(upbeat hip-hop music)

- Wait, wait, wait, wait.

I love you.

No, please, please.

(upbeat hip-hop music)

(audience applauding)

- Thank you.

Thank you.

On behalf of everyone at Iron Fire and IT Nation,

we would love to welcome you to a very exciting conference.

(audience applauding and cheering)

- We can't wait to share with you

what we believe will be the next big wave

of computer chip development.

So our only requirement is that you all have a great time

and if you have any questions,

don't hesitate to find me on the floor.

(audience applauding and cheering)

Have fun, have fun.

- Another great turnout, kid.

- Thank you.

- You keep this up

and I'm gonna have to look out for my job.

- Mrs. Weinstein, I'd like to introduce you

to the brains behind all of this

and one of the brightest minds our company has to offer,

Ms. Krystal Dunbar.

- It's nice to finally meet you, young lady.

I've heard quite a bit about you.

- It's my pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Weinstein.

I'm just hoping that I can pass the torch forward

for us women in the tech space.

- Well, it looks to me like you're already doing that

and then some, we have to set some time aside to talk.

And don't worry, Ted, I won't steal her from you.

At least not yet.

However, I do think she'd make a perfect match

for our merger up north.

- I'm glad to see we're on the same page.

- I'm so sorry to interrupt.

But they need your assistance in the back

with the VR setup.

- No worries.

We'll let you both get back to work

and I will catch up with you later.

- Again, it's so nice to meet you and we'll talk soon.

- Do you know anything about a merger?

- No, I don't.

Doesn't mean it's not happening though.

Why do you ask?

- No reason.

(gentle music)

- See, this is why you don't have a chance in hell

of beating out my girl Krystal,

for the Astro Vision account presentation,

my girl is all work and no play.

And that's probably why you can't find a good man either.

(all laughing)

- Exactly.

- Uh-uh, both of you need to shut up.

It's obvious that none of us can get a good guy

because just like unicorns, those bastards don't exist.

- Ooh.

- Wait, I have a man and a good one at that.

- Oh, don't even talk.

We are talking about real people here, Daneo.

Now not your fake ass, long-distance internet romance.

- Yeah.

How do you know you're not getting catfished or some shit?

You have gotta be careful

when you're doing that internet dating shit,

especially nowadays.

Come on.

- Hello?

- [Audrey] Hi

- Earth to Krystal.

- Oh hey.

Yeah, what you were saying.

- About what?

- About the internet and stuff?

- Yeah.

Okay.

We are about to hit the bar downstairs if you're interested.

You know, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

- Yeah, well, all that extra work that Jacqueline put in

got her the promotion that Jack wanted.

- Ooh.

- Oh damn.

- Okay.

- Am I sizzling?

I feel burned.

- But really, guys, I'm sorry.

I would love to, but I'm gonna have to respectfully pass.

- Fine.

Let's go, guys.

You know where to find us if you decide

to actually have a life and live a little.

- I see you boss bitch.

But I do wanna have that drink.

- Yeah, you owe us.

- Okay, okay.

- Alright, let's go.

- [Krystal's Friend] Last one the the bar's

gotta decode my server.

- [Krystal's Friend 2] Alright.

(upbeat music)

(all chattering)

- Hey, this on me, alright.

Bring it in everybody.

(all cheering)

- [Krystal] Why do you keep doing this to yourself?

You knew this was a bad idea from the get-go,

yet, here you are.

(playful music)

(Krystal's date groaning)

(playful music)

(Krystal's date groaning)

Please God, just shoot me now.

- So you wanna split an appetizer or something?

I heard this place is known for their jalapeno poppers.

- That's great.

I mean, is anyone even gonna come take our order?

Should I send up smoke signals or something?

(Krystal's date laughing)

- Oh, I'm sure someone, they'll, yeah,

they'll come by when they can.

- Yeah.

(playful music)

Yeah, yeah.

If you'll excuse me.

I have to use the ladies room.

- Oh, excuse.

Oh my-

(somber music)

- I swear to God, I'm done with all of this dating shit,

and excuse me, God, but bitch, you know what I mean.

(somber music)

You deserve better than this.

Better than this.

God made you.

You're special.

You're beautiful.

Beautiful.

You're beautiful.

I see you.

I see you, bitch.

- Well, hi there, pretty lady.

What can I get for you?

- I don't even know.

- That kind of night, huh?

I have something that'll put a smile on your face.

Sit tight.

- It's a shame how clueless they can all be.

Huh?

Sorry, I didn't mean to ear hustle on your conversation,

besides, I'm sure it's not even that bad.

- Yeah, it is.

- I'm Zoe.

- Krystal.

It's very nice to meet you, Zoe.

- See there?

I told you you'd make friends in no time.

Here you go, hun.

My girl Zoe here, she's new in town

and she hasn't made a whole lot of friends yet.

But I can see the two of you are already hitting it off.

- I met some cool people at the Iron Fire conference today,

so you know baby steps.

- Excuse me, ladies.

You two should exchange phone numbers.

- You were at the Iron Fire conference today?

- I was checking out some of the new tech

that they have coming out.

Why?

Were you there?

- Yeah, but not as an attendee.

I was working in the conference.

- Okay, how did you do?

- Okay, what I meant to say is

I work for Iron Fire Technologies

and I was kind of in charge of putting on the conference.

- Oh, well, hey, I'm impressed.

It was a great event.

There's so much cool tech coming out lately.

It's really exciting.

I'm kind of a nerd at heart.

- What do you do?

If you don't mind me asking.

- I'm more on the IT side,

but I have a small passion for programming.

Very cool.

(upbeat music)

- I don't mean to be rude, but I should probably get back.

- Oh yeah, no problem.

I understand.

It was a pleasure to meet you.

- Nice meeting you too.

- Oh, you know, let me give you my card

and then if you have any IT concerns, gimme a call.

I'll make sure you get the best deal in town.

- Well, here is my card as well.

You should gimme a call sometime.

I'd love to have an entire review of the conference

overall.

- I would love to give you my feedback.

(upbeat music)

You take care now.

(playful music)

- Sorry it took so long.

Got the bar.

Ah, just thirsty.

- Well, it's no problem at all.

- Great.

- The bread's good.

(playful music)

- Guys, this is not what I asked for.

I don't know where the ball was dropped,

but these are gonna have to be completely redone.

You guys are in for a long week

because we have to start back at square one.

(dramatic music)

(door creaking)

(crickets chirping)

(police siren blaring)

(gentle music)

- [Narrator] Hiring, aren't you tired of hoping

the right candidates see your job post online?

It's like trying to find a meal in a haystack.

That's why you should try Zipper-

- Hello?

- Hey, it's Zoe.

We met the other night.

- Yeah, at the bar, I remember.

- I hope I'm not disturbing you.

- No, no.

I am actually still at the office.

- I'm impressed.

- Don't be.

I'm an admitted workaholic.

- And that's a bad thing because?

- Ask James that question.

- James, is that your boyfriend or husband?

- No, James is my roommate.

Check your phone.

- Oh my god, girl.

He's adorable.

- I know.

That's my man, James Dean.

I call him JD for short.

- Oh.

So are you calling to give me the review of the conference?

- Yes, that's exactly why I'm calling

at 11 o'clock at night.

No, I couldn't sleep.

I can be a bit of a workaholic myself.

And I saw your card

and I thought maybe somebody else out there

could possibly relate.

- Spoken like a true night owl.

- See, you get me.

- I can't tell you how many times

that I've seen the sun go up before I close my eyes.

- Girl, you and me both.

- You know, I've come to accept

that we're just a different breed.

Not better, not worse, just different.

- Well said.

(dramatic music)

So when do I get to meet the little cutie pie in person?

- That's a tough one.

Not really sure.

- Fair enough.

Well, I won't pressure you to meet Mr. Dean,

but I would like to buy you a drink.

I don't know that many people in town yet

and you seemed like someone I should try to get to know.

- Well, thank you for the kind words.

It's just my schedule's, it's so-

Okay, you know what?

- [Zoe] What?

How about Friday?

- Friday?

Friday works for me.

Friday's great.

- Great.

I'll send you a few places

and we can decide where to meet from there.

- I am locking it into my calendar as we speak.

- Awesome.

Well, let me get some work done

so I can get home actually sometime tonight.

- I love the dedication.

Do your thing, lady.

And I look forward to seeing you on Friday.

- Thank you so much.

Have a good night, beautiful.

(crickets chirping)

(upbeat hip-hop music)

(door creaking)

(upbeat hip-hop music)

(Zoe and Krystal laughing)

Hopeless romantic, introvert with anime tendencies,

lover of all things travel, non-traditional

and tender with a touch of trashy.

- Oh wait, that's your dating profile?

- Why is that so hard to believe?

Hell, you have one.

- Yeah, but I don't look like you.

- What do you mean by that?

- Come on, extremely attractive.

Good head on your shoulders.

I can see why a lot of men would be interested in you.

- Well, I think you must be extremely drunk

to think I'm extremely attractive,

but a bitch will take what she can get.

So thank you.

- No, no, no, no, no, no, honey, uh-uh.

Don't do that.

- Do what?

- Take what you can get.

Not when you look like you.

You can have it all.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

And what if I want you?

Is that something I can have?

Check, please.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music)

(James Dean crying)

(birds chirping)

(door slamming)

(water running)

(gentle music)

(cellphone ringing)

- Hello?

- Now that's a voice I could get used to waking up to.

- You are such a fool.

- How you doing?

- I'm good.

I'm good.

- Yeah.

Well, say it three times and maybe you'll believe it.

- I know, right?

I mean, I'm caught up with work.

I have this damn presentation.

But aside from that, I mean, listen,

I'm not complaining, I'm venting.

- No need to apologize.

Hell, your boss should be apologizing to you

for making you work on the weekend.

I bet you he's not in front of his computer right now.

- I mean that is true,

but that doesn't really change my present situation, so.

- Well, let me change your present situation

and come have lunch with me.

- I mean, as much as I'd love to,

I just, I have a lot of work to do today.

- I promise you that work will still be there

when you can get back.

So today, let's just be kids and play.

(Zoe giggling)

So if your parents will allow you to come out

and play with me today, I'll remind you

what it's like to have some fun.

- Okay.

Well, let me ask my mom first and see what she has to say.

- Okay, I'll Hold on.

(gentle music)

- Yeah, my mom said it's fine, but I do have to be back

before the street lights come on.

- No problem.

- Okay, I'll talk to you soon.

Bye.

(dramatic music)

- Oh hey, you're up.

Made you some coffee.

(ominous music)

- What are you doing?

I'm getting ready for work,

but I am not done playing with you yet.

(ominous music)

Come here.

(ominous music)

- Hey.

Really?

- I don't think I'd like this.

- Like what?

- You always leaving after we have sex?

- It's not like that Zoe.

- It sure feels like it.

- Dammit, Zoe, you knew what this was from the get-go.

- Don't tell me what I know and what I don't know.

And what the fuck do you mean, what this was?

- Look, I'm not trying to argue with you,

but I was clear about my schedule

and I've been putting out fires all morning at work

because of you.

- Because of me.

- Yeah.

Because I had a presentation this afternoon

and the final designs aren't even finished yet.

(ominous music)

You know what, it's not your fault.

It's mine forever letting you distract me.

- So that's what I've been to you all this time,

just a fucking distraction.

You know what?

Get your shit and get the fuck outta my house.

I don't need you here.

- Alright, fine.

If that's how you want this to be, fine bitch.

(door slamming)

(birds chirping)

- Please, please don't leave.

Not like this.

I'm so sorry for taking you away from your work.

It's just that I haven't felt this way about anyone

in a really long time

and I don't wanna see you walk out that door.

Especially mad at me.

(dramatic music)

I'm sorry, babe.

Can you please forgive me?

- I'm sorry too

You are not a distraction.

And I didn't mean to blame you for my lack of focus.

(intense music)

- [Zoe] I'm so sorry.

Do you forgive me?

- Of course.

- Please forgive me.

- Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Zoe.

What the fuck?

What the fuck, Zoe?

- [Zoe] I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm, I just, I don't know what I was thinking.

- Zoe, why?

Why would you do this?

- I'm sorry.

- Oh my God.

Please don't die on me.

(intense music)

- Are you still mad at me?

- Zoe, what the fuck?

- Are you mad at me still?

(intense music)

(cellphone ringing)

- Hello?

- Hey, how are you doing?

- Krystal?

Is everything all right?

Are you okay?

What's going on?

- Oh yeah, I'm good.

I'm good.

Listen, I'm gonna need you to postpone

this afternoon's meeting to tomorrow.

- Okay.

Is everything all right?

- [Krystal] Yeah.

Just fighting a small cold.

- [Assistant] Okay.

You had me worried there for a minute.

I was going to start calling hospitals and jails.

- [Krystal] Hospitals and jails?

- Girl, I didn't know.

You know that I might not be able to get back to anyone.

And then when the design team started to freak out

because they didn't get their final project

and the electronics team said

they were pretty much in the same boat.

Yeah.

I started to freak out.

I'm not gonna lie to you,

But I'm just so glad you're okay.

Now, are you sure Everything's all right?

- [Krystal] Trust me, I'm fine.

Just a small cold.

I've already taken something

and I'll be better in the morning.

- Alright.

- Well, it looks like the next time everyone is available

won't be until Friday afternoon.

- [Krystal] That's perfect, actually,

that gives me more time to finish everything.

- [Assistant] Perfect.

On it.

Do you need help with anything?

- No, I'm good.

I'm gonna finish up the designs tomorrow and send them off.

So everyone should be good in the morning.

Just let them all know about the reschedule.

- I'm on it.

And you really should get some rest.

I don't know how you're gonna get any better

without any rest, but that's on you.

See ya.

(dramatic music)

(birds chirping)

(upbeat music)

- There she is.

How are you feeling?

- Better.

Thank you for taking such good care of me.

I feel so embarrassed.

- No, no, don't be.

I'm just glad that I was here to take care of you.

Are you sure you're gonna be okay?

You know by yourself?

- Yes.

- And you are gonna go to the doctor's appointment

that I scheduled you?

- Yes.

- Promise.

- I promise.

- Because I need to go to the office

to make sure that I still even have a job.

I'm kidding.

My job is secure.

Let me get out of here and I'll check up on you later.

Okay?

Love you.

And let me know if you need anything, okay.

- Thank you so much for everything.

- [Krystal] Of course.

No need to thank me.

Get some rest.

Bye, beautiful.

- Bye.

- [Zoe] Well, how's your team going?

- [Daneo] Actually, yeah, we're gonna go out

for drinks later.

- Yeah.

I'm still jealous that you stole Evan,

but hey, that's okay.

- You have options.

- We're still all your people.

- You have options, it's okay.

- Yeah.

Yeah.

'Cause now I have an extra position,

but I think I'm gonna get it across the finish line.

- Okay.

- Yeah, I'm excited.

(cellphone ringing)

(gentle music)

(birds chirping)

(cellphone ringing)

- As far as this weekend though, are you gonna get out

and come out with us?

- I don't know.

I don't know.

- You don't know?

- No.

- Oh my gosh.

It's always, I don't know.

I have work because I actually care about it.

- Work takes up like a hundred percent of your day.

(cellphone ringing)

(dramatic music)

(birds chirping)

(crickets chirping)

(cellphone vibrating)

(dramatic music)

(cellphone ringing)

(cellphone vibrating)

(cellphone ringing)

(birds chirping)

(gentle music)

(cellphone keys beeping)

(cellphone ringing)

- So that leads me to believe

that there has to be an overheating issue.

Would you two mind teaming up on that to solve that?

And aside from that, we do have a two-day timeline

for this delivery.

So we're going to need to expedite.

- Sorry to interrupt.

Hey, you have an urgent call for you on line one, okay?

- Oh, okay.

Well, in that case, I believe that that wraps this up,

ladies and gents, thank you so much for your hard work.

Come on.

Yes, thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

And don't forget, deadline is two-days.

Thanks, guys.

(gentle music)

Krystal speaking.

- Finally.

I thought I was gonna have to start

sending up smoke signals.

(Zoe giggling)

- So how have you been?

- I've been good.

Hella busy, but good.

- Yeah.

Well, that explains why I haven't heard from you.

Kind of figured.

- Well, what about you?

How have you been?

- I'm doing well.

Also busy with work.

Not as busy as you, of course.

I don't think anyone on the face of the earth

is as busy as you are.

- I know, right?

Look, I'm about to get into another meeting.

So is there anything in particular

that you were calling about?

- Well, I was just wondering when I can see you again.

- Really?

That's the urgent matter that you called to discuss.

- Well, you can't blame a girl for trying.

(ominous music)

Besides, I hate being ignored.

So when are you available?

- Look, that's a tough one.

I don't have my schedule in front of me

and right now it has more control over me than I do of it.

- What's so tough about it?

Just pick a date.

Any date.

- Listen, I'm not trying to be rude, but I told you

that I don't have my schedule in front of me,

and that I have an urgent meeting that I'm stepping into.

So we're gonna have to do this another time.

- Okay.

When?

- I'll call you.

- Promise?

- Yeah, I promise.

I gotta go.

- Okay.

'Cause I was thinking that we-

Nevermind then.

(crickets chirping)

(cellphone ringing)

- Bitch, why are you screening your calls at work?

- Well, hello to you too, sis.

- I'm just kidding.

But look, you are hard one to reach lately.

- Well, I didn't realize that my assistant

was actually not passing through all your calls.

I'm gonna have to give her a raise.

- Very funny.

- I just need to dial in, at least,

until I get my presentation across the finish time.

- You sound a little stressed.

Everything okay?

How's work?

- Please, work is about the only good thing

in my life right now.

- Now why you say that?

- It's a long story.

- Well, give a bitch the cliff notes version.

- Okay.

Girl meets girl, girl falls for girl.

But then girl does some crazy ass shit.

So girl loses girl.

- Is that all?

I mean, hell, I thought it was something serious

instead of another one of your relationships.

- I am not in a relationship.

- Girl, I know, ain't that much special in the world.

- Hey, that's just cold.

- No, that's just your sister.

How's everything going with your presentation?

Wait, did you give it already?

- No, it got pushed to tomorrow.

- Oh shit.

You ready?

I mean, knowing your ass, I know you more than ready.

- I'm gonna be ready.

- That's what I'm talking about.

Okay, look, I know you are going to wow them

with your presentation.

They gonna offer you the promotion.

You gonna move in with me?

Boom.

Named it, claimed it.

See, you gotta put it out into the universe, girl,

if you want it to happen.

- Wait, you don't want me as a roommate?

- Now why would you say that?

I mean, you are a little junkie,

but that ain't nothing I can't fix.

- Did Mom put you up to this?

- No, she did not.

I mean, I just figured, you know,

you starting out fairly new.

I mean, I'm fairly new to the area.

Why Struggle alone?

We can make it together.

Or at least until you get on your feet.

- That's if I even get this promotion.

- Uh-uh, hold up.

No, ma'am.

That's when you get the promotion.

- Love you, sis,

- I love you back.

Now let me know how everything goes tomorrow

and gimme a call, okay?

- Okay, will do.

- All right.

- Love you.

Bye.

Oh, you did it again, Krystal.

You did it again.

- Thank you.

I could not have done this without your help.

- Bring it here.

Young lady, you are nothing short of amazing.

Now I'm good.

I'm real good.

But you, you are something special.

You and I will be talking soon.

- Thank you.

- Hey, let's have lunch at Fitzpatrick's next week.

Looks like we have a lot to discuss.

- Yes, yes, yes.

Thank you, sir.

- Hey, real talk, that was pretty impressive, girly.

- What?

Oh my God.

Did my boy just give my girl her props?

- No, no.

He tried, but then he misogynised

it by calling her girly.

- Damn.

Just learn how to take a damn compliment.

Okay.

- Learn how to just give one, you dick.

- Exactly.

- Okay.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

That was one hell of a presentation you did, period.

- There we go.

I know what you meant, but that's better.

- Alright, well, come meet us for drinks later,

first rounds on me.

- Okay.

Sounds good.

- Good job.

- Oh, geez.

- I couldn't be more proud of you.

- I couldn't have done this without you, girl.

Oh my God.

- I love you.

- I love you too.

- Oh, here, I'm gonna go freshen up in the restroom.

- Okay, take your time.

(intense music)

- And here she is.

- Oh my God.

What an honor is to finally meet you.

Thank you again for doing that display of creativity

and for what you're doing for women.

- Oh, of course, of course.

It's my honor.

There's still a lot of work to be done, but yes,

- You're welcome, well, I'll leave you two here, okay.

- Yeah, bye.

- What are you doing here?

- I wanted to see you.

Besides, you haven't been answering my calls

so I figured since you couldn't come to me,

I would come to you.

- No, I told you that I keep my work life

and my private life separate.

- Should I not have come?

I told you how I feel about being ignored.

- We can do this but not here.

Let's just go get some coffee.

(intense music)

- This place is so cute.

Thanks.

Thank you so much for taking the time

to have lunch with me today.

- This isn't lunch, Zoe.

Not quite sure what this.

- Well, before you say anything else,

I got you a little something.

- [Krystal] What's this?

- Open it and find out.

I guess you could say it's more like something for us.

I wanna take you on a trip.

It's my little way of saying I'm sorry

and thank you for not giving up on us.

(gentle music)

- That's just it, Zoe.

I don't, I don't think that there is an us.

- What do you mean?

- I just think that where you and I are headed

is in two different directions.

- Well, you don't always need to be going

in the same direction to end up at the same place.

- But you at least need to be on the same page.

And I don't think that we're on the same page

with what we want.

- I, I just want you, nothing more, nothing less.

(dramatic music)

- I want my career and that forces me to give you less.

And that's not fair to either of us.

If it was a different time, under different circumstances,

I would accept in a heartbeat.

But I can only deal with the hand that I was dealt.

(dramatic music)

And it's not like I'm saying fuck off or leave me alone.

I am still a good friend.

That's all I can be right now.

- Well, I won't say that I'm not disappointed

and I'm sure that eventually, I'll be thankful

that you were honest and upfront, but not right now.

- Friends?

- Friends.

(dramatic music)

(crickets chirping)

(somber music)

(somber music)

(crickets chirping)

(upbeat music)

(phone ringing)

(all laughing)

- What the hell is that?

- Oh, that's my landline.

- Your what?

- My house phone.

- Damn girl, you still got one of those?

Uh-uh, how old are these crackers?

- Nice save.

I mean it came with my internet package.

I don't even know the number by heart.

- You ain't gonna answer that?

- Oh, it's nobody.

- Look, don't nobody call your house

unless it's an emergency.

- It's nobody.

Trust me.

- Okay, well look, since it's nobody I'll get it.

(phone ringing)

Hello, Dunbar residence.

Hello?

How can I help you?

Well, look, if you're not gonna say anything.

Hello?

- Girl, hang up the damn phone.

- Okay then.

(crickets chirping)

You were right, it was nobody.

(all laughing)

Pass me the damn tray.

I'm hungry.

I need, I need something.

(all laughing)

(crickets chirping)

(cellphone ringing)

- Hello?

- Who the hell do you think you are?

- What?

Bring the damn music down.

(upbeat music)

(ominous music)

- I said, who in the hell do you think you are?

With your special little friends

and your special little parties.

But when I call, but when I call, but when I call,

it's work, work, work, work, work.

All the fucking time, work.

- It's not like that, Zoe.

I think you need to calm down.

- Don't tell me to calm down.

Don't tell me to calm down.

Do not tell me to calm down.

I told you I would not be ignored.

You told me that we could be friends.

Friends.

- We are friends.

- I don't think you're being a very good friend, Krystal.

Friends don't hurt each other's feelings.

Friends do not exclude each other

and friends damn sure do not ghost each other.

- I'm not trying to deliberately hurt your feelings.

We are friends.

But if you don't wanna be that, then that's fine with me.

- Prove it.

Prove it.

Prove to me that we are friends.

In fact, in fact, in fact, let me come down

to your office tomorrow and you can prove it to me

in front of everybody.

- That is not necessary.

- Why not?

That's the only place I can reach you these days.

What are you afraid?

Afraid.

Afraid of what'll happen if people find out about us?

- No, it's not.

It's none of that.

Look, I told you from the start,

I keep my work life and my private life separate.

You are determined to have the two collide.

We can meet, but not at my job.

- Okay?

Tomorrow at the park, 2:00 PM sharp.

- Fine.

Tomorrow at the park.

Two o'clock sharp.

I'll be there.

(ominous music)

Are we good?

You are not gonna hurt yourself or anything, right?

(Zoe laughing)

- Why would I do a silly thing like that?

(intense music)

- What in the absolute fuck have I gotten myself into?

(intense music)

(birds chirping)

(upbeat music)

- Hey, there you are.

Come here.

Gimme a hug bug.

Look at this wonderful picnic I setup for us today.

- Zoe, this has to stop.

- Stop what?

We haven't even had lunch yet.

- Dammit, Zoe, just stop with all of this.

I have tried to be nice to you.

I have tried to be friends with you,

but you're making it really fucking difficult to do either.

- I don't understand what's wrong.

- That's the problem.

You don't understand what's wrong

with all of this stalking ass behavior.

It's way too much and it's way uncalled for.

Please just do me a favor and get yourself together,

and get a grip on your life.

And leave me the fuck alone.

- Okay.

Hold on, hold on.

Don't go.

I know we can figure this out.

We just need to take a breath, sit down,

and we can discuss things while we eat.

Okay.

- Fuck you and fuck this picnic.

Why are you not understanding me?

- You don't mean that.

I know you don't mean that.

- You are not hearing me.

- Why are you not hearing me?

I just wanna be a part of your life.

I know I don't say or do the right things,

but that's what happens when you're in love.

- In love?

Bitch, you do not need to confuse lust for love.

You do not know me enough to love me.

- I love the parts of you that I do know

and I wanna get to know the parts that I don't.

- I don't want you to know anything about me.

I don't love you.

- You are making it really hard for me to even like you.

- Well, then, leave, you stupid cunt.

Stop wasting my fucking time.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean that.

Krystal, come back.

I can change.

I promise I can change.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Shit.

Oh, that little bitch done fucked

with the wrong one this time,

I'm gonna show her who she's dealing with.

I am done playing fucking nice.

(ominous music)

(ducks quacking)

(gentle music)

- She was easy on the eyes to say the least.

But it wasn't just the way that I looked at her.

It's the way she looked at me.

She made me feel seen, and wanted, and desired.

And when things were good, they were really good.

But when things go bad.

- [Both] They go bad quickly.

- Yeah.

Honey, I have been down that road too many times to count.

Honestly, I don't know how you youngsters make it out here

with all these damn labels and dating sites,

Match, eharmony, Zoosk, BlackPeopleMeet, SilverSingles,

Christian Mingles, and oh my-

- Girl, damn girl.

- I'm just saying.

- I mean, we didn't even meet on a dating app,

but I don't even think I know half of the ones

you just listed.

- Oh, shut up.

- I think that's what's so confusing about this though,

honestly, I feel like I usually see things like this

coming from a mile away.

(gentle music)

But with her, everything just felt so good.

I didn't even see this bullshit coming.

- Well, it sounds to me like your vajayjay

was doing the thinking.

- Excuse me.

I know you didn't.

- Look, I'm just trying to lighten the mood.

I mean, you seem so stressed out.

I've never seen you like this before.

- I mean, honestly, she's starting to scare me a little

bit.

- Now, wait a minute.

If fools have gotten to that level.

- I mean, come on.

She showed up at my job, plus all the damn missed calls.

I just don't know what she's going to do next.

- Is that who called your house the other night

and didn't say anything?

I think so.

I tried to break things off with her,

but she just keeps looking for ways to come back.

- I mean, you do have a tendency of being a little too nice.

- So now this is my fault.

- No, no, I'm not saying that at all.

I'm just saying sometimes you gotta get your point across.

Sometimes you gotta be a bitch

and that's not where you start.

But that's when you finish.

- So what do you suggest I do?

Because I honestly just want all of this to end

before it gets any worse.

- And getting worse is not even an option.

Look, first things first,

you gotta completely ghost this bitch.

I mean, change all your numbers, delete your social media

at least for a little while.

Just go completely off the grid.

But she's gonna get upset.

- She's already upset.

- Good.

She'll get a dose of reality

and she'll have no choice but to move on.

(gentle music)

(Krystal giggling)

What is so funny?

- Literally, the day I met Zoe,

I said that I was done with all of this dating shit.

- Whoop.

See what happens when you don't trust your gut.

- So fucking stupid.

But never a fucking again.

Fuck that bitch.

- Team fuck this bitch.

(both laughing)

Cheers.

- [Krystal] Cheers.

(both laughing)

(crickets chirping)

(gentle music)

(ominous music)

- Oh, how do you have nothing here?

(ominous music)

What the fuck?

No, I'm not buying it.

(ominous music)

(police siren blaring)

- Here's the papers you wanted.

- Oh, thanks, Mark.

I appreciate it.

- Have a good one.

- Alright, now.

- Lots.

- What's going on?

- Bro, I done told you to stay off that crack, man.

- You know how to spell it?

- As tired as I am, I can't even spell my last name.

- Yeah.

Okay.

(cellphone ringing)

- Detective Billups here.

- Boy, quit trying to show off.

- Well, I must say this is a welcomed blast from the past.

How the hell have you been?

- Well, you know me more good than bad, so I won't complain.

- And if I remember correctly, more fly than not,

I'm sure you still looking good girl.

- Now you know I'm gonna keep it

where it's supposed to be kept.

So ain't nothing changed about that.

- I see you're still a damn fool too.

Now what do I owe the pleasure of this call?

Or in other words, what did you do now?

- Now see, I would be offended

if you didn't know me so damn well.

But today's call isn't about me.

It's actually about my sister.

- Krystal?

How the hell is little thick hair doing these days?

- She's been better to say the least.

- Well, what can I do to help?

- Can you look into someone for me?

- A Zoe Kendricks.

I did my own search, but I didn't find anything.

- That's usually a good sign

that there isn't much to find, right?

- Yeah.

But this doesn't feel right.

It's almost like I found too little information,

if you know what I mean.

- Okay.

- I don't know.

And look, I could be completely overreacting.

I just know that my sister is really shook.

I mean, she's had her fair share of assholes.

I mean, like we all have,

but I would just rather err on the side of caution.

- Look, I hear you loud and clear,

now I can't make any promises,

but send me any information that you have

and I'll take a look at it when I get a minute.

Would that put your mind at ease?

- 100%.

And Winston, thank you.

Thank you for just being you.

- Only way I know how to be, young lady.

You take care now.

And I'll talk to you soon.

(gentle music)

- That better have been your wife.

- That's my mistress.

(gentle music)

(suspenseful music)

- [Automated Voice 2] We're sorry,

the number you have reached is not in service.

- What the fuck?

Hang on.

(suspenseful music)

- [Automated Voice 2] We're sorry,

the number you have reached-

- What the fuck?

- [Automated Voice 2] We're sorry,

the number you have reached is not-

- What the fuck?

- [Automated Voice 2] We're sorry,

the number you have reached is not in service.

Please check the number or try your call again.

This is a recording.

- I know she did not.

- [Automated Voice 2] We're sorry,

the number you have reached is not in service.

- Oh my God.

- [Automated Voice 2] We're sorry,

the number you have reached-

- Fuck.

Shit, fuck.

(Zoe crying)

(both laughing)

- Oh my God.

- I'm so sorry, honey.

(ominous music)

(car door slams)

- [Zoe] Something funny?

- You are gonna get your milkshake

off my fucking car bitch.

Ill show you funny, you fucking bitch.

(suspenseful music)

(upbeat music)

- Hey, just wanna give you a heads up

that your lunch with boss man Teagues

is still on for two o'clock.

- Okay, thanks love.

(upbeat music)

Anything else?

- Do you know what time it is?

- Oh shit, oh shit.

- [Assistant] Yeah.

- Oh shit.

Okay.

- [Assistant] Come on.

- Do me a favor.

Call Teagues♪♪ and please let him know

that my last meeting ran late.

- [Assistant] You're welcome.

- And I am on my way.

- [Assistant] Got it.

- Alright, here we go.

I'm coming, I'm coming.

(upbeat music)

Ted Teagues table, please.

- Slow down.

Breathe in, breathe out.

There you go, I can't have my divas looking nervous now.

Now who are you here to see again?

- Ted Teagues.

- All right, follow me.

- And ever since I-

- Excuse me, Mr. Teagues, you're guest is here.

Well, here's our rockstar now,

and please let me introduce you to one of your fans.

Krystal Dunbar, Zoe Kendricks.

- Oh my goodness.

What an honor to finally meet the face

behind all the success at Iron Fire Technologies.

- It is a pleasure to meet you, Zoe.

- I have to say your presentation blew me away

at this year's conference.

- Really?

What was your favorite part?

- All of it.

I mean, pretty much after you took the stage,

everything was incredible.

- Zoe works in IT.

- Really?

- Yes.

And I was telling her,

you two should exchange information

since you're going to be relocating

to head up the new division of Astro Fire Incorporated,

you may wanna bring in your own IT team.

Just a suggestion.

- Wait, I got the promotion?

- You don't miss a thing, do you?

- I thought it was still up for debate.

- You ended that discussion with your presentation.

- Thank you, sir.

Oh my God.

I won't, I won't let you down.

- You're relocating.

How cool.

Congratulations.

Yes, do take my card.

And that's really exciting.

- [Krystal] Yeah.

- It's gonna be hard to see her go,

but I'm afraid if she stays any longer

I may be out of a job.

(Zoe laughing)

- Well, I'll get out of your way

and let you continue celebrating.

But yeah, congratulations again.

It was such a pleasure to meet you.

- Yeah, it was a pleasure meeting you too.

- Maybe if I am lucky our paths will cross again.

- Maybe.

Bye-bye now.

- So are you hungry?

Because we have a lot to talk about.

- Am I ever.

- Shall we then?

- Yeah, we shall.

- Were you really gonna leave without so much as a goodbye?

- From the get-go I told you I keep my work life

and my private life separate.

You just crossed the two.

Anything we had is completely fucking done.

- Okay, hold on.

Don't I get a chance to explain myself?

You never call, you changed all your numbers.

You can't just disappear on a person like that.

- Watch me.

- Hey, hold up.

Okay.

See, I know that I have things I need to work on

and I'm better when I'm with you.

Okay, I promise I'll put in the work.

I just, without you, I'm no good.

Okay.

I'm just broken.

- Honey, you were broken long before you met me

and unfortunately, I can't fix you.

- Hold on.

Hold on.

Okay.

See, all I ever wanted was what was best for you.

But you're either too fucking blind

or too stupid to see that.

And you should know by now,

I make a much better friend than I do an enemy.

- Call it whatever you want, you crazy fucking bitch.

Friend or foe.

But if you come around me again, I will fucking kill you.

Are we clear on that?

- Krystal.

(Zoe laughing)

(ominous music)

(all applauding)

(upbeat music)

- Go get 'em, Krystal.

(all applauding)

(suspenseful music)

(air whooshing)

(suspenseful music)

- What the fuck?

What the fuck?

This bitch did not?

Oh, this bitch did not.

Oh my god.

What the fuck?

(suspenseful music)

(ominous music)

(door knocking)

(door creaking)

- You're right on time, my show about to start

and I'm hungry as fuck.

- What are we watching?

- Girl, I done got hooked on "P-Valley",

♪ Down in the delta where the girls get naked ♪

- Okay, bitch.

- Oh, so this is what we're doing now?

(suspenseful music)

Oh, this girl is gonna make me act like a damn fool.

I should just fucking-

(upbeat music)

No, no, no, no, no.

(upbeat music)

No, no, no, no, no.

(upbeat music)

(car engine revving)

(birds chirping)

Good morning, little birdie.

(birds chirping)

(upbeat music)

- Hi.

- Hi, sorry to bother you.

My car is overheating.

I was wondering if I could get a glass of water?

- Sure, girl.

No problem.

Just wait here a second.

I'll be right back.

(suspenseful music)

(door creaking)

(birds chirping)

(gentle music)

(upbeat music)

(ominous music)

(ominous music)

(ominous music)

- That's a good boy, huh JD?

Yeah.

You're such a good boy.

You are such a good boy.

(dog squealing)

(ominous music)

(birds chirping)

(door creaking)

(ominous music)

(water boiling)

(ominous music)

(cellphone ringing)

(suspenseful music)

- Hey girl, everything good?

- No, everything is far from good.

That bitch has been in my house

and no, I'm not calling the police.

- Wait, she broke into your house?

- I mean, she had to have,

somebody left a pot of boiling water on the stove

and it wasn't me.

- She's just fucking with you now.

Look, do what you planned.

Just pack your shit and get the hell up out of there.

You let me know if you need a hand with anything

or if I need to come lay hands.

No, no, it's okay.

I'm good.

I'll be by to see you shortly.

- Krystal, let me know if you need anything.

- Okay.

I love you.

I'll see you soon.

- Bye.

(upbeat music)

(water running)

(ominous music)

(door creaking)

(suspenseful music)

(car engine revving)

(suspenseful music)

(car engine revving)

(suspenseful music)

- Hello, gorgeous.

You know it's funny to think

that after all that has happened between us,

I still find you amazingly attractive.

It doesn't have to be like this,

but it will as long as you continue

to play these fucking games with me.

I never intended for any of this to happen

and I thought I could control it, but I can't.

So I'm forced to hurt the things that you love

until there's nothing left for you to love but me.

- Oh, okay.

Okay, okay.

I think we've heard about enough of this.

I mean, is any of this shit even real?

- What?

Of course, this is real.

JD's fucking dead.

That's real.

And I haven't heard from Daneo in a while.

I don't know what to think.

- Why haven't you taken any of this to the police?

- You know how I feel about the fucking police?

- Oh, I understand that Krystal.

But what fucking option do you have at this point?

And if this bitch is as crazy as she seems,

you do not want to be fucking around with her at all.

- What about Winston?

Can he help?

Come on, he's probably the only one

of those bastards that I do trust.

- We gotta start somewhere sis and fast.

Send me the recording.

I'll forward it to him and see if we can meet.

- Thank you, sis.

I don't know what I'd do without you.

- Look, why don't you go lie down for a bit.

Okay?

I'll cook us something a little later.

Wait, wait, wait.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

It's okay, beautiful.

Oh my God.

Look, you are with me now

and you know your big sis has got you.

- Thank you.

All right.

- Thank you so much for meeting with me today, Winston.

I really appreciate it.

- Hey, not a problem.

You sounded a little stressed on the phone.

What's going on?

- It's Krystal.

Were you able to find out anything

about the girl she's dating?

- To be honest, I haven't really dug that deep into it.

I mean, my hands are full with drug-trafficking,

kidnappings, and a murder.

But hey, I could set all of that aside

just to settle a love spat.

- You may have another murder

and if you keep dragging your ass, my sister could be next.

- You mind telling me what the hell is going on here?

- I think Krystal could be in some serious danger.

And you know how she is about dealing with the cops.

- What kind of danger we talking about here, Kamila?

- The woman I asked you to look into.

Well, she's been stalking her and harassing her, you know?

- Okay.

She's a big girl.

She can handle herself.

- This woman is fucking dangerous.

She broke into her house, she killed her dog,

and I think she may have actually

harmed one of her friends.

- All right, let's hold up.

Do you have any proof of any of this?

I'm just asking.

- You know what?

Just listen for your damn self, here.

- Is this joke?

- Wait, wait, wait, wait.

No, no, no.

- Am I being punked right now?

Is there some cameras or YouTube,

A TikTok video or something?

I mean, there's gotta be some cameras around here

knowing your ass.

- This is not a fucking joke.

This is my sister's life we're talking about here.

- Okay, okay, okay.

Calm down.

Look, I'm sorry, but you gotta look at it

from my side of the fence.

I mean, what would you do if you came to me

with that same type of story and not one ounce of evidence?

What would you do?

- I would fucking believe you.

- Kamila, Kamila.

- [Kamila] Forget it.

- Kamila, Kamila.

(car engine revving)

(gentle music)

(keyboard keys tapping)

(ominous music)

- Son of a bitch.

- [Kamila] What?

What happened?

What's going on?

- I left the file that I need for the budgets

on my desk at work.

What the hell are you cooking?

- [Kamila] You know how I get down in the kitchen.

- Anyways, I'll be back in a few.

- Wait a minute.

Where the hell are you going?

- To work.

I just told you.

Besides the internet is a lot faster there,

so I'll be able to download the things I need in no time.

- Well, do you want me to come with you?

- No.

No, no, no.

I'm good on that.

I promise I will be home in time for dinner.

- Well, look, look, promise, honey,

you will not swing by your place.

- I have no intention of swinging by my old place.

What?

I will pay to have people move my stuff out.

- That's right.

I'll kick in if you need help.

Just do not go back there.

You are here with me now and for however long

you want that to be.

- Sometimes, I swear.

- Sometimes what?

- Sometimes you are an asshole.

Okay?

But sometimes you amaze me when you say shit like that.

(gentle music)

- Well, you just have your big head ass home

in time for dinner.

Ain't nobody gonna be waiting on you all night to eat.

- She's back.

(gentle music)

- I love that old big head ass girl.

(gentle music)

- [Krystal] Ah, there you are, you little bastard.

Okay, this may take a little longer than I thought,

but before I get started, I'm gonna need a cup of coffee.

- Hello?

What?

(ominous music)

- Honey, I knew you were moving up in the world,

but I didn't know it was like this.

Congratulations.

You deserve it.

- Thank you.

- Success looks good on you.

Almost as good as I did once upon a time.

No?

- What the hell are you doing here, Zoe?

- I'm trying, I'm trying to prevent a good thing

from going bad.

I know I fucked up.

We both said things we didn't mean.

I just figured, I hoped that there could still be an us,

that you would let me love you.

It breaks my heart to see what this has come to.

- It was your doing.

You are dead to me.

(ominous music)

- If we can't be lovers and we can't be friends,

what reason is there for you to be at all?

- I would like to see you fucking try bitch.

- See, it's bitches like you who think they're special,

but when the lights come on and it's time for you to shine,

you're all just fucking ordinary.

And it takes an encounter with someone special like me

to remind you just how ordinary you are.

(glass shattering)

Fucking bitch.

Fuck, fucking bitch.

(suspenseful music)

(pan clanging)

(suspenseful music)

Just another ordinary bitch.

I dunno if I wanna fuck you or fight you.

(glass breaking)

(police sirens blaring)

All right, come on.

Let's just get this over with.

- Get what over with?

- Just say it.

- I don't know what you're talking about.

I did tell you, though.

But you can do better.

I told your ass to stop with these crazy ass bitches

in the streets.

- That part.

Alright.

Are we good though?

- We are always good, sis.

Always.

- Thank God you're okay.

Where's the body?

Ladies?

Where's the body?

What the fuck, did I make a mistake here?

What happened?
