Now I don't see how
this will affect any

of the other HOA members
who may or may not

be willing to work with Airbnb.

That's a personal
choice, I get that,

but I don't get how a
personal decision has

to become a group issue.

What I think my
husband is trying to say

is that when this option
was presented to each of us

we had a very open discussion.

Now was there a second meeting

that we were not made aware of

where this suddenly
became a group decision?

Because it definitely
seems that you all

have already made up your
minds about what's best

for everybody else.

Well excuse me Ms. Thing,

but what exactly are
you trying to insinuate?

I'm not insinuating anything.

I'm just stating a fact, Jack.

Excuse me!

Everybody come, I think
we have a problem!

(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

- Is everything okay?
- Hurry, hurry!

Now, now!

(FRANCISCO PANTING)

When I finished my
work this morning,

I come to the front
to pick up my check

and I saw this.

And it come to my attention,
(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

I had not done any work
in this area today.

(PANTING) And when I went
and knock on the door

and it open, I immediately
came and found you.

Well, thank you so
much for doing that.

We may as well go inside and
see what else is missing.

- You're welcome sir.
- Thank you so much Francisco,

Mr. Sanchez.

Hi Ms. Jackson,

- bye Ms. Jackson.
- Well okay then.

Okay, I'll show you what
you can show the world.

(GIRLS LAUGHING)

Watch that go viral.

- Mr. Zachary is so annoying.
- I know, he's like

my least favorite teacher.

Right?

He's gonna get it
one of these days.

So girls, how's
everything going at school?

- School was, school.
- One of those days huh?

- Well, any cute...
- No mom.

No new cute boys today.

Thank God we only have a
few days left before summer,

but, besides, guys are stupid.

Now on that my little
loved one we do agree.

But, if you can catch the
right one soon enough,

you can turn him
into a good man.

Like magic?

Oh, it can be some of the
best magic in the world.

That's if you can get it to last

and if you can keep it away from

- Mama!
- other people.

Girl, I'm just playing with ya.

Look, I know things
around the Orchard

may seem boring
to the two of you,

but it's like my
mama always said,

"Life is what you make it

"and adventure is
where you find it."

And sometimes the best adventure

can be right up
underneath your noses.

But, if you're not paying
close enough attention,

- you'll miss it.
- Really mom?

Girls, let me be the
first to tell both of you

that not everything
around the Orchard

is as simple as it seems.

(LIGHT MUSIC)

- Uh-huh.
- No.

- No?
- No.

But how can it be a no
and you don't even know

what I was gonna say?

When it starts with uh-huh

and you looking out the window
over into the Parker's yard,

I already know
where this is going

and my answer is no.

The world's greatest adventure

could be right under your nose.

And I could miss it

if I don't keep close
enough attention.

I was there, remember?

So you're honestly gonna
sit there and tell me

there's nothing strange
about the Parker's break-in?

Strange like what?

The timing for one.

Weren't they about to do
that whole Airbnb thing?

I think I overheard Ms.
Jones talking to my dad

about that and she did
not sound too happy.

Well I know that Kenny's
parents Owen Drexler converted

their property and Stephanie
over on Peach Street,

she said her family and two

of their neighbors all
have Airbnbs now too.

What am I looking at?

These are the locations
of the Airbnbs in the area.

Notice anything special?

Not really, I
mean they all appear

- to be out of the Orchard.
- Exactly!

All of them except for this one.

Still think I'm reaching?

I mean maybe, but
what if I'm not?

None of this is our business.

People can open an
Airbnb if they want.

Oh come on Gabby, where's
your sense of adventure?

If not us, then who?

How 'bout the police?

They don't know the
Orchard like we do.

I'm not doing this alone.

I mean I could, but I
really, really don't want to.

Sometimes I wonder how
we ever became friends.

Girl please, it was destiny.

The two greatest minds
in the neighborhood.

There's you and then there's me

and then together, poof!

Besides, with that
photographic memory of yours,

you wouldn't be able to
get this beautiful face out

- of your head.
- Yeah, sure.

(GIRLS LAUGHING)

I give up.

I don't know what I'm
gonna do with you.

Hm, you're gonna help me
figure out who did this.

(HANDS SLAPPING)
(MOUTHS WARBLING)

(GIRLS LAUGHING)

(LIGHT MUSIC)
(PHONE RINGING)

Hey girl, I set your
alarm clock last night

so we could get an early
start this morning.

What?

- Where are you?
- Girl, I'm at

your front door.

You should have been there
Mr. H, it was so awesome.

I told old big butt Mr. Zachary
that my girl was the truth

and probably the smartest
student that he will ever

have the privelege of teaching.

- You said that?
- Mm-hmm.

Just like that, in
front of the entire class.

But wait, wait.

There's more.

The best part was that
Mr. Zachary didn't believe

that my girl Gabby has
a photographic memory.

So I bet him that with
one glance she could

not only re-write
the entire test,

but she could get every
single answer correct.

If I lose then I get a
zero on the next test,

but, if I win, then everybody
gets 100% on their papers.

So?

What happened?

Everybody got 100%.

- What?
- She said

that everybody got 100%

and I got an additional
round of applause

for my forward thinking.

I'm not sure it
was a great idea

to embarrass your
teacher like that.

Believe me, he
did not need my help

to embarrass himself.
(GIRLS LAUGHING)

But yet you still
took the time to help.

No, he asked me if I could
remember every question

on his test, I told him yes
and he didn't believe me.

So you just had no other
choice but to prove him wrong

in front of everyone?

What I think your
father is trying to say...

I think I know what my
father's trying to say Cynthia.

Whoa, young lady, you
do not talk that way

- to your mother.
- Yet another instance

where I had no other choice.

But you have a
choice right now

to control the words that
are coming out of your mouth

or do you need help with that?

It's fine, it's really fine.

Sorry Cynthia, didn't mean it.

Yes you did.

But it's quite all right,
these things take time.

Speaking of time,
we wanna take this.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

- Hey Ms. Kim.
- Hey girls.

Roses are looking
lovely this year.

Well thank you.

Almost as good as one of those
weed plants she got growing

in her backyard.

- What?
- Please believe

Ms. Kim is blowing
selling mad herb.

Hey Mrs. Perkins.

- Hey Mr. P.
- Hi girls.

Looks like fun.

Cute couple, too bad
that Mr. P like the D.

(GABBY) No, not Mr. Perkins.

Oh yeah, sorry to
burst your bubble,

but papa is a rolling stone.

What's good Mr. Patrick?

Hello ladies, you guys
make sure that you're careful

on those bikes, okay?

Yo, that dude got crazy cash.

Doesn't he own a few
houses in the area?

Sure does.

Most of them are Airbnbs,
but that dude be making money

in his sleep.

(LIGHT MUSIC)

- Here we are.
- Yeah, what are

we doing here?

I wanna take a look
at the police report.

Okay, we coulda
done that at home.

This is the last day of
school and you wanna spend it

at the library?

I don't think we wanna hack

into the police computer system

from my or your IP address.

I'm just guessing.

No, I was just gonna
suggest the same thing,

but wait, what are we doing?

(LIGHT MUSIC)
(DOORS SQUEAKING)

(WHIMSICAL MUSIC)

(KEYS CLICKING)

So, I know this is probably none

of my business, but you
shouldn't be so hard

on your new mom.

She seems really nice
and I can usually tell

if someone's genuine or not.

You're right, it is
none of your business.

Besides, how can you
tell anything about her

after barely meeting
her a few times?

Now there you go

doing the same thing to me

you get mad at everybody
else for doing to you.

And what's that?

Doubting my ability.

I didn't question you when
you told me what you could do.

Well this is what I can do.

I can easily tell if somebody's
telling the truth or not.

My mom calls it the
poker player's paradox.

It's a blessing and a curse.

I just call it me.

You're right.

- I'm just so...
- Mad?

Hurt?

Scared you might
actually like her?

Look Gabby, she's not
trying to replace your mom,

she's just trying to be one

and I think she
deserves a fair shot.

I'm sorry and I'm sorry
if I hurt your feelings.

Girl please, I'm over that.

Good, 'cause I
just hit the jackpot.

Wait, girl you
truly are a genius.

- Got it.
- Wait, how did you get

that so fast?

Come back one time.

I must say I am impressed
by how your mind works.

You were able to do all of this

by looking at
everything just once.

So, what do we know?

We have to be very careful
and make sure we're separating

the facts from speculation.

To solve this case it's not
gonna be about what we know,

but what we can prove.

Okay, so, where do we start?

Well we have
what was reported.

Now we need to talk to everyone
and see if things match up.

Finally.

I get to interrogate
some of these...

We're not cops and no charges
have been pressed on anyone.

Even if you have suspicions,
you can't let on.

You have to be direct and
vague at the same time.

Interested and uninterested

so your questions
don't arouse suspicion.

Just be exactly what
they see, a kid.

(HANDS SLAPPING)
(MOUTHS WARBLING)

Thank you for taking
the time to help me

with my article Mr. Parker.

Don't mention it Gabby.

I always have time

for Hidden Orchard's
very own Walter Cronkite.

I'm more of a
Barbara Walters fan.

(LAUGHS) Touche.

Now how can I help you.?

I'm doing an
article for my blog

on the recent crime wave
that has hit Hidden Orchard.

Whoa, hold up just a minute,

I wouldn't exactly say
Hidden Orchard has been hit

- by a crime wave.
- Very well.

What would you say?

Now what did I do to earn
the pleasure of this visit?

Hola Senor Sanchez
(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE).

(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Now what is this
article for again baby?

It's for next year's
economics class.

I heard Mr. Zander can be
a real stickler for detail

so I thought I might as
well get started early.

I just have a few
questions about the number

of Airbnbs popping
up in the area.

Oh girl, pull up a
seat 'cause I got plenty

to say about that.

Now, I know you've heard about
the recent break-ins as well,

mm-hmm, and between me and you,
God don't like ugly, mm-mm.

All I've heard are
rumors and hearsay,

but would love to get the 411
from someone who really knows

what's going on in
the neighborhood.

Oh, well, where do I start?

You might want something
sweet for this.

I really appreciate
all of your help girls,

but I can't think
of anything else

that I've not already
told the police.

I thought your article
was about Airbnbs.

We just wanna make
sure we're thorough

in our investigation,
I mean our paper.

Not a problem.

You two mind helping me in
the garden while we do this?

I'm not so big
on manual labor.

How about for a slice
of my homemade pecan pie?

Now you're talking
my language Mrs. P.

(TOOLS BANGING)

(WATER SPLASHING)

(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Whatever the hell that means.

(TAILGATE SLAMMING)

Girl, that pie was so good.

Oop, I mean, oh my gosh,

but the only crime I could see
her getting responsible for

- is making a pie that good.
- Right.

- Oh!
- Excuse me,

why don't you watch
where the hell you're...

- Oh Michael, I mean (LAUGHS)...
- Nah, you're right Gabriella,

I'm sorry, are you okay?

To be honest I'm running
50 different errands

for my father, I should
probably slow down a bit.

Mm, Gabriella.

Yeah you should or you
might just miss what's right

- in front of you.
- Apology accepted.

Cool.

What are you guys doing here?

Michael!

Stop talking to those girls.

I need you to run to
the library with me.

All right, I'll
be right there.

(SIGHS) Well, it's
good to see you two.

Hopefully we'll
bump into each other.

I mean, see each
other again soon.

Yeah, I'd like that.

- Ooh.
- Stop.

Oh, by the way, you
girls haven't been

by the library
recently have you?

No, you haven't seen us in
the library lately have you?

I mean why do you ask?

No reason, I gotta go.

Stay outta trouble, please!

(HANDS SLAPPING)
(MOUTHS WARBLING)

- Strike a pose.
- Strike a pose.

(HANDS SLAPPING)
(FINGERS SNAPPING)

(BOTH) We out.

Pick me up the
same time tomorrow.

Oh yeah, I was gonna be
here for breakfast anyway.

- What?
- Your mom's invited me.

(GABBY SIGHS)
What did I do?

Oh come on.

Anybody who can burn
that good in my book

at least deserves a chance.

Or not.

(DOOR SHUTTING)

Hey one time, how's it going
with your friend in there?

(DOOR SHUTTING)
Nevermind.

(PAGE FLIPPING)

(GABBY) Let's go over
a list of suspects.

Here.

I read that crimes
are usually committed

- by someone you know.
- Right, after talking

to the neighbors we
know that the new Airbnb

wasn't what everyone
wanted around here.

Right.
(KEYS CLICKING)

Based on the police
reports, jewelry, a computer,

and a few other pricey
items were stolen,

but isn't it a bit weird

that there hasn't been any
other burglaries around here

- before or after?
- Yeah, don't break-ins

usually happen in waves.

Usually you'll start to see
some type of pattern right?

But this just seems like
one big random robbery.

Right a random robbery in
which nobody saw anything.

As many nosy neighbors
as this place has,

including you, it's very
odd nobody saw anything.

Yeah, to get past me
you've gotta be real good.

I mean I know everything

that's going on in
this neighborhood.

That's why I think it's
gotta be somebody outside

of this area.

I mean I know all of
these people's business.

Maybe not everything.

Let's go over our suspects again

and make sure we're
not missing anything.

We have Ms. Jones,
the HOA President,

she hates all the Airbnbs
popping up in the area

and was super mad about the
Parker's opening their Airbnb

in her secluded
inn at the Orchard.

She did seem a little
pissed to say the least

and her behavior definitely
makes her a suspect.

But isn't she a little too old

to be running around
robbing folks?

I wouldn't put it past
her, but I'm just sayin'.

Never rule out anybody
this early in the game.

Hm, then we have me compadre,

everyone's favorite
gardener, Senor Sanchez.

I hate to say it, but he
makes the perfect suspect.

- That's a bit racist.
- Isn't he the only one

in this neighborhood who has
access to everybody's house?

My bad, and yes he is.

And he knows
everyone's schedule.

- Then we have Ms. Kim.
- Not a suspect.

Yes she is!

She lives in this neighborhood,
that makes her a suspect.

Ms. Kim's habits
make her too visible

to local authorities,

I don't think she wants any
extra attention from anybody.

If anyone's trying to live
off the radar, it's her.

True, but, playing
devil's advocate,

that could be the very
reason that she is a suspect.

I mean going off of what
you were just saying.

If she truly wanted
to live off the radar,

she would be one
of the main people

that didn't want the
Airbnbs in the neighborhood.

It draws too much attention
to her and her special garden.

Good point.

What about the Perkins.

Mr. Perkins, no.

Mrs. Perkins, maybe.

Why are you so sure
about Mr. Perkins?

You have your
thing, I have mine.

Mine is telling me that Mr.
Perkins is not one of them.

Am I 100% sure?

No, but I'm going with
my gut on this one.

I don't really see a
motive for either of them.

Yeah, me neither.

What about Mr. Patricks?

I don't really see
how Daddy Warbucks fits

into this whole thing.

I would think that he's too
busy counting his own money

to deal with petty crimes
in our little neighborhood.

How much do you know
about Mr. Patricks?

Aside from the fact
that he's crazy rich,

I mean he's some type of real
estate genius or something.

(KNUCKLES KNOCKING)

(MOM) Lulu you in there?

Yes, where else would I be?

(MATTRESS BOUNCING)

Why is this door closed?

You all better not have any
fine tailed boys in here

being all under-lady-like.

- No mama.
- Mm-hmm.

'Cause I know what I was
doing when I was your age.

- Mama!
- I'm joking.

Come on, you girls
come outta this room

and have lunch
before it gets cold.

I didn't realize your mom
was an old school freak.

She said she was just
playing Gabby, dang.

(LIGHT MUSIC)

- Oh!
- What the heck?

(LAUGHS) Sorry, guess
I gotta work on my entry.

We just might be
able to solve this case

if we don't kill
one another first.

Oh so you got jokes now.

Well I almost broke my neck.

I looked over the list
again and I realized

who we were missing.

Who?

Ms. Kim's annoying
ass nephew Dae Dae.

- Dae Dae?
- Mm-hmm.

How did we forget Dae Dae?

Girl, everybody tries
to forget Dae Dae.

I mean what the hell
is with Dae Dae?

He should be a suspect
off name alone.

He's like a snake, always
slithering around (LAUGHING).

I knew my ears were tingling.

Y'all over here
talking about me huh?

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

We weren't talking about you,

we just simply mentioned
your name and poof,

like black magic you appeared.

Okay, what's the
difference, I mean?

For me to be talking
about you I would have

to say words in order to
express my thoughts, feelings,

and opinions about you, or
something related to you,

but dude, I have no
thoughts, feelings,

or opinions about you.

So you were talking about me.

- Oh my God please.
- So Dean, how long

have you been back?

Long enough to know when
I'm being interrogated.

And it's Dae Dae, not Dean.

What are you trouble
makers up to this time?

Well, since you asked,

the break-in at the
Parker residence.

Yeah, what you
know about that?

I know I don't like
that accusatory tone

- y'all giving a brother.
- Oh, we're not accusing you

of anything Dean,
I mean Dae Dae,

we're just asking if you're
aware of what's been happening

in the neighborhood since
you've been away for awhile.

All right, first of all,
let's get it straight.

Me being away, that was
through my own choice.

- Choice?
- Yes, a choice.

I chose to leave 'cause
I didn't wanna turn out

like everybody thought I would.

- And what's that?
- Nothing.

- Why do you say that?
- Because I realized

that everybody really didn't
have my best interests in mind.

Who are you referring to?

You all don't remember
who I used to work for?

- You had a job job.
- No I don't.

Okay, you know what?

Why am I?

Okay look, I got to go.

I got to DM a D and D

and I ain't got time to
talk to you all anymore.

- Peace.
- Wait!

You never told us who
you used to work for.

(DAE DAE) None ya.

Why's he being so secretive?

'Cause snitches get stitches.

What (LAUGHING)?

Look, you can take the
brother outta the hood,

- but you can't take the...
- Just stop!

No, but seriously though.

I think we may have found
who we're looking for.

(LIGHT MUSIC)

(BIKE CRASHES)
I can't wait.

Now what is so
important that you two had

to talk to me immediately about?

We think we solved the case.

- What case?
- The Parker's Airbnb robbery.

What are you
two talking about?

Wait, please tell me that
wasn't you two at the library.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

But what we do know is who
broke into the Parker's.

Did you know Dae
Dae is back in town?

Dae Dae?

As a matter of fact I did.

- Wait, what?
- You brought me out here

to tell me that Dae Dae
is the one responsible

for the Airbnb robbery?

Well I find that pretty close
to impossible to believe.

- Why do you say that?
- Because Dae Dae was with me

the night the Parker's
condo got robbed.

Wait, say what?

We were playing D
and D at Kenny's house

when I got the call.

Look, let's just pretend this
conversation never happened

as long as you two agree
to let the police work

be done by police.

And another thing,

don't be so quick to
judge a book by its cover.

You two grew up with
Dae Dae didn't you?

(LULU) Well, I guess we can
scratch Dae Dae off the list.

I was so sure he had
something to do with it.

(GABBY) I think we're
looking at this all wrong.

What do you mean?

I think there are a few
more pieces of the puzzle

- that we're missing.
- I say we take the thing

back to the store and
get our money back.

I mean I was just so sure
that he had something

to do with it.

But if not him, who?

(GABBY) That's what
I'm trying to figure out.

I mean the timing even lined up.

- Okay, I feel like crap.
- Yeah, me too.

I don't even know what we
should be looking for anymore.

Dae Dae said something
about the first person

- he used to work for.
- Shouldn't we leave

well enough alone and
back off of Dae Dae?

He mentioned the first
person he used to work for

for a reason.

Everybody knows
he used to sling

for his auntie back in the day.

No, everyone assumes he
used to sling for his auntie

back in the day.

Dae Dae here was not the
person you know today.

That's Dae Dae?

That's Dean before
he was Dae Dae.

Recognize anybody else?

- Hey girls, how you doing?
- Hey Mr. Sanchez.

(FRANCISCO) Can I
offer both of you a glass

of my award-winning lemonade?

You know I'm
keeping this right?

- Yes please.
- Not a problem.

Have a seat.

What did I do to earn the
pleasure of your company today?

We wanted to ask
you about something.

- Absolutely.
- This is bomb Mr. Sanchez!

(LAUGHING) Thank you girl.

It's an old family recipe.

Wow, can I offer
you both another?

- Mm.
- We were also hoping

you could help us
out with something.

Well I promise
to do my very best.

My goodness.

- Where did you find this?
- Our yearbook obviously.

(GABBY) We thought
the school took it

for job placement services.

I haven't looked like
this in a very long time.

- Job placement you say?
- Didn't you hire Dean

as a student worker
back in the day?

You mean Dae Dae?

He never worked for me.

In fact, it was Dae
Dae that helped me

get the job at the school.

- Dae Dae?
- Yes sir,

Dae Dae, Mr. Patrick,
and the Parkers

all put in a good word for me.

In fact, they were all
in the original photo.

This one is just cropped
to Dae Dae and myself,

but the original has us all.

Wait, they put in
a good word with who?

Well, don't tell
anyone I told you this,

but Mr. Conners is
Mr. Patrick's nephew,

so a few good words from a
few people in the neighborhood

and I was in.

I have nothing but good things

to say about Dae Dae regardless

of what other people think.

Why do you say that?

(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Sometimes it's better
to let people think

what they wanna
think rather than

to waste your time trying
to change people's minds

because at the end of the day,

they're gonna think what
they wanna think anyways.

Remember that and save
your energy for those

that are not a
waste of your time.

Now, enough of
Sanchez's life lessons.

Who wants more lemonade?

(GABBY) I wonder if
Mr. Zachary's gonna

come back next school year?

I hope not, (LAUGHS)
that would be crazy.

Oh my God.

- What in the entire...
- Hey, cougar's gotta eat too.

You did not just say that.

Wait, if things work out,

that would make you and
Mike brother and sister.

You are no longer
welcome here.

What?

What did I say?

(LULU) Leave me.

Bye.

(TECHNO MUSIC)

Well, isn't this quaint.

If I woulda known you'd be
here I would of invited my son.

You and Michael are
good friends aren't you?

I'm probably
supposed to say that.

Lulu, Gabby, and Michael
are all really good friends.

They've know him since
what, grade school?

Mike is such a good kid.

I'm sure he gets
that from his father.

He all right.

My goodness girl, you
sure do know how to cook.

Homemade Italian sausage,
coconut sticky rice

with sweet and sour sauce
which is your favorite.

Your mom's
award-winning coleslaw

and some homemade
sweet potato pie.

- You go girl.
- Thank you honey.

She all right.

All right?

Girl please.

So, Chief Wellers,
what's the latest

on the Parker's burglary?

I'm sorry?

You know, suspects,
recovered items, leads,

where do we currently
stand with things?

What are the next steps?

So, have you and Lulu made
any progress on your case?

Case?

What case?

Oh, I thought you
two were investigating

the Parker robbery.

Why would you think that?

Well I mean I used to
do some detective work

back in my day, but
that's all a moot point

if you two aren't doing
your own investigation.

So how was your day honey

in the amazingly boring
world of finance?

You ain't gonna believe
what happened to Richard

up on second failure today.

Well, unfortunately young
lady I'm not at liberty

to discuss that with civilians
not directly affected

by the incident.

I had no idea you had such an
interest in law enforcement.

Yeah, me and Gabby been
working on this case.

For some reason we
just can't figure out...

You know, now
that you mention it,

I have had a few complaints

about you two
questioning neighbors,

details about the case,
specifics not yet made open

to the public.

You two haven't been to the
library lately have you?

(GABBY MUMBLES)

You know how neighbors gossip,

what you don't tell 'em
they'll make up on their own

and swear they got it
from somebody somewhere.

(GABBY) So you used
to be a detective?

That was a different life,
before I met your father.

I was in the force for 10 years

and then I became
a private detective

and then I switched
over to cyber crime.

It's a lot safer
behind a computer.

How did you get into
that line of work?

My father was a cop and
he will never admit it,

but he wanted a boy to
follow in his footsteps

and he got me instead.

Do you miss it?

Yes, and no.

Mostly no right now,

but I can recognize
it when I see it.

What advice would you
give someone who thought

they had an investigation
clearly figured out,

only to find out
they were 100% wrong?

I'm asking for a
good friend of mine.

Of course.

First, I'd say it's
better to find out

that you've go
something wrong than

to have someone else
find it out for you.

And second, people are never
as simple or as complicated

as we make them out to be,
suspect everyone and everything.

And let the evidence
speak for itself.

A good detective knows
when to stop using this

and to start using this.

The best advice I
could give your friend

is that at some point you
have to trust your gut.

Oh, so is that what

Oh, good morning Ms. Jackson.

Mm-hmm, think you cute,

but you gotta stay outta
other folks business.

I'm sorry Dee, I don't know
what you're referring to.

Mm-hmm, Lulu, come get your
little narrow-tailed friend

before she get hurt
messing with me

this early in the morning.

What?

You don't like Bob Marley?

No I don't.

Nor do I like little nosy kids.

Dang mama, thought
something was wrong

the way you was yelling.

- Something is very wrong Lu.
- Oh no, what is it?

Your mom doesn't
like Bob Marley.

What black person in America
doesn't like Bob Marley?

(LAUGHING) You know what?

I can't with this little heifer.

Lulu, get your friend
and both of you all

get up outta my face now.

- What?
- That's exactly what I said.

I mean who doesn't
like Bob Marley?

(LAUGHING) I can't
with you, knock it off.

I love your mom,
she's such a trip.

Apparently y'all had
a moment this morning.

("I SHOT THE SHERIFF"
BY BOB MARLEY)

No you didn't.

I hate that I missed that.

Okay girl, pop them covers off

and show me all that hotness.

I need to show the world that
I wake up looking this good.

Oh God, it's too
early in the morning

- for you to be this vain.
- No it ain't!

Come on.

All right fine, if you're
not gonna take a photo,

I will just crop you
out, ok (TONGUE ROLLING).

- What did you just say?
- I'm gonna crop you out

of my photo, see, perfection.

- That's it.
- What's it?

- Lu, you're a genius.
- What?

Come on, let's go.

Where we going?

Mr. Fairbanks gotta be
the one who knows, right?

(GABBY) Yeah, I mean he
has worked at the school

for quite a long
time so you know?

(LULU) Yeah, exactly.

Hey Mr. Fairbanks.

My summer just started
and you two are still at it?

I must say I'm impressed though.

I mean school just
ended a few days ago

and here you are.

What are you doing here Lulu?

I'm with her, just
trying to crack this debate

we've been having over this
old photo in the yearbook.

Oh, nothing like a good
healthy debate I always say.

Let me see if I can
help you two out.

- Can't make any promises now.
- We totally understand.

And thank you so much for
helping us out with our debate.

You know I'm sorry I
won't be able to help you

on this one, these
pictures were taken

before I was at the school.

- Sorry I couldn't be more help.
- That's okay Mr. Fairbanks.

Thanks for your time anyway.

You know, there
may be someone I know

that can help you out.

(BOTH) Who?

(LIGHT MUSIC)

Wait, wait, wait,
what about the cameras?

We're not going near
the computer station

so we'll be fine.

In fact, it may good
to be seen on camera

being nowhere near
the computer station.

- Lu come on!
- Okay.

But I just told Chief Wellers
we were nowhere near here.

- When did you do that?
- The other night at dinner,

I did it to throw
him off our trail.

None of that should matter,

we now have a reason
to be here, remember?

And Mr. Fairbanks
can vouch for us.

Now stop worrying and come on.

Okay, well actually
they're coming toward me now.

All right, well say
hello to your wife for me

and you both are invited

to our place for
bridge next Sunday.

- Okay, by love.
- Sh!

Don't shush me, I
can't help if you read

on a third grade level Donnie.
(KIDS LAUGHING)

Hey lovely ladies.

Come with me.

Mr. Fairbanks mentioned
something about a photo

he wanted me to take a look at.

That's correct.

We were told by Mr.
Sanchez in the photo there

that this is a cropped
photo and not the original.

Well you've come
to the right place.

I worked for Charles
Sinclair for 20 years

and 10 of those I was
the yearbook moderator.

So, let's see.

Oh, look at here, Mr. Sanchez.

Who's that?

It's Dean?

You mean Dae Dae?

Who the hell is Dae Dae?

Nevermind, you were saying?

Mm, Senor Sanchez, yes indeed.

Mrs. Goldstein,
you were saying?

Oh yes, yes, yes, yes,
I do remember the day.

More importantly, I remember
this photo kicked up quite

- a bit of dust.
- What do you mean?

Let's just say this
is a very small town

with very big mouths.

Come with me.

Some people call me a pack rat

and others go as far as hoarder.

I just say, and lucky for you,

I like to keep a record of
all the things I've done.

And what can I say?

A woman has accomplished
many things.

Yes you have,
way to go Mrs. G.

And as I was saying,

knowing how people like
to talk in this town,

there was no way I
was gonna post this

in the school yearbook.

There's already been
rumors that those two

were having an affair.

I wasn't about to let
the school yearbook

be a further confirmation
of the dirty thoughts people

were already thinking.

And were they
having an affair?

Well, if you ask me

if I saw anything or heard
anything other than rumors, no.

But if you ask me
what's my gut feeling,

let's just say a picture's
worth a thousand words

or maybe in this instant, 2,000.

- May I?
- Absolutely.

(CAMERA CLICKING)

Okay, this is starting
to make my head hurt.

I feel ya on that one.

Kidding me that we have all
the right puzzle pieces,

I just think we're trying to
put together the wrong picture.

Okay, that makes
things much clearer.

What I'm saying is
these dots all connect,

but not in the way
we thought they did.

Oh, well why didn't
you just say that?

- I thought I just did.
- You're killing me G.

Please tell me you
have some aspirin.

At home, I mean, I
don't have any on me.

Then why are you still here?

(GABBY SIGHS)

(SHEARS CLIPPING)

Oh Gabby come here a
minute, I've got something

for you and Lulu.

Hey Ms. Kim.

Out here working
hard as usually?

Oh, this is not work to
me, this is my relaxation.

That and this here.

Here's some fresh
nectarines for you and Lulu.

- I just picked them.
- No way,

you didn't have to do that
Ms. Kim, thank you so much.

Don't mention it.

Feels like it was just
yesterday I was watching you

and Dean run around in the
backyard and look at you now,

all grown up and as
beautiful as can be.

Thank you for always being
such a good friend to Dae Dae.

Can I ask you a
question about Dae Dae?

I'm trying to settle an
argument I'm having with Lulu.

Sure baby, go ahead.

Did Dae Dae ever work for
Mr. Sanchez back in the day?

Mr. Sanchez?

Not that I can remember.

I know he had different
odd jobs here and there,

but nothing I can
recall with Mr. Sanchez.

But I do remember the nightmare
he had with Mr. Patricks.

Mr. Patricks?

Working for Mr. Patricks
was Dean's first job.

Dean found out that Mr. Patricks
was falsifying documents

and was using Dean's
signature as a notary witness

and then when Dean confronted
Mr. Patricks about it,

of course Mr. Patricks denied it

and then a short while later
Mr. Patricks accused Dean

of theft, pressed charges,
and then had him arrested

and that's when Dean became
Dae Dae to the Orchard.

How was he able to get away

with doing something like that?

In the Orchard as
in life, money talks.

You wouldn't happen
to remember the name

of that company would you?

Something that
started with a T,

something like Thompson, Tristan,
Triton Brothers Insurance,

something like that but I
can't remember for certain.

Thank you so much Ms. Kim,

you've been more
helpful than you know.

So, who did I help
win the argument baby?

It looks like we were
both wrong on this one,

but better we find out ourselves

than have someone find it out.

Oh gee, did I just
say that out loud?

- Say what baby?
- Nevermind.

I gotta go.

- Thanks again Ms. Kim.
- Okay baby.

Hey, don't be a stranger
and tell Lulu I said "hi"

and come back for more
nectarines if you want.

(SACK RUSTLING)

This don't look
like no aspirin.

It's in the bag along
with some fresh nectarines

from Ms. Kim.

Good looking out Ms. Kim.

What's that?

Dae Dae's first
place of employment.

But I thought Dae
Dae wasn't a suspect.

He's not.

Where the damn aspirin?

Like I said, it's in the bag.

What?

(LIGHT MUSIC)

- This is it?
- Okay so,

what are we supposed to do?

Just stand here all day and
wait for something to happen.

- You hungry.
- No, not really.

My treat.

Girl, you ain't say
nothing about no cupcakes.

(WHIMSICAL MUSIC)

Mm, man, I know red velvet's

the white trash of
the cupcake family,

but I just don't understand
how something so bad for you

could be so good.

I know, this ain't
nothing but sugar.

Yeah, I'm gonna need a nap

after about two more of these.

Here you go
ladies, here you go.

Two cups of my wife's
famous hot chocolate

with extra marshmallows,
on the house.

Thank you so much Mr. Lawson.

- You didn't have to do that.
- You're welcome.

Yo, we got her!

Well hello Mrs. Parker.

Hey Mrs. Parker!

Oh, look at the shock
she put on them cakes!

Hey all, what y'all
over here looking at?

We think Mrs. Parker
here is having an affair

with the owner of that
insurance company.

Trinity Brothers Insurance?

Mr. Patricks?

- You know Mr. Patricks?
- Yeah, how do you know

Mr. Patricks?

Boy, please, I mean, I
don't know know Mr. Patricks,

but I have seen him here
in the shop a few times

and occasionally he
comes in with this woman,

they just grab a
seat in the back.

Did you all say an affair?

Is this the woman here
that he comes in with?

- Ooh, yeah, that's her.
- Yeah, she's married,

- but not to him.
- Ooh!

I knew it, I knew something
was going on with those two.

- Trifling.
- Why are you mad

at the man?

I mean some people
got it like that.

As long as you ain't
got no kids involved.

Oh babe wait.

Y'all kids, are
you all involved?

I'm so sorry you
had to see this.

Is that your mom or your daddy?

(BOTH) No!

- Oh.
- Boy, I am hot today.

What a way to
find out your mama

and your daddy hoeing
in these streets.

You gotta nerve.

Used eye shop as a hooker.

Well, we need proof that an
actual affair is happening.

We can't afford to
be wrong on this.

What we need is to
get into that building.

What?

Ladies, ladies, ladies.

Stop click clacking
'cause it's time

to start smacking, all right?

I got the cakes on
deck, here you go.

Try to grab that one.

You are welcome, absolutely.

How are you beautiful?

- I'm doing wonderful.
- Grab that one,

that's lemon meringue.

- Oh thank you.
- Mm, and you got

them inches looking all sexy.

Look at you.

You look you like some
vegan in your life.

I got that triple fudge
vegan right there.

Oh, thank you,
how'd you guess?

Hm, 'cause I see them
edges laid, yes I do.

I'm not gonna forget you baby.

- Grab that one right there.
- Thank you.

Absolutely.

Now ladies and gentlemen,
I want y'all to make sure

that y'all support your
black-owned businesses all right?

There she is looking
all strong, scrumptious.

How you doing brother?

Are should I say sister?

You looking like you just came
off Peach Street last night.

I got something
for you all right?

I want you to try
this right here.

Try that.

Tell me what you think.

Mm, okay, not so
much, not so much.

Well look, I'm gonna
sweeten the deal all right,

I got something just
for you, try that one.

Mm-hmm, go ahead.

(SWANKY MUSIC)

Yes!

Look at you girl, eating
that cupcake (LAUGHING).

There it is.

Now look, I got something
special in here for Mr. Patricks.

Where's his office?

His office is just
around the corner.

- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

- I'm gonna go out back.
- Okay.

- (KNUCKLES RAPPING)
- Come in.

Huh, how you doing sir?

No need to get up my
man, no need to get up.

I just wanted to come in and
personally introduce myself,

one local black-owned
businessman to the next

and plus, my mama told me,

"Never come into another
man's home empty handed."

Mm-hmm, yes sir, yes sir.

This is just a
little something made

with a whole lotta love.

My wife and I, we own the
cupcake shop across the street.

Just wanted to come
in and let you know,

you and your employees
can come in any time

to satisfy their sweet tooth.

Plus we have a discount for
all the local businesses

in the area.

Well, I don't
know what to say.

Just when you think good old
fashioned business owners

are gone, here you come
knocking at my door.

It's a pleasure to meet you sir.

And please, give my
best to your wife.

Aha, the pleasure's all mine.

And thank you for the well
wishes to my better half.

Look, I almost didn't
make it up here.

Your employees downstairs
almost took everything I had,

but I just wanted to make
sure I had something special

for the both of you.

I'm sorry, this is Ms.
Parker, a client of mine

and a fine, upstanding
resident of Hidden Orchards.

Oh I can see that.

Mrs. Parker how are you?

Mm-hmm, ah, yeah, I
know you'd like that.

Now look, I'm Tyree
Watson like I said

and my wife is Tanisha.

We own the cupcake
shop across the street.

Make sure you tell your
friends too about us all right?

Mm, well, I can't wait
to taste one myself.

I promise you you will
not be disappointed.

All right, look I ain't gonna
take up more a your all day,

- you all have a good one.
- Nice to meet you Tyree.

(TYREE) Yes sir.

(WHIMSICAL MUSIC)

Mm-hmm.

Uh-uh.

(BODIES SLAMMING)
Oh!

Oh!

Oh my God.

I feel like I'm digging
through old food.

Oh my God, is that throw up?

- This better work?
- Have faith girlfriend.

My stuff always works.

Sometimes.

(BAGS RUSTLING)

Found it!

(WHIMSICAL MUSIC)

(MRS. PARKER)
So how much longer

do you think this is gonna take?

I just want this whole
thing to be over with.

Just want us to get
on with our lives.

- Uh, girl!
- We just need

to watch ourselves
and not be suspicious.

We just waiting on the check
from the insurance company.

Once we get that, we
outta here for good.

Now, if you take care of
your part with Mr. Sanchez.

(MRS. PARKER) Please,
that man will do

whatever I ask him to,

whenever I ask him
too (LAUGHING).

(LIPS SMACKING)
(MAN MOANING)

All righty then,
I think it's enough

of that one right there.

- Woo!
- Oh my God.

This makes so much sense.

But why involve Mr. Sanchez?

He didn't do
anything to anybody.

That doesn't
matter to these two.

He's the one person that
people will believe.

It also looks bad
that he's the only one

that has access to
everyone's home.

He could even be working with
these two for all we know.

No!

Not (SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE).

We can't let them
get away with this?

Listen, you all on
limited amount of time

so whatever y'all gonna do,

y'all need to make
it happen fast.

Yeah, 'cause as soon
as that check hit,

- they in the wind.
- Gone.

Well look, don't trip
though, don't trip.

We got y'all back.

So what's the plan?

(LIGHT MUSIC)

Oh Gabby, look who
decided to drop by.

- Yep.
- So nice to see

- What you got there?
- Please don't tell me

you got a damn
cupcake in your hand.

I'm sorry Mrs.
Parker, what was that?

I said, what you got there?

In your hand.

Tell her they're from my mom.

Oh this, this is
from Lulu's mom.

She made a bunch for us today

and told me I had to bring
some home for you and dad.

- Oh, thank you baby.
- You're welcome, mom.

What your daddy don't
know won't hurt him.

Why don't you go ahead and
get washed up for dinner.

Okay, nice seeing
you again Mrs. Parker.

Nice to see you again.

Girl, do you

- Mm-hmm.
- Before it's gone.

- Mm, that smarts.
- Too late.

- What the hell

- What did you say?

- The pig is out the blanket.
- What?

Oh good, 'cause I
wanna give that whore

a piece of my mind.

- She got the nerve!
- Uh-uh T, uh-uh.

Remember them girls?

We are undercover so take
your ass under the covers.

Okay, I bring it
down just a little bit

and put on my good face.

Hello there, how
you doing today sis?

How can I put some
sweetness in your life?

Oh, thank you so much.

But I'm gonna be good today
and just have a cup of coffee.

Just a cup a coffee?

Now I know you're trying
to watch your figure,

other people watching it too,

but one of these cupcakes
ain't gonna hurt you!

Okay, I'll have a red velvet
and a large cup of coffee.

Okay, coming right up.

I think it was
your husband who

came through the
insurance company

across the street handing out
free cupcakes the other day?

Oh that sounds like my Tyree.

Cream or sugar?

I'll have two of each please.

Is he around today?

You say something?

Your husband, is
he around today?

- Again sis?
- Your husband,

is your husband in the
shop with you today?

Oh, forgive me, I
am deaf in one ear,

I can't hardly hear out
the other one (LAUGHING).

That's all right though baby,

just makes it easier for
me to sneak up on you.

Boy you better stop
playing like that

with me at work.

- Ah, how are you?
- Well, there you are.

I was just asking
your wife about you.

Sorry, I am a one-woman man
unless she has said otherwise,

- then what's cracking?
- Oh, you better stop playing

- like that.
- I said unless

- you said otherwise.
- All right now Tyree.

How may I be of service?

I was wondering
if you can help me

and tell me if you've seen this
girl in your shop recently.

Um, nah, I don't
recognize her.

Is she in some kind of trouble?

No, nothing like that.

I'm just checking in
on her for a friend.

There was a family situation
and just wanna make sure

that she's okay.

I thought I saw her near
your shop the other day.

That's right, that's right.

You were in the insurance
company the other day.

Exactly.

Have you or your
wife seen this girl

in the shop in a few days?

- Babe.
- Yeah?

- Have you seen?
- Nah, she don't look

familiar at all.

I'm sure I woulda
recognized her here.

Yeah, I haven't seen her
in or around the shop at all,

but we can keep a
look out for ya.

Oh, that would be great.

If either of you have
seen her around the area,

please give me a call.

I think it would help her
mom sleep a lot better.

I'm sure sweetie pie.

Now you be safe and you go on

and don't worry your
little pretty self

- about all this, okay?
- Oh well, that's so sweet

of the both of you.

- All right, mm-hmm.
- You're welcome

- Thank you.
- Uh-huh.

Mm-hmm, (CHUCKLING)

- Shut up.
- Who do you say it is?

(LIGHT MUSIC)

Lord have mercy.

- Hey.
- First, I wanna return these.

Oh my favorite.

Much better than the "Fifty
Shades of Gray" crap.

- Did you like it?
- Yes, you see I'm returning

it two weeks late and
happily paying my late fee.

- Okay, and I will take it.
- K, but first,

do you mind helping
me out with something?

- Sure.
- Have you seen

this young lady
around here lately?

Well honey, kids come in and
outta here all the damn time.

Hell, after awhile they
all start to look the same.

Is she in some kind of
trouble or something?

Oh no Ms. Goldstein, she was
working on some type of paper

and she wanted to
interview with me,

so I was just reaching
out to follow up.

Oh, aren't you being nice.

I'm sure she'll be
happy to hear that.

But I'm sorry she
hasn't been around,

but I'll keep my
eyes out for her

and I'll let her know
you're looking for her.

Oh no, that won't be
necessary Ms. Goldstein.

Actually, I kinda
wanted to surprise her

because at first I told
her I wasn't available,

but now I'm free.

Oh, okay.

You don't have to
worry about me,

- my lips are sealed.
- Thanks Ms. Goldstein.

Now, what was this book
that you were talking about?

Oh, I have it right here.

As you see I like
to keep it close.

(MRS. PARKER) I see.

I'll take that whenever
you all are ready.

Thank you, thank you.
(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

- (PHONE DINGING)
- Look Mr. Sanchez.

This right here, this is small
token of my appreciation man.

I gotta thank you for
just thinking about me.

No need to thank me Dae Dae,

it was you who put
in all the hard work.

I know man, but no one
has ever took the time

just to believe in me,
nobody outside of my aunt.

(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

You wanna know what I
saw when I look at you?

I saw myself.

I saw a younger,

smarter version of who
I always wanted to be.

Appreciate that.

(PHONE DINGING)

Somebody sure Mr. Popular
today, he's poppin'.

- Don't hate.
- Oh, so now I'm a hater?

Don't hate the
player, hate the game.

Oh wow, since you
do me like that,

you lose all your
cool points today man.

What do you mean?

Do they still see that today?

Am I not work enough
for you Dae Dae?

- Wow.
- Is my conversation no

(SPEAKING FOREIGN
LANGUAGE) smart?

- No lit?
- No,

excuse me, does anybody
have a urban dictionary

that he can use?

I need a urban dictionary
at table five, right here.

I'm sorry man, I
don't mean to be rude.

You good man, somebody
blowing you up like that,

you gotta be doing
something right.

You gotta be putting
it on 'em man.

Remember son, a
gentleman never tells.

Oh so now I'm not a gentleman.

(PHONE DINGING)
Okay, okay, I got you,

I got you.

Let's see.

- I be right back.
- Be right back huh.

I'll just step
outside for a second.

Go do your thing man.

Go do your thing.

Wait, bathroom that
way, the bar that way,

where the hell he going?

Let me go see, he ain't
going nowhere real quick.

Is that Ms. Parker?

(MRS. PARKER) Oh, it's
so good to see you poppy.

Get on with your
bad self Mr. Sanchez.

- Oh, ooh.
- Picture of this real quick.

(CAMERA CLICKING)

(MRS. PARKER) So much.

Yeah, I see, okay, okay.

(FRANCISCO) I see
you later, all right.

Adios lady.
(DOOR SHUTTING)

(LIGHT MUSIC)

Oh my God!

Ooh, if I wasn't a Christian.

How is she gonna treat
Mr. Sanchez like that?

How, she gonna treat
Mr. Parker like that?

This lady's just evil!

Looks like someone
has been pretty busy.

And how do you think
she knows we know?

I think she's very suspicious,

but I don't think she
knows everything we know.

- At least not yet.
- They're gonna get away

with this aren't they?

Adults always getting
away with stuff!

- Not this time.
- How are we gonna stop them?

Who's gonna listen to
what we have to say?

Lu, you're one of the smartest

and most daring people I know.

I mean I wish I had half
of your courage at times,

don't start doubting
yourself now.

Yes hurdles and
yes there's smarts,

there is no way they're smarter
than you and I put together.

We got this.

Now we're only gonna
get one shot at this

so we have to make it count.

I have an idea,

but we're gonna need some help.

Look, I don't know what
that little brat knows,

but I know she knows
something and I've put

in too much time and
effort to just have

some little spoiled
brat get in the way.

Just calm down and
don't act so paranoid.

I'm not acting paranoid.

Look, I wanna get my money
and I wanna get outta here.

I hear you baby.

That's actually why
I was calling you.

Guess what I have in my hand.

Don't play games
with me tonight.

With your nasty self.

(LAUGHING) Actually I was
talking about your check,

but I can take my
nasty elsewhere.

Quit acting so sensitive,
you know I didn't mean it.

You got a girl all
stressed out over here.

Well there's no need for that,

we don't have anything to
worry about at this point.

Tomorrow morning I
deposit the check,

two days after
that we outta here.

Two more days of this?

Listen, just do what
you would normally do

for the next two days.

We don't wanna raise any
suspicion at this point.

As a matter of fact, we
can leave up outta here

after the HOA meeting
this Thursday.

The HOA meeting, are
you outta your mind?

No, I am doing my presentation

on the homeowner's insurance
just like I scheduled.

Now if you keep the
same daily routine,

we don't have anything
to worry about.

Can you do that for
the next two days?

(MRS. PARKER SIGHS)
That's not an answer.

Can you do this?

If not, I'll be gone by morning.

Yes, two more days,
I can do two more days.

I gotta go, he just pulled up.

But promise me, in two days
this will all be over with.

I promise you
baby, two more days.

Okay, I gotta
go, love you, bye.

I love you too.

Two more days.

And it'll be over.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Hey baby, how was your day?

(MRS. PARKER)
Same ole, same ole.

Better now that you're here.

That's what I like to hear.

What do you say I take
my beautiful woman out

to a nice romantic dinner
at Armando's tonight?

- Ooh, tonight?
- Yes, tonight.

I just wanna take you out

and show off how
beautiful you are.

Ooh, well, that's
so sweet of you.

Let me go get ready for you.

Girl, you can just
wear what you got on.

- Ooh, I might just do that.
- Mm-hmm.

(MAN) That's crazy to hear
what's going on over there.

Things haven't
been the same guys

since you left all right,

so we got four
tickets to the game.

- Sounds good.
- You better come to the game.

- I'm gonna try to for sure.
- Listen to her all right?

- Hi Sticky!
- Jacqueline.

- Say hi.
- Gotta go to work.

- All right guys.
- Bye guys.

Okay, sounds good.

- Bye Sticky.
- Say bye.

- Bye.
- Bye guys.

I don't think we can call
them later

becuase I have work all
day. Until like 7.

You know what? By that time,
you're gonna

hit a bunch of traffic.
So don't even worry about it.

I will go to tonight's
HOA meeting

and I will pick up dinner on
the way home.

You're going to an HOA meeting
tonight?

Yes. Damn, is everybody in
this house

just think I'm completely
incompentent?

I mean, I can walk and
chew gum at the same tim.

I know, and it's so cute
when you

concentrate so hard to do
it.

Ha, ha, ha.

And I guess you think that's
funny too.

Now if I can just get her to
grow up

- and move out that fast.
- Stop it.

I'm kidding! Come on.

But I do gotta get going
before I'm late for work. Okay?

- Okay. Bye.
- I'll see you later.

(SNEAKY MUSIC)

Tonight?

7:30.

Okay. Get it together.

Time to make the call.

Okay. Here we go.

I can't believe we're doing
this.

I don't know why.
This was all your idea from the beginning.

Why you gotta bring up the
past?

- Did you make the call?
- Yeah, girl.

I called everybody.

- Then we should be good.
- Yeah.

Let's hope this works. I don't
wanna see

- them get away with this.
- Don't worry, my stuff

always works. Sometimes.

Well, let's just make
it one of those times.

Excuse me, everyone.

Excues me, everyone!

We'll go ahead and get
started with today's meeting.

(APPLAUSE)

Thanks so much for having me.
Let's give Miss Jones

another round of applause
for putting together

such another lovely event.

(APPLAUSE)

And I would also like to give
an applause to all of you

guys for finding out more
about how to protect your home.

Now, God forbid if

you need to collect on your
insurance.

But if you do,
we are there to make sure that

process gooes 100% hassle free.

Now, we put together a
small video presentation

that will further explain,
in greater detail,

what security Trinity Brothers
Insurance

can offer you as homeowners.

Buying and owning a home is
part of the American Dream.

And one of the largest and
most important investments

a family...

(UPBEAT HIP-HOP RHYTHM)

Last chance to turn back.

Best in homeowner's insurance-
coverage.

Offering various types
of insurance for large

and small single family homes,

condos and commercial
properties.

Our insurance offers coverage
for loss...

You guys are cutting it close.

- Did you get it?
- Yeah.

Thank you.

inuries that may
arise on the property.

In today's sever conditions...

Okay.

Good luck.

Not having homeowner's
insurance

is a major risk to any home.

How much longer do you
think this is gonna take?

I just want this whole
thing to be over with.

Just for us to get on with our
lives.

All the hard work has already
been done.

Excuse me but we're having some
type of

technical difficulty. Can you
please cut

cut that feed off? Cut that off!

Please, everybody just remain
calm. Please.

Well, there you have it folks.
The true culprit

behind the Parker's Air B-n-B
robbery.

Girls, do you mind telling
me exactly what in the hell

- is going on?
- I knew in my bones

- she was no good.
- This has to be some type of

cruel joke.

Look, I gues it all just makes
sense now.

I just can't believe that
you would do this to me.

- Expecially after all the...
- Finish that sentence, sweety

Now everybody, sit down

and shut up!

Especially you two little brats!

Damnit, Aldon!

I knew this was exactly what I
knew

was gonna happen.
It wasn't supposed to go down

like this. But you never want to
listen

to me. I told you we should've
gone a long time ago.

Oh, okay, so now you got

nothing to say, huh?

You know, I'm so sick of you
weak ass

pathetic men!

Guess what?

I'm done playing the victim.

That's right. I'm taking my
destiny into my

own hands. And ain't nobody in
here

gonna stop me from taking what's
mine!

Baby, you don't have to do all
of this.

Negro, please.
I put in way to much time to

just walk away empty handed. I
want

all the money that I was
promised.

Shut up, Angela!

Oh, well, look how found their
big

boy voice.

Don't worry, Aldon. The
insurance money

will never come back to you. As
a matter of

fact, after the transfer
I did this afternoon,

- hell, you won't even see a dime.
- You think you can screw me over

- like that and get away with it?
- Sit down!

Before you get sat down.

So all I was to you was a damn
paycheck.

No, you were means to me
collecting my

own paycheck. But

there's no hard feelings. We did
have some

pretty good times though. Didn't
we?

Now sit down. Everybody in here

just stop moving!

I wish you would. I'm just

itching to shoot the two of you.
You know,

I refuse to let either
one of you be my downfall.

You two need to learn
how to have a little more

respect for your elders.

That's just bad parenting.

And on that note,
I'm gonna make my way out of here.

Say my due.

Start living my best life.

Who are you calling a bad
parent?

Way to go, Cynthia.

Better late than never.

And you still know
how to make an entrance.

(WHIMSICAL MUSIC)

(PUNCH)

(BODY THUDS)

Odale, esse.

I never liked you, anyway.

I just want personally say
thank you to the both of you

for helping us out.

These two had a pretty
elaborate scheme going on.

Yeah, we wouldn've gotten away
with it if it wasn't for these

meddling kids!

And if someone would've
just listened to what the

- hell I was saying!
- The kids got in the way.

Now, make no mistake,

what you two did was dangerous.

Not necessarily the way
I would have reccommended

handling the siutation.

But,

maybe my way is not always the
best way.

Good job, ladies.

Y'all really did something.
You should be proud.

So, I guess I'll see you

after I'm done with all this.

I guess so.

You can get that later.

I'm looking forward to it.

I think you can keep him for a
while.

Come on.

Thank you both for being here
for me.

Well, I don't really feel like
I did

- did anything.
- Yeah, me too.

To tell you both the truth, I
never really

did like that Mrs. Parker.

I mean, her coming over
to the house all out of

and then you calling me mom,

I knew something wasn't right.

I was wondering if you picked
up on that.

I know this is a lot for you.

But I want you to know
that I got your back, girl.

I mean, even when you think that
I don't.

I love you, Gabby. Like,

unconditionally.

It looks like someone else
wants to talk to you too.

We'lll see you at home? Okay.

Wow.

Crazy night.

I can't believe you two did
that. Good job.

Well, we couldn't have
done it without your help.

- Yes you could have.
- Yeah we

probably could have.

Listen,

I feel like I was hard on you
two earlier.

What matters is that you were
there when we needed your help.

I'm glad I was there when you
needed me.

I don't know about y'all but
all this activity got a brother

- hungry!
- Besides, somebody deserves

a little treat for all their
bravery and

- intelligence.
- Okay!

Good job, ladies.
Look, meet us back at the

shop for a celebration. Whatever
y'all want

- it's on the house.
- No way!

Yes way! Mike, you coming?

I've got to go clean up
but I'll catch you guys soon.

Make it happen, Captain.
And we'll see y'all

- in a few, alright?
- Thank you.

- Well?
- Well what?

I told you we could do this.

- I mean, was there ever a doubt?
- Oh, is that right?

Okay, look, I may doubt you
sometimes

and I may doubt me sometimes,

but us together? Never!

You know,
I think we may have something here.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

You know,

the problem with these new
school females

is that they want anything and
everything

under the sun and they claim

they can't find a good man.

But us old school females, we

damn sure know how to keep one.
