It's no

You guys are so extra.

But I love it.

It was beautiful.

You better stop hating on our fairytale
now.

Yes, sir. It was definitely giving
princess and frog.

Oh, my gosh.

You're always going to be a hater.

I would like everybody to take your
glasses real quick.

myself and my beautiful wife would like
to thank each and every last one of you

for attending our 2000 ugly Christmas
sweater party.

Yeah, Leon and I have no family here, so
celebrating with you guys is a real

blessing. And Jordan, thank you so much
for organizing this.

Absolutely. Really thank your mom for
watching 7.

Yeah, that part.

Yeah, because drunk folks and babies,
not a good look.

Yeah, we know how you get.

All right.

Now, well, everybody, please.

Raise your glasses and let's throw the
good vibes and good R &B music.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

All right,

let's get this music started.

Yes.

Ain't too bad we made it here.

Girl, have you seen my purse? Yes. Okay,

good, because I got something for you.
What you got, girl? Oh, it's good.

I'll be right back. This is so crazy.

Excuse me.

Where's the baby?

What?

Jordan, it was in my room.

Oh, who's this?

That's what I'm trying to figure out,
Aja.

Where is the baby?

Who the fuck are you?

Leon! Hey, what's wrong, babe?

Jordan's just found some crazy chick in
Seven's room looking at his picture.

Are you serious?

What's the matter, sir?

That was crazy.

Excuse, excuse, excuse me.

Go ahead, Joe.

You know who she came in with? I don't
think so.

All right, so some random -ass woman
just walked into our house? Yes.

This shit is crazy.

Ah, baby, people are crazy.

We got to be a little more careful, all
right? But all the shit we got, people

are always trying to get a come -up,
especially during the holiday season.

That's right.

And I told you to take your profile off
of JehovahMingle .com.

That is not funny.

BlackPeopleHunt .net.

Mind space. It's okay. Don't get you a
shot, my love. I'm just playing. You

know, by the fact, we don't get
everybody a shot, all right? Y 'all with

It's okay.

It's all right.

We're going to have some fun.

Look who came to the party.

Hi, my lovelies.

You were knocked out this morning.

I know.

I couldn't sleep.

I literally didn't get off until about 5
a .m.

Uh -oh.

Daddy knows that look.

You know, we're going to let you down
for a little bit and let Mommy and Daddy

talk.

Okay.

I know that look.

What'd I do wrong?

Well, I was thinking about that crazy
lady running around the house.

Hmm.

Yep. That was a little wild.

I feel like you're not really worried
about this.

No, I am worried.

I mean, come on, we had a lot of people
coming in and out of the house.

She snuck in.

Did she take anything?

No. And then what happened? She took a
weird -ass home.

So I don't see a problem.

What, you want me to call the cops or
something?

No, I don't want you to call the cops,
but you literally haven't brought it up

until I just mentioned it just now.

Look, if you thought she was a threat,
you and your loud -ass friend wouldn't

have let her leave.

I mean, between all the righteous shows
you watch and your kickboxing classes.

Oh, I know what's happening.

You mad because people don't think you
can fight because you're so pretty, huh?

I know you got a little hood in you.

All jokes aside.

I apologize for not being as concerned
as you would like me to be.

But trust me, if someone comes into my
house and threatens my family, I'm the

one they got to worry about.

Okay?

And I don't need no kickboxing classes
for that.

You know what I'm saying?

Come on.

Come on, show me it. Come on, show me
your moves. What you got? What you got?

away. Okay. Okay, how about this?

Let me make you some breakfast.

Okay? Okay. You want me to feed you?
Yeah.

Okay.

Stop.

See? I know. I'm telling you.

Seven. Is he lucky?

Santa sure could use some love right
now.

He'd hit them numbers tonight.

All right, look at the camera, baby boy.
All right. Say Merry Christmas.

All right. That's a good boy.

I appreciate you, Santa.

Merry Christmas.

I got you, baby.

Bye -bye.

Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.

Bringing the joy, bringing the cheer.
Merry Christmas.

Excuse me, I need some help, please.

Like right now.

Yeah, I can help you. What's the
problem? I need to speak to a detective

whatever superior officer you have
available.

Detective Whedon, your services are
needed.

Excuse me.

Can I please speak to you in private?
Okay, we're going to help you with? A

missing persons case.

Okay. All right, come this way.

After you.

So...

What is your name and how long have you
been missing?

My name is Christina Parker.

Okay, Christina Parker.

And six months ago, my husband and my
son disappeared, and

I haven't stopped looking for them.

I don't recall these individuals coming
across my desk in any missing person.

That's because we're not from here.
We're from Massachusetts.

Okay, so why are you here in Atlanta?

Because I found some old receipts from
this town that I tracked back to my

husband. Okay, and you think your
husband and your son were missing here?

Yes, and I found my son.

Okay, hold on.

Let me make sure I got this right. So
your family goes missing to

Yes. And you find some receipts from a
couple places here in Atlanta.

That you tracked back to your husband
somehow?

Yeah. And now you're telling me you
think you found your son here?

Yes.

Okay.

Okay, I'm not trying to offend you. So,
I mean, how would you know that that's

your son?

Do you have children, Detective?

Yeah.

If your child disappeared as a baby,

Do you think you could identify your
child?

Every day for the last six months, I
have looked for my son nonstop.

I quit my job. I've exhausted my
savings. I'm practically living off of

land, all because I cannot fathom the
thought of my son not being alive.

Okay, listen.

I will look into everything you told me.

Okay?

And if you have any further information,
please feel free to contact me.

I just told you I know where he is. Can
you please do your job and go and get my

son? Ma 'am, we can't just go to
people's homes and take their children.

not how things work around here. Well,
what is it going to take? Okay, you need

to come. I just gave you. You see this
is my son.

I'm telling you. Wait a minute.

We good?

Yeah.

We good?

Thank you.

Man, Christmas is starting to feel like
Halloween around here.

What was that about?

Potential missing persons case.

Here?

Massachusetts. Massachusetts? Yeah,
Massachusetts.

Do she know where the hell she at?

We're about to look for the marks on her
arms.

George is probably playing a big part in
her psychotic behavior. Yeah, I saw

that.

Hey, look like you owe me lunch.

For saving you just now?

Yeah, I'm feeling hungry, man. What we
doing? You want meatloaf?

Excuse me.

Sorry to bother you.

I'm just looking for my son. Is there
any way you could spare anything you

Hi, sorry to bother you. I'm just
looking for my son. Is there any way you

spare anything, please?

Excuse me.

I'm so sorry to bother you, but I'm just
looking for my son.

Is there any way you could spare
anything, a dollar, whatever you have,

Thank you so much. God bless you. Thank
you. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

He's finally asleep.

He said he wanted mommy to give him a
bath and daddy to put him to sleep.

He just wanted to talk and play with me.

He's a staller, just like his daddy.

Whatever.

Let me get back. Leon!

You got chocolate on your lips.

Where?

Right here.

Always trying to be nasty.

You know you love her.

Thank you for

being an amazing father to seven.

And even more so an amazing husband to
me.

You know what's crazy? I pray for this.

Pray for what?

To never have hardship again.

Pray for happiness.

To be a wife and not a girlfriend.

For a white picket fence.

Fireplace.

A tree with presents piled up high
underneath it.

And when I opened my eyes, he was
standing right in front of me.

I saw your face.

I was going to make you my wife.

Really?

Of course.

You know, this cute ponytail.

What's up, baby boy? You good?

Yeah.

It's a little cold out here, ain't it?

It's a little cold out here.

All right.

Here you go. Go get that.

Oh, you dropped your binky?

So cute.

Thank you. I'm a mess right now. Thank
you. It's okay. You can drink my water.

And it's new. Don't worry.

Okay. I hope so.

He is so cute.

Yeah, he is.

Thanks again.

Not a problem.

Bye, cutie.

Hey, I don't know if you're busy right
now, but we'd love if you'd join us for

some coffee right now.

Sure. Yay!

Look at you, using your adorable fun to
pick up women.

Best decision I made in weeks.

Yay! We got company.

Where are you guys heading to?

You know, we're just getting off a
little bit. You know, it's a little

the house.

Yeah. Oh, I think he's flirting with
you.

My best friend Jordan was telling me
about these muffins.

Oh, yeah. I can't get enough of them.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

So.

So.

How about you tell me about yourself?

Well.

I just moved here from Arizona.

Arizona. Yes, Arizona.

Way far out there.

Indeed. My best friend Jordan lives
here, and I just... Any other change,

know?

I do.

So I applied for some jobs, and here I
am.

How about you?

You know what's funny?

We both just moved there.

And now we're meeting.

It feels like the stars are alighting.

No,

in all seriousness, I just moved here
from Boston.

Just got out of a bad relationship.

So when you say you needed a change of
scenery, trust me, I understand.

With his mom?

Yeah.

Yeah, things have been a little rough
lately.

She passed.

Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.

Nah, it's okay.

We separated beforehand.

She was battling a drug addiction.

And in the end, it just caught up with
her.

So now I'm officially a single dad
without the dad bod or the dad jeans.

How old is he?

Eight months.

He is so precious.

Yes, he is.

What about you?

Do you have any children?

No.

I can't have kids.

I apologize.

It's okay.

You didn't know?

And I also came out of a bad
relationship.

I mean, these last ten years, I...

I feel like I've gone from bad
relationship to bad relationship to bad

relationship. And honestly, at this
point, I feel like I've missed that

I don't know. I wouldn't say that.

I feel like God got you.

He's about to bless you with a better
boat.

So you're going to get that?

I'm going to get that.

I'm telling you, it's worth it. It is
absolutely amazing.

Okay. Yeah.

I remember that day like it was
yesterday.

Really?

You know what I remember yesterday?

Come here.

Oh. Come here.

Here you go.

I pray for the same things.

I know we've had our heart broken.

Leon, get the door. This is Jordan. I'm
sure it's Jordan.

Jordan, go away.

Leon, get the door.

Okay. You stay right here, okay?

We're going to continue this, okay?

Jordan, I swear I better not be your
loud ass messing up my moment.

All right.

Shit.

Jordan, is this you?

You're messing up a really good moment
right now, Jordan.

Are you going to play games all the
time?

Please help me.

I'm sorry, who are you? Just help me,
please.

I have no idea where you're going. I
don't want any trouble.

Please, I need your help.

Who are you? I don't know how I can help
you. I'm sorry. Please, listen. My

family disappeared, and I just need to
get my family back. I just need your

help. I understand, but that's not my
thing. What is it? I just want to get my

family back. I have no idea how we can
help you. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I

just want my family to disappear, and
I'm just trying to get my family back.

I don't give a shit about your family.
What the fuck are you doing on my

property? You have the nerve to be in my
house, in my son's roof. I'm sorry.

Leon, get this bitch out of here. You
gotta go. You gotta go.

Please. Leon, get her out. Can you
please go? Can you please go?

Thank you. Yes, thank you.

The fuck?

Let's just go back inside.

She's gone. Let's just go back inside.

Why are you being so calm about this?

Obviously, she's in distress, right?

There is something seriously wrong with
that chick.

You wanted to make a joke out of it
before? You still think it's funny?

Oh, so now you're going to blame that
shit on me? I'm not blaming you, Leon.

just saying I think we should call the
police. And I'm saying you need to calm

down.

Yes.

Look, I promise you, tomorrow we'll go
to the police, okay?

Thank you.

Got you.

I swear to God, if this is her, she's in
the room now.

It's not her. Is she fucking crazy?

Hey,

let's go back inside.

Let's go back inside, okay?

It's all good.

The craziest shit I've ever experienced.

I know, I know, I know.

She does it again, we'll call the cops,
whatever we need.

She's gone. The fuck is going on?

She's gone.

It's all good.

It's like some Hand the Rocks with
Cradle type shit.

I'll go to the police station first
thing in the morning.

Shit.

Oh, my God.

Seven.

Tomorrow. I'll take care of it tomorrow.

You're going to sleep with mommy and
daddy tomorrow?

Yeah.

So before we start, would I want any
water, some juice, some tea, anything?

No, Detective.

I think we're fine for now. Thank you.
Okay.

So, how can I help you?

We think we might have a stalker on our
hands.

A stalker?

Yeah, and she's out of her mind.

Okay. Do you know who she is?

I have no idea who the hell she is.

Well, we do. She broke into our
Christmas party, snuck into our son's

came back to our house, talking about
can we help her with her missing family.

Hold on, no, no, no. You're saying that
she mentioned that her family went

missing? Yeah. You sure?

Yes.

Give me one second.

Is this her?

Yeah, that's her.

Yeah, so I do know who she is.

She came to me for help.

She's from Massachusetts, and she
believes her family went missing here in

Atlanta. So I did some research, did
some digging, and come to find out she's

been to a couple other states causing
some noise as well.

Oh, so this is her MO.

I mean, yes and no.

Her family definitely went missing.

Do I think she's a desperate and hurt
woman? I do.

I mean, do I believe her claims that you
guys have her son?

I mean, I don't.

This is crazy.

Honestly, they don't even look alike.

Yeah, listen, I get it.

My personal belief is she did some
research, she found you, who,

is the same name as her husband.

Yeah, that's probably just a
coincidence.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Leon Parker.

Her name's Cameron Parker.

So, you know, although she's acting like
a madwoman, she does have those

similarities to hang on to.

Yeah, but it still doesn't give her the
right to terrorize us in our own home.

You're right.

And I will put an end to that
immediately.

You have my word.

All right.

Thank you.

Are we good to go now?

Yeah, yeah, I'll rest.

And I do apologize.

This happened to your family.

I don't need your apologies. I just need
you to deal with it.

All right.

Anytime.

Get the door for me, baby.

I got it. I got this.

You need to calm down.

You can't be coming to a police station
like that.

Please.

You don't understand.

Please. Christina, leave it alone.

Can you please just let me go? I'm sorry
for hitting you. Please.

Wow.

So you're getting beat up by widows now.

Don't you got some work to do?

Look, you are lucky that my partner is
not the Grinch.

Because you'll be up in here all week in
this Christmas.

So while you're over here begging, you
might want to thank him, too.

You're such a nice guy.

Call me later.

Days before Christmas, and you want to
pull that stunt.

You don't understand what I have been
through.

Please.

I can't fathom losing my child.

So I won't even pretend I know what that
feels like, Christina.

But you can't go about it that way.

But my partner's right.

I'm not a Grinch.

So this is my ultimatum and Christmas
gift to you.

I'm buying your bus ticket to
Massachusetts tonight.

Do you understand?

Christina, do you understand? I
understand.

You need to go home and regroup.

I know it's tough, but that's not the
way.

Mommy got you.

Mommy got you.

You

guys

have some kind of fight or something?

I wouldn't really call it a fight.

I caught him lying about his
whereabouts.

On forced papers.

Yeah, he was just waiting for the right
moment.

I don't know.

I don't know if it's too personal, but
when did you guys get married?

We were together longer than we were
married.

He was my college crush.

I met him at the restaurant he was
working at.

He was always a hustler.

And then we got married a couple years
after that.

And that's when you guys had Cameron?

No.

I got pregnant when our marriage was
starting to fail.

I knew he was cheating. I just... I
hoped that a baby would bring us closer.

Yeah.

Well, there was some time when you think
you know a person until the shells fall

off and a real person appears.

Tell me about it.

I was at this place in my life where my
baby was my everything.

And when he disappeared, I just felt
like I lost it all.

And I would do anything to get my baby
back.

Please just give you this.

I've done all my own investigating. All
the information you need is right here.

Can you please just look through it,
please?

Please. I will.

I promise.

This is for you.

I saw the marks on your arms.

So I'm giving you this money to help you
get on your feet. Do you understand?

Detective, I've never taken a drug.

I swear.

Thank

you.

For everything.

I'm sorry.

Can I, um, have a hug?

Please?

Sure.

What are you doing? Detective.
Christina, come on now. I told you I

whatever it takes to get my baby back.
Christina, once you move forward with

this, everything you sacrifice goes out
the door. Please, detective.

Grab your handcuffs.

Now.

This Christina?

Put them on.

Put them on.

Get in the car.

Get in!

Get in the car.

Finally, I get to take a long hot bath.

Hold on, wait.

No invite for your husband?

No invite.

All right, come on.

You know, maybe I'll invite you for some
fun afterwards.

Oh. Yeah.

I like the sound of that.

I bet you do.

You know, I got a monster I've been
waiting to put to good use, so this

a good time for that.

You are so stupid.

I ain't playing with you.

All right. Take your time.

She thought I was funny.

It's going to be a good night.

Yeah, boy.

Leon!

It's not to be.

Detective Weedon, we have a kidnapping
attempt at 16...

Crazy bitch.

As much as I want to make light of this
situation, I'm glad you're safe.

Yeah.

Lesson learned, all right?

Yeah, I guess I deserve that.

Listen, not everybody deserves the
benefit of the doubt.

But check this out.

Her labs came back clean.

Yeah, she did say that she never used a
drug before.

Try not to beat yourself up about this.

If she was off, way off.

No.

There's something about this case, man.

Something don't even feel right.

Get it.

But let me give you some words of
wisdom.

Never put your feelings in front of the
facts.

You did that once before and we almost
lost you.

And I don't want to go through that
again.

Think about it.

to tell me.

pretty hard.

Yeah, I bet.

You okay?

Yeah.

Just still.

Shaken up from everything, you know.

Walk past that room where we're at five
passes from my body.

Yeah, I know.

I thought about getting another hotel,
but everything was sold out with

Christmas being just a couple of days
away.

Okay.

So, we'll be fine.

being serious.

I love you.

I'm just your own guy. I've been looking
at the clock.

I ain't got a lot of time.

If I want to hook your body personal,
then I might have to be so fly.

Gentlemen, this is Parker.

Hey.

I'm sorry to show up like this, but I
had a couple more questions, and I

to see if I could speak to you and your
husband.

Sure.

Leon's not in, but I can help you.

Thank you.

First and foremost, how are you making
out?

I mean... Yeah.

I get it.

So I just have a couple questions and
just to add them all.

So how long have you and Leon been
married for?

Not that long, actually.

We were dating for about four months
before you popped the question.

Four months.

Four months.

We went to the justice of the peace and
we got married shortly afterwards.

I know it seems fast, but I don't know.
When you meet your soulmate, there's

just no reason to wait.

Yeah, yeah, I get it.

So, hold on. So Seven is your biological
son?

No, no.

Actually, I can't have children.

When I first met Leon, he was a single
dad.

But Seven and I, we just had an instant
connection.

It's probably what set up the process.

Everything just felt so...

Organic, you know.

And the mother?

She was a lady who cared more about
drugs than she did about her own child.

Ultimately, that killed her.

So as far as I'm concerned, she doesn't
even matter.

Excuse me.

That good, honey? Are you okay?

Thank you. I mean, yeah, I'm fucking
crazy up in here.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you had
company. How you doing? Good. How are

you? I'm good.

Thank you so much for your time.

Of course.

Yeah.

The detective.

Oh, girl, we have so much to talk about.
This is so crazy.

We're crazy.

Hey.

I found this on the seat of your car.

I meant to give it to you earlier.

Thanks, man.

Hello, how you doing?

I'm Will. How can I help you?

I'm Detective Whedon. I'm calling from
Metro.

And I have a receipt here dating back to
last year.

And I was wondering if I can get some
information about it.

Um, what type of information do you
need?

Uh, I'm working on a missing persons
case.

And the person missing is on the
receipt, Leon Parker.

Yes, Leon Parker came in with Monica
Banks on November 15th. 16th.

Monica Banks.

November 15th.

And do you have any information for Ms.
Banks?

Yes, I have it here. Are you ready?

Yes, I'm definitely ready.

It's 617.

617. 333.

333.

4765.

4765.

Okay. Okay. Thank you so much.

You're welcome, Detective.

Have a great day. You, too. Happy
holidays.

Thank you, too.

Bye -bye.

All right. Bye -bye.

Okay. How can I help you?

Well, I'm calling about the
disappearance of Leon Parker.

Wait. What?

He's missing?

Yes, he is.

How long has he been missing?

From what I understand, about six, seven
months now.

I'm at a loss for words right now.

Well, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad
news.

Question, when was the last time you
spoke to him?

Like six months ago.

Sorry, I'm floored right now.

Okay, so you were here.

Yes.

We went to a spa.

We did some shopping.

I spent the entire weekend with him and
his son.

We were planning to start a new life
together.

But you knew he was married, right?

Yes.

He was planning on leaving his wife.

After that weekend, I got a text from
him to never contact him again.

Said he was going back to his wife.

It all sounded so crazy to me.

from his phone and deleted his social
media.

It was all so bizarre because we've been
seeing each other for some time and

planning all of this.

He even bought a house for us and
everything.

You know the address?

No, I don't remember, but I do know what
it looks like.

If you don't mind me asking, where are
you located?

I'm in Boston.

Okay, so let me ask you a question. If I
got you a plane ticket down here, I

mean, would you come?

To Atlanta?

Yes. Yes, I think you would be a big
help in this case.

Okay.

I'll help as much as I can.

Okay. All right, thank you.

I'll be in touch soon.

All right, bye -bye.

Hi, I'm here to see a detective Whedon.

How you doing, Ms. Banks?

Hi, good. How are you? I'm doing very
well.

Come this way.

Who is that?

She's a key component in the Parker
case.

So you're still chasing ghosts, I see.

I think I cracked the code.

So?

Am I, like, being recorded or something?
Oh, no, no.

I just want you to review some pictures
and to also see if you remember any more

information.

Okay. Okay?

Mm -hmm.

So you mentioned that, you know, you all
had a life together, right?

I know what it looks like, and trust me,
I felt horrible.

Okay.

Okay, so he buys a house that no one
knows about, starts to...

New life.

And the last person to see him alive was
you.

What are you trying to say, detective?

Come on. The banks tell me something.

Right?

I mean, everything I mention can't be a
coincidence.

I love this man.

And sometimes you can't control who you
fall in love with.

I would have never done anything to hurt
him.

Not even call his wife after I was so
humiliated when I received that text.

Okay, so he disappears.

He goes AWOL, right?

He never calls me. I mean, he broke your
heart.

You're telling me, you're telling me
that you never pick up the phone. You

call anybody.

Nobody.

When he told me that he was going back
to his wife, I just couldn't believe

he lied to me the whole time.

I was really planning my new life.

I thought I finally found my knight in
shining armor.

I left my boyfriend.

I told my job I wanted to move to
another state.

I believed everything that man told me.

And it's taken me this whole time to
finally get over it.

So if you're asking me if I had
something to do with his disappearance,

so wrong and you've wasted your money
and your time bringing me here.

no reason not to believe what you're
talking about.

To me, my biggest concern is the
disappearance of Leon Park and not who

in love with.

There are two Leons.

I'm just wrecking my brain trying to

Sure got a damn connection.

Why do you have a picture of Jamal with
Leon's name on it?

Hold on, that's Jamal.

That's Jamal, my ex -boyfriend.

Are you sure?

Oh, trust me.

I know what my crazy ex -boyfriend looks
like.

Singleton, give me my phone now.

Tell me the truth. I told you the truth.

It's over.

I'm done.

I've explained this to you.

Do I need to say it in another language?

Who's Leon?

Don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it.

You must feel real good about yourself,
huh?

Cheating on me?

You just don't get it.

So what now? You just gonna run off with
him?

And forget about everything that we got
going?

Jamal, listen to me.

I haven't been in love with you for a
very long time.

I've told you this on numerous
occasions.

Now, I'm sorry you went through my phone
being sneaky, but this is not breaking

news.

What we had is not there anymore.

I've been allowing you to stay here so
you can get yourself together.

You should be thanking me.

What happens now? Uh -uh.

Look.

It's time for you to go.

I'm going away for work for a few days,
but when I get back, I expect you to

pack your things and left.

You got another work trip, huh?

Listen to yourself. Enough is enough.
Just go.

Like, give me my phone.

See, bitches like you don't appreciate
having a good man in their life.

Your eyes think the grass is greener,
but I'm going to show you.

Okay. Show me then.

Give me my phone.

Give me my phone.

Good night, Jamal.

I need you out of here by the night.

Today, I think I met my soulmate.

He's handsome, sexy, smart, and has
money.

Finally, a man that I don't have to take
care of.

I do feel bad for cheating on Jamal, but
the way Leon makes me feel, it's

unmatched.

I just love Atlanta I'm looking forward
to making this my new home with Leon I

can't wait to raise our family

I don't think you realize how good these
muffins really are. Oh, no, I

understand. We sell these more than the
coffee.

She's going to be so mad about this.

Well, let me know if you need anything
else, okay?

Will do. All right.

Y 'all, what you doing?

How you doing, Mrs. Parker?

Hi.

Hey, baby, who's there?

Detective Whedon from Mrs. Parker wants
to talk to us. I don't feel like it

today. Can you do it?

Of course.

How about this?

You go lay down on your bed.

I'll go downstairs and take care of
this.

And when I get back, I'll give you a
foot rub.

Yeah.

And then you'll take care of this.

Okay.

Let me get one more.

I'll be back in a few.

Hey, Detective, how are you? I'm good,
I'm good. How about yourself?

Not too bad, not too bad.

I just wanted to stop by and ask you a
couple questions.

Yeah, no worries.

You think you and your partner might
want some tea?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, sure.

Don't want right there.

How's your day going so far?

It's going good. It's going good.

How about yourself?

Yeah, you know, it was good.

Got the missus upstairs waiting for a
foot rub, but I ain't gonna hold it

against you.

Ah, now these bad boys right here.

I don't know if it's a cheat day for
you, but yeah, these are going to change

your life right here. Better die for it.

So I just want to go over a couple of
details about the investigation.

Okay, yeah, sorry.

I think it's safe to assume that you
both want sugar with your tea, right?

Yeah. All right, let me get that for
you.

So where are you from again, Leon?

I'm sorry, I didn't catch that.

I said, where are you from again?

Oh.

Sorry I moved around so much.

You know, it's kind of hard to say where
I'm from exactly.

But I did spend time with family in
Jersey, though.

Okay. Jersey.

And your wife said that she mentioned
that Simmons' biological mother died.

Yeah, she, uh... Her addiction got the
best of her.

You know, once they got a hold of her,
she just... She can never get her life

back together.

Because she... I mean, she's from, what,
the Jersey area as well?

Yeah, yeah.

Honestly, we just kind of crossed paths.

Jamal, why are you standing here lying?

Like, what is this all about?

Sorry.

Is it Leon or is it... Jamal.

I'm sorry, Detective.

I know you came here looking for the
truth.

But the truth is... My name ain't Leon.

Can I help you?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sorry.

I think I found your wallet.

So I just came back to, like, I mean, I
came here to return it to you.

Everything is in it, money and all that.

Thank you.

Yeah, no problem.

Hey, I hate to ask, but you think I
could use your bathroom real quick?

Sure. Come on in.

It's right over here.

All right. Yeah, I appreciate that, man.

All right. Thank you.

Must be my lucky day.

Have a drink.

No, I'm good.

Look, it's the least I could do.

Size, $200 a bottle.

How you like it?

It's not bad for $200 a bottle.

It is smooth, though.

Thank you for bringing my wallet all the
way over here.

Oh, yeah.

So where'd you find it?

Um, in a parking lot downtown.

I pulled up, and when I got out, it was
like right there in front of me.

Wow.

You know you dropped it in the mail bin,
right?

But it wouldn't have came to this
address.

It would have came to the address that I
saw in my life.

In Massachusetts.

So, why don't you tell me who you are?

And why are you here?

My name is Jamal.

Okay, Jamal.

You ruined my life, man.

I don't even know you.

You took the thing I love most in this
world away from me, man.

Jamal.

Jamal, Jamal, Jamal. Where?

You're Monica's ex -boyfriend. Nah, I'm
still her man.

So you mean to tell me you came all the
way here from Boston to do what?

To confront me?

Let me tell you something.

And this is a bit of advice for you.

Women like Monica love men like me.

I bring a lot to the table, my man.

The house, the cars, the money, all of
which

you obviously don't have.

But you surprised me. You lasted a lot
longer than I thought you'd last, Mike.

You and I both know that you don't have
a horse in the race.

So I'm going to do you a favor.

You ain't gonna never get a penny.

Now get the fuck out of my house.

That's what it is.

Yeah, I think it's time for breakfast.

Yeah,

dig in.

So I was doing some thinking, baby boy.

Since I got a new name, I think it's
time for you to get in bed.

How about Hayden?

Nah, nah, I don't like that either.

Ooh, what about Harper?

No, no, that don't do it for you, does
it?

Ooh, I got it.

How about seven?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, you like that, don't you?

Seven, I like seven.

Where you going, huh?

Huh? Where you going?

Trying to leave me again?

Huh? You trying to leave me again?

You know, Monica, this is really all
your fault.

Sorry, detective.

Leon is dead.

Leon will still be alive.

It wasn't for this cheating ass bitch
right here.

I gotta clean up your mess yet again.

You thought you was sneaky.

You thought you was better than me.

You dumb bitch.

to be ten steps ahead of you.

Who are you?

Aja, baby, I can explain. Don't fucking
move.

Look, I know what this looks like, okay?

Who are you?

Don't fucking lie to me. If you lie to
me, I will shoot you.

Aja, I love you.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Tell me the whole fucking truth.

Hi, my name is Jamal Singleton.

I got no excuse for what I did.

But none of it was planned.

It just happened.

You gotta believe me.

Believe you?

You want me to believe you?

You've been lying this entire time.

Why? Why did you involve me in all of
this?

to love you and give you everything you
ever wanted it's true it's

true it's true it's the truth i wanted a
wife

You're running out of time.

Give me the gun!

If she lives, her truth will take away
everything that I've gained.

But if she dies, the truth dies with
her.

I can't go back to having nothing.

I came too far.

You and I, little boy, we are going to
have the best Christmas ever.
