- It's six, babe. Rise and shine.

So, the look is dated, but this photographer

is catching all her best angles.

Babe, look at his lighting.

- Oh yeah, that is tight.

Hey, can you get my belt for me?

Thank ya, thank ya, thank ya.

- He shot Laura last year.

- Mm, think tie or no tie?

- No tie.

- Laura, your big booty modelin' girl, Laura your friend?

Yeah, she is super classy.

- Relax, babe, you know I've never done that type of stuff.

Strictly high fashion, artistic.

- Mm-hm.

- I'm thinking, I can shoot with him,

I can get some more stuff for my portfolio.

Start modeling again.

- Okay, alright, well, listen.

Who is gonna be taking care of our little girl

while you're out there, gallivanting the world?

- She can get a sitter.

She's old enough now.

Come on, Guy.

What, you don't think I got it anymore?

- What?

Come here, you.

Sasha Curtis, you are the finest, baddest woman

I've ever met in my life.

You're not 19 anymore, baby.

I'm not 19 anymore, okay?

Taking care of our baby should be our top priority.

Not chasing old hobbies, right?

Yes? Yes?

- Yes. - Mm-hm.

(smacking kisses)

Alright?

I gotta roll.

Could you throw on some turkey bacon for me?

[GUY VO] I think I am a damn good husband.

I bought Sasha the house she always wanted.

I've got a great job,

and my daughter knows that no man will ever love her

more than her daddy.

I don't like to pat myself on the back,

but I hope Sasha knows, she's got one of the good ones.

[SASHA VO] My family is everything.

That's why breakfast is on the table every morning,

and dinner is ready by seven.

My husband just wants me to focus on our home for now

and I'll pick back up the career later.

C'mon, babe, breakfast is up.

You sacrifice for the people you love.

- Sweetie, what you need to do is concentrate on eating,

instead of trying to find the toy.

- Only reason why I eat cereal is for the toy.

- Either eat, or track down that toy, Skyla,

but do it quick or you two will be late.

- Oh, thank you baby,

I am so tired of eating that downtown food.

- Yup, I need you to maintain that frame.

You know your metabolism slows when you get older.

- So I'm getting a little gut.

You don't think I deserve it?

- Not till you're 50.

- That's sexy, baby.

- Uh, no.

Seriously, no more food truck lunches.

- Alright, on one condition.

You stop being so forgetful.

- Oh. - Oh, yes.

Bags, keys, the bills, Sasha.

- Stop exaggerating.

Maybe the keys, but you, lay off that junk.

- Got it.

What I should do,

is take one of those fitness classes, like you.

- That reminds me, I have my class today at 10.

- Oh yeah, speaking of those fitness classes,

I am loving the results.

(smacking kisses)

Hey you.

- Hm?

- Skyla, grab your stuff, sweetie, we're gonna be late.

So you might want to think about getting Skyla after daycare

because it looks like,

I'm gonna be after seven o'clock tonight.

- Again? - Mm-hm.

- Babe, you're gonna have to tell your boss

I need you home at a reasonable hour.

- Promotion is coming, so this won't be long.

Skyla, get your stuff.

- Baby. - Mm-hm.

- I love you and I love this house,

but the house can't talk back to me.

- And I feel the love.

- Ah, I'm serious now, come on, I need you home more often.

It's not a request.

- It's not a request, I get it.

Skyla, kiss your momma, let's roll.

- Bye, babe.

- Bye mom.

- Come on, we're gonna be late.

- [Skyla] Coming, Dad.

(soft music)

(phone buzzes)

- Hey babe.

- Guy, can you come back?

I have a flat tire.

- A flat?

No babe, I can't be late today.

Tyrant's in the office.

Why don't you grab a Cruz?

- [Sasha] A Cruz?

- It's a lot like Uber?

A ride share?

Kevin does it all the time when he's too drunk to drive.

- Mmm, no, I just, I don't feel comfortable

being in a car with a stranger.

You think it's safe?

- Well, I'm sure if it wasn't,

it wouldn't be so popular, baby.

I know who will listen next time I show 'em

how to change a flat tire though, (laughing)

- Ha ha, you just make sure you fix it when you get back.

- Alright babe, bye.

- Bye.

(soft music)

- [Woman] Mr. Curtis?

- [Guy] Yes, Ma'am.

- I'm still waiting for your report on Kendrick Grant.

Ms. Steele was asking for it.

- That's right, and I'm waiting on something, myself.

- [Tamika] What?

- That smile, hello. - Right.

- Hey, I just violated the man.

Can you tell her I'll get it to her?

- You got it.

Look buddy, what did I say?

Your piss is weekly now, no heads up.

- What the hell, Frazier, why are you riding me so hard?

- It's called parole.

You're on it.

Keep your piss clean and there won't be any problems.

- But I... - Riff!

Less words.

Schedule Vincent Riffkin for a piss test please.

- Yup, I'm on it.

- Thank you.

- Riff, less words.

That's the boss, that is a boss. - Thank you.

- It's a good idea to keep him on a short leash.

- Yeah, I wish I kept my lying cheating ex on a short leash,

oh, by the way, the Boss Lady is on the floor

and she is pissed, so beware.

- Awesome, I'm not having my balls crushed lately.

- Always a great time.

- Smith, what the hell are you doing in my office?

Don't talk, just don't say anything.

What can I do for you, sir?

- Listen, I appreciate you, Mr. Curtis,

I'm just not cut out for manual labor.

- Mr. Smith, are you holding a framed picture of my wife?

- Now, I found a new job, as a male model

and it pays under the table,

but I just wanna let you know

that I'm 100% compliant on my employee requirements.

- That's good.

I want you to understand something, Mr. Smith.

Male model or not, if there is no paper trail,

there is no job as far as I'm concerned.

Do you understand?

Do you understand the way these things connect?

- Aw, come on Mr. Curtis, cut me a break.

- Cut you a break, why would I cut you a break?

- I can't...

- You're holding a framed picture of my wife.

- I cannot lift another pound of concrete.

I'd rather go back to jail.

- Now you're onto something.

You, of all people should understand,

how easily that can be arranged.

Tamika.

Please get in here.

If I touch that picture again and it's sticky,

me and you gonna have some problems.

Tamika, get in here.

- Yes, Mr. Curtis.

- Will you please escort Mr. Smith back to his car.

Mr. Smith, you're dismissed.

- Good morning Ms. Steele.

- Morning.

Morning, Mr. Curtis.

- Good morning.

- I hope there's some life-threatening excuse

to explain why you're late.

- Linda, I'm not scheduled until 9:30.

Okay, I have a reason for this.

- If I wanted excuses, I would have hired my ex.

You, on the other hand, are vying to be my replacement.

Get your shit together, Mr. Curtis.

- Yes, Ma'am.

(door slams)

I swear to God.

(knocking on the door)

Yes, Linda.

- Ah, someone's a little jumpy.

You okay?

- I'm fine, thank you.

- Hey, look, I know I'm new,

but I've dealt with a million bosses like her before.

Don't let it get you twisted.

- No, Linda's not a problem, I can handle her.

- I was thinking, how would you like Japanese for lunch?

- Well you know something, Elaine,

Linda's probably planning her next vacation right now,

so probably not.

- Well I was thinking, we could have it delivered here and

eat together.

- Elaine, um, (clicks his tongue)

I'm a married man, framed pictures of family and all

and probably not such a good look.

- I know, I know. - Right, right.

- Crossing the line.

- It happens.

- So sorry.

Sometimes I can be a little, over-friendly.

- Nothing's wrong with that, Elaine,

but you should probably read the handbook

on appropriate office attire, um,

friendly's a good thing, right?

So, friends.

- Yep.

- Eric, I need you to...

- I need to get the Wilson file.

Oh, are we dressed for work or a slutwalk?

Nice color.

Thank you for being on time,

so I don't have to violate your parole

and send your ass back to prison.

(laughing)

Okay, let's get some things straight.

Condition number one of your parole,

you must report here weekly.

Condition number two of your parole,

you must acquire gainful employment.

Condition number three of your parole,

you must submit to random drug testing.

Condition number four,

you are absolutely not allowed to leave the state

as a condition of...

as a condition of...

- My parole.

- Exactly.

I'm glad we've got that clear.

So, I see that you are a graduate,

of Howard University?

- Mm-hm.

- Impressive.

Then you should have absolutely no problem finding a job.

- The Mecca is still producing

incredible contributors to society.

- Ms. Wilson, I'm going to be frank with you.

There are some details about your case that bother me.

See, princess, I don't know if you're being sincere,

or if you just think

you're going to slide through the system.

In either case, I've got full workload,

so I will be assigning you to my senior officer, Mr. Curtis.

Mr. Curtis will be giving me

a full detailed report on your progress.

You got that?

- Understood.

- Good.

(soft mysterious music)

(knocking on the door)

- Hi Mr. Curtis, your new parolee, Faren Wilson.

- [Sasha] Ah, he's not coming to get me.

- Girl... - [Sasha] Yeah.

- What you mean he's not coming back to get you?

- [Sasha] He's already late for work.

- Ugh, so raggedy.

I'm about to come get you.

- [Sasha] No, save your gas.

- What you mean? You thought I wasn't gonna get

20 dollars up off you?

- [Sasha] Ah, whatever, I called a Cruz.

- Girl, all I'm saying is, be careful.

Statistics say that Uber drivers, - [Sasha] Cruz.

- I mean, Cruz, bootleg-ass Uber,

they are more likely to be sex offenders or rapists in LA.

I blogged about it last week.

- [Sasha] Are you serious?

- Bye. - Bye.

(soft music)

- Hey, Sasha Curtis?

- Yep.

- Welcome to Cruz, it's like Uber, but, you know...

Let me take that.

- Um, mister?

- Lance.

- Lance, I could have kept it with me, it's not that big.

The bag.

- Oh, yeah, you coulda, I'm sorry.

- No, no, it's fine, I was just saying.

- Alright, you're all set?

- Yeah.

- Enjoy your Cruz.

♪

So, Sasha, first time using Cruz?

- It is, how could you tell?

- I work this area a lot, real flexible gig.

- Gig, huh?

Let me guess, you're an actor?

(laughing)

- How could you tell?

- Well, anybody calling a job a gig is only passing through.

Plus, you don't sound like you're from LA.

Likely trying to break into entertainment.

- Pretty observant.

You're a model, aren't you?

- No, no, I'm a wife and a mother,

and I design jewelry.

That's my gig.

- I hope I'm not out of line,

but you're a very beautiful woman.

- My husband thought so too,

and he made a point to wife me up quick.

But I'll let you in on a little secret.

I used to model but I got married and had my daughter

so I had to shift my priorities.

- The world missed out on you, Sasha.

Hands on your knees.

Ah, shit, I need to park my car and download that app.

- He drives a Cruz, I doubt he could afford you.

- Girl, please, I can get any man to take me to dinner

but that right there, is a happy hour!

(keyboard clicking)

- Damn, girl.

Please thank whoever's teaching that fitness class

you're in for me personally.

- Oh, you like? - I do.

- It's called camera ready.

- You still thinking about that modeling stuff?

You don't need them to validate you.

- Just relax. I'm getting into shape for me.

No other reason.

Excuse me.

Looking strong, looking strong, switch.

That's right.

See what you want to do is, you want to get deep in there.

You want to feel that right here, you feel that?

- I could, I could actually go a little deeper,

I can only go, - Um, well, you see,

well, you're feeling that, you feel that right there?

- Yeah, it's tight back there.

- It's tight right there, right?

- [Tai] Just squeeze it, just squeeze it right there.

- Lance, right?

- Yup.

- What are you doing here, you have a pick up?

- Actually, I'm here for you.

- Excuse me?

Oh wow, thank you, I didn't even realize I left it.

- I figured you'd be here.

- That's very thoughtful of you, thank you.

- Uber?

Wow, you guys stay working.

Scuzies, I got people to handle, call you later?

- [Sasha] Okay.

- Bye, Uber.

- Actually, it's Cruz, they always get it wrong.

- Sorry, look, thanks again for dropping it off.

- What are you about to do?

- Excuse me?

- I mean, I don't have anything on my agenda,

you just got done working out,

you just gave me 10 bucks like I'm your paperboy,

well, why don't we use this 10 bucks and go get some food.

- I'm just a starving artist who drove all the way over here

I mean, who knows when I'm gonna eat again,

I'm using this to pay for the gas that I used to come,

it's cool, enjoy your bag.

- Alright, fine.

Just a quick bite.

Follow me.

- Gladly.

(serious music)

- Shit's highfalutin' heifer over here.

- So what track you get caught trickin' on?

Oh, what's wrong?

Your daddy couldn't pay off the judge?

- Don't make her cry.

- Ms. Wilson, thanks for waiting.

(laughing)

Can you wait in my office?

It's the last door on the left, right around the corner.

Make sure Elaine gets that? - [Woman] Yes.

- Whoa, whoa, wait, wait, $200 dollars.

Transfer her to my caseload.

- Never.

- Well, guess I'll just have to settle for you.

Lucky us, huh?

- Hello, Ms. Wilson.

How are you doing today?

- Good.

Is that your wife?

- It is my wife and my child.

- They're beautiful.

- Thank you.

So I have to say that your conviction was for...

a rather violent offense.

Felonious assault, extortion, attempted murder,

breaking and entering, and I see here's some petty theft.

But I did look at your file, I read it thoroughly in fact,

and I did see the abuse

that your ex-boyfriend put you through.

- So you know I did what I had to do.

Sooner or later he was gonna beat me to death.

I just hope that piece of shit gets his third strike

and rots in jail.

- Hope he rots in jail, huh?

- Yeah.

- Ms. Wilson, that piece of shit, as you put it,

is a man you said you loved,

at least according to your statement.

An educated, clearly beautiful woman,

decided to make a choice to be with a...

drug-dealing thug.

This was a choice that you made.

He was the man you decided to be with.

I'm talking to you, Ms. Wilson, wasn't that your choice?

- Yes. - You decided to do that.

It's gonna be your choice to turn this around.

It's gonna be your choice to make

better decisions for yourself. Am I right?

I asked you a question, Ms. Wilson, am I right?

And it's gonna be your choice to change your life.

And I hope you do.

- I'm not a criminal.

- But Ms. Wilson, the fact that

you're sitting in my chair right now,

the fact that you're in my office,

the fact that you are here, tells me otherwise.

You nearly killed a man by beating him with a flashlight.

That was your choice.

Are you ready to be transparent?

Ms. Wilson, are you ready to be transparent?

I'm asking you a question,

are you ready to be real with yourself?

- Yes.

- Because that's what it's gonna take.

It's gonna take you being honest with yourself.

I can't make that choice for you, you have to do it.

I'm here to help your transition be as smooth as possible,

and I believe I will be.

- How can you be so sure, huh?

- 'Cause this is what I do.

Besides, the judge that handled your conviction

is a very good friend of mine,

who's also an excellent judge of character

and he's the reason why you made parole.

- Well, since he's such a good friend...

why don't you ask him to terminate my parole early?

- Uh-uh, uh-uh (laughs)

that's not the way this thing works, okay?

You know better.

Take this up to the front,

Elaine will have a few more things for you to sign,

and good luck to you.

- Linda would like you to file these please.

- Thank you.

(beeps)

Yes, Curtis?

- I need you to run a background check on a Terrence Jacobs,

any known addresses, and any known convictions.

- Who's Terrence Jacobson? May I ask why?

- Just do this for me please.

- Got it.

- Love the choker.

- Hmm.

- 'Kay.

(soft electronic music)

- You know that fast food's gonna

catch up to you one day, right?

- You sound like my ex.

She used to say the same thing.

I said, as long as I maintain these abs,

I'm not changing a single thing.

- Speaking of abs, my husband used to say that too.

- Oh, he works out?

- No, used to.

Well, not as much, now he just works a lot.

He's a parole officer.

- Hey, what about you?

You love your full-time gig of being a mom and making jewelry?

- Yeah.

I mean yes, of course.

Why?

- I don't mean to be out of line, but I just feel that,

you just don't seem fulfilled.

Okay, I mean, I was blown away

by your energy when you talked about modeling.

Look at these.

- You did these?

- Yeah, yeah, I'm still building my portfolio,

but my uncle says I get it from my parents.

I know.

Both my parents were artist, but my mom, she,

she was the photographer.

She had a great eye.

- Does she still shoot?

- My um, my parents passed away when I was seven.

Car accident.

- Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry.

- But don't, you don't have to get sentimental on me,

I still have my uncle

and I still get to carry out their legacy through my photos.

I don't know, it makes me, it makes me feel alive.

- Mm, I know how you feel.

Anything that makes you feel like that,

you gotta keep doing.

And I'm sure you make your uncle proud

and your folks would be too.

- So how 'bout we make each other feel alive?

Let me shoot you.

- Are you serious?

- I'm dead serious,

and you could even wear your own jewelry to promote it.

- No, no, I can't, I can't.

I don't have time.

- You just said you gave it all up for marriage and a baby.

Recapture that feeling again.

Remember what it's like to feel alive.

- I can't.

Thank you for lunch.

- [SASHA] Pick up.

Hey girl, that Cruz guy wants to do a photoshoot on me.

- Huh?

- Cruz, Uber, Uber guy.

He's actually a part-time photographer and I'm thinking,

I might be able to get a good portfolio out of it,

start modeling again.

- Uh huh.

- Tai?

- Mm-hm, I'm listening.

- I know you are not having sex right now.

- Girl, no!

Um, I'm just doing some research for my blog.

- What the hell is going on over there?

- Huh?

- [Sasha] What are you doing?

- No, I'm listening, I'm listening, go ahead.

- [Sasha] Oh, okay, so the Cruz guy,

he's actually a photographer and he's pretty good,

so he wants to take pictures of me,

so I'm thinking that maybe I can get my portfolio together.

- Girl, make sure you wear the push-up bra.

- [Sasha] That's a good idea. - Hey, um.

You got some extra condoms?

- Oh, hell no. - [Sasha] Tai?

- What do you think you're doin?

- [Sasha] Tai, are you listening to me?

- You, get out.

- What do you mean, get out? - [Sasha] Tai!

- Hold on, what kind of girl do you think I am?

- I thought you was the type of girl

that wanted to use protection, but I don't,

listen, I don't mind going raw, like,

that works for me if you don't,

- You know what, Perry, I'm just, I'm sorry,

I'm just not ready for all that.

- You're not ready for all what?

You just had me in there eating the whole thing,

groceries and all!

- It was a fair job, but this is just the beginning,

I don't want you think I'm like this.

- You know what, you know what?

Ooh...

- [Sasha] Tai?

- What kinda girl you think I am?

- Hello, are you with Perry?

- Hell no.

- Mm-hm, you just be careful,

you're playing a dangerous game.

- Oh okay, speaking of careful,

what's going on with you and Uber?

I mean, is this photo shoot for real,

or is he gonna take pictures of you

on his iPhone or something?

You know, you gotta watch out for these psychos, girl.

- No, no, he's actually pretty good

from the photos he showed me.

- Mm-hm, he sounds Craigslist-y.

You gonna tell Guy?

- I'm gonna tell him, after my portfolio's done.

- What?

- Once I start working again, he'll be on board.

- Girl, you act like I haven't known you since high-school.

You can't hold water.

Guy is gonna find out and his ass is gonna be pissed.

- There's nothing to find out.

There's nothing to be pissed about.

- You know he's a control freak.

- It's work.

- I'm not here to stop you, I'm the last one, girl.

I want you to get your whole life,

all I got to say is Craigslist killers.

It made the news, girl, it's real.

- Daddy? - Mm-hm?

- I need you to sign my permission slip.

You think you can come with me tomorrow?

- Oh, tomorrow, baby?

- [Skyla] Yeah, I really want you to come.

- Sweetie, I got a whole lot to do at work...

so I don't think I'll be able to make it.

But listen, what I'm gonna do,

is I'm gonna take all of us, as a family,

out to the Santa Monica Pier, real soon.

- And we can ride the rides?

- Course we can ride the rides, girl!

- Yes, thanks daddy!

- Now go and get that permission slip, okay?

- Mm-hm, yes!

- [Sasha] Permission slip in the morning, go take a shower.

- [Skyla] Oh, Mom!

- You sure you're gonna be able to clear a Saturday?

It's not like you've been the most accessible lately.

- Accessible, Sasha?

You can reach me on my cell phone anytime you want to.

But getting a hold of you,

between your girlfriend meetings and your workouts,

that's a whole 'nother story, ain't it?

- My workout schedule has been the same for months.

Excuse me for spending time with my best friend once a week.

Should I have, like, checked in with you first, Mr. Officer?

- You know something? You're right, that was wrong.

I shouldn't have said that, my bad.

(sighs)

It's just this job, girl. Been stressed out.

Workload has been crazy.

You know, I been thinking, remodeling this whole spot.

Dining room, kitchen, living room, the whole nine,

just like a redo.

I know how much you love remodeling,

maybe it'd be a nice little break from your jewelry line.

- Maybe. - Maybe?

- Lord knows I get bored as hell around this house.

I could put up some of my old work,

maybe even add a few new photos.

- Are you still on that?

I'm trying to talk about new stuff

and you keep on talking about these old hobbies.

- Hobbies?

- Yes, hobbies.

- I seem to remember making as much as you.

- Sasha, please.

- And I was on hold for two cover shoots

before I got married and had Skyla.

- Alright, listen, you know, I'm so sorry

that you did not make the cover of King magazine, alright?

- Oh yeah, King Magazine. - Well listen,

I don't want you to be on any cover, Sasha, we talked...

We've had this discussion a thousand times.

I do not want my wife on the cover of any magazine.

I don't want you doing these, these cover shoots,

dudes falling all over you.

It drives me crazy, alright?

Just be, be my wife,

and be the mother of our daughter, that's it.

- I'm more...

- Don't even talk about it no more, alright?

This is over.

We already talked about this a million times.

Sasha, please, don't, don't even mention this to me.

- I am more than a wife and a mother, Guy.

- I know you are more than wife and mother.

- I have things I want to do.

- Got it, Sasha, I know, I'm aware.

- This is not just about you, Guy.

I'm in this relationship too.

Look, I want more than this house and my damn jewelry line.

Babe, I just want to go back to doing what I love again.

Modeling, while I still got it.

- Sasha, where in the hell is this coming from, babe?

What you gonna do, be a professional model?

- [Sasha] Well, what's wrong with that?

- And what happens to our baby girl

while you're out there chasing your dreams, Sasha?

Did Tai put you up to this?

- No.

- I swear to God, I'm out here every single day,

busting my ass to make sure

I give you everything I ever promised you,

everything you ever wanted.

Everything you ever wanted, Sasha,

so I'm sorry if being married to me

doesn't make you completely happy.

- Oh, you stop twisting my words, Guy.

- I'm not twisting your words.

- You know damn well

I only wanted to stop until Skyla went to school.

- The answer is no.

Do you understand me?

The answer is no,

so stop pushing me all your damn pipe dreams.

- [Skyla] Mom?

- Okay, okay.

- Sasha.

- [Skyla] Mom, are you okay?

- [Sasha] I'm coming, Skyla.

(somber music)

- I have a good resume.

It's not like I don't have work experience,

but I can't even get an interview.

I don't know what to do.

Mr. Curtis?

Mr. Curtis.

- Yeah.

- Obviously something's wrong.

Do you wanna talk about it?

- With you?

- What's wrong with me?

- Nothing's wrong with you.

You know, I should have never have said that.

I'm sorry.

It's just...

just going through some,

some tough times right now, deeply personal.

- The reason why I'm dealing with what I'm dealing with

is because I never talked to anybody about it.

Whatever it is, it helps to talk.

- Yeah.

You are right.

It helps to talk.

You like Japanese?

- No.

- You don't, okay.

It's your treat then, let's go.

- But I get to pick, right?

- You get to pick, you get to pick.

Don't be pushy. - Awesome.

- Mm, this is such a good call.

- Mm-hm.

- I don't know when the last time I had a good hotdog.

- You should indulge more often.

- Please, my wife would kill me.

Well she has me on this strict diet,

wants me to stay lean and mean, so,

I would kill for a Krispy Kreme donut though,

I haven't had one since my honeymoon.

- Well, you look good to me.

Women like men with a little size on 'em.

Helps them feel protected.

- Protected? - Mm-hm.

- Okay.

When's the last time you felt protected?

- Terrence, stop.

(spooky music)

Terrence, stop it.

Stop it.

Let go.

Let go of me.

- [Man] Get up off of her.

(smashing)

(crushing thuds)

(crying)

- I don't remember.

But sometimes I wish I could just get off these papers

so I can move to Denver, start fresh, you know?

Be free.

It's so beautiful in the mountains.

What about you?

- What about me?

- Do you ever wish you could do something else

or do you like your job?

- Well my job pays the bills.

I've got a family to support,

sometimes you have to put your dreams on hold,

you know what I mean?

- I think you're being modest.

You're actually really good at your job.

I can't remember the last time

someone knew this much about me.

- I just try to take care of what's mine.

- Well I hope that someone's working just as hard

to take care of you.

- Wow.

I um, I gotta go.

I got a three o'clock and, um, I gotta roll.

Be good.

- Ah, hold on!

There.

Now go violate someone.

- Can't even fool a nine year old.

She knows I'm not happy.

- It's just, when are you all of a sudden not happy?

Look, if the photo shoot means that much to you,

then just do it.

Have you read my newest blog?

It's called Getting Your Life When You're the Wife.

- Yeah, yeah I read it.

- Alright, girl, I'm working on a new one now.

Can I hit you back?

- Is Perry there?

- Girl, bye.

- Bye.

- [TAI VO] I guess we all want what we can't have.

My best friend looks at me and sees freedom.

But what I want is the kind of freedom she has.

The freedom to lose yourself

and not be afraid of where it leads you.

But the thing about that race to the altar,

is that it gives you a false sense of finishing.

The reality is you're just running to start a new race.

And this race isn't about winning.

It's about staying in.

- It looks like somebody's ready for their big picture day.

Come here, baby.

Make sure Ms. Marcy gets a whole lot of shots of you, okay?

- I'm gonna be a model like Mommy.

- Okay baby, let's hurry, give your daddy a hug.

- Love you, girl. - I love you too, Daddy.

- Get your stuff.

- So, you're taking her to your mom's tonight?

- Yeah, was that tonight? I'm on it.

- How could you forget?

Your mom steals her every year before her birthday,

trying to outshine us.

Like Bible camp can ever beat going down to the pier.

- Sasha, I said I'm on it.

- Okay.

C'mon, babe, let's do it!

- Alright, y'all, don't get into too much trouble.

- [Skyla] I won't.

- Goes for both of you.

- Alright, so, I just need you to go do your exercises

like you do in class, okay? - Okay.

Um...

- Hey, do me a favor, can you uh, can you,

can you go, can you go sideways?

Okay, look, I just need you to hold that position for like...

Ah, look at me, look at me.

Beautiful.

- Thanks!

- Oh no, I was just talking about my photography,

like my general... - Well I have to admit,

this is my first time shooting in active wear.

- Yeah?

- Might be a welcome career change.

- Alright, well don't get too used to it.

Next step's the studio shoot.

I want to put my lights on you.

- What're you talking about, next step?

- Well, I promised you a studio shoot.

It's gonna be fun, you got this, alright?

Alright, let's get it goin'.

- Well yeah, this one's just a warmup for your benefit.

I promised you a studio shoot.

And if you're free tomorrow,

my boy's got a studio in his crib he's gonna let us borrow.

- Hold up, tomorrow, that's too soon.

Plus I, I really, I don't feel like I'm in practice yet,

and we don't even know how these turned out yet.

- Look, c'mere, look at these.

Honestly, um, I wanted to bring you to a place

that was familiar and comfortable.

You see, look, it makes the shots more fluid.

- Wow, they're not even edited.

- Oh well, sometimes when you edit things,

it takes away from the beauty it already has.

(phone vibrating buzz)

- Excuse me.

Hey, babe.

- [Guy] Hey, listen, I'm gonna be a bit late tonight.

- How late are you gonna be?

- [Guy] At least a couple hours.

- Fine.

- [Guy] Can you grab Skyla for me?

- Fine, I'll take her to your mom's.

- [Guy] Thank you.

- Hey look, um, I gotta go.

But are you sure there's nothing I can offer you?

I've got my checkbook in the car.

- No no no, this one's for my portfolio.

You wanna pay me back, you can just...

show up, tomorrow.

- Okay, I don't know.

I will let you know.

Okay, thank you.

Oh, it was great, I just, I felt so free, you know?

It was like a part of me that I'd buried

came alive in the pictures.

Lance is great.

- Okay, what I don't want you to do,

is set yourself up for a letdown.

And that is precisely what men are programmed to do.

- I know you're scarred, but that was cynical, even for you.

- You know what, I have said it in my blog,

that you do not read.

- I read it! - You don't read it.

And I will say it again.

You need to audition these men,

and you still don't give anyone the part.

That is how you maintain control.

- I'm, I don't need to audition.

I just need a photographer.

I don't need a relationship.

- Excuse me, for trying to protect my bestie.

(car rumbles in)

Oh, oh girl, I swear, I only get these pains in my chest

when Guy is close.

I feel like your husband literally makes me,

girl, he make me sick, girl.

Think I'm playin'? Come on, come on.

(muffled laughing)

Girl, I swear to goodness, (indistinct).

Guy! - Hey.

- It's always amazing to see you.

What a treat.

You remind me so much of Sasha's ex,

like every time I look at you, but you're shorter.

Where's your flashlight?

- Well, you know I'm not a corrections officer, Tai.

- Poor thing, if you keep on trying,

I swear to goodness, they're not gonna overlook you forever.

Sasha, call me. Go ahead, make a muscle.

Show 'em what I see.

(laughs) A lotta nothing.

Girl, I'll let myself out.

- See you later, Tai. - [Tai] Oh, rent-a-cop.

- I swear to God, that woman is either a stripper or a vampire.

- Oh stop, you know she means well.

- Yeah.

She don't look well.

Hey baby, did we get those pictures?

- What? I didn't take any... - No no no, not of you.

Ms. Marcy's photos of Skyla at the petting zoo.

- Oh um, I don't know, the carpool lane was crazy, so...

...like email the parents.

- Oh, can't wait to see those.

- Yeah, yeah. - Looking forward to it.

- So babe, I was thinking of maybe having

a girl's night tomorrow night

since Skyla's will be at your mom's?

- Yeah, see, I knew it.

With the howler?

Yes okay - She will be there.

- Well, just please, tell her not to say anything about me

in her janky-ass blog she got, alright?

But yes.

And lay off the men.

(soft peaceful music)

- Morning baby.

- Morning.

- What you doing? Turn around.

- Just something I found in my closet.

- I hope you're not wearing that for ladies' night,

you don't even wear that for me.

- I was just trying to see if I could still fit

into some of these old things.

- Oh, baby, look.

You are so fine...

still got a couple lumps here and there,

but you're working it out.

- [Guy] How you doing Linda, how can I help?

- I trust you've caught up on your caseload?

- [Guy] I have, although I have to admit,

this particular case with Faren Wilson

is pretty challenging.

- Speaking of Ms. Wilson, you need to toughen up on her.

We're not here for any of her sorority sob stories.

She broke the law, she goes through the process,

just like everybody else does, no shortcuts.

And I want a biweekly progress report on her too.

- [Guy] I'll make sure you get that, Ma'am.

- Good night.

- Yeah, he said he needed the car for work,

and since he owes me money, I figure I'm not gonna say no.

Shoot some pool, you wanna come?

- Well, I would, but, can't be late again tonight, man.

Not one more time this week, Sasha would kill me.

if she lets your balls go.

- Nicely done, yes,

I do remember a certain person having their balls

handed to them on the regular by their fiancee.

That was you.

- Yeah, and the best thing I ever did was

cut that lying cunt loose, man.

I mean, she had the nerve to say that those condoms...

- Condoms weren't yours, I know.

You told me, three times.

- We never used condoms.

- I know.

- God, I hate women, lying bitches.

Look, no offense, I love Sasha.

is making you feel like you're just unappreciated,

- Oh no, nothing came in yet.

But it takes a minute, but I'll you know, keep you in the loop.

- Alright. - Alright, good night.

- Hey, you know if you...

We could go back, for a little overtime,

might be kind of fun?

- Don't you have a blow-up doll to go home to?

Good night, guys.

- Mm, that was nice. Touché, that was awful.

I actually thought that I could put this behind me.

I'm so damn stupid.

What if he's following me?

- Oh no no no, just calm down, calm down, calm down.

Listen, I um...

I have to go to your place and do a check.

I planned on doing it next week,

but I'll just do it now okay?

I'll go by, make sure everything's fine,

Did you bring options?

- Absolutely, you can like, go through my bag,

tell me what you think.

- [Lance] Cool.

- So,

Lance tells me you were kind of a big deal

when you were modeling.

- Oh no, he's exaggerating.

I did well, don't get me wrong,

but I quit after I got married.

- Ugh, men.

They want you 'cause you're hot,

get you, and tell you to cool down.

- Well, come on, you know how my chef does.

- To new friends.

- [All] Yes, cheers!

(wine glasses clinking)

(soft music)

- Faren, no more stunts like that, okay?

Not ever.

That's my job.

You can't ever...

Why are you smiling? Are you listening to me?

- Of course.

And I'm also listening to what you don't say.

And you are too stressed out, Guy.

- Yeah, yeah. - You need to relax.

- I'm stressed out, alright?

I am stressed out because I got a promotion coming, my job,

my boss is on my back, your boyfriend, alright?

He's stalking you, he's probably stalking me,

so yeah, I'm a little bit stressed, I'm sorry.

- I won't apologize for that.

- What are you doing?

- Come and sit.

- You know, you can't just buy me off

with a Krispy Kreme donut. I love Krispy Kreme donuts.

- I know.

And I have a lot of making up to do.

- That was delicious, Felipe.

- Thank you, just a little something I threw together

for some old friends.

And one new one.

- Oh hey, you guys have to see the images

from the shoot I did with Sasha.

When I tell you the images are stellar,

it is not an exaggeration.

- No, he's not lying.

I mean, I hardly did any makeup on her,

I just highlighted her natural beauty.

- Yeah, that's all Nadine kept raving about

when she got home,

so I'm like, I had to meet this woman.

- I absolutely must see those photos.

You know, Lance, you shot our little engagement soiree.

- Yes he did.

It was an Adam and Eve type of vibe,

botanical gardens, we were one with the elements.

Nude, very sexy, very sensual.

- Very sensual.

- Very, very sensual.

- You are very sensual.

I'm sorry, guys, I'm sorry.

You know how much I love this woman.

- And you know that we don't mind at all.

You know, Lance, I noticed the other day,

that you are looking a lot leaner.

I mean, whatever you're doing, it looks...

looks really good on you.

- Mm, thanks, yeah,

I doubled my cardio, upped my protein.

Feels good.

- This is a little something... I made especially...

for you.

(group laughing)

Here you go.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Some things are made to be tasted

with a certain part of the palate.

Not the whole mouth.

Okay, so, just taste it at the tip.

- Mm, wow.

That's delicious.

- Yeah, that's exactly how I like to taste it.

- You know, I just love spending time with close friends.

- The pleasure is all ours.

- Just loosen up.

You got your whole life to be a tight-ass.

(Guy sighs)

- This is ridiculous.

- You taste good.

(soft music)

(moaning)

- Faren, this is ridiculous.

- A little aperitif?

(cork pops)

- You know, small, custom-made pieces.

Nothing major, but it's mine.

- She is being way too modest.

Sasha's jewelry is some of the best jewelry I've ever seen.

Very very provocative stuff.

Come on.

- Is that so?

You know, I've been looking for

a sexy replacement for my lower dumbbell.

- What's a dumbbell?

- Oh, you know,

- Oh, yeah.

Okay.

- I like to switch it up every now and then.

I read this blog, that says,

you know, if you switch up your look with your partner,

he thinks you're a new woman.

- I happen to like your little friend just the way she is.

- I know you do.

- You know, I think you should get one of those.

(soft kissing)

(serious music)

- You guys relax, okay?

Gonna bring some desserts in a few.

- You are so sexy, look at you.

You having fun?

- That was very interesting.

- I think you're very interesting.

- You should stop, they're gonna come back.

- Oh no.

Heaven forbid, somebody finds out you actually like this.

(kissing)

- You mind if we join you?

- Will you stop?

Sasha, Sasha.

Look, hey, would you just wait?

- Don't touch me.

- Okay, at least, let me take you home.

- You set me up, Lance.

- Baby, I'm sorry.

I thought you'd like it.

- Are you fucking kidding me?

- Look, Sasha.

- Look, it's my fault, okay?

I was wrong, I'm sorry.

- I'm tired of losing women in my life

because they don't know what they want.

And I know you want me.

- I don't want you.

I don't want you, Lance, I don't.

Stop trying to replace your last girl with me.

If you miss her that much, go get her.

Take her back to your damn swinger parties,

but let me work on my family.

- Look, Sasha, I broke that off with her

because she was my uncle's fiancee.

- Your uncle's fiancee?

- And that shit was just wrong.

- Whoa whoa whoa, your uncle's fiancee?

- This, this is the only thing that ever felt right

in my entire life.

- Are you Sasha Curtis?

- Shut up, we're talking.

Listen.

- Lance, you are sick.

You need help.

- Look, Sasha, if you don't wanna go back in there, fine,

but at least just talk to me.

- I will, and listen very carefully.

I don't want you.

Lose my damn number.

- But Sa...

(Faren sighs)

- I gotta go, I gotta go.

- I know, I know, I know.

You already missed work. Just stay a little bit longer.

- Come on, Faren, I gotta...

(loud banging on the door)

Are you expecting somebody?

- Uh-Uh.

(loud banging on the door)

Shit, it's him.

- It's him, who?

- How did he find me?

- Don't.

(dramatic music)

- How did you find me, Terrence?

- [Terrence] Is that any way

to greet your man after three years?

- Well in case you haven't noticed, I've moved on.

- [Terrence] We need to talk...

now.

- [Faren] Why are you here, Terrence?

- [Terrence] Huh? - The fuck?

You get this dude laid up, up in here?

- [Faren] Don't yell at me.

- [Terrence] Don't, don't tell me what to do.

- [Faren] How did you find me?

- [Terrence] How did I found you?

Don't worry about it, I found you.

- [Faren] How did you frickin' find me?

You know?

- [Terrence] Bitch, I'll kill you and him.

You think this is a game?

- Beating her ass.

- [Faren] Don't come near me.

- [Terrence] Your ass is about to settle down.

Do you think this is a game?

Got this motherfucker up in here,

you walking out here with your damn panties.

- [Faren] Are you done? - [Terrence] No, I'm not done.

- [Faren] Get out of my house.

How dare you come into my house?

Let go of me, Terrence. - You got some dude?

You got some dude up in the house?

Cry, cry, pretty girl.

- I'm not gonna cry.

I'm not gonna give you the satisfaction.

- Don't... (muffled, tense ambiance)

(crash and tinkling of broken glass)

(Faren screams)

(dramatic music)

(inaudible)

(thudding)

(thudding and grunting)

You ever come near my bitch again, I'll kill you.

You hear me? Go to sleep.

- Terrence, let go of him!

- What, bitch? You ain't gonna shoot.

(gunshot)

What... the fuck?

What, you gonna shoot at me?

Over this fool?

You disloyal bitch.

The only thing you did was piss me off.

Three more seconds and I'll bust another one.

- Faren, put the gun down.

- Yeah, Faren, put the gun down.

(gunshot)

What the fuck?

This... - I'm not afraid of going to prison

for messing you up, Terrence.

Get out.

- Alright. Okay.

(laughing)

You know it's not over.

I'll be back.

- Why the hell did you even open the door?

- Look, I thought that he was gonna leave when he saw you.

- Girl, what the fuck, man?

Where the hell did you get a gun from?

- Chill.

- Forget being in violation of your parole!

You could have killed somebody.

You know the neighbors heard.

- I know.

But it's a good thing I had it!

He's frickin' crazy.

- The cops are probably on their way here right now, okay?

You need to get a restraining order out on ol' boy.

Get his ass reported.

- You should too.

Look what he did to you.

- Faren.

- They can charge him for assault, right?

- Are you out of your mind?

- I can't talk to the damn cops.

I shouldn't even be here.

I could get fired for this shit.

Is that what you want, Faren, you want me to lose my job?

- No. - [Guy] Is that what you want?

- No.

- 'Kay listen, we just need to keep this quiet, alright?

Nobody has to know about it.

Just give me the gun.

Faren, give me the gun. I swear to God, I'll violate you right now.

Just give me the gun.

- How could you? - Just... (crushing sounds)

(glass shattering)

Damn.

My truck, not my truck, not my truck, not my...

This mother...

(serious orchestral music)

- Looks good, baby.

- [Sasha] Thanks.

- What's wrong, babe?

- I hate it.

- Well, I think it's beautiful.

- No, it's broken.

I can't fix it.

- Well...

if this is how it looks when it's broken...

I can't imagine how good it looks

when it's all fixed up.

- What happened to your hand?

Where's your ring?

- Oh it's... I was... Started up a game of racquetball,

and I just left the ring in my bag.

- A gym, when did you start going back to the gym?

- It's not important, Sasha.

You should just know how...

beautiful I think you are...

awesome I think your jewelry is,

I really think you're onto something with this.

- Honey, I... - Listen, I...

- You go.

- I know I haven't...

- Go ahead.

- ...been present, emotionally, lately, and...

- Honey, your job is tough, I knew that.

- I know, but it's...

There's no excuse for the way I've been acting, and...

you've been so good to me, Sasha.

- I have to tell you something.

- Okay.

(phone buzzes)

- Just... - I'll grab it.

- Yeah, get it.

- It's Guy Curtis speaking, what's up?

- [Terrence] Yeah, I know who da fuck this is.

- Um, yeah... Is there something I can help you with?

- [Terrence] I think you've helped yourself enough.

Don't you agree?

- Listen, since you decided to redecorate my truck,

why don't we just call ourselves even?

- [Terrence] Funny.

- Hey man, I don't know who the hell it is you think you are

but do you know who I am?

Who I'm connected to?

I swear to God, if you call my cell phone one more time,

I will jack your record up so bad

it'd be hard for you to get a janitorial job

at a middle school. Don't ever again call me.

(phone beeps)

Hey babe, it's work.

What were you saying?

- Nothing, I...

I'm probably just stressing about the show

and I wanted to apologize. I've been taking it out on you.

- If you ever need anything, Sasha...

I'm still your man.

(peaceful piano music)

And babe, um...

I'm gonna do better.

Promise.

- Me too.

(keyboard clicking)

(phone buzzes)

(phone buzzes)

(phone buzzes)

(phone buzzes)

(phone buzzes)

(phone buzzes)

(crickets chirping)

- You didn't answer your phone.

- What?

- [Faren] I called you three times.

- Faren, how did you get my address?

- You left something at my place and...

I thought that you might need it

to come home and play husband.

Faren, how the hell did you get my wedding ring?

- Don't you remember, silly?

You gave it to me for...

you know.

And you know, I would have kept it too,

but it's a little small for my taste.

So, when you get me a ring,

you're gonna have to do better than that.

- Listen, Faren,

I don't know what you think is going on here,

but this thing, whatever this thing is,

is over, okay? It ends now.

It ends tonight.

- You don't mean that. - No no, yes I do mean it.

You're in front of my house. My family is in there.

This isn't a good look, it's not sexy.

- So what, you just promise me the world,

fuck me, then send me on my way? You're a bitch!

- Will you keep your voice down?

- What if Sasha woke?

Oh, I wonder what she would think about this.

Let's see.

- You listen to me.

Listen to me.

I will put a parole violation on you

faster than you can spin your head

I'm not messing with you, Faren!

I'm dead, dead serious.

You are on my block in front of my house.

Now you will report to your new P.O. next week.

Get the hell off my property.

- Really?

- Really.

- I wonder what your boss would think about my reassignment.

I bet you she'd wanna know why.

(car starts)

(car tires screeching in the distance)

- Crazy bitch.

(soft, peaceful music)

(Guy sighs)

- Babe, you wanna turn off the light?

Sweetie?

- Yeah, yeah, I got it.

Hey sweetie, I got some sunglasses in the car?

- Probably.

- Thanks for the ride.

- And do you need me to pick you up too?

- No, like I said,

the only slot the mechanic had was 10 A.M.

so I just let him go ahead and tow it.

I'll get Kev to bring me back home.

- Oh, it not like that, babe,

but like, a wheel alignment needs a tow?

- You got the keys.

(jingling keys)

Bye, baby.

Love you. Have a good day now.

- You have a good day too.

Tell your team, I can't wait to see them on Saturday.

- That's right. They can't wait to see you either.

You got something over here.

- Good morning Mr. Curtis.

- Faren, Ms. Wilson, you're early.

What are you doing here?

- And you must be Mrs. Curtis.

You're even more beautiful than Guy described.

- Well thanks.

So you're gonna be coming to the party?

- No.

She's a client

who I'm just trying to help out a little bit.

Baby, actually, she's a bit crazed.

See the look in her eye, a little bit bananas, right?

But she's harmless.

Is she looking right now? - Yeah.

- You know, since you're here early,

why don't I take you upstairs and get you processed, okay?

Is that alright? - Okay.

- Baby, I love you - I love you.

- More than you know.

Alright.

- It's very nice to meet you, Mrs. Curtis, have a good one!

- Faren, I'm transferring your case.

I can't deal with any harassment.

That was my wife, okay?

I won't deal with this.

He came back.

When I got back, he was waiting for me.

And he said he could smell you on me.

- Oh, my God.

- And then he started to threaten that he would kill me.

- Faren, Faren, listen.

You have to call the police, okay?

But you have to leave me out of it.

There'll be way too many questions asked.

Faren, I have a wife.

I have a child, okay?

I love my wife.

- So you're just gonna abandon me?

Is this the kind of man that you are?

- Faren, I'm a married... I'm a married man.

That's the kind of man I am.

So, it was my fault, okay?

I'm sorry I let this get out of hand, it was my fault.

It wasn't yours, but you need to call the police.

They can put a restraining order on him, I can't.

He will get the message and he'll move on.

Faren, you're sweet, okay?

You're a sweet girl, but all this drama,

you showing up at my job?

This shit is over.

It's a wrap.

Do you understand me?

- Listen to me, pompous prick.

You are not the first married man I've dealt with.

You're just the first one I was stupid enough to fall for,

so get off your high horse.

You told me that as your parolee,

that I was safe with you.

Well clearly, that's not the case.

So the only thing that you can do for me is

put in a request for an early termination of my parole

and you might as well mail me the highest recommendation

so that I can find a damn job.

You already know the address.

- Faren, keep your damn voice down! It's not that easy.

- Man up, Guy.

I suggest you pull a little favor with your friend,

Judge Pierce, was it?

Because if you don't,

you're not just gonna lose a promotion,

you're gonna lose a job.

- Do you know who's in there?

- No, I'm trying to figure it out.

- What kinda hell's gotten into him?

He never gets this worked up by parolees.

- I don't know.

Maybe these... (Kevin clears his throat)

- I got work to do.

- Take this to my office, please, thank you.

- [Faren] All you have to do is do what I ask you to.

- [Guy] That's all I'm saying, that's all I can say to you.

I didn't mean... - [Faren] Sorry's not good enough.

- [Guy] Let's just try to talk this out.

- Mr. Curtis?

Ms. Wilson.

Is everything okay in here?

- No.

Honestly speaking, Mr. Curtis has been

a complete asshole to me and I was beginning to think

that he didn't even care

if I was gonna get on my feet or not.

But as it turns out, it's just his tough love.

And I'm sure I'll be exactly where I need to be in no time.

- I see.

That's good to know, thank you, Ms. Wilson.

- Thank you.

- Glad to see you finally got things under control.

That's exactly how you're supposed to treat those parolees.

Let them bang their own damn heads

and ice their own bruises.

Between you and me, no way in hell

did I want to give Kevin that promotion.

Way to go.

Oh, and Guy...

could you take on any new cases between now and Wednesday?

Now that you've gotten things under control,

I'm gonna take a few sick days.

Good job.

(Guy sighs)

(soft music)

- Shit!

- Damn, you look hot when you're sweaty.

- Lance, what are you doing here?

- What if my husband was home?

- Home?

Yeah, but he's not though, is he?

- Look, I already told you, you and I are done.

That stunt you pulled the other day...

- I brought you something.

- I figured you deserved to have a portrait

hanging on your wall

and thought that your insecure-ass husband

wouldn't even think to do it.

- Lance, this is really beautiful.

I should have done this a long time ago.

You have to promise me,

to never to come to my house like this again.

Take it.

- I'll do my best.

You jog every day at this time?

It's good to know.

(soft music)

- Yo Guy, wait up.

- Yeah.

- Hey man, you okay?

- Yeah, just a crazy workload, hellish.

- Well, you know, if you need me

to take care of Ms. Wilson for you,

I think I could make a little room in my schedule.

She's so fine, I'm telling you,

I'd work on Saturday for that criminal.

- Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Kevin, Saturday.

- Yes? - Almost forgot.

My wife, she's throwing a party and...

I told her I'd wanna invite my friends,

you're my friend, so you gotta go to the party.

- What kind of party? - Just a party, Kevin.

- What kind of party?

- It's a jewelry party.

- (Laughing) A jewelry party.

- Yeah, it's gonna be fun. She does jewelry.

- No, second off, no way, jewelry?

- Kevin, let's see, she... There'll be free food

and free wine, and she has a lot of hot friends.

- Okay, I'm there, for you.

- Yup, you're a giver.

- Oh right, it's been given. - Elaine.

Yes, my wife, she uh,

- I already heard, your wife's got you recruiting.

Look, if I go to one more toy party,

pyramid scheme, wrap party, I don't know,

I think I might just throw up.

- Elaine, if you come, you have the whole day off.

- You can do that?

- The Iron Maiden's away, I can do what I want.

- Hm, deal.

- You know, wear something appropriate,

like you usually do.

- Uh, say something appropriate,

like you usually don't.

I'll see you there, Guy.

- She's good. - Yeah, yeah.

- I mean, that was sharp. - Yeah, I know.

- It was quick. It was right on.

- Bang, boom. Right in there. - No hesitation.

Hey listen, you're coming out with me tonight.

Yes, you need to loosen up, man.

My nephew's waiting outside,

we're gonna go to the pool hall,

drink some beers, play some games.

What do you say? You in?

Gonna be fun.

- I could use a drink. Good call.

- That's what I like to hear.

- Hey man, I'm gonna see you later, alright.

- Kevin, what happened to that case, wrote them last week?

Remember you were telling me about that?

- Crazy Alfred, yeah. - Alfred.

- Alfred comes into my office carrying a pocketknife.

- Are you serious?

- I go, "What are you doing?"

He goes, "It's my favorite knife."

(Guy laughs)

Man, you can't have that.

- You dummy!

- You realize I could violate you?

Yo yo yo, here he is, on time as usual.

- My bad. I'm a little late, Unc.

- That's alright, no worries.

- So, Guy, this is my nephew, Lance.

- Nephew Lance.

What's going on, brother?

Kevin I always told you were light skinned, brother.

(laughing)

But for real, your uncle tells me

you're turning into quite the photographer.

- Yeah, he's alright. - Yeah, so's your cooking.

(laughing)

But between acting and photography,

something's bound to take off.

- Congrats, man, congrats.

I'd love to see some of your work sometime,

whenever you get a chance.

- I just-I just printed these out.

You know, every girl wants to be a model,

but I think I found-

I think I found a winner. - Wait till you see his stuff.

Oh, man. - Enjoy yourself.

- This is for me?

- For you, There's one in there, yeah.

It gets better.

- [Guy] Oh, she's beautiful.

- [Kevin] We are in the wrong line of work, my friend.

- Now this one, down here, you can't see the bottom of it,

but there's a world of pleasure.

I'll just put it like that.

- I'll bet. You know something, man, this is a good look.

I mean, I'm just looking at a few of them,

and you got the eye.

My wife wants to get back into modeling, man,

she's been bugging me about it.

Maybe you can shoot her sometime. She's beautiful.

Five eleven, tall, I don't wanna sound like a creep,

but my wife is beautiful. - No, that's not bad.

- Wow, is she thick?

- What's that?

- Hey man, alright, as much fun as this is, looking at it,

it's exquisite, let's say we get to the pool hall

so I can take some of your money.

Get your asses in the car, alright?

- He hasn't beat me since he had hair.

- [Guy] You know something, I have no problem believing that.

- [Kevin] There we go. - Yeah, there we go.

- [Kevin] Lift my seat again?

- [Lance] Listen, it's not my fault you're five seven.

- [Kevin] Ouch.

(peaceful music)

- Hey babe, where you been?

- Hey, sweetie.

Well...

I was with Kevin for a guy's night.

Bananas.

- Good, good for him.

How's he been since the breakup?

I know you said it hit him pretty hard.

- Yeah, no, he seems to be doing a lot better.

You know, Kevin just needs to find someone he's passionate about,

then he'd be good. - Yeah.

- Speaking of which...

modeling.

I've been thinking...

I know how important it is to you,

so I'll be cool if you took a few shots.

As long as they're not too racy, Sasha.

- Wow.

- Mm-hm, I'm trying.

- Where did that come from?

(Guy sighs)

- I just never want to get in the way of your happiness.

I know it means a lot to you.

I even know a photographer you might like.

Real talented dude.

You want something to drink?

- Yes, please.

Oh, uh, babe, I almost forgot.

(dramatic music)

(rustling paper)

Everything okay?

- Yeah yeah, everything's good, it's just um...

photos from this crazy, crazy case I'm working.

Apple juice, right?

Got it.

(upbeat music)

Oh, Tai, thank God. Bless you.

- Mm, uh-uh. See I just know my girl.

Now if you really wanna bless me,

you could come up off this $40 dollars.

That I just spent to feed your guests.

- You want $40 dollars for all that?

- Uh huh. Hey girl!

- Sasha.

- Tai! - It looks beautiful!

Tell me, what can I do to help?

- Nothing, go enjoy yourself.

- Okay.

♪

- Oh look at this.

- Hey, Elaine.

- Oh hey, Guy.

This is my fiancé, Felipe.

- Fiancé, I didn't even realize.

- Never asked.

- Felipe, it's a pleasure.

- The pleasure's all mine.

- Sasha, sweetheart?

Sasha. - Yeah.

- Hey, this is, uh... Sweetheart?

This is Elaine, the awesome administrative assistant

I was telling you about.

Elaine, this is my wife, Sasha, and Felipe.

- Very nice to meet you.

I've heard so much. Oh, and your jewelry is astonishing.

- Thank you, Elaine, right?

- Yes, Elaine.

Guy's told me so much about you.

Obviously not enough.

- Have you had any good food lately?

- So this is crystal, these... - Hello, beautiful.

- Oh Kevin.

- How are you?

- I'm good. - Wow, look at you.

Yes!

I brought beer, don't worry, it's light.

And, this...

is my nephew, Lance.

Now listen,

now, you might be able to suck some serious cash

out of this guy because he's talking about

getting a sweet something for somebody special.

Isn't that right? - Yeah.

- I'm going to say hello to Guy. - Alright.

Lance, you need to leave now.

- What?

- Just leave.

- Is he here?

- Lance. - What?

- What are you doing here?

- Came to get jewelry.

- It's not funny. My husband is...

- Lance, ah, so glad you made it, man.

- Absolutely.

- Sweetheart, this is Mr. Lance,

he's a very very talented photographer.

- Hey, Uber!

- I see you know Tai, but everybody knows Tai.

- I don't.

But I'd like to.

- Oh, but I know him 'cause he drives me around sometimes.

You know my ass is lazy.

Hey. - How are you?

- She's funny.

Did you guys meet?

- Yeah, it's been an absolute pleasure.

- Fantastic.

I'm gonna get a drink for you, alright?

- No, baby, stay.

- No no, I'll be right back. - Okay.

- So that's your husband.

I think you could do better.

- Lance, leave, please.

- I will... when I'm ready.

It's a great party.

- To my wife, and the great love of my life.

Who manages to make her pieces on the outside

as beautiful as she is on the inside.

To Sasha!

- [All] To Sasha!

- To Sasha's beautiful insides.

Aren't they great?

(crowd murmurs agreement)

Mm, it tastes so good.

- It's so good. Did you make that?

So what do you do, Tai?

- Oh actually, I write a sex blog.

It's called Ready or Not, I'm Still Gonna Come.

- Oh my God, you're Tasty Tai?

- Yes! - Dayton, that's right, okay.

I have a girlfriend who's from Dayton.

- Oh hey, Guy.

- Thank you so much for coming.

- Just a moment. - Yeah yeah yeah, of course.

- Oh, Guy, Guy, come here.

Your friend Terrence?

Yes, Terrence is here.

- Guy.

How you doing, old friend?

- Good, I'm good.

- You know, your wife was just telling me

how you financed her jewelry line.

You know, I just love seeing faithful couples

who really and truly love each other.

You know, the real deal.

And besides, you have a very beautiful wife.

I see why you keep her hidden away.

- Thank you Terrence, that's sweet of you.

So, how do you and Guy know each other?

- Well babe, we barely even know each other.

- We do have a very close mutual friend.

You know how that is.

- Okay.

- Sweetie, do you mind if Terrence and I catch up?

- Of course not.

It's a pleasure meeting you, Terrence.

- I give hugs.

The pleasure was all mine.

- Feel it, it's like, got weight to it.

So you guys browse, shop 30% off.

- Thank you. - Enjoy.

Oh.

- Mm-hm.

- Excuse me, I was just going to the bathroom.

- No worries love, maybe I should join you.

- No, I think I'm fine.

- Oh, you're definitely fine.

But I thought we established that the other evening.

- Make it back soon, we have much to talk about.

- You cannot make this shit up.

I'm thoroughly enjoying myself right now.

- Party has started.

- Girl, what is going on with you and Uber?

- Tai, please, I promise I'll tell you everything after.

- And who the hell is that? Yes, lord!

- Some friend of Guy's.

Can you just watch things for me?

I have to go the restroom.

- Okay I'll watch, just come right back, girl.

- Pull it together.

Pull it together.

(dramatic music)

Hey.

Please, don't.

- I bet he doesn't touch you like that.

- Lance, stop.

- You smell good.

- Lance, no.

- He don't grab you like that, does he?

- No, I'm gonna scream.

No.

- We both know that's not true.

- I haven't seen her.

I'm trying to reconcile with my wife.

- So Faren wasn't with you yesterday?

- Oh no, Faren wasn't with me yesterday,

she's probably off to her next victim.

- Mm.

Okay.

But it still doesn't put you in the clear.

But you know, I should- I should get a chance

to sample that tight ass on that wife of yours.

I mean, that would only make it fair, don't you think?

- If you even think about going near my wife...

I will end you.

- You might just have to.

I wonder what your wife would think about all this.

Hm?

Yeah, I know.

She'll probably grab your little girl,

and divorce your punk ass.

You don't want that, do you?

No, but the main question is...

how much would this little secret of ours be

worth to you?

- Get your fucking hands off me. Do you understand?

- Or what? - Or I'll scream.

- No you won't. No you won't.

No way you're letting your dirty little secret out.

With all your friends here?

Naw.

You wouldn't do that.

- Did you forget that my husband is a P.O.?

He knows every cop and every judge in the city,

and do you know what they do to rapists?

- Rape?

Oh, is that what this was?

How about... I tell Mr. P.O. everything?

- I wish you would 'cause this guilt is killing me.

- How much?

Give me a number.

- So, you're not gonna introduce me to your friend?

- I'm not going to introduce you, Tai absolutely not.

- Some people have no damn manners.

- Tai, is it?

- Mm-hm.

- Is that short for something?

- Just Tai.

How do you know Guy?

- (Laughing) How do I know Guy?

Well, you know, Guy tried to-he tried to steal my bitch.

(Tai bursts out laughing)

- Okay, y'all real funny.

You and your little parolee friend.

- Lance, I'm sorry.

Whatever I did to you, I'm sorry okay?

But it's over. - No!

After everything that we shared together.

After all the things we've done.

No.

You can't get rid of me that easily.

- Okay, okay, okay, okay, baby, okay.

Okay, okay.

How about... Lance...

How about we just share this whole thing to your uncle?

Or does Kevin already know that

you were the one that was fucking his fiancee?

Seems like we both have secrets.

- You... - Try me.

(muffled upbeat music)

- Alright, so how much?

- How much?

You get me a number...

and I'll be over there.

- So proud of you. - You're going?

- Thanks so much. - Thanks so much.

- Alright man, we'll see you on Monday. - Fantastic.

- I can stay and help if you want.

- No no no no no, go have fun.

- And you, congratulations. - Thank you, Kevin.

- Oh, okay. - Goodnight.

- You.

Congratulations, babe. - Thank you.

- I love watching you work.

You know how much money you made tonight?

- No I don't, do you?

- I don't either, but it was a lot.

- Alright!

- Listen, I'm serious about that photo shoot.

I support you, Sasha.

I want you to know that.

- Thank you...

but I think I want to focus on my jewelry...

and my family.

- You want to do that?

- Okay. - Okay.

Oh yeah, did I tell you,

Elaine and Felipe invited us out for dinner.

Couple thing.

Hey, Elaine said he can cook his ass off.

- Look, so if you made over a thousand dollars,

why am I always the one bringing the damn wine?

- Cuz you're the only one who's still drinking.

- Oh, please.

- A'ight. - This time.

- I wanted to share something with you.

- Girl, if this is about Uber, don't waste your breath.

I already know.

- You do?

- Yeah.

That fool is crazy.

He was inside the bathroom, cursing at himself.

Me and Elaine heard him.

We're waiting for him to come out the door,

he comes out, doesn't say goodbye, nothing.

I told you, watch out for them psychos.

- So, where did you end up last night?

- Girl, I told you, you don't have to worry about me, okay?

I'm actually in a...

I'm kinda of in a rel...

Don't make me say it.

- Seriously? - Maybe.

Look, for now, I'm trying to get on your level.

I mean, that interaction with you and Guy at the party,

y'all inspired a whole lot of people.

- Guy's pretty wonderful.

- Yeah Elaine, you know it's my day off, right?

- [Elaine] I know. You remember that background check

you asked for on Terrence Jacobs?

- Yeah? - [Elaine] Look to your left.

It took a while because he's been locked up by the state

for the last three years, federal.

I went through a whole lot of red tape to get that released.

Anything else?

It's rare to get a second chance

Our marriage isn't perfect, but I wouldn't trade it for...

for anything, or anyone.

I wish I could erase what I did,

but I'll have to keep this secret buried deep down.

I love my family.

I love my husband.

I mean, I really, really love him.

One thing's for sure.

I know exactly where I want to be.
