Previously on If Loving You Is Wrong. The hell?

Wait, how much did you see?

It's a little inappropriate.

Oh, I'm sorry.

All right, but if you ever do anything like that again, you ain't gonna need

jail, because I'm gonna beat the piss out of you.

Smitty, you know you can talk to me, right?

It's Travis.

I'm trying to take care of you and me the best way I know possible.

If you listen to me.

I love you.

That's the one on the mission.

Really need you to leave.

I'm sorry.

I was here.

I don't know how they missed me, man, so I ditched the trash can, spread a

cloth, and I just took cover right here.

You all right?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

Yeah, man, I'm fine.

How about you, Yolanda?

No, I'm not all right. She's fine. She's just upset.

It's okay.

Are you crazy? This is not fine. Look at my house.

I mean...

I need to take my... Settle down.

Settle down. Can you take that to help her calm down?

Yeah. Yeah, she'll be all right.

Here.

It's water.

Mm -mm.

You have no idea who could have done this?

No.

This is bold, Eddie.

Yeah, you can say that again.

Put away a lot of people. With the suspects, it could be very long.

I know, Kent. I know.

I know who did it.

I know who did it.

I know.

Who?

Esperanza. You do not know that. Yes, I do. She did this.

What is she talking about?

She's just upset and talking. You're damn right I'm upset, but I know what

talking about. This is Esperanza. She would do something like this. She would

probably pay for someone to do this. She would pay for somebody to do this? Mm

-hmm. Come on, what are you talking about? She would never do this.

How are you so sure?

Because I know her.

Are you taking up for that bitch? Is that it? Because I know she did this.

you shut up and get in the house?

Do not talk to me that way. Let me tell you something. I'm trying to figure all

this out. You're not helping me. Please, go in the house.

Joe, wait until my father gets here. Just wait.

You are unbelievable.

That woman is way too much of a princess.

You married the money, man.

Yeah. I regret that I did.

Dad, Mom, are you coming?

Could there be something to what she's talking about?

What, man? We always look to the spouse or the ex.

There's nothing there, man. I'm telling you, you're beating a dead horse.

You sure she won't hire someone?

Come on, man.

You see her at the station every day.

Hey, man, I know. I'm just being a cop. I get it. I get it. I'm a cop, too. But

Esperanza would never do anything like this.

Yes, she would. She hates you.

What?

She does not hate me.

What are you saying? That she loves you? Is that what you're saying? Are you

still in love with her? Are you crazy? Go in the house.

You're still in love with her?

That's it?

I cannot compete with this. I'm leaving. Go in the house. Where are you going?

Where are you going? To my parents. You can go to your whore. I'm not going

anywhere. Not a bad idea, Eddie. Man, let me tell you something. Ain't nobody

running me out of my house.

Wait.

What if she's trying to kill me?

What? Hey, you're losing it.

When I get to the station tonight, I'll talk to Esperanza. Oh, man, she'll be

working. Nah, she does. She's been picking up extra shifts.

Where's my daughter at?

I don't know. You're gonna have to ask her.

I'm telling you, it's a dead end.

Won't hurt to ask, right? All right, if we're gonna go that route...

Help me handle it. I'll talk to her as soon as I get down to the station. Let

figure this all out first.

Why? So you can see her? That's why you want to talk to her? What? Because she's

not going to tell you the truth. What the hell is wrong with you? You!

You are what's wrong with me.

God, she's like destroying our relationship.

And now she wants to kill him. You have to have her arrested.

Oh, my God. Get your ass in the house. Last time.

No!

Yolanda.

Now maybe just let her go.

Now, she'll be safe there with them tonight.

We're gonna go talk to Esperanza. Man, I'm telling you, I don't know why you

want to do it. There's nothing to it.

All right, but talking to her's not gonna hurt, right?

Listen, all protocol.

Do what you gotta do. All right, man, but you cannot stay here tonight. Are

crazy?

Man, I wish they would come back here.

Yeah, and that's the problem.

Let me tell you something, Captain. I know, man. I know what you're feeling,

it's fine.

This is some little punk that did this to me.

If I had three wishes, I wish, I wish, I wish she'd bring his ass back here.

No, you do not, Eddie.

You do not want him coming back here, lighting your house up once again,

your wife, potentially taking your life.

It's not going to happen.

All right? This is bad news.

You got me?

I got you.

All right.

Try to get some sleep.

We're going to leave some officers here tonight.

I want to see you in my office first thing in the morning.

Sounds good, man. I'll see you there.

All right.

So, how do I look?

Like an undertaker?

You look great.

Good luck.

Is he sleeping here again tonight?

Yes, he is.

See you later, baby.

See you later.

Later, big head.

Wait, you don't have no house?

You better be glad your ass is in my damn house.

Now be quiet.

You ain't got no damn house.

Hey.

Esperanza, call me. Yeah, I want to ask you about this job interview that Edward

set up for Lucien.

Okay? Thanks.

Hey. Hey.

How you doing, Joey, with your cute stuff?

How you doing, Miss Jack? Yeah, I'm fine. Baby, I'm not that much older than

you. Okay, where's your mama at?

Hey, Jack, I'm right here. Hey.

You ready?

Yep. Thanks for the ride. No problem.

But don't forget to meet your brother at the bus stop, okay?

Oh, here.

What's this?

The classifieds. You don't know what that is? I gave it to you last time.

You don't have a job, so that means your job is finding one. Start looking

today, all day, and be at the bus stop to get them on time.

Right, right.

Bye, Kelly.

And don't have nobody in my house, either.

Unless it's me.

Why don't you get him to

work with us?

Jackie. What?

Will you stop?

I'm just saying. I mean, what did I say wrong? Look, I don't want him working

with me.

He did before.

Let's go. Let's go.

He look good coming out of jail, girl. He look like he lift a lot of boxes.

Will you leave my son alone?

I'm just saying, he's cute.

What time is it?

It's eight.

Oh, I have to get the kids to school. No, they're already on their way.

Why did you let me sleep in so late?

Because you're tired.

I have so much to do today. Not today. Today you're going to rest.

Brad.

What?

You've been so busy with the kids recently.

I just wanted you to sleep in.

Honey. You could barely keep your eyes open at dinner last night.

All right, you're tired.

I know, but I have to go to the grocery store and the cleaners. And the shoe

repair and mail the bills at the post office.

And you've got to go meet with Paisley's teacher.

He's on my list.

And I'm going to do all of that today.

No, you're not.

Yes, I will. Come here.

I want you to rest.

I mean, you know how important the first trimester is.

Yes, I know.

What did I do to deserve you, huh?

I don't know.

Okay.

Do you want me to rest, or is this all just a setup for a morning quickie?

Hey.

Hey, man.

How are you?

I'm good.

Oh, hi, Marcy. Hey, Brad.

You're on your way to work?

Yeah.

What's going on?

I was just thinking, it's been a long time since we've all gotten together.

Yeah. Yeah, well, you know, you two have been so busy.

Yeah, well, not tonight, because I had convinced Alex to stay home and rest all

day. So we can have a nice evening. And I was thinking, how about game night?

Oh, wow. How long has it been?

I don't know.

Three, three, four months. That was so much fun.

It is, right?

Yeah. Yeah. What happened, honey? Why'd we stop?

I don't know.

You're right. That sounds like fun. Let's do it.

Tonight after dinner.

All right. We'll be there. Oh, no, I can't. I have the thing for work. You've

got nothing. You just said you were free. See, that is why we never play.

See, Alex, the thing.

There's always an excuse.

Really? Yeah.

Well, see, that's why we have to be the ones to make it happen.

My place.

Game night.

After dinner.

Be there.

Bye, Ken.

Bye.

Game night.

Game night.

All right.

I'll see you tonight.

See you tonight.

Hey, Esperanza.

Hey.

What's going on?

Look, did you give Lucian a recommendation to get on the force fair?

Yeah, that was two months ago. You know, Ed's blocking it.

Yeah.

I thought so. He invited him in for an interview.

What? Yeah, now Lou's all excited.

Why would he do that?

I was going to ask you the same thing.

I have... No clue. Well, you know, I don't trust him.

Oh, no, that makes two of us.

Yeah. Hey, did you, uh, talk to your boss about Edward?

Not yet.

I... Why not?

I just... What?

Esperanza, are you scared of him? No! Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure. I just want him to leave me alone.

And plus, look, I picked up some extra night shifts, so...

trying to make more money so that I don't need his money.

Yeah, well, you need to get another job.

I know. I'm working on it.

Oh.

I'm even looking into going back to school, so... Yeah, well, do something.

I'm trying.

I know.

Hey, look, if you need me for anything, girl, you know I'm here.

Maybe just to, um, help me babysit Mika when I pick up these extra night shifts?

Yeah, yeah, no, that's fine. That's fine. Oh, you know what?

I gotta go. My boss just walked in. Bye.

Hey.

Natalie, look who's here.

Hey. Hi.

Here are the receipts.

Thank you. Has my father stopped by yet? No.

Okay, well, he's coming.

Well, why do you say it like that?

Marcus Street's not doing so well, so he's in a mood.

You know how that is. Yes.

Well, I guess this wouldn't be a good time to ask him.

Ask him what?

About her son working here.

Wait, your son Joey?

What are you saying? He needs a job. He can work the night shift with Tyrell.

No, no, no way. How is he?

He's fine.

Wow. He's a free man now. Yes, he is.

And he needs a job.

He'll find one.

He could work here.

Come on. He could work here. He used to. He worked here before. He was 16.

And if I recall, he did a good job that summer.

Yep.

Yep. So, you're for this?

Yeah.

Look, he's changed a lot.

Mm -hmm. You just hire him. My father doesn't work nights. I handle the

so he won't know.

You can let him work from 3 to closing.

No.

Yes. Natalie, do it.

You sure?

Yeah, we could use the help.

Listen to the lady. Will you go to work? I am.

I'll think about it.

The longer you think about it, the longer he's not making any money.

Let him come.

It'll be good to see him.

Kelly? Yeah?

Is someone here to see you?

Oh, who?

Travis.

Kelly. Kelly.

What? Kelly, Kelly, please, Kelly. What? What? Please, what?

Kelly, you had no idea how much it was hurting me.

Are you serious?

Yes, this hurts.

You're hurting. Yes, Kelly, just talk to me.

What do you want me to say?

Congratulations.

No, Kelly.

I just want you to understand.

Understand? Oh.

I understand.

Okay. Yeah, I understand.

I understand that your ass lied to me.

I understand that you were away doing God knows what with God

knows who.

I understand that I was here building a life for us, Travis.

Yeah, and I understand that I was stupid.

I was stupid because I thought you loved me.

I thought that I was building a home for us.

I was just... Out of it, Travis.

I understand that that was her, wasn't it?

The real pretty one.

With the light skin and the long hair.

That was her, wasn't it?

Kelly.

I didn't want this to happen.

Yes, you did.

Yes, you did.

Because if you didn't want it to happen, it wouldn't have happened.

Yeah, this whole time I was building a life for us, and you were off making

plans with someone else.

Admit it.

Admit it, Travis, just admit it!

Admit it!

It didn't happen like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it did.

You know exactly what happened, Travis.

Tell me, fine, then tell me, how did it happen?

Kelly, I love you.

I want this to happen to you, and I promise.

No, no, no.

Yeah, that's BS.

That's BS, because if you didn't want it to happen, my God, it wouldn't happen.

Can you just try and understand?

Oh, I understand.

I already told you, I understand.

I understand, Travis.

Well, I was here getting a house for us, Travis.

You were off having sex with somebody else. No, Kelly.

Kelly, I didn't sleep with her.

She's different.

She wants to wait until we get married.

She's different.

Different from me.

Yeah, yeah, because it's my fault, right?

And we made love, right?

That was my fault.

That was my fault, yeah, because I changed as a minister's son.

It was my fault that I loved you and I wanted to make love to you. Guess what?

You wanted to make love to me, didn't you?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, Kelly, I loved him.

So stop trying to make me out to be some kind of whore. Kelly, that's not what

I'm doing.

You know what? You're right.

Yeah, that's your mom's job.

She never liked me. She always hated my guts.

Kelly, she does not hate you. Oh, then what is it?

Kelly.

Can you please just understand?

Can you please just get the hell out of my life? I can't do that. Can you get

the hell out of my life? I don't want to see you ever again.

Kelly, I can't do that.

I love you too much.

Bye.

What about Justin?

Don't worry about my son ever again.

Kelly, no, not like this. Please, Kelly!

Hey, man.

Yeah. Did I have you run Julius Escada for me?

Yeah, I did.

And he was clean?

Yeah, he was.

Why?

I keep getting this, man. Come here.

What is this?

That's what I got.

What is this? I've never seen this screen before.

Wait, wait, wait.

It's been flagged by the FBI. That's why we have no info.

So why the hell would you tell me this guy's clean?

Relax. Your lack?

It's got him. It's got him as an old man. Julius is his son.

I'm not following you, man. Explain what you're talking about, Cody.

You know, the captain over here was after him. And we got pulled off by the

He can't even touch him.

The whole damn family's being watched.

So he's a cartel.

Big time.

Why?

Does this have something to do with the shooting at your house?

No, man. I'm just curious.

Why? Why you got 21 questions, man? Mind your damn business. Get out of here.

Oh, okay.

Now you're done with me? Okay.

Appreciate it.

Honk.

Hey.

Hey, what's going on, man?

How are you?

Thanks for calling me, man. Yeah, no problem.

Thanks for your help the other day.

No problem.

Hey, I told my captain how you handled yourself.

You take it from there, all right?

Thanks for putting in the good work.

No problemo, man. You ready for this?

Absolutely. Okay.

Hey, listen.

I'll be straight up with you. I don't know you, but you know I work your

neighborhood. I don't need some punk with a white boy partner. I need a

just like you.

Brother?

Yeah. The hell you think I'm doing this for? I need a brother, son.

Running around with these white boys, I need a park.

What's a park?

People of color.

You ready for this?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm your man.

Good. I can lead you to water, man. I can't make you drink.

You handle your business in here.

Hey, Cap.

The guy I was telling you about, I want him with me.

How you doing, Captain?

Lucian, yeah? Yes. All right, right this way.

Heard you're a vet.

Yeah, two years in Iraq.

Two years, all right. Five years for myself.

Take a seat.

What are you doing, officer?

Easy, easy.

I'm not here to talk to internal affairs about you. It's not my style.

Then what the hell are you doing here?

We have business.

Our business is here.

No legal, no Miranda, no court.

Just me and you.

I'll be ready.

You shoot up my house?

Are you a Latino, officer?

You don't look Latino to me, but you look like you want to be.

Man, answer the question. Maybe that's why we have this mutual interest.

This Latino thing you want to be.

What, are you getting mad?

You're in control because you're here.

That's cute.

You know what?

You should arrest me again.

Shoot me.

Lock me up for three days until I wake up.

Answer the question right now.

You should buy off them. Me?

No way, officer.

Not you?

And who?

You have no idea what kind of enemy you just made.

I mean, you brought hell to your house.

Front door to your wife.

And when I'm done having fun with you, when I feel that we're even...

You will die.

You will die.

Take that.

Take that.

Take that.

Here.

Yo.

Jay, you out? Yo, what's up?

My man's is out!

What's happening, man?

You know, nothing much. Just hanging out.

Yeah? Okay, so, I mean, that's good.

Look at you.

They got my man in the street babysitting.

You know, I babysit, man. Just had to go pick up Frank from the bus.

So what?

You hanging?

Nah, man.

What you worried about them little rugrats, man? Later for them. We can

them by my sister's house. She can watch them. I told you, man. I'm babysitting,

man. You know, I got the little one.

Yo, I'll call Mike. Ben, we got to celebrate you being back on the block.

to enjoy popping.

Come on, man. I can't.

But you scared of your mama?

No, man. I just can't.

You just scared?

Look, I can, all right?

What's up, little man?

Yo, Frank, go up there, man. I'll catch up with you, all right?

I ain't going nowhere as long as you tell me, fool.

Now, Joey.

Look, you know we need you back. Come on, Joey.

I mean, the way you had us both.

Man, you know that wasn't me, man.

All right.

You know I respect that.

Cool. You know where to find me, though, right?

Well, Jay, glad you're home, man.

See you.

You don't need to be talking to him.

What you know about that, man? You sound like Mama.

He's selling crack, and he look like he's over it. Man, you better not let me

catch you doing it, all right? And you better not let Mama catch you talking

about it. Frank, get in the house.

You better open the door.

Great. Darling, that was beautiful. Good job.

Yay.

Peter, why don't you take Paisley upstairs, clean your room, and then both

ready for bed.

But it's not even dark outside.

Darling, it is 8 o 'clock.

Time to go upstairs and go to bed.

Go.

I'll be up in a little bit, okay?

Why aren't you drinking?

I just, I don't want any right now.

Oh, come on. I brought your favorite wine.

Help you sleep.

No.

Come on.

Marcy, she said she doesn't want any.

Okay, okay.

And maybe you've actually had a little too much. And maybe I have.

But you know how it is when I get a little buzz?

And you get down all night.

I feel like tonight's one of those nights.

Maybe you do.

Wow.

Well, if this wine has that kind of effect, I'm going to drink some more.

You sure you don't want some money?

All right.

Next question.

Would you have sex outside to keep your marriage spicy?

What?

What kind of questions are these? It's an adult game for married couples.

Who bought it?

I did. You told me the shoes, remember?

Right, so I'll ask my husband first.

What are you so funny?

We were trying to get away from my parents on vacation.

We went out into the woods, and he put me up against an oak tree. And I got

poison ivy all over my head.

It was all over my legs.

It was bad. It was really bad.

Imagine trying to tell that to her parents.

We learned pretty quickly.

Only the bedroom. Yeah.

Well, maybe the two of you should head home then.

Why?

Well, you're all over each other.

Maybe you'd like some privacy.

Not often, so that's what I can get.

It's not often?

No. Every time I see you guys, Randall gets his hands all over you.

Well, maybe you and Alex bring out the horny in him.

That is not true.

We have this on our own?

Yeah, like the other day. Yeah.

Yes. Yeah.

Right. Next question. Okay.

Here goes.

Who created these?

One of Randall's psychology friends.

Yeah, yeah. He created it to keep spice and truth in the marriage.

Honey, you are sweating both. I've seen you on trial, and you're not sweating as

much. What's wrong with you?

It's really hot in here. No one knows I'm sweating?

Super hot.

I mean, it's probably just wine. What kind of wine is this?

It's a juice.

What's the question?

If you were attracted to someone else, would you tell your spouse?

Alex, it's your turn.

I'm not really in the mood to play right now, so you guys... Oh, God.

Honey.

I can't. I can't. I'm sorry. Alex, man up. Come on, don't cop out on us. We're

just hanging out.

Yeah.

Man up?

Yeah.

Randall and I told you about our wild times.

Come on.

Well, if your sex life is that amazing, then why is it that you feel the need to

announce it to everyone?

Then do it on the counter.

In the middle of the day.

The blinds wide open.

And now here we are in my living room discussing it. This isn't the

that I would like to be having.

Right now, not in my household, so... I've talked to you about that, Marcy. I

find it disgusting.

Honey. Sorry.

I'm not feeling very well, so I'm going to have to bed.

Okay?

Honey.

No, no, no, no.

You stay down here and play your little game.

I'm sorry, Guy.

No, no, it's... Don't worry about it. We should probably get going. Yep. Yeah.

We should get going.

Yeah, yeah, I understand that.

Hey, man.

Hey. Have a good time.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to upset her.

That's all right. It should be fine.

See you soon.

Hello, Kelly.

Travis here?

No, he's not.

Congratulations.

You did it.

I did what?

Oh, you sent him off to be with that young lady, didn't you?

You were pretty sure he was going to like her, huh?

Well, I was hoping he would.

I mean, you're a nice woman, Kelly, but you're just not right for my son.

Why?

Why? What is it? Is it the fact that I have a son?

Or maybe it's where I came from.

Or is it I'm a little too dark for your family?

Huh?

My hair is a little bit too kinky? Is that what it is? Why? Please tell me.

What?

Why would you go there?

You've just pointed out to me the very things that you have issues with for

yourself.

I'm a black woman.

I don't care about your complexion or your hair or that you have a son.

All I care about is mine.

My son.

All I care about is that you are several years older than he is.

That he was a virgin when he met you.

That he was naive and you seduced him.

All I care about is that he didn't want to finish school.

All he wanted to do was get married.

And I knew he hadn't had a fair chance at life, at dating.

You're going to thank me one day, Miss Kelly.

You're going to thank me for saving you from the heartache of watching a man

break your heart over and over again.

Because...

He's still a boy inside, trying to become a man.

I allowed you a path through the pain of the

affairs and the insulting lies.

He's not ready for you.

You're too mature for him.

Now he's with somebody who's closer to his age.

Someone that, well, they can make mistakes together.

At a pace of pain that's more appropriate for his age.

At a pace that a mother's love can keep up with.

You should thank me.

And thank you.

Thank you for pointing out the issues that you have.

It's late.

I know.

I really need to talk to you.

Well, what is it?

You still talking to that guy?

No. I don't pick up his phone calls. I don't... Good, because, listen, he's bad

news.

I know.

But... I made a mistake, okay?

I need to know everything you know about this guy.

Ed, I told you everything.

You... You came to my house and you went through all my things, remember?

Why are you... Are you shaking?

Yeah.

Where does this guy hang out?

I'm not telling you that.

You have to. Listen to me. Something horrible just happened.

I need to know everything you know about him. Where does he hang out?

Where did you meet him?

You said that he was bad news. I'm leaving him alone. What is wrong with

Listen, somebody followed me home.

I shot up the whole damn place.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Oh, my God.

Listen to me.

Somebody sprayed my whole house.

Yolanda's fine, too, so don't act so damn happy about that.

Really? Okay, maybe I don't like her. I don't want her dead, Ed. Listen to me.

Please, I'm begging you. Tell me everything you know about this man. I'm

giving you information to go retaliate. This is life or death.

You're in trouble.

I'm in trouble. Mika's in trouble. We are.

This is crazy.

Ed, you started... I know, and I'm going to finish it.

But listen, I'm the law. Nobody gets to come and spray my house up.

Now tell me what you know about it.

Please. I'm not going to give you information for you to go retaliate. I'm

doing that. You have to.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Ed, please don't do anything.

Please just let me talk to him. Please just calm down.

I'm begging you, Ed. Please.

Mika's in there.

Please.
