Nothing's going to happen.

I just...

I just want to make sure

that you know what to do...

if anything ever did.

I know you're big girls now,

but if something does...

I want you to call your grandma

so she can come get you, okay?

What's going to happen, Mom?

Nothing's going to happen.

Okay.

You're going to need a

larger boat than usual.

Big enough to fit six tonnes.

Wow.

New group.

Get someone else to handle it.

No, I can handle it.

Good.

You wanted to make an impression.

I figured I could

trust you to do that.

I'll take care of it.

Hey!

Hey.

Guess who's going out tonight?

I have no idea.

We are.

No, we're not.

Wait, wait. No, no. Please.

Please, please, please,

please, please.

It took me some real bo-jo

to get these tickets.

Get what?

Tickets to Blue Comet Cowboys.

Hey, man, I got to work. I mean,

maybe if you had given me a little notice.

Can't you skip?

No.

Wait, I'll go.

Absolutely not.

Wait, why not?

Because.

Because why?

I finished off my homework.

It's a school night.

We wouldn't be late,

would we, Rain?

Nope, not too late.

See? Mom, we won't be late. Please.

I don't have time for this.

It's my first concert.

What do you want me to say?

Yes.

Please.

Fine.

Oh, my God. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

Rain, I'm coming!

Looking good.

Right.

Now, since I know these dudes,

we're going to be going

backstage and sh*t.

So you got to be cool.

Copasetic?

Totally.

All right.

You ready?

Yeah.

Okay.

Will cause tyrants to tremble

Or sink at our guns

like the Cumberland's crew

That's not a bad song.

Mm-mm.

You know, I thought we

would try something

a little more civilized tonight.

Well, isn't that nice.

Yeah. Beautiful.

And I bet it tastes good too.

Smells good.

Can I have some?

Okay.

Hola, chica.

Hi.

Cmo ests? How are you?

Good, good. You got

something for me?

Yes. The yacht behind us.

It's coming.

Ah, gracias.

Nothing like a cold

beer on a hot day.

I know, right? Salud.

Cheers.

Mm.

So, does boss man...

Where does he have you stay?

In Lauderdale.

Ah. You live by the beach.

No. Our holding house

is at the canal.

Ah. The big ones.

Mm-hm.

He really knows how to

take care of his girls.

Yes, he does.

"My fate cannot be mastered.

"Only collaborated.

"Nor am I the captain of my soul.

Just its noisiest passenger."

Aldous Huxley.

Good, good, good, good, good.

All right.

"Sometimes we do what we have

to do to do what we want to do."

Who said that?

Christina Milland.

Hear, hear.

Hear, hear.

I just want to forget about you

I just want to find someone new

The world is crashing down

Since you ain't been around

You took a shotgun to my head

I'm not lovesick, I'm not dead

'Cause the world

is crashing down

Since you ain't been around

You took a shotgun to my head

I'm not lovesick, I'm not dead

It's a nice moon tonight.

Going to rain tomorrow.

How do you know?

Ring around the moon, rain soon.

See the light reflecting

off the cirrostratus

in front of the moon?

It's associated with warm

fronts and moisture.

You learn something new every day.

You can certainly try.

How about a nightcap?

Nah, too much work.

Got a load tomorrow.

All right. Good night.

Good night.

I'm not lovesick, I'm not dead

You know, we could leave.

There's three of me.

It's not that simple.

Nothing good ever is.

I'm in, Chris.

You just tell me when.

Hello.

Hey, Ray.

Yeah?

You got a call.

Says he's the boss man.

I meant what I said.

Be careful.

I don't want you

disappearing on me.

Come here.

I'm not going anywhere.

Stop tripping, lady.

You're the one that needs

to start tripping, man.

Hey, because when I tell

Joey, your ass is grass.

He doesn't even know

who you are, lady.

That's bullshit.

Dude, that's bullshit.

I gave that guy the best

head of his f***ing life.

What are you doing? No!

Get the...

Hey.

What the f***, dude?

Hey.

What?

What the f*** are you looking at?

What the f*** are you looking

at you stupid, dumb b*tch?

What, do you think

you're so f***ing cool?

What is she doing in there?

She was invited.

Now get your skanky ass out of here

before I throw it out.

Get the f*** out here!

Get the f*** out here, MJ!

Why not?!

Why not? You said

that you knew them.

Because, MJ.

Because why would he want me, huh?

He could get a f***ing 15-year-old

to suck his f***ing cock!

Wait, no...

Get in the car!

Wait, I wouldn't do that, Rain.

Hello.

Get the f*** off!

We don't do that sh*t here.

Get her out of here!

Go! You need to get

the f*** out of here.

Yeah.

Get your ass up and go.

You're not moving fast enough.

F*** you, you f***ing...

Open the f***ing door.

Open the f***ing door!

No one loves me.

Nobody loves me.

You stupid f***ing whore.

Shut up! You stupid, f***ing b*tch.

You worthless piece of sh*t.

Please, please.

Would you mind giving me a

ride when you get done?

Been calling the house.

Slow down. Please, God, slow down.

Shut the f*** up! Shut the f***

up, you stupid, f***ing whore!

Rain, please.

Shut up, shut up, shut up!

Please!

Shut the f*** up!

Help.

Please, somebody help.

Somebody help me!

Somebody help me!

Was it the mother?

Mom.

Oh, my God.

Look what happened to MJ.

You're the mother?

Yeah.

She can't speak,

but she keeps trying to.

So I brought her that to write on.

Hi.

Shh.

Baby, I'm right here.

Don't try to talk. I'm right here.

I'm right here.

Shh.

In case you need it.

Hey.

Shh.

I've never been very good at this.

I failed at...

almost everything.

But...

I'm trying, MJ.

I'm really trying.

I shouldn't have let you go.

It's just that...

I was in a hurry.

And your face...

you just wanted to go so badly.

I am so

f***ing stupid.

So stupid.

Thank you, baby.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Gas, grass or ass.

Nobody rides for free.

On August 7th, 1978,

agents acting on

reliable information

from an undercover informant

that passed contraband

directly to the defendant

conducted a successful raid

at 142 Tropicana Circle.

Agents were conducting a

search of the premises

when a vehicle containing

Christina Milland

stopped in front of the house.

Miss Milland was a passenger

in the vehicle,

and had been targeted in

an ongoing observation

of the Pink Coral Inn,

a known location for

drug transactions.

Christina Milland

refused to cooperate

by not giving her

real name or address.

Photos of the defendant

were found in the house

in the same room as

women's clothing.

"Miss Milland was arrested in

front of the house at 3:30 a.m.,

"just one hour after

the initial raid.

"They seized over 15,000

pounds of marijuana

"with a street value

of over $3 million.

It is the largest drug seizure

in the county's history."

Well, thank you for sharing, Shell,

and, uh, being at show and tell.

Is the person in the article

someone you know?

She's my mom.

So how'd it go?

I don't know.

I don't think they believed me.

Told you they'd think
