(footsteps clicking on the stairs)

(muffled scream)

(deep bass music begins)

(rhythmic music playing)

- A judge has just indicted the police officer

involved in the murder

of unarmed African American teenager, Leon Wright.

- Taylor, I'm about to head to work.

Can you take J.B. for a walk?

- A young college student, Melanie Walker,

from Central University,

her body was found in her car from an overdose.

- I'm leaving, Taylor, please walk J.B.

(rhythmic music continues)

(car engine stutters)

Not today, God, please.

(car engine stutters) Damn it!

Please just start so I can make it to work.

(car engine starts) Thank you.

Swear I need a new car.

(cellphone vibrates)

Hey, Aunt Janae.

- [Janae] Hey sweetheart, just checking on you.

- I'm good, I was having car trouble, but I got it started.

I'm headed to work.

- [Janae] Okay, well, I don't want you too late.

I was just checking on you.

- Thanks Auntie, I gotta go. Love you.

- [Janae] Okay. Love you too.

(guitar music playing)

- Thank you.

Hello, welcome to Mimi's.

Just to let you know,

our Tuesday special are our famous gumbos, they're half off.

- Okay, I'll take the Tuesday special.

- Okay, I'll be right back. - Thank you.

(easy mood music playing)

- Hey, Naomi? Hey, it's slow.

So after this table you can go ahead and clock out.

(easy mood music playing)

- Oh my gosh, Taylor, are you kidding me?

- Naomi, what are you doing here?

- Um, hello, I live here.

And you better not have gotten any of your mess

on this couch.

(door closes)

Really, Taylor?

On our couch?

- I'm sorry, I thought you were still at work.

- I got off early. It was slow.

And besides a customer left a big tip.

- How big? - None of your damn business.

- Why are you still here? - I'm just gonna go.

- I'll see you later, baby. - I'll see you.

- You know, you don't have to be so mean to him.

It's not his fault Ryan cheated.

- Whatever.

He knew what Ryan was doing and he let me look like a fool.

- Okay, Naomi.

Why are you eating cereal?

You didn't bring us back any food?

- Aren't you tired of restaurant food?

- Speak for yourself. I don't get tired of anything free.

So, tell me about this big tip.

Was it from a guy?

- Yeah, he was older though. Like old enough to be our dad.

- Sounds like a potential sugar zaddy to me.

- Okay, now you sound ridiculous.

- What? Don't tell me you haven't thought

about living a rent-free life

where someone spends all their money on you.

Hell, I know I have.

- Okay, and what exactly are you willing to do

for them to spend all that money on you?

You can't get no money without giving up some sugar.

- Hell, I'm already giving it up for free.

- I guess.

(dog moaning)

Please tell me you took J.B. off for a walk.

- No, I was a little occupied.

I'm sorry, I will take him out now.

- No, I'll do it.

Let me find out I can't rely on you to do anything

when Clyde is around.

Come on, J.B. (dog moaning)

(door closes)

(birds chirping)

(tense music begins)

(knocking at the door)

Come in.

- [Taylor] You ready for your interview tomorrow?

- Yeah, hopefully, I get this position

so I can get my foot in the door at this law firm.

- You got this.

- Just don't let me come home to you and Clyde

naked in the living room again.

I still can't get that image out of my head.

- My bad. I will stick to my own bedroom from now on.

- Goodnight, Taylor. - Goodnight, Naomi.

- Okay. Okay, so Monday sounds good?

Yes, ma'am. All right, thank you.

Ah ha. All right, bye-bye.

Good morning. - Hi.

And welcome to St. James and Associates.

Do you have an appointment?

- Yes, I have an appointment scheduled for 9:00 AM.

- Okay. What's your name? - Naomi Anderson.

- I am sorry, we emailed you twice

to confirm your appointment and you never responded.

They don't have you on the schedule for today.

- What, what email? I didn't get an email.

- Yes ma'am, I sent it twice myself.

Maybe check your spam.

- I'm so sorry, I must have missed it.

Is there a way they can reschedule me for today?

- Let me see what I can do.

I'm sorry, we're completely booked for today.

You can submit another request

and we'll have to reschedule you for another day,

if the position isn't already filled.

Okay? - Okay. Thank you.

- Girl, I can't believe I missed that email.

I don't even understand. Why would it go to my spam?

- I'm sorry. I know this sucks.

- There's no way that position will still be available

after all the interviews.

- You never know until you try.

- Yeah, you are right.

(easy mood music playing)

It's him. - Him who?

Don't look. Don't look.

- Can I look now?

- It's the guy who left the $200 tip.

- That's him?

Well, damn, he can definitely be my sugars zaddy.

- Naomi, you have a table.

I don't sit here and pay you to sit down

and eat rice with your friends.

- Girl, you better go get that tip.

- Hello. Welcome back.

- Hey, how you doing, gorgeous?

- Can I start you off with something to drink?

- Sorry, I ain't catch your name?

- It's Naomi. Naomi Anderson.

- Naomi. Charles, Charles St. James.

- St. James? As in St. James and Associates?

- Oh, you heard of me? - Heard of you?

- I literally just had an interview

at your firm this morning.

- Really? How'd it go?

- Well, apparently I didn't confirm my email,

so I never made it to the interview.

- Yeah, I hate those emails. I let 'em go to spam.

Well, if you are interested,

I am looking to hire an executive assistant for myself.

- Really? - Really.

- That was not what you were interviewing for,

but I think you might like it better.

- Mm.

- Tell you what, think about it. Gimme a call.

- Okay, I will. So about that drink?

- Right, right, right.

Take a Sprite with a little ice.

- Okay. Coming right up.

- All right.

(upbeat music playing)

- I beat you that time.

- Girl, please.

Please tell me you're gonna consider taking this position.

- I don't even know what the position is.

- Who cares.

When are you ever gonna get a chance like this again?

Plus that man is too fine.

- Okay, but I still need to be professional.

I can't just accept the job because he's fine.

- Hell, I would. Just see what the job is about.

You can always quit if you don't like it.

- But then I'm gonna be out of a job

and it's not like they gonna take me back at the restaurant.

- Just hit the man up.

Come on, what do you have to lose?

- Oh my goodness.

My life with that smell you got going on under there?

- Seriously?

- Come on, let's go take a shower

before your sweat kills me

before I can even consider taking the position.

- Oh Lord, I do not have time for this drama,

I'm going inside. - Taylor.

- What are you doing here?

- Well, your aunt called

and said you having car troubles the other day,

wanted me to come look at it for you.

- Thanks. But I don't need you to do that for me.

- Just stop being stubborn and let me look at it, please.

- Come on.

(easy mood music playing)

- It looks like you need some Freon.

(car bonnet slams)

You know, I can run to the store and go get you some

and help you fix this.

- Why are you doing this?

I mean, don't you have someone else's hood

you should be looking under?

- Look, I said I was sorry, all right?

I keep telling you nothing happened.

- Okay. Like I'm supposed to believe that.

- Don't be like that. - Like what?

- Like you didn't cheat on me with another girl?

You allowed her to get that close to you

because you felt like I was too busy with school and work.

Well, guess what?

Law school is even more demanding

and clearly you can't handle that.

So thank you for showing me how to fix my car.

I'll take care of it.

- No, Naomi. Naomi, wait!

- Come on girl, what can it hurt?

Just call him.

- Okay. Okay.

(easy mood music playing)

(cellphone vibrating)

- Hello?

Hello? Are you there?

- Hi, yes, I'm here.

It's Naomi. Naomi Anderson from the restaurant earlier.

- Yeah. Wonderful.

I was hoping that you would call, I'm glad you did.

- I'm sorry if it's too late.

- [Charles] Oh, so what? I got my ace to be in bed by now.

- No, no, no, no. I didn't mean...

I'm sorry, I was just saying that I waited so late to call.

That's all.

- [Charles] Hey. Hey. I'm just kidding.

So, tell me about yourself.

- Well, I'm 21. I'm in school for business.

This is my senior year, so I'm almost to the finish line,

and I'm considering going to law school afterwards.

- [Charles] Well, accepting this position,

will let you know if this is something

that you'll be interested in.

- Yeah, I'm just working at the restaurant to pay bills

and saving for a new car.

Apparently mine is on it's last leg and I need some Fremont.

- I'm sorry, do you mean Freon?

- Oh yeah. That.

My car wouldn't start on me the other day.

- I tell you what, how about I come bring you some Freon.

I'll fix you right up

and I'll make sure that there's nothing else that you need.

- Oh no, it's okay, I don't wanna be a bother.

I'm sure I could just take it somewhere.

- Nonsense. How about I come tomorrow?

I'll bring the Freon.

Then afterwards I can take you to dinner.

We can talk about the new position.

- Um, sure. Why not.

- Great. I'll pick you up around seven if that's okay?

- Wait. To my place?

- Yeah, I mean, I'm sorry, I was raised old school,

so I like to pick up a lady.

I'm not like these young cats, you know,

they might like, you know, want to go half on everything.

But me, you don't gotta worry about none of that, I got you.

- Okay. I'll see you at seven.

- Sounds good. Get some rest.

I'll see you tomorrow night.

(easy mood music playing)

- What?

(knocking at the door)

- Okay, zaddy.

Naomi? Mr. St. James is here.

- Oh wow,

you look nice.

I feel underdressed.

- No worries. You look amazing.

Hmm. Oh, I do have the Freon,

but if you don't mind, I'd like to do it when we get back.

So don't get my clothes dirty.

- Oh yeah, of course. - Good, good.

- You ready to go? - Yeah.

- Y'all have a good night. - Bye, Taylor.

- Need to get me a sugar zaddy. Mm.

- Naomi, you okay?

You haven't changed your mind about dinner, have you?

- No, it's not that.

It's just you came in this nice car

and you have on this nice suit

and then I'm dressed like this.

- Look, I told you not to worry about anybody else

whenever you with me.

You know, I got an idea. Do you trust me?

- Sure.

- I think you're gonna love it. I promise.

- Sure, no problem.

(easy mood music continues)

There you go, sweetie. - Thank you.

You welcome.

- Look, I'm sorry if that store clerk

made you feel uncomfortable.

I didn't realize I look so old.

- I don't think it's you. I mean, I still look so young.

People don't believe me when I tell them I'm 21.

I always get carded.

- That's a good thing. Enjoy it as long as you can.

- So tell me about you, Charles.

- Right. So I'm the owner of St. James and Associates.

I deal with a specific group of clients

and I help them fix their legal problems.

You can call me the "Olivia Pope of Houston."

- Wow, that's gotta be interesting.

- Yeah. Yeah, it is.

It's an exclusive side of the business.

My grandfather started it 70 years ago,

handed it down to my father.

My father passed it down to me.

- Wow, that's amazing that they left you such a legacy.

Are they still alive?

- Unfortunately, my grandfather, no.

My dad, yes, he's retired.

Out somewhere relaxing on the beach.

- Then he's living a life.

I've never been to the beach.

Well, if you consider Galveston a beach,

I've just been so busy with school and work

that I don't have time to do anything else.

- You mean to tell me you never been to LA or Miami

or been out the country

to see what this beautiful world has to offer?

- Nope. Just Texas.

(piano music playing)

- Naomi, would you be willing to take a trip with me?

- I don't know. I have to think about it.

- Come on. I say we go to Venice Beach and watch the sunset.

Hmm?

- I'll think about it. But tell me about this job.

- So, I'm looking to hire an executive assistant.

Basically be running errands, scheduling,

and entertaining clients.

Now the pay's good. I'm paying 8,000 a month.

And we also have a program that pays for your law school

for entry-level employees.

- Hold on, I'm sorry. Did you say 8,000 a month?

- Yeah. Is that something you'd be interested in?

- Interested in? Of course, I'm interested.

When will I start?

- Good, good. Bright and early Monday morning.

- Okay.

- Now let's have some drinks to celebrate this new position.

Shots.

Hmm.

Changed the Freon. Oil looks good.

(car bonnet closes)

Hey!

- Yo, what the fuck is your problem?

- You Ryan?

- Who's asking?

- Who's asking?

Stay... stay away from Naomi.

If I catch you around her again, I'm gonna kill you.

- You better get your old ass on.

(tense music playing)

- You got a problem?

Huh?

That's right. Leave her alone.

Shouldn't have brought her Freon. Dumb ass.

- So where is he now? - Outside fixing my car.

- He fix his cars too. Does he have a brother, a cousin?

Hell, what about a older son?

- Calm down, crazy. I think he an only child.

I don't know, this just seems crazy.

Like he bought me this dress

and you don't even want to know how much it costs.

- How much? - Girl, $500.

- For one dress?

- And that's not including the shoes.

- He bought you shoes too. Okay, I'm officially jealous.

- If you're jealous now.

Wait until I tell you what he asked me.

- What, girl? Spill tea.

- So he wants to take me on a trip to LA for the weekend.

- Wait, what, already?

- Well, you think it's too soon?

- I mean, I know I was all for you having a sugar zaddy,

but maybe you should get to know him a little better

before taking a trip with him alone.

Girls show up missing every day

and human trafficking is at an all time high.

- Yeah, maybe you're right.

I don't know, this just seems too good to be true.

But I did accept the job though. I start on Monday.

- Okay.

(knocking at the door)

(easy mood music playing)

- Ladies, Naomi.

So I took care of the Freon in your car

and going home to shower.

I'll see you bright and early Monday morning.

- Thank you Mr. St. James.

- Please, ladies, I'm only Mr. St. James in the office.

Have a good night.

- Girl, that man is too fine.

I probably let him kidnap me.

- Girl, shut up.

I'm about to go shower

so I can get out of this expensive ass dress and shoes.

- All right.

(cheerful chiming music playing)

- So you don't work at a restaurant anymore?

- No, I found a new job at a law firm.

- Oh, well, that's awesome.

So then tell me about this new job of yours.

How are you liking it?

- Well, the boss is really rich

and he hired me to be his assistant.

- Okay, what exactly are you assisting him with?

- Just schedules and meetings.

He just wants me to help him impress them.

- Okay, and how much is he paying you to do all this?

- Eight thousand a month.

- Eight thousand dollars. Naomi, what are you involved in?

There's no way this man is paying you that much

just to be his assistant.

- It's just business. I'm not doing anything disrespectful.

- Well, what about law school?

- Well, he said that he has programs

for entry-level employees

that will help pay for them to go to law school.

- Sweetheart, you can't be that naive.

This man is using you to entertain his clients,

paying you that much money.

Now let's be clear, what exactly are you doing for this man?

- It's not like that.

I'm not doing anything like that, I swear.

- Okay, look, I don't like it. I don't like it one bit.

And you know what else?

If your mother were here,

she'd be so disappointed in you right now.

Okay, look, I'm sorry.

When your mother passed, I took you in as a favor for her.

So you see, I'm responsible for you.

I know you think you're grown, sweetie,

but trust me, this world will eat you alive.

- I'll pay for it.

- Oh, I'm sure you can, but don't worry about it,

this one's on me.

But watch yourself, Naomi, I mean it.

This just isn't safe for a girl like you.

- [Naomi] All right, Taylor, I'm about to go.

- Bye.

What's that?

- I don't know. It was outside the door when I opened it.

- Well open it and see. - Okay.

- Smells good.

- "Naomi, I hope you enjoyed the past few weeks at the firm.

Clients are impressed with you.

I would like to extend the invitation for a weekend in LA.

I have some clients I need to meet

and I would like for you to join me.

This time I wanna extend the invite

for your friend to come along

so you feel more comfortable.

I have two tickets for you and Taylor to LA this weekend.

Everything's already paid for, just pack a bag.

Hope to see you soon." - Let me see that.

- Are you fucking kidding me? A trip for the both of us.

Girl, let me find out he trying to have a threesome.

- Girl, please.

And wasn't you just telling me

not to move too fast with him?

- Yes, but this is when you were going alone.

It'll be the both of us and you won't be alone.

- So do you think we should go?

- Of course we should go.

When are you ever gonna get a chance like this again?

- I can't believe this.

Oh, can you ask Clyde to watch J.B. for us?

- I sure can.

- Girl, we going to LA!

(upbeat music playing)

- Oh, I thought it was gonna be bigger than this.

This bathroom is just as big as our bathroom.

- I thought you said you don't get tired of anything free.

- Girl, you're right.

I'm about to dump Clyde's ass and get myself a sugar zaddy.

- You're so silly with that "zaddy" word.

But no, this is nice.

Ooh, I wanna go to the beach.

You know I never been outside of Texas.

- Yes. So now it's time to live out all your dreams, sis.

(knocking at the door)

- Sorry to barge in, ladies.

Hope you're getting settled in all right.

Is the room big enough for the both of you?

- Why? They got something bigger than this?

- Don't pay her any mind.

No, this is nice. Thank you.

- Yes, thank you Mr. St. James.

- Great. And please, ladies, call me, Charles.

Now my room's right next door if you need anything.

Oh, here's my card.

Now the driver's gonna pick you up.

He's gonna take you to the mall.

Make sure to get something new.

The place is very upscale and they have a dress code.

Make sure to get nothing no less than $1,000.

- Okay.

- All right, the car is here.

- Wait, you not coming with us?

- Actually, I have a business meeting to attend to.

But I will be back to pick you up.

I hope that's all right with you, Taylor?

You can enjoy the pool

and order anything that you want from room service.

- Thank you, Charles. You don't have to tell me twice.

- Great.

All right, ladies, you called me if you need anything.

- Girl.

(upbeat harmonizing music playing)

- Now this. This is what I'm talking about.

- No, this has gotta be a dream.

I can't believe he did all of this.

- Ow! - Nope, you're not dreaming.

- You wanna take a shot? - Yeah.

- Cheers to your new job and future law career

with St. James and Associates. - Cheers.

Okay, I'm about to go enjoy this pool. You coming?

- No, I'm gonna stay and get ready for tonight.

But you go have fun. - Oh girl, you know I will.

- Hey baby. Oh, nothing.

I'm about to go to the pool.

(easy mood music playing)

Don't play with you.

- Thanks. So how was the pool?

- Lovely. I am not ready to go back home.

This is the life. - I know, right.

- I mean, I never had someone spoil me like this before.

- So, how was the sugar? - What do you mean?

- Don't play, girl. I know you gave up the sugar.

How was he?

Does he work like a younger guy

and does he need a little blue pill?

- Ha, ha, ha, very funny.

He's not even that old and we haven't done anything.

He's been a complete gentleman.

- What? So you haven't even had to put out-

- Nope. He basically offered me the job.

So I'm just working for the money.

- Well, damn.

(knocking at the door)

- Taylor.

Ooh, Naomi. You look stunning. - Thanks.

Are you ready to go? - Yeah.

- All right, Taylor, see you later.

- Bye. Y'all have fun.

(easy mood music playing)

Hello?

Yes, can I order room service?

Room 1750.

Can I get a lobster with extra butter?

Thank you.

(Taylor humming) (water running)

Naomi! (tense music begins)

Hello? Is that you?

(tense music continues)

Yeah, I don't know who that was at the door,

but it was definitely weird.

- Nah, what's weird is this dude

spending all this money on y'all.

You know, I don't really feel comfortable with him

buying and paying for all your stuff too.

- Well, you wanna send me some money

and pay for everything I'm doing out here?

- Hell nah, I ain't got no money for that.

Especially for no damn lobster.

- Exactly. So hush.

That lobster was good though.

Anyways, back to this game, I believe I won the last round.

So you should be taking those shorts off by now.

- They already off. I've been waiting on you.

- Oh yeah. What you want me to do next?

- I just seen your birthday suit,

but I wanna start from the bottom

and then work my way up. - Okay.

- So, did you enjoy your evening?

- I did. Everything was beautiful.

I just wanted to say thank you for all the things

that you've done for me these past several weeks.

I mean, this job has literally changed my life.

- Quite welcome.

Got a lot in store for you, Miss. Anderson.

So, you ready? - Yes, I'm ready.

- Naomi, great job today. - Thank you.

- No, thank you.

So, what else is on the schedule for today?

- Well, you have a meeting with William Bryant

at 8:30 tonight.

- You know what? Why don't you join me?

I mean, it's more like a mixer at my house.

It's really just a bunch of men

talking about endorsement deals

and the chef is making steak.

I think you'll make the night a lot more bearable.

- Oh, you had me at steak.

- Good. Pick you up at seven?

- Okay, I'll see you then. - Sounds good.

- So you're helping him entertain a client tonight?

- Yeah, he said these meetings can get pretty boring.

And girl, he said the chef is making steak,

so you know I've been thinking about it all day.

- Hmm, can you bring me back a steak?

- I'll try.

(knocking at the door)

I think that's him. - I'll get it.

- Ryan!

- What are you doing here?

- I've been calling you.

You aren't returning any of my calls.

- So you decided to just show up.

This is your second time popping up at our place.

You walking into stalker territory.

- Look, I came here to talk to you about your boss,

Charles St. James.

You working for him now, right?

Look, Naomi, he's a criminal, okay?

He has a rap sheet a mile long.

Shit like fraud, embezzlement, illegal trading and more.

- How do you know I work for him?

- Clyde told me.

- Look, Naomi, he's shady, all right?

You need to be careful.

Do you know he put a gun out on me,

told me if I didn't stay away from you,

that he would kill me.

- Okay, now that's a bit extreme.

- No, no, I'm serious.

You ever happened to his last assistant? Melanie Walker?

- Stop it, Ryan! Okay, you need to leave like now!

- Sorry, am I interrupting anything?

- Mr. St. James, no, Ryan was just leaving.

- Remember what I said.

- All right, I think the ladies are ready for you to leave.

- Hey, I can walk myself out.

(tense music playing)

- I'm sorry about him.

He's my ex-boyfriend and he could be a bit dramatic.

- No worries. Shall we go? - Yeah.

- All right, y'all have fun. Bring me back a steak.

- Okay, goodnight, Taylor. - Goodnight.

(door closes)

- I need you to handle that little situation tonight.

Let me know as soon as it's done.

(car door closes)

(tense music begins)

- Oh shit. Oh shit.

Oh shit!

(tense music continues)

(groaning)

(groaning)

(muffled moaning)

(tense music continues)

(car door slams)

(upbeat jazz music playing)

- Charles, that steak was delicious.

I need the number of that chef.

- Not a problem, I'll make sure to get you a card.

- Don't know what I'd do without this guy.

Saved my life when he took my case on.

- Well, just have another son and name him Charles.

(group laughing)

- So who is this you brought with you tonight, Charles?

- This is my lovely new executive assistant, Naomi Anderson.

- Nice to meet you.

- She's a pre-law student at the university.

Naomi, William Bryant.

- You can call me Bill.

So tell me, sweetheart,

does he make you bring him coffee every day?

I smoke a latte with cinnamon.

- That's what I thought.

Charles, let's talk about that investment deal.

- Mm, yes. Step this way into my office.

(upbeat jazz music continues)

- Look at all this stuff Ryan sent me.

- See, you know I didn't like you going to LA with him

in the first place.

- Well, I didn't tell you all this

so you could go and tell Ryan.

You know they're not together anymore.

- If it were you, I want to know.

He still caress about her

and she might care something to some shit

she might not be able to get out of.

- Oh my God.

- What? What is it?

- I've seen this girl before on the news.

She died of a overdose.

- Okay. Who is she? (tense music begins)

- She was Charles's last assistant.

- What the fuck?

- I need to call Naomi.

- All right William, it's always good to see you.

- Good to see you. Don't forget that chef's number.

- I got you. You be safe.

Have a safe trip. - You bet.

(door closes)

(easy mood jazz music playing)

(hands clapping)

You are amazing. - Thanks.

William signed the check. No problem.

- Mm. - Thank you.

- All I did was smile and laugh at their jokes.

- This is the social side of the business.

Us men tend to let our guards down

when there's a beautiful woman around.

That's why I invited you.

Should I take you home?

- What if I wasn't ready to go home?

"Good morning, beautiful, last night was amazing.

I've head into the office.

I left my car keys to the Audi, it's yours.

Put something you can change into.

See you later, Charles."

Holy shit. What the...

Okay.

(door closes)

(birds chirping)

- It is unfortunate what happened.

And if you have any questions about it,

please, don't hesitate to reach out.

- What's going on?

- You would know if you answered your phone.

- I must have left it at...

Why? What happened?

- You may wanna have a seat, Miss. Anderson.

- I don't wanna sit down.

Please, somebody tell me what's the problem

- There's been an accident. - With who?

- It's Ryan. - He was in a car accident.

- An open bottle was found in his backseat.

- They think he was drinking and driving.

- What? Is he okay?

- I'm sorry ma'am.

- No, he's not dead.

He was just here.

(emotional music begins)

- I'm truly sorry for your loss.

If you have any questions, please, here, take my card.

- I'll take it. - Thank you.

- Y'all take care.

(emotional music continues)

- Here you go.

- Thanks, Clyde - Thank you, baby.

- [Clyde] Gotcha, baby.

- It just doesn't make sense.

I mean, Ryan doesn't drink like that,

let alone drink and drive.

- I don't know.

He was pretty hard book with that St. James guy.

- Naomi, we found some things that have us concerned

and we think what Ryan was saying may have been true.

- What are you guys talking about?

- Something happened to his last assistant.

She apparently overdosed and crashed her car.

Now Ryan gets into an accident from drinking and driving.

It all just seems a little sketchy.

(tense music playing)

- Charles has been nothing but nice to me and you.

Gave me this job, bought me these nice clothes.

He's even letting me use his car.

- I just think you should take a step back

and reevaluate the situation.

We just want you to be safe.

- All of this sounds crazy, okay?

I'm gonna go back to his place so I can get my phone.

(tense music continues)

(birds chirping)

(car door closes)

(tense music continues)

(tense music continues)

(tense music continues)

Shit.

(cellphone vibrating)

Hello?

- Naomi, I've been calling you, is everything okay?

- I'm not.

It's Ryan, my ex-boyfriend, he's dead.

- [Charles] What? What happened?

- He died in a, a car accident.

Apparently, he was drinking and driving.

- That's unfortunate.

- This is just too much.

I never told you, but my mom died when I was in high school

and losing someone else close to me like that,

it's just a lot for me.

- I'm sorry. Is there anything that you need from me?

- I need a leave of absence.

I just need time to figure things out

and meet with his parents

to talk about funeral arrangements.

You understand, right?

- Yes, seven. I understand.

Take however long that you need.

(water running)

Okay, Charles,

not another Melanie.

You've got this. You're in control.

She won't get away.

Charles.

- So what do you think he's hiding?

- I don't know, but something's off.

That's her, that's Charles's last assistant.

Look, I found a wallet in his office.

- [Taylor] Why would he even have this?

- I don't know. It has her address on the license.

- You think we should go there?

- Maybe her parents can tell us something

that can help us know what we're dealing with.

- Okay, we can go in the morning.

- Okay.

(knocking at the door)

- Yes, can I help you?

- Hi. Are you Mrs. Walker?

- Yes I am. Who are you?

- Can we speak to you for a moment?

It's about your daughter, Melanie.

- I'm not talking to no reporters. Please go away.

- I work for Charles St. James.

(tense music playing)

Can we please come in?

- [Mrs. Walker] Would you girls like anything to drink?

- No, thank you. - I'm fine. Thank you.

- I need to tell you two

that if you are working for that man,

you need to get out while you can.

- Can you tell us what happened with Melanie?

- She started working for him

right after she graduated from college on a paid internship.

I'm like, what internship is gonna pay $6,000 a month?

- Did she ever say anything to you

to make you think she would be in danger?

- She shut me out. She didn't say much.

But I did get concerned about the age difference

and how he would buy her expensive things

and have her do certain things with certain clients of his.

But then he began to get jealous

and he wanted her all to himself.

Her ex-boyfriend

and her best friend

were both killed in a freak accident.

And I knew,

I knew she was gonna be next.

- We need to go to the police. - And say what?

- We can't prove anything.

He didn't force me to do anything.

- What if he killed Ryan?

- My baby never did drugs a day in her life.

They said that she overdosed.

No, he drugged her.

He drugged her because she was trying to get away from him.

You girls, y'all need to be careful

because he'll try and take everyone away from you.

Those that you love.

(emotional music begins)

(tense music begins)

- Looks like Clyde can't keep his hands to himself.

I got something for you.

(tense music continues)

(wood snaps) (door creaks)

(tense music continues)

(Taylor screams)

- What?

What happened?

- Somebody left these cleaning supplies out.

- How?

- I don't know because it wasn't there last night.

And you know neither of us would've been this careless.

(emotional music playing)

- He's been here.

He can come into our apartment, Taylor.

- We can't stay here.

We need to go somewhere where it's safe.

- My aunt, we can go there. She'll let us come there.

- I'm calling Clyde.

You need to call the detective

and get a restraining order on him.

- Hey, I just filed the restraining order

with Detective Coleman.

- Good. Hopefully that'll keep his crazy ass away.

Have you heard from Clyde? He's not answering.

- No, I haven't,

but I'll try to give him a call and see if he answers.

- Okay, thanks.

I'm on my way to your aunt's house right now.

- Okay, she knows that you're coming.

I'll be there when I get off work. I'm headed there now.

- I'm so glad this restaurant gave you your job back.

The sooner we can get things back to normal, the better.

- Yeah, we have grounds to break our lease.

My aunt says that we can stay with her

until we find somewhere else to stay.

- Okay, I'll see you later. Be careful.

- I will. You too.

- Mr. St. James, is there anything I can do for you?

- Have you seen the Naomi today?

- No sir. She actually called in.

You know, she turned in her notice

that she won't be returning.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- Charles St. James?

- [Charles] How can I help you?

- You've been served. Have a good day.

- Damn!

(door slams)

- [Charles] Naomi!

- Charles, you're supposed to be 100 feet away from me.

What are you doing here?

- I'm gonna ask you the same thing.

Why haven't you been to work?

- I don't think this is gonna work out, okay?

I just wanna go back to my old life. I'm sorry.

- Back to your old life.

Did you have that car in your old life? Huh?

- You want the car? Here.

I just wanna be done, Charles.

Please don't let me call the police.

- Okay.

Here, keep the car.

That's what you want.

- Help! Help somebody, help me.

Somebody help me, please.

(tense music begins)

- You can scream all you want.

Nobody's gonna hear you. - Please just let me go.

You grateful little bitch.

This is how you treat me.

After all I've done for you.

- Please, Charles, I don't wanna die.

- You'd be nothing without me. Nothing.

You just wanna use me.

Get my money. You just like the rest of them, Naomi.

Why am I not good enough for you?

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- No answer. She should have been home hours ago.

- And I told her she was in way over her head.

Something's wrong, I can feel it.

- This is all my fault. I encourage her to see this guy.

I didn't think any of this would happen.

And Clyde's not answering either.

I haven't seen him since Ryan's funeral.

- Okay, Taylor, tell me what's going on.

Tell me everything.

- Naomi and I met the mother of his last assistant.

She believes that Charles had something to do

with her death,

that she never did drugs before.

She said she was trying to stop working with him

and he started stalking her.

- Okay, now I'm officially worried.

Do you know where this guy's house is?

- I, I think so. - Okay, let's go.

- You have it special.

I know it, you know it. Everybody knows it.

You have the life that every girl wants.

I made it come true for you.

- Why are you doing this?

(tense music playing)

- I did this for you.

Everybody else has gotten in the way.

Jealous,

Ryan,

Clyde.

Your friend, Taylor, she's next.

She's next.

I won't let anybody come between us.

(tense music continues)

- Turn left here.

Clyde still isn't answering his phone.

Something must have happened to him, I know it.

- And I'm sure this St. James guy

has something to do with it too.

- Damn it!

Hurry, please. Turn left here.

- Please just let me go.

- I love you.

- Fuck you you crazy psycho!

- Is that how you talk to your...

What do your girls call it? Your zaddy, huh?

You just like the rest of them.

- Like Melanie? You killed her, didn't you?

- All I wanted to do was love her.

Spoiled little bitch!

- I already went to the police.

I filed a report. You're on their radar.

- You know how many cops I got in my back pocket? Huh?

- This is it. This is the house.

(tense music begins)

(car door closes)

- Now I get to kill your bestie and your aunt.

- Okay, stay here.

- I'm calling the detective.

Hello?

Yes, this is Taylor.

You gave me your card when my friend, Ryan, died.

My friend, Naomi, she's in danger. Can you please send help?

(tense music continues)

(handcuff chain rattling)

(handcuff chain rattling)

- Aunt Janae?

Taylor?

Aunt Janae?

Taylor?

- Oh my gosh, Naomi, are you okay?

- Yes, I'm fine. - Where is he?

- I don't know. Where's Taylor?

It's okay. Taylor's in the car.

Told her to wait and call the police.

- Okay, we got to hurry. Lets get out of here right now.

(Charles groaning) (Naomi screams)

- You just like Melanie!

Come here!

- Shit! Where are the fucking police?

- Look what you made me do!

(tense music continues)

I fucking loved you!

(door creaks)

Look what you made me do! Look what you made me do!

I fucking loved you!

(gun fires) (Charles groans)

(emotional music begins)

- [Detective Coleman] You ladies okay?

- No, my aunt needs to see a doctor.

- The ambulance will take her as soon as they get here.

- Okay?

- The three of you stay out here.

(tense music playing)

This is Detective Coleman.

Suspect has fled the scene and is injured.

Search the perimeter.

- Okay, so you ladies got everything?

- Yes, we're all packed. Thank you, Aunt Janae.

- Yes, thank you so much.

I really don't know what we would've done without you.

- Especially with that crazy man still out there.

- We'll be more careful.

- All right. Well, let me know when you make it.

And don't you forget to send me your graduation invitation.

I can't wait to put it up on my wall.

Your mom always loved doing that kind of stuff.

- Okay, I will. I'll love you.

- Love you so much.

Bye.
