Hello?

Oh. Hey.

Wh-wh-what you doing?

Oh, I got this air fryer

as a gift, but then
I remembered I have an oven.

A-A-Are you returning this?

Look, I don't have the receipt.
I know what you're thinking,

but I was thinking maybe
we could make a trade,

you know, it'd be
something like that.

n*gga, do you not see
what's going on right now?

Yeah. Hmm.

It is pretty wild in here.

Kind of looks like
a marshalls now, but...

Thank you.

Wait, don't-don't-don't, uh...

Come on, man. Damn.

Thirst bucket.

Come on, now.

- Let us out.
- No.

- Move.
- No.

Y'all are stealing.
Now put it back.

- Excuse me.
- Put it back.

Uh-uh. I'm not gonna let you
take that air fryer.

Oh, no, no, I'm not stealing it.

- I just forgot the receipt, but...
- No.

I would rather die than let you

take that. Now, you put that
back, or you ain't leaving.

Hey. Y... uh-uh. Hey!
Nobody's leaving.

Hey!

What are you...

Let go of my chair.

Oh, sh*t, she's got a Kn*fe!

Oh, sh*t!
Oh! Oh! sh*t, sh*t!

Oh, oh!

Hey, man, you keep the change.

Girl in the hat, cpk?

Took her to see nor bit
opening weekend.

Gyu-kaku.

We went on three dates,
and I ghosted him.

And the guy he's serving
was my ta.

We dated for three months.

Coming around the corner
at three o'clock,

shaunna, we met at a braves
game, dated for under a year.

She's wearing a shirt
that she stole from my house.

Peter brookfield.

Went on six dates
between 2012 and 2014.

And he's the last American white
I've kissed.

I'm sorry,
can I be honest with you?

Yeah, always.

I kind of just want to leave.

- Yeah, let's do that.
- Okay.

We've been here twice already.

But where's the car?

Are you tapping the thing?

- Yeah, yeah...
- Hey, earn!

Long time no see.

We just saw each other.

Doesn't matter, um...

We're a little lost.
Could you help us

get out of here?
Do you know how?

Yeah, it's a little tricky.

I'm not sure.

I came to get
a gift for my dad and now

I feel like I've been lost
for a really long time.

What's a really long time?

I don't know.

When you first got here,

do you remember
what was playing at the regal?

Now you see me 2.

That's bad, huh?

- No, it's good.
- It was good to see you.

Yo, I don't know what you think
this is, all right?

I don't know what fox news
has been feeding you,

but I'm not antifa,
I'm not a looter.

I just was returning
my air fryer.

I don't care.

You can't get me now.

I'm up here.

I'll wait.

What?

No, you don't.

Ah, sh*t.

Oh.

Can I help you?

Hey, uh...

Yeah, I was, um...

Are you here for blue blood?

- Yeah, yeah.
- Oh.

Is he performing?

Uh, no.

He's dead.

Is that news to you?

I'm keisha.

Gary's wife.

I'm al.

Blueblood's name was Gary?

Yeah.

Yeah.

So what's all this?

Well, this is Gary's funeral.

The way he wanted it.

Hmm.

Gary was always trying
to outdo himself.

You know.

I remember he used to talk
about the culture.

And how he was doing it
for the culture.

So...

When he found out
he was gonna die,

he decided to do this.

He was pretty sick
towards the end, but...

He still managed to record an
album and plan a scavenger hunt.

T-shirts, comic books...

Barbecue sponsorships.

Oh, are you hungry?

Uh, no, no, I, um...

I had something to eat
on the way over here.

Oh, right.

The zoo pie.

I promised him
I'd run the funeral.

You're the fifth person
to show up.

Damn.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I think he expected more people.

I'm actually surprised, too.

I mean, all you had to do
was listen to the album.

Yeah.

He put so much effort into it,

but I guess you don't always get
back what you give.

He just worked so hard.

And I just wish
he had had more fun.

'Cause that's all it is
in the end.

Oh!

You get one of those, too.

Track 11 is how to care for it.

That's dope.

Mm-hmm.

He really had an impact on me.

May I?

Sure.

That's...

That's not his skeleton.

I had to have him cremated
about a month ago.

Earn?

Vanessa, long time no see...

No, no, no, no, no, stay back!

S-stay back.

Earn!

- Van!
- Oh, my god.

Did you find something?

Is that a way out?

I'm not going in there.

Well, I'll check it out,
and then I'll come back

if it ends up being legit.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

You're just gonna leave me,
and then I'm stuck here

like the rest of your exes?

I would never let you
become one of them.

You know that, right?

All right.

What was that?

Are the walls carpeted?

Yeah, they are, but
why are they sopping wet?

We're gonna have
to sl-slide through this

Ooh, ow! Ow!
Earn, there's no room.

I see, I see there,
I see a light in the corner.

Ow! Ow! Wait, wait, wait!

Okay, just keep moving.
I see a light, I see a light.

- Just follow that.
- Okay. You do? Okay, I'm kind of scared.

- Calm down. I got, I know, it's okay, it's okay.
- Okay.

- All right, I'm stuck. Okay, you're gonna have to...
- Oh! Oh, okay.

- You're gonna have to kick me. You're gonna...
- Okay.

- I'm sorry! Okay.
- Not there!

- On the, the head!
- I'm sorry!

- On the head!
- I didn't mean it. I'm sorry!

He was kind of like
a revolutionary. I mean, who...

Nobody think about putting
stuff on tracks like that.

- And making a scavenger hunt...
- I know, right? Yeah.

Y'all f*ck with blue blood?

I was following y'all.

Kenya?

Hey, you want me to, uh, give
you a ride to your car, man?

Nah, they can keep it.

Is that Darius?

Where? Hell yeah.

Hey, yo, Darius!

Oh.

Yo.

You okay?

You look kind of rough.

Yeah, it's been a...

Weird day.

Hey, al, can you get me
up out of here, man?

- Like, quickly, please?
- All right. Come on, man, let's go.

- You gonna be all right?
- Yeah, I'll be all right.

Hey, I'm Kenya.

Hi.

What's with the air fryer?

Ah, it was just a gift.

I forgot to get
a gift for my dad.

Uh, here.

Wow, thank you.

No, thank you.

Kenya, you need a ride?
