Can't nobody tell me shit about my penthouse.

Do you mean my penthouse?

Previously on Suspense.

The water line.

Sabrina, you're the light of this group.

It's been mighty dark since your accident.

Got jokes.

I gotta definitely find out who I'm getting into bed with.

Figuratively.

Okay. Andy, tell me what happened. Were you sexually assaulted?

She's definitely struggling right now.

Did she tell you what happened?

She has some things.

We are going to call the police.

Okay? No, Andy.

Before.

Because you were raped.

I wasn't raped.

Danny. Okay, but this is just as bad. Danny, come on.

I'm serious.

I thought I'm off. I cracked him in the head with my frying pan.

Swarm bruise.

So that's how you ended up with all those bruises?

Yeah.

Danny, who did this?

Why? Danny,

you know why.

There's just some guy from the grocery store.

The grocery store. I am going to call the police.

I'm not talking to the police, Danny.

Danny, we cannot let him get away with almost raping you.

I'm going to forget the whole thing happened.

No, Danny, no.

Look, you need to report his ass, okay? He can't get away with just forcing

himself on people like that.

The team was right.

We cannot let him get away with it.

No.

Andy, I said I don't want to do it.

I don't want to talk about this anymore.

Y 'all can just leave.

Now what? Huh? What was that look?

What, Danny? That look.

We do not believe you're being honest about what happened.

Everyone just leave me alone.

We won't leave you alone because we care about you, Danny.

Danny, we're not trying to offend you.

It's too late for that.

Look, I just want you to know that we're here for you, okay? It's obvious you're

going through something.

I don't want to talk about it.

Okay? I'm fine. I'm good.

Danny, you don't mean that.

Yes, I do.

What is this? What are you trying to be, Sabrina?

Danny. Because you're not.

You know what?

What?

Ain't nobody trying to beat Sabrina.

I don't know.

I happen to like it.

I know what this is, Danny.

Okay, you're laughing now because you wanted to leave so you can go back in

bathroom and do whatever the hell they said. No, she needs to hear this.

Danny, you have friends that love you and care for you, okay?

And we want you to know that you're not in this alone.

The demon's right.

We love you.

So you can throw jabs and lash out all you want.

But your friends are right here, Danny.

Okay.

All right. I got it.

Y 'all can go.

I didn't mean to scare anybody.

How'd you get in my house?

I grabbed the spare key.

I was only trying to help.

I've done enough.

Danny, you've called everybody. You've called Patricia.

You've called Fatima. You've called Andy.

Who are you going to call next?

You can't call Sabrina.

Danny, stop it.

Danny, you really need to talk to him, okay?

It's obvious that he cares about you, regardless of what happened before.

Despite everything I do.

Whatever.

Danny, maybe you should tell him what almost happened that night.

He already knows that something's going on.

You all want to know what happened?

The other night, I was almost raped.

Almost.

Danny.

And I thought him off.

All right?

Cracked his head open with my frying pan.

That's why I'm jumping.

That's why I'm a little slower than usual.

That's why I'm bruised.

Now that everybody's up to date, I would love for every one of you fine, caring,

well -intentioned people to get out of my house so I can lay on that new

that Tony gave for me.

Is that all right?

Because y 'all could be focusing on the woman in the coma right now who's

fighting for her life.

Tammy.

No, no, it's fine.

Danny, we can't help Sabrina right now.

But we can help you.

Okay.

Everybody good?

Well caught up?

Can you all please go home?

I'm going to get out of here.

You know, I'm here for you, girl.

You don't have to do this alone. I just don't want you feeling violated by us

not respecting your wishes.

Thank you.

Thank you for

coming.

I love you, girl.

You call me, okay?

Yeah. No, I'm serious, Danny.

I will.

Thanks for calling us, Tony.

Tony, that means you too.

Tony.

Eve.

Look, Danny.

I don't care how much you fuss and cuss.

I'm not going anywhere until I know that you're good.

I'm good, Tony. I promise.

If you were good, you wouldn't have come to the door with a knife.

Are you afraid you might come back to try again?

Tony, I don't know.

For my own peace of mind.

And so maybe you can rest better.

Let me stay on the sofa tonight.

Okay? That way I can be here.

Just in case.

Okay, Tony.

And, um...

I can put on some noise -canceling headphones so that you can enjoy some

-night TV, do some reruns without having to worry about disturbing me.

You enjoy, okay?

Look, Daddy, I'm going to be right here, okay?

Got to dig quickly over to the right, dribbling up to the side corner where a

double team awaits him.

Throwing it up to the top of the key, he fakes the shot to get his man in the

air. Horrible.

Drives down the lane.

Do you even try?

What's up, baby?

Hey, don't call these women.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's up?

Just hold me.

Oh, God, hey, sit down, sit down.

Come on, come on, click it out.

That is Danny.

What happened to Danny?

I don't know. I don't know.

What? Okay, well, just talk about it. Come on, like.

I mean, all I know is that she was attacked.

What?

She said that some guy tried to rape her, but she fought him off.

Are you serious right now?

I don't think she's telling the truth, though.

Okay.

What do you not think she's telling the truth about?

About actually fighting him off before he actually raped her.

I mean, we got so much shit that we have no control over.

What we let inside of us should not be one of those things.

She did say she stopped him before it happened, all right?

She said she did, but Danny was ready. She doesn't want to face it.

What was they doing?

It was some random guy.

I think it's somebody we either know or know of.

Danny was just so...

defensive and angry.

She was talking crazy to everybody.

I'm sorry, babe.

I don't know. I'm fine. It's just, it's teeny. I don't know what to do, how to

help her.

Shit.

Just be there.

I'm trying, Zach. I'm trying.

Hey, hey, I see you always trying. Hey.

Let it out.

Ever since I know you, you just let it out.

You don't always gotta be tough.

So why didn't they?

This has happened to her before.

I don't know how to help her.

It's gonna be alright.

It's gonna be alright.

Go on, bitch.

Let's get you some rest. I know you're tired.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

What

you

doing up so early?

Good morning.

I'm getting ready for the thing that I go to every day called a job.

That's what's up.

You know the thing that you should be up early searching for?

Yeah. I got a couple spots I'm gonna check out tomorrow.

Don't worry.

I'm not.

It's a nice fit.

You like it?

Mm -hmm.

You look better on me, though.

Mm -hmm. The girl in your dream.

I'm just saying.

You can feel it out better.

I'm the original.

You wish.

Good luck on your job search. Oh, and Cheyenne, don't go back to bed.

I'm not.

I'm serious.

Early bird gets the worm.

Yes, Mother.

Good morning, Maurice.

It is morning, but I don't know how good it is.

Uh, what are you doing?

You need one of these. I can tell.

These remove.

Thank you.

I'm okay.

You're not okay, and it's okay not to be okay.

You're right.

I'm not.

Did you see Sabrina? How is she doing?

I went to the hospital today and it was heartbreaking.

Oh, Sabrina.

This feels too familiar.

Wasn't long ago that you were sitting on this side of the bed.

Looking after me.

Taking care of me.

Maybe we got to stop meeting like this.

Girl, I got to get you up.

Pam, her stupid ass is at it again. She took a

sledgehammer to the wall in the salon.

She's there with tubes everywhere.

Oh, my God.

Machines beeping.

She's bandaged.

She's cast it up. I just... I couldn't stomach it.

That is horrible.

She's... She's gonna make it through this. She's strong and she's a fighter.

Yes, yes.

She's gonna come out of this.

Well... I mean... Age.

Don't do that.

Don't.

Sabrina has too much life to live.

You're right. You're right. She is going to beat this.

Yes.

Thank you.

I need positivity.

Yeah, you're right. You're absolutely right.

I need positivity.

Yeah, you're right.

She's going to be okay. Thank you.

Oh.

Oh. Miss India.

Good morning.

Morning.

What brings you here?

Well, while Sabrina's recovering, at least for the foreseeable future, I will

handling her job responsibility.

Oh.

Oh.

Until we find someone long -term.

Long -term.

You won't need that because Sabrina's coming back.

Yeah. Not for a while.

In the sprint.

It can't manage itself.

I hate that hooker.

Quiet. All I said was I like Rice Cooker. Yes, he does.

Loves him.

Cooking Rice Murray.

You okay?

Yeah, no. You just feel cold. I just wanted to... I'm good.

It's okay. How are you feeling?

I'm okay.

You sleep okay?

Sorry.

All right, Danny. I want you to sit with me for a minute.

Please.

I'm sorry that that happened to you.

And I'm so sorry that I didn't protect you.

It's not your fault.

I still feel responsible.

Please don't make this about you, Tony.

No, I'm talking about us.

No.

Look, I know I did some pretty stupid things that drove a wedge between us.

I wasn't the best girlfriend either.

But it was your frustrations with me that led you to be receptive to someone

else. It was a mistake.

It doesn't matter what problems we were having.

It didn't give me the right to cheat. I get that.

She did say some terrible shit to me.

I deserved it, though.

No. No, Danny.

You didn't deserve it.

All right?

My feelings got hurt. My ego got bruised. It's the old dude here. Would

like that?

That'll never happen again.

Then I can promise you.

I never should have said those things to you.

Not here or at the hospital.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

You sure you're okay?

After everything you just went through?

Doing the best I can.

You should go to the police and report this guy, Danny.

I'm not going to the police.

Okay.

If it makes it any easier, I'll go with you.

No, I'm not going.

Danny, you've got to report this guy again.

What's it mean?

Hungry?

Okay. Breakfast.

I've got some... French and apple juice.

Danny. If you're hungry, let's just go out to eat, all right?

You know, Tony, you don't have to do any of this.

Do what?

All of it.

Any of it. You can go home.

Look. I'm okay.

I'm here. I want to be here.

Look, come on.

Get dressed, all right? I'll take you to that pancake spot you like.

You know that spot.

I still got some stuff over here, yeah?

Barnes, morning.

Good morning, Mr. Benson.

Hayden, do you have a moment to confer?

We're actually in the middle of a meeting. Which I would not have

it weren't important.

So.

Of course.

Have a seat. Thank you, Mr. Mason.

I guess I should leave.

No, this actually may involve you.

What's this about, Ms. Barnes?

I wanted to inquire if anything strange or out of the ordinary happened to you

this weekend.

No. No. My weekend was pretty uneventful.

Why don't you ask?

Well, this weekend at a cookout at a friend's house, I received an unexpected

surprise. What kind of surprise?

After receiving a malicious text, my car was blown up.

What? Are you all right?

I'm fine, thank you. And your friends?

They're fine as well, but my car is totaled. That was a nice car.

So it seems like you pissed somebody off, which is kind of her forte.

Not someone Hayden. Dr. Cruz.

What are you talking about?

Are you saying that Brett Cruz had something to do with that?

Absolutely. This was definitely a warning sign for me to back off. What

you have?

Well, my car was blown up. How do you know that the threatening text and the

explosion were regarding Dr. Cruz?

Yeah, I think he needs some proof.

Could be a...

disgruntled spouse of a former client was brett cruz's name mentioned

specifically mr benson no but then i would be very careful going around

allegations like that i understand what you're saying but i believe that this

was a clear attempt to instill fear and intimidate me okay but there's a growing

list of people that really don't like you so

There's no way to know if they're really connected to Cruz.

There is no one that I have represented or gone against that would blow up my

car, Hayden. Be for real.

I understand what you're saying, Ms. Barnes, but I would advise that you're

going to need something more than theories.

Mr. Benson, it was Dr. Cruz.

You have to trust me on this one.

Be that as it may, until you have some concrete evidence, I would advise you

to discuss this with anyone else.

Okay, but...

Mr. Benson, there were other people who interacted with Dr. Cruz who were

threatened as well. In fact, I received another threatening text with the threat

of arson to my penthouse.

What? Yeah.

It's a long way up to get caught.

Hayden, you can go ahead and excuse yourself now.

Yes, please.

Yes, sir, Mr. Benson.

Did you call the police?

Yes. That's good.

Have something on record.

Absolutely, yes.

Do you really feel like your life is in danger?

I don't know, but I am not going to give up on this case.

He inflicted so much pain on those women.

Tread carefully for now.

I'm going to check with my connections at the Bureau, find out if there's any

chatter.

Thank you.

It's unfortunate that doing the right thing can sometimes put a target on your

back. I agree. In the meantime, keep these allegations between us.

I want to bring a defamation case to the firm.

I understand, but Mr. Benson, remember Dr. Cruz threatened you as well when he

was getting escorted out of the law firm.

I've known Brett a long time, and I definitely saw a side of him that I

like.

Seeing those women and hearing their stories,

I was reminded of what privilege looks like.

Keep your head on a swivel, Miss Barnes.

I will.

You do the same.

That's all for now. Could you ask Hayden to come back in so we can finish up?

Of course.

How can I help you?

So I hear the Goof Troop had some trouble this weekend.

Who the hell is the Goof Troop?

Andy and her crew.

And I'm assuming you were there too, since y 'all act like you attached to

hit. Hayden, I don't have time for this.

I'm just saying, so many shots getting fired at Andy, it's only a matter of

before you catch a straight.

Well, I can handle myself, and so can Andy.

You sure?

Because it feels like you always come into her rescue.

Hayden, why don't you just say what you're trying to say?

Yes, Hayden.

What exactly are you trying to say?

What I was trying to say is it feels like

you're always getting into some kind of trouble.

Hmm.

Is that right?

It's always something with you.

Well... If I'm facing opposition for defending women who were mishandled by

client, then so be it.

This time.

But other times, it's your personal stuff that gets in the way of business.

Right. There's a person who was personally acquainted with a client's

What? You heard me.

Wait, wait, wait.

Wasn't she Robin?

And now I'm your boss.

You know, the walls have ears, Hayden. And eyes.

Well, I disavow any knowledge of a client's hotbox, as you put it.

Be that as it may, please stop harassing Fatima and get back to the conference

room. Vincent is awaiting your return.

Well, you should have led with that.

And for the record, I never touched Robin.

Okay.

Oh, I cannot stand his sneaky ass.

Me either, but Vincent seems to love him.

You know, I'm the one.

So did you tell Vincent about what happened?

Yes, I did.

He's going to reach out to his connect at the FBI and see if there's any

chatting.

I mean, was he surprised?

I know Cruz is his boy.

Right. I was shocked, actually, because he was genuinely concerned for me, more

so than himself.

That's after I told him that he also kicked Dr. Cruz out and was threatened

him. You're right. Remember?

Yes.

Oh, I wanted to say thank you so much for being there for Danny last night.

Yeah.

Andy, I feel like there's something she's not telling us.

Oh, there's definitely something she's not telling us.

I have to get back to some briefs that I didn't get a chance to finish over the

weekend. Do you want to grab lunch later?

Dang it, I should have brought some leftovers from the cookout.

But yeah, lunch sounds good. Okay. I'll buzz you later. Okay.

Hello?

Hey.

Yeah, this is Zachary Taylor.

Yeah?

No, no, no.

No, it's business.

Yeah. One question.

Do you know who won the bid?

M. Truitt Enterprise.

No, no, no, no, no, no. It's all good. No, thank you for the opportunity.

Appreciate you.

Okay. Violet, she wants it.

Too far?

It would be too high.

Okay.

Damn. Don't do white people.

what happened what you're talking about the big pipe that was

I got it fixed right after you left.

Pamela, you mean to tell me that we wasted money getting this area ready for

nails and now it's back the same?

You asked me to consult with you and Danny before making any big decisions.

Pam,

there is a big decision.

you suggest the girl do with a big old pipe?

I'm not with you today.

Okay, I called Karen and she said the management company had the blueprint.

Pam, do you understand that this is money down the drain for nothing?

It wasn't for nothing. I learned that that wall is where the pipe is.

I'm done with your ass.

What you doing here anyway?

Well, I wanted to get away from the bank for a while, so I took an extended

break.

Hard to be there without Sabrina being there.

I can understand that.

Guess I ought to get back now since you're doing your thing.

She's going to start looking for me anyway, Miss India.

Don't get in trouble.

Trouble?

Girl, them people, I'm so tired of that play.

Maureen.

You don't need to break nothing else.

That's what you need to worry about. I'm not.

Uh -huh. Bye.

Bye, Maureen.

What's up, baby?

What's up?

Business as usual, man.

Yeah.

Scott, how's everything with you and Fatima after all that craziness

It's quiet.

That's good.

How about you, though? You want to go see Sabrina?

Yeah, man.

Once I close up here, I'm going to go check her out before visitation shut

It's really hard seeing her like that.

I can imagine.

So what's up, man? You going to the gym? You want me to hook you up with that

pre -workout?

Nah, bro. I had a pre -workout at home.

Just not really in the mood right now.

Hold up.

Hold up, Jack. Not in the mood to go to the gym.

Yeah.

I ain't telling nobody, but I put a bid in about the gym.

Yeah, my man. That's what's up.

I didn't get it.

Sorry to hear that.

You already know there's going to be other investment opportunities.

No, bro, but I really wanted this one, yo.

Like, I'm always in the gym.

Like, I could see all the changes I was going to make to make it better.

Instead, I lost to M. Truett Enterprises, bro.

Wait. Say that again.

Say what?

The business.

M. Truett Enterprises?

Damn. No, everything makes sense.

What makes sense?

The other day, this lady came in here. She was talking about doing some, like,

cross -promotional thing with Rich Fuel if she was successful in this business

acquisition.

Think it was the same person?

Yeah. Her name was Madison.

Madison Pruitt.

Gotta be the same person.

Yeah, man. Look, honestly, I had no idea.

She came in here, she wouldn't tell me what business it was because she didn't

want to jinx it.

Well, that shit worked because she got it and I didn't.

You know, she cool people, though.

So she might be cool to connect with on another business endeavor.

Maybe. You know what I'm going to do?

You get me down.

I'm going to go surprise my baby at work.

Break the bad news.

It ain't the now, baby.

Yeah. Hey, so I come by here, yo, you.

Got a lot of stuff going on in that bald head of yours. Hey, okay. Enough with

the bald jokes.

All right? I'll see you, bro.

All right, dude.

Everything okay?

Yeah, I just... Why are you still here?

I... I don't know. What do you mean?

We made it through the night.

He didn't come back.

So you can go.

Don't you have other things to do?

I just don't think, you know, time of day kind of matters in this thing.

I just want to be here.

I just feel like you have other things to do besides babysit me, Tony.

Look, I just... I just want to make sure that you're okay.

After everything you saw, that... The two things have nothing to do with each

other. Nothing justifies a man trying to force himself on you.

No matter what.

All right?

No means no.

He didn't get that memo.

Who was this guy, Danny?

Why, Tony?

I didn't think there was a way anymore.

Next on Sisters.

I'm pretty sure Miss Hollins overlooked a lot because of your close personal

relationship. It seems that you are out for blood.

Hopefully when I get back, your little hood rat boo thing won't be here. Got

your little hood rat boo.

These, of course, are for you.

I was just at the hospital visiting a friend. You sure you're good?

That's complicated.

You got to back up. What is wrong with you?

It is not what it looks like.
