- [Woman] I see.
- [Man] This isn't--
- [Woman] Everything changed.
You didn't want to do the fun things
that we used to do together. - No, no, no.
- [Woman] You pushed me away.
- I didn't.
- Yes, you did.
- Enough.
- This is wrong and you know it.
- McPhereson, you--
- Now onto our next topic.
There's an epidemic sweeping the streets of Atlanta.
You may have heard of some of the crisis
that's going on with the opioid addictions
and some of the K2 synthetic drugs
that have hit the streets.
Here we have with us Donovan and Jennifer Mathison
who's gonna share their story about their brother Jason
and some of his effects.
Thank you so much for being with us today,
and I thank you for sharing your story.
- Thank you for having us.
- [Daphne] Absolutely.
- Our brother, he was a smart guy, and I looked up to him,
but he suffered from depression and anxiety.
I'm sorry.
- They prescribed him medicinal marijuana,
and for a time it helped.
And then he just developed this tolerance for it.
- So after the tolerance,
what were some of the effects after that?
- He started doin' these other drugs,
and one day he just,
we just noticed him changing.
- These drugs, they destroyed our family,
and our brother, what was left of him.
We don't know if he's gonna ever be the same.
- So thank you guys for tuning in and watching.
We're gonna give you as much information
as we can as we're updated.
- Thank you, Daphne.
What we've just witnessed is a unique problem
sweeping the city.
With the war on opioids, and now this
potential major crisis, we wonder what the effects--
- Hey, Jake, one of your regulars is at the bar.
- Now in other news, there have been some
dramatic weather changes - Dang, that's some messed up
- in the past few weeks. - stuff.
- Yeah.
- Man, Mike, looks like you've had a hell of a week.
What can I get for you today, the usual?
- Yeah. - All right.
- Well, well, well.
If it ain't my boy, Mike.
- Tony, Tony, Tony, what's good?
- What's up with you?
I didn't expect to see you here.
But now I see why.
Goodness gracious.
- Hey.
- Oh, nah, man.
I just got off early and decided to stop by.
- I hear that, plus you know
Miss Janet don't play that.
- Right.
Speaking of women, what's up with yours?
- What's up with mine?
No, what's up with yours?
Let's talk about how she be doing
all this drinking and then don't remember shit.
- Hey, man.
What can I get for you?
- Hey, what's going on, man?
Let me get a margarita.
- All right.
- Well, you can thank Trina for that.
- Trina?
- Hell, yeah, Trina.
She going out all the time, man, turning up.
You really need to talk to her about it.
It's starting to become a problem.
- Well, what do I have to do with them partying?
- Trina's your woman.
You could talk to her about it.
- Hey, man.
At least she can control it.
Hey, appreciate it.
- What up, man?
- My drink of choice, bro.
Don't judge me.
- I'm just talking to you man to man.
A lot's been going on since you been away.
Trina and Janet are going out partying all night
and just drinking and turning up.
- I don't see how that's possible.
Mine be working.
- You serious, man?
Come on, man, that's,
that's a hard blow, man.
[Tony chuckles] [phone rings]
- Look, man, I'm just messing with you, bro.
I'll talk to her, you know,
but you our Trina, she's got a mind of her own.
- Right, mine, too.
Yo.
Oh, what's up?
Okay, you there?
All right, bit.
- What was that Greg?
- Yeah.
You know, I gotta go by the office
and you got a project you're working on.
- Look, man.
I don't even know if I like seeing him at the office.
I can't believe you talked me
into giving him that security gig.
- Come on, man, that's my boy.
- Hold on.
Aw, shit.
- Trina?
- Hell, yeah.
[Mike chuckles]
- Man.
I gotta go, bro.
Shit.
- Okay.
- I'm gonna get at you, though.
- All right, man.
- Hey, man.
You ready for the check?
- No, he got it.
You got it.
[Tony laughs]
- Let's trade this in for a real drink.
- Yeah, sure.
I'll get you another double.
- All right.
[gentle, rhythmic music]
[paper crumpling]
- What up, homie?
- Not much, man, you know, I just
been out, making a few rounds last night.
- Okay, what does Tonya think about that?
- What you mean, what Tonya think about that?
All right, I'm the man around here.
I do as I please, you know what I'm saying?
- I hear you.
- Hey, Mr. Stewart.
After Mr. Roberts left, we received the shipments in.
Oh, hey, Gregory.
I didn't realize you were working this shift.
- [Mike] What about those shipments?
- I guess we received them,
and there were two packages of the product.
So where would you like them?
- Go ahead and put them in his office,
and we'll take care of them as usual.
- Will do.
- [Mike] All right, thank you.
- Yep.
- You know, maybe she can assist me on a few things.
- I'm sure Trina would like that.
She stayed thinking those two are cheating.
- Hm, no.
- Ew, what is that smell?
- I'm trying some new Thai food options for Michael.
He got this thing going--
- Stop, stop, just stop talking, please.
Now what are you doing home this early, anyway?
- Boss gave me the day off.
Told me to cool down.
He's still tripping about those drugs
that somehow hit the streets.
- Hm, somehow, huh?
Anyways, I'm headed out with Janet later.
- Uh-huh.
Mark right there.
- [Jacky] So this is a psychological thriller.
Tell us more.
How do you describe that?
- Well, in the context of the story,
we see a woman who's willing to compromise.
What is the right [doorbell rings]
thing to do in order to protect the man she loves?
- Mm-mm, now, does she regret anything in the end?
- Hm, it's not necessarily regret.
I would say she has a
broken mentality - Janet.
- [Alicia] Regarding right and wrong.
- Janet, get up.
- Because love has blinded her
and for better or worse.
- Such a compelling story, and I tell you,
we've learned a lot here today,
and how love can make you do crazy things for your man.
- Exactly, and it's powerful.
You'll do anything for him,
and I mean anything.
- Well, that's what happens when a woman loves a man.
- Janet.
What did we talk about last week?
I told you, you drinking too much.
You're doing too much.
- Maybe if you were home more,
not at your office all the time, I wouldn't be.
- Maybe if you had a damn job,
I wouldn't have to work as hard as I am.
Somebody got to pay for all this.
- You seem to be forgetting that I'm the one
who helped you pay for this shit
with the damn job I had.
Keep it real, Michael.
You know what?
Just leave me alone.
I'm tired.
- Babe, listen.
All I'm saying, you just need to,
you just need to change your ways.
That's all I'm saying.
- Yeah?
Whatever.
- Okay, listen.
Now let's just go to bed.
- Don't touch me.
- What's your problem?
- You're my problem.
- And what's that supposed to mean?
- You should know.
[dramatic music]
Just leave me alone, okay?
[phone beeps]
[she groans]
What is all that beeping?
- It's Greg.
I got a track on.
That's my homeboy.
You know, but you never can be too careful nowadays.
[phone beeps]
- Was that a tracking beep too?
- Nah, it's the office.
Janet [sighs].
[phone beeps]
[Mike sighs]
- [Janet] Was that work, too?
[Mike sighs]
[car engines roar]
- [Man] Jay, where's my fries?
- Hey, I'll bring it for you, okay?
Anything else for you?
- [Trina] He's so rude.
I would never be that rude,
you know that, right?
- Sorry for the wait, ladies.
- Oh, so nice of you to join us.
So we gonna get some free appetizers or something?
- Sorry, but staff's a little thin,
so I'm trying to do a million things at once.
So what can I get for you?
- Free appetizers.
- Trina, stop. - What?
- I'll have a Knight burger and a salad.
- Okay.
And to drink?
- A Sprite.
- Okay.
And for you?
- I'm gonna have the pulled chicken dinner,
also with a Sprite.
- [Jay] All right.
- Mm-hmm.
- [Jay] Great, and for you?
- I'm gonna do the Wall Street wings.
[she clears her throat]
- [Jay] And to drink?
- Another gin and tonic.
- Okay.
- [Woman] Damn, girl.
- And how 'bout you, ma'am.
What can I get for you?
- I'll have the St. Louis pork ribs,
and an orange Fanta.
- Sorry, but we're actually out of Fanta.
- What do you have?
- Water and Sprite.
- Just give me the Sprite.
- All right, gladly.
I'll have that out for you shortly.
Again, I'm sorry for the wait.
- [Janet] Thank you.
- Now I know something's really wrong with him, right?
[they chuckle]
Anyway, girl, what were you saying?
- So on my way over here,
Michael's phone was going off nonstop.
Saying that it was just work.
- See, girl, I knew it.
I knew it was something.
- Who do you think it was?
- I'm sure it was just business.
You know Michael loves you way too much
to mess up your relationship.
- Oh, girl, whatever.
He's still a man.
- Well, if he is messing around, he's gonna be a dead man.
[they laugh]
- [Trina] That's what I'm talking about.
- Oh, there she goes again, trying to instigate.
- Uh-uh, but it will be fine.
What's going on with you and your man, Trina?
- You know, we're good, we're good.
- So now you want to get all quiet
since she said your man?
- So how's Keon?
[they exclaim and chuckle]
Yeah, that's what I thought.
- No, seriously, Trina,
what is going on with you and Tony?
- I'm, you know, we're fine.
We're good.
He gets on my nerves, but that's just what men do.
You know, but he spends so much time with that hoe?
I forget he even exists.
- Here we go again.
- Well, he does exist, and stop calling
that girl out of her name.
You have no proof that she's doing anything
you're thinking about.
- She's right. - Yeah.
- Don't forget to tell him to come by the cookout tomorrow.
- Okay.
- Yeah, I can't wait for that.
- Yeah, it's gonna be fun.
It's been so long since we got together like this.
- [Tonya] It's been long.
- Well, I hate that I'm gonna miss it
because I have a hair appointment
that I'm flying out for.
- Okay, I see you girl, doing big things, that's right.
- She's going to her mom's place.
It happens this time every year.
Oh.
- Joykill.
- Sometimes.
[straw sucks drink]
- Janet, girl, really?
Stop drinking so much.
We haven't even eaten yet.
- Trina, I'll be fine.
- All right, you're gonna get a hangover.
- Put the drink down.
[gentle music]
- I have a migraine.
Do we have to go to the cookout?
I'm sure Greg and Tonya won't mind us backing out.
- What?
I would mind.
Besides, nobody told you to go out drinking last night.
- Michael, please don't start with me.
Not right now.
- Babe, I just, you're drinking a lot,
and I know what drinking does to you,
and you're starting to make this a lifestyle.
- Look, Michael, I'm a grown-ass woman,
and you knew I liked to party when you met me.
- All right, look.
You going to have to decide.
It's either gonna be me or all this drinking and party,
but we going to that cookout.
So take you an aspirin and get dressed.
- Fine, I'll go to the cookout.
After I take a nap, you happy?
- Yeah, you better do what I say.
[phone rings]
Hey, Greg, yeah.
Yeah, I can do that.
All right, um.
Yeah, give me a minute.
All right, see you there.
- All right, let's go.
- Michael, I said I needed a nap before we go.
Dang.
- Well, Greg called me.
He asked me to pick up a few things from the store,
so get dressed.
- You're messing up my sleep over some damn food?
Really, Michael?
- Nobody told you to go out drinking last night.
Get dressed.
- [Janet] I'm tired.
- I don't care.
[wind whistles]
- You ready for this cookout?
- Yes.
But I'm just nervous I might've forgot some things.
- Okay, what'd I tell you about getting
so worked up on things, huh?
- I know, but I just want everything to be perfect.
- It will be, okay?
And besides, I picked up a few things
after I made a few rounds,
and I told Mike to, you know, bring some stuff
in case I miss anything.
- What rounds?
- Why you always question me?
- Why you get so upset when I ask you a question?
Why can't I ask you what you do?
- I get mad because you shouldn't be asking me questions.
- All right, Gregory.
Don't get yourself all worked up.
[ominous music]
- I'm not, all right?
Oh, and Keon, he was,
he was telling me that one of his friends was in town,
so I told him to bring him on by.
- That's fine.
- All right.
I'm gonna go check on Tony,
see if he needs help with anything, all right?
- Yep, I'll be down shortly.
- Okay.
[ominous music]
[doorbell rings]
- Hi, you two.
- Hey, girl.
You look good. - Hey, thank you.
- [Tonya] How are you?
- [Janet] Great and you.
- I guess I don't look too snazzy.
[they laugh]
- You look nice, too, Mike.
- [Mike] That's all right.
- Hey.
- Where's Greg?
- He's out back setting things up.
- All right.
- You're not on the grill?
- No, girl, you know that's more Gregory's thing,
plus he didn't feel like doing it,
so he hired Tony's catering company.
- Oh, okay.
Well, it was nice of you all to invite us.
- Of course, you hungry?
- No, not really, I'm sleepy.
- Let me guess.
- Please don't.
Mike was already giving me a hard time.
- Well, you need to listen to him for once.
Why you partying so much anyway?
- You know I like to have fun.
- Yeah, this may be too much fun.
Look, you can go upstairs and lay down.
I'll come get you when everybody comes.
- Thanks, girl.
- I hate to say this, man, but
I ain't gonna have money yet.
- Greg, man, you falling behind, man.
Look, corporate's tightening up, right.
Plus, Tony, I think he can only get us one more pack.
- Listen, I know I said I was supposed to have it for you,
all right, but you gotta give me a little bit more time.
Listen, my buyer say he got a few people interested,
but I need to meet up with him later.
- Look, man, we don't have no more time, man.
I need that ASAP.
All my money's going into this loan.
- Okay.
- Plus Janet, I think she's starting to put
two and two together.
- Michael, you know me, all right.
We go way back.
I'm gonna get that for you.
Hey, listen, I appreciate you looking out for me
when I got out.
All right, don't even worry about Janet.
She ain't even sober half the time anyway.
- I know, but the times she is sober,
she's starting to figure it out.
Tonya know?
- Hell, no, and I ain't tell her nothing either.
Oh shit.
- What's up?
- I forgot, man.
I'm gonna need you to make a run with me tomorrow.
- Man, look.
All I do is the numbers, that's it.
- I'm serious.
All right, my buyer wants to know who I'm working with
before he make any kind of move?
- You two need anything?
- Nah, we good, but go ahead, sit down.
Get up off your feet.
- Where's Janet?
- Upstairs to take a nap.
She said she had a headache.
- Figures.
- What's up, man?
[he sighs]
- Man, it's Janet, man.
She's partying all the time.
Like I'm doing everything I can to keep us together, right?
And she just, look.
I know neither one of us are perfect,
but I love her.
And I want to spend the rest of my life with her.
- It's gonna be all right, man.
Hey, but I bet Tonya wouldn't go out like that
and party so much, huh?
- Greg, stop.
Don't go there.
Those days are long gone.
But Michael, look.
I'll talk to her, okay.
Maybe if you didn't work so much,
she'd be home more.
But you knew how she was from the beginning.
- I know that, but look.
Somebody gotta work to pay all these bills.
- [laughs] Hey, I know that's right.
Shit, but hey.
Tomorrow we go out, make a few runs, you know.
That'd probably ease your mind on everything,
but 'til then, let's just enjoy today.
[doorbell rings]
- Babe, can you get that door
while I go get Janet?
- Yeah, I got it.
- [Tonya] Thank you.
[rhythmic pounding on door]
- Yo, what's up my man, Keon? - Hey, you, what's good?
- What's going on, Big G? - Nice seeing you, boy.
- Yeah, man.
Hey, this my homeboy Ricardo I was telling you about.
- Oh, Rico.
- It's Ricardo.
- Oh, my bad, man, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.
Appreciate the invite.
- Oh, no, don't worry about it.
Hey, I was out back talking with Mike, man.
You all, let's come on in.
- Hey, no, thanks, man.
Hey, the food smells good, by the way.
- Yeah, man, Tony whipping up something nice for us, man.
He back there doing his thing.
- Hey, that's cool, that's cool.
Hey, where the fool at anyway?
- Shit, I don't know, I mean, he said
once he was done, he had to go take care a few stuff.
He be right back.
- Yeah, dang.
Yeah.
Hm, how can a security guy afford a house like this anyway?
Ain't none of my business.
- Janet, wake up.
Wake up.
- All right, all right, I'm up.
Thank you, girl, for letting me sleep.
- No problem.
- I'm just so tired.
Me and Trina partied so hard last night before she left.
- You need to take it easy.
- One day.
That's not gonna change no time soon.
- Y'all never quit, do you?
I mean, what did Michael about all of this?
- Say about what?
I mean, what can he say?
I like to have fun, that's all.
- Maybe you're having too much fun.
- Too much fun?
No such thing.
You should try it.
You should come out with us one time.
- No, I'm good.
Plus I'm always grading papers.
I don't have time for that.
- All right.
- Well, come on.
They're waiting for us.
- So Keon told me you were in the service?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
Well, you know, I do a little time,
but they kicked my ass out, you know.
- Oh, word.
- Yeah, yeah.
Hey, Tonya, come here real quick.
Ricardo, this my girl, Tonya.
This is Ricardo.
- Oh, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.
Where I come from, we give hugs.
- Oh.
I'll be right back.
[ominous music]
- Hey, girl, party's here.
- Your boo thang is here.
- Oh shit, Dewayne Johnson's here?
[she laughs]
Hey, girl. - Hey.
- How are you?
- Hungover still, but you know,
the dictator wanted to come early.
- What's going on now?
- Kim, what isn't going on?
- Keep your head up, okay?
Let's enjoy the time with our friends while we have it.
Things always get better.
- Yeah, you may be right.
Did you hear if Trina made it safely?
- Yeah, she texted me, but she said
she tried to contact you, too.
- Oh, you know my phone has its days.
- It's hungover when you are, right?
[they laugh]
- Yeah.
- Oh, come on.
- [Kim] What's going on, guys?
How is everybody?
- Pretty good, how about you?
- [Kim] I'm great, thanks for asking.
- Hey, what's up, Kim?
This is homeboy Ricardo.
Ricardo, this is my girl, Kim.
- Oh, so you're the one Keon won't shut up about.
- See, this is what happens
when you keep my name in your mouth,
but it's nice to meet you, Ricardo.
- I'm gonna go grab a drink.
- All right, whatever.
[Keon sighs]
- Hey, it's been a long time, Tonya.
I see you're still looking good.
- Thanks, Rico.
Yes, it has.
- You know, you're the only one that calls me that.
- [Gregory] Man, what of these boys out here, man?
- This game is crazy, man.
Cowboys wouldn't even come through for the play today.
I don't know what's going on. - Cowboys stink, ooh.
- [Gregory] This is bullshit, man.
Cowboys are stinkin' up on.
- Hey, I'm gonna be right back.
I just gonna see Ricardo.
- [Gregory] Yeah, yeah, yeah, go ahead.
- I'm just saying, how long you gonna keep dodging me
and pretend like you don't know me?
You were mine.
- See? - Did you tell him that?
- There you go.
That was a long time ago,
and I prefer we keep it that way.
I'm happily with Gregory now.
- I don't care.
- What's good, bro?
You having fun?
- Yeah, it's cool.
- Hey, well, come on, and quit mingling
with just one person.
- Man, don't go there.
I just came and grabbed a drink.
- Uh-huh, yeah.
- Man, chill. - What you thinking?
- Damn, man [sighs].
[game audience cheering on TV]
[ominous music]
- You good, baby?
- Yeah, I'm good.
[ominous music]
[upbeat but gentle music]
- [Man] Oh, come on.
[man exclaims]
- [Man] Oh, bullshit.
- The game is on. - Ricardo, yeah.
- [Keon] I got another twenty.
- Yeah, man, come on, man. - Aw, bullshit.
[they mutter about game]
- I'm sorry I'm late, bro.
You know what I'm saying?
I stopped by the office real quick.
- [Gregory] Yeah, man, why'd you bring her--
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Tony, man, why you smell like perfume?
- Shit, what?
- [Tony] I don't smell like no damn perfume.
- Yeah, uh-huh, but anyway, how you been?
- Good, man, I can't complain.
You know, just working late hours.
- That's what's up.
Yeah, and I heard your business is a success.
Hey, the food today, definitely good.
- Hey, I appreciate that, family.
I don't get no complaints, so.
- Good, good.
And hey, by the way, this is my homeboy Ricardo.
Ricardo, this is Tony who's always late.
And that over there, my friend, is
his mama [speaks Spanish].
- Keon, shut up.
- So, uh, Vanessa.
What's it like working with Tony?
- Oh, it's so much fun.
- I'm sure.
- I'm learning a lot about healthcare.
- Yeah?
I heard it's a lot of long hours and late nights?
- Yes, Tony's a hard worker.
We don't leave 'til everything's done perfectly.
- Oh, okay.
- Well, his wife truly does miss him
when he's there all night with you.
- Yes, he talks about her all the time.
I actually tried making an appointment with her,
but they say she's booked.
- Booked?
I mean, she's pretty much free as anything these days.
Ow, yeah, booked, she's totally booked.
- Yeah, need a little wine now.
- [Tonya] Yeah, me too.
- Shit, I have to go, you guys.
I have a client at the shop. - Really?
- I'm sorry. - Okay.
- Well, have fun.
- Bye, bye. - Bye.
- See you, thanks for coming.
- Hey, Tony, don't forget your friend.
- You want some wine?
- This was fun.
We definitely gotta do it again, guys.
- Yes, we do, girl.
- [mumbles] I'm sorry I volunteered.
Not you, not you, Janet.
- [laughs] Don't volunteer my woman, we gotta run.
- I can help.
It's the least I can do.
- [Tonya] [laughs] I don't know what you just said,
but that's okay.
I'll handle it.
- Thank you, girl.
Tony, don't forget your friend.
- I see you got jokes.
- [Janet] Just a few.
Dang, I miss my girl Trina.
- Don't worry.
She'll be back soon enough.
- [Tonya] Bye, girl.
- [Man] Bye.
- Nice meeting you.
- Bye.
- See you. - All right.
- It was nice to meet you.
[ominous music]
[door slams]
[ominous music]
[car beeps]
[car doors slam]
- What is he doing here?
- I didn't tell you because I knew you wouldn't agree to it.
- Michael, this is part of our problem.
You don't involve me.
Do you wonder why I act the way I do sometimes?
Look, I don't have time to listen to
what he has to say right now.
- Janet.
Janet.
[ominous music]
Hey, Pastor.
- [Pastor] How you doing, Mike?
- Doing all right.
[ominous music]
Come on in.
[doorbell rings]
- [Digital Voice] Front door.
- Nice place, Mike.
- Thank you, Pastor.
- You know, I'm happy to keep an eye on your tithe.
- [laughs] I'm gonna get you a drink.
Excuse me, one second, Pastor
[Pastor laughs]
- Hm.
- Janet, just listen.
Just hear him out.
Just give him two minutes, that's it.
Janet, please. - Michael.
- Baby, please.
- You really get on my nerves.
- Thank you for coming, Pastor.
- No problem.
I appreciate you reaching out to me.
- So what life-changing revelation
do you have for us today, Pastor?
- Janet!
I'm sorry, Pastor. - It's okay.
- In answer to your question,
I'd like to hear what you have to say,
but first off, what is the biggest problem
you feel you two have against one another?
- Her drinking, Pastor.
She parties all the time.
She comes back, she's irritable and angry.
She doesn't want to get a job.
I don't know what to do.
- And my problem is you're so controlling all the time.
Let me live my life.
- You two remind me of me and my wife
when we were first married.
I can remember when you lost your firstborn, and.
I'm sorry.
I know it's tough to think about.
You've already proven that you could weather
any storm that life brings your way.
- Thank you, Pastor.
I'm not perfect, I know I'm not.
I just want us to be better.
- And if you want us to be better,
you will let me heal in my own way.
- Your way isn't right, though.
- Who are you to tell me what's right?
- Who am I not to tell you? - Hey, hey.
- Look, I know it's tough,
but you need to remember, no one's perfect.
No relationship is perfect.
Let's pray before we continue.
[gentle, sad music]
- Pastor, I really appreciate you coming by.
- No problem at all.
Call on me anytime.
- All right.
[gentle, sad music]
- Let's go to the bar,
because I need a couple of shots.
- Hold on, Michael keeps calling.
- Oh my God, you know he's gonna kill our vibe, right?
- It's just that ever since Pastor came a few days ago,
he's been trying so much harder to make things work.
- Whatever.
- Girl, just give me a second.
- All right.
- Hello.
- Anything for you?
- [Man] I'm good.
[Trina clears her throat]
- Can I have the usual, please?
- Sure.
Do you want it on the rocks?
- It's my usual.
Isn't it always on the rocks?
- Yes, ma'am, coming right up.
- Lord.
- You must be Trina.
- Why?
- Who's your friend?
- Well, why not invite her over
and she could tell you for herself?
- [Janet] Don't you ever compare me to another woman.
- All right, I like that idea.
- I'll bet you do.
[he laughs]
- Now is not a good time.
- Just hang up.
- I'm not ready to go, point blank.
Bye, Michael.
- Yeah, bye, Michael.
Girl, listen.
You really need to figure out this man
you want to spend the rest of your life with.
Seriously.
Well, anyway, you see that guy at the bar?
He was asking about you.
So come on, let's go.
- Girl, you know I'm taken.
- Oh my God, girl, there's nothing wrong
with a little friendly conversation.
- Trina [laughs].
No, I guess not.
- Come on, let's go. - Okay.
- What is your name?
- Wait, hold up, is that how you grease someone?
- I usually skip the small talk
and get right to business.
- Oh [laughs].
- You know, I've seen your friend come in
and out of here a bunch, and just never had
the opportunity for a conversation.
I didn't want to miss my chance today.
- I'm Janet, and you are?
- It's a pleasure to meet you, Janet.
I'm Marvin.
- Nice to meet you, too.
- So let me guess,
was that your man you were on the phone with?
- Yeah, but it's complicated.
- Trina. - What?
- I'm just telling the truth.
- [Janet] Really?
- Well, it just so happens,
I'm actually pretty well-known for solving complications.
- Oh, okay.
Solve on. - Okay.
- Mm, you got [mumbles] girl. - I don't know.
- Yeah, I'm engaged, so I don't think I should have that.
- Take the note, girl.
- Well, I just want to check up on you.
So call me.
Or don't, whatever you want.
It was a real pleasure meeting you.
- All right.
You better call that man, girl.
- Trina, you're gonna get me in trouble.
- No, I'm not.
There's nothing wrong with having new friends.
That's all it is. - Trina, please.
- I really think you should call him.
- Hello, ladies.
- Hello. - Hey.
- How are you guys doing?
- We're fine. - Good.
- What's up, y'all?
- You all rode together.
- [Kim] Yes, we did.
- Okay. - Okay.
- So where's the rest of the crew?
- Well, Tonya called and said they won't be able to make it,
said they called Greg in late to work the night shift,
something about a shipment, I don't know.
- Where's Tony at, then?
- Well, he's not coming either.
He had to verify the shipment, him and his secretary.
Wait, don't tell her, blah, blah, blah, whatever.
But anyways, you guys are looking so nice.
- Yeah, okay.
Ooh, that's my jam.
- Baby, did you want to dance?
- Yes, I do.
- Hey Kim, you wanna come with and dance?
- Sure, why not?
- Come on.
Ooh, come on, ooh, ooh.

[gentle music]
- Man, what took you so long?
- Nan, was trying to talk to Janet, man, you know.
I just lost track of time.
- Man, women ain't nothing but trouble, man.
- Nah, shit, man.
How did you and Tonya do it?
- Shit, I just give her that money
and give her that you know.
[they laugh]
It's taking long, man [mumbles].
- [Tony] What's up, fellas?
- Man, you can never - Good.
- [Gregory] be on time, can you?
- Man, don't start with me, bro.
You know how hard it is to make one of those disappear?
[ominous music]
- Yeah.
Yeah, this look good, this look real good.
Are you all boys ready to head out?
- Shit, I'm not going with you fools.
- Fools.
If it wasn't for me, it would have been
your asses locked up for that crime.
So if I say ready to head out,
the only answer I expect to hear is when.
- Nigger, whatever.
I told your monkey ass.
I told you not to get out the car and make that sale.
Didn't I?
But no, you didn't want to listen.
It ain't my fault you got popped by a twelve.
I don't give a fuck if I was driving or not.
And Michael shouldn't have even been in the car.
He was on his way to get out the hood.
But you ain't gonna let that happen, though, are you?
That right here, consider us even, man.
- Wait, wait, let me get into it.
- Hey, hey, hey Greg, man, chill.
- Yo, Mike a grown-ass man.
He knew exactly what he was getting himself into.
And no you stay throwing that in my face.
I lost five years of my life because of it.
But you know what?
None of that matters,
because after this deal, we through.
Get the hell out of my way.
[dramatic music]
- Mike, you don't have to do this, man.
You don't owe that fool shit.
[dramatic music]
Don't fuck up your life, Mike.
Somebody might die behind this shit.
- [Mike] Where we at?
- Had to make a stop real quick.
- What kind of stop?
- You know the stops we used to make back in the day?
- Come on, I can't believe you got me out here.
- Stop whining, man.
- [Mike] Fuck you, man.
[Gregory laughs]
- Hey, let's go.
[Mike groans]
[ominous music]
- Where my money at, yo?
I said where the fuck my money at?
- Hey, man, look.
I already gave you all your money, man.
- Nah, nah, nah.
You only gave me some of my money.
I need all that money right now.
- What?
- Yeah, you better sit your mother fucking ass.
- Yo, chill, bae, chill, Ricky.
How much I owe you?
- Man, don't play me.
You know exactly what you owe me.
- I was supposed to get that money,
but a couple workers didn't give me my money.
[Gregory mutters under his breath]
So yo, just give me a little time.
- Nah, I ain't tryin' to hear none of that.
- Hey, that's it?
- Listen, homie.
You ain't stupid.
Drop it.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey come on.
Hey, listen, listen, let's just be cool.
He said he got some workers.
Hey, we'll come back.
- Listen, he say
he just need a little time. [others argue]
I don't know what the fuck you got to do.
- Chill, chill, bruh, chill, come on.
Look it, bruh, we'll just come back.
He said he got some workers,
bring him up some [mumbles].
We'll come back, man, it's good.
We'll come back.
[ominous music]
- You better have my money by tonight.
[man mumbles]
I'll be waiting.
- Let's get out of here, Rick.
Shit.
- See you, slick.
- Who this punk ass think he is?
Trying to play me.
- What?
- What the fuck? [gunshots explode]
- [Trina] All righty, ma'am.
We are done.
Here you go.
- [Customer] Thank you.
- No, thank you.
All right, who's next?
- Oh, that would be me. - I'm next.
- No, I'm next.
- Um, excuse me, I was here first.
- [Customer] No.
- Look in the book.
My name is in the book.
- No, I'm next.
She came late.
I'm next. - Yeah, right.
- Okay.
- All right, where is my secretary?
- Yeah, get your secretary.
- I'm here.
- Dang, girl, can you just do your job?
Anyway, who is next?
- You had two call-outs,
and Vanessa Woods made an appointment.
- Oh, hell, no, mm-mm.
Tell that little homewrecker I'm booked, okay.
- But you're not, Trina.
- Did you hear what I just said?
I'm booked.
My last appointment is at four.
If she wants her hair done,
she can let Kim do it if she has free time.
Jesus.
[phone rings]
- Hello.
- Hey, girl, you busy?
Let me tell you what just happened.
How 'bout Miss Ho-nessa had the nerve
to schedule an appointment with me.
- Tony's assistant?
Girl, you better forget all that,
and just make your money.
That is your business you're talking about.
- Yeah, a business I could do without.
Do you know, I know you all think I'm crazy,
but I just got this gut feeling
that her and Tony are messing around.
And I just haven't caught them yet.
- Mm-mm.
Girl, you need to forget that.
- But anyway, how's your new side boo thing?
- First of all, Marvin is not my boo thing,
and we only had a couple of conversations.
But he keeps asking about Michael.
- Oh, okay.
Well, you know, maybe he's one of those down-low brothers.
I mean, we do live in Atlanta, right?
[customer clears throat]
Anyway, girl, I gotta go.
Come by tomorrow if you can, okay?
All right, cause my client's in here tripping.
[customer sighs]
- Oh, no, she didn't.
- All right, you come on.
- I was--
- Hard luck, excuse me.
[knocking on door]
- Hey, my secretary here.
- Now what was that last night?
- That was his warning.
Next time he's gonna get what's coming to him.
- That's the same thing they gonna say
when they come looking for us.
- Shit, I don't give a fuck.
We all gotta die someday, right?
- What about Tonya?
- What about her?
I mean, she acting all brand new
with her little side piece now.
- What?
- Nothing, man.
Cause you know what, none of that matters.
That's why I got those cameras all installed
inside of the house.
Watching everything she do.
- Man, you still on this kid shit, man.
I don't know about you,
but I'm trying to grow old with my lady by my side.
- You planning on making that happen
with the lifestyle you living?
- If it comes to this life,
or the life I plan on living,
nigger, the choice simple.
- Well, we got a job tomorrow,
and you are gonna finish it.
You know, I'm meeting with this potential buyer tomorrow,
and I already took the shipments out of the briefcase
before giving it to them.
Yeah.
- Nah.
It's our anniversary tomorrow.
- Get out of here.
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
Wow. - It's been a rough couple
of years, but we made it. - Yeah.
- Yeah, well, you know, congratu-fucking-lations.
Celebrating with a woman that can't even stand you.
You better get your priorities in order.
- I am.
You better take your own advice.
[ominous music]
- See you tomorrow.
[door slams]
- Fuck.
[dogs barking]
- [Marvin] Oh, Jesus.
- Why the fuck you haven't checked in yet?
- Because there's nothing to report.
- It's been a few weeks, man.
What you mean, you ain't got nothing?
- Look, David, I don't--
- That's Commander Tate to your ass.
- Yeah?
Get off your high horse.
You got that promotion, what, a month ago?
And you're having a power trip?
Relax.
- Watch yourself, Marvin.
We have a job to do,
and I seem to be the only one interested
in getting it done.
- Hey, I've been working Janet.
She just does not want to talk about him.
Any time I even mention him, she just,
she gets frustrated and she shuts herself down.
I don't know how to work that.
- Try harder.
Look, the chief want these drugs off the street ASAP.
And I'm not getting fired because of you.
Do I make myself clear?
- Yes, sir.
- Good.
[door slams]
- God help you all.
- So all of a sudden he wants to be Mr. Romantic now.
Said he has something special planned.
- Aw, that's really sweet.
- Yeah, that sounds really nice.
- Nice my ass.
He's probably messing around
and trying to butter you up to hide it.
- Trina, stop being so paranoid.
Just cause you think your man's cheating,
doesn't mean everyone else's is.
- Do you like your job?
- Janet, look, he's not perfect,
but he is trying.
You gotta give him props for that.
- Yeah, you may be right.
I'm just so tired of the fighting.
I want to live my life.
- Nah, I know I might seem a little negative sometimes.
- Sometimes?
- All right, slightly more than sometimes.
But, you know, Michael really loves you,
and sometimes you just gotta give people
a chance to prove themselves.
And we need to be open to love,
even when the desire is to hate.
All right, what, what.
- Nothing, I just never thought I would see the day
when Trina Roberts said something positive about a man.
- Whatever.
- You may be right.
- I know I'm right.
- That'll do.
- I like this color.
I'm gonna put it up in a ponytail,
and then I'm gonna do your makeup, okay?
- Okay.
- For your special night. - I need to look perfect.
- [Trina] All right.
[gentle music]
- [Tonya] This has to stop.
- That's what you said the time before that,
and the time before that.
- Yeah, well, that was the last time.
This was just wrong.
- Well, if loving you is wrong,
then I don't want to be right.
- I'm serious, Rico.
We can't do this anymore.
If Gregory finds out, he'll kill the both of us.
- Look, he won't.
We're just catching up.
- But I'm gonna be a married woman soon.
I can't keep doing this with you.
- And I know.
Look at me.
I love you.
I always have,
but if you want to be gone, then I'm gone.
But I don't regret any of this.
- Well, I do.
[gentle music]
- You picked a nice movie.
- Thank you.
I thought you might like it.
- I did.
- Good.
You know I love you, right?
I really love you,
and I just want to make this work between us.
I know you've been through some rough patches, but
I want us to try again, starting our family.

[they sigh]
- Are you ready for round two?
- You mean round 12?
- Yeah [laughs].
That's what I meant.
- You know we have church in a couple hours.
- Well, that's a couple more hours to make up for lost time.
[she laughs]
Oh, Janet.
I've been thinking about everything you said.
You know, you're right.
I spend so much time at the office.
I'm gonna be home more to work on us.
- You mean that?
- Yeah.
- I need to see some action, Michael.
Actions speak louder than words.
- You're right.
You didn't have a problem with my actions last night.
[she laughs]
- No, not at all.
And I guess, I can stop drinking a little.
- A little?
- Just a little.
[congregation applauds]
- [Man] All right, all right, all right, all right.
- You see, we all have a problem
when it comes to learning to love unconditionally.
[congregation mutters affirmatively]
Instead, we place conditions.
- [Congregation] That's right.
- And when people don't love the way we desire
for them to love, we begin to pull away.
- [Congregation] That's right.
- [Pastor] And question that love.
- [Man] And question it, that's right.
- Now what does the Bible say about love?
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
It does not envy.
It does not boast.
It is is not proud.
It is not rude.
- Why didn't you wake me up?
- [Pastor] It is not self-seeking.
- You should ask that little scrawny heifer
of yours to wake you up.
Since she does everything else for you.
Had the nerve to come in my shop asking for help.
Well, I'll show her some help.
- How many times do I have to tell you?
There's nothing going on between me and her.
She just my secretary, that's it.
- [Pastor] It always protects.
- You know it's a sin to lie
in the house of the Lord, right?
Liar. - It always hopes.
- It always perseveres.
Love never fails but where there are prophecies,
they shall cease.
Where there are tongues, they will be still.
Where there is knowledge,
they will be passed on.
Now what does that mean?
It's simple.
When you love, you got to love with everything within you.
[congregations mutters affirmatively]
You cannot let anything or anybody come between you.
- Ooh, amen.
Amen, Pastor, amen. [hands clap]
- You've got to love your partner.
- [Congregation] Amen.
- [Pastor] You have got to trust your partner.
- Amen, Pastor.
- Now let's close with prayer.
[Pastor mumbles]
- [Congregation] Amen.
- Could you come on up, sir?
[congregation applauds]
- Lord, we bless you on this glorious day.
[congregation mutters affirmatively]
We thank you for a powerful message.
- [Congregation] Thank you, Lord.
- Talking about love and rekindling the love for you.
- Pastor really showed out this morning.
- [Janet] Yeah, he did.
- Yeah, that was a good one.
I needed that.
- Me and my baby both.
Cause God knows I love me some Janet.
- Aw.
- And I love me--
- Ah.
- Oh?
- Go kiss your ho.
- Trina, stop.
You know you love that man.
- Yeah, it's just that
when someone loves one, but doesn't want to admit it.
[they laugh and mutter]
- Hey, I'm cooking tonight. - Hey, all right.
You guys want to come through, what?
- Yeah. - You sure?
- Yeah, we're sure.
- Nah, I can't make it.
I gotta meet Greg at the office.
- Michael, I really don't feel like you should go with him.
I really need you to be with me right now.
What's more important?
[ominous music]
- Ooh [mumbles].
- Just go, Michael.
Just go.
[ominous music]
- Why'd you call me here?
I can't keep doing this with you.
- I just want to talk to you.
Listen, before I leave,
I just wanted you to know I never stopped loving you,
and I see you with another man.
It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
The times we spent together meant everything to me.
- Ricardo, we were young and in love.
But we should've just kept that in the past.
- Did you ever think of us, of me?
Did you even ever?
- Of course I did.
But I didn't want to dwell on something,
knowing that there was a chance
I would never see you again.
You had your mind made up to go into the service
even before you told me.
I couldn't go with you.
I wasn't ready for that.
- I know.
And that's something I regret.
I should've never went at all.
But when I did, I missed you right then and there.
[he sighs]
Remember that time we snuck into the movies
five times and had a little fun?
- Yeah, and that night when I got home,
I couldn't even remember the name
for one movie when my mom asked.
- Me either.
[they chuckle]
Man.
[gentle music]
I'm leaving in a couple days.
I get deployed again.
- So I guess this is goodbye.
- I want you to read this after I leave.
Be good.
I hope he makes you happy,
and he never lets go.
- Ricardo, wait.
[ominous music]
[door slams]
- Who the fuck you think you are?
Who the fuck you think you are, huh?
I saw the way you looked at her.
She belongs to me.
I never liked your punk ass since day one.
- I'm sorry.
I was just saying goodbye.
- Oh, shit, you just saying goodbye?
- Yeah. - Oh.
[he laughs]
- Aw, man, you was just saying goodbye.
Yeah, man.
You gonna be all right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, saying goodbye.
Goodbye.
[gunshot fires]
[bird wings flap]
[ominous music]
- That now.
- Hey, clear out.
- See, this is the bullshit we're trying to prevent.
- That's one of Janet's friends.
- [Policeman] Yo, boss.
- Look who it is.
- Got it? - Got it.
[ominous music]
- I mean, I just can't believe you're a cop.
So that's why you've been asking Janet
about Michael so much?
You tried to use my friend.
That's just pathetic.
- Look, I am sorry,
but I need you ladies to cooperate with me.
Now I know none of you want to hear this,
but Gregory has been dealing a new synthetic drug.
And it is flooding our streets.
We already have 20 cases of overdoses.
Now, we've been watching him for some time,
but to make his matters worse,
we believe he's killed someone.
- Wait, Gregory killed somebody?
- Who was it?
- I'm sorry.
I can't disclose that info.
- Who was it?
Was it Ricardo?
Oh, no, this is all my fault.
Oh my God, this is my fault.
- [Trina] Listen, this is not your fault, okay?
He's always had issues.
It's not your fault.
- I'm sorry,
but if you know where your boyfriend is,
please help us.
- I don't know.
I haven't seen him.
- We're under the suspicion that
he, Michael, and Tony have all been working together.
And if that's true, they all three need
to be brought into justice.
I'm sorry.
Can I talk to you?
- It's gonna be okay.
[she sobs]
- Where's Janet?
- Oh, the mail.
[ominous music]
- No, no, np.
Please, please.
Get out of my house.
I'll call the police.
- Bitch, shut up.
Call 'em.
You know the cops take forever to come anyway.
Hey, you'll be dead before they get here.
But I'll leave, if you answer this one question.
Where the fuck's your man at?
- What do you want with him?
- He got a price on his head.
- A very big price.
- [Janet] What are you talking about?
- Look, I ain't here for no games.
Hey, this liquor kinda strong.
Where's your man at?
- I don't know.
I haven't seen him all day.
- [Ricky] She lying.
- What is it you want, money?
I'll get it for you.
Just please don't hurt me.
I'll do whatever you want.
- Look like I need money?
Nah, I'll just leave this message.
Tell Greg next time he see me, he better kill me.
Word, come on.
[doorbell rings]
- [Digital Voice] Front door.
- So we have a new product we need your approval on.
- Okay, I'll sign off on it tomorrow, okay?
- Also, you're scheduled to meet
with Mr. Kennedy Friday at 1 p.m.
He wants to cover a couple things
before the end of January.
- We should've spoken with them before the holidays.
I don't have time.
- Oh my God, what did you do?
What did you do?
- Shit.
- Still up to the same old shit again.
And you probably helping him out.
- [Tony] Baby, listen, I--
- Mrs. Roberts, please let me--
- [Trina] Listen, ho, you shut up.
- [Tony] Back up.
- Say something again and I'll snatch them damn tracks
out of your head and shove them up your ass.
Why would you do this?
You had everything you ever wanted.
Why would you screw it up?
No words, huh?
Nothing to say.
That's what I thought.
- Hey, Janet.
Hey.
Hey, hey, babe, Janet.
What's wrong?
- Some thug forced his way into our house, Michael,
and pointed a gun at me.
- Hey, what?
- I told you not to mess with him again.
He nearly screwed up your life before,
and you let him do it all over again.
Michael, what is going on?
- Not now, Janet.
- Greg is selling again, is he?
The news, they's talking about that new drug
out on the streets.
And I found a bottle in the trash.
You've been hiding everything from me.
Why would you do this,
knowing what would happen if you get caught?
- I, I don't know.
I don't know.
We're up to our eyeballs in debt.
And Greg came up with this plan.
- There's no excuse.
You have a great job, Michael.
Baby, I know we have problems,
but we're supposed to be a team.
- You're right.
You're right.
We've been so divided since we lost Jake.
I didn't know how to,
I didn't know what to do or what to say.
I thought I was just doing the best I could.
- This is no, no, no.
No, Michael, no.
That's you being stupid.
You're throwing away everything that you worked so hard for.
You went from a drug-dealing teen
to a potential VP of a major pharmaceutical company.
Gregory is throwing his life away.
Baby, don't lose yours.
Michael.
Michael, wait.
[phone beeps]
[ominous music]
- Man, where have you been?
I've been trying to reach you all day.
- None of that matters.
Hey, what you doing here anyway?
- Man, they came to my house and put a gun to my lady head.
- Damn.
- [Michael] Yeah.
- You sure you want to do this?
- When it come to protecting my woman, hell yeah.
- [Ricky] Well, well, well.
- Let's go.
- I don't appreciate you coming
to my lady house like that. - Not now.
- What?
- You came to my house and point a gun at my lady.
That's some foul shit.
What's funny, nigger.
- Actually, I'm the one that put the gun to her head.
- You?
- Man, but I thought it was his house.
That's the address he gave me.
- What?
- Y'all both dead anyway, man.
You put that down.
You ain't gonna pull. - You can put your hands
- [Michael] where I can see.
- Man, put it down.
- [Michael] I know what it is.
Put your hands where I can see them, nigger.
- Scaredy-cat, what you gonna do with that?
- Shut up, put your hands up.
[gunshot explodes] Oh, shit.
Fuck, man.
- What?
- What the fuck you shoot them for?
- Get the hell out.
I was doing you a favor.
- I didn't need you involved in any way.
[fist thuds] [Gregory groans]
- Mike.
[Ricky groans]
Mike!
- Fuck you.
[gunshot explodes]
[ominous music]
- Mike, you better answer your phone.
I'm gonna find you.
You're gonna finish what we started.
You hear me?
You gotta.
[he laughs]
What are you gonna do with that gun, huh?
Huh, you're not gonna do nothing.
[gunshot explodes]
[thunder rumbles]
- [Tate] So you got a update for me?
- I pushed the family and friends a little bit more today.
I don't know, man.
It doesn't seem like they know much.
[ominous music]
- [Tate] I'm thinking that maybe
you can get them to turn on each other.
- I don't know, maybe.
- It's good work.
Listen.
- What?
- Gregory was killed.
- What?
- Then they got surveillance.
- What? - The whole thing.
- Look.
- Oh, no.
Aw, fuck.
- Come on, man, let's go.
Let's go.
[car engine revs]
[sirens wail]
- Janet, baby.
Baby, where are you?
We gotta go.
Janet.
Baby.
Janet, Janet
Shit.
Baby.
Baby, baby. [doorbell rings]
- [Digital Voice] Front door.
- Are you, are you okay, what's wrong?
- Where have you been?
- I'm gonna go take care of Thug Life.
- What did you do?
[sad music]
- Greg killed him,
and he tried to kill me,
but we gotta go now.
He might be on his way back over here.
Baby, what's wrong?
We gotta go.
[sirens wail]
Shit.
Fuck.
- Everything's gonna be fine, Michael.
We'll get through this thing.
I'll do anything to protect you.
[sad music]
I love you.
- Me too.
[sad, gentle music]
- You're the reason
in this mess.
You're the reason Michael is in this mess.
And I'm gonna free him.
[he cries]
- You're the reason, you bitch.
[gunshots explode]
[she cries]
[sad, gentle music]
[upbeat music]
