Previously on Single Life. Is that mixed
up with him to keep me safe?

Oh, no, no, no.

We've been in business for a long time.

Mr. High and Mighty is a criminal.

Stay away from my man.

Which one?

Is that the food?

I'm starving.

You're back here working.

After the way she treated you.

This is something I've waited for my
entire life.

It's official, you mean, sir.

My God, Felicia.

I'll be back in six months.

You're still single.

Maybe you can try again.

You're trying to squeeze me out. David,
I told you, no, I wasn't. Miss Bloody

Blonde said what?

Okay.

I'm a sub.

You're what?

I'm a submissive.

I want you to be my dominatrix.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

The DA's office is investigating Frank's
jewels.

You have kept things from me over and
over again. I deserve your honesty.

Look, no offense, Deacon, but Cut has
nothing to do with you. Not yet.

Would you care to join me? I would love
to.

Just picked up a beautiful art deck on
that class.

What'd she say? Oh, God.

I get a third and you get her back.

Yeah.

And you say love city.

Crazy.

Baby,

listen, we're going to get her back.

Terrence is out there talking to all his
contacts.

Contacts who know Deacon.

He's going to figure out where she is,
and we're going to bring her home.

What would I believe anything you say
now? Listen, I know things have gotten a

little out of hand. But you know me, and
you know that I will get all this under

control. You call this a little out of
hand?

And to think, when we first got
together, I thought it would be my past

would be the problem. I never held your
past against you, and you know that. And

you know every last thing about me, good
and bad.

because I wanted one person in the world
to accept me, warts and all.

And I wanted to accept you in the same
way.

It was important to me, Malcolm.

Hey, we need to go.

So, Keith, you going to be okay here?
Yeah, I got my top security guy at the

door. She'll be safe.

What'd you find out?

Yeah, nothing.

Either people don't want to give up
Deacon, or they really don't know. Well,

got to keep calling around, man.

There's one person I haven't talked to.

My own.

Oh, God, you too.

Who hasn't this bitch slept with?

Well, hold up, Keith. It ain't like
that. She used to make all the money

between me and Deacon. Now, they always
use secret locations. She might know one

of his spots.

It's worth it to talk to her to see if
she knows something. And if she does,

would she tell you?

You think she still has a soft spot for
you?

No.

But we definitely have something that
she wants.

Let's go.

No, come on. Get it? Stop it. I'm trying
to get dressed.

I know, but why?

Dad, you gotta go.

Okay, all right. Well, go ahead and take
this all in one last time before Daddy

covers it up.

Really?

I'm sure this delicious image has burned
into your brain forever.

You're so crazy. Oh, damn.

I'm gonna be late for the Mateo
showcase.

Who's Mateo? This new act I've been
tracking is playing up the blocks.

Hey, why don't you just come with me?
You want your superior competition to...

Come with you to have a new act? Hold
up. I ain't saying like all that. I just

figured, you know, you here, you might
as well come.

This is nothing.

Are you trying to ask me out on a date?

Uh, no.

I just figured since I've worked you up
an appetite, the least I could do is get

you a salad.

Oh, well, I'll be ordering the steak.

I'm always happy to serve you some meat.

I'm so tired of having petite filet. Oh,
good one.

Okay, all right. Somebody's learning
comedy.

All right, Naomi, listen, it's very
simple.

You give us information that helps find
our friend, and we're going to give you

a percentage of Frank's jewels.

You were so dead set against it before.

This friend must be very important to
you. Look, if you know something, then

better tell us.

What percentage are we talking about?
We'll negotiate after we know that you

help us. Now, can you or can't you? Does
your percentage include hazard pay?

And forming on Deacon is dangerous
business.

Damn it, Naomi.

Talk.

They will give you what you need. I'll
make sure of it. My friend's life is on

the line.

I have an idea of where he might be
holding her. Good.

We need an address, and we need you to
distract him while we go and look for

her. Me?

You. No.

I'll give you the address, but I am not
going anywhere near that. You will.

Name your percentage.

25%. Baby, that's a force of the

company. Now... No.

This is your fault.

And you don't get to negotiate.

Ten percent.

But you take them there, and you
distract Deacon. Deal.

We're done.

Wait. Not until I get this in writing.

Ain't nobody got time for that. Well,
then thank goodness we live in a digital

age.

Put it in an email to my lawyer, Sean
Clark.

Right.

Okay.

Take a leg, because we got reservations
in half an hour. Okay.

I need to pick up this dress I ordered
for Felicia, and we're out of here.

Oh, look at this place.

What? I cannot stand it when Keisha gets
creative.

Oh, my goodness. No one is doing wide
belts this season, Keisha.

It is go skinny or go home, girl.

I bet Anna Wintour never had to put up
with this level of incompetence. Who's

Anna? Anna Wintour.

Don't know her. Get the dress.

Anna Wintour, editor of Vogue magazine.

Vogue? I don't read women's magazines.

Well, it's part of my job.

Just like reading those musclehead
magazines is part of yours.

I don't know the names of any of the
editors.

I'm going to go get the dress.

So how's that company coming with you
and Terrence?

Good. You know, I think we really have
something.

Yeah, I'm really happy for him.

It's good to see him do so well.

Especially with somebody so lovely.

Terrence and I are strictly business
partners.

I've known Terrence a long time. I've
never seen him like this.

Like this what?

So protective of a woman, ever.

Protective? Yeah.

I mean, he practically warned me to stay
away from you.

Why would he do that?

I've got no idea.

I've always been good to him. In fact,
we actually had business together back

the day.

Oh, okay. What type of business was
that?

Illegal.

Oh.

I didn't know that. Most people don't.

I've got many different businesses.

But Taryn was really important.

To the illegal business. But now he
wants nothing to do with me, so I

I'd come to you and see if you can help.

Yeah, you should probably take that up
with him yourself, because I don't... I

shouldn't really have any part of that.

Well, too late.

You already do.

Okay, well, let me rephrase that.

I don't want to be part of any...

You're out to business. Go right.

Define hostile takeover.

The acquisition of one company by
another despite the wishes of the target

management. Usually fighting to replace
the targeted company's unfriendly

management. Or you go directly to the
shareholders.

And I'm going to Frank's Jewels.

But I'm not on the management board, nor
am I a shareholder. But you are

somebody that Terrence holds dear.

Like I said, Deacon, I think you've
mistaken the entire situation.

I think that I need to just call a
cabin, but I'm going to head home.

You don't want to do that.

Oh, yes, I do.

Apparently so do the Franks brothers.

Otherwise, they would have cut me into
the deal when I gave them the chance.

I don't know what kind of deal that you
have with Terrence and Malcolm, but...

Locked.

Obviously, they want a bargain.

And you, my dear, are the perfect
bargaining chip.

So, how well do you know the Franks
brothers, anyway?

Enough?

Yeah, well, I know you know about
Terrence. I mean, practically everyone

Good kid gone bad?

But that's only half the story.

Yeah, and the other half is that he's
legit and trying to get his life back on

track. No, that's not the half I'm
talking about.

I'm talking about his brother Malcolm.

Who's built Frank's Jewels into one of
the most successful international

companies there is.

By dealing in dirty gems and dirty
money.

What? Do you have any proof of that? Who
do you think he was doing it with?

What? I need to meet with you right now.

I got no more time for you.

I want to make things right for you, and
I can.

Yeah, well, you can make things right by
never calling me again.

I found the marriage certificate and the
photos.

Yeah, well, good for you.

Good for both of us.

We're back in business.

I can't do this without you, Deacon.

You're damn right you can.

You remember that spot where you made
that first drop?

Yes. Can I come now?

Mark in the back.

You realize you screw this up, we could
all end up in a landfill.

I'll be sure and alert the Environmental
Protection Agency.

Go.

Now.

You're a very smart girl, so I don't
want to see you do anything stupid.

All the exits are already blocked by my
men.

Just relax.

Relax. Have a seat. You're not going
anywhere.

Have a seat.

I'll be back shortly. In the meantime,
Monty, you will be outside to keep you

company.

When I get back, maybe we can negotiate.

Not part of the deal.

My cut of cut.

Yes,

indeed.

There he is, late as usual. Hey, it
takes a brother a minute to look this

pretty.

Anyway, Keith, Ellie, this is April,
fellow PM employee.

Oh, wow, my brother actually has friends
at work.

Wait, you two are brothers?

Yeah. I know. I look so much better than
he does. It's a miracle that we're

related. I don't mind these two. They
will go at it like this all night.

Good. Someone else can take his grief
for a change. You look familiar.

Are you a musician?

I can't carry a tune in a bucket.

You've probably seen me on the news. I'm
a political correspondent.

Oh, wow.

Beauty and bring.

I like this girl.

I know. You would think she would be the
one blood related to a brother that

looked this good.

That's a first.

Good drink, guys.

How you feeling? How's everybody doing?
All right, ladies.

So, David, who is your gorgeous date,
and why is she with you and not with me?

April, don't mind J .D. He's one of my
oldest, rudest, perverted friends.

No, no, no. David and I aren't dating.
We work together. We are associates.

Oh, great. So, maybe I can get your
number so we can associate.

You are David's friend. There it is. She
says that like it's a bad thing. Uh,

Horned Dog, can you back off?

I see someone's a little territorial
over here.

Look, can we all just get ready to watch
the band? Some of us do have a job to

do. You two do look cute together.

Hey, cut it out.

Found it.

Finally. What were you doing back there,
showing it yourself?

I wish.

This is Bottega Veneta.

Their stitch work is legend.

Uh, this stitch work works.

I do.

You know, you could get those tailored,
right? And you know I don't care that

much about fashion.

I realize the entire world thinks that
every gay man is obsessed with clothes,

but a lot of us aren't. It's a
stereotype.

I'm a stereotype?

That's not what I said.

Can we just go eat, please? I'm
starving.

Hang on a minute. Unless there's a body
part in there, it can wait. Let's go.

They sent a size 8.

They sent an 8!

Felicia is a 2.

A 0, if anybody asks.

Can it be handled tomorrow?

Then the body part in this box would be
my head.

I've got to call the rep.

Get this straightened out right now.

Or to God, if he puts one hand on her.

You really like this girl, huh?

It's Naomi.

She's empty.

Parents.

If this goes bad, you just let it go bad
on me.

You're always trying to control the
situation.

What do you say we get in and get out?

Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands
together for Mateo.

The only other question is just how the

I ain't right for them. Maybe I'm out to
be.

All I want to do is catch up to your
feet.

This is the way that you say my name.

Love, I can roll up a perfect chair.

time.

Hey,

could you let me go?

Hey, come on.

Keith.

Let me go.

Keisha, what the hell?

Would you tell him to let me go?

I would, but I'm kind of enjoying it.
Keisha.

Fine. Then I'm gone.

Why do you have bodyguards at your front
door?

I just received an email from Malcolm
giving Naomi 10 % of Frank's jewels.

What the hell is going on?

I really can't talk about it.

All right, fine. Well, where's Malcolm?

Not here.

Malcolm would not give him this easily.

Something's not right, Keisha.

There's a lot that's not right.

Listen, I know I'm not your man or
anything, but I just want to make sure

you're okay.

And the truth is, I'm not okay.

And you're right.

You're not my man. We're not even
friends.

So it's nothing I'm going to get into
with you.

But thank you for your concern.

Keisha, this thing with Naomi... Hey, if
you want to get with that piece of

trash, that's your business.

But just know you're getting Malcolm Sr.

and Jr.'s sloppy second.

Malcolm and Naomi?

Neither one of us should be surprised.

When were they together?

Supposedly years ago.

But I don't know what to believe
anymore.

Keisha. Oh, let me guess.

This is the part when you say, I told
you so.

No.

This is the part where I tell you that
I'll always care about you.

No matter what.

And if you need anything, I'm just a
phone call away.

And the day I make that call to you,
it'll be a cold, big inhale.

I think our waitress deserted us.

Uh, J .D. probably scared her away.
What?

I got a killer smile.

There you go, killer.

Hey, man, put your teeth away, J .D.
We'll go get more drinks.

Keith, come on, you're helping Carrie.

All right.

That's a good idea.

I'm gonna go find this waitress.

The only thing she's scared of is losing
her heart.

To me.

I like them.

Even shady.

Yeah. They're good people.

You know, Keith and Ellie give me hope.

Hope?

What? Yeah, whatever.

Hey, you know, this is going to actually
go pretty long. I mean, if you want to

crash at my spot, I only live a couple
of blocks up.

Thanks. No,

I'm sorry to be a bother.

Girl, Felicia will rock you like no
other. It is a beautiful piece.

Thank you. Thanks again.

Woo!

Prices averted.

The new shipment will be here first
thing in the morning. Oh, goody. Do we

to wait on it or can we go eat?

I'm sorry, but this is my work.

This isn't your work. This is your life.

We're not talking about curing cancer.
We're talking about dresses and high

heels. Ian, I don't put down your work.

Go ahead. I don't care.

I'm not brokering peace in the Middle
East. I'm helping rich gay guys get

so they get more tail.

I know on the surface it doesn't seem
like fashion is important, but it is.

What you wear speaks volumes about who
you are. I just don't spend that much

time thinking about what I'm going to
wear. Which is what your outfit says

you.

You know what your outfit says about
you?

It says I'm a risk taker with classical
values. I'm a forward thinker who knows

his history. It says you're a dumbass
who paid $400 for pants with palm trees

printed on them. Whoa. Did you just call
me a dumbass?

Okay. You're not a dumbass.

It'd just be nice to go somewhere where
the cocktails aren't curated and they're

not serving anything artisanal. Well,
it'd be great if I didn't have to hear

debate the pros and cons of soy protein
versus whey protein. And it'd be great

if you didn't constantly talk about
Felicia and the girls. Well, I find them

interesting, unlike you.

Oh.

That was me.

I think we're trying to turn this into
something it's not.

And I don't think that I feel the way
you want me to feel about you.

Are you breaking up with me?

I'm not surprised.

I saw it coming.

Go get something to eat before your
blood sugar drops too low and you turn

the Hulk or something.

Raquel, girl, you are not going to
believe the night I had.

I just had to break it off with Nate.

And how come you're not answering your
phone?

Hmm, is your date going so well that you
are otherwise occupied?

And by occupied, I mean there's a no
vacancy sign hanging over the... Damn,

voicemail cut me off.

See the certificate and photos.

I didn't bring them.

I've got them hidden away somewhere
safe.

I'm not chancing anyone destroying my
proof this time.

You're going to need to have proof
before I get into it. I want to talk

changing my lawyer.

I don't trust mine anymore.

If I get you a new lawyer, can you try
not to sleep with this one?

Yeah, see, I know everything that
happens in this town.

What are you doing here?

I'm just here to make a payment.

I need to settle a few things with
Deacon.

I'll take it.

No, you won't, Amir. This is my money,
okay? My money.

You know I only speak to the man
himself.

Give me the briefcase and I'll pass it
along.

I'm not giving you a damn thing, Amir.

Go get Deacon so he can come get his own
money.

The only person that tells me what to do
is Deacon.

And you ain't him.

Hmm.

Okay. So tell me something, Amir. Is
this what it's like?

You know, being the hired hell?

Not allowed to speak for yourself. I
mean, not that thinking and speaking

wherever your best skills.

Give me the damn money. I'm not giving
you anything, man.

Man,

I told you that I would handle it. It's
handled. Let's go.

Yeah, Mr. B &E.

It's been a while, but I see you still
got it.

I'm out of retainers, you say?

I'm going to look for them.

I'll be back. I'll meet you back at the
car. Be careful.

I'll help you take over Frank's jewels.

But once you do, I'd like to take my
money and be on my way.

I'm done with Atlanta.

I'd like to start a new summer. Maybe
Miami. I don't know.

You look a little nervous.

You make me nervous.

If you had the goods, you wouldn't be
nervous.

I wouldn't be here if I didn't.

Yeah, right.

I don't think you would.

I'll be in touch.

Okay, but when?

When I am.

I've got to find the right lawyer for
the job.

I just want to settle. And it will be.
And when it is, I suggest you go

further than that.

Amir, you there?

I got eyes on the girl.

Amir, do you have your walkie on?

Amir, where are you, man?

Amir, pick up.

Good night.

How did you find me?

Hey,

you got eyes on the thing? Come on, man.

I'll come out of the car waiting over
there.

Come on.

You okay?

Yeah. Let's go. Let's go.

What the hell do you mean

she got away?

So what's really going on with you,
babe?

I mean, I saw the two of you snuggle up
earlier.

Look, we're not dating, okay? Not
dating.

All right,

we may have the occasional oops, I end
up in you naked again moment, but we're

not dating. I knew it.

I knew it. I know you. Look, would you
stop trying to get me to settle down,

man? Not everybody is a portrait of
marital bliss like you and Elliot.

Look, it ain't all bliss, all right? I
can tell you that.

Marriage is hard, man.

Raising kids, it's a whole thing.

Yeah, you love them little rugrats,
though, right? Yeah, more than my own

But they can definitely ruin your sex
life.

You might want to buy them an outhouse
or something.

You know, I seriously can't even
remember the last time we had sex.

Oh, yeah. I don't even want to picture
that.

You probably don't want to get married
then, buddy.

Because that's pretty much what happens.

You become roommates who spend all your
money on the house or the two small

people who live in it with you who are
responsible for ruining your sex life.

I'm just saying.

It ain't easy.

That doesn't happen.

I don't... Things have been hard between
me and Keith lately. It's none of my

business. Really. I have been married
before.

I have... I've been here. Look, I love
my husband. I do.

Please don't say anything.

No, I won't. It's not my place.

But you should really consider getting a
marriage counselor.

Just saying.

You guys want anything?

Yeah.

Okay.

Make it a double.

Sounds great.

Okay, you're safe now.

Am I?

Look, I'm going to do everything that I
can to make sure you're protected.

Deacon had a lot to say about you and
your past.

It is past.

I told you.

But I'm not about that life anymore.

I didn't go looking for him. He came
looking for me.

I believe you.

Terrence, how are you going to get out
from under this?

I don't know. I'm working on it.

He also said some stuff about Malcolm
you should probably know.

I already do.

Stolen gems in a money laundering.

How long have you known?

A couple of days.

Hey, look, it's getting late. You should
probably try to get some sleep.

Yeah, I don't think that's going to
happen.

But, um, I think I'm going to go take a
hot bath.

I'll be right here.

So is she okay?

She's okay.

He didn't touch her.

I'd never forgive you if he did.

Does that mean you'll be able to forgive
me now?

That's not what I said.

Listen, baby, I really do want to
explain everything. Now you do.

Only because it all blew up in your
face. Oh, for God's sakes, Keisha. Are

ever going to let me explain?

Or would you rather just be mad at me?

I haven't decided yet.

Hey.

Do you really think I wanted any of this
to happen?

Deacon could have taken you, Keisha,
okay? He could have taken you and that

alone would have destroyed me. Then I
guess you should have thought harder

before you got yourself into all this.

I'm exhausted. I can't do this with you
right now.

Yeah.

What you doing?

I was just going to come to bed.

Not with me, you're not.

So where am I supposed to sleep?

On the couch, on the floor, at a hotel.

It's up to you.

Keisha.

That was great meeting you, April.

It was so good meeting you.

Listen, take care of yourself, yeah?

Hey, bro. Come by the house next week.
The nieces will meet you. Will do, man.

You know what I'm saying?

You too.

Peace. We're out of bed.

Hey, you stay out of trouble, man.

There ain't no fun in that.

Oh, man. Have me a good time.

All right. Y 'all be good. All right,
boy.

Hey, the offer still stands. You're more
than welcome.

No, I should go.

All right. Well, are you going to be
safe to drive?

Oh, yeah.

The double I ordered was club soda.

Oh, okay, okay. That was good. That was
good.

So where'd you park your car? I'll walk
you to it.

Right there.

All right, well, I'll make sure you get
in.

Look at you, trying to play the
gentleman.

What, are you afraid that I'm going to
sign my tail from under you? Oh, you'll

be under me all right. There it is.

Okay, okay.

There goes...

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Although I don't think there's enough
cab in the world to calm my nerves right

now.

Hey,

I'm sorry about all this.

Deacon knew my feelings for you were...
It just

wasn't about us being partners in cut.

Yeah, he seemed under the impression
that you... He was right.

He is right

Go

Thank you

It had faced on the wind and rain.

It had been fought.

On single ladies.

Let me get that for you.

I'm having dinner with my ex -husband.
May I suggest that you'll never hit this

again, look?

And don't act like this lifestyle isn't
important to you. Don't you act like you

did any of this shady business because
of me. You're just a lying, deceitful

fraud. what's with your vendetta against
malcolm anyway malcolm's a wolf in

sheep's clothing or is it because he's
with keisha i don't even know what this

is i'll tell you what it is danger you
still got those judges in your back

pocket as a matter of fact i do
