(doctor speaking softly)
- We can only save one.
(gentle brooding music)
(Naomi breaths heavily)
- Babe, what is it?
- Where's, where's our child?
Where's my baby?
- Naomi, listen,
it was an accident, all right,
an accident, you had
to remember.
(Naomi sighs)
- Hey babe, are you,
are you still dropping
off lunch for Jill and I?
Papa's roast beef is the
highlight of our weekend.
- I already told you yes,
all right?
And look, you know, just
because they made me detective
with Emmet doesn't
mean the brass is
gonna let me see any
action, you know that right?
- I know baby. I know.
- Okay, look, we've been
over this, all right.
I told you I was going back
to active duty, all right.
And I'm going to be
extra careful,
Emmet's gonna be right there
with me every step of the way,
all right?
- You right, beau.
I just...
I don't wanna lose you.
- You not, all right, and
I'm sorry, Nay,
and I tell you what I'm gonna
say about grabbing some pies
from Poppy's as well, all right.
Just promise me one thing,
do not let Jill get a slice.
She already act like Monique,
no need
for her to look like her too.
I'm serious.
- I love you Mr. Lawrence.
- And I love you too, Ms
Morning breath, Ms. Lawrence.
- Get outta here.
So say Emmet I said thank
you for the flowers.
- I definitely will,
definitely will.
I gotta get to work, okay.
- Mm-hm.
- Okay, call you later.
- All righty.
- All right.
(metallic clattering)
(gentle suspenseful music)
(door latch clicking)
(gentle suspenseful
music continues)
- Yeah, he's right there.
- [Isaiah] I see him.
- I'll be right back.
(door latch clicking)
- All right.
(door slamming)
(suspenseful music continues)
- Officer Fry, what brings
you here on this fine evening?
- Ah, cut the crap Ty,
you got it?
- Asked nicely the last time.
- 5K is missing.
- What?
- $5,000 of my money is
missing, you little shit.
Cool, cool off, nigger.
Hey, look, look, look,
I know you didn't pass
the ninth grade.
I know you a little remedial
and everything like that,
but I'm gonna need my money.
Look bro, the last time I
checked, last time I checked,
the full 22 was all in there,
bro.
Last time I looked, I
promise you.
So you're calling me a liar now,
right?
Nah, I never call you a liar.
I don't...
(fist pounding)
- Damn.
- I like you kid.
I mean dumb as a plank,
but you got good connections.
So I'm...
I'm gonna take this
as an alternative for that
5K, all right, see you round.
(Ty speaks softly)
- Done with that fool.
- Yeah, he really thought
he shorted me, man.
He probably would've
gave his mama up, man.
Hey yo, Naomi know
about all this?
- Hell no.
- Shit, that girl couldn't even
stand on back on the force.
She knew about the pain, man.
I wouldn't even see the
other side of my desk.
Maybe it's just the PTSD.
- Yeah PTSD, yo, you
know every other morning
I have to remind this
girl what we lost.
It's like I already gotta
treat you like that.
Fuck, you might as well
let me have my dream job.
- Hey man, you should be
really nice about that.
You sound dumb as
hell right now.
- Yeah, man, you right, it's
just, yo, I just miss us.
It's like who wasn't
meant to be together, bro?
It's like we was like the
black Romeo and Juliet,
you feel me?
- Nigger, they both
die at the end of that,
you know that, right.
- Word?
Damn, I don't know.
I guess that's what we
went wrong at.
All right, Shakespeare, ah.
- Whatever man.
- [Police Dispatch] For the
armed robbery this occurred,
77701 Austin, 770.
- Officer Fry responded,
we will patrol the area.
(tense suspenseful music)
- Yeah, look, I got one.
(car engine revving)
- [Isaiah] Hey, don't make
me chase you, mother fucker.
- [Emmet] Freeze.
- God damn, my mother
fucking knee,
I'm gonna that mother fucker.
(tense dramatic music)
(Emmet breathing heavily)
- You get him?
- Nah, the son of got away, man.
- God damn, fuck.
- Hey man, don't worry about it,
man.
I'll go put a bullo out right
back at the car, all right.
Let's just go get the
girl some food
before they end us worse
than that knee.
- All right, come help me, bro.
- Oh, shit.
- Kill that mother fucker.
(birds chirping)
(Julian sighs)
(knuckles wrapping)
- Good afternoon, you
lovely lady.
- Hey.
Hey Berna, what shaking?
- Oh girl, you know Kevin
Lake is being a pain again.
Hey Charles gonna have
his if he keeps flirting
with my new interns.
- I swear that man needs to
learn the meaning of consent.
He's like a chihuahua always
looking for something to hump.
- I mean, but let's get real.
Isn't that all, men,
I swear every man
I've ever dated
has either been trash or gay.
- I don't know about that,
Miss Naomi over here
seems to have a good one.
(Naomi sighs)
- Tell me, which street
corner do I have
to work at to find that?
- Mm-hm, oh yeah, he's fine,
yeah.
Big strong and beautiful eyes
and it's 30 minutes late
with my God damn lunch.
- You mean, our God damn lunch?
- Mm.
You better not be holding
my roast beef hostage
or I swear I'm gonna
make him look
like Freddy Kruger's
ugly stepsister.
Anyway, is there something
that you need, Ms. Hammond?
- I thought I told you to
call me Berna.
- Berna.
- But I just wanna let you know
I was able to get my own copy
or "Trap" so you can
keep the one I gave you.
- Really?
- [Berna] Mm-hm
- Thank you, that,
that's incredible.
You know, I was hesitant
at first honestly,
but after reading it myself,
I just found it so inspiring.
You know, "I have bloomed a
thousand times in my lifetime."
- "Even when your roots
were damaged."
And that was my
favorite quote too.
- Mm-hm
- Let me know if you need
anything else,
- Okay, will do.
- She really is something,
isn't she?
- Ooh, somebody's got a
little girl crush.
- What?
No, just the book she
recommended,
it was special.
(air whooshing)
(soft somber music)
(Naomi snuffling)
(knuckles rapping)
- Come in.
- Hi, Mrs. Lawrence.
- Oh, hi,
ah, are you a neighbor
doing their good deed
for the day or something?
- Oh no, although I am
glad chivalry isn't dead.
I'm your new manager at
Social Services.
Your husband let me in.
Oh, of course,
what are you doing here, if
you don't mind me asking?
- I just wanted to
meet with you.
I heard about the accident
and I wanted to offer you
my condolences
and possibly some hope.
- Hope?
(intense piano music)
- "Trapped."
- Trust me, that book helped
me in my time of need.
18 years ago, I went
through a major life crisis
and I ended up alone
and a lot of pain that
I could ever imagine.
Nothing anyone said to
me did for me.
It couldn't take away the pain.
I guess You just...
You learn to live with it.
- How, how can I live
with something like this?
How do I forgive myself?
I lost...
I lost my baby.
- You start by realizing that
what happened wasn't your fault.
And then you try to move forward
and when you can't do
it for yourself,
you do it for the man
you lean on.
- Okay.
- Okay.
(air whooshing)
- She just made the
darkness a little brighter.
- Wow, make way, Mother Teresa,
manager Berna coming through.
- It is not like that.
- Somebody's got a
little girl crush.
So tell me, on a scale
from puppy love to misery?
Girl, shut up.
(Julian laughs)
- Finally...
- Hey, baby.
- God, what-
- Sorry, I'm late.
I had a chase down a
suspect today.
- Oh my God, is your leg okay?
- I'm good, look, I gotta go,
all right.
I see you at the house.
- Okay.
- All right.
(Naomi whispering)
- Man, I need a man.
You need a therapist,
- A sexy therapist with tattoos.
(Julian sighs)
You just proved my point.
- What?
- Mm-hm.
Well, hello again, Isaiah.
- Hey Berna, how you doing?
- I'm better now that
you're here.
Do you mind stepping
into my office?
I have some security issues
that could use your expertise.
- Okay, cool.
(door latch clicking)
- You miss me?
- Honey, listen,
I still haven't talked
this through with Nay.
- So you want me to stop?
- I ain't say that.
It's just, you know,
the girl already been
through enough.
I can't put her through
no more pain.
- Okay, so no pain,
how about pleasure?
- What you mean?
- You remember what we
talked about?
(air whooshing)
(Isaiah moaning)
(doorbell ringing)
- God, soon as I'm about to
work out, better not be Emmet.
- Oh, okay.
- Hi.
- Hey, how you doing?
Good, how are you?
- Doing good
- Good to see you.
- You too.
- I just wanting to stop
by to see your wife.
Just wanna offer my condolences,
- Okay, she's upstairs
resting right now,
but you can head up.
- Okay.
- Ha, all right, Berna,
get this workout.
Six pack, here I come baby,
six pack.
- Can I ask how
you're holding up?
- Best way I can explain,
as soon as my leg heals,
I can get back to work.
(tense dramatic music)
- Well, can I...
Can I spot you, while
you're doing your sit up?
- That's nice of you, but my
partner was supposed to come
and help me, but seems
like he got tied up.
So kind of a one man
army right now.
- You partner?
- Yeah, Berna, forgot
I was a cop?
- I I I thought that
you were saying
that Naomi was coming down.
- Oh, oh no, she
doesn't normally help
with these sort of things,
so yeah, she would not
be joining us.
- Well, I like to help
people in a physical sense.
- Ah, aha, thank you.
- Love and opportunity
to show my appreciation
for the effort you've put in.
- Ah, Berna...
- Tell me you don't want this?
I, ah...
- It's not right how she
doesn't appreciate this.
- I, look, I cannot hurt
her like this, all right,
not like this.
- So don't, we can
make this work.
- How?
- You tell me, have you
ever heard of polyamory?
(air whooshing)
- I honestly don't see how
we could make this work
without hurting her.
- Okay, so bring her in,
- What?
- Invite her to this
night club tonight.
I promise you, by the
end of the night,
all three of us would
be in a bed together.
- So what made you decide to
wanna go to this club tonight?
- Hmm, It was recommended
to me by one of my cadets.
- Ha, oh, what? So we gotta
go to the cool kids club?
What's the matter? You
feeling old there, grandpa?
- Ha ha ha, at least my
gray hairs ain't showing.
How about that?
- I just covered tonight,
thank you very much.
- Okay, all right, truce, dang.
Well look, honestly,
I just wanted to have a
lovely night with you,
especially after missing lunch
with you this weekend, baby
- Yeah.
- Plus we deserve to
have a good night, huh?
This how I'm gonna be tonight.
I'm gonna be bouncing
with her like that.
- That's sweet baby, but we
really do need to hurry up
'cause Jillian will be
here any minute.
- I can't believe you
letting that girl drive.
(Naomi sighs)
- Be nice tonight, please.
- Fine, but look,
she better not play no
white pop trash in the way.
Can't believe that girl
sing along to Taylor Swift
after listening to, what is it?
Monk and Coltrane, Kaitrain.
I don't know, get on my nerve.
- I blame her exes, okay,
makes her existential.
- I know that's right.
- All right baby, come on,
we need to hurry up 'cause
she'll be here soon, okay.
- All right, looking good girl.
I do? thank you.
Huh, all right, see
you out there.
("Too Late" by Third Dimension)
Now it's too late
(people conversing loudly)
- Shit again?
Okay, I'll handle it.
I'm working on the angle,
now if all goes is planned,
then this problem should
go away, permanently.
Okay, well I, I gotta go.
I'll see you sometime tomorrow.
I love you, son.
(Third Dimension, "Too Late"
continues)
(people laughing)
(people cheering)
(Emmet speaking softly)
- Damn, you did a good Zay.
I thought there be a hole
in the wall with warm beer
and naked women.
- Well you know I'm a cop, Jill.
Hole in the walls isn't
really my thing.
- It's not where your
dating history says.
- Hey, now I am his wife.
- Yeah, but you are the
beautiful
exception, not the norm.
Hey y'all, please get off
my back, please
and let's enjoy this party
(energetic dance
music continues)
Now it's too late
(people speaking loudly)
- Ahem, I gotta use the
bathroom, all right.
I'll be right back.
Now it's too late
- So how does Zay
find this place?
I think he heard about it
from a friend.
Oh, well this friend also
happened to be six foot or
taller
and possibly on a motorcycle.
(Emmet sighs)
Jillian, I swear to God,
if you don't
- Stop talking about finding
me, I'm gonna whoop your ass.
- Okay, on another note,
I think I like to dance.
Care to join on the dance floor?
- Thanks Emmet, but
I'm gonna wait for Zay.
Clearly he bought us here so
we can have some alone time.
- Don't worry, Emmet,
mama will dance with you.
- No, Jill, I don't, I
don't want dance.
Now it's too late
(Isaiah laughs)
- Look who I found
while I was at restroom.
Ms. Hammon, didn't expect
to see you here.
- Ah, girl, what did I tell you?
Call me, Berna
and I come in here
occasionally on weekends
to get the edge off.
It's okay to let loose a little,
even if you come in here and
have a drink by yourself.
- By yourself? Not with us,
first round on me, all right?
All right, I'll be back.
- Are you having a good time?
- Yes, nice place.
- Good, well you look nice.
- Thank you.
- So do you.
- Thank you.
- Suck, suck suck.
- Okay.
- Where jill and Emmet?
(energetic music)
- Cheers.
(intense dance music)
(people conversing loudly)
(intense dance music continues)
- Oh, okay, so let me get
this straight.
You, Emmet and Naomi all
went to college together?
- Yep, well, me and Emmet,
we've known each
other since what?
Elementary school, right,
but we both met Naomi
when she came in to
corrected a professor.
- She did what?
- Oh no.
- Yeah, so apparently
the poor man
had misquoted an English
author or something
and in return his entire
existence
was called into question.
- It wasn't just some
writer, it was Dickinson.
And he tried
to pretend like it was
his favorite author,
trying to be like this
fancy elitist.
He shouldn't have
tried to bullshit.
- Anyway, I found
out on that day
that you cannot
misquote my baby.
All right, or she will put
the fear of God into you.
- That is so cool.
- Yeah, down with the
patriarchy, woo.
- We call her...
- Yeah.
- What? Oh.
- Get your girl man.
- I'm going to take her home,
come on.
- Found one.
- I'm going to take her home.
- Okay.
- Well, I wanna hear a
little more about
how this little firecracker
Naomi used to be.
- It wasn't like that.
- You, when Sasha Barns about
to start a revolution over
that frat house behavior.
I ain't forget
- Sasha Barns?
I haven't thought about
her in a while.
- Who?
- Sasha was my best friend
before I met Jillian.
- And they was like
joined at the hip,
gave me like a creepy
"The Shining" vibes
- Until she dropped outta
school and joined the military.
Oh, what was that about?
- We don't know. She
just up and disappeared.
- Yep, she was in active
duty, died three years ago.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to kill the mood.
No, no, not at all.
Isn't this my song?
- I think it is, go get it.
Come on, come on, let's
see what you got.
("Let Me Go by Niahn ft. GRP)
(human vocalizing)
(human vocalizing continues)
I said go, let me go
(human vocalizing)
Let go, let me go
(dance music intensifies)
(human vocalizing continues)
(air whooshing)
(Faith Richards - Bold)
Never knew a moment that
could feel so right.
Could slow down
time like this
Everything I needed is
in your eyes
And in your mind.
Maybe it's crazy to
fall so soon.
Give it all to you, hey, ya
But I don't care
what they say
Please promise you'll stay.
(air whooshing)
- You know what we need?
- What?
- A photo shoot.
- Please, oh my gosh.
Okay, just be like cutest
little sailor.
Are you sure your
parents aren't home?
- Yeah, they left
like an hour ago.
- Okay, well in that case,
give me your best sexy captain.
- Ooh, smolder, oh my
God, yes, I love these.
These are so cute.
Okay, now for this one.
So me a little different.
Give me like sultry eyes.
(Camera beeping)
(shutter clicking)
Okay, now look at me like
you just saw something
that you wanted your whole life
and you can finally have it.
- What are you girls doing?
(Naomi and Sasha
breathing heavily)
- What in the world is
going on with you?
(air whooshing)
- What is it?
- What is she doing here?
- Who?
- Good morning, Isaiah.
- Good morning.
- Hmm, morning Berna.
- I'm gonna use the
restroom, I'll right back.
- Okay
- What baby?
What is she doing here?
- We had a night.
- A night?
- A very fun night.
(Naomi sighs)
- Such a boy.
- Me, hold up, you are
a member in this tango
from what I recall.
- I slept with my boss.
- Ah, it seems like you two
have a lot to talk about.
So I'm gonna go.
If y'all wanna, you know,
get coffee
and talk about this,
just let me know.
- Mm-hm.
- Okay?
- Okay, thank you for an
amazing night.
- [Naomi] All right.
- [Isaiah] All right, bye Berna.
(Naomi grunts)
(Isaiah groans)
- What was she doing here?
- We had a night, baby.
- A night?
- Yes.
- Oh my God,
say we slept with someone.
We've never cheated
on each other.
We've been married five years.
(Isaiah sighs)
- So what you're saying
you regret it?
- No, I don't regret it. I
just hate how reckless we were.
We've never even talked about
doing something like this.
- You know what, you are right?
It was reckless and we did not
talk it through, all right.
You're right, but I don't know.
I enjoy myself, didn't you?
- Yes, but do you think
this is something
that you wanna continue to do?
- I, I just, damn, I gotta
get back to work, baby.
The boss is calling.
Look, you have the day off,
all right.
Take some time off to
think about it.
If you need to, grab
some coffee,
if that makes you
more comfortable.
But look, I love you, okay,
and this, this doesn't
change that, okay?
- Okay.
- All right, come here,
get some rest girl.
I'll be home later.
- Okay.
- [Isaiah] Okay.
- Yo, honestly man, I don't
know what to do here, bro.
It's like if I get caught,
I'll be putting everything me
and this girl got in jeopardy.
You feel me?
- Well, maybe you should
have thought about that
before trying to screw
somebody else.
- Excuse me.
- Look man, the way I
see it, you are married
to an amazing woman
whom you have fallen
outta love with.
Yet, you remain with her
out of obligation
and you're okay with lying
to her face in order to
get what you want.
- Man, it's not like she wasn't
having a good old time, bro.
She basically took hold
of everything, all right.
And what would you know?
Nigger, you ain't date
since college.
- I choose to be single
for a reason,
just like you choose
to be married.
If you don't want that man,
at least have the decency
to clean up your act.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up.
- You see that?
Yo, that's him right there,
that's the thief.
I'm gonna get his ass.
Nah, nah, nah, I don't
think that's him.
- Are you smoking crack?
That is him.
- No, we did not see
him, at least not today.
- All right, all right,
that's not him.
We didn't see him, this time.
- Let's go.
(water running)
- I cannot not believe
what is going on with you.
What is going on with you?
What is going on with you?
What you two doing in there?
- I'm sorry mom, it
wasn't like that.
- I did not raise you to
do that, okay.
I did not raise you
to be like that
and no daughter of mine
is gonna be doing such
stuff like that.
Not in this house, not
in this house of God, no.
- You're right mama, I'm sorry.
- You know what? If you keep
on doing stuff like this,
your father and I are gonna
stop paying your tuition.
Just wait till he
hears about this.
- What?
- Who do you think you
raising your voice at girl?
Look, I didn't raise you
to be like this
and that is not what
I'm expecting.
You know what?
I'm gonna find a way to get you
more involved in the church.
Couldn't be a choir girl
'cause you know your voice
never really sort of...
Naomi Jones, you get back
here right now, Naomi!
(Naomi mother's voice echos)
(Naomi talking softly)
(Naomi sighs)
- I really wanna call her.
Hey Bernnet, it's Naomi.
Isaiah went into work today
and I was wondering if
we could meet for coffee
if you're free.
One, one sounds perfect,
that'll be great.
Okay, I'll see you then, bye
- Hey, son.
- Ma.
- I seen Officer Fry paid
you a visit today, huh?
- And they seem to be
getting a little
aggressive with the shit too.
We need to do something
about his ass..
- Now that makes sense.
He's trying to scare you
into submission.
- I mean, it ain't just
me, it's everybody.
It's it's the loan
niggers, dealers, crooks,
that nigger's terrorizing
the whole hood.
- My entire operation is
going to because of this pigs.
- No, operation?
So while we out there
getting our asses, whoop,
what the fuck are you doing?
Operation, sound like a
whole politician
up this mother fucker.
- Oh now son.
- All my Niggers getting
their asses whooped.
- Son!
- You don't give a
fuck about them.
We all just pawns of your
grand operation.
What kind of shit is that?
- Son, everything
that I've done.
What's the dig you out of the
gutter that you were raised in
and I'm not letting this pig
tear down my entire operation.
- Is that so?
- Yes.
- Is that so?
So here you are empty
mother fuckin' handed.
What the fuck are you
going to do?
- I'm doing everything I can,
son.
- Everything you can?
- [Berna] Yes.
- Ho ho, everything you can,
wow, you, you got a lot
of, a lot of willpower
to do everything you can, huh?
- Listen, listen, if
Isaiah's on our side,
then we can take Emmet down.
Nah, nah, Isaiah on our side.
Why don't we just
kill that nigger
and get him over with?
- Think Ty, their cops,
their blood on our hand
is not worth it.
Now, if you can get proof,
then we can get somewhere.
- Proof, you made that
sound real easy, huh?
- Then let me handle it, son.
- Let you handle it.
So I'm supposed to wait
mother fucking right here.
I'm supposed to wait right here
and wait for you to
handle this shit?
Oh, get out of town,
that's real hilarious.
Wait for you,
I'm appalled
that you will even ask
a question like that.
- Son.
- Operation, since we
saying big words.
I'm a appalled. I'm
appalled you as like that.
If you can't handle it,
then you need to step away
so that I can do this.
- You can't.
- I can.
- Okay, I love you, son.
- Yeah.
- But let me handle this.
- Okay, go right ahead, go
right ahead and handle it,
fucking handle it.
- Hey, yah.
- Oh, hey, thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Thank you for meeting with me.
- Thanks for wanting to
meet with me.
- Okay, there's a lot
to talk about
and I really don't know
where to start.
- Well, we can start with,
was it good?
(Naomi choking)
- Yes it was, it was very good.
- Well, thank you and you
weren't too bad yourself.
- Is this something
you've done before?
- Be with women or
with a couple?
- Both, I guess.
- you can say that
I've been with several men,
several women.
Sometimes, there are a couple,
other times they're apart,
it's called polyamory.
- I've heard of the term.
So is this something that
you might wanna do again?
- Coffee or sex, Naomi?
- I don't know.
I'm just, I really,
I'm having a hard time
expressing myself.
- It's okay, just get
yourself together.
Take a deep breath and
ask a question.
- Thank you for that.
I guess what I'm asking is,
are you wanting to date
or have casual sex?
- Well, Naomi, the sex is good,
but I have to be
honest with you,
after working with you
and getting to know you both,
I wanna be with you.
The both of you, if
you'll have me.
- I have to talk to my husband
and as long as you can promise
that work won't get in the way.
- It won't.
- Okay.
- All right.
(engine humming)
- All right, baby, just
let me know more details
when I'm meet up with you
both later, all right.
All right, I love you too,
all right.
(car door slams)
- So it looks like y'all
working it out, huh?
- Looks that way, Naomi had
a conversation with Berna.
Looks like we gonna try to
give this thing a go, you know?
- So are you gonna
tell her about
what y'all two did
before last night?
- Nope, what she don't
know won't hurt her.
- That is so messed up.
- Nah, what's messed up is
how you let that purse
snatcher get away.
- Hey, what's up with that?
Hey man, look man,
I'm trying to use him
like we use Ty, right.
I figured, man, we keep
pushing on the kid, man.
We bound to get some pushback.
So why you ain't just say that?
Because, man, I just kind
of the hell you been
treating Naomi.
- What? Listen, stay out
my business, all right.
Stay out of it.
You should learn how
to treat women better.
(motorcycle engine revving)
- Mind your business, damn.
(engines revving)
(Naomi laughing)
- Hey you two.
- [Naomi] Hey.
- Sorry it took me so long
to get from the office.
What's going on?
- It's okay baby, how was work?
- It was fine, but me and
Emmet kind of got into a fight,
but you know how that go.
- Well, I hope it wasn't
because of me.
I don't want any trouble
outta this now.
- If he has issues
with what three grown-ass
people are doing,
he needs to mind his business.
- Can y'all chill please,
all right,
it was open something very,
very stupid.
But you know, we agreed
to take some time
from each other and
that's what we doing.
- It's okay, he just
need to be careful
how he talks about this.
- Right, because I knew
he had a issue
with me the night of
the nightclub.
He seem a little off a bit.
- Honestly, he's not that bad.
- Okay, all right.
I'm right here.
- [Naomi] Okay.
- So what are we doing?
- If it's all the same to
you, we would like to date.
- Date?
- Yeah, we decided, we...
- We want more than casual sex.
- Yeah.
- We just realized that we
have a special connection
and we wanna explore that a bit,
I mean with you, of course.
- Okay.
- So is that something
that you're gonna be okay
with us being together?
- Ah, I think we could
make that work.
I think it'll be cool.
- Okay.
- Oh gosh, now your word
vomit is contagious.
Lord, help us.
- Ha, ha, ha, whatever.
- I'm just saying, you...
- Oh.
- What the fuck?
Y'all stay right here.
- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.
- Okay, hey Zay sure
know how to run
- Right, he probably shouldn't
have robbed a cop's wife.
So should we call the police?
- He is the police,
everything's fine.
We're okay?
- Okay.
- Hey, look like he took your
car keys in the house keys,
but I left everything else.
- Lemme see, that's weird.
- My lipstick is missing.
- What kind of mugger
steals makeup
and leaves the money?
- Let me see, he probably tried
to empty it out when he ran.
I can go back to the trail
check if he dropped
anything else.
- No, no, it's okay. I
don't wanna ruin this day.
It's been really good
and it's like $20 worth
of stuff I can get back.
- So Nay, are you sure?
'Cause I'd rather stay and
get your stuff.
- It's okay, besides,
this is way more important
and a lot more fun.
- Okay.
- come on.
- Sorry y'all, I gotta go
to the bathroom.
All right, baby, hey...
- Oh.
- What are we doing?
- Exactly what I planned, baby.
We're together now.
- Yeah, but I don't know.
- About what?
Oh, you thought we
screw and be done?
Baby, I thought you
know me by now.
I'm not that kind of girl,
- But you using me,
all right and you using her.
This whole thing is
built on a lie.
- Well, I'm not the only one.
- What was that?
I'm not the only one.
You wanted this.
You wanted me and I wanted you,
but you didn't want her.
Oh, is that what that is?
You're jealous?
You can't have your cake
and eat it too, baby.
It is just the two of us
and nothing can stop you
right now unless you want to.
- Well, well, well I leave
you two all of three minutes
and you're all over each other.
- I'm, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry baby.
- I'm not gonna get jealous.
- See, we're fine.
He was getting jealous about
how much time we've
been spending.
Really, Zay?
- Just a little bit, baby,
a little bit.
- I mean we did spend
all day with each other.
So I think he likes us spending
so much time together.
- Maybe he doesn't like it
when you two talk about him
behind his back when
he's not around.
- Hmm, are you sure?
You don't want to see
what we can do together?
(gentle romantic music)
You can join us at any time.
("Looking In" by
Michael Vignola)
(gentle foreboding music)
(gentle foreboding
music continues)
(Michael Vignola's "Looking In'
continues)
- Bingo.
- What are you doing?
Oh, I'm sorry, I was
just feeling restless.
Did I wake you?
- No, I can't sleep either.
Well, do you wanna do something?
I don't really feel
like sleeping right now.
You know what?
I got just the thing.
(Isaiah snoring)
(Isaiah coughing)
- [Berna] Oh God.
- [Naomi] You ready?
- No.
- That's usually when
you need it.
All right, on a count of three,
three, two, one.
("Presence" by Aija Alsina)
- Ooh.
(water splashing)
- Oh my God, oh.
- Just sink.
- You are absolutely something,
nice call Mrs. Lawrence
- You wanna call me that again?
(water splashing)
- Oh, okay. Okay, okay.
So you swim often?
I used to, back when I
was pregnant.
It my escape from a
very hard day.
Isaiah hates pools, says
the chlorine agitates him.
Was he dotting you constantly?
I can still see him as
a helicopter dad, I do.
- No, not really.
He was working a lot back then.
He was working towards
becoming detective
and when he came home he
would get really upset
because I needed him
to wait on me and foot.
Well he is, he sound like
he was an ass.
- He was, but that didn't
ruin the experience for me.
I mean, I loved every
second of being pregnant.
I have a son.
- Really, when I was nearing
my senior year in high school,
me and my boyfriend
celebrated little two much
and when I found out he already
left town and switched schools.
So once I gave birth,
I couldn't hide it
from my parents.
So they kicked me out
and they took my college plan.
I'm so sorry that
happened to you, Berna.
Luckily, I was working
in high school
so I used the money I saved
and took night classes and
I got us out that situation
Nay, I did some bad things,
really, really bad things.
I bought us a house,
but the things we become,
it haunts me.
- It couldn't have
been that bad.
I mean, you're the best
person I know.
It doesn't work like that, Nay.
Like the things I've done.
I put my son through so much,
so much.
He didn't ask to be a
part of any of this
and now he can't escape
my mistakes because of me.
And honestly Nay, that,
that really does hurt
me more than anything.
- I, I can't have kids.
- Nay, I'm so, I'm so sorry.
I, I didn't know.
Was it the accident?
- Yep, I mean,
I knew then that we weren't
gonna last that long.
You know, it's been
obligation mostly
and the inability to
separate our lives.
I think that's why we
gravitated to you so quick.
How we've fallen for you. I
mean, how I've fallen for you.
But honestly,
I think we just wanna be free.
Thank you for being that
person for my time of need.
- Naomi, I, I...
- Shhh
("Presence" by Aija
Alsina continues)
(Naomi sighs)
- It's just all so floaty
- Girl, she has got you hooked.
- Yes, yes she does.
I mean, being with Berna,
being a part of this is just
a absolutely incredible.
But it made me
realize some things.
- What, that women are
better than men?
I thought you already knew that.
- It's not like that,
it's just the more
I'm with Berna,
the more I realize how
boring it is with Zay.
We're not even in love anymore.
We're just together
because we're married.
- Nay, do not even tell me
that you're thinking
about switching sides.
The grass isn't always
greener on the other side.
Sometimes the grass
is just dead.
- You know, I would hold
that advice accountable,
had you not tried to sleep
with Emmet the other night.
- Don't you dare try
to hold me accountable
for drunk Jillian's actions.
She's a crazy girl
with the body count
longer than all the lines
and all the clubs.
- I'm not even gonna dignify
that with a response, okay.
But have you spoken to Emmet?
Zay mentioned that he's
been acting weird lately.
- Oh, I think he was upset
'cause they ran out of
the really small condoms.
- What?
- Hey.
- Okay, answer the question,
seriously.
- Okay, no, I
haven't seen Emmet.
I'm pretty sure he is
still really mad at me
because God forbid I
drunk for it with someone.
- That's fair.
- Come on.
- Okay, are you excited about
the fundraiser ball tonight?
- Yes. I can't wait to
see you two together.
Wait, is Zay and Emmet
gonna be there?
- Yeah, they ask for
some overtime.
- Girl, how are you
getting away with this?
Like how's this gonna work?
I mean, is there a
throuple dance
or are you gonna make them
fight over you?
Yeah, you should make them
fight over you.
My money is on Berna there
because that is crazy.
She's scarier than Freddie
Kruger's ass sometimes.
- Listen friend, you need
to shut up about this, okay,
before I punch you.
- Punch.
- Don't spike the punch
this time please.
- I will make no such promises.
- I'm good.
All right, man, I put in a
lot of work to get you these.
Yeah, I know, yo, it's
just this thing
with Berna and Naomi,
got me tripping.
I thought it was between
the three of y'all.
I thought that too,
but it's like,
yo, they turned it to
"Thelma and Louise" on me
and I feel like I'm getting
completely iced out.
- Hmm, makes sense.
- Yo, you wanna get your foot
off my ass with my choices.
- What? Man, I mean you are
trying to fix a relationship
by creating a whole
nother relationship.
- [Police Dispatch] One, one
and one-four to cover 211 armed
at Lupita's market, 889
fourth Street.
- You wanna get his
ass this time
or is he still useful?
- He played his role,
let's get his ass.
- My man.
( thief coughing)
- All right, shit, I need
to fuck up out of here.
Now that shit good.
- Mr...
- Why the are you still in town?
I'm leaving bro.
I was just checking
on my baby mama
and the, and the babies
bro, that's it, bro.
- They put the call out.
They're looking for you.
You know I know where you
are everywhere, every time.
This is not going to work.
- Okay, understandable, that's
why I'm on my way outta here.
I got the, I got the
lipstick, the eyeliner,
little glary shit.
What you asking me for, right?
So you need me to
mind my business?
No. um-Huh,
no, I'm about to, I'm about,
I'm me,
I'm about to go mind
my business over there.
I need to mind my business, Zay
- Zay? No, me.
You should really learn
how to treat women better.
I treat my baby mama good.
I just, with that shit.
You know what they say
about skinny niggers?
- You know what?
My apologies, so you leaving,
right?
- Yeah.
- Wouldn't get the fuck
outta town, get out.
- Alright, Et...
- Get out.
- Lemme get some.
- Get the fuck on, nigger.
- All right, Et.
("Something in the Ether"
by Kyle Preston)
(gun firing)
("Something in the Ether"
by Kyle Preston continues)
(Emmet breathing heavily)
- Yo, its me.
- [Isaiah] Oh, man, what's
up? While we split up.
I could have helped you out.
- Yeah, I found him.
- [Isaiah] I'm on the way.
Do not fool.
- Well, he's, he's dead.
- [Isaiah] Dead, what
you mean he dead?
- Yeah, some nigger popped him.
- [Isaiah] I told you we
shouldn't have split up.
- Yeah, I know, I know.
I'll see you back at
the station, all right.
- [Isaiah] All right, stupid,
mother fuck.
- Should treat women better.
- Oh, so you got proof?
- You stop being useful
and your dumb about to be
a headline in the news.
So shut up and take
it like a man,
besides going to a good cause.
My partner needs it for
his leg or something.
- Got no proof for you?
Oh my god, son, are you okay?
- I'm straight, mom. I'm
straight don't worry about it.
I'm straight, I promise you.
Look, I just want the pig gone,
that's it.
- Okay, we'll confront
him tomorrow.
- Tomorrow, what the do
you mean tomorrow?
No, we do this today.
- Listen son, I understand that.
- No, today.
- But you need to go to
the hospital.
Plus there's some ramifications
that I didn't consider.
- Ramifications?
- Yes.
- What the fuck does that mean?
- It means that the
collateral damage
of this will hurt people.
Collateral damage,
the fucking collateral damage.
No, no, no, you don't get
to cut this off
just because you wanna fall
in love with the nigger.
Now, I gotta put up
with this shit
and fuck that, Ma.
- No wait, Ty, shit.
(tense dramatic music)
- You lying ass bitch.
- Who you calling a bitch?
Why would you snake yourself
into my life, fuck my wife.
All because my partner
was selling drugs
to your drug dealing ass son.
- While your adult friend was
stealing money for him himself,
he was stealing pills for you.
Every pill you took was
a pill taken from a kid
that was doing what he
needed to do for his family.
I don't owe y'all no
god apology.
I was playing the
game like he was.
So let this be the last time
you ever put your hands on me.
- If you think I'm gonna
let this slide,
you got it all wrong, all right.
- I'm gonna tell her even
if it hurts her,
but I guess that's just
what liars like us deserve.
- Hey, down walk away from me.
Get your God damn
hands off with me.
- All right, y'all made me
hurt my knee, lemme get a shot.
- Hey Jillian, Naomi, can
I please speak with you?
Oh sure, one moment.
- [Jillian] I wish I
was getting...
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
what are you doing?
Our coworkers, your husband.
He won't be my husband for long.
What?
I'm getting a divorce.
Listen, I love Isaiah.
I will always love Isaiah,
but I want this.
I want us,
- Naomi, I want that too,
but I have to talk to you.
I haven't been honest
with everything...
- Berna, there's a
situation outside
that requires your attention.
- Shit, excuse me sir.
Oh, shit, this mother
fucker nice.
- Okay, I need to handle this.
Just promise me we'll
talk later, okay?
- Sure.
- Naomi.
- What?
- Sorry, sorry,
are you, are you
leaving the gala?
- No, I was just trying to
talk to Berna, what's up?
- Okay, well, I can't
wait anymore.
I I have to say this right now,
Naomi, I'm in love with you.
- What?
- I've always been in love
with you since college,
since the first time
I saw you in the hall.
- Myself and Sasha Barnes?
We've always been close,
Emmet like...
- Yeah, yeah, but she
left and you were hurting.
And Isaiah, he's just,
he's too blind to see it.
But Naomi, I see you, I see you.
Even if you don't see me,
- I can't.
Okay, I, I can't do
this to Isaiah.
We cannot do this.
Wait, Naomi.
- No.
- Naomi, Naomi,
- Get your hands off of him.
He is a victim, not a criminal.
- That's right, today,
I guess I'm both, huh?
- Son, not another word
until you get a lawyer, okay.
Berna, what's going on?
Is, is this your son?
Naomi, I, I, I, I wanted
to tell you, I just,
- Oh, if it ain't the pork chop
for yourself, how are you today?
Lemme tell you something,
mother fucker,
I know you did this.
- Hey, calm down.
- Shut the fuck up.
This is you, mother
fucker. I know this is you.
And look, it's all right,
it's all right
because we going down together.
We all going down together, you,
me, Fry.
We all going down together.
- Berner, what the hell
is he going on about?
I, I, I didn't know this
is gonna go this far.
I was, I was, I was just
trying to save my son.
I was just trying to
save my son.
What are you talking about?
- Oh, you really
don't know do you?
You really don't know. Well
listen to this bullshit.
So she has been the both of you
on some freak, nasty to
get some leverage.
Some leverage because his
hoe-ass partner
came to my turf and
killed one of my niggers
- Look, that's a lie, all right.
- Bullshit.
- Relax.
- Fuck you, that's bullshit.
You know it's bull shit.
You know it.
You want to know why
that's bullshit?
Because you been
exploiting me for ages,
mother fucker.
For age, Y'all been taking
my shit, taking my money,
my weight, my drugs, nigger.
My means to live out this
mother fucker.
Matter of fact, you're
here, where the fuck is Fry?
All right...
- Officer Fry.
- That's enough,
hey, y'all can meet him
at the station, Zay.
We hopefully we can sober
up a little bit.
- Oh no, that was
probably the punch.
I think somebody spiked it,
I'm not sure.
- You mean to tell me,
everything we did was
to get to him.
- Naomi, I needed to
save my son, okay.
Emmet was gonna destroy
everything that I've built.
I didn't know that it was
gonna get this far, Nay.
You did not have to fuck
me to get to him.
- It's because I didn't
want to cheat on you,
but she wanted to get to
you to get to me,
the whole game of hot potato.
- How long has she been
trying to sleep with you, Zay?
Baby, it's not like that.
Berna, how long have
you been trying to sleep
with my husband?
Since right after the
accident, since day one,
since the day we met.
When I was going through
losing my son?
- I was trying to save my son,
Nay.
- And I lost mine
and you was becoming a
beacon of light in my life,
only to tear it down.
(Berna breathing heavily)
You killed us, you know that,
right?
- Let's be real about this.
We were only together
because neither of us
could leave each other.
If he wasn't so much
in the closet.
- Seriously, you blaming me.
- You put this in my face
so that you could feel
better about it?
- This whole threesome
idea that was only for you.
- You wanted that. You wanted
to feel free and you got it.
- I hate you Zay, and karma
is going to make you pay
for everything you did to me.
I'm gonna go stay Jillian's,
but I want you out of the
house and outta my life.
Come on, I'll call us a cab.
("Swept In" by Michael Vignola)
(car door latch clicking)
- Come on, come on, come on,
come on, don't be scared.
- Where you taking me?
- Hold on.
- What?
- It's a surprise.
- What?
- Voila.
Huh, look what we got.
- What is this?
- A house, baby, our house.
- Oh my God.
- Beautiful, right.
- I don't know, Zay.
- What?
- I don't think this would
fit that big ego of yours.
- Whoa now, this
house is perfect
and it's in our price range.
Got the trees, look at the yard.
- Okay, but can you believe
we made it this far?
I mean, we bought a
freaking house,
this is amazing,
- Man, I'm still hung
up on the fact
that I got you to marry me.
- Well, believe it, Mr.
Lawrence.
I plan on being your wife
for a very long, long time.
- A long time?
- A long time.
- I know that's right.
- Come here girl, look
at this house.
I know.
Let's check it out.
- Okay.
- [Isaiah] Check out
the backyard.
I got a pool.
- [Naomi] What?
- [Isaiah] Yes.
(Naomi and Isaiah laugh)
(air whooshing)
(soft somber music)
(door latch clacking)
(hinges squeaking)
- Pass the ball, Westbrook,
damn.
- [Newscaster] Can't get it in
and they finally do Westbrook...
- I got secret to tell you.
- What you doing?
- I'm coming in.
- Don't fall.
Why you rubbing your stomach,
need the bathroom or something.
What happened?
- We're pregnant?
- Huh, we pregnant?
- We pregnant.
- Is this real?
- It's real, baby, you serious?
- Oh, let's go baby, let's
go, Westbrook, let's baby.
Oh my God, oh, I'm so
happy to hear that.
Come on, let's go.
- Come on.
- Where we going? What's wrong.
We better go make another baby.
He already made the baby.
- It's time to get
started on baby two.
- Slow your roll, Isaiah.
Let me give birth to
this one first.
Hey, practice make perfect.
All right, let's go, let's go.
("Swept In by Michael
Vignola continues)
- Hey, what's wrong?
- I lost him.
- You lost what?
- The baby.
- Come on baby, it's not so bad.
(Isaiah and Naomi crying)
(Isaiah talking softly)
- I'm sorry.
("Swept In" becomes
more intense)
- Zay, Zay, please,
please, please wake up.
I'm sorry, Zay.
- Hello, somebody help
me, Zay, please help me.
- Hey, just have some coffee.
- Thank you.
- I'll be back in one minute.
What do you mean the examiner
won't hand over the body?
- The doctor said he
wasn't sure it was suicide.
Said the angle and the
gun residue aren't right.
- That's insane, Naomi
can't handle all of this.
You need to do
something about this.
- What to do about this?
I mean, after, after the
fiasco and the dance hall
and all this, I mean,
I've been basically iced
out of everything.
- I don't care if you
have to go in there
and beat the crap out
of him, fix this mess.
- Excuse me?
- You're responsible
for this mess.
You're the one that supplied
Isaiah with the drugs
that got Berna involved.
And then you finally
grew the balls
to let her know
about your crush,
the second she found
out how unhappy she was.
- Okay, so how'd you...
- Please, they might have
been oblivious
to your little crush,
but I saw it from the
first second I met you.
It's only a matter of time
before she realizes what a
little, stupid parasite you are.
- First of all, weren't you
trying to sleep with me?
- So I like to sleep
with men, a lot of men.
Clearly my standards are low.
Now, grow some balls and go dig
us out of this hole you made
before you bury us all.
(doorbell rings)
- What the hell are
you doing here?
Isn't your son about
to go to jail?
- Lawyer has him out on bail.
I need to talk to Naomi.
- The hell you do. I would've
smacked the out of you
for what you put her through.
- After everything I did,
I smacked the outta me too,
but she needs to know
this as painful as it is.
- Fine, but only
because I bet when
she jumps you,
she's gonna be feeling
a hell of a lot better.
- Anything else?
- Emmet is here, I don't
quite get all the beef
that went down,
but I will not have you two
causing a scene in front of her.
Is that clear?
- Crystal
- What the hell is
she doing here?
- She said she wouldn't
leave without talking to you.
- I am so sorry for
just everything.
- Cut the crap, I don't want
or need an apology from you.
You snake your way into my
life, take advantage of me,
made me believe that
you hang the moon
and the stars only for
you to tear them down?
What possibly could you
do to me now.
- I'm pregnant.
What the hell did you just say?
- I'm pregnant, look,
I am so sorry
for dragging you into
this crusade.
I never should have gone
about this the way that I did,
but I needed to do whatever
it took to save my son.
Now, I know this baby
doesn't change what I did,
but it is Isaiah's.
And if you want anything to do
with this baby's life, I
want that too.
I'm, I'm sorry, Naomi,
I'm sorry.
- I can't do this right now.
Jillian, I'm gonna go
take a rest,
talk to her about my
leave of absence.
- Of course, anything you need.
("Far Away" by Vero G)
Far away, just want to
touch your face
Look back at those,
those days.
Know that you are not
here with me.
Remember how we used to
hold me or kiss me so softly
Caressing, so gently,
telling sweet nothings
- Zay, tell me something.
And make you come, come back.

- Is anybody hungry?
- How?
How are you even
hungry right now?
- How?
- it's good to see you up, Nay.
Oh my, Naomi, put that down.
- How could you?
How could you do something
like that, Emmet?
He loved you,
- Naomi, I don't know what
happened, but put the gun down.
- Why'd you kill Isaiah?
- What?
- Kill Isaiah, he's my partner.
He was my best friend. This
is your gun I'm holding.
It was in my husband's safe.
You shot him after the
poison didn't work.
- Poison?
- The pills, they're
real from Ty.
But if you added special ones,
of course you did.
You wanted him to get caught.
You wanted to ruin him
in Naomi's eyes.
- But it didn't work because
he was trying to quit.
- But you got violent.
- Are you in insane?
Why would I do all of that?
Because you love me
and you would remove any
obstacle in your way.
But you left a few clues
uncounted for.
- Of course, I did
'cause I love you.
- Oh my God.
Did it for you.
You wanted him dead.
You wanted him dead, after
everything he did to you.
- You did it for you.
You killed Isaiah.
You got him addicted to drugs.
You got burn involved
in all of this.
You put us through all of
this over a stupid crush.
- Crush, a crush?
Naomi, I'm in love with you.
You are everything to me.
And after everything that
you found out,
he was keeping and
hiding from you.
- He was hiding it from you.
- He knew how
dangerous you were.
That task code on the safe was
only something I would know
if he left evidence from those
so-called transactions you made.
- Naomi, that's not
what it seems.
You gotta believe me.
I don't believe jack shit.
You killed my husband, Emmet.
(metal hitting flesh)
- Emmet, wait.
(gun fires)
- Wait please.
- Shhh
- You are so beautiful.
- Emmett.
. I'm really sorry about the
guy I hired the other day
to rough you up and
take your purse,
but I just needed to
get some of your things
because I didn't have a chance.
Of course, I should've
knew this ahead of time,
but all Isaiah wanted to
do was talk about
how you were in bed.
He's such a pig, but
he's gone now.
One less obstacle in our way,
come here.
- Emmet, please.
- Shhh, shhh,
I want you to smear your makeup.
(Berna moaning)
Every time I try to
do something,
it seems to be like something
that's always getting
in our way.
Hang tight, baby.
- Emmet, Emmet, please, please.
(Berna screaming)
She's pregnant.
- What the fuck did
you just say?
- She's pregnant and it's
Isaiah's baby.
- Is this true?
- I just found out yesterday.
- Shit, fuck, God damn it.
- Emmet, Listen, you've
already taken Isaiah from me.
But if you take this baby of
this world, you lose all of me.
- What?
- Naomi no.
- Shut up, bitch.
- Focus on me,
you've taken so much already
and I may never forgive you,
but if you let her go,
I won't run.
I won't fight and we
can finally be together
just like you want, okay?
- You won't say anything.
You ain't say nothing to nobody,
right?
I have no idea where
you're going.
- All I wanted was for
you to let my boy go.
And you, you, you did that.
Just, just, just take the
money you got for my son
and just, just, just leave.
- Thank you, thank...
I'm gonna tell y'all like
this, tell you real straight.
Get up, you say anything,
she dies.
You fight back and
that bitch dies.
Okay, thank, thank you, Emmet
- Goodbye Berna, take
care of this one, okay?
- I promise.
(door crashes open)
(tense dramatic music)
- [Naomi] Oh.
(Ty groaning)
- You, get out, mother fucking,
oh.
(fist smashing)
(gun firing)
("Swept in" by Michael Vignola)
(Naomi breathing heavily)
- I just wanted to be seen.
(Naomi and Berna crying)
- It's okay.
- So you confronted him
about killing your husband?
- Yes and he overpowered us.
It became a struggle at first,
but we were able to take him,
not without casualty, of course.
So what about the money he said
that he had for you guys
to run away with?
I never saw it.
The bag only contained
the makeup and the jewelry
that he stole from me.
Okay, so how did you
three overpower him?
Motherly instincts,
okay, well, looks like I
got everything that I need.
I will be in touch with you
and doing some surveillance,
- Okay.
- All right, thank you.
- Thank you, have a great day.
- You too.
(door latch clicks)
- Here, take this.
He's gone,
but it's not safe for you to
be in this town any longer,
not with two possible
murder charges.
- And what, I'm supposed to
just take this money and leave?
- No, you're gonna
take this money
so you can be free, free of me.
- I don't, I don't understand.
- Ever since you were born,
I tried everything I could
to get you out of filth,
just to realize I'm the
one keeping you in it.
You deserve to be free, free
to make your own choices.
Officer and I will not
stop you this time.
(Ty sighs)
- I dunno, ah, thank you,
thank you.
- Thank you, son.
We wouldn't have
survived without you.
What made you come?
- I guess because you need me.
- I did, I did son,
but this child needs me now.
And I am gonna focus on
every obstacle I had over you
so that this child doesn't
have the same problems.
- All right, mom,
- Goodbye son.
- Goodbye mama.
(Naomi sighs)
- So, is that it?
I think,
I don't have any more
skeletons in my closet, do you?
- Not that I can think of.
- Look, I'm, I'm sorry
for everything.
I really care about you, Naomi.
I, I do more than I, I
can really put in words.
I just, I, I, I didn't mean
for any of this to happen
or to hurt you.
- Given everything
that's happened,
I think we should just
take some time, you know,
take some time to just think,
even take some time about us.
If that's even still
what I want.
- I will see you at work?
Is tomorrow, Monday?
- Yeah, but I think
we both can take the day off.
- Yeah, we calling in sick.
What's another another secret.

(gentle brooding music)
(Naomi breaths heavily)
- Babe, what is it?
- Where's, where's our child?
Where's my baby?
- Naomi, listen,
it was an accident, all right,
an accident, you had
to remember.
(Naomi sighs)
- Hey babe, are you,
are you still dropping
off lunch for Jill and I?
Papa's roast beef is the
highlight of our weekend.
- I already told you yes,
all right?
And look, you know, just
because they made me detective
with Emmet doesn't
mean the brass is
gonna let me see any
action, you know that right?
- I know baby. I know.
- Okay, look, we've been
over this, all right.
I told you I was going back
to active duty, all right.
And I'm going to be
extra careful,
Emmet's gonna be right there
with me every step of the way,
all right?
- You right, beau.
I just...
I don't wanna lose you.
- You not, all right, and
I'm sorry, Nay,
and I tell you what I'm gonna
say about grabbing some pies
from Poppy's as well, all right.
Just promise me one thing,
do not let Jill get a slice.
She already act like Monique,
no need
for her to look like her too.
I'm serious.
- I love you Mr. Lawrence.
- And I love you too, Ms
Morning breath, Ms. Lawrence.
- Get outta here.
So say Emmet I said thank
you for the flowers.
- I definitely will,
definitely will.
I gotta get to work, okay.
- Mm-hm.
- Okay, call you later.
- All righty.
- All right.
(metallic clattering)
(gentle suspenseful music)
(door latch clicking)
(gentle suspenseful

- Yeah, he's right there.
- [Isaiah] I see him.
- I'll be right back.
(door latch clicking)
- All right.
(door slamming)
(suspenseful music continues)
- Officer Fry, what brings
you here on this fine evening?
- Ah, cut the crap Ty,
you got it?
- Asked nicely the last time.
- 5K is missing.
- What?
- $5,000 of my money is
missing, you little shit.
Cool, cool off, nigger.
Hey, look, look, look,
I know you didn't pass
the ninth grade.
I know you a little remedial
and everything like that,
but I'm gonna need my money.
Look bro, the last time I
checked, last time I checked,
the full 22 was all in there,
bro.
Last time I looked, I
promise you.
So you're calling me a liar now,
right?
Nah, I never call you a liar.
I don't...
(fist pounding)
- Damn.
- I like you kid.
I mean dumb as a plank,
but you got good connections.
So I'm...
I'm gonna take this
as an alternative for that
5K, all right, see you round.
(Ty speaks softly)
- Done with that fool.
- Yeah, he really thought
he shorted me, man.
He probably would've
gave his mama up, man.
Hey yo, Naomi know
about all this?
- Hell no.
- Shit, that girl couldn't even
stand on back on the force.
She knew about the pain, man.
I wouldn't even see the
other side of my desk.
Maybe it's just the PTSD.
- Yeah PTSD, yo, you
know every other morning
I have to remind this
girl what we lost.
It's like I already gotta
treat you like that.
Fuck, you might as well
let me have my dream job.
- Hey man, you should be
really nice about that.
You sound dumb as
hell right now.
- Yeah, man, you right, it's
just, yo, I just miss us.
It's like who wasn't
meant to be together, bro?
It's like we was like the
black Romeo and Juliet,
you feel me?
- Nigger, they both
die at the end of that,
you know that, right.
- Word?
Damn, I don't know.
I guess that's what we
went wrong at.
All right, Shakespeare, ah.
- Whatever man.
- [Police Dispatch] For the
armed robbery this occurred,
77701 Austin, 770.
- Officer Fry responded,
we will patrol the area.
(tense suspenseful music)
- Yeah, look, I got one.
(car engine revving)
- [Isaiah] Hey, don't make
me chase you, mother fucker.
- [Emmet] Freeze.
- God damn, my mother
fucking knee,
I'm gonna that mother fucker.
(tense dramatic music)
(Emmet breathing heavily)
- You get him?
- Nah, the son of got away, man.
- God damn, fuck.
- Hey man, don't worry about it,
man.
I'll go put a bullo out right
back at the car, all right.
Let's just go get the
girl some food
before they end us worse
than that knee.
- All right, come help me, bro.
- Oh, shit.
- Kill that mother fucker.
(birds chirping)
(Julian sighs)
(knuckles wrapping)
- Good afternoon, you
lovely lady.
- Hey.
Hey Berna, what shaking?
- Oh girl, you know Kevin
Lake is being a pain again.
Hey Charles gonna have
his if he keeps flirting
with my new interns.
- I swear that man needs to
learn the meaning of consent.
He's like a chihuahua always
looking for something to hump.
- I mean, but let's get real.
Isn't that all, men,
I swear every man
I've ever dated
has either been trash or gay.
- I don't know about that,
Miss Naomi over here
seems to have a good one.
(Naomi sighs)
- Tell me, which street
corner do I have
to work at to find that?
- Mm-hm, oh yeah, he's fine,
yeah.
Big strong and beautiful eyes
and it's 30 minutes late
with my God damn lunch.
- You mean, our God damn lunch?
- Mm.
You better not be holding
my roast beef hostage
or I swear I'm gonna
make him look
like Freddy Kruger's
ugly stepsister.
Anyway, is there something
that you need, Ms. Hammond?
- I thought I told you to
call me Berna.
- Berna.
- But I just wanna let you know
I was able to get my own copy
or "Trap" so you can
keep the one I gave you.
- Really?
- [Berna] Mm-hm
- Thank you, that,
that's incredible.
You know, I was hesitant
at first honestly,
but after reading it myself,
I just found it so inspiring.
You know, "I have bloomed a
thousand times in my lifetime."
- "Even when your roots
were damaged."
And that was my
favorite quote too.
- Mm-hm
- Let me know if you need
anything else,
- Okay, will do.
- She really is something,
isn't she?
- Ooh, somebody's got a
little girl crush.
- What?
No, just the book she
recommended,
it was special.
(air whooshing)
(soft somber music)
(Naomi snuffling)
(knuckles rapping)
- Come in.
- Hi, Mrs. Lawrence.
- Oh, hi,
ah, are you a neighbor
doing their good deed
for the day or something?
- Oh no, although I am
glad chivalry isn't dead.
I'm your new manager at
Social Services.
Your husband let me in.
Oh, of course,
what are you doing here, if
you don't mind me asking?
- I just wanted to
meet with you.
I heard about the accident
and I wanted to offer you
my condolences
and possibly some hope.
- Hope?
(intense piano music)
- "Trapped."
- Trust me, that book helped
me in my time of need.
18 years ago, I went
through a major life crisis
and I ended up alone
and a lot of pain that
I could ever imagine.
Nothing anyone said to
me did for me.
It couldn't take away the pain.
I guess You just...
You learn to live with it.
- How, how can I live
with something like this?
How do I forgive myself?
I lost...
I lost my baby.
- You start by realizing that
what happened wasn't your fault.
And then you try to move forward
and when you can't do
it for yourself,
you do it for the man
you lean on.
- Okay.
- Okay.
(air whooshing)
- She just made the
darkness a little brighter.
- Wow, make way, Mother Teresa,
manager Berna coming through.
- It is not like that.
- Somebody's got a
little girl crush.
So tell me, on a scale
from puppy love to misery?
Girl, shut up.
(Julian laughs)
- Finally...
- Hey, baby.
- God, what-
- Sorry, I'm late.
I had a chase down a
suspect today.
- Oh my God, is your leg okay?
- I'm good, look, I gotta go,
all right.
I see you at the house.
- Okay.
- All right.
(Naomi whispering)
- Man, I need a man.
You need a therapist,
- A sexy therapist with tattoos.
(Julian sighs)
You just proved my point.
- What?
- Mm-hm.
Well, hello again, Isaiah.
- Hey Berna, how you doing?
- I'm better now that
you're here.
Do you mind stepping
into my office?
I have some security issues
that could use your expertise.
- Okay, cool.
(door latch clicking)
- You miss me?
- Honey, listen,
I still haven't talked
this through with Nay.
- So you want me to stop?
- I ain't say that.
It's just, you know,
the girl already been
through enough.
I can't put her through
no more pain.
- Okay, so no pain,
how about pleasure?
- What you mean?
- You remember what we
talked about?
(air whooshing)
(Isaiah moaning)
(doorbell ringing)
- God, soon as I'm about to
work out, better not be Emmet.
- Oh, okay.
- Hi.
- Hey, how you doing?
Good, how are you?
- Doing good
- Good to see you.
- You too.
- I just wanting to stop
by to see your wife.
Just wanna offer my condolences,
- Okay, she's upstairs
resting right now,
but you can head up.
- Okay.
- Ha, all right, Berna,
get this workout.
Six pack, here I come baby,
six pack.
- Can I ask how
you're holding up?
- Best way I can explain,
as soon as my leg heals,
I can get back to work.
(tense dramatic music)
- Well, can I...
Can I spot you, while
you're doing your sit up?
- That's nice of you, but my
partner was supposed to come
and help me, but seems
like he got tied up.
So kind of a one man
army right now.
- You partner?
- Yeah, Berna, forgot
I was a cop?
- I I I thought that
you were saying
that Naomi was coming down.
- Oh, oh no, she
doesn't normally help
with these sort of things,
so yeah, she would not
be joining us.
- Well, I like to help
people in a physical sense.
- Ah, aha, thank you.
- Love and opportunity
to show my appreciation
for the effort you've put in.
- Ah, Berna...
- Tell me you don't want this?
I, ah...
- It's not right how she
doesn't appreciate this.
- I, look, I cannot hurt
her like this, all right,
not like this.
- So don't, we can
make this work.
- How?
- You tell me, have you
ever heard of polyamory?
(air whooshing)
- I honestly don't see how
we could make this work
without hurting her.
- Okay, so bring her in,
- What?
- Invite her to this
night club tonight.
I promise you, by the
end of the night,
all three of us would
be in a bed together.
- So what made you decide to
wanna go to this club tonight?
- Hmm, It was recommended
to me by one of my cadets.
- Ha, oh, what? So we gotta
go to the cool kids club?
What's the matter? You
feeling old there, grandpa?
- Ha ha ha, at least my
gray hairs ain't showing.
How about that?
- I just covered tonight,
thank you very much.
- Okay, all right, truce, dang.
Well look, honestly,
I just wanted to have a
lovely night with you,
especially after missing lunch
with you this weekend, baby
- Yeah.
- Plus we deserve to
have a good night, huh?
This how I'm gonna be tonight.
I'm gonna be bouncing
with her like that.
- That's sweet baby, but we
really do need to hurry up
'cause Jillian will be
here any minute.
- I can't believe you
letting that girl drive.
(Naomi sighs)
- Be nice tonight, please.
- Fine, but look,
she better not play no
white pop trash in the way.
Can't believe that girl
sing along to Taylor Swift
after listening to, what is it?
Monk and Coltrane, Kaitrain.
I don't know, get on my nerve.
- I blame her exes, okay,
makes her existential.
- I know that's right.
- All right baby, come on,
we need to hurry up 'cause
she'll be here soon, okay.
- All right, looking good girl.
I do? thank you.
Huh, all right, see
you out there.
("Too Late" by Third Dimension)

- Shit again?
Okay, I'll handle it.
I'm working on the angle,
now if all goes is planned,
then this problem should
go away, permanently.
Okay, well I, I gotta go.
I'll see you sometime tomorrow.
I love you, son.
(Third Dimension, "Too Late"

(people laughing)
(people cheering)
(Emmet speaking softly)
- Damn, you did a good Zay.
I thought there be a hole
in the wall with warm beer
and naked women.
- Well you know I'm a cop, Jill.
Hole in the walls isn't
really my thing.
- It's not where your
dating history says.
- Hey, now I am his wife.
- Yeah, but you are the
beautiful
exception, not the norm.
Hey y'all, please get off
my back, please
and let's enjoy this party

music continues)
Now it's too late
(people speaking loudly)
- Ahem, I gotta use the
bathroom, all right.
I'll be right back.
Now it's too late
- So how does Zay
find this place?
I think he heard about it
from a friend.
Oh, well this friend also
happened to be six foot or
taller
and possibly on a motorcycle.
(Emmet sighs)
Jillian, I swear to God,
if you don't
- Stop talking about finding
me, I'm gonna whoop your ass.
- Okay, on another note,
I think I like to dance.
Care to join on the dance floor?
- Thanks Emmet, but
I'm gonna wait for Zay.
Clearly he bought us here so
we can have some alone time.
- Don't worry, Emmet,
mama will dance with you.
- No, Jill, I don't, I
don't want dance.
Now it's too late
(Isaiah laughs)
- Look who I found
while I was at restroom.
Ms. Hammon, didn't expect
to see you here.
- Ah, girl, what did I tell you?
Call me, Berna
and I come in here
occasionally on weekends
to get the edge off.
It's okay to let loose a little,
even if you come in here and
have a drink by yourself.
- By yourself? Not with us,
first round on me, all right?
All right, I'll be back.
- Are you having a good time?
- Yes, nice place.
- Good, well you look nice.
- Thank you.
- So do you.
- Thank you.
- Suck, suck suck.
- Okay.
- Where jill and Emmet?
(energetic music)
- Cheers.
(intense dance music)
(people conversing loudly)
(intense dance music continues)
- Oh, okay, so let me get
this straight.
You, Emmet and Naomi all
went to college together?
- Yep, well, me and Emmet,
we've known each
other since what?
Elementary school, right,
but we both met Naomi
when she came in to
corrected a professor.
- She did what?
- Oh no.
- Yeah, so apparently
the poor man
had misquoted an English
author or something
and in return his entire
existence
was called into question.
- It wasn't just some
writer, it was Dickinson.
And he tried
to pretend like it was
his favorite author,
trying to be like this
fancy elitist.
He shouldn't have
tried to bullshit.
- Anyway, I found
out on that day
that you cannot
misquote my baby.
All right, or she will put
the fear of God into you.
- That is so cool.
- Yeah, down with the
patriarchy, woo.
- We call her...
- Yeah.
- What? Oh.
- Get your girl man.
- I'm going to take her home,
come on.
- Found one.
- I'm going to take her home.
- Okay.
- Well, I wanna hear a
little more about
how this little firecracker
Naomi used to be.
- It wasn't like that.
- You, when Sasha Barns about
to start a revolution over
that frat house behavior.
I ain't forget
- Sasha Barns?
I haven't thought about
her in a while.
- Who?
- Sasha was my best friend
before I met Jillian.
- And they was like
joined at the hip,
gave me like a creepy
"The Shining" vibes
- Until she dropped outta
school and joined the military.
Oh, what was that about?
- We don't know. She
just up and disappeared.
- Yep, she was in active
duty, died three years ago.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to kill the mood.
No, no, not at all.
Isn't this my song?
- I think it is, go get it.
Come on, come on, let's
see what you got.

could feel so right.
Could slow down
time like this
Everything I needed is
in your eyes
And in your mind.
Maybe it's crazy to
fall so soon.
Give it all to you, hey, ya
But I don't care
what they say
Please promise you'll stay.
(air whooshing)
- You know what we need?
- What?
- A photo shoot.
- Please, oh my gosh.
Okay, just be like cutest
little sailor.
Are you sure your
parents aren't home?
- Yeah, they left
like an hour ago.
- Okay, well in that case,
give me your best sexy captain.
- Ooh, smolder, oh my
God, yes, I love these.
These are so cute.
Okay, now for this one.
So me a little different.
Give me like sultry eyes.
(Camera beeping)
(shutter clicking)
Okay, now look at me like
you just saw something
that you wanted your whole life
and you can finally have it.
- What are you girls doing?
(Naomi and Sasha
breathing heavily)
- What in the world is
going on with you?
(air whooshing)
- What is it?
- What is she doing here?
- Who?
- Good morning, Isaiah.
- Good morning.
- Hmm, morning Berna.
- I'm gonna use the
restroom, I'll right back.
- Okay
- What baby?
What is she doing here?
- We had a night.
- A night?
- A very fun night.
(Naomi sighs)
- Such a boy.
- Me, hold up, you are
a member in this tango
from what I recall.
- I slept with my boss.
- Ah, it seems like you two
have a lot to talk about.
So I'm gonna go.
If y'all wanna, you know,
get coffee
and talk about this,
just let me know.
- Mm-hm.
- Okay?
- Okay, thank you for an
amazing night.
- [Naomi] All right.
- [Isaiah] All right, bye Berna.
(Naomi grunts)
(Isaiah groans)
- What was she doing here?
- We had a night, baby.
- A night?
- Yes.
- Oh my God,
say we slept with someone.
We've never cheated
on each other.
We've been married five years.
(Isaiah sighs)
- So what you're saying
you regret it?
- No, I don't regret it. I
just hate how reckless we were.
We've never even talked about
doing something like this.
- You know what, you are right?
It was reckless and we did not
talk it through, all right.
You're right, but I don't know.
I enjoy myself, didn't you?
- Yes, but do you think
this is something
that you wanna continue to do?
- I, I just, damn, I gotta
get back to work, baby.
The boss is calling.
Look, you have the day off,
all right.
Take some time off to
think about it.
If you need to, grab
some coffee,
if that makes you
more comfortable.
But look, I love you, okay,
and this, this doesn't
change that, okay?
- Okay.
- All right, come here,
get some rest girl.
I'll be home later.
- Okay.
- [Isaiah] Okay.
- Yo, honestly man, I don't
know what to do here, bro.
It's like if I get caught,
I'll be putting everything me
and this girl got in jeopardy.
You feel me?
- Well, maybe you should
have thought about that
before trying to screw
somebody else.
- Excuse me.
- Look man, the way I
see it, you are married
to an amazing woman
whom you have fallen
outta love with.
Yet, you remain with her
out of obligation
and you're okay with lying
to her face in order to
get what you want.
- Man, it's not like she wasn't
having a good old time, bro.
She basically took hold
of everything, all right.
And what would you know?
Nigger, you ain't date
since college.
- I choose to be single
for a reason,
just like you choose
to be married.
If you don't want that man,
at least have the decency
to clean up your act.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up.
- You see that?
Yo, that's him right there,
that's the thief.
I'm gonna get his ass.
Nah, nah, nah, I don't
think that's him.
- Are you smoking crack?
That is him.
- No, we did not see
him, at least not today.
- All right, all right,
that's not him.
We didn't see him, this time.
- Let's go.
(water running)
- I cannot not believe
what is going on with you.
What is going on with you?
What is going on with you?
What you two doing in there?
- I'm sorry mom, it
wasn't like that.
- I did not raise you to
do that, okay.
I did not raise you
to be like that
and no daughter of mine
is gonna be doing such
stuff like that.
Not in this house, not
in this house of God, no.
- You're right mama, I'm sorry.
- You know what? If you keep
on doing stuff like this,
your father and I are gonna
stop paying your tuition.
Just wait till he
hears about this.
- What?
- Who do you think you
raising your voice at girl?
Look, I didn't raise you
to be like this
and that is not what
I'm expecting.
You know what?
I'm gonna find a way to get you
more involved in the church.
Couldn't be a choir girl
'cause you know your voice
never really sort of...
Naomi Jones, you get back
here right now, Naomi!
(Naomi mother's voice echos)
(Naomi talking softly)
(Naomi sighs)
- I really wanna call her.
Hey Bernnet, it's Naomi.
Isaiah went into work today
and I was wondering if
we could meet for coffee
if you're free.
One, one sounds perfect,
that'll be great.
Okay, I'll see you then, bye
- Hey, son.
- Ma.
- I seen Officer Fry paid
you a visit today, huh?
- And they seem to be
getting a little
aggressive with the shit too.
We need to do something
about his ass..
- Now that makes sense.
He's trying to scare you
into submission.
- I mean, it ain't just
me, it's everybody.
It's it's the loan
niggers, dealers, crooks,
that nigger's terrorizing
the whole hood.
- My entire operation is
going to because of this pigs.
- No, operation?
So while we out there
getting our asses, whoop,
what the fuck are you doing?
Operation, sound like a
whole politician
up this mother fucker.
- Oh now son.
- All my Niggers getting
their asses whooped.
- Son!
- You don't give a
fuck about them.
We all just pawns of your
grand operation.
What kind of shit is that?
- Son, everything
that I've done.
What's the dig you out of the
gutter that you were raised in
and I'm not letting this pig
tear down my entire operation.
- Is that so?
- Yes.
- Is that so?
So here you are empty
mother fuckin' handed.
What the fuck are you
going to do?
- I'm doing everything I can,
son.
- Everything you can?
- [Berna] Yes.
- Ho ho, everything you can,
wow, you, you got a lot
of, a lot of willpower
to do everything you can, huh?
- Listen, listen, if
Isaiah's on our side,
then we can take Emmet down.
Nah, nah, Isaiah on our side.
Why don't we just
kill that nigger
and get him over with?
- Think Ty, their cops,
their blood on our hand
is not worth it.
Now, if you can get proof,
then we can get somewhere.
- Proof, you made that
sound real easy, huh?
- Then let me handle it, son.
- Let you handle it.
So I'm supposed to wait
mother fucking right here.
I'm supposed to wait right here
and wait for you to
handle this shit?
Oh, get out of town,
that's real hilarious.
Wait for you,
I'm appalled
that you will even ask
a question like that.
- Son.
- Operation, since we
saying big words.
I'm a appalled. I'm
appalled you as like that.
If you can't handle it,
then you need to step away
so that I can do this.
- You can't.
- I can.
- Okay, I love you, son.
- Yeah.
- But let me handle this.
- Okay, go right ahead, go
right ahead and handle it,
fucking handle it.
- Hey, yah.
- Oh, hey, thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Thank you for meeting with me.
- Thanks for wanting to
meet with me.
- Okay, there's a lot
to talk about
and I really don't know
where to start.
- Well, we can start with,
was it good?
(Naomi choking)
- Yes it was, it was very good.
- Well, thank you and you
weren't too bad yourself.
- Is this something
you've done before?
- Be with women or
with a couple?
- Both, I guess.
- you can say that
I've been with several men,
several women.
Sometimes, there are a couple,
other times they're apart,
it's called polyamory.
- I've heard of the term.
So is this something that
you might wanna do again?
- Coffee or sex, Naomi?
- I don't know.
I'm just, I really,
I'm having a hard time
expressing myself.
- It's okay, just get
yourself together.
Take a deep breath and
ask a question.
- Thank you for that.
I guess what I'm asking is,
are you wanting to date
or have casual sex?
- Well, Naomi, the sex is good,
but I have to be
honest with you,
after working with you
and getting to know you both,
I wanna be with you.
The both of you, if
you'll have me.
- I have to talk to my husband
and as long as you can promise
that work won't get in the way.
- It won't.
- Okay.
- All right.
(engine humming)
- All right, baby, just
let me know more details
when I'm meet up with you
both later, all right.
All right, I love you too,
all right.
(car door slams)
- So it looks like y'all
working it out, huh?
- Looks that way, Naomi had
a conversation with Berna.
Looks like we gonna try to
give this thing a go, you know?
- So are you gonna
tell her about
what y'all two did
before last night?
- Nope, what she don't
know won't hurt her.
- That is so messed up.
- Nah, what's messed up is
how you let that purse
snatcher get away.
- Hey, what's up with that?
Hey man, look man,
I'm trying to use him
like we use Ty, right.
I figured, man, we keep
pushing on the kid, man.
We bound to get some pushback.
So why you ain't just say that?
Because, man, I just kind
of the hell you been
treating Naomi.
- What? Listen, stay out
my business, all right.
Stay out of it.
You should learn how
to treat women better.
(motorcycle engine revving)
- Mind your business, damn.
(engines revving)
(Naomi laughing)
- Hey you two.
- [Naomi] Hey.
- Sorry it took me so long
to get from the office.
What's going on?
- It's okay baby, how was work?
- It was fine, but me and
Emmet kind of got into a fight,
but you know how that go.
- Well, I hope it wasn't
because of me.
I don't want any trouble
outta this now.
- If he has issues
with what three grown-ass
people are doing,
he needs to mind his business.
- Can y'all chill please,
all right,
it was open something very,
very stupid.
But you know, we agreed
to take some time
from each other and
that's what we doing.
- It's okay, he just
need to be careful
how he talks about this.
- Right, because I knew
he had a issue
with me the night of
the nightclub.
He seem a little off a bit.
- Honestly, he's not that bad.
- Okay, all right.
I'm right here.
- [Naomi] Okay.
- So what are we doing?
- If it's all the same to
you, we would like to date.
- Date?
- Yeah, we decided, we...
- We want more than casual sex.
- Yeah.
- We just realized that we
have a special connection
and we wanna explore that a bit,
I mean with you, of course.
- Okay.
- So is that something
that you're gonna be okay
with us being together?
- Ah, I think we could
make that work.
I think it'll be cool.
- Okay.
- Oh gosh, now your word
vomit is contagious.
Lord, help us.
- Ha, ha, ha, whatever.
- I'm just saying, you...
- Oh.
- What the fuck?
Y'all stay right here.
- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.
- Okay, hey Zay sure
know how to run
- Right, he probably shouldn't
have robbed a cop's wife.
So should we call the police?
- He is the police,
everything's fine.
We're okay?
- Okay.
- Hey, look like he took your
car keys in the house keys,
but I left everything else.
- Lemme see, that's weird.
- My lipstick is missing.
- What kind of mugger
steals makeup
and leaves the money?
- Let me see, he probably tried
to empty it out when he ran.
I can go back to the trail
check if he dropped
anything else.
- No, no, it's okay. I
don't wanna ruin this day.
It's been really good
and it's like $20 worth
of stuff I can get back.
- So Nay, are you sure?
'Cause I'd rather stay and
get your stuff.
- It's okay, besides,
this is way more important
and a lot more fun.
- Okay.
- come on.
- Sorry y'all, I gotta go
to the bathroom.
All right, baby, hey...
- Oh.
- What are we doing?
- Exactly what I planned, baby.
We're together now.
- Yeah, but I don't know.
- About what?
Oh, you thought we
screw and be done?
Baby, I thought you
know me by now.
I'm not that kind of girl,
- But you using me,
all right and you using her.
This whole thing is
built on a lie.
- Well, I'm not the only one.
- What was that?
I'm not the only one.
You wanted this.
You wanted me and I wanted you,
but you didn't want her.
Oh, is that what that is?
You're jealous?
You can't have your cake
and eat it too, baby.
It is just the two of us
and nothing can stop you
right now unless you want to.
- Well, well, well I leave
you two all of three minutes
and you're all over each other.
- I'm, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry baby.
- I'm not gonna get jealous.
- See, we're fine.
He was getting jealous about
how much time we've
been spending.
Really, Zay?
- Just a little bit, baby,
a little bit.
- I mean we did spend
all day with each other.
So I think he likes us spending
so much time together.
- Maybe he doesn't like it
when you two talk about him
behind his back when
he's not around.
- Hmm, are you sure?
You don't want to see
what we can do together?
(gentle romantic music)
You can join us at any time.
("Looking In" by
Michael Vignola)
(gentle foreboding music)
(gentle foreboding
music continues)
(Michael Vignola's "Looking In'
continues)
- Bingo.
- What are you doing?
Oh, I'm sorry, I was
just feeling restless.
Did I wake you?
- No, I can't sleep either.
Well, do you wanna do something?
I don't really feel
like sleeping right now.
You know what?
I got just the thing.
(Isaiah snoring)
(Isaiah coughing)
- [Berna] Oh God.
- [Naomi] You ready?
- No.
- That's usually when
you need it.
All right, on a count of three,
three, two, one.
("Presence" by Aija Alsina)
- Ooh.
(water splashing)
- Oh my God, oh.
- Just sink.
- You are absolutely something,
nice call Mrs. Lawrence
- You wanna call me that again?
(water splashing)
- Oh, okay. Okay, okay.
So you swim often?
I used to, back when I
was pregnant.
It my escape from a
very hard day.
Isaiah hates pools, says
the chlorine agitates him.
Was he dotting you constantly?
I can still see him as
a helicopter dad, I do.
- No, not really.
He was working a lot back then.
He was working towards
becoming detective
and when he came home he
would get really upset
because I needed him
to wait on me and foot.
Well he is, he sound like
he was an ass.
- He was, but that didn't
ruin the experience for me.
I mean, I loved every
second of being pregnant.
I have a son.
- Really, when I was nearing
my senior year in high school,
me and my boyfriend
celebrated little two much
and when I found out he already
left town and switched schools.
So once I gave birth,
I couldn't hide it
from my parents.
So they kicked me out
and they took my college plan.
I'm so sorry that
happened to you, Berna.
Luckily, I was working
in high school
so I used the money I saved
and took night classes and
I got us out that situation
Nay, I did some bad things,
really, really bad things.
I bought us a house,
but the things we become,
it haunts me.
- It couldn't have
been that bad.
I mean, you're the best
person I know.
It doesn't work like that, Nay.
Like the things I've done.
I put my son through so much,
so much.
He didn't ask to be a
part of any of this
and now he can't escape
my mistakes because of me.
And honestly Nay, that,
that really does hurt
me more than anything.
- I, I can't have kids.
- Nay, I'm so, I'm so sorry.
I, I didn't know.
Was it the accident?
- Yep, I mean,
I knew then that we weren't
gonna last that long.
You know, it's been
obligation mostly
and the inability to
separate our lives.
I think that's why we
gravitated to you so quick.
How we've fallen for you. I
mean, how I've fallen for you.
But honestly,
I think we just wanna be free.
Thank you for being that
person for my time of need.
- Naomi, I, I...
- Shhh
("Presence" by Aija
Alsina continues)
(Naomi sighs)
- It's just all so floaty
- Girl, she has got you hooked.
- Yes, yes she does.
I mean, being with Berna,
being a part of this is just
a absolutely incredible.
But it made me
realize some things.
- What, that women are
better than men?
I thought you already knew that.
- It's not like that,
it's just the more
I'm with Berna,
the more I realize how
boring it is with Zay.
We're not even in love anymore.
We're just together
because we're married.
- Nay, do not even tell me
that you're thinking
about switching sides.
The grass isn't always
greener on the other side.
Sometimes the grass
is just dead.
- You know, I would hold
that advice accountable,
had you not tried to sleep
with Emmet the other night.
- Don't you dare try
to hold me accountable
for drunk Jillian's actions.
She's a crazy girl
with the body count
longer than all the lines
and all the clubs.
- I'm not even gonna dignify
that with a response, okay.
But have you spoken to Emmet?
Zay mentioned that he's
been acting weird lately.
- Oh, I think he was upset
'cause they ran out of
the really small condoms.
- What?
- Hey.
- Okay, answer the question,
seriously.
- Okay, no, I
haven't seen Emmet.
I'm pretty sure he is
still really mad at me
because God forbid I
drunk for it with someone.
- That's fair.
- Come on.
- Okay, are you excited about
the fundraiser ball tonight?
- Yes. I can't wait to
see you two together.
Wait, is Zay and Emmet
gonna be there?
- Yeah, they ask for
some overtime.
- Girl, how are you
getting away with this?
Like how's this gonna work?
I mean, is there a
throuple dance
or are you gonna make them
fight over you?
Yeah, you should make them
fight over you.
My money is on Berna there
because that is crazy.
She's scarier than Freddie
Kruger's ass sometimes.
- Listen friend, you need
to shut up about this, okay,
before I punch you.
- Punch.
- Don't spike the punch
this time please.
- I will make no such promises.
- I'm good.
All right, man, I put in a
lot of work to get you these.
Yeah, I know, yo, it's
just this thing
with Berna and Naomi,
got me tripping.
I thought it was between
the three of y'all.
I thought that too,
but it's like,
yo, they turned it to
"Thelma and Louise" on me
and I feel like I'm getting
completely iced out.
- Hmm, makes sense.
- Yo, you wanna get your foot
off my ass with my choices.
- What? Man, I mean you are
trying to fix a relationship
by creating a whole
nother relationship.
- [Police Dispatch] One, one
and one-four to cover 211 armed
at Lupita's market, 889
fourth Street.
- You wanna get his
ass this time
or is he still useful?
- He played his role,
let's get his ass.
- My man.
( thief coughing)
- All right, shit, I need
to fuck up out of here.
Now that shit good.
- Mr...
- Why the are you still in town?
I'm leaving bro.
I was just checking
on my baby mama
and the, and the babies
bro, that's it, bro.
- They put the call out.
They're looking for you.
You know I know where you
are everywhere, every time.
This is not going to work.
- Okay, understandable, that's
why I'm on my way outta here.
I got the, I got the
lipstick, the eyeliner,
little glary shit.
What you asking me for, right?
So you need me to
mind my business?
No. um-Huh,
no, I'm about to, I'm about,
I'm me,
I'm about to go mind
my business over there.
I need to mind my business, Zay
- Zay? No, me.
You should really learn
how to treat women better.
I treat my baby mama good.
I just, with that shit.
You know what they say
about skinny niggers?
- You know what?
My apologies, so you leaving,
right?
- Yeah.
- Wouldn't get the fuck
outta town, get out.
- Alright, Et...
- Get out.
- Lemme get some.
- Get the fuck on, nigger.
- All right, Et.
("Something in the Ether"
by Kyle Preston)
(gun firing)
("Something in the Ether"
by Kyle Preston continues)
(Emmet breathing heavily)
- Yo, its me.
- [Isaiah] Oh, man, what's
up? While we split up.
I could have helped you out.
- Yeah, I found him.
- [Isaiah] I'm on the way.
Do not fool.
- Well, he's, he's dead.
- [Isaiah] Dead, what
you mean he dead?
- Yeah, some nigger popped him.
- [Isaiah] I told you we
shouldn't have split up.
- Yeah, I know, I know.
I'll see you back at
the station, all right.
- [Isaiah] All right, stupid,
mother fuck.
- Should treat women better.
- Oh, so you got proof?
- You stop being useful
and your dumb about to be
a headline in the news.
So shut up and take
it like a man,
besides going to a good cause.
My partner needs it for
his leg or something.
- Got no proof for you?
Oh my god, son, are you okay?
- I'm straight, mom. I'm
straight don't worry about it.
I'm straight, I promise you.
Look, I just want the pig gone,
that's it.
- Okay, we'll confront
him tomorrow.
- Tomorrow, what the do
you mean tomorrow?
No, we do this today.
- Listen son, I understand that.
- No, today.
- But you need to go to
the hospital.
Plus there's some ramifications
that I didn't consider.
- Ramifications?
- Yes.
- What the fuck does that mean?
- It means that the
collateral damage
of this will hurt people.
Collateral damage,
the fucking collateral damage.
No, no, no, you don't get
to cut this off
just because you wanna fall
in love with the nigger.
Now, I gotta put up
with this shit
and fuck that, Ma.
- No wait, Ty, shit.
(tense dramatic music)
- You lying ass bitch.
- Who you calling a bitch?
Why would you snake yourself
into my life, fuck my wife.
All because my partner
was selling drugs
to your drug dealing ass son.
- While your adult friend was
stealing money for him himself,
he was stealing pills for you.
Every pill you took was
a pill taken from a kid
that was doing what he
needed to do for his family.
I don't owe y'all no
god apology.
I was playing the
game like he was.
So let this be the last time
you ever put your hands on me.
- If you think I'm gonna
let this slide,
you got it all wrong, all right.
- I'm gonna tell her even
if it hurts her,
but I guess that's just
what liars like us deserve.
- Hey, down walk away from me.
Get your God damn
hands off with me.
- All right, y'all made me
hurt my knee, lemme get a shot.
- Hey Jillian, Naomi, can
I please speak with you?
Oh sure, one moment.
- [Jillian] I wish I
was getting...
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
what are you doing?
Our coworkers, your husband.
He won't be my husband for long.
What?
I'm getting a divorce.
Listen, I love Isaiah.
I will always love Isaiah,
but I want this.
I want us,
- Naomi, I want that too,
but I have to talk to you.
I haven't been honest
with everything...
- Berna, there's a
situation outside
that requires your attention.
- Shit, excuse me sir.
Oh, shit, this mother
fucker nice.
- Okay, I need to handle this.
Just promise me we'll
talk later, okay?
- Sure.
- Naomi.
- What?
- Sorry, sorry,
are you, are you
leaving the gala?
- No, I was just trying to
talk to Berna, what's up?
- Okay, well, I can't
wait anymore.
I I have to say this right now,
Naomi, I'm in love with you.
- What?
- I've always been in love
with you since college,
since the first time
I saw you in the hall.
- Myself and Sasha Barnes?
We've always been close,
Emmet like...
- Yeah, yeah, but she
left and you were hurting.
And Isaiah, he's just,
he's too blind to see it.
But Naomi, I see you, I see you.
Even if you don't see me,
- I can't.
Okay, I, I can't do
this to Isaiah.
We cannot do this.
Wait, Naomi.
- No.
- Naomi, Naomi,
- Get your hands off of him.
He is a victim, not a criminal.
- That's right, today,
I guess I'm both, huh?
- Son, not another word
until you get a lawyer, okay.
Berna, what's going on?
Is, is this your son?
Naomi, I, I, I, I wanted
to tell you, I just,
- Oh, if it ain't the pork chop
for yourself, how are you today?
Lemme tell you something,
mother fucker,
I know you did this.
- Hey, calm down.
- Shut the fuck up.
This is you, mother
fucker. I know this is you.
And look, it's all right,
it's all right
because we going down together.
We all going down together, you,
me, Fry.
We all going down together.
- Berner, what the hell
is he going on about?
I, I, I didn't know this
is gonna go this far.
I was, I was, I was just
trying to save my son.
I was just trying to
save my son.
What are you talking about?
- Oh, you really
don't know do you?
You really don't know. Well
listen to this bullshit.
So she has been the both of you
on some freak, nasty to
get some leverage.
Some leverage because his
hoe-ass partner
came to my turf and
killed one of my niggers
- Look, that's a lie, all right.
- Bullshit.
- Relax.
- Fuck you, that's bullshit.
You know it's bull shit.
You know it.
You want to know why
that's bullshit?
Because you been
exploiting me for ages,
mother fucker.
For age, Y'all been taking
my shit, taking my money,
my weight, my drugs, nigger.
My means to live out this
mother fucker.
Matter of fact, you're
here, where the fuck is Fry?
All right...
- Officer Fry.
- That's enough,
hey, y'all can meet him
at the station, Zay.
We hopefully we can sober
up a little bit.
- Oh no, that was
probably the punch.
I think somebody spiked it,
I'm not sure.
- You mean to tell me,
everything we did was
to get to him.
- Naomi, I needed to
save my son, okay.
Emmet was gonna destroy
everything that I've built.
I didn't know that it was
gonna get this far, Nay.
You did not have to fuck
me to get to him.
- It's because I didn't
want to cheat on you,
but she wanted to get to
you to get to me,
the whole game of hot potato.
- How long has she been
trying to sleep with you, Zay?
Baby, it's not like that.
Berna, how long have
you been trying to sleep
with my husband?
Since right after the
accident, since day one,
since the day we met.
When I was going through
losing my son?
- I was trying to save my son,
Nay.
- And I lost mine
and you was becoming a
beacon of light in my life,
only to tear it down.
(Berna breathing heavily)
You killed us, you know that,
right?
- Let's be real about this.
We were only together
because neither of us
could leave each other.
If he wasn't so much
in the closet.
- Seriously, you blaming me.
- You put this in my face
so that you could feel
better about it?
- This whole threesome
idea that was only for you.
- You wanted that. You wanted
to feel free and you got it.
- I hate you Zay, and karma
is going to make you pay
for everything you did to me.
I'm gonna go stay Jillian's,
but I want you out of the
house and outta my life.
Come on, I'll call us a cab.
("Swept In" by Michael Vignola)
(car door latch clicking)
- Come on, come on, come on,
come on, don't be scared.
- Where you taking me?
- Hold on.
- What?
- It's a surprise.
- What?
- Voila.
Huh, look what we got.
- What is this?
- A house, baby, our house.
- Oh my God.
- Beautiful, right.
- I don't know, Zay.
- What?
- I don't think this would
fit that big ego of yours.
- Whoa now, this
house is perfect
and it's in our price range.
Got the trees, look at the yard.
- Okay, but can you believe
we made it this far?
I mean, we bought a
freaking house,
this is amazing,
- Man, I'm still hung
up on the fact
that I got you to marry me.
- Well, believe it, Mr.
Lawrence.
I plan on being your wife
for a very long, long time.
- A long time?
- A long time.
- I know that's right.
- Come here girl, look
at this house.
I know.
Let's check it out.
- Okay.
- [Isaiah] Check out
the backyard.
I got a pool.
- [Naomi] What?
- [Isaiah] Yes.
(Naomi and Isaiah laugh)
(air whooshing)
(soft somber music)
(door latch clacking)
(hinges squeaking)
- Pass the ball, Westbrook,
damn.
- [Newscaster] Can't get it in
and they finally do Westbrook...
- I got secret to tell you.
- What you doing?
- I'm coming in.
- Don't fall.
Why you rubbing your stomach,
need the bathroom or something.
What happened?
- We're pregnant?
- Huh, we pregnant?
- We pregnant.
- Is this real?
- It's real, baby, you serious?
- Oh, let's go baby, let's
go, Westbrook, let's baby.
Oh my God, oh, I'm so
happy to hear that.
Come on, let's go.
- Come on.
- Where we going? What's wrong.
We better go make another baby.
He already made the baby.
- It's time to get
started on baby two.
- Slow your roll, Isaiah.
Let me give birth to
this one first.
Hey, practice make perfect.
All right, let's go, let's go.
("Swept In by Michael
Vignola continues)
- Hey, what's wrong?
- I lost him.
- You lost what?
- The baby.
- Come on baby, it's not so bad.
(Isaiah and Naomi crying)
(Isaiah talking softly)
- I'm sorry.
("Swept In" becomes
more intense)
- Zay, Zay, please,
please, please wake up.
I'm sorry, Zay.
- Hello, somebody help
me, Zay, please help me.
- Hey, just have some coffee.
- Thank you.
- I'll be back in one minute.
What do you mean the examiner
won't hand over the body?
- The doctor said he
wasn't sure it was suicide.
Said the angle and the
gun residue aren't right.
- That's insane, Naomi
can't handle all of this.
You need to do
something about this.
- What to do about this?
I mean, after, after the
fiasco and the dance hall
and all this, I mean,
I've been basically iced
out of everything.
- I don't care if you
have to go in there
and beat the crap out
of him, fix this mess.
- Excuse me?
- You're responsible
for this mess.
You're the one that supplied
Isaiah with the drugs
that got Berna involved.
And then you finally
grew the balls
to let her know
about your crush,
the second she found
out how unhappy she was.
- Okay, so how'd you...
- Please, they might have
been oblivious
to your little crush,
but I saw it from the
first second I met you.
It's only a matter of time
before she realizes what a
little, stupid parasite you are.
- First of all, weren't you
trying to sleep with me?
- So I like to sleep
with men, a lot of men.
Clearly my standards are low.
Now, grow some balls and go dig
us out of this hole you made
before you bury us all.
(doorbell rings)
- What the hell are
you doing here?
Isn't your son about
to go to jail?
- Lawyer has him out on bail.
I need to talk to Naomi.
- The hell you do. I would've
smacked the out of you
for what you put her through.
- After everything I did,
I smacked the outta me too,
but she needs to know
this as painful as it is.
- Fine, but only
because I bet when
she jumps you,
she's gonna be feeling
a hell of a lot better.
- Anything else?
- Emmet is here, I don't
quite get all the beef
that went down,
but I will not have you two
causing a scene in front of her.
Is that clear?
- Crystal
- What the hell is
she doing here?
- She said she wouldn't
leave without talking to you.
- I am so sorry for
just everything.
- Cut the crap, I don't want
or need an apology from you.
You snake your way into my
life, take advantage of me,
made me believe that
you hang the moon
and the stars only for
you to tear them down?
What possibly could you
do to me now.
- I'm pregnant.
What the hell did you just say?
- I'm pregnant, look,
I am so sorry
for dragging you into
this crusade.
I never should have gone
about this the way that I did,
but I needed to do whatever
it took to save my son.
Now, I know this baby
doesn't change what I did,
but it is Isaiah's.
And if you want anything to do
with this baby's life, I
want that too.
I'm, I'm sorry, Naomi,
I'm sorry.
- I can't do this right now.
Jillian, I'm gonna go
take a rest,
talk to her about my
leave of absence.
- Of course, anything you need.
("Far Away" by Vero G)
Far away, just want to
touch your face
Look back at those,
those days.
Know that you are not
here with me.
Remember how we used to
hold me or kiss me so softly
Caressing, so gently,
telling sweet nothings
- Zay, tell me something.
And make you come, come back.
(dramatic music)

(dramatic music intensifies)

- Is anybody hungry?
- How?
How are you even
hungry right now?
- How?
- it's good to see you up, Nay.
Oh my, Naomi, put that down.
- How could you?
How could you do something
like that, Emmet?
He loved you,
- Naomi, I don't know what
happened, but put the gun down.
- Why'd you kill Isaiah?
- What?
- Kill Isaiah, he's my partner.
He was my best friend. This
is your gun I'm holding.
It was in my husband's safe.
You shot him after the
poison didn't work.
- Poison?
- The pills, they're
real from Ty.
But if you added special ones,
of course you did.
You wanted him to get caught.
You wanted to ruin him
in Naomi's eyes.
- But it didn't work because
he was trying to quit.
- But you got violent.
- Are you in insane?
Why would I do all of that?
Because you love me
and you would remove any
obstacle in your way.
But you left a few clues
uncounted for.
- Of course, I did
'cause I love you.
- Oh my God.
Did it for you.
You wanted him dead.
You wanted him dead, after
everything he did to you.
- You did it for you.
You killed Isaiah.
You got him addicted to drugs.
You got burn involved
in all of this.
You put us through all of
this over a stupid crush.
- Crush, a crush?
Naomi, I'm in love with you.
You are everything to me.
And after everything that
you found out,
he was keeping and
hiding from you.
- He was hiding it from you.
- He knew how
dangerous you were.
That task code on the safe was
only something I would know
if he left evidence from those
so-called transactions you made.
- Naomi, that's not
what it seems.
You gotta believe me.
I don't believe jack shit.
You killed my husband, Emmet.
(metal hitting flesh)
- Emmet, wait.
(gun fires)
- Wait please.
- Shhh
- You are so beautiful.
- Emmett.
. I'm really sorry about the
guy I hired the other day
to rough you up and
take your purse,
but I just needed to
get some of your things
because I didn't have a chance.
Of course, I should've
knew this ahead of time,
but all Isaiah wanted to
do was talk about
how you were in bed.
He's such a pig, but
he's gone now.
One less obstacle in our way,
come here.
- Emmet, please.
- Shhh, shhh,
I want you to smear your makeup.
(Berna moaning)
Every time I try to
do something,
it seems to be like something
that's always getting
in our way.
Hang tight, baby.
- Emmet, Emmet, please, please.
(Berna screaming)
She's pregnant.
- What the fuck did
you just say?
- She's pregnant and it's
Isaiah's baby.
- Is this true?
- I just found out yesterday.
- Shit, fuck, God damn it.
- Emmet, Listen, you've
already taken Isaiah from me.
But if you take this baby of
this world, you lose all of me.
- What?
- Naomi no.
- Shut up, bitch.
- Focus on me,
you've taken so much already
and I may never forgive you,
but if you let her go,
I won't run.
I won't fight and we
can finally be together
just like you want, okay?
- You won't say anything.
You ain't say nothing to nobody,
right?
I have no idea where
you're going.
- All I wanted was for
you to let my boy go.
And you, you, you did that.
Just, just, just take the
money you got for my son
and just, just, just leave.
- Thank you, thank...
I'm gonna tell y'all like
this, tell you real straight.
Get up, you say anything,
she dies.
You fight back and
that bitch dies.
Okay, thank, thank you, Emmet
- Goodbye Berna, take
care of this one, okay?
- I promise.
(door crashes open)
(tense dramatic music)
- [Naomi] Oh.
(Ty groaning)
- You, get out, mother fucking,
oh.
(fist smashing)
(gun firing)
("Swept in" by Michael Vignola)
(Naomi breathing heavily)
- I just wanted to be seen.
(Naomi and Berna crying)
- It's okay.
- So you confronted him
about killing your husband?
- Yes and he overpowered us.
It became a struggle at first,
but we were able to take him,
not without casualty, of course.
So what about the money he said
that he had for you guys
to run away with?
I never saw it.
The bag only contained
the makeup and the jewelry
that he stole from me.
Okay, so how did you
three overpower him?
Motherly instincts,
okay, well, looks like I
got everything that I need.
I will be in touch with you
and doing some surveillance,
- Okay.
- All right, thank you.
- Thank you, have a great day.
- You too.
(door latch clicks)
- Here, take this.
He's gone,
but it's not safe for you to
be in this town any longer,
not with two possible
murder charges.
- And what, I'm supposed to
just take this money and leave?
- No, you're gonna
take this money
so you can be free, free of me.
- I don't, I don't understand.
- Ever since you were born,
I tried everything I could
to get you out of filth,
just to realize I'm the
one keeping you in it.
You deserve to be free, free
to make your own choices.
Officer and I will not
stop you this time.
(Ty sighs)
- I dunno, ah, thank you,
thank you.
- Thank you, son.
We wouldn't have
survived without you.
What made you come?
- I guess because you need me.
- I did, I did son,
but this child needs me now.
And I am gonna focus on
every obstacle I had over you
so that this child doesn't
have the same problems.
- All right, mom,
- Goodbye son.
- Goodbye mama.
(Naomi sighs)
- So, is that it?
I think,
I don't have any more
skeletons in my closet, do you?
- Not that I can think of.
- Look, I'm, I'm sorry
for everything.
I really care about you, Naomi.
I, I do more than I, I
can really put in words.
I just, I, I, I didn't mean
for any of this to happen
or to hurt you.
- Given everything
that's happened,
I think we should just
take some time, you know,
take some time to just think,
even take some time about us.
If that's even still
what I want.
- I will see you at work?
Is tomorrow, Monday?
- Yeah, but I think
we both can take the day off.
- Yeah, we calling in sick.
What's another another secret.
(Naomi sighs)
