00:00What you mean you took care of it, P?
00:10I gave him $500 for food and gas and I didn't borrow the car.
00:13You did what?
00:15Freddie, we ain't got $500 to be giving away.
00:17What if Darnell wrecked the car?
00:20No, please, sis. Don't come down on me about every damn thing.
00:23Okay.
00:25So let me get this straight.
00:26We could barely keep the lights on in here.
00:30Your girl's out there preparing a coup.
00:32We got our bottom bitch missing with five kilos of coke.
00:35We owe Black $100,000 and if we don't get that shit to him,
00:38he gonna remove every trace of our existence.
00:40But you, you somehow found a way to pay for Darnell to go to fucking space camp.
00:50You put it that way, it does sound crazy, huh?
00:56So what happens next, huh?
00:57How long we gotta babysit Darnell with his little sister?
01:00I don't know, sis. Just let me figure it out. Let me think.
01:03Think?
01:04That's what you're not doing, Freddie. You don't think.
01:07All these impulsive, ego-driven ass decisions, they don't just affect you, they hurt me too.
01:12It's an investment.
01:15It a dumb ass start now.
01:24Dumb ass start now.
01:34Welcome.
01:35Welcome. Come right in. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. And you must be Darnell Freeman.
01:44Yeah. You know me?
01:46Of course. When I started two years ago, I made it my goal to make sure that the program
01:52accepted more minorities every year, regardless of their qualifications.
02:00Where's the other, um...
02:02Blacks.
02:03Yeah.
02:04Believe it or not, you are the only minority to submit an essay this year.
02:13Man, Mr. Williams. All I've ever wanted since I was growing up was to be an astronaut. Thanks for the
02:18hookup.
02:19Mr. Freeman, when you submitted your essay through your school, you do know that they sent over your grades, your
02:27GPA, or other pertinent information?
02:30Yeah. That's why I was surprised that I won.
02:34Again, Mr. Freeman, you didn't win anything. You were selected on the premise of inclusion.
02:43The what of what?
02:45Premise of inclusion.
02:48What's that?
02:49Never mind, Mr. Freeman. You're here.
02:53Go ahead. Everyone find a seat.
03:00Good morning. My name is Trevor Williams.
03:04Good morning, Mr. Williams.
03:06All right. Future astronauts, let's just start with some simple astronaut trivia.
03:12How many astronauts have there been since the creation of NASA?
03:20Look at you.
03:22Well, since we can't have an exact number because it changes daily, about $350,000.
03:29I don't know that.
03:31Give or take a few, but you are correct.
03:34Next question.
03:35What is the average annual salary of an astronaut?
03:42Well, a GS-11 can make up to around $60,000 per year, up to a G-14, which can
03:50make $160,000 per year.
03:53Man, I know from boys on the block that can make that in a couple weeks.
04:01Yeah, so you, uh, you're not going to get rich flying into space.
04:05I have one.
04:07How many black astronauts have there been?
04:12Let's go with you.
04:13Eighteen?
04:14Correct.
04:15I see that some of us are selective with our NASA history.
04:22Yes, Mr. Freeman.
04:25I'm looking around, but you keep calling on everybody else but me.
04:32What's up with that, my brother?
04:34My brother?
04:35Yeah.
04:37You scared I'm going to embarrass us?
04:41Embarrass us?
04:43You'll get your turn, Mr. Freeman.
04:45Man, look.
04:47All I know is I got here just like everybody else.
04:50I want everybody to know I belong here.
04:57Mr. Freeman, there are 350 astronauts.
05:03Eighteen are black.
05:05What percentage is that?
05:10Who has everyone laughing?
05:12Why would you ask him a second grade question?
05:15It is a second grade question.
05:16I agree.
05:17But since Mr. Freeman here insists that he belongs here, he should be able to answer that second grade question
05:27for us.
05:28What's that got anything to do with being an astronaut anyway?
05:30Because, Mr. Freeman, mathematics, engineering, science, technology, it's the basis for being an astronaut.
05:41Here's what I think you can answer, Mr. Freeman.
05:43I mean, what height can't you exceed to be an astronaut?
05:50Five foot eleven inches.
05:55How many centimeters is that, Mr. Freeman?
06:06One hundred and eighteen centimeters.
06:11How many black female astronauts have there been, Mr. Freeman?
06:18Five.
06:19And what percentage is that of eighteen, Mr. Freeman?
06:24Go ahead.
06:25Anyone.
06:26Twenty-eight percent.
06:29What is celerity, Mr. Freeman?
06:39Another word for velocity, which is the swiftness of movement.
06:46Mr. Freeman.
06:49Don't think because you looked up some Google facts that that qualifies you to be in the room.
06:57You were invited here with the hope that when you leave here, you'd be inspired to do something constructive with
07:04your life.
07:07But never, and I mean never, underestimate the struggle it took for me to be here and for the eighteen
07:15others before me.
07:17There is no hookup to NASA, my brother.
07:25So, Mr. Freeman, back to that second-grade question.
07:33What percentage of black astronauts make it?
07:41Nice, thank you.
08:06Your friends are wet.
08:07I know.
08:12I tried, Captain.
08:19Even though my whole life, people have been telling me that she could call the truth.
08:35But a kid don't know that they're dreaming when they aren't dreaming.
08:42But a kid don't know they're dreaming.
08:49How can I be smiling?
08:55What is God?
08:57God gives me.
09:05It's hard on you, Andre.
09:12People are so fucking mean.
09:18You can't trust any of them.
09:23It's like when one fucks you over, there's just another one standing there in line waiting.
09:37God, I guess I'm here to say it's time for me to wake up to the nightmare now.
09:53That's what life really is, right?
10:04I'm so sorry I let you down.
10:11I love you, Andre.
10:38Sign it off, Captain.
10:39I love you, Andre.
10:45I love you, Andre.
11:09I love you, Andre.
11:17I love you, Andre.
11:19I love you, Andre.
11:50I love you, Andre.
12:08I love you, Andre.
12:31How are you?
12:34Fuck!
12:36Oh god.
12:42What's going on? You sound disturbed.
12:54Eric? Eric?
12:56That's a bad one.
12:59What's bad, sweetie? Eric, you're scaring me.
13:02Stop. I'm fine.
13:04Will you relapse again?
13:07No!
13:11I did not.
13:14Okay, calm down. Tell me what happened.
13:21I'm not gonna tell her me.
13:23I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
13:26I'm fine.
13:27I'm fine. I'm just...
13:28I got away for a weekend.
13:31Just, uh...
13:32Sorry, I just went in.
13:37I never touched base.
13:39And, uh...
13:40Tell you I love you.
13:41I love you too, Eric.
13:43Are you sure everything's okay?
13:46Help me!
13:48Fuck them!
13:53Yeah.
13:58Okay.
13:59Everything's fine.
14:04I love you.
14:05I love you too, baby.
14:07All right, thank you.
14:09I love you too.
14:14Thank you, thank you.
14:22Okay.
14:31Thank you, thank you.
14:32Thank you so much, honey.
14:33Thanks, sister.
14:34Who are you?
14:36Nothing?
14:37Okay, brush this line.
15:05I'm not worried yet.
15:07Nothing.
15:10Could you excuse us for a minute?
15:12Oh, yeah, sure.
15:15I like your hair.
15:22We need to leave.
15:24Okay, and go where?
15:26Anywhere. Somewhere black can't find us.
15:28Mars? How are we gonna get there? You got a spaceship too?
15:31We ain't got time to be joking, shud.
15:35What about Alaska?
15:37Okay, so you think you, Mr. Peacock,
15:40can roll into a small town in Alaska with a gaggle of holes over his shoulder,
15:44and ain't nobody gonna notice?
15:46I'm not going out that easy.
15:48Okay, what about my account business?
15:50It was a front to watch the money anyway. We'll start over.
15:53As soon as I register the business name, he gonna find us.
15:56Put the business in somebody else's name.
16:01You thought this through.
16:04What's next?
16:08How much money do we have?
16:10Ten thousand.
16:11Alright, with that and these bitches, that's enough for us to starve somewhere else.
16:16Okay, look, I hate to fool your little plan, but did you ever think that one of these hoes might
16:20go rogue?
16:21Come back here, rat you out, and then blackmail us.
16:26I'm leaving, sis.
16:28You with me or not?
16:34Just tell me.
16:36Love you.
16:37Love you.
16:38Love you.
16:41Love you.
16:48How you holding up, Nala?
16:51I'm fine.
16:54Everybody here looks so happy.
16:57Are you gonna bring my brother in on the work?
17:01That's up to him.
17:03You guys in a bad situation and we go way back.
17:08Do you think that maybe one day...
17:11No.
17:11No, Nala.
17:14You didn't even know what I was gonna say.
17:15I can tell by the look in your eye.
17:18Every girl walks in here has that same look.
17:20You need to keep your head in those books.
17:23This shit ain't what it looks like.
17:30What?
17:31What's this for?
17:31Lunch money.
17:33If you need anything else, you let one of these girls know.
17:37Thanks.
17:44Meeting in one hour.
17:53So, when do you start?
17:56Start what?
17:58Work.
17:59I mean, that's why you're here, right?
18:02Yeah, of course.
18:04Of course that's why I'm here.
18:05I'm new.
18:06I don't know a lot yet.
18:09Well, you're in good hands.
18:12That's what future bottom bitches do.
18:25All right, let's walk next to my mid.
18:28Thanks, Mark.
18:29Four.
18:43pequeño content over the window,
18:52I think you're about to catch a heart attack.
18:55Now Dad don't meet her, I'll say that I'll make my movie.
19:01Jesus Christ, that was coming.
19:04Shit.
19:08It's closing.
19:12Don't answer.
19:13I bet her, okay? He's been really, really jumpy-loaded.
19:18Help, Julia.
19:24I'm with my mom at the hospital. She got sick.
19:30I'm sorry, Flossie.
19:36Fuck, I gotta go.
19:38I'm getting real sick of Flossie and his shit.
19:42Hey, Shantae, just walk away from me.
19:44Oh, that's the plan, ain't it?
19:46Just wait for me.
19:52That was fun.
19:54Yeah.
19:56Oh my God.
20:10Am I interrupting something?
20:12Oh, no, it's just a friend's daughter.
20:15I was talking to her.
20:18But I've got some business to take care of, okay?
20:21We'll talk later, okay?
20:28What was that all about?
20:30Oh, it was just a friend's daughter.
20:33She's having a rough time lately, and she stopped by to see if I had any work for her.
20:37So, uh, what brings you in?
20:40I thought it would surprise you.
20:41I missed you. I wanted to see you.
20:45Tell you what, how about we do dinner later?
20:50I'd be up for that.
20:51Yeah.
20:54Hey, pull me over here.
21:03Jesus, Terrell.
21:04That's a lot of money.
21:07Tell you what.
21:12Why don't you take this and go buy yourself something really nice for dinner tonight, okay?
21:18And then buy yourself something really sexy underneath that for later.
21:26I, uh, I didn't know you had it like that.
21:29I'll see you in a few hours.
21:31I'll see you in a couple hours.
21:40We have a bit of a problem, Darnell.
21:43You're failing again, and due to policy, you can't spend another year here at the high school because of your
21:50age.
21:51So how am I supposed to graduate?
21:54I mean, have you ever thought about a GED?
21:57What?
21:58No.
21:59What am I supposed to do with a GED?
22:02Get a job, like most people do.
22:05Doing what?
22:06You can do hospitality, construction, landscaping.
22:11I mean, there's no reason you can't earn a living.
22:15You mean earn a struggle?
22:18That sounds like a lot of hard labor to me.
22:20There is nothing wrong with a day of hard labor.
22:26I saw my dad working on that stage living in.
22:29When he died, we were poor.
22:35My mom tried to do the same thing, and she couldn't even put food on the table.
22:40We had to go to welfare and Section 8.
22:48I mean, I even tried working it.
22:54I still ended up on the streets.
22:57Darnell, if you're not going to do an honest day, work, what are you going to do then?
23:10Thanks for the help.
23:14Thanks.
23:31What did you do that for?
23:32That's why your ass can't make no money.
23:34You fat.
23:36Cut out all these motherfucking muffins.
23:40News alert.
23:41This morning, police are looking for a doctor and a male nurse.
23:43It's a very important message.
23:44Reports say they caught him to work, and the doctor even reached out to his mother and
23:48then he found the cross.
23:50Their whereabouts are unknown.
23:51Girls, girls, come quick!
23:53What's wrong?
23:54What?
23:55Shut the fuck up.
23:56What?
23:58No, but that's...
23:59Oh my...
23:59Shut up!
24:00Do y'all think she's okay?
24:01What is going on?
24:02Shut up!
24:02Isn't that Dr. Harry?
24:03Shut the fuck up!
24:04The doctor and the nurse have not been seen for almost 10 days, even though they have been heard from.
24:09HR says the doctor called in and said they would have a little rest and relaxation.
24:12After that, the last time they were heard from, Dr. Harry sounded distressed when speaking to his mother.
24:17If anyone has any updates on their whereabouts, please call your local police station.
24:20We'll continue to follow up on this investigation.
24:24Meet me in five minutes.
24:27This shit's getting out of here.
24:28Shit?
24:29Who are you telling me?
24:31Tell me.
24:32She's listening.
24:35What's wrong?
24:36How's it?
24:43Best experience of my life.
24:57I'm done with that.
24:58That shit's not shit.
25:12I'm done with that too.
25:21I don't know, man.
25:24I'll figure it out.
25:27Hey, uh, I gotta go.
25:30I'll call you later.
25:56That's the last shot.
25:58Where's Maria?
25:59What are you keeping from us?
26:02We haven't seen her.
26:04I'm sick of your shit, Oakland.
26:07This is not a democracy.
26:08I don't know where the fuck Maria is.
26:09We know you sent her to pick up a package with Dr. Harry.
26:12And you heard that from who?
26:22What else you got to say, Brenda?
26:28You don't think I want Maria here?
26:32She's part of this family.
26:34Missing doctors.
26:36Maria.
26:37Cocaine.
26:37This shit is bad for business, bossy.
26:39What did you just say?
26:43What you know about the missing doctor, Maria, and cocaine?
26:53You got some shit you need to share, Brenda?
26:55You can share it with everybody.
27:02I overheard Nutty talking to Trish on her cell phone.
27:10You know damn well she did not overhear me talking to Nutty.
27:13She fucking Nutty.
27:15What?
27:17I'll handle it.
27:23Okay.
27:24Now that's out.
27:27Anyone else got something to say that may lead me to where my coke is?
27:30I mean, aren't we going to even acknowledge Maria's missing?
27:35The news doesn't even know that.
27:38It's your rule we don't fuck with drugs.
27:40That's why we all followed you.
27:41Why would you send her for drugs anyway?
27:43Right.
27:44Mother bitch, don't tell me how to run my business.
27:48It was a simple pick-up.
27:50You hoes not earning enough money and we need to supplement our income.
27:56I made a decision.
27:58She was supposed to pick up the drugs and come right back.
28:02Maybe she used them.
28:09Used them?
28:13But Maria was using drugs.
28:16I what?
28:25Before you lie to me, remember your brother.
28:32She told me not to tell you.
28:48Well, there you have it.
28:51The good doctor and Maria done ran off of my drugs.
28:56Anything else?
28:59Any motherfucking secrets?
29:05Ladies, it's on y'all to make this shit right.
29:10One of y'all fuck up, all y'all fuck up.
29:15I can't protect y'all if you keep your secrets and shit.
29:38All right, ladies.
29:40Looks like we need to switch the game up tonight.
29:42Switch the game up?
29:43What'd that mean?
29:45Well, we need to get some cash and we need it quickly.
29:47So tonight, Operation Gaslight.
29:50Gaslight!
29:50You act like you ain't never did that shit.
29:53Okay, shut the fuck up!
29:55Sit the fuck down!
29:59So we'll be back to doing that shit.
30:01And where's Nutty gonna be when these motherfuckers are coming to break our neck?
30:04I ain't seen her in a week.
30:06You always worry about the wrong shit.
30:08Nutty is looking for Maria.
30:10Anybody in here want to end up like Maria?
30:12No.
30:13I didn't fucking think so.
30:14Thank you, Candy.
30:16I'm right there now.
30:18Now, um, plus he got this young man to look after y'all.
30:23Do not give him a hard time.
30:28Okay, let's go!
30:33Get your ass up the stairs, I'm fine.
30:37Trish.
30:39I'm sorry.
30:43We're good, um.
30:45Let me talk to you for a second.
31:04You know I would never do anything to hurt you or Flossie, right?
31:08Right?
31:08Yeah.
31:09I know you wouldn't.
31:10Yeah.
31:10You know I just gotta keep face in front of these girls.
31:13Okay.
31:15So what else can you tell me about Maria?
31:16Yeah.
31:19Um, I don't know anything.
31:21Honestly.
31:23Which honest?
31:26What?
31:27Yeah, you know Maria was using drugs, right?
31:31Yeah.
31:34Well, did you really overhear me talking to Nutty on the phone or was that a lie?
31:39Um, um, Nutty and I are really good friends.
31:42She confided in me.
31:44How good are friends?
31:47Just really good friends, yeah.
31:50You fucking, Nutty?
31:54I asked you a question.
31:57No.
32:01See?
32:02That was a lie.
32:03I don't know where your lie is and where they for gamble, bitch.
32:06I'm gonna find out.
32:07Yeah.
32:08Bitch.
32:09What happened, Maria?
32:12I'm fucking out of here.
32:14I don't know.
32:17I don't know.
32:18I don't know.
32:19I don't know.
32:20I don't know who the fuck you think you are putting me and my brother's life in danger.
32:24Bitch.
32:25But if something happens to you, I will fucking kill you myself.
32:28Bitch.
32:28Ah!
32:36Oh, shit!
32:42Are you fucking Nutty?
32:46Intro to me, bitch!
32:48Yeah.
32:51You better come up double tonight.
32:53Give me one fucking reason.
32:55I swear to God.
32:56I will kill you and my motherfucking self.
33:00You bitch.
33:06Clean yourself up.
33:26That's a bad job.
33:28I get checking us, but this is too far.
33:32Where did we get this?
33:34Wait, no, no.
33:36You're only going to make it worse.
33:38No, I still got it.
33:41No, I still got it.
33:44We need to figure out.
33:46Get the fuck out of here.
33:47And then what? Go somewhere and end up in a worse situation.
33:50You think it could be worse than this?
33:54It's going to be okay.
33:56Stop it.
34:05Next time, tell him you'll give me somebody without a fucked up face.
34:27What is so important?
34:28You got me here right now.
34:31What happened?
34:34Hey.
34:37Hey, hey, hey, hey.
34:43What the fuck?
34:45Is anything broke?
34:47No, I think so.
34:50It's too much.
34:52Even for Flossie.
34:54No, this wasn't Flossie.
34:56This was Trish.
35:03Let's just run away together.
35:06Let's just start over.
35:09I ain't worried about me.
35:12So we both know what happened the last time you tried to run.
35:15Then what are we supposed to do?
35:20I'll talk to Trish.
35:22Talk.
35:24Trish knows about us.
35:26How?
35:27She...
35:30She just kept asking me, were we sleeping together?
35:33And I told her no.
35:35I told her no.
35:37But she just kept beating me.
35:41And beating me.
35:42Until I told her the truth.
35:45Why is this so important to her?
35:53Go ahead of that bitch, okay?
35:57Let's...
35:59Let's just leave.
36:02We're gonna run too, Brenda.
36:04And do what when we get there?
36:07Look at me.
36:09I don't accept people like me in the world.
36:13But I'm supposed to get a job.
36:15Receptionist.
36:17An office job.
36:20It's not me.
36:25Look.
36:26I'm gonna go out to my Trish.
36:30Brian.
36:55What's up?
36:57Plus is inside waiting on us.
36:59You heard anything?
37:00Thought I was the one who chastised these bitches.
37:02You stepping in my lane now.
37:04Okay.
37:04You know damn well that shit you're doing with Brenda is against the rules.
37:06Then talk to me.
37:08You got a problem with what I'm doing, talk to me.
37:10What you gonna do?
37:10You gonna leave her?
37:12Maybe we'll both leave this bullshit.
37:15There you go with your feelings again.
37:17Come on.
37:18I see the way y'all looking at each other.
37:20I saw y'all kissing.
37:22I saw you coming out of her fucking hotel room.
37:25I know when you in love with somebody nutty.
37:29We were there, remember?
37:32So that's what this about.
37:34As I recall her, you was the one who left me.
37:36I said we needed a break.
37:38Okay, I never said it was over.
37:40You know I still got feelings for you.
37:44I'm letting you know now.
37:45After that bullshit.
37:47I'm on my way out.
37:49Threats.
37:50He always threatening me.
37:52I'm gonna tell you this.
37:53You gonna be leaving by your damn self.
37:55Cause I own Brenda.
37:57She's my property.
38:09This ain't the movies.
38:12I will get a shout out from you, Liz.
38:17Floss is waiting on us inside.
38:32Who do you think they are?
38:34I don't know.
38:35I asked every player in every hood.
38:37Ain't nobody seen her.
38:38Even asked all the local dealers if she and a doc tried to cash in on it.
38:41But nothing.
38:44Damn.
38:45Did you check the hospital?
38:46I've worn out my welcome there.
38:49Did you check the house?
38:52Come on, man.
38:54Now you know I know how to hunt a motherfucker down.
38:56He ain't been nowhere.
38:58I even went up to Ohio where his family from.
39:01Talked to his mom. She said he was just trying to some shit.
39:03It's like they just disappeared off the face of the fucking earth.
39:09The amount of money we spent looking for them, it's cost me even more money.
39:12Shit.
39:13Tell me about it.
39:15How we looking, sister?
39:17Not good.
39:18We need to do something quick.
39:20What's next?
39:21I don't know.
39:23I don't know. Just find me.
39:32What's on your mind?
39:35My dad could see me now.
39:38Relax.
39:39You'll be fine.
39:41Just make sure these girls are right.
39:44Make sure you collect from every transaction.
39:49Make sure these girls don't get roughed up.
39:51Oh, and don't be promising these bitches shit.
39:55I ain't got nothing to promise him.
39:58You got feelings, right?
40:01It's all these bitches want anyway.
40:03Somebody to care about them.
40:06I care about Shantae.
40:08She obviously wanted more than that.
40:10Hey man, FYI.
40:13Shantae came into the game easy.
40:16What's that mean?
40:19You only lied to these bitches two times, Darnell.
40:23Once, when they in.
40:25You promising the world.
40:28When the second time?
40:30When they on their way out.
40:32And you haven't delivered it.
40:35Girl said they gaslighted at night.
40:39What's that mean?
40:43Alright, so check it.
40:45The Johns make a deal with the girl.
40:49She never takes the money on why they in the car.
40:52So, which means,
40:53the guys are more likely to walk in with their wallet.
40:58These fools go into the room with the fucking shitload of money in their wallet.
41:05You know I need the money up front, right?
41:07Oh yeah, well I figured you did.
41:14She reveals, she has no money in her pocketbook to the John.
41:18The whole time, you know he got his intentions on two things.
41:21His wallet, and then puts it right in front of him.
41:25And before he stick his dick into heaven, she tells him.
41:29Why don't you go wash up first?
41:32Alright, I'll be right back.
41:35Now he can't believe this shit is happening.
41:38But, she make him wash up.
41:40And the wallet left behind.
41:43Most of the time,
41:44John just got paid a cash check.
41:48There's gonna be quite a bit of money in there.
41:50But don't get greedy.
41:54The John's come out.
41:57Ten minutes later, they bustin' up.
42:00That's it?
42:01No.
42:02That's just the start of the gaslight.
42:05If you're lucky,
42:07he'll walk out without checking his wallet.
42:10What about the ones that remember to check their wallet before they leave?
42:13That's most of them.
42:16I always count on the ones that know how much money in their wallet.
42:20The John immediately knows how much money he had.
42:26And that's when the gaslight started.
42:30Look.
42:32She's safe.
42:33Why would I take your money if I was going to take some of it?
42:37So look, he started questioning himself.
42:39He think he crazy.
42:42She offers him her wallet.
42:43That's all I have is the money that you may see.
42:46That's all I have is the money that you may see.
42:46She offer everything in the room.
42:49He look under the mattress.
42:52The lamp.
42:54Her clothes, shoes.
42:56But the one place a nigga never look is inside that Bible.
43:02And he never knows she took the money.
43:08He always thinks, maybe I'm wrong.
43:11Just enough to gaslight a motherfucker.
43:16Wow.
43:19That's smart.
43:22Nope.
43:24That's the game.
43:26Yeah.
43:27Yeah.
43:28Mhm.
