-Good morning, Pastor. -Pick you up at 8:00?

So how you feel about your new daddy being a pastor?

Previously on BRUH.

We're your first trans couple, huh?

Is it hard?

We love each other. We don't even care.

Connections with the cartel. Who the hell you married to?

Two shots of whiskey, please.

-To our freedom. -To our freedom.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

He put a dead rat in my food!

How the hell does this happen?

Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. Nurse.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Just calm, relax. Relax.

-I gotta get outta here. -Look at me. No, no, no.

I got you. Look at me. Look at me.

This is gonna help you relax, okay? Look at me.

Breathe deeply. In, out. In, out. Okay. Okay.

There we go. There we go.

It doesn't matter how much security you have,

it's not gonna be enough.

Can somebody find out who's responsible for this? Okay?

You know who's responsible for this.

He's not gonna stop until he kills me.

-Okay. Okay. -You know.

-I gotta get out of here. -Claudia, Claudia.

-I gotta get out of here. -Just listen to me. Lay back.

Your body's not in any condition medically

to be moving around, okay?

What we really need to do is we need to get Jack arrested.

All right? You need to press charges.

Absolutely not. No.

This thing is really getting out of hand.

I just had a dead animal in my food.

It's been outta hand.

Okay, listen. Um, we-we have a female social worker

here at the hospital. She's on the premises.

I'm gonna have her stop by,

and if you feel comfortable, then you can talk to her.

She can stop by all she wants, I'm not talking to the police,

period.

I know.

Just breathe. Okay. I'll be back.

Hey, so uh, me and Pamela

are going to the baby outlet tomorrow.

For what?

Uh, for baby clothes, toys, and wipes,

'cause you can never have too many of those.

Oh yeah, and um, don't forget about diapers.

Well, maybe, but, I mean those come in different sizes,

so you-you know, you don't want them to grow out of them

and all that.

Hold up. Diapers come in different sizes?

Yes.

Why don't you come with us?

Get your mind off of whatever it is you've got goin' on.

I'm good. I'm good. My mind ain't on anything.

Are you sure? 'Cause you came in, showered

and now you're in bed before me.

It was just that-- It was that run.

You know that--you know I always push myself too hard.

Okay. Well, I would still like it if you came with us.

You know what? Maybe I should go.

Gotta make sure you don't spend too much money.

Whatever. Love you.

Love you, too.

-I had a really great time. -Yeah. Yeah, I did, too.

Uh, you know you don't have to go.

You can just hang out if you want to.

Chill, watch a movie or something.

That's really sweet, but I can't let sunlight get me.

I'm still not used to this.

Okay, okay.

If you want, we can go on a date sometime, talk, walk around,

get to know each other.

Talk about what?

I mean, talk about whatever. Anything, everything.

Maybe we can go on a date.

We can just experience each other.

Hmm, I don't think so.

No?

It's not you. It's like we both said, we're free now,

and I wanna enjoy my freedom. You understand.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Don't-don't even worry.

Yeah, it's no problem. It's cool.

Take care.

Make sure you get all of her information

and-and do not let her go back home.

I'll be there shortly. Okay. Bye.

-Work is never done, right? -Ain't that the truth.

It's never enough hours in a day and the day just started.

Never. I don't think we've been formally introduced.

I'm Dr. Brooks, but you can call me Tom.

Oh. Louise Kimbrough. Call me Louise.

So I've-I've seen you around the halls here quite a bit.

Oh, yeah. I stay busy. I'm either here or across town

periodically throughout the week.

Okay. Well, we're certainly happy to have your boots

-on the ground here. -Thank you.

Um, so I have a situation that I really could use your help with.

Yeah, sure. Why didn't the hospital contact me?

They've actually been trying to call your office,

but we didn't get a response.

I'm sorry. I've been on the move lately. I'm never in the office.

And plus, my assistant filters my calls to keep me on schedule

and protect my peace.

No, very understandable. Your peace is important.

Yes it is, but I don't mind you having my cell.

Something tells me you like to protect people's peace.

Your phone, Dr. Brooks.

Oh. I'm sorry. Yeah, of course.

Here you go. Yeah, you can put it right there.

Okay. So tell me about this situation.

Right. Um, so this patient, she was physically assaulted.

And she's hurt really badly, but more importantly than that,

she uh, the man, her husband, is very powerful.

Powerful as in a businessman or a street guy?

Definitely a street guy. Uh, he's actually the head of a

drug cartel and he's hell-bent on getting to her.

-How do you know this? -Well, he's showed up here.

And lied to the staff. He's trying to get closer to her.

Actually today, he had a dead rat placed in her meal.

Jesus. Is this a kingpin?

Afraid so.

And she's not gonna tell us or the police who did it,

even though everybody knows who did it. You know?

I see.

We actually have a witness too, but she's not cooperating.

So I was hoping that, um, maybe you could talk to her.

You know, just get her to understand the importance

of speaking up to get this guy off the street.

Unfortunately, if she doesn't want to speak up,

then it's on her.

Excuse me?

In severe cases like this, the victim has to decide

for herself that she's done for good.

I can't force anyone to help themselves.

Okay.

Well, what is it with this patient? Why-why do you care

so much about her?

I care about all my patients. I just--I don't want her to die.

Look, even if I get the green light

and take her on as a client, it's gonna take some time

to get her out of here.

There's a lot of red flags that need to happen.

This is a freakin' nightmare. I-I can't believe it.

Look, I have to go across town to handle another case,

but um, when I get back, I'll talk to her.

Because if he's as determined as you say,

she would definitely need to be moved.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

-Take care. -See you soon.

-Focus on a tree. -A tree? What the fuck?

With its roots growing strong and deep into the earth

that provide for us all.

I feel like I'm in quicksand.

-Focus... on your core. -On your core?

-What's that? Upstairs? -This is your core.

Oh, this the core in the middle. Oh, okay.

Ooh, this is hard. Okay, right there.

-Strengthen it. -Let's strengthen it?

-Yeah. -On my pose? Okay.

Pull your--okay. You've got it. Great.

Got you. Thank you. Appreciate that.

Okay. Wonderful.

Great. Great.

I see you focusing. You see why I can't hold my pose, right?

'Cause I have enough of these. See what I'm doing?

This is a blessing right here. You need this.

It's all natural, too. It helps. It cleanse you out

and everything. It helps you clear up that.

You see that--Okay. Stank.

How you doin'?

Look, I got something that alleviates stress, okay?

Look, look. Bow! Right there. Look at that right there.

Okay? It's gluten free, okay? And it helps you improve

your focus. It could really help you get you right, okay?

It's a blessing.

You usually don't look that way like I just went--

-John! -Huh? That's my fault.

Okay. Uh, that's all for today, guys.

Thank you so much for coming.

That's all. Thank you. You did so good.

-Namaste. -Namaste.

Okay. Hey, get at me if you wanna get on the blessing tip.

-I got you. -Are you soliciting my clients?

Only with the best product on earth. That's all I'm doing,

is giving them-- I'm trying to help them.

So they can be on the namaste. You know what I'm saying?

-With what? -As a tree deeply rooted

-in the earth. -Oh, my God, John.

What--what is that?

This right here is a blessing, okay?

It's a protein, vitamin, all-natural, organic, powerful,

nutritious blessing right here, okay? And not only that, okay?

It also got a little afrodeesiatic in it, okay?

If you want your little action. You know what I'm saying?

When you need to--

That's a big word for you. You sure you got that right?

Do you know what that means?

Yeah, I know what it means. Afrodeesiastic

means when it gets your blood flowing in your areas.

-Okay. -You know what I'm saying?

When you wanna act-- You know what I mean?

You know, I know something just like that,

but it's called aphrodisiac.

Okay, you say yours with the aphrodisiac.

Everybody says it like that.

Cool. I was close. You get what I'm saying though. It's this--

You know what happens when you get the blood flowing,

but you need to try this.

-Hey. -Hey.

-How are you? -I'm good.

Good. I wasn't um, I wasn't expecting your call

so early today.

Yeah.

Uh, oh, my God. What is all of this?

Oh, my God. Is this--

That is a 2002 French Burgundy.

Wow. Greg, where did you get this?

Uh, actually my friend out in California,

he's going through a divorce.

And his wife is really into wine, so--

He actually got this bottle specifically

-for their anniversary. -That's so romantic.

Yeah, yeah. It was until the divorce happened, obviously.

And in a rage,

he just kinda started getting rid of all of it.

How?

-He started drinking it. -That's one way to do it.

Yeah, like, the other day he calls me on the phone drunk

out of his mind like, screaming, crying, just sobbing to me.

Like, bro, I can't believe she did this to me.

She's takin' all my money. 10 years down the drain.

Like, my man--my man was a mess, you know?

I'm really sorry about that.

But I got him to chill out.

He sobered up a little bit and...

And he just offered me out of the blue to just send me

the rest of the wine he had. I'm like, man, yeah. What you mean?

Wow, Greg. I mean, this has got to be worth at least--

That is a $7,000 bottle of wine.

-Oh, um.... -A $7,000 bottle.

Sorry. Are you gonna sell them?

I might sell them, you know? I mean, it would definitely

cover the-the attorney fees for my divorce, but...

I'm like, how often do I get this quality wine for free?

You know, I'm thinkin' I gotta taste it and see if it's priced

as well as it tastes.

Take a smell.

Wow. That's bold.

Yeah. Yeah. Impressive.

Let's let it breathe a little bit here.

Set it down for a second.

It's a bit too early to be drinking wine, don't you think?

I mean, it's not too early to taste it.

It does have a beautiful color.

You know, you know, you're really beautiful.

I was talking about the wine.

Listen.

I wanna talk to you about something that is going to

change the entire dynamic of our friendship forever.

Why are you still here?

It's because I haven't told you the best part.

This product right here helps with your joints.

It alleviates inflammation. Right? Inflammation.

You got that word right.

You know, 'cause I'm thinkin' clear now.

See, the product is working.

Come on. I've never seen you as a pyramid scammer, John.

Why everybody keep saying that?

Listen, it's more like a trapezoid,

if you really wanna know.

-Trapezoid? -Trapezoid.

Don't worry about that, but it's not a scam.

Okay? This product right here can make us rich. Okay?

Listen, all I need you to do is sign up under me, right?

I can supply you with as much Blessings products as you need.

And we can start changing lives right now.

I feel like a friend of mine did this a few years ago.

-For real? -And she was supposed to get

rich off residual income or something like that.

What happened?

I don't know. She disappeared.

You know where she went? She probably got rich

and bought an island.

-Come on. No. -For real.

Ain't no way.

Listen, these vitamins and minerals are life changing.

Okay? All I need you to do is allow me to set up

some meetings here and I can show your clients how beneficial

this can be to their lives.

Okay, enough, John. You're not just gonna throw this

half-assed pitch in my face. I am the real deal, okay?

You need to treat me like the professional that I am

and pitch it to me properly.

-Okay? -Okay. Respect.

So I'm gonna go to lunch, and when I get back,

you better be ready.

Say less. I got you. Cool. You're going to lunch?

What you gonna get? You gonna get--

Don't worry about gettin' me nothin'. I got this.

I'm gonna eat some of these. Thank you, though.

I'm gonna be here. I appreciate that, Natalie.

Thank you. Ha, ha!

It's time to get ready. Let's go! Let's get the money!

Um, excuse me. Who got you cheesin' so hard so early?

Bill, can you hear me?

Girl, he's locked in.

Rodney. He's just a guy I've been chatting with.

Oh. Oh, is that what they're calling it now? Chatting?

I mean, the chat be lit, though.

Regina, this is the first guy I've liked since Mike,

and I'm liking it.

Plus, I have another date lined up with a guy named Terrance.

Dang. Okay. Booked.

No, but I'm glad. Good for you.

It does feel good to get my milkshake back on the yard.

Oh.

Ooh, but a milkshake sounds real good right now. Um.

We stopping to get milkshakes?

No, babe. Nope, but thank you for coming with us.

Aren't you on a diet? Haven't you been running...

a lot lately?

Anyways, I promised to not let Regina spend too much, Bill.

All right. You promise, promise?

Cross my heart.

Hold on. What's all this laughing? No. I'm serious.

-No. We'll get just this. -That's enough.

Cute though, right?

Oh, my God. She has it.

-Ah! -Yes!

Oh, Bill.

Is that on sale?

I just wanna see if it's big enough.

But first, I propose a toast.

Here's to new beginnings.

To new beginnings.

Wow.

That's um, intense, yet approachable.

Rich and bold.

Yeah. The body, the structure to it...

It's really complex.

What's on your mind, Greg?

Okay. At the hospital, I treated a couple

that's in a trans relationship.

And seeing how they deal with each other,

seeing their relationship, they just looked like any

other couple that really cared about each other.

Like a normal couple.

Because we are normal.

Yeah. Yeah.

But...

Seeing them, it just got me thinking.

It got me thinking about you and what you said the other day.

I heard you.

And I wanna take you out on a real date.

You do realize that people may see us. I mean, what if--

what if someone says something?

Can you handle that or are you gonna tuck your tail and run?

Listen, let 'em talk.

I want you.

And I wanna treat you how you deserve to be treated,

starting with a real date.

-Okay. -Okay? This is yeah?

You can take me on a real date.

The hell?

Boy, what's wrong with you?

Throwing your clothes all over my damn floor?

My bad, Ma. I'ma get 'em in a second. I just need--

Ma, what are you doing? Okay?

What the hell? I done seen it before.

Ma, I need to take a shower, so I can get

- to the yoga studio. -It ain't much to look at.

Yoga? You doing yoga?

I am today. It's part of my strategy, okay,

since things didn't work out with the reverend.

Oh, hell. You address him as Mister.

And I told you what would happen to you

if you brought that mess up.

Well, that mess is the reason why I got up early

to go to the yoga studio. And now I got--

Mama!

Come on, now! I'm getting dressed!

I gotta do a pitch.

I got my product Blessings, Incorporated at the yoga studio.

Oh, so you still gonna go through with this here?

Yes, I'm going through with it. Okay, Ma?

I can feel it. It's almost my breakthrough, okay?

All I gotta do is show Natalie, the yoga girl,

that my product is beneficial, bro, and I can have it up there.

Oh, okay.

Ma, what are you doin'?

You know, you kinda remind me of my Uncle Clarence.

Ma, who the hell is Uncle Clarence?

You know, Uncle Clarence. My daddy's younger brother.

You know, when they were kids he used to make

bathtubs full of moonshine in my grandmama's house.

And my daddy would always get blamed for the lingering alcohol

smell that was left behind.

So, Papa took the rap for him.

Yeah, yeah, he did. Hey, but he paid the price.

My grandmama laid that switch on his ass.

So we have bootleggers in our family tree, huh, Ma?

Yeah, yeah we do. You know, my daddy told me

he used to hustle mason jars of that stuff all over town.

And people used to slam the door in his face.

Hey, but he kept going. He never gave up.

He made a lot of money, too.

So Uncle Clarence had the entrepreneurial spirit in him?

Yeah, he did and so do you.

What?

Yeah, I'm proud of you.

You been drinkin' that moonshine?

-I know. -You're drunk.

Look, I know I don't say it much, but damn.

Ma, you don't say it at all.

Can you take a damn compliment, fool?

Okay.

I mean, you know, it's your focus.

You know, your dedication, your enthusiasm.

And you haven't made any money.

Yet. I haven't made it-- I haven't made any money yet.

Yeah, you haven't made any money yet.

Yet. I haven't made any money yet. Exactly.

But I'm proud to see it.

Wow. Thanks, Ma. I really appreciate that.

You sure you ain't tryin' to partner up

'cause I'm about to make some money. You hear me?

-Don't bring that shit up again. -Okay.

-Okay? I told you I'm good. -Okay.

But I wish you all the luck.

Yeah, keep that same spirit Uncle Clarence had.

And they'll be buying before you know it.

You can do this shit. I know you can.

-Thanks, Ma. -Go and get that money.

So you can pay me my damn money back.

Okay, Ma.

Thank you, Ma.

I'm in the money!

Yeah, yeah.

That boy ain't gonna do shit.

Look at these damn clothes all over my damn house.

How the hell you gonna make some money?

You can't even put your damn clothes up.

That shit a joke.

Well, fuck it.

Damn, Claudia.

Run.

What?

Run.

Run.

No, run!

No, run!

Run!

Bill, you have to run!

Run!

No. No, no, no, no. Claudia, wake up.

No, no, no, no, no.

No! Come on!

Wake up!

-Bill. Bill! -No!

-Bill, wake up! -No!

Uh, what's going on?

Where are we?

I just got our food. Pamela just went home.

What-what-- Are you okay?

What's happening?

Oh, shit. Whoo.

I'm sorry, baby. I was just a-- I had a--I had a dream that um,

that salesperson was trying to sell us that

expensive-ass $500 shoulder. Um, stroller. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. It was a designer stroller.

I don't think babies need designer.

Well, my baby gonna have designer.

Yeah, it was a-- It was nice tonight.

You know, it was just cuteness all over the place.

I know. The little booties and stuff, and the little hat.

Just...

Oh, it was like a cuteness overload,

but actually I am hungry.

Gonna eat my sandwich, so... Can we go?

We are hungry.

No help? Okay, well, daddy duty already. Okay.

All right. So thank you so much for this opportunity

to present this. I really appreciate it.

So me, me. Just get my vocal pitch.

Okay. Um. Blessings Incorporated is the corner--

No, that's not what-- That's not it, okay?

This product transforms lives.

Okay.

This is what I'm gonna do.

Simply put, this product sells itself.

It's healthy.

It's changing lives every day. Mine being one.

Okay? Since I've taken this product, I'm more energetic.

I'm more focused.

And I'm more determined than I've ever been in my life.

Your clients can use this product in their smoothies.

They can put it on their salads.

It will improve their performance,

and most importantly, improve their flexibility,

which you're all about.

Okay. Is there entry fees associated with this?

Only if you wanna be a partner.

Which can be a whole other source of income,

which, you know, you can never have too much money.

Mm-hmm. Ain't that the truth?

Look, Natalie, seriously,

I'm tired of being a joke. I'm serious about this.

And if you're serious about me,

please take the chance to invest in yourself, to invest in me.

That's all I have.

-That was very honest. -Thank you.

Okay.

Okay, what?

Okay, I'll try it. And if I like it,

then you can have a meeting here.

Oh, my God. Are you serious?

-It's not a yes, okay? -No. No.

But it's not a no either, so...

Natalie, thank you so much. Listen, I know you are

gonna say yes, but I ain't gonna get too ahead of myself.

Ah! Thank you! Hey, come on. Bring it in!

Give me love! Show me the love! We're family!

-Oh, Lord. -Thank you, Natalie.

I appreciate it. I'm telling you, this product works.

-Blessings. -It's a blessing.

Listen, bless your life.

-Okay? -All right.

Thank you, Natalie. You won't regret it.

-I want this. -You want this? Go ahead.

-All right. I'm gonna take that. -You gonna keep it? Okay.

-I'm taking this. -Okay. Don't worry about it.

-It's on the house. -Thanks.

-I paid for it. -Appreciate it.

-Cool. -Okay. Cool.

You ain't got, like, a dollar to put up--

Okay, never mind. Don't worry about it. Thank you.

Invest in me while you invest in you.

-We bless each other. -Exactly.

Respect. Respect.

Wow. Yes!

Louise, thank you so much for coming back.

So I did a little digging based on the information

you gave me earlier, and reached out to an old

detective friend of mine who's retired. And this--

Is this the guy, her husband?

Yeah, yeah, that's him. What did you guys learn?

Two other women who were his girlfriends wound up dead

from mysterious circumstances, and each time he got off.

They weren't able to prove it was him.

Oh, my God. We gotta--we gotta tell her.

No, no, no. We can't. Not yet.

First, let me talk to her, woman to woman.

I need to convince her to do the right thing

because if she doesn't, he will definitely kill her.

He has money, power and influence.

He's a monster.
