[Music]

let me find another

[Music]

and i didn't think i needed

[Music]

[Music]

seemed like the white hair just get

longer and longer i don't see the

purpose of signing in

probably because you arrive later and

later each visit

despite what you think keema the world

does not revolve around you

did my new medicaid application get

accepted yet

you're kidding me right you have far

bigger issues to worry about dear

your children are in child protective

services custody

and they have been for two days now

there's no telling when you're gonna get

them back

i thought you said i'd get them back

today once i signed up for this job

training program

keema it is more than just signing up

you

actually have to go through the training

you have to listen learn and then

apply for jobs you know one that we can

actually

verify that you've submitted

applications to

so i got to do all of this before i get

my kids back

yes and

all benefits from this office are

suspended until you satisfy our

requirements

so how we supposed to eat if we don't

get that check next week

keema who do you think you're fooling

you know

we're trained to sniff out [ __ ] and

what that's supposed to mean

look i follow you on social media honey

i see the clothes i see the comments

and you certainly are never dressed like

this on there only when you come to this

office

so what you stalking me now i'm blocking

your ass i'm back

i'm blocking you that's a fact i'm gonna

be straight forward with you

is the reason we will now all fear for

our lives

treasure get out here eat some of these

crabs

treasure come on

treasure

what you mad at me

you know you're not supposed to be

talking back to me now let's go

come on

look i don't want you to grow up like i

did okay

that's why i'm working so hard i'm

trying to get a house so i can have a

yard for you and your brothers to play

i don't want you to hear gunshots every

night

i want you to go to college have a

career

that's why i'm all in right now

but i love you you know that i love you

right

yeah i know everybody does

that's lance isn't it too much

what's up lance i'm just trying to see

how things are going

they're going why haven't you returned

my calls in the last few days

things have been hectic over the past

few days things i can

probably help you with

why do you care so much i mean i'm not

looking for romance right i just think

you're a strong

beautiful woman i like that i think i

can make your life

a little easier maybe even happy really

yeah you remind me of my mom she was a

single mom too

she went through a lot to raise my

brother and i all by herself so you see

me the way you see your mom

i see a lot of her in you and you're

determined

resilient and you're not allowing what

you're going through to tell you down

i'm just trying to be an asset and not a

liability

like most of the guys probably know also

you feeling yourself huh

just give me a chance to show you who i

am go on a date with me

okay well i have a few interviews

tomorrow and

um i'll just call you after fair enough

[Music]

[Laughter]

what are you saying

[Music]

so uh after looking over your

application you have a short work

history why is that

like because i've been taking care of my

kids you know it's hard to work and play

mommy at the same time right

yeah i do know i have kids as well

well i got three and they all named

after money

treasure cash and dinero and that cash

let me tell you

he is just so what assets do you bring

to this

establishment assets

oh i got skills trust

[Music]

well what would you say your strengths

and weaknesses are

uh well my strengths are being a good

mom

i mean it's hard raising a little girl

you got kids no i don't

uh and your weakness oh i don't have a

weakness

you know you got to be tough where i'm

from hold it down you know

10 toes down feel me right

i see well it was great meeting with you

um we'll be in touch

your move my dear

so you are good

indeed you did indeed you did but not

that good boom looks like you're gonna

have to wait until

next time to get your victory my dear

i've waited for your mom

long enough sorry about that

so uh is this how you're gonna spend the

rest of your day

you don't go outside play with any of

your friends

nope every little girl should go outside

and play with a friend sometime

i'm fine

okay well

oh i almost forgot i got you something

um i believe you owe me two words thank

you you are very welcome

now don't forget to tell your mother

that i stopped by like i said i would

and

please remember to give her those

flowers and don't forget to tell her

about that person i just got you

all right

do you mind if i get that yeah

good afternoon mrs vines nice to see you

again mr sanders

i was just leaving

well good afternoon little lady

oh i see we're working on some math

i loved math that was my favorite

subject in school

mine too i'm gonna be a doctor someday

they say you gotta be good man

treasure how come i never see you smile

you know you're a beautiful girl

intelligent

you have a lot of responsibility with

for your brothers

i just wish i could see you happier more

often

there's not a lot to smile sure there

is i feel trapped

treasure what do you mean talk to me

about it

that's what i'm here for sweetie

imagine being

locked away with people who don't think

like you

act like you but you're forced to be

within 24 hours

today what would you do

do you want to leave if i

could i would you're going to have to

leave at some point you told me before

that you

definitely wanted to go away to college

but i live in a hood and my mama's on

welfare

people can't choose their family but you

can choose how to live your life

if you want to leave then you can leave

so that's what we're doing now just

popping up at my spot my husband's on

huh and treasure you should know better

because i already told you not to just

be letting anybody in here when i'm not

home she's not just anybody she's our

social worker

now what i told you about reading this

poison ain't nothing in here but people

getting locked up and murdered

me

don't do that to me treasure i keep

asking you what happened

and when i asked you you don't want to

talk about it tell me what happened

of that but

at the end of the day she's still a baby

and i just wanted to have her innocence

look i i got you all right just calm

down

the police are on their way back the

first thing i need you to know is that

pepe is not your ally

that's what i've been trying to tell you

i i figured out his plan to spend the

money from you

the fact that they

might take treasure tonight all right

miss feinstein is already on the way

down here to help treasure out but i

promise you i promise you

i will get treasure back we will get

treasure back

hey

room please i may need a little more

time with miss newell here

you are trying to see everything

i ended up telling the police play about

play about how to pre-attempt this and

molest me

how imani killed dupree and how shane

wasn't an issue at all

they got ripped from imani's death my

mother they got her for obstruction of

justice

i wear my scars like

diamond chains

hard to believe the other side

the sad part is

maybe this is what she really needed she

thought she was playing the streets

but the streets required it's the best

part of me the good thing is she was

given a second chance

and got out after serving two years and

became the best mother to us just like

she promised

day spa
