[Gun shot]
[Panting]
Therapy? Girl, this is crazy. You know
how you may go through a
traumatic experience in life?
And your primary care physician wants to
put you on medication like you crazy?
Well, mine didn't only prescribe me the
pills. He also prescribed the therapy
sessions to go with it.
[Music]
[Birds chirping]
Miss Bell, you can have a seat here. Dr.
Aziz will be with you shortly.
Okay.
Now, if you know me, you know that I'm a
very private person.
I won't want anybody knowing that I'm
here about to lay
down on some dusty couch.
To give some stranger the who, what,
when, how, and why I
did what I did in life.
Oh well, here we go.
Gina Bell?
Yes, I'm sorry, I'm Gina Bell.
It's okay. You can relax.
Whatever makes you more
comfortable. It's totally up to you.
Okay. Well, I think I'm just going to
stick to sitting up.
All right. So, I understand that you've
experienced a very traumatic event.
Yeah. Well, you came highly recommended
for my friend Detective Sophia Lorenz.
Yes.
Yeah, she said that you helped her
through a pretty rough time.
Yes. Just so you know,
this is a safe space.
Now, we'll begin with
a breathing exercise.
I want you to take three
deep breaths, in deep, out deep.
Then after the third, we'll begin.
Ready? Okay. That
started at the beginning.
Okay. 2017.
You got my bestie, Sophia. She's a
detective for the local PD.
A bit promiscuous, but we're not really
gonna get into that right now.
Then we have my fly queer bestie, Cameron.
Little, who's also my business partner.
Now, we all live busy lives, but we try
to get together at least once a month,
either for lunch or dinner.
This time in particular,
Cameron couldn't make it.
Hey, sis?
- Oh, hey, girl.
I'm so sorry I'm
late. I'm sorry I'm late.
I was dealing with David.
You mean the demon?
We're not gonna do that. Where's Cam?
Cam got a call from a new.
Zaddy, so he busy.
Okay, period.
I need me some of
what you drinking, though.
Hello, ladies. How are
you guys doing today?
How you doing?
I'd like to welcome you to the Nerd's
kitchen. Can I start you
off with something to drink?
I'm gonna have what she has. Okay. Okay.
And what would you like
to have for your meal?
I'm gonna do the salmon, and can I get
asparagus and potatoes as my side.
Okay. Will that be all for you today?
That's it. Thank you so much.
You're welcome. I'll be right back there
with everything. Okay.
Well, what's up with you sis? It's been a
minute since we sat down
and we had something to eat.
I know, girl.
What's tea?
So the captain just put me as lead at
this new crazy missing women case.
Really? Missing women?
Yes. Real high profile.
I'm a get briefed on it in the morning.
That's what's up.
Cheers.
Oh, my God,
girl. John, about to walk in here.
John, John. Your John? Girl, I think
you low key love that man.
You being messy.
Hey John.
Hey how y'all doing.
How are you?
Doing well. Doing well. I just got a
couple of properties in that area.
Nice.
- Not too big. How you doing?
How you doing?
Gina.
Huh?
John just
asked you a question.
I'm so sorry, John. What did you ask me?
Just asking you how you doing?
I'm good.
Real estate business going well?
It's going great, actually. I just
acquired some properties and,
I actually need a contractor
to come do some work for me.
Give me a call. We can set it up.
Well, it was good seeing y'all.
Good seeing you, John.
Mhmm.
Really.
What?
Girl, not you. Eye fucking that
man all the way out the door.
Girl, I...
You are pregnant now.
I am a happy woman in a relationship.
John is just a friend.
You in a relationship minus the happy part.
David. Who was he?
He was my boyfriend.
What happened?
It didn't work out.
He was controlling. And abusive.
Hey, babe.
What did I ask you to do today?
Oh, I'm so sorry. I
forgot all about that.
My day was long.
You had one simple thing to do.
And you forgot.
I had all these contracts
that I had to work on.
Then it was this crazy lady at the title
office. She didn't make it no better.
You just love to piss me off. Don't you?
David. I'm so sorry.
[Slap!] [Scream]
Shut the fuck up.
You talk when I tell you you can talk.
I told you to transfer $75,000 by 2 p.m.
Now my business is delayed
because you're a stupid ass forgot.
Getcho ass up.
No, no.
[Slap] [Panting]
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
You lil bitch.
[Punch] [Scream]
[Chuckling]
Please, Jake.
No. No, please.
Please, no David.
Please, David.
No.
No.
[Screams]
[Screams] [Crying]
No. Please.
He really beat me bad that night.
Why didn't you contact the police or get
the restraining order?
I guess because David
wasn't always so bad.
He did have a soft side.
Good morning, baby.
Wakey, wakey.
Hey, beautiful.
Come on, get up.
Made some breakfast for you.
You can eat, shower, get ready for the day.
Hey, we gonna have a
lovely day. I'll see you later.
Oh, transfer that money.
Love you.
[Screams]
And how was the rest of that day?
I ate, took a shower, put on some
comfortable clothes.
[Phone buzzing]
Hello?
Grand rising, Diva.
I know you better be getting
ready to go show that property.
Cam it's a very important client today.
Girl, that's why I'm calling you.
I had to handle this
important thing this morning.
Oh my God, Cam.
I do not feel good this morning.
You can't cancel
whatever it is you got going on.
I'm sorry, boss lady, but I won't be in
the office until 1 p.m.
I'll send over the comps and client info.
You know what? You're going to
owe me big time for this one.
Don't I always come through?
Send over the comps.
Who am I meeting with again?
Miranda Casper.
Alright, I got you.
Well, that was nice of you to allow your
subordinate to take the day off
to handle a personal emergency.
Hmm. It was personal, all right.
Oh, that kind of emergency.
I already knew it.
But hey, every girl needs a late morning
every now and again, you know.
Understood.
If Cam had came to work that day,
I probably wouldn't even be sitting on
the couch talking to you.
Why is that?
Because that was the day my life, my
world changed forever.
[Music]
Oh, wow.
This is gorgeous.
[Knock on door]
[door creaks]
[birds chirping]
May I help you?
I'm here to see the property.
I'm sorry. This property is only to be
seen by appointment only.
Yes, I'm Ronaldo Vega.
I believe you spoke to my
assistant, Miranda Casper.
Oh, yeah, Miranda. Okay.
Yeah, I hope that's okay, but she
suggested that I came and saw the
property for myself.
[Music]
For you?
Thank you.
Come in.
So, um, are you new to this area?
I am.
I moved around a bit in
the past due to business,
but now I'm looking to settle in.
Wow.
That's got to be hard on your wife and
kids moving around so much.
I'm not married, nor do I have children.
Well, can I ask what it is that you do to
have you moving around so much?
I manage investments for
a very elite clientele.
Hmm.
Not to mention I own some real estate in
a few other countries.
Wow. That's impressive.
I'm told that you are one of the top
brokers in the city, Ms. Gina,
but they failed to mention how
breathtaking you are.
Well, thank you, sir.
So, shall we start
this tour of the property?
After you?
So, now that I've seen the
property, I really do like it.
And I would love to
make an offer on it, but...
But it's a bit too pricey, right?
Oh, no. Of course not.
I would love to make an offer on it, but
I would need you to do
something for me first.
Anything.
I mean...
I'm sorry.
What do you need me to do?
The other property that
Miranda told you about.
The one in the Villa Estates.
I want to acquire that one as well.
Okay. Well, we can make that happen.
Um, that's not a problem.
Let me pull that
information up on my tablet,
and you take a look,
and we can go from there.
Sounds good.
Take a look and tell me what you think.
That's the one.
All right. Well, let's make it happen.
[Music]
You know, I could see myself cooking
Sunday dinner in this kitchen.
It's beautiful.
Yes, I can see that as well.
Um, question.
What's your favorite food?
Um...
Spicy chicken and shrimp pasta with
butter garlic bread.
But I'm a sucker for a
home cooked breakfast as well.
Okay. You know what?
My chef makes an amazing spicy pasta.
I mean, if you like, I can have him
prepare a serving. Just for you.
Just for me?
Of course.
Whatever you want.
Um...
Okay.
[Birds chirping]
This is beautiful.
So, Mr. Renaldo.
Yes.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Um...
Sharing life with the woman of my dreams.
Traveling the world and living...
I'm sorry.
I apologize if I'm being too direct.
It's fine.
It's just that I'm...
I'm in a relationship, and...
I think it's best if we
just keep things professional.
A relationship?
Really?
Are you happy?
I'm very happy.
But do you have joy?
The freedom...
The security to live and get the best
that life has to offer?
Gina.
You should embrace life,
and enjoying it with
its unlimited privilege.
[Birds chirping] [Music]
Now let me ask you...
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Winning.
[typing]
[Phone ringing]
Well, good day.
Hey, boo.
Okay, let's have it.
This Miss Miranda buying or faking?
She's buying.
I just sent you over two cash offers.
I'm gonna need you to send them straight
over to the seller agents, okay?
Uh, wait. Okay, okay, okay.
Hold on.
I got it.
Gina.
Am I looking at a 2.5 million?
Yes. That's crazy, right?
Man, yeah.
I know.
So I'm about to get ready to
go get my gown for tonight.
I'm gonna call you back, okay?
Exciting times.
Nothing like new money.
Look, I gotta admit it.
A commission like that, it
does add value to your swag.
How so?
Nothing material.
It's like...
It gave me confidence.
You know?
Independence.
Purpose for a strong black woman.
Hey, babe.
Can you hand me my earrings
from over there by the TV?
Sure, baby.
Here ya go.
Thank you.
You look beautiful, baby.
Thank you, my love.
Of course, you know I have to.
Standing next to my handsome man.
[chuckles]
You ready for the evening?
Mm-hmm.
I think it's gonna be a good night.
Yeah.
Give me one second.
Hey, babe.
You know, I still need that money for the
investment I was telling you about.
You know, you never told me exactly what
that investment was about.
What do you mean, what it's for?
It's none of your damn business.
I mean, it is my business if you're
spending my money to do it.
You do what I tell you to do.
Where you goin.
[Slap] What's wrong with you?
[grunting]
Get off me!
[grunting]
Don't you ever put your
fucking hands on me again.
If you do, I swear to God I'll kill you.
I want you to get your shit and get the
fuck out of my house.
[grunting]
Damn it.
Fuckin' bitch.
[grunting]
Oh, fuck.
Ugh..
[grunting]
[music playing]
[music playing]
Thank you.
Gina Bell.
Ooh, that dress looks stunning on you.
You are gonna turn some
heads tonight, young lady.
Thank you.
Ah. Miranda, dear. I was supposed
to meet you at the showings,
but Renaldo insisted he meet you himself.
Oh, okay. Well, in that
case, everything went great.
They accepted both offers.
I'm just going to need him to come in
tomorrow to sign some
paper work if that's, okay?
That will be amazing. I
will definitely let him know.
Okay. I mean, well...
Is Renaldo here?
Yeah, he will be at some point.
Okay.
But for now, let me introduce you to some
very in fluent people. Come on.
Okay.
[music playing]
Definitely recommend.
Thank you.
- Would you
excuse me for a moment?
Of course.
Attention, distinguished guests.
I'd like to welcome you to The Caucus and
introduce you to tonight's host,
Renaldo Vega.
[Cheers]
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
I'd like to thank you
all for coming out tonight.
Please feel free to eat, drink, and enjoy
every pleasure that tonight has to offer.
[cheers] [music playing]
[door creaks]
[moans]
[music playing]
Gina.
Shh.
Do you like what you see?
What do you mean?
Do you like what you see?
Yes.
You do like that?
Yes.
What about David?
It's over.
[music playing]
[birds chirping]
[music playing]
[phone ringing]
Hello.
Gina?
Yes, this is her.
Hello Gina, this is Sarah from the bank.
Hey girl, what's up?
David came in this morning and said you
were in the hospital. How are you doing?
Wait, what?
Yes, he came in and made a huge
withdrawal. You said you both were
opening a new business adventure.
Hold on, wait. How is that possible he
doesn't even have an
account with you guys?
We received an online authorization from
you last night to make
him an authorized user.
I didn't authorize anything.
Wait, how much did he withdraw?
All funds from both accounts. Wait, you
didn't authorize this?
No, wait. Is there any way
that we can stop this check?
He withdrew cash.
Oh my god.
What?
David?
David!
David!
What?
[phone chimes]
Fuck.
He was so hurt that David did that to me.
He stole every damn dime that I had.
But then I remembered.
I had a multi-million
dollar closing to get to.
[phone chimes]
[birds chirping]
[phone ringing]
Vega.
Yes, everything is going
exactly the way we planned it.
[ominous music.
Ship the girls to Cuba.
(birds chirping)
The captain.
His money will be delivered at the pier.
In fact, my associate
just arrived with the cash.
Okay, good.
Right on time, my friend.
(birds chirping)
Wait, so your boyfriend, at the time,
stole your money and...
Yep, and that's not even the half of it.
Hey, boo.
- Hey, hey.
One iced mocha cappuccino.
Thank you, my love, thank you.
You didn't get anything?
You know I don't drink
coffee in the afternoon.
Listen suit yourself,
just like my medicine.
Yeah, where the boss lady.
Umm.
[phone chimes]
She should be here in a few.
I know she honestly
been a little bit MIA, so.
Hey, Cam, I got a run.
I just got a message about a woman
missing from some mansion party.
Do you?
Go ahead.
The queen has arrived finally.
Awe.
Hey girl. Aye I got a run, but ummm.
I got a run
I'm following up on
a lead, but you good?
I've had a morning, but
we'll talk about it later.
You go ahead, you be safe out there.
All right, you too, boo.
All right.
See you, boo, thank you for the coffee.
Hi.
We're gonna have you
have a seat right here.
[suspense music]
(birds chirping)
All right, and I just need your last.
Signature and the
two certified payments, and we're all do.
Hands cramping.
[chuckling] Thought it would never end.
So what was the significance of the flyer?
Well, that venue was a
part of the investigation
that she was leading.
So the closing was complete.
Did you and Cameron go and celebrate?
Nope.
I had other plans.
Pleasure.
Case closed.
Renaldo will be so thrilled.
Everything went so smooth.
I am so happy that
everything went well today.
Oh, Before I forget.
He want me to give you this.
Don't be late.
Okay.
Bitch, David gone lose his mind.
And who was Renaldo?
I don't deal with David no more.
Yeah, right.
Wait, you serious?
Yes.
He literally moved out
today and changed his number.
So my girl finally free?
Yes, finally free to do me, okay.
Um-hmm, now answer this question.
Who is Renaldo?
And why he got your nose so wide open?
See, you in my business, don't do that.
This is my business.
The tea is hot and I know you got money.
Now, what makes you think he got money?
Please.
If you can drop 2.5
million on two properties
just like that, that's like
a Tyler Perry bag, come on.
All right, Cam Cam.
You dirty bitch.
I love you.
You did a good job today.
Be safe, boo.
Let's see.
Who this.
Million.
Dollar.
Man is..
Gotcha.
[birds chirping]
[birds chirping] [music playing]
[music playing] [door
creaks] [birds chirping]
[birds chirping]
Good evening, beautiful.
You look good.
Thank you.
[wine pouring]
I gotta admit, you were right.
Your chef made an amazing spicy pasta.
See, I told you, right?
You did.
[laughing]
I asked him to prepare for you,
especially for this occasion.
So I'm just glad you enjoyed it.
It's amazing food, this beautiful house.
Thank you.
You know something?
This is actually my home away from home.
Wait, so if this isn't
home, then where is it?
I have a log cabin up in the mountains.
I call it my secret hideaway.
It was a part of a cash
acquisition a few years ago.
Totally off grid.
Off grid, huh?
Of course.
You know, sometimes you
have to, as they say, escape.
I feel that.
[crickets chirping]
This is really nice.
I don't understand why you
would keep buying properties
when you can just live here.
Because buying properties
is what I enjoy doing.
So, I guess you can say I have a
deep love for acquiring beautiful things.
Well.
I enjoy what I do to.
It's cool.
Toast to that.
So what made you choose
real estate in the first place?
Honestly, growing up
in the hood was dismal.
I would get on my bike
and ride through the most
beautiful neighborhoods and
look at the beautiful homes.
And that's when I knew this was for me.
That's very inspiring.
Don't get me wrong, now.
It was tough at first.
But I worked my ass off
to get to where I am now.
Want some more?
Mm-hmm.
[wine pouring.
Thank you.
Well, I have a question.
What exactly happened
between you and your fiance?
Oh no.
I don't want to ruin this
amazing night talking about him.
Well, just indulge me a moment.
Never to discuss again.
I promise.
Okay, well, he abused me.
Mentally and physically.
He also stole $290,000 out of my account.
And that was all I had.
Damn.
Look, Gina.
No.
You don't have to do that.
It's okay, you don't have
to pretend like you care.
One minute.
Look, you don't have to be strong.
I'd be strong for you.
What is this?
It's $300,000.
To replace what was stolen.
You would do this for me?
And so much more.
Look, I don't understand.
Why are you doing all of this?
Because you deserve it.
[music playing] [crickets chirping]
New love.
Sounds like things
were beginning to look up.
Yeah.
It got real fun for a while.
[music playing] [birds chirping]
Awe, baby.
Morning, beautiful.
Good morning.
(car engine revving)
Go have a seat,
everything is just about ready.
Okay.
I got everything.
Did you sleep good?
(birds chirping)
Mm-hmm.
This is really good.
I didn't know you could cook like this.
You never asked, did you?
I'm starting to think,
what else is it about
you that I don't know yet?
Now, you know it is all right for me
to keep you in suspense
about some things, right?
No, just so you don't get bored of me
and probably run off with another man.
Oh, see, that'll never happen,
because you're stuck with me now.
Oh, yeah?
Mm-hmm.
[phone buzzing]
One second.
(phone buzzing)
Hello?
This is he.
Ah, so it has arrived.
Yeah.
All right, that sounds good.
All right, bye.
I gotta run, baby.
You go ahead.
Handle your business. I'll
clean all this up.
Okay.
[music playing]
Happy birthday, baby doll.
Thank you.
Are you serious?
Oh my God, I can't believe you did this.
Look.
Oh my God, it's so
pretty, thank you, baby.
Mm-mm.
(laughing)
Oh my God, I can't believe it.
I owe you.
What you owe me?
Let me show you what I owe you.
Mm-hmm.
[kissing]
Happy birthday, baby.
Shit.
You okay, doc?
Yes, yes.
Please, continue.
[phone buzzing]
Hey, Sophia.
Hey, Cam.
How's those
mean streets treating my girl.
Child, I'm sitting on the location now,
but other than that, I'm good.
Good, good, okay.
So, how was the hot date last night?
Mm-hmm, grown and sexy.
Can't believe how gorgeous she is.
Wait, she?
I thought you was out with the guy Tommy.
And that was in the afternoon.
He was lunch and she's dinner.
Best of both worlds.
That's a little confusing,
but hey, you gotta pick a side.
Baby, I am a free agent, okay?
Sometimes I like nuts, sometimes I don't.
[laughing]
Hell.
I ain't hating, but everybody can't have
a perfect love life like Gina.
Oh, like her and David are so perfect.
[laughing]
David?
What you you must not know.
Know what?
Child, David has no more.
Gina got fed up and told him to move out.
Ooh, she didn't even tell me.
You left peacefully, right?
Mm-hmm, right after he
stole all her coins.
No, he didn't.
He damn sure did.
What happened?
Child, the bank manager called her
and had some sort of
access to her accounts
and transferred everything.
Damn it, Gina.
Bounced the bank on they ass, the
manager had to call and everything.
Fuckin' David.
Man, I got a check on her.
Oh, she good now, though.
Especially with her new
man cutting a stimulus check.
I wonder why she
ain't tell me about no new man?
Child, a while ago, he was a client
on a two-property deal
that was worth $2.5 million.
But, um she comin', so I'm a
have to call you back.
Let me chop it up wit my girl real quick.
Oh, okay.
[laughing]
Must be nice to have
your cake and eat it, too.
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
No, ain't no hate, partner.
Do you.
I mean, for real, like, I want the family
and all that, right, you know?
I hear a but.
But then, I see all the
shit choices that's out here,
and I'm like, "I'm good, I'm good."
Look, give it a chance, partner.
Mr. Right's gonna
come along and sweep you
right off your feet.
Mr.
At this rate, I wouldn't be mad
if a miss came through with a broom.
[laughing]
Wait, wait, wait, so you're
into the bisexual thing now?
For now.
(people chattering)
She in there?
Yeah.
Where Mark?
He around.
He around?
Yeah.
Let me holla at you, man.
(birds chirping)
Oh shit, is that?
So what happened?
Food run.
When I came back, she
was trying to escape.
Look, man, we gotta get out of here.
It's time for a new city.
We leave when I say we leave.
Look, we just need to make sure
that we make this delivery.
One time.
All right, what about Gina?
It's the time we turn her over.
You know, they'll pay big money for her.
That is still the plan, right?
Oh you getting soft?
Nigga, ain't nobody getting soft.
Yeah, that's still the plan.
Just been handling other
business things, that's it.
Okay, no problem.
I'll grab her.
I can have her on a boat
and in Mexico by tonight.
You know, Luise will pay top.
Nigga, if you ever touch her again,
I feed you the hand
that you touched her with,
and blow your motherfucking head off.
Understand?
(people chattering)
So, you...
Yep, my ex-boyfriend was
working for my new love.
Hmm, and it gets better.
[phone buzzing]
Girl, you must be missing me.
Hey, Cam, I need you to listen.
We are watching David and some other dude
leave a location I
have under surveillance.
You think David got
something to do with your case?
I don't know yet.
Baby, the Queen's new
king just bought her
a brand new car for her birthday.
Can't believe she hadn't
told me about this dude.
Cuz you a hoe.
I don't want her man.
Is he cute?
Bitch, I haven't seen him.
But he got her ass wide open.
Investigate fool, she
gotta have some pics
on her phone or something.
Now that's real scandalous.
I'm a detective.
Get some intel, we need to
know about this mystery man.
She actually just
left her phone right here
and she went to the bathroom.
Sent it.
What you doing?
Hey, nothing is going
over, new contracts.
The usual.
- Give me one.
Take that one.
Mm-hmm.
[suspense music]
Dispatch, I need a backup unit
to assist at the warehouse district.
Go.
(birds chirping)
Ready?
All right, right on your back.
Yo, hold it down, I'm
about to take a piss.
Surprise, don't you fucking move.
Who else is in here?
It's us and the girl.
Detective Jones, can you go check out
the rest of the building?
Yeah, I got you.
What girl, where?
In the closet.
Got us another one.
Fuck.
Put your hands
behind your fucking back.
[handcuffs clacking]
Wait, wait a minute.
We got here.
Let's go.
Ma'am, are you okay?
Can you tell me your name?
Can we get a medic in here?
Ma'am, it's okay, I
got you, I got you, okay?
Stay with me, I got you.
Oh, wow.
So David, your ex-boyfriend.
Mm-hmm, and that ain't even a half of it.
Sophia, hey, beautiful, what a surprise.
Girl.. I know, I just had to
come see you, stranger.
Can I come in?
Yes girl come in. Come on.
- Okay.
Damn girl, this is nice.
I ain't know real estate
was paying like this.
Thank you, and I know, right girl,
business has been booming
these past couple of months.
Mm-hmm.
Come on, come sit down have a
seat, come talk to me.
Hey, so you need anything?
Water bottle, wine.
Nah, girl, I'm good.
What's up, sis?
Haven't talked to you in a while.
Yeah, I know, this case has
been keeping me pretty busy.
Any leads?
Actually, when's the last
time you talked to David?
David?
No.
See, we haven't talked in a while,
so I wasn't able to tell you that
me and David are no longer together.
Yeah, I know.
I also know he stole over a quarter
million dollars from you.
Who told you that, Cam?
Yeah, I'm just wondering
why you didn't tell me.
I'm sorry, Sophia, I
just been so busy with work.
Plus, you know what?
David can have it.
Girl, what?
Like, you always let David slide.
All the stuff he's done to
you over all of these years.
Is he blackmailing you?
What... No, David's just...
Yeah, David is our lead suspect right now.
And I need to protect you, so
you gotta give me something.
Wait, what?
How?
Girl, we saw David leave in a location
we have under surveillance.
We found one of the
missing women in there
chained to a pole.
What?
Yeah, we arrested two
guys, and after I leave here,
I'm going down there to question them.
I mean, well, Sophia, I
don't know what to tell you
because I don't know anything about that.
Maybe you know
something and you don't realize
you know something.
Or maybe you the silent partner.
What?
Wait, hold on, why would
you even think something
like that of me?
Really?
Maybe you the money behind all of it.
Sophia, come on now.
You out of all people
know me better than anybody.
I wouldn't hurt a fly.
Are you okay?
It's just a lot, you know?
Okay.
So how about we break for today
and then we come back next week?
No.
Can we, can we just continue, please?
I really wanna get this out.
Sure.
[ominous music]
I was abused as a child.
My aunt and her boyfriend
would get high off heroin.
And then she let him rape me.
Ahh.
This went on for a few years.
One day, I found her heroin stash
and I mixed it with rat poison.
Who's stashed?
My aunt's.
I see.
I mixed it in with her favorite chili.
Did you ever confess
that you had confessed
this to the authorities?
No.
David was the only one
who knew all of those years.
I did finally tell Sophia.
Okay.
And how did she receive it?
I mean, that's the reason
why I never said anything
about all the things that David did.
Because I was scared that
he'd go to the police on me.
Gina, you know I got you, right?
I promise that won't happen.
So this other thing, it's not you, right?
No, no, I promise you.
I don't have anything to do with that.
I don't even know what
that's all about, honestly.
Okay.
Good.
Let me get back on down to the station.
Oh girl, Cam told me you got a new boo
and you in love...
I do.
Where is he?
Is he around somewhere?
Actually, he's not.
He's away on business,
but I am supposed to be
meeting up with him in a couple of days.
That's not too bad.
I guess I'll meet him
sooner or later. You know?
Yeah.
Yeah, but listen, listen, listen.
I always got your back, no matter what.
You be careful.
Okay.
I love you, girl.
I love you, too.
[birds chirping] [music playing]
Alright.
Mark.
Cabrera.
Hello.
Kidnapping women.
Renting mansions, throwing yatch
parties, and buying warehouses.
Exactly how does all this work?
I don't know what y'all talking about.
You don't know.
You know something, Mr. Cabrera.
No, I don't.
So how is it you're in the same place
with a woman who's bound in a closet?
With the keys to her
cuffs in your pocket.
Well, they ain't my keys?
It's not what your partner said.
He's about to be
released because he got smart.
If he talk, he ain't smart.
He dead.
You think that, but he and his family
want a way to witness
protection as we speak.
Same deal as waiting,
waiting just for you.
I ain't telling you nothing, bitch.
Okay.
Whose address is that?
And is this your wife, Sheila?
Your son Antonio and your daughter Marcy?
What are you doin' with my family?
We're sending them back
to the Dominican Republic.
And now everybody's
gonna know you're a rat.
They'll be dead in a few hours.
All right, wait, wait.
Wait, they gonna kill my family.
I'll tell y'all what you need to know.
Okay.
- They're gonna kill my family.
Fuck.
Okay.
I'll tell you
everything you need to know.
But we get protection, right?
If you tell us who you work for,
and how the operation works.
Caucus Cartel.
Never heard of them.
Exactly.
See, they move the operation quietly.
They control everything,
North America, South America,
Europe, they move
women, megatons of drugs,
coke, dope, et cetera all that.
So who wants operation here?
Stay focused, Mark.
Help us help you.
Vega, man.
Vega.
Vega.
You got a last name?
All I know is Vega.
I know he run everything in the US.
You get him you'll bring everything down.
And what about David?
Who's David?
But listen.
Still time to save them.
Save who?
Oh.
Oh, y'all don't know.
Know what?
What about my deal?
We got you.
Nah, fuck that, no deal.
He holding out on us.
Lorenz, hold up, hold up.
Save who?
(sirens blaring)
[police chatter]
Lorenz, you gotta see this.
Oh my God.
Hey, did we get those
phones off of Mark and Shake?
Yeah, we got them
tagged early in the car, why?
Let's just make sure we keep them close
in case any calls come through.
Sophia. You good?
Gina.
Gina?
I'll tell you in the car, come on.
[phone ringing]
Vega.
Hey, boss.
Sorry to bother you, but we
got a problem at the warehouse.
What problem?
[engine rumbling]
[car door slamming]
[phone ringing]
What the hell happened at the warehouse?
I could tell you what
didn't happen in that warehouse.
And who do I have the
pleasure of speaking to?
Detective Sophia Lorenz.
It's obvious you have no idea
who you are dealing with, sweetheart.
Gerald Manuel.
Ex-Hitman.
Coward and now human trafficker?
Or should I call you Renaldo?
You really think
you're saving those women?
Listen to me, we'll just get 50 more
and have them shipped
out in less than 48 hours.
You sick bastard.
What kind of real man gets
a kick out of hurting women?
You'll soon find out.
Ta-ta.
He knows we're on his tail now.
So Gina's in love with the devil.
Yep, she don't even know it.
[knocking on door]
Hmm.
[phone ringing]
I was just about to call you girl.
Have you spoken to Gina?
Why, what's wrong?
We just found out that Renaldo
is behind all of these missing women
and David is working with him somehow.
The demon?
Yes.
The demon works for the devil.
We gotta save her.
Where's she headed?
I don't have an exact location.
Okay, stay by your phone.
So, what's the next move?
We track her phone
that'll lead us to him.
We'll be able to save her.
Wait, you think he knows
that you and her are friends?
No, of course not.
Hell, I just found out about him.
But just in case, we need to get to her
and get to her fast.
Come on.
I was so excited.
A nice little getaway
with the man in my dreams.
So I thought.
[music playing]
Gina wait a minute.
Damn.
What's the problem?
What's the problem?
So that's what you're doing now?
Just calm down, all right?
Let me get you a drink.
I'll explain everything.
Good.
Come on, stop
acting like you didn't know
that this is what the caucus is.
What do you mean, acting
like I didn't know what it was?
So do you remember the gala that night?
You saw it firsthand, while you
were peeping through doors?
No, you told me that you were into
investments, remember?
Importing and exporting
for high-end clientele.
I do.
Look, I manage money laundering
and human trafficking for the cartel.
It's $800 billion business, baby.
What?
Look.
I launder money through various
businesses as a front.
Businesses like your real estate firm.
No, you didn't do that.
Why do you think you even got
an invitation to the party that night.
David put us on to you
a long time ago, Gina.
We just needed your business.
This has been a setup
since the beginning, Gina.
So you were just
using me this entire time?
I thought you loved me.
I do love you.
In fact, I love all the
women who make me money.
But, you my love.
You are special.
Yeah.
They're gonna love you.
Nice.
Normal fee?
Hell no.
Triple for this one.
Done.
Have fun.
Oh I will.
[birds chirping]
[door creaking]
[phone vibrates]
Hey, Gina.
Are you okay?
If you can just tell me where you are,
we'll come and get you.
Renaldo?
Gina isn't available at the moment.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Beep.
[chuckles]
Oh, you think this is funny?
Where is Gina?
I told you.
She can't come to the phone right now.
Let her go, you sick son of a bitch.
Oh, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Especially not now.
See, Gina has to be
punished for what she did.
If you hurt her, I swear.
(phone disconnect)
Shut up, bitch.
Did we get it?
No, he hung up to fast.
I did get a ping from the
nearest cell phone tower.
How far from here?
15 minutes or so.
Okay, can we get over there and get some
assistance from the local PD?
I'm on it.
[phone ringing]
Cam, do you and Gina have that cell phone
locator feature on the business phones?
Okay, good. I need you
to do a search for Gina.
We are in the vicinity with the sheriff
and we need her location.
Okay, hurry, hurry, hurry.
[static sound]
[screams]
Help please!
No, please stop!
[screams]
[screams]
No wait.
Please! Please! Please, no!
[screams]
Please!
Please! No more, no more.
Listen to me.
Let me go.
Listen to me.
Please, no.
Listen, this can all be over.
Just tell me what you told the cop.
I didn't tell them anything.
This is not gonna be good for you.
If you keep lying to me.
I didn't tell them anything.
I didn't tell anything
about you Renaldo.
Gina..
You're not cooperating.
Renaldo baby.
Please.
I didn't tell anybody.
Anything.
I swear, please, let me go.
No!
No more! No more!
No, more!
Hey, get to the yacht to secure the
drivers and the cash.
I'll meet you there in a few hours.
Looks like we're going to have to shut
the operation down for a little while.
I can't do this anymore, Renaldo.
Listen, I don't need your
shit right now, big sister.
And always talking about getting out.
I mean it this time.
This shit has gone on too far.
And now the feds is involved.
I'm a fucking detective.
No, you are a spoiled ass little bitch.
And Louise was right about you.
It's fucking worthless.
Worthless?
Fuck Louise.
After all the shit I done done for you
guys, cover for you?
For the cartel, Sophia.
The family.
I'm done.
If I catch you, I'm taking you down.
And risk going down yourself.
I think not.
Yeah.
If it means you're coming down with me,
and I'm not going to let
you hurt another woman.
Especially not my friend.
Lorenz, you good?
Lorenz.
Lorenz.
You good?
Oh yeah.
We gotta get this guy.
No doubt.
Any luck on the address?
Waiting for Cam to
call me back right now.
Hey, detective.
Everybody's on standby.
As soon as we get the
location, we're ready to roll.
All right.
Thanks, Sheriff.
[phone ringing]
Hey Cam.
Sophia.
I found the location?
Nineteen Fisher Lane.
Okay.
Thank you, boo.
Sheriff.
Hey.
Nineteen Fisher Lane.
Okay, let's roll.
We are coming.
Come on, Sophia.
Let's go.
Come on, let's go.
No, get off me. Please
stop. No! No, get off me.
Get off me, no! No please. No stop!
Don't touch me. Let me go.
Get off of me.
Get off me!
What the fuck you doing, man?
[gun shot]
[crying] [panting]
It wasn't suppose to be like this.
But, I have to go for now.
I'll love you always, my Gina.
[crying] [panting]
[phone ringing] [panting]
[suspense music]
[phone chimes]
Detective, we found her.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina.
Hey, let's get the medic in here now, now!
Someone get some help!
Oh my God, no, no, Gina!
Gina!
(crying)
Rescued.
I thought I was gonna die.
But you didn't?
And that's all that matters.
That's true.
But being around friends who
love me, that was a relief.
Even Sophia?
Well, at the time, I didn't know.
But yeah.
[somber music]
[music playing]
John.
Hey you.
Welcome back.
How long was I out?
About a, week and a half or so.
Oh my God.
[clears throat]
I need some water.
All right, hold on, let me
go get the nurse, okay?
Mmm.
[groaning]
Well, hello Miss. Bell.
How you feel?
Oh my God, I'm so sore.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I'm glad to be alive though.
We are as well.
Your vitals are well.
I'm gonna talk to the
doctor and get you some water.
[knocking on door]
Okay?
That's my girl.
Hey, Sophia.
Welcome back.
How you feeling?
I'm so sore.
John said that I've been out over a week.
Yeah, girl.
It was touch and go,
but you're stable now.
There she is.
Morning, Miss Bell.
Just gonna take a
second and check you out.
Real quick, okay?
Are you having any pain?
Any soreness?
Headache?
Feeling light headed at all?
No headaches, but I'm very sore.
Okay, well that's good
you're not having any headaches.
So the nurse did
inform me that your vitals
are looking good, but I
still wanna keep you here
for a few days for observation.
Okay, and in the
meantime, I'll get you some meds
for that soreness.
Okay.
Doc, can I eat?
Because I'm really hungry
and I'm extremely thirsty.
Well, for now, I just want
you to stick to ice chips,
okay?
But then we're gonna draw your blood
and then after that you can eat, okay?
Okay.
All right.
Hey girl.
Cam sends his love.
That's my boy.
Mm-hmm.
You know, I'm really lucky
to have friends like y'all.
Girl, we got you.
Mm-hmm.
Sophia, please tell me y'all got Renaldo.
No, we didn't, but Gina, don't worry.
You got 24 hour
security and we gonna get him.
You know, y'all need to find Miranda.
She the key.
She gonna lead y'all straight to him.
[sirens blaring]
[radio chattering]
They finally caught him.
Hmm.
And how did you feel when you found out?
I don't know.
Bittersweet, I guess.
I was glad that it was finally over,
but it was the start of something new.
I got this for you, you like it?
It's so cute.
All right, let me go ahead
and put this over here.
Thank you.
Sit this right here.
So how you feeling?
Pretty good, actually.
The nurse came here and told
me that I'm getting discharged.
Hey. Yay, won't he do in it?
You play too much.
[laughing]
Hey there.
Hey.
I heard someone is going home today.
I am.
We just left the courthouse.
Are you serious?
Yes, the arraignment was this morning.
Judge denied bail for both of them.
So what does that mean?
They will be held into trial
and that could take about a year.
Yeah, but trust me sis,
with all the evidence we got?
Not to mention the testimony of Miranda.
Girl, you're safe.
You're free to go sis.
You're safe to go home.
I don't wanna go back to that house.
I need to start new, something fresh.
I wanna deal with the
memories that come along with it.
You can stay with me.
I mean, you'll have
your own bathroom and bedroom,
of course, but Gina
I have plenty of space.
I couldn't put you off like that.
Wait, wait, wait, hold on now, hold on.
He does have a really good point.
His place is both safe and new.
Yeah.
Come on, Gina.
Keep me company.
Okay, but no funny business, Johnny.
(laughing) Okay, so we'll get your stuff
and we'll bring it over to John's house.
Can you call Cam for me and tell him
that I want him to list my house.
I'm gonna sell it.
I'm ready to just be
done with it, you know?
He can keep the commission.
Oh, you know, you gonna love that.
Mm-hmm.
You ready to go home Miss Bell?
I am.
So how was that?
Living with John?
It was peaceful for once.
You know, John was a hard worker.
He always treated me
so nice, so respectful.
He was good to me.
John, this is a really nice spot.
I'm glad you like it.
Well, tonight is a special night, right?
I mean it's a...
It's a year since your hospital release.
But it's six months of me dating,
a beautiful you.
It has been a year, haven't it?
Time is flying.
Yeah, especially when
times are good, right?
You know, I really wanna thank you
for being so patient with me.
Hey, hey, stop.
You don't have to thank me, Gina.
I do though.
See, these past six
months have been everything.
So refreshing.
After everything I been through. You know?
I appreciate that.
Love you, girl.
Welcome.
Can I get you two anything or take your
orders, if you ready?
Yeah, after the lady.
Umm. I'm gonna go with the salmon.
I want a side of green
beans and a glass of red wine.
Okay.
And, I'm a do the catfish
with the collard greens.
Grand Marnier. Neat.
Right away.
Wait, did I just hear
you say Grand Marnier?
Yeah, what you know about that?
Now you know that's my favorite brown.
Yeah, I know.
And I'm gonna drink all of it.
Mmm, okay go head.
Get drunk.
I don't care.
I'm not gonna do
nothing but take advantage
of you when we get home.
Shit, we could leave
right now, matter of fact.
Oh, nah, nah.
See, you not getting off that easy.
I'm eating good tonight, okay?
Plus, they got these cupcakes
that I heard are the bomb and I want them.
I'm a have to carry you
out of here tonight, huh?
Oh, well, you better
get your wheelbarrow ready
because I'm about to go in.
(laughing)
Was you in the bathroom
handling your business?
No, I wasn't.
Yes, you was,
because you was in
there for a little minute.
I can't even do that
in a public bathroom.
What you talking about?
I'm not mad at you if you do boo,
just as long as you wash your hands
before you come back out here.
Okay, all right, all right.
I did order those cupcakes
I was talking about for us, though.
Okay, cool, cool.
You sure?
You know I don't want you
running back to the bathroom.
Okay, Gina all right.
All right, okay.
John, what is this?
What is what?
What is that?
What you think it is?
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Baby I have loved you my entire life.
Ever since we were kids.
Will you marry me, baby?
Yes.
Yes.
(laughing)
Yes.
[door creaking]
[Television noise]
Hey.
How's it going?
Hey, my love.
Good to see you.
Take a step for a supper day.
All right. Take your time. Take your time.
Thank you.
Did you have fun with the crew today?
I actually did.
We end up having to take
out that Sophia's in spot.
Oh, okay.
You know she told me
that trial starts tomorrow.
Yeah.
You want me to take you down?
Mm-mm.
That's no longer a
part of my life anymore.
I don't wanna be
nowhere close to that place.
Okay.
And other than that.
Seems like you got
something on your mind.
Wanna talk about it?
Mmm.
Will you ever have something
in your past that haunts you?
Or did something that you regret?
Nah.
I don't have too many regrets.
No, I tend to hold you
back and tear you down.
And, that's easier said than done.
What you mean?
I have something in my past that
gives me nightmares all the time.
Your kidnappng?
No.
Actually, it was living with aunt.
Oh yeah.
Whatever happened to her?
She abused me.
And she let her boyfriend rape me.
What?
When they would get high.
Are you serious?
One day I just got so fed up,
I ended up putting poison in there chili,
and I just watched them die.
Baby.
Please don't judge me.
Oh, no, no, no, I could never judge you.
I got you, baby.
For life.
I love you, John.
I love you too, babe.
Just don't ever cook me no damn chili.
[laughing]
No chili.
No chili..
Life was so good with John.
He loved me so much.
Okay, so I noticed that you continued
to speak of John in the past tense.
Did that not work out?
[birds chirping]
[birds chirping]
[phone ringing]
Gina, thank goodness.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Have you seen the news?
No, I don't know.
It's all over the news.
Well, hello there, beautiful.
Gina, Gina.
Did you miss me?
What are you doing here, Renaldo?
What, you haven't heard?
It's all over the news.
The DA's opening and shut
case just got thrown out.
No witness.
See, my lawyer informed me that Miranda
was their saving grace.
So the cartel paid her
a visit late last night?
[laughing] No witness, no case.
What did you do to John?
So I'm sitting here in
front of you, a free man.
And all you could worry
about is this piece of shit.
John, John, baby, get up.
No, you're really hurting
my feelings right now, Gina.
I thought that you would
be happy to see me, baby.
Especially after all
that I've done for you.
Get out.
You know, you are alive because of me.
I was the one that sent that detective
bitch your location.
Don't you see?
I saved you.
I saved you for us.
So now we could be a family.
Get your fucking hands off her.
Or what?
Renaldo, please just leave.
Leave you alone.
So you really are choosing him over me.
Yes, can you please just leave us alone!
You know I can't do that, baby doll.
You belong to me.
Now go get your things and let's go.
Over my dead body.
Oh no, no, no, no.
Please, no, no, no.
No, no, no, please,
please, please, please.
No, no, no, no, no, no,
please, please, please.
[gun fires]
Oh no, no, no, no.
No.
No.
I'm so sorry.
Look at me.
No!
Remember this, you
always will belong to me.
No.
[crying] No, no, no, no.
I'm so sorry, John. No, no, no, no.
I'll be back for you.
No.
[crying] no!
Well Doc, that's my story.
And how do you feel now
that you've talked about it?
I feel pretty good.
You know it just feels good to release.
You know, just let it out.
Good.
Well, that's our time for now
and I'll see you back here in a month.
And next time we'll try
to dig a little bit deeper.
Okay.
Thank you, Doc.
This has been very helpful.
And I know that continued therapy
would be very good for me.
It will.
And I'll be sure of it.
Have a great day, Miss Bell.
[Music]
[Music] [Panting]
[Gun shot]
[Panting]
Therapy? Girl, this is crazy. You know
how you may go through a
traumatic experience in life?
And your primary care physician wants to
put you on medication like you crazy?
Well, mine didn't only prescribe me the
pills. He also prescribed the therapy
sessions to go with it.
[Music]
[Birds chirping]
Miss Bell, you can have a seat here. Dr.
Aziz will be with you shortly.
Okay.
Now, if you know me, you know that I'm a
very private person.
I won't want anybody knowing that I'm
here about to lay
down on some dusty couch.
To give some stranger the who, what,
when, how, and why I
did what I did in life.
Oh well, here we go.
Gina Bell?
Yes, I'm sorry, I'm Gina Bell.
It's okay. You can relax.
Whatever makes you more
comfortable. It's totally up to you.
Okay. Well, I think I'm just going to
stick to sitting up.
All right. So, I understand that you've
experienced a very traumatic event.
Yeah. Well, you came highly recommended
for my friend Detective Sophia Lorenz.
Yes.
Yeah, she said that you helped her
through a pretty rough time.
Yes. Just so you know,
this is a safe space.
Now, we'll begin with
a breathing exercise.
I want you to take three
deep breaths, in deep, out deep.
Then after the third, we'll begin.
Ready? Okay. That
started at the beginning.
Okay. 2017.
You got my bestie, Sophia. She's a
detective for the local PD.
A bit promiscuous, but we're not really
gonna get into that right now.
Then we have my fly queer bestie, Cameron.
Little, who's also my business partner.
Now, we all live busy lives, but we try
to get together at least once a month,
either for lunch or dinner.
This time in particular,
Cameron couldn't make it.
Hey, sis?
- Oh, hey, girl.
I'm so sorry I'm
late. I'm sorry I'm late.
I was dealing with David.
You mean the demon?
We're not gonna do that. Where's Cam?
Cam got a call from a new.
Zaddy, so he busy.
Okay, period.
I need me some of
what you drinking, though.
Hello, ladies. How are
you guys doing today?
How you doing?
I'd like to welcome you to the Nerd's
kitchen. Can I start you
off with something to drink?
I'm gonna have what she has. Okay. Okay.
And what would you like
to have for your meal?
I'm gonna do the salmon, and can I get
asparagus and potatoes as my side.
Okay. Will that be all for you today?
That's it. Thank you so much.
You're welcome. I'll be right back there
with everything. Okay.
Well, what's up with you sis? It's been a
minute since we sat down
and we had something to eat.
I know, girl.
What's tea?
So the captain just put me as lead at
this new crazy missing women case.
Really? Missing women?
Yes. Real high profile.
I'm a get briefed on it in the morning.
That's what's up.
Cheers.
Oh, my God,
girl. John, about to walk in here.
John, John. Your John? Girl, I think
you low key love that man.
You being messy.
Hey John.
Hey how y'all doing.
How are you?
Doing well. Doing well. I just got a
couple of properties in that area.
Nice.
- Not too big. How you doing?
How you doing?
Gina.
Huh?
John just
asked you a question.
I'm so sorry, John. What did you ask me?
Just asking you how you doing?
I'm good.
Real estate business going well?
It's going great, actually. I just
acquired some properties and,
I actually need a contractor
to come do some work for me.
Give me a call. We can set it up.
Well, it was good seeing y'all.
Good seeing you, John.
Mhmm.
Really.
What?
Girl, not you. Eye fucking that
man all the way out the door.
Girl, I...
You are pregnant now.
I am a happy woman in a relationship.
John is just a friend.
You in a relationship minus the happy part.
David. Who was he?
He was my boyfriend.
What happened?
It didn't work out.
He was controlling. And abusive.
Hey, babe.
What did I ask you to do today?
Oh, I'm so sorry. I
forgot all about that.
My day was long.
You had one simple thing to do.
And you forgot.
I had all these contracts
that I had to work on.
Then it was this crazy lady at the title
office. She didn't make it no better.
You just love to piss me off. Don't you?
David. I'm so sorry.
[Slap!] [Scream]
Shut the fuck up.
You talk when I tell you you can talk.
I told you to transfer $75,000 by 2 p.m.
Now my business is delayed
because you're a stupid ass forgot.
Getcho ass up.
No, no.
[Slap] [Panting]
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
You lil bitch.
[Punch] [Scream]
[Chuckling]
Please, Jake.
No. No, please.
Please, no David.
Please, David.
No.
No.
[Screams]
[Screams] [Crying]
No. Please.
He really beat me bad that night.
Why didn't you contact the police or get
the restraining order?
I guess because David
wasn't always so bad.
He did have a soft side.
Good morning, baby.
Wakey, wakey.
Hey, beautiful.
Come on, get up.
Made some breakfast for you.
You can eat, shower, get ready for the day.
Hey, we gonna have a
lovely day. I'll see you later.
Oh, transfer that money.
Love you.
[Screams]
And how was the rest of that day?
I ate, took a shower, put on some
comfortable clothes.
[Phone buzzing]
Hello?
Grand rising, Diva.
I know you better be getting
ready to go show that property.
Cam it's a very important client today.
Girl, that's why I'm calling you.
I had to handle this
important thing this morning.
Oh my God, Cam.
I do not feel good this morning.
You can't cancel
whatever it is you got going on.
I'm sorry, boss lady, but I won't be in
the office until 1 p.m.
I'll send over the comps and client info.
You know what? You're going to
owe me big time for this one.
Don't I always come through?
Send over the comps.
Who am I meeting with again?
Miranda Casper.
Alright, I got you.
Well, that was nice of you to allow your
subordinate to take the day off
to handle a personal emergency.
Hmm. It was personal, all right.
Oh, that kind of emergency.
I already knew it.
But hey, every girl needs a late morning
every now and again, you know.
Understood.
If Cam had came to work that day,
I probably wouldn't even be sitting on
the couch talking to you.
Why is that?
Because that was the day my life, my
world changed forever.
[Music]
Oh, wow.
This is gorgeous.
[Knock on door]
[door creaks]
[birds chirping]
May I help you?
I'm here to see the property.
I'm sorry. This property is only to be
seen by appointment only.
Yes, I'm Ronaldo Vega.
I believe you spoke to my
assistant, Miranda Casper.
Oh, yeah, Miranda. Okay.
Yeah, I hope that's okay, but she
suggested that I came and saw the
property for myself.
[Music]
For you?
Thank you.
Come in.
So, um, are you new to this area?
I am.
I moved around a bit in
the past due to business,
but now I'm looking to settle in.
Wow.
That's got to be hard on your wife and
kids moving around so much.
I'm not married, nor do I have children.
Well, can I ask what it is that you do to
have you moving around so much?
I manage investments for
a very elite clientele.
Hmm.
Not to mention I own some real estate in
a few other countries.
Wow. That's impressive.
I'm told that you are one of the top
brokers in the city, Ms. Gina,
but they failed to mention how
breathtaking you are.
Well, thank you, sir.
So, shall we start
this tour of the property?
After you?
So, now that I've seen the
property, I really do like it.
And I would love to
make an offer on it, but...
But it's a bit too pricey, right?
Oh, no. Of course not.
I would love to make an offer on it, but
I would need you to do
something for me first.
Anything.
I mean...
I'm sorry.
What do you need me to do?
The other property that
Miranda told you about.
The one in the Villa Estates.
I want to acquire that one as well.
Okay. Well, we can make that happen.
Um, that's not a problem.
Let me pull that
information up on my tablet,
and you take a look,
and we can go from there.
Sounds good.
Take a look and tell me what you think.
That's the one.
All right. Well, let's make it happen.
[Music]
You know, I could see myself cooking
Sunday dinner in this kitchen.
It's beautiful.
Yes, I can see that as well.
Um, question.
What's your favorite food?
Um...
Spicy chicken and shrimp pasta with
butter garlic bread.
But I'm a sucker for a
home cooked breakfast as well.
Okay. You know what?
My chef makes an amazing spicy pasta.
I mean, if you like, I can have him
prepare a serving. Just for you.
Just for me?
Of course.
Whatever you want.
Um...
Okay.
[Birds chirping]
This is beautiful.
So, Mr. Renaldo.
Yes.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Um...
Sharing life with the woman of my dreams.
Traveling the world and living...
I'm sorry.
I apologize if I'm being too direct.
It's fine.
It's just that I'm...
I'm in a relationship, and...
I think it's best if we
just keep things professional.
A relationship?
Really?
Are you happy?
I'm very happy.
But do you have joy?
The freedom...
The security to live and get the best
that life has to offer?
Gina.
You should embrace life,
and enjoying it with
its unlimited privilege.
[Birds chirping] [Music]
Now let me ask you...
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Winning.
[typing]
[Phone ringing]
Well, good day.
Hey, boo.
Okay, let's have it.
This Miss Miranda buying or faking?
She's buying.
I just sent you over two cash offers.
I'm gonna need you to send them straight
over to the seller agents, okay?
Uh, wait. Okay, okay, okay.
Hold on.
I got it.
Gina.
Am I looking at a 2.5 million?
Yes. That's crazy, right?
Man, yeah.
I know.
So I'm about to get ready to
go get my gown for tonight.
I'm gonna call you back, okay?
Exciting times.
Nothing like new money.
Look, I gotta admit it.
A commission like that, it
does add value to your swag.
How so?
Nothing material.
It's like...
It gave me confidence.
You know?
Independence.
Purpose for a strong black woman.
Hey, babe.
Can you hand me my earrings
from over there by the TV?
Sure, baby.
Here ya go.
Thank you.
You look beautiful, baby.
Thank you, my love.
Of course, you know I have to.
Standing next to my handsome man.
[chuckles]
You ready for the evening?
Mm-hmm.
I think it's gonna be a good night.
Yeah.
Give me one second.
Hey, babe.
You know, I still need that money for the
investment I was telling you about.
You know, you never told me exactly what
that investment was about.
What do you mean, what it's for?
It's none of your damn business.
I mean, it is my business if you're
spending my money to do it.
You do what I tell you to do.
Where you goin.
[Slap] What's wrong with you?
[grunting]
Get off me!
[grunting]
Don't you ever put your
fucking hands on me again.
If you do, I swear to God I'll kill you.
I want you to get your shit and get the
fuck out of my house.
[grunting]
Damn it.
Fuckin' bitch.
[grunting]
Oh, fuck.
Ugh..
[grunting]
[music playing]
[music playing]
Thank you.
Gina Bell.
Ooh, that dress looks stunning on you.
You are gonna turn some
heads tonight, young lady.
Thank you.
Ah. Miranda, dear. I was supposed
to meet you at the showings,
but Renaldo insisted he meet you himself.
Oh, okay. Well, in that
case, everything went great.
They accepted both offers.
I'm just going to need him to come in
tomorrow to sign some
paper work if that's, okay?
That will be amazing. I
will definitely let him know.
Okay. I mean, well...
Is Renaldo here?
Yeah, he will be at some point.
Okay.
But for now, let me introduce you to some
very in fluent people. Come on.
Okay.
[music playing]
Definitely recommend.
Thank you.
- Would you
excuse me for a moment?
Of course.
Attention, distinguished guests.
I'd like to welcome you to The Caucus and
introduce you to tonight's host,
Renaldo Vega.
[Cheers]
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
I'd like to thank you
all for coming out tonight.
Please feel free to eat, drink, and enjoy
every pleasure that tonight has to offer.
[cheers] [music playing]
[door creaks]
[moans]
[music playing]
Gina.
Shh.
Do you like what you see?
What do you mean?
Do you like what you see?
Yes.
You do like that?
Yes.
What about David?
It's over.
[music playing]
[birds chirping]
[music playing]
[phone ringing]
Hello.
Gina?
Yes, this is her.
Hello Gina, this is Sarah from the bank.
Hey girl, what's up?
David came in this morning and said you
were in the hospital. How are you doing?
Wait, what?
Yes, he came in and made a huge
withdrawal. You said you both were
opening a new business adventure.
Hold on, wait. How is that possible he
doesn't even have an
account with you guys?
We received an online authorization from
you last night to make
him an authorized user.
I didn't authorize anything.
Wait, how much did he withdraw?
All funds from both accounts. Wait, you
didn't authorize this?
No, wait. Is there any way
that we can stop this check?
He withdrew cash.
Oh my god.
What?
David?
David!
David!
What?
[phone chimes]
Fuck.
He was so hurt that David did that to me.
He stole every damn dime that I had.
But then I remembered.
I had a multi-million
dollar closing to get to.
[phone chimes]
[birds chirping]
[phone ringing]
Vega.
Yes, everything is going
exactly the way we planned it.
[ominous music.
Ship the girls to Cuba.
(birds chirping)
The captain.
His money will be delivered at the pier.
In fact, my associate
just arrived with the cash.
Okay, good.
Right on time, my friend.
(birds chirping)
Wait, so your boyfriend, at the time,
stole your money and...
Yep, and that's not even the half of it.
Hey, boo.
- Hey, hey.
One iced mocha cappuccino.
Thank you, my love, thank you.
You didn't get anything?
You know I don't drink
coffee in the afternoon.
Listen suit yourself,
just like my medicine.
Yeah, where the boss lady.
Umm.
[phone chimes]
She should be here in a few.
I know she honestly
been a little bit MIA, so.
Hey, Cam, I got a run.
I just got a message about a woman
missing from some mansion party.
Do you?
Go ahead.
The queen has arrived finally.
Awe.
Hey girl. Aye I got a run, but ummm.
I got a run
I'm following up on
a lead, but you good?
I've had a morning, but
we'll talk about it later.
You go ahead, you be safe out there.
All right, you too, boo.
All right.
See you, boo, thank you for the coffee.
Hi.
We're gonna have you
have a seat right here.
[suspense music]
(birds chirping)
All right, and I just need your last.
Signature and the
two certified payments, and we're all do.
Hands cramping.
[chuckling] Thought it would never end.
So what was the significance of the flyer?
Well, that venue was a
part of the investigation
that she was leading.
So the closing was complete.
Did you and Cameron go and celebrate?
Nope.
I had other plans.
Pleasure.
Case closed.
Renaldo will be so thrilled.
Everything went so smooth.
I am so happy that
everything went well today.
Oh, Before I forget.
He want me to give you this.
Don't be late.
Okay.
Bitch, David gone lose his mind.
And who was Renaldo?
I don't deal with David no more.
Yeah, right.
Wait, you serious?
Yes.
He literally moved out
today and changed his number.
So my girl finally free?
Yes, finally free to do me, okay.
Um-hmm, now answer this question.
Who is Renaldo?
And why he got your nose so wide open?
See, you in my business, don't do that.
This is my business.
The tea is hot and I know you got money.
Now, what makes you think he got money?
Please.
If you can drop 2.5
million on two properties
just like that, that's like
a Tyler Perry bag, come on.
All right, Cam Cam.
You dirty bitch.
I love you.
You did a good job today.
Be safe, boo.
Let's see.
Who this.
Million.
Dollar.
Man is..
Gotcha.
[birds chirping]
[birds chirping] [music playing]
[music playing] [door
creaks] [birds chirping]
[birds chirping]
Good evening, beautiful.
You look good.
Thank you.
[wine pouring]
I gotta admit, you were right.
Your chef made an amazing spicy pasta.
See, I told you, right?
You did.
[laughing]
I asked him to prepare for you,
especially for this occasion.
So I'm just glad you enjoyed it.
It's amazing food, this beautiful house.
Thank you.
You know something?
This is actually my home away from home.
Wait, so if this isn't
home, then where is it?
I have a log cabin up in the mountains.
I call it my secret hideaway.
It was a part of a cash
acquisition a few years ago.
Totally off grid.
Off grid, huh?
Of course.
You know, sometimes you
have to, as they say, escape.
I feel that.
[crickets chirping]
This is really nice.
I don't understand why you
would keep buying properties
when you can just live here.
Because buying properties
is what I enjoy doing.
So, I guess you can say I have a
deep love for acquiring beautiful things.
Well.
I enjoy what I do to.
It's cool.
Toast to that.
So what made you choose
real estate in the first place?
Honestly, growing up
in the hood was dismal.
I would get on my bike
and ride through the most
beautiful neighborhoods and
look at the beautiful homes.
And that's when I knew this was for me.
That's very inspiring.
Don't get me wrong, now.
It was tough at first.
But I worked my ass off
to get to where I am now.
Want some more?
Mm-hmm.
[wine pouring.
Thank you.
Well, I have a question.
What exactly happened
between you and your fiance?
Oh no.
I don't want to ruin this
amazing night talking about him.
Well, just indulge me a moment.
Never to discuss again.
I promise.
Okay, well, he abused me.
Mentally and physically.
He also stole $290,000 out of my account.
And that was all I had.
Damn.
Look, Gina.
No.
You don't have to do that.
It's okay, you don't have
to pretend like you care.
One minute.
Look, you don't have to be strong.
I'd be strong for you.
What is this?
It's $300,000.
To replace what was stolen.
You would do this for me?
And so much more.
Look, I don't understand.
Why are you doing all of this?
Because you deserve it.
[music playing] [crickets chirping]
New love.
Sounds like things
were beginning to look up.
Yeah.
It got real fun for a while.
[music playing] [birds chirping]
Awe, baby.
Morning, beautiful.
Good morning.
(car engine revving)
Go have a seat,
everything is just about ready.
Okay.
I got everything.
Did you sleep good?
(birds chirping)
Mm-hmm.
This is really good.
I didn't know you could cook like this.
You never asked, did you?
I'm starting to think,
what else is it about
you that I don't know yet?
Now, you know it is all right for me
to keep you in suspense
about some things, right?
No, just so you don't get bored of me
and probably run off with another man.
Oh, see, that'll never happen,
because you're stuck with me now.
Oh, yeah?
Mm-hmm.
[phone buzzing]
One second.
(phone buzzing)
Hello?
This is he.
Ah, so it has arrived.
Yeah.
All right, that sounds good.
All right, bye.
I gotta run, baby.
You go ahead.
Handle your business. I'll
clean all this up.
Okay.
[music playing]
Happy birthday, baby doll.
Thank you.
Are you serious?
Oh my God, I can't believe you did this.
Look.
Oh my God, it's so
pretty, thank you, baby.
Mm-mm.
(laughing)
Oh my God, I can't believe it.
I owe you.
What you owe me?
Let me show you what I owe you.
Mm-hmm.
[kissing]
Happy birthday, baby.
Shit.
You okay, doc?
Yes, yes.
Please, continue.
[phone buzzing]
Hey, Sophia.
Hey, Cam.
How's those
mean streets treating my girl.
Child, I'm sitting on the location now,
but other than that, I'm good.
Good, good, okay.
So, how was the hot date last night?
Mm-hmm, grown and sexy.
Can't believe how gorgeous she is.
Wait, she?
I thought you was out with the guy Tommy.
And that was in the afternoon.
He was lunch and she's dinner.
Best of both worlds.
That's a little confusing,
but hey, you gotta pick a side.
Baby, I am a free agent, okay?
Sometimes I like nuts, sometimes I don't.
[laughing]
Hell.
I ain't hating, but everybody can't have
a perfect love life like Gina.
Oh, like her and David are so perfect.
[laughing]
David?
What you you must not know.
Know what?
Child, David has no more.
Gina got fed up and told him to move out.
Ooh, she didn't even tell me.
You left peacefully, right?
Mm-hmm, right after he
stole all her coins.
No, he didn't.
He damn sure did.
What happened?
Child, the bank manager called her
and had some sort of
access to her accounts
and transferred everything.
Damn it, Gina.
Bounced the bank on they ass, the
manager had to call and everything.
Fuckin' David.
Man, I got a check on her.
Oh, she good now, though.
Especially with her new
man cutting a stimulus check.
I wonder why she
ain't tell me about no new man?
Child, a while ago, he was a client
on a two-property deal
that was worth $2.5 million.
But, um she comin', so I'm a
have to call you back.
Let me chop it up wit my girl real quick.
Oh, okay.
[laughing]
Must be nice to have
your cake and eat it, too.
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
No, ain't no hate, partner.
Do you.
I mean, for real, like, I want the family
and all that, right, you know?
I hear a but.
But then, I see all the
shit choices that's out here,
and I'm like, "I'm good, I'm good."
Look, give it a chance, partner.
Mr. Right's gonna
come along and sweep you
right off your feet.
Mr.
At this rate, I wouldn't be mad
if a miss came through with a broom.
[laughing]
Wait, wait, wait, so you're
into the bisexual thing now?
For now.
(people chattering)
She in there?
Yeah.
Where Mark?
He around.
He around?
Yeah.
Let me holla at you, man.
(birds chirping)
Oh shit, is that?
So what happened?
Food run.
When I came back, she
was trying to escape.
Look, man, we gotta get out of here.
It's time for a new city.
We leave when I say we leave.
Look, we just need to make sure
that we make this delivery.
One time.
All right, what about Gina?
It's the time we turn her over.
You know, they'll pay big money for her.
That is still the plan, right?
Oh you getting soft?
Nigga, ain't nobody getting soft.
Yeah, that's still the plan.
Just been handling other
business things, that's it.
Okay, no problem.
I'll grab her.
I can have her on a boat
and in Mexico by tonight.
You know, Luise will pay top.
Nigga, if you ever touch her again,
I feed you the hand
that you touched her with,
and blow your motherfucking head off.
Understand?
(people chattering)
So, you...
Yep, my ex-boyfriend was
working for my new love.
Hmm, and it gets better.
[phone buzzing]
Girl, you must be missing me.
Hey, Cam, I need you to listen.
We are watching David and some other dude
leave a location I
have under surveillance.
You think David got
something to do with your case?
I don't know yet.
Baby, the Queen's new
king just bought her
a brand new car for her birthday.
Can't believe she hadn't
told me about this dude.
Cuz you a hoe.
I don't want her man.
Is he cute?
Bitch, I haven't seen him.
But he got her ass wide open.
Investigate fool, she
gotta have some pics
on her phone or something.
Now that's real scandalous.
I'm a detective.
Get some intel, we need to
know about this mystery man.
She actually just
left her phone right here
and she went to the bathroom.
Sent it.
What you doing?
Hey, nothing is going
over, new contracts.
The usual.
- Give me one.
Take that one.
Mm-hmm.
[suspense music]
Dispatch, I need a backup unit
to assist at the warehouse district.
Go.
(birds chirping)
Ready?
All right, right on your back.
Yo, hold it down, I'm
about to take a piss.
Surprise, don't you fucking move.
Who else is in here?
It's us and the girl.
Detective Jones, can you go check out
the rest of the building?
Yeah, I got you.
What girl, where?
In the closet.
Got us another one.
Fuck.
Put your hands
behind your fucking back.
[handcuffs clacking]
Wait, wait a minute.
We got here.
Let's go.
Ma'am, are you okay?
Can you tell me your name?
Can we get a medic in here?
Ma'am, it's okay, I
got you, I got you, okay?
Stay with me, I got you.
Oh, wow.
So David, your ex-boyfriend.
Mm-hmm, and that ain't even a half of it.
Sophia, hey, beautiful, what a surprise.
Girl.. I know, I just had to
come see you, stranger.
Can I come in?
Yes girl come in. Come on.
- Okay.
Damn girl, this is nice.
I ain't know real estate
was paying like this.
Thank you, and I know, right girl,
business has been booming
these past couple of months.
Mm-hmm.
Come on, come sit down have a
seat, come talk to me.
Hey, so you need anything?
Water bottle, wine.
Nah, girl, I'm good.
What's up, sis?
Haven't talked to you in a while.
Yeah, I know, this case has
been keeping me pretty busy.
Any leads?
Actually, when's the last
time you talked to David?
David?
No.
See, we haven't talked in a while,
so I wasn't able to tell you that
me and David are no longer together.
Yeah, I know.
I also know he stole over a quarter
million dollars from you.
Who told you that, Cam?
Yeah, I'm just wondering
why you didn't tell me.
I'm sorry, Sophia, I
just been so busy with work.
Plus, you know what?
David can have it.
Girl, what?
Like, you always let David slide.
All the stuff he's done to
you over all of these years.
Is he blackmailing you?
What... No, David's just...
Yeah, David is our lead suspect right now.
And I need to protect you, so
you gotta give me something.
Wait, what?
How?
Girl, we saw David leave in a location
we have under surveillance.
We found one of the
missing women in there
chained to a pole.
What?
Yeah, we arrested two
guys, and after I leave here,
I'm going down there to question them.
I mean, well, Sophia, I
don't know what to tell you
because I don't know anything about that.
Maybe you know
something and you don't realize
you know something.
Or maybe you the silent partner.
What?
Wait, hold on, why would
you even think something
like that of me?
Really?
Maybe you the money behind all of it.
Sophia, come on now.
You out of all people
know me better than anybody.
I wouldn't hurt a fly.
Are you okay?
It's just a lot, you know?
Okay.
So how about we break for today
and then we come back next week?
No.
Can we, can we just continue, please?
I really wanna get this out.
Sure.
[ominous music]
I was abused as a child.
My aunt and her boyfriend
would get high off heroin.
And then she let him rape me.
Ahh.
This went on for a few years.
One day, I found her heroin stash
and I mixed it with rat poison.
Who's stashed?
My aunt's.
I see.
I mixed it in with her favorite chili.
Did you ever confess
that you had confessed
this to the authorities?
No.
David was the only one
who knew all of those years.
I did finally tell Sophia.
Okay.
And how did she receive it?
I mean, that's the reason
why I never said anything
about all the things that David did.
Because I was scared that
he'd go to the police on me.
Gina, you know I got you, right?
I promise that won't happen.
So this other thing, it's not you, right?
No, no, I promise you.
I don't have anything to do with that.
I don't even know what
that's all about, honestly.
Okay.
Good.
Let me get back on down to the station.
Oh girl, Cam told me you got a new boo
and you in love...
I do.
Where is he?
Is he around somewhere?
Actually, he's not.
He's away on business,
but I am supposed to be
meeting up with him in a couple of days.
That's not too bad.
I guess I'll meet him
sooner or later. You know?
Yeah.
Yeah, but listen, listen, listen.
I always got your back, no matter what.
You be careful.
Okay.
I love you, girl.
I love you, too.
[birds chirping] [music playing]
Alright.
Mark.
Cabrera.
Hello.
Kidnapping women.
Renting mansions, throwing yatch
parties, and buying warehouses.
Exactly how does all this work?
I don't know what y'all talking about.
You don't know.
You know something, Mr. Cabrera.
No, I don't.
So how is it you're in the same place
with a woman who's bound in a closet?
With the keys to her
cuffs in your pocket.
Well, they ain't my keys?
It's not what your partner said.
He's about to be
released because he got smart.
If he talk, he ain't smart.
He dead.
You think that, but he and his family
want a way to witness
protection as we speak.
Same deal as waiting,
waiting just for you.
I ain't telling you nothing, bitch.
Okay.
Whose address is that?
And is this your wife, Sheila?
Your son Antonio and your daughter Marcy?
What are you doin' with my family?
We're sending them back
to the Dominican Republic.
And now everybody's
gonna know you're a rat.
They'll be dead in a few hours.
All right, wait, wait.
Wait, they gonna kill my family.
I'll tell y'all what you need to know.
Okay.
- They're gonna kill my family.
Fuck.
Okay.
I'll tell you
everything you need to know.
But we get protection, right?
If you tell us who you work for,
and how the operation works.
Caucus Cartel.
Never heard of them.
Exactly.
See, they move the operation quietly.
They control everything,
North America, South America,
Europe, they move
women, megatons of drugs,
coke, dope, et cetera all that.
So who wants operation here?
Stay focused, Mark.
Help us help you.
Vega, man.
Vega.
Vega.
You got a last name?
All I know is Vega.
I know he run everything in the US.
You get him you'll bring everything down.
And what about David?
Who's David?
But listen.
Still time to save them.
Save who?
Oh.
Oh, y'all don't know.
Know what?
What about my deal?
We got you.
Nah, fuck that, no deal.
He holding out on us.
Lorenz, hold up, hold up.
Save who?
(sirens blaring)
[police chatter]
Lorenz, you gotta see this.
Oh my God.
Hey, did we get those
phones off of Mark and Shake?
Yeah, we got them
tagged early in the car, why?
Let's just make sure we keep them close
in case any calls come through.
Sophia. You good?
Gina.
Gina?
I'll tell you in the car, come on.
[phone ringing]
Vega.
Hey, boss.
Sorry to bother you, but we
got a problem at the warehouse.
What problem?
[engine rumbling]
[car door slamming]
[phone ringing]
What the hell happened at the warehouse?
I could tell you what
didn't happen in that warehouse.
And who do I have the
pleasure of speaking to?
Detective Sophia Lorenz.
It's obvious you have no idea
who you are dealing with, sweetheart.
Gerald Manuel.
Ex-Hitman.
Coward and now human trafficker?
Or should I call you Renaldo?
You really think
you're saving those women?
Listen to me, we'll just get 50 more
and have them shipped
out in less than 48 hours.
You sick bastard.
What kind of real man gets
a kick out of hurting women?
You'll soon find out.
Ta-ta.
He knows we're on his tail now.
So Gina's in love with the devil.
Yep, she don't even know it.
[knocking on door]
Hmm.
[phone ringing]
I was just about to call you girl.
Have you spoken to Gina?
Why, what's wrong?
We just found out that Renaldo
is behind all of these missing women
and David is working with him somehow.
The demon?
Yes.
The demon works for the devil.
We gotta save her.
Where's she headed?
I don't have an exact location.
Okay, stay by your phone.
So, what's the next move?
We track her phone
that'll lead us to him.
We'll be able to save her.
Wait, you think he knows
that you and her are friends?
No, of course not.
Hell, I just found out about him.
But just in case, we need to get to her
and get to her fast.
Come on.
I was so excited.
A nice little getaway
with the man in my dreams.
So I thought.
[music playing]
Gina wait a minute.
Damn.
What's the problem?
What's the problem?
So that's what you're doing now?
Just calm down, all right?
Let me get you a drink.
I'll explain everything.
Good.
Come on, stop
acting like you didn't know
that this is what the caucus is.
What do you mean, acting
like I didn't know what it was?
So do you remember the gala that night?
You saw it firsthand, while you
were peeping through doors?
No, you told me that you were into
investments, remember?
Importing and exporting
for high-end clientele.
I do.
Look, I manage money laundering
and human trafficking for the cartel.
It's $800 billion business, baby.
What?
Look.
I launder money through various
businesses as a front.
Businesses like your real estate firm.
No, you didn't do that.
Why do you think you even got
an invitation to the party that night.
David put us on to you
a long time ago, Gina.
We just needed your business.
This has been a setup
since the beginning, Gina.
So you were just
using me this entire time?
I thought you loved me.
I do love you.
In fact, I love all the
women who make me money.
But, you my love.
You are special.
Yeah.
They're gonna love you.
Nice.
Normal fee?
Hell no.
Triple for this one.
Done.
Have fun.
Oh I will.
[birds chirping]
[door creaking]
[phone vibrates]
Hey, Gina.
Are you okay?
If you can just tell me where you are,
we'll come and get you.
Renaldo?
Gina isn't available at the moment.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Beep.
[chuckles]
Oh, you think this is funny?
Where is Gina?
I told you.
She can't come to the phone right now.
Let her go, you sick son of a bitch.
Oh, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Especially not now.
See, Gina has to be
punished for what she did.
If you hurt her, I swear.
(phone disconnect)
Shut up, bitch.
Did we get it?
No, he hung up to fast.
I did get a ping from the
nearest cell phone tower.
How far from here?
15 minutes or so.
Okay, can we get over there and get some
assistance from the local PD?
I'm on it.
[phone ringing]
Cam, do you and Gina have that cell phone
locator feature on the business phones?
Okay, good. I need you
to do a search for Gina.
We are in the vicinity with the sheriff
and we need her location.
Okay, hurry, hurry, hurry.
[static sound]
[screams]
Help please!
No, please stop!
[screams]
[screams]
No wait.
Please! Please! Please, no!
[screams]
Please!
Please! No more, no more.
Listen to me.
Let me go.
Listen to me.
Please, no.
Listen, this can all be over.
Just tell me what you told the cop.
I didn't tell them anything.
This is not gonna be good for you.
If you keep lying to me.
I didn't tell them anything.
I didn't tell anything
about you Renaldo.
Gina..
You're not cooperating.
Renaldo baby.
Please.
I didn't tell anybody.
Anything.
I swear, please, let me go.
No!
No more! No more!
No, more!
Hey, get to the yacht to secure the
drivers and the cash.
I'll meet you there in a few hours.
Looks like we're going to have to shut
the operation down for a little while.
I can't do this anymore, Renaldo.
Listen, I don't need your
shit right now, big sister.
And always talking about getting out.
I mean it this time.
This shit has gone on too far.
And now the feds is involved.
I'm a fucking detective.
No, you are a spoiled ass little bitch.
And Louise was right about you.
It's fucking worthless.
Worthless?
Fuck Louise.
After all the shit I done done for you
guys, cover for you?
For the cartel, Sophia.
The family.
I'm done.
If I catch you, I'm taking you down.
And risk going down yourself.
I think not.
Yeah.
If it means you're coming down with me,
and I'm not going to let
you hurt another woman.
Especially not my friend.
Lorenz, you good?
Lorenz.
Lorenz.
You good?
Oh yeah.
We gotta get this guy.
No doubt.
Any luck on the address?
Waiting for Cam to
call me back right now.
Hey, detective.
Everybody's on standby.
As soon as we get the
location, we're ready to roll.
All right.
Thanks, Sheriff.
[phone ringing]
Hey Cam.
Sophia.
I found the location?
Nineteen Fisher Lane.
Okay.
Thank you, boo.
Sheriff.
Hey.
Nineteen Fisher Lane.
Okay, let's roll.
We are coming.
Come on, Sophia.
Let's go.
Come on, let's go.
No, get off me. Please
stop. No! No, get off me.
Get off me, no! No please. No stop!
Don't touch me. Let me go.
Get off of me.
Get off me!
What the fuck you doing, man?
[gun shot]
[crying] [panting]
It wasn't suppose to be like this.
But, I have to go for now.
I'll love you always, my Gina.
[crying] [panting]
[phone ringing] [panting]
[suspense music]
[phone chimes]
Detective, we found her.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina.
Hey, let's get the medic in here now, now!
Someone get some help!
Oh my God, no, no, Gina!
Gina!
(crying)
Rescued.
I thought I was gonna die.
But you didn't?
And that's all that matters.
That's true.
But being around friends who
love me, that was a relief.
Even Sophia?
Well, at the time, I didn't know.
But yeah.
[somber music]
[music playing]
John.
Hey you.
Welcome back.
How long was I out?
About a, week and a half or so.
Oh my God.
[clears throat]
I need some water.
All right, hold on, let me
go get the nurse, okay?
Mmm.
[groaning]
Well, hello Miss. Bell.
How you feel?
Oh my God, I'm so sore.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I'm glad to be alive though.
We are as well.
Your vitals are well.
I'm gonna talk to the
doctor and get you some water.
[knocking on door]
Okay?
That's my girl.
Hey, Sophia.
Welcome back.
How you feeling?
I'm so sore.
John said that I've been out over a week.
Yeah, girl.
It was touch and go,
but you're stable now.
There she is.
Morning, Miss Bell.
Just gonna take a
second and check you out.
Real quick, okay?
Are you having any pain?
Any soreness?
Headache?
Feeling light headed at all?
No headaches, but I'm very sore.
Okay, well that's good
you're not having any headaches.
So the nurse did
inform me that your vitals
are looking good, but I
still wanna keep you here
for a few days for observation.
Okay, and in the
meantime, I'll get you some meds
for that soreness.
Okay.
Doc, can I eat?
Because I'm really hungry
and I'm extremely thirsty.
Well, for now, I just want
you to stick to ice chips,
okay?
But then we're gonna draw your blood
and then after that you can eat, okay?
Okay.
All right.
Hey girl.
Cam sends his love.
That's my boy.
Mm-hmm.
You know, I'm really lucky
to have friends like y'all.
Girl, we got you.
Mm-hmm.
Sophia, please tell me y'all got Renaldo.
No, we didn't, but Gina, don't worry.
You got 24 hour
security and we gonna get him.
You know, y'all need to find Miranda.
She the key.
She gonna lead y'all straight to him.
[sirens blaring]
[radio chattering]
They finally caught him.
Hmm.
And how did you feel when you found out?
I don't know.
Bittersweet, I guess.
I was glad that it was finally over,
but it was the start of something new.
I got this for you, you like it?
It's so cute.
All right, let me go ahead
and put this over here.
Thank you.
Sit this right here.
So how you feeling?
Pretty good, actually.
The nurse came here and told
me that I'm getting discharged.
Hey. Yay, won't he do in it?
You play too much.
[laughing]
Hey there.
Hey.
I heard someone is going home today.
I am.
We just left the courthouse.
Are you serious?
Yes, the arraignment was this morning.
Judge denied bail for both of them.
So what does that mean?
They will be held into trial
and that could take about a year.
Yeah, but trust me sis,
with all the evidence we got?
Not to mention the testimony of Miranda.
Girl, you're safe.
You're free to go sis.
You're safe to go home.
I don't wanna go back to that house.
I need to start new, something fresh.
I wanna deal with the
memories that come along with it.
You can stay with me.
I mean, you'll have
your own bathroom and bedroom,
of course, but Gina
I have plenty of space.
I couldn't put you off like that.
Wait, wait, wait, hold on now, hold on.
He does have a really good point.
His place is both safe and new.
Yeah.
Come on, Gina.
Keep me company.
Okay, but no funny business, Johnny.
(laughing) Okay, so we'll get your stuff
and we'll bring it over to John's house.
Can you call Cam for me and tell him
that I want him to list my house.
I'm gonna sell it.
I'm ready to just be
done with it, you know?
He can keep the commission.
Oh, you know, you gonna love that.
Mm-hmm.
You ready to go home Miss Bell?
I am.
So how was that?
Living with John?
It was peaceful for once.
You know, John was a hard worker.
He always treated me
so nice, so respectful.
He was good to me.
John, this is a really nice spot.
I'm glad you like it.
Well, tonight is a special night, right?
I mean it's a...
It's a year since your hospital release.
But it's six months of me dating,
a beautiful you.
It has been a year, haven't it?
Time is flying.
Yeah, especially when
times are good, right?
You know, I really wanna thank you
for being so patient with me.
Hey, hey, stop.
You don't have to thank me, Gina.
I do though.
See, these past six
months have been everything.
So refreshing.
After everything I been through. You know?
I appreciate that.
Love you, girl.
Welcome.
Can I get you two anything or take your
orders, if you ready?
Yeah, after the lady.
Umm. I'm gonna go with the salmon.
I want a side of green
beans and a glass of red wine.
Okay.
And, I'm a do the catfish
with the collard greens.
Grand Marnier. Neat.
Right away.
Wait, did I just hear
you say Grand Marnier?
Yeah, what you know about that?
Now you know that's my favorite brown.
Yeah, I know.
And I'm gonna drink all of it.
Mmm, okay go head.
Get drunk.
I don't care.
I'm not gonna do
nothing but take advantage
of you when we get home.
Shit, we could leave
right now, matter of fact.
Oh, nah, nah.
See, you not getting off that easy.
I'm eating good tonight, okay?
Plus, they got these cupcakes
that I heard are the bomb and I want them.
I'm a have to carry you
out of here tonight, huh?
Oh, well, you better
get your wheelbarrow ready
because I'm about to go in.
(laughing)
Was you in the bathroom
handling your business?
No, I wasn't.
Yes, you was,
because you was in
there for a little minute.
I can't even do that
in a public bathroom.
What you talking about?
I'm not mad at you if you do boo,
just as long as you wash your hands
before you come back out here.
Okay, all right, all right.
I did order those cupcakes
I was talking about for us, though.
Okay, cool, cool.
You sure?
You know I don't want you
running back to the bathroom.
Okay, Gina all right.
All right, okay.
John, what is this?
What is what?
What is that?
What you think it is?
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Baby I have loved you my entire life.
Ever since we were kids.
Will you marry me, baby?
Yes.
Yes.
(laughing)
Yes.
[door creaking]
[Television noise]
Hey.
How's it going?
Hey, my love.
Good to see you.
Take a step for a supper day.
All right. Take your time. Take your time.
Thank you.
Did you have fun with the crew today?
I actually did.
We end up having to take
out that Sophia's in spot.
Oh, okay.
You know she told me
that trial starts tomorrow.
Yeah.
You want me to take you down?
Mm-mm.
That's no longer a
part of my life anymore.
I don't wanna be
nowhere close to that place.
Okay.
And other than that.
Seems like you got
something on your mind.
Wanna talk about it?
Mmm.
Will you ever have something
in your past that haunts you?
Or did something that you regret?
Nah.
I don't have too many regrets.
No, I tend to hold you
back and tear you down.
And, that's easier said than done.
What you mean?
I have something in my past that
gives me nightmares all the time.
Your kidnappng?
No.
Actually, it was living with aunt.
Oh yeah.
Whatever happened to her?
She abused me.
And she let her boyfriend rape me.
What?
When they would get high.
Are you serious?
One day I just got so fed up,
I ended up putting poison in there chili,
and I just watched them die.
Baby.
Please don't judge me.
Oh, no, no, no, I could never judge you.
I got you, baby.
For life.
I love you, John.
I love you too, babe.
Just don't ever cook me no damn chili.
[laughing]
No chili.
No chili..
Life was so good with John.
He loved me so much.
Okay, so I noticed that you continued
to speak of John in the past tense.
Did that not work out?
[birds chirping]
[birds chirping]
[phone ringing]
Gina, thank goodness.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Have you seen the news?
No, I don't know.
It's all over the news.
Well, hello there, beautiful.
Gina, Gina.
Did you miss me?
What are you doing here, Renaldo?
What, you haven't heard?
It's all over the news.
The DA's opening and shut
case just got thrown out.
No witness.
See, my lawyer informed me that Miranda
was their saving grace.
So the cartel paid her
a visit late last night?
[laughing] No witness, no case.
What did you do to John?
So I'm sitting here in
front of you, a free man.
And all you could worry
about is this piece of shit.
John, John, baby, get up.
No, you're really hurting
my feelings right now, Gina.
I thought that you would
be happy to see me, baby.
Especially after all
that I've done for you.
Get out.
You know, you are alive because of me.
I was the one that sent that detective
bitch your location.
Don't you see?
I saved you.
I saved you for us.
So now we could be a family.
Get your fucking hands off her.
Or what?
Renaldo, please just leave.
Leave you alone.
So you really are choosing him over me.
Yes, can you please just leave us alone!
You know I can't do that, baby doll.
You belong to me.
Now go get your things and let's go.
Over my dead body.
Oh no, no, no, no.
Please, no, no, no.
No, no, no, please,
please, please, please.
No, no, no, no, no, no,
please, please, please.
[gun fires]
Oh no, no, no, no.
No.
No.
I'm so sorry.
Look at me.
No!
Remember this, you
always will belong to me.
No.
[crying] No, no, no, no.
I'm so sorry, John. No, no, no, no.
I'll be back for you.
No.
[crying] no!
Well Doc, that's my story.
And how do you feel now
that you've talked about it?
I feel pretty good.
You know it just feels good to release.
You know, just let it out.
Good.
Well, that's our time for now
and I'll see you back here in a month.
And next time we'll try
to dig a little bit deeper.
Okay.
Thank you, Doc.
This has been very helpful.
And I know that continued therapy
would be very good for me.
It will.
And I'll be sure of it.
Have a great day, Miss Bell.
