Close it up one time. Open.

Boxing fans,

make some noise!

Jane.

Be right with you.

Anything else?

Asked for diet.

This is regular.

You didn't bring me extra lemons

for the water.

- Sorry.

- Don't expect a tip.

- You serious?

- Yep.

Kaylee, would you please

clean up station number ten.

People are waiting.

Kaylee, if you want food,

just, uh, tell the kitchen at

the beginning of your shift.

- Okay?

- Sorry.

There's no reason to be sorry,

just let them know next time.

Can I help you?

Are you K.O. Uppeshau,

the boxer?

- Yeah.

- You're my favorite fighter.

How come I never see you

fight anymore?

Got a bad back.

Oh, I... I didn't know that.

Can I get a selfie real quick?

Yeah, sure.

Thank you so much.

You been sleepin' with

the blade?

- Yeah.

- Good.

Got all the money, right?

Yeah.

Let's hope this motherfucker

got some news.

You got it?

This is Lisa.

She recruits for The Bird.

Go ahead. Show 'em.

This was posted

a week ago.

Is it her?

Yeah, it's her.

The fuck this shit even mean?

NTV means "Native."

"Off The Boat" is underage.

The umbrella means no condoms,

and HH is for half hour.

Tell 'em how it works.

I find girls and

bring 'em to the motel.

If there's native girls,

we set 'em up with

this guy, Bobby.

I think he posted this.

And Lisa is bringing

a new batch of girls

over tomorrow.

Bobby's supposed to show up.

We can plug you in

with this batch.

Listen, Kaylee. If you want to

go through with this,

you have to be all in

and play the part.

And once you're there,

you're on your own.

Just tell me where to be

and I'll be there.

Go!

Good. Break the... break the...

break the grip, break the grip.

Get your hips out.

Break it. Break the grip.

Good. Good.

All right, shoe.

Good sprawl.

Oh, watch it, watch it.

Guillotine, guillotine.

Good. Good.

[grunting

Great.

Don't give him your back.

All right, try to get your

shoulders to the ground,

try to get your shoulders.

Tap.

Tap. Tap.

He got you.

Fuckin' tap.

Tap! Tap!

She's gonna hurt herself.

What's goin' on

with you, K.O.?

We've gone over this,

like, a hundred times.

Anything could happen out there,

man, you gotta be ready.

Sorry.

Don't fuckin' apologize,

let's just get it together.

Come on, let's go,

let's go, let's go.

Let's go, get up.

Get up. Come on. Ready?

Go!

This dude got

a lot of weight on you.

You gotta be ready for

this type of size and power.

A'ight?

This is about survival.

Let's go.

Let's go, K.O.

Come on!

From your mid-section.

Turn the hip.

Yep. Good. That's it, throw.

Yep. Good, good.

Go ahead, go ahead.

Come on,

you're lookin' good, you're good.

Let's go, K.O.

Good, there you go.

Yeah, get back up high.

Lift your head.

Come on, deep breath,

deep breath, deep breath.

Get it together.

Get up, come on. Good.

Let's go,

work behind that.

Hands up high.

There you go.

That's what I want,

right there.

Yep. Come on, come on.

Keep punchin'.

Keep touchin'.

Get him off of you.

Get him the fuck off of you.

Come on.

Pull it together.

Come on.

Get the fuck up.

Pull yourself up.

Hey, get the fuck up!

Get up, K.O.!

You need a ride back?

No. I'll take the bus.

What?

You got somethin' to say,

say it.

I mean, look,

it's been, like, two years.

Two fuckin' years, K.O.

That could have been anybody

in that ad, man,

we just goin'.

I love her like

a sister, too, but...

I mean, I don't...

I don't think it's her.

I'm sorry, I'm just...

I'm just trying to

keep it a buck, man.

But I know you already got

your mind made up.

What?

You're worried about me.

You love me that much.

Can't picture life without me.

Fuck outta here.

Thank you, Brick.

You ain't gotta thank me.

Yo, for real, though.

- Be safe out there.

- All right.

She's flappin'.

Like a trout.

Flailing her arms.

I'm lookin' around for

a branch or somethin'.

But there ain't nothin' around.

I'm just

screamin' at her.

But she doesn't get any closer.

She's been swimmin' in

that river for 12 years.

I tell myself she's dead.

But she keeps

swimming on back to me.

I used to hate those dreams.

But now I look forward to them.

To remind me she's

still out there swimming.

Ain't nothin' I can do but wait.

Thank you, Awan.

I know how difficult it is

to talk about, but...

that's why we're here, right?

Be there for each other.

Who else wants to check in?

Coleman?

I'm angry.

Okay.

What are you angry about?

No closure.

No help.

It was my responsibility

to keep her safe,

and I failed to do so.

If your daughter

was here right now,

what would you

say to her?

Oh, I'd take her in my arms...

Fuck this. I'm sorry.

Listen, um...

Why don't we call it

a wrap for today

and we'll meet back here

same time next week?

Yeah?

Thank you, everyone.

You want coffee?

No, I'm good. Thanks.

Sit.

Are you fighting again?

Yeah.

Any fights comin' up?

Yeah. I'm gonna be gone

for a little while, so...

I just wanted to stop by.

So, how's Megan?

What?

We broke up two years ago, Ma.

You know that.

Forgot. I'm sorry.

Oh, yeah?

Look, I told you

the last time I saw you,

I'm not giving you any money

until I know you're clean.

I didn't come here

for money, Ma.

That was the last pow wow

we went to together.

Some days I keep it on

the desk,

some days I put it in

the drawer.

I just fuckin' wish

you would say it.

Say what?

Just say you wish it was me.

Put the picture back, Kaylee.

Not a day goes by where I don't

think about this little girl.

I'm not gonna do this

with you, Kaylee,

I'm not gonna play

this little game with you.

I'm not leavin' here...

- until you say it.

- I'm not gonna say it!

You wish it was me

on that wall, missin'.

And not your precious Weeta.

You're over here

praising and grievin'

everybody else's loved ones,

you got one sittin'

right in front of you,

you won't even

fuckin' acknowledge me.

Goodbye, Ma.

On Saturday...

On this Saturday, this weekend,

my sister's got

a big fight goin' on,

so you are gonna be there.

And who's gonna

be there ringside?

I'm gonna be

supporting her on the side.

Yep.

Yep. And you know

I can't be there

and can't win

without my baby sis.

You think I'm gonna win?

- Yeah, of course you are.

- You better say yes.

Where again? When?

Tell the people.

- Tell the people.

- Saturday, this weekend.

- Yes.

- Be there.

Or else I'm gonna send her after you.

- I will. I will.

- She's the rough one.

Weeta.

Come here.

I gotta spar a few rounds.

Just a little bit longer.

I thought you said we were

leaving soon.

A little while longer.

We'll get some food afterward.

That's okay. You got

your big fight comin' up.

- I'll walk.

- You sure?

Yeah.

Hey, hey.

Don't leave like that.

Give big sis a kiss.

- Text me when you get home.

- Okay.

Sorry about that, ladies.

Okay.

How old are you?

Twenty-nine.

What, are you bringing me

grandmas now, Lisa?

She's cute.

Eh...

I guess you're right.

Huh. Like your cheek piercings.

All right, uh...

you all chill here for now.

Relax.

You. Come with me.

All right, guys, relax.

Just make yourself at home.

Hey, cheek piercings.

You're up.

Take a seat. Relax.

So, Lisa tells me

that you're native.

Yeah.

You're not full, though, right?

- No.

- I didn't think so.

What's your mix?

Asian? Black?

Cape Verdean.

- Cape what?

- Cape Verdean.

- Cape Verdean?

- Yeah.

Where's that?

It's a cluster of islands

off the west coast of Africa.

That's a pretty cool mix.

Your mom from there? Dad?

- Dad.

- That's cool.

Oh! I'm clean.

Well, good for you.

Give me your arm.

I'm not askin'.

All right, clinch your fist.

Yeah.

All right.

Shh... shh.

Relax.

Relax. Almost done.

There you go.

You're all good. Okay?

You good?

You're good.

You see?

Pretty good shit, huh?

All right, get up.

Take your clothes off.

Over there.

Hm. You're jacked.

I like your tattoos.

All right, just look at me.

There you go.

Pout your lip.

Good.

Okay. Turn around.

So, you got any siblings?

Yeah.

Look over your shoulder.

Brother? Sister?

- Sister.

- Oh, yeah?

Older? Younger?

Younger.

Is she hot?

Take some selfies.

Get any work done?

- No.

- Tits real? Ass real?

- Yeah.

- You clean?

Yeah.

Okay. Come here.

I got a guy who likes

Native girls.

You're gonna meet him tonight.

Go over there.

Bend over.

Yeah, good, just like that.

Okay.

Spread your legs.

Okay, good, yeah.

Yeah, just stay like that

for me.

Yeah, just stay like that.

Yeah.

Just like that.

Yeah, just like that.

More to the left.

That's it, that's it.

- Hey, baby.

- Hey.

This is her.

- Hi.

I'm Bobby. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

Warm enough in here for you?

I can turn the heat up

if you like.

No, I'm good. Thank you.

You good? Okay.

Put your seatbelt on, please.

You okay?

Yeah. Yep.

Almost there.

I got a special spot I like.

It's coming.

Okay?

Okay.

You want to get high?

No, I'm good. Thank you.

You mind if I do?

- No, do your thing.

- Thank you.

What's that?

On your eye?

Someone rough with you?

Yeah.

Sorry to hear that.

I love this song.

Get up, K.O.!

Come on.

It's okay.

It's just water.

Okay?

Did you really think you could

trust a pimp and her whores?

Corrupt ex-cop turned P.I.?

You're smarter than that.

She's gone.

You're never gonna

see her again.

Nobody's looking

because nobody cares.

You can speak.

Fuck you.

It's okay.

What's your mother's name?

It's Jaya, right?

Be back in a couple of hours.

Fuck.

- Hey, Dad.

- Where is he?

In the basement.

Find the girl first.

Then come back

and take care of this.

All right, she's been

on foot for about an hour or so.

She can't have got

too far, okay?

You head towards the river,

and you head toward

the interstate,

and then loop back around.

You fucked this up!

Kid, get up!

Get up!

I'm always cleaning up

your shit!

Now, get the fuck outta here!

Go!

Fuck!

Oh!

I'm not hungry.

Give it to Junior.

Thanks, Mom.

Thought you weren't

working overnight.

Yeah, something came up.

Thank you.

Eww. Puddle of yolk.

Okay, you finish those eggs

and be ready for school

- in, like, 10 to 15.

- Okay, Dad.

Good man.

Junior, you ready?

Little man.

Hey.

It's gonna be okay.

Where is she?

Where's my sister?

Junior.

Hey. Nothing's gonna happen...

Fuck! Ahh!

Fuck you!

I'll cut this shit off if

you don't tell me somethin'.

Did you hear me?

I said I'll cut

her fuckin' ear off.

You're gonna fuckin' talk.

You gonna tell me somethin'?

Talk!

Where is she?

You're never gonna find her.

Shit.

Oh, fuck.

I'm gonna ask you

some questions.

You're gonna give me answers.

And if you don't...

I'm gonna hurt your son.

Have you seen this girl before?

- No.

- Don't fuckin' lie to me, really look.

I haven't seen her before.

Who's this?

His father, Willie.

What does he do?

He's a businessman.

He owns a bunch of land

along the lake.

You know what this

piece of shit does, right?

If I were you,

I'd walk away.

He do that to you?

What do you think?

Yo, man, what the fuck?

I've been tryin' to

hit you up all day.

Next batch is ready

to go out.

4:30 at The Yards.

Hit me back, man.

Later.

What's The Yards?

It's a train yard his father

owns near the lake.

It's where they

send the girls north.

Don't move.

Go to the back.

Let's go.

Keep goin'.

Open it.

Come on.

Where are they?

The warehouse.

Drop your phone

and give me your keys.

Get in. Go.

Keep goin'. Back.

Weeta?

What the fuck?

Who opened...

Fuck.

Get outta here, girls. Go!

Fuck!

Oh, God.

Turn over.

I said turn over.

Please. I'm sorry.

Help me. Please.

Tell me where my sister is.

Please.

I'm sorry.

Please.

Don't leave me.

Let me go. Please.

I'm sorry.

Please.

Get up.

Get up. You're taking me

to his father.

Is that it?

- Yeah.

- Pull over here.

He got security?

Just a guard at the front.

All right. Come on.

Where's Willie?

He's in the library

having dinner.

I'm gonna use the bathroom.

Okay.

9-1-1.

What's your emergency?

Look at me, Linda.

You need to toughen up.

You can't keep coming here

every time Bobby acts out.

Remember.

We accepted you into this family

as one of us.

What is this?

Junior.

Junior. Junior!

Turn around slowly.

Do you know who I am?

Yes.

You're looking for your sister.

Where is she?

Where's Weeta?

You think I remember

their names?

I killed your son,

motherfucker.

Bobby's dead.

Want to tell me somethin' now?

Five minute warning for K.O.

- Mama K.O.

- Hey, Brick. How you doin'?

Come on in.

She's back here.

Bring your arm back.

Hold it.

Hey, Ma.

Hey.

Thought you said

you weren't comin'.

Changed my mind.

It's your first fight

in a long time,

you know, so...

Well, thanks. For comin'.

You're welcome.

- Miss Uppeshau.

- Yeah.

You know I hate doin' this,

but we gotta get ready.

Right. I understand.

All right, look, focus.

Focus up.

This is your comeback.

Come on, let's go.

Keep touchin'.

Little touches.

Just get loose.

Yep. Step back.

Jab. One, two.

One, two.

Yeah.

Now go under. Yep.

Yep. Ready?

One, two, three. Under.

Yep. Yep. Break.
