00:02:51I don't know.
00:03:39I don't know.
00:04:01I don't know.
00:04:35I don't know.
00:04:39I don't know.
00:04:59Let me ask you a question, and don't lie, that man never buy you flowers for no reason.
00:05:08Right, but yet you cooking, you cleaning, yet swallowing your pride, you keep the housemen like vanilla and Jesus, and
00:05:16for what?
00:05:17He's just stressed.
00:05:19Oh girl, please, he's always just stressed.
00:05:21Meanwhile, his assistants walking through the office in stilettos and lip gloss, kiki-ing in all his corny ass jokes.
00:05:30You don't even gotta say nothing, cause I already know.
00:05:48Look, I get it, okay?
00:05:50You wanna be the good one, the wife, the ride or die, but baby, when you die in that ride,
00:05:59ain't nobody coming to save you.
00:06:00And me, oh.
00:06:02I need this money, so I'm not about to let no man waste my time.
00:06:10You ever wonder what would happen if you just, let's see, stopped being so damn loyal?
00:06:16Tasha, I'm not like you.
00:06:18Oh, I know.
00:06:19And that's the problem.
00:06:22You think being invisible is the same thing as being safe.
00:06:27Uh-uh.
00:06:29Let me tell you something.
00:06:30When a man doesn't see you, that's when he does the most dirt.
00:06:37Well, when I leave here today, I'm getting my hair done.
00:06:40Oh, okay.
00:06:41And I am sure he'll notice me then.
00:06:46I'm sorry.
00:06:48What?
00:06:50Notice you?
00:06:52Girl, you can walk in the house butt booty naked with your head on fire, and he still would not
00:06:57look up from his phone.
00:06:59I'm sorry, cousin, but if you think that a flat iron is going to fix what's broken in your marriage,
00:07:05it's already over, sweetie.
00:07:10Mm, mm, mm, mm.
00:07:13So you give everything to a man who sees you as furniture.
00:07:17I would never understand.
00:07:19I just don't get it.
00:07:21I don't know.
00:07:22Must be nice.
00:07:24Mm.
00:07:26Must be nice.
00:07:28Notice you.
00:07:35Hey, baby.
00:07:36I'm back.
00:07:38Hey.
00:07:43Do you know where the Tylenol is?
00:07:45Your head is killing me.
00:07:48It's over there in the drawer, where it always is.
00:08:03Long day?
00:08:06Just handling some things.
00:08:10I was thinking about ordering some takeout.
00:08:15We can try that new tie spot.
00:08:16What the hell did you do to your hair?
00:08:19I...
00:08:20I...
00:08:20I just got it done.
00:08:22Thought I'd try something different.
00:08:34So who you trying to look like now?
00:08:36Your cousin?
00:08:37It's just braids, John.
00:08:38It's just ugly.
00:08:40And you look cheap.
00:08:41You don't have to be...
00:08:43Take them out.
00:08:44They took hours.
00:08:46Oh, really?
00:08:47They took hours?
00:08:51I don't give a damn if it took all week.
00:08:54Take them out now.
00:09:18I gotta save this one.
00:09:21She is fine.
00:09:33You missed a complies review today.
00:09:35It was optional.
00:09:37Well, associates.
00:09:39You're not one.
00:09:41Why do I feel like you only drop by when you think I've stepped out of line?
00:09:46Do you think that?
00:09:48No.
00:09:49But I know the look.
00:09:51That's your audit face.
00:09:57So you're entertaining during office hours now?
00:10:01Gotta make the new hires feel welcome, right?
00:10:04I mean, we're not savages, are we?
00:10:08Here's the second quarter compliance review.
00:10:10Don't skim it.
00:10:11I need your initials on every page.
00:10:26This looks new.
00:10:28It's been there.
00:10:30You just haven't noticed.
00:10:33Is that so?
00:10:44Let me be clear.
00:10:46I don't need your approval.
00:10:48I just expect your discretion.
00:10:56Discretion.
00:10:57Discretion?
00:10:58That sounds like-
00:10:59Exactly what it sounds like.
00:11:03You good at cleaning up?
00:11:07Immaculate.
00:11:09Even blood?
00:11:12Especially blood.
00:11:17I'm like your desk man.
00:11:21Meet him Prince.
00:11:23I'm like your desk man.
00:11:41Put he in the other.
00:11:44I'm like your desk man.
00:11:47When he calls himself a job.
00:11:47I wonder how he's going to get in the straight?
00:11:51I see how he's being prone.
00:11:51He's nothing!
00:12:04I see now
00:13:45No, that's not what I said.
00:13:48Uh, yes.
00:13:50Just make sure the paperwork is on my desk.
00:13:52I don't want to hear his mouth today.
00:13:54Okay.
00:13:55Okay.
00:13:58You heading out already?
00:14:00What does it look like?
00:14:08You should do the blue.
00:14:11The blue?
00:14:13Yeah, no.
00:14:16Do the yellow.
00:14:21Oh, that's Tasha.
00:14:23Of course it is.
00:14:26Well damn, I didn't know I needed to make an appointment to come visit family.
00:14:30Gosh.
00:14:30You don't need an appointment.
00:14:32You need boundaries.
00:14:36Oh, okay.
00:14:38Okay, I see you finally learned that word, huh?
00:14:41Good for you.
00:14:43Funny.
00:14:44Whose husband are you sleeping with this week?
00:14:46Jamal, please.
00:14:47She is just stopping by.
00:14:49She is always just stopping by.
00:14:52Somebody needs to tell her she doesn't live here.
00:14:54Don't you worry, because see, if I did, oh, you would for damn sure notice me, nigga.
00:15:04We'll talk later.
00:15:08And you, try not to ruin her day for once.
00:15:17I can't stand him.
00:15:19Do he always got to make an exit like he in a damn movie or something?
00:15:23That man hates me.
00:15:25And you know why?
00:15:25Because I can see straight through his ass.
00:15:27Well, you don't help either.
00:15:28I mean, you could be a little nicer.
00:15:32Mia, please.
00:15:33Okay?
00:15:33Because if I was any nicer, he would think that I liked him.
00:15:36And I would rather drown in bleach.
00:15:37You know, a few days ago, he did mention wanting me to throw a celebration.
00:15:42Who?
00:15:43Him?
00:15:45Mia.
00:15:47Girl, you better not be out here catering to your captor.
00:15:51You gonna bake, decorate, and still get ignored.
00:15:55That man don't want no wife.
00:15:56He wants free PR-er.
00:16:00I don't know, cousin.
00:16:01You better start figuring out this game, for real.
00:16:04I keep trying to tell you, you don't get a trophy for suffering in silence.
00:16:08Well, this ain't a game to me.
00:16:12Then why you losing?
00:16:15You know what your problem is?
00:16:18You're too damn loyal.
00:16:20Okay?
00:16:21You treat love like a church.
00:16:23And Jamal like he's God.
00:16:25I just want peace.
00:16:27Then stop praying to men who profit off of your silence.
00:16:31Girl.
00:16:39So you really think everything is, what, just a transaction?
00:16:44Yeah.
00:16:45Everything is just a transaction, Mia.
00:16:47You give, they take.
00:16:49Simple.
00:16:50Oh, and if you're lucky, you'll get a receipt.
00:16:55I'm not like you.
00:16:57But you can be.
00:16:58And you will be.
00:17:00Or, you'll drown trying to prove that you're different.
00:17:04I keep trying to tell you, you better learn from me.
00:17:06I'm giving you some nuggets.
00:17:07Um, how long has fruit been out?
00:17:09I just took it out.
00:17:10I don't know.
00:17:12That's pretty good, though.
00:17:18Hey.
00:17:20Hey, so are you, like, sickening convenience?
00:17:23Second in title.
00:17:24First to action.
00:17:26You trouble, huh?
00:17:28Depends on which door you open up.
00:17:32But, um, if you ever need somebody to walk you through company policies, I got time.
00:17:39Well, aren't you, like, married?
00:17:41I got pockets, too, don't I?
00:17:43Let me put you in one of them.
00:17:48You're wrong for that.
00:17:51You free for lunch today?
00:17:55I mean...
00:18:02Anything okay?
00:18:04Better now.
00:18:05Lunch today.
00:18:06You and me.
00:18:08Alright.
00:18:30You eat?
00:18:32Yeah, we grabbed something at the office.
00:18:35We?
00:18:36Me and some of the team.
00:18:39New girl needed help with her access badges and stuff.
00:18:43You see any of my messages?
00:18:47Eventually.
00:18:48But you didn't answer.
00:18:50Mia, I was working.
00:18:54Working?
00:18:55Or entertaining?
00:18:58Okay.
00:18:59Here we go.
00:19:00Oh, yes.
00:19:01Here we go.
00:19:02You think I don't hear things?
00:19:05People talk, Jamal.
00:19:07Even the ones that smile in your face.
00:19:11You out there acting like you're single.
00:19:13No.
00:19:15So now I can't be nice to people.
00:19:18Nice or thirsty.
00:19:24Let me explain something to you.
00:19:27Just because you're miserable, don't mean I gotta be.
00:19:30You got the house, the bills paid, and your name on the mortgage.
00:19:35Yet every week you find something new to cry about.
00:19:40Because you treat me like I am invisible.
00:19:43No.
00:19:46I treat you like a woman who's forgotten her place.
00:19:49And what is my place, Jamal?
00:19:52To support.
00:19:54Not interrogate.
00:19:57So, so I'm just supposed to what?
00:19:59Stay home, cook you meals, you don't eat, text you shit, you never answer?
00:20:05And what, smile while you, you play Mr. Man, Mr. Big Shot to every woman at that office?
00:20:11Mia, don't act brand new.
00:20:13You knew who I was when you married me.
00:20:15No.
00:20:16I thought I did.
00:20:21Let me make something crystal clear for you.
00:20:25I don't owe you explanations.
00:20:28I owe you provision, protection.
00:20:32You getting that?
00:20:35Then stay in your lane.
00:20:38You know what my mother once told me?
00:20:42That no matter how much money a man got, if he don't make space for you, you don't exist to
00:20:50him.
00:20:51Yeah.
00:20:52Well maybe you should ask your mother for some more advice.
00:20:56That's right.
00:20:57She's dead.
00:21:02One day, you are gonna come home and realize everything you took for granted, packed up and left your ass.
00:21:12One day.
00:21:14Hopefully.
00:21:15But unfortunately, not today.
00:21:29What's going on?
00:21:32I figured since I can't make it to your birthday party tomorrow, I figured we'd raise a glass early.
00:21:39A glass?
00:21:40Man, I told you I canceled that damn party.
00:21:44No point in celebrating just because I survived another year.
00:21:47I mean, it's still a milestone, Jamal.
00:21:50I mean, even if you do show up mad.
00:21:58To surviving what was meant to kill us.
00:22:02To snakes that smile before they strike.
00:22:07Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:22:14Who got a West Coast client?
00:22:17Hello?
00:22:19Hello?
00:22:22Here.
00:22:24Okay.
00:22:28Uh-huh.
00:22:30Alright, well thank you.
00:22:32Where were we, man?
00:22:35My toast.
00:22:40You good?
00:22:41I'm better than good.
00:22:45To making our enemies nervous.
00:22:49And to keeping them guessing.
00:23:02It's that good stuff.
00:23:03Mm-hmm.
00:23:06Man, you ain't slick.
00:23:08You thought I wasn't gonna peep that weak ass setup?
00:23:11Did I?
00:23:13Man, you gotta stop playing with me like I'm dumb, man.
00:23:22What the?
00:23:27What the hell?
00:23:30You not dumb, Jamal.
00:23:33You...
00:23:33Just predictable.
00:23:35You...
00:23:36You knew?
00:23:38You've been switching glasses since I met you.
00:23:41You always thought that made you smarter.
00:23:46But all I had to do was wait.
00:24:12You got a little better...
00:24:14No.
00:24:15No, no, no.
00:24:17No.
00:24:19No.
00:24:21No.
00:24:33No.
00:24:37And you never brought her around.
00:24:40It's like you were hiding her from us.
00:24:43Shame on you.
00:25:16I need you to come to me now.
00:25:20I'll send you the address.
00:25:42What the hell is this?
00:25:49Keep your voice down.
00:25:52You called me over here in a rush,
00:25:54but you didn't tell me that you caught a body?
00:25:57Oh.
00:26:00Oh, shit.
00:26:05That's Jamal.
00:26:08You killed Jamal.
00:26:11You know him?
00:26:12Oh, God.
00:26:13That is my cousin's husband.
00:26:15OK, so?
00:26:17OK, so?
00:26:19That's family.
00:26:20What do you mean?
00:26:21I didn't even know he was married.
00:26:24Jamal never brought her around here.
00:26:26Well, that's probably because he's screwing
00:26:28all these thirsty paralegals you call staff.
00:26:31Gosh.
00:26:36Who do you think you're talking to?
00:26:40I'm just saying, Eve.
00:26:42You killed Mia's man.
00:26:44Now what am I supposed to do?
00:26:46What am I supposed to tell her?
00:26:47Nothing.
00:26:49Look, he stole from me, Tasha.
00:26:52The bag I told you I dropped at the office,
00:26:54he waited, watched, and took you.
00:26:58He was going to expose everything.
00:27:00OK, but did you have to kill him?
00:27:02Did you?
00:27:04I said he was going to expose everything.
00:27:07And you know I can't have that.
00:27:09OK, so what are we going to do, huh?
00:27:11Where's the money now?
00:27:13I don't know.
00:27:14Gone.
00:27:15Wherever he stashed it.
00:27:19This is crazy.
00:27:25You know what?
00:27:27I bet his wife knows.
00:27:29What?
00:27:30No, hell no.
00:27:32Not Mia.
00:27:33Nah.
00:27:33Don't be stupid.
00:27:34You never know.
00:27:36And you know I can't let her take it.
00:27:38OK, so what is it that you want me to do, Eve?
00:27:40Act like I just don't know nothing?
00:27:43Exactly.
00:27:44Set her ass up.
00:27:46You get that bag back for me, I'll give you 10%.
00:27:56Hold up, hold up.
00:28:00You killed my cousin's husband,
00:28:02and now you want me to betray her for 10%?
00:28:06You're stealing dead right.
00:28:14Make it 30.
00:28:1620.
00:28:1725.
00:28:2325.
00:28:24Mm-hmm.
00:28:26But if I even sent you, Eve.
00:28:28I will never cross you, Eve.
00:28:30Look, I'll play the lawyer you cousin, OK?
00:28:33I'll even cry real tears if I have to.
00:28:36She won't even see you come in.
00:28:39Oh, shit.
00:28:51You know I got you, right?
00:28:55I know.
00:28:57That's why I got you.
00:29:10Okay.
00:29:23Man.
00:32:00Small world.
00:32:03Do I know you?
00:32:04You don't remember me.
00:32:06Should I?
00:32:10No.
00:32:12But you look like you're someone that needed a reason to smile.
00:32:18Mind if I sit?
00:32:20Suit yourself.
00:32:31You ever notice how some people carry heartbreak like it's a fashion choice?
00:32:36What do you mean?
00:32:38I mean just looks like you're trying your best to not let your world fall apart.
00:32:45You always talk like this to strangers?
00:32:48Only to those that matter.
00:32:50What are you, a therapist or something?
00:32:55I'm a lawyer.
00:32:57Like courtrooms and suits?
00:32:59Nah, I'm like the type that keeps other people's money out of the courtrooms.
00:33:03That explains it.
00:33:05Explains what?
00:33:07My husband was a lawyer.
00:33:10Hmm.
00:33:11You said he was.
00:33:12Yeah, but he passed.
00:33:18I'm sorry to hear that.
00:33:21No you're not.
00:33:23All lawyers are arrogant so stop.
00:33:31You ever get tired of pretending to be okay?
00:33:35Do you ever get tired of acting like you give a damn?
00:33:40My bad.
00:33:42You got a name?
00:33:44Depends on who's asking.
00:33:47I'm asking.
00:33:50Mia.
00:33:51Mia.
00:33:53Italian.
00:33:54For mine.
00:33:56Sure.
00:34:00Well, if you ever get tired of being invisible, Mia, call me.
00:34:11You always carry these around?
00:34:14Only for people that matter.
00:34:16I didn't say I'd call.
00:34:18I didn't say you had to.
00:34:21But if you do, call me from a quiet place.
00:34:30Bye Mia.

00:35:00I benefit? Can I
00:35:00run? If you
00:35:20Just stop thinking.
00:35:58Just stop thinking.
00:36:26You would say I was moving on too fast.
00:36:33I just want to feel something again.
00:36:53What the heck is going to hurt?
00:37:02You said stop thinking.
00:37:05So stop.
00:37:06You said stop thinking.
00:37:31So stop thinking.
00:37:40Hey.
00:37:42Just checking in.
00:37:44I hope your day went good.
00:38:08They think you'd hit the end.
00:38:10Well, I didn't plan on it.
00:38:14Plans change.
00:38:16Only when somebody messes with them.
00:38:18Oh.
00:38:20Alright.
00:38:20Get some somebody now.
00:38:22Don't get ahead of yourself.
00:38:23It was just a text.
00:38:26I mean, you picked the phone up this time though.
00:38:29Well, you caught me off guard.
00:38:32So that's all.
00:38:35Good.
00:38:36People tend to show you the truth when they don't have time to hide it.
00:38:40Do you always talk like that?
00:38:42Like what?
00:38:43Like you rehearsed it.
00:38:46No, I just say what I mean.
00:38:49Well, that's rare these days.
00:38:53I'm gonna tell you what.
00:38:54Keep me around.
00:38:56Let's see how rare it gets.
00:38:59You got confidence.
00:39:01I will give you that.
00:39:04Confidence.
00:39:06Confidence keeps the world from tearing you apart.
00:39:09You sound like somebody who's been chewed up once or twice.
00:39:16Maybe.
00:39:18But I'm still standing though.
00:39:23I should go.
00:39:26I hear you.
00:39:27But you ain't hang up yet.
00:39:31You don't quit, do you?
00:39:34Only when I stop hearing that smile in your voice.
00:39:43I should get some rest.
00:39:48Early morning.
00:39:51Alright.
00:39:52Well, I'll let you go.
00:39:54Hey, think about me.
00:39:56Don't push it.
00:40:00Alright.
00:40:02Night.
00:40:04Night, Mia.
00:40:20You keep looking around like we're being watched.
00:40:24Sorry.
00:40:26I'm not used to this.
00:40:30Used to what?
00:40:32I guess someone paying attention with no motive.
00:40:39Who says I don't have a motive?
00:40:44I like talking to you.
00:40:45That's my motive.
00:40:50This feels weird.
00:40:52Or it feels right.
00:40:54You just don't know what to do with it.
00:40:57You remind me of...
00:41:01Who?
00:41:04No one I've ever dated.
00:41:06Good.
00:41:07Because you deserve the best, baby.
00:41:11I haven't heard that laugh before.
00:41:15Neither have I.
00:41:22I should go.
00:41:26You don't want this to end.
00:41:28Neither do I.
00:41:34Walk with me.
00:41:36Well?
00:41:49You want something to drink?
00:41:51No, I'm good.
00:41:55These all his?
00:41:57Yeah.
00:42:08You sure you're ready for company?
00:42:10You're not company.
00:42:14You ever wish you could just tear it up and start all over?
00:42:19If it was that easy, I would have been did it.
00:42:22Yeah, me too.
00:42:26You ever been married before?
00:42:29Nope.
00:42:31You ever plan on getting married again?
00:42:34In my mind, I'm still married.
00:42:38I'm not judging.
00:42:40I'm not judging.
00:42:40I promise.
00:42:42I know.
00:42:43That's what's scary.
00:42:46If this feels awful, I can go.
00:42:50I want you to stay.
00:42:53And I just don't know why.
00:42:58You don't have to prove it.
00:42:59You want to see something?
00:43:00All out right now.
00:43:03Sure.
00:43:17That's him?
00:43:19Yep.
00:43:21The best and worst of me.
00:43:34Are you sure you don't want anything to drink?
00:43:36You know what?
00:43:38I would love to drink.
00:43:56You want something?
00:43:58No.
00:43:59I thought it was a salt spider.
00:44:02No.
00:44:03I would love to drink.
00:44:05Yeah.
00:44:07No.
00:44:08No.
00:44:15No.
00:44:21No.
00:44:24No.
00:44:24No.
00:44:25No.
00:44:28No.
00:44:30No.
00:44:30hanging, one sleeping, like you just turned away, dust on the shoes you kept for sundays,
00:44:45guess something stayed, even when you couldn't, found your reign in the back of the door still warming my head,
00:44:58next year, what do you do, you lied about everything, everyone except the way you said my name hey, did
00:45:17you forget something, maybe, look I just couldn't stop thinking about you, since I walked out,
00:45:27and I wanted to spend more time with you, we've already been spending a lot of time together, how much
00:45:34time do you need, as much as I can get,
00:45:52so look, I know I'm not him, which is, feels like you are though, and honestly, maybe that's what scares
00:46:05me,
00:46:08tell me what you need from me, in this moment, right now, I just want to stop feeling guilty,
00:46:17Hey, hey, then don't fight him, I can't, go home, Evan, please, let's go and go, go and go back,
00:47:06I didn't think you would show up.
00:47:07You texted three times.
00:47:10You showed up.
00:47:11So, I'm winning.
00:47:16How'd you know?
00:47:18I pay attention.
00:47:22So tell me about him.
00:47:24Tell you about who?
00:47:26Your husband.
00:47:28The one you talk to when the house gets quiet.
00:47:32What do you want from me, Evan?
00:47:35Maybe just the truth.
00:47:37You wouldn't know what to do with it.
00:47:39Try me.
00:47:42You really think you see me.
00:47:44You don't.
00:47:46Then tell me what I'm missing.
00:47:48You're not good for me.
00:47:52Maybe that's the point.
00:47:56You sound like every man who's ever wanted something he can't keep.
00:48:03Maybe I don't want to keep it.
00:48:05Maybe I want it just for the moment.
00:48:08Before it's gone.
00:48:10You should stop talking like that.
00:48:14Because I might start believing you.
00:48:16Because I might start believing you.
00:48:34He just, he smiled at me.
00:48:38Like he knew me.
00:48:39Like he already had me figured out.
00:48:42And then, when I walked out, he didn't even come after me.
00:48:51Girl.
00:48:53You are so damn Germanic.
00:48:55And you making me dizzy with all this back and forth.
00:48:58Listen.
00:48:59Maybe the man was just being respectful.
00:49:02You know, like letting you breathe.
00:49:06No.
00:49:06It was a game.
00:49:08The way he looked at me.
00:49:11It was like he was waiting for something.
00:49:21You are thinking way too much into this.
00:49:24I know that this man must be beautiful as hell.
00:49:28Okay.
00:49:29He has a job.
00:49:30He ain't asking you for no money.
00:49:32And he's clearly into you.
00:49:35I don't know.
00:49:37Something feels off.
00:49:42Something feels off.
00:49:44Right.
00:49:45Okay.
00:49:45Wow.
00:49:46Alright.
00:49:46Let me ask you something.
00:49:48Did something feel off when Jamal was around?
00:49:50Don't.
00:49:51Don't bring him into this.
00:49:52I'm just saying.
00:49:53I'm just saying.
00:49:55Everybody is not out to hurt you, Mia.
00:49:57Maybe this guy is a good one.
00:50:01Maybe.
00:50:02Just maybe.
00:50:05He said something.
00:50:08Something Jamal used to say.
00:50:10And I think it just messed with my head.
00:50:17Cousin.
00:50:21Come in.
00:50:23Give me your hands.
00:50:27Maybe that was a sign.
00:50:29Oh.
00:50:29Maybe.
00:50:30Maybe not.
00:50:31I'm just saying.
00:50:31Maybe not.
00:50:32And you know everybody in this city.
00:50:34You've never heard of an Evan.
00:50:36Evan Harris?
00:50:37No.
00:50:38I've never heard of an Evan.
00:50:39Evan.
00:50:40Whatever his name is.
00:50:41No.
00:50:41Not before today.
00:50:42But.
00:50:43If you ask me.
00:50:46I say.
00:50:47Give him a call.
00:50:48You should.
00:50:50Call the man.
00:50:52You would say that.
00:50:55You expecting somebody?
00:50:57I wasn't.
00:50:58Hold on.
00:51:00Hold on.
00:51:07I was just in the neighborhood and wanted to come by and check on you.
00:51:11Oh really?
00:51:13So you couldn't call or text me first?
00:51:17How did you even know I was going to be home?
00:51:19That's a lucky guess.
00:51:21That's not how lucky works.
00:51:24Mia.
00:51:25Who is it?
00:51:26Oh.
00:51:27I didn't know you had.
00:51:29Hi.
00:51:29I'm Tasha.
00:51:31Our cousin.
00:51:32This is the guy I was telling you about from the coffee shop.
00:51:35Oh.
00:51:36Okay.
00:51:36Nice to meet you, Tasha.
00:51:38You too?
00:51:44Have y'all two met before?
00:51:47No.
00:51:48No.
00:51:48It's just deja vu, I guess.
00:51:53Well, you mind if I come in?
00:51:54I do.
00:51:55Actually.
00:51:56Mia.
00:51:56Chill out.
00:51:57Let that man in.
00:52:00Okay.
00:52:01Why's you acting like that?
00:52:02You just told me 20 minutes ago that I was overthinking.
00:52:05And you are.
00:52:06That's the problem.
00:52:07Girl, you always think of somebody lying.
00:52:09Let the man in, y'all.
00:52:11Sit down and talk.
00:52:12You might like what he has to say.
00:52:15Yeah.
00:52:17You might like what I got to say.
00:52:22Come in.
00:52:31I know you're guarding.
00:52:33You should be.
00:52:35But I promise you, I wasn't trying to run game.
00:52:37Then what were you trying to do?
00:52:43I was trying to get to know you.
00:52:45I saw something near you, and I wanted to see more.
00:52:51Oh, that is so cute.
00:52:53I'm sorry.
00:52:54I'm sorry.
00:52:55Look, we don't hear that kind of talk around here.
00:52:57Everybody get what they want, and then they're gone.
00:52:59Boop.
00:52:59So, just saying.
00:53:01Well, not me.
00:53:01You got kids?
00:53:03No.
00:53:04A girlfriend?
00:53:05If I did, I wouldn't be here.
00:53:08Honest and single.
00:53:10I like him.
00:53:12Sounds like the perfect resume.
00:53:17Mia.
00:53:20Let it go.
00:53:22Jamal is gone, okay?
00:53:24You still waking up crying over a man who didn't even care about you.
00:53:28Maybe this is your reset.
00:53:33Jamal wasn't perfect, but...
00:53:36Oh, my God.
00:53:38Stop.
00:53:39Stop.
00:53:40Do not rewrite history, because this man is dead.
00:53:43Chill out.
00:53:50Evan, why are you really here?
00:53:55To be honest, I couldn't stop thinking about you.
00:54:02And I knew if I didn't come down, then I just talked myself out of it.
00:54:09That is sexy as hell.
00:54:11Girl, you better keep her.
00:54:15I've never seen you be this nice to someone before.
00:54:18Are you sure you haven't met him before?
00:54:21Mia, no.
00:54:23I have not met him.
00:54:24You asked me that already.
00:54:25But if I did, I would have kept him for myself.
00:54:32How about you go get the man something to drink?
00:54:36Would you like something to drink?
00:54:39Yeah, I don't want to be fine.
00:54:50Keep playing your part.
00:54:53I always do.
00:54:58Oh, thank you.
00:54:59Girl, look, this one here?
00:55:02Now, if he start acting up, I'm going to beat his ass myself.
00:55:05No.
00:55:08Oh, man.
00:55:09Mm-hmm.
00:55:10Mm-hmm.
00:55:58Just thought I'd make up for showing up on Inviter yesterday.
00:56:03And you always carry flowers in your car?
00:56:07Only when it feels worth it.
00:56:09You really don't quit, do you?
00:56:13Wouldn't know how.
00:56:16Come in.
00:56:37Still feel like his house?
00:56:42Because it is.
00:56:43My bad.
00:56:46Look, I don't want to step on your ghost or anything.
00:56:49I just wanted to come by and see how you were doing.
00:56:53You don't know what you're walking into.
00:56:56Maybe that's why I'm here.
00:56:58Because I want to know.
00:57:00Here we go.
00:57:02It's the truth.
00:57:04What else do you do, Evan?
00:57:07Besides flirt?
00:57:09I mean, real estate, some legal consulting.
00:57:13You know, just enough to get by.
00:57:15I thought you practiced law.
00:57:17I practiced a lot of things.
00:57:19Do you ever give a straight answer?
00:57:22Mm-hmm.
00:57:24Depends on who's asking.
00:57:26Cute.
00:57:32Let me, um, let me take you out.
00:57:35Take you to dinner.
00:57:39I'll think about it.
00:57:41Better than a no.
00:57:43I'll let you know where.
00:57:45I said I would think about it.
00:57:52I'll let myself out.
00:58:23We don't care how long you've been finessing paperwork.
00:58:27You owe 400 racks.
00:58:29Pay, or we will make your girl pay.
00:58:50Hey, hold all calls for the rest of the day.
00:58:54Fuck.
00:59:07Get it.
00:59:10What up?
00:59:17What up?
00:59:26What's up?
00:59:28I don't know.
00:59:29It was good.
00:59:29I don't know.
00:59:31I know.
00:59:33I want to go.
00:59:34I can't get it.
00:59:35Yeah, what is it?
00:59:35What?
00:59:37You still playing house with the widow, or what?
00:59:41Everything's good.
00:59:43She's warming up.
00:59:44Taking her out tonight.
00:59:46Ow.
00:59:48Well, don't wait too long.
00:59:49Word is people poking around again,
00:59:52and you know what people I'm talking about.
00:59:55You let me handle that.
00:59:57You just be where I tell you what I tell you.
00:59:59Whatever you say, ghost.
01:00:11What the fuck?
01:00:15What the hell am I talking about?
01:00:23Yeah.
01:00:26Look, I'm going to get your money.
01:00:28Yeah, I got most of it right now.
01:00:34Listen, I'm going to get your money.
01:00:36Look.
01:00:38Look.
01:00:52Wow.
01:00:53You really went all out.
01:00:56You trying to impress me or something?
01:00:58It's just dinner.
01:01:00Don't read too deep.
01:01:03Men who say that usually mean the opposite.
01:01:08Well, hey, we'll call it dinner.
01:01:10With intentions.
01:01:16Uh-huh.
01:01:18All right.
01:01:19Mm-hmm.
01:01:20This is actually really good.
01:01:22I told you.
01:01:23See, I told you.
01:01:24Hmm.
01:01:25You cook like somebody raised you, right?
01:01:27Yeah, I had a mama who didn't play about seasonings.
01:01:31You know, you don't talk like any lawyer I've ever met.
01:01:38That's the point.
01:01:45I guess we all have things we walked away from.
01:01:50Yeah.
01:01:52And some we can't escape.
01:01:53Okay.
01:01:54All right.
01:01:54All right.
01:01:58All right.
01:01:58All right.

01:05:04Hello?
01:05:05Hello?
01:05:07Fuck!
01:05:10Hey, everything all right?
01:05:11Yeah.
01:05:13Good, good, good.
01:05:14Want to sit and have another drink?
01:05:15No, no.
01:05:16Dinner was great.
01:05:17You did amazing.
01:05:18Well, I appreciate that.
01:05:20Most men talk about doing right.
01:05:23You actually did it.
01:05:24Well, I mean, you know, you deserve that much.
01:05:27Well, it's getting late.
01:05:30I should head home.
01:05:32You sure?
01:05:33Yeah.
01:05:34Well, at least let me walk you through.
01:05:35No, no.
01:05:36That's okay.
01:05:38All right, then.
01:05:41Good night, Evan.
01:05:44Good night, Mia.
01:05:46Good night, Mia.
01:06:11Looks like somebody had a long night that I've been somewhere I probably shouldn't glow.
01:06:17Well, good morning, Mia.
01:06:19Uh-uh, no.
01:06:20Don't good morning, me.
01:06:21Shoot.
01:06:22Call your butt twice last night and you ain't answer.
01:06:25Sent me to the voicemail.
01:06:26What happened to you?
01:06:27I was out.
01:06:29Out?
01:06:30Out where?
01:06:33Evan's house.
01:06:35Oh.
01:06:38Okay, so now we doing dinner dates at strange men's houses, huh?
01:06:43Girl, you moving fast.
01:06:45I like it.
01:06:47It wasn't like that.
01:06:49We talked.
01:06:51We ate.
01:06:52And that was all.
01:06:54Yeah, that was all.
01:06:55Yeah, that's what they all say, right?
01:06:56Before they start leaving earrings on nightstands.
01:07:00It was actually kind of cute.
01:07:02He cooked.
01:07:04And he listened.
01:07:06I did not expect that.
01:07:09He listened.
01:07:11You know that's what they all do, right?
01:07:13The first few days, they listen.
01:07:14That's how they collect data.
01:07:16But, hey.
01:07:18You deserve to have a man pretend to listen.
01:07:21You ain't like Jamal.
01:07:22Heard a damn thing you said.
01:07:23That's real love.
01:07:24Okay, okay.
01:07:25I'm sorry.
01:07:26That didn't come out right.
01:07:27But, listen.
01:07:29Don't overthink this, Mamiya.
01:07:31Okay, let that man chase you.
01:07:33Let him spend that money.
01:07:35That manyan.
01:07:37No, but seriously.
01:07:39Let him treat you like a prize for once in your life.
01:07:42Please.
01:07:43You really think he's that into me?
01:07:45Yeah, girl.
01:07:46He's into you.
01:07:47But the question is, what are you going to do with that?
01:07:50You see the way I see it?
01:07:52You got two options.
01:07:53One, you can keep crying and mourning over this one.
01:07:56That's no longer with us.
01:07:58Or two.
01:07:59You can open your eyes and see the one that's knocking at your door now.
01:08:02And if he acts up.
01:08:04Oh, you already know the code.
01:08:06Pineapple.
01:08:07Pineapple.
01:08:07Good girl.
01:08:10Well, I got to get out of here.
01:08:13I got to date myself.
01:08:15I just came into a wellness check.
01:08:18Your behind wasn't answering the phone.
01:08:20Oh.
01:08:23And if he invites you over again.
01:08:25Well read.
01:08:27Men like Edmund, they don't fall in love.
01:08:30They get obsessed.
01:08:32Love you.
01:08:33Bye.
01:08:54Makeup on the counter.
01:08:56Dress still on the chair.
01:08:58His name in my phone.
01:09:06Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for the wild, the bad, the silent, all of them.
01:09:15So, I don't feel the night.
01:09:18Smiling in the mirror like I'm finally all right.
01:09:22But every quiet moment heard a question in my chest.
01:09:27If I open up these arms, will I lose my breath?
01:09:32Should I live in love in?
01:09:34Or keep these doors locked tight?
01:09:37Been building up these walls just to make it through the night.
01:09:42If I give my heart, will I break all over again?
01:09:47Tell me, tell me, should a woman love again?
01:09:52Coffee getting colder.
01:09:54While I stare at my hand.
01:10:07You caught me twice.
01:10:09You must have forgot who's running who.
01:10:12Look, if I'm broke, we both got problems.
01:10:15I'm too broke.
01:10:17You got problems.
01:10:18I got solutions.
01:10:19When I feel like giving them.
01:10:21E, you told me the money was coming last night.
01:10:24And it's still coming.
01:10:25My bills don't wait, E.
01:10:27Neither do the people that I owe.
01:10:28Then you shouldn't owe them.
01:10:32Look, I just don't like surprises, okay?
01:10:36Good.
01:10:37Because the kind I bring, you don't walk away from, baby.
01:11:06You're going to get your 25 percent.
01:11:08Mm-hmm.
01:11:10I hear you.
01:11:12Next time, don't summon me like I'm one of your little tricks.
01:11:16I wasn't trying to eat.
01:11:18I just...
01:11:18Just what?
01:11:19I know what you was just trying.
01:11:21But look, let's not forget who set this whole play up.
01:11:26Don't forget what happened with people that crossed me.
01:11:40Tomorrow, huh?
01:11:47I don't know.
01:12:32I don't know.
01:12:34Looking for something?
01:12:35Shit!
01:12:37You scared me.
01:12:39How did you even get in here?
01:12:41What's that?
01:12:43What's what?
01:12:46Stop playing dumb.
01:12:48I'm not playing dumb.
01:12:49I've never seen this safe before.
01:12:52What's it?
01:12:53How would I know?
01:12:54I just told you this is my first time seeing it.
01:12:57You never called?
01:12:58No.
01:13:00Think of something.
01:13:02Try something.
01:13:03Put a dish in there.
01:13:04Anniversary.
01:13:05Birthday.
01:13:06Put a motherfucking number in, Mia.
01:13:19You're wasting my motherfucking time.
01:13:20I'm getting nervous with this gun.
01:13:22I don't know.
01:13:26You're wasting my motherfucking time.
01:13:28Evan, I swear I don't know the code.
01:13:31No.
01:13:32No.
01:13:34You think it's a motherfucking game?
01:13:37You think it's a fucking game?
01:13:40Come on, son.
01:13:44Trash away, bitch.
01:13:47I gotta find something to pop that bitch on.
01:13:49Come on, bitch.
01:14:04Don't.
01:14:07I swear to God, your ass trying to think I'll let you down right fucking here.
01:14:14The chick in there.
01:14:16Well, go the fuck on.
01:14:19You wanna help so fucking bad?
01:14:24You stupid bitch.
01:14:29The fuck is this?
01:14:34Everybody fucking wanna rush me.
01:14:38You know what?
01:14:40I'll pop that bitch open myself.
01:14:43Right after I pop you open.
01:14:46By Mia.
01:14:58I got a story.
01:14:59I want to meet you.
01:15:02I don't follow my friends.
01:15:07I love you, too.
01:15:12I love you.
01:15:12My name is real.
01:15:15I love you, too.
01:15:18It's not for me.
01:15:18I want to know.
01:15:24Hey, what's up cousin?
01:15:27Tasha, you have to come.
01:15:29Why? What's up? What happened?
01:15:33Pineapples.
01:15:34Oh shit.
01:15:36Okay, alright. Don't move. I'm on my way.
01:15:55Cousin, you okay?
01:16:01Jesus, what the hell happened?
01:16:13Mia. Cousin, I'm good.
01:16:19I got you. Okay? Let me take this.
01:16:24Let me have it.
01:16:34Okay. Okay, okay.
01:16:39You did good.
01:16:43I'm proud of you.
01:17:03How could you do this to me?
01:17:12Don't start with me.
01:17:17You think I wanted this?
01:17:20You think I woke up saying, how can I ruin Mia's life today?
01:17:27I have spent my entire damn life cleaning up after men, smiling at their lies, fixing their messes, keeping secrets
01:17:38for scraps.
01:17:38God, but this?
01:17:41Oh, this was different.
01:17:44Mm.
01:17:46This was real money.
01:17:49Real freedom.
01:17:52He said, just help me figure it out.
01:18:00Help me pull it off.
01:18:03And you will finally get yours.
01:18:07That's what he said.
01:18:14I'm tired.
01:18:17I'm tired.
01:18:19I am tired.
01:18:20I am tired of scraping Mia.
01:18:25I'm done begging for crumbs when I know that I am the whole damn meal.
01:18:34You were all I had.
01:18:43You was always too damn soft to survive out here.
01:19:02I'm sorry, cousin.
01:19:12I really am.
01:19:19What the fuck?
01:19:21No, no, no, no, Mia, Mia, Mia, Mia!
01:19:26I'm not soft anymore.
01:19:45Hey, I don't mean to bother you, but do you come here often?
01:19:50No, not really.
01:19:53Mind if I sit?
01:19:56Suit yourself.
01:20:01I'm sorry, where are my manners?
01:20:03My name is Andrew.
01:20:05Mia.
01:20:06Mia.
01:20:07It's nice to meet you, Mia.
01:20:11So let me ask you something.
01:20:13Andrew, was it?
01:20:15Andrew.
01:20:16Yeah.
01:20:16Go ahead.
01:20:17What do you do for a living?
01:20:21Well, I'm one of the top lawyers in the city.
01:20:24The moon's a minus and the nights are down.
01:20:31Shadows dance with secrets creep.
01:20:34Your touch is velvet, but your eyes deceive.
01:20:39I'm caught in your fire, your dangerous fire.
01:20:43A love so sweet, it's tearing me apart
01:20:51You're my dangerous love
01:20:56Ooh, I can't escape
01:21:02Every kiss I cry
01:21:07Every touch my face
01:21:13Dangerous love pulling me in
01:21:17You're my heaven, you're my sin
01:21:22A whisper lingers like a loaded gun
01:21:29Your lies are bullets, but I'm the one
01:21:33Falling deeper where the damage is done
01:21:43I'm drowning in you
01:21:48I can't resist
01:21:52Every moment closer
01:21:56Every present kiss
01:22:03You're my danger
01:22:04The ending all
