00:00:00Oh my god, hey baby girl, do you need help?
00:00:15Come, come to me.
00:00:18Oh my god, what happened?
00:00:20Are you okay?
00:00:24Okay, I got you, I got you.
00:00:30Where are you from?
00:00:35Here.
00:00:37Cascade Heights, Atlanta.
00:00:39Oh, bougie.
00:00:42What brings you downtown?
00:00:43I would eat tables at the deluxe steakhouse, but...
00:00:50Today was horrible.
00:00:51Do you want to talk about it?
00:00:55Chef...
00:00:56He grabbed me...
00:01:03And he tried to...
00:01:06I didn't know what to do.
00:01:09Do you need to go to the hospital?
00:01:12No, he didn't get far.
00:01:15I kicked him off.
00:01:18But he's...
00:01:21Mad as hell.
00:01:23And I don't know if I can go back.
00:01:26Why the hell would you go back?
00:01:29I have to.
00:01:32I don't have a choice.
00:01:34There's always a choice.
00:01:37Family?
00:01:38Only...
00:01:39Only...
00:01:40My brother.
00:01:41And...
00:01:42We can't lose the house.
00:01:43I need that money.
00:01:49Can you dance?
00:01:51Ballet.
00:01:53For ten years.
00:01:55And I can waltz.
00:01:59I was a debutante.
00:02:00So you can waltz.
00:02:04Can you finesse?
00:02:30This little kid got some grip.
00:02:31Yeah, bite back.
00:02:33Riding big beats with a...
00:02:35From the States.
00:02:36Got to stop bleating.
00:02:37Now I got a flip.
00:02:38Just a hook.
00:02:39Cause me don't make it.
00:02:40Got it on this hip.
00:02:41I ain't got it.
00:02:42I don't get it.
00:02:43Cause I feel heaven.
00:02:44It don't really matter what a...
00:02:45Gotta say.
00:02:46Bad love.
00:02:53Sure about this?
00:02:54I'm here.
00:03:01Let's get it.
00:03:02We're done.
00:03:24I got it.
00:03:25That's a problem.
00:03:26I might let them know.
00:03:32Now presented.
00:03:33Illusion Live is dancing in the dark day of time.
00:03:37Very simple.
00:03:54Happy Anniversary!
00:04:20Happy Anniversary!
00:04:22What?
00:04:23You are so sweet.
00:04:26You could have Vixen merch someday.
00:04:28I wish.
00:04:30My brother would murder me if he knew I was secretly Vixen.
00:04:41Speaking of the devil.
00:04:43Shit.
00:04:44I gotta put on some clothes.
00:04:45Hold this.
00:04:51What you think?
00:04:54It's lit.
00:04:56How much did it cost?
00:04:58Yo, stop worrying about money so much, okay?
00:05:00That's my lane.
00:05:02Anyways, I'm off to go play poker.
00:05:04Don't bet it.
00:05:06Sis.
00:05:07I'm bringing home the whole pot.
00:05:12Hey, where you at?
00:05:13Uh...
00:05:14Campus.
00:05:16Alright, well I'll be late.
00:05:18So, you know, don't wait up.
00:05:20Okay, um, be safe.
00:05:23Love you.
00:05:30On campus, huh?
00:05:31Get real, Zora.
00:05:34You can't fool them forever.
00:05:35Hold them forever.
00:05:48Xavier?
00:05:54Xavier, is that you?
00:05:56What kind of welcome home is this?
00:06:03Quincy!
00:06:05You're back!
00:06:07Oh my god, wow.
00:06:08I missed you.
00:06:12Missed you too.
00:06:14Wow, you...
00:06:16grew up.
00:06:18What did you expect?
00:06:19You've been gone three years.
00:06:22No, you really look...
00:06:24Wow.
00:06:30Ah, where's your brother?
00:06:35He's still out from last night.
00:06:37Since when he started prowling.
00:06:40You know, he got injured.
00:06:42When he was fighting in MMA, so he quit.
00:06:44But you're still fighting, right?
00:06:46No.
00:06:48It looks like you took a pun.
00:06:50Occupational hazard.
00:06:52What occupation?
00:06:54I work security for a VIP.
00:06:56Wait, wait, whoa, whoa.
00:07:00You into ink now?
00:07:03I'm into a lot of new things.
00:07:05Ah, is that right?
00:07:06Mm-hmm.
00:07:08Get the fuck out, twin.
00:07:14My brother!
00:07:16Get over here, man.
00:07:18Welcome home!
00:07:20Oh, come here, man.
00:07:21Whoa!
00:07:22It's good to be back.
00:07:23Look at you.
00:07:25Hey.
00:07:26What's up, sis?
00:07:27Uh-uh, no.
00:07:28Where's your chain?
00:07:29Yo, last night was crazy.
00:07:32Look, check me out.
00:07:33I was up big, right?
00:07:36So I go all in, because I got three aces.
00:07:40Lost to a flush.
00:07:43What are you going to do?
00:07:45Yeah.
00:07:46That sucks.
00:07:48I win it back.
00:07:52You want a beer?
00:07:53Nah, man.
00:07:54It's too early for that.
00:07:56Shoot yourself, man.
00:07:58Come on, let's eat.
00:07:59Let's eat. Come on.
00:08:00What is that?
00:08:08It's a little hangover cure.
00:08:15Uh, alright, I should get going.
00:08:17I gotta pick up my rental keys and get settled in.
00:08:20No, no, no. Stay here, twin.
00:08:22No, we got room.
00:08:25I can't, man. It's paid for.
00:08:26Leaving us again already?
00:08:29Come on, man. Come on.
00:08:31No, no, but I can...
00:08:33I can make those chocolate chip pancakes.
00:08:35You know, the ones you like.
00:08:37You remember it?
00:08:38Mm-hmm.
00:08:39My favorite.
00:08:40Yeah.
00:08:41Oh, man.
00:08:42I'd love to, but...
00:08:44gotta take a rain check.
00:08:47Safe?
00:08:48You know, I...
00:09:05I worry about you when you're out all night.
00:09:08Well...
00:09:10Quit worrying.
00:09:13What'd you do?
00:09:15I was studying at Savannah's.
00:09:17What?
00:09:18Yeah?
00:09:19Mm-hmm.
00:09:20You really been hitting them books.
00:09:22You know I have to.
00:09:23Statistics is rough.
00:09:25I hear you.
00:09:26Are you still on track for, um, Magna Coon?
00:09:28Summa Coon Laude.
00:09:31Ain't on number one, so...
00:09:33You know, Mama and Daddy would be real proud of you right now.
00:09:40What about you?
00:09:42Yeah.
00:09:43Always.
00:09:44What?
00:09:45Come here.
00:09:46Come on.
00:09:47Come on.
00:09:48Mm.
00:09:49Oh, my God.
00:09:50You smell like a funky vampire.
00:09:52Smell?
00:09:53Yes.
00:09:54No, no, no, no.
00:09:55See, shower, eat...
00:09:56Oh, my God.
00:09:57...in time with my long-lost homies.
00:09:59Oh, my God.
00:10:00It's the perfect day.
00:10:01Yeah.
00:10:03Boy.
00:10:04They're awful.
00:10:06And no beer for breakfast.
00:10:09Yeah.
00:10:31Guess what I found in the trash today.
00:10:36Your brother's empty vodka bottles.
00:10:40Good guess.
00:10:43Another past due bill.
00:10:50Xavier told me he paid everything this month.
00:10:53He can't be trusted.
00:10:55You need to start paying your bills yourself.
00:11:00His name is on everything.
00:11:03He won't add me to any of the checking accounts
00:11:06and won't share his password with me.
00:11:08Sora.
00:11:09Stop giving him your money.
00:11:12Do you want Georgia-Electra to shut off your power?
00:11:14I already gave him my tips for this past week.
00:11:17I don't know what to do.
00:11:27Let's switch private rooms.
00:11:29You can earn a bonus from the executioner.
00:11:33The executioner?
00:11:35He's an underground fighter and he won this huge fight last night.
00:11:42And his manager booked him a private room for a prize.
00:11:47Promises a fat stack for the dancer who entertains him.
00:11:51I can't take your client.
00:11:58You better snatch it before I change my mind.
00:12:02Room one.
00:12:04You, you, you, go leave.
00:12:07Ooh, okay.
00:12:09Okay.
00:12:22Oh shit.
00:12:34Are you the executioner?
00:12:36In the flesh.
00:12:47You so damn fine.
00:12:51I think I need another drink.
00:12:53Yeah.
00:13:02I heard you won a big fight.
00:13:04That's right.
00:13:06Are you, you, my bros?
00:13:10I am.
00:13:13Congrats, champ.
00:13:21How about you, uh, come closer?
00:13:40Take my lap.
00:13:41I know you are not trying to boss me in my own house.
00:13:51Uh-huh.
00:13:53I'll be gentle.
00:13:57Unless you like it rough.
00:13:59Yeah.
00:14:03I bet you like it rough.
00:14:05Mm-hmm.
00:14:21Mm-hmm.
00:14:22Mm-hmm.
00:14:24Mm-hmm.
00:14:28I like to watch.
00:14:29Sorry, killer.
00:14:34My house, my rules.
00:14:43Damanatrix, huh?
00:14:48What's your name?
00:14:55Vixen.
00:14:59Yes, vixen.
00:15:04Oh, my.
00:15:06You are so swole.
00:15:09Have you seen any of my fights?
00:15:11No.
00:15:12I don't care much for violence.
00:15:17I'm not surprised.
00:15:20You sound sweet.
00:15:24Why do you say that?
00:15:25The sound of your voice.
00:15:29Sweet is a taste.
00:15:32How do I sound?
00:15:38Like, like somebody I know.
00:15:41Is this someone you care about?
00:15:50Yeah, actually.
00:15:52In my own way.
00:15:53Okay.
00:15:53Lucky girl, whoever she is.
00:16:11But trust, there's nobody like me.
00:16:17Come on.
00:16:26Let me look at you.
00:16:29Uh-uh.
00:16:30I'm in charge.
00:16:33Mm-hmm.
00:16:35Is this from your fight?
00:16:37Mm-hmm.
00:16:37When you want to kiss it, you make it feel better for me.
00:16:44Kissing's against the rules.
00:16:45Yeah, but you seem like a rule breaker.
00:16:51What the fuck, Q?
00:16:53Rachelle, what are you doing here?
00:16:58You canceled our date for this?
00:17:00It was not a date.
00:17:00I'm alone at the best bar in town.
00:17:03Then I see your post outside of this slut lounge.
00:17:06Wait.
00:17:07Are y'all together?
00:17:09I met her ringside.
00:17:10You told me you was catching up with your best friend tonight.
00:17:13What I do with my time is none of your damn business.
00:17:15Now calm down.
00:17:16How could you ditch me for her?
00:17:18Woman, I barely know you.
00:17:20You should be mingling with the A-list.
00:17:22Not underneath some nat-nat dirty hoe.
00:17:24Excuse you.
00:17:26We're on the clock.
00:17:28And who paid for you?
00:17:29Him or his sleazy manager?
00:17:31Oh, that's confidential.
00:17:37Now see your way out.
00:17:40Auntie.
00:17:40Auntie?
00:17:41Hey, calm down.
00:17:43I apologize.
00:17:45You apologizing to this whore?
00:17:47Where's my fucking apology?
00:17:48You're too good for this-
00:17:50Go.
00:17:50Go.
00:17:52Go.
00:17:52Go.
00:17:59Back early.
00:18:01Girl.
00:18:02The executioner is Quincy.
00:18:08Say what now?
00:18:11You're Quincy?
00:18:12You're brother's friend?
00:18:14Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:18:16Let me get this straight.
00:18:18You just danced for the one you've been in love with since elementary school?
00:18:25Back Quincy?
00:18:27Ooh.
00:18:28Okay.
00:18:28I do not love Quincy.
00:18:30Quincy.
00:18:31Quincy.
00:18:32Quincy.
00:18:35So, did the vixen slay him?
00:18:42Yeah, it wasn't saying.
00:18:46It wasn't saying.
00:18:47Yeah.
00:18:48Okay.
00:18:49You really owe me now.
00:18:52But there was this woman who ambushed us.
00:18:55And she said he stood her up to be here.
00:19:01I think I've seen her on campus or something.
00:19:04It's not funny.
00:19:09Quincy is mad overprotective of me.
00:19:13Like, if he finds out about this, he would tell Xavier and then all hell would ring.
00:19:19Did they recognize you?
00:19:26I think, with the mask and the wig, I got away with it.
00:19:35You think you then got busy with your dream mother?
00:19:44I just can't believe he lied to my face about his job.
00:19:51Look who's talking.
00:19:56Everyone has secrets, Zora.
00:20:00Even you.
00:20:03You're right.
00:20:11Hey, W-Time.
00:20:13How are you?
00:20:17Xavier's taking a marathon shower.
00:20:19He's still a hot water hog.
00:20:23Some things never change.
00:20:27I came to see you, too.
00:20:31About what?
00:20:32Catch me up.
00:20:33What's your plans after college?
00:20:38I'm going to become an entrepreneur.
00:20:40Wow.
00:20:42Tell me about your security job.
00:20:44Are there a lot of fights?
00:20:47I can't say.
00:20:47Hey, that's confidential.
00:20:50Excuse me?
00:20:51I signed an NDA.
00:20:53I'm a repeater.
00:20:55You can't hold water.
00:20:56Oh, okay.
00:20:57I'm just saying.
00:21:00I just don't think you should have to fight at work.
00:21:07I won't get hurt.
00:21:09I promise.
00:21:09But I appreciate the concern.
00:21:16I really do.
00:21:17I don't know.
00:21:28So.
00:21:31How's your love life?
00:21:33Oh, God.
00:21:34Wow.
00:21:35My dating life.
00:21:39Honestly, there's no time for that.
00:21:41Not on the roll.
00:21:42Been on any dates since you landed?
00:21:48I've only been back for, like, a minute.
00:21:51Okay.
00:21:52Yeah, maybe you're on the apps.
00:21:53On the apps?
00:21:54Mm-hmm.
00:21:54Wow.
00:21:55Is that what you do?
00:21:57Yeah.
00:21:58I don't know.
00:21:58I'm just saying it takes one little swipe to start hooking up with a random stranger.
00:22:03That's true.
00:22:04That's true.
00:22:05So, um, are you hooking up with strangers?
00:22:09I'm, I'm sorry.
00:22:11You said what?
00:22:12You're, ah, you're guilty.
00:22:14Okay.
00:22:15All right.
00:22:16Ground rules.
00:22:16Mm-hmm.
00:22:17Mm-hmm.
00:22:19No answering a question with a question.
00:22:22Okay.
00:22:25So when was your last hookup?
00:22:28She don't hook up.
00:22:31Is she jailbait?
00:22:32Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.
00:22:34I'm 21.
00:22:36I'm legal.
00:22:37Barely legal.
00:22:38All right.
00:22:40Now, let's finish school first, okay?
00:22:42Yeah?
00:22:43See, me and Q, we're gonna beat up any sucker that tried to get with you before then.
00:22:47Damn right.
00:22:48That's right.
00:22:50Understand?
00:22:51All right.
00:22:52Hey, you thirsty?
00:22:52Nah, man, I'm driving.
00:22:54Word.
00:22:58Be safe.
00:23:02You too.
00:23:04No interruptions this time.
00:23:30Let's finish where we started.
00:23:32My manager wants to keep me satisfied.
00:23:34Do I satisfy you?
00:23:37I came back, didn't I?
00:23:40I'll keep winning.
00:23:42For the both of us.
00:23:43You are so stunning.
00:23:57Flattery is fun, but money talks.
00:24:04How much for those lips?
00:24:06Kissing's not on the menu.
00:24:15You can't give.
00:24:22Can you receive?
00:24:23Once.
00:24:39Promise not to tell her?
00:24:44I promise.
00:24:46I'm not.
00:24:47I want to see you.
00:25:06You already broke the though kissing rule.
00:25:10Please fix.
00:25:20I'll tip you right.
00:25:21I'll tip you right.
00:25:21It's fine.
00:25:37It's hard now, killer.
00:25:44I'm out.
00:25:45Oh, okay.
00:26:03Okay, okay.
00:26:04No, okay.
00:26:04I know how to light a grill.
00:26:06Since when?
00:26:07Since I used to watch Daddy do it.
00:26:08There's no way Daddy let you anywhere near this grill.
00:26:11He never let Mama near it.
00:26:14Remember?
00:26:15He used to make that Eddie Murphy joke
00:26:17every time he put the grill on fire.
00:26:19Now that's a fire!
00:26:21Yeah.
00:26:22Hey, Quincy's free on Monday.
00:26:25We're going boating on the lake.

00:26:28Don't tell me.
00:26:29You're going to skip out on work to go on a blues cruise.
00:26:32No, I'm calling in sick
00:26:34because, you know, selling insurance,
00:26:37it just makes me ill.
00:26:39Right.

00:29:02Yeah, whatever.
00:29:04It's over there.
00:29:07Uh, thanks.
00:29:10Here, let me...

00:29:23Uh, no, it's...
00:29:25It's perfect.
00:29:34What, am I popping out
00:29:35or something?
00:29:36No, no, no, I'm...
00:29:37I'm having this crazy deja vu.
00:29:39Deja vu?
00:29:40About me?
00:29:42Oh, about...
00:29:43About someone else.
00:29:44Uh...
00:29:45Chicken's resting.
00:29:47Let's get some shots.
00:29:48What y'all doing in here?
00:29:50Uh, the charger.
00:29:52Her phone's dead.
00:29:53Tell me to grab it.
00:29:54Yeah.
00:29:56Y'all acting weird.
00:29:59Man, you look fast.

00:30:00Okay, whatever.
00:30:01My suit is on trend.
00:30:02Yeah.
00:30:15You look hot.
00:30:42Yeah, I am.
00:30:44I'm frying at you.
00:30:45Hey, come here.
00:30:49I wouldn't want you to burn, princess.
00:30:52Princess?
00:30:54Oh, she's the one that wrote the love poem
00:30:57with all the crowns, heart stickers, and shit.
00:31:00You showed her my poem.
00:31:02It fell out my gym bag.
00:31:03Crushing on your brother's homie.
00:31:13Miss saying, you never had the chance.
00:31:16As if you do.
00:31:21No, cut it out.
00:31:22Hey, it's me.
00:31:43Come in.
00:31:45You know, I didn't think she would make fun of the note.
00:31:55Thought it was sweet.
00:31:57It's cool.
00:31:58Yeah, whatever.
00:31:58It's fine.
00:31:58I don't even know why you still have it all these years later.
00:32:01You probably thought it was so silly.
00:32:03No, I mean it.
00:32:04It's really adorable, and it brings me good luck.
00:32:08Please.
00:32:09If Xavier heard that, he thinks of you as a brother.
00:32:15He would kill me if he ever knew I thought about you in that way.
00:32:18Kill you?
00:32:19Shit, he'd probably kill me.
00:32:23It's good I don't think about you in that way anymore.
00:32:28Yeah, no.
00:32:30Right.
00:32:35So, what's up with...

00:56:16standards.
00:56:19And
00:56:19right now I think they'd both be damn

00:56:30How long?
00:56:32How long what?
00:56:33How long you been fucking my best friend?
00:56:36Don't lie.
00:56:47I saw him creeping out.
00:56:49I was gonna tell you.
00:56:51No, I didn't want you to find out like this.
00:56:53Never again.
00:56:55Okay, you can't tell me who the fuck.
00:56:57You don't know the truth about him.
00:56:58Yeah.
00:56:59What truth?
00:57:04Well, Quincy is all about the chase.
00:57:06And now that he's had you,
00:57:09I've run away.
00:57:14What do you mean?
00:57:16He's fighting underground.
00:57:18I know.
00:57:21Huh.
00:57:23Oh, he told you.
00:57:24I found out.
00:57:25By accident.
00:57:28By accident how?
00:57:30He won a prize.
00:57:33It was a private dance
00:57:34at my club.
00:57:38Your club.
00:57:39What do you mean by that?
00:57:45I'm a dancer.
00:57:47At the Illusion Lounge.
00:57:48No.
00:58:01No.
00:58:02No, no.
00:58:03No, no.
00:58:04You're a college student.
00:58:05Yes.
00:58:06And a stripper.
00:58:07What about that steakhouse?
00:58:09I thought you worked at the steakhouse.
00:58:10I had to leave that job.
00:58:13The chef, he tried to.
00:58:19Savannah helped me get the job at Illusion Lounge.
00:58:23I had no choice.
00:58:23I had no choice.
00:58:25It's good money.
00:58:26I can't.
00:58:28I can't believe that you would even do that.
00:58:31Do what?
00:58:31Put food on that table?
00:58:33Pay my tuition?
00:58:35Save this house?
00:58:36No, you're disgusting.
00:58:37You're a fucking prostitute?
00:58:38And you're disgusting.
00:58:41I'm not a hooker.
00:58:43I'm a dancer.
00:58:44And you are overreacting.
00:58:46No, no.
00:58:46Don't flip this on me.
00:58:47This is your problem.
00:58:48I can't stomach enabling your drinking,
00:58:53your booze, the pills, gambling.
00:58:56I'm not giving you another penny.
00:58:59Fine.
00:59:00Because I don't want your whore money anyways.
00:59:03You say you want to do better.
00:59:06You have to get better.
00:59:07And I can't help you do that.
00:59:11I can't.
00:59:14You gotta do it for yourself.
00:59:24Go to hell.
00:59:29Watching you waste yourself away?
00:59:32That is hell.
00:59:43I'm out.
00:59:44Are you leaving town?
01:00:07No, I'm homeless.
01:00:15What?
01:00:16Oh, no.
01:00:19Did he kick you out?
01:00:21No.
01:00:23I left.
01:00:26Xavier, he found out about me and Quincy.
01:00:29And I told him I'm a stripper and he called me.
01:00:36Disgusting.
01:00:37Fucking asshole.
01:00:42Maybe.
01:00:45Maybe he's right.
01:00:47I don't know.
01:00:49Even Quincy has a problem with my working here.
01:00:51Don't second-guess yourself.
01:00:59There's nothing immoral about dancing.
01:01:02You're an entertainer.
01:01:04And if the men in your life have a problem with it,
01:01:07then that's on them.
01:01:11It's me.
01:01:12I have nowhere to go.
01:01:23You can stay with me, of course.
01:01:34What's Zora?
01:01:43She left.
01:01:45After you fucked her.
01:01:51Yeah.
01:01:52Yeah, I seen you on the prowl.
01:01:55The executioner.
01:01:58Blowing into town and wrecking my sister.
01:02:02It's not like that.
01:02:03You know, they should call you the predator.
01:02:06It was mutual, and she asked for-
01:02:08I should fucking kill you.
01:02:13We got real feelings.
01:02:15I care.
01:02:15Leave Zora alone.
01:02:20You know I'd never hurt her.
01:02:22No.
01:02:23No, you're not.
01:02:24You're gonna do more than hurt her.
01:02:26You're gonna get her killed.
01:02:28See, that company you keep, they're ruthless.
01:02:30And if anything goes wrong,
01:02:32they're coming after you
01:02:34and anybody in your vicinity.
01:02:38So you stay away from Zora.
01:02:41You stay the fuck away from me.
01:02:44You don't mean that.
01:02:46You're drunk.
01:02:49Don't make me get rid of you myself.
01:02:54Get the fuck out.
01:02:55I love it.
01:02:56You don't like it.
01:03:09I love it.
01:03:11I love it.
01:03:12I love it.
01:03:14I love it.
01:03:17I love it.
01:03:18Dora!
01:03:25Dora!
01:03:30Dora!
01:03:31Where is Dora?
01:03:33Are you fucking crazy?
01:03:35You don't use real names around here fully.
01:03:38You're the one that dragged into this trap in the first place.
01:03:40Yeah, because I helped her provide for your sorry ass.
01:03:43Okay, no fighting, you're welcome, fucker.
01:03:46No fighting!
01:03:47No!
01:03:48No fighting, or you'll get kicked out.
01:03:50Dora?
01:03:51No, no, no, no, take this off.
01:03:53Xavier, Xavier, sit down.
01:03:55Dora, you don't belong in this gross place with these ugly people.
01:03:58That's rich coming from an attic.
01:04:01Dora, this place is filthy.
01:04:05Okay, come home, come on.
01:04:06Xavier, Xavier, leave, leave, or I'll have you removed.
01:04:12Why don't you fuck off me?
01:04:17You okay?
01:04:18You okay?
01:04:19That girl is cracking on my feet.
01:04:20That girl is cracking on my feet.
01:04:22That girl is like that.
01:04:23No.
01:04:24What's that?
01:04:25Oh, my God.
01:04:29What is that?
01:04:32Do you feel like I could do this?
01:04:34Yeah.
01:04:35Do you feel like this?
01:05:06How did you get in here?
01:05:29I've been trying to reach you.
01:05:34I'm so glad you came.
01:05:36What is this?
01:05:43I don't read that.
01:05:51It's for me.
01:05:52I'm your debut job.
01:05:54I didn't know how else to tell you.
01:06:11You signed on for three more years on tour of Underground.
01:06:19My apartment.
01:06:27You can stay there.
01:06:31I already took care of the rent.
01:06:33I'm so nice.
01:06:37What a gentleman.
01:06:39I'm just trying to help you.
01:06:41By what?
01:06:42By ignoring me?
01:06:44By sneaking around?
01:06:46Making plans to dump me without talking to me?
01:06:50No, I just...
01:06:51I just needed...
01:06:52You wanted to use me.
01:06:55After our incredible time together.
01:06:59It's unbelievable.
01:06:59I knew you'd get upset.
01:07:03And you did it anyways.
01:07:08I was a fool to think you cared about me.
01:07:11I was a fool to think you cared about me.
01:07:19I was a fool to think you cared about me.
01:07:21I just can't be with you.
01:07:22Because of Xavier?
01:07:25That's bullshit.
01:07:28He has no say in what we do.
01:07:29It has nothing to do with your brother.
01:07:32And what is it?
01:07:34Give me a real reason.
01:07:40I work for merciless people.
01:07:43Okay?
01:07:44If anything was to go sideways...
01:07:47I can't risk getting you hurt.
01:07:52You're leaving me hurts.
01:08:04I'm protecting you.
01:08:06Abandoning me is not protecting.
01:08:10That's not what this is.
01:08:11That's precisely what this is.
01:08:14Why risk your future on a dead end?
01:08:17I don't have a choice.
01:08:19Stay here.
01:08:21Work security.
01:08:22Here.
01:08:30I can't.
01:08:32It's all right.
01:08:35Goodbye, Sora.
01:08:36I love you.
01:08:50I love you too.
01:09:01I love you too.
01:09:01I love you too.
01:09:03I love you too.
01:09:07I love you too.
01:09:20I love you too.
01:09:21I love you too.
01:09:22I love you too.
01:09:23I love you too.
01:09:24I love you too.
01:09:25I love you too.
01:09:26I love you too.
01:09:27I love you too.
01:09:28I love you too.
01:09:29I love you too.
01:09:30I love you too.
01:09:31I know, but Xavier, he can't, he's sick, he wasn't hearing me before, maybe he'll listen to us.
01:10:01I know, but I don't know, but I don't know.
01:10:31He's not breathing, he's not breathing, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, come on man, wake
01:10:51up, come on, I was afraid he might overdose, I had to be prepared.
01:11:01Come on, come on, come on, come on, please, God, please say wake up.
01:11:13Come on, come back to us, man.
01:11:16I'm here, Quincy's here.
01:11:18Come on, get up, come back to us, man, come on, yes, yes, come on.
01:11:24We got you.
01:11:28We got you some help, okay, go.
01:11:31No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:11:34Don't touch me.
01:11:35You got to get up, brother, come on, stop fucking touching me.
01:11:40Xavier, look at me.
01:11:41I love you.
01:11:42You got to go.
01:11:44Yes, real love, it's real.
01:11:49And I know it's hard.
01:11:51No, I don't need help.
01:11:57You're right, he's right.
01:12:01I remember when your parents helped me and I was ashamed, right?
01:12:08But your mom taught me that accepting help is its own kind of strength, man.
01:12:17Can you be strong, mother?
01:12:21I'll let you down.
01:12:25No, no, no.
01:12:27You did the best you could, okay?
01:12:29Our grief, our trauma takes a toll.
01:12:36I'm useless if you don't.
01:12:39I always need you.
01:12:42Let me help you, Zave.
01:12:46I'll make you a deal.
01:12:49You get clean.
01:12:51I promise I'll stop fighting.
01:12:54You're a liar.
01:12:56Are you serious?
01:12:58I've loved you so many years, even if I didn't understand what that meant.
01:13:03Mama said it always needs a sacrifice.
01:13:13Come here, please.
01:13:18I did those myself.
01:13:28I did those myself.
01:13:45Fantastic graduation speech today.
01:13:47Thank you, but you know I'm just getting started, right?
01:13:49Uh-oh.
01:13:50My word?
01:13:51Okay, bring it on then.
01:13:52Come on.
01:13:53All right.
01:13:53May I present Atlanta Athena Business School, summa cum laude.
01:13:58To my parents in heaven, I know you are so proud of this.
01:14:14And to my bestie Savannah, thank you so much for helping me create the Vixen Club business plan.
01:14:23To my brother, my hero, life tried to knock you down, but you got right back up.
01:14:37And to you, you, for never leaving my side.
01:14:46I'm nothing without you.
01:14:48No, stop.
01:14:50You are everything without me.
01:14:53I just want to let you know I love you for you.
01:14:56You know Vixen drives you crazy.
01:14:58Oh, no.
01:14:59Vixen drives me insane.
01:15:01But I hit the jackpot.
01:15:03Lucky for me, I get to love both sides.
01:15:16May I have this dance?
01:15:18I wonder why no one ever stays.
01:15:26How am I supposed to...
