The coldest female Alamo ever knew was his mama.
Now, look, the man coming, he ain't like your daddy.
He a good man.
He a God -fearing man.
And I want him to take care of us.
Hot meals, clothes, shoes that fit.
You know what that sound like?
He ain't the prettiest man.
But don't you say nothing about that, you hear?
You shake his hand and you look him in the eyes.
Because he could love me.
But it don't mean nothing if he don't love you too.
Because you're the most important thing in the world to me.
I sold him on this whole idea.
I made some big promises.
It's my friend I was telling you about.
I'm Preston.
Nice to finally meet you.
Alamo. Nice to meet you, too.
Nice firm handshake you got there.
Thanks.
He seemed nice.
But his scars scared Alamo.
That don't get me in no trouble.
He may have been ugly on the outside, but on the inside, he was a good man.
Heavenly Father, thank you for the food we are about to receive.
Bless the hand that prepared it.
And may it strengthen us so we can continue to do your work.
In Jesus' name, amen.
Amen.
And he loved his mama.
You're so beautiful.
Thank God for bringing Preston into their lives.
I want you to look to God and I want you to say, Lord.
Lord. Come on, look up and say, Lord.
Lord. You got my attention.
You got my attention. Hey, what's going on, brother?
Solid, brother.
How nice of you.
Strawberry champagne.
Let me get two of those strawberries for you.
When you getting that set on there?
Soon.
You said soon a year ago.
Yeah, you know how I be. They dotting their I's, costing their T's.
After what they done to your face, they had to make you rich as cream.
Everyone said Preston used to be handsome.
Alamo didn't know him back then.
He worked at a chemical factory until a vat blew up in his face.
You know, when I get this money, I'm going to send you to one of those white
schools.
You might have to wear a uniform.
How did you learn to speak French?
Didn't tell your mama I bought you no ice cream, right?
One day, the president came home with some news.
Preston knew that he was lucky to have Alamo's mama.
So he treated her like a princess.
There's barely a day that went by where he didn't come home with a gift.
No, I do.
Covered with a broken bedroom.
Ain't this just the most beautiful thing you ever seen, Alamo?
Yeah.
Your mom enrolled you at school today? Mm -hmm. Ain't that right?
Mm -hmm.
Alamo, they excited to meet you.
They mention a uniform?
No.
But I'll ask.
They don't start till September.
Mo.
Homework. Not cowboy.
Hey.
Yeah.
Mm -hmm.
Who knows?
You'll see. Red box.
Metal drawer.
To this day, that was the best summer of Alamo's life.
I even went to the beach on vacation for Labor Day.
Tell you a secret?
Yes, sir.
They were returning home to a new life.
They had been robbed of everything they were worth.
His mama wanted to take him and leave.
Okay, Alamo, time to go.
Baby, please just don't, don't do this.
I promise, baby.
There's nothing here to say.
This is some bad shit, and I can't take it.
Alamo didn't understand why they couldn't just go back to the way things
Shit.
Why they had to help him go to a whole new city. Okay.
The best choice of you.
And let me tell you, that man was bad luck.
Hey babe.
Check out the new digs baby.
Come in Alamo.
And close the door.
It's been a day.
You gonna make me a drink babe?
Beautiful.
Just like you should.
Now, which one of them jokers you hired broke my cat?
The cat looked fond of me.
Well,
I can't tell you who broke it, but I can dance you a fix.
I'm curious.
That's called.
And you said you're going to put yourself up on the wall.
Alamo realized it was all an act.
None of it was real.
Go... Go down the hall.
Which room is it?
It's all the way in the back.
I'll be down there later, hon. It's the one at the end.
Don't look at me like that, Alamo.
You weren't the one that had to kiss his ugly face.
It was just one long con.
And the real Mark wasn't even Preston.
It was Alamo.
He believed.
That night he made a promise to himself.
For as long as he lived, never again would a bitch outsmart him.
What are you doing?
Stepping up to the plate.
It's the great Bambino. Come on, man. Don't do that.
What are you doing?
No, no, no, no, no, no. Hey, come on. Come on. Don't do that.
Jack Dunn's baby.
I can't. I can't. No, no, no.
Hey, hey, hey, hey. No, no, no. No, no, no. Hey, hey, hey. No, no. I can help
you. The girl. No, no, no. The girl. The girl. The girl. The getaway driver. I
know her. I know her. Her name is. Her name is Faith.
Faith. No, no, no.
Apparently, Faye sampled the drugs they stole from the silver slipper.
And instead of getting high... I've been on the toilet for two hours. I can't
stop shitting.
Oh, man, that sucks. I hate when I have diarrhea.
Yeah. Um, listen, Faye, I kind of need you to do me a little favor.
Um, can you, uh, can you just find Wade Key?
The one in the safe and just, like, take a picture of it next to a quarter.
Why a quarter?
Just for scale.
It sounds complicated.
It's not really that complicated. It's pretty easy.
And if you do this for me, I could let you keep some money.
Like, rob them?
I'm not going to rob them.
The only problem was...
They had fallen madly in love. You are the most beautiful girl I've ever laid
eyes on.
Look, um... I'm gonna talk to Lauren.
Because you shouldn't be a mule, man.
Okay?
Mm -hmm.
Only thing you ought to be carrying in your belly is some fair -skinned babies.
It's my dream.
And, you know, one thing led to another, and he gave me a tattoo.
Is it a butterfly?
Sexier.
Wait, so are you a Nazi now?
Not really.
So sort of. Just forget I told you.
Okay.
Look, I just need you to get the picture, okay?
Can you do that?
The plan was simple.
Get a picture of the key to Wayne's safe and have Alamo's guy 3D print a
duplicate. I just can't. Wayne is the love of my life.
Alright, well, I'm gonna be fucking killed.
And, uh, all you need to do is take a picture. So, I hope you're happy about
that. Why don't you just lie to them and say I'll help you?
Uh, you know who would fucking help me right now is Fez.
Fez would help me, but you know where he is? He's in fucking jail. Why?
Because of your last fucking junkie boyfriend!
Faye, he helped you and I need you to help me. Can you do that?
Please.
He was a true friend, alright? He had your back, he had my back, and I need
to have my back right now, man.
Can you do that? Can you help me right now?
Please?
Faith?
You promise I can keep the money?
Okay, I have to go.
Hey, puppy.
Who you talking to?
A friend.
Who's your friend?
The one in prison.
Your ex -boyfriend?
Just a friend.
Uh -huh.
You were doing coke?
I'm trying to put a fucking baby in you, you're doing coke? This isn't actually
coke. I got two eyeballs.
That's fucking coke. You're not listening to me. It's not actually...
try to fucking wiggle out of this.
Last thing I need you to be giving birth so creepy crawly Okay
Baby
you say you're gonna take care of yourself. I come in
here. What do I find cocaine?
Sorry
You been taking your prenatal?
Every day.
But soon there ain't gonna be no drugs.
Okay? It's just gonna be money.
Stacks of it.
Baby.
Bougie.
Hey.
You don't like money?
I like money.
Yeah, you like money?
You like it?
I designed her clothes?
Yeah.
Manny Pettys.
Yeah.
Look, whatever my baby needs, she gets, okay?
You like that?
You like the sound of that? I love it. Yeah?
Well, good, because it's coming, okay?
Only one don't see it coming is that fucking silverback gorilla, Alamo Brown.
Oh,
shit.
Alamo agreed to meet Lori at his house.
Show time.
Elmo Brown, thanks for having us.
I really love your house.
I hate that things have gotten so contentious between us.
Well, if you'd apologize,
we wouldn't be here.
I like it here.
Yeah, I think we're in a pretty good position.
So what you want?
For my big black ass to get down on his hands and knees and beg for mercy?
Please, Master Laurie, spare me. I don't know no better.
I'd fucking love to see that.
Oh, I bet you would, cracker.
I've got something better in mind.
You own a company called Gold Rush Medical Services?
I own me a lot of businesses.
Why the fuck you asking?
You mind explaining this one in particular?
I take me some girls down to Mexico for plastic surgery, dental work,
that sort of shit.
Why?
You're the mug in need of a makeover?
You use ambulances?
Something like that.
You get them medical passes, too?
The ones that let you sail across the border?
I see where this is going.
So if you were to go down to bolt some boobs onto one of your whores, it
wouldn't be that difficult to bring something back?
You talking fentanyl?
Something like that.
There's something I don't understand about your business.
Why y 'all dumb motherfuckers want to kill the customer?
The real question is why does the customer want to buy something that can
them? It's supply and demand.
Don't blame me.
Anybody say no?
We'll take everything we stole, wrap it up in a big box with a beautiful bow,
and we'll mail it to the FBI.
Well, I guess that's a yes, then.
Atta boy.
Hey, I'll watch your motherfucking mouth play, boy.
If I do this, I'll get my stuff back, right?
Yes. Yeah.
Now do I know that your pasty ass ain't gonna string me along.
Don't you read the news?
Bitch, I don't give a fuck about the news.
They're shutting the border down.
Put hard -working Americans like us out of business.
It's one and done, and we all live happily ever after.
How much am I carrying?
Eighty kilos.
God damn.
Mama's got a brand new mule.
You know, I think I would like Mitch and Rue to drive down.
Rue ain't going nowhere.
She's good at this.
I got people I trust more.
You don't trust Rue?
You pick your people, and I pick mine.
Deal.
As much as try to fuck me in the slightest, even put a pinky up my ass, I
come down on you like Hiroshima Nakazaki, not a motherfucker left
Yeah?
Now get your pasty ass out of my fucking house.
If everything goes according to plan, these people will spend the rest of
lives behind bars.
Okay, so what about me? You did your job, you kept your word.
The U .S. Attorney will look at your case favorably.
So that's it?
For the time being.
Okay. You did good, kid.
Never thought I'd hear that.
We're almost there.
Stay sharp.
Thank you, God.
I tried to warn Maddie about Alamo.
I'm a big girl, Rue. I'm a little scared of him.
Hey, well, if he's such a monster, why do you work for him?
Our goal was to milk these girls for every penny.
And get Alamo to back her business.
One where she didn't have to answer to anyone.
Yeah.
Maddie, are you sure this thing's safe?
Yeah, kind of.
Like, it hurts.
Turn around.
Let me feel a little bit of that.
And this last week.
I'd laid the groundwork.
The club is so photogenic.
You gotta see these. I designed it myself.
Right down to the last piece of fabric.
You got good taste.
Tell me something I don't know.
Hey, I'm Maddie.
I know.
Take no offense.
This nigga got no social skills.
Hey, this is a good one right there. That's money. Yeah, I really like this
Hey, I was thinking, it would be good if you gave the girls some time off so I
could take them out, introduce them to people, start building their profiles.
What are you talking about, time off?
Well, they work like six days a week. Eh?
That's my money.
It would just be nice to have some time with them so I can... Look here, when we
made this agreement, you didn't say nothing about taking my business.
If you did, we wouldn't have this agreement.
I'm not trying to take your girls.
Bishop, do I look like a wet pussy?
No. Why do I feel like everybody's trying to fuck me?
How one feels is irrelevant.
Irrelevant? Motherfucker, you got eyes and ears, don't you?
Yes, I do. Then what they seen and heard?
There are people trying to fuck you.
I don't know if Maddie Perez is one of them.
Against all odds, life was looking okay.
Maybe every mistake I've made led me to the right place after all.
You know what I think my problem is?
There's only one?
I have no responsibilities to anyone except myself.
I think that's why I have so much anxiety and depression.
If I had kids, I think it'd be different.
You want to have kids?
Yeah.
I want to start a life.
Get married, have a family.
I don't know if you're ready for kids, Rue.
Nobody's ready for kids, right? But they just do it.
And your problems aren't about yourself anymore.
How long have you been sober this time?
A bit.
I mean, like a while.
I'm not really counting the days this time.
I just want good old -fashioned American problems.
What you're talking about is fantasy.
You know, what you're doing is kind of a fantasy.
You're in a relationship with a married guy who's never going to be there.
As opposed to you. I mean, I want to wake up to someone I love.
Someone who depends on me. Someone who expects me to be the best version of
myself.
I think that's the solution.
Because I have to live for something greater than myself.
Do you think we're going to be that?
Why not?
How romantic.
I want to be with you.
I don't get it.
Well, the last time we were together, I just thought that it was... A mistake.
A mistake?
You show up, you disappear.
You make plans, you don't follow through, and now you're here, like,
your love.
Where's our relationship?
In your head?
I'm sorry, did we not just have an amazing time together?
Am I crazy?
I just, I'm sorry, I thought it was a big fucking mistake.
It almost cost me my relationship.
This place, literally everything I'm working for. So this is your future now?
Just, like, be hidden in this?
Place here?
His wife knows about me. What does that mean, Jules?
He's not going to leave his wife for you, Jules. Come on.
You're just a little toy that he keeps locked in a little room. Don't go
anywhere. Don't see anyone. Just stay there and paint until I come back to
you.
Alice is going to be here in 45 minutes, so I suggest you get the fuck out of my
painting.
So you walk in, get Mark's attention, say the lines, and that's the scene.
Pictures up.
Pictures up. Pictures up.
It's your first time on camera?
Um, kind of.
Just take a deep breath. You're going to be great.
Kathy only had a few lines.
Roll sound.
Down speeds.
But she studied them religiously. Mark.
And action.
She's got an interesting figure.
Yeah, she's very womanly.
Hi.
Are you hiring?
Are you good?
Well, I worked at Tableau for over a year. I see.
So Jagger was your boss.
What are you implying?
Jagger and I go way back.
Let's just say you're not the first girl to come running once the honeymoon's
over.
The honeymoon?
Let's just say you're not the first girl to come running once the honeymoon is
over.
I'm just trying to survive.
What? She's not the line.
So what's she talking about? I think you would know them after five years, but
you don't.
Did you give her the wrong script?
I don't know what's happening. Well, you must have, because I didn't write those
lines. What's she talking about?
Spencer, that line's not in the script.
Lied and lied and lied.
I did everything for him. What do I get in return?
A bloody nose on my wedding night.
Did Jagger hit you?
What's he doing? I don't know.
He's rolling with it, though. Should we just cut?
You know, I find it rather compelling. Let's just let it roll.
Maybe I deserved it.
Hey, no woman deserves to get hit. No, but I do. I stole him from my best
friend. I mean... I think this is the price I pay.
It's very compelling, but how does this fit into the script?
I don't know. It feels fresh, and it's given me the feels.
I think she's got something. Well, she might, but she seems a little unhinged.
Excuse me!
You gonna introduce me to your little friend?
Oceana.
This isn't what it looks like.
I have all the dirt to shut jogger bars down.
And cut!
What's that? What are you doing?
It's okay.
I want to see that girl.
How long have you been acting?
Um, basically my whole life.
Have you?
Mm -hmm.
Yes, Lexi, I have.
It's been my dream to do it full -time, though, especially on a show like LA
Nights. Well, I hope you learned from this experience and you continue to
So what do you do for a living?
I create content.
For OnlyFans.
OnlyFans? That site?
Mm -hmm.
So you posed nude? Oh, no, not fully nude. You posed fully nude.
I mean, it is so tasteful, so it doesn't even look like it's nude.
What about, like, your special request?
Oh. That is Duff and J -O -I's.
J -O -I's? What's that?
It's just when guys pay me extra money to kind of...
Jerkoff instructions.
What? That's what it stands for. That's insane. So you're a sex worker?
No, I am not.
I am not a sex worker.
They need instructions?
I'm a performer that uses my body to tell stories.
So how does that affect you emotionally?
The hardest part is how people treat me.
Oh. Even my own family.
But it's also very empowering.
Like a new sort of feminism.
Exactly. That's debatable.
I see. So, as I understand it, there's a lot of young women who do this today.
Oh, my God. There's a whole wave of girls like me. Yeah, which is a problem.
This is why you brought her here, to get her out of that world and into a better
one. Mm -hmm.
Hmm. That's a very interesting character arc. Jane Fonda. Clute. Young hustler,
has a secret other life. Half of the sister.
Good girl, bad girl.
Brilliant! Well, unfortunately, a job applicant only has one scene.
Does she?
Yeah, and then we never see her again.
Maybe we do.
Oh, my God.
Are you saying you're going to write me into the show?
It depends.
You ready to leave that world behind?
Not just for us, but for your sister?
The answer you're searching for?
Yes, ma 'am, thank you.
Look at us, bringing families together.
I can't believe.
I'm gonna be a main character.
Okay, she didn't specify main or supporting. It's just a storyline. I
is my dream.
This is what I've always dreamed of. I'm gonna be on TV. People are gonna know
my name. You gotta tone it down.
Thank you, God!
Not if you don't delete your OnlyFans.
Nate, answer the fucking phone!
I need your advice!
Where the fu -
When I recommended her to casting, I just knew you guys would fall in love
her. I like the storyline.
I like how risque it is.
Totally.
You seem to have a pretty good inside track on it.
Why don't you take a stab at it?
What do you mean?
Write it.
Why don't you write it?
Me?
Don't look so surprised.
Act like you deserve it.
The DEA told me to go about business as usual.
So I brought the photos of Akita Alexander.
Ah, this is going to take me a minute.
You want to come back in an hour?
Uh, okay.
Yo, what's up?
Mom?
Sorry, I thought you were someone else.
It's good to hear your voice, too.
Yeah, I'm good.
I mean, I've been better, but yeah, I'm good.
I'm actually in a church.
It's not a meeting.
I just kind of decided to walk in.
I mean, I believe in God.
I guess I just figured if he exists,
then so does redemption.
If there's redemption and there's salvation.
And I... kind of need that.
I just... I don't really want to be stuck
with all the mistakes I've made.
It's hard to change.
All I can think about is all the bad things you've done.
I just want to be free to start over.
I just want to start over.
I don't want to be wicked.
I miss you.
I miss you a lot. I miss being home.
Yeah, I'm going to come by soon.
I love you so much, and I'm sorry if I made it harder.
I didn't really realize how tough it is to be out here by yourself.
I know I'm not allowed.
Yeah, I know that.
But yeah, I'll, um... But I'm coming home soon.
I love you all.
Why don't you just kill her character?
Because I'm supposed to build her up.
Okay.
So build her up to kill her.
If someone doesn't die periodically, people get bored.
Otherwise, it's just, you know, talking and talking.
How should I kill her?
There's so many ways.
Hello?
I got a package for Cassie Jacobs.
You're just leaving at the door.
I need a signature.
You want to fuck with my life?
You want to fuck with me?
You want to fuck with me? Well, fuck you, faggot, cocksucker!
You fucking fucks!
You want to ruin my life?
You want to ruin my fucking life?
I'll ruin your fucking life, you fucking faggot!
No! No!
Come here.
No! No!
Fuck! Fuck!
more than I do.
It's your plan.
Don't you want to see it through?
You want me to go to Lori's?
I want you to do whatever the fuck it takes.
It's suppertime.
You know the story behind this snake?
It used to belong to Sweet Dancer.
She had a whole freak act with it.
At night, she'd take it home, let it curl up in bed with her and fall asleep.
She loved this snake.
But one day, it just stopped eating.
She switched from frozen rats to live ones.
It'd choke them out, but still wouldn't eat.
Finally, she took it to the vet.
Said, gotta be sick or something.
Vet shakes his head and says, miss.
This is a perfectly healthy python.
Sweet shook her head.
There's got to be something wrong.
That's when the vet looked her dead in her eye and said, the reason it wraps
itself around you at night is because it's sizing you up.
And the reason it ain't eating is because it's preparing for a much larger
Sweet came back to work.
Told Alamo that story.
And I never heard him laugh harder.
He gave her ten bands for a snake she'd have given him for free.
Why?
Because it's a reminder.
You never really know a motherfucker's true intentions.
Totally.
You're gonna get inside that safe?
Yeah.
Good.
It'd be real awkward if I lied to your mother.
My mother?
Leslie.
Nice lady.
Told her how well you're doing.
Lord saw that the wickedness of man, man thought, was great in the earth, that
every intent of the thought was thought, his belief was only evil.
