[suspenseful music]

- [Corey] Your Honor,
growing up,

I didn't have a
father in my life.

As a child, I will go nights,

sometimes weeks without eating,

which is why my daughter

nor her mother have ever
had the want for anything.

I know the pain that comes
from being a single parent,

the pain that comes with
being a fatherless child.

And I made it my business
to break that cycle.

- Mr. Spencer, I understand

that you've made your
best attempt

at providing voluntary support,
however,

it is the court's ruling
that, starting next month,

you'll be ordered to pay $3,000
a month in child support.

- Objection, your Honor.

I don't need the state telling
me how to raise my kid.

- You'll be granted visitation
rights every other weekend.

- I can't be away from
my daughter that long.

I get her every weekend.

I need my time.

- Time?

What do you know about time?

What about the time that
I spend working two jobs.

- [Judge] Order.

- Or what about that time
that you forgot

to pick up our
daughter from school

because you were busy
working on an update?

- [Judge] Order.
- That was an accident.

- Was it?

- And you ain't the only
one that made sacrifices.

So watch how you talk to me.
- I don't have to watch shit.

You ain't no damn daddy,
you a sperm donor.

- Fuck you!

[water splashing]
- [Judge] Order.

- Fuck you too!
[gavel banging]

[indistinct chatter]

- [Judge] Now, order in
this courtroom.

[intense music]
- Order in the courtroom.

[gavel banging]

[somber music]

world sounds like.

[indistinct chatter]

- To be numb, it's my
life right now.

I hate the club.

Seems like everyone
here is trying

to escape some part of
their reality.

Shit, maybe I belong here.

[feet pattering]
[somber music]

[fist knocking]

[indistinct chatter]
[upbeat club music]

How you doing?
You want to dance?

- Ew, I have a boyfriend.

- Your breath stink anyway.

[upbeat club music]

- You look nice.

- Huh? I can't hear you.

- I said you look nice.

- Oh, thank you.

- You want to dance?

- No, uh-uh. We good.

[upbeat club music]
[indistinct chatter]

- This place is wild, isn't it?

- Yeah. Pretty wild.

- You come here often?

- Nah, this is my first time.

- Oh, man.

You're living the dream.

There are so many
beautiful women here.

In fact, why are you
sitting here?

Why aren't you out there?

Get, go out there and get laid.

- Man, it's hot in here.

I'm taking a break.

- Well, I guess we all need
to take a break sometime.

[Corey mumbling]
- Get your hand.

What the fuck is wrong with you,
man?

[somber music]

- Damn. Watch where you going.

You almost hit a lady.

- Damn, I would never put
a hand on you.

Unless you like that
type of stuff.

- I do, but how is it in there?

- It's a little crazy.
I ain't gonna lie.

- Oh yeah?
- But it depends on what type

of vibe you looking for.

- Honestly, I don't really
care. I just need a drink.

- Hey, watch my shoes, man.

- What, nigga?
- How about this?

- Think I can help you
out with that.

- Punk ass. Boy, how about this?

[bottle shattering]
[men shuffling]

Fuck, man.
[men fighting]

- Oh, damn.

Definitely not my vibe. [laughs]

So you always dressed like
this when you come out?

- Oh, this old thing. [laughs]

I just came from court earlier.

- Right. So you know any
other places close by?

I just moved down here.

I'm not really familiar
with the area yet.

- Oh yeah.

I know a spot that's
right up the block.

It's a little laid back though.

- Up the block? Laid back?

I like laid back. [laughs]

[gun firing]
- Oh shit.

[gentle piano music]

- [Kayla] So what do
you do for work?

- I dabble in business, I
dabble in tech.

A few years back I
started an app.

So it's a dating app,

but it's only available
to people in Atlanta.

And it uses basic
principles of astrology

to match you with someone
who has, you know,

compatible interests and
lifestyle habits and,

I'm sorry, am I boring you?

My ex used to hate when
I talk about this stuff.

- Nah, it's cool.

Plus I asked you what you do.

So do you use the app yourself?

- Nah, I ain't even
got a profile. [laughs]

I like the old-school,
face-to-face contact type of

shit.

- Okay, what's the app called?

- ATLUV.
- Oh, that's cute.

- What?

- Nothing.

- There's something.

Why you looking at me like that?

[Kayla laughing]

- It's just, you have nice eyes.

- Oh, I got a nice eyes.

- They tell a story.

- What kind of story?

- Something deep like a
Shakespearean sonnet. [laughs]

- [laughs] I hate Shakespeare.

- What?
You can't hate Shakespeare.

I love Shakespeare.

- Man, that guy wasn't
even original.

He stole most of his plots.
- Lies.

William Shakespeare
was a genius, tripping.

- A genius and a thief. [laughs]

Look, I took a drama
class in college,

and we had a whole
lesson how most

of his stuff was written
by ghost writers.

- I took drama in college too.

And that topic never came up.

- Well, that's 'cause I
went to HBCU.

- Mm.

What HBCU did you go to?

- I went to Clark.

- Mm. Okay.
- What about you?

- I went to a PWI,
college of Miami.

- Oh, okay. That's where
you're from, Miami?

- A little city on
the outskirts.

You wouldn't know the
name if I told you.

- Try me.

- Hialeah.

- Yeah, I don't know that shit.

- See, what about you?

Where are you from?

- I never really know how
to answer that question.

- What do you mean?

- It's complicated.
- Explain.

- But I was born in
South Carolina.

- Okay.
- My mom, she was an addict.

So I was raised in Texas
until I was about five

by my auntie, and she
passed away.

By then, my mom, she got
back on her feet,

and I moved to New Jersey.

Then she went to prison
when I was 13.

So I moved in with my
grandmother in New York.

Best thing that ever
happened to me in my life.

- Damn.
- I went to high school there.

- I'm sorry.
- Don't be sorry.

Everything I went through
made me who I am today.

- What about your dad?
Was he around?

- I never met him.

How about you? Your folks,
they was in your life?

- Oh, they were present.

Sometimes too present,
but I'm thankful.

- Okay, so it sounds
like you had

a little good life in Florida.

[Kayla sighing]

What brought you to Atlanta?

- I'm an inspiring actress.
- Uh-oh.

- Oh, no. What? [laughs]

- Let me guess, you model too?

- No, just act.

And please do not try
to box me in

with all those other shallow
women who just wanna act

because they think they
have the look.

I actually have talent.
Thank you very much.

- Uh-huh, huh. Prove it.

- Okay.

They met me in the
day of success,

and I have learned by
the most perfect report

that they have more in
them than mortal knowledge.

While stood captivated in the
wonder of it came messages

from the king who all
held me, Thane of Cawdor.

This have I thought good
to deliver thee,

my dearest partner of greatness,

that thou might not lose
the dues of rejoicing

by being ignorant of what
greatness is promised thee.

Lay it to thy heart
and farewell.

- Mm.

[Kayla scoffs]

I thought we had a-
- What is your name?

- Corey.
- Hi, Corey.

- What's your name?
- Sierra.

You have really soft
lips by the way. [laughs]

- Thank you.
- You can do it again.

[lips smacking]
- Oh. Oh.

[both laughing]
- Bartender.

[horn honking]

- [Sierra] So what's next?

- [Corey] What you mean?

- Like, what do you
want to do now?

- [Corey] Everything.

- I know what you waiting on.

She ain't gonna call you.

- Hey, what's up?

- Oh, hey, you got a new number?

- Nah, I been had this
number about a month now.

- You know it's hard
for me to keep up

with you and all your numbers.

- [Man] I haven't heard
from you in a while.

- I've just been busy trying
to get adjusted in Atlanta.

That's all.
- Okay.

So how that movie thing
going for you?

You a movie star yet?

- Not yet, but soon.

I wish things were a little
better for me right now.

I would've put some
on your books.

- Oh nah, man. I ain't
calling you for that.

I just called to
hear your voice.

- Smurf, this is hard
for me to say,

but I need you to
stop calling me.

- What?
- I met someone recently.

Someone who wants to
help me heal.

- You don't think I
need to heal too?

- I definitely think you
have some healing to do,

but I don't think I play
a part in that.

- Sierra, you the only thing

that's giving me hope right now.

- I can't be
responsible for that.

I'm sorry, I gotta go.
- Sierra.

Sierra.

- No, sir.

- Well, when she get home,
tell her,

"Bitch, I need to see you."
- Yes, sir.

- I haven't seen my
daughter in a few weeks now.

I think her mother has my

[Corey clears throat]

How did it go?

- Well, I definitely
didn't get the part.

- What makes you think that?

- I forgot my fucking lines.

I was at work all night

and I couldn't look at my
sides until this morning.

- Well, you never know.
They may still book you.

- That's optimistic as fuck.

- You ain't gotta be rude. I'm
just trying to be positive.

- Corey.

I don't think this is working.

- What's not working?
- Us.

You're too good for me.

You're like perfect, and I'm
a wreck, and I just feel like,

I don't know.
I don't wanna wear you down.

- Baby.
You're not wearing me down.

If anything, you build me up.

I learned a long time ago,

you gotta block out that
negative energy,

and meeting you made that
process

a whole lot easier for me.

I believe in you.

Now, manifest that life
that you want.

I love you.

- You love me?
- I do.

- I love you too.
[lips smacking]

- Move in with me.

- [laughs] You think we're
ready for that?

- I do.

Look, if you move in,

you ain't gotta worry
about rent no more.

You could quit them side jobs

and you could focus on
acting full time.

- It seems like a big step.

I mean, I haven't even
met any of your friends,

let alone your family.

- I don't really got
family like that.

And the little friends
that I do have,

I promise, in due time,
you're gonna meet them.

- Okay.
What about your daughter?

Would you have a problem
with me meeting her?

- I wouldn't, but her
mother would.

- Why does she care if you
guys aren't even together?

- I don't know.

- Mm.
- It's complicated.

- I hate that.

- Like I said, we
focusing on the positive.

- [scoffs] Okay, I'll move in,

but I'll make my own little
oasis in the living room,

and I'll sleep on the couch

because I don't wanna
invade your space.

- Oh, hell no.
- No, for real.

I wanna keep this fresh.

I don't want you like
waking up in the morning

and seeing me and all my
flaws and stuff, plus,

I like snore, and ugh,
this could be bad.

- Shut up.
- [laughs] Okay.

[lips smacking]
[gentle music]

- Same Salmon every
fucking night.

- And I'm sick of it.
- This bullshit.

- Truly sick of it.

The only thing these
guys wanna do

is they just want to be seen.

These clowns didn't come to hit.

- You niggas can't win shit.

- [Reporter] Come to
run the football.

Shit, they can't even
catch the damn football.

I'm convinced half of this team

don't even know what a
God damn football is.

- So do you think your team-
- Babe, move.

Come on, I'm trying to see
the highlights.

Come on.
[TV Reporter chattering]

- [Reporter] Gotta win the
games first, baby girl.

We are oh and eight.
Oh and eight.

- I am the highlight.
- Straight.

- Okay, for real.
Stop playing, okay?

I can't see shit on.
- Excuses.

- What the hell you do that for?

[lips smacking]

- Why do you have on
all these clothes

like you play for the
team or something?

- Look, I just can't
believe we lost.

Okay, that's three in a row.

- The Knight's loose
every year. Nothing new.

- Watch how you talk
about my team, now.

- Your team sucks.

- You know what?

I've been a Knights fan
longer than I known you.

And if I wouldn't have-

- And if you wouldn't have what?

- If I wouldn't have
gotten in an accident,

I would be playing for
their asses right now.

- Don't blame that on me.

The fact that you got drunk
and got in an accident coming

to see me does not put
me behind the wheel.

Put that happiness in
your reality, baby.

- You know what my
reality is for real, baby?

- What?
- To watch these highlights.

[grunts] So that's what
I'm gonna do.

- [Female Reporter] The
New York Knights

took another brutal beating.

- It's here on my goddamn team.

[Interviewer chattering]
- In Peace.

- [Interviewer] 42. Coach Boone.

What happened out there tonight?

It seems your guys just
couldn't get things going.

- That a serious question?
- It seems to be.

[vibrator buzzing]
- The thing about football

is you play to win the game.
[vibrator buzzing]

[loud moaning]
Simple as that.

I feel as if I have to say
that since you asked me

[loud moaning]
that incredible question.

I'm being sarcastic, by the way.

[vibrator buzzing]
[loud moaning]

- Can you please go on
the other room with that?

[vibrator buzzing]
Please?

[vibrator thuds]
- Well, besides special teams,

shout out-
- Fucking ungrateful.

- [Reporter] 11 excuses on
offense. 11 excuses on defense.

That's 22 damn excuses on why

we're not gonna make
the playoff.

Any more questions, man?

[upbeat rap music]

[pen clicking]

- More money for
marketing is the answer.

[loud thud]

- Why can't y'all understand?

With the amount of money
we're spending on updates,

we can't afford to give out
free upgrades, all right?

We need to start charging
for premium features.

- I don't want to do that.

- Corey. It's not about
what you want, Corey.

It's about what we need.

- The app is hot right now.

Listen, we need to keep the
free subscriptions going

and then we make a move at
the right time.

- As this company's
financial advisor,

I would say that the
time is now.

- Yes, that's great.

The app's getting more subs,
all right?

That's great.
I love that, all right.

But I can't keep
coding like this.

It's simple math. All right.

More subs with no money
equals more maintenance.

- Tate, listen, with
all due respect,

you're a CTO, a chief
technical officer,

you develop software,
not currency.

- No shit, all right.

Just 'cause I don't have
a business degree in tech

doesn't mean, look, I
taught code, all right?

And I know more about the
term, "Let's talk numbers,"

than any of you people
at this table.

And right now, the
algorithm is saying

that the numbers are bad.
- He's right.

Even with the growth that
a ATLUV is experiencing,

guys, the revenue is just
not coming in fast enough.

- Listen y'all, as a company,

we operate outta love, not fare.

Listen, in two short years,

we helped 200,000 people
find real love.

It's bigger than us.

We doing something special here.

Now look, all we gotta do
is dial in on our marketing.

We got a good product.
The money will come.

- The money will come.

Hmm. [laughs]

[hands clapping]

That was nice.

Just moving.

I felt the passion. Did you?

You see there's others
on the financial board

who are not going to
be as enthused.

- Oh yeah? Well, you give
them a message from me.

You tell 'em, trust the process.

- Oh, it's not just the process
they don't trust. [laughs]

You see, if the ship sinks,

then the captain goes with it.

So, will your head.
[suspenseful music]

It was so nice to see you.

- She's such a nice lady.
[suspenseful music]

- Okay, mm-hmm.

Yeah. Mm-hmm.

I can be there right at 6:00,

and I'll send my
measurements over

as soon as we hang up the phone.

Thanks again so much.

Bye.

[Sierra screeching]

Thank you, God. Oh my goodness.

I finally booked my first gig.

- Oh shit, that's great news.
- Yep. A commercial.

Your girl's a working
actress now.

- See? I told you.
[Sierra humming happily]

All you had to do is just
speak it into existence.

- I like this whole
manifesting thing.

Next, I wanna manifest
a bigger house for us

and then a baby and a boat-
- Oh, whoa.

One step at a time.
Slow your roll.

- I love you.
- I love you too.

We gotta celebrate.
- Yeah.

- I'm gonna invite my boy over.

- [scoffs] Finally, I'm
deemed worthy enough

to meet a friend.

Is it one of your work friends?

- Nah, it's just my boy
I grew up with.

- Okay. What does he do?

- He's an entrepreneur of sorts.

- What kind of
business does he run?

- From me to you, he does like
tax fraud and shit like that.

And I kind of used to
be his partner.

- You mean like you
used to scam?

- A long time ago, yes.

And I used that money to
start up the app.

- Interesting.
But hey, I'm not judging.

I like a man with a
little bit of edge.

- Bet you do.

- Well, I'm about to
go get dressed

since we're celebrating
and having company and all.

- Make sure you put
something sexy on.

- Don't I always?
- Mm, mm.

[gentle music]

- Remember this is chess,
it's not checkers. Right?

- You remember that.
- Let me see. Okay.

[phone ringing]
It's Corey.

Yo, what's the word?
- Yo, Rico, what up?

What you doing tonight?

- Ah, shit, yo, movement's
slow so I just been laying low.

- I feel it.

Well, you and Shante, y'all
pull up to the crib tonight.

I got somebody I want
y'all to meet.

- Oh, all right, that's
a bet. You got some bud?

- Nah, I don't smoke
like that no more.

But fuck it.
We gonna be

celebrating so we gonna light
one.

- All right. Say no more.

Come on, man. Make your move.

- Baby. I won two moves ago.

Check mate.
So, where you taking me?

[liquid pouring]

[fist knocking]
- I'll go get that.

[lips smacking]

- [Rico] Come on, man,
it's cold out here.

- Shut your ass up.

Yo. What's good, bro?

- You tell me.

You know I ain't heard
from you in months, right?

- Oh, make a move. Go on.

Oh shit. What's up?
- What's up baby?

- It's so nice to see you.

- Good to see you too.
- Thank you

for inviting us over.
- You already know.

Man, don't take that personal.

Updates at work been
kicking my ass.

But I did want to introduce
y'all to my new lady.

- Mm. Where she at?

[overlapping chatter]
- Introduce away.

- Hey, whoa. Wait, wait, pause.

Ain't no way you got a
new couch, bro.

This nigga got furniture now,
Shante.

[overlapping chatter]
- Yo, shorty picked the couch.

- Phone you in.
[overlapping chatter]

- Why you trying to break
this girl? Who is she?

- Y'all play too much, man.
- We got throw pillows.

- Man, shorty picked all
this out. It's fly ain't it?

- Yeah, it smell nice.
It smell real.

- Roll with me.
- I'm fucking with it.

- Baby, I wanted to
introduce you

to my good friends
Rico and Shante.

[bowl thuds loudly]

- Pleasure.
- Nice to meet you.

- Look like you
dropped something.

- Yeah, sorry about that.
I caught a quick cramp.

- Rico and Shante. They're
practically family.

Went to high school together.

- Hello, I'm Shante.

- So nice to meet you and
girl, I love your bag.

- Oh thank you.
- Is that designer?

- Yeah, it's little
something baby got me.

[Sierra humming softly]

- Y'all ready to eat?
- I'm gonna take that for you.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

- Yeah.
- Stop man.

Go ahead, sit down.
- Sit down.

I'll go get some salad dressing.

[suspenseful music]

[cutlery clanking]

I hope you all enjoy the food.
I got everything from Lucy's.

- You gonna cook?

- Not often. No.

- The food is delicious. We
actually love Lucy's, don't we?

- So Cece, you mind if I
call you Cece?

- I prefer Sierra,
but it's cool.

- Hmm.
Well Sierra, where you from?

- Little small town
outside of Miami. Hialeah.

- Okay. So what brings
you to this amazing town?

- Well, I'm a full-time actress.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

- That's right.

My baby, she just booked her
first gig, a liquor commercial.

- Oh, congrats.
That's what's up.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- No, cheers to that.
- Yeah, cheers.

- Cheers.
[everyone cheering]

- Thank you.
[everyone sighing]

- So, before that,
before you became

this big movie star, what
were you doing?

- Well, before I
started booking gigs

I did a little odd jobs
around the city,

waitressing, stuff like that.

- Cool. Cool.
- You know.

- You ever worked in
like any bars

or a club or anything like that?

[glass banging]
- No. Just restaurants.

- Hmm. Word.

I don't know.
You just look so familiar.

- Oh yeah, I get that a lot.

- Nah, no.
Now I know you from somewhere.

- Nah, you don't know me.
[cutlery clanking]

- Rico, chill. The girl
says she don't know you.

- You know what, my bad.
You know, I'm a chill.

Chill. Hell, hey one of
y'all got a light, man?

- You ain't even touch
your food yet

and already you trying to smoke?

- Yeah.
I'm not too hungry anymore.

- Whatever.
- Nah, you straight bro.

You can light up outside.
- Alright, bet.

[suspenseful music]

- So what do you do?
- I am a business owner.

- Oh?
- Yeah.

- Okay, I love it.
[lighter flickering]

- Yo, what's up with that?
What happened inside?

- Nah, you don't never
listen to me anyway.

- Nah, you holding
something back.

- Yo, I always told you to
watch out for these girls.

ago up there at Purple City.

Me and Tree was in there

She came up to me, she's

She just moved here from outta

Then she proceeded

What the fuck is wrong with you?

What the fuck is wrong

Chill. You ain't never gonna
be able to beat me, all right?

Fuck is wrong with you.
- Get the fuck out!

- Oh, so I gotta leave? Huh?

Yo, don't run from the truth,
Corey.

- Man, the truth is you've
never been happy for me

ever since I decided to
stop taking shortcuts.

But guess what? I'm happy now.

I got a good woman
and ain't nobody

about to tell me different.

- Huh? A good woman, huh?

So Corey,

tell me one example
you have ever

had in your life of
a good woman.

Yo Shante, let's go.
[suspenseful music]

[Corey sobbing]
[suspenseful music]

- Fuck!

- We supposed to be over
there having a good time.

And you and this fool in the
backyard fighting and shit?

[Rico mumbling]

- Come on.
[alarm beeping]

Oh, that shit crazy. Yo.

Yo. This nigga really
gonna kick me out, yo?

[scoffs] Shit whack.

This nigga got me fucked up,
man.

[gun clicks]
- Welcome home, idiot boy.

Nobody move. Where are they?
[footsteps thudding]

[Shante mumbling]
Ah.

[suspenseful music]
[Shante grunting]

Nobody play no games now.

There's no one here.
Where are they?

- Rico. Don't say shit, Rico.

Rico, don't say shit.

- You know I like it better
when you work with me. You know?

- Fuck you. [scoffs]

- I may fuck you, and
you'll love it.

Where are they?

- I don't know what you
talking about man.

[gun firing]

- You better mind your word
unless you want to end up on it.

- He ain't gonna do it. He
ain't gonna do shit, Rico.

- You're like a dirty bitch.

I will blow your bomboclat
head off. Shut up your mouth.

Now where it, then?

Where it, then?

- It was downstairs
in the bedroom.

- What you saying, idiot
boy? Don't make me box you.

Where in the bedroom?

- It was in the closet.
It's a safe.

The code is 5897.

- Hey.
- You can't go nowhere.

- Yo. Can I take my shot?
- Rico.

- You're a zebra, you know?

A zebra with no stripes.

Me a lion.

You can't lock the lion out,

you have to lock the lion in,
idiot boy.

- Okay.
[both rustling]

Why, why, we good.

Shut up your mouth.
- Can you let me go now?

- We'll consider this even,
posole.

[suspenseful music]

Dirty little bitch.
[Shante grunting]

- You good?
- What the-

[suspenseful music]

- You wanna tell me
what happened out there?

- No.

- Okay.

Babe, put your ice pack back on.

- I told you I don't
need that shit.

- Whatever. Okay.

[nails tapping]

- Karma is patient.
Maybe this is your karma.

- Maybe it's yours.

- Three miscarriages
in two years?

Nah, I said I had mine already.

- That's not karma.

That's life.
- Life, okay.

All I can say about life
is I'm not trying

to live this one right now.

- Have you ever worked at a
strip club out here before?

- I knew this was coming.
- Oh, so it's true.

- Corey, I told you I was
doing odd jobs

in the city to make ends meet,
that's it.

- Yeah, but you never
told me you was stripping.

- It's really not that big of
a deal. It was just temporary.

- You lied to me.
- Because I didn't want you

to judge me How you're
judging me now.

I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.

- You sorry?
Don't be sorry, be better.

You know what?
Don't get me wrong baby.

I know what I was getting
myself involved into

when I fell in love
with you, but sometimes

you gotta know when to
wash your hands clean.

- What am I supposed to
do with clean hands? Huh?

- You could do anything, like
Corey did. Invest your money.

Open a restaurant, open a
clothing store,

a car wash, something.

- Dude. This is shit
is all I know, Shante.

- Uh-uh. I'm not accepting that.

This is all you choose to know.

[suspenseful music]

- Things are different now. I
put this on everything I love.

I will never dance again.

You mad?

- I thought I could trust you.

- You can.

- Stop.

Oh. What you-

Yo.

- I just wanna take care of you
the way you take care of me.

[escalating music]
[both sighing]

- [Woman] No, babe.
Look, I'm telling you.

- [Man] What you saying?

- You gonna have the
best time of your life.

- The best time.
- I swear.

- What happened last night?

I thought last night was
the best time?

- Baby, I'm telling you,
it's gonna be a good night.

- A good night?
- Yeah.

- Why you here?

What you doing home? Don't
you got school or something?

No ma'am. It's six
o'clock in the afternoon.

School got out at three.

Who the hell do you think you
talking to like that? Huh?

Go on up to bed right now.
It's grown folks time.

- Mr. Williams came by earlier.

- Mr.
Williams?

He talking about Billy?

Oh hell no. I knew y'all
was still messing around.

- Baby, no, no, no, no, no.

Babe, look.
- You know what?

You come find me when he
cut you loose.

- Babe, no. He don't know
what he's talking about.

Baby, we had plans.
- Shut up.

- You see what you done did?

You mess up everything.

- I'm sorry, mama.

- I'm sorry.
Mama. You ain't sorry.

- I love you.

- You don't love me.
Don't nobody love me.

Don't nobody love you either.

[intense music]

- Corey, Corey.

Corey, are you okay?

You barely touched
your breakfast.

- I'm good.
- You need to eat something.

You want me to order
you some lunch?

- I can eat some cereal.
- No, you need a real food.

I'm gonna order you
something from Fresh Eats.

You still like that place,
right?

- Yeah, it is cool.
- Cool, and don't forget

about that marketing
meeting at five.

- Oh yeah.
What's that about again?

- It's about getting some
promo done for the app.

- I have to go to that?

- Yes you do. It's important.

You need to be in on
these decisions.

- Hey Kayla, can I ask
you a question?

- Yeah, sure.
- You have friends, right?

- Of course I have friends.
- I mean like how many

of 'em do you know that
actually use the app?

- Are you kidding me?

Everyone in Atlanta uses it.
It's crazy.

- How about you? Do you use it?

- I have a boyfriend, but
if I was single,

I mean, probably, why not?

- Yeah, why not?

[footsteps receding]
[keyboard clacking]

- Yeah, it's all about
being seen these days, man.

You know the way of the world.

- Yeah, I do.
- All right.

- Corey, this is Mr. Bates.

- How you doing?
- All right, Mr. Spencer.

Nice to meet you man.

I really love what you're
doing with the place.

- Please, call me Corey.

I see you met my executive
assistant, Kayla.

- Oh yeah, Kayla.
She's been great, man.

She's really been on the ball.

- Well, thank you.
- We've been in correspondence

these past few weeks, man.

And lemme tell you, you
got a good assistant here.

- Thank you.
- Ah, yeah. So?

- All right, so let's get to it.

- All right, let's get to it.

So I'm the owner of Hype Media.

It's a production company
that prides itself

in helping businesses
like A-T-L-U-V expand

through visual marketing,
social media campaigns,

that kind of thing.

We've been following
you for a while.

We really like what
you're doing with the app.

Take a look at that.

- Oh yeah.
- Big numbers.

- We've been putting in
work this year.

- Absolutely, man. And
it really shows, man.

As you know, Atlanta's a
big movie town right now.

So what we really want to do

is put your app in front
of the people.

All right, so we're
thinking about getting you

into some product
placement slots.

- Product placement?

- Yeah, so on top of
commercials,

we've also ventured
into TV and film.

We basically just promote
the app within some

of our select films
and TV shows.

And I'm telling you, it's
gonna run the numbers up.

- All right, sounds
good. When do we start?

- When do you wanna start?

I'll have my people send
over some quotes

and we can go from there.

- Straight to the point.
- Straight to the point.

That's how we do.
- I like your style.

- I like your style brother.
- All right.

- All right, Kayla, miss Kayla.
Pleasure.

All right, you can keep that.
That's yours, that's yours.

So I'll call you next
week and we'll be in touch

and yeah, let's just do it, man.

- Thank you so much.

Have a great day.

What was that?

- What? It was a meeting?

- Yeah, but you didn't
really put him in a corner.

You didn't ask him
anything about a budget.

Quotes on estimates,
turnaround times, nothing.

- I told you I ain't wanna
do this meeting anyway.

- Look, I don't know
what's going on with you,

but you are the founder
and CEO of A-T-L-U-V.

You need to lock the fuck in
and focus. Do you hear me?

- Yes ma'am.

- You're not just in
your office.

[gentle music]

[door closing]

- I don't see how
increasing spending

is gonna help us save
money on the back end.

- Look, if we're gonna
increase spending,

it can't go to marketing.

We have no staff, right?
[faint ringing]

I'm just busting down
algorithms by myself. All right?

I need more people. It's just
me, I'm working by myself.

We need more staff. I
need more programmers.

I need, I need coffee.

- [Rico] Tell me one example

you have ever had in your
life of a good woman.

- So over your head.

- But you are the
founder and CEO of ATLUV.

You need to lock the fuck
in and focus, focus, focus.

[suspenseful music]

[faint buzzing]

- I went to the store.

I went to the store.
It's a little bit better.

I went to the store.
Yeah, whatever.

[gulping loudly]
Mm. So delicious.

I went to the-
[door unlocking]

Finally. You're home.

- Yeah, I had a long day,
had a lot of meetings.

I had to work on something
with the IT department.

- Sounds fascinating.
Tell me more.

- I just told you everything.

- Well, who was the
meeting with?

- You ask a lot of
questions. You know that?

- What's wrong with
that? I miss you all day.

I just wanna talk, you know,
communicate.

- And sometimes after a
long day of work,

I don't want to talk.

I just want to chill.
Peace and quiet.

- Damn. Okay.

[mumbling quietly]

- What you working
on over there?

- Nope, I don't feel
like talking.

I'm gonna just sit here
and mind my business

and be grumpy like you.

But since you asked, I
got another audition.

I just been going
over these sides.

- That's what's up. What
project is this for?

- Some untitled Hype
Media Project.

- Hype Media. Damn.

That's who I had the
meeting with earlier.

- Are you serious?
- Yeah.

I met with a guy, his
name was Steven Bates.

- Steven Bates?
Like, the Steven Bates?

- Oh, word. You heard of him?

- Yeah, Hype Media is one

of the biggest production
companies in Atlanta.

They just signed a ton

of different streaming deals
on all type of platforms.

- Small world.
- Babe, help me out here.

Put in a good word for me.

- Put in a good word. Like what?

- Like call Steven Bates

and tell him your girlfriend
is auditioning for him.

- Right.
- And if he doesn't hire me,

he gets no deal.

- Yeah. Like I'm gonna
give that man an ultimatum.

- Well, like you don't
have to say it like that,

but reword it a bit.

- I just met the man.

I'm not about to jeopardize
my credibility by being pushy.

I hate that type of shit.
- You're such a fucking pussy.

- What you just say to me?
- Did I fucking stutter?

You are such a fucking pussy.

- Get your hand outta my face.
- After all I do for you,

you can't make one little
phone call to help me out?

- And what do you actually
do for me Sierra? Huh?

You think good sex added value
to my life as a working man?

You barely keep this
mother fucker clean.

When I come home from a
long day of work,

ain't even no dinner
on the stove

and you damn sure can't
go half on the bills.

So please, inform me what
the fuck it is

that you do that's so
beneficial to me.

[phone ringing]

- Who's that?
- Nobody.

- Who's nobody?

- That's my assistant from work.

- Then why is she
calling you so much?

- I don't know.

- Answer it.
- I don't feel like talking.

- Mm, okay. So funny.
[phone ringing]

- I put it on FaceTime so
we can both see the bitch.

Hmm. Talk, talk.

- Hey, what's up?
- Hey,

did you mean to put
us on FaceTime?

- No, but it's all good.
What's up?

- Hey, I just was
calling to apologize

about earlier, I was
way out of line.

I know I stepped out
of my bounds

but I was a little frustrated.

I apologize.

- No, it's cool.
You had a good point.

- But I know you have a
lot going on right now.

I just need to step up
more at those meetings

while you focus on the IT stuff.

- It's all good.
- Thanks for understanding.

I'm not gonna hold you up.
One last question though.

Did you eat dinner?
- Nah, not yet.

- Corey, I'm not trying to
be your mother or nothing,

but you gotta do a better job
at taking care of yourself.

You haven't eaten
nothing all day.

You didn't eat the
breakfast I got you.

You didn't eat the
lunch I got you.

Now you telling me you
didn't eat dinner either?

- Trust me. He gonna eat bitch.

And we don't need you worrying
about his eating habits.

Just keep making copies
and filing fucking papers

and I'll take care of
everything else.

Here. Hang up.
- Kayla. I am so sorry.

- What the fuck you
apologizing to that bitch for?

- I'm gonna explain
everything at work tomorrow.

- Hang up.
- Okay. You have a good night.

Yo. You are fucking crazy.

- Oh, I see what it is now.

I see why you come home
with an attitude not wanting

to talk, 'cause you got your
little side bitch at work.

- Yo. You outta order right now.

- Is that your boo?
- No, that ain't my boo.

That's my assistant.

- Then why is she worried
about if you ate or not?

- Man, Kayla is good people.

She started the company with me.

- Bet. Y'all fucking?
- Man. Hell no.

She got a boyfriend.

- So the only reason why
y'all not fucking

is 'cause she got a boyfriend?

- Yo. You are fucking crazy.
- I am. And you love it.

- I can't do this. You gotta go.

- Nigga. I ain't going nowhere.

Shit, this is my house
now. You get the fuck out.

Matter of fact, go in the
kitchen and make me some dinner.

[intense music]
[indistinct mumbling]

[intense music]
[indistinct mumbling]

- [Corey] Get the fuck
out of my house.

Sierra. Sierra.

Get the fuck out of my house.
- Corey, get the fuck out

of my face, fuck you.
- Fuck you.

[both yelling]
[intense music]

[music escalating]

[intense music fading]
[animal vocalizing]

[fist knocking]

[suspenseful music]
[gun cocking]

[scoffs] This nigga.

[alarm beeping]
- What's up you?

- I need to smoke.

- All right, bet. It was
cool Shante, it's just Corey.

- Damn, I can't believe I
went this long

without smoking weed,
I missed it.

- So what nigga, just
came over here

to smoke my weed or what?

- Yo Rick, Shante ever
seen you cry before?

- Once? Why, what's up?

- When I was a kid,
my mother used

to tell me little
boys don't cry.

I don't think I cried
since I was like seven.

- Nah, everybody gotta
cry sometime.

- I don't even think
I can anymore.

[Rico sighing]

Yo, think I can crash
here tonight?

- Yeah, man, no doubt.
Spike it right there.

Shante cooking, so, you
can still try her food.

But you can finish that.

I'm about to take my ass
back to sleep, later.

- Yeah.
[Rico grunting]

Hey Rick.

- Yeah?

- I'm sorry, man.

- Nah, nigga you good.

You know I always respect you

for getting out and
doing your thing.

I just wanna see you keep
pushing forward, hey.

What?
- Appreciate that.

- Go on.
- Go on.

[somber music]

[Corey sighing]

[somber music]

[faint buzzing]
[cars honking]

[food sizzling]
[alarm beeping]

- [Alarm] Front door.

- Babe. Wait, come back.

- I gotta get ready for work.
- But I made you breakfast.

- I'm good on that.

- I really am sorry
about last night.

I had a little too
much to drink.

- I gotta take a shower.
- No, babe, sit down. Eat.

- How is it?
- It is good actually.

- Good. I've been practicing.

See? I can throw down
for my baby.

- You ain't gotta do all that.
- Do all what?

- All that fake shit.

Fake acting like you
care about me,

acting like you care
about my wellbeing

or my business affairs.

Because if you did,
none of that shit

would've happened like
how it did last night.

- I don't wanna argue.

I just wanna be a better
woman for you.

Where did you go last night?
- To Rico's house.

- You sure?
- Yes, I'm sure.

- Okay, I trust you.

How can I make this right?

I wanna apologize to
your friend, too. Kayla.

- I told you that's not my
friend. She's a coworker.

- Well, I wanna
apologize to her.

Maybe you can invite her
over to the house

and we can all go out
to dinner or something.

You, me, her and her boyfriend.

- That sounds like a
terrible idea.

[dishes clanking]
- Babe.

I'm just trying to
be diplomatic.

- Yo, relax.

- You relax.

I just want you.

[Sierra moaning]
All of you.

To myself.

[gentle music]
[both moaning]

- Man.
[door knocking]

Come in.
[keyboard clicking]

- Hey.

Steven Bates just sent
over some quotes.

I just forwarded them to you.
- Thanks.

Hey, I just wanted to
apologize about last night.

Me and my girlfriend,
we live together

and she felt a little insecure

about you calling that
late and she overreacted.

- Oh no, I should be the
one apologizing.

If some girl called my
boyfriend that late at night,

work related or not,
I'd be upset.

I just gotta learn
my boundaries.

- No worries.

- Well, I'm about to go
grab some food.

Would you like for me to
get you anything?

- Where you going?
- I don't know yet,

but I'm craving pizza.

- You know what? I've been
in this office all day.

I'm gonna roll with you.

- You sure about that?

You know I could just
bring you something back.

- Cut it out. Coworkers go to
lunch together all the time.

It's completely professional.
- All right now.

Remember our word of the day,
boundaries.

- I am well within my bounds.
- Mhm, I bet.

[soft upbeat music]
[indistinct murmuring]

- How is it?

- I mean, ain't no
New York pizza,

but it's good for Atlanta.

- Oh yeah. I forgot you
used to live out there.

- Yeah, some of the best
years of my life.

- Really?
- Mhm.

- I mean, I've been there from
time to time, but I hate it.

My boyfriend's actually
from out there.

- Oh yeah? What part?
- Staten Island.

- Staten Island? Ain't
nobody from Staten Island.

He might as well be from
Antarctica or something like

that.

- Uh-uh don't do that. Wu Tang
is from Staten Island, right?

- Yeah. But that's all they got.

And besides, ODB was
from Brooklyn.

- ODB was insane.

- We all walk that fine line
of insanity from time to time.

- You're so weird.
- Damn, what?

- Not in a bad way, in
like a good way.

Intriguing, mysterious,
complicated.

So did you get a chance
to look at those quotes?

- I don't wanna talk about work.

- So what do you
wanna talk about?

- You, I realized the other
day that we worked together

for many years and I
don't know much about you.

I only know like the work you.

- Isn't that kind of all
you need to know?

- Yes and no.

For example, who I am at work

ties into who I am
outside of work.

And you monitoring my
eating habits,

worrying about if I eat or not
has nothing to do with work.

So if you could be privy to
who I am outside of work,

I should be able to be
privy to who you are too.

- Okay. What do you wanna know?

- You like sports?
- Hate sports.

- What's your favorite movie?
- The Lion King.

- The Lion King?
That ain't no damn movie.

It's a cartoon.
- Excuse me.

Cartoons can be movies,
too. Restate the question.

- What's your favorite
non-cartoon movie?

- Scarface.
- Get the fuck out of here.

- Mr. Spencer. Language Police.

I don't feel
comfortable with you

using such profanities with me.

- I talk like this all the time.

- No, you never talk
like this in the office.

You never like, cuss at me.

- I'm not cussing at you.

I'm just calling you out
on your bullshit,

because Scarface is my
favorite movie

and ain't no way we got
the same favorite movie.

- I bet I know more
quotes than you do.

- Bring it on, man.
- Start it off.

- Okay, "Say hello to my
little friend."

- Of course, the most basic.
I have one.

"This town is like one big pussy

just waiting to get fucked."
- Oh.

Oh, let me get HR on the phone.
Hello, HR?

We got somebody talking
crazy in here.

- I am HR.
- Fair enough.

Okay, "All I got in this
world is my balls

and my word and I don't
break 'em for nobody."

- Mm, okay.

"I always tell the
truth, even when I lie."

- [Corey] Oh, that's a good one.

Okay, lemme see if I
remember this one.

"Okay, here's the story. I come
from the gutter, it's okay.

I got no education, but I'm
making connections in the street

and if I find the right woman,
I go straight to the top."

- Okay, I like that. All right.

"You don't have the guts
to be who you wanna be."

- [Both] "You need
people like me.

You need people like me
so you can point

your fucking fingers and
say, that's the bad guy.

So what that make you? Good?

[both laughing loudly]

- Okay. All right.
[Corey giggling]

[phone ringing repeatedly]

- Hello?
- Damn.

You can't answer your phone?

I gotta call your job
to talk to you.

- My phone was on silent.

- Look, I need you to
watch Amira tonight

when I get off of work, I'm
going out with some friends.

- [Corey] Hell yeah. I
can't wait to see my baby.

But I'm gonna let you know,

I live at home with my
girlfriend now.

- Boy, I do not care about
that. I just need a babysitter.

- Bye.

Get these spirits up
out of here.

[suspenseful music]
[lighter flicking]

[footsteps receding]
[suspenseful music]

- I got some pizza
downstairs if you want it.

What's wrong?

- I didn't get the Hype Media
job and it's all your fault.

How is it my fault?

- All you had to do was apply
a little bit of pressure

and make a phone call
to Steven Bates.

But no, you don't actually want

to help me get my career
off the ground.

You're scared I'll leave you.

- Scared?
- Yeah.

- Surely I've been a lot
of things in my life,

but scared is not one of them.

- You're such a narcissist.

- It's clear you don't know
what the fuck a narcissist is.

- Oh.
So now you're calling me stupid?

Everybody's just calling me,
I'm sorry.

- You're not stupid. You just
stupid when it comes to me.

- What does that even mean?

So I'm stupid for
talking to you?

- That's not what I'm saying.

- That is so mean.
People are just so mean.

Earlier today, the
casting director

basically called me fat and
now you're calling me stupid.

- You're not fat.
- Yes, I am.

The first thing the
casting director said

when I walked in was, "Damn,
she thick."

- Babe, you're not fat
and you're not stupid.

You're smart, beautiful,
and talented.

Your only problem is you need

to learn how to control
your emotions.

- But my emotions are
what make me who I am.

And you're right, I am beautiful
and smart and talented,

and I desire to do more
than just exist.

Babe, does my ass look small?

- No.
- What about my stomach?

Don't you think it's too big?
- No.

- Well, I wanna go see a doctor.

I want Lipo and a BBL and it's
not even that much anymore.

Do you think that's something

that you'd be willing
to invest in?

- I wish you'd just work out.

- It takes too long.

- Yeah, but it'll be natural

and it'll give you something
to do during the day.

There's a lot of good
trainers in Atlanta.

That's something I would
wanna put my money into.

- I guess I'll give it a try.

Thanks for your support, babe.

- I got some good news.
- What is it?

- Amira.
She gonna stop by tonight.

- [Sierra] How is
that good news?

- I thought you
wanted to meet her.

- Corey, I hate kids.

- I thought you wanted
kids eventually.

- Yeah, but no time soon. Hell,
I can't mess this body up.

I haven't even won my Oscar yet.

- She'll be here at six.

- Yippee.

[door closing]
[Sierra screaming loudly]

Get out.
The door was closed

for a reason.

- What are those?
- Percocet. Want one?

- Fuck no. I don't want one.
- Okay, well leave me alone.

- How long you been doing this?

- Since you knew me.

- You addicted?

- No, I just like the
way they make me feel.

- That's the same shit
my mother used to say.

- Oh, shut up and please do
not compare me to your mother.

That shit is weird.

You sure you don't want one?

Hm. It may help you fuck better.

[suspenseful music]

[door knocking]

- Hi, is my daddy here?

[door slamming]
- I know you just

ain't slammed the door
in my daughter's face.

What is wrong with you?
- I didn't know who it was.

I'm sorry.

- Daddy, I missed you.
- Hey baby girl.

I missed you too. Come inside.

Give me some.
[hands slapping]

Now baby, I got somebody
special I want you to meet.

This is Daddy's good friend,
Miss Sierra.

- Hi Miss Sierra.
Pleased to meet you.

- Hi.

I don't like this.

- What did I do?

- You didn't do
nothing wrong baby.

Miss Sierra's just high.
I mean, shy.

Come on.
You wanna watch some cartoons?

- Yay.
Can we watch

Princess Pony Girls?

That's my favorite.
- Of course.

You know what goes with
cartoons?

Cookies.

Your other favorite.
- Cookies.

- [Together] Cookies, cookies,
cookies.

[cartoon chattering]
- Got you right now.

[silly cartoon sound effects]

Amira, here you go.
[sound effects continue]

- Yay.
[sound effects continue]

Cookies are so good.

- They are.
I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

Okay? I'll be right back.
[sound effects continue]

[sound effects continue]
[Amira giggling]

- Loser.
[sound effects continue]

Here we go again. No.
[suspenseful music]

[silly cartoon sound effects]

- Hey, I was watching that.

- Let me set this straight.

Corey may be your daddy,
but I call him daddy too.

Matter of fact, that's my daddy

just as much as it is yours.

- Oh, so you're like my sister.

- No, I'm not your sister
and I'm not your mama either,

but just how he takes
care of you,

he takes care of me too.

This is my house now and
don't you ever forget it.

- Want a cookie?

- No.
[suspenseful music]

[music escalating]
[TV chattering]

- Can you take the hat off?

At least at the table. Please?

Thank you.

[silverware scraping]

So how was your day?

- It was cool.
Booked a few new clients.

- Good.

- So you're not gonna
ask me how my day went?

- How was your day, Kayla?

- It was good, actually.
- Hmm?

- I went to lunch with my
boss for the first time.

- Okay.

- Hoping he makes me
CFO one of these days.

I feel a promotion
coming on though.

- Hmm. Cool.

- TJ, what's wrong?

It's like we can barely hold
a conversation these days.

- Probably because all you
ever talk about is work.

When's the last time
you ever tried

to meet me halfway and
watch a game with me?

Show some fucking interest in
anything I give a fuck about.

- Babe, that's not fair.
You know I hate sports.

We could literally talk
about anything else.

- I don't know, it's just,

after all these years, it
just feels like,

it feels like shit's
getting old, that's all.

- How's your dinner?

- The salmon?

What? The same salmon
you cook every night?

It's fucking delicious.
You know it's delicious.

It's just as delicious
as it was yesterday.

And the salmon tastes just as
delicious as the night before.

It's some crazy shit.

- Okay, okay.
I get it, I'm a workaholic.

I promise to start prioritizing
us. How about this?

How about I cook you a
dinner tomorrow

for your birthday,
whatever you want.

Get sexy. Turn on some music,
you know, make a movie.

- Okay, now you're talking.
- Yeah.

What you wanna eat?

- What I want to eat? Okay.

Spaghetti.
- Spaghetti it is.

- Yeah. I like that.
[both giggling]

- I know I don't tell you this
a lot, but I'm proud of you.

- Look, I just want us to
be happy, okay? That's it.

- I know baby. Me too.

[gentle music]

- And the salmon is
delicious. I'm being honest.

[gentle music]

- Bye baby.
[door closing]

Well, that was a disaster.

- What, are you kidding me?
We had such a great time.

I love that kid.
She's so freaking cute.

- Y'all argued the whole
time over the damn TV.

Like a God damn cadot.

- I thought it went
great. Oh, and guess what?

I found a personal trainer.
We start sessions tomorrow.

- That's what's up.

Make sure you turn off
the TV. I'm going to bed.

- All right.
Well I love you babe.

- Yeah, you too.
[TV chattering]

[footsteps receding]

[Sierra laughing]
[gentle music]

[Sierra groaning]
[music continues]

[blender whirring]

- Babe. You want a smoothie?

- No, I'm good.
- I don't know what it is.

I just feel so
refreshed this morning.

[phone ringing]

- Hello?
- Yes. Hi.

I'd like to speak to Mr.
Corey Spencer, please.

- Speaking.
- Hey, Mr. Spencer.

This is Mike Goldblum of
1111 Technical Enterprises.

- Is this a joke?
- I can assure you it's not.

Mr. Spencer, when I first
came across your app,

I ran to my team and I said,
"This,

this is the type of product
that we can stand behind."

ATLUV is going to
revolutionize dating

all across the world, and
we wanna be a part of it.

- I don't know what to say. Wow.

Yeah, hell yeah. I would love
for you guys to be investors.

- [Mr. Goldblum] Mr. Spencer,

not only would we
like to invest,

we'd like to buy.
- Oh, I mean, I'm honored,

but I'm not really thinking
about selling right now.

- You know, I remember when I
was developing my first app.

Back then, it was just
a mere website.

I received an offer to
sell it and decided not to.

Still haunts me to this day,

one of the biggest
blunders of my career.

These apps, they're a
dime a dozen.

You make one today, you
sell it tomorrow,

you make another one tomorrow,

you sell it the day after that.

Add infinitum, bro.

- I mean, I definitely
will be interested

in selling at some point.

It just doesn't seem
like the right time yet.

- We're willing to
offer you seven figures.

- Seven figures?

- Upper seven figures.

You don't have to say anything
right now, just sleep on it.

- [Corey] Will do.
Thanks for the call.

- Hey, you got
something good here.

We want to help make it great.
Talk soon.

[phone beeping]

- Did I just hear you say
something about seven figures?

- That was Mike Goldblum.
He wants to buy ATLUV.

- Why don't you seem excited?

I mean, you are gonna
take the deal, right?

- I gotta think about it.
- What's there to think about?

- It's not that simple.

I at least gotta see the
deal in black and white.

- Corey. This is what
you've been working toward.

The app is only making money
off of ads here and there.

This can be a game
changer for you.

- You're right, you're right.
- I am.

- Fuck it.
- Fuck it. Sell that shit.

- Fuck it.
- Sell that shit.

- I'm gonna sell. I'm gonna
sell. And then I can work on

that new streaming app
I've been developing.

[Sierra screaming happily]

- Oh my God, baby, I'm so
proud of you. You are a beast.

- What you got going on today?
- I start with my trainer.

Trying to get my body
right for my man.

- Don't do it for me.
Do it for you.

- Shit, at this point
I'm doing it

for these damn
casting directors.

- Yeah, we gotta celebrate.

Why don't we go to
Luigi's later?

- I fucking love Luigi's
and I fucking love you.

- Do you really love me?

Or do you just love
what I could do for you?

- I love you.

Do you really love me?

Or do you love how I
make you feel?

- Have a good day.
- You too.

[suspenseful music]

- Girl, I'm about to get my
boat.

Mhm.

[gentle music]
[cars driving]

[door knocking]

- [Kayla] Hey.

I sent you some casting options

for the commercial next week.

- Kayla, come on. You know I
don't care about that stuff.

- You do understand
this is my job,

to keep you in the loop, right?

- And who you pick, I pick.
I trust you.

- Got it. Pick anybody.

Gotcha.
- Speaking of trust,

I wanted to run something
by you. Close the door.

- Okay.

- So I'm thinking about
selling ATLUV.

- Why would you do that?

- I got a call from
Mike Goldblum.

He wants to buy his out,
seven figures.

- Mike Goldblum will
be a terrible partner.

He has like 50 million apps

and only a few of them
get the proper attention.

- Yeah.
But I think he'll do

right by us.

And just think with the money,

we could expand to other areas.

- It's about ownership and in
the direction we're headed,

we could be grossing over
10 figures next year.

Lesson number one,

never underestimate the
other guy's greed.

- Why you always gotta
make so much sense?

- Not everything that
makes sense works

and not everything that
works makes sense.

- You're weird.
- Good weird?

Well, today's my
boyfriend's birthday

and I was trying to go home

and surprise him before
he got off work.

So I mean, I'm pretty done
with everything around here.

You mind if I head out early?

- Yeah, sure.
That's sweet of you.

I was thinking before you go,

you want to go grab some lunch,

get a slice of pizza
or something?

- We had a good time
the other day,

but I don't think we
should make a habit

of it due to our work
relationship, you know?

- Yeah, I know.

- Thank you.

- He's lucky.
- Huh?

- Your boyfriend, he's lucky

to have a strong woman
like you by his side.

- And you're lucky to
have a strong woman

like me as your assistant.

[door closing]

[phone ringing]

- Mr. Spencer, wasn't expecting
to hear from you so soon.

Good news, I hope.

- Yeah, I just
wanted to call you

and let you know I'm not gonna
be able to take that deal.

[phone beeping]

[rain pouring]
[faint buzzing]

[windshield wipers whirring]
[rain pouring]

[car beeping]
[rain pouring]

[thunder booming]
[rain pouring]

[alarm dinging]
- Front door.

[water rushing]
- Babe.

What are you doing home?

Thought you weren't supposed
to get home 'til five.

- Corey let me leave early.

What about you?
Why are you home?

- My last client at the
gym canceled.

So I was gonna surprise you
and make you some lunch.

- But you just said you
didn't expect me to be home.

- Yeah, but I knew you'd be
home eventually, so you know,

I just wanted to make sure
it's all ready for you.

- But you never cook.

And you also knew I was making
you dinner for your birthday.

So why in the hell are
you making us lunch?

- Look Kayla, I just wanted

to do something nice for you,
that's all.

- Okay.

- Right, right. Fridge
looks pretty empty to me.

So what the fuck were
you gonna make?

- Sandwiches. I was gonna
make us some sandwiches.

- Sandwiches?
- Yes babe.

I was gonna make us, you know,

some sandwiches.
- You we're gonna

make us sandwiches?
- Yeah.

- So why the fuck do you
keep washing that pot?

- Because I was going
to grill them.

- You were gonna grill 'em?
- Yes,

I was gonna grill
the sandwiches.

Kayla, you ever heard of a
grilled cheese?

[Kayla laughing]

- Oh my god.
You think I'm stupid?

- No.
- It makes sense.

It makes sense, right?

Okay, so you left work early

to come home to make
us sandwiches

that you're gonna
grill in a pot,

in your boxer's, half naked.

- I just got out of the shower.

Gotta be clean, you know?

- I know that makes
sense to you.

Okay, so whose car is
that outside?

- What car?
There's a car outside?

- TJ, do you have another
woman in my house?

- Baby, no. No, why the
hell would I do that?

That's stupidity.
I wouldn't do that.

- But you're one stupid
mother fucker.

So let's see.
- Kayla. Babe, don't.

Kayla, where you going baby?

- Don't put your hands on me.
- Oh, damn. Okay.

Look, hands free. Hands
free, I ain't going to touch.

Look, you ain't going
to find nothing.

- Where is she?

Where is she?
- You search all you want.

You ain't gonna find-
- Is she in the laundry room?

I know she's not in my
bedroom, in our room.

Is she in the bathroom?
- I told you no one's here.

[phone dinging]
[phone swooshing]

- Don't tell me she's
in the closet.

- I don't know what that was.
- Please don't hurt me.

- Bitch, shut the fuck up
and stay in the closet.

- Look, I'm sorry. Okay, Kayla?

I really am.

- You're not sorry baby.
No, no, no, no, no.

You're not sorry.

You're sorry you got caught,
but it's okay. Who is she?

- She's one of my clients. Okay.

We just had lunch after our
session. Had a few drinks.

It doesn't even fucking matter.
Okay?

It shouldn't have happened.
I fucked up, okay?

And I'm sorry, Kayla.
I really am.

- [Sierra] He's right.
It was all a big mistake.

I'm gonna just get my
stuff and go.

- Well, I'll be damned.

We went to lunch and all
he talked about was you.

He really loves you.
- See? I love you.

I love you.
- So sorry.

- I fucking love you.
- Shut the fuck up.

- [Sierra] I'm so sorry.

- You don't even recognize me,
do you?

[suspenseful music]

- Oh my God, no.

- Hey.
- Oh my God. I'm so sorry.

Please, please don't tell him.

Please, please don't.

Please, please, please,
please, please, please.

I am begging you.
- Okay, okay, okay, okay.

- I am so sorry.
- Okay, okay, okay, okay.

- I will do anything. Please.
- What is going on?

- You can't do shit for me.
- Please. I'll do anything.

Please just don't say
that I'm here.

- I'm gonna tell you
what's going on.

I'm gonna walk back down to
my car. I'm going to leave.

I'll be back in two hours.

When I get back, I expect for
you, your little gym buddy,

all of your personal belongings-

- Kayla, you talking crazy.
- To be gone.

- You're talking crazy.
- Gone.

Put my key underneath the mat

and we just gonna keep
it moving, okay?

- Okay, okay.
Okay, can I say something?

Please don't do this right now.
Okay?

I don't even care about it.
- I don't care about you.

- See, we don't give a fuck
about each other. So guess what?

I only love you, okay?
So please, please.

It was a mistake. I love you
and want only you, Kayla.

- Why? Why?

- Don't worry about loving me,
baby.

You need to learn to
love yourself.

Two hours to fuck off.
- Fuck. What did you do?

What did you do, Sierra?
Fuck, what did you do?

What did you do?
What did you do, Sierra?

What did you do, Sierra?
[somber music]

Was he around?

- I never met him.
