Previously, on If Loving You Is Wrong.

Give me a gun.

Listen, there's no theory on the bonus.

You finish her, I'll get rid of it.

Can I at least come in? No!

Go home to your fiancé!

I'll drop.

You just dump her because you... You are a piece of work!

What's up with you, Dad?

Who is this young lady? What's up, baby? Come on, come on, come on. What's your

name? I'll walk you to your car. Wait, we weren't done talking. Oh, you ain't

gotta go?

You don't like chocolate? Where you going, baby?

Come on, you need a roughneck, not this dude.

Father. You know, Joey, our time's come.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Yeah.

Do you like screwing him more than you like screwing me?

Yes.

Sometimes. Sometimes.

She betrayed me. I'll be right in front of all of my friends and my co -workers.

It wouldn't be some kind of thick game. Okay, I get your point.

No, you don't get my point.

I'll show you my point.

What are you doing?

Brad, no!

No!

This is me. I just wanted to touch base and see how you're doing.

Everything's going great here.

I made the kids breakfast.

And we're going to take them to school and then I'm going to go to work, okay?

So don't you worry about them.

But call me, okay? And if I don't hear from you, I'm going to come over after

work. Bye.

How's everything?

Good?

Yummy? Mom's a bitch.

That's because you're putting it on backwards.

I told you that.

You don't know everything.

I knew that.

She's smart. She knows a lot.

Like me and my dad.

I miss my dad.

Where is he?

Well, you know, it's time to finish up that breakfast, okay?

Should we go see my dad?

Can I call him?

After school.

You can call him.

Why can't we go home?

Because your mommy and daddy need some time alone.

Why?

Because they have some things that they want to discuss.

Like what?

Like how much they love you.

They're fighting.

What makes you say that?

They always want us to go away when they're fighting.

Well, sweetheart, listen.

Whatever they're talking about, it's going to be all right.

Okay?

Well, at least your daddy lives in the house with you.

I don't know. He doesn't call or come to see me anymore.

Why?

I don't know. I call him and he never answers.

But when did you call him, Jessica?

All the time.

And what happened?

He never answered.

Did you leave a message?

Yes.

Okay, honey, he's going to call you, all right?

Well, it's okay if he doesn't want to be in my life.

I don't want to be in his.

Wait. Your daddy doesn't want to be in your life?

Wow, that's awful.

I know.

Well, you can share my daddy.

I want my own daddy.

Okay. All right, kids, that is enough of this. Come on.

Time to go to school.

Get those book bags on.

Last one in the car.

Hey, Joey, Lucian has to work late, so I need you to get the kids, okay?

Bam!

Look at you.

Hey, hey. What's up? Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Wow.

I set up some job interviews.

Is that right?

Yeah. Good.

Good for you.

Here you go. Bring it back.

What's that?

Come on, man.

Got to put this tie on if you want to look the part. Tell him, Frank.

That's right.

Okay. All right, well, don't listen to me.

You know, you should put it on. My dad's right.

No, I'm good.

You know what? I am with Frank and Lou.

You should put it on.

No.

What's the resistance with the tie?

I just don't want to wear it.

You don't know how to tie a tie, do you?

You don't know how to tie a tie?

Frank. What?

It's okay, all right?

Look, I didn't know how to tie a tie either.

I'll show you. No thanks, Frank. I'm good.

I mean, it's okay.

I mean, there's no shame in it.

My dad didn't show me how to tie a tie either.

Okay.

You know what?

Here's what I'm gonna do for you.

I know you don't want it, but I think it would look great on you.

So, just in case...

You just so happen to change your mind.

But they're still here, and voila.

They'll be sitting here for you, all right? If you so want it, it will be

All right?

Kids, let's go.

All right?

Come on. Bye -bye, babies.

Bye, Mom. Bye.

I'll see y 'all later. Hey, listen. Oh, bye.

It's, uh, tell my sister that, uh, Joey will be there to get them by 4.

Okay? You'll be done by 4? Unless I get the job. Well, if you get the job,

just... Call me and Lucien.

Okay? Okay. I'll see you later.

Bye.

All right. Let's go.

Come on, baby. Come on, baby.

Bye, my babies. Bye, Kwan. Bye, Tanisha. Bye, baby. Love you.

Bye.

Bye, baby.

What's wrong with you?

Nothing.

Mama?

I'm fine.

What do you do, Dee?

Why does somebody always have to do something to me?

Mom, tell me.

It's the tie.

It's about the tie?

Mom. You don't know how to tie it, do you?

Joey, you were my first child.

And I was a baby when I had you. And I didn't know what to do with you.

I'm sorry that I chose that man that I did, Joey. I'm sorry.

And I'm sorry that he's your father.

I am.

And I'm sorry, Joey, that he's not been there to help you.

I'm really sorry.

And I just think that your life could be so different if he would have been

there to show you how to die.

I can do a lot of things, Joey.

You know that. I can do a lot. I can work. I can take care of my kids.

Joey, you know that. I can do a lot.

But I cannot teach you how to be a man.

Mama, I am a man.

I know that.

And I'm grown.

I know that, too.

But I just worry about you, Joey.

Mama, don't.

I just wish that you could... Mama, it's a tie.

It's a tie.

I'm sorry. I don't know why I let it affect me like that.

Sorry. Sorry.

It's okay.

I love you.

I love you too, Mama. I love you.

I love you, and I'm proud of you.

Are you? Yeah.

Yeah, I am.

I am. I see that jail has changed you, and I know that you're trying,

Joey, and I'm proud of that because I know that you're aiming for the right

things.

That makes me feel good.

I love you, man.

I love you so much, Mom.

All right, all right, all right, all right.

Get off of me.

Get off.

All right, let's see where you're going here.

All right.

Joey.

You can't work there.

One moment. Joey.

It's $18 an hour. Boy, did you read this?

Yeah. Boy, this plant is awful.

They'll help you cleaning up chemicals and spores and all types of mold.

Mama, they give you protective gear. Boy, you're crazy.

It's $18 an hour. Joey, all money is not good money. I thought you learned that

by now.

You can't work here.

Don't go there.

Yeah, I hear you.

You better not be going there.

Okay, okay.

Look at these jobs. I mean, these are nice places.

You know, you should go here.

Okay? We can ride the bus together, okay?

Okay. All right. Guess I won't be needing that side.

Guess not.

All right, come on, babe.

Hey. Got an extra breakfast sandwich from Burger Fast.

You want it?

You pay for it?

My old lady gave it to me.

That's stealing.

Come on, man.

You want the sandwich or not?

What did I just say to you?

Huh? That's stealing.

Okay.

I'll eat it.

I want you to go ahead and eat it.

He ain't gonna eat that sandwich in front of me.

I just told you I was stealing, boy.

What the hell is wrong with you? No, no, no, no, no, no.

You think you can be aggressive with me?

But I can't be aggressive with you, Brooke.

That's how you think this game plays? What?

Last night.

Are you serious?

Oh, you damn right I'm serious.

You was trying to beat that man's head in last night.

Eddie, that's... That's what?

That's what I wanted to do.

Okay?

I call the shots around here.

Who the hell are you to tell me?

There's a big difference between a breakfast sandwich and being a man's

No, no, no, no, no. There's no difference.

You got to make a choice.

It can be one way.

Either you do every damn thing right or nothing at all.

But let me tell you something.

You better learn how I do things around here real quick.

You can set your ass up, Ripper, to kiss this job goodbye, you hear me?

You hear me?

You better get your damn hands off me.

Get my hands off you, huh?

Maybe I'm just playing with you, homie.

What up, kid?

You want to send me some skin, Jack?

I ain't down with you.

I ain't down with your people.

And get your ass out of my way.

Now.

Hey, Lucian.

Hey, what's up?

How are you?

I'm good.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Oh, that was crazy last night, huh?

Yeah. Yeah, it was.

I feel terrible for Brad.

Yeah, me too.

I'm just glad you were there.

Why?

You know why.

No, I don't know why. Why? Tell me.

Your partner.

What about him?

I'm just glad that you were there to keep him from doing anything stupid.

Like what?

Please, anything you can.

Why doesn't somebody stop him?

Look, Lucien, you need to know.

Ed goes way off sometimes.

He likes to think that he can break the law and do things to people without

dealing with the consequences, and you need to know that.

Talk to an internal affairs.

No.

Don't let anybody in here ever hear you say that.

I've seen rookie couriers like yours get killed.

Do you understand that?

Just don't.

That's the question.

You better be careful.

Watch your back and keep your mouth shut.

That ain't me.

I know.

All right, fellas.

I'll take my new bitch for a spin.

Come on, Rook.

How do you spell volume?

Volume? You misspelled it here.

Oh, sorry. I must have missed that.

How do you spell volume?

V -O -L -U -M -E.

Well, you misspelled it here.

Yeah,

and you didn't even finish this whole area here.

Do you have earring holes?

Yeah.

You wear earrings?

Yeah.

And, well,

what would your references say about you?

That I'm a good dude.

A good dude.

Okay. Well, how can I call them when you have none here?

I can give you some numbers.

Yeah, that's what this section is for.

Oh, sorry. I must have missed that, too.

You missed a lot of things here, Joey.

Look, this job is intense.

I mean, you can't miss any steps or we're going to have a big problem.

I understand that.

And there's a gap here from when you left high school to the present.

I mean, what have you been doing?

I was working.

Where? At the Burger Fest.

Oh, okay. Can I call him for a reference?

You want to call him right now?

Yes.

Okay, what's the number?

You do want a job here, right? Yeah.

Oh, okay. Well, put that phone.

What's the number?

Not too much.

Burger Fest.

Yeah, I have a Jerry Blackman. Joey, just ask for Jackie.

A Joey Blackman here?

He says he used to work here. Is Jackie there?

What's going on with him?

Well, he's applied for a job here at the Kelton plant.

The Kelton plant?

Yes. Ask for Jackie.

Doing what?

A chemical filling.

Chemical?

May I please speak with him, please, sir?

What? Sure.

Hello?

Well, get your ass out of there. Didn't I tell you not to go there?

Pardon me?

Pardon?

Look, Joey.

Oh,

I thought it was the best place to look for a job.

You thought wrong.

As hard as things were for me, I never went there, Joey.

Well, I thought it was a great opportunity.

Yeah, but you'll have to die, boy. Don't you know your Uncle Jimmy used to work

there? And now he got a cancer.

And your cousin Donald worked there. He has cancer now.

You're talking about the plant? Yeah.

Joey? Yes, he is.

Joey, you better get the hell up out of there.

All them people working over there, they think they're making good money. Boy,

get out of there right now.

Yeah, well, you know what? Just give them the reference, ma 'am.

That's all that would be necessary.

Sure. Sure, put it back on the phone, please.

One second.

Mm -hmm.

So, hey, Jackie.

What do you think of this young man?

Well, he can't do that.

What? No.

Oh, why not?

Why don't you ask him about his record?

Mm -hmm.

Record? Mm -hmm.

Yeah, he was in jail for three years.

And that's so.

Oh, yeah.

And he steals.

Oh,

yeah, everything he can get his hands on.

Okay.

Oh, and all them chemicals, he gonna take them and cook up some meth with

What? And his mama's evil. We got all these kids we need to pray for. Do y

got daycare right there?

Anything else, sir?

I thank you for your time.

Oh, yeah, you're welcome.

Yeah. Uh -huh.

Bye -bye.

Thanks for coming in.

Did I get the job?

We'll make our decision next week.

Girl, what was that about?

Still looking for a job.

What do you mean? I wish you would. I wish you would. I'm not saying that.

That's a smart girl. Smart girl.

That was wonderful work you did today.

Thank you so much.

But do you have big plans for the weekend next weekend?

You know I do.

Take care. Have a good night. All right.

Take care now.

Hi.

Are you okay?

I will be.

You want to go somewhere and sit down? No. No, thank you. I just came to say

thank you and I'm sorry for last night. I'll go.

You don't have to thank me for anything.

No, I do.

Everyone else would have continued to let me be a fool.

So, thank you.

I just think knowing is important.

You're right.

It is.

So what are you going to do?

I don't know.

I was at a hotel last night, and I just have so many emotions fighting for space

in my head. I don't know yet.

I get it.

Miss Isaacs? Yes. Mr. Mills is ready. Okay. Thank you so much. You're welcome.

I'm sorry. You're working. I just want to stop by and say thank you.

Call me later. Okay. All right. Where will you be?

I don't know.

In hell?

I'll be gone.

I'm cool.

I want to talk to you soon. Okay.

So what?

Just go out there all day and be silent?

Got a job to do.

You got a job to do. Okay. All right.

You're damn right, Rick. You got a job to do.

Yeah.

I'm going to do it.

Hey, man.

Let me ask you something.

Can I trust you?

Huh?

I'm your partner.

Of course you can trust me.

Oh, you're my partner. I can trust you, huh?

Then why don't you take your ass down off this elitist Indonesian high horse

keep riding around on like you're somebody.

How about you do that?

No, man.

Elitist Indonesian high horse.

Good.

Good.

We're going to test that theory out right now, man. Look at these old punk

mugs.

Pull up on them right now.

They're up to no good.

How would you know that?

Look at them.

I wouldn't look and I wouldn't assume.

Man, shut up. You know what, man?

Maybe this is not working. You know what? I left my two hens at home.

I don't even want to ride with them.

Hey, come here.

What's up?

What are you doing?

Sitting here.

Sir?

You ain't got no probable cause.

Probable cause.

Hey, that's a big word for you. You hear that, Lou?

Eddie.

Come on, man.

Look, leave the kid alone.

I ain't leaving this kid alone.

I saw him out here selling dope. Oh, hey, you ain't doing nothing because I'm

clean. Are you clean?

Yeah.

You walk around, put your hands on the side of the car. We'll find out about

that.

Lou.

Lou? Oh, you two know each other?

Put your hands on the car.

Yo, I ain't done nothing to Joey. What'd I do to him? Nothing.

What's he talking about?

This how we rocking, Lou?

Say something, man. This how we rocking?

This how it's going down, Lou?

Get his clean.

Okay.

Okay.

Let me see your ass out here again.

Yo, I'm trying to be real cool about this. Me and Joey go way back.

Keep pushing.

Let's go, Lou.

Now, what the hell was that about, man?

What? Those kids weren't doing nothing.

They weren't doing nothing?

Huh?

What the... What's that?

Spray coke.

You don't know nothing about these streets, man.

I know these kids. They've been out here slinging that dope for a while.

Best case, I want you to turn around.

It's fine, man.

It's fine. I got this.

You got the Kinect out here, too, boy.

Almost getting that straight Columbia in the street.

You want some of this?

Huh? Come on, give me your hand.

Dang, man, what are you doing?

Man, not in the damn car. What are you doing? I don't want any of that.

You don't want any of that?

What about this?

Huh?

You want some of this?

Answer me.

Look at this money.

Look at this money and think about your life. What do you think we're doing out

here? Huh?

We're just protecting the servant?

That's what you think?

You better wise enough.

Think about this money, Lucian. You ain't going to save the world, but you

change your life doing this.

Get Natalie out the hood, take care of your kids.

Think about it.

All right?

I'll take your cup.

That blow's on the floor. You want some of it?

It's all yours.

You better wise it up. You better wise it up.

Nothing's gonna change around here.

Thanks for calling.

Sure.

Oh.

He'll be here soon.

You know, you really could have returned his call.

Say what?

You didn't want me to tell him.

Well, so you just ignore him?

Kelly's hard either way.

Ignoring him, lying to him.

He's a special kid.

He's early.

Hello? Is Travis here?

Travis? Yeah.

Oh. Hi, son.

Uh, what are you doing here? Well, I wanted to talk to you, and I thought

be here.

Okay, what is it?

You know, now that we've all caught up, why don't you all have that conversation

outside? Oh, actually, this is something that involves you as well.

Okay, just so you know, I... I did not feel like being insulted by you today.

I did not come here to insult you.

I came to apologize.

I've never tried to control my son, nor his decisions.

I've only tried to protect him.

And when you came to my house the other day, I thought that you truly loved him.

So after much prayer, I just wanted to ask you to forgive

me.

So you bring your mama over here to help you? No, he didn't send me.

I'm really sincere.

Then thank you.

Well, that's all I wanted to say.

And just for the record, you were good for him.

See you at the church, son.

Thanks, Mom.

Okay, wow.

I was not expecting that. Really?

Promise. Look, just so you understand, your mama cannot fix everything.

Okay? You and I are through.

She wasn't trying to.

Are you done?

Close mouth.

Eyes wide open.

Close legs.

Eyes wide open.

What are you doing here?

Adjust this.

Come on in, Paisley.

Peter. Come on.

I assume my dad's coming.

I know, sweetheart, but you have to come in here, okay?

Why?

Don't you want to play?

I set up a game table for you in the back.

I want to go home.

You will.

When? Soon?

I will give your mommy a call today, okay?

Okay. All right, so why don't you guys go play?

I'm going to go.

Hey, Justice, you going to say hi?

You don't say hi to me.

I'm sorry.

I love you.

I want to go play with my friends.

Wait, hold on one second, okay?

Me and your mom have something we want to tell you, okay?

I want to go.

It'll just take a second, I promise.

What is it?

You know I love you, right?

You do?

So much.

I love you, too.

And I need you to know that I am so sorry.

Okay?

From now on, I'm going to take you to your baseball games on the weekend.

And every time that you call me, I'm going to try my best to answer. And if I

can't,

you have my word that I'll call you back as soon as I can, okay?

You promise?

But we have something we want to tell you.

Okay.

Jealous.

I'm not your biological father.

Do you know what that means?

No.

Do you know what a biological father is?

No.

Well, you have two dads.

You have a biological father.

that you have me.

What?

That means that your mother and I didn't make you.

Just as I loved you from the moment I saw you.

So it doesn't matter.

What do you mean you didn't make me?

Well, it takes a man and a woman and God to make a baby.

And your mother and I are not the man and the woman that made you.

But we love you all the same.

Who is the man?

Well, we can talk about him later.

But right now, I need you to know that I am your dad.

And I love you.

And as long as I breathe, I will always be there for you.

Okay? Okay.

How do you feel about that?

Fine.

You sure?

Yes, is that it?

Do you have any questions?

No.

You sure?

Yeah. Is that it?

Yeah. Yeah.

Can I go meet Peter now?

Sure, honey.

Okay.

Hey, Peter, I'm coming down to meet you.

Was that it?

Yeah, I guess so.

Explain to his father.

What's yours?

Yeah, I know.

Can I pay for dinner?

Uh, well, you know, I'm taking the kids out for ice cream.

Right, right.

I'll see you later.

Sorry Sorry

No, no, no, no, no, no! Run!

No! Run!

Run!

Is everything okay?

Run!

No!

No!

Next, on If Loving You Is Wrong.

Oh, this is bad. Are you calling? about gunshots near your house? Nicole shots

fired. What are you doing? Eddie, I'll take care of all this.

Take care of what? Do you have any idea what you've done? Eddie, I don't need

you telling me what I've done. I just need to get over there.

Esperanza, you can't just go over there. You should be ashamed of yourself.

You are the last person who should be telling me what I should be ashamed of.

He made love to me all night and told me he loved me. He told me that I...

He came at you with his gun.

This is his gun.

All right? So which one of you knew?

That she was sleeping with a neighbor next door. Which one of you knew? You

to calm down.

I am calm. You're leaving. I am not leaving. Stop. Then I will make your

living hell in this house. So you think I'm afraid of you?

I think I'm scared of you.

The only reason I tolerated you is because I need this job.

Baby, this is your bed, okay? You just got to lay in it. What if he doesn't

back? Go ahead and pull with your bitch ass. Boy! I don't want to live anymore

in here, boy.
