[DOOR OPENS.]
Oh.
I'm sorry, sir.
You guys get so nervous when you see us.
I'm sorry.
We pride ourselves on invisible service.
- What's that mean? - Just that the cleaning, it should look like magic, not that you see us, so excuse me.
How'd you get this job? Most of the people here are generational, so we all have a pact.
- I'm sorry? - There's never really an ad for these types of jobs.
They're word-of-mouth, so my aunt worked here, and she helped me get the job.
Oh, okay.
Can you sit and talk? I'm sorry, sir.
That's not allowed.
Where do you all live? There are staff quarters, sir.

I can't.
Oh.
I'm sorry that he said those things to you.

[SNIFFLES.]
He didn't mean it.
Don't you always say that "what's in the heart speaks"? That's the Bible.
- He meant it.
- No.
- He did.
- He was just upset.
He said that to me before.
- What? - Not much of a mother to her.
Oh, honey, you are.
You're good with her.
She doesn't even like me.
All kids, they want to see their parents together.
Yeah, well, just don't understand how he hooked up with her in the first place.
That bitch.
Well, she wasn't always that way, and they knew each other since they were little.
We loved her.
We didn't know all the things that happened in that house where she grew up.
Her father, he was a Ooh, I can't even say it.
And I used to wonder why she never wanted to go home.
I understand all of that, but that don't make it okay for her to take that baby.
Everybody comes to a place from somewhere.
[BARRY SIGHS, SNIFFLES.]
I remember how I remember when your mama told me she was pregnant.
Oh, god, we were so happy.
When I found out it was a boy, my heart went to pieces.
Well, in the most manly way, you know? One look at you and I knew my life had changed.
I never knew that kind of love.
Then you grew up and You became so smart.
Just a Just a good kid.
You never gave us any trouble Then you met Ruth [SIGHS.]
And you had a baby of your own.
I know that anger, son, that I know that that kind of love that makes you want to kill to protect.
But you got to hear me, son, with all that's in me You can't do this.
[SOBS.]
I'm gonna give him all of the time he needs to get through this, but I got to tell you, I'm tired.
I'm tired of sitting around here trying to be quiet, so that I don't upset him.
- Yeah.
Just - I can't do this.
I can't.
Just give him time.
I'm trying.
[SNIFFLES.]
Yeah.
I'm really trying.
Oh, God.
What time is it? Oh, lord.
It's 6:30 A.
M.
Mmm.
[SCOFFS.]
My God, where are they? I want my daughter, man.
And we're gonna get her, man.
Look, just Just give me the gun.
I don't have a gun.
And so we're lying to each other now? - I want to kill him.
- Who? - Whoever they call the highest.
- Oh - I want to kill him.

- Donald, I shot a man.
- No, you shot a lowlife.
Now I just need you to let this go.
- What is wrong with you? - I'm just doing my job.
What you're doing is stalking.
- Sir - Look, stop it! Do you know how much trouble your son is in? My son is incapable of doing anything like that.
So you're calling my daughter a liar? And you really couldn't get him to talk? No.
- Well, I bet I can.
- You always do.
