Cocaine Sisters (2023) s01e09 Episode Script

Morning.
Good morning.
Oh, shit.
Are you are you okay?
Yeah.
I'm fine, we gotta find a place to stay.
Jesus, are you trying to look homeless?
We are, are we?
Yes but we don't have to look.
So what are we going to do now?
I'm trying to look for a job.
So how did you hear about us?
I saw your hiring sign.
Look, I've been in the hospitality business for the
last five years and I am a hard worker.
That's what we need here.
Hard workers.
When can you start?
Immediately.
But I do have one question.
Why is there a for sale sign out front?
Because I'm looking for a buyer.
Until then, I got to pay the bills.
Would you like to buy it?
Oh, yeah.
I wish.
You are hired.
Thank you so much.
Come in around noon and I will get your
paperwork done and have you working by tomorrow.
Thank you so much.
Appreciate it.
Will you be doing a background check? No.
If I did background checks, I'd have to
fire half my staff and my wife.
Right. Okay. Great.
Thank you.
See ya.
Again.
How the fuck do we keep coming up short?
Because these niggas can't count.
Well, I'm going to need you to fix that.
Get them some fucking tutoring or something. Hold on.
Look at this.
Who the fuck walking to my off
Scar.
I'm here to collect my weekly 100K.
So uhh
Okay so we're back in business.
That's good news.
I can tell you right now,
The streets are going to be happy to hear this.
Let's see
10, 20, 30
Baby can you get another 50 out of the
Yeah. Hold on.
So does this mean we're back in business?
No, not at all.
Think of this as a franchise fee for now.
So we just give you a 100k
and you don't give us product?
What kind of franchise is that?
Okay, easy now.
It's a lay away franchise.
The sooner you lay away the
killed my son, sooner you get back to business.
This is bullshit.
All right, so let's say
we're not interested in a franchise fee.
I'm sure you've seen the news.
Yeah
I'm looking for more bodies to send another message.
It would be a shame if you two became available.
Baby, listen.
Let's just do this, okay? It's okay. It's all right.
Come on. Give me another 50.
Give me another 50. All right.
30, 40, 50.
And she's getting another 50 here.
I can tell you, streets are going
to be really happy about this.
Here we go.
30, 40, 50.
Here's your franchise fee.
Time to get back to work.
What work might that be?
Finding that motherfucker.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Are you fucking
kidding me!
Baby, baby, come on. Come on, come on, come on, come
on, come on, come on, come on. It's okay.
Veronica.
Thank you, baby.
Enjoy.
Little gustavo special.
What did he say?
He said he really likes you.
I really like you too, Jaime.
It's so peaceful.
I wish we could stay here forever.
Well, you think you get used to a domesticated life.
He could still read lips
But yeah, if it were with you.
Just for that, you get a little reward.
That's a beautiful ring.
Where did you get it?
Thanks.
I have to answer this.
You keep enjoying your breakfast.
Finally.
It's about damn time you answer the phone.
I've been trying to reach you all day and night!
I'm fine, dad.
I'm spending a little time with Veronica.
He's fine.
I'm on the phone with him right now.
Do you want to speak with him?
No, I'm too upset to talk to him.
He should never treat his mother this way.
Mijo.
You had your mother and me worried sick.
Until we find out who killed your brother,
you need to pick up my calls immediately.
It won't happen again.
okay
I can't believe it.
After everything that has happened,
You don't have Arturo and Raul following him!
We need to give him some space.
He's in love.
Space?
We are his parents.
He is our responsibility.
And you know what?
I deal with it myself.
Let's go.
I hate being late.
We could ignore your brother for 2 hours.
Or 3 hours, maybe.
Aren't you going to answer that?
You've been ignoring your friend's calls all weekend.
Yeah, you're right.
I probably should.
Hello?
Where the fuck are you?
We're camping.
I swear to God, sister or no sister,
I'm going to fucking kill you.
Next time I call you, you answer your phone!
I'll be right back.
What the fuck happened?
I was in a rush to pack and get to the campsite.
Completely forgot about dropping the stuff off.
Well, I got evicted and I can't get into her house.
My key is not working.
What the fuck is up with that?
I got the locks changed after Nana died.
I mean, she gave the key to
the handyman, the mailman and everybody else.
And you didn't think to give me a key?
You know I am, Alani.
I'm absent minded.
Fuck. When do you get back?
Will's been calling me.
In two days.
I am desperate.
I need to get into my apartment
and get ready for my new job.
Can you at least wire me some money?
No problem.
I'll send it by, PalPay.
And guess what sis.
What?
Gustavo paid the mortgage for us.
Really?
That was nice of him, wasn't it?
He's a really great guy.
And I'm really sorry about everything.
I'll bring that back when I'm back. Okay?
But this is good news, right? Yeah.
Gustavo seems like a great guy.
Hold on, Alani.
That's the club.
Hello?
You fucked up bitch.
What are you talking about?
You miss anything?
Missing anything? Like what?
What's going on around
this motherfucker that you don't know?
That you missing a whole ounce of coke.
What are you talking about?
Well, I seen Vanessa take your shit
in the dressing room.
Why didn't you say something to me?
Bitch you know the rules. Fuck.
Anything left behind could be stolen, taken, it's free.
So that's what happened to it.
So what are you calling me for?
Trust me, bitch, I don't want to call you.
But she's dead.
Who's dead?
Vanessa. Okay?
The bitch died from the pure
coke that she stole from you.
Stupid bitch.
Oh, my God.
My God.
Are the cops after me?
Not yet.
They will be.
You gonna have a trail of bodies
leaning right back to your stupid ass.
Everything okay?
Girl drama. Strip club shit.
You know, one day I'm going
to rescue you from that life.
I really hope so.
Who could have ever seen this coming?
I did.
It was just a matter of time.
Things are just going too good,
and I just don't want us to end up cliche.
Seven million dollars is enough to retire on.
So what you're saying is my idea
of getting out of the game, like, a year ago
was actually a good idea?
Is that what you're saying, babe? Let me hear it.
Let me hear it.
You were right.
Thank you.
I had my doubts, and I guess it was
It was a good time to get out.
Right.
Let's cash out.
Spend the rest of our lives fucking getting fat.
Okay, let's do it.
Oh, wait.
You still got Joseph.
Let's do Joseph.
But I like that idea.
Yes, you do.
Hey, send in Joseph.
I like that
Checkmate!
What's going on?
Check
What?
Check. That's all I want to hear.
You got our check?
Kelvin?
Yes.
Things have been a little crazy, all right?
There's an issue with accounting, and as you know,
we can't okay, let me stop you right there. Okay?
First of all, ain't shit going on with our accounting.
And what the fuck does that have to do with our check?
Nothing.
But what it means is I'm going
to need a little bit more time.
Joseph, we want our money.
30 days ago, you said that we'd have our check today.
Do we need to show you how we make our money?
Is that a threat?
Did you just threaten me?
I'm holding $7 million of your money.
Are you threatening me?
In case you forgot, your whole little
livelihood depends on me right about now. Yeah.
And as far as I'm concerned, you
should have about 24 hours security around me
until you get your fucking money.
You're right.
You've got a point.
To answer your question.
What?
You fucking crazy thinking you can
come in here and handle us?
We don't get handled.
Something you should know about me.
I will find your family
and I will kill every single one of them.
And I would have them melted down and made into
jewelry that I would wear to their fucking funeral.
Okay, well, if you could find any family that actually
gives a shit about me, then go on ahead.
Kill them all.
Okay, baby, you up.
I'm not the bitch you want to fuck with.
This what has come to, Kelvin.
Oh, yeah, you brought it there, nigga.
Look at that
See how quick he got that motherfucker?
Here you go.
Drop it.
There's your check.
It's $100,000.
Okay, babe?
Give me about two weeks and I
will get you your fucking money.
And when I do, I don't ever want to
see you and that goddamn gun put it down.
And I want to see you again.
Our business is over with.
This is built on load to yourself.
When we get the rest of our money,
I'm going to kill him personally,
and I'm going to watch.
Quality time.
You got any painting experience?
How about you?
You.
Get in the car.
Come here.
Hey.
Hey, son.
You got any work experience?
Yeah, painting.
You the man I'm looking for.
Get in the car.
Woah woah.
What the fuck are you doing? Say get in the car.
Get your ass in the back.
Stay right here, baby.
Ms. Kim.
Hey, Ms. Kim.
What do you want?
I have your rent check.
This is not enough.
What do you mean? It's 1350.
Yes, 1350 rental.
But what about door?
You're crazy as boyfriend broke in
looking for you.
Deon?
I don't know the name of all your man.
I show the footage.
This won't happen again.
Payment for door will be added to next month's rental.
Understand? Yes.
You got it.
Thank you.
I'm moving.
Alani, where's my shit?
I don't have it with me.
The fuck you mean you don't got it with you?
I don't have it with me, Will.
Alani.
Hide
Because when I see you, it's on site.
You, Jayden and Deon and anybody
else you fucking love are dead. You hear me?
Will, calm down, okay?
I don't do coke. I don't sell coke.
I don't even want to be a part of this shit.
CPS has been in and out of the
house, and since she came by when the
cops were here, it just made everything worse.
I swear.
I gave the coke to my friend to put into storage, okay?
She's on vacation, but she'll be back in two days.
I swear I am not lying to you.
Okay, well, then go to storage and get my shit.
It's in her name.
I don't have a key.
Fucking kidding me.
Two days.
Two days, Alani.
If you don't have my coke by then, I swear to
God, I'm going to kill you and everybody you love.
You hear me?
Yeah, okay.
Is everything okay?
It's just some problems at the car lot, that's all.
Your mother's getting worse Will.
Maybe it's time to let someone else
come in and, you know, handle that problem.
That "problem", Jasper?
That's my mom and your fucking wife,
so it's our job to take care of her.
Ain't you the one who said for better or for worse?
Yes, I said for better or worse.
Not for worse or crazy.
Nigga, watch a fucking mom. My mom ain't crazy.
Then what is she then?
Hey, mom.
What are you talking about? Nothing.
We're just talking about how much we love you.
I took my meds today, and nobody had to remind me.
Is that right?
I'm so proud of you, mom.
Thank you, baby.
Like I said, my mom ain't crazy.
Hi, Mrs. Lawrence.
Is everything okay?
Yeah, I'm just here for my weekly check.
Can I come in?
Oh, right. Yeah, of course.
Come on in.
I'm happy to hear everything's
going well for you, Jayden.
Thank you, Mrs. Lawrence.
You know
A lot of times I get called
into situations that are just a misunderstanding.
I'm going to try to have you two
back to your life as soon as possible.
us sisters got to stick together.
Yes, us sisters got to stick together.
Is everything okay?
Oh, you don't want to hear about my troubles.
You've enough of your own.
Hey, Jayden, babe, can you go to your room?
Let me talk to Mrs Lawrence.
It's Mary.
You could call me Mary.
Okay, Mary.
Jayden, can you go to your room
and let me and Mary talk?
Yeah, no problem.
I'll see you later, Mrs. Lawrence.
Seems like you need an ear.
I think my husband's cheating on me.
Why do you think that?
I had my tubes tied.
And that's why you think he's cheating on you?
No.
I found condoms in his car.
Men are like babies.
Just follow the crumbs,
and they'll lead you right to the mess.
Okay, you didn't hear this from me,
but when your man's not home, where he's supposed to be,
those late nights, there's
this fun little app called Where9 My Boo At.
Let me see your phone.
Let's See
Yep.
Now, when you leave here, go to the
cell phone dealer, buy a cheap phone.
Download the app on that as well.
When you have the app downloaded on both phones,
put the cheap phone in his trunk.
Then you can follow it and know
where your booth's at at all times.
You know, you would have made a great spy.
I know.
Cheers to that.
All right, sweetie.
This is our banquet hall.
We have a seat right up front for you.
Make yourself comfortable.
All right, y'all, we got a big event ahead of us, okay?
So let's get settled in.
First things first.
Everyone, this is our new team member, Alani.
All right, now, this is Jerome.
He's in charge of parking.
Don't ever trust him with yo' keys.
This is Terrell, in charge of kitchen.
Don't ever leave food in the refrigerator.
He will steal it.
This is Aaron, our bartender.
Half the bottles in here are filled with water
and Keisha, who you'll be working directly with and for.
She's in charge of our serving staff.
Don't never leave your purse unattended.
Looks like I'll fit right in.
Hello, everybody.
Can I see you?
Most of you here already know who I am.
For those of you who don't,
my name is Andrew Lawrence,
Business consultant extraordinaire.
I would like to welcome each and every one of
you to the fourth annual Black Entrepreneur Networking Event.
A lot of people don't know this.
Do you know what side food should be served on?
Yes, the left.
And do you know why that is?
Because most people are right handed. Exactly.
And, girl, you see all the niggas out there?
Yeah.
For some reason, Silverware just likes to disappear.
So if someone hacks you for a
replacement fork, take the one you're replacing. Okay.
Also, scan the room.
Keep an eye out in case anyone needs a refill.
Girl, hell naw.
In case motherfuckers are putting food in
their purse and asking for seconds.
This is not a buffet.
Let's go. You got this?
All right. Yeah, I got it.
One of the major focuses of the
black community is to have inclusion.
As you'll look around this year, you'll notice that we've
invited some of our other brothers here with us.
We have some Asian brothers over there.
We have our Hispanic brothers in the
house, and our Indian brothers as well.
I see you.
We've invited them here this year because we
can no longer be just the black community.
The key to our success and all of
the other minorities in this room success is
to have one economically functioning minority community.
Man that brother's deep. Yeah.
That is not to say we do not
need them in our community, but unfortunately,
we do not see them spending in our community,
shopping in our community, buying in our community.
As a matter of fact, it's often the other way around.
Makes sense.
The only time I ever hear anyone talk about that
kind of knowledge is when they get out of prison.
Yeah, well, he's been coming here every year for the
last five years after he got out of prison.
Really? Yeah.
That brother is on top of his game.
Everybody who fucks up is a fuck up.
Can everybody say that with put wealth in,
then not take wealth out..
Come on, I think you guys can
do a little bit better than that.
Put wealth in. Not take wealth out. Exactly.
Give yourself a round of applause.
All right
Enjoy this delicious food we have here today.
Don't be afraid to talk to one another.
Get loose, get liquored up,
and let's get a little wild.
I need four more chardonnay, please.
Coming right up.
How are the sales going?
Slow.
Go out there and push for drinks.
That's where we make our money.
Get you out there.
Hey, you got any more coke?
This is all I brought.
Maybe we could get some here.
You think Jerry might have some?
Maybe. He's always up to something.
Let's get Jerry.
You remember the last time I got
high and I stumbled into the business?
Girl, you are so lit.
That was so funny.
She was looking at me like, if you don't
put it together and I was just like,
I told you not to do those last two bumps.
Man, we was doing back flips, front flips, legs wide open.
And then I snorted some coke right off of him.
Yeah, I was just coke off those washboard abs.
You got me thinking about Mike right now.
Girl told Mike. Sick.
Hey, sorry to bother you.
I was wondering if you knew where we
could score some powder at this event?
Stuck up bitch.
Why she act like she never
seen somebody do coke before?
I know somebody has some coke at this party. Let's go.
She's probably doing something now.
This is from Keisha.
I thought you told everyone to get
to know each other and get loops.
I've done so many of these, I just
sit back and relax at this point.
How did you end up here, Alani?
How do you know my name?
Because I'm wearing a name tag.
That's how you know my name.
No.
Bowie State University.
That's where I went to college.
You don't remember me, do you?
I asked you out on a date and you shot me down so fast.
I'm sorry.
My head was in the clouds back then.
So
Yep.
Alani.
Don't tell me.
Davis.
Or is it Mrs. Now?
Oh, no.
It's still Davis.
Have a sit.
You know, I am shocked you would
have remembered me after all these years.
I guess somebody like you
wouldn't remember somebody like me.
You were the smartest girl on campus.
And the most attractive, might I add.
I am flattered.
After seeing you tonight, I guess that's the
day I should have probably said yes to.
Is that right? Yeah.
Well, it's never too late.
Trust me, you don't want none of this train wreck.
I hate to break up this Romeo and Juliet
moment, but we have to get dessert out.
I was just catching up with an old friend.
Why don't you catch up with dessert now?
Will do.
It's so nice to see you back again, Mr. Lawrence.
I don't recall seeing you here.
I've been here every year for the last four years.
You've been here.
How do you not know me?
A lot of faces.
If you don't mind, I need to get back to my phone.
Yeah, I won't bother you anymore.
I know how busy you must be.
Yeah, you do that.
Hello, Mr. Handsome.
Can you take our photo?
Of course.
Beautiful.
Gorgeous. Thank you.
You're welcome.
So you're Mr. Celebrity now?
I have a few fans.
May I have this dance?
In the middle of work?
Come on, you only live once.
I mean, I'm the client of this event.
I think I get a little leeway. Trust me.
I don't think your boss will mind
if I ask you to dance.
No, about that
Alani. Yes?
You're needed in the kitchen.
Right.
Wait.
Keisha.
That's your name, right?
Yes, Mr. Lawrence.
Keisha, I would like to ask a very special favor.
Yes, anything.
Can I share a dance with
Of course.
I meant a dance with Alani here.
Oh
Wait, and before the night is through,
share a dance with you as well?
Yes, certainly.
I'll be waiting.
All right.
Now, where were we?
Okay
So here we are.
Ten years later.
I'm going to try this again.
Can I take you out to lunch?
I don't know.
I'll think about it.
I mean, it's lunch.
What harm could lunch do, right?
Here's my card.
I'm old fashioned.
I don't call men.
Is that right?
I don't.
Hey. What are you doing?
Having my morning espresso.
You're still coming back today, right? Yeah, today.
Don't worry.
Don't worry?
Veronica. It's not your life he threatened, okay?
He said he would kill Jayden, so don't worry.
It doesn't really work for me right now.
Relax. I got you, sis.
You know, every time you say you got me,
I feel like I'm in trouble.
Go out and do something.
Get your mind off things. I'll be back.
You'll have your coke,
and we'll celebrate in the morning. Yeah.
We'll never laugh about this. Okay?
Yeah babe. Come in.
You look good.
Thank you.
So you going out tonight? Yeah.
With dad?
No, I just need to breathe a little.
Just be a few hours, okay?
Don't do anything stupid.
Just need a breath a little. Okay.
I'll be back.
All right.
Thank you.
It's been a while.
Yeah, it's been a minute.
Alani.
Hey.
You say you don't call men,
Yet you give me your number.
I call the number, yet you don't answer.
Don't worry.
I know what it is.
It's my breath.
No.
Aaron, right? Wow.
You don't even remember my name.
Close.
It's Andrew.
Andrew, right.
I just have a lot going on right now.
It's not you.
Was I the only one feeling the chemistry?
There is something there.
Look, Andrew, I have a lot going on right now,
and I just don't have time for romance.
Can I get you guys anything else?
I'm good.
I didn't know you go to this bar.
Yeah, I used to come here all the time.
I really got to go.
What are you doing?
Sounds like you really need a friend.
Maybe we can just drink and talk.
Just talk.
I have uhh
Son at home.
Thanks, V.
I guess I just overreacted.
You know what?
I think you're right.
I just need to let loose for a bit.
Okay.
Now where were we?
More drinking.
Do you remember Mr. Prichard?
Do I.
The guy gave me an A to stay after class.
Just to talk dirty to me and
call it a lesson in psychology.
Weirdo.
Oh, man.
So do you have any family?
Any kids?
I have a daughter. Yeah?
And I've had my share of sour relationships.
Aww
What's her name?
Brandy.
Brandy is very pretty.
She looks a lot like you.
Hey, what you doing?
My mom's gonna she gonna she's gonna freak out.
It's like, legal for, like, kids?
Hit it like that?
My mom's not feeling well.
I'll talk to you later.
Bye
Brought you your favorite, Pozole.
Had your favorite chef make it for you.
The food smells delicious.
Next time you decide to run off,
make sure to let me know where you're going.
Mom.
Don't forget I'm a man.
And you don't forget I'm your mother.
Okay.
Aren't you going to get that?
No.
This is my time with you.
Nobody interrupts that.
Pozole?
That's one way to get back at your mom's good graces.
I'm trying.
Want a bowl?
No, thank you.
I need a minute to talk to you.
Can it wait?
It could.
But no.
Hurry up.
Well, what was so important?
Just business.
Love you, mom.
I love you, too.
See you tomorrow's.
See you tomorrow.
So how's the pozole?
Horrible.
I only tell him I like it so he has a
way to make up with me when he disappoints me.
So..
Yeah?
if things calm down a bit in your life,
is there a chance we could
actually spend some quality time together?
Oh, my God.
Like you dropped out of the sky.
You're too perfect.
Can't imagine a guy like you with a girl like me.
Get out of here.
What's wrong with you?
Baggage.
We all carry a bit of that.
Yeah, well, I got loads of it.
More than you will ever need.
I think you had little bit too much to drink.
Can I drive you home?
Only the first date, and he already want to take me home.
Oh, I didn't know this was a date.
I have a son.
I'll be quiet.
Is that weed I smell?
That's my little brother Jaime.
He thinks me and my sister don't
know he smokes weed, but we do.
So do you want to see the rest
of my house or just my bedroom?
Your bedroom.
I'm so hungry.
Jayden?
Heeeyyy I know you.
Do I smell weed?
Weed? No.
It's organic.
Are you high?
No.
Are you?
No.
Is your mother home?
She's busy with my dad.
Mom?
No.
Jayden.
Mary.
What are you doing here?
I'm sorry. It's so weird.
You know that tracker that you downloaded on my phone?
Well, I was looking for my husband,
and then it led me here,
and his car is right outside.
Hey, are you coming back for more
Who the fuck is he?
Mary.
Mary. Mary. Mary.
Who the fuck are you, dawg?
Mary.
Mary.
Hey, wait.
Mary.
Hey, listen. Hey.
I didn't know he was your husband, okay?
Hey, Mary.
Yes, I work for Child Protective Services.
I need officers at 1818 Bryant Street.
I have a child in danger
and I need officers assistance now.
Us sisters gotta stick together huh?!
Come on.
Open the fucking door!
Hold on for just a second.
I think my daughter's on the other line.
Honey, are you okay?
Yes.
Mommy's going to be home a little bit later, all right?
I'm just doing something I should
have done a long time ago.
Mary, please just open the fucking door. Please.
Who the fuck is he?
Jayden. And not now.
No, mom. Who the fuck is he?
He just fucking somebody, okay?
He's fucking random.
What about dad?
See, this is why he left you.
Because you always fucking everybody.
You just a slut.
Shut your fucking mouth!!
You have a squad car three minutes away, okay?
No. Hey.
I'm not letting you take him away from me. Hey.
Mary, please, baby, let me talk to you for one second.
Open the door, baby.
Open open the fucking door.

What's going on Mom? What's going on?
I'm not leaving without that.
Please, we have to go.
We have to go. Come on. Come on, come on. Come on.

Ma'am, stay back. Not that you away from me.
You need to come with us.
Listen. Taser.

He's going to the station. Ma'am, stay back.
Let me talk to him really quick.
Bring a friend, bring a lawyer.
Please. I'm sorry.
Baby, baby, look at me.
Get your shit out of the house before I get home.
Mary, listen.
Officer, if he does not get out of my face,
I would like to file a complaint.
Fuck you.
We wouldn't be in this position if you did.
Mary please, don't do this.
Welcome to the system.
