Happy Anniversary (2025) Movie Script
1
Oh!
Help!
Help!
Here. I...
you always do this wrong.
Let me help you.
You know I always tie it wrong
so that you could help me, right?
Oh, really?
So is this your way of
getting me close to you?
Maybe.
Well.
You know, I cannot believe
that you weren't gonna wear
a regular tie to our wedding.
I forgot to turn your neck down, baby.
Now you're turning it down now.
Kind of.
-Yeah.
And I'm glad you made me
wear bowtie because...
What?
I want you to help me tie it.
Oh, you... no.
Stop.
Baby.
Can you believe we've
been married a whole year?
Well, I can't say it's been easy.
Anything worth having is
worth fighting for, right?
Right.
And we made it.
And I couldn't be happier.
Me neither.
Now come here, I got something for you.
Come on. What?
Come on.
Over here.
I want you to sit right there.
Baby, wait. No.
I told you. I didn't want anything.
I just wanted me, you,
and dinner.
-Dinner.
I know we agreed to no gifts,
but I couldn't resist.
Especially after seeing your face
looking at that window when
we was out the other day.
Oh, baby.
No.
No, you did not get me
that bracelet I wanted.
I sure did.
Happy anniversary, baby.
Oh, my gosh, Henry.
I'm not gonna lie.
I got you something too.
Wait. Baby, we...
Shh. Ah. Just...
- What is it?
Sit right here, close your eyes.
Close my eyes?
And get ready for a big surprise.
- Baby, what did you get me?
- Shh.
You know you didn't
have to get me anything.
You're always trying to one-up me.
- This better be good.
Henry, open your eyes.
Happy anniversary!
This is how you remember me.
Do you remember?
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying
"I love you"
I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
Here's my beautiful queen.
-Thank you...
Hey, babe.
-Hey, baby, baby.
Stop. Wait. Your mom's looking.
Wow.
Your mother's dress really worked.
You are the most beautiful in the room.
Well, you know, I had to keep
my promise to her, you know?
God rest her soul.
Yeah.
-We're here today.
Get a room.
Oh.
Hi, son.
Well, hello, Mrs. Bridesmaid.
Wow, you look younger than
half the women in this room.
Thank you. I know.
Sam.
-Yes.
You're the best thing that
ever happened to my Henry.
And I just wanna make sure
that you take care of him
just like I did before you.
You mean this, Ms.
Debbie, thank you so much.
I appreciate that.
And I know that I have some
really big shoes to fill,
Mrs. Majors.
But as the next Mrs. Majors,
I think I'm up for the task.
I think you are too.
And you.
You better take care of this woman.
It ain't every day that you get so blessed.
Son, treat her like the queen she is, okay?
You know I will, Mother.
You know he's got that in the bag.
- This is so beautiful.
Oh. I'm so happy.
-You made the king.
Look at this.
Ashley, what are you doing here?
Oh, I just came to support an old friend.
I heard you were off the
market so I had to come see
who the lucky lady was.
Ashley Echo.
Oh, as in Echo Motors?
Uh-hmm. I see you know your stuff.
Yes, well, don't think
I didn't do my research
on all my competition before I had to, uh,
take this handsome man as
my lawfully wedded husband.
So nice to meet you.
Um, yes. Well, Mrs. Majors...
Yes.
-...Ms. Echo,
uh, I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
I'll be right back.
-Okay.
Okay.
Ashley.
-Uh-hmm.
Sit your ass down.
Jesus.
You know, it would have been
nice to know that you invited
your high school sweetheart to our wedding.
I mean, I just feel like a complete idiot.
Baby, I didn't even know she was coming.
She's not even a full
high school sweetheart.
Me and Ashley dated
back when we were, like,
juniors in high school.
-Hmm.
Yes, both of our parents do
a lot of business together
but that's it.
-Hmm.
I haven't spoken to her in years.
Well, it would've been nice
to know she was coming.
That's all I'm saying.
Please just enjoy the moment.
Sure.
How's your dinner?
Lovely.
Uh, I was wondering, uh,
what is it that you do again, Samantha?
Samantha runs her own business.
Baby, um, I'm an adult,
I think I can speak for myself here.
I'm the CEO and founder
of my own commercial marketing company.
Do people even use commercial
marketing companies anymore?
I mean, everything is
social media based now.
Apparently so.
I mean, my company is a
multimillion dollar company.
Well, Echo Motors just this past year
reached our billion dollar mark.
Hmm.
-We just started
building airplane engines.
Hmm, is that why there's been
so many plane crashes?
Ladies, can we please put the claws away
and just enjoy dinner?
I'm enjoying it.
How about that?
Have a nice day.
-Sure.
Oh, whoa, come on...
Everyone, let's give it up for Mr. And Mrs.
Henry Majors!
Oh, whoa, come on
I think it's time we do it again
Do it again
One time for the one
time swingin' my way
Two times gonna fly, my
friends will throw bass
Uh-huh, it's a good time
Everybody know your game in my hood now
Oh, in the first night
Oh, you're my bad bae
Oh, no waiting on the weekend
Now it's going down
Girl, don't you miss me?
Don't you miss me?
Going for the same way
I know, it's been a long time
So let's get you back to my place
Oh, whoa, come on
I think it's time we do it again
Do it again
Baby, where you going?
Baby. Baby.
Baby.
At least let me help you.
Why don't you go help Ashley?
At least I told you about her.
You didn't have to hear
about her from somebody else.
Oh, and you think that's
supposed to make it better
because you told me?
I'm sorry.
Why?
Out of all the people
in the world, why her?
I don't know. Look, what
do you want me to say?
I don't want you to say anything.
If you wanna go be with Ashley,
the high school sweetheart,
then go be with her.
That's the problem.
I don't wanna be with her.
She was a mistake.
I wanna be with you.
-Bullshit.
Baby, please.
I promise I won't do it again.
I just don't know if I
can trust you anymore.
Sam.
Come on, Sam. Don't do this.
What can I do to make you believe me?
Nothing.
Sam! Sam!
You have one minute.
Thanks for coming, Sam.
I didn't think you would.
Just say what you have to say, Henry.
Look, I'm sorry.
I should've never disrespected
our marriage the way I did.
I don't know what came over me.
And as foolish as it may sound,
I never meant to hurt you.
But you did.
And a cheat is a cheat.
I just feel so betrayed.
I know. And I'm sorry.
I promise I'll spend the rest
of my life making it up to you.
That's if you'll take me back.
I just... I don't know.
I just...
I need time to process and to think.
But if I do take you back, say yes,
you better never hurt me
again or I'll kill you.
Okay. Damn.
I love you.
I love you too.
Happy anniversary.
This is so you remember me.
Do you remember?
I want to see you again
Oh, oh
Hey, Percy, it's Summer. Is Pam there?
So make sure you write that down.
And then by Monday, I need to know
where that client is.
- Pamela?
Yes.
-Summer is on the phone.
Thanks, I'll take that in my office.
All right, ladies, I need the mortgage
property values before lunch, okay?
Thank you.
What's up, girl?
Girl, I need the plans on that house ASAP.
I cannot allow this client to pull out.
You need to allow him to pull out
so that you don't get pregnant.
Girl, why do you always
have to be so nasty?
And you do realize there's other ways
I'm not getting pregnant.
You do realize that, right?
True. And yes, I'm always nasty.
Oh, girl. I am just so
nervous about this wedding.
I just want it to be perfect.
And it will be, Summer, okay?
Don't worry.
- Okay, girl.
I gotta get out of here.
Um, my clients are here.
I'll call you later.
-Love you.
Okay. Bye.
-Bye.
Okay.
Hello, hello, hello.
Mr. and Mrs. Medows, I'm Summer.
Welcome. You guys come right this way.
I cannot wait to show you this house.
When I say the plans are gorgeous,
I mean gorgeous, very well thought out.
- Oh, you know what?
Can you excuse me for one second?
Uh, you guys go right on in, take a look.
Um, there's some water, some snacks.
I'll be right there.
Hey, babe.
How is the most beautiful woman I know?
Well, how many beautiful women do you know?
I'm actually, um, showing
the Mitchell's house today.
Oh, okay.
I actually got done showing my last home.
Hmm. So you'll beat me home?
- Yes.
And I will have your dinner waiting for you
when you get home, my queen.
So that means take out?
Hey, at least you get to eat.
Oh, babe, I'm just so
nervous about the wedding.
I really just want it to be
exactly as we planned it.
You don't think we're
rushing into it, do you?
Hey, no, no, no, don't say that.
We are in love, okay?
I knew it at the moment I
laid eyes on you at that bar.
No. What if... what if it doesn't work?
It will. Trust me.
We are going to make this work.
It is me and you, baby.
Forever and ever, babe.
Forever.
Okay. I'll call you back.
Bye.
All right.
Oh, oh
Woo, woo
You look great, son.
Dad, thank you.
I love you, but can we please
skip all the mushy mush, okay?
I'm trying to get married here.
I'm sorry, son.
But your mother would be so proud.
Dad, please.
Come on, trying to make me cry.
Okay. Here we go.
Ring, please.
-Yeah.
Do you, Emit Anderson,
take this lovely woman, Summer Johnson,
for your lawful wedded
wife, to have and to hold,
for better or worse, for richer or poorer,
so help you?
Oh, I definitely do.
Now your ring.
And you, Summer Johnson,
take this wonderful man,
Emit Anderson, for your
lawful wedded husband,
to have and to hold, for better or worse,
for richer or poorer, so help you?
You know I do.
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
You may kiss the bride.
We did it.
We did it. We married.
You're right.
Because I ain't gonna let Jesus
or any other man take the wheel.
Ooh.
-Okay.
Okay. -No, but for real, you guys.
Can I just please say one
thing right now, please?
Okay. This woman right here,
my friends, changed me, okay?
I used to be a player, right?
I used to be irresponsible, okay?
I was pretty much everything
that a man shouldn't be.
But then I came and met this one here.
Ooh, everything changed.
Mm-mm. And why don't you stop it?
Wait, no, Emit has always been
all the man I have ever needed, okay?
That's right.
I just had to upgrade him a little.
Oh, what?
No, no, no, upgrade me?
Upgrade me?
Y'all, this DJ is hitting.
Uh, turn the music down
a little bit, please.
I have something to say.
Congratulations you two.
Y'all make me wanna get married.
These two, they make you
wanna fall in love, y'all.
But I'm not about that love life.
Okay. Don't let her lie to y'all.
She wouldn't get married if
Jesus himself told her to.
You know what?
- No shade.
You're right. Jesus or
any man taking the wheel.
Okay.
My man is not even having
a bachelor party, okay?
I mean, how is the best man
supposed to be the best man
without giving a bachelor party?
No, but for real, when do you guys
gonna have little Emits and little Summers?
Girl, slow down, we have not even made it
to the honeymoon yet, right?
-Yeah. Jeez.
We just got married.
Look, I just wanna say, for the record,
that I am still mad at you.
Really?
-Why?
For not letting me give you
the proper bachelor party.
Me too, man.
- Oh, my God.
What? What? What? -Look,
look, look, me and wifey
wanted to keep things simple, you know.
We didn't need all that.
Besides, I got everything I need
in this woman right here all wrapped up.
Oh. Yeah. Minus the stripper poles.
Look, look, look, look.
-Stop it.
But look, on Saturday,
I'm going to the strip
club without him now.
You gotta take me too, man.
- Take, take... bring my dad.
- He'll like that, do that.
- You bring my dad.
- Do you wanna go?
Dad's going.
-There we go.
- There it is.
Dad's available.
But I'm gonna... I'm gonna go
ahead and do a little toast.
All right. -Careful. Careful now.
Oh, I'm still looking sharp though.
Okay. I just wanna...
Yeah. -I just wanna say this...
Say this to you, Emit.
I love you so much, brother.
I love you.
- I...
we known each other since college.
Now I ain't gonna tell you
what we got into, all right?
Hey. Shh.
-Okay?
No, but for real, man,
I'm glad you found your queen, bro.
I love y'all.
Now, Summer...
Uh-oh.
I don't know what you
did to tame this beast.
But whatever it is,
you enter our lives with
nothing but love and grace.
And for that, I love you.
Oh, Jake.
-I love you both.
We love you.
-Yes.
And I can't believe I'm saying this.
I'm actually happy you
guys found each other.
Okay. Hold on,
you ain't gonna upstage me
on the speeches.
I got something to say, okay?
So I can't wait for y'all
to get to that honeymoon
so Emit can get in there...
-Girl.
...because I know Summer...
Don't be...
had you wait till y'all was married.
Hell, yeah.
But like I always said,
everything good is worth
waiting for, right?
Thank you.
-Uh-hmm.
And I'm talking about that kitty cat.
Uh-hmm. Legendary, huh?
Hmm.
You know what... -I'm
so happy for you two.
- I'm just messing with you.
- I love you, guys.
We love you. We love you.
Let me go ahead.
Uh-oh, it's the speech wars.
I'll say something else.
Can everybody stand up, please?
Can everybody stand up?
To the bride and groom.
To the bride and groom.
Bride and groom.
-Cheers.
Cheers. Cheers.
Eye contact, everybody.
-Right?
Uh-huh. You know
what I want right now
Uh-huh. You know what I want right now
Uh-huh. You know what I want right now
I'm gonna fall in love
for real like that
You know that I love it
when you ride like that
Baby, fall in love when
they fall off track
Because everybody love it
when you do it like that
Tell me what I want right now
You know what I want right now
Tell me what I want right now
You know what I want right now
That's fine. I'm okay with that.
All right. Well, either way,
you know how much I love you, right?
Uh-hmm. Actually, I don't.
But I love it when you tell me.
Uh-hmm.
You know how much my mom meant to me.
You are right at that level, if not above.
I know. I know your mom meant a lot to you.
I wish I could have met her.
She would loved you just as much as I do.
Trust me.
Look, look, look, put it like this.
If you take the Earth, you quadruple that
and you times that by infinity,
that's how much I love you.
That's it?
-Oh, whatever woman.
Damn. I should have said
infinity times infinity.
Exactly.
I might have been with you.
Uh-oh.
Oh, I cannot wait
until I give you your gift tomorrow night.
Baby, what? No.
-What?
No, I told you don't get me anything
because you are the gift.
Look, it's our first anniversary
and I wanted to make sure I
got you something special.
Well, now I feel bad because
I didn't get you anything.
It doesn't matter.
I still love you anyway.
Okay?
Okay. How about this?
-What?
How about I prepare a
beautiful dinner for us
tomorrow night here at the house,
just me and you?
-Ooh, okay.
Well, in that case,
I'mma need some of that salmon.
-Okay.
And that broccolini that you make.
Ooh.
-Super fire.
All right.
I think I can do that.
Oh, you think so?
-Yeah.
You think so?
Okay.
Hey, I love you so much.
I love you too.
Yeah, oh
I'm in here, baby.
Baby, I'm in here.
Hmm. Damn, it smells bomb up in here.
How was your day?
Better now that I'm home. Hmm.
Hmm. Well, I'm glad you feel that way
because your whole world
is about to change.
Man, the food that bomb?
You talking like life-altering dinner here?
Life-altering. Go sit down.
Okay.
Baby, you are a king,
and you should be treated that way.
Okay.
-Uh-hmm.
I mean, the way you got this all laid out,
it makes me wish it was
our anniversary every day.
Oh, baby.
This is just the beginning.
Now eat your food.
Hmm.
-Hmm, guess what?
What?
I have one more surprise for you.
Really?
-That's right.
Just sit right here.
-Right.
Hold up, before you do that,
happy anniversary.
Oh, baby, you shouldn't have.
You got the one with the gun on it.
Uh-hmm. I mean, I knew
you really wanted it.
This is literally all
you been talking about.
So I wanna make sure I got it for you.
Uh-hmm. Wow.
I love you so much.
I love you too, baby.
I'll be right back, okay?
Okay.
-Okay.
Sit right down.
Got another surprise for you.
Okay.
Hmm.
Baby, this steak is to die for.
Exactly.
Damn!
Summer, what the hell
is wrong with you, huh?
Nothing.
Damn it!
Give me my...
what the...
Oh, man. Get up.
Get your ass up.
I said get your ass up!
Where are you going?
Would you look at this?
Get up.
Why are you doing this?
Why do people do things, Emit?
I don't know.
Some people do it for fun,
others may think it's funny
to make fun of other's insecurities.
Hey, Faith.
- Oh.
Hey, Mom.
You don't have to hide from me.
Mom, why doesn't anyone wanna be my friend?
Oh, that's not true, baby.
I wanna be your friend.
Yeah, but you're my mom.
You have to be my friend.
Listen to me, baby.
I'm your friend because I love you.
No matter what.
And I always will.
I love you too.
You know what?
We're gonna have our own party
and we are gonna eat up all these cupcakes.
Ready?
Hey, Faith.
- Oh.
Hey, Faith... I mean, Thomas.
You could call me Tommy.
Okay.
I heard you were throwing a party today.
Yeah.
That nobody showed up to.
Stop laughing, idiots.
You're gonna give it away.
Well, do you wanna see something?
Um, sure.
Follow us. Come on.
Yup, stand up.
Stand up.
You know, I would put
you out of your misery
and end it all for you right now
just so you wouldn't have to suffer.
But then I'd be doing you a favor
and I wanna see you suffer, so...
happy anniversary, baby.
"Thomas Stevens running for mayor."
Oh, yeah?
Hmm, hmm, hmm.
I'm coming for you, Thomas.
Come on, walk next to me, Faith.
Give me my bag.
Yo.
Here we are. Right here is the spot.
I mean, okay, it's a tree.
What's the big deal?
You think you can climb to the top?
What? No way.
It's way too tall. I'd fall.
No, it isn't.
Me and the boys climb
this tree all the time.
Yeah.
-Yeah.
Don't you wanna be friends?
I mean, yeah, but I don't
wanna get hurt either.
Don't be scared.
We're right here with you.
Do you trust me?
Yeah.
-Okay then.
Come on.
I wanna let you know that
this isn't only a win for me.
This is a win for you as well.
That's right.
So let our city be the same.
Gathered together in harmony.
And I assure you as your new mayor
that we will bring change
to this very community.
Oh, my God.
Cover up. Cover up, please
Someone call 911, please.
Help! Help!
Fifty-Charley, I have an 11-25
License...
Call 911.
Do you copy, say again?
Well, there's no secret.
That debate was a complete
and total disaster.
I mean, come on. Kelly killed us
and we didn't even have a
response for his shenanigans.
So instead of looking stupid,
let's throw some stuff
on the board and see what sticks.
You got your ass handed
to you because you weren't
the same confident, swagged
it out brother we all know.
The man we wanted to vote for.
Tell us, man. What's wrong?
Nothing wrong with me, Sean.
You're only as good as your team.
So let's pick this up
or you all don't want me
to be the next mayor of Los Angeles?
Thomas, I don't feel well.
Baby, you're probably dehydrated.
You've been going hard for
the last couple of days.
I'll get you some water.
Katie, can you get her some water, please?
Thank you.
So come on.
What are we gonna do?
Huh?
Other than Sean here,
who else thinks we should
just throw in the towel
or do we continue and forge forward?
Thomas? -Baby, she's going to get
the water right now.
I need you to call the councilman...
Baby!
Baby, baby. Call 911.
Oh, my God, she's not breathing.
She's not breathing.
-Sure.
She's not breathing. Hurry up!
Baby, baby, baby, baby, wake up.
Come on, baby. Stay with me.
Stay with me, baby.
Dr. Sherman, OBG-1.
Dr. Sherman, OBG-1.
You're gonna make it, baby.
You hear me?
You got to make it, baby.
Dr. Flores, dial 118 please.
Dr. Flores, dial 118.
You need to use this.
This pain,
this realness,
let people see the real you.
Who the hell are you?
How did you get in here?
I'm Diana Mitchell.
I'm a reporter from the Capitol.
I'm not here for a story, Mr. Stevens.
You need to leave.
You need to leave now.
Listen, my best friend is your wife's RN.
And Shelly's been in and out of
the hospital and no one knows
that she's dying of stage
four lymphoma cancer.
And no one will if that's what you want.
But as a journalist and a woman who knows
her politics very well,
I know you're losing.
And your chances for
mayor are slim to none.
But this is real life.
People like real life.
Hiding your true life is exactly
what's gonna make you lose.
But if you show the world
that you're battling too,
that you're a person too
and you're not perfect,
then...
people will feel like they can
vote for someone that's like them.
Trust me.
This is exactly what you need
to become Los Angeles' new mayor.
Thomas. Sorry, man. No one
knew she was even here.
She got through security. Let's go.
It's fine, Sean.
It's fine. I got it.
Sure?
Yeah.
Dr.
Ms. or is it Mrs.?
Um, Ms. Definitely not a Mrs. yet.
Well, Ms. Mitchell,
you brought up some very valid points.
I could use someone like you on my team.
How would you like to quit that job down
at the Capitol and help run my campaign?
I would love that.
Welcome aboard.
I'll, um, leave you to it.
Social Worker to Room 102.
Social Worker to Room 102.
You don't even know this woman!
I know what she's capable of.
And from what I hear, she
has quite the reputation.
Brother, she knows politicians
better than politicians know themselves.
She's out there with those
voters on the streets.
That's what gives her the edge.
That is what we're missing.
That is what we need.
And that is what's gonna
get me elected mayor.
I've been with you for the last four years.
We made it this far together, you and I.
So, you're gonna have to choose.
If she stays, I'm gone.
Sean, you have taken me as far as you can,
and I appreciate you.
But I'm grown, my brother, and
I guess you can't grow with me.
What makes you so sure you
can have that with her?
Have you seen the numbers?
I'm up in the votes 70%.
Oh.
-You hear me? 70%.
I'm killing Kelly by a landslide,
and that's all because
she gave me that one piece
of advice about going public
with my wife's sickness.
Exactly, one piece of advice.
That's what we needed to swing.
What? You and the team weren't
coming up with anything.
Oh.
I was drowning,
committing political suicide,
and you were right there with me.
Thomas, this is nonsense and you know it.
Are you hitting that?
You are.
You're hitting that.
You've got to be kidding me, man.
I mean, you wanna risk your
entire political career
for a piece of...
this ain't you, man. This ain't you.
What I do with my private
life is no concern to you.
It does when you could ruin your career.
My wife is dying.
You understand that?
Dying,
hooked up to machines
that are keeping her alive
for the past couple weeks.
She doesn't know me. She
doesn't even know herself.
My marriage is dead
and so was my career until
she came into my life.
So, excuse me if I don't
agree with your theory.
And for your information,
I'm not screwing her.
I never thought I'd see the day
when you choose hoes over bros.
Things change, Sean.
Now if you're with me, then you're with me.
But if you're against
me, you're against me.
But honestly, that woman has made me
the happiest I've been in years.
And if you can't see that, then...
I guess you were never by
my side in the first place.
I, uh, guess you heard that?
Not everything but enough.
Yeah.
Sorry you had to hear that.
Sean's been with me for a while.
Listen, I'm not trying to ruffle
any feathers or change things.
I just had a few ideas that I
thought I could help out with.
I'm not trying to come
between you and your friend.
It's not your fault.
Sean and I have been at odds for a while.
His departure was coming.
Maybe you just gave me a
little push that I needed.
Thank you.
For what?
For making me Los Angeles' next mayor.
Do you remember me, Thomas?
Do you remember me?
Go ahead, Faith. Climb up.
I already told you, I'm
not climbing anything.
I'm too heavy.
Too heavy is right.
Too heavy for this?
Oh, my God.
What the hell?
Please don't hurt me.
Tommy said climb your fat ass up that tree.
So do it now before I shoot you.
Actually, my brother, that's my job.
What are we...
- You sure it's not loaded?
- Relax, bro.
- It's not loaded, bro.
- All right.
Why are you guys doing this?
This isn't funny.
It isn't funny?
It's funny to us.
Go, climb, go!
Diana, would you sit down?
You're making me nervous.
I'm making you nervous?
- Yes.
You're only up in the
polls by five percent,
which could swing it any
moment, which also means
you could be down at any moment.
And since I am now your campaign manager
and you fired Sean, I can't help it then.
I'm just a little bit nervous.
-Diana...
come.
Have a seat.
Okay.
You want a drink?
Hmm, dry scotch on the rocks if you got it.
Okay.
A woman who knows what she likes,
but, unfortunately, all I have is tequila.
Hmm, I'm okay.
You know, when I'm appointed mayor,
I'm getting rid of all
this tacky-ass furniture.
I mean, get something a little
bit more mayoral, you know?
Hmm.
-Something with a nice
gloss finish.
Mayoral.
-Mayoral.
Drink.
-I don't. I actually...
I don't and I haven't in a very long time.
Okay.
But when was the last time
you were a campaign manager
for a man who's running for mayor who's up
five percent when he could be down?
Touch.
One drink.
-One drink.
Cheers.
-Cheers.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Ooh.
Oh, my gosh. -Is it biting a little bit?
Yeah. Yeah.
- I can't believe you did that.
That's crazy.
-To this day,
I still cannot believe I did that.
I had no clothes. And I
didn't even have a ride home.
And...
-You're tripping.
I know. I know.
-You're tripping.
I told myself I would
never trust a man again.
And nor should you.
-That's right.
I wouldn't either.
I mean, you could trust me.
Hmm.
-Hmm.
How do I know that?
Um, wait.
I am sorry.
I'm so sorry.
As much as I want to, um, you're married.
I'm sorry, Thomas. I just... I can't.
Uh, I'm sorry.
Yeah, it's okay.
I... No, I get it.
Maybe I had too much to drink.
Yeah. Probably.
Um, I actually think maybe
I should... I should go.
Um, I can take that.
-Okay.
Um, I can walk you to the door.
Oh, no, no, no. There's no need.
I'm just gonna get my stuff 'cause I...
yeah, I have my stuff.
It's just right there.
I can call you an Uber
'cause we're drinking.
Yes. I wanna be just like...
Responsible.
- Yeah.
Right. Right.
- Yup.
It's okay. I... I'm good.
I'm just, you know...
yeah.
Um...
it's...
I'm just gonna get my stuff.
Okay.
Yup, it's right here.
So I have your vote, right?
Excellent. Excellent.
Uh-hmm.
I appreciate it. Thank you.
We look forward to your vote.
Yes.
Okay.
Um, can I call you right back?
Okay.
Diana, what are you doing?
You don't have to do this.
I do.
Look, I'm not a home-wrecker, Thomas.
Look, I'm good at my job, yes.
But when my feelings
get in between that job,
that's my exit. I'm sorry.
Diana, sit down.
I can't.
-Sit!
Now when I started this campaign,
I wanted to make change in
this great city that made me.
I wanted to be the mayor
that this city needed.
Not only the mayor but
the man this city needed.
Then Shelly got sick...
and my world was crushed.
I didn't know who I was
or what I wanted anymore.
Why are you telling me this?
Because I met you.
Everything started to make sense.
Look, if you wanna leave,
I can't stop you.
But you gotta understand, I'm gonna win.
And not only am I gonna win
for myself, I'm gonna win
for that little boy who dreamed big.
I'm gonna win for my wife.
And I'm gonna win for you if you stay.
You help me find that man that was missing.
And, honestly...
I don't know if that man is gonna
still be here if you leave.
What are you saying?
I'm saying I can't finish this without you.
And if you're out, then I'm out.
Thomas, no. No, you can't pull out now.
You've come too far.
-No.
No. You're too close.
No.
We're too close.
I don't know what to say.
Don't say anything.
Just stay.
Come on now. Let's finish this together.
And if you wanna leave
after the campaign is over,
then you have my support.
I already lost Shelly.
Don't make me lose you too.
You're not gonna lose me too.
I'm...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
-No, no.
It's...
it's fine.
I'm sorry. I don't...
I don't know what came over.
Good morning.
Good morning.
How'd you sleep?
On this little couch?
-Uh-hmm.
Better than a king-size mattress.
Hmm.
-Slept like a baby.
How are the numbers?
You're up by 15%. Yeah.
I know it's a long stretch
but you're looking really good right now.
And if the president vouches for you,
you are definitely gonna win.
Sounds good.
-Uh-hmm.
So about yesterday,
I just first wanted to
apologize for my actions.
There's no need to apologize.
We're both adults.
Things happen, right?
Right.
-Yeah.
Okay. Hmm.
Well, I thought about what
you said and you're right.
We're in this together.
But from now on, we are gonna keep things
strictly professional.
Strictly professional.
All right.
Thank you, Ms. Mitchell.
Yeah. You're welcome.
Dr. Sherman, please call 221.
Dr. Sherman, call 221.
Hey.
- Hey.
Mr. Stevens, there is nothing
more we can do for her.
All of her major organs have failed.
Her brain is unresponsive.
What does that mean? I mean, come on.
Now you... there's gotta
be something you can do.
The machines
are breathing for her.
It's just a matter of time.
How long?
How long?
A few hours tops, Mr. Stevens.
I'm so sorry.
We have done all we can.
Um, thank you all for coming.
It's...
it's a sad day in the Stevens household.
My wife of three years, Shelly Stevens,
left us yesterday.
She was my biggest supporter,
my biggest cheerleader.
I'm gonna miss her dearly.
Um...
thank you all for your
support and your prayers.
Thank you.
Um, no questions at this time please.
Thank you.
So what happened?
- About that?
- Uh-hmm.
A little accident when I was younger.
Yeah, well, they say
every scar has its story,
so what's that one?
You know what?
No one even knows this
story, not even my wife,
but I'll tell you.
What makes me so special?
It's just something rare about you.
You feel like home.
I can trust you.
When I was 13, my friends and
I did something really stupid.
Get her.
Don't know why I didn't stop.
I kept going.
The entire time I knew it was wrong.
I don't know.
Maybe I was trying to impress my friends.
It was weird.
So that's how I got the scar.
I got hit in the head with
a rock, rightfully so.
Hmm.
This scar reminds me of who I was,
who I never wanna be again.
It changed me.
So what happened to your friends?
Who knows?
I haven't seen or heard from those guys
since it happened.
For all I know, they could be dead.
Did they ever find the girl?
No.
I tell myself she's in a better place,
somewhere safe.
But sometimes I feel like she haunts me.
Like she's just always there, watching me.
You can probably see why I
don't talk about it much.
It is a very tragic story.
I bet I look different to you now, huh?
No.
I think that any man that can
go through what you went through
and make it out to be
the person you are today,
it's beautiful.
Okay.
All right.
Since we're playing show and tell,
what's the story with that
bullet hole in your chest?
Well, mine is the wrong
place at the wrong time.
Hmm.
Yeah, my ex-boyfriend, he was a drug dealer
and at the time, I didn't know it.
So he asked me to take a ride with him,
you know, to just drop something off.
And we pulled up
and then when he got out of the car,
that's when I heard the first gunshot.
And that's... that's the
last thing I remember.
I woke in the hospital the next day
and they told me he had been murdered
and I was lucky to be alive.
Crazy story.
Yeah, but I think yours
got me beat by a landslide.
Oh, you think this scar is something?
You see this one? -Uh-hmm. Uh-hmm.
Let me see. -Fourth grade monkey bars.
Okay. Ooh, we all got a monkey bar scar.
Monkey bars.
I... I guess we both have scars.
Yeah.
Good morning, Mr. Mayor.
Not yet, but
I like the sound of it.
Maybe we just shouldn't have done this.
Uh-uh, uh-uh.
We're not doing that.
We had a connection and a moment.
Come on. Tell me I'm not
the one feeling that.
You're not.
Listen, I've never felt more alive
since the day I met you.
It's like something in me was missing,
then you came in and filled it.
It's like I've known you my entire life.
I feel it too, Thomas.
Marry me.
What?
Are you serious?
I've never been more serious in my life.
I wanna spend the rest of my days with you.
But what about your campaign?
What about your career?
You have done nothing but enhance my life
and my career since the moment I met you.
Every decision, every choice,
every word that you spoke to
me has all been for the better.
So why stop now?
Yes.
- Yes?
Yes.
-Yes.
Yes. See? - Yes, I'll marry you.
Are you sure?
- Yes, Mrs. Stevens.
I love it. I love it. I love it.
Yes. Yes. Yeah.
We've gathered here today to
celebrate the life and love
of Thomas Stevens and Diana Mitchell.
You know what, Faith?
You should really learn your manners.
No.
-See, I'm trying to be cool
with you and you wanna
hit me or something...
my head with a rock?
You see what you did to me?
-I'm sorry.
I was trying to be your friend!
Now we can be blood related.
Henry. - Yeah, Tommy?
No.
You ever did target practice
on live bait before?
I don't think I have, Tommy.
What you getting at, bro?
No. Sorry. Please. Why are you doing this?
What y'all think?
You think I can hit her?
Sure can.
- You sure it ain't loaded, Emit?
- Relax, Henry.
It's not loaded.
I just don't wanna get in trouble.
Please don't.
Emit, count me down.
Three, two...
- Please don't.
- ... one.
I, Thomas Stevens...
I, Thomas Stevens.
Take you, Diana Mitchell...
Take you, Diana Mitchell.
... to be my
lawfully wedded wife...
To be my lawfully wedded wife.
... to have and to hold...
To have and to hold.
For richer or poorer...
For richer or poorer.
... till death do us part.
Till death do us part.
Now, Diana.
Yes. - Repeat after me.
I, Diana Mitchell...
I, Diana Mitchell.
Take you, Thomas Stevens...
Take you, Thomas Stevens.
... to be my
lawfully wedded husband...
To be my lawfully wedded husband.
... to have and to hold...
To have and to hold.
For richer or poorer...
For rich or for poor.
... till death do us part.
Till death do us part.
By the powers vested in me,
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
Thomas, you may kiss your bride.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Stevens,
ladies and gentlemen.
You are not supposed to go out like this.
This is not the plan.
You can't leave me like this.
You hear me?
Do you hear me?
What?
What is... what is wrong with you?
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
What is wrong with you?
You said the gun wasn't loaded?
I checked before...
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Emit, what is wrong with you?
My dad never loads this gun.
The gun was loaded and you knew it!
I didn't.
Oh, my God. Oh, my.
Oh, my God. Faith. Oh, my.
I'm sorry.
-You're not sorry.
You knew the gun was loaded.
It's your fault.
I didn't mean to kill her.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
I told you guys this was stupid.
We should have never
done this stupid prank.
No.
What the hell are we gonna do?
Oh, my God.
We gotta call 911 and
get her to a hospital.
Are you crazy?
I'm not going to jail for this.
What do you mean going to jail?
We're not gonna go to jail.
And my father's the DA.
She's bleeding out. She's...
I think she's dead.
No DA can cover up no dead body.
Let's leave her here and we'll
act like we were never here.
No one will ever know.
Are you dumb?
That's the dumbest thing I ever heard.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
I think Henry's right.
We should cover her up and leave her.
Well, what about the gun?
I'll take the gun.
I'll clean it and I'll
put it where it belongs.
I see my dad do it all the time.
Okay. Okay.
Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go.
Tommy, come on. Let's go.
Hello?
Hello?
Hey, hey, hey! Are you okay?
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Okay. You're okay.
You're okay. You're okay. Come on. Come on.
Let's get you to a hospital, all right?
Okay? All right. Let's go.
Okay. Okay. You're okay.
to ICU.
Please proceed to ICU.
Three, two, one.
Do you remember me now?
I'm the one who's supposed to kill you.
Just like Henry. Just like Emit.
This is not how it's supposed to go.
You have to make it through this, Thomas.
Do you hear me?
You have to make it through.
Because if you don't,
then that means my plan will have failed
and I am not going to fail.
That's how you feel
Go there if that's how you feel
Flexing on you, I got a reason
Look, now you got amnesia
Longing about distant days
I'm the only one who ain't changed
Flexing on you, I got a reason
Flexing on you, I got a reason
Shawty, I'm a wreck right now
Right now
Shawty, I'm a wreck right now
Back for the chance, When I pull up
Yo
'Cause everything
changed with you
Hey
Tell me she had
the pieces, had to sew it up
Tell me she had the
pieces, had to sew it up
I believed in you
I thought I knew my shawty pretty well
I was sleeping
I was sleeping, oh
So tell me,
Thomas, how are you feeling?
Well, as you know, the
accident was three months ago.
I don't remember everything,
just little pieces,
like broken memories from my childhood.
Oh, and I remember my wife.
Which one?
- Diana.
So you don't
remember your first wife?
No.
I know she passed away and
I know I should feel sad
because, you know, death is sad,
but I don't remember her, no.
Tell me
about your broken memories.
It's like I wanna remember
but my mind won't let me.
Hmm.
Often times when something
traumatic happens to us,
our mind will shut down our memories
to protect us from our thoughts.
You think I'll ever get my memory back?
Only time will tell.
Often times our memories
are jogged by something,
experiences that remind us.
Be patient, Mr. Mayor.
I'm sure they'll come back in time.
Thank you, Doctor. - Thank you.
Good afternoon,
great citizens of Los Angeles.
This is the first time I have addressed
the general public
since the attempted
assassination on my life
three months ago.
But let me be clear.
Nothing, and I do mean nothing,
not even a bullet is going to stop me
from cleaning up these streets.
I'd like to thank the doctors
at Riley Center Hospital
for rehabilitating me and
getting me back on my feet.
I'd like to thank my entire team and staff
for holding me down while
I was in this trying time.
I'd like to thank you,
the people of Los Angeles,
for not giving up on me and
keeping me as your Mayor.
Last by not least, I'd
like to thank my wife,
Diana Stevens,
who sat there by my bedside
while I was nursed back to health.
Today is actually our one year anniversary.
And let me tell you, it has
been one hell of a year.
In closing, I'd like
to leave you all with this.
Cherish the moments that you have
with this life that you were given
because one minute you can
be partying with friends,
hanging out with family,
and the next minute
you can be in the hospital
fighting for your life.
Cherish those who love
you and those you love
because you never know
when it's gonna be your last moments.
Thank you.
God bless Los Angeles
and God bless America.
I'll see you soon.
Hey, you.
-Hi.
What's all this?
What do you think? Do you like it?
I... I love it.
But why here?
We'll get to that. But did you get my gift?
You know I did.
Happy anniversary.
You really don't remember, do you?
This place is about four blocks
from the house I grew up in.
This is where you and I began.
What are you talking about?
Oh, come on now, Tommy.
You really don't remember
your past, just a little bit?
You know, after the incident,
my memory was kinda shot, so no.
Well, that's why we're
here, to help you remember.
Because I never forgot!
Why the hell are you pointing a gun at me?
I'm your husband.
- Put the gun down.
-'Cause you took my life.
You, Henry Majors,
and Emit Anderson left me for dead.
I don't know what you're talking about,
but if you put the gun down,
you and I can talk this out.
Just put the gun down.
You're lying. You're lying, Thomas.
Tell the truth.
-I'm not lying.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Just put the...
-Tell the truth.
Tell the truth.
I know exactly who you are, Faith.
How long have you known?
I knew the day you walked
into the hospital room.
The first time I saw your face, I knew.
You know, there's some faces
that you just can't forget
no matter how much time has passed.
So I started doing some
digging and I found out
that Emit and Henry,
they were both murdered
on this exact date, March 13th, 1995.
It's crazy.
I knew you were coming.
I just sat and waited for you to show up.
And you did not disappoint.
Why?
'Cause I thought I could fix it.
And if I could fix it, I'd be forgiven.
I don't wanna kill you. Really, I don't.
Henry and Emit, I killed them with...
without a blink of the eye.
You, as I stand here right now
ready to pull this trigger,
I just... I can't.
That's because what you
and I have was real.
And if we can just put
the past in the past,
then maybe we can move
forward to our future.
Now, you know we
can't do that, Thomas.
Why not?
Why can't we be together?
Because I have to kill you.
I'm sorry.
That's the plan.
I have to stick to my plan.
You don't have to do this.
You don't get to tell me what I have to
and what I don't have to do!
I bled out for hours, for hours, Thomas,
waiting for somebody to help me.
I was still alive.
You never had to leave me alone.
No, Thomas, no.
I was a kid.
I was 13 years old. I panicked.
I didn't wanna go to jail.
If I've known what I know now,
I swear I would have never played
that dumb-ass prank on you.
What prank?
It was Emit's idea.
We were supposed to just
take you to the tree
and scare you with the gun and that's it.
None of us knew that the gun was loaded.
And then you hit me in
the head with the rock.
But still I... I swear to you
I never knew that gun was...
I believe what you're telling me right now.
I really do. But I'm so sorry, Thomas.
This is the way it has to be.
Diana, you don't have to do this.
Happy anniversary.
-No!
Hey!
- Come on, buddy. You hear me?
- Hey, Thomas.
Call a medic.
They're on their way, man.
I never liked her anyway.
It's like I can still feel her presence.
Like she's still here even
though I know she's not.
You know, sometimes I wish
that it was me who died
and not her.
I'd like to think that
we were really in love
and it just wasn't revenge.
I guess we'll never know.
Actually, we do know.
It had to be revenge.
Oh, yeah? What makes you say that?
I just know.
We're gonna have our own
party and we are gonna eat up
all these cupcakes.
Ready?
Why are you doing this?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I've never
witnessed falling in love
We never let nothing come between us
Gotta keep up the pace,
babe, they're rooting for us
If we gotta have anything,
we gotta have trust
Even when they don't want
us to be, we gotta keep on
K eep on falling in love
Oh, we gotta keep on,
keep on falling in love
We gotta keep on
You know, we gotta
keep on falling in love
Oh
Even if we don't get along
W e gotta keep going strong
We just cannot, can't
let it break us apart
Oh, I've fallen in love with you
I never could get enough of you
Oh!
Help!
Help!
Here. I...
you always do this wrong.
Let me help you.
You know I always tie it wrong
so that you could help me, right?
Oh, really?
So is this your way of
getting me close to you?
Maybe.
Well.
You know, I cannot believe
that you weren't gonna wear
a regular tie to our wedding.
I forgot to turn your neck down, baby.
Now you're turning it down now.
Kind of.
-Yeah.
And I'm glad you made me
wear bowtie because...
What?
I want you to help me tie it.
Oh, you... no.
Stop.
Baby.
Can you believe we've
been married a whole year?
Well, I can't say it's been easy.
Anything worth having is
worth fighting for, right?
Right.
And we made it.
And I couldn't be happier.
Me neither.
Now come here, I got something for you.
Come on. What?
Come on.
Over here.
I want you to sit right there.
Baby, wait. No.
I told you. I didn't want anything.
I just wanted me, you,
and dinner.
-Dinner.
I know we agreed to no gifts,
but I couldn't resist.
Especially after seeing your face
looking at that window when
we was out the other day.
Oh, baby.
No.
No, you did not get me
that bracelet I wanted.
I sure did.
Happy anniversary, baby.
Oh, my gosh, Henry.
I'm not gonna lie.
I got you something too.
Wait. Baby, we...
Shh. Ah. Just...
- What is it?
Sit right here, close your eyes.
Close my eyes?
And get ready for a big surprise.
- Baby, what did you get me?
- Shh.
You know you didn't
have to get me anything.
You're always trying to one-up me.
- This better be good.
Henry, open your eyes.
Happy anniversary!
This is how you remember me.
Do you remember?
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying
"I love you"
I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
Here's my beautiful queen.
-Thank you...
Hey, babe.
-Hey, baby, baby.
Stop. Wait. Your mom's looking.
Wow.
Your mother's dress really worked.
You are the most beautiful in the room.
Well, you know, I had to keep
my promise to her, you know?
God rest her soul.
Yeah.
-We're here today.
Get a room.
Oh.
Hi, son.
Well, hello, Mrs. Bridesmaid.
Wow, you look younger than
half the women in this room.
Thank you. I know.
Sam.
-Yes.
You're the best thing that
ever happened to my Henry.
And I just wanna make sure
that you take care of him
just like I did before you.
You mean this, Ms.
Debbie, thank you so much.
I appreciate that.
And I know that I have some
really big shoes to fill,
Mrs. Majors.
But as the next Mrs. Majors,
I think I'm up for the task.
I think you are too.
And you.
You better take care of this woman.
It ain't every day that you get so blessed.
Son, treat her like the queen she is, okay?
You know I will, Mother.
You know he's got that in the bag.
- This is so beautiful.
Oh. I'm so happy.
-You made the king.
Look at this.
Ashley, what are you doing here?
Oh, I just came to support an old friend.
I heard you were off the
market so I had to come see
who the lucky lady was.
Ashley Echo.
Oh, as in Echo Motors?
Uh-hmm. I see you know your stuff.
Yes, well, don't think
I didn't do my research
on all my competition before I had to, uh,
take this handsome man as
my lawfully wedded husband.
So nice to meet you.
Um, yes. Well, Mrs. Majors...
Yes.
-...Ms. Echo,
uh, I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
I'll be right back.
-Okay.
Okay.
Ashley.
-Uh-hmm.
Sit your ass down.
Jesus.
You know, it would have been
nice to know that you invited
your high school sweetheart to our wedding.
I mean, I just feel like a complete idiot.
Baby, I didn't even know she was coming.
She's not even a full
high school sweetheart.
Me and Ashley dated
back when we were, like,
juniors in high school.
-Hmm.
Yes, both of our parents do
a lot of business together
but that's it.
-Hmm.
I haven't spoken to her in years.
Well, it would've been nice
to know she was coming.
That's all I'm saying.
Please just enjoy the moment.
Sure.
How's your dinner?
Lovely.
Uh, I was wondering, uh,
what is it that you do again, Samantha?
Samantha runs her own business.
Baby, um, I'm an adult,
I think I can speak for myself here.
I'm the CEO and founder
of my own commercial marketing company.
Do people even use commercial
marketing companies anymore?
I mean, everything is
social media based now.
Apparently so.
I mean, my company is a
multimillion dollar company.
Well, Echo Motors just this past year
reached our billion dollar mark.
Hmm.
-We just started
building airplane engines.
Hmm, is that why there's been
so many plane crashes?
Ladies, can we please put the claws away
and just enjoy dinner?
I'm enjoying it.
How about that?
Have a nice day.
-Sure.
Oh, whoa, come on...
Everyone, let's give it up for Mr. And Mrs.
Henry Majors!
Oh, whoa, come on
I think it's time we do it again
Do it again
One time for the one
time swingin' my way
Two times gonna fly, my
friends will throw bass
Uh-huh, it's a good time
Everybody know your game in my hood now
Oh, in the first night
Oh, you're my bad bae
Oh, no waiting on the weekend
Now it's going down
Girl, don't you miss me?
Don't you miss me?
Going for the same way
I know, it's been a long time
So let's get you back to my place
Oh, whoa, come on
I think it's time we do it again
Do it again
Baby, where you going?
Baby. Baby.
Baby.
At least let me help you.
Why don't you go help Ashley?
At least I told you about her.
You didn't have to hear
about her from somebody else.
Oh, and you think that's
supposed to make it better
because you told me?
I'm sorry.
Why?
Out of all the people
in the world, why her?
I don't know. Look, what
do you want me to say?
I don't want you to say anything.
If you wanna go be with Ashley,
the high school sweetheart,
then go be with her.
That's the problem.
I don't wanna be with her.
She was a mistake.
I wanna be with you.
-Bullshit.
Baby, please.
I promise I won't do it again.
I just don't know if I
can trust you anymore.
Sam.
Come on, Sam. Don't do this.
What can I do to make you believe me?
Nothing.
Sam! Sam!
You have one minute.
Thanks for coming, Sam.
I didn't think you would.
Just say what you have to say, Henry.
Look, I'm sorry.
I should've never disrespected
our marriage the way I did.
I don't know what came over me.
And as foolish as it may sound,
I never meant to hurt you.
But you did.
And a cheat is a cheat.
I just feel so betrayed.
I know. And I'm sorry.
I promise I'll spend the rest
of my life making it up to you.
That's if you'll take me back.
I just... I don't know.
I just...
I need time to process and to think.
But if I do take you back, say yes,
you better never hurt me
again or I'll kill you.
Okay. Damn.
I love you.
I love you too.
Happy anniversary.
This is so you remember me.
Do you remember?
I want to see you again
Oh, oh
Hey, Percy, it's Summer. Is Pam there?
So make sure you write that down.
And then by Monday, I need to know
where that client is.
- Pamela?
Yes.
-Summer is on the phone.
Thanks, I'll take that in my office.
All right, ladies, I need the mortgage
property values before lunch, okay?
Thank you.
What's up, girl?
Girl, I need the plans on that house ASAP.
I cannot allow this client to pull out.
You need to allow him to pull out
so that you don't get pregnant.
Girl, why do you always
have to be so nasty?
And you do realize there's other ways
I'm not getting pregnant.
You do realize that, right?
True. And yes, I'm always nasty.
Oh, girl. I am just so
nervous about this wedding.
I just want it to be perfect.
And it will be, Summer, okay?
Don't worry.
- Okay, girl.
I gotta get out of here.
Um, my clients are here.
I'll call you later.
-Love you.
Okay. Bye.
-Bye.
Okay.
Hello, hello, hello.
Mr. and Mrs. Medows, I'm Summer.
Welcome. You guys come right this way.
I cannot wait to show you this house.
When I say the plans are gorgeous,
I mean gorgeous, very well thought out.
- Oh, you know what?
Can you excuse me for one second?
Uh, you guys go right on in, take a look.
Um, there's some water, some snacks.
I'll be right there.
Hey, babe.
How is the most beautiful woman I know?
Well, how many beautiful women do you know?
I'm actually, um, showing
the Mitchell's house today.
Oh, okay.
I actually got done showing my last home.
Hmm. So you'll beat me home?
- Yes.
And I will have your dinner waiting for you
when you get home, my queen.
So that means take out?
Hey, at least you get to eat.
Oh, babe, I'm just so
nervous about the wedding.
I really just want it to be
exactly as we planned it.
You don't think we're
rushing into it, do you?
Hey, no, no, no, don't say that.
We are in love, okay?
I knew it at the moment I
laid eyes on you at that bar.
No. What if... what if it doesn't work?
It will. Trust me.
We are going to make this work.
It is me and you, baby.
Forever and ever, babe.
Forever.
Okay. I'll call you back.
Bye.
All right.
Oh, oh
Woo, woo
You look great, son.
Dad, thank you.
I love you, but can we please
skip all the mushy mush, okay?
I'm trying to get married here.
I'm sorry, son.
But your mother would be so proud.
Dad, please.
Come on, trying to make me cry.
Okay. Here we go.
Ring, please.
-Yeah.
Do you, Emit Anderson,
take this lovely woman, Summer Johnson,
for your lawful wedded
wife, to have and to hold,
for better or worse, for richer or poorer,
so help you?
Oh, I definitely do.
Now your ring.
And you, Summer Johnson,
take this wonderful man,
Emit Anderson, for your
lawful wedded husband,
to have and to hold, for better or worse,
for richer or poorer, so help you?
You know I do.
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
You may kiss the bride.
We did it.
We did it. We married.
You're right.
Because I ain't gonna let Jesus
or any other man take the wheel.
Ooh.
-Okay.
Okay. -No, but for real, you guys.
Can I just please say one
thing right now, please?
Okay. This woman right here,
my friends, changed me, okay?
I used to be a player, right?
I used to be irresponsible, okay?
I was pretty much everything
that a man shouldn't be.
But then I came and met this one here.
Ooh, everything changed.
Mm-mm. And why don't you stop it?
Wait, no, Emit has always been
all the man I have ever needed, okay?
That's right.
I just had to upgrade him a little.
Oh, what?
No, no, no, upgrade me?
Upgrade me?
Y'all, this DJ is hitting.
Uh, turn the music down
a little bit, please.
I have something to say.
Congratulations you two.
Y'all make me wanna get married.
These two, they make you
wanna fall in love, y'all.
But I'm not about that love life.
Okay. Don't let her lie to y'all.
She wouldn't get married if
Jesus himself told her to.
You know what?
- No shade.
You're right. Jesus or
any man taking the wheel.
Okay.
My man is not even having
a bachelor party, okay?
I mean, how is the best man
supposed to be the best man
without giving a bachelor party?
No, but for real, when do you guys
gonna have little Emits and little Summers?
Girl, slow down, we have not even made it
to the honeymoon yet, right?
-Yeah. Jeez.
We just got married.
Look, I just wanna say, for the record,
that I am still mad at you.
Really?
-Why?
For not letting me give you
the proper bachelor party.
Me too, man.
- Oh, my God.
What? What? What? -Look,
look, look, me and wifey
wanted to keep things simple, you know.
We didn't need all that.
Besides, I got everything I need
in this woman right here all wrapped up.
Oh. Yeah. Minus the stripper poles.
Look, look, look, look.
-Stop it.
But look, on Saturday,
I'm going to the strip
club without him now.
You gotta take me too, man.
- Take, take... bring my dad.
- He'll like that, do that.
- You bring my dad.
- Do you wanna go?
Dad's going.
-There we go.
- There it is.
Dad's available.
But I'm gonna... I'm gonna go
ahead and do a little toast.
All right. -Careful. Careful now.
Oh, I'm still looking sharp though.
Okay. I just wanna...
Yeah. -I just wanna say this...
Say this to you, Emit.
I love you so much, brother.
I love you.
- I...
we known each other since college.
Now I ain't gonna tell you
what we got into, all right?
Hey. Shh.
-Okay?
No, but for real, man,
I'm glad you found your queen, bro.
I love y'all.
Now, Summer...
Uh-oh.
I don't know what you
did to tame this beast.
But whatever it is,
you enter our lives with
nothing but love and grace.
And for that, I love you.
Oh, Jake.
-I love you both.
We love you.
-Yes.
And I can't believe I'm saying this.
I'm actually happy you
guys found each other.
Okay. Hold on,
you ain't gonna upstage me
on the speeches.
I got something to say, okay?
So I can't wait for y'all
to get to that honeymoon
so Emit can get in there...
-Girl.
...because I know Summer...
Don't be...
had you wait till y'all was married.
Hell, yeah.
But like I always said,
everything good is worth
waiting for, right?
Thank you.
-Uh-hmm.
And I'm talking about that kitty cat.
Uh-hmm. Legendary, huh?
Hmm.
You know what... -I'm
so happy for you two.
- I'm just messing with you.
- I love you, guys.
We love you. We love you.
Let me go ahead.
Uh-oh, it's the speech wars.
I'll say something else.
Can everybody stand up, please?
Can everybody stand up?
To the bride and groom.
To the bride and groom.
Bride and groom.
-Cheers.
Cheers. Cheers.
Eye contact, everybody.
-Right?
Uh-huh. You know
what I want right now
Uh-huh. You know what I want right now
Uh-huh. You know what I want right now
I'm gonna fall in love
for real like that
You know that I love it
when you ride like that
Baby, fall in love when
they fall off track
Because everybody love it
when you do it like that
Tell me what I want right now
You know what I want right now
Tell me what I want right now
You know what I want right now
That's fine. I'm okay with that.
All right. Well, either way,
you know how much I love you, right?
Uh-hmm. Actually, I don't.
But I love it when you tell me.
Uh-hmm.
You know how much my mom meant to me.
You are right at that level, if not above.
I know. I know your mom meant a lot to you.
I wish I could have met her.
She would loved you just as much as I do.
Trust me.
Look, look, look, put it like this.
If you take the Earth, you quadruple that
and you times that by infinity,
that's how much I love you.
That's it?
-Oh, whatever woman.
Damn. I should have said
infinity times infinity.
Exactly.
I might have been with you.
Uh-oh.
Oh, I cannot wait
until I give you your gift tomorrow night.
Baby, what? No.
-What?
No, I told you don't get me anything
because you are the gift.
Look, it's our first anniversary
and I wanted to make sure I
got you something special.
Well, now I feel bad because
I didn't get you anything.
It doesn't matter.
I still love you anyway.
Okay?
Okay. How about this?
-What?
How about I prepare a
beautiful dinner for us
tomorrow night here at the house,
just me and you?
-Ooh, okay.
Well, in that case,
I'mma need some of that salmon.
-Okay.
And that broccolini that you make.
Ooh.
-Super fire.
All right.
I think I can do that.
Oh, you think so?
-Yeah.
You think so?
Okay.
Hey, I love you so much.
I love you too.
Yeah, oh
I'm in here, baby.
Baby, I'm in here.
Hmm. Damn, it smells bomb up in here.
How was your day?
Better now that I'm home. Hmm.
Hmm. Well, I'm glad you feel that way
because your whole world
is about to change.
Man, the food that bomb?
You talking like life-altering dinner here?
Life-altering. Go sit down.
Okay.
Baby, you are a king,
and you should be treated that way.
Okay.
-Uh-hmm.
I mean, the way you got this all laid out,
it makes me wish it was
our anniversary every day.
Oh, baby.
This is just the beginning.
Now eat your food.
Hmm.
-Hmm, guess what?
What?
I have one more surprise for you.
Really?
-That's right.
Just sit right here.
-Right.
Hold up, before you do that,
happy anniversary.
Oh, baby, you shouldn't have.
You got the one with the gun on it.
Uh-hmm. I mean, I knew
you really wanted it.
This is literally all
you been talking about.
So I wanna make sure I got it for you.
Uh-hmm. Wow.
I love you so much.
I love you too, baby.
I'll be right back, okay?
Okay.
-Okay.
Sit right down.
Got another surprise for you.
Okay.
Hmm.
Baby, this steak is to die for.
Exactly.
Damn!
Summer, what the hell
is wrong with you, huh?
Nothing.
Damn it!
Give me my...
what the...
Oh, man. Get up.
Get your ass up.
I said get your ass up!
Where are you going?
Would you look at this?
Get up.
Why are you doing this?
Why do people do things, Emit?
I don't know.
Some people do it for fun,
others may think it's funny
to make fun of other's insecurities.
Hey, Faith.
- Oh.
Hey, Mom.
You don't have to hide from me.
Mom, why doesn't anyone wanna be my friend?
Oh, that's not true, baby.
I wanna be your friend.
Yeah, but you're my mom.
You have to be my friend.
Listen to me, baby.
I'm your friend because I love you.
No matter what.
And I always will.
I love you too.
You know what?
We're gonna have our own party
and we are gonna eat up all these cupcakes.
Ready?
Hey, Faith.
- Oh.
Hey, Faith... I mean, Thomas.
You could call me Tommy.
Okay.
I heard you were throwing a party today.
Yeah.
That nobody showed up to.
Stop laughing, idiots.
You're gonna give it away.
Well, do you wanna see something?
Um, sure.
Follow us. Come on.
Yup, stand up.
Stand up.
You know, I would put
you out of your misery
and end it all for you right now
just so you wouldn't have to suffer.
But then I'd be doing you a favor
and I wanna see you suffer, so...
happy anniversary, baby.
"Thomas Stevens running for mayor."
Oh, yeah?
Hmm, hmm, hmm.
I'm coming for you, Thomas.
Come on, walk next to me, Faith.
Give me my bag.
Yo.
Here we are. Right here is the spot.
I mean, okay, it's a tree.
What's the big deal?
You think you can climb to the top?
What? No way.
It's way too tall. I'd fall.
No, it isn't.
Me and the boys climb
this tree all the time.
Yeah.
-Yeah.
Don't you wanna be friends?
I mean, yeah, but I don't
wanna get hurt either.
Don't be scared.
We're right here with you.
Do you trust me?
Yeah.
-Okay then.
Come on.
I wanna let you know that
this isn't only a win for me.
This is a win for you as well.
That's right.
So let our city be the same.
Gathered together in harmony.
And I assure you as your new mayor
that we will bring change
to this very community.
Oh, my God.
Cover up. Cover up, please
Someone call 911, please.
Help! Help!
Fifty-Charley, I have an 11-25
License...
Call 911.
Do you copy, say again?
Well, there's no secret.
That debate was a complete
and total disaster.
I mean, come on. Kelly killed us
and we didn't even have a
response for his shenanigans.
So instead of looking stupid,
let's throw some stuff
on the board and see what sticks.
You got your ass handed
to you because you weren't
the same confident, swagged
it out brother we all know.
The man we wanted to vote for.
Tell us, man. What's wrong?
Nothing wrong with me, Sean.
You're only as good as your team.
So let's pick this up
or you all don't want me
to be the next mayor of Los Angeles?
Thomas, I don't feel well.
Baby, you're probably dehydrated.
You've been going hard for
the last couple of days.
I'll get you some water.
Katie, can you get her some water, please?
Thank you.
So come on.
What are we gonna do?
Huh?
Other than Sean here,
who else thinks we should
just throw in the towel
or do we continue and forge forward?
Thomas? -Baby, she's going to get
the water right now.
I need you to call the councilman...
Baby!
Baby, baby. Call 911.
Oh, my God, she's not breathing.
She's not breathing.
-Sure.
She's not breathing. Hurry up!
Baby, baby, baby, baby, wake up.
Come on, baby. Stay with me.
Stay with me, baby.
Dr. Sherman, OBG-1.
Dr. Sherman, OBG-1.
You're gonna make it, baby.
You hear me?
You got to make it, baby.
Dr. Flores, dial 118 please.
Dr. Flores, dial 118.
You need to use this.
This pain,
this realness,
let people see the real you.
Who the hell are you?
How did you get in here?
I'm Diana Mitchell.
I'm a reporter from the Capitol.
I'm not here for a story, Mr. Stevens.
You need to leave.
You need to leave now.
Listen, my best friend is your wife's RN.
And Shelly's been in and out of
the hospital and no one knows
that she's dying of stage
four lymphoma cancer.
And no one will if that's what you want.
But as a journalist and a woman who knows
her politics very well,
I know you're losing.
And your chances for
mayor are slim to none.
But this is real life.
People like real life.
Hiding your true life is exactly
what's gonna make you lose.
But if you show the world
that you're battling too,
that you're a person too
and you're not perfect,
then...
people will feel like they can
vote for someone that's like them.
Trust me.
This is exactly what you need
to become Los Angeles' new mayor.
Thomas. Sorry, man. No one
knew she was even here.
She got through security. Let's go.
It's fine, Sean.
It's fine. I got it.
Sure?
Yeah.
Dr.
Ms. or is it Mrs.?
Um, Ms. Definitely not a Mrs. yet.
Well, Ms. Mitchell,
you brought up some very valid points.
I could use someone like you on my team.
How would you like to quit that job down
at the Capitol and help run my campaign?
I would love that.
Welcome aboard.
I'll, um, leave you to it.
Social Worker to Room 102.
Social Worker to Room 102.
You don't even know this woman!
I know what she's capable of.
And from what I hear, she
has quite the reputation.
Brother, she knows politicians
better than politicians know themselves.
She's out there with those
voters on the streets.
That's what gives her the edge.
That is what we're missing.
That is what we need.
And that is what's gonna
get me elected mayor.
I've been with you for the last four years.
We made it this far together, you and I.
So, you're gonna have to choose.
If she stays, I'm gone.
Sean, you have taken me as far as you can,
and I appreciate you.
But I'm grown, my brother, and
I guess you can't grow with me.
What makes you so sure you
can have that with her?
Have you seen the numbers?
I'm up in the votes 70%.
Oh.
-You hear me? 70%.
I'm killing Kelly by a landslide,
and that's all because
she gave me that one piece
of advice about going public
with my wife's sickness.
Exactly, one piece of advice.
That's what we needed to swing.
What? You and the team weren't
coming up with anything.
Oh.
I was drowning,
committing political suicide,
and you were right there with me.
Thomas, this is nonsense and you know it.
Are you hitting that?
You are.
You're hitting that.
You've got to be kidding me, man.
I mean, you wanna risk your
entire political career
for a piece of...
this ain't you, man. This ain't you.
What I do with my private
life is no concern to you.
It does when you could ruin your career.
My wife is dying.
You understand that?
Dying,
hooked up to machines
that are keeping her alive
for the past couple weeks.
She doesn't know me. She
doesn't even know herself.
My marriage is dead
and so was my career until
she came into my life.
So, excuse me if I don't
agree with your theory.
And for your information,
I'm not screwing her.
I never thought I'd see the day
when you choose hoes over bros.
Things change, Sean.
Now if you're with me, then you're with me.
But if you're against
me, you're against me.
But honestly, that woman has made me
the happiest I've been in years.
And if you can't see that, then...
I guess you were never by
my side in the first place.
I, uh, guess you heard that?
Not everything but enough.
Yeah.
Sorry you had to hear that.
Sean's been with me for a while.
Listen, I'm not trying to ruffle
any feathers or change things.
I just had a few ideas that I
thought I could help out with.
I'm not trying to come
between you and your friend.
It's not your fault.
Sean and I have been at odds for a while.
His departure was coming.
Maybe you just gave me a
little push that I needed.
Thank you.
For what?
For making me Los Angeles' next mayor.
Do you remember me, Thomas?
Do you remember me?
Go ahead, Faith. Climb up.
I already told you, I'm
not climbing anything.
I'm too heavy.
Too heavy is right.
Too heavy for this?
Oh, my God.
What the hell?
Please don't hurt me.
Tommy said climb your fat ass up that tree.
So do it now before I shoot you.
Actually, my brother, that's my job.
What are we...
- You sure it's not loaded?
- Relax, bro.
- It's not loaded, bro.
- All right.
Why are you guys doing this?
This isn't funny.
It isn't funny?
It's funny to us.
Go, climb, go!
Diana, would you sit down?
You're making me nervous.
I'm making you nervous?
- Yes.
You're only up in the
polls by five percent,
which could swing it any
moment, which also means
you could be down at any moment.
And since I am now your campaign manager
and you fired Sean, I can't help it then.
I'm just a little bit nervous.
-Diana...
come.
Have a seat.
Okay.
You want a drink?
Hmm, dry scotch on the rocks if you got it.
Okay.
A woman who knows what she likes,
but, unfortunately, all I have is tequila.
Hmm, I'm okay.
You know, when I'm appointed mayor,
I'm getting rid of all
this tacky-ass furniture.
I mean, get something a little
bit more mayoral, you know?
Hmm.
-Something with a nice
gloss finish.
Mayoral.
-Mayoral.
Drink.
-I don't. I actually...
I don't and I haven't in a very long time.
Okay.
But when was the last time
you were a campaign manager
for a man who's running for mayor who's up
five percent when he could be down?
Touch.
One drink.
-One drink.
Cheers.
-Cheers.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Ooh.
Oh, my gosh. -Is it biting a little bit?
Yeah. Yeah.
- I can't believe you did that.
That's crazy.
-To this day,
I still cannot believe I did that.
I had no clothes. And I
didn't even have a ride home.
And...
-You're tripping.
I know. I know.
-You're tripping.
I told myself I would
never trust a man again.
And nor should you.
-That's right.
I wouldn't either.
I mean, you could trust me.
Hmm.
-Hmm.
How do I know that?
Um, wait.
I am sorry.
I'm so sorry.
As much as I want to, um, you're married.
I'm sorry, Thomas. I just... I can't.
Uh, I'm sorry.
Yeah, it's okay.
I... No, I get it.
Maybe I had too much to drink.
Yeah. Probably.
Um, I actually think maybe
I should... I should go.
Um, I can take that.
-Okay.
Um, I can walk you to the door.
Oh, no, no, no. There's no need.
I'm just gonna get my stuff 'cause I...
yeah, I have my stuff.
It's just right there.
I can call you an Uber
'cause we're drinking.
Yes. I wanna be just like...
Responsible.
- Yeah.
Right. Right.
- Yup.
It's okay. I... I'm good.
I'm just, you know...
yeah.
Um...
it's...
I'm just gonna get my stuff.
Okay.
Yup, it's right here.
So I have your vote, right?
Excellent. Excellent.
Uh-hmm.
I appreciate it. Thank you.
We look forward to your vote.
Yes.
Okay.
Um, can I call you right back?
Okay.
Diana, what are you doing?
You don't have to do this.
I do.
Look, I'm not a home-wrecker, Thomas.
Look, I'm good at my job, yes.
But when my feelings
get in between that job,
that's my exit. I'm sorry.
Diana, sit down.
I can't.
-Sit!
Now when I started this campaign,
I wanted to make change in
this great city that made me.
I wanted to be the mayor
that this city needed.
Not only the mayor but
the man this city needed.
Then Shelly got sick...
and my world was crushed.
I didn't know who I was
or what I wanted anymore.
Why are you telling me this?
Because I met you.
Everything started to make sense.
Look, if you wanna leave,
I can't stop you.
But you gotta understand, I'm gonna win.
And not only am I gonna win
for myself, I'm gonna win
for that little boy who dreamed big.
I'm gonna win for my wife.
And I'm gonna win for you if you stay.
You help me find that man that was missing.
And, honestly...
I don't know if that man is gonna
still be here if you leave.
What are you saying?
I'm saying I can't finish this without you.
And if you're out, then I'm out.
Thomas, no. No, you can't pull out now.
You've come too far.
-No.
No. You're too close.
No.
We're too close.
I don't know what to say.
Don't say anything.
Just stay.
Come on now. Let's finish this together.
And if you wanna leave
after the campaign is over,
then you have my support.
I already lost Shelly.
Don't make me lose you too.
You're not gonna lose me too.
I'm...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
-No, no.
It's...
it's fine.
I'm sorry. I don't...
I don't know what came over.
Good morning.
Good morning.
How'd you sleep?
On this little couch?
-Uh-hmm.
Better than a king-size mattress.
Hmm.
-Slept like a baby.
How are the numbers?
You're up by 15%. Yeah.
I know it's a long stretch
but you're looking really good right now.
And if the president vouches for you,
you are definitely gonna win.
Sounds good.
-Uh-hmm.
So about yesterday,
I just first wanted to
apologize for my actions.
There's no need to apologize.
We're both adults.
Things happen, right?
Right.
-Yeah.
Okay. Hmm.
Well, I thought about what
you said and you're right.
We're in this together.
But from now on, we are gonna keep things
strictly professional.
Strictly professional.
All right.
Thank you, Ms. Mitchell.
Yeah. You're welcome.
Dr. Sherman, please call 221.
Dr. Sherman, call 221.
Hey.
- Hey.
Mr. Stevens, there is nothing
more we can do for her.
All of her major organs have failed.
Her brain is unresponsive.
What does that mean? I mean, come on.
Now you... there's gotta
be something you can do.
The machines
are breathing for her.
It's just a matter of time.
How long?
How long?
A few hours tops, Mr. Stevens.
I'm so sorry.
We have done all we can.
Um, thank you all for coming.
It's...
it's a sad day in the Stevens household.
My wife of three years, Shelly Stevens,
left us yesterday.
She was my biggest supporter,
my biggest cheerleader.
I'm gonna miss her dearly.
Um...
thank you all for your
support and your prayers.
Thank you.
Um, no questions at this time please.
Thank you.
So what happened?
- About that?
- Uh-hmm.
A little accident when I was younger.
Yeah, well, they say
every scar has its story,
so what's that one?
You know what?
No one even knows this
story, not even my wife,
but I'll tell you.
What makes me so special?
It's just something rare about you.
You feel like home.
I can trust you.
When I was 13, my friends and
I did something really stupid.
Get her.
Don't know why I didn't stop.
I kept going.
The entire time I knew it was wrong.
I don't know.
Maybe I was trying to impress my friends.
It was weird.
So that's how I got the scar.
I got hit in the head with
a rock, rightfully so.
Hmm.
This scar reminds me of who I was,
who I never wanna be again.
It changed me.
So what happened to your friends?
Who knows?
I haven't seen or heard from those guys
since it happened.
For all I know, they could be dead.
Did they ever find the girl?
No.
I tell myself she's in a better place,
somewhere safe.
But sometimes I feel like she haunts me.
Like she's just always there, watching me.
You can probably see why I
don't talk about it much.
It is a very tragic story.
I bet I look different to you now, huh?
No.
I think that any man that can
go through what you went through
and make it out to be
the person you are today,
it's beautiful.
Okay.
All right.
Since we're playing show and tell,
what's the story with that
bullet hole in your chest?
Well, mine is the wrong
place at the wrong time.
Hmm.
Yeah, my ex-boyfriend, he was a drug dealer
and at the time, I didn't know it.
So he asked me to take a ride with him,
you know, to just drop something off.
And we pulled up
and then when he got out of the car,
that's when I heard the first gunshot.
And that's... that's the
last thing I remember.
I woke in the hospital the next day
and they told me he had been murdered
and I was lucky to be alive.
Crazy story.
Yeah, but I think yours
got me beat by a landslide.
Oh, you think this scar is something?
You see this one? -Uh-hmm. Uh-hmm.
Let me see. -Fourth grade monkey bars.
Okay. Ooh, we all got a monkey bar scar.
Monkey bars.
I... I guess we both have scars.
Yeah.
Good morning, Mr. Mayor.
Not yet, but
I like the sound of it.
Maybe we just shouldn't have done this.
Uh-uh, uh-uh.
We're not doing that.
We had a connection and a moment.
Come on. Tell me I'm not
the one feeling that.
You're not.
Listen, I've never felt more alive
since the day I met you.
It's like something in me was missing,
then you came in and filled it.
It's like I've known you my entire life.
I feel it too, Thomas.
Marry me.
What?
Are you serious?
I've never been more serious in my life.
I wanna spend the rest of my days with you.
But what about your campaign?
What about your career?
You have done nothing but enhance my life
and my career since the moment I met you.
Every decision, every choice,
every word that you spoke to
me has all been for the better.
So why stop now?
Yes.
- Yes?
Yes.
-Yes.
Yes. See? - Yes, I'll marry you.
Are you sure?
- Yes, Mrs. Stevens.
I love it. I love it. I love it.
Yes. Yes. Yeah.
We've gathered here today to
celebrate the life and love
of Thomas Stevens and Diana Mitchell.
You know what, Faith?
You should really learn your manners.
No.
-See, I'm trying to be cool
with you and you wanna
hit me or something...
my head with a rock?
You see what you did to me?
-I'm sorry.
I was trying to be your friend!
Now we can be blood related.
Henry. - Yeah, Tommy?
No.
You ever did target practice
on live bait before?
I don't think I have, Tommy.
What you getting at, bro?
No. Sorry. Please. Why are you doing this?
What y'all think?
You think I can hit her?
Sure can.
- You sure it ain't loaded, Emit?
- Relax, Henry.
It's not loaded.
I just don't wanna get in trouble.
Please don't.
Emit, count me down.
Three, two...
- Please don't.
- ... one.
I, Thomas Stevens...
I, Thomas Stevens.
Take you, Diana Mitchell...
Take you, Diana Mitchell.
... to be my
lawfully wedded wife...
To be my lawfully wedded wife.
... to have and to hold...
To have and to hold.
For richer or poorer...

Yes. - Repeat after me.

By the powers vested in me,
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
Thomas, you may kiss your bride.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Stevens,
ladies and gentlemen.
You are not supposed to go out like this.
This is not the plan.
You can't leave me like this.
You hear me?
Do you hear me?
What?
What is... what is wrong with you?
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
What is wrong with you?
You said the gun wasn't loaded?
I checked before...
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Emit, what is wrong with you?
My dad never loads this gun.
The gun was loaded and you knew it!
I didn't.
Oh, my God. Oh, my.
Oh, my God. Faith. Oh, my.
I'm sorry.
-You're not sorry.
You knew the gun was loaded.
It's your fault.
I didn't mean to kill her.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
I told you guys this was stupid.
We should have never
done this stupid prank.
No.
What the hell are we gonna do?
Oh, my God.
We gotta call 911 and
get her to a hospital.
Are you crazy?
I'm not going to jail for this.
What do you mean going to jail?
We're not gonna go to jail.
And my father's the DA.
She's bleeding out. She's...
I think she's dead.
No DA can cover up no dead body.
Let's leave her here and we'll
act like we were never here.
No one will ever know.
Are you dumb?
That's the dumbest thing I ever heard.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
I think Henry's right.
We should cover her up and leave her.
Well, what about the gun?
I'll take the gun.
I'll clean it and I'll
put it where it belongs.
I see my dad do it all the time.
Okay. Okay.
Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go.
Tommy, come on. Let's go.
Hello?
Hello?
Hey, hey, hey! Are you okay?
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Okay. You're okay.
You're okay. You're okay. Come on. Come on.
Let's get you to a hospital, all right?
Okay? All right. Let's go.
Okay. Okay. You're okay.
to ICU.
Please proceed to ICU.
Three, two, one.
Do you remember me now?
I'm the one who's supposed to kill you.
Just like Henry. Just like Emit.
This is not how it's supposed to go.
You have to make it through this, Thomas.
Do you hear me?
You have to make it through.
Because if you don't,
then that means my plan will have failed
and I am not going to fail.
That's how you feel
Go there if that's how you feel
Flexing on you, I got a reason
Look, now you got amnesia
Longing about distant days
I'm the only one who ain't changed
Flexing on you, I got a reason
Flexing on you, I got a reason
Shawty, I'm a wreck right now
Right now
Shawty, I'm a wreck right now
Back for the chance, When I pull up
Yo
'Cause everything
changed with you
Hey
Tell me she had
the pieces, had to sew it up
Tell me she had the
pieces, had to sew it up
I believed in you
I thought I knew my shawty pretty well
I was sleeping
I was sleeping, oh
So tell me,
Thomas, how are you feeling?
Well, as you know, the
accident was three months ago.
I don't remember everything,
just little pieces,
like broken memories from my childhood.
Oh, and I remember my wife.
Which one?
- Diana.
So you don't
remember your first wife?
No.
I know she passed away and
I know I should feel sad
because, you know, death is sad,
but I don't remember her, no.
Tell me
about your broken memories.
It's like I wanna remember
but my mind won't let me.
Hmm.
Often times when something
traumatic happens to us,
our mind will shut down our memories
to protect us from our thoughts.
You think I'll ever get my memory back?
Only time will tell.
Often times our memories
are jogged by something,
experiences that remind us.
Be patient, Mr. Mayor.
I'm sure they'll come back in time.
Thank you, Doctor. - Thank you.
Good afternoon,
great citizens of Los Angeles.
This is the first time I have addressed
the general public
since the attempted
assassination on my life
three months ago.
But let me be clear.
Nothing, and I do mean nothing,
not even a bullet is going to stop me
from cleaning up these streets.
I'd like to thank the doctors
at Riley Center Hospital
for rehabilitating me and
getting me back on my feet.
I'd like to thank my entire team and staff
for holding me down while
I was in this trying time.
I'd like to thank you,
the people of Los Angeles,
for not giving up on me and
keeping me as your Mayor.
Last by not least, I'd
like to thank my wife,
Diana Stevens,
who sat there by my bedside
while I was nursed back to health.
Today is actually our one year anniversary.
And let me tell you, it has
been one hell of a year.
In closing, I'd like
to leave you all with this.
Cherish the moments that you have
with this life that you were given
because one minute you can
be partying with friends,
hanging out with family,
and the next minute
you can be in the hospital
fighting for your life.
Cherish those who love
you and those you love
because you never know
when it's gonna be your last moments.
Thank you.
God bless Los Angeles
and God bless America.
I'll see you soon.
Hey, you.
-Hi.
What's all this?
What do you think? Do you like it?
I... I love it.
But why here?
We'll get to that. But did you get my gift?
You know I did.
Happy anniversary.
You really don't remember, do you?
This place is about four blocks
from the house I grew up in.
This is where you and I began.
What are you talking about?
Oh, come on now, Tommy.
You really don't remember
your past, just a little bit?
You know, after the incident,
my memory was kinda shot, so no.
Well, that's why we're
here, to help you remember.
Because I never forgot!
Why the hell are you pointing a gun at me?
I'm your husband.
- Put the gun down.
-'Cause you took my life.
You, Henry Majors,
and Emit Anderson left me for dead.
I don't know what you're talking about,
but if you put the gun down,
you and I can talk this out.
Just put the gun down.
You're lying. You're lying, Thomas.
Tell the truth.
-I'm not lying.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Just put the...
-Tell the truth.
Tell the truth.
I know exactly who you are, Faith.
How long have you known?
I knew the day you walked
into the hospital room.
The first time I saw your face, I knew.
You know, there's some faces
that you just can't forget
no matter how much time has passed.
So I started doing some
digging and I found out
that Emit and Henry,
they were both murdered
on this exact date, March 13th, 1995.
It's crazy.
I knew you were coming.
I just sat and waited for you to show up.
And you did not disappoint.
Why?
'Cause I thought I could fix it.
And if I could fix it, I'd be forgiven.
I don't wanna kill you. Really, I don't.
Henry and Emit, I killed them with...
without a blink of the eye.
You, as I stand here right now
ready to pull this trigger,
I just... I can't.
That's because what you
and I have was real.
And if we can just put
the past in the past,
then maybe we can move
forward to our future.
Now, you know we
can't do that, Thomas.
Why not?
Why can't we be together?
Because I have to kill you.
I'm sorry.
That's the plan.
I have to stick to my plan.
You don't have to do this.
You don't get to tell me what I have to
and what I don't have to do!
I bled out for hours, for hours, Thomas,
waiting for somebody to help me.
I was still alive.
You never had to leave me alone.
No, Thomas, no.
I was a kid.
I was 13 years old. I panicked.
I didn't wanna go to jail.
If I've known what I know now,
I swear I would have never played
that dumb-ass prank on you.
What prank?
It was Emit's idea.
We were supposed to just
take you to the tree
and scare you with the gun and that's it.
None of us knew that the gun was loaded.
And then you hit me in
the head with the rock.
But still I... I swear to you
I never knew that gun was...
I believe what you're telling me right now.
I really do. But I'm so sorry, Thomas.
This is the way it has to be.
Diana, you don't have to do this.
Happy anniversary.
-No!
Hey!
- Come on, buddy. You hear me?
- Hey, Thomas.
Call a medic.
They're on their way, man.
I never liked her anyway.
It's like I can still feel her presence.
Like she's still here even
though I know she's not.
You know, sometimes I wish
that it was me who died
and not her.
I'd like to think that
we were really in love
and it just wasn't revenge.
I guess we'll never know.
Actually, we do know.
It had to be revenge.
Oh, yeah? What makes you say that?
I just know.
We're gonna have our own
party and we are gonna eat up
all these cupcakes.
Ready?
Why are you doing this?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I've never
witnessed falling in love
We never let nothing come between us
Gotta keep up the pace,
babe, they're rooting for us
If we gotta have anything,
we gotta have trust
Even when they don't want
us to be, we gotta keep on
K eep on falling in love
Oh, we gotta keep on,
keep on falling in love
We gotta keep on
You know, we gotta
keep on falling in love
Oh
Even if we don't get along
W e gotta keep going strong
We just cannot, can't
let it break us apart
Oh, I've fallen in love with you
I never could get enough of you
