Original subtitles

The other night, I was almost raped and I fought him off.

Previously on Sistas...

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

While Sabrina’s recovering,

I will be handling her job responsibilities.

Until we find someone long-term.

You won’t need that because Sabrina is coming back.

I put a bid in to buy the gym.

Yeah, my man. That’s what’s up.

I didn’t get it.

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.

Tread carefully for now.

Mr. Taylor. You looking for Ms. Wilson?

Yes, actually I am.

She in? I was looking to surprise her.

She is out with Ms. Barnes, but you can wait in her office.

Guess the surprise was on me.

Um, you think I can go in the back and leave her a note?

Yeah, absolutely.

She’s out at lunch, but I’m sure they’ll be back soon.

Mm. How long do you think she’ll be back?

I don’t know. I think they just stepped out.

Okay. Well, I could leave her a text.

But, uh, I want her to know I stopped by, so...

- Go for it. Sure. - Thanks.

Good afternoon, ma’am.

How can I help you?

I’m looking for Andrea Barnes.

You got an appointment?

Nope.

Oh, look. I’m sorry.

Um, Ms. Barnes is not available right now.

- Where is she at? - I...

I could let her know you, you stopped by.

Can you show me her office?

No, I’m sorry. I’m not at liberty to do that.

- It would just be a quick tour. - And you are?

Her sister. Cheyenne Barnes.

Oh. I wasn’t aware Ms. Barnes had a sister.

So can you show me her office?

Um, are you sure you don’t want to just wait

until Ms. Barnes returns?

She’ll be, she’ll be back.

It’ll be quick. Please.

Okay. Um...

I got, I got to get back to the phone really fast, though.

- No problem. - Yeah.

Right this way.

So, uh, yeah.

This is...

Andi’s office.

Oh, no, no, no. No.

So this is how my sister rolls.

This is one of our partner’s offices.

Our staff attorneys’ offices are a little more modest.

Hmm.

Please. Let’s go.

Coming.

Let’s... You can follow me.

Please.

This way.

Hello.

Hello.

You, uh, look a little lost.

You need some help?

No. I was just leaving.

That’s too bad.

Well, I’m Hayden Moss.

I’m actually an attorney here.

You are?

Not interested.

Okay. It’s like that, huh?

No. I’m just looking for my sister.

- She’s not here. - Hmm.

Well, that’s too bad.

I’m gonna go ahead and give you my business card.

In case you change your mind.

Okay.

Damn.

Thank you so much for letting me leave that letter.

No problem, Mr. Taylor.

Let me ask you a question.

Yeah.

Do you know which restaurant, like, they might have went to?

I actually don’t even know.

- Oh! Oh! - Oh, shit. You okay?

- You okay? - I’m fine.

- I’m Cheyenne. - I’m Zac.

Nice to meet you, Zac.

Nice to meet you, too.

- - Yeah.

Yo, what are you doing?

What is that smell?

It’s Taken, by Fatima.

I would love to take you somewhere.

You... I’m good. I got a woman.

- She knows her. All right? - He does.

I’m good.

I don’t see a ring on that finger.

How old are you?

- Old enough. - To die.

I told you. I have a woman, okay?

I’m trying to save you.

Liar.

What?

Well, how do you know

you don’t want something if you haven’t tasted it?

Girl...

Sweetheart, you bugging because you are forbidden fruit,

and I can guarantee you I’m not taking a bite.

Come on. I saw you checking me out.

No, you didn’t. I don’t check people out.

That’s not what I do. I’m off limits.

I’m good.

You sure there’s nothing you don’t like?

I don’t see nothing.

I can’t even see in here right now.

It’s... Can you see anybody?

I can’t see nobody.

You don’t see nothing, right?

- You are so funny. - Hey, yo!

You got to back up.

If my girl comes in here, she’s going to kill you.

Whoa! Uh. It won’t be funny if my girl get here.

What is wrong with you?

Oh, shit.

Oh, my God.

On everything, it is not what it looks like.

I promise.

♪ My girls hold me down ♪

♪ When them boys mess around ♪

♪ When my love life is a headache ♪

♪ We’re goin’ out tonight ♪

♪ ’Cause I’m lookin’ for love ♪

I swear it’s not.

- It better not be. - It’s not.

- Andi, how are you doing? - Zac.

- Who the-- is this? - Who’s this?

You got me.

Cheyenne. What are you doing?

Chey-- This is your sister?

Mm-hmm.

Wait. Sister?

Bae, who is this woman?

No, no, no. You, you better chill.

Watch your fingers.

- She going to chop them off. - Andi.

You better get her.

- Cheyenne. - Hm.

You’re here, causing trouble already?

I just wanted to come by and see where you work.

You wanted to see where I work dressed like that?

What’s wrong with the way that I dress?

Because it’s inappropriate for a law office.

Well, I came here to visit, not to work.

And I just came here to surprise you.

And she just was--

I know, Zac. You ain’t crazy.

- Nope. - Mm-hmm.

Cheyenne, what shenanigans are you up to?

What are you doing?

I came to visit while job hunting.

- You’re job hunting? - Hmm.

Again, dressed like this.

I don’t have your wardrobe, sister.

Okay, whatever, but what are you doing to Zac

in this very public location?

We were just getting to know each other.

Just checking each other out.

Yeah. We wasn’t doing nothing like that.

- Oh, no, no, no, no. - Please.

Hm-hmm. Why would you do that?

- She look, like, seven. - Okay, calm down.

My nose is just itching.

I thought you was pulling out the

because she was all...

You don’t got to do that.

- You good? - Not this time.

So who are you?

Who am I?

I’m Fatima. I work here with Andi.

- Hm-hmm. - Hm.

Okay, the other side.

Andi, you better get her.

No. Nobody has to get me.

Cheyenne, sit this one out.

Whatever. I should be heading home anyways.

Yes, you should do that. Mm-hmm.

Later.

- Oh. - Cheyenne.

We are going to go this way.

Andi, I, um, I don’t know

if your mother can have any more children.

But you about to be an only.

Um. Cheyenne, go home.

Yo, your sister is wild, yo.

Ugh.

Fatima, you see what I have to deal with?

Yes, I do.

I don’t know if I can do this.

Well, what happened?

- This is girl talk. - Okay.

Zac, I am sorry for my sister’s behavior.

- She is, in fact, a wild child. - Hm.

- I can see that. I’m chill. - Okay.

Andi, just let your sister know

that I can match that energy any day about mine.

I know, and, Fatima, that’s not necessary.

Trust me. Thank you.

You know you ain’t got to worry about that.

I know that, Zac.

But I don’t deal with disrespect.

- Okay. Um... -

Andi, thank you for lunch.

- Mm-hmm. - Thank you so much.

And, um...

I’m sorry again about my sister.

Uh, my apologies.

- Uh, I’m going to go now. - Okay.

Could I... No?

- Yeah. I got that. Okay. - All right.

We’re good.

Why I got to get the animosity?

I ain’t even doing nothing. I was minding my business.

I know. I’m not worried about that at all.

- Can you kiss me? - Yes.

Mmm.

Zac, stop it. I--

- Why I got to stop? - I am at work.

You know that.

All right, all right, all right. Okay.

Okay. So tell me, did you get it?

No, I didn’t.

Babe, I’m sorry.

But, look, there will be more amazing opportunities.

- Okay? - I know.

I was just looking forward to that one.

I know.

You want to walk me to my office?

Of course I do.

Mm, this is how you be dressed at work.

It’s my

Who was this guy, Danni?

Why, Tony?

I mean, like, you know, where’d you meet him?

How did he end up here in the first place?

Oh, like...

Was I out?

You know, met a guy, started vibing,

brought him back here, and shit went left, you know?

What? That’s, that’s not what I’m saying.

Yeah, no, no, no, I get it. I understand.

No.

I didn’t bring him here and turn him on

and then change my mind, if that’s what you’re wondering.

No, I wasn’t, I wasn’t saying that.

I know you felt some type of way about old boy,

but, I mean, I’m not out here bad like that.

You know what I’m saying?

Not, like, on, like, the Beat Girls app, you know?

I swipin’ right on...

Okay, look.

Yeah, my feelings was hurt.

But that’s not the question that I’m asking you.

He must have just followed me home from the grocery store.

Man, this guy could have done way worse

- than have his way with you. - I know.

He could have been a...

sex trafficker or a...

organ harvester or a serial killer.

All those things have occurred to me.

Come here.

I’m sorry for cheating on you.

Hey, hey.

Let’s not talk about that right now, okay?

I just... I just need you to be good.

I’m good.

I’m good.

No, I mean, like, really good. I’m not just saying that

to push the people who love you away.

I just need to take time to think

and process and figure out my life,

because I keep making mistake after mistake after mistake.

Hey, don’t do that. Don’t do that, Danni.

We’re human. We all make mistakes.

All right? I’m working through my gambling habits right now.

Our fallout has me thinking that...

maybe it was more than just a hobby that I enjoy.

Almost losing my house,

should have made you realize that.

Look.

At the end of the day,

if my gambling spawned actions that drove a wedge between us,

then it’s a problem, and I can admit that.

That wasn’t the only issue.

I could have been more patient with you.

I could have gave you more time

to figure out what you were trying to do.

No, Danni. Look, I should have never taken the money.

That’s the, that’s the truth.

I should have never taken the money without asking.

I’m the one that gave it to you.

That’s besides the point.

I took the way you felt for granted.

And I’m sorry.

Thank you.

But it does stand to reason

that, if I hadn’t driven a wedge between us,

the sequence of events that followed

might have never occurred.

And you wouldn’t have ended up in the arms of some other man.

I don’t care what problems we were having.

It didn’t give me the right to cheat.

It doesn’t justify it.

Yeah, I know, but I still feel responsible.

It’s not about you.

This is not about you.

This is not your fault.

Look, I get it. I do. I just...

I just hate that I didn’t protect you.

Again, this is not your fault.

And if it’s anyone’s fault...

So where do we go from here, Danni?

Mr. Webb.

Can I see you in my office for a moment?

Uh, yeah. After I finish what I’m doing.

Doesn’t look like you’re doing very much.

After I finish what I’m doing.

I’ll be waiting.

Wait away.

Maurice.

She asked me where you were while you were on your break.

Well, what did you tell her?

I told her he’s taking an extended break

because he has a headache.

Good. Thank you for covering for me.

Yeah, of course. I got you.

- I know that you’re struggling. - Thank you.

Make sure you close the door behind you.

Okay.

Have a seat, Mr. Webb.

May I inquire what this is about?

I know how close you are to Miss Hollins.

Yeah, she’s my sister.

I understand that.

Have you been to see her?

Yes.

And?

Uh, she’s making progress.

But you realize she won’t be back for a while.

If ever.

I do.

So, you understand

that the behaviors you’ve gotten used to

under Miss Hollins’ watch will not be allowed to continue.

I’m so sorry.

I don’t know what you could mean.

Extended breaks. Flippant customer service.

It needs to stop.

Extended breaks and flippant customer service?

Hmm. Not aware.

I’m pretty sure Miss Hollins overlooked a lot

because of your close, personal relationship.

I’m not sure what you mean.

Be that as it may,

just know, Mr. Webb, I am watching you.

The bank needs more from you.

Like, I need more from you.

- More? - More.

Would you like my credit score and a blood type sample?

Pardon me?

It seems that you are out for blood, India.

I am going to ignore your sarcasm

because I understand you’re going through a lot right now.

Are you done?

Yes.

Once I’ve finished typing up what we’ve discussed,

I’ll need your signature to confirm

you understand this verbal warning.

Lovely. Have a good one.

Hey.

What happened?

She called herself getting me together.

Oh, God. I’m so sorry.

I can’t stand her ass.

Me neither.

Yo, it’s empty around here.

I know.

This-- here, though.

So I guess our little conversation about keeping

business and personal life separate,

that fell on deaf ears, huh?

What the-- is he talking about?

Zac, ignore him. He’s just an annoying little gnat

always buzzing around where he isn’t wanted.

Mm-hmm. I don’t have time for this.

You came and started talking to us.

Now you don’t got time?

See, I have a client luncheon across town

that I really need to get to.

Okay, Hayden, then get to it.

Hopefully, when I get back,

your little hood rat boo thing won’t be here.

I got your little hood rat boo thing.

Uh-huh. I’ma go.

I’ma go this way.

- Mm-hmm. - You do that.

Five-gallon head ass.

How his head so big and he’s so-- stupid?

You know I’ll beat your ass, boy. Keep talking.

I wish you would. I wish you would.

I wish you would come over here with that.

He don’t even sound right saying that shit.

Oh, he get on my last nerve.

Guess anybody could be a lawyer.

Speaking of lawyers, where everybody at?

- It’s like quiet in here. - Oh, yeah.

Benson had a retreat. Andi’s in her office.

And the other partners are traveling.

- Yeah. - Oh.

Hm-hmm, hm-hmm.

Zac, what, what is that look? What are you thinking?

You know it.

It’s always been a fantasy of mine

to take you in that office.

Oh, really?

- Yes, it is. - Okay.

Uh-huh.

Zac, you know people are walking past my office

all the time.

- So? - "So"?

Just use another office.

- What office, Zac? - Come on.

Yo, we can use Hayden funky-ass office.

Wait. So you for real?

Yeah, I’m for real.

Look, he said he’d be gone for a minute.

Oh, so all you need is a minute?

Keep playing with me.

I have this whole office going crazy.

- Come on, seriously. - Zac.

- What? - Wait.

You’re really serious right now?

Name the time I haven’t been serious about getting some.

-’Cause you nasty. - And you like it.

- I mean, I do, but-- - Come on then.

Zac, I could get fired.

Andi ain’t going to let them fire you.

Not for getting no-- in the office.

I know she done got-- in the office.

- Come on. - Come on.

It’s time for dick-tation, baby. Come on.

I know how close you are to Miss Hollins.

Yeah, she’s my sister.

I understand that.

Have you been to see her?

Oh my God, Maurice.

- It’s horrible. - What is horrible?

What’s wrong with Paige?

I don’t-- Let me put you on speaker.

Go on.

The police came by the bank

based on some business cards

they found on an accident victim.

Oh, okay.

We pass out business cards all the time, Paige.

It’s okay.

You’re not listening.

The cards belonged to Sabrina.

Paige, where’s Sabrina?

Vanguard Hospital.

No, no, no, no.

We just left there.

And they said they didn’t have any information.

What are you saying to me?

They’re saying she’s in critical condition.

She might not make it, Maurice.

No.

No, no, no.

No.

Paige, I don’t believe that. Listen to me.

Look, ugh, I have to go.

Paige. Paige, do not hang up. Paige.

I’m so sorry.

Hey.

And?

Uh, she’s making progress.

But you realize she won’t be back for a while?

If ever.

Maurice. Tell me What’s going on.

Tell me.

Sabrina was in a massive car accident.

She’s in a coma.

It took the jaws of life to get her out.

You understand that the behaviors

you’ve gotten used to under Ms. Hollins’ watch

will not be allowed to continue?

I’m so sorry.

I don’t know what you could mean.

Extended breaks. Flippant customer service.

It needs to stop.

Extended breaks and flippant customer service?

Mm. Not aware.

Be that as it may,

just know, Mr. Webb, I am watching you.

The bank needs more from you.

- Like, I need more from you. - More?

More.

It seems that you are out for blood.

Hey, hon.

Hey.

You sound funny.

Are you okay?

I’m just so tired of this place. I don’t know what to do.

I know, babe.

Only reason why I stayed here was Sabrina, and now--

I know.

I think I’m going to do it.

Do what?

What we talked about last night?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I’m sure. I’m going to call you back.

Okay. Call me back.

Mr. Webb.

Can I get your signature on this?

Yeah, you sure can.

Your signature confirms you understand

everything we discussed earlier.

Oh, yes. I understand.

Pay close attention to the signature line.

If you’re having a little trouble reading,

it says, "I-- quit."

Let me tell you something, sister.

If anything were to happen to you,

they would ship the next diversity hire

in here in a minute!

And I know that you wouldn’t appreciate

that type of insensitivity.

There is a special place in hell for a bitch like you.

And I hope that somebody has mercy on you.

Go to hell.

No.

No, no, no, Maurice. No, no, no, no, no!

Don’t leave me here at the bank, please!

- It’s just-- - Are you good?

Yeah, there are just, uh, so many...

Flies.

And I just got to scare them away.

So we should really email corporate about that,

- Miss India. - Yeah.

- The flies at the bank. - Yeah.

I’m going to go on break.

Wait, wait, wait.

Hurry up, Zac.

Okay, I’m trying to.

Oh, shit, wait, wait, wait.

Oh, Zac.

- Wait, wait, wait. - Oh, God. Oh, my God.

Oh, Zac-- Oh, shit!

... Oh, shit!

Out here trying to hit it like you at home.

It’s not my fault this cheap-ass furniture

- can’t handle the Zac attack. - Zac, put the leg back on.

I was trying to put the leg back in, but you--

Zac, hurry up before somebody come back in.

Shit.

- You got it? - Come on now.

Hold it.

- I’m holding it. - I got it. Let it go.

- Shh. - I don’t got it.

Zac, come on.

I didn’t think there was a "we" anymore.

Can we just take a moment and process things

before we throw the whole relationship away?

Tony, I don’t have it in me.

What?

Danni, I, look, just... Look,

let’s just wait before we make any decisions about the future

of our relationship.

Okay?

Look, I’ve been doing some reflecting,

and I’m just now realizing all the things

that I did to cause a rift between us.

So can we do that, Danni? Can we, can we just reflect?

I think that’s best.

Thank you.

Can you just give me some time alone,

some space, so I can think?

- Danni, you-- - Can you give me that?

You sure you’re going to be okay?

I just need that, please.

Can I call you later?

Then you gonna answer the phone?

I don’t want you busting in the door,

- so yes, I will answer. - Okay.

Lock the door behind me, all right?

Hello?

Yeah, are you, um, available to talk today?

Andrea Barnes.

Really?

Yes, please send him back.

Thank you.

Morning, beautiful.

What a pleasant surprise.

These, of course, are for you.

Wow. Have a seat.

Beautiful flowers for a beautiful woman.

They are lovely.

Yeah, I’m told that lavender and purple flowers

represent love at first sight,

uh, sincerity, and fascination.

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

But, really, I just got them

because the colors remind me of you.

Look, I’m really glad we had the opportunity

to, uh, clear the air.

Me too.

Andi, I hope you know I’m not disregarding what you said

about taking some time for yourself.

And I appreciate that.

But I just wanted to see you

and let you know you were on my mind.

That’s really sweet.

You have actually been on my mind as well.

Oh? All good thoughts, I hope.

Hmm. Mostly.

So no hospital today?

No, I have the day off today. Can you believe that?

Oh, wow.

I didn’t know what to do with myself,

so I figured I’d stop by and try to put a smile on your face.

Well, you succeeded with that.

Mission accomplished.

So what do you think

about, uh, maybe the two of us

having dinner sometime in the near future?

Maurice, you back?

- Yes. And for good. - Huh?

I left the bank.

But you just said you was gonna have to turn it up a notch

with Sabrina in the hospital.

Yeah, that’s what I thought, too.

Until I went back there and India tried to write me up.

- Write who up? - Exactly.

Don’t nobody write me nothing but a check.

- Oh, I know you walked out. - Yes, I sure did.

Tipped out and had a grand exit.

I know that’s right.

So now I guess I can dedicate 100% of my time to the salon.

Speaking of, why is the salon 100%-- empty?

Where are the stylists and the customers?

- We kinda dead today. - "Dead"?

"Kinda"?

But we’re open.

We can’t be dead and open. That don’t go.

You know we need some more stylists

with Karen gone and me doing less hair

to focus on the business,

No, I didn’t know it, but is there an ad out?

No.

Why not?

Because you asked me to wait for you and Danni

before making any big decisions.

Literal Linda strikes again.

So what’s the plan, partner?

The plan is to put out an ad for a stylist.

That’s easy.

I could do that on my QuickGram.

Lovely. Let’s try and do that today.

On it.

And, um, let’s put some pen to paper

about getting a strategy together,

a real one. Okay?

Okay.

I’ll reach out to Danni and make sure she’s good with everything.

Ooh, what bank, sweetie?

Please.

And did we ever get the blueprints

from the management?

- Indeed. - Okay, good.

Well, now, Pam, we can actually figure out

where we want to put the nail bar.

In the massage room?

With or without happy endings?

That depends. Do the owners share in gratuity?

I know what kind of shit you like.

Nasty. Fair.

- Yeah. - Very fair.

Oh, there you are.

Here I am.

Hey, Ms. Madison, how you doing?

Seems like I might be doing a lot better than you.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, that’s my bad.

I was just at the hospital, visiting, um, a friend.

You sure you’re good?

That’s complicated.

I see that.

Uh, I believe congratulations are in order.

Excuse me?

Didn’t you just acquire yourself a gym?

And how did you possibly know that?

Well, aside from the suggested cross-promotional proposal,

you actually outbid a friend of mine.

Wait, what?

Yeah, I didn’t even know he put a bid in.

Wow. What a small world.

I said the exact same thing.

Seriously?

Um, uh, did you get a drink yet?

No, you guys were busy, so I just came in and sat down.

Okay. Uh, well, can I get you something?

Yeah, how about the drink that you claim is good for me,

the one that you made me last time?

I got you.

Be right back.

Whoa.

What the hell happened to my desk?

Has somebody been in my office?

Look, you got to eat.

Reginald, there’s just a lot going on right now.

There’s always a lot going on. It’s life.

- Yes, Reginald, but-- - I just want to get to know you.

No expectations. None.

Then what is this?

This is me being tenacious.

That you are.

Look, I just know that the universe

brings people together for a reason.

What’s the reason?

It’s still playing out.

But I just know that the sequence of events

that led to my involvement in Miss Mott’s case

brought me to you, and I want to see what this is.

Just starting as friends.

Wow, you’ve really thought about this.

I mean, a good relationship always starts with a friendship.

Now, that’s true.

So, dinner sometime?

I mean, if your schedule permits.

Dinner would be nice.

Really? All right.

Well, great.

But I have to go home and change clothes first.

Come on. Look, you look beautiful

in anything you wear, Andrea Barnes.

Well, I appreciate that.

I still have to go check on my sister.

She’s staying with me for a while, so...

Great, yeah, you can do that.

And I’ve taken up too much of your time anyway,

so I’ll text you once I finalize the plans.

- Yeah, that would be great. - You want me to pick you up?

- Perfect. - Perfect.

And, Andi,

thanks for letting me explain.

I should have listened to you to begin with.

Water under the bridge.

Tonight, we can toast to new beginnings.

I’ll toast to that.

- See you soon. - See you tonight.

Mmm.

Damn.

It’s Hayden Moss.

Hello, Mr. Moss.

Who is this?

The person you gave your business card to.

Well, I give out a lot of business cards.

You’re gonna have to be more specific.

The woman you introduced yourself to

in your office today.

I see.

So you changed your mind about not being interested, huh?

I guess I was a little...

hasty.

Uh-huh.

So you’re trying to get together?

- You can take me out to dinner. - I could.

I definitely could.

What’s in it for me?

My company, of course, Mr. Moss.

What else would you want from a complete stranger?

Well, that’s yet to be determined, isn’t it?

By the way, I never got your name.

You’re right. You didn’t.

My name is Cheyenne.

Okay, Miss Cheyenne.

What do you like to eat?

I hope that you don’t do anything tonight

to get you locked up because I will not be available

to bail you out.

Next on Sistas...
