Previously on, if loving you is wrong.

How did you all meet?

It was our kid.

We were all like sisters.

Let go. You have a man in my house. You really want me to hurt you? You have a

wife. I'm single. My ex is a little crazy.

Put down your weapon. What are you talking about, man? Will you?

Did you get the pictures of the house?

And I think you will love it. This is my future wife. I was building a life for

us, and you were off making plans with someone else.

Hi, honey.

Did you eat any of the dishes?

I have a headache.

A headache? And I think that we've got to give you one.

It doesn't work like that. I don't want you coming into my house. No

foolishness. He was selling dope, girl. I can't. But you're scared of your mama?

I'm just... Look, I'm not in the mood.

You're upset about the pregnancy.

Could this be my child? No.

Don't call me that.

Somebody followed me home and shot up the whole damn place.

Is that what you want? Where's mommy?

Having an affair with someone, if that is the case, I cannot handle that.

mine and I can't have you. I can't do this anymore. Make sure you set the

I got it. My job was robbed.

And Joey was closing.

You did it. What?

He's cheating on me. You are pepper.

I hate you. Do you like screwing him more than you like screwing me?

My wife. No, no.

Go home to your fiance.

I got it on. You and I are through.

No, I don't go.

Get away from my house. I'm not letting you go and commit adultery. Sign the

papers. I do what I want. Screw you. Mike! Daddy!

Drop it.

What about you? Go ahead and pull him.

He saw us and tried to kill me. He's going to let him get away. I told you he

would. He told me he would. He knows all kind of lawyers.

I'm telling him what happened. I want to have sex with you.

Don't. Neither one of us want to do this. It was so good.

It was Brad.

Is there any way that we can do a paternity test on this baby? I can't

child. Find somebody who can.

He was shot five times. He was wearing a vest. I want to have lunch with you.

You are going to give me fire. Could you make love to him?

You want me?

What's wrong with you? You all right?

No, I don't want you. Where's Brad?

Do you understand what Brad will do to you if he sees your face? I am not.

Get out.

Oh, my God.

It's black.

How would you tell Brad?

Tell Brad what?

Brad. Let him go.

No, we need to help them. Why? We have to talk to them. Look, Kelly, there's

nothing we can do here. Natalie, there's something we can try and do to help.

Look at that man. I'm telling you, there's nothing we can do, Brad.

Brad. Brad, wait.

What?

Wait. What?

We just want to talk to you. What do you want to talk about?

About your situation.

Why?

Because we want to help you. How are you going to help? What are you going to

do? There's nothing you can do. I'm already humiliated. Okay, all right,

down. We just want to talk. I'm not one of your friends, Kelly.

Okay, I'm not Alec. This is not how it works. Okay, we didn't say that you

So you want to talk about my feelings?

Is that it? Want to talk about how much it hurts?

No, no, we... What?

Is that it? You want me to talk about how my wife slept with my neighbor, my

best friend? Because I was just in that hospital, and I saw that baby. And it's

quite clearly not mine. Okay, okay, calm down.

How can I calm down when that's not my child?

You...

What, Kelly?

What? What do you want to say?

What can you say?

Because I really want to hear it.

That's what I want to hear. I can't wait.

Guess there's nothing I can say.

Miss Veronica, anything you want to say to make this seem better?

Brad, there's nothing that I can say to make... I don't think so.

Except that I know Alex loves you.

Wow.

That just makes it worse.

Well, it shouldn't.

How am I going to explain this?

You don't need to explain anything.

No, I will have to. Brad, this is a baby.

I'm not talking about that child.

I'm talking about how I'm going to explain to Eddie that I run over the

of his child because she wouldn't... Shut up!

Now get out of my way or I will run you over.

Move, move.

Come on, you see he needs it. Come on.

Oh, God, leave that man alone.

Do you think he really would have run me over?

Hell yeah.

Girl, did you see the look on that man's face?

I feel bad for her.

Yeah, me too.

No, you don't.

Yeah, I do.

Natalie, you don't. You know good and well that you do not feel bad for her.

Look, okay, I don't. Natalie, this is not the time for that.

Look, she did this, okay? Look, she put herself in this situation.

You could at least sympathize with her.

Too much happens to me without me having anything to do with it, okay? So I'm

not going to feel bad for people who put themselves in this kind of situation.

I'm sure she didn't do it on purpose. Well, no matter how she meant it, it's

happened. I pray I never make a mistake around you, Natalie, because you are

being ruthless, right? No, I'm not. No, I'm not. I'm just a truth teller.

And I'm brutally honest.

Well, I sure hope that when we get into that room to see her, you won't be so

brutally honest. Thank you.

Now y 'all know me.

Look, she's going through a lot. The last thing she needs is for you to beat

up even more.

Y 'all know what's on my mind.

Maybe you should go home.

No, I'm not.

You know, she's my friend, too. I want to see her.

Well, then start acting like it, Natalie.

I will.

By showing some compassion.

And by compassion, Natalie, she means not being brutally honest, okay?

Well, the truth hurts sometimes. Enough!

Okay?

All right, fine. I will keep my mouth shut. No, you won't.

You won't. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

What? You think she knows?

Knows what?

That this is Randall's baby.

Natalie, of course she knows. How could she not? That baby's half black. We all

saw that. I mean, I know that, but what if she didn't see him?

She saw him, I'm sure. I don't know.

She may not have seen the baby.

Natalie, she, I'm sure she has seen her child. I'm sure.

I mean, come on. I hope you're right. I am.

Wait.

What?

This is Alex.

See, now she has me wondering. This is Alex we're talking about. She may not

have wanted to see him.

Okay. Well, you know what? There's only one way to find out. So, let's go.

Let's go.

It's hard to tell out here.

Come on.

Hold on, man. You heard I got shot?

Yeah, I heard.

I thought I was talking to a ghost.

No, sir.

I don't die.

I want you to remember that.

You know I know, Eddie.

So where's my money, man?

Your boy picked it up.

Okay. He ain't brought it to you yet?

No. Well, you got it.

All right.

I know these streets are talking, man. You any word on who shot me?

That's your hood all day.

Who shot me?

Man, I wish I knew, man.

Yeah, well, I'm gonna find out.

You're the police.

You always do.

Yeah. Believe that.

Hey, look, man, I gotta run.

I'll talk to you later.

Now, where has your ass been? I've been calling you all night.

Where the hell's my money?

I don't know where it is.

Who is this?

Steven. What the hell do you want?

I heard you got out of the hospital.

Yeah? And?

You're a brave man.

Yeah, braver than you, Steven. No need to be a hero if you're still in pain,

man.

Let's cut to it, man.

We all know you're not a big fan of mine.

So, either tell me why you're calling, or let's wrap this up.

I just wanted to let you know, uh, partner's down here.

Well, newsflash, Steven, he works there.

Yeah, but don't you want to know what he's doing?

I'm assuming he's working. No.

He's talking with internal affairs man Started interviewing him yesterday and

we've been at it for hours today Why so quiet any

What's he saying I don't know

I Just thought you might want to know Yeah, why don't you get off my line you

son of a bitch

Hey, what are you doing?

I can't talk right now.

Well, what time are you going to be back?

Listen, I'm at the hospital with Alex.

Why? What's wrong with that whore? Eddie, stop.

She's your cousin. Stop.

She ain't no damn cousin of mine. I've been claiming her for years. She's

like a little whore.

I'm not doing this with you right now. I'm not.

So when are you coming home?

After I'm done here. I don't know.

A couple hours, maybe.

Why? I miss you.

Yeah, right.

I do.

Right.

She, um... She had the baby.

I hope it hurt like hell.

Goodbye. Baby. Bye.

Who was that?

Nobody.

Ben, if I call you one more time, and you do not pick up this phone, hear me

when I say, you will regret it.

Girl, I am sick as a dog.

What's wrong?

I don't know, some stomach thing.

You should see the doctor.

Yeah,

I am, but I was hoping Randall would catch it.

You should stop it.

Why won't he leave?

These things can get complicated.

He won't sign the papers, and he won't leave.

How long has it been?

Months. Be patient.

And maybe I should leave.

Marcy, you can't leave the house. Why not?

Sometimes I think you should have it.

Wouldn't have to look at that trash next door you've been sleeping with.

Is that still going on?

Oh, I don't know.

I'm sorry.

I mean, I didn't know when it was going on. How would I know now?

God, I want to move so bad, but I just can't afford to go anywhere else.

Are you drinking?

Yeah.

It's not even noon.

And?

Oh, there's someone at the door.

I didn't hear the doorbell. Gotta go.

Nobody's returning my calls.

Mrs. Holmes, how are you? Where is Randall? He's not here. I know that.

probably telling a lie.

And you're busy.

You always are.

You can't... No, you can't... You can't stop me. I'm in now. It's my son's

house, too.

Randall!

Randall!

He's not here.

Then where is he?

Why do you have a bag?

Because I'm staying here.

Look, Mrs. Holmes, this is not a good time.

Oh, yes it is.

If I can't hear from my son, this is a great time.

What are you doing here?

It's a little late for that question.

If I don't hear from someone, I show up.

All the way from Colorado?

1 ,192 miles to be exact, and I drove all the way.

Well, it's going to be a long way back, but it should probably start now.

Marcy, where is my son?

He is not here.

Then I will wait.

Mrs. Holmes.

Don't Mrs. Holmes me with that tone of voice and a drink in your hand in the

middle of the morning.

And why is this place such a mess?

Look, please don't. Don't touch it.

I'm cleaning up my son's house.

Did you hear me?

Did you hear me?

Louise! I don't want to hear it.

I am staying here and I am not staying in a pigsty.

I am staying here and I am cleaning up and waiting on my son.

You probably didn't give him any of my messages.

What's going on here?

What did you do?

What did I do?

You did something. I know it was you. Okay.

All right, you need to leave, please. Get out.

Put me out.

Lady? Yes.

I'm a lady, not some ghetto trash pretending to be sophisticated.

Huh.

Ghetto trash?

I didn't stutter.

Miss real estate agent, whatever.

Miss career woman.

Get out.

I am not leaving until I see my son.

You did something, and I'm going to find out what it is.

You probably don't even cook for him.

I know he shouldn't have married you. That we can agree on.

And such a nasty attitude.

Look, you old bitch.

Shut up and get out of my house.

Old bitch. You heard me.

Oh, you see?

You see?

Who do you think you're talking to? Apparently someone who is hard of

Get out!

You will not talk to me like that.

And I am not leaving my son's house.

You can walk out.

Or I will gladly drag your old ass out that door.

I am going to stay on this porch until my son comes, and I am going to tell him

how you treated me.

Randall?

Randall, this is your mother. Call me right back.

I know your dumb ass is not in there spraying perfume.

No.

No? No.

Well, I smell it.

And if I smell it, then she's for the hell, Kim.

So get in there and wash it off before I beat your ass.

Go.

And hurry up and get your ass back in this bed.

She'll be home soon.

Where the hell have you been? I've been calling you. I was in with my boss,

Eddie. I am your damn boss.

Okay, my boss here at the station, Eddie.

What did I just say to you?

You're my boss.

That's right.

You're supposed to be my eyes and ears down there.

And I have not heard or seen a damn thing, Ben.

Okay, Eddie, I understand.

You don't understand, Ben.

If you understood, you'd pick up this damn phone when I called. Eddie, I'm

sorry, okay?

I have to come out here and teach you a couple lessons.

No, no, no.

Listen, okay, I'm good. Okay, I'm good. No, you're not good. You're nothing but

a damn junkie, man.

I still smell that.

Get in there and do what I told you.

Wash it off.

Ben, what's going on down there?

Nothing. Nothing. No word on who shot me?

No.

Is Luce in Cap's office?

Yeah, he's been in there a while now.

What's going on? Is he in there singing?

I don't know. Well, find out.

I don't know how I can do that, Eddie.

Ben, do you understand that I will shoot your ass?

You ain't nothing but a rookie.

I'll tell him you did it to yourself.

Okay, okay.

I'll see what I can find out. No, you won't see.

You will do.

Go find something out.

Eddie, that's the captain.

Who got you on the force, Ben?

You did.

That's right.

And who has enough evidence to bury your rookie ass at any moment?

You do, Eddie.

You know what they do to cops upstate?

Huh, Ben?

You ready to go to the pen?

Make them squeal? Be somebody's little bitch?

I didn't think so.

You're not ready for that.

So go get me something and do it now.

Okay, okay. I'll see what I can find out.

Ben, why don't you go look at that wall of rookies that died in the line of

duty? Okay.

Okay, Eddie. I get it. What do you think they were doing?

Nothing.

I'm sorry, Eddie.

I'll do better.

You will do better.

And Tate told me that you have my money too.

So get over to Esperanza's house within the hour. You hear me? Eddie, Eddie.

What are you doing? How long does it take to wash off perfume?

Be damned.

I still smell it. Get your whole ass out of here.

Grab all your stuff and go.

You're lucky you're getting high for free.

a few years ago christmas yeah have you seen randall

he hasn't been returning my call

no well has your wife seen him

Well, thank you.

You did good.

Thank you.

I just told the truth.

See you later.

Not so fast.

After two days of interviews, you didn't answer my question.

Is Eddie a dirty cop?

You do know we try to do things by the book.

Don't give me that textbook bull you gave to Internal Affairs.

Textbook? You're a smart kid.

Boy, you knew what they were going to ask before they asked it. You knew what

answers to give to get them to move on.

Now... When I hired you, I was impressed by your resume and your military

history, but watching you with these guys, I'm impressed with your work, all

it. I'm also impressed with your production of your partner.

But I want to be impressed with your loyalty to this department and to me.

Is Eddie a dirty cop?

Eddie has a lot of problems, but I believe with time I could be a good

on him.

That didn't answer my question.

Captain, I believe that I can work with him. I can try and help him.

So he's dirty.

Eddie's been on the streets for a long time.

I've heard stories about Iraq and... Is he a danger out there?

Sir.

I believe that I can help him.

Why are you protecting him?

I'm not protecting him.

I am protecting myself.

You know how this goes.

New cop in the department.

I'll tell you anything, it's no good for me.

But trust me when I say that I could help get him back in line.

Okay.

Okay, but I'm telling you this.

You have the potential to go far here, you're sure, kid.

You could have just made the worst mistake of your life by not giving him

Thank you, Captain.

Hey, Lucian. How's it going?

Then you are.

I'm Ben.

I've been here a little more than a year now.

Okay, good for you.

Hey, great job with those shooters.

Thanks, kid.

Hey, what's it like to, you know, just shoot someone?

Just hope you never need to know.

I mean, how did it go with internal affairs?

Kind word of advice.

Yeah, anything.

Stick to your job Leave everything else alone Yeah

What are you doing in here?

I brought you coffee, sir. Did I ask for coffee?

No, sir. Get out.

Yes, sir. And Ben.

Yes, sir.

Stop sucking up.

Doesn't get you anywhere in this department.

Yes, sir.

We have the baby here.

Mommy, we need to try to get you to see if you'll latch on.

It's very important.

Get out.

Excuse me?

Get out.

But I just wanted to... Get...

Don't you hear me yelling, come in?

The door's unlocked. Bring your ass in. I'm in the bedroom.

Hey, Eddie, how you feeling? What are you dumbass doing? Can't you hear me

yelling, come in?

Sorry. Where the hell's my money?

Here you go, Eddie.

Here you go, Eddie.

What the hell is this?

I took a picture of Lucian's file in Captain's office.

I don't care about Lucian's file. Where the hell is my money at?

Well, I mean, it's pretty interesting what he says about your shooting.

No, I... Look, Ben, I don't give a damn.

Where's the money that Tank gave you?

He never gave me any money, Eddie.

Tank never gave you my money?

No. He said he didn't have it.

You sure about that?

I'm sure, Eddie. I'm sure.

He didn't give it to me. We're about to find out.

Call him.

Terry. Hey.

You know I hate being lied to.

Your ass got ten minutes, maybe down at the well.

What's going on?

Ten minutes.

Come on.

Let's go.

I gotta go back to the station, man. You gotta go back to the station. You'll

follow me. Now.

I'll tell her I ain't changed.

Why can't we see her yet?

Just give it a minute.

What the hell?

Didn't I tell you to leave here hours ago?

Let's move.

You move.

What? Are you hard of hearing? What?

Will y 'all just leave me alone?

Please. You're not going back there to see her?

Watch me.

Get out of here.

Now.

Get out of my face.

Give me a reason to fuck your ass up.

Like my ass up.

They just fucked you right out the hood, huh? Yeah.

Yeah, they did.

You didn't notice where I'm from, right?

You don't know me, huh?

I'm going to wear his ass out up in the hospital.

Natalie, calm down.

Randall, take your ass back home to your wife.

Okay? How about all three of you just need to move?

She doesn't want to see you. You don't know that. Yes, I do. No, you don't,

Kelly.

As a matter of fact, where is your man?

Are the two of you even together this week?

You know what? Who the hell do you think you are?

Oh, me? Oh, I'm Alice's man.

You know, something that you don't have.

and she doesn't want to see you.

Are you crazy?

Legitimately. Because in my clinical opinion, I think you might be.

You really don't see what's going on here?

I see that I told you to leave.

She doesn't want to see you.

And I said move.

Listen, get your ass out of here.

Natalie, stop. No, no, no, no, no. He's a damn fool. All right? I'm not scared

of him.

I'm not scared of him. That's it.

No, no, no. Get your ghetto ass out of my face. That's right. That's right. My

ghetto ass.

You're a mess.

Move.

Put that away, Natalie.

You didn't see that coming, did you?

Natalie, put that away. Put your mother... Natalie. Put your hands on me

Ghetto bitch.

Natalie,

call me another one. Call me another one. Stop it. I said get your ass out of

here. Is everything okay?

No. My ass is threatening us.

He's threatening us and he don't know nobody in this hospital.

My girlfriend is here.

Your girlfriend?

Yeah. He beats her.

He beats her.

And we're just trying to protect her from him.

And I know there are laws to protect women of domestic violence in these

hospitals.

Oh, Lord.

Sir, you have to leave.

She's lying. You have to leave. What's going on?

This is Randall, and he's trying to get in to talk to Alex.

Oh, well, she can't see anybody.

Alex's next -door neighbor?

The one that Brad asked you about?

I see.

I just want to see Alex and the baby.

That's not possible.

All right, you heard her.

You heard her. Now bounce your ass out of here.

Doctor, I think I need stitches.

No, to hell you don't. You need a band -aid.

Now get the hell out of here.

I just want to see Alex and the baby.

That's all.

Andrew. I'm sorry, sir.

You have to leave the hospital.

Leave now.

Come with me.

You can't keep me from her.

One slice at a time, babe.

I can't believe you cut that man in a hospital.

Y 'all know me.

Yeah, we know you now.

What the hell was that, a box cutter? You're damn right.

Where'd you put it?

In Esperanza's purse. What? Natalie!

Oh, Doctor, hi.

Is there any way that we can go back and see her now?

I'm sorry, but she doesn't want to see anybody else except Brad.

Is he here?

He left.

Oh, dear.

Can we go back there and see her?

She was very clear she doesn't want to see anybody.

Well, has she seen the baby?

I can't discuss this with anybody.

I'm sure you understand.

Well, can we at least talk to her for a few minutes? I mean, you know, we're

here girls.

I understand.

But she is running a fever.

This is very difficult at best.

I need her to, you know, relax.

I can't make this any more difficult than it is.

Can you at least tell us that she's going to be okay?

She has not seen anybody today, okay?

You should come back tomorrow, okay?

Doctor! I'm sorry.

All right.

You guys heard her. Let's go.

Now, you know damn well I'm going back there this year, don't you?

Natalie, you can't. She said no ten times.

Where the fear is at?

Wait, if it was that easy, Randall would have done it. Well, Randall ain't from

where I'm from.

Now, come on.

You think her devil ass is going to get us arrested?

I know.

a perp. Hi.

Why are you out here on this porch? Because your wife called me an old

Alex, have you seen him? I don't want to see him. Her blood pressure is

dangerously high, ladies. Now, I told you you couldn't see her, and I need you

to leave.

Hi. Oh, hi.

I'm Jean.

Okay, I'm Kelly.

I live next door. You're not taking your meds?

Could I die?

Yes. Tell me you love me.

I need time.

What happened, man? I drew my weapon.

There's a video camera on the supermarket across the street.

We're going to get that videotape. Get him. Kelly, I can't. Look.
