Two by two, jumping four by four
Shoddy came with a best friend
Got a bench, but I bet you want more
What's the stuff?
Just jump to the floor
What? What? What?
Today the who are you?
The two that I know
One turn, one second speed,
cause we're here
Turn up the music, make
our songs sing some blues
- Hey, TT girl, what's up?
- How'd the date go?
Why'd you turn off your location?
Girl, it was great.
But see, I didn't know
if I was gonna be fast,
so I didn't need you tracking me, okay?
He smells so good. Oh my god.
Send me a pic, I wanna see.
- How you getting home?
- Girl, relax, okay?
I called a PKTS ride.
It should be pulling up shortly.
Can't wait till you got in the car?
Ugh, these millennial men
have no manners. I can't.
Girl, it is fine, okay?
I told him he could go.
Girl, I'm a lady, and I'm trying
to get a second date.
Wait, is that a toilet flushing
that I just heard in your background, girl?
It's... it's just 11:30!
What's the tea going on
over there in your manor,
Dr. Cleaver?
Bitch, is that blush and contour...
Okay, you know what?
I am grown, I have company,
and don't ask me anything else.
Thank you.
Ooh! He's handsome, Aminah.
Hmm. So then why you calling
me, Ms. Brown,
if you clearly over there
entertaining company?
Anyway, did you see this year's
crypto projections?
A billion in losses.
Did you sell like I told you to?
Girl, yes.
PKTS thinks that they are the
new crypto on the messiah
but I cashed in after I hacked
into the exchange in Evanston.
Okay? Peep the long lead projection.
Aminah, you could go to jail
or be fined for hacking those.
- Please don't do that again.
- Let me tell you something.
Some rules are meant to be broken.
Just call me the crypto Robin Hood,
but it's Robyn with a Y.
What am I gonna do with you?
Listen, turn on your location so
I know when you got home, okay?
- I mean it, Aminah.
- Okay, done.
All right. And my car
is coming up right now,
so I'll text you when
I get home, bestie, all right?
- I love you.
- Bye! I love you.
She's a mess.
- Still didn't tell her?
- About?
About us.
And I see you still
don't have your ring on.
- It's complicated, Greer.
- Complicated, maybe.
But divorced couples get back
together all the time.
Getting back together?
We never discussed that.
I wonder why.
Greer!
Hey, I'm Aminah.
Hope you got water.
Good, 'cause I need it.
PKTS, the
world's first crypto-based
rideshare app.
Thank you for using cryptocurrency
and block chain to order this ride.
Buckle up.
You reached Aminah,
leave a message or just text me
like the rest of the world.
Bye!
Hey, Aminah. What's going on?
You said you were headed home.
Call me. Or at least text
me and let me know you're fine.
Geez, this girl.
Hey, girl, hey. What you still doing up?
Is that the decolletage exposed
and the girls sitting
propped up? Oh, my God.
Who is at your house? Tell me now.
Stop. Hey, girl.
Listen, do you still
have a connect to that unit
you used to work with?
- Rick's police unit?
- Yeah.
Yeah, why?
Step out of the vehicle.
Cryptocurrency,
like Bitcoin or PKTS,
that use block chain technology,
could be used to achieve racial
and gender equity and justice.
However, with the rise
of transactions using crypto
on the dark web,
assailants have gotten wise
to their crypto being monitored.
And to answer that issue,
I created Chain Reactor,
the only software in the world
that can trace every transaction
using crypto or block chain,
including on the dark web.
Since its inception five years ago,
federal agents in the US have hired me
as an independent contractor
to assist them
in crypto block chain cases.
I am still a professor
at the University of Chicago,
specializing in computer
science and advanced systems,
but I'm a busy woman
and I wanna get back.
Ugh, no, I shouldn't probably
say that last part, huh?
What do you think, guys?
What are your thoughts?
- Pretty good.
- Nice.
Let's get that last part out, right?
Oh, a cam.
Hi.
I'm here. Where are you?
Alright, well thanks
for the feedback, guys.
I just, I don't know,
I have ethical concerns
selling the Chain Reactor to the Feds.
I mean, tracing everyday people
and spying on them?
That's not what I had in mind
for the software.
But with the sell,
I can finally open that institute
I've been talking about forever, right?
That's it.
Any more questions
before we wrap it up?
I got a question, you ready
to turn it up, birthday girl?
- Oh, you in a Zoom?
- Yes, clearly.
Okay. Sorry, guys.
- Can you please...?
- Wait. Where are your pants?
- Oh, shit!
- Nice carral...
You might wanna work that out.
So can you just email me your
questions and I'll be, uh
thank you. Bye.
Sharon!
I could kill you!
Thank God that was just
a rehearsal presentation.
Oh my God, biker shorts
are the new skort, girl.
They don't care.
I still have to be professional
with my colleagues
at the university.
- For a Zoom?!
- Yeah.
Okay, I'm sorry
I came unannounced, alright?
What is it with your surprise visit?
I can't just pull up on my bestie?
Plus it's your birthday soiree weekend.
It is not a soiree,
it is an at-home cocktail party.
And if you order a stripper,
I will actually disown you.
And no, you can't just pull up.
Wait, you're bags are here.
Uh-huh.
What happened with Dr. Mike?
Throuple combo didn't land well?
Correct, I'm leaving Mike.
Did I tell you that I made
six figures in Bitcoin
on top of my pension?
Oh, and the world is literally my oyster.
Your what?
I thought you were gonna ease him
into the open marriage thing.
You just had your ten-year
wedding anniversary.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You trying to move in?
Here?
Carol, will you stop being so dramatic?
God, I just need a few days
in the Clever Manor.
You got plenty of space,
you won't even know I'm here.
That's loud. That's my phone.
The champagne and edibles
are giving me the munchies.
Hey, can you leave it out
at the front door?!
Thank you!
What?
You didn't ask if I wanted something.
And don't change the subject.
Is this a separation you're talking,
or are you talking about divorce?
Carol, there's
activity at the front door.
I believe it's a food delivery.
Oh, hush it, you dumb robot.
She knows what it is.
- It's Edi.
- It's weird and creepy.
Is that Sharon I hear?
Hello, Sharon.
Uh-uh. Do not talk at me.
Do not talk at me.
I don't know you like that.
You know what?
This thing gonna come alive,
and it's gonna attack your ass.
It's gonna rebel. But that's okay, roomie.
I'm here to protect you. Newly retired.
Detective Sharon O'Hara at your service.
- Hey, Aminah, baby. You good?
- Hey, y'all.
How you feeling, sweetie?
Oh, my God, I'm fine. Damn.
Did somebody order food?
Yes, thanks for
grabbing it for me.
- You want some?
- Oh, no, thank you.
I gotta watch my figure.
- How are you really feeling?
- I mean, I'm good.
You know, I've been staying here
with Auntie Carol since.
And I'll probably go back
to my job and my work on Monday.
Oh, that's good.
That's really good.
See your friends, go to work,
maybe even get some therapy.
Ease back into your life, okay?
Okay. You know I love y'all.
Now I'm about to go outside
and get some fresh air.
I'll be back in a bit.
Birthday festivities coming up.
Right. Get some normalcy
back in your life.
You can't stay cooped up
in Carol's fortress forever.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Cooped up in my fortress?
Therapy?
Ease back into life?
Sounds like someone needs
to follow their own advice.
Two men are at
the front door, Carol.
His voice is so irritating.
Can we turn it off?
No. You're visiting. Edi lives here.
He's irritating.
Greer, what are you doing here?
Carol, this is my new partner,
FBI agent Benjamin Samael.
The office clerk said
that you were working from home,
so we came over.
I thought they make house calls
when someone's in trouble.
- It's about Aminah's case.
- What's going on?
It's becoming a larger dark web
operation and it's serious.
Due to its personal nature
and our recent developments,
we couldn't wait.
Dr. Cleavers, I've heard all about you.
I've read all your research,
your time at Google
and the TED Talks.
All the crypto creeps know about you.
Your work on Chain Reactor is stunning.
- Thank you for your service.
- Thank you.
And call me Carol.
The assailant who tried
to sexually assault Aminah
is Landon Peters.
Dark web freak. A driver for PKTS.
He's now been arrested and is in prison,
thanks to you, Carol.
A few days ago, we finished
our initial search
on his web activity and we found
some very disturbing images
and videos on his IP address.
We need to use Chain Reactor
to trace him to this larger operation.
This way.
On his computers,
we found that it's not only
a PKTS driver at night,
but he's a registered user of Hello Video.
A site on the dark web.
Users can trade PKTS crypto coin
for explicit material of young women.
We think that Landon is part
of a network
that's trafficking young women
during PKTS rides.
Drivers exchange the kidnapped
woman for PKTS coins.
Drivers sell the women
to a buyer within the network,
and sometimes the buyer will
record explicit content
of an unconscious victim
and post it here.
Sorry, turn it off.
That could have been Aminah.
I know.
Once Chain Reactor
traces his PKTS block chain,
then routes us to other users
on Hello Video,
then ultimately
to the administrator of the site,
we can take it down and arrest
whoever's behind all this.
The only challenge is that PKTS is new.
It's kind of like Monero.
A coin known for its privacy features.
I know what PKTS and Monero are.
- Get to the point.
- Of course.
Hopefully PKTS can be traced.
Greer, you're
an IRS investigations agent.
What's your involvement in this?
Benny, he's a field agent for the FBI
and he contacted me about this case.
We follow the money
and we end all of this.
I need his block chain address.
It's all there in the folder.
- That's it, it's all there.
- What is?
These Hello Video users are sloppy.
They aren't obscuring their crypto trails.
This path leads
to every transaction location.
You follow the PKTS block chain
and you can identify
everyone involved in this.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Notifying a higher-up at the Bureau.
This is really great intel.
So, can we take the site down
with this trace?
Yes and no.
You need to trace each
block chain address
to their individual accounts.
These guys think they're hiding,
but their IDs
or legal names should come up
if they have crypto exchange accounts,
which they all do.
So, whoever is cashing out most
of the PKTS crypto wallet
is likely the admin of the site.
And whoever is receiving
the most crypto coins
is likely the drivers doing the kidnapping
and other activity.
An analyst can help you map out
all of these block chain addresses
and find these criminals.
I'll put everything on a drive.
We were hoping that would be you.
I'm selling Chain Reactor.
After tomorrow, I most likely
won't have it anymore.
What? To who?
A government agency. I can't say who.
This is your tech baby. Your genius.
Look, I'll put this data on the drive
and your analysts can manually type in
these block chain addresses
and find their IDs and information.
They won't have the ease of
Chain Reactor, but it'll work.
But Greer, this is gonna take days.
Weeks, maybe.
There were dozens
of Hello Video crypto addresses
right here in Chicago.
What are you gonna do about
these local offenders?
This is happening in real time.
If I hadn't checked my phone when I did,
Aminah wouldn't be here.
We're a small unit.
Our only target is the administrator.
So we can get this whole
damn thing taken down.
Greer, we gotta get a move on.
- Are you crazy?
- Noemi!
Hey, girl. I didn't know you were coming.
Sharon called and said
we were having a wine down.
So I bought the wine for
the pre-birthday festivities.
Hey, Greer.
Hey, Sharon.
They were here on business,
they just leaving.
- Bye, Greer.
- Bye, Sharon.
- Get them.
- I will.
So the ex-hubby's
still making house calls?
It was business.
It's a case, Chain Reactor.
I'm working from home.
- You know, how you doing?
- Oh, uh-uh.
Girl, don't think I didn't see
you hand him that watch.
He leave that here?
Oh, my goodness. Are y'all fucking?
Okay, I have work to do,
and it does not include this
interrogation, okay?
I will see y'all in a little bit.
No, no, ma'am.
We are having a girls' day.
So go on and fire up
that patio, grab some snacks,
have Edi play some good old music.
Because the pre-birthday hang
is happening.
Absolutely. Look, the sunset awaits.
Edi, play some '90s R&B freaky music.
No, scratch that.
Play some '80s house music
with inner cuts of '90s R&B swing.
You got it.
Loading up a playlist now.
I hope you all enjoy it.
Okay, so the Terminator
is growing on me.
Oh, this is my song!
Mm!
Mm!
Hey!
Get it, get it, get it.
Gotcha!
That was great,
but you are not allowed
to post those anywhere.
Scout's honor.
Your secret's safe with me.
Hey, Edi, turn it down a little bit.
Sure.
Would you like me to place
another order for wine delivery?
No, thank you. We're good.
I love what you did with Edi.
This whole house feels so leveled up.
What?
She can't get with my AI man
of the house.
- He's existential.
- It's the future.
Well, how did you name it?
Edi? Oh, it stands
for Engaged Data Intelligence.
I know.
It's a little clinical,
but that was my father's name, Edward.
You know, it feels familiar.
Well, speaking of advanced tech,
is everything finalized
with the sale of the Chain Reactor?
Hell, I would have bought it.
You own a data research company.
Why would you need
a crypto block chain tracer for?
Well, I'd find the use for it.
The possibilities
with that thing are endless.
And we do more than just data research.
Okay.
I mean, the offer was attractive.
Who and how much?
I can't say who. It's the government.
I mean, they want it for obvious reasons,
reasons that I can't really get down with,
but seven figures for the software.
High, medium, or low?
Damn! 1.2.
- Million?
- Okay, 1.2.
That is real attractive.
Sharon, did you just request
$30,000 from me on Zelle?
That is the new down payment
for my new house,
and I'll be out of your house by summer.
I can't. Could you cancel that, please?
Are you sure about this?
There's a lot of organizations
that can make a whole lot of use
out of that software.
And the government, they just
gonna try to exploit it.
I mean, they have subpoenaed me
a lot of times, and I'm over it.
I love teaching,
but I still wanna get back
to the community
and open that block chain institute
I've been talking about.
Aww.
Heffa...
You know what? I am done.
You have been avoiding this
all damn day.
What is going on with you and Mike?
Mm-hmm. The divas wanna know.
Okay, I asked Mike
for an open marriage.
We've been arguing ever since.
I just, I don't know.
I just kinda flat lined recently
in my marriage and in my life,
and I just want some adventure,
some excitement.
I can relate to that.
Wait, so you want an open marriage
so you both can sleep with other people?
No.
Kind of.
Didn't he just become deacon?
Yes! And that's part of the problem.
He's so traditional.
And I liked that about him when,
you know, I was a detective
and I was working, working, working.
But now that I'm retired,
I just wanna get lit.
Like, we're at this amazing
halfway point in our lives,
and why can't we just explore
alternative ways
of expressing ourselves?
Okay, well, have you considered
ethical non-monogamy?
What is this?
I mean, it's basically an open marriage
with rules and boundaries
so you avoid all the drama.
Hmm.
Aminah!
Hey, y'all.
- Girl is nice out here.
- Oh, come join us.
Girls wish I could, but I
have to call the caterers again
for this party and make sure all
the delivery's on time,
for this bad bitch turn-up...
It is just a cocktail party,
with fast hors d'oeuvres and food.
- It is not a blowout.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
And wine makes me sleepy,
so I just came up to say hi.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Aminah, we look forward
to having you back
in the office next week.
- I miss you.
- Yeah, I miss y'all, too.
Back to it, turn-up crew. Bye!
Bye!
She's in better spirits.
- It's good.
- It is.
Assholes.
Aw, thank you so much
for coming, girl.
I feel so much
more on the birthday spirit.
Oh, good, because Sharon sure does.
And look, we deserve
to get what we want,
no matter what the cost.
Hmm.
I'll see you at the party tomorrow night?
Yep.
Thank you. Get home safe.
- The party's over!
- Oh!
I missed the striper.
- Oh, God, it's my birthday!
- Oh, my God.
You have so much energy.
Oh.
Edi?
Has someone been down here
on my computer?
I'm sorry, Carol. I'm unsure.
Based on my current settings,
you have me systems asleep
after 11 p.m.
Would you like me to adjust the setting
to stay active longer
and continue my sweeps?
No, thank you. That's okay.
- Edi.
- Yes, Carol?
Copy the block chain address
I just traced from monitor one
and cross-reference it to
the dark web site Hello Video.
Pull information of the most
active user in Chicago
using PKTS Coin on the dark site.
Carol, must I remind
you the legal ramifications
for accessing the dark web?
No. Just do it. And show me a photo.
I wanna see his face.
Print everything, Edi.
If I do this, it's for you.
Carol. Found him.
He is currently in the South Loop.
Hola, papi. Oh!
You okay?
- Oh, my God. I'm so drunk.
- Yeah.
I'm so thirsty, papi. Do
you have some water?
You had a fun night?
- Oh, yeah.
- Here you go.
Oh, papi, can you please pull over?
I think I'm gonna throw up, I'm so sorry.
Gracias, Y2hay. Active
user on Hello Video.
You sick son of a bitch! I got you!
Oh my god.
911. What's your emergency?
Hello, oh my god, my PKTS
driver just tried to rape me.
Please help me, I'm on Lake and Rawls.
It's a black truck. Please hurry.
"" PKTS drivers, I'm on to you.
"I know what you're doing."
"Laundering PKTS crypto coin"
"and trafficking unsuspecting
young women."
"I've caught one of you tonight,
and he's in custody now."
"If you don't stop, I'll come for you."
The Wig Woman".
Oh, shoot. Oh, damn.
Yes, Shawn,
we're still going
to need the extra vegan options.
I don't care, you have several
hours. Make it happen.
And I'm still waiting
on an email of all the servers
with their face sheets.
Yeah. Yeah, I'll ask her. Yeah, okay, bye.
Girl, I'm never planning
another party again.
- Good morning, Auntie Sharon.
- Good morning.
- There is mimosas.
- Girl, what?
The sage in this chaotic kitchen, girl,
she going to lose it.
Uh-uh. She loves when I give
her cute little surprises.
This is certainly a surprise.
Why is it so sage-y in here?
Can we open a window?
Oh my god.
- Surprise! Happy birthday!
- Happy birthday.
Yay!
- Isn't it cute?
- Oh, it's something.
You guys, I have a Chain Reactor
meeting in 10 minutes.
- I need to go prepare.
- No, no, you're gonna sit.
You're gonna eat. Two seconds.
Okay.
So the caterer called and he asked
did you wanted to put a number
on cake?
No, I'm 45 and fabulous. No need.
I know that's right.
Edi, turn off the oven.
Turn on the oven fan
and then bring the central air
down to 68 degrees.
- You got it, Sharon.
- Okay, girl. See?
- He has a place in this home.
- It, Carol, it.
It's still a it.
Now, in other celebratory news,
I've decided...
To clean my kitchen and go home
to your hubby tomorrow?
No. I've decided to write a novel.
- Oh, what's it about?
- Okay, okay, okay, okay.
It's about a former detective
who goes to this woman's retreat
and she keeps recalling
all these detective stories.
And then I'ma throw some moments
and then.
Okay, T, so it's like
an Auntie Nancy Drew.
What is it with you millennials
and calling us aunties?
I'm still bad and bougie.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Hold on, hold on, because
auntie is a term of endearment.
Oh, I like it.
Anyway, I'm work shopping titles.
Check it.
Darling Detective
and the Happy Coochie.
What ya think?
Let's keep work shopping.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- How's party planning going?
- Planning is going.
Things are gonna be
very lovely and exquisite.
Ooh, and I invited Uncle Greer.
I don't wanna hear anything about it.
Oh, speaking of which.
Yeah.
We still haven't circled back
to that Greer sneaky link
you keep glossing over.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Greer?
Sneaky link?
- Uh-huh.
- Girl, what's that tea?
No tea.
Okay? He came over a few weeks
ago and left his watch.
We're just reconnecting. No big deal.
Oh, come on, sweetheart! You're nice!
Folks get back together
after the divorce all the time.
There is nothing wrong with that.
Oh, my God,
you are getting back together?
We're not getting back together.
We are just working through things.
We're just talking about it.
How long has it been
since y'all been divorced?
Three years.
You know,
a lot of couples didn't make it
after the pandemic.
And I just think
all of this time and space apart
is gonna help you guys see how
much you mean to one another.
What?
We're not talking about me.
Today is about you.
Carol, your
meeting is in five minutes.
I've turned on your computers
to get you a head start.
No! Don't listen to him.
- Come on.
- I love you.
And, um, don't worry about it.
I got it. Just go, just go.
Happy coochie, girl? Really?
Well, it is.
As you all know,
since its inception,
I've worked a number of successful
federal and state cases
with the help of Chain Reactor.
And now, as this technology advances
and I continue my work as an educator,
it's time for a new home for the software.
Lastly, I'd like to see
an ethics code from your team
on how Chain Reactor
will be safely utilized
in government strategy
before we sign the deal.
Thank you, gentlemen.
Ah! Everybody gather around!
Ah! Is time to sing!
One, two, three!
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear Carol
Happy birthday to you
Okay, okay, okay.
Before we continue this
marvelous party, dahling,
I would like to give my bestie,
my sister, and my friend
- her birthday gift.
- It better not be a stripper.
I did not recover
from that bachelorette party.
- Sharon!
- No! It's not a stripper!
That's for the after party.
Kidding! Kidding, kidding, kidding.
Okay.
So everybody knows how much
Carol loves to travel.
And I am getting you
two first class tickets
to Greece, baby!
Greece!
Greece!
Greece!
Oh, my God. Thank you. I love you.
- Baby, love you, too.
- My turn, my turn.
Okay, okay.
So, for those of you who don't know,
Carol and I worked together
in Silicon Valley
for a number of years,
and we formed quite
the sisterhood there.
So when I moved to Chicago,
she was one of the very first
people that I called.
And we've been there for each
other ever since.
Now, photo collaging
is one of my hobbies.
So.
On this diamond-encrusted drive
are photo and video memories,
celebrating all of your
fabulousness over the years.
And then you can add more as
you create more meomories.
This is beautiful. Thank you, Noemi.
All right, my turn, my turn,
my turn. Excuse me.
Bad bitch coming through.
To the woman who raised me,
who took me in
when I was just a teenager,
you gave me a home,
and you held my hand
as I walked in my truth.
To my auntie, Dr. Carol Cleavers.
Thank you, I love you so much.
Give it up! She planned this whole thing.
This shit wasn't cheap!
I love you so much.
Well, I'm speechless.
Thank you all so much for coming.
I really, really appreciate it,
and I love you all.
Thank you.
Happy birthday, bitch!
Turn the music back on!
So what did you want to talk about?
Carol, whatever happens between us,
I still want us to remain friends.
No matter what.
What if I want more than that?
Then we take it one step at a time.
I trust your pace.
Okay, but, Greer, I know what I want.
And I don't wanna
come second to your career.
We've been in each other's lives
for years now.
And I love and respect the woman
that you've become.
Well, I need you to date me.
And choose me.
I felt alone in the last couple of years.
Give me a chance.
You remember your birthday back
in Cabo?
Barely.
I took you upstairs.
I hiked you dressed up.
Greer, there's a house full of people.
What if someone comes in here?
Let them watch.
To be candid, I'm married.
But my thing with him is,
you do you, let me do me,
and that's the way it got to be, baby bars.
I'll see you soon.
Carol?
Yeah.
Good morning.
I figured you'd want to get
the day started,
but I didn't want to disturb
your morning rest.
What time is it?
It is now 10:25 am.
Good morning, princess.
Look at you sleepyhead.
You wanna hear how I got laid last night?
No.
Damn. What crawled up your ass,
evil lady?
I'm sorry.
Something's off.
Wait, Titi, what's wrong? Are you okay?
I think I was drugged last night.
What?
How?
We were all together almost
all night last night.
You didn't eat one
of my edibles, did you?
I told you they was way too
strong for you.
No, of course not.
That's not the feeling I had.
I said good night to Greer,
I grabbed a glass of champagne
from one of those servers,
and the next thing I know,
I'm up in this bathroom throwing up.
Okay, hold on, hold on...
You sure you just weren't
really, really drunk?
No, I only had 3 or 4 glasses
of champagne,
and I didn't even say goodbye
to the guests.
You know I wouldn't leave
without doing that.
Yeah, that's true.
I just thought you were tipsy
and you went to lay down.
You know what?
You know what? I saw that server leave.
He was a white guy
with rugged features,
dark eyes, and dark black hair,
roughly about 6'1...
Wait, wait, damn, how did you
peep all of that?
Detective Amy never dies.
We gotta ID this person
on external cameras.
No.
Aminah, don't you have a list
with photos of all the servers
that worked last night?
Yeah, I do. Hold on.
Take a look at the caterer's face sheet.
Okay. Do you recognize anybody?
He's not on the list.
Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Okay, that guy
was giving suspect energy,
but, but, why would somebody drug you
at your house party?
You don't have any enemies.
You don't even have enemies
in the cyberspace.
Oh my God.
Edi, bring up the camera footage
from last night
between 11 PM and midnight,
and put it on monitor one.
Of course, Carol.
But I must remind you,
after 11 PM, I'm systems asleep.
And the only footage recorded
are from the front door
and back door cameras. It's limited.
That's fine.
Let me just see what you have.
Yo, why you turn them off at 11?
'Cause cats and squirrels,
they go in front of the monitor
and it alerts Edi and he wakes me up.
Yo, how do you...
how do you get it in here?
His server's behind there.
A little old mini data
center. It's his brain.
Wait, wait, wait,
who's that right there leaving
out from the back
and coming around the corner?
Oh my God, that's him leaving.
But it's only his profile,
you don't see his whole face.
No, that's just enough.
We can email this to my old unit,
see if they can ID him, run his name,
and possibly even bring him in
for questioning.
Wait.
What?
- He knows who I am.
- Who?
Oh my god, this is insane.
They practically bragging about
what they did to you.
Okay, y'all been
speaking techenese all day.
Can you please explain to me
what's going on?
Spell it out.
Okay.
So they're guys who use
the new rideshare app PKTS
to traffic young women
and to sell them for cryptocoin
on the dark web.
I had on a simple disguise.
I used Chain Reactor and Edi
and I found this guy
that uses Hello Video
and the PKTS network.
I attacked him and I tased him,
but he is in custody
and he is now a registered sex offender.
You did what?
Auntie Carol, that's crazy.
No, It's beyond crazy.
It's illegal. And bad ass as fuck!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Give me some!
So hype!
Oh, wait.
Hold on. Hold on.
But they drugged you.
How did they get to you and
then the drugging of it all?
Because I made a mistake.
I stupidly sent a message
as the "Wig Woman",
and I uploaded a photo
of the wig and the folder.
When you upload an image,
you right click the video source
and you'll see exactly
where the IP address is
and where the message came from,
and I didn't encrypt the message.
Okay, we need to get on this quick.
- I should call Rick.
- No.
This server guy knows where I live.
And who's to say the police
bring this to justice?
Him or somebody else could do
something worse.
Aminah was almost abducted
by the people in this network.
It could take Greer
and his team days or weeks
to get this site down.
Okay.
What ya thinking?
Whatever you wanna do, Auntie,
I'm down.
We go after them.
And everyone else in our way
to this PKTS network.
Tonight, as the Wig Woman,
we send them one last
and final message.
Okay, vigil-aunties.
Hold on, how you expect us to do that?
I mean...
I don't want to lose my pension
getting caught up in some mess.
Of course not. It'll be quick.
All we need is wigs
and some sexy outfits.
Oh, don't worry about that.
I got you covered.
Okay, I'll use Chain Reactor
to map out their block chain trails
and get their crypto addresses.
I will pass that information
to you, Aminah.
Okay, and I'll use their crypto addresses
and I'm gonna hack them one by one.
I'm gonna get the IDs, names,
addresses,
and license plate numbers.
We're gonna get them in the PKTS rides.
And I'll pass that to Sharon.
Here, take these tase strips.
The tase what who?
It's a prototype I developed years ago
to combat sexual assault on campuses.
It's a band-aid-like strip on a key ring.
You tear it off, place it on the skin,
and press that button.
It'll light up 35,000 volts
will rip through the skin
and attack their body nerves.
Whoa.
I needed these in my detective days.
Why don't you just sell this
to the police union?
- Didn't pass safety codes.
- Oh.
We are about to fry these fools.
Here, make sure you order
your PKTS ride
from a fake account
in a different location, okay?
Here, I'll track you
and make sure that we
have your location at all times.
Sharon, you're gonna wear
a different every time.
- Here, put that on.
- What is it?
- Put it on.
- A mask?
I'm not wearing this superhero stuff.
No, ma'am. No, ma'am.
Fine. No mask.
I mean, but you mean to look like...
Yeah.
See? Yes.
No, what? No I don't.
Uh-uh. No.
And why I got to be the bait?
Why I got to get my wig knocked
sideways and crooked?
Because I am tracing the block chain.
And I'm hacking.
You're the detective.
Retired.
And fine.
You get in that car, and you
tase them till they pass out.
Bait, catch and destroy them.
Don't stop
I thought you slow, girl
I'm going to speed it up
We all put it down, hold it down
But you're going
to want to try to keep up
Don't stop
Show you how I do my thing
I'ma show you how I do my thing
Show you how I do my thing
I'ma show you how I do my thing
Show you how I do my thing
I'ma show you how I do my thing
Show you how I do that
I'ma show you how I do my thing
Show you how I do that thing
I'ma show you how I do that, do that
- Any leads yet?
- Nope.
But he was real noisy on here
after he drug me.
Now nothing. No messages. No rides.
Hey, don't forget my
birthday gift for y'all
is coming tomorrow.
We need to get our beauty
rest for Noemi getting here
with them heels on and get us together.
We'll get him.
Oh, we got him.
Girl, you've manifested that.
Here, take a look.
Check it out.
He cashed out on some PKTS
crypto at an exchange center
in Evanston about three days ago.
His ID and his bank account
information is low,
but I just need to hack this
temporary cross-site script
and... boom.
That's him.
Antonio Ticer Ciccarelli.
Okay, wait.
If he doesn't do any PKTS rides tonight,
how are we gonna get to him?
Oh, we can send him some
malware through phishing
and we get him in a honeypot.
English, please.
Okay.
So phishing is
when you trick somebody online
into providing sensitive information
by clicking the link
and then you hack them.
But a honeypot is a digital trap
to deflect someone
and then you hack
into their computer system.
I mean, I think he'd be
too smart to fall for phishing,
but a honeypot could work.
I know my honeypot works.
Girl. Go ahead.
We just need his Wi-Fi network
and we're in his system.
Edi, pull up the probabilities
of a digital trap
on a virtual network
and put it on screen one.
Sure thing, Carol.
There you go.
By my estimation,
your probability of over-the-air access
to a virtual private network
is less than 17%.
Okay, put those probabilities to 97%.
Thinking here.
Well, if you release
a remote access Trojan
through the Wi-Fi network,
you could gain full access
and have remote control
of someone's systems.
Okay, prep a remote access Trojan
that can be released through
a wireless network
and save it to my drive.
Sure, but do I need to warn you
of the legal ramifications
for releasing this malware?
No. Override. Complete this action.
I don't know what it just said,
but I can tell by the looks of your faces
that we're gonna need his Wi-Fi network
in order for this to work, right?
Correct.
Okay, how the hell are we
supposed to do that?
Because don't you need
to be near somebody's house
or apartment
to get their Wi-Fi network name?
Yep, that's gonna be you.
- You who?
- You.
That's what you gonna do.
When you say
I'm gonna do it, you mean me?
- I mean you.
- Like, I'm gonna do it.
You're gonna do it. You.
- Me.
- You.
- Yes.
- Mm-hmm.
- It's all on you.
- You.
- Me.
- You.
- Yes.
- Oh, dear God.
Fine. Me. I'm retired.
Got me out here in the middle
of the night doing this.
This is better be quick, Carol.
There's too many Wi-Fi networks
we can pick up in this alley.
- I can't tell which one is his.
- We're not close enough.
Get closer.
- Get closer? Who?
- You.
- Me.
- You.
How the hell am I supposed to do that?
Just take that device
and get close enough
to his house in the backyard.
I'll drop the Trojan virus
on his network and we're out.
It'll take five minutes.
You owe me a spa day.
And I want the most expensive
treatment they've got.
I want a 24-karat gold facial
and a full hand massage.
Okay, fine.
We'll just talk over the air pods.
The air pods? Where's the air pods?
I've got the air pods. They're right here.
Okay, take the air pods.
We'll talk over the air pods.
Then we're out
in five minutes. Come on, go.
What?
Don't point that thing at me.
I will break it.
- I swear to God I'll break it.
- Okay.
Okay, I'm here, you get it?
Oh my goodness. You just got there.
I need a couple of minutes.
It's dark back here. Hurry up.
All right, all right.
Just a little. Lift the device.
Lift the device a minute. Lift it. Lift it.
Right.
No. All right, come on!
God. It's still not close enough.
- Just a few more feet.
- Okay, okay.
Almost, almost.
I think.
Sharon.
- Sharon.
- Yo...?
Carol. Carol, I can't hear...
- I gotta get...
- Who is Carol?
And who are you?
Drop it.
Turn around.
Listen, I was just...
Carol.
You wouldn't be a friend of Dr. Carol.
The birthday girl.
Huh? The Wig Woman?
That'll be up on Hello Video's
message board tonight.
Listen, I don't know
what you're talking about.
Carol is my golden doodle.
And se snuck her ass up
in your yard and I...
You know what? Forget her.
She'll come home at some point,
just please, put the gun down.
And delete the photo.
I'll just ease my way up out of here.
I don't think so.
Why are you trespassing at my house?
Working the streets of Chicago.
You learn a few things.
What the...
Step to us again, punk.
Well you shouldn't have left me
out there!
Alright you said that already.
What? What's going on?
Can somebody tell me what is going on?
Oh.
Can somebody tell me what is going on?
Did y'all get it?
There were too many Wi-Fi networks
and I couldn't tell which one was his.
My air pods died, and I almost did too.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
This is getting out of hand.
- Way out of hand.
- We've got his phone at least.
He could tracking it, turn it off.
What difference does it make?
He's always been all up in your house.
What if he knows y'all were there?
And his phone is here?
What if he comes up back here?
No, no, no, no. He's spooked.
That's not gonna happen.
I've seen it before.
Plus, I just had Rick send
a unit over to Antonio's house.
But this...
This has got to stop, Carol.
This is dangerous.
She's right, Auntie.
Okay. Okay.
But I'm gonna extract that data
from his phone,
before he wipes it all!
Do what you wanna do, okay?!
I'm done! I'm out of here!
I'm going to bed!
- Auntie.
- No.
I'm gonna see this through.
There's no turning back now.
Edi, extract user data
from this mobile phone
and run a back trace
on its dark net activity.
Separate its contents into folders,
messages, videos, photos, and emails.
Upload emails,
and send to Sharon O'Hara.
And Edi, make sure you're
on a private network.
I will. Are you okay, Carol?
I hear trepidation in your tone.
As humans, we tend to break the rules.
I've just broken some.
And I'm wondering if I've gone too far.
Mmm, breaking rules is a complex
and nuanced issue
that depends on the context,
the nature of the rules,
and the potential consequences.
Give me an example.
Rule-breaking
justified by ethical reasons,
human rights violations, whistle blowing,
creative and scientific
innovation, or self-defense.
You sound just like him.
Like who?
My dad, Edward.
He was my hero.
What do you think he'd
want you to do in this moment?
Sip a gin and tonic
and get into some good trouble.
Good night, Edi.
Good night, Carol.
Happy Sunday!
- Hey, sweetie.
- What's up?
My birthday gift is here.
Ronnie is setting up in the den
turned mini studio space
and Noemi will be here shortly.
- Great.
- Yay.
Can you all stop?
Now, come on,
I know the last couple of days
have not been ideal,
but this is our last
birthday weekend activity,
and we should enjoy it together.
I'm sorry I put you in an unsafe situation.
That wasn't okay.
Truce?
I'm sorry for snapping at you.
You are just trying to do the right thing.
Truce.
- We love to see...
- Oh, my gosh.
You are so mushy.
Girl!
Now let's get our with sexy,
sweaty, savage on!
Oh, my gosh. Put these things away.
I wish I could do that.
All right, ladies.
We are gonna start with
the most basic element in heels,
which is your.
Yes. Okay.
All right. Here we go, ladies.
And five, six, seven, eight.
Now listen. Don't be intimidated.
Because the heel class is just sexy.
It can be worn out. It can be fun.
It can be challenging.
But most of all, honey,
it is reclaiming our power.
We are tapping into our divine femininity
and into our sexual identity.
Yep, I said it
Pay attention now
I might let you get it
Hold steady
And if you tap that,
I'ma jiggle like jelly
And if you're ready for
the boom and the bass
Then keep your hands on this waist
Now tell 'em, say, you can't
handle this wine, wine
Drummer make me do it
every time, time
But you got to try
Put your hands on my hips, left, right
I like that
Yeah, yeah, just like that
Uh, uh, uh
Yeah, yeah
If you're ready to make a move
I've got my eyes on you
I like that
Yeah, yeah, y'all
Oh, shit, shit. I messed up a knee.
Oh, damn.
See, I knew somebody
was gonna get hurt.
, ladies.
Yes.
And happy birthday.
Oh, thank you so much, Ronnie.
That was amazing. That was amazing.
- Oh, so good.
- Yeah.
- She is.
- So, how you doing?
- Better.
- Oh, that's Rick.
I gotta take this.
Noemi, if I don't see you
before you leave,
I'll holler at you later, girl.
All right. Happy Sunday.
Thank you. Thank you.
So you had the fabulous cocktail party.
Aminah said you had some kind
of adventure yesterday.
Then today was a heels class
and you had the at-home brunch?
Listen, I am all for this cozy,
intimate birthday weekend
with a little bit of razzle-dazzle.
Yeah, you could say that.
Uh-oh.
What's going on?
Wait, wait. Let me guess.
It's the Chain Reactor?
Are you still worried
about selling into the feds?
Yeah, that's it.
I'm just hoping they can provide
some guardrails
and not exploit the system.
Well look, Carol, you have all the power.
You know that, right?
Just use it wisely.
Oh, wait. I have one more birthday gift.
Oh, you didn't have to do that.
Oh, it was nothing. I promise you.
I saw it in the store.
It's your favorite color.
And it has all these inspirational quotes
on the back.
Here, let me put your phone in.
It's nothing. You're so welcome.
Thank you for coming.
Thanks for doing this, Rick.
We really needed somebody
to handle this delicately.
- So what you got?
- Oh, here.
Your Antonio perp wasn't
at his house this morning.
I mean, we did a full sweep.
Computers are all fried up
and everything.
Did the warrant include
a seize of property?
No, we need
more evidence than that.
Rick, I emailed you the evidence
in a big folder this morning.
I saw that email.
But it's going to take hours
for us to sift through all that
to escalate it and you know that.
And did you see that article
in the Tribune this morning?
What article?
Wig Woman vigilante
leaving wigs, evidence,
and tased unconscious offenders
for local PD.
What the hell have you done got
yourself into, O'Hara? Huh?
Retirement ain't enough for you?
Or you just want the suits
to snatch your pension?
Look, I don't know what you're
talking about, former partner.
- So...
- All right.
But be that as it may,
the writing's on the wall.
All right?
And it's bound to be spun up
in something much bigger.
So be careful.
- All right?
- All right, Rick.
Let me know.
What are you two doing here?
I'm not doing any more
Chain Reactor work.
In fact, in the next 48 hours,
I no longer own it.
Carol, be honest with me.
You know anything about this?
Are you the wig woman?
Greer, don't be ridiculous.
I've been home all weekend.
Can you prove that?
Account for every hour?
Yes, I can.
And if you don't evidence
to prove otherwise,
I appreciate not being
treat it like a suspect,
when those offenders
are the real criminals.
This is interference
with a federal investigation.
Then go investigate,
and leave me out of it.
Are you sure you want to stand by that?
Be left out of it?
Get to the point, Greer.
Ben, give us a second.
This was found on each perp.
You developed this back in 2019.
I gave you the feedback for this color.
So unless someone broke into
your lab or your home office
and stole this out of a secure cabinet,
I'm gonna need a stronger alibi.
Arrest me, then.
But before you do,
the night of my birthday party
somebody drugged me.
What?
We will talk about this later.
Benny, we done here, let's go.
Be careful, Carol.
There are some dangerous people
that are part of this network.
And they don't take kindly
against the rats.
- Yo, was that Greer?
- Yes. And he knows everything.
- He read the article.
- Oh, yeah.
Rick just told me about that.
- Press picked that up quick.
- Well, Greer knows it's me.
I made those taser strips
when we were still married,
and he helped me with it.
Girl, he pulled one out of his pocket
and cornered me with it.
I'm worried this is all gonna blow up.
No, no, no, no, no.
Rick is our contingency.
He's lead detective, and he
has all that phone evidence.
He's not gonna blow smoke
this way, trust.
Oh, he also told me
about our guy, Antonio.
He wasn't at the house.
He fled, just like I predicted,
which means it's only a matter
of time before they catch him.
And all we need to do is stay cool
and go on about our business.
And on that note, it's been real, y'all.
- What? Out?
- Yes, yes.
Thank you for an eventful
weekend, to say the least.
Y'all know y'all my favorite
aunties in the whole world.
Plus, I really, really needed this,
to get my hands dirty a little
bit and to take my power back.
That's right.
Are you sure it's a good time
for you to go home
with everything happening?
Yes, plus I gotta pick up
my moms tomorrow.
It's time to rehab.
It's time for me to get back to my life.
Mm-hmm.
Noemi has been a great boss
and she's been more
than understanding.
Well, you take care, little girl.
Oh, you haven't called me that in years.
That's how you know I love you.
I'm sorry, a shower coming soon.
Do not do me.
Okay, well, you be careful.
Call me when you get home, okay?
You know I will, and, hey,
you get some rest, okay?
Here's hoping, vigil-aunties.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Okay, be safe.
Bye.
So, you really think is over?
Yes, and I'm gonna
need you to stop worrying.
Okay?
Between Rick, local PD, Greer,
and the feds?
This case is wide open.
He's being investigated. We're good!
Now, we need to do something
to you, Dr. Carol Clever.
You's the bad bitch.
Let's bring it into action.
- Okay? Wig Women, baby!
- Yes!
I need something stronger.
God.
You know, it really did
feel good stepping up
and taking action for Aminah.
But the only action I need
to take right now is a shower.
Girl, I think we both need that.
Mm-hmm.
- Cute phone case.
- Oh, yeah.
Noemi gave it to me for my birthday.
Carol, I'm picking up
some type of audio interference.
The signal bouncing.
Bouncing where, Edi?
Internal or external?
Ah.
Internal or external, Edi?
It's nothing, my apologies.
Was that a glitch?
Or does that thing get high
on Morse code?
Do do, do-do, do do...
No, it happens sometimes.
- Well, I love you, girl.
- Love you.
Hey, come back later, okay?
Because I want to watch a movie.
I'm feeling rom-com in the '90s.
The best of the culture happened
in the '90s.
I like that movie, Boomerang.
Especially that girl
in the room. She's funny.
What the hell?
You've
reached Dr. Carol Cleavers.
Please leave a message.
Hey, Auntie Carol,
so I hacked a backdoor image code
and I've tracked the potential
lead on Hello Video
and it brought me to an IP address.
But something's not right.
It's mirroring the wireless
network at my work building.
It looked like it could be a
Hello Video admin at my office,
but I don't know.
I mean, you probably don't wanna
hear any more about this,
but I couldn't help myself.
Hey, I'ma text Uncle Greer.
Call me back, okay? Bye.
Edi!
Smoke has entered your
photoelectric smoke detector.
It's coming from the kitchen.
Edi, turn off the alarm!
Oh, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Oh gosh!
Oh!
Oh!
- Sharon! What the hell?
- My shroom tea just kicked in!
I was making gumbo
and some of that crab juice
fell in your oven, right?
Are you okay?
It smell good at least.
Carol! Carol! Carol! Carol!
- What is wrong with you?
- Sharon T, are you high?
Yes!
I feel so light, girl. You want some?
No, no, no, no, no, no. Thank you.
Let's just order some takeout.
- Come on. Come on.
- I'm steps ahead of you.
I already did it. I'm way ahead of you.
But girl, I really love to cook.
You like my food, right?
You chew it.
I do, and I know you like to cook,
but why can't we just enjoy takeout
while you're here on your staycay?
And please stop assaulting my kitchen.
It can't handle any more
of your domestic assaults.
Aww.
Now what does this shroom tea entail?
- Oh, are we curious?
- Yes, a little.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
It's a micro dose, but
it's a soothing body high.
Great mental relaxing,
and it just opens up the mind
to the present moment.
You sound like a hippie.
No, I sound like an enlightened woman,
and I'm gonna pour you a cup,
and we're gonna sit out on that patio,
and we're just gonna listen
to the night air and the grass.
- We're listening to grass.
- Yes.
Okay, I'm gonna get the wine.
And the lightning bugs.
Uh-uh, your wine.
We drinking on plant medicine tonight.
- Hey.
- No, no, no, no, no.
I can't. I don't like to get high.
The last time Aminah got me high,
I had to call an ambulance on myself.
I was high until the next morning.
- No, ma'am. No, thank you.
- It's not the same thing.
I promise.
It's light and airy,
and it just makes you believe.
- In what?
- I don't know.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
I think that's my food.
Yes, it is. I'll be right back.
What's this?
What's...
No...
No!
Oh, no. This can't be happening.
- Wait, wait, wait.
- Sharon, what's wrong?
- What's wrong?
- They took it.
They took what? They took what?
Half of my Bitcoin is taken out
of my account.
$33,000 of Bitcoin is gone.
Okay, okay, encrypt your wallet
and change your password right now.
- Change your password.
- How can they do this?
Why not just take all of it?
Okay, okay.
They can't just take your crypto.
- They have to be...
- Hacked.
By Antonio and company?
Mother...
Okay, okay, okay.
- Can they... can they do that?
- I don't know. I don't know.
It could be. I don't know.
- Come with me.
- Okay.
Come on, man. Come on.
I said operator.
No!
They're not gonna be able
to help you, Sharon. Hang up.
Damn it.
What you looking at?
You see this?
This circle represents your Bitcoin.
These ejecting lines represent
all the places they went.
Please, just stop the lines, Carol.
I know.
Whoever did this knew exactly
how to disseminate the coins
and distort the tracing.
It would take days to try to follow this.
In that time, they'll just keep
moving the coins.
So, so there's no way
to find out who did this?
Yes and no.
I won't have Chain Reactor long
enough to track this all out.
Oh, my God.
Ah, these freaking shrooms.
I feel fantastic and furious
at the same damn time.
I need to call Greer.
Carol, someone is attempting
to break through your servers.
I am detecting a great deal of malware
attacking your encryption system.
Well, lock them out.
Back everything up and re-encrypt.
I'm trying.
The malware is plugged
into the system somehow.
It's taking over.
Plugged in?
That can't be.
Wait, wait, wait. How is that possible?
I don't know. A wireless hack, maybe?
Edi, scan all these USBs
and make sure there's no malware in it.
And send a 911 call
to Greer James right now.
On it.
Carol, I'm detecting human
motion activity
outside of the house.
My gun is in my bag in the kitchen.
Should I call the police...
Edi... Edi?
Carol, we gotta get my gun right now.
I have to get my taser.
Wait, wait.
Stay behind me.
Hold on to me, just stay right there.
Come on, come on, come on.
Wait, what. Ouch.
We just want the Chain Reactor.
You give us the source code
and we'll leave.
I can't, the code will take hours.
Well, give me the source code
before it's sold.
Hello Video is mine, Carol.
Isn't it fascinating, Carol?
Tech genius academic
turned vigilante Wig Woman.
Me, fed by day,
watching wanderer by night.
Both of us dancing
between Greer and deception.
You've come to the wrong house.
Edi!
We're in the system.
Lovely phone case, Carol.
And once this software got out,
the government would have
put us out of business.
Noemi and I
have been working together
for three years on Hello Video.
She's the admin, and
I keep the feds off her trail.
Chin-ching!
No!
Why are you doing this,
we are your friends, why?
Why?
Put the gun down, Benny!
I've always been a better shot than you.
You know it.
Carol, I'm back online.
Edi! Lock the door! And call 911!
- Edi, whose house is this?
- It's your house, Carol.
That's right.
Noemi, you leave when I say you leave.
Bitch, you tried to hack me with this?
Look, I made a bad investment
in 2020, okay?
Look, my company went bankrupt.
Almost lost everything,
but where Silk Road
and now the dark web sites
tried and failed,
I saw promise.
Aminah was almost trafficked
because of your site.
What is wrong with you?
I didn't know that it would
become what it became.
The users, they created their
own underworld dark sector.
I couldn't stop them.
No, you didn't try to stop your bankroll.
Heffa, you are going to jail.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
This was supposed
to be a simple software grab.
The handcuffs? That's on Benny!
- Bitch, please.
- Fuck with my family
or my things...
That's for Aminah, bitch.
Yo, you think she dead?
- She's still breathing.
- Oh.
You wanna know what is crazy?
What about this shit being crazy?
Yeah, you right about that.
Well, mmm...
I think I still feel that shroom tea.
Damn, I thought it was a micro dose.
I know, right.
It's over, sis.
It's over.
You saved us.
Thank you.
Hello Video is been taken down
as we speak.
I'll come check on you.
- I love you.
- I love you too, Carol.
- Oh!
- Oh my God.
It's fine, we are okay.
I'm happy you are all okay.
I'm so sorry about Noemi.
And all of this, Auntie Carol.
It's not your fault.
It's all right.
Listen, I think it's time
for me to go home.
- Oh, yeah, it is.
- Yeah, yeah.
I miss my man.
It's been one hell of a week.
Oh my God, I have a brilliant idea.
You guys, the title of my book
inspired by this weekend.
I'm gonna call it Operation Aunties.
Bam!
I love that. Yes!
That's cute.
You're stil leaving, right?
Don't stop
I don't wanna slow down
I'ma speed it up
Behind the scenes, day one!
Ay-yay!
Just go full out, ladies, okay?
I'm so excited, I'm nervous.
Camera action!
Action.
I think we are in good hands.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Oh, shit.
And cut.
We did that shit!
I like that movie, Boomerang.
Especially that girl
on the roof, she's funny.
That stupid. I'm not gonna say that part.
Will you please... Wendy, stop.
I can't do this with you today.
I don't have the strength. I really don't.
- Hey!
- Bitch stole my look.
Okay.
Okay, good.
So you're over here.
Action!
Oh, someone's in my shot.
Who is that? Hurry up!
Y 'all don't have a bigger size?
Y'all know my head is kind of...
It's big.
When those offenders are
the real criminals.
Well, goddamn, I got it.
Can you say your shit?
Fuck.
How the hell I am supposed to do that?
Just get that device
and get close to...
Fuck, I'm so sorry.
It's okay,
let's take it from the top,
I forgot to say "sparkle".
You are turning into a real problem.
Girl, this some good stuff.
Action!
- His mouth...
- You slap my mouth.
I'm gonna film you now.
You're on Candid Camera.
TJ, yes!
One, two, three... Operation Auntie!
Wait, wait, wait.
- At the end of the day.
- What?
As crazy as this world is,
everybody, all you gotta do is...
Sparkle!
Mwaka Bapazi, Bezala Bezala!
Song is sexy,
song is flexy, Sizo Busha
Sizo Busha!
Shunga in two,

Koloka pa!

Two by two, jumping four by four
Shoddy came with a best friend
Got a bench, but I bet you want more
What's the stuff?
Just jump to the floor
What? What? What?
Today the who are you?
The two that I know
One turn, one second speed,
cause we're here
Turn up the music, make
our songs sing some blues
- Hey, TT girl, what's up?
- How'd the date go?
Why'd you turn off your location?
Girl, it was great.
But see, I didn't know
if I was gonna be fast,
so I didn't need you tracking me, okay?
He smells so good. Oh my god.
Send me a pic, I wanna see.
- How you getting home?
- Girl, relax, okay?
I called a PKTS ride.
It should be pulling up shortly.
Can't wait till you got in the car?
Ugh, these millennial men
have no manners. I can't.
Girl, it is fine, okay?
I told him he could go.
Girl, I'm a lady, and I'm trying
to get a second date.
Wait, is that a toilet flushing
that I just heard in your background, girl?
It's... it's just 11:30!
What's the tea going on
over there in your manor,
Dr. Cleaver?
Bitch, is that blush and contour...
Okay, you know what?
I am grown, I have company,
and don't ask me anything else.
Thank you.
Ooh! He's handsome, Aminah.
Hmm. So then why you calling
me, Ms. Brown,
if you clearly over there
entertaining company?
Anyway, did you see this year's
crypto projections?
A billion in losses.
Did you sell like I told you to?
Girl, yes.
PKTS thinks that they are the
new crypto on the messiah
but I cashed in after I hacked
into the exchange in Evanston.
Okay? Peep the long lead projection.
Aminah, you could go to jail
or be fined for hacking those.
- Please don't do that again.
- Let me tell you something.
Some rules are meant to be broken.
Just call me the crypto Robin Hood,
but it's Robyn with a Y.
What am I gonna do with you?
Listen, turn on your location so
I know when you got home, okay?
- I mean it, Aminah.
- Okay, done.
All right. And my car
is coming up right now,
so I'll text you when
I get home, bestie, all right?
- I love you.
- Bye! I love you.
She's a mess.
- Still didn't tell her?
- About?
About us.
And I see you still
don't have your ring on.
- It's complicated, Greer.
- Complicated, maybe.
But divorced couples get back
together all the time.
Getting back together?
We never discussed that.
I wonder why.
Greer!
Hey, I'm Aminah.
Hope you got water.
Good, 'cause I need it.
PKTS, the
world's first crypto-based
rideshare app.
Thank you for using cryptocurrency
and block chain to order this ride.
Buckle up.
You reached Aminah,
leave a message or just text me
like the rest of the world.
Bye!
Hey, Aminah. What's going on?
You said you were headed home.
Call me. Or at least text
me and let me know you're fine.
Geez, this girl.
Hey, girl, hey. What you still doing up?
Is that the decolletage exposed
and the girls sitting
propped up? Oh, my God.
Who is at your house? Tell me now.
Stop. Hey, girl.
Listen, do you still
have a connect to that unit
you used to work with?
- Rick's police unit?
- Yeah.
Yeah, why?
Step out of the vehicle.
Cryptocurrency,
like Bitcoin or PKTS,
that use block chain technology,
could be used to achieve racial
and gender equity and justice.
However, with the rise
of transactions using crypto
on the dark web,
assailants have gotten wise
to their crypto being monitored.
And to answer that issue,
I created Chain Reactor,
the only software in the world
that can trace every transaction
using crypto or block chain,
including on the dark web.
Since its inception five years ago,
federal agents in the US have hired me
as an independent contractor
to assist them
in crypto block chain cases.
I am still a professor
at the University of Chicago,
specializing in computer
science and advanced systems,
but I'm a busy woman
and I wanna get back.
Ugh, no, I shouldn't probably
say that last part, huh?
What do you think, guys?
What are your thoughts?
- Pretty good.
- Nice.
Let's get that last part out, right?
Oh, a cam.
Hi.
I'm here. Where are you?
Alright, well thanks
for the feedback, guys.
I just, I don't know,
I have ethical concerns
selling the Chain Reactor to the Feds.
I mean, tracing everyday people
and spying on them?
That's not what I had in mind
for the software.
But with the sell,
I can finally open that institute
I've been talking about forever, right?
That's it.
Any more questions
before we wrap it up?
I got a question, you ready
to turn it up, birthday girl?
- Oh, you in a Zoom?
- Yes, clearly.
Okay. Sorry, guys.
- Can you please...?
- Wait. Where are your pants?
- Oh, shit!
- Nice carral...
You might wanna work that out.
So can you just email me your
questions and I'll be, uh
thank you. Bye.
Sharon!
I could kill you!
Thank God that was just
a rehearsal presentation.
Oh my God, biker shorts
are the new skort, girl.
They don't care.
I still have to be professional
with my colleagues
at the university.
- For a Zoom?!
- Yeah.
Okay, I'm sorry
I came unannounced, alright?
What is it with your surprise visit?
I can't just pull up on my bestie?
Plus it's your birthday soiree weekend.
It is not a soiree,
it is an at-home cocktail party.
And if you order a stripper,
I will actually disown you.
And no, you can't just pull up.
Wait, you're bags are here.
Uh-huh.
What happened with Dr. Mike?
Throuple combo didn't land well?
Correct, I'm leaving Mike.
Did I tell you that I made
six figures in Bitcoin
on top of my pension?
Oh, and the world is literally my oyster.
Your what?
I thought you were gonna ease him
into the open marriage thing.
You just had your ten-year
wedding anniversary.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You trying to move in?
Here?
Carol, will you stop being so dramatic?
God, I just need a few days
in the Clever Manor.
You got plenty of space,
you won't even know I'm here.
That's loud. That's my phone.
The champagne and edibles
are giving me the munchies.
Hey, can you leave it out
at the front door?!
Thank you!
What?
You didn't ask if I wanted something.
And don't change the subject.
Is this a separation you're talking,
or are you talking about divorce?
Carol, there's
activity at the front door.
I believe it's a food delivery.
Oh, hush it, you dumb robot.
She knows what it is.
- It's Edi.
- It's weird and creepy.
Is that Sharon I hear?
Hello, Sharon.
Uh-uh. Do not talk at me.
Do not talk at me.
I don't know you like that.
You know what?
This thing gonna come alive,
and it's gonna attack your ass.
It's gonna rebel. But that's okay, roomie.
I'm here to protect you. Newly retired.
Detective Sharon O'Hara at your service.
- Hey, Aminah, baby. You good?
- Hey, y'all.
How you feeling, sweetie?
Oh, my God, I'm fine. Damn.
Did somebody order food?
Yes, thanks for
grabbing it for me.
- You want some?
- Oh, no, thank you.
I gotta watch my figure.
- How are you really feeling?
- I mean, I'm good.
You know, I've been staying here
with Auntie Carol since.
And I'll probably go back
to my job and my work on Monday.
Oh, that's good.
That's really good.
See your friends, go to work,
maybe even get some therapy.
Ease back into your life, okay?
Okay. You know I love y'all.
Now I'm about to go outside
and get some fresh air.
I'll be back in a bit.
Birthday festivities coming up.
Right. Get some normalcy
back in your life.
You can't stay cooped up
in Carol's fortress forever.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Cooped up in my fortress?
Therapy?
Ease back into life?
Sounds like someone needs
to follow their own advice.
Two men are at
the front door, Carol.
His voice is so irritating.
Can we turn it off?
No. You're visiting. Edi lives here.
He's irritating.
Greer, what are you doing here?
Carol, this is my new partner,
FBI agent Benjamin Samael.
The office clerk said
that you were working from home,
so we came over.
I thought they make house calls
when someone's in trouble.
- It's about Aminah's case.
- What's going on?
It's becoming a larger dark web
operation and it's serious.
Due to its personal nature
and our recent developments,
we couldn't wait.
Dr. Cleavers, I've heard all about you.
I've read all your research,
your time at Google
and the TED Talks.
All the crypto creeps know about you.
Your work on Chain Reactor is stunning.
- Thank you for your service.
- Thank you.
And call me Carol.
The assailant who tried
to sexually assault Aminah
is Landon Peters.
Dark web freak. A driver for PKTS.
He's now been arrested and is in prison,
thanks to you, Carol.
A few days ago, we finished
our initial search
on his web activity and we found
some very disturbing images
and videos on his IP address.
We need to use Chain Reactor
to trace him to this larger operation.
This way.
On his computers,
we found that it's not only
a PKTS driver at night,
but he's a registered user of Hello Video.
A site on the dark web.
Users can trade PKTS crypto coin
for explicit material of young women.
We think that Landon is part
of a network
that's trafficking young women
during PKTS rides.
Drivers exchange the kidnapped
woman for PKTS coins.
Drivers sell the women
to a buyer within the network,
and sometimes the buyer will
record explicit content
of an unconscious victim
and post it here.
Sorry, turn it off.
That could have been Aminah.
I know.
Once Chain Reactor
traces his PKTS block chain,
then routes us to other users
on Hello Video,
then ultimately
to the administrator of the site,
we can take it down and arrest
whoever's behind all this.
The only challenge is that PKTS is new.
It's kind of like Monero.
A coin known for its privacy features.
I know what PKTS and Monero are.
- Get to the point.
- Of course.
Hopefully PKTS can be traced.
Greer, you're
an IRS investigations agent.
What's your involvement in this?
Benny, he's a field agent for the FBI
and he contacted me about this case.
We follow the money
and we end all of this.
I need his block chain address.
It's all there in the folder.
- That's it, it's all there.
- What is?
These Hello Video users are sloppy.
They aren't obscuring their crypto trails.
This path leads
to every transaction location.
You follow the PKTS block chain
and you can identify
everyone involved in this.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Notifying a higher-up at the Bureau.
This is really great intel.
So, can we take the site down
with this trace?
Yes and no.
You need to trace each
block chain address
to their individual accounts.
These guys think they're hiding,
but their IDs
or legal names should come up
if they have crypto exchange accounts,
which they all do.
So, whoever is cashing out most
of the PKTS crypto wallet
is likely the admin of the site.
And whoever is receiving
the most crypto coins
is likely the drivers doing the kidnapping
and other activity.
An analyst can help you map out
all of these block chain addresses
and find these criminals.
I'll put everything on a drive.
We were hoping that would be you.
I'm selling Chain Reactor.
After tomorrow, I most likely
won't have it anymore.
What? To who?
A government agency. I can't say who.
This is your tech baby. Your genius.
Look, I'll put this data on the drive
and your analysts can manually type in
these block chain addresses
and find their IDs and information.
They won't have the ease of
Chain Reactor, but it'll work.
But Greer, this is gonna take days.
Weeks, maybe.
There were dozens
of Hello Video crypto addresses
right here in Chicago.
What are you gonna do about
these local offenders?
This is happening in real time.
If I hadn't checked my phone when I did,
Aminah wouldn't be here.
We're a small unit.
Our only target is the administrator.
So we can get this whole
damn thing taken down.
Greer, we gotta get a move on.
- Are you crazy?
- Noemi!
Hey, girl. I didn't know you were coming.
Sharon called and said
we were having a wine down.
So I bought the wine for
the pre-birthday festivities.
Hey, Greer.
Hey, Sharon.
They were here on business,
they just leaving.
- Bye, Greer.
- Bye, Sharon.
- Get them.
- I will.
So the ex-hubby's
still making house calls?
It was business.
It's a case, Chain Reactor.
I'm working from home.
- You know, how you doing?
- Oh, uh-uh.
Girl, don't think I didn't see
you hand him that watch.
He leave that here?
Oh, my goodness. Are y'all fucking?
Okay, I have work to do,
and it does not include this
interrogation, okay?
I will see y'all in a little bit.
No, no, ma'am.
We are having a girls' day.
So go on and fire up
that patio, grab some snacks,
have Edi play some good old music.
Because the pre-birthday hang
is happening.
Absolutely. Look, the sunset awaits.
Edi, play some '90s R&B freaky music.
No, scratch that.
Play some '80s house music
with inner cuts of '90s R&B swing.
You got it.
Loading up a playlist now.
I hope you all enjoy it.
Okay, so the Terminator
is growing on me.
Oh, this is my song!
Mm!
Mm!
Hey!
Get it, get it, get it.
Gotcha!
That was great,
but you are not allowed
to post those anywhere.
Scout's honor.
Your secret's safe with me.
Hey, Edi, turn it down a little bit.
Sure.
Would you like me to place
another order for wine delivery?
No, thank you. We're good.
I love what you did with Edi.
This whole house feels so leveled up.
What?
She can't get with my AI man
of the house.
- He's existential.
- It's the future.
Well, how did you name it?
Edi? Oh, it stands
for Engaged Data Intelligence.
I know.
It's a little clinical,
but that was my father's name, Edward.
You know, it feels familiar.
Well, speaking of advanced tech,
is everything finalized
with the sale of the Chain Reactor?
Hell, I would have bought it.
You own a data research company.
Why would you need
a crypto block chain tracer for?
Well, I'd find the use for it.
The possibilities
with that thing are endless.
And we do more than just data research.
Okay.
I mean, the offer was attractive.
Who and how much?
I can't say who. It's the government.
I mean, they want it for obvious reasons,
reasons that I can't really get down with,
but seven figures for the software.
High, medium, or low?
Damn! 1.2.
- Million?
- Okay, 1.2.
That is real attractive.
Sharon, did you just request
$30,000 from me on Zelle?
That is the new down payment
for my new house,
and I'll be out of your house by summer.
I can't. Could you cancel that, please?
Are you sure about this?
There's a lot of organizations
that can make a whole lot of use
out of that software.
And the government, they just
gonna try to exploit it.
I mean, they have subpoenaed me
a lot of times, and I'm over it.
I love teaching,
but I still wanna get back
to the community
and open that block chain institute
I've been talking about.
Aww.
Heffa...
You know what? I am done.
You have been avoiding this
all damn day.
What is going on with you and Mike?
Mm-hmm. The divas wanna know.
Okay, I asked Mike
for an open marriage.
We've been arguing ever since.
I just, I don't know.
I just kinda flat lined recently
in my marriage and in my life,
and I just want some adventure,
some excitement.
I can relate to that.
Wait, so you want an open marriage
so you both can sleep with other people?
No.
Kind of.
Didn't he just become deacon?
Yes! And that's part of the problem.
He's so traditional.
And I liked that about him when,
you know, I was a detective
and I was working, working, working.
But now that I'm retired,
I just wanna get lit.
Like, we're at this amazing
halfway point in our lives,
and why can't we just explore
alternative ways
of expressing ourselves?
Okay, well, have you considered
ethical non-monogamy?
What is this?
I mean, it's basically an open marriage
with rules and boundaries
so you avoid all the drama.
Hmm.
Aminah!
Hey, y'all.
- Girl is nice out here.
- Oh, come join us.
Girls wish I could, but I
have to call the caterers again
for this party and make sure all
the delivery's on time,
for this bad bitch turn-up...
It is just a cocktail party,
with fast hors d'oeuvres and food.
- It is not a blowout.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
And wine makes me sleepy,
so I just came up to say hi.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Aminah, we look forward
to having you back
in the office next week.
- I miss you.
- Yeah, I miss y'all, too.
Back to it, turn-up crew. Bye!
Bye!
She's in better spirits.
- It's good.
- It is.
Assholes.
Aw, thank you so much
for coming, girl.
I feel so much
more on the birthday spirit.
Oh, good, because Sharon sure does.
And look, we deserve
to get what we want,
no matter what the cost.
Hmm.
I'll see you at the party tomorrow night?
Yep.
Thank you. Get home safe.
- The party's over!
- Oh!
I missed the striper.
- Oh, God, it's my birthday!
- Oh, my God.
You have so much energy.
Oh.
Edi?
Has someone been down here
on my computer?
I'm sorry, Carol. I'm unsure.
Based on my current settings,
you have me systems asleep
after 11 p.m.
Would you like me to adjust the setting
to stay active longer
and continue my sweeps?
No, thank you. That's okay.
- Edi.
- Yes, Carol?
Copy the block chain address
I just traced from monitor one
and cross-reference it to
the dark web site Hello Video.
Pull information of the most
active user in Chicago
using PKTS Coin on the dark site.
Carol, must I remind
you the legal ramifications
for accessing the dark web?
No. Just do it. And show me a photo.
I wanna see his face.
Print everything, Edi.
If I do this, it's for you.
Carol. Found him.
He is currently in the South Loop.
Hola, papi. Oh!
You okay?
- Oh, my God. I'm so drunk.
- Yeah.
I'm so thirsty, papi. Do
you have some water?
You had a fun night?
- Oh, yeah.
- Here you go.
Oh, papi, can you please pull over?
I think I'm gonna throw up, I'm so sorry.
Gracias, Y2hay. Active
user on Hello Video.
You sick son of a bitch! I got you!
Oh my god.
911. What's your emergency?
Hello, oh my god, my PKTS
driver just tried to rape me.
Please help me, I'm on Lake and Rawls.
It's a black truck. Please hurry.
"" PKTS drivers, I'm on to you.
"I know what you're doing."
"Laundering PKTS crypto coin"
"and trafficking unsuspecting
young women."
"I've caught one of you tonight,
and he's in custody now."
"If you don't stop, I'll come for you."
The Wig Woman".
Oh, shoot. Oh, damn.
Yes, Shawn,
we're still going
to need the extra vegan options.
I don't care, you have several
hours. Make it happen.
And I'm still waiting
on an email of all the servers
with their face sheets.
Yeah. Yeah, I'll ask her. Yeah, okay, bye.
Girl, I'm never planning
another party again.
- Good morning, Auntie Sharon.
- Good morning.
- There is mimosas.
- Girl, what?
The sage in this chaotic kitchen, girl,
she going to lose it.
Uh-uh. She loves when I give
her cute little surprises.
This is certainly a surprise.
Why is it so sage-y in here?
Can we open a window?
Oh my god.
- Surprise! Happy birthday!
- Happy birthday.
Yay!
- Isn't it cute?
- Oh, it's something.
You guys, I have a Chain Reactor
meeting in 10 minutes.
- I need to go prepare.
- No, no, you're gonna sit.
You're gonna eat. Two seconds.
Okay.
So the caterer called and he asked
did you wanted to put a number
on cake?
No, I'm 45 and fabulous. No need.
I know that's right.
Edi, turn off the oven.
Turn on the oven fan
and then bring the central air
down to 68 degrees.
- You got it, Sharon.
- Okay, girl. See?
- He has a place in this home.
- It, Carol, it.
It's still a it.
Now, in other celebratory news,
I've decided...
To clean my kitchen and go home
to your hubby tomorrow?
No. I've decided to write a novel.
- Oh, what's it about?
- Okay, okay, okay, okay.
It's about a former detective
who goes to this woman's retreat
and she keeps recalling
all these detective stories.
And then I'ma throw some moments
and then.
Okay, T, so it's like
an Auntie Nancy Drew.
What is it with you millennials
and calling us aunties?
I'm still bad and bougie.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Hold on, hold on, because
auntie is a term of endearment.
Oh, I like it.
Anyway, I'm work shopping titles.
Check it.
Darling Detective
and the Happy Coochie.
What ya think?
Let's keep work shopping.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- How's party planning going?
- Planning is going.
Things are gonna be
very lovely and exquisite.
Ooh, and I invited Uncle Greer.
I don't wanna hear anything about it.
Oh, speaking of which.
Yeah.
We still haven't circled back
to that Greer sneaky link
you keep glossing over.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Greer?
Sneaky link?
- Uh-huh.
- Girl, what's that tea?
No tea.
Okay? He came over a few weeks
ago and left his watch.
We're just reconnecting. No big deal.
Oh, come on, sweetheart! You're nice!
Folks get back together
after the divorce all the time.
There is nothing wrong with that.
Oh, my God,
you are getting back together?
We're not getting back together.
We are just working through things.
We're just talking about it.
How long has it been
since y'all been divorced?
Three years.
You know,
a lot of couples didn't make it
after the pandemic.
And I just think
all of this time and space apart
is gonna help you guys see how
much you mean to one another.
What?
We're not talking about me.
Today is about you.
Carol, your
meeting is in five minutes.
I've turned on your computers
to get you a head start.
No! Don't listen to him.
- Come on.
- I love you.
And, um, don't worry about it.
I got it. Just go, just go.
Happy coochie, girl? Really?
Well, it is.
As you all know,
since its inception,
I've worked a number of successful
federal and state cases
with the help of Chain Reactor.
And now, as this technology advances
and I continue my work as an educator,
it's time for a new home for the software.
Lastly, I'd like to see
an ethics code from your team
on how Chain Reactor
will be safely utilized
in government strategy
before we sign the deal.
Thank you, gentlemen.
Ah! Everybody gather around!
Ah! Is time to sing!
One, two, three!
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear Carol
Happy birthday to you
Okay, okay, okay.
Before we continue this
marvelous party, dahling,
I would like to give my bestie,
my sister, and my friend
- her birthday gift.
- It better not be a stripper.
I did not recover
from that bachelorette party.
- Sharon!
- No! It's not a stripper!
That's for the after party.
Kidding! Kidding, kidding, kidding.
Okay.
So everybody knows how much
Carol loves to travel.
And I am getting you
two first class tickets
to Greece, baby!
Greece!
Greece!
Greece!
Oh, my God. Thank you. I love you.
- Baby, love you, too.
- My turn, my turn.
Okay, okay.
So, for those of you who don't know,
Carol and I worked together
in Silicon Valley
for a number of years,
and we formed quite
the sisterhood there.
So when I moved to Chicago,
she was one of the very first
people that I called.
And we've been there for each
other ever since.
Now, photo collaging
is one of my hobbies.
So.
On this diamond-encrusted drive
are photo and video memories,
celebrating all of your
fabulousness over the years.
And then you can add more as
you create more meomories.
This is beautiful. Thank you, Noemi.
All right, my turn, my turn,
my turn. Excuse me.
Bad bitch coming through.
To the woman who raised me,
who took me in
when I was just a teenager,
you gave me a home,
and you held my hand
as I walked in my truth.
To my auntie, Dr. Carol Cleavers.
Thank you, I love you so much.
Give it up! She planned this whole thing.
This shit wasn't cheap!
I love you so much.
Well, I'm speechless.
Thank you all so much for coming.
I really, really appreciate it,
and I love you all.
Thank you.
Happy birthday, bitch!
Turn the music back on!
So what did you want to talk about?
Carol, whatever happens between us,
I still want us to remain friends.
No matter what.
What if I want more than that?
Then we take it one step at a time.
I trust your pace.
Okay, but, Greer, I know what I want.
And I don't wanna
come second to your career.
We've been in each other's lives
for years now.
And I love and respect the woman
that you've become.
Well, I need you to date me.
And choose me.
I felt alone in the last couple of years.
Give me a chance.
You remember your birthday back
in Cabo?
Barely.
I took you upstairs.
I hiked you dressed up.
Greer, there's a house full of people.
What if someone comes in here?
Let them watch.
To be candid, I'm married.
But my thing with him is,
you do you, let me do me,
and that's the way it got to be, baby bars.
I'll see you soon.
Carol?
Yeah.
Good morning.
I figured you'd want to get
the day started,
but I didn't want to disturb
your morning rest.
What time is it?
It is now 10:25 am.
Good morning, princess.
Look at you sleepyhead.
You wanna hear how I got laid last night?
No.
Damn. What crawled up your ass,
evil lady?
I'm sorry.
Something's off.
Wait, Titi, what's wrong? Are you okay?
I think I was drugged last night.
What?
How?
We were all together almost
all night last night.
You didn't eat one
of my edibles, did you?
I told you they was way too
strong for you.
No, of course not.
That's not the feeling I had.
I said good night to Greer,
I grabbed a glass of champagne
from one of those servers,
and the next thing I know,
I'm up in this bathroom throwing up.
Okay, hold on, hold on...
You sure you just weren't
really, really drunk?
No, I only had 3 or 4 glasses
of champagne,
and I didn't even say goodbye
to the guests.
You know I wouldn't leave
without doing that.
Yeah, that's true.
I just thought you were tipsy
and you went to lay down.
You know what?
You know what? I saw that server leave.
He was a white guy
with rugged features,
dark eyes, and dark black hair,
roughly about 6'1...
Wait, wait, damn, how did you
peep all of that?
Detective Amy never dies.
We gotta ID this person
on external cameras.
No.
Aminah, don't you have a list
with photos of all the servers
that worked last night?
Yeah, I do. Hold on.
Take a look at the caterer's face sheet.
Okay. Do you recognize anybody?
He's not on the list.
Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Okay, that guy
was giving suspect energy,
but, but, why would somebody drug you
at your house party?
You don't have any enemies.
You don't even have enemies
in the cyberspace.
Oh my God.
Edi, bring up the camera footage
from last night
between 11 PM and midnight,
and put it on monitor one.
Of course, Carol.
But I must remind you,
after 11 PM, I'm systems asleep.
And the only footage recorded
are from the front door
and back door cameras. It's limited.
That's fine.
Let me just see what you have.
Yo, why you turn them off at 11?
'Cause cats and squirrels,
they go in front of the monitor
and it alerts Edi and he wakes me up.
Yo, how do you...
how do you get it in here?
His server's behind there.
A little old mini data
center. It's his brain.
Wait, wait, wait,
who's that right there leaving
out from the back
and coming around the corner?
Oh my God, that's him leaving.
But it's only his profile,
you don't see his whole face.
No, that's just enough.
We can email this to my old unit,
see if they can ID him, run his name,
and possibly even bring him in
for questioning.
Wait.
What?
- He knows who I am.
- Who?
Oh my god, this is insane.
They practically bragging about
what they did to you.
Okay, y'all been
speaking techenese all day.
Can you please explain to me
what's going on?
Spell it out.
Okay.
So they're guys who use
the new rideshare app PKTS
to traffic young women
and to sell them for cryptocoin
on the dark web.
I had on a simple disguise.
I used Chain Reactor and Edi
and I found this guy
that uses Hello Video
and the PKTS network.
I attacked him and I tased him,
but he is in custody
and he is now a registered sex offender.
You did what?
Auntie Carol, that's crazy.
No, It's beyond crazy.
It's illegal. And bad ass as fuck!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Give me some!
So hype!
Oh, wait.
Hold on. Hold on.
But they drugged you.
How did they get to you and
then the drugging of it all?
Because I made a mistake.
I stupidly sent a message
as the "Wig Woman",
and I uploaded a photo
of the wig and the folder.
When you upload an image,
you right click the video source
and you'll see exactly
where the IP address is
and where the message came from,
and I didn't encrypt the message.
Okay, we need to get on this quick.
- I should call Rick.
- No.
This server guy knows where I live.
And who's to say the police
bring this to justice?
Him or somebody else could do
something worse.
Aminah was almost abducted
by the people in this network.
It could take Greer
and his team days or weeks
to get this site down.
Okay.
What ya thinking?
Whatever you wanna do, Auntie,
I'm down.
We go after them.
And everyone else in our way
to this PKTS network.
Tonight, as the Wig Woman,
we send them one last
and final message.
Okay, vigil-aunties.
Hold on, how you expect us to do that?
I mean...
I don't want to lose my pension
getting caught up in some mess.
Of course not. It'll be quick.
All we need is wigs
and some sexy outfits.
Oh, don't worry about that.
I got you covered.
Okay, I'll use Chain Reactor
to map out their block chain trails
and get their crypto addresses.
I will pass that information
to you, Aminah.
Okay, and I'll use their crypto addresses
and I'm gonna hack them one by one.
I'm gonna get the IDs, names,
addresses,
and license plate numbers.
We're gonna get them in the PKTS rides.
And I'll pass that to Sharon.
Here, take these tase strips.
The tase what who?
It's a prototype I developed years ago
to combat sexual assault on campuses.
It's a band-aid-like strip on a key ring.
You tear it off, place it on the skin,
and press that button.
It'll light up 35,000 volts
will rip through the skin
and attack their body nerves.
Whoa.
I needed these in my detective days.
Why don't you just sell this
to the police union?
- Didn't pass safety codes.
- Oh.
We are about to fry these fools.
Here, make sure you order
your PKTS ride
from a fake account
in a different location, okay?
Here, I'll track you
and make sure that we
have your location at all times.
Sharon, you're gonna wear
a different every time.
- Here, put that on.
- What is it?
- Put it on.
- A mask?
I'm not wearing this superhero stuff.
No, ma'am. No, ma'am.
Fine. No mask.
I mean, but you mean to look like...
Yeah.
See? Yes.
No, what? No I don't.
Uh-uh. No.
And why I got to be the bait?
Why I got to get my wig knocked
sideways and crooked?
Because I am tracing the block chain.
And I'm hacking.
You're the detective.
Retired.
And fine.
You get in that car, and you
tase them till they pass out.
Bait, catch and destroy them.
Don't stop
I thought you slow, girl
I'm going to speed it up
We all put it down, hold it down
But you're going
to want to try to keep up
Don't stop
Show you how I do my thing
I'ma show you how I do my thing
Show you how I do my thing
I'ma show you how I do my thing
Show you how I do my thing
I'ma show you how I do my thing
Show you how I do that
I'ma show you how I do my thing
Show you how I do that thing
I'ma show you how I do that, do that
- Any leads yet?
- Nope.
But he was real noisy on here
after he drug me.
Now nothing. No messages. No rides.
Hey, don't forget my
birthday gift for y'all
is coming tomorrow.
We need to get our beauty
rest for Noemi getting here
with them heels on and get us together.
We'll get him.
Oh, we got him.
Girl, you've manifested that.
Here, take a look.
Check it out.
He cashed out on some PKTS
crypto at an exchange center
in Evanston about three days ago.
His ID and his bank account
information is low,
but I just need to hack this
temporary cross-site script
and... boom.
That's him.
Antonio Ticer Ciccarelli.
Okay, wait.
If he doesn't do any PKTS rides tonight,
how are we gonna get to him?
Oh, we can send him some
malware through phishing
and we get him in a honeypot.
English, please.
Okay.
So phishing is
when you trick somebody online
into providing sensitive information
by clicking the link
and then you hack them.
But a honeypot is a digital trap
to deflect someone
and then you hack
into their computer system.
I mean, I think he'd be
too smart to fall for phishing,
but a honeypot could work.
I know my honeypot works.
Girl. Go ahead.
We just need his Wi-Fi network
and we're in his system.
Edi, pull up the probabilities
of a digital trap
on a virtual network
and put it on screen one.
Sure thing, Carol.
There you go.
By my estimation,
your probability of over-the-air access
to a virtual private network
is less than 17%.
Okay, put those probabilities to 97%.
Thinking here.
Well, if you release
a remote access Trojan
through the Wi-Fi network,
you could gain full access
and have remote control
of someone's systems.
Okay, prep a remote access Trojan
that can be released through
a wireless network
and save it to my drive.
Sure, but do I need to warn you
of the legal ramifications
for releasing this malware?
No. Override. Complete this action.
I don't know what it just said,
but I can tell by the looks of your faces
that we're gonna need his Wi-Fi network
in order for this to work, right?
Correct.
Okay, how the hell are we
supposed to do that?
Because don't you need
to be near somebody's house
or apartment
to get their Wi-Fi network name?
Yep, that's gonna be you.
- You who?
- You.
That's what you gonna do.
When you say
I'm gonna do it, you mean me?
- I mean you.
- Like, I'm gonna do it.
You're gonna do it. You.
- Me.
- You.
- Yes.
- Mm-hmm.
- It's all on you.
- You.
- Me.
- You.
- Yes.
- Oh, dear God.
Fine. Me. I'm retired.
Got me out here in the middle
of the night doing this.
This is better be quick, Carol.
There's too many Wi-Fi networks
we can pick up in this alley.
- I can't tell which one is his.
- We're not close enough.
Get closer.
- Get closer? Who?
- You.
- Me.
- You.
How the hell am I supposed to do that?
Just take that device
and get close enough
to his house in the backyard.
I'll drop the Trojan virus
on his network and we're out.
It'll take five minutes.
You owe me a spa day.
And I want the most expensive
treatment they've got.
I want a 24-karat gold facial
and a full hand massage.
Okay, fine.
We'll just talk over the air pods.
The air pods? Where's the air pods?
I've got the air pods. They're right here.
Okay, take the air pods.
We'll talk over the air pods.
Then we're out
in five minutes. Come on, go.
What?
Don't point that thing at me.
I will break it.
- I swear to God I'll break it.
- Okay.
Okay, I'm here, you get it?
Oh my goodness. You just got there.
I need a couple of minutes.
It's dark back here. Hurry up.
All right, all right.
Just a little. Lift the device.
Lift the device a minute. Lift it. Lift it.
Right.
No. All right, come on!
God. It's still not close enough.
- Just a few more feet.
- Okay, okay.
Almost, almost.
I think.
Sharon.
- Sharon.
- Yo...?
Carol. Carol, I can't hear...
- I gotta get...
- Who is Carol?
And who are you?
Drop it.
Turn around.
Listen, I was just...
Carol.
You wouldn't be a friend of Dr. Carol.
The birthday girl.
Huh? The Wig Woman?
That'll be up on Hello Video's
message board tonight.
Listen, I don't know
what you're talking about.
Carol is my golden doodle.
And se snuck her ass up
in your yard and I...
You know what? Forget her.
She'll come home at some point,
just please, put the gun down.
And delete the photo.
I'll just ease my way up out of here.
I don't think so.
Why are you trespassing at my house?
Working the streets of Chicago.
You learn a few things.
What the...
Step to us again, punk.
Well you shouldn't have left me
out there!
Alright you said that already.
What? What's going on?
Can somebody tell me what is going on?
Oh.
Can somebody tell me what is going on?
Did y'all get it?
There were too many Wi-Fi networks
and I couldn't tell which one was his.
My air pods died, and I almost did too.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
This is getting out of hand.
- Way out of hand.
- We've got his phone at least.
He could tracking it, turn it off.
What difference does it make?
He's always been all up in your house.
What if he knows y'all were there?
And his phone is here?
What if he comes up back here?
No, no, no, no. He's spooked.
That's not gonna happen.
I've seen it before.
Plus, I just had Rick send
a unit over to Antonio's house.
But this...
This has got to stop, Carol.
This is dangerous.
She's right, Auntie.
Okay. Okay.
But I'm gonna extract that data
from his phone,
before he wipes it all!
Do what you wanna do, okay?!
I'm done! I'm out of here!
I'm going to bed!
- Auntie.
- No.
I'm gonna see this through.
There's no turning back now.
Edi, extract user data
from this mobile phone
and run a back trace
on its dark net activity.
Separate its contents into folders,
messages, videos, photos, and emails.
Upload emails,
and send to Sharon O'Hara.
And Edi, make sure you're
on a private network.
I will. Are you okay, Carol?
I hear trepidation in your tone.
As humans, we tend to break the rules.
I've just broken some.
And I'm wondering if I've gone too far.
Mmm, breaking rules is a complex
and nuanced issue
that depends on the context,
the nature of the rules,
and the potential consequences.
Give me an example.
Rule-breaking
justified by ethical reasons,
human rights violations, whistle blowing,
creative and scientific
innovation, or self-defense.
You sound just like him.
Like who?
My dad, Edward.
He was my hero.
What do you think he'd
want you to do in this moment?
Sip a gin and tonic
and get into some good trouble.
Good night, Edi.
Good night, Carol.
Happy Sunday!
- Hey, sweetie.
- What's up?
My birthday gift is here.
Ronnie is setting up in the den
turned mini studio space
and Noemi will be here shortly.
- Great.
- Yay.
Can you all stop?
Now, come on,
I know the last couple of days
have not been ideal,
but this is our last
birthday weekend activity,
and we should enjoy it together.
I'm sorry I put you in an unsafe situation.
That wasn't okay.
Truce?
I'm sorry for snapping at you.
You are just trying to do the right thing.
Truce.
- We love to see...
- Oh, my gosh.
You are so mushy.
Girl!
Now let's get our with sexy,
sweaty, savage on!
Oh, my gosh. Put these things away.
I wish I could do that.
All right, ladies.
We are gonna start with
the most basic element in heels,
which is your.
Yes. Okay.
All right. Here we go, ladies.
And five, six, seven, eight.
Now listen. Don't be intimidated.
Because the heel class is just sexy.
It can be worn out. It can be fun.
It can be challenging.
But most of all, honey,
it is reclaiming our power.
We are tapping into our divine femininity
and into our sexual identity.
Yep, I said it
Pay attention now
I might let you get it
Hold steady
And if you tap that,
I'ma jiggle like jelly
And if you're ready for
the boom and the bass
Then keep your hands on this waist
Now tell 'em, say, you can't
handle this wine, wine
Drummer make me do it
every time, time
But you got to try
Put your hands on my hips, left, right
I like that
Yeah, yeah, just like that
Uh, uh, uh
Yeah, yeah
If you're ready to make a move
I've got my eyes on you
I like that
Yeah, yeah, y'all
Oh, shit, shit. I messed up a knee.
Oh, damn.
See, I knew somebody
was gonna get hurt.
, ladies.
Yes.
And happy birthday.
Oh, thank you so much, Ronnie.
That was amazing. That was amazing.
- Oh, so good.
- Yeah.
- She is.
- So, how you doing?
- Better.
- Oh, that's Rick.
I gotta take this.
Noemi, if I don't see you
before you leave,
I'll holler at you later, girl.
All right. Happy Sunday.
Thank you. Thank you.
So you had the fabulous cocktail party.
Aminah said you had some kind
of adventure yesterday.
Then today was a heels class
and you had the at-home brunch?
Listen, I am all for this cozy,
intimate birthday weekend
with a little bit of razzle-dazzle.
Yeah, you could say that.
Uh-oh.
What's going on?
Wait, wait. Let me guess.
It's the Chain Reactor?
Are you still worried
about selling into the feds?
Yeah, that's it.
I'm just hoping they can provide
some guardrails
and not exploit the system.
Well look, Carol, you have all the power.
You know that, right?
Just use it wisely.
Oh, wait. I have one more birthday gift.
Oh, you didn't have to do that.
Oh, it was nothing. I promise you.
I saw it in the store.
It's your favorite color.
And it has all these inspirational quotes
on the back.
Here, let me put your phone in.
It's nothing. You're so welcome.
Thank you for coming.
Thanks for doing this, Rick.
We really needed somebody
to handle this delicately.
- So what you got?
- Oh, here.
Your Antonio perp wasn't
at his house this morning.
I mean, we did a full sweep.
Computers are all fried up
and everything.
Did the warrant include
a seize of property?
No, we need
more evidence than that.
Rick, I emailed you the evidence
in a big folder this morning.
I saw that email.
But it's going to take hours
for us to sift through all that
to escalate it and you know that.
And did you see that article
in the Tribune this morning?
What article?
Wig Woman vigilante
leaving wigs, evidence,
and tased unconscious offenders
for local PD.
What the hell have you done got
yourself into, O'Hara? Huh?
Retirement ain't enough for you?
Or you just want the suits
to snatch your pension?
Look, I don't know what you're
talking about, former partner.
- So...
- All right.
But be that as it may,
the writing's on the wall.
All right?
And it's bound to be spun up
in something much bigger.
So be careful.
- All right?
- All right, Rick.
Let me know.
What are you two doing here?
I'm not doing any more
Chain Reactor work.
In fact, in the next 48 hours,
I no longer own it.
Carol, be honest with me.
You know anything about this?
Are you the wig woman?
Greer, don't be ridiculous.
I've been home all weekend.
Can you prove that?
Account for every hour?
Yes, I can.
And if you don't evidence
to prove otherwise,
I appreciate not being
treat it like a suspect,
when those offenders
are the real criminals.
This is interference
with a federal investigation.
Then go investigate,
and leave me out of it.
Are you sure you want to stand by that?
Be left out of it?
Get to the point, Greer.
Ben, give us a second.
This was found on each perp.
You developed this back in 2019.
I gave you the feedback for this color.
So unless someone broke into
your lab or your home office
and stole this out of a secure cabinet,
I'm gonna need a stronger alibi.
Arrest me, then.
But before you do,
the night of my birthday party
somebody drugged me.
What?
We will talk about this later.
Benny, we done here, let's go.
Be careful, Carol.
There are some dangerous people
that are part of this network.
And they don't take kindly
against the rats.
- Yo, was that Greer?
- Yes. And he knows everything.
- He read the article.
- Oh, yeah.
Rick just told me about that.
- Press picked that up quick.
- Well, Greer knows it's me.
I made those taser strips
when we were still married,
and he helped me with it.
Girl, he pulled one out of his pocket
and cornered me with it.
I'm worried this is all gonna blow up.
No, no, no, no, no.
Rick is our contingency.
He's lead detective, and he
has all that phone evidence.
He's not gonna blow smoke
this way, trust.
Oh, he also told me
about our guy, Antonio.
He wasn't at the house.
He fled, just like I predicted,
which means it's only a matter
of time before they catch him.
And all we need to do is stay cool
and go on about our business.
And on that note, it's been real, y'all.
- What? Out?
- Yes, yes.
Thank you for an eventful
weekend, to say the least.
Y'all know y'all my favorite
aunties in the whole world.
Plus, I really, really needed this,
to get my hands dirty a little
bit and to take my power back.
That's right.
Are you sure it's a good time
for you to go home
with everything happening?
Yes, plus I gotta pick up
my moms tomorrow.
It's time to rehab.
It's time for me to get back to my life.
Mm-hmm.
Noemi has been a great boss
and she's been more
than understanding.
Well, you take care, little girl.
Oh, you haven't called me that in years.
That's how you know I love you.
I'm sorry, a shower coming soon.
Do not do me.
Okay, well, you be careful.
Call me when you get home, okay?
You know I will, and, hey,
you get some rest, okay?
Here's hoping, vigil-aunties.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Okay, be safe.
Bye.
So, you really think is over?
Yes, and I'm gonna
need you to stop worrying.
Okay?
Between Rick, local PD, Greer,
and the feds?
This case is wide open.
He's being investigated. We're good!
Now, we need to do something
to you, Dr. Carol Clever.
You's the bad bitch.
Let's bring it into action.
- Okay? Wig Women, baby!
- Yes!
I need something stronger.
God.
You know, it really did
feel good stepping up
and taking action for Aminah.
But the only action I need
to take right now is a shower.
Girl, I think we both need that.
Mm-hmm.
- Cute phone case.
- Oh, yeah.
Noemi gave it to me for my birthday.
Carol, I'm picking up
some type of audio interference.
The signal bouncing.
Bouncing where, Edi?
Internal or external?
Ah.
Internal or external, Edi?
It's nothing, my apologies.
Was that a glitch?
Or does that thing get high
on Morse code?
Do do, do-do, do do...
No, it happens sometimes.
- Well, I love you, girl.
- Love you.
Hey, come back later, okay?
Because I want to watch a movie.
I'm feeling rom-com in the '90s.
The best of the culture happened
in the '90s.
I like that movie, Boomerang.
Especially that girl
in the room. She's funny.
What the hell?
You've
reached Dr. Carol Cleavers.
Please leave a message.
Hey, Auntie Carol,
so I hacked a backdoor image code
and I've tracked the potential
lead on Hello Video
and it brought me to an IP address.
But something's not right.
It's mirroring the wireless
network at my work building.
It looked like it could be a
Hello Video admin at my office,
but I don't know.
I mean, you probably don't wanna
hear any more about this,
but I couldn't help myself.
Hey, I'ma text Uncle Greer.
Call me back, okay? Bye.
Edi!
Smoke has entered your
photoelectric smoke detector.
It's coming from the kitchen.
Edi, turn off the alarm!
Oh, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Oh gosh!
Oh!
Oh!
- Sharon! What the hell?
- My shroom tea just kicked in!
I was making gumbo
and some of that crab juice
fell in your oven, right?
Are you okay?
It smell good at least.
Carol! Carol! Carol! Carol!
- What is wrong with you?
- Sharon T, are you high?
Yes!
I feel so light, girl. You want some?
No, no, no, no, no, no. Thank you.
Let's just order some takeout.
- Come on. Come on.
- I'm steps ahead of you.
I already did it. I'm way ahead of you.
But girl, I really love to cook.
You like my food, right?
You chew it.
I do, and I know you like to cook,
but why can't we just enjoy takeout
while you're here on your staycay?
And please stop assaulting my kitchen.
It can't handle any more
of your domestic assaults.
Aww.
Now what does this shroom tea entail?
- Oh, are we curious?
- Yes, a little.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
It's a micro dose, but
it's a soothing body high.
Great mental relaxing,
and it just opens up the mind
to the present moment.
You sound like a hippie.
No, I sound like an enlightened woman,
and I'm gonna pour you a cup,
and we're gonna sit out on that patio,
and we're just gonna listen
to the night air and the grass.
- We're listening to grass.
- Yes.
Okay, I'm gonna get the wine.
And the lightning bugs.
Uh-uh, your wine.
We drinking on plant medicine tonight.
- Hey.
- No, no, no, no, no.
I can't. I don't like to get high.
The last time Aminah got me high,
I had to call an ambulance on myself.
I was high until the next morning.
- No, ma'am. No, thank you.
- It's not the same thing.
I promise.
It's light and airy,
and it just makes you believe.
- In what?
- I don't know.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
I think that's my food.
Yes, it is. I'll be right back.
What's this?
What's...
No...
No!
Oh, no. This can't be happening.
- Wait, wait, wait.
- Sharon, what's wrong?
- What's wrong?
- They took it.
They took what? They took what?
Half of my Bitcoin is taken out
of my account.
$33,000 of Bitcoin is gone.
Okay, okay, encrypt your wallet
and change your password right now.
- Change your password.
- How can they do this?
Why not just take all of it?
Okay, okay.
They can't just take your crypto.
- They have to be...
- Hacked.
By Antonio and company?
Mother...
Okay, okay, okay.
- Can they... can they do that?
- I don't know. I don't know.
It could be. I don't know.
- Come with me.
- Okay.
Come on, man. Come on.
I said operator.
No!
They're not gonna be able
to help you, Sharon. Hang up.
Damn it.
What you looking at?
You see this?
This circle represents your Bitcoin.
These ejecting lines represent
all the places they went.
Please, just stop the lines, Carol.
I know.
Whoever did this knew exactly
how to disseminate the coins
and distort the tracing.
It would take days to try to follow this.
In that time, they'll just keep
moving the coins.
So, so there's no way
to find out who did this?
Yes and no.
I won't have Chain Reactor long
enough to track this all out.
Oh, my God.
Ah, these freaking shrooms.
I feel fantastic and furious
at the same damn time.
I need to call Greer.
Carol, someone is attempting
to break through your servers.
I am detecting a great deal of malware
attacking your encryption system.
Well, lock them out.
Back everything up and re-encrypt.
I'm trying.
The malware is plugged
into the system somehow.
It's taking over.
Plugged in?
That can't be.
Wait, wait, wait. How is that possible?
I don't know. A wireless hack, maybe?
Edi, scan all these USBs
and make sure there's no malware in it.
And send a 911 call
to Greer James right now.
On it.
Carol, I'm detecting human
motion activity
outside of the house.
My gun is in my bag in the kitchen.
Should I call the police...
Edi... Edi?
Carol, we gotta get my gun right now.
I have to get my taser.
Wait, wait.
Stay behind me.
Hold on to me, just stay right there.
Come on, come on, come on.
Wait, what. Ouch.
We just want the Chain Reactor.
You give us the source code
and we'll leave.
I can't, the code will take hours.
Well, give me the source code
before it's sold.
Hello Video is mine, Carol.
Isn't it fascinating, Carol?
Tech genius academic
turned vigilante Wig Woman.
Me, fed by day,
watching wanderer by night.
Both of us dancing
between Greer and deception.
You've come to the wrong house.
Edi!
We're in the system.
Lovely phone case, Carol.
And once this software got out,
the government would have
put us out of business.
Noemi and I
have been working together
for three years on Hello Video.
She's the admin, and
I keep the feds off her trail.
Chin-ching!
No!
Why are you doing this,
we are your friends, why?
Why?
Put the gun down, Benny!
I've always been a better shot than you.
You know it.
Carol, I'm back online.
Edi! Lock the door! And call 911!
- Edi, whose house is this?
- It's your house, Carol.
That's right.
Noemi, you leave when I say you leave.
Bitch, you tried to hack me with this?
Look, I made a bad investment
in 2020, okay?
Look, my company went bankrupt.
Almost lost everything,
but where Silk Road
and now the dark web sites
tried and failed,
I saw promise.
Aminah was almost trafficked
because of your site.
What is wrong with you?
I didn't know that it would
become what it became.
The users, they created their
own underworld dark sector.
I couldn't stop them.
No, you didn't try to stop your bankroll.
Heffa, you are going to jail.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
This was supposed
to be a simple software grab.
The handcuffs? That's on Benny!
- Bitch, please.
- Fuck with my family
or my things...
That's for Aminah, bitch.
Yo, you think she dead?
- She's still breathing.
- Oh.
You wanna know what is crazy?
What about this shit being crazy?
Yeah, you right about that.
Well, mmm...
I think I still feel that shroom tea.
Damn, I thought it was a micro dose.
I know, right.
It's over, sis.
It's over.
You saved us.
Thank you.
Hello Video is been taken down
as we speak.
I'll come check on you.
- I love you.
- I love you too, Carol.
- Oh!
- Oh my God.
It's fine, we are okay.
I'm happy you are all okay.
I'm so sorry about Noemi.
And all of this, Auntie Carol.
It's not your fault.
It's all right.
Listen, I think it's time
for me to go home.
- Oh, yeah, it is.
- Yeah, yeah.
I miss my man.
It's been one hell of a week.
Oh my God, I have a brilliant idea.
You guys, the title of my book
inspired by this weekend.
I'm gonna call it Operation Aunties.
Bam!
I love that. Yes!
That's cute.
You're stil leaving, right?
Don't stop
I don't wanna slow down
I'ma speed it up
Behind the scenes, day one!
Ay-yay!
Just go full out, ladies, okay?
I'm so excited, I'm nervous.
Camera action!
Action.
I think we are in good hands.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Oh, shit.
And cut.
We did that shit!
I like that movie, Boomerang.
Especially that girl
on the roof, she's funny.
That stupid. I'm not gonna say that part.
Will you please... Wendy, stop.
I can't do this with you today.
I don't have the strength. I really don't.
- Hey!
- Bitch stole my look.
Okay.
Okay, good.
So you're over here.
Action!
Oh, someone's in my shot.
Who is that? Hurry up!
Y 'all don't have a bigger size?
Y'all know my head is kind of...
It's big.
When those offenders are
the real criminals.
Well, goddamn, I got it.
Can you say your shit?
Fuck.
How the hell I am supposed to do that?
Just get that device
and get close to...
Fuck, I'm so sorry.
It's okay,
let's take it from the top,
I forgot to say "sparkle".
You are turning into a real problem.
Girl, this some good stuff.
Action!
- His mouth...
- You slap my mouth.
I'm gonna film you now.
You're on Candid Camera.
TJ, yes!
One, two, three... Operation Auntie!
Wait, wait, wait.
- At the end of the day.
- What?
As crazy as this world is,
everybody, all you gotta do is...
Sparkle!
