[birds chirping]
[groans]
You have to leave already?
Yes. My husband is gonna be home soon
and I need to be there before he gets back,
otherwise he's gonna be suspicious, right?
When are you gonna tell him about us?
He needs to know, Riley.
You can't keep this from him anymore.
No. Everything is in good timing, Jesse.
Yeah, your timing.
See? Now, you're starting to understand.
You're going to be the death of me, woman.
[birds chirping]
Get dressed. We leave in 30.
[upbeat music]
[Jesse] I wanna thank you all for coming.
Uh, tonight is a very special
night as we're all here
to celebrate the grand opening
of my new place of business, The Loft.
[cheers and applause]
Thank you. Thank you.
Now, this was always a
childhood dream of mine,
but it was also my mother's dream as well.
May she rest in peace.
This is for you, Janice.
[all] To Janice.
Now, guys, I want you to enjoy yourselves.
Take a look around. But, most importantly,
open up those pocketbooks and buy.
[laughter]
[singer] But I can't
get you off my mind
Tryna hit the spot
Finally got you out, my love. Look at this.
Ooh, nice.
[claps]
[Nathan] Wow.
Mr. Jesse Splinter.
My goodness.
Mr. Nathan Maywood.
He knows who I am. You know who I am?
I mean, everyone knows the
crypto giant Mr. Maywood.
At least, everyone who hasn't
been living under a rock.
Pleasure to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Hey, look, man, I'm a huge fan.
Just wanna come down
and check out the new spot.
And this is my fine piece of art,
my beautiful wife, Riley.
Pleasure to meet you, Riley.
You as well.
Easy there, tiger.
Riley is a retired model.
Retired?
Why is that, may I ask?
No reason. Uh... I was young.
I was 14.
I always knew I wanted to have kids.
And when I met Nate,
I knew it was the right time to stop.
Well, if you ever decide
to give it a go again,
I'd be honored to shoot you.
I will keep that in mind.
Very beautiful wife you have, Mr. Maywood.
Must be nice.
Yes. She takes good, good
care of me, I must say.
One day, I will find love like that.
Now, I truly envy you, Mr. Maywood.
Oh, I mean, you are
living your dream, right?
You are the one to be envied.
Please, guys, enjoy yourselves.
Take a look around.
We have some drinks.
It's a pleasure to meet you both.
Yeah, you too.
Let's take a look. Wow. Look at this.
[mellow music]
[Nathan] Are you serious?
That's insane. I was
just told it was up 400%.
Now you're telling me
there's nothing there?
Well then, figure it out, man.
Damn!
Can someone explain to
me how I lost $50 million
in a matter of hours?
Nate, you know the crypto market.
That's how it works.
Why didn't we see this coming?
Isn't that why I pay you, Calvin?
With all due respect, Nate,
you pay me to oversee your finances,
not to make decisions for you.
You made the decision to
go all in with this coin.
But someone should've told me the risk.
You knew the risk.
Everyone leave.
Calvin, stay.
Is there anything we can do?
I was up till 4:00 in the
morning, crunching numbers.
There's nothing left to crunch, Nathan.
We just took the 400% hit.
We're broke. -What do
you mean we're broke?
I mean, 24 hours ago,
we were a $50 million company.
But after last night's crash,
we're lucky to be worth $50,000.
You're telling me that
the company that I built
is now only worth 50K?
Yes.
-Dammit!
All right. So what if
we sell all the assets,
the cars, the house, this building?
You liquefy all of your assets,
you have around a million cash, maybe less.
But with your lifestyle,
that'll last six months
to a year before you're flat broke.
I'm talking no savings,
no money market accounts, nothing.
And that's if you live modestly.
So, my savings?
That ran out last month with the promo.
[sighs] God.
[Calvin] I'm sorry, Nate,
I have some more bad news.
Yeah, come on. Pile it on.
I was offered a job with the Houston group.
What? You're going back
to the same place that fired you?
That's the whole reason why
you came to work with me.
They made me an offer I couldn't refuse.
Congratulations, man. How convenient.
You wanna start your going away party too?
Damn!
What about the jet?
You don't own it to sell it.
Just like your fleet of cars.
All leases.
The house is your best bet.
I'm sorry, brother.
I really am.
Get out.
[sighs]
[door creaks open]
What the hell was that
all about last night?
I thought you were coming alone.
Oh, baby.
Listen, when I got home to
get ready, he was there.
And he was saying how he
wanted to come with me
and talking about wanting
to spend more time with me.
I... [exhales] -Listen,
I almost pissed my pants when I saw him.
You know what?
I think I pissed in mine too.
[laughs] I did.
Rie, he needs to know.
Like you have to tell him.
Like if we get caught,
it could be really, really bad.
I mean, your husband's a smart man
so I'm pretty sure he
already thinks something.
Well, whether he knows or
not, I'm gonna tell him.
It just... it just needs to
be in the right time, okay?
Time.
You mean your time, yeah?
How about it's time for some of this?
[suspenseful music]
Nathan, I came as fast as I could.
How can I help?
I'm in trouble, Kate.
The crypto market is down 400%.
Well, it's something you
can bounce back from.
I risked it all.
Everything I had.
The deal was supposed to
be for this thousand X coin
that was gonna make me a billionaire,
but instead...
I am sorry, Nathan.
What can I do?
I need a loan.
What about taking a loan
against your assets?
It's all in Riley's name.
She has no idea that I'm
broke nor does she know
that everything's been signed over to her.
This couldn't come at a worse time.
I'm in a new development deal
that I just bought and I
only have 50,000 liquid.
That couldn't buy you
a seat in a poker game.
So what are you gonna do?
Honestly?
I don't know.
Why don't you ask your wife?
Can't do that.
Why not?
Because she hates my guts
and she's cheating on me.
[Katelyn] Oh, my God.
With who?
That I don't know.
And, honestly,
I'm not even interested to find out.
Listen,
let me introduce you to a
few of my investor friends,
and I think they can help.
Thank you, Kate.
You're always there when I need you.
I'm sorry I couldn't do more.
No, it's okay.
I love you.
[Jesse] I know.
I love you too.
I'm gonna tell him tonight.
Tell him what, that you're in love with me?
Yes. I'm gonna tell him everything.
I'm gonna tell him what's going on,
that I'm leaving him.
I mean, he doesn't need
to know with who or why,
but... he needs to know.
I did have love for him.
I wanna run away with you.
Let's just go somewhere.
Like where would you wanna go?
-Look.
Huh?
-I don't know, Rie.
Look, I just opened the business.
My life is here.
Like I can't leave it all behind.
What do you want, Jesse? I mean,
we can't keep sneaking around
like teenagers forever.
We need to start making
some real decisions,
either we're gonna be
together or we're not.
Listen, babe, I love you and, of course,
we are together, but we have
to be smart about this, okay?
Like this could ruin your reputation.
What reputation?
I'm an ex-mid-tier model
turned desperate housewife
married to Mr. Maywood.
Okay. I see you've made your career choice.
Yeah.
-But what about mine?
Like this could destroy mine.
Your husband is a very powerful man
and... I mean, he's
loved by a lot of people.
I mean, we could become villains.
I don't care about any of that.
My family has enough money for generations,
so I'll be okay.
No offense
but I don't have your family
or their generational money.
Hmm.
No but you have me.
And that's all you need.
I guess we could figure it out together.
Uh-hmm. [chuckles]
[indistinct chatter]
Okay. This is now drink two.
[laughs] -What was so important
that you needed to speak
to me about it tonight?
Well, um,
yeah, remember the other day
when we were having lunch
and you thought something
was wrong with me?
Yeah. What's up?
Well...
I'm divorcing Nathan.
What? Why?
I met someone.
And I know...
-Oh, my God.
It's only been a couple of months
but I feel like I'm falling
in love with him.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down.
What do you mean you met
someone and you think
you're falling in love?
You are married, remember?
I know.
But it's not rocket science
that me and Nathan's marriage
has not been what it once was.
Okay. That might be true,
but to get a divorce,
that's a bit extreme.
And who is this mystery man
that I'm just now hearing about?
Okay. See, that's not
the important part, okay?
The important part is
that I am happy, okay?
And... Nathan, he just
doesn't make me happy anymore.
Whatever happened to working through it?
Oh, girl, I don't think we can.
Okay. Okay. Whatever happened
to the vows that you guys made?
Remember? For better or for worst,
till death do us part.
You know, I definitely feel like
this is the "for worst" part.
How does he feel?
-Hmm.
Girl, he does not care. He
does not love me anymore.
We have not made love in months.
He doesn't kiss me anymore.
He doesn't hug me anymore.
He does not love me, Chris.
Okay. So because the spark is gone,
you think that's enough to just go?
Well, honestly,
I don't really love him anymore either.
But what if he still loves you, hmm?
Have you considered that?
- Maybe speaking to him about it?
- I knew it.
[Chrissy] What? -I
knew that you would have
his back if I told you.
-[Chrissy] No.
I'm not having his back.
I'm just... I'm just... I'm just saying.
Listen, marriage is a two-way street, okay?
And so is divorce. And
at the end of the day,
I just... I want you to consider
what you're doing before you do it.
That's all.
And this mystery man, the
one that you so-called love
that... you just met
and that I'm now finding out about,
Riley, what do you even know about him?
Oh.
-[Chrissy] For real.
It's only been a couple of months.
Oh, I'm starting to have anxiety.
[Riley] Okay.
-We need to pray.
We need to pray. Give me your hand.
Listen... no.
-You... come on.
I did and I have been praying.
You're stressing me out.
-No. Listen,
this guy, he loves me.
He sees me and appreciates me.
Nathan, what does he care about?
He only cares about himself.
He cares about money and greed
and it's always about what he wants.
When is it time for me to be happy
and to care about what I want?
What do you want?
Like not what you think you want.
What do you really, really want?
Your prayers ain't even...
you ain't praying good enough.
Give me your hand. -Okay.
Well, pray for me then.
You pray. -You're getting on my nerves.
[dramatic music]
[chuckles]
Surprised to see me?
-[clears throat] No.
I just didn't expect you
to be home right now.
Well, I figured we could
go to dinner tonight
at our favorite place.
The Renaissance?
Oh, my gosh. Babe, we
haven't been there in years.
Which is why I thought
we should go tonight.
Tonight? -That's what I just said.
No, I just... I had this, uh,
event with Chrissy tonight.
She wanted me to go to this mixer.
Maybe tomorrow?
-[Nathan] Come on, babe.
Tomorrow is not promised.
You're always complaining
about me not being spontaneous.
Well, here I am, Mr. Spontaneity.
Okay. Well, um, can you give me
a couple minutes to get ready?
Yeah. Cool. I'll go make a drink.
[sighs]
[dramatic music]
[cellphone ringing]
Hey, what's up?
[Riley] Change of plans.
I got home tonight and he
wanted to take me out to dinner.
I have no idea what's
been up with him lately
but maybe he is feeling
something, like you said.
I don't know. Anyway,
I can't make it tonight.
I totally get it.
You know, this is why it would just be
so much easier if he knew.
-[Nathan] Knew what?
-[Riley] Oh, you scared me.
If I knew what?
Who's that on the phone?
It's Sandra.
Um, I gotta call you back, Sandy.
[sighs] We, um... we need to talk.
Yeah, sure.
So I was talking to my sister
and, um, she's dating this
guy who's into crypto.
And she is scared to tell him
that her brother-in-law is Mr. Maywood.
[chuckles]
Which I think it will be easier if he knew,
you know, because then you could help him.
Yeah, I don't mind helping.
I mean, she's my sister too, you know?
Right. [chuckles]
Yeah, just tell her if she
needs my help, just ask.
Will do.
Now, did you tell Chrissy
that you're going out
to dinner tonight with your hubby?
I did. And she was bummed.
But I told her I got her on the next ones.
Good. All right.
I'll be back in 30 minutes. Be ready.
You know, why don't we just stay home?
You know, I can order some Chinese food
and we can just Tubi and chill?
No, no. Get dressed.
And wear that black dress I like on you.
Ooh.
-[chuckles]
All right? Reservation is already set.
Come on.
Okay.
[sighs]
[dramatic music]
[exhales]
[instrumental music]
[birds chirping]
[Jesse] Hey, Riley, is that you?
Riley?
Expecting someone else?
Like my wife?
[tense music]
[laughter]
Thought you were serious for a second.
Hey, man, I've been working
on my acting skills.
It's working, yo.
-Oh, thank you.
So what's up cousin Nate?
Not much, cuzzo.
Same ole, same ole.
But I think my wife
might be cheating on me.
[chuckles] Yo, you stay
with the jokes, man.
Hey, man, if I'm not
laughing, I'm not happy.
True, true.
What you doing here, man? You're early.
That's exactly why I'm here,
to tell you that we need to do
this earlier than we expected.
I agree. She's already
ready to tell you about us.
Aww, she is such a good woman.
So what's the next move?
[Nathan] That depends.
Does she suspect anything?
Nothing.
She thinks that I'm Jesse Splinter,
the award-winning photographer.
[chuckles]
And here you are,
Frank Harris, my no-good,
slime ball of a cousin...
-Uh-hmm.
Who just got out of prison last year.
Oh, the family is so proud of you.
Hey, don't forget I took that bid for you.
And I told you when you took that bid
that I would make it
worth your while, right?
Yeah, well, $50 million,
that's worth a couple years.
[Nathan] Yeah. More than worth it.
[Jesse] Nate, I appreciate this, man.
For real.
I'mma do good with this. Like I got you.
Yeah, I know.
But you sure you still up for this, man,
or did you really fall
in love with my wife?
Nate, come on, man. You done
know me your whole life.
I mean, like you know I'm
not falling in love. I...
I'm a player till I die. You know that.
Yeah, I know.
But I've seen pictures, man.
You sure could've fooled me.
I had to make it look real, right?
[chuckles] Yeah.
You're right. Sit down.
[clears throat]
So here's what's gonna happen.
In order for this to go smoothly,
I'mma need you to do it.
Do what?
Kill Riley.
What?
-And then we're all good.
She's gone, I inherit
her $250 million estate,
and you get $50 million.
No. Wait, wait, wait. We never
talked about me killing Riley.
That wasn't part of the plan.
The plan has changed, Frank.
That's why I'm here.
So if you still want that $50 million,
I'm gonna need you to do exactly as I say.
Come on, Nate.
I mean, $50 million is
life-changing but murder?
Yeah.
-Like come on, man.
There's gotta be another way.
Nigga, like what?
Like, nigga, you do it.
Like if I do it and the police find out,
I'm back in prison for life
and then I won't see any of that money.
Like why would I risk it all
for everything that I have now?
'Cause you wouldn't have any of it
if it wasn't for me creating you.
Did you forget?
I push one button
and your ass is back in prison.
You don't have a choice.
I put you in this house you're in.
Come on, Nate. Like
what if we hire someone?
No, no.
There are too many strings
attached with that, all right?
We can't trust anyone enough.
Look, man, trust me.
I've gone over all the options here.
Come on, man.
-It has to be you.
This is the only way it works.
Look, what if I have her car crash?
Why don't we do something old-school,
cut the brakes or something?
I don't think I'm making myself clear.
Either you do this or
you're back in prison.
And what if I say no?
And what if Riley finds out about the truth
of who you really are?
Then she'll find out the truth about you.
Don't forget I got just as much
dirt on you as you got on me.
You're just the mastermind, remember?
[chuckles] No, nigga.
The only difference is
you're a convicted felon
and I am a very powerful man
who is loved by other very powerful people.
So don't you ever forget your place
or you'll go right back to
that box that I found you in.
Now, like I said, you don't have a choice.
So you either get on board
with what I need you to do
or I'm gonna call the DA
and tell him to take away
the deal that we made to get you out.
What's it gonna be?
[sighs]
What do I gotta do, man?
I'll call you with the new details
of how this is gonna work.
What you want me to do
about Riley until then?
Keep screwing with her.
Don't change anything.
[chuckles]
Wait for my call, cuzzo.
[tense music]
I'm leaving him.
-Girl, hush.
You sound like the boy who cried wolf.
You've been leaving this man for years.
I know. I just...
I never had a good enough
reason to until now.
Until now? What's that supposed to mean?
I met someone.
You met someone? Rie,
you are a married woman.
How could you possibly have met someone?
I can meet people. I mean,
just 'cause I'm married
doesn't mean I don't have eyes or a heart.
A heart?
So are you in love or is this like?
I'm in love.
[laughs]
Hmm. Uh-hmm. -[Riley] Hmm.
Uh-hmm. Uh-hmm.
[exhales] Be careful, Rie.
I stepped out on my
husband once before too.
And it was the biggest mistake of my life.
I still regret it to this day.
Yeah, well, my biggest regret is Nathan.
[Sandra] Hmm.
I mean, he literally smothers me.
He tries to control what I say,
what I do, how I look, what I wear.
It's like, "Oh, my God, can I just be me?"
I feel like a prisoner more
than I feel like a actual wife.
Oh, baby, that sounds terrible.
It is.
It really is.
[sighs] So a new guy, huh?
Who is he, what does he do,
and what does he want?
-[Riley laughs]
What does he want?
-[Sandra] Uh-huh.
No, he wants me. And
that is all that matters.
[chuckles] Oh, you sound dumb
as a box of rocks, sweetheart.
Okay.
-Hmm?
I hate to break it to you
but every man wants something.
You just gotta figure out what it is.
Now, it's no secret
that the only good thing
mommy and daddy did was
leave us our trust funds.
Maybe that's what he's after.
He has his own money.
He is a photographer
and a successful photographer.
[Sandra laughs] -He is not interested
in my trust fund.
Successful photographer?
[Riley] Yeah.
-[laughs]
If you say so, Rie.
[Riley] Wow.
-[chuckles]
You know, I just... I wish
you would be happy for me
once in my life.
Sis, I am in love.
[Sandra sighs]
That's the scary part.
I was very happy for you and Nathan,
who you're now telling me you're divorcing.
[sighs]
[dramatic music]
[cellphone ringing]
Hey, you.
-[Riley] Hey, you.
-[Jesse] What are you doing?
- I'm about to go
to this photo shoot for one of my friends.
She's a dope stylist and she's trying
to get her Instagram popping,
so she asked me to help.
Gotta do it for the Gram, right?
[Riley laughs]
Whatever.
Are we still on for lunch?
[Jesse] Oh, I'm so sorry, baby.
Um, I forgot I had a
shoot up in NoHo at 12:00.
I can't make it today.
Well, I wish you would've told me.
I already made plans.
-[Jesse] I know.
It slipped my mind.
One of my agents called
me about 20 minutes ago
to remind me and, uh, I've
been scrambling ever since.
I'm sorry, baby.
Well, I guess it's okay.
I was just looking forward to seeing you.
You know I always look
forward to seeing you.
[Riley] Well, not today.
[laughs]
Baby, I gotta tell you something.
Yeah. What is it, babe?
You know you can tell me anything.
You know what? Never mind.
It's not important.
[Riley] Uh-uh. What is it?
You know I hate when you do that.
I just needed some
advice on this new agency
that I was talking about repping me,
but we can talk about it later.
Okay. Well, until then.
[Jesse] Until then.
I love you.
I love you too.
[Nathan] So in order for
this to go down right,
we're both gonna need strong alibis,
'cause when she's gone,
the cops are gonna pick
apart every little detail.
Who were her friends, who were
her lovers, all the above.
Now, I will be at the office working late
along with my assistant, Brianna Hicks,
who I am screwing the shit out of.
[chuckles]
So my affair takes the
heat off of you, right?
Gives me motive, but
the fact that I can't be
at two places at once sets me free.
But you still could have planned it.
Right. That's why it has
to look like an accident.
And that's why you have to do it,
because you are a successful photographer.
You're not a murderer. No
one's ever gonna suspect you.
I don't know about this, cuz.
I mean, why do you wanna do this, man?
I mean, is it even worth it?
[Nathan] I'll tell you a story, man,
and then you tell me if
it's worth it or not.
I was worth a hundred mil
and I lost everything before I
can transfer my crypto wallet
over to my new trust that
my financial advisor Kevin
set up for me.
Now, Riley was a broke,
struggling model when we met, right?
She ran away from her rich parents' house
to try to be a model
against her parents' wishes.
Her pops told her, "Hey, if you
leave, you leave with nothing."
She did. That's when we met.
Now, after we got married,
I told Riley about this new crypto coin
that I just had this gut feeling about.
So she worked a couple of gigs,
saved up enough money to be
able to buy in to the coin.
That same coin that broke me,
Kevin, who I thought was my best friend,
tipped Riley off that the
coin was about to crash.
So she sold her entire
investment in the coin
and transferred her money into a new trust
the day before the coin crashed.
But guess what?
Kevin didn't give me the same advice.
Why not?
'Cause he was screwing Riley.
Damn.
Sorry, Nate.
She never loved me.
She loved the idea of me being her savior.
Anyway, so she secured 250 million.
And make no mistake about it,
that money is mine.
But the only way to get it is if she dies.
We never signed a prenup, so when she dies,
everything comes to me,
all right, and vice versa.
Get it?
So when I get everything,
guess who gets $50 million?
Me.
Smart man.
Now, let's continue.
[tense music]
Riley goes to visit her sister
every Thursday night at 7:00 PM.
She never misses a Thursday
and it's always at the same time
no matter what.
When she leaves, I go back
to the office and work.
We both leave at 7:00.
She gets back at around 9:30
and gets right into the shower.
Now, at 6 o'clock,
you're gonna turn off your phone
and you're gonna leave it on the dresser.
Right around 9:30 when she gets back,
you're gonna come here, you're
gonna park two blocks away.
You wait until you see her car pass you.
Then you're gonna walk to the
house as casual as you can be.
Now, the sliding back door lock is broken.
We never got it fixed.
Don't ask me why.
But that is the door you will enter from.
Now, it still has an alarm trigger on it
which is probably the reason
why we never got the lock fixed.
Either way,
she disarms the house before she
walks through the front door,
which disables the alarm
for about 30 seconds.
Listen to me. This is important.
As soon as you hear her
open the front door,
that's when you come in.
And once you're in,
that's when the fun begins.
That's when you're gonna rob her.
Take her ring, take her Rolex,
take whatever jewelry that
you can find that is out.
Then you're gonna shoot her
and you're gonna leave through
the same door that you came in.
Simple enough.
What if your plan doesn't work, Nate?
It will work.
Trust me.
Trust you?
[Nathan] Yeah.
And when are we supposed
to be doing this again?
Tomorrow night. Thursday.
Tomorrow? Man, I can't do it tomorrow.
I bet you $50 million you can.
[chuckles softly]
[dramatic music]
[exhales]
Baby, I need to tell you something.
What is it? You know you
can tell me anything.
[ominous music]
[Nathan] Damn, Rie.
There was a time when we were happy.
There was, wasn't it?
You surprised to see me?
No. I just wasn't expecting
you to be home right now.
I was so happy with you, Nathan.
[exhales] You were happy making money.
That's all you ever cared about.
I mean, you put the job
and everything else before me.
The job and everything else is
what paid for this lifestyle.
The bags, the shoes, the trips.
It's what I thought you always wanted.
No. I wanted you. That's what I wanted.
I didn't care about all that other stuff.
That was all you.
But I thought I was doing exactly
what you wanted me to do.
I was providing.
And you sure as hell weren't complaining
when you were helping
me spend all that money.
I thought we were building
something together.
No, Nathan.
You were tearing us apart.
I loved you.
I loved you with every ounce of my soul
and you just betrayed me.
It was one mistake.
Kevin was a mistake.
-[Nathan] Really?
What about Jesse, huh?
You know about that?
Yeah, I do.
Uh, I was gonna tell you.
Yeah, but you didn't, did you?
You know what? Screw this.
I want a divorce.
No, Nathan, wait!
[sighs]
Look, we loved each other, okay?
Before Kevin, before
Jesse, and before Brianna.
- Hey, Mr. Maywood.
-[Nathan] Morning, Brianna.
Did you get those samples I asked you for?
[Brianna] Ooh, Mr. Maywood,
I'm so sorry but by the time you told me,
the place was already closed for the day.
Well, I'm sorry too, Ms. Hicks.
Clean out your desk. You're done.
What? Uh, Mr. Maywood, I'm sorry but...
Uh, uh, uh. I'm just kidding.
Just make sure they're on
my desk no later than noon.
You're such a kidder.
Oh, I think you know
I'm more than just that.
Yeah, you're not the only
one that know some things.
I know she's not just your assistant
and I know that you've
been seeing her for months.
I know where you two met.
And I also know that every
Thursday when I'm leaving
to go see my sister and
you're "working late",
that you're out here screwing her.
Look, that doesn't even...
-No, shut up!
Let me finish.
'Cause I also know...
that if we wanna start this thing again,
we could make it work.
Make it work?
Why did you do it, Rie, huh?
I mean, I never... I never
would have stepped out on you.
I mean, you broke me, man.
You broke me when you did.
And I tried.
I tried so hard to make you
happy and, damn, you just...
you crushed me.
It was the biggest mistake of my life
and I will spend the rest of my
life being sorry for it, okay?
Nathan, I am so sorry.
No.
-Please.
I'm sorry too.
No. Don't go.
Please.
God.
He wants to leave you now?
Uh-hmm.
Yup. For the last time.
I'm just trying to figure out
how it went from you leaving him
to him leaving you.
Yeah, I don't know. I mean...
Oh, my God, Riley. What you gonna do?
Uh, I don't know.
I don't wanna sound like
an indecisive crazy woman
and go back on what I said.
Well, I hate to say it but I told you so.
Okay. Sis, really?
-Well, I told you so.
Oh, my God.
-[chuckles]
No, I was ready to leave him.
Okay. And then I walked into the room
and there he was looking
at a picture of us.
And I decided to talk to him.
And we had a conversation
which we haven't done in years.
And that's when I remembered
I fell in love with him.
Uh-hmm.
You know, his charm, his drive, his heart.
His money. -No. Stop that, sissy.
I'll stop. Okay. I'll stop.
That's the last one.
That was the last one.
-Thank you.
[laughs] -Continue.
So it made me realize, though, you know,
I was wrong...
-Uh-hmm.
And I'm the one who broke us.
So why'd you do it?
Do what?
Please, stop. We all know your dirt, Riley.
Girl. Girl. -Stop playing with me.
Whatever.
Why did you do that with
Kevin the first time? Why?
Honestly, I was in this phase of my life
where I just wanted to live and be free,
and I don't know, I got caught up,
I wasn't thinking straight,
and Kevin played on that.
I just fell into his trap.
And Nathan was not the same after that.
Uh-hmm.
That sounds like exactly what
happened with me and my husband.
I was so eager to hit the
streets and be outside.
Right.
And I quickly realized
that I was way better off
inside my own house.
The grass ain't never
greener on the other side.
My husband was my safe place.
So, is there a world where
you two can fix things
and have your happily ever after?
I really don't know.
I mean, we kissed.
What?
-Oh.
It was instinct, you
know, it was my husband.
Okay. Well, what did he do?
Uh, he kissed me back and then,
he said sorry, and then, he left.
I don't know what that was about.
Okay. So have you guys talked since then?
No.
-Hmm.
Okay. So what do you
really wanna do, Riley?
I don't know.
Well, what you gonna do about the new boo
that you was all in love with,
now that you're falling in
love back with your husband?
I know. I don't know.
-You're confused.
I am.
-And it's confusing me.
Well, that's why I need you all. See?
Baby girl.
-Okay.
Look at me.
You only get one chance to truly be happy.
Uh-hmm.
So you have to ask yourself,
what does Riley want?
[dramatic music]
[sighs]
[dramatic music]
Sis, hey. Change of plans.
I can't come tonight.
I'll explain later but
we are on for next week.
[sighs] And I know what I want.
[dramatic music]
[Riley] Hey, you.
Don't go see her tonight.
Riley, what do you care if I'm
leaving or who I'm gonna see?
And why aren't you dressed?
Aren't you going to your sister's?
[Riley] No, I'm not.
I'm staying in tonight.
I wanna spend some time with you, Nathan.
[Nathan scoffs]
Since when did you all of a
sudden wanna spend time with me?
I mean, what is this, some sort of game?
No, it's not a game.
Look, after our talk
and everything you said, you were right.
You were trying to be
everything you thought I wanted.
And now we're here.
And I realized you're
everything that I wanted.
And still want.
-Riley, please.
No, Nathan, please stop.
Look, I can show you
better than I can tell you.
[singer] Want me to kiss you
I just need to hold you one more time
So baby, just come back to me
Come back to me 'cause I need you
Come home to me, baby, right now
[Riley] Hmm.
I remember you used to do that
when we first started dating.
What, you remember?
-Uh-huh.
I used to love your little ears.
[giggles] Don't talk about my ears.
Well, you know they're small as hell.
Shut up.
[laughter]
So what does this mean?
You tell me.
Well, if you still want the divorce,
I'll sign the papers.
It's whatever you want.
I just wanted this last night with you
before anything changes.
I love you, Rie.
But... I don't know what I want.
I do.
Like I said before, it's always
been about the money with you.
So if in the divorce I agree to cheating,
you'll get half.
I know you're broke
and you were gonna divorce
me for the money anyway.
So if you stay, I will transfer you half.
What are you talking about?
I spoke to Calvin. He told me everything.
[sighs]
Son of a bitch.
Okay. So why the urgency, Cal?
And where is my husband?
I'm gonna get straight to
it because I love you both
and I don't wanna see
Nathan go down like this.
Is everything okay?
Why are you acting so weird?
The new coin he invested in
was supposed to hit 400%.
It would have made Nathan a billionaire.
But instead, it took a 400% hit.
Nathan put everything into the coin.
What do you mean everything?
I mean, everything.
Oh, my gosh, not again.
I don't know what he's gonna do, Riley.
[sighs]
Okay. So how much does he have left now?
As of right now, he has a little over 50K.
Oh.
And that's before he liquidates his assets.
I told him all of this as well.
Okay. So why are you telling me this?
Because if it weren't for Nathan,
you wouldn't have anything.
And I know he's too prideful
to ever come to you for help
but, Riley, you have to save him.
Save him?
Cal, I'm divorcing him.
I'm so sorry to hear that.
But that $250 million estate that you have
wouldn't exist if it weren't for Nathan.
I know. And I get it.
Kevin was a crook and he
almost got away with it.
I know you two are having
troubles as a couple,
but he's still your husband.
He deserves your help.
[sighs]
I always felt like the
$250 million was mine.
I know you did.
And it probably should be.
I never cared about the money.
If you agree to stay married,
I wouldn't give you all of
it but I think half would do.
[chuckles]
Come here.
Thank you.
But nothing in this world is for free,
so I would need you to do something for me.
What's that? Tell me.
Well, I don't have access to the money yet.
What? What are you talking about?
Well, Kevin, he took everything from me.
And no one knows, not even Calvin.
Well, how much?
Everything.
-What?
Why didn't you tell me about this before?
Well, I guess we both have
our secrets, huh, Nate?
So you mean to tell me
that we're both broke?
Technically yes, but...
if we get rid of Kevin,
then we'll be $250 million rich.
What do you mean get rid of Kevin?
The funds he stole from
me have a tracker on them.
You know how crypto works.
The wallet reverts back
to the original owner
if something were to happen to Kevin.
You mean if he dies?
Yes.
-Are you insane?
I'm not going to prison for murder.
I can find another way to make money.
Come on.
Or you can give up on your plan to kill me,
and you and Frank help me
kill Kevin and we all win.
[sighs] -[Riley scoffs]
Yeah, I told you I know
more than you think.
How the... listen, Rie, I'm not trying to...
No, no, no, you don't have to
explain 'cause I understand.
I know. And it made sense.
I stole money from you,
I cheated on you, again.
I left you for broke
and you thought if you kill me off,
make it look like a home invasion,
you get all the money and
live happily ever after.
But you didn't know one part.
There is no money.
Honestly... I-I'm not doing it, okay?
I don't care.
-Wait.
So you were gonna kill me,
but you're not gonna kill
the man who tricked me
into having an affair?
Oh, no. What are you talking...
that's different, okay?
I wasn't gonna get my hands dirty.
And what do you mean tricked you?
Yeah, Kevin is the one who told me
you were seeing another woman.
And I was so upset
that I just wanted to get
back at you and... [sighs]
I was never even into Kevin like that.
I never knew the reason why.
[scoffs]
You could have just asked me, Rie.
I know. I know it was stupid.
But the past is behind us
and all we can do now is
just look to the future.
Oh, no.
Oh, no? What?
He's about to be here any minute now. I...
To kill me?
[dramatic music]
Yeah, look, I'm sorry, Rie.
I wasn't thinking and I let my
emotions get the best of me.
Oh, forget your sorry speech,
until all of this is behind us
and we are laughing all
the way to the bank.
Now will you do this for me?
Or should I say with me?
And how do I know that
you just won't run off
with the money and leave me for dead?
You don't know.
You're just gonna have to trust me.
All right. Look, I'm gonna
go and deal with this.
You wait here.
I don't want you getting yourself hurt.
Okay. Be careful.
-I will.
[suspenseful music]
[Nathan] Hey, Frank. Hold it,
man, it's not going down and...
yo, what the hell you doing, man?
[gunfire] -[glass shattering]
[dramatic music]
[groans]
[gunshot]
[gun clicks]
[suspenseful music]
[Riley] Wait, wait, no!
-[gunshot]
911. Please hurry.
-[gunshot]
He just shot my boyfriend. Please.
I think he's gonna kill me.
Please just hurry, please.
What the hell are you doing?
If you thought I was gonna let you kill me
and get away with it, nigga? You crazy.
[sirens wailing] -What?
I don't understand.
You just killed Kevin.
Wait. What?
What the!
-[sirens wailing]
Please somebody help me! He's crazy!
Please help me.
[Officer Harris] Put the gun down
and your hands behind your head.
Please, listen!
This man broke into my house.
I was just defending myself.
[Officer Harris] Get on the ground now!
Listen to me!
[Officer Harris] Do not make me use force.
I'm being set up.
-Now!
[sirens wailing]
[Detective Duncan] So again...
your husband comes home and
he finds you two together?
Yes.
[Detective Duncan] And
what were you two doing?
Look, the reason why I asked, Ms. Maywood,
is because Mr. Kevin Jones
was wearing a mask and gloves.
Detective, what is... what is the point
of this line of questioning?
My sister has obviously
been traumatized today
and she doesn't need to be treated
like she did something wrong.
You know, my apologies, Ms. Milton.
You're right.
Look, I'm just trying to connect the dots.
That's all.
It's okay.
Um, Kevin and I, we used to...
role play and I was supposed
to be the damsel home alone
and he was the intruder.
He was supposed to tie me up.
Well, you can use your
imagination for the rest.
Okay. So, so he comes in
through the back door,
which you left open for him,
and then you guys role play.
So at what time did Mr. Maywood get home?
[Riley] Nathan was home.
Um, he was in his study.
I didn't know he was because
he's usually gone by 7:00
when he's "working late."
Okay. "Working late?"
What's with the quotations?
Brianna Hicks is her name.
And... when he's "working late,"
that's what or who he's usually doing.
So your husband was having an affair
with his coworker Ms. Hicks?
And you were sleeping with Mr. Kevin Jones?
[laughs]
Oh, God.
Thank God I'm not married.
Bernie, I'm innocent, man.
I didn't... I didn't do what they said I did.
I know, Nate.
I'm gonna do everything I
can to get you out of this.
Yeah, it was Riley. She set me up.
I believe you.
But the evidence is
pretty tight against you.
It's gonna be hard to prove that.
Well, you better figure something out.
[Riley] When Kevin got there,
it was too late to ask him to leave.
So Nathan walked in on us
and got so upset.
He started beating Kevin.
And I tried to talk Nathan down
but that's when he went to
his safe, he got his gun,
and... he killed Kevin in cold blood.
[Detective Duncan] Wow.
Cold blood, huh?
Detective, that's enough
questioning for tonight.
My sister is obviously traumatized.
Yeah.
Look, I-I want you to go home
and get some sleep, Ms. Maywood.
Look, we got everything we need.
And if, uh, we need anything else,
I'll be sure to reach out to you.
Thank you, Detective, but
if you need anything else,
you reach out to me.
Come on, Rie. Let's go.
[Detective Ramsey] What are you thinking?
Not buying her story.
I mean, of course Nathan killed the guy.
And yes, they both were having an affair,
but I don't think it went
down the way she said it did.
Well, what makes you say that?
I don't know. There's
just something in my gut
won't let me believe her.
And I know Mr. Maywood. He's a good guy.
But what do you wanna do?
[sighs] Nothing for now.
I mean, we have her statement
and we'll be holding Mr. Maywood
for the next 48 hours until further notice.
I'm gonna see what type of
magic his attorneys whip up.
Then we take it from there.
All right, you got it.
[Riley] Oh, my God.
We did it. Hmm.
Yes, we did.
Wow. I just still can't believe
he tried to have you kill me.
I can't believe it either.
But look, let's not talk about the past.
Let's talk about us and our future...
Hmm.
-...with our 250 million.
Our 250 million?
No, no, no, that's mine.
Well, technically, it's Nathan's.
No. Well, technically, Nathan's gonna spend
the rest of his life in prison,
so it belongs to me.
Hmm. -And he really should be happy
I did not have him killed.
Damn, Riley.
-Yeah.
You're as cold as ice.
And you are my fire, baby.
I love you, baby.
I love you too.
Hmm.
-Hmm.
You know, I'm thinking we
should go someplace far,
like, I don't know, to Bali?
Uh-hmm.
-Or no. Maybe London?
Hmm.
-Or even Paris?
Uh-hmm.
-Right?
You know, somewhere far, far away
where no one can ever find us.
That sounds amazing, baby.
-Uh-hmm.
But I do have to go to my
sister's for a couple days,
you know, just tap out, go off the radar,
do the whole mourning thing, you know?
Yeah.
And then after that,
I'm all yours.
I can't wait.
Uh-hmm.
I really appreciate you, Jesse.
You know, you saved my life
and I don't know how I'll ever repay you.
I can think of 50 million ways.
Oh, see? We agreed on 10, not 50.
Okay.
-You're being greedy.
I'm kidding.
Uh-huh. Hmm.
And you're sure
no one's gonna find out what we did?
Never.
Okay.
[clears throat]
[dramatic music]
[birds chirping]
Sissy.
Oh, my goodness. I'm so glad you're here.
- Come on in. Come on in.
- Me too. Thank you.
Love the hair. -[Riley] Thank you, babe.
Yes. It's so good to have you home.
I'm so happy to be here.
Girl, put your bags down.
Make yourself comfortable.
You know this is your house, girl.
Yes. [sighs]
I have a surprise for you.
-What?
Look who I found in the garage.
-Henry?
Henry.
-Oh, my baby.
Oh, I cannot believe you
kept this old teddy bear.
Girl, are you crazy?
-My baby.
Henry was a part of the family.
-Oh.
You didn't go anywhere
without that old bear.
Why did we name him Henry?
Well, we used to watch
the stories with mommy
when we were little girls
and there was this little boy
on one of the stories that you just loved
and his name was Henry.
-Uh-hmm.
So you named the bear Henry.
Kids do the craziest things.
Yes, they do, like leaving the nest.
I cannot believe you
kept mom and dad's house.
I mean, you've done amazing with it
but, you know, I couldn't
wait to leave out.
[laughter]
Hmm.
-Well, you were the rebel
and I was the good child.
You know, mommy and daddy left me the house
'cause they knew I'd take care of it.
Yeah. I mean, I shouldn't have left
but I wanted to make something of myself,
you know, I didn't wanna
live off of mom and dad.
You know, it really crushed
daddy when you left.
That's funny to hear the way
he wanted me to move out.
[laughs]
No, daddy was an emotional guy.
He just didn't know how
to show his emotions.
[sighs deeply]
Before he died,
he asked about you.
Wait. What do you mean?
Why did you never tell me that?
I felt terrible, but you
know we weren't talking then.
Daddy really loved you, Rie.
He just had his own way of doing things.
Tough love he would say.
Wow. So much of my life
and the way it turned out,
it... it was because of him.
Who knows what I would have been
if I actually had a father
who loved and supported me?
You would be the same amazing
woman that you are today.
Mommy and daddy were so proud of you.
Daddy just...
he didn't get the chance
to tell you before he died,
so I'm telling you right now, okay?
I just miss them so much.
Me too.
I miss them so much
and I'm so glad that you're here.
Uh-hmm.
[Chrissy] Oh, I'm so happy that
you can be here for this dinner
and that you are safe, girl.
Yeah. It's crazy.
I mean, I've never seen
Nathan go off like that.
Well, girl, can you blame him?
He caught you in bed with the same man
you already cheated on him with
and stole all his money.
What did you expect him to do? Hug him?
Gosh, that is harsh.
Harsh? Girl, I'm a realist.
I'm sorry. But if I was Nathan,
I would've shot both of y'all asses.
That part. -Okay. I'm sorry, girl.
I just... I feel bad for Nathan.
He doesn't deserve all of this,
like he was good to me.
Okay, Rie, but anyone that commits a crime,
they deserve the punishment
that they get, honey.
[Chrissy] I agree. I mean, look,
regardless of why he did it,
he still killed someone.
Uh-hmm.
-And if the cops
wouldn't have showed up
when they did, Riley,
he could have killed you too.
-Uh-hmm.
And then I would've had to kill his ass,
and I will be the one sittin' in jail
'cause don't nobody mess with my sister.
Okay. You wouldn't've done nothing
'cause you know you're scary.
- Girl. Let her know.
-[Chrissy] Uh-uh. See?
Sandra a little crazy in her.
[Riley] Maybe a little, maybe a little bit.
- Maybe a little bit.
-[Sandra] I am a Gemini.
Look, look, can I wear Chanel in jail?
[Riley] Oh, don't play. -[Chrissy] Okay.
That was...
[Sandra] I'll wear Chanel in jail. Come on.
[Riley] Oh, my gosh.
-[Sandra] Okay.
[tense music]
All charges against Mr. Maywood
have been dropped.
You're free to go.
-[gavel bangs]
[tense music]
[Jonathan] If what you're
telling me is true, Nate,
you know what this means?
Yeah. I'm well aware of what it means, man.
So what?
Look, I already got Frank off
'cause that's our cousin, all right?
And family's important to me.
You know that, but what
you're asking me to do here
is turn the other cheek to this?
It may not be that easy, all right?
We're talking murder.
-[Nathan] No.
We are talking $50 million to you.
I don't know, Nate.
-Goddamn it, John.
We are brothers, man, all right?
And family always comes before the job.
With that $50 million, you can retire.
Yeah, but I could go down for this.
Hell, we could all go down for it.
Hey, you got to trust me, all right?
This is all part of the plan.
Sign.
You'll receive your deposit
in an offshore account
in 72 hours.
Hey, thank you.
[dramatic music]
Jesse, how the hell did Nathan get out?
[Nathan] Because unfortunately,
my plan was better than yours.
Aw, what's the matter, Rie?
You surprised to see me?
What the hell is going on?
Oh, a conundrum.
Should you tell her or should I?
All right, look, cuz, if
you want me to do this,
we gotta do it my way 'cause your plan
isn't gonna work.
What are you talking about?
Look, do you trust me?
'Cause you're gonna have to do some time.
Man, are you crazy?
I'm not stepping foot inside of a prison.
Look, if you want your money
and you wanna get revenge
on Riley and Kevin,
then we gotta do it this way.
Now like I said, do you trust me?
What's the plan?
[Jesse] Can you get your
brother to sign an affidavit?
I don't know.
My brother's real by the book.
He got me off, so he
ain't that by the books.
I'll talk to him.
Or offer him 50 mil.
Yeah. Money talks.
[Jesse] Good.
I'm gonna talk to Riley
and I'm gonna tell her
everything that we discussed.
And then I'll gain her trust
and we'll go from there.
All right.
[sighs]
Baby, I need to tell you something.
What is it?
You know you can tell me anything.
Hmm.
Baby?
Riley, I'm not who you think I am.
What are you talking about?
Okay. Um...
My real name is Frank Robertson.
Frank Robertson?
[chuckles] -I'm a hustler.
And I've been faking this whole time
as a celebrity photographer.
Look, I'm sorry, Riley.
-No, you playing.
No, seriously. I...
I didn't mean to fall in love with you.
I don't understand. I don't even know
what you're talking about right now.
There's-there's more.
Your husband, Mr. Maywood.
Okay. What about my husband?
[sighs] Riley, he tried
to hire me to kill you.
Something about insurance money.
Are you serious?
Look, I'm sorry but I... I'm
just telling you the truth.
Wait. Wait, what? What are
you even talking about?
Why are you saying this to me right now?
What are you... -I'm sorry. Listen,
-but I'm telling you the truth.
- Who are you? What...
I'm telling you the truth, okay?
Look, he found out who I was
and he said that if I didn't
do what he told me to do,
he'd kill you then...
-No, he didn't.
Listen, listen, he was gonna
tell you who I really was
and have me go back to jail.
-Who are you?
I cannot go back to that life, Riley.
I have to get out of here.
I have to go. No.
[Jesse] No, no, no, Riley, Riley.
Get the hell away from me. Get off of me.
Get off of me. -[Jesse] Baby, baby, baby.
Listen. Listen.
-Get off of me.
You know who I am. -I
don't know who you are.
No, no.
-Yes, you do.
You do. Listen.
Look, I'm the man you
fell in love with. Okay?
And I'm the man who fell in love with you.
Yeah.
Listen, listen, listen, Riley.
- How could you do this to me?
- Riley, Riley. Listen, listen.
I loved you.
I gave you myself.
I trusted you.
And oh, my God, I did
things that I promised
Nathan I would never do, ever do again.
No, no, you didn't do it for nothing.
Listen, you did it for love.
You did it for love.
Okay. I love you.
And that's why I'm telling you.
Riley, please.
I can't breathe. I can't breathe.
Please. I just need a minute right now.
I just need a minute right now, please.
He told me about Kevin.
He told you about that?
Yeah. He said that you and Kevin
stole $250 million from him
and that's why he wants you dead,
because then he will get it back.
Wow.
Wow.
-What is so funny?
That 250 million I don't even have.
Kevin stole that from me.
He made me sign it over to him
because I thought I was
putting it in a secure account.
I don't even have that money anymore.
Wait, so you're broke too?
As of now, yes.
But... that 250 million is mine.
And I get it back if
something happens to Kevin.
Say less. Look, look.
I got an idea but I need
you to trust me, okay?
Listen, tomorrow night,
you're not gonna go to your sister's.
You're gonna stay in with Nathan
and you're gonna tell him
everything that happened
between you and Kevin and
how you lost the money.
Are you insane? Why would I do that?
Listen, because Nathan
still loves you, okay?
He has a soft spot for you.
Trust me.
How do you know?
I know because when I asked him
why he didn't kill you himself,
he said he couldn't do it.
He said he couldn't hurt you.
Listen...
you're gonna tell Nathan
that you're gonna give him half the money
if he kills Kevin.
Now Nathan is gonna fight
back in the beginning,
but eventually he will agree
because he is a money guy.
Now I'm gonna stick to the original plan
and Nathan is gonna think that
it's me breaking into your house
but actually it's going to be...
[car beeps]
Do as I say and nobody gets hurt.
Don't shoot, don't shoot.
I'm not gonna kill you.
But you're gonna do something for me,
otherwise I'm gonna kill your whole family.
Now here's what's gonna happen.
[gunshot]
[thuds]
Y'all both set me up.
Well, you gotta be a
little bit more careful
about who you screw, my love.
You see, Frank here...
that's my cousin.
Jesse, is this true?
[Jesse] I'm sorry, Rie.
Family first.
Wow.
Look, I'd love to stay and play with y'all
but I got a plane to catch.
Let me know when that
money is in my account.
Yes, sir.
Thank you, cuzzo.
I'm glad I could trust you.
It was nice knowing you, Rie.
You're amazing, really.
[gunshot] -[Riley screams]
Did you really think this will all work out
without there being a
little casualty, Frank?
Stupid.
Oh my God, no. Please.
What are you... please, baby.
[Nathan] Oh, you see, officer,
I-I just followed my cheating
wife to her lover's home.
And then, I caught them in bed together.
And then, Jesse, he just pulls out a gun
and tries to shoot me.
And then, we wrestled and the gun goes off
and next thing I know,
Jesse takes one in the back.
It's wrong, baby. You had it wrong, okay?
Please. It's not how it looks.
Please don't interrupt,
because this is the best part.
And then my-my wife, she...
she tried to take the gun
away from me and well,
you can guess what happens next, right?
[chuckles]
Please. No, no.
Please put the gun down.
Please don't. Please don't do this. Okay?
I'm sorry.
Dammit, Rie.
I loved you.
Sorry things didn't work.
[gunshot]
[grunts]
[grunting]
[grunting]
[grunts]
[gunshot]
[screams]
[gunshot]
Hey.
[dramatic music]
[indistinct radio chatter]
Mr. Maywood, how you doing, sir?
Is that a joke, Detective?
You know what, you're right. My apologies.
Look, I just have a couple
questions for you, all right?
So you walked into the house
and you caught your wife and her lover
in the bed together?
Yes.
-Okay.
And after you got
attacked, you had no choice
but to defend yourself against
your wife and her lover?
Yeah.
Classic case of self-defense,
if you ask me.
You just got here.
How'd you know what happened?
I have a signed affidavit
from the DA's office
that says exactly what happened.
Yeah. Tell your brother I
said hey for me, all right?
Will do.
You have a good one, Mr. Maywood.
You too, Detective.
[singer] I remember you was down for me
I couldn't be without you
You could've told me you
were switching for me
I would tell him that shit was doubtful
Now I'm trying to figure
out what I stick around for
Stick around for
And you try to play me
But you played the both of us
No, no
And I can't remember why I do, too
I'm glad you do me
right, these others can't
No, no
And I could never be ashamed
No regrets, no dirt on my name
No dirt on my name
I did some things for you
I know some niggas die for
Die for, die for
I did some things for
you I know some niggas
Some niggas die for
Die for, die for
But I'mma pull up, drink some
'Cause every guy gotta
take an I sometimes
The train might even slip
off of the rails sometimes
But keep your head up
We gonna pull up
[vocalizing]
[dramatic music]
[woman] Tubi
Tubi
[dramatic music]
[gunshots]
[thud]
[gunshot]
[birds chirping]
[groans]
You have to leave already?
Yes. My husband is gonna be home soon
and I need to be there before he gets back,
otherwise he's gonna be suspicious, right?
When are you gonna tell him about us?
He needs to know, Riley.
You can't keep this from him anymore.
No. Everything is in good timing, Jesse.
Yeah, your timing.
See? Now, you're starting to understand.
You're going to be the death of me, woman.
[birds chirping]
Get dressed. We leave in 30.
[upbeat music]
[Jesse] I wanna thank you all for coming.
Uh, tonight is a very special
night as we're all here
to celebrate the grand opening
of my new place of business, The Loft.
[cheers and applause]
Thank you. Thank you.
Now, this was always a
childhood dream of mine,
but it was also my mother's dream as well.
May she rest in peace.
This is for you, Janice.
[all] To Janice.
Now, guys, I want you to enjoy yourselves.
Take a look around. But, most importantly,
open up those pocketbooks and buy.
[laughter]
[singer] But I can't
get you off my mind
Tryna hit the spot
Finally got you out, my love. Look at this.
Ooh, nice.
[claps]
[Nathan] Wow.
Mr. Jesse Splinter.
My goodness.
Mr. Nathan Maywood.
He knows who I am. You know who I am?
I mean, everyone knows the
crypto giant Mr. Maywood.
At least, everyone who hasn't
been living under a rock.
Pleasure to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Hey, look, man, I'm a huge fan.
Just wanna come down
and check out the new spot.
And this is my fine piece of art,
my beautiful wife, Riley.
Pleasure to meet you, Riley.
You as well.
Easy there, tiger.
Riley is a retired model.
Retired?
Why is that, may I ask?
No reason. Uh... I was young.
I was 14.
I always knew I wanted to have kids.
And when I met Nate,
I knew it was the right time to stop.
Well, if you ever decide
to give it a go again,
I'd be honored to shoot you.
I will keep that in mind.
Very beautiful wife you have, Mr. Maywood.
Must be nice.
Yes. She takes good, good
care of me, I must say.
One day, I will find love like that.
Now, I truly envy you, Mr. Maywood.
Oh, I mean, you are
living your dream, right?
You are the one to be envied.
Please, guys, enjoy yourselves.
Take a look around.
We have some drinks.
It's a pleasure to meet you both.
Yeah, you too.
Let's take a look. Wow. Look at this.
[mellow music]
[Nathan] Are you serious?
That's insane. I was
just told it was up 400%.
Now you're telling me
there's nothing there?
Well then, figure it out, man.
Damn!
Can someone explain to
me how I lost $50 million
in a matter of hours?
Nate, you know the crypto market.
That's how it works.
Why didn't we see this coming?
Isn't that why I pay you, Calvin?
With all due respect, Nate,
you pay me to oversee your finances,
not to make decisions for you.
You made the decision to
go all in with this coin.
But someone should've told me the risk.
You knew the risk.
Everyone leave.
Calvin, stay.
Is there anything we can do?
I was up till 4:00 in the
morning, crunching numbers.
There's nothing left to crunch, Nathan.
We just took the 400% hit.
We're broke. -What do
you mean we're broke?
I mean, 24 hours ago,
we were a $50 million company.
But after last night's crash,
we're lucky to be worth $50,000.
You're telling me that
the company that I built
is now only worth 50K?
Yes.
-Dammit!
All right. So what if
we sell all the assets,
the cars, the house, this building?
You liquefy all of your assets,
you have around a million cash, maybe less.
But with your lifestyle,
that'll last six months
to a year before you're flat broke.
I'm talking no savings,
no money market accounts, nothing.
And that's if you live modestly.
So, my savings?
That ran out last month with the promo.
[sighs] God.
[Calvin] I'm sorry, Nate,
I have some more bad news.
Yeah, come on. Pile it on.
I was offered a job with the Houston group.
What? You're going back
to the same place that fired you?
That's the whole reason why
you came to work with me.
They made me an offer I couldn't refuse.
Congratulations, man. How convenient.
You wanna start your going away party too?
Damn!
What about the jet?
You don't own it to sell it.
Just like your fleet of cars.
All leases.
The house is your best bet.
I'm sorry, brother.
I really am.
Get out.
[sighs]
[door creaks open]
What the hell was that
all about last night?
I thought you were coming alone.
Oh, baby.
Listen, when I got home to
get ready, he was there.
And he was saying how he
wanted to come with me
and talking about wanting
to spend more time with me.
I... [exhales] -Listen,
I almost pissed my pants when I saw him.
You know what?
I think I pissed in mine too.
[laughs] I did.
Rie, he needs to know.
Like you have to tell him.
Like if we get caught,
it could be really, really bad.
I mean, your husband's a smart man
so I'm pretty sure he
already thinks something.
Well, whether he knows or
not, I'm gonna tell him.
It just... it just needs to
be in the right time, okay?
Time.
You mean your time, yeah?
How about it's time for some of this?
[suspenseful music]
Nathan, I came as fast as I could.
How can I help?
I'm in trouble, Kate.
The crypto market is down 400%.
Well, it's something you
can bounce back from.
I risked it all.
Everything I had.
The deal was supposed to
be for this thousand X coin
that was gonna make me a billionaire,
but instead...
I am sorry, Nathan.
What can I do?
I need a loan.
What about taking a loan
against your assets?
It's all in Riley's name.
She has no idea that I'm
broke nor does she know
that everything's been signed over to her.
This couldn't come at a worse time.
I'm in a new development deal
that I just bought and I
only have 50,000 liquid.
That couldn't buy you
a seat in a poker game.
So what are you gonna do?
Honestly?
I don't know.
Why don't you ask your wife?
Can't do that.
Why not?
Because she hates my guts
and she's cheating on me.
[Katelyn] Oh, my God.
With who?
That I don't know.
And, honestly,
I'm not even interested to find out.
Listen,
let me introduce you to a
few of my investor friends,
and I think they can help.
Thank you, Kate.
You're always there when I need you.
I'm sorry I couldn't do more.
No, it's okay.
I love you.
[Jesse] I know.
I love you too.
I'm gonna tell him tonight.
Tell him what, that you're in love with me?
Yes. I'm gonna tell him everything.
I'm gonna tell him what's going on,
that I'm leaving him.
I mean, he doesn't need
to know with who or why,
but... he needs to know.
I did have love for him.
I wanna run away with you.
Let's just go somewhere.
Like where would you wanna go?
-Look.
Huh?
-I don't know, Rie.
Look, I just opened the business.
My life is here.
Like I can't leave it all behind.
What do you want, Jesse? I mean,
we can't keep sneaking around
like teenagers forever.
We need to start making
some real decisions,
either we're gonna be
together or we're not.
Listen, babe, I love you and, of course,
we are together, but we have
to be smart about this, okay?
Like this could ruin your reputation.
What reputation?
I'm an ex-mid-tier model
turned desperate housewife
married to Mr. Maywood.
Okay. I see you've made your career choice.
Yeah.
-But what about mine?
Like this could destroy mine.
Your husband is a very powerful man
and... I mean, he's
loved by a lot of people.
I mean, we could become villains.
I don't care about any of that.
My family has enough money for generations,
so I'll be okay.
No offense
but I don't have your family
or their generational money.
Hmm.
No but you have me.
And that's all you need.
I guess we could figure it out together.
Uh-hmm. [chuckles]
[indistinct chatter]
Okay. This is now drink two.
[laughs] -What was so important
that you needed to speak
to me about it tonight?
Well, um,
yeah, remember the other day
when we were having lunch
and you thought something
was wrong with me?
Yeah. What's up?
Well...
I'm divorcing Nathan.
What? Why?
I met someone.
And I know...
-Oh, my God.
It's only been a couple of months
but I feel like I'm falling
in love with him.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down.
What do you mean you met
someone and you think
you're falling in love?
You are married, remember?
I know.
But it's not rocket science
that me and Nathan's marriage
has not been what it once was.
Okay. That might be true,
but to get a divorce,
that's a bit extreme.
And who is this mystery man
that I'm just now hearing about?
Okay. See, that's not
the important part, okay?
The important part is
that I am happy, okay?
And... Nathan, he just
doesn't make me happy anymore.
Whatever happened to working through it?
Oh, girl, I don't think we can.
Okay. Okay. Whatever happened
to the vows that you guys made?
Remember? For better or for worst,
till death do us part.
You know, I definitely feel like
this is the "for worst" part.
How does he feel?
-Hmm.
Girl, he does not care. He
does not love me anymore.
We have not made love in months.
He doesn't kiss me anymore.
He doesn't hug me anymore.
He does not love me, Chris.
Okay. So because the spark is gone,
you think that's enough to just go?
Well, honestly,
I don't really love him anymore either.
But what if he still loves you, hmm?
Have you considered that?
- Maybe speaking to him about it?
- I knew it.
[Chrissy] What? -I
knew that you would have
his back if I told you.
-[Chrissy] No.
I'm not having his back.
I'm just... I'm just... I'm just saying.
Listen, marriage is a two-way street, okay?
And so is divorce. And
at the end of the day,
I just... I want you to consider
what you're doing before you do it.
That's all.
And this mystery man, the
one that you so-called love
that... you just met
and that I'm now finding out about,
Riley, what do you even know about him?
Oh.
-[Chrissy] For real.
It's only been a couple of months.
Oh, I'm starting to have anxiety.
[Riley] Okay.
-We need to pray.
We need to pray. Give me your hand.
Listen... no.
-You... come on.
I did and I have been praying.
You're stressing me out.
-No. Listen,
this guy, he loves me.
He sees me and appreciates me.
Nathan, what does he care about?
He only cares about himself.
He cares about money and greed
and it's always about what he wants.
When is it time for me to be happy
and to care about what I want?
What do you want?
Like not what you think you want.
What do you really, really want?
Your prayers ain't even...
you ain't praying good enough.
Give me your hand. -Okay.
Well, pray for me then.
You pray. -You're getting on my nerves.
[dramatic music]
[chuckles]
Surprised to see me?
-[clears throat] No.
I just didn't expect you
to be home right now.
Well, I figured we could
go to dinner tonight
at our favorite place.
The Renaissance?
Oh, my gosh. Babe, we
haven't been there in years.
Which is why I thought
we should go tonight.
Tonight? -That's what I just said.
No, I just... I had this, uh,
event with Chrissy tonight.
She wanted me to go to this mixer.
Maybe tomorrow?
-[Nathan] Come on, babe.
Tomorrow is not promised.
You're always complaining
about me not being spontaneous.
Well, here I am, Mr. Spontaneity.
Okay. Well, um, can you give me
a couple minutes to get ready?
Yeah. Cool. I'll go make a drink.
[sighs]
[dramatic music]
[cellphone ringing]
Hey, what's up?
[Riley] Change of plans.
I got home tonight and he
wanted to take me out to dinner.
I have no idea what's
been up with him lately
but maybe he is feeling
something, like you said.
I don't know. Anyway,
I can't make it tonight.
I totally get it.
You know, this is why it would just be
so much easier if he knew.
-[Nathan] Knew what?
-[Riley] Oh, you scared me.
If I knew what?
Who's that on the phone?
It's Sandra.
Um, I gotta call you back, Sandy.
[sighs] We, um... we need to talk.
Yeah, sure.
So I was talking to my sister
and, um, she's dating this
guy who's into crypto.
And she is scared to tell him
that her brother-in-law is Mr. Maywood.
[chuckles]
Which I think it will be easier if he knew,
you know, because then you could help him.
Yeah, I don't mind helping.
I mean, she's my sister too, you know?
Right. [chuckles]
Yeah, just tell her if she
needs my help, just ask.
Will do.
Now, did you tell Chrissy
that you're going out
to dinner tonight with your hubby?
I did. And she was bummed.
But I told her I got her on the next ones.
Good. All right.
I'll be back in 30 minutes. Be ready.
You know, why don't we just stay home?
You know, I can order some Chinese food
and we can just Tubi and chill?
No, no. Get dressed.
And wear that black dress I like on you.
Ooh.
-[chuckles]
All right? Reservation is already set.
Come on.
Okay.
[sighs]
[dramatic music]
[exhales]
[instrumental music]
[birds chirping]
[Jesse] Hey, Riley, is that you?
Riley?
Expecting someone else?
Like my wife?
[tense music]
[laughter]
Thought you were serious for a second.
Hey, man, I've been working
on my acting skills.
It's working, yo.
-Oh, thank you.
So what's up cousin Nate?
Not much, cuzzo.
Same ole, same ole.
But I think my wife
might be cheating on me.
[chuckles] Yo, you stay
with the jokes, man.
Hey, man, if I'm not
laughing, I'm not happy.
True, true.
What you doing here, man? You're early.
That's exactly why I'm here,
to tell you that we need to do
this earlier than we expected.
I agree. She's already
ready to tell you about us.
Aww, she is such a good woman.
So what's the next move?
[Nathan] That depends.
Does she suspect anything?
Nothing.
She thinks that I'm Jesse Splinter,
the award-winning photographer.
[chuckles]
And here you are,
Frank Harris, my no-good,
slime ball of a cousin...
-Uh-hmm.
Who just got out of prison last year.
Oh, the family is so proud of you.
Hey, don't forget I took that bid for you.
And I told you when you took that bid
that I would make it
worth your while, right?
Yeah, well, $50 million,
that's worth a couple years.
[Nathan] Yeah. More than worth it.
[Jesse] Nate, I appreciate this, man.
For real.
I'mma do good with this. Like I got you.
Yeah, I know.
But you sure you still up for this, man,
or did you really fall
in love with my wife?
Nate, come on, man. You done
know me your whole life.
I mean, like you know I'm
not falling in love. I...
I'm a player till I die. You know that.
Yeah, I know.
But I've seen pictures, man.
You sure could've fooled me.
I had to make it look real, right?
[chuckles] Yeah.
You're right. Sit down.
[clears throat]
So here's what's gonna happen.
In order for this to go smoothly,
I'mma need you to do it.
Do what?
Kill Riley.
What?
-And then we're all good.
She's gone, I inherit
her $250 million estate,
and you get $50 million.
No. Wait, wait, wait. We never
talked about me killing Riley.
That wasn't part of the plan.
The plan has changed, Frank.
That's why I'm here.
So if you still want that $50 million,
I'm gonna need you to do exactly as I say.
Come on, Nate.
I mean, $50 million is
life-changing but murder?
Yeah.
-Like come on, man.
There's gotta be another way.
Nigga, like what?
Like, nigga, you do it.
Like if I do it and the police find out,
I'm back in prison for life
and then I won't see any of that money.
Like why would I risk it all
for everything that I have now?
'Cause you wouldn't have any of it
if it wasn't for me creating you.
Did you forget?
I push one button
and your ass is back in prison.
You don't have a choice.
I put you in this house you're in.
Come on, Nate. Like
what if we hire someone?
No, no.
There are too many strings
attached with that, all right?
We can't trust anyone enough.
Look, man, trust me.
I've gone over all the options here.
Come on, man.
-It has to be you.
This is the only way it works.
Look, what if I have her car crash?
Why don't we do something old-school,
cut the brakes or something?
I don't think I'm making myself clear.
Either you do this or
you're back in prison.
And what if I say no?
And what if Riley finds out about the truth
of who you really are?
Then she'll find out the truth about you.
Don't forget I got just as much
dirt on you as you got on me.
You're just the mastermind, remember?
[chuckles] No, nigga.
The only difference is
you're a convicted felon
and I am a very powerful man
who is loved by other very powerful people.
So don't you ever forget your place
or you'll go right back to
that box that I found you in.
Now, like I said, you don't have a choice.
So you either get on board
with what I need you to do
or I'm gonna call the DA
and tell him to take away
the deal that we made to get you out.
What's it gonna be?
[sighs]
What do I gotta do, man?
I'll call you with the new details
of how this is gonna work.
What you want me to do
about Riley until then?
Keep screwing with her.
Don't change anything.
[chuckles]
Wait for my call, cuzzo.
[tense music]
I'm leaving him.
-Girl, hush.
You sound like the boy who cried wolf.
You've been leaving this man for years.
I know. I just...
I never had a good enough
reason to until now.
Until now? What's that supposed to mean?
I met someone.
You met someone? Rie,
you are a married woman.
How could you possibly have met someone?
I can meet people. I mean,
just 'cause I'm married
doesn't mean I don't have eyes or a heart.
A heart?
So are you in love or is this like?
I'm in love.
[laughs]
Hmm. Uh-hmm. -[Riley] Hmm.
Uh-hmm. Uh-hmm.
[exhales] Be careful, Rie.
I stepped out on my
husband once before too.
And it was the biggest mistake of my life.
I still regret it to this day.
Yeah, well, my biggest regret is Nathan.
[Sandra] Hmm.
I mean, he literally smothers me.
He tries to control what I say,
what I do, how I look, what I wear.
It's like, "Oh, my God, can I just be me?"
I feel like a prisoner more
than I feel like a actual wife.
Oh, baby, that sounds terrible.
It is.
It really is.
[sighs] So a new guy, huh?
Who is he, what does he do,
and what does he want?
-[Riley laughs]
What does he want?
-[Sandra] Uh-huh.
No, he wants me. And
that is all that matters.
[chuckles] Oh, you sound dumb
as a box of rocks, sweetheart.
Okay.
-Hmm?
I hate to break it to you
but every man wants something.
You just gotta figure out what it is.
Now, it's no secret
that the only good thing
mommy and daddy did was
leave us our trust funds.
Maybe that's what he's after.
He has his own money.
He is a photographer
and a successful photographer.
[Sandra laughs] -He is not interested
in my trust fund.
Successful photographer?
[Riley] Yeah.
-[laughs]
If you say so, Rie.
[Riley] Wow.
-[chuckles]
You know, I just... I wish
you would be happy for me
once in my life.
Sis, I am in love.
[Sandra sighs]
That's the scary part.
I was very happy for you and Nathan,
who you're now telling me you're divorcing.
[sighs]
[dramatic music]
[cellphone ringing]
Hey, you.
-[Riley] Hey, you.
-[Jesse] What are you doing?
- I'm about to go
to this photo shoot for one of my friends.
She's a dope stylist and she's trying
to get her Instagram popping,
so she asked me to help.
Gotta do it for the Gram, right?
[Riley laughs]
Whatever.
Are we still on for lunch?
[Jesse] Oh, I'm so sorry, baby.
Um, I forgot I had a
shoot up in NoHo at 12:00.
I can't make it today.
Well, I wish you would've told me.
I already made plans.
-[Jesse] I know.
It slipped my mind.
One of my agents called
me about 20 minutes ago
to remind me and, uh, I've
been scrambling ever since.
I'm sorry, baby.
Well, I guess it's okay.
I was just looking forward to seeing you.
You know I always look
forward to seeing you.
[Riley] Well, not today.
[laughs]
Baby, I gotta tell you something.
Yeah. What is it, babe?
You know you can tell me anything.
You know what? Never mind.
It's not important.
[Riley] Uh-uh. What is it?
You know I hate when you do that.
I just needed some
advice on this new agency
that I was talking about repping me,
but we can talk about it later.
Okay. Well, until then.
[Jesse] Until then.
I love you.
I love you too.
[Nathan] So in order for
this to go down right,
we're both gonna need strong alibis,
'cause when she's gone,
the cops are gonna pick
apart every little detail.
Who were her friends, who were
her lovers, all the above.
Now, I will be at the office working late
along with my assistant, Brianna Hicks,
who I am screwing the shit out of.
[chuckles]
So my affair takes the
heat off of you, right?
Gives me motive, but
the fact that I can't be
at two places at once sets me free.
But you still could have planned it.
Right. That's why it has
to look like an accident.
And that's why you have to do it,
because you are a successful photographer.
You're not a murderer. No
one's ever gonna suspect you.
I don't know about this, cuz.
I mean, why do you wanna do this, man?
I mean, is it even worth it?
[Nathan] I'll tell you a story, man,
and then you tell me if
it's worth it or not.
I was worth a hundred mil
and I lost everything before I
can transfer my crypto wallet
over to my new trust that
my financial advisor Kevin
set up for me.
Now, Riley was a broke,
struggling model when we met, right?
She ran away from her rich parents' house
to try to be a model
against her parents' wishes.
Her pops told her, "Hey, if you
leave, you leave with nothing."
She did. That's when we met.
Now, after we got married,
I told Riley about this new crypto coin
that I just had this gut feeling about.
So she worked a couple of gigs,
saved up enough money to be
able to buy in to the coin.
That same coin that broke me,
Kevin, who I thought was my best friend,
tipped Riley off that the
coin was about to crash.
So she sold her entire
investment in the coin
and transferred her money into a new trust
the day before the coin crashed.
But guess what?
Kevin didn't give me the same advice.
Why not?
'Cause he was screwing Riley.
Damn.
Sorry, Nate.
She never loved me.
She loved the idea of me being her savior.
Anyway, so she secured 250 million.
And make no mistake about it,
that money is mine.
But the only way to get it is if she dies.
We never signed a prenup, so when she dies,
everything comes to me,
all right, and vice versa.
Get it?
So when I get everything,
guess who gets $50 million?
Me.
Smart man.
Now, let's continue.
[tense music]
Riley goes to visit her sister
every Thursday night at 7:00 PM.
She never misses a Thursday
and it's always at the same time
no matter what.
When she leaves, I go back
to the office and work.
We both leave at 7:00.
She gets back at around 9:30
and gets right into the shower.
Now, at 6 o'clock,
you're gonna turn off your phone
and you're gonna leave it on the dresser.
Right around 9:30 when she gets back,
you're gonna come here, you're
gonna park two blocks away.
You wait until you see her car pass you.
Then you're gonna walk to the
house as casual as you can be.
Now, the sliding back door lock is broken.
We never got it fixed.
Don't ask me why.
But that is the door you will enter from.
Now, it still has an alarm trigger on it
which is probably the reason
why we never got the lock fixed.
Either way,
she disarms the house before she
walks through the front door,
which disables the alarm
for about 30 seconds.
Listen to me. This is important.
As soon as you hear her
open the front door,
that's when you come in.
And once you're in,
that's when the fun begins.
That's when you're gonna rob her.
Take her ring, take her Rolex,
take whatever jewelry that
you can find that is out.
Then you're gonna shoot her
and you're gonna leave through
the same door that you came in.
Simple enough.
What if your plan doesn't work, Nate?
It will work.
Trust me.
Trust you?
[Nathan] Yeah.
And when are we supposed
to be doing this again?
Tomorrow night. Thursday.
Tomorrow? Man, I can't do it tomorrow.
I bet you $50 million you can.
[chuckles softly]
[dramatic music]
[exhales]
Baby, I need to tell you something.
What is it? You know you
can tell me anything.
[ominous music]
[Nathan] Damn, Rie.
There was a time when we were happy.
There was, wasn't it?
You surprised to see me?
No. I just wasn't expecting
you to be home right now.
I was so happy with you, Nathan.
[exhales] You were happy making money.
That's all you ever cared about.
I mean, you put the job
and everything else before me.
The job and everything else is
what paid for this lifestyle.
The bags, the shoes, the trips.
It's what I thought you always wanted.
No. I wanted you. That's what I wanted.
I didn't care about all that other stuff.
That was all you.
But I thought I was doing exactly
what you wanted me to do.
I was providing.
And you sure as hell weren't complaining
when you were helping
me spend all that money.
I thought we were building
something together.
No, Nathan.
You were tearing us apart.
I loved you.
I loved you with every ounce of my soul
and you just betrayed me.
It was one mistake.
Kevin was a mistake.
-[Nathan] Really?
What about Jesse, huh?
You know about that?
Yeah, I do.
Uh, I was gonna tell you.
Yeah, but you didn't, did you?
You know what? Screw this.
I want a divorce.
No, Nathan, wait!
[sighs]
Look, we loved each other, okay?
Before Kevin, before
Jesse, and before Brianna.
- Hey, Mr. Maywood.
-[Nathan] Morning, Brianna.
Did you get those samples I asked you for?
[Brianna] Ooh, Mr. Maywood,
I'm so sorry but by the time you told me,
the place was already closed for the day.
Well, I'm sorry too, Ms. Hicks.
Clean out your desk. You're done.
What? Uh, Mr. Maywood, I'm sorry but...
Uh, uh, uh. I'm just kidding.
Just make sure they're on
my desk no later than noon.
You're such a kidder.
Oh, I think you know
I'm more than just that.
Yeah, you're not the only
one that know some things.
I know she's not just your assistant
and I know that you've
been seeing her for months.
I know where you two met.
And I also know that every
Thursday when I'm leaving
to go see my sister and
you're "working late",
that you're out here screwing her.
Look, that doesn't even...
-No, shut up!
Let me finish.
'Cause I also know...
that if we wanna start this thing again,
we could make it work.
Make it work?
Why did you do it, Rie, huh?
I mean, I never... I never
would have stepped out on you.
I mean, you broke me, man.
You broke me when you did.
And I tried.
I tried so hard to make you
happy and, damn, you just...
you crushed me.
It was the biggest mistake of my life
and I will spend the rest of my
life being sorry for it, okay?
Nathan, I am so sorry.
No.
-Please.
I'm sorry too.
No. Don't go.
Please.
God.
He wants to leave you now?
Uh-hmm.
Yup. For the last time.
I'm just trying to figure out
how it went from you leaving him
to him leaving you.
Yeah, I don't know. I mean...
Oh, my God, Riley. What you gonna do?
Uh, I don't know.
I don't wanna sound like
an indecisive crazy woman
and go back on what I said.
Well, I hate to say it but I told you so.
Okay. Sis, really?
-Well, I told you so.
Oh, my God.
-[chuckles]
No, I was ready to leave him.
Okay. And then I walked into the room
and there he was looking
at a picture of us.
And I decided to talk to him.
And we had a conversation
which we haven't done in years.
And that's when I remembered
I fell in love with him.
Uh-hmm.
You know, his charm, his drive, his heart.
His money. -No. Stop that, sissy.
I'll stop. Okay. I'll stop.
That's the last one.
That was the last one.
-Thank you.
[laughs] -Continue.
So it made me realize, though, you know,
I was wrong...
-Uh-hmm.
And I'm the one who broke us.
So why'd you do it?
Do what?
Please, stop. We all know your dirt, Riley.
Girl. Girl. -Stop playing with me.
Whatever.
Why did you do that with
Kevin the first time? Why?
Honestly, I was in this phase of my life
where I just wanted to live and be free,
and I don't know, I got caught up,
I wasn't thinking straight,
and Kevin played on that.
I just fell into his trap.
And Nathan was not the same after that.
Uh-hmm.
That sounds like exactly what
happened with me and my husband.
I was so eager to hit the
streets and be outside.
Right.
And I quickly realized
that I was way better off
inside my own house.
The grass ain't never
greener on the other side.
My husband was my safe place.
So, is there a world where
you two can fix things
and have your happily ever after?
I really don't know.
I mean, we kissed.
What?
-Oh.
It was instinct, you
know, it was my husband.
Okay. Well, what did he do?
Uh, he kissed me back and then,
he said sorry, and then, he left.
I don't know what that was about.
Okay. So have you guys talked since then?
No.
-Hmm.
Okay. So what do you
really wanna do, Riley?
I don't know.
Well, what you gonna do about the new boo
that you was all in love with,
now that you're falling in
love back with your husband?
I know. I don't know.
-You're confused.
I am.
-And it's confusing me.
Well, that's why I need you all. See?
Baby girl.
-Okay.
Look at me.
You only get one chance to truly be happy.
Uh-hmm.
So you have to ask yourself,
what does Riley want?
[dramatic music]
[sighs]
[dramatic music]
Sis, hey. Change of plans.
I can't come tonight.
I'll explain later but
we are on for next week.
[sighs] And I know what I want.
[dramatic music]
[Riley] Hey, you.
Don't go see her tonight.
Riley, what do you care if I'm
leaving or who I'm gonna see?
And why aren't you dressed?
Aren't you going to your sister's?
[Riley] No, I'm not.
I'm staying in tonight.
I wanna spend some time with you, Nathan.
[Nathan scoffs]
Since when did you all of a
sudden wanna spend time with me?
I mean, what is this, some sort of game?
No, it's not a game.
Look, after our talk
and everything you said, you were right.
You were trying to be
everything you thought I wanted.
And now we're here.
And I realized you're
everything that I wanted.
And still want.
-Riley, please.
No, Nathan, please stop.
Look, I can show you
better than I can tell you.
[singer] Want me to kiss you
I just need to hold you one more time
So baby, just come back to me
Come back to me 'cause I need you
Come home to me, baby, right now
[Riley] Hmm.
I remember you used to do that
when we first started dating.
What, you remember?
-Uh-huh.
I used to love your little ears.
[giggles] Don't talk about my ears.
Well, you know they're small as hell.
Shut up.
[laughter]
So what does this mean?
You tell me.
Well, if you still want the divorce,
I'll sign the papers.
It's whatever you want.
I just wanted this last night with you
before anything changes.
I love you, Rie.
But... I don't know what I want.
I do.
Like I said before, it's always
been about the money with you.
So if in the divorce I agree to cheating,
you'll get half.
I know you're broke
and you were gonna divorce
me for the money anyway.
So if you stay, I will transfer you half.
What are you talking about?
I spoke to Calvin. He told me everything.
[sighs]
Son of a bitch.
Okay. So why the urgency, Cal?
And where is my husband?
I'm gonna get straight to
it because I love you both
and I don't wanna see
Nathan go down like this.
Is everything okay?
Why are you acting so weird?
The new coin he invested in
was supposed to hit 400%.
It would have made Nathan a billionaire.
But instead, it took a 400% hit.
Nathan put everything into the coin.
What do you mean everything?
I mean, everything.
Oh, my gosh, not again.
I don't know what he's gonna do, Riley.
[sighs]
Okay. So how much does he have left now?
As of right now, he has a little over 50K.
Oh.
And that's before he liquidates his assets.
I told him all of this as well.
Okay. So why are you telling me this?
Because if it weren't for Nathan,
you wouldn't have anything.
And I know he's too prideful
to ever come to you for help
but, Riley, you have to save him.
Save him?
Cal, I'm divorcing him.
I'm so sorry to hear that.
But that $250 million estate that you have
wouldn't exist if it weren't for Nathan.
I know. And I get it.
Kevin was a crook and he
almost got away with it.
I know you two are having
troubles as a couple,
but he's still your husband.
He deserves your help.
[sighs]
I always felt like the
$250 million was mine.
I know you did.
And it probably should be.
I never cared about the money.
If you agree to stay married,
I wouldn't give you all of
it but I think half would do.
[chuckles]
Come here.
Thank you.
But nothing in this world is for free,
so I would need you to do something for me.
What's that? Tell me.
Well, I don't have access to the money yet.
What? What are you talking about?
Well, Kevin, he took everything from me.
And no one knows, not even Calvin.
Well, how much?
Everything.
-What?
Why didn't you tell me about this before?
Well, I guess we both have
our secrets, huh, Nate?
So you mean to tell me
that we're both broke?
Technically yes, but...
if we get rid of Kevin,
then we'll be $250 million rich.
What do you mean get rid of Kevin?
The funds he stole from
me have a tracker on them.
You know how crypto works.
The wallet reverts back
to the original owner
if something were to happen to Kevin.
You mean if he dies?
Yes.
-Are you insane?
I'm not going to prison for murder.
I can find another way to make money.
Come on.
Or you can give up on your plan to kill me,
and you and Frank help me
kill Kevin and we all win.
[sighs] -[Riley scoffs]
Yeah, I told you I know
more than you think.
How the... listen, Rie, I'm not trying to...
No, no, no, you don't have to
explain 'cause I understand.
I know. And it made sense.
I stole money from you,
I cheated on you, again.
I left you for broke
and you thought if you kill me off,
make it look like a home invasion,
you get all the money and
live happily ever after.
But you didn't know one part.
There is no money.
Honestly... I-I'm not doing it, okay?
I don't care.
-Wait.
So you were gonna kill me,
but you're not gonna kill
the man who tricked me
into having an affair?
Oh, no. What are you talking...
that's different, okay?
I wasn't gonna get my hands dirty.
And what do you mean tricked you?
Yeah, Kevin is the one who told me
you were seeing another woman.
And I was so upset
that I just wanted to get
back at you and... [sighs]
I was never even into Kevin like that.
I never knew the reason why.
[scoffs]
You could have just asked me, Rie.
I know. I know it was stupid.
But the past is behind us
and all we can do now is
just look to the future.
Oh, no.
Oh, no? What?
He's about to be here any minute now. I...
To kill me?
[dramatic music]
Yeah, look, I'm sorry, Rie.
I wasn't thinking and I let my
emotions get the best of me.
Oh, forget your sorry speech,
until all of this is behind us
and we are laughing all
the way to the bank.
Now will you do this for me?
Or should I say with me?
And how do I know that
you just won't run off
with the money and leave me for dead?
You don't know.
You're just gonna have to trust me.
All right. Look, I'm gonna
go and deal with this.
You wait here.
I don't want you getting yourself hurt.
Okay. Be careful.
-I will.
[suspenseful music]
[Nathan] Hey, Frank. Hold it,
man, it's not going down and...
yo, what the hell you doing, man?
[gunfire] -[glass shattering]
[dramatic music]
[groans]
[gunshot]
[gun clicks]
[suspenseful music]
[Riley] Wait, wait, no!
-[gunshot]
911. Please hurry.
-[gunshot]
He just shot my boyfriend. Please.
I think he's gonna kill me.
Please just hurry, please.
What the hell are you doing?
If you thought I was gonna let you kill me
and get away with it, nigga? You crazy.
[sirens wailing] -What?
I don't understand.
You just killed Kevin.
Wait. What?
What the!
-[sirens wailing]
Please somebody help me! He's crazy!
Please help me.
[Officer Harris] Put the gun down
and your hands behind your head.
Please, listen!
This man broke into my house.
I was just defending myself.
[Officer Harris] Get on the ground now!
Listen to me!
[Officer Harris] Do not make me use force.
I'm being set up.
-Now!
[sirens wailing]
[Detective Duncan] So again...
your husband comes home and
he finds you two together?
Yes.
[Detective Duncan] And
what were you two doing?
Look, the reason why I asked, Ms. Maywood,
is because Mr. Kevin Jones
was wearing a mask and gloves.
Detective, what is... what is the point
of this line of questioning?
My sister has obviously
been traumatized today
and she doesn't need to be treated
like she did something wrong.
You know, my apologies, Ms. Milton.
You're right.
Look, I'm just trying to connect the dots.
That's all.
It's okay.
Um, Kevin and I, we used to...
role play and I was supposed
to be the damsel home alone
and he was the intruder.
He was supposed to tie me up.
Well, you can use your
imagination for the rest.
Okay. So, so he comes in
through the back door,
which you left open for him,
and then you guys role play.
So at what time did Mr. Maywood get home?
[Riley] Nathan was home.
Um, he was in his study.
I didn't know he was because
he's usually gone by 7:00
when he's "working late."
Okay. "Working late?"
What's with the quotations?
Brianna Hicks is her name.
And... when he's "working late,"
that's what or who he's usually doing.
So your husband was having an affair
with his coworker Ms. Hicks?
And you were sleeping with Mr. Kevin Jones?
[laughs]
Oh, God.
Thank God I'm not married.
Bernie, I'm innocent, man.
I didn't... I didn't do what they said I did.
I know, Nate.
I'm gonna do everything I
can to get you out of this.
Yeah, it was Riley. She set me up.
I believe you.
But the evidence is
pretty tight against you.
It's gonna be hard to prove that.
Well, you better figure something out.
[Riley] When Kevin got there,
it was too late to ask him to leave.
So Nathan walked in on us
and got so upset.
He started beating Kevin.
And I tried to talk Nathan down
but that's when he went to
his safe, he got his gun,
and... he killed Kevin in cold blood.
[Detective Duncan] Wow.
Cold blood, huh?
Detective, that's enough
questioning for tonight.
My sister is obviously traumatized.
Yeah.
Look, I-I want you to go home
and get some sleep, Ms. Maywood.
Look, we got everything we need.
And if, uh, we need anything else,
I'll be sure to reach out to you.
Thank you, Detective, but
if you need anything else,
you reach out to me.
Come on, Rie. Let's go.
[Detective Ramsey] What are you thinking?
Not buying her story.
I mean, of course Nathan killed the guy.
And yes, they both were having an affair,
but I don't think it went
down the way she said it did.
Well, what makes you say that?
I don't know. There's
just something in my gut
won't let me believe her.
And I know Mr. Maywood. He's a good guy.
But what do you wanna do?
[sighs] Nothing for now.
I mean, we have her statement
and we'll be holding Mr. Maywood
for the next 48 hours until further notice.
I'm gonna see what type of
magic his attorneys whip up.
Then we take it from there.
All right, you got it.
[Riley] Oh, my God.
We did it. Hmm.
Yes, we did.
Wow. I just still can't believe
he tried to have you kill me.
I can't believe it either.
But look, let's not talk about the past.
Let's talk about us and our future...
Hmm.
-...with our 250 million.
Our 250 million?
No, no, no, that's mine.
Well, technically, it's Nathan's.
No. Well, technically, Nathan's gonna spend
the rest of his life in prison,
so it belongs to me.
Hmm. -And he really should be happy
I did not have him killed.
Damn, Riley.
-Yeah.
You're as cold as ice.
And you are my fire, baby.
I love you, baby.
I love you too.
Hmm.
-Hmm.
You know, I'm thinking we
should go someplace far,
like, I don't know, to Bali?
Uh-hmm.
-Or no. Maybe London?
Hmm.
-Or even Paris?
Uh-hmm.
-Right?
You know, somewhere far, far away
where no one can ever find us.
That sounds amazing, baby.
-Uh-hmm.
But I do have to go to my
sister's for a couple days,
you know, just tap out, go off the radar,
do the whole mourning thing, you know?
Yeah.
And then after that,
I'm all yours.
I can't wait.
Uh-hmm.
I really appreciate you, Jesse.
You know, you saved my life
and I don't know how I'll ever repay you.
I can think of 50 million ways.
Oh, see? We agreed on 10, not 50.
Okay.
-You're being greedy.
I'm kidding.
Uh-huh. Hmm.
And you're sure
no one's gonna find out what we did?
Never.
Okay.
[clears throat]
[dramatic music]
[birds chirping]
Sissy.
Oh, my goodness. I'm so glad you're here.
- Come on in. Come on in.
- Me too. Thank you.
Love the hair. -[Riley] Thank you, babe.
Yes. It's so good to have you home.
I'm so happy to be here.
Girl, put your bags down.
Make yourself comfortable.
You know this is your house, girl.
Yes. [sighs]
I have a surprise for you.
-What?
Look who I found in the garage.
-Henry?
Henry.
-Oh, my baby.
Oh, I cannot believe you
kept this old teddy bear.
Girl, are you crazy?
-My baby.
Henry was a part of the family.
-Oh.
You didn't go anywhere
without that old bear.
Why did we name him Henry?
Well, we used to watch
the stories with mommy
when we were little girls
and there was this little boy
on one of the stories that you just loved
and his name was Henry.
-Uh-hmm.
So you named the bear Henry.
Kids do the craziest things.
Yes, they do, like leaving the nest.
I cannot believe you
kept mom and dad's house.
I mean, you've done amazing with it
but, you know, I couldn't
wait to leave out.
[laughter]
Hmm.
-Well, you were the rebel
and I was the good child.
You know, mommy and daddy left me the house
'cause they knew I'd take care of it.
Yeah. I mean, I shouldn't have left
but I wanted to make something of myself,
you know, I didn't wanna
live off of mom and dad.
You know, it really crushed
daddy when you left.
That's funny to hear the way
he wanted me to move out.
[laughs]
No, daddy was an emotional guy.
He just didn't know how
to show his emotions.
[sighs deeply]
Before he died,
he asked about you.
Wait. What do you mean?
Why did you never tell me that?
I felt terrible, but you
know we weren't talking then.
Daddy really loved you, Rie.
He just had his own way of doing things.
Tough love he would say.
Wow. So much of my life
and the way it turned out,
it... it was because of him.
Who knows what I would have been
if I actually had a father
who loved and supported me?
You would be the same amazing
woman that you are today.
Mommy and daddy were so proud of you.
Daddy just...
he didn't get the chance
to tell you before he died,
so I'm telling you right now, okay?
I just miss them so much.
Me too.
I miss them so much
and I'm so glad that you're here.
Uh-hmm.
[Chrissy] Oh, I'm so happy that
you can be here for this dinner
and that you are safe, girl.
Yeah. It's crazy.
I mean, I've never seen
Nathan go off like that.
Well, girl, can you blame him?
He caught you in bed with the same man
you already cheated on him with
and stole all his money.
What did you expect him to do? Hug him?
Gosh, that is harsh.
Harsh? Girl, I'm a realist.
I'm sorry. But if I was Nathan,
I would've shot both of y'all asses.
That part. -Okay. I'm sorry, girl.
I just... I feel bad for Nathan.
He doesn't deserve all of this,
like he was good to me.
Okay, Rie, but anyone that commits a crime,
they deserve the punishment
that they get, honey.
[Chrissy] I agree. I mean, look,
regardless of why he did it,
he still killed someone.
Uh-hmm.
-And if the cops
wouldn't have showed up
when they did, Riley,
he could have killed you too.
-Uh-hmm.
And then I would've had to kill his ass,
and I will be the one sittin' in jail
'cause don't nobody mess with my sister.
Okay. You wouldn't've done nothing
'cause you know you're scary.
- Girl. Let her know.
-[Chrissy] Uh-uh. See?
Sandra a little crazy in her.
[Riley] Maybe a little, maybe a little bit.
- Maybe a little bit.
-[Sandra] I am a Gemini.
Look, look, can I wear Chanel in jail?
[Riley] Oh, don't play. -[Chrissy] Okay.
That was...
[Sandra] I'll wear Chanel in jail. Come on.
[Riley] Oh, my gosh.
-[Sandra] Okay.
[tense music]
All charges against Mr. Maywood
have been dropped.
You're free to go.
-[gavel bangs]
[tense music]
[Jonathan] If what you're
telling me is true, Nate,
you know what this means?
Yeah. I'm well aware of what it means, man.
So what?
Look, I already got Frank off
'cause that's our cousin, all right?
And family's important to me.
You know that, but what
you're asking me to do here
is turn the other cheek to this?
It may not be that easy, all right?
We're talking murder.
-[Nathan] No.
We are talking $50 million to you.
I don't know, Nate.
-Goddamn it, John.
We are brothers, man, all right?
And family always comes before the job.
With that $50 million, you can retire.
Yeah, but I could go down for this.
Hell, we could all go down for it.
Hey, you got to trust me, all right?
This is all part of the plan.
Sign.
You'll receive your deposit
in an offshore account
in 72 hours.
Hey, thank you.
[dramatic music]
Jesse, how the hell did Nathan get out?
[Nathan] Because unfortunately,
my plan was better than yours.
Aw, what's the matter, Rie?
You surprised to see me?
What the hell is going on?
Oh, a conundrum.
Should you tell her or should I?
All right, look, cuz, if
you want me to do this,
we gotta do it my way 'cause your plan
isn't gonna work.
What are you talking about?
Look, do you trust me?
'Cause you're gonna have to do some time.
Man, are you crazy?
I'm not stepping foot inside of a prison.
Look, if you want your money
and you wanna get revenge
on Riley and Kevin,
then we gotta do it this way.
Now like I said, do you trust me?
What's the plan?
[Jesse] Can you get your
brother to sign an affidavit?
I don't know.
My brother's real by the book.
He got me off, so he
ain't that by the books.
I'll talk to him.
Or offer him 50 mil.
Yeah. Money talks.
[Jesse] Good.
I'm gonna talk to Riley
and I'm gonna tell her
everything that we discussed.
And then I'll gain her trust
and we'll go from there.
All right.
[sighs]
Baby, I need to tell you something.
What is it?
You know you can tell me anything.
Hmm.
Baby?
Riley, I'm not who you think I am.
What are you talking about?
Okay. Um...
My real name is Frank Robertson.
Frank Robertson?
[chuckles] -I'm a hustler.
And I've been faking this whole time
as a celebrity photographer.
Look, I'm sorry, Riley.
-No, you playing.
No, seriously. I...
I didn't mean to fall in love with you.
I don't understand. I don't even know
what you're talking about right now.
There's-there's more.
Your husband, Mr. Maywood.
Okay. What about my husband?
[sighs] Riley, he tried
to hire me to kill you.
Something about insurance money.
Are you serious?
Look, I'm sorry but I... I'm
just telling you the truth.
Wait. Wait, what? What are
you even talking about?
Why are you saying this to me right now?
What are you... -I'm sorry. Listen,
-but I'm telling you the truth.
- Who are you? What...
I'm telling you the truth, okay?
Look, he found out who I was
and he said that if I didn't
do what he told me to do,
he'd kill you then...
-No, he didn't.
Listen, listen, he was gonna
tell you who I really was
and have me go back to jail.
-Who are you?
I cannot go back to that life, Riley.
I have to get out of here.
I have to go. No.
[Jesse] No, no, no, Riley, Riley.
Get the hell away from me. Get off of me.
Get off of me. -[Jesse] Baby, baby, baby.
Listen. Listen.
-Get off of me.
You know who I am. -I
don't know who you are.
No, no.
-Yes, you do.
You do. Listen.
Look, I'm the man you
fell in love with. Okay?
And I'm the man who fell in love with you.
Yeah.
Listen, listen, listen, Riley.
- How could you do this to me?
- Riley, Riley. Listen, listen.
I loved you.
I gave you myself.
I trusted you.
And oh, my God, I did
things that I promised
Nathan I would never do, ever do again.
No, no, you didn't do it for nothing.
Listen, you did it for love.
You did it for love.
Okay. I love you.
And that's why I'm telling you.
Riley, please.
I can't breathe. I can't breathe.
Please. I just need a minute right now.
I just need a minute right now, please.
He told me about Kevin.
He told you about that?
Yeah. He said that you and Kevin
stole $250 million from him
and that's why he wants you dead,
because then he will get it back.
Wow.
Wow.
-What is so funny?
That 250 million I don't even have.
Kevin stole that from me.
He made me sign it over to him
because I thought I was
putting it in a secure account.
I don't even have that money anymore.
Wait, so you're broke too?
As of now, yes.
But... that 250 million is mine.
And I get it back if
something happens to Kevin.
Say less. Look, look.
I got an idea but I need
you to trust me, okay?
Listen, tomorrow night,
you're not gonna go to your sister's.
You're gonna stay in with Nathan
and you're gonna tell him
everything that happened
between you and Kevin and
how you lost the money.
Are you insane? Why would I do that?
Listen, because Nathan
still loves you, okay?
He has a soft spot for you.
Trust me.
How do you know?
I know because when I asked him
why he didn't kill you himself,
he said he couldn't do it.
He said he couldn't hurt you.
Listen...
you're gonna tell Nathan
that you're gonna give him half the money
if he kills Kevin.
Now Nathan is gonna fight
back in the beginning,
but eventually he will agree
because he is a money guy.
Now I'm gonna stick to the original plan
and Nathan is gonna think that
it's me breaking into your house
but actually it's going to be...
[car beeps]
Do as I say and nobody gets hurt.
Don't shoot, don't shoot.
I'm not gonna kill you.
But you're gonna do something for me,
otherwise I'm gonna kill your whole family.
Now here's what's gonna happen.
[gunshot]
[thuds]
Y'all both set me up.
Well, you gotta be a
little bit more careful
about who you screw, my love.
You see, Frank here...
that's my cousin.
Jesse, is this true?
[Jesse] I'm sorry, Rie.
Family first.
Wow.
Look, I'd love to stay and play with y'all
but I got a plane to catch.
Let me know when that
money is in my account.
Yes, sir.
Thank you, cuzzo.
I'm glad I could trust you.
It was nice knowing you, Rie.
You're amazing, really.
[gunshot] -[Riley screams]
Did you really think this will all work out
without there being a
little casualty, Frank?
Stupid.
Oh my God, no. Please.
What are you... please, baby.
[Nathan] Oh, you see, officer,
I-I just followed my cheating
wife to her lover's home.
And then, I caught them in bed together.
And then, Jesse, he just pulls out a gun
and tries to shoot me.
And then, we wrestled and the gun goes off
and next thing I know,
Jesse takes one in the back.
It's wrong, baby. You had it wrong, okay?
Please. It's not how it looks.
Please don't interrupt,
because this is the best part.
And then my-my wife, she...
she tried to take the gun
away from me and well,
you can guess what happens next, right?
[chuckles]
Please. No, no.
Please put the gun down.
Please don't. Please don't do this. Okay?
I'm sorry.
Dammit, Rie.
I loved you.
Sorry things didn't work.
[gunshot]
[grunts]
[grunting]
[grunting]
[grunts]
[gunshot]
[screams]
[gunshot]
Hey.
[dramatic music]
[indistinct radio chatter]
Mr. Maywood, how you doing, sir?
Is that a joke, Detective?
You know what, you're right. My apologies.
Look, I just have a couple
questions for you, all right?
So you walked into the house
and you caught your wife and her lover
in the bed together?
Yes.
-Okay.
And after you got
attacked, you had no choice
but to defend yourself against
your wife and her lover?
Yeah.
Classic case of self-defense,
if you ask me.
You just got here.
How'd you know what happened?
I have a signed affidavit
from the DA's office
that says exactly what happened.
Yeah. Tell your brother I
said hey for me, all right?
Will do.
You have a good one, Mr. Maywood.
You too, Detective.
[singer] I remember you was down for me
I couldn't be without you
You could've told me you
were switching for me
I would tell him that shit was doubtful
Now I'm trying to figure
out what I stick around for
Stick around for
And you try to play me
But you played the both of us
No, no
And I can't remember why I do, too
I'm glad you do me
right, these others can't
No, no
And I could never be ashamed
No regrets, no dirt on my name
No dirt on my name
I did some things for you
I know some niggas die for
Die for, die for
I did some things for
you I know some niggas
Some niggas die for
Die for, die for
But I'mma pull up, drink some
'Cause every guy gotta
take an I sometimes
The train might even slip
off of the rails sometimes
But keep your head up
We gonna pull up
[vocalizing]
