Y'all think this is a joke?

It's not a joke, okay?
This n*gga's gonna k*ll me.

and told me answer the phone,

I answered, and it was Horace.

Damn.

Well, yeah. Yep, that was Horace.

[exhales]

This n*gga's gonna k*ll me.

Chile, if he wanted you dead,

You traitor-a*s m*therf*cker.
I don't even know what's gotten into you.

I'm sorry, sir.

Yeah, whatever.

[thunder rumbling]

[birds chirping]

What?

Nothing, ma'am.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I just wanted to see
if you needed anything.

[tense music playing]

I can feel you judging me.

No, that's… That's not it at all, ma'am.

No judgment.

I can actually help you if you'd like.

Help me do what?

Well, I could teach you
the proper etiquette for your cutlery.

So you are judging me.

No, ma'am. Just… Just trying to help.

Help?

Well, this family
can be quite hard on newcomers.

I appreciate you trying to help me,

but I got this sh*t.

Yes, ma'am.

Let me ask you somethin'.

What's your job exactly?

To serve at the pleasure of the Bellaries.

Okay.

I never have to return his phone call.

Then I expect the same damn courtesy.

We clear?

[Varney] Sorry, ma'am.

I'll do better.

I need to know if the will is done.

It should be done today.

"Should be" is not done.

[Varney] I'll make sure

Will you just leave?

Look, you don't get your leg

That man is an old-school pimp, okay?

-You can't play them type of games.
-Yeah, I see that.

I tried to warn you. You don't listen.

You didn't tell me
he was gonna do that sh*t.

[groans] n*gga, you are ruining my zen.
Do you see how I'm dressed?

[shuddering] This sh*t is crazy, yo.

Has he called you?

[voice shaking] No. No.

Well, you need to think of something.

Well, what should I say?

[scoffs] Angel…

You know I'm not into this sh*t.

I don't know what to say
to this m*therf*cker.

You knew what to say to me and Kimmie
to get us to take drugs on a plane.

Y'all females. It's easy to play y'all.
I don't know… I do that all--

Nah, keep talking, n*gga.

Look, I don't know what to say
to this old-a*s n*gga.

Well, what would you say
to your baby mama?

That sh*t isn't gonna work.

This is a man, okay? Totally different.

Well, I'm running out of options. sh*t.

[cell phone ringing]

-sh*t.
-[gasps]

Oh my God, is that him?

[ominous music playing]

-Really, Rain?
-Put it on speaker. Let me hear.

[Angel] Hello?

I see you've learned to answer your phone.

I… I tried calling you a few times.

Yeah, yeah, because you… you were scared.

[Angel] No.

You weren't?

I… I am, but I… I wanted to talk to you.

We got nothin' to talk about.

[Angel] Okay, well, can you
just listen to me for a second, please?

You and I never talked about
what we had, right?

So I didn't know
what I could and I couldn't do.

So you go and do that.

I didn't know
I was doing anything wrong, okay?

I'm… I'm young and I'm stupid.

[Horace] Yes, you are.

It won't happen again.

What about all of my damn money?

I'll, uh…

I'll… I'll make it up to you.

And how you gonna do that?

I'll, uh…

I'll, uh, I'll let you do whatever
you want to me, okay? Whatever.

You're scared I'mma
throw you out to the wolves.

[Angel] No, Horace, please.

You know me.
You know how much you like me.

n*gga, I already told you.
I can get 50 more of you.

Okay, but there's none like me, a'ight?

I'll… I'll make it up to you.

[shuddering] I swear
I'll do whatever you ask, okay?

[sinister music playing]

Hello?

Yo, stop that sh*t, okay? He hung up!

f*ck.

[chuckling] That was weak as hell.

That n*gga's gonna k*ll me!

You'll be all right.
Just think of something.

What the f*ck you mean
"think of something"? Really?

Oh. There's my car. I'm meeting Giovanni.
You'll figure it out.

You're gonna leave me here?

You'll be okay. You a grown-a*s man.

And don't leave either.

sh*t!

Watch Sylvie. I mean it.

All right, whatever.

-I mean it this time.
-Okay, I'm not leaving here.

Just f*ck' go.

[cell phone buzzing]

f*ck!

Hello? Hello?

[woman] Hi.

We're calling to ask
would you like to order a new--

f*ck.

[horses neighing]

f*ck!

[cell phone ringing]

Hello?

[Varney] Mallory.

How are you this morning?

[Mallory] I'm fine.

I'm so sorry about last night.

[Mallory] It's fine.

What's going on?

[Varney] I got some
solid information last night

that I need to run by you and only you.

What kind of information?

The kind I don't wanna
talk about on the phone.

Varney…

[Varney] See you at the office.

Come on now, tell me something.

It's about Jules, the club,

some other things
that I need your help to process.

Okay.

It's also about Kimmie and Rain.

What about them?

There's a lot more to their story.

Everybody has a lot more to their story.

I think they're victims in this.

How the f*ck is Kimmie a victim
if she's f*cking my husband?

Mallory, I think
you might wanna take things slow.

Why?

Just until you hear what I have to say.

Okay.

[Varney] I'll be in in a bit.

Bye.

[sighs]

[upbeat music playing]

Did I tell you to put
your head back in this car?

No.

And hurry the f*ck up.

[siren wailing in distance]

Just the person I wanted to see.

Mm. Well, you're not who I wanted to see.

[tense music playing]

How are you?

Miserable looking at you.

Can I take your bag?

You can't take sh*t.

Officer Alex, leave us.

Officer Alex, stay with me.

Who you gonna listen to?

Yeah, Alex,

who you gonna listen to?

Ma'am, I'm--
I'm sorry, this is a little difficult.

Ticktock.

Ticktock.

I'm just kidding.

How's your son, Jules?

Not good.

Well maybe you should go
to the hospital and be with him.

I'm going back.

I just wanted to

just be here to…

to look at you.

Mm. Hm.

Well, now you have.

-Yes, I have.
-[footsteps approaching]

May I take your coats, ma'am?

Thank you.

-My purse--
-May I take your bag?

Yes, please.

Is there anything else you ladies need?

-No.
-No.

Mallory, I need to see you.

And what's this about?

I don't know.

I'm not in the mood for this bullshit.

Heard about the fire.

You ain't seen nothing yet.

Sure you don't need to go?

f*ck that b*tch.

So how are you?

Not doing too well.

How's your son?

You heard about that?

Yeah.

Do you know what happened?

Oh, he fell, right?

I think there's a little more
to it than that.

Well, if there's more to it,
I'm sure you'll find out.

Yes, I will.

Mallory, I don't like to be kept waiting.

What you gonna do?

I'm about to f*ck this b*tch world up.

What?

No "good morning"?

Do you have one for me?

Look…

I've been looking over the things
that you've done for the company.

And as much as I hate to admit it…

you know what you're doing.

Why do you hate to admit it?

'Cause I wanna hate you.

Why?

Really?

I mean, you were the one
f*cking my husband.

Shouldn't I be mad at you?

What?

Yeah, I know.

And if it wasn't for you
marrying my father-in-law,

which I still don't understand,

I was about to unleash all hell on you.

Well, damn.

Yeah.

Okay.

Now we're actually talking.

I thought we been talking.

[scoffs]

We have not been talking.

You've been pretending to like me,
and I know you can't stand me.

I can't stand the b*tch
that was f*cking my husband.

One of many.

And I think you were like number 74.

But I really don't give a sh*t.

So if you wanna talk real talk,
let's talk real talk.

-Let's do it.
-You wanna do it?

Yeah.

This company,

right here,

would have gone down years ago
if it wasn't for me.

And this bullshit family

and all these tricks that they're doing
to make money on the side.

So you don't do that?

I'm honest.

Somehow I doubt that.

I don't give a f*ck what you doubt.

Ooh!

You on one today.

I'm not on one, I am the one.

Does this have anything to do with you
setting your house on fire last night?

Girl, were you trying to die?

[chuckles]

Look…

I don't know how else to say this to you
for you to understand it,

but I don't want Roy.

I never wanted Roy.

Oh really?

No.

-Hm.
-I was forced to be with him.

Wait, forced? What do you mean, forced?

Forced like Felicia is being with him.

How is Felicia forced?

Oh.

"Oh"?

You don't know everything.

Enlighten me.

I think I've shared enough for today.

Think you should go ahead and process it,

and, uh, we'll finish another time.

Why not now?

Because the sh*t that I'll share with you

will have you lose all the cool
that you're trying to hang onto.

You don't know me.

What I have to share with you

will make you blow that lace front
clean off your head.

This is my hair.

[scoffs] Girl…

Under the wig.

Leave.

[unsettling music playing]

[door opens and shuts]

[Jules] This is Jules.

I got eyes on her.

[Jules] Who?

Young chick from the club.

[Jules] Where is she?

At this motel in Cicero.
Man, it stinks over here.

[Jules] Okay. Bring her to me.

Hey, uh, I know she in one of these rooms.

I'm just waiting on them to come out
and I'm… and I'mma ambush they a*s.

[Jules] Okay, great.

Get to it.

All right.

[exhales sharply]

So…

looks like we have to make
a tough decision.

I'm so sorry.

There's no brain activity at all?

I'm so sorry, no.

[somber music playing]

So I'mma have to take my 18-year-old son…

off life support?

I wish there was something more
we could do.

But you have done
everything that you can do?

Yes, sir.

Okay.

Just let me know when you're ready.

Okay.

[sighs]

[sighs]

[line ringing]

[cell phone ringing]

-[sirens wailing in distance]
-[dog barking]

[Jules] Trackson.

Yeah.

Gonna have to take my son
off life support.

Man, damn, man,
I'm sorry to hear that, Jules.

Sorry to hear that.

[Jules] Tell me…

what you got for me?

I'm just sitting here
at this motel, man. Uh…

I think the young chick did it, man.

Okay.

[exhales]

[ventilator beeping]

[Sylvie] I'm so sorry.

What are you so sorry about?

[dramatic sting]
