Murphy, what are we gonna do about the drugs?
Forget about the drugs.
We're sort of dealing with something.
_
Max?
I'm here.
I thought you were leaving town.
Oh, I tried.
But the money I hid in the lake house wasn't there.
So, I got caught.
Yeah.
Do you know how long you're gonna be in here for?
Probably a few years.
That's not that bad.
We can make this work.
What?
It's just, ever since you came back,
I feel like there's something wrong with me. I-I...
I think about you all the time.
Murphy, stop.
I know it was you.
You were the only one who knew that money was there.
And suddenly Guiding Hope is back in business?
And if you even try to lie to me...
I didn't take it. Jess and Felix found it,
and I didn't think you needed it.
Of course you didn't.
Because you only ever think about yourself.
Why didn't you just tell me?
I would have had a ten-hour lead on Dean
if I hadn't gone back for that money and now look where I am.
So, what, this is my fault?
You committed a crime.
Honestly, Murphy...
...I'm done.
Are you leaving?
Where are you going?
Take care of yourself.
Max?
Wait, Max.
Max! Max!

Mmm. Mmm.
Where'd you, um, where'd you throw my underwear?
No idea. Stay naked.
Please.
Um...
Where are they?
What's this?
Hmm.
I-I got that for my ex.,
to wear for my ex.
Um...
- But we never used it. - So, it's...
Oh, you never used it?
No.
Hmm.
I've actually never used one before.
That's just plain silly.
I'm just gonna...
put this on here.
?
You got that on really quick.
Jess?
Uh... yeah?
Are you busy?
A little bit.
Stop.
Text Felix.
Texting Felix.
Want to grab a drink, question mark.
Jess is busy having sex with that Sterling chick. Send.
Text from Felix.
"Can't RN."
Oh.
Cool.
You want a piece of this? You want a piece of this?
You want a piece of Felix Bell?
Okay, come and get it. Come and get it.
Hi!
Here.
Awesome.
Thank you, Sam. This is...
This means a lot and...
That's what we need clean.
This one is your cut.
Okay.
Is it a check or...?
Is-is... is that it?
For all three of us?
Yeah.
After I took my piece.
I'm sorry, did you say your-your piece?
That's not...
I'm sorry, but I don't...
You know, with all due respect, I-I have to...
I'm gonna have to put my foot down
and I'm gonna have to say, like, no.
Like, I'm sorry, but th-this is...
um, unacc-unacceptable.
What are you gonna do about it?
Shoot me?
No. That's not... I don't even know how to use that.
It's just to make me feel safe around you.
Max Parish got arrested.
Max is alive?
It would appear that way.
Change that.
Okay.
Find me Darnell.
It ain't as bad as you think.
Yeah. Thanks.
I have a wife and kid they only let me talk to once a day.
So, I paid a guy 400 bucks for this.
400 bucks for that?
Thought you said this place wasn't that bad.
Hey, do you know who that guy was?
Mike something. Dude's a lunatic.
Do you know what he's in for?
Dealing.
H, I think.
For who?
Nia Bailey?
Could be.
Coming to breakfast?
I, um...
I think I'm just gonna stay in here, actually.
You know, just read a book or something.
Detective Dean Riley wants a word.
Oh, yeah? Well, you can tell him he can go...
Where is he?
Yeah, he's not coming. Not much I can do.
Hey, Murph. Um...
You need to get up. You got to get ready for work.
Mm, I'm sick. I'm just gonna...
I'm not going.
Hey.
Okay, uh...
Uh, I'm gonna get you some water, okay?
No, I'm fine. I'm just...
Just gonna sleep.
Okay.
Who is it?
It's Dean.
I need to talk to you.
Go away!
It's about Max.
He's in trouble.
Come on, Murphy! Open the door!
Whatever you have to say, you say it out there.
You need to get Max to talk to me.
Why on earth would I get Max to talk to you?
Otherwise, he's going to die.
What are you talking about?
He-he flipped on Nia.
She wanted him dead on the outside.
You think she doesn't have guys inside who could finish the job?
Like it or not, I'm the only one who can protect him.
Okay, then protect him!
That's not how it works.
He has to tell me what he knows.
You're unbelievable!
You know, I didn't have to come here.
Look,
Max knows where Nia's stash is.
That'll give me the leverage
to have him moved to a prison out of state.
But... he won't talk to me,
and I thought maybe you could convince him.
I'm just trying to do the right thing.
You're such a good person.
Okay, Murphy, I tried.
Hey, uh, do you think I can get paid early this week?
No. You can get paid on Friday.
What's the difference if I get paid today or Friday?
Because we can't afford it.
That's why.
Chelsea says you're rich.
Yeah.
I a... Well, you just have to wait
until Friday, okay?
Oh, look who decided to show up.
Yeah, hi. Sorry, sorry.
I know. Sorry. ?Traffic was brutal.
Mm. I drive the same route.
Yeah. We didn't come here together.
We just ran into each other in the parking lot.
Jess, don't. Murphy already told me you guys are, you know...
What?
I know you guys are, you know...
Whoa.
Come here. I need to talk to you. Where is Murphy?
Uh, sick?
- Hungover. - ?No. She's, um...
- Yeah. - ?Hungover.
Mm-hmm. What do you need to talk to me about?
Oh, I just wanted to give you your cut for you and Murphy.
Oh, my God. Thank God. Okay, great.
Here you go.
This is it?
Yeah. Don't even get me started.
Sam, such a dick.
Whatever. I'm gonna get some coffee.
Hey. Long time.
Yeah. Hi.
They give us free pop here, so I brought you one.
Oh.
Thanks. Thank you.
So what's up? I only got a second.
- Your text sounded important. - Yeah.
I can't tell if Dean is manipulating me or not,
and I'm-I'm... I'm just sort of freaking out.
Manipulating you how?
So De-Dean showed up at my house
and he told me that I have to convince Max.
- I just don't... - Max? What about Max?
Dean said Nia has guys in prison that will kill Max.
Is that true?
Max got arrested?
Oh, my God.
What?
Nothing.
- Darnell, does Nia have guys in pr... - ?Murphy,
Max is done,
and there's nothing you or I can do about it.
I'm really sorry.
- I got to go. - Where are you going?
Back to work.
You haven't even asked me how I'm doing today, Jess.
Okay. How are you doing today?
Terrible, Jess. Terrible.
Why? What's going on? I made a reservation
- for me and Chelsea at Cedar and Fig. - ?Where?
- It was on Chef's Table, Jess. - Move.
It's, like, this super fancy place
- she's always wanted to go, right? - ?Yeah.
And I knew we were getting our first cut last night,
so I was like, "Hey, let's go."
But now I can't afford it because Sam
took all of our cut, and it's just... ugh, so unfair.
Well, Felix, yeah, a lot of things are unfair right now.
I mean, I don't know what to tell you.
Just tell Chelsea money is tight.
I mean, what else are you gonna say?
- She bought a new dress, Jess. - Well...
Look at this text.
Damn, Chels. Thirsty.
- Yeah, I get it. - Move, please.
I don't even know how to respond.
Well, you know, Felix,
I think she wants you to respond with like...
You know?
Wait. What, have you guys not...
yet?
No, Jess, we have not done it yet.
Oh.
I just, I really like her,
and it's been a while for me,
so tonight was supposed to be, like,
the perfect night, you know?
How long has it been?
Let's just say Obama was president.
Happier times all around.
Here.
What's this?
I know you're not in here because you love reading, man.
Thanks.
Please!
I'm sorry, it's not visiting hours.
I need to speak to Max Parish.
It's an emergency.
An emergency? I bet.
Ma'am, you can't stand there.
Can you please just give him a message for me?
I'm begging you.
Please.
- Hello? - Murphy,
no more messages, no more reaching out,
nothing.
You have to tell Dean where Nia's stash house is.
Oh, yeah? That's a great idea.
Dean said he can transfer you out of state.
He said he'll protect you,
but only if you tell him where it is.
Yeah, thanks, but I don't need help from your little boyfriend.
You can hate me all you want, but don't be an idiot.
Max, you're gonna die in there.
Just tell him, please. It's literally your only option.
If I do that,
if I tell him,
it's not just Nia who goes down.
They'll take down everyone who works for her, too.
I can't do that to Darnell.
He doesn't work for Nia anymore. He quit, okay?
Just... just tell Dean where it is.
Just, please, don't be a hero, okay? Please.
Fine.
Like now, Max.
Okay.
I got to go.
Have a nice day.
Nia wants to see you.
- Hey. I'm out of here. - See ya.
- Did you cancel your reservation? - No.
- Felix... - ?What?
I'm just soaking up these last few moments
of knowing I was about to have sex tonight.
- You still might. - ?Yeah.
Nothing's sexier than telling a girl that you're broke.
God, Jess, this sucks.
Sam stole my money, our money.
We earned that. She just took it.
- Like, people can just take things. - ?Yes.
Like I said earlier,
there's nothing we can do about it, Felix,
so...
I really got to go.
Yeah, I know. Have fun banging all night.
Hey. You're here.
Yeah.
Well, you kind of missed the whole day, but, um,
are you feeling better?
Yeah, um, yeah. Uh, can we talk in your office?
Um, Sterling and I are just about to leave, actually.
- She's coming over. - Oh, wow.
What happened to casual?
It is.
Well, I'm trying. I just...
I just, I feel good for the first time since, um,
well, everything, and, um...
I just... I don't know... I guess I was like,
"Well, maybe it's all worth it."
Yeah. Well, have fun. I'll see you back at home.
Okay. Do you need a ride?
No, I'm good. I'm, um, hungry,
so I'll probably just heat up something here.
Okay. I'll see you later.
- I got to go warm up the car. - Forward.
_
Sit down. You want some tea?
I'm okay.
You know why you're here?
I'm sorry. I just couldn't do it.
But Max won't snitch.
Oh, I ain't worried about Max.
I got somebody who's gonna take care of that.
Darnell,
you're a problem for me.
You don't do your job,
then I got to come behind you and clean up your messes.
- One time. - Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Don't act like this the
first time that you gotten close to somebody you shouldn't have.
I'm talking about Jules.
You... you knew about us?
Of course I did.
And you still...?
What? Think I was gonna let you run around with a cop
for the rest of your life, D?
She was onto us.
You're too trusting. You always have been.
Just tell me what you want from me.
I want you to do your job again.
Show me you know where your loyalty should be.
Okay.
'Cause I've known you all your life.
I'd hate to lose you, you understand?
Yeah.
I understand.
And this is accurate?
- Thank you. - Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I thought you were gonna transfer me out of state.
Yeah, but I got to get it approved and whatnot.
Max, these things take time.
Thanks again.
Wait, wait!
Wait!
Sorry, bro.
Thank you.
Welcome back, D.
Sam, what happened?
Josiah's guys hit Grand and Larson about an hour ago.
They took the corner.
This guy won't quit.
I heard he's also trying to make a deal
with Mateo for more supply.
Well, not if I buy up all Mateo's product.
Josiah can't sell what he ain't got.
You can't afford that.
I'll make it work.
In the meantime, let's send Josiah a message.
Sam, take out one of his guys,
and make sure he knows it's from me.
Nia, let me do it.
You?
Give me a second chance to prove to you I can do this.
- Okay. - Nia.
I ain't ask for an opinion.
Get it done.
Y'all can go.
Except you, Vincent. I got a job for you.
Call from 312...
Hello!
Murphy?
Max?
Max, did you, did you talk to Dean?
He didn't hold up his end of the deal, Murphy.
- What do you mean? - I told him everything,
just like you begged me to do, and he did nothing.
Oh, my God, are you okay?
I can't believe I ever listened to you.
If Nia didn't want me dead before,
she sure as hell wants me dead now.
Okay, are you... is there a guard with you now?
Are you safe? Are you, are you safe?
I will never be safe in here.
Open Uber.
Pretzel!
I need to talk to Detective Dean Riley.
It's an emergency.
Ma'am, I'm sorry, he's in a meeting.
Tell him it's Murphy Mason.
I-I can't interrupt him right now.
You know what? I'll wait till you can.
Are you enjoying the toasted crostini a la fromage?
You mean the grilled cheese with a fancy name?
It's, like, the best thing I've ever had in my entire life.
Good, good. ?Have a bite.
Oh, my God.
Right?
Like, it's cheese on bread.
I have to go to the bathroom.
I have an over active bladder.
I don't know why I'm still talking.
- I'll be right back. - Okay.
Hey.
You got this.
Okay.
Oh.
Excuse me.
Whoa. Whoa! Whoa!
Whoa, whoa. What the hell, man?
Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
Oh!
Why?!
Why are you doing this?!
Don't ever steal from Nia.
You hear me?
Yes! Yes! Yes!
What?!
Yes!
All right.
This is your only warning.
Yo.
Hey, man.
Thanks for coming.
So, what's up?
Haven't heard from you in years,
I bump into you once, now I can't get rid of you.
It's not like that.
I need a favor.
What's up?
I need a meeting with Josiah.
Thought you quit.
So did I.
Look, man, if this is a message from Nia...
It's not.
She doesn't even know I'm here.
You turning on Nia?
Wow.
She's gonna kill you, man.
She took everything from me.
I'm-a do the same to her.
Just get me the meeting.
Sorry about that.
What happened? You were gone forever.
Why is your shirt wet?
Oh, I ran into a waiter ran in the hall
who had a tray full of waters.
Oh, no. Are you okay?
I'm good, yeah. I'm good.
Hey, do you want to get out of here?
Now?
Yeah, I think we should go, you know?
Okay.
He was a friend of mine.
Um, do you want something to drink?
Short date.
Ben.
- Hello. - ?Thought you were gonna be out.
I was. And then I came back.
Do you want to go watch the game at your friend's house?
No. This game sucks.
They're gonna lose.
Um, do you want to go see a movie?
Mm, I don't have any money.
I have some.
Here.
Go see a movie.
Uh, what do you want to drink?
Whatever you're having.
You know, just 'cause you gave me money
doesn't mean I'm okay with you boning my sister.
What? I'm... We're not...
I'm just messing with you, man.
- Oh, okay. - But, seriously,
don't... I'll kill you.
What?
Oh, my God, I'm kidding.
Chill out.
Funny.
It's rosé.
I know, be more basic.
Oh, no, that's perfect.
Thank you. I...
I love rosé.
I'm a... rosé man.
What?
No, you're-you're cute.
I can't. Sorry. I got it. I got it.
I should get a condom.
I have one!
Sorry.
Don't know why I yelled that.
Cool.
- Are you good? - ?Yeah.
Are you, are you okay?
I'm totally fine. I'm so sorry.
I don't know what's...
We-we... we don't have to do this.
- No, no! We do, we do, we do! - No, no, no.
- No, it's-it's... - I mean, we don't have to,
obviously... I mean, I...
I want to.
What was that?
Okay.
Oh.
Like, processing this, like,
situation from earlier and...
The adrenaline wore off, and now I think my body's
just doing weird things.
It's okay. It's okay.
Okay.
I'm so sorry.
I should probably just go home.
Okay.
Oh...
I'm gonna just go use the bathroom.
Oh, my God.
That was, um...
I just, I, uh...
I feel like I should be taking notes.
- "Notes"? - ?Yeah.
What, for some other girl?
- No. - ?
Or I don't know. Maybe.
I'm-I'm having a little bit of...
...trouble.
Performing?
You want me to grab the harness again?
No, I...
But, um, no, I...
Oh, God, I know that... I know that we're doing
this whole casual thing, but, um, I, I'm...
I'm starting to have feelings.
For you.
I feel the same way.
You do?
Yeah.
I, uh, I, like, really like you, Jess.
Okay, this is ridiculous.
I need to talk to Detective Dean Riley right now.
Uh, ma'am, ask me again, I'll have you escorted...
- Dean! Dean Riley?! - ?Ma'am!
- I know you're not in a stupid meeting. - ?Ma'am!
- Dean! Dean R... - Murphy, Murphy, Murphy.
Murphy, Murphy. I got this. Thank you.
- Don't you ever make me wait. Ever. - Okay. Okay.
- Sure. - ?Ever.
What are you doing here? Are you crazy?
Oh, you show up to my house, but I can't show up to your work?
What do you want?
Oh, don't act like you don't know what I want.
I want to know why you didn't hold up your end of the deal.
He gave you everything, and you just left him in there to die.
Murphy, I did what I had to do. I needed information.
Was one murder not enough for you?
Get out.
Why didn't you protect him?
You got what you needed, so why not just hold up
- your end of the deal? - ?Murphy...
Is it because you're jealous?
Are you that pathetic?
- No. - ?Tell me
and I'll leave.
Because there is no point.
Even if I could move Max out of state, Nia would find a way
to get to him sooner or later.
So I'm sorry, I can't save him.
The only person who can do that is Nia Bailey.
And thanks to Max, I'm gonna be putting her behind bars
for a very long time.
Now please, get the hell out of here.
Where are we going?
Miss?
Hi.
Josiah, Darnell.
I know who he is.
You were a runner when I worked for Nia.
You worked for Nia?
For five years.
You weren't important enough to know who I was.
Listen...
You listen.
I don't trust Nia.
And I don't trust anyone who works for Nia.
So tell me why you're here.
You obviously didn't like working for Nia very much.
Neither do I.
I want to help you take her out.
I'm already doing that by myself.
You won't have enough product to do it.
She's about to buy out Mateo.
You trust him?
Yeah.
You trust him with your life?
Yeah.
I'll remember that.
What do you got?
One of her stash houses.
For you to take. Whatever she's got right now.
Okay.
Go get it.
It's guarded. I need backup.
How many?
Three.
You, you and you, Trey.
Done. You three.
Uh, thing is, uh...
she expects me to send you a message.
One of my guys?
Yeah, but...
Now go get it.
My guess is she's got guys in the living room and in the back.
Look, whatever we have to do, we do it.
We get this house, we get Nia Bailey.
Let's go.
I can't go in with y'all. She got cameras.
But she keeps her stuff in the cabinets above the sink.
All right?
All right, we're gonna roll up on the house discreetly.
Sirens off. Ram the front door, clear that front room,
give me the okay sign, we'll be right behind you.
Once you take out the guards, get the product
and get out of there.
There'll be guys bagging in the basement.
They will hear the shots.
Oh, my God.
Cops got to it.
Drive. Drive.
At least Nia will no longer be a problem for Josiah.
You know what I'm saying? We good now. We home, baby.
Let's go! Yo!
Let's go!
Clear.
Search it.
Where the hell is it, man?
- Where are we going? - _
Miss?
Sunrise Cleaners.
I have something to tell you.
Okay.
Dean got something out of Max.
Something that could take you down.
He never told Sarah,
but, um... he told Dean.
And I'll tell you what it is,
but you have to do something for me.
What's your price?
Max.
Call off the hit on him.
That's quite a price.
I know how much your organization is worth.
So, what's your information?
He knows where your drugs are.
Max was lying.
No, he wasn't.
She moved it.
That presents a problem for me.
I got nowhere to put them.
Yes, you do.
