Lila and Eve Page #6

---

Say, with the wild shooting.

And with taking the phone and leaving

the drugs and leaving a f***ing witness.

- You got a better f***ing theory?

- Yeah.

Somebody's trying to climb up the ladder,

but not for reasons you think.

Let's try climbing back down.

It's Alonzo's neighborhood, right?

He gives a franchise to Leo and Teo.

Bradley, not-so-innocent bystander.

Leo and Teo bring on Donelle,

who replaces Ray.

And Stephon, wrong place

at the wrong time.

And it's a woman.

So, what woman?

Jesus Christ.

- Oh, sh*t.

- Holliston, yo.

You heard what the chief said just now.

Turf war's our working theory.

Go home, man.

So, don't forget that we have

that fundraiser for tomorrow.

And if I can get a couple volunteers

to maybe make some lemon squares

- or some muffins...

- Muffins.

Thank you. It'd be great.

Thank you, guys. Hi, Lila.

And... I think I see a new face.

- Was it Nita?

- Welcome, Nita.

You're welcome to share if you'd like.

I lost...

my two sons, Leo and Teo.

They would tease each other,

but you could see the love.

They would come and see me every Sunday.

I'm just a cashier,

but they bought me a house.

But they loved working with their hands.

They were in construction.

They were dealers, the news said.

We're here to support each other.

Oh, we've suffered

too much to... to lie.

You don't think I've suffered?

Yeah.

Yeah, you've suffered. I...

You deserve our love and comfort.

If you need any help, I'll be glad to...

I know we... we have rules and all.

And I want to do the right thing, but...

if you knew what your boys were into,

if you took one dime from them, knowing,

and you didn't do everything

you could to stop them...

Patrice.

She may deserve comfort and support.

She doesn't deserve it from us.

- I'm sorry, but I agree with Patrice.

- No.

She's a mother, too.

She's in pain just like us.

I'm not sure we should judge.

We shouldn't.

Ms. Walcott...

You got a few minutes?

Talk about the case?

- There's a place nearby... J.J.'s?

- Sure. I'll meet you there.

Miguel Alejandro's crew

runs the whole south side.

In your area, he had a guy

named Alonzo Troys running things.

Alonzo leads to Leo and Teo.

They lead to Donelle.

They all worked together,

and they're all dead.

Bradley, the white frat boy,

he's just big into dealing on campus.

We think it was a wrong place,

wrong time situation.

That's been known to happen.

Anyway, Donelle takes over for Ray.

So it all leads back to the corner

where Stephon was killed.

Now, there's something I got to ask.

Did Stephon know these guys?

Who the hell you think you are,

asking me that?

Bringing me here to ask me that?

That white cheerleader you got

posted up on your board and Bradley...

you ask their mothers that?

Or just ones like me?

He never knew them, never met them,

never had one thing to do with them

till the day they murdered him.

I'm just trying to make sense of it.

You have no idea what it's like

to lose a child. No idea.

I'm afraid I do.

I'm sorry about that.

Well, if you have nothing else

to tell me, I'm gonna go home.

But, you know, there is one other thing.

Alonzo's girl, Maya,

she... identified the shooter

as a woman.

Said she sounded real mad.

No one's gonna believe that.

So, what's gonna happen to the case now?

If it stops now, nothing, probably.

If it happens again,

I'm gonna find the one responsible.

I'm gonna have to.

Leave more than that.

What? It's 15%.

We took up a booth. You ever think

about what women go through?

Yeah. Quite a bit lately.

- You're under arrest.

- That's not funny. Put it away!

It's kind of funny.

I wanted to see how you'd feel

if I didn't show.

You were so scared.

Hell, yeah, I was scared.

That detective knows.

That man don't know sh*t.

What you need to be worried about

is our man in Mayfield, Alonzo's boss.

- It's time for me and Justin to move away.

- Oh, Jesus. You with the running.

I need to think about Justin, and the girls

in the support group will understand.

The girls in the group

don't give a f*** about you.

I do.

You want to run away?

Fine.

But we got to finish what we started

or they're gonna finish us.

- Hey, you.

- Hey, you.

You know, I think that once

we finish the renovation, that...

we're gonna move.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- I think it's something we've got to do.

- I understand.

What about Ben?

That's a good question.

- I like him.

- I like him, too.

Stay down!

Justin?

Somebody call an ambulance!

Are you all right?

Oh, Justin. Justin.

Oh, Justin.

Justin.

- Justin.

- Here, ma'am. Back here.

Justin.

Hey, Mom.

Ms. Walcott? About your son.

He's got a broken kneecap,

but he's gonna be just fine.

Okay. Okay.

- What's up, big man?

- Hey.

- What'd I tell you about driving?

- Thanks for coming.

Come on, now. No need for that.

Let me get you and Justin home.

You both can stay with me

until you can get things straight.

Justin, you good?

- Yeah.

- All right.

We gonna get you out of here,

get you home.

One child dead, and...

and then he threatens the other child.

I mean, everyone's children,

really. Really.

I am not going back to feeling helpless.

You know how you told me

you always like to...

clean house whenever

something bad happens?

- Your way of making it better, right?

- Yeah. Being in control. Yeah.

Well, let's finish the house...

in a way that will finish off Alejandro.

Okay. Where do we begin?

Hey, it's me.

The trap is set. Cheese is in place.

All we need is the rat.

Pick me up tonight.

You got Patrice's ride?

I got the address...

maps...

- everything.

- Where'd you get this?

- You know where I got it.

- You were in my office?

Duh. It's the office of public records.

- Did someone help you?

- No, I did it myself. It was easy.

I mean, the computer did

most of the work, but...

Come on. We got to go.

2121 Dogwood.

I want you to look down at Alejandro's

house and tell me what you see.

A party.

Alejandro's out there,

and we're over here, and...

he doesn't even think

about what he does to us.

And that's what I mean. It's not you.

It's the world that's lost its mind.

Who the f*** calls me on Zo's cell?

- Who is this?

- Your friends already told you.

I met a few of them the other day

when I was taking my son to school.

What do you expect?

You f*** with my people.

And now you come here,

and you f*** with my family?

I'm gonna f***ing kill you myself...

and your family.

You watch.

It's gonna go down tomorrow.

Wait, what are you gonna do

with the gun and the phone?

I'll take care of everything.

How are you, Mr. Homemaker?

I'm good, now that you're back.

Patrice called.

The girls want to come

to see you and Justin.

Maybe in a few days, just so we can

get our act together, you know?

Okay.

So, are we gonna meet

Miss Eve this time?

We've met everyone but your sponsor.

What's up with that?

Oh, what's up with that? You know what?

Let me introduce you to her
