(eerie music)
(tape rolling)
(crickets chirping)
(Lena groans)
(goat bleating)
(dramatic music)
(door creaking)
(dramatic music)
(Lena screams) (alarm blaring)
What the f*ck?
(Lena grunts)
(Lena sighs)
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music)
(bright music)
He keeps falling out
He keeps falling out
Something the world can never
Understand about it
(bright music)
(tire explodes) Oh.
Oh my god, f*ck!
(Lena grunts)
(Lena sighs)
Oh my god, okay.
Lena, it's okay.
All right.
You have AAA, just keep it together.
(car door opens, closes)
You gotta be kidding me.
This is not happening, not today.
(phone ringing)
Hello?
Hi, I'm on-
I don't know, Beachwood Canyon.
Yeah, I have a flat tire.
I must have ran over a nail or something.
Lena Simon.
No, Lena Simon.
Oh my god, for real?
L-E-N-A.
No, Lena.
Oh my god, what the f*ck, dude?
What the hell?
What are you doing?
I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to scare you.
I just saw that you needed help.
Okay, that's cute and all.
But that convertible
over there that you have,
it doesn't even look like it has a spare.
And you don't even look like
you can even change a tire.
Hold on.
Oh my god.
Lena Simon.
Hello?
Hello?
I can take you where
you need to go, Lena.
Okay, dude, why are you
saying my name like you know me?
Seriously.
You know what, you're
giving me stalker vibes,
so I'm just gonna record you at this point.
- Wow.
- Yes, that's happening.
What's your name?
Scotty, Scotty Sharpe.
And where are you from?
I'm from the Bay Area.
I'm a motivational speaker.
My mom's name is Marlene.
I'm a Leo, my social
security number is 545-
- Okay seriously, that's enough.
Oh sh*t, hello?
Yes, yes.
No, I've been on hold.
- You seem very like...
- I seem very like what?
- Very stressed.
- Oh my god, okay.
You just need to relax. Let
me help you with your tire.
What are you? The black James Bond?
(Lena chuckles)
No, that's okay.
I feel much safer with AAA, okay?
Wait, wait, wait, you said how long?
Four hours, seriously?
No, I have to get to work.
Okay, you know what, just forget it.
Yep, just forget it.
Thank you.
You better not be crazy.
I can't promise that,
but I am a safe driver.
(lively music)
I like that.
So special needs,
you're speaking to kids with special needs?
Autism mainly.
Wow, impressive.
Mr. Convertible has a heart.
I like to think I do.
I try to help people out when I can.
What about you?
What about me, what?
Does Ms. Lena Simon have a heart?
Yes, as dark as coal.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
I'll make sure I watch out then.
Good idea.
Let's go inside.
Scotty Sharpe, did you
make that name up yourself?
You're funny.
(cellphone ringing)
I gotta take this call.
I'll meet you inside.
Okay.
Hey, I'm just saying I'm
gonna be running a little late.
Ladies and gentlemen, the
one, the only, Scotty Sharpe.
(children applauding)
Our Yes club sponsor.
Thank you guys, I really appreciate you.
Thank you for having me here.
How are you guys doing today?
[Child] Good, how are you?
I'm doing fantastic.
(cellphone chimes)
Do people tell you that
you can't do something
that you want to do?
Yes.
Yes?
Well, guess what?
People tell me the same thing.
But you know something.
When you have a dream,
you don't let anyone take
that dream away from you.
You figure out how to get it
done, you believe in yourself,
you have confidence, and you
go after what you want to do.
We can do anything we set
our minds to do, right?
Yes.
- [Scotty] Yes!
Yes!
Now, without further ado,
parents, teachers, students,
I would love to pass the
microphone back to my colleague,
my friend, your guys
principal, Dr. Terrance Wallet.
Bye guys.
Say bye everybody.
- [Kids] Bye.
What did you think?
I'm impressed.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Well, my brother's here,
so I'm gonna run and I
guess I'll see you later.
I would love that.
Bye.
(gentle music)
Hello.
Hey.
Rule number one, baby sis,
you don't take rides from
strangers, especially in LA.
Shut up, punk.
Listen, I recorded his ass and everything.
That would have made it
so much easier to identify him
the day they find your body
chopped up in pieces somewhere, huh?
Very funny.
Right.
Well, he is very fine though.
Yeah, hiding the heart of a mad man.
Hello, earth to Lena, we
gotta talk about Meatball.
What?
There's nothing to talk about.
He can't stay with you Lena,
you have parole officers coming by.
We discussed this already.
Meatball is staying with me.
It's not my decision, it's the law.
He can't be in the house with weapons,
especially while he is on parole.
Halfway house it is.
No, my brother is not
staying in the Halfway house.
He's not a little boy anymore.
He's a grown man and a
felon for Christ's sake.
Come on, Lena.
Shout out to my pops
he taught me the game
Yeah, I'm his only son
Who gon' rap this sh*t,
I guess I'm the only one
I smoke and zip and bow my
head, I pray I get it done
You good?
I'm good.
Thanks for the ride, baby.
No, you're welcome.
I'm not doing my job if I'm
not rescuing my baby sis.
- Yeah.
- How you getting home?
I'm gonna get an Uber.
I'll get my car tomorrow.
No doubt.
You take care, I love you.
I love you too.
(car door opens, closes)
Lena, get your scrubs
on and head to OR 2.
There's been a four car
collision and it's a mess.
Okay, I got it.
(tense music)
What the hell is my car doing here?
The spare is in the trunk.
The key is under the mat.
Dinner tomorrow night on me.
I'll pick you up at eight, Scotty.
Scotty.
Scotty is crazy Scotty.
(door opens)
(keys clank)
(door closes)
(windows rustling)
(banging on door)
Girl, what the f*ck?
Don't be scaring me like that.
What the hell's the matter with you?
Long day.
You think?
(door closes)
My tire blew out
and then I got rescued
by this prince charming
with these gorgeous eyes.
Yeah.
- Yeah, grab your glass.
- All right.
But he dropped my car off
and I didn't even give him my address.
You left your registration
in the glove box, huh?
Easy to find.
You know what you gotta do, right?
You gotta go meet with MaMa Ti'Mun.
Oh, please.
Can you stop bringing up
this witch doctor mumbo jumbo bullshit?
I told you, anybody who takes
that stuff seriously is crazy.
It's not like what you think it is.
Voodoo isn't like what I think?
No.
Okay, what's it like?
Okay.
Well, it's not like the movie
sh*t you think of, right?
Okay, it's traditional.
It's got rituals.
You know where you set your intentions
on what you really want.
It's like tarot cards or something.
Well, as a medical professional,
I will tell you this,
that voodoo witchcraft
stuff that you're talking about
is bullshit.
Anyways, I don't need magic.
He left a note in the car
telling me that he's
gonna take me to dinner
and pick me up at eight.
Oh, he's one of the arrogant ones, huh?
You like those.
Do you have time to pick me up
and take me to your shop
tomorrow so you can do my hair?
Girl, please.
I need to go after work.
You think?
Bitch, look at you.
How the f*ck you supposed to compete
against these put together hoes
and you over here looking like a rag doll
and them sheets are dry.
You ain't had no happy in a long time.
Toni.
Have no fear
The black superman is right here
Rick Ross with the vintage gear
It is growing girl.
[Client] I love that conditioner.
Hey Lena.
- How's it going?
- Good.
Tony's just finishing up.
Oh, honey.
Thank you.
Honestly, men are easy to control,
but they are difficult to live with.
Always wanna inv*de my
space when I need my alone time.
You know, that's exactly
what I'm talking about.
All that bad energy but
guess who looks perfect.
If I do say so myself.
Yes.
- Yay.
- I'll see you soon.
And once I handle all of
this, you'll be busy too
'cause my girl got a big
d*ck, a big date night.
We'll see.
Girl, you've been single so long,
you got cobwebs and
things crawling up in you.
Stop.
We talked about this.
I just wanted some alone time
and live that independent lifestyle.
It's just your rationalization baby.
Dante my pet, is that my sugar free decaf
vanilla cappuccino with soy milk?
Yes, it is, my world.
Grande or tall?
Grande, just like my passion for you.
Oh my god.
- [Dante] Oh my god.
- Watch out!
- Baby, oh my god.
I'm so sorry.
I didn't do it, please
you gotta forgive me.
You gotta forgive me, please.
Okay, okay.
It's okay.
We'll just clean it up.
It's only coffee.
Mind your business, bitch.
Okay, Dante, it's time to go.
And if you are good,
I will let you wax my car.
Thank you, my everything.
Oh, you're dropping everything.
Okay, let's go.
Okay, girl, what was that about?
Iris's new puppy.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, he's been acting
real strange lately.
Strange?
Yeah.
Wild like this here.
(Toni chuckles)
Your table should be ready
in about another 20 minutes.
Thank you very much.
So.
Mh-hm.
You know, you're a mystery.
Oh yeah?
Yeah.
Why do you say that?
Well, because I googled you
and nothing came up but your website.
Scotty Sharpe, the motivational speaker.
Yeah.
No Instagram, no family
photos, no friends, nothing.
I can see why you feel that way.
Okay.
I mean, I don't know what to say.
Maybe I prefer to be full of surprises
than to be Googled, right?
I like that.
Oh.
Hey girl.
My love, whatever you
need, just say the word.
Hmm, there is one thing
I could use, a pedicure.
Say less.
Well, at home.
At home, at home.
I'm sorry, my world.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
I mean, he's cute.
A little too much on the
puppy dog side, but...
He's cute, huh?
Oh, no.
You have nothing to worry about.
Yeah?
Yeah, Mr. Sharpe.
- That's good to know.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Like the sound of that?
- Yeah, I like that.
- Okay.
Because you're cute.
- Oh yeah.
- Yeah.
Okay.
Cheers to that.
(glasses clinking)
Oh my god.
I know your mother was
not happy about that.
No, she was not.
After I got expelled
for burning down my high school bathroom,
she shipped me off to m*llitary school.
- Yep.
- Okay, wait a minute.
What was that like?
So it was very controlled.
I'll give you an example.
When I had to make my bed,
everything had to be folded right.
It really wasn't relaxed
until I got into the actual m*llitary,
if that makes any sense.
The m*llitary is a good thing.
You know, men build character.
It's a good thing, right?
Yeah, well it is.
You lose a sense of self though.
You become a small part of
something that you can't control.
The trick is to not feed into it.
You gotta get in, you gotta get out.
The US isn't for us, if
you know what I mean.
So that's why I like helping people,
especially my people.
And that's why you do
the special needs club.
Exactly, so you
understand, you're a nurse.
Is that hard though?
Yeah.
Okay, well let me put it like this.
Nobody likes going to the
emergency room on a good day.
Right, that makes sense.
You see people's breaking points.
Oh wow, so it's kind of like
basic training in a sense.
- Yeah.
- Scotty.
Colonel, how you doing?
You know, I actually made it to General,
but you can call me Doug.
So this is my brother
from another mother.
He was my commanding officer.
We see each other all the time.
Hello.
Hi.
So what's new? How you been?
Good.
Good.
You know, business is busy.
So he's in the private security business.
You know, just neighborhood
surveillance units,
small things, but...
Well, it looks like I'm interfering
with a little romantic dinner here.
Yeah, you kind of are.
Something like that.
I get the hint.
Lovely to meet you and enjoy.
Great seeing you.
We'll talk soon.
What a guy.
What is that?
Something delicious.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
I like the sound of that.
Yeah, okay.
(ambient music)
(ominous music)
(goat bleating)
(dramatic music)
Oh my god.
That dream.
Last night was amazing,
but I had this nightmare.
(Lena groans)
He didn't leave me a note?
He didn't leave me a note.
(Lena scoffs)
And?
No calls, no texts, no
Instagram likes, nothing?
Four days of nothing.
And we had such an amazing night.
And then...
I don't know.
I don't know.
I really thought he was something special.
Well, have you called him?
He disappeared before I woke up.
I'm not chasing that man.
So what you gonna do?
Check your messages every three seconds?
If he's special, just call him.
You know what, I'm gonna do it.
Girl, do not call that man.
- Yes, I am.
- Toni.
Is he saved under baby daddy?
- Toni don't.
- Chocolate thunder.
Toni, Toni.
Oh, speak of the devil,
he's calling right now.
I'm gonna answer.
(phone beeps)
Going straight to voicemail.
You are ridiculous.
Mh-hm.
Here.
(cellphone ringing)
Oh, he back.
Wait a minute.
See what you did.
Lena.
[Scotty] I was just thinking about you.
Yeah?
Well you sure disappeared
in a hurry the other morning.
[Scotty] I'm so sorry.
I just had an early day and
I didn't wanna wake you.
The sun was just barely on the horizon.
How about we get together, say next week?
Next week?
[Scotty] Yeah, I'm
busy until Thursday, so.
Actually make it Friday. Friday at 8:00 PM.
Late next week.
[Scotty] I'm so sorry. That's all I got.
How could I have known I was
gonna meet this amazing woman
I truly would've spent all
my time with if I could.
Okay, Friday.
Next week?
Late next week?
You know he's pulling
that hot and cold sh*t.
He's making you wait and
then he's laying it on you.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
Look, you said it yourself.
If he's that special,
then he's worth the wait.
You know what you're gonna do, right?
You're going with me to MaMa Ti'Mun
and you'll see what a
devoted man really looks like
and you'll never have a
doubt that he loves you.
A love spell?
Hell yeah.
No.
She better flip this sh*t.
I guess that's why he
couldn't see me until next week.
(indistinct chattering in distance)
- Hi.
- Hi.
I'm here to pick up my ring.
It was being resized.
Alicia Chatham.
Of course, Ms. Chatham.
It's a ring that I will
not forget anytime soon.
My boyfriend proposed to me last week.
This really is a piece of art.
18 carat, white gold, 20
brilliant cut diamonds.
It really is a beautiful piece.
And to be honest, this is my favorite band
and now it's yours.
Wow, it's perfect.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
Are you okay?
Can I help you?
Is she-
Tonight is the night.
Where have you been trying to take me to
and where have I been saying no?
No bullshit
(car horns honking)
(dramatic music)
(door opens)
(door closes)
Namaste.
Namaste.
What are the Akashic records?
I once tapped into my Akashic records.
Okay.
The record of all records.
Past life transgressions.
There will be three offerings
that must be completed in full
for the spell to work.
Are you sure you want to do this?
Because if you do, there
is no turning back.
It's $500.
$500?
Well, you said he was special, right?
You'd do anything.
Your first offering.
$500.
Merci.
(man witch speaking in foreign language)
(ambient music)
(upbeat ambient music)
(man screaming)
(MaMa Ti'Mun chanting)
Ah, welcome to the night.
And the night welcomes you, MaMa Ti'Mun.
You doubt.
I can sense it.
It's only natural.
I would be concerned if
I didn't feel it in you.
But I can also sense
there's something you want
very, very much.
Yes.
(MaMa Ti'Mun laughs)
The time for the second offering is now.
Kneel.
(objects clattering)
Puffer fish is venomous in here child.
Don't let it get in
your eyes or your mouth.
Poison?
Silence!
(MaMa Ti'Mun chanting)
(goat bleating)
Is that a goat?
Quiet bitch.
(MaMa Ti'Mun chanting)
(Lena screams)
What the hell?
Like, what the hell?
That was exactly like voodoos in the movie.
It wasn't that bad.
You're not the one who's
covered in goats blood.
You're not covered bitch,
you just got a little,
it's like a drop right here.
Who have I become?
I just spent $500 on a love
spell for some tired ass man.
Toni, I'm done.
I'm over it.
No, you've gone this far.
You're gonna do the spell
and I mean the whole spell.
But...
But nothing.
You heard the same instructions I did.
Three offerings, one left
and don't even think of
skipping it, all right.
This is voodoo you're f*cking with.
Hey, where do I put it in?
What am I supposed to do?
Spaghetti.
You gotta put it in spaghetti.
(soft music)
Ever since I switched my sh*t up man
Let out the fear on the mic
That sh*t been like therapy for me
(ominous music)
Okay.
Third offering.
(knock on door)
(door opens)
- Hey.
- Hey.
You look beautiful.
Thank you.
These are for you.
Wow, they're gorgeous.
Thank you.
Please open, pour, get
comfortable and I'll be back
and put the dinner on the table.
That sounds good and it smells fantastic.
Great 'cause you're in for a treat.
Okay.
I hope you're hungry.
I am starving.
I haven't eaten all day.
Oh, busy day?
Yeah, real busy day.
What about you? How was yours?
That remains to be seen.
Your day's events remain to be seen?
That's right.
Okay.
We'll just see how this dinner goes.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
Please sit down, it's gonna get cold.
After that kiss, there's
nothing else getting cold
the rest of the night.
Is it okay then?
Oh, dig in.
Okay.
Mh, that's really good.
Homemade sauce?
It doesn't taste like it came out of a jar.
That is really good.
What's the recipe?
Oh, well, it goes back generations.
You're doing a great job.
Oh wow.
(eerie music)
Okay. I can't take this.
Okay, what?
You.
You and Alicia, you guys are engaged?
Yeah, I know all about it.
I really thought we had a connection here.
I really thought we had something.
(Scotty laughs)
You're laughing at me.
I'm so sorry.
I don't know why you thought
Alicia and I were together
or engaged for that matter,
but she was showing me
property, office space.
Oh.
And you still invited me over here?
Yeah.
Well, you have any more spaghetti?
No.
Well, I have a better idea.
Come with me.
Okay.
(ominous music)
(people screaming) (g*ns f*ring)
(Lena screams)
(tense music)
(voices whispering)
[Doug] Marcellus awaken.
(dramatic music)
My love, it's not a problem.
I got one chocolate sprinkles
and one sugar donut.
My love, it's never a
problem when it comes to you.
Okay, I'll call you right back.
sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.
(dramatic music)
(man grunts)
(body thuds)
This is the last damn time.
(Lena sighs)
[Toni] Hey girl, what's up?
You won't believe what just happened.
I'm so tired of this.
He did it again.
No, I am just fed up.
This m*therf*cking beautiful
man is cooking me eggs.
I'll catch up with you later.
Okay.
Okay, bye.
Good morning.
Good morning.
How are you?
I'm fantastic.
Oh, it's so good to see you.
This is amazing.
Yeah?
- Yeah.
- All for you.
Oh wow, it's a beautiful day.
It is.
Well, that was amazing.
Which part?
Breakfast, of course.
That is not funny.
Oh, I wasn't being
serious, I was just joking.
You know that, right?
Yeah, I know.
Well, you better go.
I gotta get ready for work.
I don't wanna leave yet.
I wanna spend as much
time with you as I can,
tonight and tomorrow night
and the night after that.
I must have left a
really good impression.
You have no idea.
It's like an indelible ink.
Hey, hey, hey.
What's going on?
Oh, looks like somebody had a good night.
Mh-hm.
Oh, sorry, Toni, this is Scotty.
Scotty, Toni.
What's up?
Anytime you see that hair looking good,
it's because of me.
Yeah, I know who you are.
Okay, well, I'm gonna need to borrow her.
We got plans.
He's kidding girl.
I will see you later, okay?
Oh, he's a comedian.
Okay, I get it.
You're a funny boy.
Girl, I'll see you later.
Boy, you're stupid.
Bye girl.
What you mean, babe?
We have plans.
We literally just made plans just now.
- We?
- Yeah.
We don't have any plans.
My brother hasn't been
home in a really long time.
I'm having dinner with him.
Yeah, Meatball from prison, right?
Wait, what the f*ck?
I didn't tell you about that.
Tell me what?
About my brother coming out of prison.
Yeah.
Yeah, you did.
You told me in your sleep.
Really?
No one's ever told me that before.
We had a full drawn out
conversation about it.
You don't remember that?
No.
All right look,
have fun with your brothers
and I'll call you later,
- all right?
- Okay.
Come here.
I'll talk to you later, all right?
(gate buzzes)
Didn't think you was gonna show up.
It's good to see you.
Wish I could say the same.
Look, I know I got
some things to make right
but I just paid my debt, Larry.
That's what you owed in there.
What I owe out here?
What you think?
Everything.
Ever since we was kids...
Ever since we was kids what?
You've been f*cking up?
No.
You've been acting all high and mighty.
Nice to see you're still the
same crying bitch you were
when you went in.
f*ck you Larry.
What you gonna to do?
Cry?
Shank me convict?
Right.
How's Lena?
Still dating the wrong guys?
Check.
Working that nursing gig?
Check.
Nightmares?
Yeah.
We gotta go see her.
- We?
- Yeah, me and you.
Look, I know you don't wanna
admit it, Larry, but we family,
whether you like it or not.
What I don't want admit is...
What?
What Larry?
Say it.
I know that you're ashamed
of your little brother,
big bounty hunter,
probably thinking that your little brother
gonna be one of the people
you gotta hunt down.
You're right.
I have been embarrassed,
but not at you, at myself.
What?
It's my fault.
It's my fault you ended up in prison.
I'm your older brother.
It was my job to protect you and Lena.
That's been my burden, my pill to swallow.
I don't know what to say.
That's why I'm so hard on you now.
I don't ever want you
back in that cell again.
Ever.
You hear me?
You cannot, you will not.
I hear you and you're right.
It's 100% your fault I'm
as f*cked up as I am.
Oh my god.
My brother's home.
In flesh baby.
I'm staying home this time.
Let's get out of here.
Yeah before they lock
me the f*ck up again.
Right.
Okay, so no lies, all right.
You did what MaMa Ti'Mun said.
I mean exactly what she said right?
Toni, I was an insane person yesterday.
This whole MaMa Ti'Mun thing
has nothing to do with me.
Nothing to do with your amazing night.
You don't think so?
No, of course not.
Okay, so you didn't add anything in.
You didn't leave anything out, right?
You did exactly what she said, right?
Yes.
To the very last disgusting detail.
(cellphone vibrating)
Oh my god.
Scotty just left and he
keeps blowing up my phone.
Okay look, listen to me.
You remember Iris's boyfriend Dante?
Yeah.
He just got stabbed
to death in the street.
Oh my god.
Yeah.
That's terrible.
You saw him, he was like,
Iris's little puppy dog.
Who would wanna k*ll Dante?
He was so devoted to her too.
Yeah 'cause she did
the spell just like you.
Toni, Voodoo has
nothing to do with Scotty,
me or Dante's death.
You said it yourself.
This was just a way to
focus on your intentions.
Okay.
And you're the one that insisted
on not believing in something
that's right in front
of your eyes, all right.
This is voodoo we're messing with.
Yeah, drink your coffee.
(car door opens, closes)
[Scotty] Hey, hey.
I just wanted to say, have a good day.
I was thinking we could
go away for the weekend.
Let me know what you think
and I'll book us a room.
Look, I know you're busy,
but would it k*ll you
to at least hit me back?
I think I'll come and see
you and brighten your day.
Yeah, that sounds like a plan to me.
Hey, hitting you again.
I feel like I'm being avoided.
It's me again.
Do you have your ring girl?
(cellphone ringing)
Is he still calling you?
That's getting really annoying.
Seriously.
It's this guy I just met.
He's being this obsessive?
I know, right?
All right, now this string.
Yeah, let's go here.
Can you get up that high?
Okay, looks good.
So I finally had to block Scotty.
He was calling me so much,
one of the ER docs basically yelled at me.
I know the spell would make him devoted,
but this is ridiculous.
It's not voodoo, Toni, okay,
something is wrong with his head.
He's crazy.
I'm talking psychotic.
Voodoo.
The car was supposed to be
here with the cake already.
It'll get here, relax, okay?
And looks like my job is done here.
Got all your decorations.
I'm gonna head out so you can just-
- No, no, no, no.
I'm not gonna send you home.
You've been helping me
with everything this far.
You really want me to stay?
I didn't even bring any clothes.
Yeah, please just stay and help me.
All right, I'll hope you get ready.
Okay.
I haven't seen him since I was 17.
Aw, you missed your brother.
Stop it.
Come on, Help me with this.
All right, all right, all right.
(knock at door)
It's open.
(door opens)
Oh my god, Meatball.
Oh my.
- Look at you.
- Damn.
What's up, baby sis?
What's up? What's up?
- How you doing?
- Good, good, good.
Girl, you didn't tell me
your twin brother was so fine.
Which one?
I'm the fine one.
Stop it.
What part of twin don't you understand?
Look at you.
This is crazy.
I mean, you're still a little scrawny.
Shut up.
You ain't much bigger than me.
I mean, come on, he
still got the big head.
He's still leading with the head.
This guy.
Well, come in, come in.
- Is this your spot?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh my god, I missed you so much.
Why didn't you let me
come visit you though?
You know I ain't want
you to see me like that.
Well, this is my best friend, Toni.
Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
Well, come in, come in.
I hope this is good for you, bro.
I mean, yeah, I don't have
a guest room or anything,
so it wasn't that...
He can always stay with me.
I'll be comfortable
right here, but thank you.
I can get used to this spot.
I'm gonna just stay here.
No, you're gonna get your ass up
because I got you your favorite, Filippos.
Oh.
Oh!
That's what's up.
Yo.
I haven't had that in a long time.
Yeah.
(knock on door)
I think this is Instacart with the cake.
Yo, I remember walking three miles
just to get a slice of Filippos pizza.
(tense music)
Scotty.
Babe, I've been calling and calling you.
No response.
I got worried.
Who are you?
Oh, you can sit.
I'm gonna sit too.
Scotty Sharpe.
I'm Lena's man.
What are you doing?
I knew this was a special day for you
and I just wanted to be here to support.
Plus look, I got a gift for your brother
and I gotta admit something to you.
It wasn't that you was
talking in your sleep.
I kind of read your diary last night.
Wait, you did what?
Who the f*ck are you?
You good baby sis?
Yo older brother, chill, all right?
You don't want no part of this.
He wouldn't be alone chief.
Look man, I ain't coming
here for no problems.
I just came here to talk to my girl.
That's all.
Man, get the f*ck out.
Just chill, just sit down.
Let me talk to you.
Let me talk to you.
Just chill.
Toni, can you get this?
Yes.
You gotta go.
Babe, what you talking about?
We're supposed to be together.
No, you popped up
when my brothers is here
and you read my diary?
Babe, I need to know
everything about you.
Okay, okay.
Listen.
No, you have to go.
It was good and it was
great, but this is too much.
- You have to go.
- Are you serious?
You have to go.
She said you gotta go.
What you talking for?
She said go.
There the stage right man.
- Go!
- Get the f*ck out.
Go.
I brought you a gift too, man.
- f*ck your gift.
- Bye.
(door closes)
I told you about getting
in the car with strangers.
(banging on door)
Man, what the f*ck?
I told you leave my sister the f*ck alone.
Delivery for Lena Simon.
My bad man.
It's just the cake.
(tense music)
Hey y'all, you think this is a b*mb?
Man, put that sh*t over there.
What the hell did he mean,
Lawrence couldn't handle him.
His big ass can't handle him.
Right.
I don't know.
Coming in here looking
like a damn server.
What the hell you be doing to these dudes?
That's what I'd like to know.
It's not my fault.
Maybe it's the spaghetti.
(dramatic music)
(indistinct chattering on TV)
(dramatic music)
Leave it.
f*ck you.
Shush, you'll do more damage.
I hit you in two arteries.
So if you pull that Kn*fe
out, you'll bleed out.
It looks like you're having a
problem dialing the number,
let me help you.
Leave me alone, dumb dumb.
You haven't called
me that since I was 10.
That's 'cause I was saving
it for the right time.
So what you want for breakfast?
I don't know.
Something quick and easy.
Just like the women you're used to.
Yeah.
(cellphone chimes)
It's Lawrence.
What is he talking about?
Oh my god.
What?
What?
It's Scotty.
I'm gonna f*cking k*ll him, come on.
Nancy.
My brother?
Lena, I'm so sorry.
But the paramedics tried
every single thing.
He d*ed on his way over here.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Lawrence Simon.
Come on, find him, he's not dead.
You must have got the wrong name.
I'll let you know as soon
as I hear back from them.
No, call 'em, just get my brother.
He didn't, he didn't-
- Lena, Simon, Juan Rodriguez.
I'm homicide and robbery
detective, I want to talk to you.
We know who did it, okay?
You have to go after him right now.
I'm gonna f*cking k*ll him.
I'm gonna f*cking k*ll him.
Slow down.
I'll take it from here, detective.
I haven't seen one of those before.
Well, that's probably a good thing.
We need to talk, come with me.
Wait, who the f*ck are you?
You're Scotty's friend.
What is going on?
Friend is not really
an accurate description.
So let me just say that
I know he's responsible
for this m*rder and I
believe that both of you
are in great danger so please follow me.
No, hold on, my sister's
not going nowhere with you.
I'll protect her.
He would k*ll you in a heartbeat.
What?
Scotty, he's a motivational speaker.
Right.
That's why I need you to follow me.
Lena, what the f*ck is going on?
(dramatic music)
(Toni grunts)
You're not gonna take Lena away from me.
f*ck you.
(Scotty grunts)
Fucker.
(Scotty groans)
Please take a seat.
So tell me what happened.
What did you do?
What are you talking about?
A life change like this
is next to impossible.
Did Scott experience any kind of trauma,
physical or emotional when he was with you?
Nothing.
Unless you're referring
to me dumping his ass.
Tell me more about your relationship.
It started off great.
We were going on dates.
He was taking me to work
and then he just got obsessed.
And then when I wanted to
dump him, he got crazy.
He tried to go after my brothers.
That wouldn't be enough.
What are you talking about?
Why did he k*ll my brother?
What is this about?
What is going on?
I'm not saying anything else,
I'm not giving you any more information
until you tell me what is going on.
You're Lena Simon.
You live at 579 Dourthmuth Street.
Your brother is Samuel Meatball Simon.
He just got out of prison
and he lives with you.
You've been under surveillance.
We've been watching you
ever since you crossed
paths with Scotty Sharpe.
I don't understand.
What I'm about to tell
you is beyond confidential.
It's beyond classified.
If you're able to survive
this interaction with Scotty,
and I mean if, you can't
speak a word about this.
Everything you know about Scotty is a lie.
Anything that he might have told you
is a fabricated fiction.
His real name is Marcellus Gales.
He is what we call a sleeper.
A what?
A sleeper.
When Marcellus joined the Marines,
he tested off the charts
in certain attributes
so he trained with a special detail.
What kind of special detail?
The kind that we don't
like to talk about.
f*ck.
Marcellus is a lethal hunter.
He specialized in wet
works, counterintelligence,
booby traps, poisons.
He became an expert.
What's the problem, officer?
I think you know what the problem is.
He does what he does best.
Put your hands on the car.
Eliminate targets.
(g*n f*ring)
This kind of program is a pressure cooker.
Some people cr*ck.
(g*n f*ring)
Marcellus,
let's just say he couldn't
stop eliminating targets.
So you made him into a k*ller?
We made him into a
machine, one that misfired.
But we have ways of dealing
with these situations.
We wiped his mind and
reformed his personality.
We gave him a new life.
And then you turned up in his life
and he reverted back to his previous self.
So again, I have to ask
you, what did you do?
I didn't know this was gonna happen.
I went to MaMa Ti'Mun.
She did a ritual and she had goat's blood
and she told me to go back
to my place to finish it.
And when I went to finish it, I used blood.
I used my blood.
I used my menstrual blood.
Oh my f*cking god.
No you didn't.
You used your menstrual
blood and fed it to Marcellus?
Technically I strained it
into the spaghetti sauce.
What the f*ck, Lena?
Dating can't be that bad.
A voodoo ritual undoes
what the US government did.
Wait, hold on.
You expect us to believe
that some fake ass magic
made this man a trained k*ller again?
Listen, I just got my GED in prison,
but I know that's bullshit.
You think voodoo was fake?
Lena, tell me you didn't pay for that.
$500.
$500.
I think my sister got
hustled by somebody $499
more than she should have.
Hell yeah, this is bullshit.
You'd be surprised where the truth lies.
In the 1950s and '60s,
the CIA had a secret
program called MK Ultra
where they experimented with mind control
and psychic phenomenon.
They developed the mind wide techniques
that we used on Marcellus.
One of those techniques
included a chemical known as Tetrodotoxin.
It's found in puffer fish venom
(MaMa Ti'Mun chanting)
used to create amnesia, paralysis,
and a number of other things.
That's what MaMa Ti'Mun put in my ritual.
She warned me not to get it in my mouth.
Even a little bit can
get into your system,
into your blood.
And that's how the mind wipe was reversed.
You are the one
who turned him into a f*cking psycho k*ller
and now you don't even know where he is.
Yes?
You sure it's his?
All right.
We found Scott's car.
He's m*rder*d two policemen.
So can we go?
If you want to take a chance
and go out there without
my protection, sure.
But I have to tell you
that Marcellus was able to
access a safe house locker
and he accumulated a number of weapons.
I believe he's coming after you.
At least let me take you to the morgue
so you can see exactly
what we're up against.
Oh my god, I came as
soon as I got your text.
- I'm so sorry.
- I can't believe it.
It doesn't even feel real.
You know Scotty att*cked me at the salon.
- What the f*ck?
- He's gonna pay.
I'm gonna make sure.
Toni Parker, hairdresser.
How the hell does he know that?
He knows everything
about us because of Scotty.
This is becoming quite
the party, come on.
Wait a minute.
You were in the jewelry store and you...
We've been watching you.
What are your findings?
This wasn't a frenzy.
This was an execution made
to look like a frenzy.
Precise cut to the jugular,
puncturing of the femoral artery
This was a precision k*ll with
a wound designed to bleed out
as soon as the w*apon was removed.
Cover it please.
We have an explanation.
Something triggered the
tetrodotoxin response.
So he's remembered
everything he's forgotten.
He's even remembered the
password to the safe house.
(dramatic music)
- sh*t.
- What the f*ck?
That is Marcellus.
You two, spread out.
- Find him.
- Copy.
What's going on?
You three, just stay
right here, right here.
This is the safest place for you.
(tense music)
(Alicia groans)
(Alicia screams)
(g*n cocking)
Hey, what's going on?
What are we doing here?
We're waiting.
He's gonna be coming through that door.
All right, all right.
Patience.
(body thuds)
Hide.
Leah, come on.
sh*t.
Where is he?
Be quiet.
It's poison.
(Toni coughing)
Scotty.
My name is Marcellus
but you already know that.
Marcellus, you know it's
me, it's Doug, it's still me.
Everything we did, we were
trying to protect you.
Protect me?
You turned me into a f*cking assassin.
There's nobody leaving this morgue alive.
(eerie music)
(Lena breathing heavily)
Lena.
Lena.
Lena.
Stay the f*ck away from my family.
Meatball, Meatball, Meatball.
I thought you ran away.
Where's Lena at?
Don't worry about where Lena is,
this is between me and you.
Between me and you. Yeah, you're right.
But you know how this is going to end.
She's mine
and there's nothing
anybody can do about it.
We'll see about that.
Why don't you fight me like a man?
You tough?
I like you.
After seven years, I'm sure
you learned how to fight,
but did you stay out of trouble
by using your ass and your pretty mouth?
(Meatball groans)
You got heart, I'll give you that.
I just wish you would've
behaved yourself man.
I would've let you live.
Instead...
(Meatball screams)
How about that?
f*ck you.
You sound just like your brother.
Babe, what are you doing?
We're meant to be together.
Can't you see?
Lena.
(Lena yells)
You sound like a bitch.
(Scotty screams)
(Lena grunts)
So now that that's over, guys,
why don't we get something to eat?
I could hook you up with some meatball.
I could take some meatball.
Just hope there's spaghetti.
Too soon?
Yeah, too soon.
My bad.
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music)
(eerie music)
(Scotty gasps)
Yeah, we could take it back to the crib
Right after the party
She heading back to her kids
One text and we're
back where we started
She gave me one touch
But this was never a
part of the hush-hush
Keep our sneaky link up on the down low
Looking for some dirt and
thought you found more
When you gon' realize
you dug your own finish
Finished off yourself
girl now you're done for
I don't need you messaging no essay
I just need you pulling
that like it was no decision
How the f*ck I got you
so high and so interested
Girl, I just wanna tell you

That ain't gotta mean I take
back what I said from before
Girl I just gotta walk my path
Nobody else is gonna walk my path
Oh, walking, walking, yeah, walking
I just hope you try to see
the other side of things
The things I found when
I'm walking my place
Walking my place, yeah
Just know
You don't gotta hit it like that
Because take your sh*t my
words gonna hit right back
Like the way your eyes
tracking my lips like that
But how the f*ck you
thought I'd just forget like that
With the maturity, oh baby
Always the youngest but she matured
See, she grew up aggressive
and that's until she blew it
All I need in this
life is you to pull up
No hesitation, tired
of the could've been
If it should've been, it would've been
I don't mind to keep it on a low key
You and I, we'll keep on a hush-hush
Keep our sneaky link up on the down low
Looking for some dirt and
thought you found more
When you gon' realize
you dug you own finish
Cuffed your own self,
girl you're done for
I don't need you messaging no essay
I just need you pulling
up like it was no decision
Like how the f*ck I got
you high and so interested
Too far in because

Sure, I'll admit girl I'm dangerous
That ain't gotta mean that we wasted
That ain't gotta mean I take
back what I said from before
So baby, I just gotta walk my path
Nobody else is gonna
walk my path for me

And I just hope you try to

The things I found when
I'm walking, walking my place
