You know, at that point,
he was a senior,

and I was
an impressionable freshman.

Welcome.

We got something I think
you guys would love.

Right down the walkway.

And I felt like he had
a good head on his shoulders,

and so I reached out to him.

You haven't stopped grinning
this entire interview.

-So you have a referral from...
-Oh.

He is so cute.

I know. Yes, he is.

You can get it.

I'd definitely like
to be a part of the team.

Well, it was a pleasure.

Do we have anymore questions
for Mr. Brett?

Ms. Jones?

-Huh?
-Excuse me, ladies.

No, um, I mean, no.

We're all good here.
We'll be in touch.

Phone call on line 1.

Uh, yeah, Liz, go ahead
and put it through.

Hello.
Is this Samantha Jones?

Yes, this is she.
Can I ask who's calling?

This is Denise LaPlante.

I'm A.J.'s science teacher
at Cedar Brook High School.

I apologize for
calling you work.

You have a minute?

-Hi.
-Miss LaPlante?

Actually, Miss LaPlante,
you're in the right place,

but she had an emergency
to attend to.

Have a seat, Ms. Jones.

I'm Dr. Chisolm,
school psychologist.

Psychologist?

Yes, and I have some concerns
about A.J.'s behavior.

Okay, what are your concerns?

Well, the kids have been out of
school for over six months now,

and it's tough.

And everyone is dealing with
the difficulties differently.

So it's important
that we follow up

and that we monitor
each child closely.

Ms. Jones, have you noticed
any odd behavior from A.J.

in recent weeks?

No.

I mean, not really.
Nothing out of the ordinary.

And, of course,
moving to a new city

and leaving behind friends
and family is tough on anyone,

let alone a teenager.

Ma'am, A.J. has always been
somewhat of a loner.

He is not a follower.
He is not disruptive in class.

He's a listener, an observer.

He shouldn't be condemned
for that.

No, he shouldn't.

Several of his teachers
are concerned, as well.

Miss LaPlante, she said that he
stormed out of her class

because his father
was at the school

and he needed to go outside.

I understand that A.J. was
a part of the DT-45 program.

I pulled his medical records
from his previous school

prior to the stay at home order.

I wasn't able to see
the full medical report,

obviously,
without your authorization,

but I did see that he had
intense therapy and counseling

following a stay
at the sanitarium.

That has nothing
to do with this.

That was something to help him
deal with his father.

And that.

I noticed there was no mention
of his father

in any of the school reports.

If there's something
we need to know, Ms. Jones...

Absolutely not.

Are you going through
custody issues?

Are you divorced?

It's very important that we get
a full scope

of what's going on
in A.J.'s life

in order to get to the bottom
of the issues.

No, ma'am, I'm not divorced,
and there are no custody issues.

Ms. Jones, please, don't --
Please don't be upset.

I'm not stereotyping.
I am not.

It's just that in most cases,
a child's ill behavior,

it's usually the manifestation
of something that's going on.

Well, that's not possible!
A.J. did not see his father.

How can you be so sure,
Ms. Jones?

Because he's dead!

A.J.'s father is dead.

Ms. Jones? Ms. Jones.

Ms. Jones?

There is something wrong
with A.J.

He is -- he's desensitized,

he lacks empathy
for his fellow students.

Ma'am, there is nothing wrong
with my son.

It's just the nerve
of these people.

I swear.

You know, if you don't
protect your kids

from these so-called experts,
they'll just throw labels

at your kid, railroad them.

Why am I ranting? I'm sorry.

No, no, it's all good.
I understand.

Like, no matter what I do,
I can never catch a break.

I always something.

Sam, you are
a great mother.

A.J. is a good kid.

He's just, you know,
like most kids.

Hard headed and stubborn.

And, you know, probably a lot
like his father.

I'm sorry.
What did you just say?

I'm just saying.

Yeah, what exactly
are you saying?

Sam, just chill.

Chill?

I'm saying exactly
what you said.

Boys will be boys, and he's
stubborn and hard headed.

And -- and I'm sure as a mother,

you don't want the same thing
to happen to him.

The same thing?

And what is the same thing,
Corey?

Get murdered.

I never said anything about
my husband being murdered.

-Yes, you did.
-No, I didn't.

-Yes.
-No, I didn't.

We were at dinner.
You weren't feeling well.

I asked you about the ring.

You said he, uh, he was
stubborn, he was hard headed.

You got into something.
He went out and...

That's exactly what I said.

I said nothing about anyone
getting killed.

You know, you probably had
too much to drink that night.

-Wow.
-What?

-You know what? I should go.
-No, Sam, Sam.

Sam, listen to me.

I-I'm sorry.

I don't want you to leave upset.

I overstepped my boundaries.

Yeah.

You know what? That's all right.

But FYI, what little
I did tell you that night,

I told you in confidence.

Not for you
to throw back in my face.

I was just trying to throw it --
Sam, I wasn't --

Some petty shit, Corey.

Yeah, I'm fine.

My mom just walked in.

No, honestly,
I been more worried about her.

She hasn't called all day.

Get your manipulative ass
off the phone right now

and tell Nana I will
call her back.

I got to go, Nana.

Yeah, I think
she had a rough day.

Okay, I love you. Bye.

You got something to tell me.

No.

Seriously?

So, as you know, I was called
into your school today.

Do you know
how humiliated I was?

You left me out there
to get ambushed.

What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with me?

What's wrong with you?

Excuse me?

Know what?

Never mind.

I just want to go home, man.

First of all, don't "man" me.
I am your mother.

Show some respect.

Secondly, what you mean go home?

This is your home.

Back to Baltimore. Home!
Back to Nana.

You don't get to make
that decision.

The only reason you want
to go back to Baltimore

is because you got Nana
wrapped around a little finger.

She enables you.

Look at me.

Let me tell you something,
honey.

Life ain't easy
and change ain't easy.

I am trying to provide you
with opportunities, A.J.

I thought we were
on the same page.

I thought we were, too.

You know, I don't care
what they told you.

Fuck them teachers!
I'm not doing normal counseling.

Whoever said anything
about counseling, A.J.?

Come on!

You know what?
I don't even believe you.

I don't trust you.

That's what you told me
last time.

You know what? You just like
all them other chicks.

Wilin' out.
You ain't loyal.

All them of other chicks?
Loyal? A.J., loyal to who?

Why did you tell your teacher
you saw your father?

Because I did.
And I do all the time.

Just like that,
you forgot about him.

A.J., your father is dead.

You can't go around
telling people that you see him

and that you talk to him.

Do you know
how dangerous that is?

Do you remember the
repercussions back home?

You do, too!

I hear you at night, huh?

I hear you coming
in late at night

with all these other guys,

smelling like liquor
and cigarettes.

Like I said, you're not loyal.

Hey, boo.

-Hey, Jo, are you busy?
-No.

You know I'm always
on the grind.

I'm just finishing up
this painting.

-Girl.
-What's up?

Check this out.

Apparently, Corey has
a clear view

straight into my living room,
and he's never said anything.

Don't you think that's weird?

Maybe. I mean, it might just be
a coincidence.

I mean, you did say you picked
the unit, right?

True.

Girl, don't you think he
should have said something?

I mean, especially
since we're dating.

Well, yeah. No.

I mean, it's just a window, Sam.

Oh, you ain't got
no curtains, do you?

Huh? Girl, will you
buy some damn blinds?

You always on that, "I need
some natural light" shit.

Okay. Anyways.

There's something else.

It's A.J.

What happened.

Where do I begin?

They called me into his school
for an emergency meeting.

Girl, he's acting up again.

Apparently, he had an incident
with one other student

where he allegedly
brandished a knife.

And then he ran out of class
and told his teacher

that his dad was outside
and wanted to see him.

Hello?

I'm here.

Um, yeah, sorry.

Honestly, uh, I'm not surprised.

Excuse me?

I said I'm not surprised.

I mean, this is too much.

It makes sense, Sam, okay?

So this is about to be
an "I told you so."

You know what? You can call it
what you want to.

But you and I both know
this was just too much for A.J.

And honestly, it's too much
for you, too.

I mean, you should
have never pulled him

out of therapy, period.

And if I'm being 100, you need
a little therapy yourself.

-We all do.

Wow.

So you're attacking me
for stepping out on faith

and trying to provide for me
and mine?

Attacking? Girl, please.

Look, Sam, I'm gonna
always ride for you.

You know that.

It's just, if I can't
tell you the truth,

then I'm not being me, okay?

Look, Gerrod was
A.J.'s super hero.

Shit, he was a super hero
to all of us.

And you just can't think
he's going to get over his death

by packing up and running away.

Sam, you're still angry.
You're angry and you're bitter.

-That is not true.
-Oh.

Look, we all make choices,
and we have to live

with the consequences.

Just because I don't
keep track of the day that

Gerrod stepped out
and got killed

does not make me angry
and bitter.

You know, I love my family.

God knows I do.

But we are messed up.

We got all kind of
built up trauma in us

that we don't deal with
and that we don't talk about.

And this has got to stop.

Yeah, girl, I hear you.
But look, my break is over.

I'm going to have
to call you back.

That's real convenient,
Samantha.

Shit.

Excuse me.

Is that blood?

Yep.

What happened?

Look, I don't want any trouble.
I'm just --

I'm new to the neighborhood,
and I'm concerned is all.

I don't know what happened.

Some sort of investigation,

and, uh, we were called in
to clean it up.

An investigation?

Yeah.

The old lady that lived there,
did something happen to her?

By the looks of it.

I got to get back to work.

Yeah, all right.

Thanks.

Hey, stranger.

Hey.

Wow, it's good to see you.
I, um...

thought something
happened to you.

I've been blowing up
your voice mail.

No, I -- I'm good.

Just I've got a lot on my plate.
My mind's --

You know what?

You don't even need
to make an excuse or explain.

As long as you're all right.

An excuse?

Well, I just --
I've been trying to reach you.

Well, thanks for
your understanding.

No problem. You know what?

I got a resident
in the leasing office.

See you around.

Of course.

That was you from earlier,
wasn't it?

Why are you following me?

It's not what you think.

No, what I think is that
you're stalking women again.

That's what I think.
I'm calling the police.

No!

Don't. Please don't.

Things...

Things not what they seem.

What is that?

Megan Phillips?

That's the young lady
that lived in the 5B.

She died five days before
you moved to Freeman Lakes.

How did she die?

They say suicide,
but I know it's not true.

You think Corey did it,
don't you?

He did do it.

He was dating her.

They dated for about four months
during the quarantine.

They found her dead.

Gunshot to the head.

They didn't even do
any investigation.

They found live cameras
in her apartment,

and the cops started
asking around Corey.

He blamed me.

Told them I put them in there.

That's how I got arrested.

Well, how'd you get out?

Insufficient evidence.

But I still lost my job.

I loved my job.

I was good at it.

Megan.

She told me herself that Corey,
he's, uh, he's possessive.

She knew that he had hacked
her social media.

That's why she discovered
he put a tracker in her car

when she took it
to get serviced.

It was him.

Here.

I found this on
your front bumper.

He's tracking you, too.

Oh, my God.

Hm.

No, I swear.

My spirit, I have been
having the weirdest

feeling lately, like something's
off, like I'm being watched.

She was nice to me.

She was my friend.

She was a singer.

And sometimes, sometimes
she would she would sing for me.

I-I was just trying
to protect her.

When we first moved here,
Corey told me the story about

this old lady named, uh,
Miss Irma.

Said that she was a hoarder
and that she was sent off

to a nursing home.

I...i...

Wait.

Corey -- his mother lives
in a nursing home.

But he told me
that his mother was dead.

No.

She's not.

Arnez, why are you
telling me all of this?

Uh...

Stay away from him.

You and A.J.

He is dangerous.

Hey, Corey.

Hey.

How was your day?

It was cool.

Listen, uh...

I really miss you.

I know that you're
upset with me, but...

I really need to see you.

Well, do you want some company?

Um...

Yeah, that would be nice.

Keep your phone nearby.
I can come over.

I just have to wait until
A.J. falls asleep.

That shouldn't be too late.

Okay, um, you want to, um...

you want to sleep over?

I can do that.

I just -- I have to be back

before A.J.
wakes in the morning.

No problem. That'll be good.
I'll see you soon.

Alright, bye.

You know
I missed you, right?

Yeah, I feel the same.

I missed you, too.

Guess you've been real busy.

I have. I've just
been busy lately.

What?

Yeah, and school's been insane.

We're working on this
partner project right now,

and it's just -- it's --
the due date is coming.

I'm a little overwhelmed.

Partner?

Yeah.

Is that that, uh...

that light skinned dude
I saw you with

when you were moving?

What?

I mean -- I mean I'm not
trying to be nosy or anything,

but I just noticed when I was
driving by, so I, you know,

figured you don't know anybody
in town, so...

Yeah, no, it's, um, kind of
my first friend.

He's helped me a lot.

So you prefer
light skinned dudes?

I'm just...

I don't know what you're into.
I'm trying to learn.

-It's all good.
-He's a friend, Corey.

It's all good. It's all good.

So are you sitting so far away
if you miss me?

I don't know, Corey.
It's been a while.

Well, come here.

I ain't gonna bite.

I don't know about that.

Unless that's what you like.

You know what I like?

What?

Hm. One of my favorite things
is if you rub my head.

-Yeah?
-Mm-hmm.

You like your head rubbed?

-I mean, it helps me..
-Yeah, it does.

...fall asleep.

Does that feel good?

Mm, that feels so good.

Looks like
this is it.

Okay. Real good.

Yeah.

They told me
there'd only be one.

Yeah, well, things have
changed a little.

Is that gonna be a problem?

No problem.

This is Troy.

You guys expecting a fight?

This here is security.

You get the power up,
train running.

Make sure everything's --

Oh, fuck, that was loud.

What the hell?

Oh, my God.

Corey, you scared the shit
out of me.

Power up,
the train running.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.
I was just using the bathroom.

You know I have another bathroom
out here, right?

Honestly, I forgot
you had a bathroom.

Excuse me.

We good to go?

Yeah.

So why don't we get ready
to go to bed?

Um, yeah, uh,
about that, you know, I'm...

I know this is my idea,
but I think I should go.

Word?

Yeah, I'm just really tired,
so I'm going to get going.

Well, that's unfortunate
because I was hoping

that you'd, you know...

-I know.
-...stay the night.

I know. I'm sorry.
That's my fault.

I didn't properly
think this through.

And I just --
I keep thinking of A.J.

And if he wakes up
and I'm not there...

Come on, A.J. -- A.J. is
practically a grown man.

Corey, I think it's best
that we just slow down,

just take our time with things.

I have a lot on my plate,

and I just think it's wise
that we pace ourselves.

All right.
So which one is it?

Is it is it A.J., or is it
that you need more time?

I don't want you to get upset
that you're not going to see me

-as much because she needs me.
-I'm not upset. I'm not upset.

He needs to know
that he's a priority.

All right.
All right, fine.

If that's
what you want to do,

you want more time,
you want A.J.,

I...I can do that.

Hey.

Thank you.

Thank me for what?

For understanding.

Um, I'll call you later.

So I don't even get a hug
or a kiss or anything like that?

I'm serious about slowing down.

-Good night, Corey.

Remember me, little nigga?
