Previously on, if loving you is wrong. I'm taking the house.

And I'm taking full custody of the kids.

Thank you.

Perfect. You know you're not supposed to put that baby on a dummy. I would never

hurt that baby. He's beautiful.

I don't want that life anymore.

I need to be free.

Get the hell out of my house.

I hate you.

You better get the hell out of my house right now.

I got something for you to look at.

I'm not playing with you. Look.

Eddie, get out of my house. I'm not playing with you. Oh, no, no, no, no.

made you stop now, didn't it?

Better leave. What's your number, Natalie?

Eddie. Let me text this to you. I'm not playing with you. You better leave right

now. Your eyes aren't deceiving you.

What's your cell phone number? I'll send this to you in a text. Get out of here,

Eddie.

Okay. No need to be hostile.

I'm here.

I'm on your team.

So listen, if you change your mind, put my business card right here.

Please leave. Send me a text.

And I'll get this video over to you. You better leave right now.

Nice place you got here. A little Afrocentric for my taste.

But for y 'all, very nice. Get out of here, Eddie.

Take care.

You've reached Lucian.

Leave a message.

Lucian.

This is Natalie. You need to call me.

Natalie, call me.

Call me now.

I hate you.

I know.

Why the hell did you do that?

Because I can.

Really?

Yeah.

And because I wanted to show you something.

What?

That you know how to swallow?

Yeah.

Yeah. That I know how to swallow my pride.

That I know how to be submissive.

But most of all, I needed to let you know how stupid you actually are.

Stupid? Mm -hmm.

Just like most men.

Completely stupid.

Keep talking.

I think you are so smart.

You thought I was this poor little housewife next door, right? Yeah, that's

exactly what you are.

You are so wrong.

All right, why don't you, uh... Why don't you tell me what you are, then?

You thought that you were the big, bad snake and I was the poor little mouse.

More of an anaconda.

More like wrong.

See, you are just a tiny little mouse, and I'm this thing.

Girl, bye.

You just don't get it, do you? You don't get the fact that I have played you

since day one.

Alex, no.

I knew.

That you wanted me.

And I was in control the whole time. God, men are so stupid.

You did everything I wanted you to do when I wanted you to do it.

And this just now? What happened just here? I did that.

I did it.

And you're welcome.

You know, you...

You are so, so very naive to think that. Yeah, okay.

Get the hell out.

Oh, gladly.

I'm just trying to take your credit card.

You ain't taking a damn thing. Get your ass out of my house.

Get out of here.

It was worth the try.

You know what?

On second thought...

Yeah?

You know, I had you pegged from the first moment I laid eyes on you. Oh, you

did? Oh, yeah, yeah.

I knew that you were easy and weak and vulnerable.

Yeah, and I knew.

Oh, you knew. You knew. What did you know? You knew what?

I knew that you weren't in love with him.

Go on.

And I knew that you hated your life.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I did that.

You did what?

I went after you.

You can't stand it, can you?

You can't stand that I'm right.

Which proves my point.

What the hell are you talking about?

Everything you said is true.

Which proves that I went after you.

You're really not that smart.

Who's there?

Oh, him.

What the hell are you even doing here?

Hi.

Hi, whore.

Hi, bigger whore.

I think that was a compliment.

You're welcome.

Get you back at it?

Why, yes, we are.

We just had great sex.

It was better for me, though.

Think it's funny?

Have you ever thought about you?

You're funny.

Bitch, take your ass back in your house.

Bitch, take your ass back in your house. Oh, wait, you don't have a house.

Why are you here?

Why are you always around here?

You called the police.

I called the real police.

Well, the real police are here, dickhead.

Never mind.

They said that you said someone faulted you.

You know what?

Go to hell.

Is that not the case, Mr. Holmes?

Get out of my face, Eddie.

I can get out of your face or I can take you down to the station for making

false claims. Now, which one do you want to take? I didn't make a false claim.

Then who assaulted you?

Natalie.

Natalie. Yeah, yeah. You know her?

Dear God.

What is wrong with you people?

It's you people.

You people.

All you guys ever think about is violence and killing one another. What

is wrong with you? Somebody needs to kill your ass. Everybody's tried it.

Everybody's failed.

I'm Teflon Eddie.

Kiss my ass.

You want to press charges or you want to take a ride with me down to the

station?

Kiss my ass. I think that nasty bitch just did that, so I'm good.

Get out of my face.

No, I'm the law.

Why don't you take a walk before you come with me?

Best decision you've made.

We ain't done here, Eddie.

Never have been.

What the hell are you doing still standing here?

I'm just waiting for my ride.

What? What are you talking about?

Oh, well, if you want to give me a ride.

If I want to give you a ride, I wouldn't spit on your ass if you were on fire.

Actually, there's probably good things to just spit venom.

You already know that.

Okay.

Okay, and what is this country accent and these shit -kicker boots? What are

doing? What is this whole get -up that you're in?

Going back to my roots, baby. You know.

Going back to your roots?

Huh. Touch me again.

That is quite the ombre look you got going on. I'll give you that.

So what are you doing? Go in your house.

I don't live there anymore.

What are you talking about?

Exactly what I just said. I left him and the kids.

They can take care of themselves. I don't live there anymore.

Wait, what is going on?

Oh, there's my ride.

Better get your whole thing together.

Adios, muchacho.

Be on the lookout for my patrol car.

Come back, Officer Willis.

Listen, don't give me no shit.

I'm sorry, can you repeat that?

Yes, be on the lookout for my patrol car.

Okay, we can trace it.

Well, then start tracing.

Officer Willis, say please, please.

Please.

Let me tell you guys something. I'll get back to the station and put my foot in

every single one of your dispatch ass. Find my car.

It was stolen.

Three black suspects.

One 6 '8", looking like Tyler Perry. One 5 '9", and one 5 '11". Okay.

Any description of the clothing?

They're wearing jeans and those oversized t -shirts they like to wear.

And a bunch of bullshit.

Alex? Is he really lying to you guys about black people?

Get your ass off this radio and bring my car back here. You are such a liar.

I swear to God.

Her name's Alex.

I'm the black male that stole the car, except I'm a 5 '7 female. Listen, I

give a damn what she says. She stole my car.

Officer Willis, man, would you just tell us where the car is?

I didn't steal it. It's on the corner. It's not even 50 feet away from him.

just not even looking for it. She is lying, damn it.

Damn right I want to report this. Isn't this conversation being recorded?

Yes, it is.

Then write the damn report.

Will you just go and get the car?

Officer Willis, are you aware that I am a black woman?

Of course you're black. You're working a $9 job down at the dispatch station.

You racist son of a bitch. Shut your ass up. I'll see you back at the station.

That's it.

You have a knock?

Not really. What are you doing here?

Well, um... Where's the broad at?

Eddie, time.

Man, this is one crazy -ass little merry -go -round y 'all have going on. Then

why don't you get off it?

I'm trying to. I'm also trying to figure out what's happening here.

She's cooking.

She's cooking? I see that.

It's a long story.

I got all day.

Marcy, you cooking?

Yes.

What are you cooking back there?

Dinner, Eddie.

I'll be damned.

What?

Nothing.

Yeah.

So she just moved Alex out?

Alex decided to leave.

Well, hey, that's good news for you.

Give her all these damn kids and keep this house.

As long as she doesn't have the house, man, you're winning.

No, she left me with the kids.

that for a second.

Well, yeah, she did.

Should that be with this one, too?

No way.

Eddie, stay away from the baby, please.

Come on, Brad. You ain't thinking about keeping this little bastard, are you?

Don't you dare.

What's it matter?

Don't call him that.

Why? It's not like he's yours.

What's it matter?

He's an innocent little baby.

An innocent little baby that's not your damn problem. Who cares?

You know what? No, you know what.

Let's take his little ass down to the hospital and pass him off. Somebody else

will take care of it.

You never changed, Eddie.

No. Okay, look. If you don't want to go to the hospital, shelters will be taken

in these little... all the time.

Let's just go down to the shelter. We'll drop him off there.

Eddie, enough.

Okay. Get out.

Hey, right now is a great time. We can take him down to the border.

They're separating him down there. They got a little camp set up for him, all

kinds of things. Eddie, leave.

Get out. Why are you always trying to throw me out, man?

Because you're always acting like this.

Okay. Look, if Alex is gone, can I get one of those rooms up there for a little

bit?

No.

That's where my kids sleep.

Okay, well, put all them little rodents in one room, and I'll take your son's

room. I'm just going to go up here and check it out.

Don't go up there, Eddie.

I'm just going to go look around.

Well, don't touch anything.

No, I'm just going to look around, man.

I mean it.

Okay, just check those things out, not touching.

Why do you put up with him?

I ask myself that every day.

I don't like it.

Nor do I.

I don't like him at all.

Well, that'll do.

You're not staying here.

Come on, Brad, just help me out.

Why don't you get an apartment?

Why would I get an apartment when I got this place?

Eddie, there's no way you're staying here.

Come on, man. I'll even help you out financially. I'll throw you a couple

hundred a month. A couple of hundred?

Yes. What do you do with all your money?

ABCs, man.

Assholes, bitches, and cocaine.

Kind of in that order.

No, just leave.

I actually got to go because I have to grab some of my things before I head on

back. So I'll see you in here in a bit, okay?

I'm going to lock the door.

Just a couple outfits, Brad.

Kick the wheels on it, see how it works out, and we'll go from there.

And Marcy, you are filling out the A in my alphabet.

I don't know if it's that blue dress or the squat rack, girl, but that ass is

looking tight.

Get out. I'll see you both when I get back, okay?

Thanks, man.

What are you doing?

Just clearing the house.

Steven, he's not here.

You do not know that.

Yeah, I would smell him.

All right, well, I am still going to look around.

Okay.

All right.

I still can't believe that Alex would stay at a bar with a guy that she barely

knows. Hey.

I got to call Natalie or Marcy. No.

Marcy won't help. She doesn't care.

Look, I know she's your friend, but she seemed pretty... Drunk?

Determined to do what she wants to do.

Don't get it.

Don't get it. I would never give up on my kids like that.

No, she's not you.

Yep, she's not.

And you never know what circumstances are driving people to do what they do.

I know. You're right.

I've seen a few things stand behind this badge.

Wait, wait a second.

How did you get so understanding?

What are you talking about?

I like to think I'm a decent guy.

Oh, my God, you're a douche.

I am not a douche, are you? You dress up nice, but you're a douche.

You know what actually kind of hurts coming from you? That you think I'm

No, no, no. No, I didn't say that.

Eddie's not a douche.

Yeah, he is. Eddie is a douchebag, a tool, a crazy person who belongs in an

insane asylum.

Yes, I will agree with all of that.

Thank you.

For what?

Being a nice douche, you know what I mean?

You're welcome.

No, I mean it.

Thank you for being somewhat of a decent person.

Well, you don't have to thank me for that. Come on, I'm just being me.

But what if I wanted to look into making this more?

Yes. Why do you always get all the say?

Because you agreed to this. I told you from the beginning that I would be in

control. Right. You're in control.

Right. So you can stay when I come and go. I can tell you when to stay, too.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Like you want me to move in? No. No, no, no. I didn't say that.

I mean, like, I want you to stay a couple of hours so that you can maybe

daughter.

Wow. Yeah. We are getting serious.

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

Just semi.

Okay, whatever that means, but okay.

I'll let you know when that changes.

I'll be standing by.

Good.

So, would you like to meet her?

I would love to.

Okay, good.

Because this is kind of a big deal for me.

Eddie's the only man that she knows in my life.

Well, I think it's time for her to know what a real man is about.

Right?

I agree.

How much time do we have?

Don't even think about it. Stop acting like you don't want it as bad as I do.

I'm a girl, okay? I have to play hard to get. I have to fake it.

Well, lose the inhibition. Lose the dirt. Come on, let's go.

Thank you.

No, no, no. I mean we really don't have time. Stop it. All I need is like five

minutes. Come on.

Ian, can you come into my office right now, please?

Yeah.

Taylor? Hey, what's going on, Ian?

What's going on?

Not much.

Do you have the newer version of this phone?

Yeah. Yeah?

When your emails come in, do you get the notifications?

Of course. Can you show me how to do it on yours?

Yeah, sure.

Pretty simple, man. All you do is do this. Let me see.

I'll show you.

Move like this.

Scroll down here.

Press that button.

And voila.

Okay. Okay, so it's... Got it.

Got it.

All right.

Wow, man, this is a really nice case you got.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, my sister bought it for me.

Yeah?

Yeah. Have a seat, man. Come on.

Relax.

This is really nice.

Man, this is... I mean, it, like, forms to it.

It's really nice.

I can get you one if you like.

No, no, no, you don't got to do that.

Well, if you want, you can have mine.

I'll get into one.

No, I couldn't accept it. No, I'll give it to you.

No, it's okay.

Well, is that two?

Hey, Larry. Hey.

Let me get my phone back. Hold on a minute.

Do you know who just came in here about five minutes ago?

No, I don't.

That kid, Carl.

Carl? Uh -huh.

You know Carl.

No, who's Carl? Well, the hot shot public defender that got all that

to get Kelly off. Oh, right.

Right, right, right. Yeah, that Carl.

Yeah, yeah.

Why are you asking me about him?

I mean, how could you forget about him?

He was so good.

Why would I remember him, man?

I mean, he was so good.

I offered him a job.

You did?

I did.

I did.

Yeah, Larry, I don't think that's a good idea.

Why would you say that?

You know.

He's really green, and he got lucky on that last one.

You know, I was saying that the whole time. He just got really lucky, right?

Yeah, he got really lucky.

Oh, wow.

That's interesting.

Can I have my phone back now? I don't want to miss a call. Oh, wait, like the

two you missed?

I did.

Yeah, oh, look.

They're calling now.

Yeah.

Why don't you go ahead and answer it? Yeah, I will. Let me take it back and

call, man. No, no.

You can take it right here.

You know it's probably some girl, man.

We're both men.

Barry, I'm not taking my call in your office. Hello?

Hey, man, this is Carl.

Hey, I'll call you back.

Your guy called me. Can you talk?

Listen, I'll call you back.

Actually, you know, he has plenty of time. He can talk to you right now.

I'll call you back.

Hello?

Oh, wow.

Would you like to tell me about that?

There's nothing to tell. I'm trying to protect the firm.

Oh, protect the firm. Yeah.

Protect the firm.

You don't have to worry about that anymore.

Come on, Larry.

You're fired.

What are you talking about, Larry?

Did I stutter?

You know I'll bury you, right?

Well, I'd like to see you try.

You don't really want to do this.

It's already done.

Well, I guess I'll go clean out my office then, huh? Oh, no need.

I always done while you were in here.

You have a good day, all right?

You know, Larry, it's going to be a pleasure not to work for you anymore.

Sad to see you go, but... Oh, well.

Hey,

Dad.

Hi.

Hey, Miss Marcy. What are you doing here?

I'm just cooking dinner.

Well, where's my mom?

Um... That's...

What I need to talk to you about.

What's going on?

Come in, Fit.

Oh, this is never good.

What's happening?

Your mother and I have got a divorce.

She told me that.

What she didn't tell you is that she needed a vacation.

A vacation?

Yeah, she wanted to go away for a few days.

So she'll be back tomorrow, or she could be back the next day, but she will be

back. Wait, what?

Yeah, it's okay.

So, wait, where's she going?

She went away with some friends.

Is she okay?

Yeah, she's fine.

Dad, are you sure?

Yeah.

Why'd you say that?

Mom's been really upset about the divorce.

I know.

No, Dad.

She's been really sad.

I understand that. But the good thing is, is that I'm going to take care of

every day until she gets back.

Really? Yeah.

And Miss Marcy is going to be here from time to time to help out.

Okay, are you two dating?

What?

Simple question.

Yeah, simple question. Are you two dating?

Yes, we're dating.

I told you.

You knew what? We're not kids anymore, Dad. We know what's going on.

Yeah, you should probably apologize to us for trying to keep us in the dark.

We can understand, too.

I'm sorry for keeping you in the dark.

We just want you to be happy, Dad.

Mom, too.

And if it doesn't work out, let's try and find a way to be a family.

We already talked about that.

Listen, why don't we talk about this over dinner?

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

And we'll go upstairs.

Love you.

Love you too.

Well, you two did something, right?

I can't believe how well that went.

Yeah.

There she is.

Hi, honey.

Hi. Hi, Mika.

Hi.

Mika, this is Steven.

What are you doing here?

Oh, well, that's actually what we wanted to talk to you about.

No.

What? I don't want to talk about it.

Okay.

What? Why?

Because I hear you two having sex and it's disgusting. Mika, stop.

Dad already told me that he was a horrible person and that he'd be his

wife.

Okay, that's not true.

I'm telling you, I don't want to talk to you and I don't want him here in the

house. Mika, stop talking to me.

No, if he's here, then I want to go stay with Dad. Mika, stop.

Come back. No. Come back. I should probably leave.

Good. There's the door.

Stop being so rude, please.

I don't like him and I don't like the way he looks at me. He's never met you

before. Dad said he was staring at me at school.

That's not true.

I'll talk to you later.

You don't have to talk to her ever, okay?

Bye.

Bye and don't come back.

You will never, ever be that rude to my friend again.

And you will not be that rude to my dad.

Your dad and I are not together anymore, okay?

Because of you.

What are you talking about?

You're a whore.

You will never talk to me like that, okay?

You are.

Mika, your father is lying to you.

You're the liar. You made him leave. You did that.

Mika, come back. Come back here right now.

Lucian, I have called you four times.

You need to call me.

Hey. Hey.

Hey, how was school, honey?

Hey, Ma.

Hey, baby. How was school?

Good. Good?

Justice got into a fight.

What?

Justice, what happened?

He's talking about his mama.

I didn't start it.

It's okay.

But, man, they were just saying things.

You beat that fool down.

Frank.

What? You know what? Go take your sisters. Y 'all go do your homework. Go

Go do your homework.

Boy, get back there. My bad, my bad.

They just won't leave me alone.

And they keep talking about my mama. Okay, baby, okay. I don't do nothing to

them. Okay, I know, I know. It's going to be all right.

I'm going to kill one of them. No, no, no, you're not.

Yes, I am. Hey, hey, I'm going to get a gun. No, you are not.

You are not going to do that. You hear me?

Look, I don't even want to talk to you.

Well, you're going to.

Look, I'm just... Look,

I'm sorry, okay?

I know this is hard right now, and I'm sorry, baby, but it's going to be all

right. Y 'all keep saying that, but where is my mama?

Lord have mercy.

Lucien, where are you?

Please pick up the phone. I need to talk to you. You need to call me.

Hello? Dad?

Get on.

Mama was here with that guy.

Was she?

Yes. I told him to leave.

And... Well, good for you.

I don't want to be here anymore. I want to stay with you.

I know, baby.

I'm staying at Uncle Brad's house right now while they work on my house. It's

horrible here.

I don't want to stay with her anymore.

And she hit me.

What? Yes, she slapped me across the face.

Are you kidding me?

No.

Mika, is your face red?

Yes.

Listen to me.

I need to take a picture of your face right now and send it to your dad, okay?

Okay.

Dad? Why the hell did she hit you?

Because I called her a whore.

Well, the truth hurts now, doesn't it? It's terrible here. I want to come stay

with you.

Listen, I know.

I know she's terrible.

I wish I could have done a better job picking a woman to be your mother.

I wish you would have.

I'm sorry, babe. I really am.

Can you come pick me up?

I'll be there a little bit later, okay?

Can we go to a hotel?

Not tonight, babe. I've got to work the late shift.

She drives me crazy.

I know.

But listen, you just keep holding yourself together and you keep speaking

mind, you hear me?

You get that from your daddy?

Yes, and a whore.

Yeah, I know she's a whore.

I wish I could have done better. Mika? She's calling me.

Okay, don't go.

You mean I don't have to talk to her?

Absolutely not.

Tell her that your dad said you do not have to speak to her.

Okay, fine.

Okay, listen, I love you.

I'll call you in a little bit, okay?

Okay, bye.

Okay, bye, babe.

Mika, please come out here.

Dad said I don't have to talk to you.

Oh, did he really?

Yeah, so leave me alone.

Mika, I am not playing with you. Come out here right now.

Leave me alone, you whore!

Damn it.

Mika, please stop talking to me like that. Please. What are you going to do,

me again?

Look, baby, I'm so sorry that I hit you. I am.

But you cannot speak to me in that way. Do you understand?

Whore!

Hello? Ed, I need to speak to you. Yeah, you're damn right we need to talk.

Mika just said you slapped her in the face.

You son of a bitch!

You shouldn't have had that boy in my house.

Ed, I promise you, I am not playing with you. No, no, no, I'm telling you. You

think you're going to get custody of our little girl?

She's going to tell the judge everything.

You would use your own daughter. No, you're the one using her. I'm trying to

give my daughter a better life.

I'm trying to get her away from you.

No, you're the one that she needs to stay the hell away from.

I swear to you, I am going to... No, I'm telling you.

Bye, bitch.

Hey, you okay?

No.

I'm so sorry.

He's using her against me.

I know, it sucks.

I mean, I could say those terrible things to a kid. I mean, who does that?

It's Eddie. I mean, can we expect anything else from him?

I mean, and the worst part about it is that she believes him.

You just need to talk to her.

No, I can't do that right now. She's... You guys are calm and ready.

I know.

She's got the devil in her ear.

No.

She's got the devil as her father.

And that, too.

I hate that I did that to her. Hey, it's okay.

She'll be all right.

Thank you.

Of course.

No, she just wasn't ready.

That's all.

I'm sorry.

No, no, no. Do not be sorry. I'm not going anywhere, okay?

I am sorry. This whole thing is... Let her straight, all right?

Thank you.

Of course.

I just... Hey, hey, come here. Come here.

Thank you.

Things are going to change, okay?

What's going on, Lou?

What are you doing in front of my house?

I was having a nice little chat with Natalie.

Son of a bitch.

Oh, I am a son of a bitch. You got that right.

Damn it, Eddie.

You have no idea the damage you're about to face. She's mad as hell.

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay, Lou.

Hey, Kelly.

Don't talk to me.

How's the, uh, fresh air?

I said don't talk to me.

You about to walk up in that house where you killed that man?

Huh?

How you sleeping there?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't walk away. I want to know.

That man's blood's all over the foyer you about to walk into.

And you're able to lay your head down there at night peacefully?

Go somewhere, Eddie.

Yeah, I'll go somewhere.

I think you should go somewhere too, Lou.

And work on that marriage of yours.

Wow.

Must be good to be home.

Yeah, you know it.

Okay. You know what? I'm really sorry about that out there.

About what? With Eddie.

It's totally my fault.

No, it's all right.

Do you want me to talk to Natalie?

No, no.

I'm going to talk to her.

You sure?

Yeah. It's better if I talk to her.

Okay, but if you need me to come by, I will.

Sure. It's hard being in here.

What do you mean?

I'm just going back for a bit, okay?

You know what? I'm going to come with you. No.

No, I think you need to go home to Natalie.

No, it's okay.

I think she needs to think about this.

You sure?

Yeah. Trust me.

I'm doing the right thing.

Natalie, I know you're trying to not hear what I'm saying.

Go to hell, Eddie.

They've been in there a long time.

Eddie, I'm telling you. I'm telling you.

If I were you, I would go check on what's going on in that house.

And I wouldn't not.

I see the wheels spinning.

Eddie never lied to you.

I wouldn't knock.

Just put your ear up to the door. Tell me what you hear.

No, no, don't. No, no. Don't knock. Just go in. That's it.

That's it.

That a girl.

Oh, so good.

Next, on If Loving You Is Wrong.

I'll

tell

my daughter whatever the hell I want.

What are you going to do about it?

Beat your ass.
