Ma, did Daniel say he was
coming to fix the leaky faucet?
Yes, that man is so handy.
Did you tell him your
mama need a house built?
Um, not before he builds mine.
(both laughing)
[Mother] And when he marries you,
it's a bonus for me too, okay?
Yes, I know, Mother.
I'll have a great husband
and you'll have a handyman.
Also, Daniel told me he booked
a fabulous island honeymoon
at Divine Destination Travel Company.
And you know Sherman and Tanisha,

I'm almost jealous.
Let just see how that works.
Mm.
That was so good. That was good.
I love you.
But baby, I gotta go to work.
I gotta work a double tonight.

- Hey, my baby.
(laughs) Yes!
All right, you can let me go now, Mama.
(Ms. Vita speaking indistinctly)
- Drew.
- Monica.
You think you can give us some prophecy?
All right, now you know you
need to sign these papers.
Now I ain't seen you
in a month of Sundays.
And you gonna come here about some papers?
Is this why you came?
Mama, if anything happens to you,
I wanna make sure
everything's taken care of.
Now look here, baby.
You look nice in your
funeral green and things,
but I ain't about to die anytime soon.
Believe me, Mama,
I don't want you to die
anytime soon, either.
But come on now, we gotta
make sure everything's in order.
I need my glasses to see this.
I ain't signing nothing
that I ain't read, here.
Look, she says she's not
signing the fucking papers.
Would you mind your
fucking business, Nurse Nosy?
She is my fucking business.
- More mines than yours.
- Y'all stop it!
Now you know that's not true.
But baby, I'm not signing them papers.
Sign the papers, come on!
Not until my lawyer sees them.
You don't trust me now?
Get the fuck outta
here, Drew For Nothing.
Or what?
Before I call the police.
I ain't got time for this shit.
Drew!
Baby, don't, come back here!
You see what you done did?
Let 'em go.
(Monica crying)
Why did you do this to me?
Fuck you, Daniel!
Vita loves me. She's the
perfect mommy for me.
Well, we finally made it.
This is so nice.
My God, yes.
Oh, I used to love coming to this place.
- I'm sure.
- It belonged
to my grandmother.
We used to come here every two years.
We haven't been here since
my grandmother passed away.
You going somewhere?
Oh yes, I'm going to the
store. I need to get groceries.
Do you want something back?
Ooh, yes. Can I get some cinnamon rolls?
Absolutely. And is that it?
Yeah, but I do need my phone
'cause I wanna call Drew, okay?
Oh, I called Drew earlier.
He didn't answer the phone.
Okay, but can I get my phone?
Um, I actually forgot your phone,
but it's okay, we can use mine, okay?
How on God's green earth
can you forget my phone?
Because sometimes I forget things.
And like I said, I have a phone.
You don't need yours, we can use mine.
Well, do you mind turning the TV on?
The TV doesn't work either.
Look, just read your book, okay?
I'll be back in a few.
What kind of vacation is this?
The TV don't work, the phone ain't here.
God, this is weird. You weird.
(sultry music)
Beauty like no other
(vocalist singing indistinctly)
Hey, beautiful. How you doing today?
I'm good. How can I help you?
I was just driving by.
I just wanted to come
over and introduce myself.
Hi.
My name is David.
- Pleasure to meet you, David.
- And yours?
I'm Nika.
I just moved up the block.
Maybe you and your husband
can stop by and have a drink.
(chuckles) No husband. I'm here alone.
Well.
That's even better.
Maybe me and you can have that drink.
I'm may have to take
you up on that offer.
I'd like that.
Thank you, David.
Oh, Daniel, I loved you,
why did you do this to me?
Daniel, why did you do this to me, Daniel?
I loved you, Mommy.
I loved you, Mommy.
Why?
Why, why did you do this to me?
I loved you, Mommy. I loved you, Daniel.

(eerie music)
These men that I meet
They just ain't, ain't good for me
A queen needs her king
Will you ever leave my dreams
[Drew] Jackie.
Oh, hey Drew. What's up?
I was just about to go get your mom up.
For some reason, Monica didn't show up
for work this morning.
Yeah, that's why I'm here.
Have you seen the news?
No, I don't watch the news.
Her mother and fiance
were found dead today.
Oh my goodness. I've
been calling her all morning.
Her phone's been going
straight to voicemail.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
Yeah, me and that
crazy witch never got along,
but hope nothing happened to her.
I know, me too.
I'm gonna go tell Ms. Vita, okay?
Wait, wait. You know what, wait.
Let me be the one to tell her.
Okay, go ahead.
Jackie! Jackie, she's
not here, she's not here!
What do you mean? She's not here.
I've been here the whole time!
Look, call the police.
- Okay.
- Just go call the police now,
hurry up!
Shit!
(Monica knocking)
[David] Hello.
[Monica] Hello.
[David] What's up? Come on in.
Hey, you look beautiful.
[Monica] Thank you.
You have a really nice place.
[David] Ah, thank you.
You barely made it, right?
Yeah, I guess I
might like you a little bit.
I came over here before the rain started.
Hey, that's a good thing.
So what brings a beautiful
lady like you out tonight?
I really just needed a change of scenery.
Oh, I get it. You know it
be's like that sometimes.
Yeah.
So I see you a Cowboys fan.
Oh, yeah. I love the Cowboys.
But look at you. I mean, beautiful.
I mean, this is something I
just threw on, nothing major.
Girl I'm talking about beautiful.
Thank you, thank you.
But look, I really just decided
to take you up on that offer
and come have a drink.
Hey, you know what?
You did the right thing.
- Lemme get you something.
- Thank you.
[David] I don't even
really want to get up, though.
(Monica chuckling)
(Monica laughing) Oh yeah,
that's what I'm talking about.
Thank you.
So, cheers
to new beginnings.
Nah, cheers to us.
(sultry music)
Where is she?
'Bout time.
Look, I got here as
soon as my shift was over.
Have you heard anything
from the police yet?
No.
They're no help.
And I mean, I went out to every agency
to see if I get information
out on her and nothing.
It's like she don't even exist!
Figures.
Look, I know y'all are friends, right?
You and Monica, so you got some information
that can help me find her.
Me? What do I know?
I mean, we were cool,
but we didn't hang out.
I mean, it was always about
her, her mother, and her fiance.
Look, think, dammit!
I don't have time for this.
No, hold on. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
Look, I'm just, I'm just
trying to find my mom, okay?
And get her back safe.
Can you have a seat?
Please.
Okay.
All right. Come here.
So beautiful.
Thank you for coming, okay?
I'm just a mess, all right?
And I just need someone
that's gonna believe me
and that's gonna help me find my mom.
Okay, well, let me think.
Everything was always about the wedding,
but then she started to tell me
about her grandmother's vacation place.
And it started somewhere,
something with a G.
Garland or Grand Prairie.
Um, I don't know. I just don't know Drew.
I don't know.
No, no, no. Jackie, that's good.
We can check those spots out first.
But..
I know this is a lot to ask you.
Okay? But can you please
help me find my mom?
Yes, I can help.
I'll make flyers, okay?
Thank you.
Take you to a place you ain't ever seen
(vocalist singing indistinctly)
So come on, let's get away
I think I wanna settle with a ring
You worth more than a
diamond, you everything
(vocalist singing indistinctly)
Eat your food.
Where-
My cinnamon rolls. Did
you get my cinnamon rolls?
Don't ask me for no damn
cinnamon rolls. I forgot.
Well, clearly you forgot.
I mean, that's the only
thing I asked you for.
You bring me this shit here?
Goddammit, sometimes
I just forget shit, okay?
Why can you forget shit?
You know what? I never liked your food.
Just take this shit with you. Move.
Well, don't eat nothing. Starve!
You know what? This not working.
I think you need to take me back!
I'm not taking you anywhere, okay?
Because I brought you here,
and you're gonna stay until I
say you're ready to go, okay?
I'm the daughter you never
had, okay? I love you, Mommy.
Bitch, you ain't my daughter.
(Vita exclaiming)
Don't fucking say that again, okay?
Now,
I think you need to stay
24 hours in your room
until you apologize... No! No, no!
No, Jesus, help me, no!
Hey, how you doing, brother?
Hey, man, uh, my mom, she's missing.
I was just trying to see
if you seen her before.
I know she might be in this area.
So I was just trying to see
if you've seen this picture before, man,
if you seen her.
- No.
- That's fine.
(sultry music)

(vocalist singing indistinctly)
I have every intent to be served
I am station number
position high perched
Sounded kind of spoiled
but the chosen comes first
Submit to me when I arrive
I can see the yearning
and the well in your eyes
You don't wanna (indistinct)
You want in the fold, do as you're told

Do you offer me no resistance
Open up to me, I'll go the distance
Disobedience will get you punished
If it comes by hearing,
show me that you're listening
When I say right now,
do it now, do it now
Yeah, what I mean is right now
Do it now, do it now
(vocalist singing indistinctly)
Quenching that river (indistinct)
Please watch what you say
What you say to me
Promise me control,
I promise I will lead
If you want me
(Linda knocking)
Are you gonna let in, David?
You're not answering my calls.
Linda, didn't I tell you it was over?
Linda, why are you over here?
We're not together no more.
David, what the hell is going on?
You've got to be fucking kidding me.
You move on really fast!
Linda, you need to leave right now.
(Monica muttering indistinctly)
I hope you used protection!
Because he fucked the
shit outta me last week,
right before he fucking broke up with me!
David, so that's the
kind of man that you are?
- Monica, no.
- Get the fuck outta my way.
Monica, no!
I didn't lie to you, I just
didn't tell you the whole truth.
This is why you're
breaking up with me, for her?
Actually, no. I just met him.
And you're already fucking
him? (Speaks Spanish)
- Punta?
- Punta!
(Monica speaking Spanish)
Really?
Look what you did!
What I did? What you did.
You don't ever wanna see me happy, man.
Happy? Your happiness is with me!
(David knocking)
Shut up!
What do you want, David?
Monica, let me in.
No, now is not a good time.
Let me guess. Your son is home.
Mind your fucking business. No, he's not.
Monica, let me come in!
Motherfucker, after what
you did to me this morning,
I don't wanna have shit to do with you!
Now go home, David!
[Vita] Help me! Help me!
Shut your old ass up 'fore
you make me fucking kill you!
Oh my God. What the hell?
Please, help me, please, Jesus, please.
(gun firing)
(tense music) (Vita whimpering)
Wait, Monica, please, Monica, please.
Please, please, don't hurt me, please.
Please, baby, don't hurt me.
I promise I won't tell nobody, please.
Please, please, please.
Please, can I call Drew
just one more time, please?
- Please?
- Fuck Drew.
- No, no, no.
- And fuck you, too.
No! (Gun firing)
(suspenseful music)
You bitch!

Oh, my, my baby.
My baby. Oh.
Oh, my list.
Must not cause me physical harm.
Must not put anyone before me.
Must not ever sleep with my man.
Oh, Mommy, I know
you're out there somewhere.
I just want love.
I just want love.
(soft music)
Love, I just want love.
Clap, clap
Everybody clap, clap, clap, clap
Everybody clap, clap, clap

Hot potato, hot potato, hot potato
They can't stand me the way do my thing
(child rapping indistinctly)
(Monica whimpering) (dramatic music)
Hey, beautiful. You looked
like you needed a man.
I'm gonna protect you.
I can love you right.
Okay, Deshaun. That's enough, go on.
[Deshaun] Oh, man.
See you're awake.
My name's Kristina, I'm the counselor here.
Do you remember coming in last night?
Yes.
You have a lot of bruises,
a lot of scrapes. Sprains.
Is there anything you wanna talk about?
(eerie music)
(gun firing) (eerie music)
No.
Do you need protection?
Yes.
(sighs) Okay.
We'll get it taken care of
Ladies, she's gonna be staying with us.
Hey, hun.
Just wanna let you know
that you'll be fine here.
We are a family here.
And by the way, what is your name?
Um, Sarah.
- Sarah Rivers.
- Sarah Rivers.
[Kristina] Hello, Sarah.
Hello. I'm Angel, it's nice to meet you.
I'm so glad you woke up.
I was so scared.
Kathy Faye, that's enough.
This is Marie.
Hi.
I thought maybe you
could use some company.
I don't want no company.
Sarah.
In order to make it here
and in order to avoid
whatever situation it is
that got you here in the first place,
it might be a good idea
to make a few friends.
That's okay. I was just
trying to be nice to you.
Stay your lonely ass in here.
When you get out of here,
I think your room is
going to right next to mine.
If you feel like talking, you
can always knock on my door.
By the way, Sarah, if
you're feeling a lot of pain,
let me know and the doctor
will prescribe you something
that'll help.
Thank you.
Sarah, can I ask you something?
Sure.
You came here for help, right?
Yes.
Okay. Every single person
here is here to help you.
And I think that making it here
is gonna require a little bit
of an attitude adjustment.
Those women have been
through unimaginable things.
- I'm sure you have, too.
- Yes, I have.
Okay. Well, we're all in
this together, that's the point.
We have our first meeting
tomorrow night, seven o'clock.
It's a support group.
And if you care to share,
I'd love for you to come.
In fact, even if you don't care to share,
I'd still love for you to come.
(soft music)
I am so glad I came here.
You ladies have really
made a difference in my life.
'Cause I am worthy.
(group cheering)
So glad you came.
All you have to do is
introduce yourself, okay?
As much or as little as you want.
I'm really proud of you.
My name is Sarah.
[Group] Hi, Sarah.
I've been in trauma
since I was a little girl.
A lot of pain and a lot of deceit.
Every time I think my
life is going right, it's not.
I always find myself running.
So I ran here.
Do you wanna share anything else, Sarah?
No, not right now.
Okay.
Okay ladies, our session's over.
I'll see you guys next
time. Thanks for coming.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
You're welcome. Tomorrow at seven.
Sarah?
Sarah.
Sarah.
Can you stay a second?
I'd like to talk to you for just a minute.
I have a question.
Really glad to see you here.
This is the first part of
healing, I'm really proud of you.
It can be hard to do, but you did it.
So one of the things
that's really important
is not keeping in contact
with the outside world.
Is that gonna be a problem?
No. I can do that.
There's no one that
you feel like you really
need to be in contact
with, your parents, a child?
I don't have any children.
I never knew what a father was or a mom.
So I don't see that being a problem.
Okay.
And the man that did this
to you, husband, boyfriend?
He was my fiance.
Is he looking for you?
Did you see what I looked
like when I came in here?
I looked damn pretty bad, didn't I?
Would you be looking for me?
Well, I've seen worse.
Somehow they're always looking.
I promise he's not looking.
You probably need to go shopping,
I could take you shopping
if you need some things.
You'll do that for me?
Yeah.
I'd love to.
We get a lot of donations.
There's a big old room.
We have really nice stuff.
You can just make a list
of the things you might need
and whatever we don't
have, you and I can go out.
We could get the rest.
Unless it's too soon.
If you need extra time, that's fine too.
If you're uncomfortable.
No, I'll be fine.
How about some time next week? 2:30?
- Thank you.
- Is that okay?
Good.
(hip hop music)
(vocalist singing indistinctly)
I know you (indistinct)
something's wrong
I was wrong
I get it, I was wrong
Got me thinking I'm bothering you
This shit got me all
- Hey.
- Hey.
Wanna sit? I can do you next.
No, I'm good.
Yeah, because she thinks she too good.
That's why. I mean, why
don't you go back to your room?
Maybe we don't feel like company.
- Kathy!
- Your room.
Kathy, mind your own business.
Lounge is for everyone.
Man, you take things too personal.
You know what it's like being new.
Ah, you too? You tripping.
Fuck all y'all. (Indistinct)
What the fuck is her problem?
Anger issue.
Look, she's been through a lot.
Her baby daddy used
to beat her and her kids.
All of her other kids got taken away.
So little D Man is all that she has left.
Cut her some slack.
And he's still looking for her,
since the police let him out of the jail.
Well, if I was her baby
daddy, I would beat her ass too.
Wait, that's not funny.
How can you joke about something like that?
We're all here for the same reason.
Speak for yourself.
What's that supposed to mean?
Nothing.
(ominous music)
What's going on, little man?
No fair. You're not
beautiful, you're ugly.
- Oh, really?
- Mm-hmm.
I heard what you said about my mom
and she's gonna beat your butt!
Well, not before I kick your-
Now get the fuck out.
Little bad motherfucker.
(tense music)
What the fuck did you say to my son?
I told him I'd kick
his motherfucking ass!
(both yelling indistinctly)
You fucking with the right one!
You fucking with the right one!
So first I want to tell all
of you thank you so much
for your kindness.
Y'all have made this
journey very easy for me.
When I came here, I
felt like I was really lost.
But with the help of you
all, I have been found.
Thank you for saving Kathy Faye,
I mean, saving myself in
the hall just now from myself.
So I'm happy to announce
that I will be discharged
in about a day or so.
(group cheering and applauding)
(hip hop music)
I'm so sick of trying
I'm tired of fighting but
You be denying but thinking you my love
He might be different,
but he don't put you first
I cannot fuck with you
'Cause you can't keep real with me
I'm sorry, baby, I
won't be a substitute
Don't act like you don't know the deal
I'm on that vibe with you
You be slide with me
It's just good times (indistinct)
This could be us, but it's just you
You know you're the
problem, I cannot fuck with you
I cannot fuck with you
Cannot fuck with you,
cannot fuck with you
I cannot fuck with you
Cannot fuck with you,
cannot fuck with you
When you're not with me (indistinct)
You think that you a player,
you barely made the team
What are you doing? You
know you can't do that in here.
Why don't you mind your own business?
Fine. Do whatever
the fuck you want to do.
Tell me something.
How does it feel to be one
of the last people coming in,
but to be the first to leave?
It actually feels pretty damn good.
You know, Miss Kristina
has been exceptionally nice to you.
I call it favoritism.
Aren't we a little bit too old for that?
Just face it, I got my shit together.
Meanwhile, you scared to go outside.
I can't just fucking leave.
Nobody's looking for you.
You know why nobody's looking for me?
Because nobody cares.
Because I killed them.
I killed them all.
And you're right.
I am Mommy's favorite.
Who the fuck is Mommy?
(both screaming)
Bitch. (Monica screaming)
Oh my God, help, somebody help!
(Monica screaming)
Oh my God, oh my God.
Oh my God.
What happened?
- Kathy Faye!
- Get her.
Oh my God.
She just fell.
[Resident] What happened?
[Monica] It's Kathy
Faye, it's Kathy Faye.
Kathy Faye. Kathy Faye.
What's going on? What's going on?
Kathy Faye.
- She's probably high.
- What?
Go call 911.
(dramatic music)
I've got some bad news.
Kathy has died.
What you mean she died?
(eerie music) (Monica laughing)
Oh my God.
- I'm tired.
- Oh, I am too. That was fun.
But you got some really good stuff.
Yes, we did. We did.
And I can't wait for you
to help me put all this stuff together.
Oh.
It has been a long day.
Yes, it has.
But look, you can stay here
because I know you got a long drive.
That actually doesn't
sound like a bad idea, really?
See, and you know what?
You can sleep in the bed,
'cause I'll stay right here on the couch.
No, no, no, no. I'm good on the couch.
Whew.
Thank you, Kristina.
Thank you for everything
you've done for me.
Of course. It's my job.
No, no, don't say
that, it's not your job.
Look, you've made me feel more like
than a job, more than a friend.
You've been more like a mommy.
That's really sweet, Sarah.
I mean, I never really had a real mom.
You think you can be like my Godmom?
Of course.
- I'd love that.
- Okay.
Hey, do you have popcorn?
I do.
I would love to watch a
movie with my goddaughter.
Say less. I'm gonna get the popcorn.
Oh, this is gonna be fun.
Getting popcorn for me and my Godmommy.
(lips smooching) Good night, Mommy.
Hey, I missed you this
morning when I woke up.
I thought we would do breakfast.
Okay.
That's cool. What about lunch?
Understood.
All right. Later.
(eerie music)
(Monica yelling)
(eerie music)
(Monica yelling) (eerie music)
(elevator dinging)
(keys clicking)
- Hey, Cass.
- Hey, Dr. Richard.
Um, she's in a meeting right now.
Sit your ass down.
[Kristina] We're gonna step up.
We're gonna come together
as a family, like we always do.
(knocks) Hey, I need talk to you. Now.
[Kristina] How about
I catch you in clinic?
Hey.
So the autopsy's in.
- You look at it?
- Yeah.
Something's just not right.
What do you mean?
So, apparently she had three blows.
Two to the front and one to the back.
How does that happen with just one fall?
That was my thought.
I mean, if she hit her head on the sink,
and again, when she landed on the ground,
that would account for two of them.
What really happened to you, Kathy Faye?
At this point,
about the only person
that would know is Sarah.
I mean, and who is Sarah anyway?
Like what I mean is like, what
do we really know about her?
(keys clicking)
So,
I think you're right.
What'd you find out?
Well, the Google search produced nothing.
And I called the nursing home
where she said she worked
and they have never
heard of a Sarah Rivers.
I really think it's time
that we alert the authorities.
No, I need to talk to her first.
Nah, I don't, I don't like that idea.
Listen.
She could be dangerous, baby.
I don't want you going out there alone.
If you're going, I'm going with you.
She's harmless.
You know I can take care of myself.
It's one of the things you love about me.
It is.
But listen, if we're gonna do it like this,
then you call me as soon as you're done.
Hey.
As soon as you get in the car, okay?
All right. Be careful.
(Kristina knocking)
- Mm.
She made it.
- Well, hello.
- Hello.
Smells so good in here.
- Thank you.
- What did you decide on?
Well, I decided to cook spaghetti.
Oh, shit.
Do you even eat spaghetti?
Yes.
- Yes, that sounds great.
- Okay.
Look at you.
That's beautiful.
Thank you. So, how was your day?
- It was good.
- Good.
It's really good.
- How's Marie?
- Good.
- They miss you.
- Aw.
What's that?
It's..
Kathy Faye's autopsy report.
Okay, why did you bring it over here?
Sarah, I need to know what
happened in that bathroom.
I told you, she slipped and fell.
I mean, why are you even asking me this?
You act as if you love Kathy
Faye more than you love me.
What?
No.
No.
Sarah, there are things
in this autopsy report
that can't be explained
by a simple slip and fall.
And if you two got in a fight or something,
if there was an altercation,
I just wanted you to know
that you could tell me.
That's all.
Are you accusing me of something?
No.
- Hmm.
- I would never do that.
I just thought that maybe
you could shed some light
- on the situation.
- Well, I can't!
Would you like a glass of wine?
Sure.
Let me go to the bathroom first.
Sure. (Tense music)
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music continues)
(suspenseful music continues)
(suspenseful music continues)
- You okay?
- Yeah.
Looks great.
Thank you.
Time to dig in.
Cheers.
Cheers.
- Good, right?
- It's really good.
Mm-hmm.
Sarah?
Sarah, why am I tied up?
I was wondering when
you were gonna wake up.
Why am I tied up?
Well, I don't need you going around,
telling people I did something
to Kathy Faye now, do I?
I didn't say that.
Oh, well you didn't
say it, but you thought it.
Otherwise, you would've never asked me.
I didn't say that. Please just untie me.
We can talk about this, Sarah.
Oh no, I don't think I need to untie you
in order for us to talk.
Just admit it.
You think I done something
to Kathy Faye, don't you?
No. No, I don't think that.
Please just... Shut up!
Don't fucking lie to me.
Please, just me. We can talk about it.
We can work this out, please.
No, no.
See, all I wanted was for us to have
the perfect mother and
daughter relationship.
Right? But you had to go and fuck that up!
Kathy Faye. Kathy Faye,
she is not your daughter!
- I am!
- I know.
I know, you're right. I love you.
You're my daughter. Please.
I don't, I don't blame you.
I don't think you had
anything to do with it, please,
just untie me and we can work it out.
No. No.
See, 'cause I want you to lay here
and think about what
it is that you have done.
(eerie music)
So did you think that?
Yes.
If this is what you're doing to me,
I know that you killed Kathy Faye!
Shut the fuck up! Don't
say her name anymore.
She didn't love you like I did.
You were supposed to only love me.
But you failed.
You rule breaking bitch.
(Kristina gasping) (suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music continues)
(Margaret knocking)
[Monica] Who is it?
Um, hi, it's Margaret-Ann, I'm your-
Hi, I'm Margaret-Ann, I'm
your neighbor next door.
I was just making sure everything was okay.
Everything is fine.
I was actually just hanging some paintings.
Oh, I can come... Absolutely not, no.
Thank you, but no thanks.
I was actually just finishing up.
- Oh, okay.
- Margaret-Ann,
what have I told you about
disturbing your neighbors?
Mom, she was just hanging
paintings. Everything is okay.
[Mother] All right.
Well, if I can't help
you, I will be leaving.
It was nice meeting you.
Nice meeting you.
Nosy bitch. (Door closing)
(fire crackling)
So you settling in okay?
Yes, ma'am.
So this is a nice, quiet place.
Is that important?
Yes. It calms my nerves.
Okay.
[Margaret-Ann] Mother, come on.
You know, you should come with us.
Okay. My last two dresses.
We have sleek, elegance, mm.
We have fun, vibrant, like my personality.
Or royal blue. For royalty.
We have options. What do you think?
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Okay, so which one?
I don't know, Margaret-Ann.
What do you think, Sarah?
Well, what's the special occasion?
She thinks Gregory's gonna
pop the question tomorrow.
Oh, how do you know?
Yeah, I could just feel it.
And he's been-
He's been hinting at it.
And also, a girl always knows.
What are we going with?
Well, I haven't seen you in all of them,
but I think the blue one is very elegant.
Oh, she has good taste.
That's the one I was gonna choose.
Well, I guess we figured it out.
The blue one it is.
- Yes.
- So we have the shoes,
the dress.
I just need to do something about the hair.
Oh, don't you worry about it.
I made us an appointment
for in the morning.
You did?
Yes. There's nothing
too good for my baby girl.
I just love you, Mommy.
(eerie music)
[Mother] I love you
too, with all my heart.
[Margaret-Ann] Mrs. Gregory.
You can call me Mrs. Gregory.
Yes, Mrs. Gregory.
(Margaret-Ann squealing)
[Margaret-Ann] So excited.
(police knocking)
Excuse me. Hey, excuse me.
Are you Sarah Rivers?
Who wants to know?
This is your apartment, right?
- Yeah.
- So what,
you see two cops coming your
way and you just turn around?
Look, cops are not a good sign.
I just moved in this apartment
and I was just hoping that
y'all came to the wrong one.
And why would you think that?
Matter of fact, can we come inside
and talk to you for a little bit?
What is, what is this about?
So what's going on?
Do you know a woman named Kristina Mays?
Yeah, she was my mentor
at the shelter I just came from.
She was found dead last night.
Oh my God. What happened?
It appears to be a car accident.
But there are some
things that are concerning.
The staff at the shelter seem to think
that she was on her way here.
I mean, she called and
said that she was on her way,
but she never made it.
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.
Look, we're just trying
to retrace her footsteps,
because the accident seems
a little bit suspicious to us.
Why would you say that?
Ma'am, she had rope burns on her wrists.
You wouldn't know anything
about that, would you?
Why would I?
Our report says that you were present
when Kathy Faye slipped and fell.
Yeah, that was unfortunate.
You know, you never really
know when it's your time to go.
Sarah,
the doorman said there
are cops in the building.
Let's go be nosy.
I bet old Miss Jenkinson slipped and naked-
Everything is fine, ma'am.
Kristina was more than a mentor to me.
She was more like a second mom.
Well, I'm sorry for your loss.
Please, take my card.
And if you think of anything
else, just give us a call.
What's wrong? Who's Kristina?
Kristina was my mentor.
She was like a mom to me.
She was the only mother that I ever knew.
I am so sorry. It's gonna be okay.
What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?
It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay.
It is going to be okay, I promise.
(Sarah crying)
I am so sorry.
Sarah.
I am hoping that you are a lifesaver.
Oh my God, girl, you
done broke your heel?
What size shoe do you wear?
- Seven and a half?
- You're in luck.
And I think I have the perfect
shoe to go with that dress,
one second.
Here, try these on.
These look better than mine.
You like 'em?
- Yes, girl.
- Okay, cool.
- So, what are you doing?
- Girl, nothing.
Sitting here reading
this book by Cece Jarvin.
You know, she does all the romance stuff.
But really, I was just killing time,
because I was supposed
to go to the bar tonight,
but I have nothing to wear.
Oh, you can invade my closet.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Greg will be here in 15 minutes.
I'll leave it unlocked for you, yeah?
- Are you sure?
- Absolutely.
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
- Have fun tonight.
- See you later.
[Margaret-Ann] All right. Thank you.
You so silly.
I must tell you how much
of a good time I had tonight.
I had a wonderful time, too.
Now you know my daughter's
about to marry your son.
And you know her beautiful mother's
about to marry this handsome gentleman.
(both laughing)
(people chattering)
Son, you ready?
- Good night.
- Good night.
(lips smooching)
Mother.
You are so freaking embarrassing.
What?
How can you flirt with
Greg's dad like that?
I wasn't flirting with that man.
I was just giving him some attention
that he desperately needed.
So you wanna be my
mother and my mother-in-law?
Oh, hell no. I mean, I just
wanna have a little fun, okay?
Mother, don't. Just don't.
Greg's father is off limits, okay?
If you say so.
I mean, I heard you, I heard you, you know.
- That being said.
- Yes.
- That man is fine.
- I agree totally.
He is a good-looking man, that's all.
My perfect mommy.
I finally found you.
Betty, Betty, Betty.
That's our new mommy, baby.
I know she would never betray us.
We can finally breathe.
(dramatic music)
Thank you so much.
I can't believe I forgot to get the milk.
Oh, there's no problem at all.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
- And let me get a bowl.
- Sure.
Hey, Mom, I'm borrowing your lotion,
I ran outta mine, I-
I can't believe you're
letting her use that bowl.
You know that means so much to me.
But she didn't know, Margaret-Ann.
But you did!
- Margaret.
- Mom! Ugh.
I'm sorry. Did I do something wrong?
No. No, you didn't.
That bowl belonged to her twin sister.
She was only eight when we lost her.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Do you mind me asking, how did she die?
You mean Sarah Lee?
Yes. Her name was Sarah.
She drowned in a swimming
pool and Margaret was with her.
And she's never forgiven herself
for not being able to save her sister.
This is my Sarah.
She's beautiful.
Thank you.

I don't get why you so upset.
Every man has a bachelor party.
Yes, but you said you wouldn't have one.
I trust you to have a bachelorette party.
I'm not having one.
And that's your choice.
Do you not trust me?
Because if you don't,
I don't think we should be getting married.
I do trust you.
You sure?
I'm sure.
Good.
So, I mean, I got my bachelor party?
I suppose.
Well, I'm going to tell
the boys the good news.
(lips smooching) Love you. Bye.
Love you.
Well, hello. (Indistinct)
Shh. So you did know.
I didn't.
You said you were drawn to me.
I know you want me.
This is gonna be our little secret.
Say less.
(lips smooching)
Mom, Greg's car is still downstairs.
I bet he's at the donut shop.
We are supposed to be on a diet.
Mom, I'm gonna go check him out.
What the fuck?
And I saw you come
out this bitch's apartment?
- I don't know her.
- You just proposed to me!
Like, what are you fucking doing?
What is going on?
You tell me. He came
outta your apartment.
- Oh, that.
- Oh, that.
I'm not done talking.
- Hey.
- Yo.
What the fuck is your problem?
Why don't you tell her, Greg?
Tell me what?
Tell her how we met at the club.
Stop.
Tell her how you
fucked me in the bathroom.
Shut up.
Tell her how you came over,
pretending to care about her feelings.
But you would've just wanted this pussy.
Shut the fuck up. Babe, she's lying.
I don't know her!
So why were you in her apartment?
Babe, listen to me, please.
You know what?
I can't believe this shit is happening.
You want this copycat? This lookalike?
Oh, no baby. No, you are all I want.
You're all I need.
Hey, listen, shut the fuck
up, Bobby and Whitney.
Get up outta my shit.
- Babe.
- Don't touch me.
You can go.
I ain't gotta deal with this bullshit.
The dick was good.
You a sick bitch, you know that?
Oh, am I? You mad?
Look at you, fucking pitiful.
You hang around my mother all day.
You're dressing like me.
You got your little hair done like me.
And now you fucking my man?
Bitch, you wanna be me.
Why would I wanna be you?
I don't know.
But I'm gonna tell my mother, Sarah.
You are not my fucking sister.
(eerie music)
(glass thudding) (eerie music)
My name's Monica,
bitch. And she's my mommy.
(Monica grunting) (glass thudding)
(eerie music)
Stanky ass bitch.

Who's the idiot now?

In other news, a man was
found dead in the bathtub,
naked and stabbed to
death at the Briglow Hotel.
He has been identified
as attorney Gregory Pitts.
Police are looking for
this woman for questioning.
If you have any
information about this case,
please contact the police immediately.
(dramatic music)
Oh my God.
John.
John!
Oh my God.
(officer knocking)
How you doing, ma'am?
Are you Betty Jones?
- Yes.
- Well, I'm Detective Pearson.
This is my partner, Detective Phillips.
May we step in for a
moment of your time, please?
Thank you.
How can I help you?
Ma'am, is this your daughter?
Yes.
I saw the news report.
Please don't tell me my daughter's dead.
No, ma'am, your daughter's not dead.
But we are looking for
her. She's not around?
No. No, she texted me.
She told me she was
spending the night with Gregory.
See?
What is this about?
Is my daughter a suspect?
Unfortunately, we don't
have the answer to that.
But we do know the room
was checked out in her name
and a couple of her
belongings was left at the room.
Oh, no.
So she is a person of interest.
My daughter loved that man.
She'd never do anything like this.
Listen, if she comes
home or try to contact you,
just tell her to come down
to the precinct immediately.
- Okay.
- All right, ma'am.
You have a nice day.
Thank you.
(tense music)
(Betty breathing heavily)
Where could you be, Margaret-Ann?
I can't believe that this is happening.
Oh my god, Mommy, what's going on?
- Has there been more news?
- No.
No, John just left and he
thinks my daughter killed his son.
I mean, he's just not thinking clearly.
- Not at all.
- The nerve of him.
Listen, I'll go talk to
him. Gimme his address.
Where does he live?
He lives over off of Cinnamon
Oaks in Highland Hills.
I mean, but what good is that gonna do?
Listen, I'm going to talk to him, okay?
Oh my God! Please, where is my daughter?
Yes, Mommy. Call on the Lord, okay?
He will bring her home.
- You think so, Sarah?
- Absolutely.
I'm gonna go lay down.
I need to be alone right now.
Okay. I'll talk to John.
Thank you.
Oh my God!
Why? Why is this happening?
Why?
Why?
(eerie music)
(toy winding) (eerie music)
(eerie music continues)
[Dispatcher] 911. What's your emergency?
(eerie music)
(Betty sighing)
Hello?
This is she.
No.
Please, don't tell me that.
No! (Cries)
That can't be real.
Not my baby. Why?
Oh, my feet.
I can't believe she's gone.
I've lost both my girls.
It's gonna be okay, Mommy.
Stop.
Stop saying it's gonna be okay.
And stop calling me Mommy.
But I... But nothing!
I told you they used to call me that.
I'm nobody's mommy anymore.
Sure you are. You're my mommy.
Sarah.
I'm not your mother.
I am sorry that you had a bad childhood.
But I am not your mother,
and I don't need you calling me that.
It hurts to hear someone
say that to me right now.
So please, respect my wishes.
Listen, I'm not trying to replace
Margaret-Ann or Sarah
Lee, I promise I'm not.
I just feel like we had a connection.
I mean, you said that
yourself. It's fate, right?
Get out.
What?
I said, get out!
I think you need to think about
what it is that you're saying.
I mean, I know that your emotions are high
and you're upset right
now, but you don't mean that.
Get out of my house!
Get out!
(cries) Oh, God. Oh, God.
God, why?
Not my baby.
Oh, God.
I'm so sick of all of these
motherfucking bitches.
All you had to do was be the perfect mommy.
But no, you wanna fucking switch up.
That's all they fucking do.
I'm sick of it. I'm sick
of all these bitches!
I'm fucking sick of 'em! I'm sick of it!
I'mma fucking show you. Mm-hmm.
I'm gonna show you.
I'm gonna show every
last fucking one of them.
Everybody gonna fucking
learn today. You know why?
'Cause I've been good.
I've been good to all of you.
You ungrateful, goofy motherfuckers!
You're a bunch of simple bitches.
But guess what?
I'm gonna teach y'all simple ass today.
Yes, mm-hmm.
(somber music)
Pitts, you have a visitor.
Baby.
Baby.
(somber music) (handcuffs rattling)
Baby.
I didn't have nothing to do with this.
This is nothing to do
with me, I had nothing-
- You're a liar.
- Baby-
- You're a liar.
- Baby, listen.
How could you,
How could you?
I love you too much.
You told me you were going kill her.
Hey, let me call you back.
John.
I've been calling your daughter.
- Has she shown up?
- No, she hasn't
and I am worried to death.
John.
I just came back from
examining my son's body.
I am so sorry.
Do you know what she did?
What do you mean what she did?
Your daughter.
Your daughter.
She got a knife.
She cut all his guts.
How do you know she did it?
She's missing and she-
Your daughter's not missing!
She's hiding!
They better catch her before I do.
'Cause you know what I'll do if I do.
Baby, I know what I said.
I was just talking in
emotion. I just lost my son!
Stop it.
Stop it!
I didn't come here to hear your lies.
Betty, baby, I didn't have no idea
that she was in the trunk, I had no idea!
I wouldn't do that. Why would I do that?
I loved you. I loved her, I loved my son,
I just lost my son.
Everything is (indistinct)
I don't even know what's
going on, babe, I'm telling you.
Please, you gotta believe me.
I came here to look you in your face
and to tell you I hope
you rot in this hole.
- Don't say that.
- I hope you spend
the rest of your life
in this hellhole, John!
Don't say that, please,
baby, don't say that. I need you.
I need you.
I need you, baby, I need you.
Baby, I need you.
Baby!
Baby!
I didn't do this!
Baby, come on, you gotta believe me!
You gotta believe me!
(somber music)
You gotta believe me.
(Monica humming)
(Monica humming)
I spent a lot of years
taking care of moms just like you.
I'm so glad you're here.
Let me get you some water.

I love you, I'm sorry.
I just need more time.
Look at you. Look at your daughter.
Do you think you was

These hands are too
tight, man. They're too tight.

- You got the right
to remain silent, let's go.
Wait, wait,
Wait, wait, wait.
I want her to have her doll.
- Ma'am, we have to go.
- Bye, baby.
But thank God we got
those anonymous calls
about that house, to save this kid.
Thank God she's already asleep.

Until you stop making all that
noise while Daddy's working.
