Choose to be happy.

I am strong and confident.

I am worthy of
love and affection.

My past mistakes
do not define me.

I'm strong and confident.

I'm worthy of love, affection.

My past mistakes
do not define me.

Abby.

Hey, Trish.

Here is your coffee.

- Thank you.
- And I made

those copies for you.
- What's the rush?

Girl, I am heading out

running late for my
doctor's appointment.

- Oh, that's today?
- Yeah.

Listen, I rescheduled
your 11 o'clock

and your one o'clock,

so you have time to work
on that Grimore deal.

- Oh, good, thanks.
- You are welcome.

See you at dinner tonight?

- Yes, I'll see you then.
- Okay.

Hey, TJ. I am having some
trouble logging in this morning.

Could you come
check it out for me?

I have a deadline
a couple of hours.

Okay. Thanks.

That's the crown of thorns.

Um, yeah, it's
like my lucky charm.

Nice.

What can I do for you,
Ryan? Make it quick.

Wow. Straight
to the point, huh?

Well, it's a Monday.

Um, I have a pitch I'm
trying to make to a client,

but before I send it to the MD,

I was hoping you'd take
a look at it for me

and help me polish it.

- Rookies.
- Gimme a break.

I've only been working
here for a few weeks.

Hey, I'd really appreciate it.

Okay. Um, how's
Wednesday after work?

Great. Thank you.

Yeah, and we can go over
the SEC filing then, too.

What SEC filing.

Well, you've signed
off on Dobney Capital's

SEC report last year, right?
- Yeah.

I'm on the team
working on it this year.

Just wanted to know what to
expect, and if you thought

anything was off about
last year's report.

Well, I found some
unregistered investments

and I alerted Dave about it.

I think he took
over it right away

so reporting should
go well this year.

Could you see me in my office?

Sure.

Um, yeah. I'll just, I'll
catch up with you later.

Yeah. Sounds good.

Lynn?

Mm. have a seat.

If this is about
the Rivera file,

I wasn't going to overlook
you and go straight to Dave.

Here's the hard copy.
It's ready for appraisals.

And I would email it to you,

but I'm having some technical
issues this morning.

Abby, you know, you are one

of the best assets
we have at this firm.

I don't need to sit here
and recite your many wins

and accomplishments, so
I'll just cut to the chase.

We're transferring your live
deals to one of our new hires.

I've worked really
hard on those deals.

A new hire can't handle
those negotiations.

Well, he will be supervised.

With all due respect, Lynn,

this firm doesn't pay
me enough to babysit.

You won't be supervising him.

- What are you saying,
- Abby,

I, I tried to stand up for you.

I did, but tough decisions
just had to be made.

I mean, the finance
department was seeing numbers

that make it necessary
to downsize right now.

I'm gonna need
to talk to Dave.

It was Dave's decision.

Wow.

I don't mean to brag,

but I have a lot to do with
the success of this firm.

I'm really sorry,
Abby. It wasn't personal.

So how many of us do
you deem disposable?

Lynn?

One.

You can see yourself out.

Hey, is this a good time?

They're making a big
mistake doing this.

But listen, when one
door closes, another
one opens, right?

Oh, really?

Is that how you see it?

I'm just saying, you should
still count your blessings.

Any other optimistic cliches

you wanna vomit in my direction?

You got a half cup of coffee
that you want to offer me.

You know nothing about
what I've had to endure

to be who I am.

The disrespect, the disregard,
the hate I've had to overcome

the struggles, the struggles
that come with looking like me.

You have no idea
what that's like.

I saw your resume in the
pool of applicant's, Ryan

you didn't even
make my top five.

I had no idea I was helping
them pick my replacement.

You didn't earn that
position. It was given to you.

- Listen-
- Save it, Ryan.

Save your sermon for your
next unsuspecting victim.

I won't be lectured by
a mediocre, overhyped,

unaccomplished accountant.

Hey, we need to,

we need to do something
about this [indistinct].

Why aren't you picking up?

Hello?

Abby,
what happened?

I called you
like 50 times, Jay.

I was at the gym.

- I'm home.
- What, now?

After five years, they
think I'm disposable.

I've worked hard, I've been
loyal, and this is what I get.

Unbelievable.

- Abby, what's going on?
- Dave sent his puppy dog

Lynn to fire me today.
- Fired?

She had the
audacity to tell me

that they were downsizing
by one employee.

Me.

She was clearly
enjoying herself.

"Abby, I tried to stand
up for you." Liar.

She probably
orchestrated everything.

Okay, okay, hold
on, Abby, relax.

They hired Ryan to replace me.

Hey, who's Ryan?

I thought Dave was different.

I'm due for promotion, but
instead of promoting me,

they hire newbie to
take all my deals.

Look, come here, Abby. You
work harder than anyone I know.

You'll find another job
like tomorrow. Relax.

Thanks, babe. I always feel
better after talking to you.

Ah, you know what?

Why don't we head down to Sauces
and talk about this, okay?

Help you unwind-
- Jonathan,

I honestly don't feel
like eating right now.

And this happening three
months before our wedding.

Remind me to tell
our wedding planner

that anyone that
has anything to do

with Dobney Capital is
disinvited from our wedding.

Geez, were you
wrestling someone in the bed?

Huh? Oh, nah.

You know, I think I had
some kind of crazy dream

just thrashing around all night.

Jonathan, I know you.

The first thing you do in
the morning is make the bed.

Well, I, I took a
nap after I woke up.

It's like 10:00 AM.

So did you take a nap before
or after you went to the gym?

I, um I,

Trish?

What are you doing here?

- I'm so sorry, Abby.
- What's going on?

Jonathan?

I know what this
must look like to you.

You weren't supposed
to find out like this.

I get it, if you hate me, but

this isn't a fling,
this is real.

It's been eating away
at me for so long.

Jonathan, what is
she talking about?

We kept it from you for so
long because we care about you.

You care about me? This is
how you show you care about me?

Shut up, Trisha.
Just stop talking.

Jonathan, how could you
do this? She's my friend.

Abby, you should
have seen this coming.

How?

It's just difficult
to plan a future

with someone I barely see.

Your world revolves
around your job.

You encouraged me to
work the way that I do.

Whatever happened to, "Abby,
my little power house?"

Or did you just say this so
you can sleep with my friend?

Jonathan, what about our
wedding, our dream house?

See, that's the problem.
You want all that stuff.

The bigger it is, the
faster it is, the better.

It's refreshing
to be with someone

that's not so much about stuff.

You won't even wear house
slippers less than $200,

and all of a sudden you
want low maintenance.

Look, I, [Jonathan sighing].

I didn't wanna break the
news to you this way,

but hey, it is what it is.

I am.

I'm in love.

Ah, in love?

Jonathan, you don't mean that.

I won't accept that.
Let's talk about it.

We can work it out.
Trisha, get out.

Abby, I think
you should leave.

What? Go where?

I live here.

This house is under my name.

I paid the mortgage, Jonathan.

I had a really nice time today.

- Did you?
- Mm-hmm.

Good, I had
a pretty good day myself.

Oh, it was
nice to get out.

Yeah. Beautiful day, beautiful
weather, beautiful woman.

- Oh
- Yeah.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome, baby.

Oh baby, you missed our turn.

I know, we're
not going home yet.

- Where are we going?
- To the future.

Where are we?

Welcome [lips
smacking] to the future.

I can't wait for
you to be my wife

and for us to live
in a house like this

and be whoever we want to be.

- Jonathan, what's going on?
- Don't you like it?

It's perfect for us.

- The house?
- Yeah.

It's beautiful. It's big.

- Yes, yes, yes, yes.
- And we can't afford it.

What if I told you there
was a way we can afford it?

- I'd like to know.
- Oh, I bet you do.

- Yeah.
- Well, I got a plan.

I'll show you.
- Okay.

Yeah, now come on.
Let's check it out.

I'd like to book
a room, please.

I want one with a king size
bed, if you have that available.

Your card has been declined.

That can't be, can
you please try it again?

Okay.

I'm sorry, the payment
is not going through.

Do you have another
card you'd like to try?

Um, do you mind if
I make a quick call?

I'll be right back.

I'll just give you
a check, thank you.

Thank you
for calling Abide Bank.

How can we help you Miss Mensah?

The mutual fund.

I, I came a couple of months
ago with Jonathan Elder

um, and we signed off
on the investments.

It's the same day the
joint account was opened.

The mutual
fund, I don't see one.

And the joint account is closed.

- Did you say closed?
- Yes ma'am.

No, that can't be, can
I talk to Terry Bynum?

He no
longer works here, ma'am.

Can we take a few days
to think about this?

Time is of the essence
with this kind of deal.

You've seen the paperwork,

you know this checks
out, it's solid.

If we wait, we'll miss
out on the profit.

No, Jonathan, I can't,

I can't put all my
eggs in one basket.

What if we lose everything?

That's what the
joint account is for.

You knew this when
we opened it, Abby.

Like, I don't
think this is worth

emptying my savings account,
drawing from my 401k.

I've already told
you about the return.

It'd be 10 times our investment.

We'd be crazy not to do this.

It's because you don't
trust me, isn't it?

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

Trust me. I love you.

I'm not throwing
our future away.

You know, I'm risking
it all too you know?

You're not alone.

This is for us.

So,
what's the verdict?

We're in.

All right then.

All I need are both of your
signatures, here and here.

Excuse me, ma'am,
ma'am, ma'am,

would you still
like to book a room?

Um

I, I think I can't.

Then you need to leave.
Sorry hotel policy.

I have $49, I know
that's not enough,

but I, just give me
till tomorrow morning.

I promise I will make
sure I balance you up.

I'm sorry ma'am. Our cheapest
room starts at 120 a night.

I understand that.

I know, but um, I'm
a professional woman.

I'm normally not
in this situation

and what's happening right now,

I will get to the bottom of it,

but, um, just give me
till tomorrow morning

and I promise I will pay
you the rest of the money.

Ma'am, there's
nothing I can do.

Now, if you want, I can
sell you some chips.

- Lemme see that.
- Mm.

Yeah, you got yourself
pretty good on that one,

didn't you, Abby?

See what happens when I try
to be domesticated for you.

Yep, you got yourself good.

- Can you make it feel better?
- Of course.

Let me get you a Band-Aid.

You always have
my back, don't you?

Every time.

What?

Your pendant, Matthew 6:33.

Yeah, you know
grandpa loved Jesus.

And I do too, of
course, you know that.

You don't even know
what that verse says.

- Trisha, so judgmental.
- I'm just saying.

They put the whole
Bible in an app

it only takes a second to look.

I know, I know,
and you know what?

I got that promotion the first
day I wore this necklace.

So now I just wear
it for good luck.

Oh, hi honey.

- Hey sweetie.
- Thank you so much

for being here.
- Of course.

Even though I don't
like you meeting my family

under these
circumstances, you know?

- Oh, no.
- Yeah,

everyone's been great,
your family, your friends.

I'm just glad to be here.

- Thank you.
- Mm, [lips smacking].

Can I help you?

Good morning to you, morning.

I don't have any money.

I'm just wondering
if you have some food?

My little Benny here,

she's a little, she's
a little bit hungry.

Oh, sure.

I have these. I hope it helps.

Yes, yes it does.
Thank you very much.

I I can help you with that.

If you don't mind me asking you,

what exactly are you doing here?

Oh, I'm afraid that's a little
hard for me to answer, man

'cause the way I'm living,
it ain't all that exact.

But shouldn't,
shouldn't your daughter

get you some kind of privilege
at a shelter or something?

You must be a
first timer, huh?

- Excuse me?
- Well, yeah.

We stayed at the city
center last night

and it was a good stay.

But you don't wanna
overstay your welcome.

You know, they have limits
on that kind of stuff.

So you gonna tell me your story?

Huh? What do you mean?

Well, how did you
say it a minute ago?

What exactly are you doing here?

I don't really know.

I lost my job, my house, my
money, my fiance, everything.

Can I have some more?

Sure.

There you go.

Sounds to me like you're
in due for a finding.

I just need to stop
and smell the roses

in this wonderful journey
called life, right?

I don't know. Do you?

This isn't a glass half
full kind of situation.

Ain't nobody say
nothing about no glasses.

I'm sorry. You don't
know me, I don't know you.

Trust me, this is the last
place I thought I'd be in life.

Sometimes God doesn't
give us what we want

He gives us what we need.

And I'm, I'm sad sorry to
break it to you like this, but,

but maybe right now, right
where you are standing,

it might be where
you need to be.

I'm just trying to figure
out all things went so wrong.

You're asking the questions
to the wrong person.

Look, let me ask you,
in fact, what did you do

that got you here?

Me? Nothing.

Are you sure?

I climbed the
corporate ladder.

I thought my fiance loved me.

I thought my best
friend cared about me.

I thought every I, I did
everything I thought was right.

But you know what?

I am learning that it doesn't
matter how successful,

or how hard you work,
it just doesn't work out

for people who,
who look like us.

Let me tell you something,

all those people at the
city center last night,

they look different from us,
but we all felt the same.

And seems to me that,
that you're searching

for validation and answers
in all the wrong places.

Now, I, I don't have the answer

of those people
that did your wrong.

They don't have
the answers either.

And climbing the
corporate ladder,

it don't have nothing
to do with this.

Here, here, you take
this, now I, I got plenty.

They've been giving them
out at the civic center.

That one's for you,
here come, come Benny,

say, you say thank you to
Miss Abby for the breakfast.

Say goodbye.

Thank you Miss Abby
for the breakfast. Bye.

Bye.

All right. So that
looks good for now.

Next up on the
list we have here.

- Yep, let me take a look.
- Okay.

Why does this have Abby
Mensah's name all over it?

You know, she's no
longer employed here.

Well, right, but I was
looking over her SEC filings

and thought it might
follow her protocol, she-

Ryan, she was
fired for a reason.

So why do you think it would
be a good idea to follow her?

Well, she was one of
the company's top VPs

before she was fired, right?

That's a subjective take.

You know, you're just better
off just

This is Lynn. Yeah, okay.

Of course. Mm-hmm,
anything I can do?

Oh, hold on one second, Dave,

I've got Ryan here
with, sitting with me.

Yeah, the new analyst.

He's needs some direction on
a project he's working on.

Okay, I'm gonna put
you on speakerphone.

- Hello, Ryan.
- Hey, Dave.

Yeah, so I'm working
on our SEC files

and I wanted to know the
best way to go about it.

I took a minute to review the
submission from last year.

He wants to know
if he should follow

Abby Mensah's protocol, Dave.

Abby brought some
good things to the table,

but she used some
unfamiliar methods

when putting together
last year's SEC file.

So I would advise against
using the same procedures.

Well, I mean, they
seemed okay to me.

In fact, didn't they catch
some unusual records?

Yeah, just follow
company policy, Ryan. Okay?

Thanks Dave. I got it from here.

Ryan, this job isn't
that difficult. Okay?

It's been done before
and doesn't require

so much extra attention,
so just get it done.

Look, look right here.
Last year's returns.

They show a discrepancy.
A large one too.

You know what?

If you see anything else
from last year's filings,

just bring 'em to
me, I'll handle 'em.

Okay, you just focus
on other projects.

Yes ma'am.

And, Ryan, the
next time you see

Abby Mensah's name on anything,

take a really close look at it

and then do the exact opposite.

She may have been some
top rated whatever,

but that was months
ago, we've moved on.

Yeah, understood.

Excuse me.

I
just couldn't let someone

like you open their own door.

- Why, thank you.
- George Strickland.

Thanks, George.

I'm Abby. Abby Mensah.

The golden girl?

- The golden What?
- Listen,

I read all about
you back in the day.

- Oh, you, you did.
- Yeah.

You used to be at Martin
Investments, right?

- Right, right.
- And then you left there

to make a name for
yourself at Dobney.

And now you're here already
climbing up the ladder.

Well, I-

Listen, it's just
my third day here

and I've already heard your
name like 10 different times.

- I don't know about that.
- Well,

I know you're a
connection that I need.

So you wanna show me the
coffee situation around here?

I wish I could. I have an
important meeting to get to, so.

So you mean to tell me that
you are gonna make my day

a little less
brighter then, huh?

- Rain check.
- Rain check.

Seek you first the kingdom
of God and His righteousness

and all these things
will be added up to you.

Seek you first the kingdom
of God and His righteousness

and all these things
will be added up to you.

Did someone just
let you in here?

Ah, yes, your, your
assistant Sharon,

she said I could come in.

She doesn't tell
me about meetings

she just lets
people in my office.

Yeah, and of course, no coffee.

What do you think?
- About?

She has one job and
that's to assist me.

Oh, maybe she has a
lot going on right now.

I'm in the business
to be the best.

I have no room for sloths
and underachievers.

I will not minimize
the greatness

of Sullivan and
Associates for anyone.

So if you think you need a
pacifier every time you screw up

or don't do your job,
you're in the wrong place.

Sorry.

- You're Mensah?
- Yes.

Your reports and projections

always turn out to
be very precise.

Good work.

Thank you, I I have

actually been looking
for the opportunity

to thank you for giving
me a chance to work here.

I'm really looking forward
to continue my work here.

- So Paulina hired you?
- Yes.

Thank her. Not me.

- Oh, okay, of course.
- Anything else?

Pharon, I'm
sorry to interrupt.

We were just finishing up.

I would like to give my 2
cents for what it's worth.

As Abby's immediate supervisor,
I would just like to say

that I think she's done
an outstanding job.

Um, I mean, even in a
role as limited as hers,

she's really shown
significant value to the team.

I think she's got great
promise here at Sullivan.

Well, you've succeeded at
impressing the executive staff.

Don't mess that up,
with them or me.

Yes, sir. Thank you.

Pharon, I do
need your approval

on these mortgage
rate forecasts.

Interest rates are
falling rapidly.

It's pretty good for
many in our portfolio.

Yeah, didn't I see something

about housing bubble and a bust?

That's a little concerning,
wouldn't you think?

All indications show that
this is not a bubble at all.

Other analysts agree
with my determination.

Your report, you seem

to have an interesting
take on the housing market.

Um, my conclusion in the
report is that interest rates

will actually soon go up
exponentially and very quickly.

So it is my recommendation
that we invest in an instrument

betting that the housing
market will actually collapse.

No, no other
analyst has come to me

with this recommendation.

Look, I think it
prudent for us to listen

to the majority voice here.

Mensah, what
type of instrument,

in which way are we betting?

Mortgage backed
securities will be ideal

if we could get a firm
to create an instrument

and we could bet against
their housing market.

But my probability,
we have a high chance

of not just winning the bet,

but actually acquiring
the firm as well, so.

I'm gonna need some
time with this one.

Thank you.

I'll let you know my decision
at a later time, Paulina.

Sharon, coffee would be nice.

How come no one told me

that a multimillion dollar
company can't afford coffee?

Close the door please.

Contradicting me
in front of the boss?

You're lucky I don't
take things personally.

Well, he had my report
right in front of him.

I couldn't say
anything different.

Wow.

It's okay and congratulations,

you get to stay on the island.

Barely, I was sweating in
there. Pharon is intense.

Mm, but you'll be fine.

Just as long as you
don't have to go near him

or talk to him or look at him.

No, you'll be fine.

- Are you sure?
- Yes.

Oh, thank you so much for
everything you said in there.

- Oh, of course.
- I really mean it.

I appreciate it.

Colleague, supervisor,
friends are for.

Oh, you're sweet.

Oh, oh my goodness.
My sweetheart.

Oh my, he got us a
hot schwarma lunch.

Probably used my credit card,

but oh well the
thought that counts

right?
- Right.

So you have a sweetheart now?

Yes, he's probably
overindulged,

so there'll be leftovers,
do you wanna join us?

I actually already
have plans, so-

Oh, with someone?

No, it's not like that.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I'm a starving.
- Ooh.

- Let's eat.
- Okay.

Bye, Paulina.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

I thought that was you, Abby.

Ryan, hey.

You mind?

No, go ahead. How are you?

All right.

I'm getting along,
how about you.

I'm good. How's work?

You're not missing much.

I, I, you are you, I'm
guessing you're onto

bigger and better
things now, right?

Quite the opposite. I'm
just an analyst, like you.

Well, I'm sure
you'll be climbing

that corporate
ladder again soon.

You're a, you're a
pretty tenacious woman.

Tenacious? Jonathan
used to say that.

- Used to say that?
- Well, he's long gone

and I do not want to talk
about it to be honest.

Don't tell me you're
not over, are you?

- Why would you say that?
- Look at you.

He's still has grip on you,
you gotta be kidding me.

You don't know
anything about me.

I know you, Abby, a lot
better than you think I do.

Lynn and Dave, they don't
know everything about me, so.

It's Dave and Lynn
aren't my sources.

Is that what happened
with Jonathan?

Did he find out about the baby?

That's it, I I shouldn't
have said that. I'm sorry.

Well, look who it is.

I didn't know you still hung
out in places like this.

Oh, I'm Ava, his ex-wife.

Um, I'm leaving.

It's good seeing you, Ryan.

So you're Ryan now?

Whoo, hoo, hoo, hoo,
ooh, I hit it, babe.

- Hit what?
- The jackpot.

We gonna be sitting for a, a
long, long time on this one.

- Tell me more.
- All right, so look at this.

So I made a contact at Dobney.

Dobney Capital, my job?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Isn't it great?

It's this, dude,
Tim, do you know him?

Tim doesn't sound familiar.
What's his last name?

Not sure and I saw the guy.

But anyway, he has
an in at the firm

and he can get me insider plays.

Okay?

It takes the guesswork
out of it, Trish.

This means that we'll know
exactly where to put our money

to get the biggest return.

And that means?

We won't have to worry
about anything, Trish.

This thing is guaranteed.

Guaranteed? Okay, so
when is this happening?

Like after the wedding or-

Wedding? I, no, I'm
talking about this week.

This week?

Yeah, Tim's expecting
a bull market.

If we don't move now,
we'll never get a shot.

- So what are you gonna do?
- This is the part

where I need you to trust me.

I can't do this on my own.

What do you want?

You want money? My money?

Trish, we're a team.

We have each other's backs.

I stood by you
when Abby lost it.

I need you to stand by me now.

Jonathan, you know I don't
have that kind of money.

But you're smart.

You have money saved up.

For emergencies.

I can't even believe
you would ask me to-

Well, wait, wait, wait,
what's with your attitude?

You're supposed to be
excited about this.

You know what? You keep talking
about weddings and all that.

Well, it's this, or else.

Okay, so is that a threat?

What do you think?

I'm not gonna do it, Jonathan.

So if you want it that
bad, you go figure it out.

Fine.

You want a wedding,
honeymoon a good life?

You figure it out,
with someone else.

- Who is this?
- Abby, it's Ryan.

- How did you get my number?
- I just wanted to,

I wanted to apologize
about yesterday

I shouldn't have
said what I said.

How did you even
know about that?

The story should have
been dead a long time ago.

I can explain.

Well, I'm listening,

But I would, I'd rather
do it face to face.

You free tonight?

- I don't know, I-
- Yeah, no, I,

I can meet you after work.

We can discuss things further.

You pick the place,
dinner's on me.

Oh, Abby,

- I'm glad I could catch you.
- Um, yes.

Hello, Abby?

Um, your report was
missing a few details.

- Oh, it was?
- Yes.

You missed the
weekly percentages

and you didn't calculate
future outcomes.

And that's not like you.
Should I be concerned?

Well, Paulina, I'm
really sorry about that.

I did have some things
on my mind and I-

Is there a reason why you
couldn't get to it yesterday?

- Oh, I rushed it yesterday.
- It's Pharon, isn't it?

- Pharon, um-
- You can tell me, Abby.

I, I remember I used
to be in your shoes.

You know, honestly, that
man is a pressure cooker.

You cannot let him
get to you, okay?

I tell you what, you work
on this report tonight.

You get it to me in the morning

and no one will
have to know, okay?

Okay. Well thanks for
having my back for, Paulina.

- Girls gotta stick together.
- Right.

Well, I'll get right on
it and get it to you.

- Perfect.
- Okay.

Did you notice how horrible
the parking was this morning?

The garage was packed.

No, I didn't notice.

Well, it's unacceptable.

I keep asking HR for-
- There you are, Polly Foo.

Hi.

You know I always love to
see your beautiful face

but don't you have
some meetings to run?

They can wait. I
wanted to see you first.

Oh, you're trying to
keep me around, aren't you?

It's not supposed
to be that obvious.

Well, I need
you to keep your job.

You're worth more
than your good looks.

Um.

Yeah, I was thinking of
ordering some lunch too.

Perfect timing, I
gotta take this,

but you're not off
the hook, Abby.

Tim, thanks for meeting
me. Is everything to go?

It is on my end.
You got what you need?

Just gotta get my hands
on a few more thousand.

The deadline. Two
days, man, two days.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
know. I'm working on it.

If you can't give
me the money, I can't
make any promises.

You know how fast
these things move.

I know, I'll get you the
money. Just save my spot, okay?

Two days.

Rest of the stuff.

All right, good, good.

We got the socials,
the addresses, the
bank accounts, good.

And you signed this here?

Yeah, yeah, I signed.

Nice.

All right, I'm gonna get
you that account at Dobney,

but if you don't give you the
money you're out, no deal.

What is it this time,
Ava? Oh, whoa, what?

Oh, he, he did
what? Where are you?

Okay, look, I'm on my way.
I'll, I'll be right there.

So, now that we're alone,

have you given my
project any thought?

No, no, I haven't.

And you should
probably think twice

about what you're
doing right now.

Abby, Abby, Abby, we
could do so much together.

Just forget about it,
George. Just forget about it.

I'm, I'm not doing
this. I can't.

If Paulina-
- Listen.

Paulina's old news baby,
in more ways than one.

Back up.

Listen, I could put a
bug in her ear for you.

Help get you to that next
door, Paulina listens to me

and all you have to do
is a couple favors for me

here and there, and
you just never know.

- Ava?
- Hey, I'm in here.

What is going on?

It's really not
as bad as it looks.

He, he got mad.

I said some words and things
just kind of got crazy.

Where is he?
- He left before you got here.

What are
you doing [indistinct].

This isn't you.
You can't do this.

I know, how did we get here?

I don't know. You divorced me.

Because I thought that
was the only answer.

I was wrong. Aren't I
allowed to be wrong?

We can't change what's done.

Let's gotta move on.

But, don't you miss
this? Don't you miss us?

Is it us now?

You, you know what I mean?

Maybe God is trying
to tell us something.

I mean, think about it.

Who else can we depend
on except each other?

Come on, Abby. Why
are you fighting it?

There's no one around,
no one to see it.

Or hear it.

George. This is wrong.

- Why?
- You are not single, George.

I think it's obvious.

Listen, it's, it was
obvious, the connection

that we had the very first day.

Yeah, but you're not single.

Listen, Paulina thinks I'm
her man, and that's fine by me

because she gives
me what I want.

But you know how
an older woman is?

Like, sometimes a young fine man

shows her a little
bit of attention

and they get all
weak in the knees.

Now she is desperate.

But the real feelings,

they're reserved for
a girl like you, Abby.

I can't.

Abby, what, what's
the matter? You okay?

Paulina, you need to do
something about your employees.

Why?

Abby's behavior was
completely out of line.

And it has been for some
time, if I'm being honest.

How dare you? How dare you?

No, Paulina. That's not
true, let me explain.

What is going on?

- If you-
- Babe,

I'm surprised you didn't notice

she's been coming onto me.

- Coming onto you?
- Wow.

Coming onto you?
- I thought it was obvious.

You've been
coming onto George?

No, no. Paulina,
that's not true.

Quiet! What else?

It just happened.
Polly, she cornered me.

- I told you to stop talking.
- She tried to get physical.

Let
me explain Paulina.

She doesn't need
to explain anything.

- Tap him in
- Pharon?

Dave, what do you want?

I hear you people
treading water over there?

Well, I've heard
the same thing about you too.

Ah, we're getting through
and exactly what did you hear?

Stop. I know you.

Your confidence hasn't
been strong lately, has it?

We're doing all right.

Oh, and your investors,

are they okay with
just doing all right?

I wanna know
what you want, now,

before I hang up this phone.

All right, all right.

You know how hard it's
been these past few years?

Yes, and I don't plan
on making it easy for you.

Well, I was kind of hoping
you would, Pharon, you see-

Hope doesn't work on
me. What else do you have?

They got me cornered.

They've been tracking
our federal submissions

and somehow they got into Dobney

and the whole place
is compromised.

They? I'm gonna need you to
be a whole lot more specific.

I'm pretty sure it's the feds.

I, I don't know how, but
I have some suspicions

and I need you to cover for me.

And I should put myself
on the line because?

We're underwater here.

I couldn't change
this if I wanted to.

You know our reported
numbers are inflated.

We're losing
personnel like crazy.

It's like they can
sense what's going on.

I'm just trying
to come out alive.

And my incentive
to help you is?

You'll get our
investment accounts.

Go on.

I need a place to
dump the shell accounts.

We'll include
legitimate clients too.

And that way everything
will look nice and neat.

The feds will be too busy
clearing the dust to notice.

I'm not adding you
dupes to my books.

I will tell you how I
can help you out there.

Get your team to
create an instrument

for mortgage backed securities.

You bet on the housing market

and I'll bet on the collapse.

Are you kidding?

The interest rate is the
lowest we've seen in years.

What makes you think
it's gonna collapse?

So then why would you be
afraid to make this deal?

Okay, well
it's your funeral.

Then let's get on it.
The quicker the better.

Who's your point?

Point?
Well, it'll be Lynn.

All right.

And I'll get someone on my
side to handle some details.

- Pharon, I owe you.
- No, Dave.

No, no, no.

This is only a deal if you
agree to the acquisition

if I win the bet.

- You know I can't do that.
- Then call someone else.

Pharon, hold on.

I am just saying
we've had so much together

and I don't think we saw
it when we should have.

You are the one I turn
to when I need help.

When I'm hurt or in trouble,
it's always been you, Tim.

I don't know what you
want me to say right now

or why this matters,

it's, it's too late to go back.

Does it have to be?

Yeah, you made your choice.

I got to take this.

Hello? Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah, well that's a
little bit ahead schedule,

but we can, we can move
things up, make that happen.

Well, the director
it's Pharon, right.

Okay. I'm on way.

Exhibit A. Let me
guess another case.

- Yeah, so?
- So,

this is the problem, Tim.

It was never me. I never
signed up for this.

We had this conversation
before we got married.

So yeah, you did
sign up for this.

Despite what you might
think, I deserve to be loved.

I deserve to be happy,
and I deserve to be first.

You know, I, I really am sorry

you didn't think I
loved you, but I did.

I would've done anything
to make this work.

You're not first
Ava, neither am I.

God is.

I gotta go.

Paulina, this is not
what it looks like.

Then what is it?

- I wouldn't do that to you.
- Yes, you would,

given the chance you would have.

- You're wrong.
- Then why are we here?

I'm not that kind of person.

And I'd like to think
you know that about me.

Do I?

I seem to remember
through the grapevine

about your previous liaisons.

You too? I thought
that was over.

You know, I was in your
shoes a few months ago

and I know how you must
be feeling right now.

But trust me, this is
not what it looks like.

After all that
I've done for you?

Yes, after all
you've done for me.

How could I do this to you?

I had no one to turn
to, nowhere to go.

And you give me a chance

as a coworker and
even, even as a friend.

To do that, I'd be betraying
you. I'd be betraying God.

And I'm done with that life.

Enough, Paulina.
Let's just go.

She should clean herself up.

Wow.

Come on, Abby. We all
knew this about you.

Knew what?

I know exactly why
you left Martin's.

You've got a little
bit of a reputation

and you thought putting out

would get you
something, didn't you?

I don't know what you
think you know about me

and I don't care.

Reputations, they die.

And that Abby, that
existed six years ago

and even months ago, she's dead.

I'm done with this.

Whoa, whoa, Abby.

You have the worst timing.

What are you doing here?

Um, I had a
meeting with someone.

With who?

You know what? I
don't even care.

Abby, what's going
on? Are you okay?

I need to get out of here.

I am sick and tired
of corporate America.

I'm just a woman
trying to do her job.

Is it like this for every
woman, or is it just me?

I think it's just me.

- What are you talking about?
- I'm talking about

dirty, disgusting, sleazy men

thinking that I would
do anything just
to get a promotion.

Did someone do
something to you?

You wouldn't understand, Ryan.

Who is it? Who is it, Abby?

You wouldn't understand.

Abby, tell me.

My boss's boyfriend,
or whatever.

I don't even know
what to call him.

Hey, Abby, what did he do?

I'm fine.

It's actually funny
when you think about it.

- Funny?
- Yeah.

I'm pretty sure that
I lost my job today.

But you know what? It's
okay, I'm okay with it.

Things would've
been quite different

years ago, even months ago,

I was the woman that did
everything for her job.

It was my career
first, my job first.

Everything fell behind.

Career before family,
career before friends.

It came before anything
else in my life.

It really gave me an identity.

And I lived my life
like I owed everything

to my career.

I wasn't sure about
the pregnancy,

whether or not I
would keep the baby.

I already had a baby,
it was my career.

And that would make me
money, not take it from me.

How was I supposed
to get respect

and status with a kid on my own?

So I, I decided to end it.

And it made me feel so relieved.

Trust me.

I know what it's
like to have regrets

to look back and know

you should have done
things differently

to um, to have made
the wrong choice.

- How would you know?
- Oh, here we go again.

You're a man. You're white.

So?

So does that mean because
I'm different than you

I, I can't understand at all
what you're going through?

I mean, this is about more
than just Black and white.

There's more going on here
that you don't know about.

You need,

you can't even see it.

I care about you, Abby, a lot.

I'm sorry you're
going through this.

Here.

Listen babe, I'm so sorry

that you had to go
through all that.

Like, I just never
in a million years

thought that something like
that would happen to you.

But she does have a history

for that sort of
thing, doesn't she?

And, and, and for her to think

that she could get
one over on you,

Abby's behavior is just
completely outta line.

Paulina, honey, you haven't
said more than three words.

Talk to me.

Would it be weird if I
ask you to pray with me?

A little bit, but I will.

Lord, thank You for Your,
Your care, Your provision.

I'm sorry.

Hello, this is Abby

Mensah, first thing tomorrow,
my office, we need to talk.

Paulina, weren't you in
that same spot originally

when you came to this company?

Yes, I was.

I just, I am saying,
let's be careful.

Good morning, Sharon
said I could come in.

Morning, Mensah, have a seat.

I called you in here
for a reason today.

Paulina has already clued me
in on to how you're doing.

So you don't really have
anything to explain.

I hold my employees to
a very high standard.

I can't be everywhere
all at once.

So I trust a few of
my executives to be
my eyes and ears.

So when Paulina spoke of
you, it drew my interest.

And Paulina, she
may be many things

but a liar, she's not, mm.

And at this point, I can't
afford to have people on my team

that aren't on the same page.

The housing market is
on unstable ground,

and there are
rumors and whispers

of the interest rate
going through the roof.

Just as you predicted.

Mensah, I wanna thank you
for your recommendations.

We are acquiring
all existing shares

of Dobney Capital as we speak

- Dobney?
- Yes.

And I want you to lead it.

- What?
- Sir, you have a call.

I'm, I'm in the
middle of something.

He says he's FBI.

Gimme five seconds and
put him through, get out.

- Well, Abby, wait-
- You know what?

I don't really know what kind
of hazing is going on here,

but he needs to stop.

Look, this was a surprise
for me too. I, I had no idea.

He's now giving you more
pertinent information

than he's given anybody.

And that's a big deal,
despite your shortcomings.

Abby, look, I know
it wasn't you.

Paulina, I, I'm really sorry.

Truly I am. I I
tried to tell you.

Oh God.

And is that supposed
to make me feel better?

Maybe.

You know, in that book
that you keep reading.

You mean the Bible?

Is there anything in
there about breaking up?

- Well-
- No,

I'm just kidding. I don't care.

You know, I always make
my own rules anyway.

Oh my.

Jonathan?

It looks like someone
robbed the place.

Jonathan, are you here?

- What do you want, Trish?
- I just came to get my stuff.

I have to get back
in 20 minutes.

You lucky you made it
in time. I sold the house.

What? Why?

You never said anything
about selling the house.

I don't have to
tell you anything.

I had to make up for what
you couldn't give me.

Are you being serious?

You're still on this
money making scheme.

Yes, I'm still on that scheme.

Jonathan, if it's forcing
you to sell your house,

it can't be that good.

Why can't you see that?
- And why can't you see

that great reward
requires great risk?

This world isn't run by
people who stay safe.

Just look at yourself.

Yeah, me, the girl who
has a job and a house.

Jonathan, what do you have?

The opportunity of a lifetime.

Please don't do
this to yourself.

Trish, you obviously
aren't here to help me.

And as a matter of fact,
you're getting in my way.

You are not a part of my
life. So stop acting like it.

I'm leaving.

Take your stuff or it's
going in the trash.

Yeah, just confirming the meet.

Dobney? Yeah, I'm
familiar with it.

2:00 PM, got it.

This Elder guy,
why do we care?

He seems pretty low level to me.

We want to kill two birds
with one stone, Williams.

You got
something on this guy?

Oh, he is got
something on him, all right.

Oh, I see, you're trying
to eliminate the competition.

Yeah, just focus.
All right, both of you.

I got
my mind on the prize

trying to focus on a
major players here.

Right, I'm betting
the rest of the board

will feel the heat show
their faces eventually.

I need three copies of every
signature form in that file.

Are you okay?

I'm waiting for an executive

from Sullivan and
Associates today.

So just let, let me know
when they arrive, okay?

Will do. Things have been
pretty crazy around here lately.

- What are you talking about?
- It's just

that Dave seems
a little stressed

and the board keeps having
more board meetings.

And even you have been
busier than usual.

Okay, well, how is that
unusual? It's a merger.

Of course, we're all
gonna be a little on edge.

Okay, right. You're right.

I just,

Dobney Capital.

Hi Dave. Yep, she's
right here, actually.

Dave?

Yes, I know. I am waiting
for him right now.

Yep, I've got all the
accounts ready and filed

and, and we're set
for the transfer.

No, no, no, I didn't, um.

You, you want me to sign?
Okay, sign on your behalf?

Oh, okay.

Can I get those copies?

Do not be anxious
about anything

but with prayer and
supplication, with thanksgiving.

Make your request
be known to God.

Don't look at me like that.

I mean, since you
insist on saying no,

did you really expect
me to lose Paulina too?

Let me make it easy for you.

Paulina.

How long have you
been standing there?

Long enough.

Card.

Food.

Now turn around,
exit. You're fired.

Abby

Well, now that you're
Pharon's, right hand woman,

may I ask one favor?

Will you please get
me an assigned parking
space for my car?

- You got it.
- Thank you.

Abby?

Trisha.

What are you doing here?

You're not here to get
your job back, right?

I wouldn't if I were you.

Why not?

Something's going on.

I don't know what it is, but-

Look who it is.

- I need to speak with you.
- We're not hiring.

- I'm not here for the job, I-
- Look, Abby.

I don't care. You
would, excuse me.

I'm expecting an executive
from Sullivan and Associates

if you would get
him on the phone.

That's his number.

Hello. Care to
meet with me now?

Mr. Elder. We'll
finally make this happen.

Man, I am ready.

You have the investments?

- It's all here.
- I
had to pull some strings.

I got creative.

It does not matter
as long as you have it

we're good to go.

- All right.
- Follow me.

You only gave me
the routing number.

So what's the account number?

735 648 210. It's offshore.

Going on a vacation, are you?

I need to see the world

now it's probably a
good time to do it.

I guess you don't wanna be

anywhere near here
when the market blows.

Exactly. Just getting
my money and getting out.

Did you tell anyone
else about this?

No one important.

I I told you
not to say a word.

It's just a girl.

I tried to get her to go
in with me, but she folded.

She doesn't have anyone to tell.

You sure about that?

Listen man, she's
financially illiterate.

If I told her what I was
doing, insider trading

with Corral Investments,
she'd have no clue.

Is that what you
think is going on here?

Well, I think, but
that's what you told me.

That's the plan you showed me.

Well, that's
what we agreed to,

but that's not what's going on.

- What's that?
- A wire.

A wire?

Hey, what are you doing man?

I'm doing my job.

My name's Tim McCollaugh, FBI.

Jonathan Elder, you
are you under arrest

for conspiracy to commit fraud.

I guess I should be surprised

that you're here, but I'm not.

I'm surprised.

If I'd known you'd become

the executive of one of
our competitors, I guess I-

Well, you didn't and
it doesn't really matter.

So you just came
here to be cruel.

No, I came here to
initiate the acquisition

and secure Sullivan's assets.

I thought you were aware, Lynn.

I guess I did you a favor.

You did yourself a favor. You
are now Dave's one and only.

And yet here I am
selling the company to you.

I feel like I'm selling myself.

- You're gonna keep your job.
- Oh, please.

And we both know that
there's more on the line

than just the acquisition.

There's more on the
line for all of us.

I'm doing my best
to keep us afloat

and I'll continue to do my best.

Please need your signature.

The account information
is all there.

I've marked where
you need to sign.

You should have
everything you need.

I quit.

Pass it along to Dave, will you?

Abby?

It didn't work out with him.

You know,

I forgive you, Trisha.

Abby, honestly, I
don't know what to say.

Congrats on your promotion.

- Thanks.
- You look great though.

You probably have
someone new, right?

Those days are over.

Things can't be the same.

I hope you understand that.

I'll see you around.

Ryan?
- No, Williams is right here

he's escorting the suspect out.

Sanders was your target Kramer.

I need everyone looking
for Lynn Sanders right now.

She's about five, three
dark hair, medium build.

Abby, isn't
that your fiance?

Ryan?

It's Tim Mccollaugh, FBI.

- It was you?
- Actually, it was Abby.

Me? I, your name is Tim?

Her submissions
tipped us off last year.

Those tainted filings
triggered us into action.

Thank you.

I'm taking you in for
further questioning,

I'll take it from here.

You have the right to remain
silent, anything you say

can and will be used against
you in the court of law.

Ryan? Tim, whatever
your name is.

What did I just walk into?

What are you doing here?

You could have
ruined everything.

You're supposed to be at work.
- I am, this is my work.

I'm in charge of
Sullivan's acquisition now.

Tim.

That wasn't part of the plan.

Pharon, Pharon didn't tell
me you were part of the plan.

Pharon? You had
a plan with Pharon?

And Jonathan, why is
Jonathan getting arrested?

Jonathan is another story.

Another story you're going
to tell me another day, right?

You know, you should thank
God you got fired that day.

Tim, you hid this
from me the whole time.

I'm sorry I couldn't reveal
details about my work to you.

But Pharon, Jonathan,
that's my life.

I'm sorry, but I had
to do what I had to do.

Surely you can understand.

Look, Dave's still on the run.

I got a lot of
loose ends to tie up

and a whole bunch
of paperwork to do.

So I'll tell you
everything later, okay?

Everything, everything, right?

Deal.

Hi, what are you doing here?

We needed to see you.

Hi Benny.

Benny needs to
give you something.

- This belongs to you.
- Oh.

How did you get my, how
did you find my home?

Miss Abby, it's a small world.

We'll be seeing you later.

- Abby, hey.
- Hey.

Do you remember this necklace?

Yeah, crown of thorns,
I thought you lost it.

That little girl, Benny,
she just gave it to me.

What, what little girl?

The, the little
girl over there

with the homeless looking man.

The little girl walking
next to the man looks,

Benny.
- Who's Benny?

Abby, you feeling okay? There's,
there's no one here but us.

They literally
just walked by you.

She, she just handed
this to me, I, I.

You need food,
that's what you need.

You're stressed
out. You're hungry.

You need something
to eat. Come on.

- Okay.
- I'm gonna take you to Tacos.
