[indistinct chatter]
[indistinct chatter continues]
-[woman] Thanks.
You have a good one.
-Aw...
You too, sweetie.
[music continues]
-[indistinct]
-Hello.
Hello.
Alright.
Hmm. These peaches.
[music fades]
Yes.
-They just came in, too.
-[beeping]
Alright, the total
will be s-- 37.22.
[light gentle music]
[sighs]
Can I pay with multiple cards?
[cashier] That's fine, sweetie.
Alright.
Okay.
You got ID?
Sure.
[music continues]
[cashier] Alright.
Janie Mae Salisbury?
Are you Theodore's child?
Yeah, you know him?
Hm.
Sure did.
He and my husband
used to run together.
They were
drinking buddies as well.
Oh.
[cashier] He's the reason
why we were able
to keep this store afloat.
Wow.
You are the spitting
image of your father.
Please tell your mother,
that Mrs. Berry said hello.
You're Mr. Berry's wife.
He talked about you for years,
but you never came around.
Oh, well, somebody
had to run this store.
-[chuckles] I know that's right.
-[chuckles]
You know what they say, beside
every good man is a superwoman.
-Alright now.
-[both chuckle]
Oh.
-Thank you.
-Mm-hmm.
It was very nice to meet you.
You too.
Tell your mother
I said hello now.
I will.
[Mrs. Berry] Alright now.
[music continues]
[Janie]
Janie Mae Salisbury.
Nicknamed Peaches by my father
when I was a little girl.
As a grown woman,
I have big dreams.
I have high hopes.
But this world has
a lot of distractions
that can detour you from
accomplishing your dreams.
That's what happened to me.
My father was my hero.
I wanted to be just like him
when I grew up.
I miss you, Daddy.
From where I'm from,
people say my daddy
has strong genes
and that I look just like him.
I fell in love with the bottle
just like him, too.
[music continues]
As an alcoholic, I will speak
to myself every day
about how alcohol
is destroying my life.
And I will spend
every day warning myself
of the triggers of a relapse.
[music fades]
[upbeat music in speakers
at a distance]
And to this day,
I still talk to myself
and warn myself
about those triggers.
Hey, Eric.
[chuckles softly]
What's up, sis?
[Janie] You know, if you ever
need to be low-key,
it wouldn't work
with your music that loud.
People would know
right where to find you.
It ain't too loud for you?
[scoffs] Not yet.
I can still hear
my loud-ass muffler.
[gasps]
Man...
Daddy Peaches.
[scoffs]
I used to [indistinct]
And these a'ight, but...
I ain't touching daddy's.
Yeah, daddy's was the best.
[soft music]
I met Mr. Berry's wife today.
She said daddy's produce
saved their business.
Nah... You should've asked her
why wasn't he at the funeral.
Mmm... Well, he was probably
feeling guilty because
daddy died
in the accident and he didn't.
[sighs]
Daddy was working all day
and got drunk every night.
That was a hard time.
Mom needed me and I just...
Come on, come on now, Peaches.
Let's not start this shit again.
-[sighs]
-You've had a lot on you.
[chuckles] But you quit what?
-Three years ago?
-Mm-hmm.
You quit drinking, right?
Yes, I did.
And they called it "under
the influence" for a reason.
I mean, I think daddy was
probably influenced
to do all that.
[gentle music]
I mean...
[clicks tongue]
Some people respond
to influence differently.
Some can fight it, some can't.
You feel me?
Yeah, yeah, I do feel you.
But I shouldn't have been
drinking in the first place.
I was just...
...selfish.
[sighs] But you're right.
The pain of my life
definitely influenced me.
-But I'm sober now.
-[Eric chuckles lightly]
I mean...
Well, since you're
doing good now,
mm, you ain't no drunk no more.
Can I get some money?
Need a little gas to get to
work, you know what I'm saying?
-[chuckles]
-What job?
[indistinct]
Hell, fuck with me now,
show me love!
No, no, I-- it's not funny,
I'm broke.
[clicks tongue]
[Janie]
The worst thing
that a alcoholic
can have in their lives
is an enabler.
Sometimes they don't know
that they're hurting
-that person that they love
-[sighs]
more than helping them.
-Although I don't
drink anymore,
-[sighs]
I found myself
enabling my little brother.
To me, maybe it's
because I feel
so bad about how I used to be.
I just hope he turns
into a great man one day.
-[chuckles softly] Thanks, sis!
-Mm-hmm.
Hey, I'm about to go lay down,
I'll see you. [chuckles]
I thought you
were going to work.
[Eric] I need a little rest.
You-- This boy is crazy.
Boy, I told you to stop
calling my work phone.
Look like your best friend, huh?
You're so silly. [chuckles]
-Vanessa.
-What, boy?
[man] Your girl.
Look, I'll get off at 8, okay?
Alright. Bye.
[hangs phone]
-[Janie] Hey, boo.
-[Vanessa] Hey. Look like
you're working
some overtime.
Yeah, besides the obvious.
I gotta get my girl's back.
[Vanessa]
Mmm, I know that's right.
Can I get my purse back there?
-You sure can.
-Thanks.
[soft music]
[music fades]
[upbeat hip-hop music
on speakers]
[screeching]
[music ends]
-[Eric] What's up, my nigga?
-What's good?
[Eric] Ain't shit,
what you got up here?
Shit, tryna smoke.
What you got for me?
-Shit, you know what
I got, nigga. Yeah.
-Hey!
-Fuck this shit.
-Straight za.
-Straight za.
-Straight gas.
Hey, you talkin' 'bout?
Straight za, nigga.
-You know how I smoke, yeah, za.

[Eric] Hey, bro, I'm telling
you, bro. I been needing him.
-You know what I'm saying?
-Me too, nigga. What?
I ain't smoked all day.
You should've seen those folks

-They were-- [indistinct]

-What's up?
-[Eric] Ain't shit, you know.
-You got that?
-We just cooling.
-You got that dough?
Not yet.
Not yet?
Not yet.
-Nigga. Put that shit out.
-What the fuck?
[indistinct]
You on here smoking my shit.
You ain't got my
motherfucking money.
-Boy, I should--
-[man] Money? What you
talkin' 'bout?
What?
Next time I see you...
[indistinct whispers]
...you better have
my motherfucking money.
I'm telling you.
I'll fire your ass up, boy.
Dude.
You working with Black?
Shit's weird.
Fuck that nigga, bro.
-Fuck all that, bro.
-Man...
[Janie chuckling] Bye.
Pe-- Oh.
[siren chirps]
-Hello?
-[man] You motherfuckers
ain't got shit to do.
Why can't y'all catch the real
killers, and leave
me the fuck alone?
[officer] Come on, speed up.
-[officer 2] Come on, buddy.
-Yes, yes, yes,
-thank you. See you soon.
-[man] Fuck you!
-[man] Fuck you.
-Ha-- Have a good night.
Y'all two motherfuckers

Y'all motherfuckers don't know
what's coming, do you?
-Hey.
-Fuck you.
Hey, how you doing?
Um, what's your name?
-Janie Salisbury.
-[officer] I'm sorry,

Janie Salisbury.
[officer] How you doing?
I'm Officer...
What,
she said her name was Janie?
-Not to you.
-If... I can, I will.
Yeah, this guy's refusing
his, uh, breathalyzer.
I'ma need a blood
alcohol tests for him.
-I'ma call her Janie.
-[officer 2] Nah, you
behave yourself.
I'ma call her Janie.
I'm gonna call you, Janie.
Um, yeah, the nurse
on the front desk.
-Mmm. I'ma call Janie.
-[officer] Okay, so
right this way?
[Janie] Yeah, through
the front doors.
-[officer] All right,
appreciate it, thank you.
You have a good night.
-You too.
-[man] I'ma call Janie.
[Janie]
The state of a drunk and
belligerent person disgusts me.
[Eric] Hey, sis.
I'm at work.
What's going on?
I owe this nigga, Black, bad.
What?
For what?
[sighs]
He fronted me some weed.
Eric, are you selling drugs?
What the hell is wrong with you?
You have a job.
[Eric]
Sis, I'm in trouble.
If you don't help me...
Ain't no telling what's
gonna happen, man.
These niggas is killers.
Okay, bro.
I'll figure it out.
[sighs relieved]
-[sighs]
-[Vanessa sighs]
Girl, I am so tired.
[moans softly] What's up?
Hmm...
What's up with you?
Uh, nothing, I'm okay.
It's just my brother done
got into some mess.
[sighs] Girl.
When are you gonna cut
the cord off on this man?
Girl, he is grown.
Alright?
Grown, grown.
And to be honest, he's just
using his sister, if you ask me.
I'm all he has, Vanessa.
And this time it sounds serious.
I just don't know how I'm
supposed to come up with $1,000.
-This man asked you for $1,000?
-Mm-hmm.
I wouldn't give his ass shit.
[scoffs] Girl, you up here
busting your ass
working overtime for what?
For him to be out there to do
anything he wanna do
because he know his sister
gonna come save the day.
V, he's not just some
dude off the street.
-He's my baby brother.
-[Vanessa groans]
I'll talk to you later.
Listen, okay, I'm-- I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it like that,
I'm just saying.
Look...
Coffee in the morning?
Okay.
-All right, it's a date.
-Okay.
See you in the morning.
[Janie] Bye.
[Eric]
So we got the session locked in?
[chuckling]
P-- Yes, sir.
What day we looking at?
[sighs] Fuck.
What?
What happened?
-Hold on.
-[sighs]
-I ripped the blunt.
-[hip-hop music at a distance]
[scoffs]
Can you grab me another one?
[Eric] Yeah.
Give me a dollar.
Okay.
[music stops]
-[Eric] Shit! Fuck!
-[suspenseful music]
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
-[keys jingle]
-[door opens, then closes]
What about the blunt?
Huh? Oh, we--
We ain't getting another blunt.
-[engine revving]
-[music stars loudly]
Fuck!
Eric, what the hell
is wrong with you?
[music fades]
[whispers indistinct]
I ain't got no money.
[Janie]
Stress is the biggest
trigger to relapse.
And all I do is
keep making excuses.
-[sighs]
-Eric.
Eric.
Eric, what is going on?
Talk to me.
Nothin' bad, sis.
[Janie]
I want to know why I keep
doing the things that
I know stress me out.
Eric, are you selling drugs?
[sighs]
No, I'm not selling drugs.
[soft music]
You a nurse.
Why you acting
like you don't got it?
It's not all that.
It's actually sad.
I'm pretty sure drug dealers
are making
-way more than nurses.
-I'm not a drug dealer.
I smoke it.
Buy it this way
'cause it's cheaper.
Cut the middle man out.
That's that addictive behavior
that runs in your bloodline
that I'm worried about.
Addictive?
Let's not bring up all that dumb
drunk shit you used to do now,
Peaches.
Excuse you?
[music turns dramatic]
Oh shit, he here.
Sis, please.
[music continues]
[Black]
I see you still smoking my shit.
So I know you got my money.
Right motherfucking now.
Black, man, I got you, bro.
You got me?
How you doing, Black?
[scoffs] All good, Peaches.
It's between me...
...and your brother.
Which means
it's between me and you.
You'll have your thousand
dollars in a couple days.
You know, you need
to be more like your sister.
'Cause she would've never
put herself in such
a sticky predicament.
You got three days, my nigga.
[Vanessa] I just hate
to see you like this.
Listen, I'm pretty sure
they're gonna
have you in patient care
again soon.
I mean, they didn't say anything
about the restriction?
Like when
it's going to be lifted?
-Nothing?
-No.
And the crazy part is
phlebotomy wasn't even
a part of the curriculum
and I still mastered it.
Or... at least I thought I did.
I don't know.
Girl, did you at least ask
for a rebuttal or something?
Yep. It's supposed to happen
sometime this week.
I've been practicing at home
just in case they test me.
You got a phlebotomy arm
at home?
Mm-hmm. And I even practice
on fruit sometime.
Feeling really
confident about it.
Look at you.
See?
That's what I'm talking about.
You got this.
I believe in you.
-Okay? [chuckles]
-[Janie] Okay.
I don't know.
Truthfully and honestly,
I'm feeling burnt out.
I gotta figure something out
because this ain't it.
What are you so burnt out over?
32, check to check,
whole family depending on me.
Where's my man?
Girl... [scoffs]
...you really want
a man, don't you?
[Janie] Who doesn't?
-[chuckles]
-I mean, what do you
need a man for?
And you have me.
What's the purpose
of a best friend, huh?
Men are nothing but
headaches and drama.
Anyway.
[woman in PA]
Miss Salibury,
you have a call in the front
desk.
Let me go see
what this is about.
[woman in PA]
...through the front desk.
Alright, girl.
-Love you. Alright.
-[Janie] Love you.
-[both moan softly]
-See you soon.
-See ya.
-Talk to you later.
-[Janie] Talk to you later.
-[chuckles]
[phone ringing]
Hm, thank you.
Janie speaking.
[man]
Hello, Janie.
You might not remember me,
but my name is Francis Tolman.
[gasps softly]
Can't say that I do,
but how can I help you?
[Francis]
I was a sober guy that came in
with my two police buddies
last night.
Oh, yeah, I recall.
Um, what can I do for you, sir?
[Francis]
Well, first,
you are a beautiful woman.
-Okay.
-[Francis]
I need a favor.
I need you to get rid
of my blood test
that they unlawfully
extracted from me.
Do what?
[Francis]
Look, I'm a public figure,
and I don't need this
on my record.
Can't you just delete the file?
I will make it
worth your while.
And risk my job?
Sir, I don't have
that type of power,
and even if I did,
I wouldn't. Sorry.
[Francis]
So you one of the good ones.
The nerve of you.
-[hangs phone]
-[music ends]
[cellphone rings]
Hello?
My appeal.
That's great.
Yes, I could do next Monday.
Yeah, I'll see you then.
Thank you.
Thank you.
[whispers] Thank you, thank you.
[whispers indistinctly]
Janie, right?
I'm Francis Tolman.
Okay, and?
What, are you stalking me
or something?
[chuckles]
Oh, not at all.
I'm just here checking out
some of my workers.
Their sales have been
slow in this district.
[gentle music]
It's a nice car.
You know, electric cars
are the future.
Yeah, right, I wish.
Uh, okay, can you move, please?
I'm tryna put
my groceries in it.
Uh, look, look, look. I'm--
-Hey!
-About the other day.
What about it?
What can I do for you?
I just want to apologize to you.
For what?
For being publicly intoxicated
and almost killing
innocent people on the road?
Or for calling my fucking job
and asking me to break the law?
[Francis] Both.
Look, look, I-- I see
how I may look like
a lowlife from your
first impression of me.
But that's not me.
Allow me to make
a second first impression.
And why would I do that?
Because.
I wasn't too drunk to see
how beautiful you were.
And that's the real reason
why I called.
And even if I was too
embarrassed to tell you that,
you hung up on me
and humbled my ass.
Yeah, you deserved it.
-Yeah, yeah, I did.
-[Janie] Yeah.
So, how about
that second first impression?
Say...
-[phone notification]
-...over dinner?
[music continues]
Clever.
[chuckles]
Yeah, you-- you have three ways
you can say yes.
Email, phone, or Twitter.
Please say yes.
Say yes.
[chill music]
[Janie]
Now, Peaches, you know
negative connections
is the for sure way to relapse.
And you know better.
[music continues]
You talk to your brother?
He ain't come by yesterday.
Yes ma'am,
I actually just left him.
-[woman] Hmm.
-You know he got a
new little girlfriend.
-So...
-Mmm.
-[both chuckle]
-That's who he
-be with a lot.
-[woman] Mm-hmm.
Oh, by the way, Miss Berry
from the market.
Oh, Betty Berry.
-[chuckles]
-Mm-hmm.
She said daddy helped
save the market.
Mmm.
Yep.
Your daddy might have been
drunker than Cooter Brown,
but he damn sure knew some soil.
That man's Peaches was sweeter
than a Georgia morning,
and juicier than
a Mississippi sausage.
[chuckles]
Mm, mm, mm.
Oh boy, I tell you.
You know what?
If the good Lord allows me
to stay here long enough,
I'm gon' get this
farm back together
like Theodore had.
And if I don't, please don't let
his legacy die with me.
I won't, Mama.
I know you won't, baby.
[sighs] You got that business
sense like your daddy.
[chuckles softly]
Oh, there's a box of papers,
uh, in the-- in the closet,
and I need you to look
through 'em, 'cause I--
I don't know what's what.
Look at them, okay?
Okay, Mama.
[phone vibrates]
Hm.
Okay, now, I know, uh,
only a man can
make you show gums like that.
Is he handsome?
Yes, ma'am.
[chuckles]
Child, is his cornbread
cooked in the middle?
-[Janie] Cornbread?
-Is he smart?
The man got brains,
or is he just looks?
-I'm not sure. But...
-Hm.
...it ain't like that yet.
-Mm-hmm.
-He just asked me to dinner.
[Mrs. Salisbury] Mm-hmm.
But I don't know if I'm going.
Why?
You know it's not good for me
to be around people that drink.
You know what happened
in my last relationship.
Yes.
And, uh...
...that's water
under the bridge.
You got through it,
and you're clean now, right?
Yes, ma'am.
Sober as a church mass.
[muttering] Shoot.
[sighs]
[gasps and chuckles softly]
Yeah, baby, I should've
done more keeping you kids
away from your daddy's drinking.
But Lord knows
I love me some Theodore.
Your daddy used to always
say everybody got a vice.
Well, so I guess your
ex-boyfriend's vice
was drinking.
[chuckles] Just like your daddy.
[sighs]
Well, look.
Baby, look.
Don't you let one man
ruin it for all men.
Honey, men ain't
nothing but pants.
You won't know
if they fit unless
you take 'em
to the fitting room.
You go on dinner with that boy.
By the time dinner come,
you'll know if his
cornbread cooked.
[chuckles]
Okay, Mama.
I love you.
[Mrs. Salisbury]
I love you too, baby.
Get me out this hot sunshine.
[both chuckle]
Come on.
[Janie]
Peaches, you got time
to get your ass up
-and get out of this place
-[waitress indistinct]
-that sells alcohol, sitting
-[indistinct]
across from the man
that you know
is a alcoholic.
[Francis] You sure?
[jazz music]
Yeah, I'm sure.
I don't drink.
I'm fine with this.
All righty, I'll be back in a
moment to take your order.
[inaudible]
[Francis] So, Janie.
How was the drive?
Um, actually,
I don't go by Janie.
Everyone calls me Peaches.
And the drive was just fine.
-Peaches? Okay, I like that.
-Mm-hmm.
So, you don't live around here?
[scoffs] I wish.
No. I live by the market
you were stalking me at.
[gasps]
[chuckles]
Good one. [chuckles]
I wasn't stalking.
Okay, maybe I was the first day.
You know, seeing you was
the best part of my day.
I'm pretty sure it was.
You didn't look
like you were having
too much
of a good day when I saw you.
Well, not at the
particular moment.
Me and my friend just had
a close development deal
and this restaurant
was a golden egg.
We'll be reopening soon.
This is your restaurant?
As of a few days ago, yes.
-Wow.
-[chuckles]
But actually, uh, before
I ended up at your hospital,
I signed a deal
right here at this table.
Had a few drinks and martinis
to celebrate my milestone.
And, uh...
...everybody went home.
But as soon as my damn
front tires hit the road,
I was flipped.
It's like they was
just waiting on me.
-Mmm.
-[Francis] So...
I told them I own the strip mall
and you know how they do.
That aggression just carried
over to your front locker.
Mm. Mm-mm-mm.
Look at that. And they were
trying to make it seem
like you were
the one being belligerent
the whole time they
were harassing you.
So...
Looks like my, uh,
second first impression may
land us a second date.
[Janie]
See, this type of
trigger is called
a negative connection
and will lead
straight to relapse.
And there's no way I should
carry on with this date.
Eric...
I'm gonna have to call you back.
I'm on a...
-I'm out.
-[phone beeps]
[music continues]
Everything all right?
Yeah, everything's okay.
[glass clanks]
[waitress] Are you ready
to take your order?
Uh, give us the moment, alright?
[gentle music]
You sure you're okay?
Yeah.
Fine.
All right,
so fill out these papers
and we'll be right with you.
-[man indistinct]
-Mm-hmm.
-[Janie indistinct]
-And where you been?
It ain't like you to be late.
You okay?
Yeah, girl. I had to do
something for my brother.
[Vanessa] Mm, that figures.
What are those flowers about?
Oh, those flowers
right there, yes.
You tell me,
what are they about?
They're from
Miss Francis Tolman.
She must really like you.
I didn't know you went that way.
It's a he.
-[Vanessa] Oh!
-Thank you.
[Vanessa] Oh, a he?
I don't know Francis.
So we keeping secrets now?
Actually, you do know him.
Or heard of him.
You remember
the guy who the cops
dragged in here
to draw his blood?
-[Vanessa] Mmm.
-The asshole that calls up here
and asks me
to delete his blood test?
What? No.
Girl, you better had not--
You are in enough trouble
up here
already as it is.
He's not on that anymore.
You know, we went out
on a few dates and...
...I think I might like him.
Great.
Let me see that card.
[Vanessa] Ooh, okay.
If there's some money
in there, I need half.
-[chuckles]
-I was holding it for you.
Let me start my shift.
[smooth R&B music]
[woman] Virgin martini.
And we also have
lemon peppermint.
So, I have a good one.
What do we call a cat
who eats lemons?
-[Janie] A sourpuss.
-[chuckling]
So you know that one.
I grew up on my
father's produce farm,
so I've heard all of them.
-[woman] Mmm, okay.
-[Francis chuckles]
Okay.
-[phone rings]
-[sighs]
[phone continues ringing]
[Janie]
I'll have it figured out
by tomorrow.
This is trigger number four.
Ordering a drink that imitates
a alcoholic beverage.
You okay?
Yeah, everything's okay.
My little brother done got
himself into some old shit.
And like always, I'm expected
to get his ass out.
And like always, my dumb ass
gets him out of it.
I barely make enough money
to take care of my own shit.
This boy's about
to get me a headache.
I'm sorry.
Uh, it's okay.
It's okay.
Sounds like a mama's boy.
Cut his ass off.
It's not that easy.
I'm all he got.
I can't let him get hurt.
Alright. I understand.
I understand.
Can I help?
Thanks, but no thanks.
I'll figure it out.
I'm just so tired of my world.
[sighs]
Well, you know you can
always change that.
You're right.
Why don't you change it?
I would love to.
I want you to.
Show me your world.
I'm ready.
[woman] All right, ladies and
gentlemen, we are back.
And right now, we are ready
for this beautiful couple.
Couple number 80, performing
a George hometown favorite,
Georgia Peach.
[clapping]
Never had anybody


To call on

Now I know
It's right this time

'Cause you give me
A shoulder to lean on
Now I'm so proud
To call you mine
[music continues]
-Hello?
-[Francis]
Hey, babe.
Hey. Uh...
[Francis]
What are you doing?
Y-- I'm looking for my car.
I think--
I think somebody stole my car.
[Francis]
Nobody stole your car.
-I got you a new one.
-[sighs]
What?
Are you serious?
[soft music]
You are amazing.
Thank you.
[Francis]
Baby, you deserve
the world. Love you.
[chuckling] Oh, my gosh.
I love you, too.
[gasping]
[Francis]
I had your hoopty
towed to my house.
-[Janie] Oh.
-[Francis]
I'll text you
the address.
Oh, no, no, no, no. You could've
went on ahead
and sent old Nelly
to the junkyard.
No, she's been good to me.
But thanks to
my man, my man, my man,
I ain't gotta worry
about her no more.
[chuckles and sighs]
I'ma come see you, though.
[smooth R&B music]
Oh, wow.
[Janie]
Girl, pay attention.
Trigger number five.
Positive things that
can cause celebration
can also cause relapse.
And you got me a designer bag?
[music continues]
[Francis] Beautiful.
-Oh, my gosh, Francis.
-[chuckles]
Oh, t-- [chuckles]
Oh, thank you so much
for the car.
-Thank you. Like...
-[Francis] Mm-hmm.
[chuckles]
[Janie] Is it really mine?
Of course.
How did I do?
Uh, the car of my dreams?
-[chuckles]
-Uh, a Tesla?
Thank you.
Mm-hmm.
Anything for you.
Show me your home.
It's beautiful.
Yeah.
Wow! I love all of
this natural light.
-It's gorgeous.
-[Francis chuckles softly]
I'm glad you like it.
I mean, I don't get
a chance to use it much, but
I love architecture,
and I wanted my home
to speak that.
Oh, my goodness.
-This is amazing. The detail.
-[chuckles softly]
So, you're like a--
a real estate guru?
-You're really into real estate?
-Eh-- Mmm.
I wouldn't say guru, but
let's just say I know
about the loopholes
they don't want you
to know about.
So, if you need any help
with real estate, let me know.
Well, my mom asked me
to look into some things
for my family farm,
but honestly,
I don't even know
where to start.
Do you mind taking
a look at it for me?
Yeah, of course, you know,
just text me the address.
I'll have my team
take a look, that's simple.
You know, whatever's important
to you is important to me.
[both chuckle softly]
Wow, just like that?
Yeah, mm-hmm.
Bet. Okay, I'ma
text you right now.
[liquid pouring]
[Janie]
A knight in shining
armor that comes along
and solves all your problems
makes you a dependent
and him a provider.
Next thing he's gonna do
is try to get you to drink,
and you better be strong.
No, thank you.
Come on, baby,
just have one glass.
It won't hurt nothing.
[Janie]
That's trigger
number seven, Peaches.
Okay, just one.
[suspenseful music]
[Janie]
Trigger number eight.
Becoming one with the poison.
You need to snap
out of it, Peaches.
Can you handle it?
[sighs]
Don't peer pressure me.
I've been sober for three years,
and I don't need
to fall off the wagon.
Besides...
...you are
all of the high I need.
[Janie]
I never said that
talking to myself
worked every time,
but I'm gonna keep trying.
Some triggers have
irresistible temptations
that are very hard to fight.
But I'm sure that I can find
the strength
to fight the others.
[moaning softly]
[smooth music]
There's only one problem when
you make a negative connection.
And even though
it's just one trigger,
and you call on alcohol,
you have officially invited it
back into your world.
And alcohol
will start calling on you.
And if you don't answer...
...it will call you again...
...and again...
[indistinct moaning]
It will keep calling you.
Until you answer.
[moans]
And at that point...
[sighs]
you are the only one
who knows
that you failed.
And lost to the temptation.
[music continues]
[music fades]
[sighs]
[soft music]
Physical relapses
are completely
dependent on whether
I answer alcohol
when it calls me,
or I ignore it.
[Janie sobs]
[sobbing]
[whispers] Come on.
[music continues]
[inhales and exhales sharply]
[music continues]
[inhales sharply]
Oh.
Um...
[inaudible]
[bottles rattling]
[music intensifies]
Yeah!
[clears throat]
[indistinct]
[indistinct]
[chuckles]
It's a lie.
It's not what he said.
It's the DJ's fault, all right?
It's the DJ's fault.
He don't understand.
Hey. [chuckles]
Hey. Hey!
[chuckling] Hey.
[continues chuckling]
[indistinct]
Alright?
[soft chuckle]
What do you sound like to me?
[indistinct]
[continues chuckling and
speaking indistinctly]
You wait! Alright?
Because...
[speaks indistinctly,
then shouts]
[continues indistinctly]
[continues indistinctly]
-[screams]
-[thud]
[coughs]
[chuckling]
[music turns gentle]
[inaudible]
[inaudible]
[suspenseful music
overlaps]
[gentle music fading]
You know what? I'ma fuck you up.
[suspenseful music continues]
Can't you see--
keep bullshiting.
[music continues]
Bullshit, bro.
Bullshit.
Peaches got a new whip.
She must be getting money.
Are you okay?
Eric.
Eric, I know you
ain't out here drinking.
Ey, he pressing kind
of hard for $1,000, huh?
She bringing the money, cuh.
These niggas out here
tryna kill me.
-Shit, what you gon' do?
-[Eric] Fuck you mean?
You ain't doing shit about it?
Eric, I'm trying.
Trying? Man, you told
these niggas Friday.
That's tomorrow.
If something happened to me,
that's your fault.
My fault? You've got yourself
into this, Eric.
Get the fuck off me, man.
[Janie]
If you wanna stay sober,
Peaches,
-you gotta cut
your brother off.
-[door closes]
-[engine starts]
-I know you love him,
but you're
hurting yourself and him.
Stress is that one element
that can take you
from one night of
making a mistake slip
to falling off the wagon.
I have to eliminate stress if
I'm going to overcome this.
Thank you for the money.
You didn't have to do that.
If my brother wasn't in trouble,
I would've sent it back.
Nah, it's all good, baby.
My mother always told me,
"When it comes
to a woman and finances,
it's all actions, no words."
Let me show you the thing.
Come on.
All right, everybody.
Congratulations on the deal.
[smooth music]
Everybody,
this is my friend, Peaches.
[overlapping dialogue]
Hi, it's very nice
to meet all of you.
[man] You as well.
[man 2]
Another deal down, dog.
[Francis] Thank you.
I'd like to make a toast...
...to the most amazing...
...and annoying man that
I have ever known,
Francis Tolman.
To Fran.
Without you,
none of this would be possible.
You are the fucking GOAT.
[Janie]
Okay, Peaches,
you only slipped up one time.
You still got this.
All right, everybody.
Get y'all asses back to work.
We got another deal to close.
[gentle music]
Hey, bro, how you a barber?
But you ain't never
got no customers.
-[woman chuckles]
-Man, how you the plug?
-You ain't never got no money.
-[chuckles]
Living off of your
sister and shit.
Where they do that at?
[suspenseful music]
Look, getting money from your
sister ain't gangsta, my nigga.
My nigga, getting money
is getting money.
How you talking about?
Black.
What's up, son?
Time's up.
It's Friday, nigga.
Where my shit?
I told you I got you, didn't I?
You got me.
Good, good, running. What's up?
-Where is at? Where is at?
-Come on, I got you, I got you.
I'ma get y'all boys
right here, quick.
Hey,
what your CashApp?
[scoffs]
Nigga, stop fucking
playing with me.
Give me my motherfucking shit.
The way I gave it to you.
Before I pop your ass.
Black, man,
it's-- it's all I got.
That's all--
my sister sent it to me.
It's your sister.
Your sister, right here.
[grunting]
Sit the fuck down, nigga.
Nigga,
I'ma have to motherfucking
lock up on your ass.
No, no, no, no, wait.
I can get the money
down the street.
Please.
Please.
You better hurry the fuck up.
[suspenseful music]
[music fades]
Your bitch better
have that paper come.
[Eric] You got it?
-I got 600.
-[Eric] Fuck.
Black, I swear I'ma
get the rest for you, bro.
-[Black] It's showtime.
-I swear.
You gotta give me
some more time.
I'ma have it
for you tomorrow.
[woman]
I can get the rest tomorrow.
[stutters]
-Black, I swear on me--
-[Black] Shut...
the fuck up.
[suspenseful music]
That Marquis outside? [scoffs]
That's mine, nigga.
What the fuck?
But, my daddy gave me that car.
[music continues]
-[music intensifies]
-[groans]
[coughs]
Hello.
I'm Ms. Harris, HR.
I'm Dr. Thomas, the head nurse.
And I'm Ms. Wilcox,
the CEO of this hospital.
Thank you for joining us today,
Nurse Salisbury.
As you know,
you were dropped
down to COVID officer
after hurting a patient
while drawing blood.
We take these incidents
very seriously.
And... after reviewing
your case,
we've decided to
deny your case
for reinstatement.
[melancholic music]
I understand everything that
happened was a mistake.
And I take
full responsibility for it.
I have learned from my mistake.
And I'm willing to do whatever
it takes to make things right.
Hmm. [smacks lips]
Unfortunately,
the damage has been done.
Your actions caused harm
to a patient.
And...
...we can't-- we can't risk
that happening again.
We're not saying you're
a bad nurse, Nurse Salisbury.
But we have to uphold
the hospital standards,
and protect our patients.
Maybe with
more time and training,
you can regain our trust.
Please...
...I'm begging you.
This is my passion.
And I promise to be more careful
and cautious in the future.
Just give me a chance
to prove myself.
I'm sorry, Nurse Salisbury.
Our decision is final.
As of right now,
we don't trust you.
[Dr. Thomas] We do wish you
the best in your endeavors.
[Ms. Harris]
Thanks for stopping in.
[music continues]
[sobs]
[inhales deeply]
[exhales deeply]
[music continues]
[music continues]
[music fades]
[smooth R&B music]
[Francis] Can I be honest with
you about something?
Yeah. You can be honest
with me about anything.
So you know the woman
in the office
that I introduced you to?
[indistinct]
Mm-hmm.
Your ex?
Yeah.
Yeah.
How'd you know that?
Well, I could tell by her vibe,
the way she was looking at me.
[scoffs]
And she's
still in love with you.
Yeah. You-- You have
nothing to worry about.
-She had her chance.
-[indistinct]
I only did what
the custody judge gave her,
a third stake
of the company.
The bitch never worked.
She just lived off
of me, and still is.
She wanted to be a nurse, too.
Hmm.
I'm not a nurse no more.
They took it from me just as
fast as they gave it to me.
Took it from you?
What you mean?
[sighs]
Well...
We had this intern who
was drawing blood...
...for a patient who was
getting some tests.
And he couldn't find a vein.
I was called in, and the first
thing I noticed was a...
strong smell of alcohol.
I kept it to myself,
which was my mistake.
But he was being prepped
for a transplant,
so I was trying to help.
I could not locate this
man's veins for nothing.
As I moved the needle deeper...
...I struck a nerve.
Struck a nerve?
And so they got mad at you.
Mad is an understatement.
The needle caused nerve damage.
And of course,
he sued the hospital.
I was a desk then...
...stuck with
COVID-19 testing all day.
It wasn't fair.
That man was drunk,
and his veins were diluted.
I shouldn't have
worked on him at all.
That's what my...
...meeting was about,
an appeal...
...to get my cross back.
But they denied me.
I can't survive on what
I'm being paid right now.
I don't know what
I will do as of yet.
Well, what about
the urgent care?
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Yeah, as a matter of fact, you
can take the office downstairs.
Really?
Like, no, wait, like, for real?
-Yeah.
-Oh! [chuckles]
-[chuckles]
-Oh, my gosh.
Thank you.
[moaning softly]
You know what? I want you
to meet my friend Venessa.
Who is Rick?
Your ex?
[Janie] Yeah.
[music intensifying lightly]
I ain't no jealous man,
but it almost got me.
Seeing another
man's name on my girl.
But you're all mine now.
Yeah, I am.
But I'm not interested
in meeting your friends
or your exes.
You're in the top 20% now.
The bottom 80 have
no business around us.
That includes family.
[Janie] Well, um...
Look, babe, I'm just trying to
upgrade you from that life.
What have they done for you?
[music fades]
All right,
thank y'all for gathering.
I have a very important
announcement to make.
Let's welcome our new
operations manager, Peaches.
[clapping]
Are you kidding me?
Operations manager?
Working from home, I presume.
Actually, I will be overseeing
the newly purchased
Urgent Care Medical Center.
It's a great way
for me to utilize
my experience
as a registered nurse.
[Francis chuckles softly]
That's right.
Peaches brings
a wealth of knowledge
and expertise to our company.
We're lucky to have you.
[all clapping]
Thank you.
[Francis] Oh, it's okay, Bill.
She don't drink.
[soft music]
[sighs]
I mean...
...I do love this
positive energy
in these celebratory moments
that my new team creates, so...
...why not?
Peaches, with you by my side,
there is nothing
we can't accomplish.
[Janie]
Before I knew it,
I didn't give a damn
who knew I was drinking.
Besides, I had all the excuses.
Otherwise,
I could just justify it.
This is a celebratory moment.
Who am I not to celebrate?
[Eric] What's up, bro?
[man] What's good?
Damn, you down bad.
-[sighs]
-What you gonna do?
I really only owe him like, 400.
I got that on me.
I'ma see if he
gon' front me again.
What?
[door closes]
[door closes]
[clapping]
Got that money?
Hell, yeah.
My fault on being late
and shit, y'all boy.
Shit.
Since I paid you,
we even and shit,
I was-- I was gonna go see
if you could front me again.
Well,
there's
two problems with that.
One, that ain't my model
no more.
And two,
we ain't even, nigga.
[indistinct] ...and you
owe me a stack.
[suspenseful music]
How, bro?
What the fuck, bro?
I paid you.
Nah, nigga, you was late.
And now it's gonna be a stack
every time I see you,
and then it's gonna double
every time you don't have it.
What the fuck, but
that's some bullshit.
-Nigga, you can--
-[man] What the fuck, bro?
[Eric] Fuck.
You know what it is for me?
Just have my shit.
[Janie] And...
...voil.
Peaches.
So...
...I know we've only known
each other
for a little while, but...
...I feel like I've
known you forever,
and want you all for myself.
I feel the same way, too.
I was a little
skeptical at first, but...
-...you got that good cornbread.
-[chuckles]
-Cornbread?
-[Janie chuckles]
Okay, I never heard of that one.
I normally be a caramel drizzle.
Oh.
Cornbread is just something
my mama said.
But you are definitely one sexy
caramel drizzle motherfucker.
-Mmm.
-[Francis] Oh.
[chuckles softly]
And I'll toast to that.
[both chuckle]
[suspenseful music]
[music turns gentle]
[music continues]
[music fades]
[Eric] Hey, Peach.
Hey, bro.
How'd you get here?
Where's your car?
Oh, it's in the shop and shit.
Oh.
Muffler finally fell off.
-Ah.
-[chuckles softly]
You know how that go.
Did you pay Black?
Yeah, he paid.
Look, you're all I got.
If something was to ever
happen to you, I would die.
It's best you just stay
far away from Black.
He's a bad seed.
Always has been.
Trust me.
[mutters]
Fuck that nigga.
[chuckles]
Can you take me to Eve's house?
-How'd you get here?
-Uber.
Well, you better call him
back, boy. I'm busy.
-I'ma tell Mama on you ass.
-You gon' tell who?
-I'ma tell Mama on you.
-You ain't gon' tell nobody.
Whatever. I'm gonna go in here
and check on Mama,
and then maybe I'll take you.
Nah, she been asleep
since I've been here, so...
I'll just wait
out here for you.
Okay.
[soft dramatic music]
Hey, Peaches, babe.
[chuckles softly]
-Hey, Mama.
-[Ms. Salisbury] Mmm.
You okay?
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Just a little tired, babe.
Just need to take a nap.
[grunts softly]
[music continues]
Feels good.
[Janie chuckles softly]
[music continues]
[music ends]
[melancholic music]
[music continues]
[bottle rattle softly]
[music fades]
Why do you owe him more money?
-[sighs]
-[lighter clicks]
I don't know, bae.
That's just--
That's just how
these streets is.
So your sis won't help you?
[clicks tongue]
Man, she got this new dude,
and they ain't be
returning my call.
[sighs]
Really, I'ma just stay out
of the way until
this shit die down.
[lighter clicks]
-[sighs]
-[lighter clicks repeatedly]
Shit, it about time I handle
shit on my own, anyway.
Cut Peaches ass free.
Man, fuck!
[heavy breathing]
[Ms. Salisbury] Okay...
[grunts]
[gasps] Okay.
-[grunts]
-[pan rattles]
-[grunts] God.
-[dramatic music]
Okay.
Okay.
Okay. Okay.
Okay.
[grunts]
-[gasps]
-[phone rings]
-[phone rings]
-Oh. [mutters]
Janie?
Hey, it's your Mama.
Yeah, um, I need your help.
I just, uh,
can't seem to get
this breakfast together.
Can you come over?
[sighs]
Not today, Mom.
Not today.
I can't do it.
Today is the first day
of my new job,
and I have a lot on my plate.
Can you call Eric?
I'm sure Eric can help.
Oh, no, sweetheart.
You know, I'm-- I'm sorry.
You know, it's okay, uh...
I-- I don't wanna be a bother
to you on your first day.
You know, and, uh,
I'll manage it somehow.
Alright,
you enjoy your new job.
-Okay? Take care.
-Mm-hmm.
Alright, bye.
-Okay, Mom.
-[paper rustles]
-Yeah-- love you. Bye.
-[phone beeps,
then thuds on desk]
Okay.
[groaning] Oh.
[music fades]
Mm, mm, mm.
[chuckles]
-Yeah, I don't know what...
-[smooth music on speakers]
Oh!
That's the one.
[singing along, indistinctly]
[mutters]
Sing, girl!
That's--
Mm-mm.
Mm.
Mm, mm, mm.
Mm, mm, mm.
[singing indistinctly]
[door closes]
[muttering]
[continues muttering
indistinctly]
[chuckles]
Mm, mm.
[mutters indistinctly]
-Mm, mm.
-Ah-- [chuckles]
[Francis muttering
indistinctly]
You better know it.
Mm-hmm.
You want something to eat?
Mm-hmm. Mm. All I need in this
world is my Georgia peach.
[both chuckles]
-[chuckles]
-Well, it's all yours.
Oh, God.
[Francis] What we eatin'?
-Um...
-[glass jingles]
What we eatin'?
I was-- Oh!
Black-- Homemade black bean...
...patty.
And, uh, um, cream spinach.
Cream spinach...
-[chuckles]
-[phone ringing]
[phone clicks, ringing stops]
Who-- who was that?
-[bottle clinks]
-[wine pouring]
My brother.
Well...
Your brother? What--
What your brother want?
Why you not answer the phone?
I didn't feel like it.
[phone rings]
[phone continues ringing]
-[sighs]
-[phone clicks]
Yeah.
[Eric]
Who is this?
Why the fuck are you calling her
so late at night, nigga?
Nigga your sister might be dumb
enough to let you run over her,
but this is my
motherfucking house,
and that shit
ain't gon' fly here.
-Oh, oh, oh,
-[Eric]
Bitch!
see, what you not gon' do
is disrespect me
in front of my brother.
[music distorting]
So you defending that nigga?
This some weird ass shit.
Y'all--
Y'all are acting like a fucking
couple, or something.
You know what, mothafucka?
Fuck you, okay?
Fuck you, motherfucker.
You a nasty motherfucker,
gon' say some shit
like that to me.
That's my motherfucking
brother, nigga.
Fuck you! Why don't you
go fuck your mama?
Fuck your mama, nigga,
that's what you do.
[Francis] I see, can take the
bitch out the hood,
but you can't take the
hood out the bitch.
What you saying to me?
What you say to me?
-[Francis] Hm.
-[Eric]
Peaches!
-What's going on?
-Listen, I don't got
no money, goddamn it,
I ain't got no money, so just...
...let me live my life, okay?
-[Janie]
You keep this up,
Peaches.
-Hm.
Uncontrollable rages.
-Pushing family members away?
-[spits, chuckles]
Getting drunk and only
caring about yourself?
-Mmm.
-It's a lonely world.
[humming]
[singing indistinctly]
[hip-hop music]
[music echoes, fades]
Jesus.
[suspenseful music]
You are at it again, I see.
I just wanna talk to you.
[woman] What?
I need some advice.
[woman] Nah, I'm good.
I don't give out advice anymore.
D-- Don't you have a woman?
I'm not worried about her,
Toyia.
Wow.
You gon' hurt her, too.
I know you still love me.
Let's not forget
why you fell in love.
Mwah.
That, that...
...is the reason
why I fell out of love.
Francis, you could be
such an amazing man,
but you are a horrible,
fucking drunk.
Nice car.
[hip-hop music]
-[loud thud]
-[tires screech]
[ominous music]
Fu-- Fuck.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
Oh, fuck.
Fuck!
[music turns tense]
Shit, man.
[sighs]
Shit, shit.
Fuck, fuck. Fuck!
[music fades lightly]
[music turns melancholic]
[phone vibrates]
[phone continues vibrating]
[grunts softly]
[phone continues vibrating]
[Eric]
Peaches.
-What, Eric?
-[Eric]
I'm at Mama's house,
but she's
not answering the door.
Well, keep knocking.
Can't believe
you called me for that.
[Eric]
I've been knocking, Peaches.
Something wrong.
Is there a car outside?
[Eric]
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Her car here,
I've been out here for a hour,
and I don't have the key.
-I need you to get here.
-[sighs]
Okay, Eric, okay.
I'll be here,
just give me about a hour.
[Janie]
It's a very dark and
scary place in this world,
and that's blackouts.
That's when you don't remember
nothing you said
or nothing that happened.
You have no idea
what you missed.
Days and days go by.
You never know.
This is the point where alcohol
has regained full control
over your life.
Assume everyone
around you will know.
[music turns gentle country]
When you have lost control,
you get defensive.
Your personal hygiene
goes down.
You wear the same
clothes day in, day out,
and don't even realize that
-other people notice.
-Man, what the fuck, Peaches?
It's been like two hours.
Did you call the police?
Nah, yeah, I called them
motherfuckers.
Talking about it ain't
been long enough yet.
Man, you look and
smell like shit, Peaches.
You drinking again?
Boy, don't worry about
what I'm doing, I'm grown.
Come on.
[smacks lips]
[Eric] Ma!
[door closes]
Mama!
Ma!
[dramatic music]
Oh shit, Ma!
[gasping]
[Janie] Ma! Ma?
[Eric whispers indistinctly]
G-- Get up.
[panting while pushing]
[Janie grunts]
Mama, Mama.
-[panting]
-[Eric] Oh, Jesus.
[grunting]
[panting]
[both sob]
[Eric mutters]
[Janie] Oh, God,
-no!
-[Eric] C'mon, Mama.
[both sobbing]
[Eric] Mama, get up!
[Janie] Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, no
Please... [indistinct]
Call 911, Eric.
[both continue sobbing]
Oh...
[music continues]
[sighs]
[gasps]
[grunts softly]
[continues grunting]
[echoing clinking]
[glass jingles]
[doorbells dings]
[grunts]
[moans loudly]
[grunts softly]
[music fades]
Janie Salisbury?
Yes?
Can we come in?
Be my guests.
[music restarts]
Is Francis with y'all?
No.
We're here about a hit-and-run
that occurred two nights ago.
Would you happen to know
anything about that?
A hit-and-run?
Where the hell is my
punk-ass boyfriend at?
Miss Salisbury, we're gonna
need you to come down
to the station and answer
a few questions.
Oh, Francis.
-What'd he do?
-[detective 2] Janie?
What'd he do?
I understand you're going
through a difficult time.
No, you don't.
You don't know nothing
about my life, okay?
You don't know me.
Miss Salisbury...
here is a warrant.
I'ma need you
to come with us.
[music turns tense]
I don't give a fuck
about no warrant!
Take me, motherfuckers.
If that's what you do,
you take me,
and that's what you
come to my house to do?
Janie, we will
explain everything
-when we get to the station.
-I ain't never did nothing...
Right now,
we need you to cooperate.
Cut the shit. Either you're gon'
walk out of this door
peacefully,
or we're gonna
drag your ass out.
You are reeking
of alcohol and guilt.
Let's go. I don't
have time for this.
-Let's go.
-Hold on.
Hold on.
-Where--
-[detective 2] Come on.
-Come on. Don't...
-[overlapping dialogue]
-I ain't doing anything.
-I understand.
-I understand.
-I ain't doing anything.
[overlapping dialogue]
-Watch your step, Janie.
-I didn't do anything.
Watch your step.
-You--
-I ain't do anything.
-Miss Salisbury...
-Calm down.
-I don't wanna put you in cuffs.
-Come on.
-Now, please.
-We just want to talk to you.
We just wanna talk to you.
Janie, we just wanna talk.
-I ain't do anything!
-We just want to talk, Janie.
-To anybody...
-We're gonna
explain everything
at the station.
Miss Salisbury, please.
-It's gonna be all right.
-[unintelligible]
-Take a left. Take a left.
-[unintelligible]
-'Bout to do it.
-[Janie continues
unintelligible]
[music fades]
Miss Salisbury...
...we have evidence
that your car was involved
in a hit-and-run two nights ago.
And the damage
on your vehicle is...
...consistent
with the police report.
I don't--
I didn't--
I didn't do anything.
[Janie sobs]
[sighs]
Given the circumstances
of this case...
...points to involvement
of a drunk driver.
And initially, Mr. Tolman would
have been our primary suspect.
[dramatic music]
However,
we have identified
the fact that...
...ironically, he was
involved in a DUI
and apprehended the same night,
driving this vehicle
registered to his wife's name.
-What?
-[detective 2] And that vehicle
showed no signs
of being involved
in a accident.
[Janie grunts softly]
Which brings
our attention to you...
...as a person of interest.
We looked into your background,
and we found multiple...
...domestic violence
complaints filed against you
by Roger Thomas.
What?
-[scoffs]
-As well as a incident of
-public intoxication,
-[Janie] Oh, man!
and a DUI
from three years ago.
Ah-- That's three years ago.
[detective 2] And additionally,
the vehicle
registered to your name...
...has visible damage
related to the accident.
Hold on.
Listen...
...I need you...
...to acknowledge...
...the seriousness
of your situation.
For someone has tragically
lost their lives.
With the evidence
that we've gathered,
it appears that
it all points to you.
[suspenseful music]
Somebody died?
Somebody died?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Wait.
I don't remember--
I remember...
I don't-- Wait.
I remember--
I re-- [inhales sharply]
I--
No. I--
I got a call from my brother.
Okay? He was telling me
that he couldn't
get a hold of Mama and...
...I went to her...
She was gone.
[inhales sharply]
Honestly...
...I don't remember anything
about anything...
...from that night.
I-- I don't--
I don't remember.
I'm sorry.
-I'm sorry.
-[sighs]
-[inhales and exhales]
-I'll tell you what.
Write down everything that you
remember from that night.
Take your time.
There's no rush.
You sign it...
...and we'll do
our best to help you.
[music continues]
[sighs]
[music continues]
[Janie] I need my lawyer.
[sighs]
[music turns tense]
[lock beeps]
-[lock beeping]
-[grunts softly]
-[quick sustained beep]
-[gasps]
[muttering]
Peaches, right?
What's going on?
[chuckles softly] Well,
looks like your taste in
men is no better than mine.
But at least
he left me this house
that I bought
ten years ago, legally.
So with that being said,
I'm sorry, Pe-- Peaches, right?
You're gonna have to find
somewhere else to live.
Can't I at least get my shit?
Oh, yeah, yeah, no, no, no.
No worries.
I took the liberty of putting it
all in your car for you.
-[keys jingle]
-[melancholic music]
You know, in a relationship,
one of two things
are going to happen.
Either the person's gonna
pick up your bad habits
or you're gonna pick up theirs.
Good day.
[music turns soft rock]
[Janie grunting softly]
[grunts]
[door squeaks]
Peaches.
[Janie grunts]
Peaches, what is you doing?
I didn't know you
was drinking again, bro.
[grunting softly]
[music turns melancholic]
Peach, I know you fucked up
about Mama, but...
...so am I.
[moans softly]
I love you, man.
[moans softly]
-Peach.
-[mutter softly]
Peaches.
You good?
No, no.
[music continues]
Talked to the lawyer today,
Peaches.
It's bad.
You got a meeting
with her tomorrow.
She says she's gonna try to
have it arranged for you to...
...turn yourself in after
Mama's funeral...
...since you're not
gonna be able to bond out.
Apparently, the nigga
you was fucking with...
Quick-deeded the farm and...
...did some illegal
shit with it.
Sold it off to
some shell company,
so we can't put it up
for your bail money.
I'ma try to get
a second opinion
after Mama's funeral.
[Janie mutters]
It's gonna be a'ight, Peach.
[Janie moans softly]
[moans]
Mama gone.
Mama gone.
[muttering indistinctly]
[mutters]
...my Mama is gone.
My Mama...
is gone. I need--
[muttering while sobbing]
-[knocking on door]
-[scoffs]
[muttering while sobbing]
What's up with
that bread, nigga?
Man, Black, I'ma need
a couple more days.
My mother just passed. We're
tryna arrange her funeral.
Man, I don't give a fuck.
You know what time it is.
Give me my motherfucking
bread right goddamn now.
Black, I'm gonna need you to
get the fuck out of my face.
I just lost my mother.
And I'm already going
to jail for murder, son.
Don't fuck with me.
Hello, Peaches.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Truly am.
I loved your mother.
She treated me like
I was one of her own.
So I wouldn't do nothing
to stand in the way
of your momma's funeral.
[music turns tense]
So I do have a heart.
I just wish you ain't break it.
[gunshot echoes]
[thuds]
[music fades]
[monitor beeping]
[moans softly]
-[Janie moans softly]
-She's waking up.
[gasping]
[moans]
[grunts]
[gasps]
[sighs]
Slow down.
[Janie moans softly]
-Slow down.
-[groans softly]
What?
[Venessa shushes]
Hey... It's gonna be okay, okay?
-[Janie muttering]
-Just relax.
Everything's gonna be just fine.
[sighing]
[suspenseful music]
Thank you so much.
[music ends]
[melancholic music]
[Janie] Hi, everybody. My name
is Janie Salisbury, and...
...I'm an alcoholic.
I recently
fell in love with a guy.
Not to blame the guy, but...
...I ignored the red flags.
-I wanted so much
-[cell door clanks]
to escape
my world to be in his world,
and...
...his world was just like the
world I wanted to escape.
He hit and killed a man in the
car he bought for me,
and he was going to let me
go to prison for it.
If it wasn't for his ex-wife
seeing him drive
my car that night,
his plan would've worked.
Nice car.
[Janie] Before Francis...
...I was secretly
dating my childhood friend.
[Black] So let me guess.
You 'bout to be
one of them dudes
that asks me
what I do to get in.
Ain't that how it go?
[Janie] Kept it from my family
because...
...he's a street guy.
We partied.
We fought a lot.
We drank a lot.
We...
Believe it or not,
I was the aggressor.
I knew in order to save myself,
I had to leave him.
He didn't take it well at all.
He promised to make my life
a living hell every chance
he could get.
I never thought Roger
would hurt me...
actually try to kill me.
Man, I shot my ex-girl.
Damn.
Why?
I don't know, man.
I guess I feel
like I lost her.
Really, it was
on some sucker shit.
Damn, Peaches.
[Francis stutters]
W-- When did this happen?
You killed her?
What the fuck you care?
Do you know her or something?
Nah, man.
Nah, man, my bad.
[Janie] I guess he realized I
didn't love him anymore, and...
I don't know.
Honestly, after everything
I put him through,
I don't even know how
he could still love me.
I've suffered a lot.
A lot of mental pain,
a lot of emotional pain.
Lost loved ones.
Even my nursing license.
Sadly, I relapsed.
After I stopped going
to meetings and...
...forgot to take it
one day at a time.
I'm committed to change.
I promised my mother,
I promised her I would keep...
...our family legacy alive,
-and I will not let alcohol
-[Janie indistinct]
hinder my progress.
Oh, what's up, sis?
-[Janie] Are you working?
Is he working?
-You know it!
-Are you watching this one?
-What you mean? Come on.
-Are you watching him?
Just watch him.
-[Venessa chuckles] Oh!
-How you doing?
-Thank you for coming out here
and helping me.
-[Venessa] Girl, no problem.
-So much help.
-Hey boo!
-Hey, boo!
-How are you?
-Good!
You watch this one.
-I will, girl, you already
know I will.
-[chuckling]
Come on now, Peach.
-It is good to see you.
-You too.
[soft gentle music]
[chuckling]
[Janie] I recognize...
-...I'm powerless over alcohol.
-[sighs]
And I'm determined
to overcome it.
