Deadly Entanglement (2023) - full transcript

How was that?

That was amazing.

I mean, I was just trying to
do some justice to the song.

Who sings the demo?

It doesn't matter.

This song has been
waiting for your voice.

It's time to let
the world hear it.

Yeah.

He shoots.

He shoots.

He's scores!



Tammy.

Sorry, I couldn't help it.

You're so cute.

I'm putting it away.

Dinner is ready.

Oh, just a few more shots.

Steph Curry shoots
300 shots a day.

And that's just after
practice, so I gotta do it.

Well does Steph Curry have a
science project due tomorrow?

Dad.

Jay, listen to your mother.

Fine.

Whatever.

Well, we've been through
this over and over again.



Why do we keep going
back and forth?

Jay is happy here.

I don't care.

No, no.

We-

Let me call you back.

What's going on?

Deidra wants full
custody of Jay.

Well?

She makes a few valid points.

Pam.

Looks like she's
completed parenting classes.

Steady job and her own place.

And it's true, you both
have a hectic schedule.

Plus you moved twice
in three years.

So?

A lot of people have
hectic schedules

and people move, so what?

It means that Jay had
to change schools twice.

And what I see, she's not
attacking you, Charles.

Her claim is Jay needs a mother.

I can have a petition
filed in with the court

by close of business today.

No, no courts.

All right, she sent me a
personal letter for a reason.

She's up to something.

The press finds out that there's
a custody battle brewing,

We need other options.

Charles, you do know
that I don't work for you?

You married my sister.

I'm only trying to help.

Pam, please.

He's sorry.

What are our options?

Reason with her.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, miss, miss.

Excuse me, miss, excuse me?

Excuse me, miss.

- Deidra, Deidra.
- Excuse me?

Hello?

♪ You and I you and I

Deidra.

Deidra, what are you doing?

"You and I" will
be released tomorrow

and every urban black radio
station in the country

will be picking it up.

Tammy, did you hear
what I just said?

She should have been here
30 minutes ago, Charles.

This is just her way
of defining the terms.

All right, it's what she does.

How could you be so
calm about all of this?

Well, because you're
nervous enough for both of us.

Look, now I'm open
to many things,

but giving up my son
is not an option.

I know we agreed to
leave our past in the past,

but what happened
between you and Deidra?

Deidra.

Charles.

Where's Jay?

He has this little
basketball ritual

he's obsessed with these days.

I mean, I can go get him.

That's right,
the Steph Curry thing.

He told me about it.

No, it's fine.

I think we need to talk.

Okay.

I was hoping that
we could speak alone,

'cause what needs to be said

shouldn't be said in front
of um, mixed company.

Whatever we need to talk about

can be said in front of Tammy.

Charles, it's okay.

You guys should talk.

So we're alone
just like you wanted.

Let's talk.

Uh.

You seem to have done
pretty well for yourself

since our divorce.

Can't help but wonder
if our little breakup

inspired some of these hits.

Deidra.

Kidding.

I am.

You're a great producer.

That's why I fell
in love with you.

But you married a star.

She's not me, but she's
a star nonetheless.

Look, I thought you
wanted to talk about Jay.

We are talking about Jay.

I've been doing better,

and so now I think it's time

for me to be the mother
Jay needs me to be.

And that's why I'm allowing
you to spend time with Jay.

Now after the hospital
discharged you,

I knew it was important
for Jay to see his mother,

but why full custody?

I mean, his life is stable.

I'm his mother and I
know what's best for him.

Then why haven't you been here?

It's been me and Tammy, not you.

Tammy isn't his real mother.

She's gotta go on tour.

She's gotta record.

He's my blood and not hers.

This is our family.

And Tammy is a part
of that now, Deidra.

But can you do it without me?

Look at this room.

Look, the awards, the prestige.

There's not an
ounce of me in it.

I am not gonna
apologize for my success.

You erased me.

But you're not gonna erase
me from Jay's life, too.

A boy needs his mother.

Let's start with
a few sleepovers.

Can we do that?

It's a start.

Mama.

- Hi baby.
- Hey.

You ready to go?

I have to get my bag.

Okay, um, where's your dad?

You know dad, some trip.

He'll be home tomorrow.

So you're alone with Tammy?

Yeah, Tammy and Aunt Pam
are out back doing yoga.

I can go get them.

Nope, don't.

Just go get your bag.

I have a lot of surprises

planned for you this
weekend, mister.

Okay, um, you wanna see my room?

I shouldn't.

It's cool, they won't mind.

Come on.

Come on.

I'm proud of you, sis.

The whole family is.

Thank you.

You know it doesn't
even feel really yet.

It will.

And when it does,

I'm here to negotiate
your new contract.

Thank you.

I'm just happy you're here.

Sometimes I feel like the
third wheel around this place.

I thought Mr. Right
treated you like gold.

No, it is not that.

It's Deidra.

She haunts this place,

and if I even mention her,
Charles completely shuts down.

What do you think?

I love it.

Um, you know what?

I think we should go to
someplace fancy for dinner.

Why don't you grab a jacket,

an extra outfit,
and something nice.

You think you can do that?

Mom, this is me
you're talking to.

Okay then.

Go and uh, get
something really nice.

No basketball jerseys.

Okay.

Take your time.

What do you know about her?

Uh, not much.

Just that when Charles
filed for divorce,

she took it really hard

and disappeared when
Jay was younger.

She disappeared?

I guess.

But she is back now and
she appears to be stable

and she's ready to be a mom
again, so I'm happy for her.

Truly, I am, because
when she's good,

that means that Jay's good.

But aren't you curious
about what happened?

Nah.

I have to respect
that, you know?

Let the past be the past.

What about you?

What about me?

As long as
Jay's under this roof,

Deidre's gonna be coming around.

You need to know what
you're up against.

What does that
mean, "Up against?"

If I was her,

I'd wanna know everything
about the woman around my kid.

Especially if she's
about to become

the biggest star in the world.

Mama.

What are you doing
in dad's room?

I was looking for the restroom.

Oh, okay.

Come on, let's go.

You know,

I just want Deidra to respect
me and the way I care for Jay,

like I respect her.

Besides, I wanna have
kids of my own one day.

Well, if she keeps
disrespecting my sister,

I will show her how
real of a sister I am.

Ooh.

I'll stomp a hole
in her real quick.

What?

I'll knock her teeth out.
Don't get me started. Uhn-uh

T.

Uh, okay, so look,
I told Jay that I,

I could have stayed in the car.

If I overstepped.

Oh no, please, Deidre.

Don't be silly, we're-

- Thank you for allowing me

to take my child
for the weekend.

Um, you know what?

I wanna apologize
about the other day.

I'm truly grateful

for everything that
you've done for my child.

Is there any way that we
could just, I don't know.

Can we start over?

I'd like that.

Cool, how about tonight?

Tonight?

Um...

Yeah, my liquor cabinet,
it stays open pretty late.

Tonight may not
work, only because-

- Oh, I get it, that's right.

You probably have a bunch
of text messages to read.

It's okay, it's cool.

Come on baby, let's go.

Wait.

How late does your
liquor cabinet stay open?

It's not much,

but um, Jay has his own room

and it's in a good
school district.

Um, I think it's great.

Let's do this.

Let's.

So how did you meet Charles?

Uh, my sister, Pam.

Pam.

Cute.

Yeah, it's actually
a really funny story.

So they were- A toast.

Okay.

What are we toasting to?

You, silly.

Your song, it's amazing.

It's the prettiest song
that I've ever heard.

Thank you, Deidra.

I almost feel like I
have a connection to it.

Hmm.

No, it's funny you say that

because I felt the same
exact way when I heard it.

You heard it?

Yeah, the demo.

Charles had written
it years ago,

and when I heard this song,

I just knew I had to sing it.

So he never released it?

Uh-uh, he said he could never
find the right voice for it,

till now.

What exactly did
Charles tell you about me?

What does anybody ever
tell anyone about their ex?

- Fair enough.
- Mm.

Well, we met when I was
in my second year in college

and he had just had
this serious breakup

with Jessica Dawson.

Jessica Dawson.

By that look, you've
heard that name before.

She really broke his heart.

But her loss was my gain, right?

And I was in school
for computer graphics,

but he saw right through.

He knew I wanted to make music.

So you sing.

Dabbled.

You know Charles, he makes
you feel like a star.

Mm.

He used to keep his uh,
his songs in these journals.

Yeah, he still does that.

And we would go to the studio

and we would record
these amazing love songs.

But then it led to more love
making than making music.

I think sex inspires him.

And then Jay was born and uh,

there was no more
time for music.

At least that's what he told me.

So is that why you stopped?

We both did.

We got married and we tried
to make the family thing work.

He went back to work at a
old manufacturing plant.

I went back to school
and we really tried,

and we were a family,
until we weren't.

He didn't tell you that, did he?

Uh, no.

Just that I'm a crazy
mama that abandoned her kid.

No, Deidre, he never said any-

- I had so much love
for him, for our family,

until he got arrested.

That was the
beginning of the end.

Arrested?

I've said too much.

No, you haven't said enough.

What was he arrested for?

Whatever happened
with us is in the past.

He's with you now.

Yeah, but he never
told me any of this.

I'm not gonna start any more
trouble than I already have.

He's found his way
back to his music.

He's happy.

You're happy.

And Jay's happy.

I had a lawyer draw those
up and I signed them.

I realized that there was
no upside for a waitress

up against a successful
music producer in court.

Take it.

Besides, a custody
battle is no way to start

a healthy co-parenting
relationship.

Wow, Deidra.

Thank you.

This was fun.

It was.

We should do it again.

Oh, by tomorrow,
you will be so famous

you won't remember that
cheap wine I served you.

Oh, from me, your
lips to God's ears.

And that wine was not
that cheap, Deidra.

That's just Renegade,
the neighbors dog.

It's, he's harmless.

He don't sound that harmless.

You get used to it.

Oh.

And what has got
you smiling so hard?

It's not a what, it's a who.

Oh.

Who?

Some guy.

He uh, wants me to
send him a naughty pic.

Ooh, do you like him?

Yeah, maybe, I don't know.

Hey, do it, okay?

You only live once.

What, is he cute?

You'll see him soon enough.

Okay.

Well um, I should get going,

but I'm really glad we
got the chance to do this.

Likewise.

Thank you, Deidra.

You, uh, tell Charles
to stay outta trouble.

Tammy.

Tammy, why aren't you ready?

We have a meeting with
Satellite Radio at 11 o'clock.

All right, this industry
doesn't give second chances.

We can't blow this.

You know, that's funny,
because you got a second chance.

What?

I went and saw
Deidre last night.

Why would you do that?

You know, probably
for the same reason

you never told me why
you were arrested.

Look, baby.

Look, do not "baby" me.

What the hell?

Look, it's the past, all right?

She's the past.

All right, let it go.

Why didn't you tell
me that she sings,

or anything about
her for that matter?

Or should I let that go, too?

What else are you
hiding from me, Charles?

It's not what you think.

Look, I did it for Jay.

Okay, I kept secrets for him.

All right, look.

I was arrested for assault.

All right, some
guy said I hit him

after I saw him and
Deidra flirting.

I got jealous and
confronted him.

And did you hit him?

No, no, but the police
didn't believe me.

I was a hothead back then

and it wasn't the first time
I was in trouble with the law.

Not your first time?

Look, our
relationship was toxic.

She reveled in the drama.

Yeah, but why
didn't you tell me?

Well, I had my record expunged.

Right, I paid a PR
team to erase me

and Deidra's internet history

because I didn't
want Jay to know

he had a father
that was a criminal

and a mother who went to a
mental health institution.

Oh.

I bet she left
that part out, too.

Well, did she sing?

Did she sing?

Yeah, a little.

But she wasn't a star.

Not like you.

Charles, I am your wife.

Do you know how stupid I felt?

It's like I don't even know you.

Now you know me.

So does Deidra and Jessica.

Look, I know I betrayed
your trust in the past,

and I know I don't deserve
it, but I'm asking you,

look Tammy, you're
raising my son.

Hell, I won't pretend that
I can do this without you.

No more secrets, Tammy.

Okay, I promise.

Deidra's not seeking
full custody anymore.

She's okay with co-parenting.

Well, well how?

I mean.

Does it matter?

It's done.

Hey, I mean, I don't
know what to say.

I mean, I'm just-

- You know what, Charles, just,

promise me you'll be honest
with me from here on out.

Baby, I promise.

What is it?

Charles' file is sealed,

but the other guy's file isn't.

Jimmy Franklin, a real shit bag.

Habitual criminal with
more assault charges

than he has birthdays.

How will this help
me get to the truth?

Charles didn't do it.

He didn't?

Page six, superstar.

What is this I'm looking at?

It's a transcript
from a criminal case

where Jimmy was a
state star witness.

The defense attorney
raised concerns

about his credibility
as a witness.

He cites Charles's
case as his reason.

Hmm.

Jimmy Franklin knowingly and
willingly pressed false charges

on Charles Harper
only to drop his claim

after his allegations
could not be corroborated.

Why would he do that?

Why does any man do
what he does for a woman?

I gotta go.

I have this IG Live thing I
have to do, but thank you.

You're amazing.

Wait, be careful.

That woman isn't playing
with a full deck.

According to our records,

you and Ms. Deidre Love
conspired against Mr. Harper.

We're ready
for you in five, Ms. Wilson.

I'll, I'll be right there.

Hey guys, so I'm gonna
answer some questions.

What inspired "You and I?"

I would say love,
pure, unfiltered love.

And when I recorded it, it
was my hope that you guys,

my fans, walk away
feeling that same love.

Unbelievable.

We need to talk.

In my office, now.

That doesn't matter.

Look, we should be already
on the next single.

Hell, the next three singles.

Tammy is a star.

The industry hasn't
seen an artist like her

in over 10 years.

Yeah, but we need something new,

something fresh, something
vibrant, and have her-

- We need to talk.

This is an important call
and I don't wanna fight.

So you think your
little Instagram post

is gonna butter me up?

Um, I'm gonna have
to call you back.

Cupcakes for lunch.

Don't tell your dad.

Never, this is perfect.

I thought you might say that.

So what's it like?

Living with a superstar?

Who, Tammy?

She's okay.

Okay?

It's gotta be more than okay.

Doesn't she go to
like award shows

and parties with
celebrities and?

Nah, it's not like that.

Huh?

What's it like?

She's mad Cool.

Like super normal.

She goes to my games
even when dad can't.

Growing up pretty fast, mister.

Even got your own key.

I'm not a kid anymore.

Dad said it gives
me responsibility.

And he's very right.

Let's see what else
you got on the court.

Let me see your three
point, Mr. Big Time.

All right.

Was that all net?

Nice one.

What are you doing, mister?

Going through old
studio sessions.

You know, the label's
thinking about doing

a behind the scenes documentary.

Oh.

Wait, oh my God.

Stalker.

How many videos do you have?

I record every session.

Do you ever stop working?

Doing music inspires me.

You inspire me.

I don't deserve you.

I'll get that.

I'll get you some food.

- Okay.
- All right.

Jessica Dawson.

Oh baby.

I thought we could
discuss the photo shoot

tomorrow after lunch.

What is this?

Open it.

What is it?

You tell me.

Open it.

Jessica Dawson?

This, this is a mistake.

Open it, Charles.

All right.

All right, someone's playing
some kinda sick game.

I don't know what this is.

Well then show me.

Show me the joke.
Baby.

Baby, I don't know what this is.

Don't you see how
crazy this looks?

No, your past is
what's crazy, Charles.

- Read it.
- No.

No, this is insane.

Why would anyone
send me sex toys?

Let's find out.

"My dearest Charles."

"No matter how hard
we try to resist"

"we keep finding our
way back to each other."

"Last week was no different."

"I can't stop
thinking about you."

"Forever locked in."

"Love, Jessica?"

Look, that's a lie.

I haven't seen Jessica in years.

Tammy.

Tammy.

Tammy, we need to
talk about this.

Tammy.

Why are we leaving?

I was just warming up.

I know, baby.

I just, I have some
errands to run.

Rain check?

Tammy, can you please
just open the door?

Unlock the door.

Let's talk about this.

Look, you know me.

None of this makes any sense.

Just think about it.

Okay, look, my phone.

My, my phone is by the bed.

You can check it yourself.

Go on, check it.

What's the password, Charles?

It's Jay's birth year.

Well say something.

"Can't wait to see you."

"Keep the cuffs,
I have the key?"

What?

That doesn't even make sense.

Ready?

Why did we stop here?

Well,

you're old enough to have
a key to your dad's house.

I think you are responsible
enough to have a key to mine.

I mean, ours.

You have two houses now.

Where you going?

Out of my way.

I can't stand to be in this
house around you anymore.

Because of an unknown number?

Do I really look this stupid?

Do I?

Let's talk about this.

You know, why is
it the only time

you're willing to
talk about your past

is when it's blowing up
in your face, Charles?

Tammy,

Don't say my name.

Tammy.

Can we?

Baby.

Let's think about
this, all right?

Jessica doesn't
know where we live.

Why would she do this?

This has Deidre
written all over it.

Look, I don't care who did it.

I'm getting sick and tired of
you and your ex's, Charles.

I can't even look
at you right now.

Well-

Dad.

Son.

You stay, I'll go.

He wanted to come home early.

It's just been a lot.

Girl, it's gonna be okay.

But what's really going on?

Well, Charles is
staying at a hotel,

and Jay is with Deidra.

Oh Tam, your husband is famous.

And with the hit new song,

all his ex's will probably
come out of the woodwork.

Well, he needs to
get ahead of that.

It is not my job
to manage his past.

That's his job.

Now that sounds like a
bar for your next single.

Stop.

I can stay as long as you want.

Oh, that's okay.

I kind of wanna be alone.

But thank you for
listening to me.

Of course.

"My dearest Charles."

"No matter how hard
we try to resist,"

"we keep finding our
way back to each other."

"Forever locked in."

"Love, Jessica."

Hi, this is Charles Harper.

Please leave a message.

Hey, uh, Charles, can
you gimme a call back?

It's, it's important.

Pam.

Hey girl.

Tam, is something wrong?

Um, I don't know yet.

I can't get a hold of Charles.

You're sounding off.

I saw something and it could
just be a weird coincidence,

but something is not adding
up with that package.

I need to do some digging.

Do you need me to come over?

No, I'll come to you.

I'll see you soon.

Hey, Tammy.

I know I'm early.

I couldn't wait.

You know, your pictures
don't do you justice.

Why are you in my house?

Whoa, ho ho, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.

Easy, girl.

It's me, Zeeke.

I don't know who you are.

Get out of my house!

Dating site.

Brooding scorpio, lonely
housewife looking for some fun.

Come on, you've been texting
me and begging me to come here.

Bullshit.

Tammy, don't chicken out now.

Come on, I drove a
long way just to be here.

What are you doing?

What are you doing
with this phone?

What, what do you
doing with that?

What do you think
you're doing, huh?

Wanna start playing rough, huh?

Is that what it is?

You wanna start playing now?

I guess we're getting
into it right away.

No!

Shh.

I know you said you
like it rough, but,

I didn't imagine this good.

Shh, you're feisty.

But I like that.

Are you gonna be a good girl?

Are you going to be a good girl?

Yeah?

I mean, I'm just
following your lead.

Now you're gonna
follow mine, right?

Yeah?

Good.

This is fun, isn't it?

Yeah.

Hey, where do you think
you're going, huh?

This was your idea.

What are you talking about?

So here I am.

Let's play, huh?

What?

What?

Damn it, Zeeke, I said no calls.

Deidra?

Miss Wilson?

I told you everything already.

I told you about the call

and I do not have a
My Gaze Only account.

I promise to look
into all of that.

But I have a hard time with
one part of your story.

Okay?

He knew your address.

Photos were taken of you.

Text messages.

Yeah, they were all fake.

I'm trying to tell
y'all, it's Deidra.

I have never used an app
like that before in my life.

But this man had a key.

Was that also fake?

The alarm wasn't on.

Is there a reason for that?

Because it's a safe
damn neighborhood.

This, whatever this is, is over.

Excuse me?

Excuse me, I'm Pam
Newman, I'm her attorney.

I'm taking a statement.

Sounds to me like
you already have it.

I'm collecting facts.

Well, let me tell you
one fact you do know.

A man broke into the home.

No, he entered
the home with a key.

And attacked my client
and she defended herself,

which is her right.

So if you're not sure what you
need from my client, leave.

And call me when
you make a decision.

We'll be in touch.

You don't speak with
no one without me again.

Do you hear me?

I'm not going to let
anything happen to you.

It's gonna be okay.

Tammy?

Oh baby, are you okay?

I tried calling you.

Oh, I know.

I'm sorry.

How are you?

Detectives
think I invited him in.

Look, baby, I don't want you
to worry about any of that.

We're going to take care of
it, I promise, all right?

You need to get her out of here.

Yeah, I know.

The media catches wind of
this it's gonna be a circus.

Can we take your car?

Yes, but we're going to
need to make a statement.

I'm, I'm on it.

We need something now

before someone else
creates the narrative.

I'll figure it out.

No, I'll handle it.

You just get her as far
away from here as possible.

I know a team that can
clean up the crime scene

while we're away.

Just stop, stop.

I'm not leaving.

We can't stay here.

So what, I'm supposed
to go out there?

You think that's gonna
bring me peace of mind?

Tammy.

This is not a crime scene.

This is our home and I
will not be run away.

Someone was in here.

Now we need to think
smart about this

until I can hire
a security team.

I mean, what if there's
another deranged fan out there?

This wasn't a fan.

It was Deidre.

Deidra?

Yes.

Look, the pictures
were all fake.

Yes, it was my face,
but it was not my body.

That doesn't mean it was her.

Crazy fans make fake
photos all the time.

What about the call?

You didn't hear her voice.

Yeah, but my bangle
and, and, and lingerie.

It was missing.
Tammy.

So y'all think I'm crazy.

No, but we can't rock
the boat with Deidre

or anyone right now.

And making accusations we
can't prove can backfire on us.

You're a person of
interest in a crime.

A crime that could
sent you to jail

for the rest of your
natural black life.

If Deidre is behind this,

tipping her off right now
that you suspect something

isn't going to help.

So what, huh?

What, you, you, you saying
I should do nothing?

I'm saying let me do my job.

Let, let us fix this, all right?

Let me worry about Jay and
we'll get through this together.

All right?
Mmhm.

It's gonna be okay.

She's doing okay.

Tonight was a difficult night.

Tammy is resting comfortably

surrounded by the
people who love her.

Tammy's not only a celebrity,

but she's a loving
wife and mother.

- You lying bitch.
- We ask for privacy

during this difficult time.

- Ain't nobody's mother.
- Thank you.

It's a lie.

Everyone on the internet

is saying that Tammy
killed someone.

Oh no, it's true, baby.

I think I need to be with them.

No, no, you're safe.

You're safe here with me.

But Tammy needs me.

She's always been there for me.

She needs you?

She need a God damn lawyer.

She not thinking
about you right now.

I'm going home.

You are home.

No, I'm calling dad.

He's busy.

His wife just murdered somebody

and she's facing jail time
for the rest of her life.

She's not thinking about you.

You should appreciate the fact

that I'm trying to
keep you here safe.

You acting just like
your damn daddy.

It's better than
acting like you.

Jay?

Shit.

Can I help you?

I'm Detective Fletcher.

Oh, now is not a
good time, Officer.

What, what's this about?

Just need to ask
a few questions.

About?

Are we able to go inside?

I'm on my way to work.

That's odd.

You no longer work there.

I checked.

How may I help you?

It's about your ex-husband.

Is this about last night?

I was here with my son,

and I'm afraid I
don't know anything.

How about I come
back at a later time?

That would be best.

Mom?

Go to your room.

What is that?

Go to your room.

Baby, I'm sorry.

I would never do
anything to hurt you.

What you saw is not
what you think you saw.

And you're right about Tammy.

She didn't kill anyone.

What you saw in the room was
me trying to help the police.

They asked me to help.

I know this is scary,

but I was just doing
my part trying to help.

I'm sorry.

They said somebody might
be trying to hurt me, too.

I will never let
anything happen to you.

I'll protect you.

That's my baby.

Now what do we do?

We stick together.

You and me.

They've been out
there all night.

I'm working on that.

I'll get the media to back off.

It's just, I know
Deidre's behind this.

Anybody with eyes can see that,

but me having a law agree is
advising you to see what I see.

And what is that?

The police will subpoena
Deidre's internet provider

for her IP address's activity.

It'll be all over soon.

She's done.

It doesn't feel that way.

I need a favor,
from Detective Pam.

What do you mean Jay
doesn't want to come home?

No, let me talk to him.

I tried calling him all night.

He's not answering his phone.

Just put him on
the phone, Deidre.

What?

I don't need to calm down.

What?

You can't do that.

Hello?

Deidre.

Damn it!

How long you been
standing there?

Long enough.

Go, you need to see him.

I'm, I'm not leaving you.

I am not a porcelain doll.

Jay needs you, go check on him.

Where's Jay?

Excuse me?

Where is he?

We're leaving.

Wait, he, wait.

He wants to stay.

I don't have time for this.

Jay, Jay.
Calm down, calm down.

Look, I'm not letting you
in here until you calm down.

We are going to speak as adults.

That boy is scared
enough as it is already.

How did you get these so fast?

I don't disclose my techniques.

Wow they look so real.

It's a deep fake.

She's crazier than I thought.

Yeah, but why?

Charles was open to having
her be in Jay's life.

I just...

Something must
have triggered her.

It's the prettiest song
that I've ever heard.

I feel like I have a,
a connection to it.

You know what?

Let me call you back.

Are you really gonna
keep me from my son?

What the hell are
you doing, Deidra?

What am I doing?

Uh, someone was
killed in your house,

and you really want
him to go back to that?

Then we'll leave.

Oh, okay.

He'll love that.

Another move in the
middle of the school year.

And let me guess, being with
you was the only solution?

Last time I checked, no
one died in my living room.

Jay is a child.

He needs time to process.

He's safer here.

He's safe with me.

That's not good enough for me.

Not good enough, for you?

I'm doing what's
best for my son.

By brainwashing him against me?

Last time I saw your wife,

she was leaving with a suitcase,

and the next day
she's killing someone.

Your house is unstable,

and it's been like
that for a minute.

I'd be happy to talk to the
press about my concerns.

Oh, so this
is what it comes down to?

Okay, let's cut the bullshit.

What do you want?

I want our son safe.

I'm looking out for him.

Someone has to and clearly
Tammy can't do that.

This isn't about Tammy.

This is about you and me.

You made it about Tammy
when you gave her our song.

Song?

What, what, what are
you talking about?

You're crazy.

And your wife is a killer.

You sure know how to
pick 'em, Charles.

♪ Love me right, love
me right, do me right ♪

♪ Why do you, hold me tight,
never lie, you're right ♪

♪ You and I

♪ You and I, you and I

♪ You and I, you and I

I'm not leaving without my son.

Can I at least
collect his things

and explain to him
why he has to go?

Okay.

Wait here.

Hey, is everything okay?

Charles, Deidre sang
the demo for "You and I?"

No, I mean, yeah, yeah.

Look, it's complicated.

Uncomplicate it for me.

Tammy, it's not what you think.

Enough with the cryptic talk.

Look, all right,

we played around with the
song in the studio once,

like 13 years ago.

It wasn't for a demo, right?

It was for us.

We were just being
silly, it was nothing.

Yeah, but it was
everything to Deidre.

You know, in her mind, she
thinks that I'm singing her song.

The song that you
wrote for her family.

The family that
I'm a part of now.

Look, I didn't expect-

- I told you to promise me

that you would always be
honest with me about your past.

And here I am finding out
another secret you hid from me.

I'm sorry.

Your sorry's are starting to
become meaningless, Charles.

Let me know when you
and Jay are on the way.

Tammy.

Damn.

Jay, let's go.

Is dad mad?

No, but we're leaving, let's go.

Where to?

I don't have time to
answer any of your questions.

Let's go.

Just leave it.

But what about dad?

Boy, you'll be with
your dad soon, I promise.

The police tracked
the IP address back to Deidra.

An arrest warrant
has been issued.

They're on their way now.

So it's over.

When she's arrested,

I'll issue a press release and
you can rebuild your family,

and all of this will be over.

I'm gonna call Charles,
but I love you, sis.

Thank you.

I love you, too.

Tammy?

Charles?

Baby, you don't sound too good.

Charles, speak to me.

Are you okay?

I don't know.

I think, I think Deidra hit me.

What?

She's lost her mind.

Okay, are, are you okay?

Where's Jay?

I don't know.

Jay?

Jay?!

Charles, what is going on?

She has Jay.

Call the police, now.

How is your burger?

Why are we here?

There's a lot of people that
don't wanna see us together.

And Miss Pam is a lawyer
and she's gonna help us.

Then why don't we just
go to Aunt Pam's house?

I know where it is from here.

It's too dangerous.

She's gonna meet us here.

It's been over an hour.

How much longer do we
have to sit out here for?

You know I love you, right?

And I would never let
anything or anyone hurt you.

I refuse to let that happen.

Okay.

Mommy's gonna go
away for a while.

I'm coming with you.

No, not this time.

But you said it yourself.

I need to protect you.

And you have done
a wonderful job.

Where are you going?

It's not important.

But what is important

is that we got a chance to
spend some time together.

Okay, mom.

She's waking up.

Could you go get a nurse?

Okay.

Where am I?

There's been an accident.

- I got it.
- Relax.

I don't remember anything.

Deidre's behind this.

I know she is.

She's desperate.

She took Jay and ran, she's,

you know, I'm afraid to think
of what she's even capable of.

You don't remember anything?

I can't remember.

I wish I could remember
anything to bury the bitch.

It's okay.

How do you feel?

I'm okay.

Okay, careful.

So there's
nothing more you can do?

Sir, we're doing all we can.

All you can?

My wife told you

that Deidra was behind
us from the beginning.

If you had arrested her, none
of this would be happening.

That's not the way
it works, Mr. Harper.

I understand your frustration.

Do you?

Because I don't think you do.

My son is missing.

Someone is in the hospital.

I was almost killed and
my wife was attacked.

You don't understand shit.

Should I answer it?

- Yeah.
- Put it on speaker.

Hello?

Do we have an audience?

Yes.

Take me off speaker, just you.

Look, I need to hear everything.

I will tell you everything.

Just please let me handle this.

This could be our only chance.

Just keep her on the phone
for as long as you can.

Are you there?

Um, yeah, I'm, I'm here.

Jay wants to talk to you

and I want this to be over.

Is he safe?

Let's just end this.

Woman to woman, just you and me.

If you do anything stupid,

you won't ever get
to see Jay again.

Get rid of them
and call me back.

How am I supposed to do that?

You're a smart
girl, figure it out.

Okay, well, where are you?

Listen clearly, I don't care
what you say to them. You get

rid of them fast, and call me
when you're in your car alone

Yeah.

So what'd she say?

She said that she's at
the old manufacturing plant.

That you would
know where that is.

So she's there now with Jay?

Yeah, she's ready
to turn herself in.

She, she has Jay.

Well, why didn't she call me?

Why you?

I don't know, Charles.

The manufacturing plant.

Do you know about this?

Yeah, yeah, I know where it is.

It's, it's an old plant where
I worked when we were married.

I need to move on this now.

No, no, no, look,
I need to be there.

No, I need you here
if something goes wrong.

I will call you when
we have your son.

Thank you, Detective.

Baby, are you okay?

No, I'm, I'm worried about Jay.

I can't stop thinking about Pam.

This is hard.

I know, I know, babe.

You know Pam, she's tough.

Listen, why don't you
go be with your sister?

All right, there's no
sense in her being alone.

I'll call you when
I hear something.

- Okay.
- All right?

Okay, I'm alone.

How'd you do it?

He's a man.

He needed to be the
hero, so I let him.

Now let's end this.

Deidra.

♪ Running out of
time, I can't wait ♪

♪ 'Cause I'm afraid

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

Just listen.

♪ I cannot replace

Charles used to write
the most beautiful songs.

When we met, he could barely
afford a session at this place.

Now he owns it.

Charles has everything.

This studio, a beautiful wife,

my son,

and our song.

What do I get, huh?

Answer me!

Where is Jay?

Oh, you think I
would hurt my son?

He's fine.

I told you, this
ends with you and me.

♪ Never did this before,
I know I want more ♪

We're toxic.

I'm crazy, apparently,
but you're a murderer.

Not the best role
models for my child,

but Charles can start over.

Maybe he'll do better next time.

One hell of a song, huh?

♪ 'Cause I got you,
if you got me ♪

Let's see how hot
she really are.

You're crazy.

I'm right here, bitch.

Sing, sing now, bitch.

Sing about how
you stole my life.

You cannot have what I built!

Do it.

Do it!

Jay deserves better.

Tammy!

How'd you find me?

I didn't believe that
warehouse story for a second.

I tracked your phone.

Where's Jay?

She had him in the car.

I got him, he's safe.

Hey.

How you feeling?

I'm okay.

Well, Deidra's gonna be
going away for a long time.

Maybe now she can get
the help she needs.

I don't know,
something just feels off.

Well get some rest.

I'll check on you shortly.

Charles?

Sorry, I broke a glass.

It's all good.

Okay, well hurry back.

I'll be right up.

Set it right there, right there.

Appreciate it.

Stop.

We can't do this.

What's wrong?

We've been doing this
a thousand times.

This move is best for everyone.

Yeah, but this
time is different.

Okay, what's worrying you?

Things are just
changing, really fast.

I know, babe, but we
need a fresh start, right?

Jay will be in the
same school district.

He can keep the same
therapist, right?

You and me, we
have more privacy,

and we'll have enough space
to build our own studio.

Yeah, but will
it be enough space?

What are you talking about?

I mean, we have more space
than we'll ever need.

Enough space for a nursery?

A what?

Oh my God, are you serious?

Serious about what?

What, what, what's
she serious about?

She's pregnant.

Dad, keep up.

We're having a baby.

I hope it's a girl.

Oh, I think it's gonna be a boy.

I think I'm still in shock.

Looks like there's gonna be

another Steph
Curry in the house.

Oh yeah.

Yes, another Steph
Curry in the house.

Oh my gosh!
