-Are you jealous? -Read it.
What would this be?
All of the things I have on you over the years.
I have a file, too.
It appears our destruction will be mutual.
You were going on a date.
We're going to the doctor.
For what?
Find out why you're not showing.
We have a problem.
What is it?
They matched the bullets from Amanda's body
to Jennifer sallison. -What did you say?
There's a guy sitting on your right side with a computer.
I need you to take as many photos
of that screen as possible.
Priors, account numbers.
I got you.
-What information do you have? -He bought a house.
He bought her house?
This woman...
I want to hear about this plan. Have a drink.
One drink only.
Tequila, please.
Got anything harder than that?
��
You bought her a house.
You bought her a house?
If you don't leave, I'll call the police.
Call the damn police. You bought her a house?
Get out of here now.
This is my house.
This is the one I wanted. This is the one I said I wanted.
Erica, call the police.
Yes, Erica, here, use my phone.
I'm going to go get my phone so you can call the police.
Erica, go inside now. Call the police.
Erica, please call the police so that
I can talk to my husband.
"Erica, Erica." Look how you say her name.
You should go now.
This is my house.
I don't want to see or talk to you.
You're gonna see me and you're gonna talk to me a lot.
Mnh-mnh.
I-i don't believe this.
I remember when i brought you here.
I remember when I brought you to this house.
Is that how you found me?
I will always find you, David.
You can't get rid of me that easily.
Don't you come here ever again.
-Don't come here? -Yeah.
-Are you serious? -You heard me.
Don't come here.
Don't come to my house?
Woman, I am not doing this with you.
You're doing it with me.
You're doing it, and you're doing it right now.
No, no, get out of here now.
Go.
-I'm coming back. -Don't come back.
I'm coming back. I'm coming back.
Go now.
I remember when i brought you here,
and I told you how much I loved this house
and you said, "we can't afford it, Veronica.
We can't afford it," and you bought it
and you have her up in it.
You bought this house and you have a whore
living in my house! -Damn it, Veronica!
-This is my house! -No, it's not your house.
This is my house!
This is not your house!
This is my -- oh!
You're beating me!
You're beating me, you're beating me!
He's beating me!
You are violating your restraining order.
You need to leave now.
And you continue to humiliate me.
And Maggie day, Jim cryer, you're always embarrassing me.
-Oh, damn it, Veronica. -And now you have a whore!
A whore in my house!
Will you leave?!
I have had enough of you.
You have had enough of me?
Are you serious? You have our son in jail.
Why he's guilty.
Guilty?
Are you going to talk to me about guilty?
Yes, I am.
You have a hell of a lot more to lay on the line than he does.
Oh, is that the path we're walking down now?
That's where we're going? That's what you want?
Because if that's what you want, mother...
We can lay it all on the line.
We can lay all this shit on the line.
I'll tell everything I know.
That's what you want to do?
All right, let's do it.
Let's lay it all on the line.
Let's do it.

is that what you want?
What I want...
Is to never see you again as long as I live.
Well that may be sooner than you think.
What are you going to threaten me?
David, you have known me so many years.
You know that I don't threaten.
I know that you put our son in jail for murder.
Well...
What is wrong with you?
Everything is wrong with me.
I'm sane and I'm crazy all at the same time.
I don't know, but you keep asking what's wrong with me
and you don't give a damn what's wrong with your own son.
There is nothing wrong with jeffery.
Oh, so you're still walking on the dark side?
Oh, god, will you get out of here with that?
You know what's wrong with him?
He likes men.
That's what's wrong with him.
That's wrong, David! -Veronica, leave now!
I am not leaving.
-Damn it, just go. Just -- -touch me, touch me.
Touch me, please.
I will light this neighborhood up.
Touch me. -Oh, good. Good.
They'll arrest you 'cause the police are on their way.
This bitch is in my house.
You know what? You really should get some help --
don't say a damn thing to me. Don't say a damn thing to me.
The police are on their way.
You might want to call an ambulance.
Call an ambulance. -I really should.
-Erica, go inside. -Why?
Why, I'm not scared of her.
Don't talk to her, please, just go inside.
Listen to your lover boy.
You know what? This and this is ridiculous.
Yeah, she's right.
This is ridiculous.
-Yeah. -And you are ridiculous.
David, David. David!
Please, don't walk away from me.
David, please, don't do this, please.
I made you.
I put in all the work.
It's because of me that you can live like this.
I made you.
And you want to throw me away for a whore.
I made you.
You were nothing before me,
and you will be nothing without me.
��
I promise you that.
��
Is she gone?
Yeah, she's leaving.
What the hell was this?
I am sorry.
-You're sorry? -Yes.
David, I cut my foot.
Baby, I'm -- look, I'm sorry.
That doesn't matter now. You're sor--
I don't think I can do this.
Oh, what does that mean?
You know what it means?
I-i-i don't like drama.
I don't like drama, and this is too much.
Baby, I'm sorry. It'll be okay, all right?
-It'll be okay? -I'll take care of it.
No, I'm not used to it.
You're not -- your ex was abusive.
-Yeah. -So you know what this is like.
No, actually, I don't because he was abusive,
but not like this. And you know what?
Maybe that's why I don't want to be a part of this because --
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that.
I will take care of Veronica. -I'm s--
-i will. -Oh, you're sure?
Yes, you're not gonna be a part of this.
Well, I would have thought if you could take care of her,
you would have done it by now, David.
I can.
I will take care of her.
Do you love her?
I am being patient with her.
Why? Look at her.
Because I am.
She broke a window.
I know. I will replace it.
Oh, you're gonna replace it.
You know she's gonna come back, right?
She'll break another window.
And when she does, i will be ready.
Okay?
Just calm down.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
All right.
- Okay, I just -- - i will handle this.
I've just gone through so much.
-I know. -My ex.
I understand.
I get it, and I'm sorry.
Okay, just breathe, relax.
We will get through this.
Okay, let me hold you.
-Sorry. -It's okay.
How can you be so calm?
I'm, like...
It's okay. It's gonna be okay.
��
-you like? -I think so.
It just doesn't feel like me. -You look beautiful.
-Benny. -Yeah?
What do you think?
-What the -- -oh, stop. Now, how do I look?
You ain't wearing that.
Why not?
Because you are my mama.
Oh, boy, hush.
And where do you think you're going?
I have a date.
-A date with what? -Stop.
Look, now, answer the question for real.
How do I look?
You don't look like my mama
with this face full of makeup, tight dress,
you got this wig from the '70s.
Didn't you wear that for Halloween?
You know what? I know it's hard for you to believe,
but I was a woman before I was your mama.
Who is it?
Mnh-mnh. Don't you go to that door.
I want to know who it is.
-I'll get it. -Who is it?
-Thank you, Kim. -Hey, who is it?
Boy, shh.
Mom, this dress is too tight. This hair is too long.
-Boy. -What?
Don't touch it. It might come out.
-Mama, I don't like this look. -Shh!
-Who's here? -Oh, my god. I am so nervous.
For what?
You look beautiful.
Thank you.
And who are you?
Oh, hey, I'm, uh, Derek.
And where you come from?
Benny, act like you got some manners.
I don't know this dude.
Please forgive him, Derek.
Derek.
Derek, this is my rude son, Benjamin.
If you are ready to go, i am ready.
Are you? -Yeah.
-Thank you. -Mnh-mnh.
Nah, you ain't -- you ain't going nowhere with my mama.
Please forgive him.
Bye, Benny. -I'm being serious.
Bye, Benjamin.
Who is this dude, and where do you think you're going?
I am grown, remember?
Can I have my space to handle my personal business?
You tell me, I'll tell you.
Goodnight Benjamin.
Thank you, ladies.
Doesn't she look beautiful?
Mnh-mnh.
No, you're going to need to clean that stuff up.
I got to leave.
Guard! Where's my dad? What's --
what is this? Why -- why am I in here?
Guard!
Hello.
I said hello.
So we haven't learned yet that when I say hello
you say...
Never mind.
How are you?
What kind of question is that?
It's a simple one, son.
What, are you slow?
Is your brain not working?
I'm not doing that.
I didn't think you would be.
You really have me locked up in here.
In prison.
No, son.
Then what am i doing here?
This...Is not prison.
This is jail.
And as bad as this is, prison is 1,000 times worse.
And they're gonna love you in there --
your smooth, buttery skin, and those lips?
Honey child, they're gonna love you.
You got to be the worst mother in the world.
No, i am a wonderful mother.
A mother who's disappointed that her son
has more feminine genes than male.
I'm not feminine.
Well, something's got you running after the boys.
Look, I just want to get out of here.
Well, it's too late for that.
I told you to stay away from that girl, didn't I?
And I told you to come home, but where were you?
I didn't come home.
No, you didn't, but you didn't answer the question, either.
And where were you?
At the hotel with him.
Where were you?
I was at the hotel with him.
You need to figure out who you were with, son.
Where were you?
I was at the hotel.
With?
Him.
Her.
Say it.
Now, where were you, son?
I was at the hotel with her.
That's it. Very good.
Now, I warned you, didn't I?
Yes, you did.
And this is what happens when you don't heed my warning.
Great, I get the lesson.
Now can I come home?
Will you be the husband, father, and man
that I have told you to be?
Yes.
Are you sure?
Yes, yeah.
And you will not see that...
You will not see that girl again?
Look at me.
Hmm? You will not see that thing again?
No, I won't.
Good.
That's good.
Can I come home now?
I don't know.
What do you mean you don't know?
This is the court system.
You're in here on some very serious charges.
Mom, come on, I'm --
I'm -- I need --
I need to get out of here.
What? I --
you know, I have never wanted to raise a child
that would wind up in jail,
much less a black male in the system.
This isn't what I want, but you forced my hand.
After all this,
now you're telling me you can't get me out of here?
No, I can't.
This is real.
But you put me in here.
You're in the system now, son.
And why did you put me in here?
Do we have to go over all that again?
Did you think i was kidding with you?
Okay, okay, okay, I'm sorry.
Okay, okay.
So you're -- you're still gonna leave me here?
Yes, dear.
I'll work on it, okay?
You'll be okay.
I'll be in touch, okay?
Jeffery...
...i love you.
I do.
Don't you love me?
Look at me, son.
Don't you love me?
Yes, mom, I love you.
I know. It's gonna be okay.
This is the best place for you.
��
hey, girl.
I see you know your name.
Do you know your name?
Hmm, what's that?
Bitch.
Oh,
that's so original.
I've never been called that before.
Well, it suits you quite well.
Yes.
Sometimes, I rather like it.
I'm sure you do.
So, you still work here?
I do. Why do you ask?
Well, we got a little videotape running.
Mm, I heard you were in an accident.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
I heard your video was on the Internet.
You okay?
I'm fine.
Good.
Yeah, you made sure of that.
No, that wasn't me.
It was probably some of your buddies in blue around here.
You know they frown on that type of thing.
Good old boy network.
Yeah, so, uh, what happened?
I lost control of my car.
Oh, you did?
You sure something didn't make you lose control?
And why would you say that?
Oh, I was just wondering.
Mm.
See, I think you're implying that it was you
that ran me off the road.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I think you do.
A part of me thinks that it was you.
But the woman in me thinks that you're too much
of a little bitch to do anything like that,
that a mere princess would come after the queen.
See, you girls are gonna realize that I am the real queen,
not you.
Do you think you bother me?
Admit it.
I get under your skin.
And I get under your son's skin.
It's just you and me here.
Why don't you admit that you were the one
that ran me off the road?
Mrs. harrington, I'm an officer of the law.
I would never do such a thing.
Well, officer lady girl, how's your wife?
Hmm?
Oh, man, the look on her face when she saw that video.
She was so shocked.
I don't know why she was shocked.
I knew you were a girl when I first met you,
but she was shocked.
How is she?
How's your husband?
He's fine.
I'm sure he is
now that he's traded in his grandma
for a young, sexy, beautiful woman.
Okay, girlfriend.
When jeffery and i are on the pillow,
he tells me everything, because we're lovers.
Oh, now you're quiet.
Yeah, actually, when he gets out,
we're moving in together.
No, look at me.
Do you got a housewarming gift for us?
Look at me.
Mm.
Guess what?
Girl, you don't ever have to worry about that happening,
'cause jeffery will never get out of here.
Do you want to bet on that?
You know something i don't?
I damn sure do.
Hmm, I'd like to see it.
��
I'm a little shy.
Excuse me?
No, I don't mean like that.
I mean, you know, you're a -- you're a natural beauty.
Yeah. Fix it.
No, seriously.
I mean, you're naturally beautiful.
I mean, you know you're stunning, right?
Thank you.
So, uh,
I didn't know we were dressing up.
Yeah, I started to ask you why you were wearing a suit.
Okay, she told me.
- Katheryn? - Mm.
I guess she told you I was getting all dolled up too, huh?
Yeah.
Well, that's why I canceled the other places.
You didn't have to do that.
Mm, I wanted to.
Wait till I call her.
No, no, no, no.
Then I wouldn't have got to see you like this.
Well, man, you better take a picture
or quick snap it or something like that
'cause i-i can't keep all this up.
Well, it's nice to know that you can.
You sure you think I'm a natural beauty?
Yes, sorry.
Thank you.
So you don't drink?
I'll have a beer every now and then.
Okay, well, let's get you a beer.
Oh, no.
This is not a beer place.
Okay, uh, let's get you a glass of wine, then.
Okay. I don't know very much about wine.
Well, a sauvignon would be nice.
Okay.
You know what?
What?
I think I'd like a Pinot.
Wait a minute.
You said you didn't know anything about wine.
I don't. I just always hear rich people say that,
and I wanted to say it.
Okay, a Pinot it is then.
Which one? Pinot gris or Pinot noir?
We'll get you a Pinot noir.
Thank you.
Can we get a Pinot noir, please?
What about you?
Oh, i-i don't drink.
You don't?
No.
Well, then maybe I shouldn't.
-No, no, no, you should. -Mm.
No, no, go ahead.
So, uh, you were her maid?
-Katheryn? Yeah. -Yeah.
And I'm gonna go back to work for her, too.
O-okay.
So, you like doing that?
It's an honest living.
Ain't nothing wrong with making an honest living.
Tell me about it.
It's all I want to do, you know, is make an honest living.
It means a lot.
Yeah.
I don't think too many kids today get that.
Nah, I know what you mean.
Yeah, they want it quick,
but they don't want to work for it.
Yeah. Wait. You talking about your son?
Oh, lord, no.
No, Benny works his butt off.
That baby has a strong work ethic.
Yeah, that's good.
He also has a strong dislike for me.
He's a boy being a boy.
He shouldn't even be worried about me.
He needs to be figuring out some things for his self.
Like what?
Listen, it's a lo-o-o-ng story.
All I'll say is, I love my kids, but they are a handful.
I thought it would get easier as they got older,
but it just gets harder.
Yeah, trust me, I get it.
You got kids?
Yeah, I got three kids in college.
Oh, that's good.
I mean, it was a struggle getting them there,
but we got it done.
And mom?
Yeah, she was a good woman.
How'd you meet her?
On a trip to havana.
Oh, she's cute, then.
Yeah.
Miss her?
Yeah.
I'm with you tonight.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to bring it up.
Trust me.
I know how hard grief can be.
Yeah.
And that's why when we finish dinner, we're going dancing.
I'm sorry. What?
Yeah.
I'm going home.
Nah, no, no, no, come on now.
I mean, you've had enough sadness lately.
All right? We're going dancing.
I know a really nice place.
I like dancing.
I haven't been dancing in a while.
Neither have I, and that's why we're going.
Okay. Good music?
I know a perfect spot.
Okay.
Actually sounds like fun.
It will be.
I better not eat too much.
-Hey. -Hey.
Come on in.
��
-is Veronica here? -No.
No?
Sorry.
Did she say when she was coming back?
No, she didn't.
Hmm.
Okay.
We -- we should talk.
No, we don't -- we don't need to be talking.
We should talk about yesterday.
Look, about yesterday,
I'm -- I'm really sorry that it even happened.
All right, I'm a man, and you put it out there, you know.
What do you think? I'm upset?
I don't even know what to think.
It was the best time I'd had in a long time.
You mean it was the best you had.
You could do better.
Yeah, okay.
Where are you going?
I came here for Veronica.
She's not here. I'm not waiting here.
You should wait for her.
Nah, I don't--
come on. Stay.
I don't think so. I got to go.
Do I turn you on that much?
No, I just don't think it's a good idea.
Yeah, I turn you on.
Look, I got to go, all right?
I don't even know why this woman
would send me a text message and not be here,
I got too much to do.
I don't know.
I sent the text.
Excuse me?
Yeah.
No, the text came from her phone.
I know, I texted you from her phone when she put it down.
Why?
Because I wanted to finish what we started.
No, I don't think so.
-You don't think? -Nah.
You can't be attracted to her.
Look...
Melissa.
Are you attracted to her?
��
-I'm gonna go. -You sure about that?
No, come -- don't do -- don't do this.
Don't worry.
Don't get me involved in this.
I'm just trying to get you into some fun.
This isn't a good situation.
It is, and you know it.
��
you sure you don't want to?
Hmm?
��
Yeah, I know.
Hey, hey, she's gonna come back any minute.
She won't be back for a few hours.
We'll hear the alarm.
She gonna see my car.
Shh!
��
Wow!
You forgot.
Well, you made me remember.
It's always good to remember.
Yes, it is.
So, you ready to be first lady?
You really think i could do this, huh?
Are you kidding me?
Sitting in the White House is not what it used to be.
Yeah, I know.
So?
Sighs ] I have to think about it.
Listen, you marry this guy.
You sit in the White House for four or eight years,
you write a book,
you do some deals with Hollywood,
next thing you know, you are gonna be so rich.
You think so?
Yeah.
Hmm.
What if I didn't want to wait that long to get rich?
Candace, play the long game.
There's no such thing as getting rich quick.
Well, I did.
What, you talking about the $4 million?
- Mm-hmm. - That was nothing.
Nothing to you.
I'm talking big money.
I don't mind starting with small money if it's millions.
Come on. This will be the one that we both retire on.
Hmm.
How will you make money off of it?
On the other end.
My group pays me very, very well.
Oh, okay.
��
So you in?
No, I -- i don't think so.
Oh, come on.
I don't know.
Look, there's no way for you to get millions now.
That's done. You got to let it go.
Mm, think I can.
Now?
Yeah.
How?
Well...
Candace.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm -- wait. Wait, wait, ugh.
Just feeling a little bit lightheaded.
Yeah?
Candace, what did you do?
Did you put something in my drink?
Mm-hmm.
Damn it, Candace.
Sleep, relax.
What?
Why would you do that?
I want my money.
Then just wait.
Just...Wait.
You'll -- you'll sleep for a long time.
-Candace. -You'll be up by noon tomorrow.
What the hell did you do?!
- Sleep.
What -- what did you say, baby?
Candace, wait, Candace.
��
Oscar?
Okay.
��
Your password is...
Changes to cryer company.
Oh.
There you go.
Artesian bar.
It's me.
Yeah.
Hey, i got something cooking.
Okay, I'm all ears.
Keep an eye on my girl,
but if this works out, you won't have to run another whore.
Wow, what is it?
I can't tell you that.
Okay, but, hey, my shift ends really soon,
so r.K. Will be here.
That kid?
He's not a kid. I've been teaching him the ropes.
He's got it.
But, listen, if I need something
he better be able to handle it.
-He will. -Okay.
Call you later. -Okay.
��
what the hell is going on here?
-Hey. -"Hey"?
"Hey"?
Is that what you have to say to me? "Hey"?
Uh, yeah.
Shh!
What are you doing?
What's going on?
Look, I just -- i thought you were here.
I thought you called me.
What the hell are you doing in my house?
Look I was just --
I know what you were just doing.
I could see what you were just doing, Benjamin.
Look, she put it out there, you know?
Get out.
Mrs. harrington --
get out of my house.
Shut up. Why are you laughing?
This is hilarious.
You think so?
Yeah. Aren't you witnessing it?
Okay, that's it. I've had it with you.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
He didn't want your old ass.
No.
Apparently, he wants your dumb ass.
Dumb?
Yes, you are dumb.
You allowed me to manipulate you.
You allowed your mother to manipulate you.
You are stupid.
You are a fool, little girl.
But I'm going to show you a grown woman's game.
Yo, whoa!
Let me at her!
Stop. Relax! Relax!
Can you believe what he paid for this place?
Mm-hmm, yes I can.
Oh, come on. No, you can't.
No, I can.
Really, so you would do it?
No, I wouldn't, but he's his fathers son.
Come on, katheryn, I would never do anything this stupid.
Yeah, like I said, he's his father's son.
Are you suggesting that I'm not?
I'm suggesting there's a lot of things you're not.
Oh, katheryn, my god.
Not a lot of brains on your side of the family.
Tell me exactly what you would do without me.
Did you just say that?
Did I stutter?
I'd tell you one thing, I'd be a lot happier --
a hell of a lot happier.
-Really? -Mm-hmm.
I'm your temperament, katheryn.
Without me you'd be wandering around the world somewhere,
completely out of control, and you know it.
Don't count on it,
'cause I'd be free from all this foolishness,
somewhere in the arms of a Latin lover.
A better question, Jim,
is where would you be without me?
I have no idea, katheryn,
but I guarantee you the woman on my arm
would have the biggest --
just say it so I can slap the shit out of you.
Oh, those were the days.
Why don't you sit down and relax?
Huh? -Fine.
You know, if he were clean,
this is exactly the way I'd see him living.
We've been here for hours, Jim.
When's he gonna get here?
I don't know, katheryn. I don't have a crystal ball.
Well, maybe I should just call him?

I have a plan.
Well, will it work?
Just relax, okay?
Trust me. I'll take care of it.
