Repay It in Blood

It wasn't even me that took that long.

- It was really Mari. - No, it wasn't.

I don't know who was it, but I'll tell you what,

we shoulda had sons.

Mm.

Because 12 hours to get ready is ridiculous.

I- I swear the Lord has got it out for me.

Hey, I did all the work, so.

But now we're stopping,

so who's really making us lay for Mami's party?

Right?

We know what Mami want, Mami get.

Exactly.

Yeah, y'all want any chips or anything?

No.

Well, me and Jamie are coming with you.

Okay, sweetie. Come on, you come with me.

All right, kiddos. Come on, let's go.

Go on then, daddy's girl.

Ah.

- Hey, how's everybody going? - All right.

Lemme know if you need anything.

- Yes, ma'am. - All right.

Did you see her stick the middle finger at me?

I did not see it.

Hey,

there's the chips right there.

Mom, you look beautiful tonight.

Are you excited?

Thank you, baby.

Yes. I'm so excited.

Mami, did you always wear wigs

like you do now back in the day?

Girl, not back in the day.

You better watch your mouth. I am not that old.

But your mama has always been the shit.

How you think I bagged that fine man y'all call Daddy?

Bagged?

Ladies, look, confidence doesn't care about the color

of your eyes or what you're wearing or how your hair looks.

Self-confidence is what produces the woman.

Everything else, that's just a bonus.

Yeah, whatever.

Just don't ever lemme hear you say bagged again.

Please.

Um, you good, Mami?

Yeah, um, just trying to be careful.

And your father needs to hurry up.

Like seriously though.

Empty the motherfucking register, bitch. Come on!

Yo, go check the back. Go, go!

I'm trying. I'm trying.

Come on, bitch!

- Here. - $200?

That's it, where's-where's the rest of it?

That's all there is.

That's all there is.

- What the fuck you doing? - Hey, easy

Put your fucking hands down.

Don't hurt us, man. Let my baby, go, please.

Where's the safe?

The safe is in the back,

but only the owner knows the code.

Bitch, don't play with me!

I'm serious. I don't know the code.

Damn! Punk-ass bitch.

I swear sometimes you really act like you're adopted.

Maybe I am and they haven't told us.

I mean, look at my complexion compared to y'all's

Girl, wait, it could be.

Ma, you got some secrets you keeping?

Sh, be quiet. Y'all hear that?

Hear what?

All right, let's get the fuck outta here, man!

- Fuck that. - Yo!

Come on, nigga. Let's go, man.

Oh my God, Luis and the kids. Somebody call 911!

Mom?

Thank you all for being here.

Today is Naledi's anniversary.

And we sat

and heard a non-guilty verdict

for those two individuals that took our baby's life.

But I swear I will do everything in my power

to get justice for our baby.

Thank you, Luis.

Now, everybody, please stand and join hands for prayer.

Father God, we come to You today with heavy hearts,

though a day may seem like an eternity

when a loved one is lost.

So he asks that You heal

and strengthen us as we continue to fight

for justice for Naledi on her behalf.

Oh.

Oh, I feel a spirit coming on right now.

Oh, I feel the hooping coming on right now.

Oh, Father God, Jesus, yo.

Hey, I tell the family, ha,

that in this time, ha,

that they're gonna be all right, ha.

I keep telling you, ha

that though she may not be here right now though, ha,

that we'll see her later though, ha.

'Cause she may be absent in the presence, ha

and gone in the physical, ha,

but she's up there with you, Lord.

And one day we will see her again, ha.

And in the good word, ha,

of Kendrick Lamar, ha,

everything, ha, is gonna be, ha,

Ha, ooh, Jesus Lord.

And the church say, ha,

y'all supposed to say it with me now, hey.

And the church say, ha.

- Amen. - Amen.

- Hey, Jesus, ooh. - Amen.

Oh.

What's going on, baby?

When will we ever get justice, huh?

Two years from now, 5, 25?

Those bastards got off today.

You good, sis?

And to make it worse, it's like you don't remember,

or you don't fucking care.

I don't fucking care?

Do you not fucking remember this shit, huh?

Again, ever since Naledi, that's all they do is argue.

Enough is enough.

I wear these scars every fucking day.

I wake up and go to sleep

with the vision of our daughter dying right next to me.

Don't you ever fucking say that outta your mouth again.

Parents, we have guests,

can you guys please not do this right now?

Mija, we're fine. Close the door.

She blames Papi for Ledi's death.

No, it's-I think it's just still her way of mourning.

Then she needs to go see a fucking therapist.

I know that Santeria is a-a big part of your culture,

but you've been praying to them fucking saints for years

and they ain't done shit!

Shut your fucking mouth.

Just because it's not going your way,

doesn't mean it's not working.

I tell you what, well, either you or them do something,

because if you don't, I will!

I'll go check on her.

Papi, you okay?

You want a drink?

Just, yeah.

Please, just been getting these headaches.

You know, baby, no one really knows how one feels

and reacts, you know, when we're grieving.

Yeah, but that doesn't give her

an excuse to be mean to you, Papi.

Baby, look,

she's dealing with a lot too.

If you say so.

You know, Naledi said you always been

that firecracker, hey?

I get it from you, Papi.

Hey baby. That's why you're gonna do great in law school.

Oh, baby, why you look at me like that?

Hey, we're gonna be fine and you're gonna be fine too.

Okay, but, Papi, what about Maritza?

Why you worried about Mari, my little wildflower?

Come on, you know she's living her best life right now.

She gonna be all right.

Exactly. This is Mari we talking about.

That's true sweetheart, but, look,

I'll worry about your sister

and you focus on being

the best damn prosecutor Houston has ever seen.

I hope when y'all do this next year,

y'all don't do it with that pastor,

'cause one more ha, and I'd been hot.

Oh my God. You are such a mess.

I needed that, man. Oh my God.

I bet you did.

Oh, Mari, lighten up.

You don't really need that drink either.

Do you think Mami's proud of me?

Of course, baby. Of course she's proud of you.

I mean, you're following in her footsteps.

Why would you say that?

I don't know. It's just a feeling.

You know, sweetheart, as parents,

we always want our kids to succeed better than us.

And you're achieving that. We're proud of you.

Now the only thing would be if you

and your sister could speak Spanish instead

of understanding, then we'll be all good.

Papi, okay, okay. Okay.

- Love you, baby. - I love you too, Papi.

Hello?

Hey, congratulations, bitch.

I just saw you on the news.

Ain't this like your fifth guilty verdict this year?

It's like my eighth. But who's counting?

Well, excuse me then, Ms. Big prosecutor,
