- Okay, I'm gonna keep this brief,
as I know you all need to report
to your respective departments.
But we are very grateful and lucky
to have you all here with us.
As you know all too well,
the pandemic has resulted in a severe nursing shortage.
Despite an aggressive and successful
government vaccination program,
along with herd immunity,
we have yet to return to what was our new normal.
And perhaps we never will.
The hours will be long.
However, we will try our best
to make this experience as pleasant as possible.
With that being said,
we need each of you to sign off on your blanket waivers,
as well as fill out your beneficiary designation forms
and leave them on the desk.
Proceeding this,
you will link up with your guides
and finish your tour of the campus.
[pen scrapping]
[dramatic music]
- So you were saying something about the waivers?
- Oh, yes sure, I'm sorry.
I was just saying,
I can't seem to get used to those orientation speeches
and signing off on those waivers.
Just makes me feel like...
[dramatic music]
Okay, [scoffs]
what's with all the missing black women here?
- It's disturbing actually.
[dramatic music]
Many of them worked or went to school here,
right here on campus.
But everyone's feeling really safe
and really positive about their return.
I'm gonna take you over to this way,
I wanna show you where we all eat at.
You're gonna love it.
[radio chatter]
[birds chirping]
- I knew I shouldn't have moved here.
That's why the rent so cheap.
- Mm-hmm.
- And why am I just now finding out
people are saying this place is cursed?
[Detective Fontenette sighing]
- Oh shit, not you again.
Hey, who let this man past the yellow tape?
Hey, what are you doing here, man?
Do you know how many complaints I've gotten
about you poking your nose around here
these past two years?
- Come on, captain,
I heard the call over the radio.
You know how these perps
like to come back to the scene of the crime.
They get off watching us roaming around finding shit.
[chuckles] I figured you need a hand.
- Well you figured wrong.
So you gonna tell me about criminal profiles now,
is that it, huh?
You get on everybody damn nerve
around here, Fontenette.
That's why nobody likes your ass.
I mean, this is not even your assigned district.
Every time someone from Freeman Lakes calls,
it's so much as to get their fucking cat outta the tree,
here you come with questions.
Your obsession with this mother and son,
it's not a good look.
You understand me?
And why the department quack ever cleared you for service,
I don't know.
It's beyond me.
- That mother, her name is Samantha Jones
and she disappeared about a week
after this whole drama went down out here.
She hasn't been seen since, Cap.
Her mother had a funeral, she didn't show,
so something's wrong.
And this department hasn't done anything
to help find her at all.
- Perhaps she just up and left her son,
I don't know it's fucked up,
but this shit does happen.
- No, she wouldn't leave her son, AJ.
Anyway, he's remanded to a psychiatric facility.
- Again, I'm sorry, okay?
Kids pop gets killed in front of him
and he gets shipped off and left at a juvie mental ward.
That's tragic, I understand that.
But listen, these two cases, they're not related.
Okay?
Bennington's been in jail,
locked up for two years now, man.
Leave it alone.
- Yeah, you're probably right.
- I know I'm right.
- Captain, is that the new leasing manager?
You mind if I get a word with him,
ask him a few questions?
- No.
- Come on, man.
- All right.
All right, man.
I'll give you two minutes,
but listen, Fontenette,
you're brand new bro.
This ain't no Encyclopedia Brown shit.
Do you understand?
- Yeah.
[geese clucking]
- These mother fucking geese.
- Excuse me, Detective Fontenette.
I didn't catch your name earlier.
- Kevin McNeil.
- Oh yeah.
- The leasing manager.
- Mm-hmm, cool, yeah, I know you talked
to the other detectives earlier,
but do you mind running down what it is
that you know with me?
- Uh, sure, uh, like I told the detective,
we received a call early this morning
from the tenant's mother saying
that she didn't speak to her daughter
and that she usually calls her every night.
- Uh-huh.
- She asked if we could check on her.
So at that point I had one of my maintenance guys,
actually here he comes.
- Oh, okay.
- So I sent Hector over here to check on her apartment
and when he came here, he found the door cracked wide open.
Well, you know the rest.
- Yeah.
He probably can help you with questions you might have,
okay?
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, no problem.
Uh, I know it's a new management company and all,
but how far back do you guys keep records
on previous tenants?
- I'm, uh, I'm not sure.
Uh, I would have to talk to my general manager,
Mr. Brown and-
- Wait, Donovan Brown?
- Yes, Donovan Brown.
We'll be happy to answer any questions
you might need, detective.
This is Hector,
he's our, um, grounds guy.
He can better assist you.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
[Kevin mumbling]
It's all right.
- How you doing?
- I'm good, Detective Fontenette,
I was wondering...
- [Hector] I take care of the entire property.
- Wait, wait, excuse me just for one moment.
[ominous music]
- Here we go with this shit again.
- I'm sorry.
- Excuse me, sir.
I don't mean to bother you,
I know you're busy
but I literally moved in here last night.
Um, what's going on?
- Honestly, we don't know.
A random tenant called looking for a family member.
So, that's all we know at the moment.
Please excuse me.
[ominous music]
- [sighs deeply] Damn.
[knuckles rapping]
- Hey.
- Saw your door cracked,
thought I'd come in and check in on you.
- [chuckles] Everything's great,
this room is beautiful.
- Oh, oh, Doctor Matthews, who's that?
- Yeah, just a friend back in Austin.
- Well, you know what, let me leave you to your friend.
- Thank you.
- I'll check in on you later.
- Okay.
All right, see you.
- See you. [phone ringing]
- So I don't believe we've upgraded
to FaceTime calls, Dr. Matthews,
so what is this all about?
- I just needed to confirm proof of life
since you neglected to call
and let me know you arrived safely.
- And now you got me.
I'm sorry I didn't text,
but you see that I'm alive,
so I'm hanging up.
I'll call you right back, bye-bye.
- Wow, wow, wow really?
- Really.
- [chuckles] All right.
[phone ringing]
- [Deja] Hi.
- You can't fault me for wanting to see that beautiful face,
can you?
- Oh, flattery will get you everywhere. [chuckles]
- So how you liking the campus?
- I mean, between the doctors, nurses, students,
the posters of missing women
and the crime scene that I just passed by,
I'm feeling right at home.
- [Dr. Matthews] Crime scene?
- Yeah, looking like a episode of CSI around the corner.
- Wow.
I wonder what happened.
- [sighs] I don't know, they didn't say anything.
- On a more positive note,
how's university life treating you?
- Uh, you know, it's too soon to tell.
You know orientation's all about best first impressions.
So, so far so good.
Listen, I'd love to stay and chat,
but the maintenance man is coming to fix my door,
it won't close all the way.
- Maintenance man?
Now I'm really jealous.
- Don't be, bye.
- Bye.

[knuckles rapping]
[upbeat rap music]
- Hey, I'm Detective Fontenette.
Do we know each other?
- Nah, I don't know you.
[upbeat rap music]
- I mean, you was looking at me weird back there
like we met before, like we know each other.
I mean, I saw you coming to the pool area
yet you saw us and then you turned around
and went the long way to your apartment
like you were avoiding something or someone.
- You a cop?
[Fontenette laughing]
You, you a cop?
- Oh yeah, yeah, I'm a cop.
- Well there you go.
Of course I'm trying to avoid you mother fucker,
you a pig.
- Okay, all right.
We can put a pin on the name calling for right now,
all right?
Okay?
Your parents home?
- Nah.
- No?
- My mom's at work.
- Oh, okay. - Why?
Because a woman,
a few buildings down for you went missing, a Fiona Reed.
You know her?
I mean her door was kicked in.
It would seem like there was a struggle.
I was wondering if you and your parents
may have heard something.
- Nah, we ain't hear nothing.
- How long you lived here?
- Three, four years maybe.
Oh, okay.
- [Man] Yeah.
- Yeah?
Part of the great Atlanta migration, huh?
- [laughs] You know, my mom said this is the place to be
when the revolution starts.
- Oh the revolution?
oh wow. - Yeah.
- Yeah, I hope not in my lifetime.
[upbeat rap music]
Where you from originally?
- B-more.
Oh cool, yeah, I'm from the D.
Oh, B-more.
That's funny, you, you probably know a AJ Jones, right?
Right?
- [chuckles] Who?
- Tall, slim kid.
Long dreads, about your age.
He and his mom lived here a couple of years back.
Huh?
I mean, I'm sure
you went to, probably went to school together.
Hard to believe you don't know him.
He and his mom were part of that whole drama
that happened with the leasing manager a couple years back.
I'm sure you heard about it.
- Nah, is we done?
I gotta pull some chicken out the freezer.
- Okay.
Okay, cool.
You, you handle that.
By the way, by the way, one thing,
your name, I didn't catch it.
- I didn't throw it.
[upbeat rap music]
[door thudding]
- [laughs] This little motherfucker.
[upbeat rap music] [birds chirping]
- All right. [groans]
Yeah, well that's all right.
That just about does it.
- Oh, thank you, Arnez.
- Hey, you need a little help?
- No, I think I'm good.
- Yeah, you know, I, uh, normally I try
to have these things ready for move in,
but looks like I'm behind.
- No, you are right on time. [chuckles]
- Hey, Miss Deja, I...
Well, I don't mean to intrude,
but can I, can I offer you a little piece of advice?
- Sure.
- It's the mirror.
- The mirror?
- Yes, you, you should never put a mirror in front
of your, your bed.
[ominous music]
- Really?
Why?
- Well, the mirror will deplete your energy.
It creates sleepless, sleeplessness.
- [chuckles] Well, I couldn't sleep well
if you paid me. [laughs]
- That may be the reason why.
You know, when I was a, was a little boy, a long time ago,
I went missing.
Well, well not in the, the, the usual sense.
Uh, I got lost.
And when I came to, I was, I was in my bed.
Shivering, the cold.
And then earlier that night, I put a mirror
in front of my bed. [laughs]
When I told my mama what had happened,
she told me I got lost because I had that mirror
in front of my bed when I fell asleep.
Mm-hmm.
The mirror is like a, it's like a portal.
It, it, it, it'll open up your soul to unwanted visitors.
- I'll tell you what Arnez, I will take your counsel
into serious consideration. [laughs]
- Well, [laughs] you Miss, Miss Deja,
I, I, please, please just forgive me.
But you look so much like someone I knew.
[Deja laughing]
Do you happen to have a sister?
- No, afraid not, only child,
but they say we all have a doppelganger
out there somewhere, you know?
You know?
- What's going on in here?
Am I missing a party?
- [laughs] No, girl.
You ain't missing nothing.
Arnez was here telling me about some black folklore.
- Well, Arnez, that right there is my partner in crime.
- Ah, sister Shana.
- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. [Arnez laughing]
- Like I'm gonna get on with my work.
You ladies
have a wonderful day. - You too.
[Deja laughing]
Take care.
- Okay.
- All right, so what can I help you with in here?
- Oh girl, I'm fine.
Thank you.
[zipper rattling]
- You know, I wanted to ask you,
is Dr. Matthews your boyfriend?
- Um, I wouldn't quite say that just yet.
We are kinda taking it slow.
- Good, 'cause, you know, if you remember,
my, uh, ad specifically said single black females only.
So I don't wanna any dick swinging man up
in my refrigerator, drinking my juice,
startling me in the middle of the night.
- Okay, no, I don't think we have to worry
about any of that right now.
Well, how about you?
You seeing anybody?
A special guy or girl?
No, no, neither.
I'm not good at relationships.
How long have you known him?
[Deja scoffing]
I mean, did you vet him properly?
There's a lot of crazy shit going around.
- Yes. [laughs]
He's good peeps.
He's a well respected neuroscientist
from my last assignment.
Speaking of which, did you see all the police outside?
- Mm-mm.
- I was trying to find out what was happening.
- No, I'll check it out on my way out,
but if you need anything today, just give a holler.
- Okay.
- Oh, shit.
- What?
- [sighs] I accidentally brought home
my onboarding documents.
- Look, I'm headed to campus, I can take 'em back for you.
- No, I don't wanna trouble you.
- It's no trouble.
I'm literally going right past there.
Oh, that is unless, unless you don't trust me.
- No, honestly, it's not that, it's...
[sighs] Okay, you know what?
I would appreciate it if you would take this in for me.
Thanks.
- Consider it done, roomy.
- Cool, roomy.
[both laughing]
- We have to do something about this Marcus character.
I sincerely believe this young man
could single-handedly be the death of me.
AKA this administration,
AKA all of you.
We have to do something about this.
He needs to be stabilized.
- Mm careful with that verbiage, mayor.
J. Edgar Hoover actually coined the term, stabilize
with regards to our people.
Now, let us not forget that young man is still one of us,
and he does have very valid view points.
These women are missing.
And this latest incident at Freeman's Lake
certainly doesn't help the situation.
- The numbers for this administration are way down.
We look incompetent to the voters right now.
They believe we haven't made good on any of our promises.
- I'm well aware of the numbers, Martin.
I'm just frustrated, all right?
This young man is fronting a false narrative
like I'm some type of puppet.
Any word on the missing girl from last night?
- No, police are still investigating, no leads yet.
- Mr. Mayor, I had APD pull up Marcus's file
and he does have a pretty lengthy rap sheet.
Granted, most of the serious charges were as a minor,
but he did serve time under the DT-45 warrant program.
- Okay.
- Delaware, are you serious?
I was halfway kidding about the Hoover comment.
All right, so tell me, why are we pulling
this man's juvenile file
when they're supposed to remain sealed.
- Sealed as needed.
- Martin suggested it.
- Oh, so that's what we doing now?
A little character assassination.
- Damn fucking straight.
I'll defame a nigga in a heartbeat if push comes to shove,
my allegiance is to that brother right there.
Look, I like the young brother
and some of what he stands for, but he's young.
He's naive.
He doesn't get to see the world for what it is,
what he can change and not change.
I can't let the potential legacy of this administration fall
on some reformed thug named Marcus Garby X
or whatever they're calling him.
Mr. Mayor, leave it to me.
I'll handle the situation.
[ominous music]
[crickets chirping]
- [Man] See that stain?
Blood.
a young girl was killed here
and whatever got her wasn't human.
Don't stand there.
- What do you mean?
Where?
[ominous music]
[Deja yawning]
- Where were you?
You've been so quiet,
I didn't even realize you were home.
- Yeah. - Yeah, have a glass.
- Yeah, I was just sleeping in the bedroom.
- Ooh, sorry.
Did I wake you?
No, not at all.
It was a long first day.
And I'm still a little shook
by all the posters of missing black and Latino women.
I feel like I'm living in the Wild Wild West.
I mean, I didn't know any of this was going on.
There's no media coverage on it.
- Yeah.
Press is not really covering Tanisha's gone missing.
They ain't checking for us like that.
- Well, there's gotta be something on the news.
- Mm, please don't.
- Oh, sorry.
It's just, [sighs] it's just scary is all.
- Scary, don't worry.
I'll protect you with my right hook.
I'm no one to play with.
- [laughs] Anywho, enough negative talk.
So tell me, how long have you been a doula?
- Um, honestly, it feels like centuries.
I do home births for black women.
- I thought home births were illegal in Georgia.
- So was owning property, voting,
walking in the front door
of a white establishment while black.
- Okay, okay, no judgment.
- Do you know [sighs],
do you know what the mother-infant mortality rate
is for black women delivering, compared to white women?
It's staggering.
The system is against us.
Uh, medical kidnappings are at an all time high
and don't bother looking for the television
or the news to give us anything
'cause it's not being televised.
And they still taking our children
and ripping our families apart.
[Deja sighing]
Deja, I'm gonna be honest with you,
I work with families
who are preparing for the next revolution,
the children of the post Babylon society.
No fingerprints, no social security, free, free.
My mission is to make sure
that black families are not being ripped apart.
That's something I'd die for.
You want some wine?
- Oh.
[wine sloshing]
[glasses clinking]
Wow, this is good.
- It's my special batch.
- [Deja] Mm.
[ominous music]
[chest thudding]
- This is what she used on my brother and her sister,
hacked them to pieces.
[gentle music]
- [Deja] Yes, please, please, please, please, please.
- [Shana] Yes, girl, yes.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
- [Deja] Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Come now, come now, come now.
- Oh, yeah, I got...
I know, I know.
- Bad sex for seven years.
[gentle music]
[paper rustling]
[music drowns out speaker]
[gentle music]
[Shana laughing]
- [Deja] Go, there you go, there you.
- I'll try, I'll try 'em together.
[music drowns out speaker]
- Oh, I'm sorry, yeah, you can light it. [laughs]
- No.
[gentle music]
- [chuckles] Oh, okay.
- All right, look away.
[gentle music]
[Deja laughing]
- Yo, you won't let me braid your hair?
I just, I just...
Can put, can I make corn rows?
Corn, maybe, maybe, I don't know.
I mean like if you can stop,
if you can get it to corn row, I mean.
- Dude, I, I'm good- - A real cornrow.
- I'm good with it.
Yeah?
- Yeah, okay, okay.
Girl what are you doing?
- Oh, oh, sorry, sorry.
- Stop.
- I'm just a little naughty, a little naughty,
okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
- No, it's fine, it's fine, but I'm just like...
[crickets chirping]
[upbeat rap music]
[group chattering]
- Listen, your man's a clown, bro.
[upbeat rap music]
[group chattering]
[upbeat rap music]
- I'm just saying, if we now overthinking this thing,
somebody lying.
Y'all ain't listening, man.
- All right, everybody here.
- All the ones that matter, man, what's up?
- The man's team, they wanna meet.
- All right. - Good job.
[group clapping] - Yeah.
- That's what I'm talking about.
- They wanna go over a plan that we put in place.
Go over an agenda that can bring about real reform.
Some change to the city.
- Yes, yes, that's what I'm talking about, quality,
people, yes. - Well, it's about damn time.
Now I say we going in there,
and we really lay this shit down.
No half-assing, you feel me?
Look we gonna call the shots
and make them work on our terms.
We state our case and we are not backing down, right?
- Right. - Shit, you're the man.
That's it, that's how we doing it.
- Yeah, yeah, like, got you.
This the day we've been waiting for it, right?
Like a, a chance to, to be heard.
- That's a fact, man.
Yeah, man.
- [Nef] What's wrong, babe?
- There's a catch.
- [Man] It's a catch. [laughs]
Of course there is, man. - What you...
- I have to go alone.
- What? - What?
- I'm sorry, what?
[man laughing]
- See, I knew something was up.
That's that bullshit.
- Yup.
- Marcus, why would they expect you to come alone?
- Exactly.
- First of all, you know I, I, who, whose idea was this?
- It, It's probably this nigga idea.
- Chill.
- Wow. - Why would I chill?
What you talking about chill, man?
- Really Ken?
- Yeah, really?
- You bugging.
- Look, look, I wouldn't put it past him.
[Nef sighing]
So when is this secret meeting?
It's tonight.
Tonight? - What?
- Y'all hear this?
And Y'all ain't got nothing to say.
Cool, all right.
- [Marcus] Yo, look.
- Look what, man?
- Look, I pushed for my key counselor to be there, bruh.
You, Nef, they wouldn't budge.
They were adamant that I come alone.
The whole meeting is contingent upon that single fact.
- That's sick.
- What?
I mean, what can they do to me?
This can be monumental.
Are we really about to let this opportunity pass us by
because of what?
Ego?
Come on, man.
And don't get solemn now, Kendrick.
What's on your mind, say it.
- It's just typical, man.
- Typical?
- Typical you.
Always wanna step in and be a fucking hero.
It's not even like that. - No, I ain't no-
- And you know it. - No, no, no.
Go ahead, speak.
- Nigga, you love the spotlight.
You love looking down on those faces
marveling at your ass
like you the second coming to Christ or some shit.
- Man, cut this shit out, bro - No, you cut
this shit out, man. - Come on.
- I can see that shit all in your eyes,
but tell me fucking I'm lying.
No man or woman is bigger than the movement.
- Man, I never said I wanted to be bigger
than the movement, Ken.
Why don't you just tell me what the real problem is, Ken?
As late, you and I just ain't been on the same page.
You know I say red, you say blue.
I say one, you say...
You either with me-
- Stop touching me, man.
- Or you against me.
- I said stop touching me.
- And if you against me, man. - If what?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, get off me.
- [Woman] Here they go.
- [Man] The fuck, man.
- And if what? [bellows]
Black man?
Huh?
What you threatening me now?
It's whatever it needs to be.
- It's whatever it needs to... - No, no, no.
- Step outside, step outside. - Look, we not, we not
doing this tonight, y'all.
Y'all need to stop measuring private parts and focus.
- Nah, do you ever stop to just think,
just think, Ken, for one second,
maybe they want me to go alone.
Not because of me, Ken.
Not because I asked for it,
but because of you.
Always acting like some jailhouse,
railroad bullshit,
type of shit, bruh. - Marcus, come on, bruh.
- You out here trying to blow shit like we in apartheid.
Bruh, I want peace, all right?
- Peace?
- Yes, nigga, peace.
- You ain't Gandhi, nigga.
The fuck is you talking about? [bellows]
And when is the last time you ever heard
about a black man gaining his freedom
through motherfucking peace?
- [Man] Come on, y'all.
No, you chill out, dog.
You are living in an apartheid system
right motherfucking now.
And the sad thing is, your black ass don't even know
don't even know that shit yet.
Say some shit now, Marcus.
- [Nef] Babe.
- [sighs] Move, Ken.
- [Nef] Yo, chill out.
- Babe, you bigger than this.
Marcus?
What the, what the fuck?
- That's your man.
- You are shit. - Whatever, man.
What, what? - Like Marcus?
Marcus?
[birds chirping]
[phone dialing]
[phone ringing]
- Hey, you.
- Hey.
Hey girl, how you doing?
I'm just checking in to see how your first day went.
As you could see, I couldn't last a whole week.
I miss you.
- [chuckles] I miss you too.
How you guys holding up there without me?
- Is this the part where you want me
to tell you things are a hot ass mess
and I can't go on without you?
- Uh, pretty much.
- Girl it's a hot mess.
[both laughing]
But we knew that going in,
but you still decided to leave us anyway.
- What can I say?
I'm an adventurer, a vagabond.
- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Anywho, what's the tea, girl?
What's going on?
- Uh, I don't know.
Found out today there have been some past incidents.
I was really excited about getting here,
but I guess I didn't do my due diligence.
- Dang, that's a lot.
Well, how's the roomy?
- Um, Interesting.
A nursing student from the university,
which we already know.
She's a doula.
- Oh, a doula.
Interesting.
- Yeah.
Very eccentric, very spiritual, very holistic type.
We were chatting a little earlier.
- Hmm, okay, well from the way things sound,
I'm surprised she's in nursing school,
you know them India Arie sisters tend to be anti-hospital.
- Right?
I thought the same thing, but she is in fact.
Just, she's a very complex sister, very intense.
As a matter of fact, earlier tonight,
we had a few drinks and she was getting really cozy
with me, touching my hair and stuff
and telling me how beautiful I am.
I don't know, but I think she might have been trying
to make a pass at me.
- Mm.
- Well you are in Atlanta.
- All right, stop it right there.
- I'm just saying, no judgment, no judgment.
[sighs] Girl, you know, anyways, I gots to go.
Harold over here giving me sign languages
about what we gonna have for dinner tonight.
Girl, I gotta go.
I miss you, I love you.
Take care, okay?
- I miss you too.
Goodnight.
- Okay. [laughs]
[footsteps thumping]
[Marcus panting heavily]
- Am I wrong?
Huh?
Am I wrong? [panting]
- No.
- Kendrick just doesn't fucking get it. [panting]
- Marcus,
how do you see all this playing out?
I mean, what's, what's, what's the end game?
What are your dreams?
What do you, what do you want for your children?
- I can't even imagine us having kids right now now.
I mean, can you imagine bringing a black prince
into the world right now?
- [scoffs] Or princess.
- Nef, look around us. [panting]
I, I'm struggling to find a point right now.
You know, I'm not Malcolm. [panting]
I'm not King.
I, I don't have a dream.
I'm just out here pushing in real time,
hoping to see some change. [exhales deeply]
You know, funny thing, they say revolutions take time,
time where somebody is willing
to make, you know, the ultimate sacrifice
where he or she is willing to make that ultimate sacrifice
with change, change they'll likely never see
in their lifetime, change that maybe their children
or their children's children will hopefully experience.
Fuck, I mean, maybe Kendrick is right.
I, I'm selfish.
I am.
I am, because I wanna see that change from my own two eyes.
And I wanna see it right now.
Our ancestors have been praying,
protesting and giving their lives for this change
that we cannot seem to find.
[crickets chirping]
It's not just this country.
It's the world, Nef.
And I'm not so sure anymore. [exhales deeply]
[gentle music]
- Hey, I love you so, so much. [chuckles]
[lips smooching]
- How much?
[Nef laughing]
Hmm?
- Oh, more than all the stars in the sky.
[Marcus laughing]
- [Nef] Don't laugh.
- That's cute.
- [Nef] I know.
- Mad corny though.
- What?
- Corny?
- Yeah.
- [chuckles] Okay.
- But I love you more.
[gentle music]
- Oh yeah, how much?
- Yeah.
I love you more than the grains of salt in the salt shaker.
- [laughs] Whatever, whatever, nigga.
Oh, and I'm the corny one.
- Yeah, you are. - Oh, okay.
[both laughing]
[gentle music]
- Thank you.
I gotta go.
It's getting cold.
You need to go inside.
Tell those academic Negros it's time to go home,
and we'll brief everybody in the morning.
I love you.
- I love you too.
[gentle music]
Hey, be careful.
- Always.
- I'm gonna wait up for you.
[gentle music]
[crickets chirping]
[ominous music]
[deep foreboding music]
[foreboding music increases]
[Deja panting]
