(soft music)
- [Lena] My name is Lena and
that's my husband, Chris.
(police sirens)
Here's what I remember.
I was 30 years old carrying
my first and only child
and we just got married.
It wasn't long before he
was taken away from me.
I, I hit rock bottom and was
left to figure it all out.
(police sirens)
Now I'm here.
It's been five years since
my husband's been gone.
I spent all of our savings.
I lost my salon too.
So here I am back renting one
and I can barely afford that.
- [Terry] Hey mommy.
- [Lena] That's Terry.
So tired.
She's my closest friend.
I've known her for a while now.
She's been helping
with all of this.
You know what?
I think I'm gonna run out
and get something to eat.
That's what I'ma do.
- Yes. Can you grab
me something please?
- Oh no. You still
owe me from last time.
- I could owe you
hugs and kisses.
- Terry.
- Mm. You gonna leave
your bestie hangin?
- I'm about to run
out for lunch y'all.
Y'all want something?
- No, no thank you.
- All right. I'll be back.
Ah feels good in here.
Can I get my usual please?
- I got you.
- How you doing?
- All right.
- Hey, yo Black. What's good?
- What up, man? Hey,
let me get my usual.
You know how I do it?
- [Cook] I got you.
- I do believe I
was here before you.
- Oh, my bad.
I ain't mean to skip
in front of you.
Put her food on my
tab just because.
- No, I, I don't need
you to buy me anything.
- You might not want me to,
but I'm gonna do it
cuz I want do it.
- Thank you, sir.
- Wait, what you, hold on.
I know you hear me
talking to you. Hold on.
Why you in such a
rush? Pace yourself.
- What? You, you buy me food.
So you think I owe
you a conversation?
- I mean, I was kind of hoping
you'd pay me in another way.
- Oh. Okay. (laughs) Bye.
- Hold on wait.
I'm just playing.
Learn how to laugh.
You know what I mean? You
don't gotta be uptight.
I promise you.
- So what? I mean you think

and what?
- I mean $20. I mean.
- Oh, okay.
That's what we doing.
- Yeah.

go. Before you go.
I know you got places
to be. Before you go.
Here put your number in there.
- What is it, Black? Right?
I don't know you. Okay.
And honestly, to know me
is to know food is not gonna
get you my phone number.
- Well, if it makes
you feel any better,
I was raised to give
a woman what she want.
Look, I run the South side
and pretty soon I be
running the whole city.
Yeah.
They call me Black.
But since you won't give me
your number, just take mine.
How that sound?
Don't think too long. What's up?
- All right. Here.
- That's more like it.
And look, text me if you
need anything. Seriously.
Anything.
You got it? Lock me in.

Enjoy your food by the

Ay yo G. What's good

You look better.
- Mm.

- Oh man.
So I got you some food.
- Oh, you love me.
Thank you mama.
- Ah shit, what time is it?
- Ooh, it is.
- What time is it?
- Almost two o'clock.
- Okay. Let me run to the back.
Hubby's gonna call me, okay?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- I'll be right back.
Here we go.
(text keys)
(sighs)
- Well dang, that was quick.
- Girl. Yeah.
He said he had to
call me back. So man,
I feel like these calls are
getting shorter and shorter.
- About a year to go, right?
- [Lena] Yeah.
I miss my baby and
Miles needs his father.
But he did say he might get
released a little early.
So I'm hoping, please.
- Nice. I know you happy.
- It's just, it's just so
hard without him, you know?
I just want my old life back.
- I know. I know you do.
And that means a
new location, ma'am?
- Oh yeah.
A new place. A new
life. A new everything.
- Right.
- Okay.
- You deserve it.
Oh, before I forget,
I gotta shoot out.
I gotta go handle
some stuff. So.
- You gotta leave
earlier again, Terry?
I better not catch you on them
streets, twerking and stuff.

Be like, Hey a a a a.

No, I gotta go

You're four months

months and 28 days.
- Oh, don't play with me.
Don't do that.
Now you get me my money.
I don't want part of it.
I don't want half of it.
I want all of it. Or I'm
shutting this shop down.
You understand me?
Now I gave you time.
I gave it to you because
I believed in you.
I saw something in
you that I saw in me.
But you are not the
woman. I thought you was.
- Ms. Morgan. Don't.
- You're not a
woman of your word.
Now get me my money!
- I said, I will
have your money.
- I hope you do.
Because if you don't,
you won't have a shop.
So you make up your mind
because I'm going to do it.

(smooches) Good night.
(soft music)
(sobbing)
(text sent chimes)
(soft music continues)
(vibration of phone)
(text sent chimes)
This is where everything
started to change.
They say desperate times
call for desperate measures.
And I admit I was desperate.
- Hi. Yes, girl!
Everybody knows that I am
the superstar up here in
Lena's salon.
- Glitter, don't you start
that foolishness today.
- A a a y'all heard
what she called me.
Glitter!
I bring in high end clients
to the trenches. Okay?
Oh, and here's one
of my clients now.
Ladies, let me introduce
y'all to Ms. a Tiffany Fox.
- [Everybody] Hey.
- Hiya. Hi Glitter.
- Hey girl. I ain't
seen you in a while.
- I know I've been on the road.
But you have to come home
so you can get me together.
- Yes, because I don't know who
you been letting do your hair,
but you know I'm gonna
get you together.
I'm gonna get you to, I'm
gonna get you together.
- I'm gonna take this
outside. I'll be back.
- Oh, so we taking
private calls now?
- Shut it up Glitter!
(door closes)
- She worried
about taking calls.
She need to be worried
about getting her shop back.
- Oh, Glitter.
- [Woman] Glitter!
- That's none of your business.
- You defended her.
But you know Lena used to have
all the celebrity clients.
I'm the only one
still with mine.
- She's going through a
rough time. (speaks Spanish)
- Yeah. Well.
- Whatever she
said. I don't know.
- It's been too long.
Time to make somethin
shake, you know?
- Glitter!
- Shake shake shake sha
shake sha shake. Ay.
Shake shake shake sha
shake kitty kitty!
Shake shake shake sh shake.
- Focus on your client.
- Girl. Stop it.
- Hey.
I'm at the shop working. Yeah.
What you doing?
No. I don't, I don't
have any plans.
Where are you
taking me? (laughs)
Okay. I'll be ready.
Later.
(laughs) Oh. Mm. Mm mm mm.
(hip hop music plays)
- I got this. Of course.
Anything for you.
- Wow. This is nice.
- Yeah. I figured you
would like this place.
- How you figure that?
- Cause I'm dealing with
somebody with class and taste.
It's the way I like it.
- You right.
I know him over there.
- Oh yeah. Heavy.
- He actually used to work with
my husband back in the day.
- Yeah. Me and Chris
both worked for Heavy.
- What, what, what
did you just say?
- Me and your husband.
Both worked for Heavy.
- No, no, no.
I heard what you said.
Like what the fuck?
- Calm down. We are in public.
I didn't think it
was a big deal.
- Oh.
- Don't look like that.
- Ah.
- Don't make that face.
I ain't gotta be
in your life long.
I know where your husband is.
And by the looks of it
you too damn fine to be
stressing about anything.
If you really want me gone
after this is all over,
I'll be done out your life.
That's your call.
But in the meantime,
I said in the meantime.
You see him? That's our key.
How well you know him?
- I mean, we used to go
to school back in the day.
- See, that's exactly
what I'm talking about.
History.
That's the easiest way to get
what you want outta somebody.
I bet he trust you too.
- What are you implying?
- I don't think you understand
what I'm trying to tell you.
Look, we gotta
strategize, right?
- I.
- Because you tired
of struggling.
I don't wanna see you struggle.
You just wanna win.
And with me you will always win.
I got a plan.
Yeah. Let's get outta here.
Let's make moves.
Fix your face.
I got a plan.
- What was it about him?
I mean, everything in me
told me not to trust him
and there I was falling in love.
He was right though.
I had been down so long. I
just wanted to win again.
I wanted to be on top.
- Come on.
Come on. Lead the way.
So you have fun tonight or what?
- I wish I would've known
we were only gonna be there
for five minutes.
I wouldn't have worn this dress
or these damn heels.
- Stop complaining.
Don't complain.
I like it. I love to look
at you in that dress.
- I bet you do.
- You right about that.
- So. What's the history
between you and my husband?
- Me and Chris.
We like brothers.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah. We both
worked for Heavy,
but it was Chris that
showed me everything I know.
To be honest,
me and Heavy really
ain't see eye to eye
and I figured why work for
somebody else and take orders
if all you really need is you.
So I left his organization.
Ain't nothing.
- And why y'all
don't speak anymore?
- I mean, to be honest, I came
here to spend time with you.
I ain't come here to talk
about Heavy all night.
Where Miles?
- Miles is at his grandparents.
Hm. That boy keeps
his mama going.
- Right. I see it.
- You know, I don't believe in
messing with my
husband's friends.
- I understand that.
But you know what else?
I think you should stop
saying what you won't do.
Cause you told me
you wasn't gonna,
you told me you wasn't
gonna call me, right?
(Lena laughs)
And yet I'm here, sitting
right in your living room.
- Yeah.
But that's not cuz I wanted to.
- Exactly.
That's what I mean, you
did what you had to do.
Don't apologize for doing
what you gotta do to survive
and take care of
your family, right?
Not supposed to be like that.
But look though.
From the looks of it,
I wouldn't guess you
was missing a thing.
So we staying out here all night
or you gonna gimme a tour?
(kissing sounds)
You lead the way.
- You ready for this?
- Of course. I'm ready.
(hip hop music playing)
Hope you got a plan B.
Talkin' about you don't
think I can handle it.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
(kissing sounds)
- Last night was fun.
- Indeed it was.
- Oh man.
So babe.
- Yeah?
- You was talking about a plan
last night. What's the plan?
- Yeah, Heavy. He's our plan.
- What does Heavy have
to do with our plan?
- I want you to go back to
that club tomorrow night.
I want you to talk to Heavy.
Tell him you need 100K for
Chris while he locked up.
- What? 100k?
- Yeah.
- I'm not doing that shit.
No. Heavy is crazy.
If he finds out, he'll kill me.
- Relax. He ain't
killing nobody.
It's free money.
We gonna take that money
and make more money.
That is what you wanted, right?
- I mean, yeah,
but I don't have a good
feeling about this at all.
And it, Heavy's not
somebody you just roll up on
and have a conversation with.
- Nah, see.
Heavy will always let an
old friend get near him.
I mean, Chris was Heavy's prize
possession back in the day.
He did the most numbers for him.
When he see you,
he'll feel obligated.
Don't worry about it.
- I, I don't know.
I don't know about that.
- He trust you, but I
need you to trust me.
All right?
(smooches) It's gonna be okay.
In this together.
Ain't nobody got
you like I got you.
(church music playing)
(Terry sobbing)
- You're early.
You know, service
isn't until Sunday.
- This is the only place that
really reminds me of her.
- Yeah. Your grandmother
was a great woman, Terry.
She loved God and this church.
- I'm just trying to
make sense of this all.
- Well, you see that's the thing
because sometimes
God does things
that we don't always understand.
- She was on the
floor for hours.
No one knew.
I'd been saying that I was
gonna go by and see her.
But I was just so caught up
with what I had going on that.
- Listen Terry.
You've got to
forgive yourself too.
I mean a heart attack
is very unpredictable.
How could you know?
- If it wasn't for
her night nurse
she would've been laying there
still waiting for
me to come home.
- Your grandmother knew
that you loved her.
So don't question that and
certainly don't question God.
This is what you really
need to ask yourself.
What's really stopping you
from coming home now? Hmm?
Look. Tell you what.
Whenever you're ready, you'll
have all the support here.
We'll be here.
Better yet, He'll be here too.
♪ But I'll always
be with you, baby ♪
- Can I help you?
- Uh, I'm here to see Heavy.

him being cute,
but I know he is my homie, so.

He used to be my top earner
when I worked for Heavy.
- Mm. Okay.

Upstate for a little bit,

so. But I ain't counting.

to work for him,
but he's gonna be away for a
long time. So it's all good.

do to put food on the table.

Nah, it's all good, bro.
- Today's your day. Enjoy it.

- Damn baby. Good morning.
- Good morning.
How you doing?
- Better now.
You know how amazing
it is to see you
make breakfast for
me in the morning?
- Mhm. You know
I'ma put together
a little something
something for you.
- More than a little
something something.
(Lena chuckles)
I wanna thank you for
dinner last night.
Oh man, that food was amazing.
- I try.
- Ah, you do more than try.
It was also good to
catch up with Black.
Man, we haven't
talked for years.
I mean, you know, he put
some money in my books
and sent the occasional
message to me
through some of the
guys in the yard.
But, I think last night we
got back to where we belong.
- Babe uh.
I just want you to know that
life got really
lonely without you.
I mean, it was
just me and Miles.
And I felt like my whole
world was caving in.
One moment I have everything.
And then the next moment it
just was gone in a flash.
I mean, I'm even back
to renting my shop now.
I don't know. I, I just, I
feel like somewhere in between,
somewhere in between,
I fell outta love.
- Baby, I don't want
you to ever think that
I don't understand what
you've been through.
I'm thankful for every
visit, for every call.
I missed you and Miles so much.
But now that I'm back,
I gotta figure out how to
get us back to where we were.
But I'm out the game.
I ain't doing that shit no more.
I'm not going back inside.
I'm not doing anything to
separate me from my family.
- Chris, I.
- Lena. Look, you
gotta trust me.
You gotta let me handle this.
Okay?
Look.
I got something
for you. (laughs)
- What is that?
- See.
- That's beautiful.
- When I was locked
up, I was in the Penn.
- Mhm.
- Every Sunday, this preacher
would come to the stop, right?
- Uh-huh.
- He would come.
He would talk to us.
He would always say, "Jesus,
keep me near the cross."
And I was like, "What
the hell does that mean?"
He said, "I can't teach
you how to find God.
But in time of trouble and hard
times, God would find you."
So when I was locked up
and I was going through it
and I was missing you and Miles.
That kept me sane.
It kept me alive.
You kept me alive.
I want you to have it.
- Thank you, babe.
(kissing sound)
- Love you.
- I love you more.
- I'm hungry.
- You know what I
was thinking too?
- What?
- Remember last
night at the dinner,
when Terry was talking all that
stuff about her ex-boyfriend
and the robberies?
I was like, what in the hell?
- Yo. That was crazy.
- In all my years.
Nah, seriously.
In all my years I've known
her, I've never heard that.
- Really?
- No I didn't, I.
Not a peep from her about
anything like that. Crazy, right?
- Man, you could know
somebody for a long time.
- A long time.
- Not really know them.
Life is crazy like that.
Cheers to us.

- [Woman] Hi. Welcome to Lena's.
How can I help you?
- Yeah. Tell Lena
I'm here to see her.
- Just a moment.
There's somewhere
here to see you.
- Thank you.
I'll be right back, okay?
- What's good ma? How you doing?
- What are you doing here?
- Take it down a few notches.
Really I was just here.
Just pass by to see
how you was doing.
I wanted to give you a
little something. How Miles?
- Miles is fine. I'm fine.
And I guess it is
good that you pass by
cuz me and Miles
need some things
cuz Chris is still
getting on his feet.
- Right.
Well a real man
provides for his family
by any means necessary.
- Excuse you?
- Hey, I'm just saying.
- Okay. You know I'm dealing
with a lot right now, okay?
When Chris was away things
were a whole lot easier.
But now that he's
back, I don't know.
I just feel like the worst
person knowing that I was.
- Knowing what?
- Knowing that I'm in
love with the only man
my husband trusts.
And then you had the nerve
to come by the other night.
What the fuck was
that all about?
- Look, you know
what we gotta do.
Things keep moving like this.
You'll be able to get
out this small ass salon
into something more
fit for a queen.
Probably never have to work
again a day in your life.
- It is not that easy, okay?
And you can't keep
showing up to places
you know Chris is gonna be.
- Look, I'm gonna head out.
Try not to spend
it so fast as time.
Don't be scared. Take it.
- You always looking
out for me, huh?
I appreciate you.
- Right.
- Who's outside with you today?
- Oh, just a few of my boys.
You know I'm the biggest
on the South side.
You know I'm the
king. It's my palace.
You could be the queen.
You could run it with me.
Yeah.
But look tonight
everything's still in motion
and this drop I'm about to get,
change your life forever.
- Like I, I think that maybe.
- Stop stressing. Calm down.
Take your ass back to work.
(door closes)
- Hey baby.
- Baby, what you doing here?
- I got these for you.
- You got me flowers?
- Yeah. I wanna make you smile.
- Look at you.
- I miss you. (smooches)
thought about you all day.
- Thank you.
- Can I talk to
you for a minute?
- Sure.
- All right. Come on.
Well, I've been really thinking
about the conversation we had.
If I can't find a job
doing something else,
I'ma have to do what I gotta do.
- What? When did
you decide this?
- Today.
- Today?
- Baby. I can't
lose you and Miles.
And this is what it takes
to make you live the way
you wanna live, so be it.
I gotta take care of my family.
- Chris. I, I just.
- No. So listen baby.
Tonight I'm gonna
meet up with Black.
And I got some other
business to tend to,
but I want you to remember
I'm doing this for us.
- And you're meeting
up with Black?
- Yeah
Baby. Don't worry
about it. I got this.
- No. No and no.
I, I just don't have a
good feeling about this.
I don't, I don't have a
good feeling about this.
- You don't trust me?
- I just don't have a

- Baby. I got this.
Don't worry about it.
Look, I'm gonna be home late.

(knocking on door) Okay.
Hello.
- [Detective Campbell]
Good morning, ma'am.
My name is detective Campbell.
I was wondering if you have
a moment for us to speak.
- Speak with you about what?
- We're currently investigating
a robbery that took place a
couple nights ago.
- Do I have something
to do with that?
- [Detective Campbell]
No, not exactly.
But you were seen with
someone who may be involved.
May I come in?
- Sure.
- You were seen at
the club, Flows.
And there was someone
sitting at the bar with you.
- Okay?
- His name is Quentin Rogers,
but you may know him
as the name Black.
What exactly were the
two of you discussing?
- That's your question?
What we were discussing?
- Mr. Rogers has a um,
history of finding the
most beautiful women
and using his charm against
their vulnerability.
It is not long before
he has these women
doing anything that he says.
Look. I'm just trying
to figure out if
maybe he mentioned anything
about something he's tied into.
Or maybe he tried to
coerce into anything.
- Cops. Everybody's
guilty, right? Hmm?
But if you must know, no, he
invited me out for drinks.
And what he was discussing is
taking me out on another date.
Yeah.
- Have you dealt with Mr. Rogers
in any other capacity?
- [Lena] No, I have not.
- Hi buddy. What's your name?
- Miles.
- I love that name.
What are you up to?
- Come here, baby. Come here.
I need you to go up to your
room and finish playing with
your toys, okay?
I'll be up there in
a second. Go ahead.
- I love kids.
- Yeah.
- You have a beautiful son.
- Thank you.
- Listen. If anything comes up,
would you just give me a call?
- You know what?
I'm fine. Actually.
I'm a big girl and
I can handle myself.
- I'm not saying that you can't
take care of yourself, Lena.
But I'm trying to warn you
that this guy is
really dangerous.
So be careful.
♪ Welcome to the future
- I just wanted you to know
that everything we set out to do
it's already in motion.
Chris, no longer a problem.
And I hate it had
to be that way,
but what was I supposed to do?
I knew Chris was
gonna come home.
Jump right back in the
streets with Heavy.
I knew Chris was gonna take
over Heavy's operation next.
I knew that. I knew it was
only a matter of time before
Heavy got Chris to
try to take me out.
I couldn't let that happen.
Truth be told better
his life than mine.
Look little bro.
I love you.
And I ain't gonna forget
what they did to you.
I ain't having no
mercy on nobody.

And he said he got some

Chris would've been hit me

What's your angle, man?
- Yeah, where you

- So you expect me

could do to pay my gratitude.
I'm trying to be down

- Yes, well. Show him around.
- You got it, boss.
- Man, keep your eyes

Somethin about him. I just

- What? I'm good.
- Come on Lee Lee. You know
you can't hide from me.
I had you.
I was talking to your
sisters this morning
and they said they
hadn't heard from you.
- I've been busy.
- Too busy for your family?
Come on, Lena.
Stop making excuses
for yourself.
- I'm not making
excuses, first of all.
And I'm, I don't know.
I just feel like a lot in
life I've disconnected from.
- Well, it sure
hasn't stopped you
from bringing my grandson
over here every other day.
And you need to make sure that
that baby is spending time
with you. He needs his mom.
- Oh so now you give
parenting advice?
- I beg your pardon?
- I'm just saying
I've watched you ma. You
tend to everybody else
but yourself.
- That's what a mother does.
- So the bruises go a
long with it too, huh?
You know, growing up I
watched you and daddy.
And you know what I said?
I would never allow a man to
make me feel the way daddy made
you feel, weak.
- So that's what
we're doing today?
That's what we're doing today?
So you're miserable and you
think you're gonna come up here
in my house and make
me miserable too?
That's not gonna
happen. Listen, baby.
I had you and your
sisters to think about.
And I know that your father,
God knows he was not the best,
but I stand behind every
decision that I made back then.
And now.
- Yeah.
Did you ever once think what
you were teaching us though?
- What I was teaching you?
- Yes.
- If anything,
I taught you and your sisters
how to be strong and how to
fight for your family.
- No. No ma.
- I that's what I taught you.
- No. What you taught us,
you taught us how to pretend.
That's what you taught us.
You know what? Look, I
matter of fact, you right
I'm not doing this today.
I'ma get outta here.
I need you to watch Miles

- Good. I need to

- What?

But baby, he is a changed man.

Stupid. Dummy.
(door creaks open)
- [Lena] Terry, you got
some nerve bringing your ass
up in here.
- I've been calling and
texting you with no response.
- And you wasn't
going to get one.
I suggest you pack up
all your little shit
and take your little
trifling ass out of here.
- Really?
- How long you been
sleeping with Black?
- I'm not sleeping
with Black Lena.
- Bullshit!
- Lena, I work for Black.
Okay? I work for Black, Lena.
The other night when I
was over by his place,
I was just getting ready for
a high end client. That's it?
Nothing happened.
- Take that too.
- Lena, sit down.
It's time for you
to know the truth.
- No, I'm not sitting down.
What the fuck do
you have to say?
- All right.
Remember the other night when
you had us over for dinner
and I mentioned my
ex-boyfriend to you?
What I didn't tell you
is that Black and my ex,
they know each other.
They used to do
business together.
And I was part of
that merchandise.
Lena I've been prostituting
since I was 16.
- You've been doing what?
- Yeah.
And I can't tell you how
many men I've been with
or what they made me do.
- So is that why you
keep running outta here
all early every day?
- No, that's not all.
I was accepted into a nursing
school program a while back.
I'm two semesters
away from finishing.
- Why you never told
me this till now?
- I didn't tell you because
for the first time in my life
I can see the finish
line, you know?
I just didn't wanna
speak too soon.
Okay. I get it.
Lena, Black ain't a good person.
He uses every woman
to get what he wants
the same way he used
you to get rid of Chris.
A few years ago, Black's
little brother Twan was killed
doing a night drop for Heavy.
Black blames Heavy for getting
his little brother killed.
This ain't the life
for me no more.
I moved here from Mexico
to be here with abuelita.
She's dead.
There ain't nothing else
here for me no more.
So I'm transferring schools.
- Terry. Listen.
I'm sorry, okay?
I'm sorry I treated
you like that.
I'm I'm sorry I
wasn't here for you.
- I know your heart chica,
but take it from me.
Get out this life.
It ain't worth it.
Okay?
I gotta go.
- Terry.
You are always welcome here.
Always.
- Thank you.
(Machine whirring)
- Black!
- Just the person
I wanted to see.
What'd you find out?
- Man, I found out everything.
- Everything?
That's what I'm talking about?
Who the connect?
- Some white boy. He go
by the name Stevenson.
Say he outta Orange County.
- Stevenson?
- Yeah.
- Orange county?
I don't know. That don't
sound too familiar to me.
You got his info?
- Yeah.
- Let me check this out.
Hm. It look legit.
- Yeah.
- So how many dudes Heavy
got running with him?
- I mean he running with
three, so we should be good.
- Three?
- Yeah. I think we're good.
- That ain't too many.
All right.
So here's the next part of this
I need you to get 'em all here.
Cause at this point
they trust you.
- Get 'em here how?
- Figure it out!
Cause when you do, I'm gonna
lay 'em all out one by one.
- Wait, wait.
So you going to kill them?
- You asking a lot of questions
and I don't like that.
- Black. I just don't remember
that being part of the plan.
You got the connect.
Ain't that enough?
- It's never enough. RJ.
It's bigger than that.
You look nervous.
- I'm good.
- Got a reason to be nervous?
- I'm good man.
- Look RJ. RJ don't make
me shoot you in your face
and throw your ass in the
trunk of one of these cars.
Look you either with
me or you're in my way.
What it's gonna be?
- I'm with you
Black. I'm with you.
- You with me?
- Yeah, I got you.
- Don't be another
person in the way.
Ain't no bullets
in it. Look at you.
You a little sweaty
man. Fix your shirt.
Fix your chain. Oh you shining.
You getting too much money.
Hey RJ. You doing a good job.
I catch you later my man.
He gonna get his ass smoked.

But yeah, like I was saying.

- We're closed,
come back tomorrow.
- Lee Lee.
So this is famous
Lena's hair salon?
This is nice. This where
all the money coming in?
Oh man.
Yeah. I like this.
- What are you doing here?
- You know what I'm doing
here. How your mom's doing?
- No, I don't know
what you're doing here.
- Well, Chris came home.
He was supposed to
run all this for me.
Maybe I get a salon
too and get that money.
What you do with the money?
- What, what money?
Chris got all that money.
- That's a lie.
Word on the street is you
giving money out to Black.
You're funding his operation.
- There is no me and Black.
What are you talking about?
- You know the worst thing
I hate about a person?
Becoming a liar.
(cocks gun)
- Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
- Let me tell you something.
- Okay. Please don't hurt me.
- You got 24 hours
for a hundred grand.
If I don't get my money bitch,
you'll never see your son again.
(Lena crying)
You understand what
I'm saying to you?
- I got it. I will have
your money. I'll have it.
(door creaks open and closes)
(sobbing)
Oh my god.
- What's good homie?
- Shit, what you got
left on that thing, man?
- I got like an
(indistinct) left, really.
- Okay. Okay.
- I gotta (indistinct)
for the whole thing.
- Oh, so you need
another 18 for that 36?
- Yeah, soon as I get
straight I got you.
- Okay. Yo who that right there?
- All right man.
So what you got?
What you got on that thing, man?
I gotta go see Heavy yo.
- I got five right here.
- Oh five? Oh, lemme get that.
Oh let's see what's up with
this dude right here, man.
Watch out. Watch out. Let me
see what's up with this dude.
- What's good homie?
(gun fires)
(tires squeel off)
- What's going on mama?
- Hey dad.
- Hey little man.
You getting big.
And you shining. Okay.
I see your work.
- Go play Marcus.
- Okay.
- I'll talk to you in a few.
- Okay.
- That's my little
man's growing up fast.
I got something for you, mama.
- Now what is this?
- It's money. I give
you some every week.
- Yes. Yes you do.
And I never once questioned you.
But I should have asked
you a long time ago
where is this money coming from?
You look at me, Black.
The streets are talking
and I don't like what
I'm hearing about my son.
The murders. Is
that you doing that?
- Ma, I told you don't
be listening to that.
- Tell me the truth,
Quentin. Is it you?
- I told you.
How long Twan been gone Ma?
- Mh-mm.
- How long?
- Don't you do that.
Don't you put your
brother's name into this.
- My brother is the
reason I am the way I am.
When they took him, he took
a piece of me with him.
I don't give a
fuck how they feel.
- (slapping sound) Don't
you raise your voice at me.
- I'm sorry, mama.
- You're going about
this the wrong way.
Do you really think your brother
would want you doing this?
Do you?
I'm warning you Black.
The knife cuts both ways.
And if you don't stop, you're
going to get yourself hurt.
I've already lost one son.
And what about him?
He needs you to be his father.
Quentin, do the right thing.
- I had been calling
Black over and over
knowing I needed to get
this money to Heavy.
I must admit I was shocked
when he actually showed up.
I just don't know
what to say Black.
- Oh, you don't?
You don't gotta say much.
It's a hundred
grand in that bag.
It's enough for you to
pay Heavy back and more.
(unzips bag)
- What about you?
- What about me?
I got a big drop tonight.
It's too hot down here
for me to even stay.
Even if I wanted to.
So I'm gonna go grab my son
and I'm outta here
by tomorrow morning.
I'm heading Upstate.
- Your son? You got a son?
- Yeah, my son.
- Take care of yourself, Black.
- Definitely.
- They the new Bonnie
and Clyde, huh?
- Man it's only been 24 hours.
She out here moving with this.
- I'm telling you,
she's in on it.
I'ma handle this.
- Nah, I got this one.
(car pulls up)
(somber music plays)
(police sirens and
indistinct radio chatter)
- Oh, I was just texting you.
- Oh yeah? It's all there?
- I got your money.
- Yeah just the way I like it.
- Yeah. It's all there.
- Yeah. Yeah.
That's what I'm talking about.
You know it was never just
about the money, right?
You know money's important,
but you know the one thing I
never liked that you be doing?
- Yeah?
- Showin no damn respect.
(gun fires and Lena screams)
- In the end we
both paid a price.
(indistinct radio chatter)
Black was sentenced to
10 years for trafficking.
But me?
I paid the ultimate price.
(car horns honking)
- Hey, welcome back.
- Hey.
- Are you dining
alone again tonight?
- Nope. Not tonight.
- Okay. Look at you. I'll be
back in a few minutes then.
- All right. Thank you.
It took you long enough.
- We did it.
- (laughing) I know.
- Oh man. You're so amazing.

- [Lena] My name is Lena and
that's my husband, Chris.
(police sirens)
Here's what I remember.
I was 30 years old carrying
my first and only child
and we just got married.
It wasn't long before he
was taken away from me.
I, I hit rock bottom and was
left to figure it all out.
(police sirens)
Now I'm here.
It's been five years since
my husband's been gone.
I spent all of our savings.
I lost my salon too.
So here I am back renting one
and I can barely afford that.
- [Terry] Hey mommy.
- [Lena] That's Terry.
So tired.
She's my closest friend.
I've known her for a while now.
She's been helping
with all of this.
You know what?
I think I'm gonna run out
and get something to eat.
That's what I'ma do.
- Yes. Can you grab
me something please?
- Oh no. You still
owe me from last time.
- I could owe you
hugs and kisses.
- Terry.
- Mm. You gonna leave
your bestie hangin?
- I'm about to run
out for lunch y'all.
Y'all want something?
- No, no thank you.
- All right. I'll be back.
Ah feels good in here.
Can I get my usual please?
- I got you.
- How you doing?
- All right.
- Hey, yo Black. What's good?
- What up, man? Hey,
let me get my usual.
You know how I do it?
- [Cook] I got you.
- I do believe I
was here before you.
- Oh, my bad.
I ain't mean to skip
in front of you.
Put her food on my
tab just because.
- No, I, I don't need
you to buy me anything.
- You might not want me to,
but I'm gonna do it
cuz I want do it.
- Thank you, sir.
- Wait, what you, hold on.
I know you hear me
talking to you. Hold on.
Why you in such a
rush? Pace yourself.
- What? You, you buy me food.
So you think I owe
you a conversation?
- I mean, I was kind of hoping
you'd pay me in another way.
- Oh. Okay. (laughs) Bye.
- Hold on wait.
I'm just playing.
Learn how to laugh.
You know what I mean? You
don't gotta be uptight.
I promise you.
- So what? I mean you think
you buy me a $20 takeout plate
and what?
- I mean $20. I mean.
- Oh, okay.
That's what we doing.
- Yeah.
- Okay. You know
what? I better go.
- How about this?
- I better. I better go.
- Look before you
go. Before you go.
I know you got places
to be. Before you go.
Here put your number in there.
- What is it, Black? Right?
I don't know you. Okay.
And honestly, to know me
is to know food is not gonna
get you my phone number.
- Well, if it makes
you feel any better,
I was raised to give
a woman what she want.
Look, I run the South side
and pretty soon I be
running the whole city.
Yeah.
They call me Black.
But since you won't give me
your number, just take mine.
How that sound?
Don't think too long. What's up?
- All right. Here.
- That's more like it.
And look, text me if you
need anything. Seriously.
Anything.
You got it? Lock me in.
- Wait on it. Wait on it.
- B L A C K, all right?
Enjoy your food by the
way. Now you can leave.
Ay yo G. What's good
with that food, man?
- [Terry] All right.
You look better.
- Mm.
- What happened?
- Oh man.
So I got you some food.
- Oh, you love me.
Thank you mama.
- Ah shit, what time is it?
- Ooh, it is.
- What time is it?
- Almost two o'clock.
- Okay. Let me run to the back.
Hubby's gonna call me, okay?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- I'll be right back.
Here we go.
(text keys)
(sighs)
- Well dang, that was quick.
- Girl. Yeah.
He said he had to
call me back. So man,
I feel like these calls are
getting shorter and shorter.
- About a year to go, right?
- [Lena] Yeah.
I miss my baby and
Miles needs his father.
But he did say he might get
released a little early.
So I'm hoping, please.
- Nice. I know you happy.
- It's just, it's just so
hard without him, you know?
I just want my old life back.
- I know. I know you do.
And that means a
new location, ma'am?
- Oh yeah.
A new place. A new
life. A new everything.
- Right.
- Okay.
- You deserve it.
Oh, before I forget,
I gotta shoot out.
I gotta go handle
some stuff. So.
- You gotta leave
earlier again, Terry?
I better not catch you on them
streets, twerking and stuff.
(Terry laughs)
Be like, Hey a a a a.
- I'm not. Whatever
girl. Whatever.
No, I gotta go
handle some stuff,
but I will see you tomorrow.
And let me get my
stuff real quick.
But thanks for the food.

What league you in? MLB?
(everyone laughing)
- Don't do me like that,
Black. Don't do me like that.
- I got another cancellation!
- Girl, I'm gone.
- All right, girl. I'm
right behind you. Damn.
- [Girl] Ms. Morgan's outside.
- Lena!
- Look, I know Ms. Morgan.
I'm gonna have your money.
Just gimme a couple days.
- A couple of days?
You're four months
behind on your rent.
And yet here you are
asking me for more time.
- Actually it's three
months and 28 days.
- Oh, don't play with me.
Don't do that.
Now you get me my money.
I don't want part of it.
I don't want half of it.
I want all of it. Or I'm
shutting this shop down.
You understand me?
Now I gave you time.
I gave it to you because
I believed in you.
I saw something in
you that I saw in me.
But you are not the
woman. I thought you was.
- Ms. Morgan. Don't.
- You're not a
woman of your word.
Now get me my money!
- I said, I will
have your money.
- I hope you do.
Because if you don't,
you won't have a shop.
So you make up your mind
because I'm going to do it.
(door creaks open) Get it!

This is where everything
started to change.
They say desperate times
call for desperate measures.
And I admit I was desperate.
- Hi. Yes, girl!
Everybody knows that I am
the superstar up here in
Lena's salon.
- Glitter, don't you start
that foolishness today.
- A a a y'all heard
what she called me.
Glitter!
I bring in high end clients
to the trenches. Okay?
Oh, and here's one
of my clients now.
Ladies, let me introduce
y'all to Ms. a Tiffany Fox.
- [Everybody] Hey.
- Hiya. Hi Glitter.
- Hey girl. I ain't
seen you in a while.
- I know I've been on the road.
But you have to come home
so you can get me together.
- Yes, because I don't know who
you been letting do your hair,
but you know I'm gonna
get you together.
I'm gonna get you to, I'm
gonna get you together.
- I'm gonna take this
outside. I'll be back.
- Oh, so we taking
private calls now?
- Shut it up Glitter!
(door closes)
- She worried
about taking calls.
She need to be worried
about getting her shop back.
- Oh, Glitter.
- [Woman] Glitter!
- That's none of your business.
- You defended her.
But you know Lena used to have
all the celebrity clients.
I'm the only one
still with mine.
- She's going through a
rough time. (speaks Spanish)
- Yeah. Well.
- Whatever she
said. I don't know.
- It's been too long.
Time to make somethin
shake, you know?
- Glitter!
- Shake shake shake sha
shake sha shake. Ay.
Shake shake shake sha
shake kitty kitty!
Shake shake shake sh shake.
- Focus on your client.
- Girl. Stop it.
- Hey.
I'm at the shop working. Yeah.
What you doing?
No. I don't, I don't
have any plans.
Where are you
taking me? (laughs)
Okay. I'll be ready.
Later.
(laughs) Oh. Mm. Mm mm mm.
(hip hop music plays)
- I got this. Of course.
Anything for you.
- Wow. This is nice.
- Yeah. I figured you
would like this place.
- How you figure that?
- Cause I'm dealing with
somebody with class and taste.
It's the way I like it.
- You right.
I know him over there.
- Oh yeah. Heavy.
- He actually used to work with
my husband back in the day.
- Yeah. Me and Chris
both worked for Heavy.
- What, what, what
did you just say?
- Me and your husband.
Both worked for Heavy.
- No, no, no.
I heard what you said.
Like what the fuck?
- Calm down. We are in public.
I didn't think it
was a big deal.
- Oh.
- Don't look like that.
- Ah.
- Don't make that face.
I ain't gotta be
in your life long.
I know where your husband is.
And by the looks of it
you too damn fine to be
stressing about anything.
If you really want me gone
after this is all over,
I'll be done out your life.
That's your call.
But in the meantime,
I said in the meantime.
You see him? That's our key.
How well you know him?
- I mean, we used to go
to school back in the day.
- See, that's exactly
what I'm talking about.
History.
That's the easiest way to get
what you want outta somebody.
I bet he trust you too.
- What are you implying?
- I don't think you understand
what I'm trying to tell you.
Look, we gotta
strategize, right?
- I.
- Because you tired
of struggling.
I don't wanna see you struggle.
You just wanna win.
And with me you will always win.
I got a plan.
Yeah. Let's get outta here.
Let's make moves.
Fix your face.
I got a plan.
- What was it about him?
I mean, everything in me
told me not to trust him
and there I was falling in love.
He was right though.
I had been down so long. I
just wanted to win again.
I wanted to be on top.
- Come on.
Come on. Lead the way.
So you have fun tonight or what?
- I wish I would've known
we were only gonna be there
for five minutes.
I wouldn't have worn this dress
or these damn heels.
- Stop complaining.
Don't complain.
I like it. I love to look
at you in that dress.
- I bet you do.
- You right about that.
- So. What's the history
between you and my husband?
- Me and Chris.
We like brothers.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah. We both
worked for Heavy,
but it was Chris that
showed me everything I know.
To be honest,
me and Heavy really
ain't see eye to eye
and I figured why work for
somebody else and take orders
if all you really need is you.
So I left his organization.
Ain't nothing.
- And why y'all
don't speak anymore?
- I mean, to be honest, I came
here to spend time with you.
I ain't come here to talk
about Heavy all night.
Where Miles?
- Miles is at his grandparents.
Hm. That boy keeps
his mama going.
- Right. I see it.
- You know, I don't believe in
messing with my
husband's friends.
- I understand that.
But you know what else?
I think you should stop
saying what you won't do.
Cause you told me
you wasn't gonna,
you told me you wasn't
gonna call me, right?
(Lena laughs)
And yet I'm here, sitting
right in your living room.
- Yeah.
But that's not cuz I wanted to.
- Exactly.
That's what I mean, you
did what you had to do.
Don't apologize for doing
what you gotta do to survive
and take care of
your family, right?
Not supposed to be like that.
But look though.
From the looks of it,
I wouldn't guess you
was missing a thing.
So we staying out here all night
or you gonna gimme a tour?
(kissing sounds)
You lead the way.
- You ready for this?
- Of course. I'm ready.
(hip hop music playing)
Hope you got a plan B.
Talkin' about you don't
think I can handle it.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
(kissing sounds)
- Last night was fun.
- Indeed it was.
- Oh man.
So babe.
- Yeah?
- You was talking about a plan
last night. What's the plan?
- Yeah, Heavy. He's our plan.
- What does Heavy have
to do with our plan?
- I want you to go back to
that club tomorrow night.
I want you to talk to Heavy.
Tell him you need 100K for
Chris while he locked up.
- What? 100k?
- Yeah.
- I'm not doing that shit.
No. Heavy is crazy.
If he finds out, he'll kill me.
- Relax. He ain't
killing nobody.
It's free money.
We gonna take that money
and make more money.
That is what you wanted, right?
- I mean, yeah,
but I don't have a good
feeling about this at all.
And it, Heavy's not
somebody you just roll up on
and have a conversation with.
- Nah, see.
Heavy will always let an
old friend get near him.
I mean, Chris was Heavy's prize
possession back in the day.
He did the most numbers for him.
When he see you,
he'll feel obligated.
Don't worry about it.
- I, I don't know.
I don't know about that.
- He trust you, but I
need you to trust me.
All right?
(smooches) It's gonna be okay.
In this together.
Ain't nobody got
you like I got you.
(church music playing)
(Terry sobbing)
- You're early.
You know, service
isn't until Sunday.
- This is the only place that
really reminds me of her.
- Yeah. Your grandmother
was a great woman, Terry.
She loved God and this church.
- I'm just trying to
make sense of this all.
- Well, you see that's the thing
because sometimes
God does things
that we don't always understand.
- She was on the
floor for hours.
No one knew.
I'd been saying that I was
gonna go by and see her.
But I was just so caught up
with what I had going on that.
- Listen Terry.
You've got to
forgive yourself too.
I mean a heart attack
is very unpredictable.
How could you know?
- If it wasn't for
her night nurse
she would've been laying there
still waiting for
me to come home.
- Your grandmother knew
that you loved her.
So don't question that and
certainly don't question God.
This is what you really
need to ask yourself.
What's really stopping you
from coming home now? Hmm?
Look. Tell you what.
Whenever you're ready, you'll
have all the support here.
We'll be here.
Better yet, He'll be here too.

the job at the shop,
I couldn't turn her down.
I told her. Yep. I'll

Babe, Black.
He used to be my top earner
when I worked for Heavy.
- Mm. Okay.
- He went away, went
Upstate for a little bit,
came back what? About
a year and a half ago?
- It's been about a year or
so. But I ain't counting.
- [Chris] Yeah.
- Hm.
- Yeah. Yeah. That's
my protege. Impressive.
- [Lena] Mm.
- I learned it all from you.
This your day, man.
I'm just glad you home.
- Yeah, me too.
Its nothin like being home
around family and friends.
Terry, uh I don't know
if my wife told you,
but I was in prison
about five years.
Hope that doesn't make
you feel uncomfortable.
- Nah,
actually my ex-boyfriend's
currently locked up
and you know, I used
to work for him,
but he's gonna be away for a
long time. So it's all good.
Yeah.
- So what he's in for?
- Trafficking, robberies,
he did whatever he needed to
do to put food on the table.
- Wait a minute, what?
- [Terry] What?
- Girl you never told me that.
- I mean, it's not something
I'm necessarily proud of,
but a girl's gotta eat
though. You feel me?
- Black, man. You always
had the baddest shorties.
Always. I know ain't
nothing changed.
I know how you get down.
- Oh yeah.
- And they gotta
get their wigs done.
My wife, she's the best
hairstylist in the city.
- [Black] The best, though?
- [Chris] The best.
- I'm gonna take
your word for it.
I'ma have to bring my shorty
down to the shop one day.
- Hey. And by the way, if Lena
ain't there, I'm second best.
So I got you. Remember
Terry now, all right?
- Yeah I like that.
So yeah, Chris um
wheres your little mans?
- Little? Ain't
nothing little by him.
He's smart, man.
It's crazy how smart
that little kid is.
Look man I know you hungry.
Let me fix you something to eat.
- I was waiting on it.
I was waiting on it.
- [Chris] Yo. Don't come

(Lena chuckles)
I wanna thank you for
dinner last night.
Oh man, that food was amazing.
- I try.
- Ah, you do more than try.
It was also good to
catch up with Black.
Man, we haven't
talked for years.
I mean, you know, he put
some money in my books
and sent the occasional
message to me
through some of the
guys in the yard.
But, I think last night we
got back to where we belong.
- Babe uh.
I just want you to know that
life got really
lonely without you.
I mean, it was
just me and Miles.
And I felt like my whole
world was caving in.
One moment I have everything.
And then the next moment it
just was gone in a flash.
I mean, I'm even back
to renting my shop now.
I don't know. I, I just, I
feel like somewhere in between,
somewhere in between,
I fell outta love.
- Baby, I don't want
you to ever think that
I don't understand what
you've been through.
I'm thankful for every
visit, for every call.
I missed you and Miles so much.
But now that I'm back,
I gotta figure out how to
get us back to where we were.
But I'm out the game.
I ain't doing that shit no more.
I'm not going back inside.
I'm not doing anything to
separate me from my family.
- Chris, I.
- Lena. Look, you
gotta trust me.
You gotta let me handle this.
Okay?
Look.
I got something
for you. (laughs)
- What is that?
- See.
- That's beautiful.
- When I was locked
up, I was in the Penn.
- Mhm.
- Every Sunday, this preacher
would come to the stop, right?
- Uh-huh.
- He would come.
He would talk to us.
He would always say, "Jesus,
keep me near the cross."
And I was like, "What
the hell does that mean?"
He said, "I can't teach
you how to find God.
But in time of trouble and hard
times, God would find you."
So when I was locked up
and I was going through it
and I was missing you and Miles.
That kept me sane.
It kept me alive.
You kept me alive.
I want you to have it.
- Thank you, babe.
(kissing sound)
- Love you.
- I love you more.
- I'm hungry.
- You know what I
was thinking too?
- What?
- Remember last
night at the dinner,
when Terry was talking all that
stuff about her ex-boyfriend
and the robberies?
I was like, what in the hell?
- Yo. That was crazy.
- In all my years.
Nah, seriously.
In all my years I've known
her, I've never heard that.
- Really?
- No I didn't, I.
Not a peep from her about
anything like that. Crazy, right?
- Man, you could know
somebody for a long time.
- A long time.
- Not really know them.
Life is crazy like that.
Cheers to us.

How can I help you?
- Yeah. Tell Lena
I'm here to see her.
- Just a moment.
There's somewhere
here to see you.
- Thank you.
I'll be right back, okay?
- What's good ma? How you doing?
- What are you doing here?
- Take it down a few notches.
Really I was just here.
Just pass by to see
how you was doing.
I wanted to give you a
little something. How Miles?
- Miles is fine. I'm fine.
And I guess it is
good that you pass by
cuz me and Miles
need some things
cuz Chris is still
getting on his feet.
- Right.
Well a real man
provides for his family
by any means necessary.
- Excuse you?
- Hey, I'm just saying.
- Okay. You know I'm dealing
with a lot right now, okay?
When Chris was away things
were a whole lot easier.
But now that he's
back, I don't know.
I just feel like the worst
person knowing that I was.
- Knowing what?
- Knowing that I'm in
love with the only man
my husband trusts.
And then you had the nerve
to come by the other night.
What the fuck was
that all about?
- Look, you know
what we gotta do.
Things keep moving like this.
You'll be able to get
out this small ass salon
into something more
fit for a queen.
Probably never have to work
again a day in your life.
- It is not that easy, okay?
And you can't keep
showing up to places
you know Chris is gonna be.
- Look, I'm gonna head out.
Try not to spend
it so fast as time.
Don't be scared. Take it.
- You always looking
out for me, huh?
I appreciate you.
- Right.
- Who's outside with you today?
- Oh, just a few of my boys.
You know I'm the biggest
on the South side.
You know I'm the
king. It's my palace.
You could be the queen.
You could run it with me.
Yeah.
But look tonight
everything's still in motion
and this drop I'm about to get,
change your life forever.
- Like I, I think that maybe.
- Stop stressing. Calm down.
Take your ass back to work.
(door closes)
- Hey baby.
- Baby, what you doing here?
- I got these for you.
- You got me flowers?
- Yeah. I wanna make you smile.
- Look at you.
- I miss you. (smooches)
thought about you all day.
- Thank you.
- Can I talk to
you for a minute?
- Sure.
- All right. Come on.
Well, I've been really thinking
about the conversation we had.
If I can't find a job
doing something else,
I'ma have to do what I gotta do.
- What? When did
you decide this?
- Today.
- Today?
- Baby. I can't
lose you and Miles.
And this is what it takes
to make you live the way
you wanna live, so be it.
I gotta take care of my family.
- Chris. I, I just.
- No. So listen baby.
Tonight I'm gonna
meet up with Black.
And I got some other
business to tend to,
but I want you to remember
I'm doing this for us.
- And you're meeting
up with Black?
- Yeah
Baby. Don't worry
about it. I got this.
- No. No and no.
I, I just don't have a
good feeling about this.
I don't, I don't have a
good feeling about this.

Don't worry about it.

Hello.
- [Detective Campbell]
Good morning, ma'am.
My name is detective Campbell.
I was wondering if you have
a moment for us to speak.
- Speak with you about what?
- We're currently investigating
a robbery that took place a
couple nights ago.
- Do I have something
to do with that?
- [Detective Campbell]
No, not exactly.
But you were seen with
someone who may be involved.
May I come in?
- Sure.
- You were seen at
the club, Flows.
And there was someone
sitting at the bar with you.
- Okay?
- His name is Quentin Rogers,
but you may know him
as the name Black.
What exactly were the
two of you discussing?
- That's your question?
What we were discussing?
- Mr. Rogers has a um,
history of finding the
most beautiful women
and using his charm against
their vulnerability.
It is not long before
he has these women
doing anything that he says.
Look. I'm just trying
to figure out if
maybe he mentioned anything
about something he's tied into.
Or maybe he tried to
coerce into anything.
- Cops. Everybody's
guilty, right? Hmm?
But if you must know, no, he
invited me out for drinks.
And what he was discussing is
taking me out on another date.
Yeah.
- Have you dealt with Mr. Rogers
in any other capacity?
- [Lena] No, I have not.
- Hi buddy. What's your name?
- Miles.
- I love that name.
What are you up to?
- Come here, baby. Come here.
I need you to go up to your
room and finish playing with
your toys, okay?
I'll be up there in
a second. Go ahead.
- I love kids.
- Yeah.
- You have a beautiful son.
- Thank you.
- Listen. If anything comes up,
would you just give me a call?
- You know what?
I'm fine. Actually.
I'm a big girl and
I can handle myself.
- I'm not saying that you can't
take care of yourself, Lena.
But I'm trying to warn you
that this guy is
really dangerous.
So be careful.

- I'm not making
excuses, first of all.
And I'm, I don't know.

- Well, it sure
hasn't stopped you
from bringing my grandson

And you need to make sure that
that baby is spending time
with you. He needs his mom.
- Oh so now you give
parenting advice?
- I beg your pardon?
- I'm just saying
I've watched you ma. You
tend to everybody else
but yourself.
- That's what a mother does.
- So the bruises go a

And I know that your father,
God knows he was not the best,
but I stand behind every
decision that I made back then.
And now.
- Yeah.
Did you ever once think what
you were teaching us though?
- What I was teaching you?
- Yes.
- If anything,
I taught you and your sisters
how to be strong and how to
fight for your family.
- No. No ma.

come back and ask for more?
- Don't even worry about.
You don't even gotta worry
about it. I got money.
- Oh man. It ain't
about the money.
It ain't about the money.
It's how you be moving
around here man.
- I understand.
- Listen, man.
I don't know.
But since I love
your little brother,
like he was a brother of me.
That's the only reason
I'm doing this for you.
- I respect that.
- And you got this
detective chick
running around here asking
questions about you.
- Nah. You don't even
gotta worry about that.
- Like don't don't be
bringing him around here
deuces up my shit.
- Nah. Nah.
- Alright.
Hey Matt.
Get Black whatever he need.
- Hey yo Chief, I know
you don't wanna hear it.
- Yo man.
- I highly appreciate this.
Now you going outta
your way for me.
Thank you for real.
Wouldn't be possible
without you, all right?
- Yeah all right.
Stupid. Dummy.
(door creaks open)
- [Lena] Terry, you got
some nerve bringing your ass
up in here.
- I've been calling and
texting you with no response.
- And you wasn't
going to get one.
I suggest you pack up
all your little shit
and take your little
trifling ass out of here.
- Really?
- How long you been
sleeping with Black?
- I'm not sleeping
with Black Lena.
- Bullshit!
- Lena, I work for Black.
Okay? I work for Black, Lena.
The other night when I
was over by his place,
I was just getting ready for
a high end client. That's it?
Nothing happened.
- Take that too.
- Lena, sit down.
It's time for you
to know the truth.
- No, I'm not sitting down.
What the fuck do
you have to say?
- All right.
Remember the other night when
you had us over for dinner
and I mentioned my
ex-boyfriend to you?
What I didn't tell you
is that Black and my ex,
they know each other.
They used to do
business together.
And I was part of
that merchandise.
Lena I've been prostituting
since I was 16.
- You've been doing what?
- Yeah.
And I can't tell you how
many men I've been with
or what they made me do.
- So is that why you
keep running outta here
all early every day?
- No, that's not all.
I was accepted into a nursing
school program a while back.
I'm two semesters
away from finishing.
- Why you never told
me this till now?
- I didn't tell you because
for the first time in my life
I can see the finish
line, you know?
I just didn't wanna
speak too soon.
Okay. I get it.
Lena, Black ain't a good person.
He uses every woman
to get what he wants
the same way he used
you to get rid of Chris.
A few years ago, Black's
little brother Twan was killed
doing a night drop for Heavy.
Black blames Heavy for getting
his little brother killed.
This ain't the life
for me no more.
I moved here from Mexico
to be here with abuelita.
She's dead.
There ain't nothing else
here for me no more.
So I'm transferring schools.
- Terry. Listen.
I'm sorry, okay?
I'm sorry I treated
you like that.
I'm I'm sorry I
wasn't here for you.
- I know your heart chica,
but take it from me.
Get out this life.
It ain't worth it.
Okay?
I gotta go.
- Terry.
You are always welcome here.
Always.
- Thank you.
(Machine whirring)
- Black!
- Just the person
I wanted to see.
What'd you find out?
- Man, I found out everything.
- Everything?
That's what I'm talking about?
Who the connect?
- Some white boy. He go
by the name Stevenson.
Say he outta Orange County.
- Stevenson?
- Yeah.
- Orange county?
I don't know. That don't
sound too familiar to me.
You got his info?
- Yeah.
- Let me check this out.
Hm. It look legit.
- Yeah.
- So how many dudes Heavy
got running with him?
- I mean he running with
three, so we should be good.
- Three?
- Yeah. I think we're good.
- That ain't too many.
All right.
So here's the next part of this
I need you to get 'em all here.
Cause at this point
they trust you.
- Get 'em here how?
- Figure it out!
Cause when you do, I'm gonna
lay 'em all out one by one.
- Wait, wait.
So you going to kill them?
- You asking a lot of questions
and I don't like that.
- Black. I just don't remember
that being part of the plan.
You got the connect.
Ain't that enough?
- It's never enough. RJ.
It's bigger than that.
You look nervous.
- I'm good.
- Got a reason to be nervous?
- I'm good man.
- Look RJ. RJ don't make
me shoot you in your face
and throw your ass in the
trunk of one of these cars.
Look you either with
me or you're in my way.
What it's gonna be?
- I'm with you
Black. I'm with you.
- You with me?
- Yeah, I got you.
- Don't be another
person in the way.
Ain't no bullets
in it. Look at you.
You a little sweaty
man. Fix your shirt.
Fix your chain. Oh you shining.
You getting too much money.
Hey RJ. You doing a good job.
I catch you later my man.
He gonna get his ass smoked.
Hear that OG?
But yeah, like I was saying.
(door creaks open)
- We're closed,
come back tomorrow.
- Lee Lee.
So this is famous
Lena's hair salon?
This is nice. This where
all the money coming in?
Oh man.
Yeah. I like this.
- What are you doing here?
- You know what I'm doing
here. How your mom's doing?
- No, I don't know
what you're doing here.
- Well, Chris came home.
He was supposed to
run all this for me.
Maybe I get a salon
too and get that money.
What you do with the money?
- What, what money?
Chris got all that money.
- That's a lie.
Word on the street is you
giving money out to Black.
You're funding his operation.
- There is no me and Black.
What are you talking about?
- You know the worst thing
I hate about a person?
Becoming a liar.
(cocks gun)
- Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
- Let me tell you something.
- Okay. Please don't hurt me.
- You got 24 hours
for a hundred grand.
If I don't get my money bitch,
you'll never see your son again.
(Lena crying)
You understand what
I'm saying to you?
- I got it. I will have
your money. I'll have it.
(door creaks open and closes)
(sobbing)
Oh my god.
- What's good homie?
- Shit, what you got
left on that thing, man?
- I got like an
(indistinct) left, really.
- Okay. Okay.
- I gotta (indistinct)
for the whole thing.
- Oh, so you need
another 18 for that 36?
- Yeah, soon as I get
straight I got you.
- Okay. Yo who that right there?
- All right man.
So what you got?
What you got on that thing, man?
I gotta go see Heavy yo.
- I got five right here.
- Oh five? Oh, lemme get that.
Oh let's see what's up with
this dude right here, man.
Watch out. Watch out. Let me
see what's up with this dude.
- What's good homie?
(gun fires)
(tires squeel off)
- What's going on mama?
- Hey dad.
- Hey little man.
You getting big.
And you shining. Okay.
I see your work.
- Go play Marcus.
- Okay.
- I'll talk to you in a few.
- Okay.
- That's my little
man's growing up fast.
I got something for you, mama.
- Now what is this?
- It's money. I give
you some every week.
- Yes. Yes you do.
And I never once questioned you.
But I should have asked
you a long time ago
where is this money coming from?
You look at me, Black.
The streets are talking
and I don't like what
I'm hearing about my son.
The murders. Is
that you doing that?
- Ma, I told you don't
be listening to that.
- Tell me the truth,
Quentin. Is it you?
- I told you.
How long Twan been gone Ma?
- Mh-mm.
- How long?
- Don't you do that.
Don't you put your
brother's name into this.
- My brother is the
reason I am the way I am.
When they took him, he took
a piece of me with him.
I don't give a
fuck how they feel.
- (slapping sound) Don't
you raise your voice at me.
- I'm sorry, mama.
- You're going about
this the wrong way.
Do you really think your brother
would want you doing this?
Do you?
I'm warning you Black.
The knife cuts both ways.
And if you don't stop, you're
going to get yourself hurt.
I've already lost one son.
And what about him?
He needs you to be his father.
Quentin, do the right thing.
- I had been calling
Black over and over
knowing I needed to get
this money to Heavy.
I must admit I was shocked
when he actually showed up.
I just don't know
what to say Black.
- Oh, you don't?
You don't gotta say much.
It's a hundred
grand in that bag.
It's enough for you to
pay Heavy back and more.
(unzips bag)
- What about you?
- What about me?
I got a big drop tonight.
It's too hot down here
for me to even stay.
Even if I wanted to.
So I'm gonna go grab my son
and I'm outta here
by tomorrow morning.
I'm heading Upstate.
- Your son? You got a son?
- Yeah, my son.
- Take care of yourself, Black.
- Definitely.
- They the new Bonnie
and Clyde, huh?
- Man it's only been 24 hours.
She out here moving with this.
- I'm telling you,
she's in on it.
I'ma handle this.
- Nah, I got this one.
(car pulls up)
(somber music plays)
(police sirens and
indistinct radio chatter)
- Oh, I was just texting you.
- Oh yeah? It's all there?
- I got your money.
- Yeah just the way I like it.
- Yeah. It's all there.
- Yeah. Yeah.
That's what I'm talking about.
You know it was never just
about the money, right?
You know money's important,
but you know the one thing I
never liked that you be doing?
- Yeah?
- Showin no damn respect.
(gun fires and Lena screams)
- In the end we
both paid a price.
(indistinct radio chatter)
Black was sentenced to
10 years for trafficking.
But me?
I paid the ultimate price.
(car horns honking)
- Hey, welcome back.
- Hey.
- Are you dining
alone again tonight?
- Nope. Not tonight.
- Okay. Look at you. I'll be
back in a few minutes then.
- All right. Thank you.
It took you long enough.
- We did it.
- (laughing) I know.
- Oh man. You're so amazing.
