Thank you.

material.

You're young, you're fine, you're
single, and you've been practicing all

day.

One drink.

Well, I have an audition coming up. Is
it with the bill?

No, it's some session work.

Okay, so how about you audition for some
dick instead?

Because that's the only session work you
need, girl.

No, no, I can't.

Listen, when you get your own play, you
can practice as much as you want all

night. Fuck. You live under my roof. You
live under my rules.

Oh, wow.

Get your ass up. Get ready. We going
out. We getting drunk. Come on, bitch.

on.

Ladies, cheers to making mistakes.

Hopefully I make a big one.

Uh -oh, I know that face. For real.

You know I'm guest teaching in the
morning.

No problem. Most of these dudes won't
last five minutes.

At all. Okay.

But seriously, Leigh, you know we love
you and we support you.

Girl, you working so damn hard. You
gotta live a little bit.

Bitch.

It's our jam. Come on. Come on, please.
No, I'm good, girl.

You're too good. That's your problem.

Let's go.

Get another drink.

Boost it up.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The very thought of you And

I forget to do

The little ordinary

things That everyone ought to do

I'm living in

of daydream I'm happy as a king

and foolish though it may seem

to me that's everything

It's just about the energy you give, you
know? All right.

Hey,

is something wrong?

It's just I don't usually do this.

Right. Of course not.

I didn't mean to presume you did.

Maybe another time.

Maybe just this once?

It's just the thought of you, the very
thought of

you.

What?

You all have the potential to be
incredible musicians and learning to

with others can create something
magical.

You both did amazing work today. I'm so
proud of you. All right. Hope I get to

come back again. Bye.

That was really beautiful.

Sorry to startle you, but I was in the
hall and when you started to play, I had

to stop and listen.

Thank you.

Audra Jelani.

Layla Calloway. Oh, your playing is
extraordinary.

Are you with the Philharmonic?

No. I wish.

They hold auditions once a year, and I
made it to the second round twice. But

with talent like yours, I'd say third
time's a charm.

Do you believe in fate or serendipity,
Layla?

I came here to meet with someone about
tutoring my granddaughter, and sadly I

was stood up.

So you're looking for a tutor?

Yes, a full -time live -in music tutor
for Zuri.

Her mother's nearing full term, and with
the new baby coming, she'll have less

time to devote to Zuri's needs, and we
need somebody who's focused on her,

especially with her recital coming up in
a few weeks.

Respectfully, Miss Jelani, I'm extremely
flattered, but you don't even know me.

I tell you what, why don't you come to
her home and meet Zuri?

We'll have tea.

OK.

Good morning, Captain.

Layla. So glad you made it. So were my
directions clear enough?

Oh, they were very easy. I made it
straight here, and it was... Well,

Oh, it's gorgeous.

Yeah, it's remarkable, isn't it?

Custom -made in Italy.

This house belongs to my daughter, but
this is a one -piece. It's my design.

Suri, come down and meet Layla.

Let's have that tea we talked about.

Thank you. You're welcome.

It's a Malawian blend.

It's delicious.

Are you seeing anyone?

I don't mean to pry. I'm just wondering
about other commitments.

Just my music.

True artist.

And what about family? Any siblings?

Just me.

Well, a few things you should know.

This is a hypoallergenic house.

All clothing must be natural fibers.

So we'll provide you uniform.

And most importantly, we don't allow any
non -organic food.

So he has many allergies that could send
her into anaphylaxis.

And we keep allergy pens in the kitchen,
just in case.

Her mom is very protective.

Imani.

Imani, I have someone I want you to
meet, darling.

Imani.

This is Layla Calloway.

She's, um...

Here for the tutoring positions.

Hi. It's so nice to meet you.

Pretty.

Thank you.

Your home is absolutely exquisite. And I
am just so honored to be here. I will

make sure not to let your family down.

I can't wait to work with your daughter.
It's really gonna...

Have a good session.

Yes.

Zuri is Imani's by her first marriage.
She was modeling in New York, and she

this rap artist named RGB.

Perhaps you've heard of him. RGB?

Reginald Garvey Bell?

Yes, of course. Everybody knows who he
is. He was... Talented, yes.

But unfortunately, he couldn't overcome
his...

upbringing, you know, gangs, drugs.

And he overdosed.

It happened on Suri's fourth birthday.

So we try not to talk about him.

Of course.

I understand.

Good.

My son -in -law is a music manager.

He worked with Reginald.

In fact, that's how he and my daughter
met.

I am sure that he would be anxious to
hear you play.

He's very well connected at the
Philharmonic. Really?

Let's meet your potential student, shall
we?

Jury, stop playing, please.

Jury, stop playing now.

You first, Graham.

Oh, my God.

Sorry,

this is Layla, a remarkable musician.

who I hope we'll be seeing more of.

Hi, Siri.

Say hello, Siri.

If you die in your dreams, you die in
real life.

Did you know that?

No, I didn't.

Be careful what you dream.

C minor.

F minor.

C minor.

Or you can go C minor, F minor, G7.

You're still dying.

D -flat major, back to C minor.

Once you master triads, you can build
any harmony you want.

Every chord tells a story.

It's up to you what you want the music
to say.

God damn.

And you get to live here, too?

Mm -hmm.

Their daughters already need special
assistance, and it's just easier that

Girl, look at this.

Half of these songs came out after he
passed.

He's more popular now than he was alive.

And? And I'm just worried. That type of
money, that makes people crazy.

OK, for what they paid me, I will deal
with crazy.

$2 ,500 a week.

Car payments, student loans, couch
surfing.

And you know that was never a problem.

I know, but it's just this job will
allow me to pay off debt and teach

It's the perfect opportunity for now. So
don't worry.

Well, I only worry because I love you. I
know, but it's also very... I really

connected with her today.

I can tell she's brilliant and curious.

And she reminds you of Anaya.

Girl,

you know your sister would be so proud
of you.

And Zuri's very lucky to have you.

You know that.

Dre, turn the game off and wash up. And
give me those hot shoes.

Your keys.

Oh, hi, I'm Layla. I'm Zuri's new piano
tutor.

I need your keys, not your hand.

Yeah, um, sorry about that.

I'll make certain it's properly
maintained.

Yeah, just...

Try not to clean the rest off.

It's the only thing keeping this baby
going.

And quite a bit of luck, I would
imagine.

Hi, I'm Wayla.

Amy, come.

I'll take you to your room.

Thank you.

You are in the guest house.

You want to play?

You go outside.

Day, night, it doesn't matter.

It used to be a recording studio.

The walls, the windows, all soundproof.

No one will hear a sound.

Thank you.

Where's your room?

Only the nanny stays here.

The nanny and them.

Oh, I'm just the piano tutor.

You hungry, tutor?

No, thank you.

You want anything?

You ask.

Otherwise, you stay out.

Kitchen is my place.

And everyone in this house, they know
their place.

Hmm?

Hmm.

Hey, why'd you stop?

You were playing really beautifully.

Okay, we're going to try it again.

This time, let the music flow right
through you, okay?

Tutoring Zuri would be your primary
focus, but you'd be responsible for the

and ends from time to time.

Odds and ends?

Yeah, you're helping out here and there.

I see.

Excited to see your teachers?

Kind of.

Breathe, and allow the notes to flow
through your fingers, okay?

Your turn.

Oh, Layla!

Imani likes her green drink after her
nap.

Please put that back in the
refrigerator.

Nice finger work.

We'll also need to pick a great recital
piece for you.

Ambition is nothing to hide from. The
line between prosperity and poverty is

razor thin.

Believe me, I've been there.

Don't get very... You have to take your
opportunities where they come.

You'll get your shot.

Good morning, Timmy.

Audra asked if I could help with the
paraben.

How is that?

I wonder what she's going to ask you to
help with next.

Okay, apron, second drawer.

Okay.

Is that for Zuri?

Hold on a second.

Let me see.

What is that?

It's Femi's breakfast.

I don't care what Femi said. You're
serving it, aren't you?

What is it?

It's a vegan pancake with coconut cream,
berries, and

a banana.

Well done, Layla.

Put the plate down.

Of course.

Oh.

I truly like the way you speak. Imani.

It's all right, my green drink. Bye.

Guri, you know the rules.

No devices at the table and take the
mask off. Please give me a beautiful

breakfast. Thank you.

Is there anything else you'd like?

Mmm, sounds like daddy's home.

Oh, Layla, have Jamie prepare another
plate for Marcus.

I truly like

the way you spell.

Do your penmanship as well. You wrote.
You got to be making faces now.

I see we have a new warrior.

Who might you be?

Hi.

Hello. How are you?

For Christ's sake, I just had the floors
redone. Femi?

Femi?

Marcus, this is Layla, the new nanny.

Not the best first impression.

So sorry.

Nice to meet you, Layla.

Don't worry. It's all right.

Mistakes happen.

Baby, how was your trip?

Not too bad. Yeah? Hi.

And how's that group you were chasing?
Did you close the deal?

Still playing hard to get, but they'll
come around.

What is the issue? Surely they've seen
your roster and the success you've had

with the back cast.

Well, I mean... Mother, please. He's a
genius. Mother, please. He just got

Please. Please. All right.

Why don't you sit down and have
breakfast with us, huh?

Thanks, but I'm not hungry. I had
something on the plane.

All I need is a shower and a kiss from
you.

Enjoy.

What are you doing here?

What do you want? Money?

How did you even find me?

Are you serious?

Your mother -in -law hired me to tutor
Zuri, okay?

That's insane.

I didn't know. I swear.

Do you expect me to believe that this is
all just a weird coincidence?

Well, guess what? It doesn't matter.

Because I quit right now.

I know this job was too good to be true.
Hold on. It's not your goal.

Just hold on.

No one knows about this. No one has to
find out.

Look, I'm sorry.

Okay? I made a mistake.

A mistake?

Look, if you want to quit, I won't stand
in your way.

It's just, Imani's been unsettled
recently.

And if you leave now, she'll be
suspicious.

I'm afraid of what she might do to
herself, to the baby.

Is Audrey Payne all right?

Mm -hmm.

I'll double it.

And please, please stay a few days.

Zuri, what have I told you about
sneaking up on people, huh?

I heard whispering.

We were, um, discussing your mom's baby
shower.

I asked if Layla could help plan it.

You said I could help plan it.

So I thought maybe you could use an
assistant.

Isn't that right?

Layla. At your service, Eddie Mattel.

Well, I'll, uh, leave you to it, then.

It's okay.

I don't need much help.

But I think maybe you will.

Hey, girl, what's up?

Hey, girl, listen.

Okay, so it says here that they
auctioned a box kiosk for $30 million.

Is that for real?

They white people rich.

Mind your business. I'm just trying to
live vicariously through you, okay?

Mm -hmm. Anyway, how is the champagne
life?

It's complicated.

Complicated? Good or what?

Well, remember, um, I told you about
that guy I met at the diner? Yes, the

interesting man alive.

Yes. The best sex you ever had guy?

Yes. Torpedo dick. Jasmine.

What about him?

OK. Well, um, turns out he lives here.

He's the husband.

Jess?

Yes. One week with the other side, and
you already wiling. I love this for you.

I didn't think you had it in you. I
can't even hold you.

What happened to you being worried about
me? That was before I saw this

beautiful ass black man.

God damn.

I just know he packing.

Nah, he's married is what he is. Which
goes against my policy.

She probably knows all about it. These
rich people, they be freaky as hell. I'm

telling you. I'm on the clock, Jazz.

Girl, you're fucking the boss. You can
do whatever you want, okay? I mean...

Brynn, mind your business and eat
your...

all these flakes on the ground i'm not
vacuuming that hold on what what's wrong

you okay let me go lay did you

the girls don't know how to say a proper
goodbye that's just rude

Hello?

Yeah, I think it's fine. Just, um,
making space.

Mother insists I wear the new season,
and Marcus has seen me in half of these

already, so... What do you think of
Marcus?

He's, uh... He's, uh... Yeah.

I know.

He's beautiful.

And he's rich.

Women call each other's eyes out for men
like him.

Do you have a man?

No. A woman?

No.

Sexy little thing like you, you should
be enjoying yourself with whoever you

want.

True love is dangerous.

It's terrifying.

If not, then what's the point?

Have you ever been choked during sex?

It's the best orgasm you'll ever have.

Have Femi drop these off at Goodwill. I
won't hear the end of it if Mother sees

them.

F sharp? Mm -hmm.

D, F sharp. You got it.

You are a natural.

Give me that.

I don't think I know this one.

Is this a very original?

So that song you were playing, it was
beautiful.

I'd love to hear you play that song
again.

Could be our little secret.

That was so beautiful, Zuri.

Thank you for sharing that with me.

It also makes me feel kind of sad.

How does it make you feel?

Just alone.

Mrs. Jelani, I was wondering if I could
ask you something.

Of course.

And please call me Audra.

Yes.

It's about Zuri.

I was wondering about play dates.

Oh, we don't do that.

Our focus is more on Zuri's education
and her self -actualization.

Yes, but...

Socialization is just as important, and
I worry about her.

We don't pay you to worry.

She's had a hard time these past few
years.

I don't suppose she's mentioned anything
to you about her biological father?

Memory? Anything like that?

She's the one who found him.

Oh, my God.

She was uncommunicative for months, but
then after a few months of counseling,

she started to come out of her shell,
speaking in her own unique way.

That mask seemed to help.

Her father gave it to her as a wall
hanging, but she seemed to treat it like

security blanket.

I don't think that's what it is, Miss
Delaney.

Respectfully, I think it's more of a
shield.

Something that she wears to protect
herself when she feels something is

Well, I'd have to say that she has been
wearing it less

frequently, so she must be feeling
more...

Protect it.

Perhaps thanks to you.

Layla, we all appreciate you.

But sometimes it's hard to watch someone
come in and connect when we've been

struggling.

Especially Imani.

You know what?

Why don't you join us for dinner
tomorrow night?

Having us all together like family might
just be the thing everyone needs.

Would you?

Of course.

Fantastic. You know, Fridays we dress
for dinner, so I'll find something for

you.

I'm so excited.

This is my book. Would you like to read
it?

Practice your tenses, okay?

I was hoping to catch a tutor.

The group I'm trying to sign has a lyric
and he translated.

Can you help me out?

It's, um...

It's that one right there.

I made a... Hang on, smarty pants.

Layla, would you mind transcribing?

Sure.

Thanks.

I made a mistake.

And now she's gone.

My heart.

Is broken.

And I can't go on.

That's really sappy.

There's something lost in translation,
sure.

But it's less about the words and more
about how they make you feel.

Did you, uh, get all that?

Yeah.

Have a great day, Boom.

I'll have a few recital pieces to
practice when you get home, okay?

Oh,

you look beautiful.

Hi, sorry, I hope I'm not too late.

Not at all.

I fished it out of the pile.

It would be a shame to let it go to
waste, don't you think?

Oh, that presentation is marvelous.

Beautiful. Family, please enjoy your
dinner.

Thank you. Thank you, family. Of course.

Mmm, I smell the scallion.

There's something wrong with your food,
baby.

I like when Layla makes it.

Can we just say grace now?

Yes.

Heavenly Father, we thank you for this
meal and the blessings before us.

Watch over this family and guide our
thoughts and actions.

Help us recognize our transgressions and
give us strength to be faithful in our

commitment.

Fill our hearts with love and humility
that we may serve others selflessly and

honor your name.

Give us grateful hearts, O Father, for
all thy mercies.

And make us mindful.

Layla.

Gray circle at the table.

I... I... No, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Cleanse me from my sins and restore me
to your grace.

Cleanse me from my sins.

And restore me to your grace.

In your name we pray.

Amen. Amen.

Amen.

Amen. Bon appetit.

Layla.

Layla.

Cleanse me from my sin.

Cleanse me from my sin.

I need siblings.

Just me.

Layla.

Be careful what you dream.

And this one, pianissimo, it means very
soft.

You know, they kind of trade off, like a
game of hide -and -seek.

You know hide -and -seek, right?

Sure. They play it at school sometimes.

It's all rather silly, though.

My mom says it's important to be mature.

To be a child.

To be a victim.

Well, it's okay to enjoy still being a
kid.

You've still got a few years left.

Get away.

It's okay. It's just a little bee.

Get away.

Okay. All right. We're going to go
inside. Come on. Get away from me. Come

It's all right.

I can promise you those bees are way
more scared of you than you are of them.

It's got me.

Hey, let me see.

Oh, God.

Oh, God. Okay. Okay. Stay right here.

She'll be okay.

Although she will be okay in future,
have an allergy pen on you at all times.

Thank you, Doctor. We will.

Thank you.

Without our permission.

You did this?

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

You thought what? I was helping her. You
thought what? You thought what? We

don't pay you to think.

Imani, the baby. Jesus Christ. You're
not Zuri's family. Do you understand

You're not even her friend. We pay you
to spend time with her.

You're the help. Layla, do you
understand that? What the fuck are you

Imani. Do you understand that?

It was.

I was so worried.

Well, now I'm getting worried about you
again.

Jack, I'm okay.

You're getting too caught up, Leigh.

She's not Anaya.

You don't owe these people anything.

I can't just leave her.

Sorry about Mommy.

Sometimes she gets mad and does bad
things, but she doesn't mean to.

It's okay.

She was just worried.

I was too.

And your grandma and your dad.

We're just all happy that you're okay.

Marcus isn't my real dad.

My real dad died when I was little.

I know.

Sorry.

Thank you for helping me.

Bye.

Hey.

Hey.

Can I get you a drink?

I shouldn't.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Average tape, reel to reel.

That's what RGB made his recordings
with.

I'm sure Zuri's told you all about it.

No, actually.

It's over a thousand hours.

You know, once he got his own studio, he
insisted on recording everything.

Part of his genius, I guess.

His voice is still with us.

And even in death, his legacy lives on.

Mike, I'm sorry for your loss.

Well, that's what the whiskey's for.

Until things blow over.

Imani's in one of her dark seasons.

She's gone through a lot, you know.

You don't need to make excuses for her.

I just wanted to protect Reggie's
legacy.

Look after his people.

He was my guy.

The family was everything to him.

And with my own child on the way.

I understand that now more than ever.

I lost someone too.

My sister.

She would have been 30's age.

She had asthma.

We didn't know how severe until...

She died before the ambulance even got
there.

Died in my arms.

Oh, David Furry.

I know this is wrong, but being with you
was...

The first time I felt anything in a long
time.

When I close my eyes, all I see is you.

Life at night.

I did not meet you first.

But Imani... Don't worry about Imani.

I only want you.

Oh, my God.

Never too much, never too much, never
too much, never too much.

A -A -D -D, oh my God. A -A -D -D, oh my
God. A -A -D

-D, oh my God. A -A -D -D, oh my God.
Don't waste my time, I'm up in your

You make me feel alive.

So did you have a good day?

Yeah.

Did you know that under the fur, tigers
have striped skin?

No, I didn't know that. Each pattern is
unique.

Kind of like a fingerprint.

Okay, so don't tell me you're going to
try to get a pet tiger now, are you?

No. I don't think my snake would like
sharing a claw with a tiger.

This helps them better navigate their
surroundings. And not only does it help

them to ambush prey, but also to avoid
danger.

Who was she?

We don't know yet.

We're trying to find out.

Look, Reg meant a lot to a lot of
people.

His music's powerful and sometimes it
makes folks crazy.

What happened?

There was an incident at the school. I
didn't ask you. What happened?

Someone tried to get Zoe's attention,
but Eric handled it and everything is

okay. Why didn't you come and get me?

Because... We didn't want to wake you.
Wake me?

Layla, could you draw me a bath, please?

No, I can do that. I asked, Layla.

Could you help me with my legs, please?

Marcus used to do this for me.

We used to take baths together.

Couldn't keep his hands off of me.

He used to make me these little origami
figures with love notes in the folds.

He used to do a lot of things.

I didn't want you here, you know?

I told them I didn't need help, but
Marcus, the mother and sister, is still

us.

Oh, the baby's kicking.

Come here.

Come here.

Wait.

I was just really scared.

I see so much of Reg and Terry.

Life is so fleeting. Yeah.

The people you love could be gone in an
instant.

Yeah.

You could be gone in an instant.

Shit. I dropped my ring. It's okay. I
got it.

You're here. You're here. It's okay.

Here it is.

Suri, I am so sorry.

You now have my full undivided
attention.

Are you okay, Leela?

Suri, I want you to listen very closely.

Sometimes when you feel something is
wrong, it's okay to be extra careful and

trust your instincts.

Does Zulu believe that instincts were a
guide from ancestral spirits?

Yes, that is a very good way to think
about it.

What if something feels off, but you
don't know why?

Then you do everything in your power to
protect yourself, and you listen to

those ancestors.

What are the ancestors telling you?

You can't answer that, can you?

I know this is complicated.

But whatever this is...

It's real, Layla.

The real's worth fighting for.

There's a jazz standard called Never Let
Me Go.

It's gonna be played at the baby shower.

You know it?

Mm -hmm.

And we wanted the band to play it, but I
thought...

Cool.

My friend from the Phil will be there.

I think that you should play it.

A violin solo.

It'll be a great opportunity.

Your own private show, basically.

Oh, my God, Marcus.

Thank you.

You deserve it.

These are presents. Let's put them here.

Oh, honey, you made it. Audra made them.
You did.

Oh, the gifts are over there. Please get
a drink.

Oh, that's beautiful.

Yes!

Give them that bell pose, darling.

Zuri, smile.

Oh, thank God she doesn't have the mask.

Oh, hello.

I'm so... Hey.

Me.

Is that really her?

Sure is.

She's your ticket.

What if I'm not ready?

You've never been more ready.

I'll introduce you.

Come on.

Okay.

This is your shot.

Meet the moment.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's my great
pleasure to introduce a very special

Let's celebrate their new addition and
help me welcome to the dance floor

and Imani Walker.

And now,

you're in for a real treat.

We have the lovely Layla Calloway on her
violin.

with talent like yours?

I'd say third time's a charm.

Stop it.

Get on with yourself.

Just sit.

This is bullshit. Calm down.

Well,

sorry about that, everyone.

A band, please.

Please come and join this beautiful
couple on the dance floor.

Cheers.

Yeah.

You really disappointed me, Leila.

Amani had her suspicions, but I didn't
think you were capable.

Until now.

We'll find a way to tell Zuri. She'll be
heartbroken, you know.

You have this week to finish preparing
for her recital.

Before we part ways.

I really got better of you.

You owe us.

You owe Zuri.

It's for the best.

This place kills you or makes you
wicked.

I found her address.

She wants to meet.

Girl, are you sure about this?

There's something going on in that
house.

It's Zuri.

I feel like she's trying to tell me
something, like she's in danger.

And I'm the only one in that house who
could hear her.

Look, I know it sounds crazy, but I at
least want to hear what she has to say.

You got my back, right?

Yeah, bitch.

Always.

Still no more fucking?

Jasmine!

Reg had an after -school program.

Because it's hard and so... You know,
his way of staying connected to the

community, you know?

I was on the board, took care of the
financials.

A few months after he passed, they
called and said the rent check bounced.

Now, he had a trust set up, enough money
to run that place for years, decades.

Come to find, it got amended.

But they wouldn't tell me why or by who.

Toxicology report, really.

Died of an overdose.

Overdose.

Bullshit, I said.

Rich was scared somebody was trying to
steal his money.

Money that was meant for Lurie, that if
anything happened, he left something in

the house to prove it.

What did he leave?

He wouldn't say.

That business, all them people around
him had him.

Paranoid. He didn't even trust his own
mother.

I know how this sounds, but I promise
you, my

son did not die at the overdose.

He might have killed him.

Layla. Thanks for the sweet tea.

Layla. Thanks for having us.

Layla.

Imani can't get around that trust.

Layla, come on.

Whatever Rich left in that house, you
need to find it first.

For Suri's sake.

I beg you.

I'll do what I can.

God, that bitch is crazy.

Mamas never believe their kids are doing
drugs.

I bet even Snoop Dogg Mama is in denial.

Hey, you don't actually believe all that
stuff she was saying, right?

No.

Okay. Don't tell your face.

And please get my ass home quick.

I need to hold my crystal.

Now if you die in your dreams, you die
for real.

It's like the walls closing in, that's
how I feel.

I could tell something off, it don't
feel right. I know snakes move in

but they will bite. Now if you die in
your dreams, you die for real. It's like

the walls closing in, that's how I feel.
I could tell something off, it don't

feel right.

I know snakes move in silence, but they
will bite. I said it's RGB, nothing

harder than me.

hurt you.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Be still.

There was a time you couldn't wait to
get this over with.

But now you're hesitating. It doesn't
suit you.

I'm not hesitating.

I'm being cautious.

I just don't like what we can't control.

We have to find out what she knows.

I agree.

Who sends her a motherfucker?

And then we do what needs to be done.

Just like we planned.

Because soon you'll have the son I
always promised you.

And we'll be a real family, okay?

Should you be in here?

It's my house, isn't it?

But Imani... She's... resting.

You going somewhere?

I was just getting ready to pick up Zuri
and have our last lesson.

No lesson tonight.

Zuri has a after -school thing with
friends.

She'll go home late.

Well, then it looks like I have the
night off.

Audrey needs your help in the kitchen.

It's dinner time.

I should

change. No.

Join us.

It's our last meal.

Fit.

It's been so long since I prepared a
meal.

The main course will be ready shortly.

Layla, you know the rules.

No devices at the table.

We

wanted

to talk to you about Zuri.

So has she talked to you at all about
her biological father?

She actually doesn't talk about him.

It wouldn't be a violation of her trust
for you to share something with us.

Come on, Layla.

All we want to know is what Zuri's told
you about Reg.

What she's told me?

Yeah.

Guess what she's told me.

Yeah,

she has told me that her dad... gave her
that mask that she wears, and that he

loved African history.

She also told me that she doesn't really
think about him very much, that she

barely remembers him, and how she thinks
of you as her father

now.

I cut the bullshit.

We know that you met with Charmaine.

Was that glorious idea or yours?

No.

You don't have much more time, Layla.

Mm -mm.

Tell us what Zuri knows.

You wouldn't want her getting hurt now,
would you?

Zuri doesn't know anything.

What did Charmaine tell you?

Hmm?

What did you find?

Tell us what you found.

She's gonna... They know her.

I could never hurt her, dear.

I pay people to do it for me.

What did you find?

What did you find?

Look in her violin case.

Thankfully she keeps her little love
note.

Why are you doing this?

Reg was selfish.

Short -sighted. He left everything to
Zuri.

And we stand to inherit nothing.

My son gets nothing.

And I made that motherfucker.

So you used me.

We needed someone Zuri would trust.

And Armani would hate.

When it's all over, Armani will tell the
story.

And there'll be no doubt.

It's simple.

You saw a pathway of excellence through
our family. You were obsessed with

Marcus and slept with him under the same
roof of his pregnant wife. And when he

finally rebuffed you, you lost control
and tried to attack her at her very own

baby shower.

Dozens of prominent community members
saw it and witnessed it.

You wanted revenge.

You wanted to hurt Imani by taking away
the one thing that she really loved.

You were more than negligent with Zuri.
Our family doctor will attest to that.

And when that attempt didn't work, I've
got dinner.

You purposefully fed Zuri food that you
knew she was deathly allergic to.

Layla made it special for you.

And practically.

Suri, die.

That's a good little girl.

The guilt was just too much for you to
bear.

I made a mistake.

And now she's gone.

And now she's gone.

My heart is broken.

And I can't go on. And I can't go on.
And I can't go on. Such beautiful

handwriting.

And sadly, at night,

You tragically took your own life.

Dinner's over.

And the child?

I believe in money, power, and spec.

First you get the money, then you get
the motherfucking power.

After you get the fucking power,
motherfuckers move it.

You take yours while you're proud about
it. Well, step out, the boys want to

crowd around.

I want Prius now.

Audrey brought me dinner, but something
didn't feel right, so I trusted my

instincts.

You lived in an adventure?

Uh -huh.

I took two bites and stashed the rest.

She hates my mask.

I'm going to go find your mom, okay?

And we're going to get out of here.

Do you have anywhere you could hide?

a routine amendment.

What did I tell you, huh?

No changes.

That's what I said.

I'm looking after your legacy here. Zuri
is my legacy. She's three years old.

But if something happens to you, God
forbid to her.

The fuck you just said?

And why are you so worried about me all
of a sudden, huh? I ain't going nowhere.

We both know you haven't been yourself
lately. You trying to gaslight me right

now? Reg, you're paranoid.

And you fired.

Are you sure you want to do this? I just
did.

Get the fuck out of my sight.

This is Reginald Garvey Bell, October
10th, 2020.

Something's been off.

I wasn't sure until now, but if you're
hearing this, maybe I ain't around no

more.

Something happened to me, and it was
Marcus Walker that did it.

Follow the money.

I would never hurt Zuri.

I was trying to save her.

She was supposed to be about the money.

No one was supposed to get hurt.

But I thought you two... together.

She blackmailed me.

Threatened to hurt Zuri if I didn't go
along.

I had to please her.

You gotta believe me.

You believe me, don't you?

And for what it's worth,

I was starting to like you.

Why is this the hand that makes all that
pretty music?

Where's Zuri?

Where is Zuri?

We have to find Zuri. She can't be far.

Layla, you are wasting my time.

You couldn't save your sister, and you
can't save Zuri.

You keep Anaya out of this.

But she's a big part of the narrative.

That's why we chose you.

Because if you let your own little
sister die with another little black

Fuck you, you old miserable bitch!

Miserable bitch.

Mommy!

Mommy!

I'm coming, baby.

I'm coming.

Come on.

Get off of me. Get your ass in. Sammy.

Sammy, it's okay.

Come on.

Come on.

You thought

you could outsmart me?

That's okay.

What now?

There's more food on the stove.

Force feed her if you have to. We have
to make this look right.

What is it?

That's your granddaughter.

Your own blood.

How could it be you?

I used to be sweet like you.

Doing people's laundry, doing people's
dishes.

Waiting on rich people hand and foot.

And I vowed that no member of my family
would ever want for anything ever again.

We need to rethink all of this. Shut up!

I gave my daughter every opportunity.

Education, exposure, financial security,
only to watch her fall flat on her face

in love with that ghetto trash. So no,
this one?

This one is no kin to me.

Audra. But the birth of my grandson will
bring a news.

Legacy of excellence and its name will
be Jelani.

You already have the money.

How could you kill him as a child?

Because Lucien's our motherfucker.

Does she make you feel alive now,

Marcus?

Imani. Mother, what did you do?

What did you do?

What did you do?

They were trying to hurt Zuri, and I
stopped them. But don't worry, Mommy.

You'll make it all right.

Be careful, the baby.

Don't worry, Mommy. We'll make it all
right. Just stay where you are.

Listen, I'll come up there and get you.

Don't move.

I'm going to come and get you.

Got you!

Please.

Layla?

Layla?

Are you okay?
