your love for the one and only Circle Pop.

Gonna steal up your pennies?

Here comes my blind sugar pop.

Hey, Lena.

Hey. You need a ride?

Not the kind of ride you're offering.

I think I'll walk home.

Okay. Good night.

Have a good night.

Hey, honey.

Yeah, I'm still at work.

Yeah, I'm sorry I couldn't answer your call.

Yeah, I'll be home soon.

Love you, sis.

She jumped out of the way like Wonder Woman.

And disappeared like the visible man.

Holy shit.

New York, New York.

All right, you're cool. Here you go.

All right, it's five to stay in.

Come on, Phil.

You hear me? I got you with this one.

I'm raising it 40.

And I'm out.

It's on you, Brad.

Brad, my hands are getting cold.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm in.

All right.

Check it out.

Those jacks sure as hell beat my nine. Finally. But not when they go together

with two tens.

It's the professor.

Okay, wiseass, your deal. What an expensive school it is.

Mama needs a new pair of shoes.

Do you hear this one?

Someone tell you to speak.

You know what your mouth is good for.

You know,

come sit with us.

You know, I'm not going to card.

Come on. Yeah. Come sit down.

He's having some tough night.

You know, I like to get one of those beers.

Yeah. Could you give my dad a beer?

Well, actually, I was in the apartment building when I received your text. And

what?

I was tired and I just came home. And I told the guy that you would get the

beer. Now, you know... Brad,

it's five.

Stay here.

Sorry. And now we don't have any. You couldn't go back out and get some? I

come on.

Sorry, I was tired.

I was working all night. I know, I know. I work. I work. My dad worked.

Marcus works. I mean, come on now.

That isn't the point.

Listen, sweet cheeks.

Grab some money, go downstairs and get us a pie.

Yeah, sure. No problem, Daddy.

All right.

You see, my girl works, and she ain't never tired.

It's hard to get them that good.

Damn hard, huh?

All right.

I'm going to call it Three Kings.

God damn it, what is it? You hiding cards?

Watch your tongue, boy.

I'm not Lena.

Guys, guys, come on.

I mean, you know what?

The witching hour has arrived, and things are starting to get to a halt.

am going to take my losses, and I'm going to go.

All right,

sweet cheeks.

Forget about the beers.

Yeah, we out of here.

Okay, sure. I'll see you downstairs.

I didn't mean that.

I just... Game. Fuck the game.

Bullshit money we play for.

You got bigger issues.

You, you got to get control of her.

This is happening too much, and she is embarrassing you, and that is

embarrassing me.

Your mom acted the same way.

I know, Dad. You'd have to bring that up again.

Gotta be a man of pride.

What a night.

What a night.

I tell you, luck is just not on my side.

Maybe next time.

Just can't figure out what's wrong.

Guess you can't win them all.

Cute.

But I'm not talking about the cards, babe. I'm talking about a... I give you

everything you need.

I take care of you, and you do that?

Look, I'm tired, okay?

I'm sorry about the beer.

It's not about the beer.

It's not about the fucking beer.

It's about the way you talk to me. It kills me. Brad. You do it in front of my

father, my company.

Please, please.

I didn't mean to.

Oh, you didn't mean to. You didn't mean to make me feel like less of a man. You

didn't mean to make me look like a man who has no control over his own fucking

heart. Brad, please.

You're getting upset again.

You're doing so good.

About your anger, please.

You're wrong, Nina. I'm not getting upset.

That was at the table.

I'm beyond that now.

Brad, please.

I love you.

Please.

Please, Brad.

I love you. Please.

Please.

I just thought... You see?

You see?

That's the problem, Nina. You thought.

You still thinking though?

You still thinking though? You should have thought before you opened that

mouth of yours.

I really love you. Yeah, yeah, you love me. Yeah, I love you too, Nina. I love

you too. You know what? That's why I don't fucking kill you.

Hey, Lena, what the fuck? You're late.

Sorry about that.

Holy shit.

What the fuck happened to you?

I got hit by a car crossing the street last night.

Guess I should have taken that ride, right?

Hey, Carl.

Yeah, she's here.

She's banged up pretty bad.

All that cover -up isn't necessary.

Nina, let me see.

Look at me.

He did a good job this time, didn't he?

No, it wasn't even like that.

It was my fault. I didn't get the beer. What beer?

I mean, I was walking, and this car came flying out at me, and I fell, and...

Oh, I know, a car with headlights with fists, right? Come on, Nina.

You guys look at me as some kind of comeback manager.

But I'm also actually human, okay?

It kills me to see you like this. You're such a pretty girl. And you let

yourself being abused like that?

How about a license plate?

What license plate?

Of the car that hit you.

Look, Carl, I was there, okay? I fell and it went by so fast.

All right, all right, all right. Take it easy, take it easy. You're a big girl,

okay?

And if you want to let this go on, that's your business.

But when somebody, you know, they complain, customers complain to me,

about this stuff, I cannot accept this at all.

I'm sorry, Nina. I'm going to have to let you go.

You talk to him.

Okay, ma 'am.

What exactly happened?

Well, the truth is that I was going to the store and I got mugged. And this guy

who mugged me took my money and he beat me up.

And where is the store?

Why didn't you call the police?

Is this the first time you got mugged?

I'm guessing not.

Okay. What are you, a psychic?

No, ma 'am.

I'm a domestic violence officer.

And I see this all the time.

And one thing I know that these muggers won't stop until the victim presses

charges.

Well, I don't know what to tell you, okay?

And my husband had nothing to do with this.

Who said anything about your husband?

Well, that's what everyone else thinks.

And it isn't true.

Maybe we should talk to your husband.

He must be concerned.

Although he did not call the police either.

Look, I don't want to press any charges, okay?

I just have to be careful when I walk.

There are no safe streets.

No safe rooms.

Let's start from the beginning.

Be honest.

Look, I don't want to press any charges.

Do you understand me?

I don't want to press any charges.

Okay.

Here's my card.

Here's my number to my office.

Just in case you want these muggins to stop.

Please.

Don't hesitate to use it, okay?

Man, I think that was Wonder Woman.

Yeah? Yeah.

It looked like she got beat up by Incredible Hulk.

Wow. Bad?

Real bad.

Wow.

Did you see my sister?

Sister? Yeah, my sister.

No, no, but if you want, I can go back and check. Oh, relax, relax.

You like eating out on the floor?

I'll take that parade off.

This is a misunderstanding.

We're okay.

I don't even know why they made a report the first time.

I didn't need an ambulance.

I was okay.

I told her, just leave me to my game.

I work all goddamn days.

He isn't like that.

I know all about this healing thing that you talk about, but I love her.

I love her from the bottom of my heart.

He is a grown -ass man. Do I look like I could hurt him? Are you kidding me?

They said you were bleeding.

A little.

Tell them.

Tell them we're okay. Hey, hey, hey. Talk to me. Do not yell at her, okay?

Here, you and I.

The report says they called an ambulance, and you refused it. Things

getting better, April.

I love him.

Giants. I wind up losing big money on it.

What kind of bullshit is this? I told the cops yesterday we are good.

I understand, ma 'am, but please... Ma 'am, nothing.

My name's Teresa.

Look, it's not a big deal.

Why are you guys back anyway?

Is she getting me locked up?

I gotta go to space.

Things got far and out of reach yesterday, but we're gonna be okay.

acting like I'm an animal. I'm a classy, well -kept... Educated female that

don't take no shit.

The report says that she threw an iron at you. Yeah. And she scraped your body

with an iron. Yeah, but all that's my fault.

Here's a number to save Haven. It's a group that helps victims of domestic

violence. I'm going to give you my card.

Call me if you have any questions.

Whatever. He ain't pressing any charges.

And I know you love him, but this is not getting better. Let me help you. Thank

you.

Call this number on the pamphlet if you need help or somewhere to stay.

All right? We're fine.

I'm not going anywhere.

Good luck.

It really was an accident.

Enjoy your game.

Not yesterday, not today.

Why don't you shut up and get on with it? I can't let her get arrested for my

stupidity.

I don't even know what to do anymore, officer.

I don't know what to do. Can you just tell me what should I do?

What should I do?

What should I do?

Okay.

Are you listening to me?

Off the record,

I don't care if people press charges or not.

You understand what I'm saying?

Yeah, I understand.

Stop calling us if you don't want any help. You understand?

Look at me.

You understand?

I understand.

All right. I understand.

We're good, Chris?

Yeah.

We're good.

You were good 20 minutes ago.

Yes, baby.

Lock the door when they leave.

Okay, baby.

Yeah,

yeah.

Oh, we can do that.

I can meet you later on.

Mm -hmm.

No, I found it online. Yeah.

I bought it.

Blue.

Yeah, it was blue.

You don't like blue?

Well, that's cool.

Then I'll return it.

You know what? I got to call you back, okay?

All right. Talk to you later. Bye.

Yeah, domestic violence auto on the air.

Central. Show's going.

Yo. Oh.

Ground control to Major John.

Come on, let's go. We got a job.

We got a job to go to. Come on.

Another job?

Yes, another job. What's wrong with you? A DV job. Come on. 3059 Newkirk Road.

Really? Another job?

Yes, another job. I'll buy you donuts later. Come on, let's go.

He passed by me, okay? He passed by me. Are you kidding me? I get off my bike

and I see that shit? I wasn't even talking to him. He was just there, okay?

I was not even talking to him. Why do you keep saying shit like this?

Look,

look. There's people here now. Don't answer that door.

Don't answer the door.

Don't.

So what happened?

Nothing. He just gets crazy sometimes, that's all, okay?

He just kind of acts like a jerk.

That happen tonight?

Yeah, but he's not a bad guy. Really, he's not.

Don't look at me like that.

You don't want to press any charges, huh?

No, of course not. I didn't call you. What are you even doing here?

What about the kid that's crying?

fine. She's just, she's upset. Voldy's screaming and yelling and can you, would

you guys just leave, please?

She's fine.

She's fine. What's wrong?

It's a kid, okay? It will live. Right.

Yes.

Wait here.

What?

This happened in the past.

Put your arms behind your back. You're under arrest. Get up. Get up. I didn't

anything. I do not want to press charges.

Come in my house.

Party's over, pal.

Back the fuck up slowly and put your arms behind your back.

Holy crap, there goes my back.

What's wrong with you? What'd you eat?

Jesus Christ. Yeah, I'm all right. Give me your hands back here, man.

Come on.

It's not so tough now. Come on.

Hey, hey, keep it down.

Shut up.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Oh, I must have passed out.

What are you doing up so early?

Early? It's 3 a .m. You didn't just pass out.

Oh, I'm sorry about that.

Man, what a rough night I had.

This big guy kept resisting arrest, you know.

We were wrestling all over the floor.

It just got rough.

Sounds like my night.

Only difference is, I walked away with cash.

You know, Don, what a ridiculous job I had.

You know, you try to help people who don't want to help themselves.

You get the calls, you get there.

They just don't want any help, you know?

It's just the same old nonsense.

Yeah, yeah. I know, I know. Here we go again.

We should go to bed.

It's not so easy.

You took my last Ambien.

I took two aspirins.

John, you're my brother, and I love you, but you made that mistake before.

Maybe I should go to bed.

Good night, sis.

You're really winded, man.

What, are you getting old on me?

Listen, even a guy my age can't train you. Yeah, I forgot.

You're the beast.

What's the deal, man?

You've been dragging ass all week long.

Not enough sleep?

Nah.

Just have a lot on my mind, you know?

I know.

Look, John, you and I, we've both seen a lot in this career.

We've got to learn how to deal with it and use it to our advantage.

Yeah, you're right.

Sorry about that.

Hey, no apology needed.

Let's just say you owe me one. So, let me take Dawn out one night and we can

call it even.

Don't make me shoot you.

What, are you kidding me?

Am I that bad?

No, that's not the point.

What's the point? She got a lot of creeps already grabbing at her. She

need another one. Oh, well, see, that hurt, man.

You're lucky I'm not driving, because if not, I'll kick your ass out and make

you walk. I'll probably get there faster.

Oh, my God.

But seriously, I'll be happy if she dated a guy like you.

You're letting me go out with her?

No.

I said a guy like you, not a guy that is you.

Sorry, pal.

Let's go.

Everybody's a comedian.

Everybody's a comedian.

Hey,

you're back early.

What's up? What's up? What's wrong?

Hey, Chris.

Hey, Don.

Looking for?

You should see me without a shirt on. Look.

Are you waiting for somebody?

No, why?

There's a white van outside with this strange guy.

He's looking at the house.

It's like he's waiting for someone.

No. Yeah.

Hey, Dawn.

Can I borrow one of your shirts?

Sure. It's in the top drawer.

Chris, go home.

Go ahead. I'll see you at work tomorrow. Relax, relax.

Just go.

Take care.

Who's that?

That is a friend from work.

She's having some issues, and she needed some place to stay.

What issues?

Her husband's being abusive again, and it's getting out of control.

Abusive again?

You mean this happened before?

Yes, and she wants help now.

You know, I deal with this all day at work.

I don't want to be no... John, listen!

She's desperate!

Okay? She has nowhere to go. And this is not an option.

Why not?

She's a friend, and you're a domestic violence cop. I'm a report taker for

people who don't want reports taken.

Why are you acting like this? Because this is not a place for battered women.

Get that through your head.

I want out of here.

I'm sorry. I'll leave.

I didn't think this was a good idea anyway.

No. You can stay. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, don't. She can't stay.

All right?

Look, I'm sorry.

I know you're going through some problems at home, and I understand that.

But I can't have you here. John, she needs help.

Can't you do anything?

Take a report.

Get the asshole locked up. Take a report? She doesn't want a report taken.

How do you know? I know her. You don't even know her.

I know her. If she wanted the report taken, she would have done it already.

Did you call the cops?

No, I didn't... Why not?

Stop being an asshole.

There's the phone.

Call 911, get yourself a patrol car. We bring him over here, he takes a report,

and we'll have him arrested. That's it.

Go ahead, call 911.

Go ahead.

Do it, Lena.

It's okay.

Yes, go ahead, do it. Do it, Lena. It's okay. Go ahead, call 911.

We're here for you.

Just go ahead.

I can't. Huh?

She can't.

She's just another situation.

Fuck you.

Now do you see?

Huh? Do you see now? She doesn't want any help. And you're an asshole.

It's me.

It's me.

Relax.

You all right?

I'm telling you, it was him.

He was following me.

What did he look like?

He was this weird looking.

He had a long trench coat.

He's the same creep that was outside in the white van.

Wait. John. John.

Hey, buddy, what's going on? I got here as fast as I could. What the fuck? It

never ends, buddy. It never ends.

John, are you okay?

I'm fine.

It's Lena that was followed.

It's Wonder Woman.

Yeah, we almost hit you with the car.

That's her? That's her, the one from the club. That's it, Lena.

You're staying with me.

You know what? That's a good idea. She should stay here. It's not safe. Until

figure things out. I'm sorry for bringing all these problems to your

Lena, you are not a problem.

We just need to find out who this creep is, okay?

Why are you two still standing there?

Get out there and find out if that creep is still lurking around.

Don't look at me. She's your sister.

Come on, let's go.

Lena? Lena?

Oh, Adil.

What do you have for me?

Really?

i'll talk to you later okay thank you

I'm so sorry. I woke you, didn't I?

That's okay.

I was just tossing and turning. But go ahead.

Do what you're doing. I couldn't sleep anyway.

Do you want some breakfast?

Hope you don't mind.

Dawn said I could make some breakfast.

I mean, it's the least I can do for having to stay here.

All right.

Well, that depends what you're cooking.

Well, I was limited to what I had. I mean, your fridge is stocked like a

fraternity house.

Well, we didn't have time to go shopping.

What are you making anyway?

I have...

Semi -Western omelette with onions, red pepper powder instead of red

peppers, and grated cheese instead of... Wow.

Sounds good, actually.

Well, save the reviews until after.

Oh, and I also made some coffee. You want some?

Oh, sure.

It's all right. I'll get it myself. Thank you.

Where's Dawn, anyway?

She stepped out. She didn't say where she was going. She did say she'll be

a little later.

Oh, I forgot to tell her that I wasn't going to be here.

Why not?

I have to get something, some stuff for my apartment.

You think that's a good idea?

Oh, yeah.

I mean, Brad's not going to be there. He's going to be at work.

All right.

I'll call the job before I go just to make sure.

All right.

Do you like it?

Oh, yeah.

I like it.

Can I put the music back on?

Right ahead. Be my guest.

I'll even rate you.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Yeah, there you go.

Nice. When I was little, my mom, she used to dance with me when we cooked.

What's my score now?

Well, give it a seven.

Give or take.

But your spin needs a little work there. Oh, okay.

Well, those in glass houses shouldn't throw sticks.

It's stone is the phase, okay?

And what, you think I don't have moves? I got moves. Ah, see who I'm moving? See

that?

Yeah, you do. I didn't say you didn't move at all. Right, right, right.

What about this one?

Hold on.

Yeah, Chris, what's up?

Like reported before, a neighbor called in a complaint of screams coming from

this home and Foster Avenue in Brooklyn, New York.

Police discovered the body of 32 -year -old Teresa Mendez.

Now far away was her husband, Alan Mendez.

He was found in another apartment. Unsure what exactly happened in this

tonight, it is clear that there was a struggle and female screams were heard

the next door apartment.

Are you okay?

We have Deborah Lukens on the scene at Foster Avenue in Brooklyn, New York,

reporting on the death of Teresa Mendez.

Did you know them?

And it looks like we might get some comments.

Hi, excuse me, may I please get a comment? Please stand back. There'll be

comment on this topic.

Still early in this investigation. Details have not explained what could

caused this to happen.

But we do know that officers were here recently and no police action was taken.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Everything's fine.

Let's get inside.

Brad Ruiz's office.

Oh, hi, Lena.

Brad's unable to come to the phone. He's on the other line.

Can I take a message?

Yeah, I just wanted to know if he was at work.

I wanted to bring him something a little later.

Oh, okay.

Yes, he's here.

Okay. All right.

Take care.

Bye.

Marty!

What?

What's so funny?

Lena just called.

She wanted to know if Brad was here.

I told her he was, because he told me that if she called, to tell her that he

was too busy to talk to her. Right, but he isn't here.

I know.

He's working from home for the past couple of days.

Well, maybe they're planning a nice romantic... Uh -huh.

Let's get back to work.

Nice to see you.

I thought it was time for me to come home.

To make things better.

I was hoping you would.

How come you're home?

Don't you have work?

No.

I took off the past couple of days.

I'm very upset about the fighting.

I couldn't bear being around other people.

Did Marcy say I was working when you called?

I didn't call.

I was just wondering.

I miss you, Lena.

I'm sorry. I was such an ass.

I want to make it up to you.

I made us a special lunch.

I was hoping you came home.

I just want to fight with you, Brad.

Good.

Let's enjoy a nice meal together.

Do you remember the first time we drank wine?

We were laughing until we almost passed out.

I remember.

That's what attracted me to you the most.

Your laughter.

We were some duo.

Everybody referred to us as Bralina.

Where's Bralina?

Let's call Bralina.

Who spills the drinks on the radio?

Raleena.

God.

I really do miss those moments.

Yeah, Hannah.

Hi, Inspector Williams. Is there someone I'd like to see you?

Please.

Sir?

Hey, Anna.

Go get someone.

So, um... I'm sorry.

You said your name was, uh... I didn't.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, uh... What should I call you?

Smith.

Jeff Smith? Jeff Smith.

Okay, Smith.

What can I do for you?

I have a problem I think you can help me with.

There's someone interfering with my life.

Well, I am a professional investigator and a former police

officer, so I'm able to help you.

If you like, what is this man doing?

Former police officer?

Yeah, and don't get nervous about the gun. It is life. Do I look like I'm

nervous? Oh, no, I was just saying.

Right. Police officer.

Mm -hmm.

Right.

That's a 9mm.

That was issued in 2001, which means you didn't retire in 20 years.

Were you fired?

No. Not fired.

Just asked to leave.

Right.

Now, you're good.

Maybe you should work here.

They'll have a job.

So, what's the problem with this guy?

Being a cop, I think you could figure this out on your own.

Maybe I am.

You see, this guy's a real scumbag.

A real low -life pervert who likes following around a woman.

And I have a problem with that.

Because this woman happens to be a friend of my sister's who's staying with

And I see this low -life scumbag parked outside my house.

And I get nervous.

And when I get nervous...

Let's just say I'm not ready to resign, all right?

So, what would you like me to do?

Make it stop.

Right now.

Listen, John, I mean... I said my name is Smith.

Yeah.

You did, didn't you? Yeah.

Look, John, I've been...

Working for Lena's husband, Brad, for years now.

Keeping tabs on her.

Right.

Have you become tabs on the bruises she's been having? Huh?

No, I only keep tabs on the money he pays me.

Right. I'd like to advise you not to get involved.

Brad's not at the table. Oh, I'm sorry. Did I come off as stable to you?

Let me tell you something.

The next time I see you by my house, or if I ever see your car parked anywhere

near Lena or my sister, I will hunt you down, and I will find you,

and I will beat the shit out of you.

You got that?

Really?

You keep smiling.

Oh.

Hey, John.

Don't get involved, John.

Uh -uh.

I didn't. It came to me, Williams.

Sometimes I wonder if there's two brats, one that I'm afraid of, And the other

one that I love.

And who are you with now?

The fun one, I think.

No.

There's only one Brad, Lena.

You know, I often wonder if there's two Lenas as well.

Let me explain.

There's my wife, who I love and adore.

One that would do anything in the world for me.

The only Lena I am, Brad.

No, no, that's where you're wrong, Lena.

You see, there's this other Lena who's deceptive and dishonest.

And I gotta say that that Lena isn't really good that way.

You should stick to the other Lena.

Now, why would you say that?

Well, for instance, the bag.

It isn't really for your friend's belongings, is it?

Relax. It's okay.

I know why you came here.

I'm willing to forget it all if you're willing to do the same.

A fresh start.

How does that sound?

That sounds good.

That's good.

That's very good.

Brad, let's just talk first, okay?

What do we learn about what happens when you think too much? Brad, please, I

don't want to... Don't think. Enjoy.

Brad, please, stop.

Brad? Brad?

Brad?

Hey, Brad, I'm sorry to bother you, but is it time for school year again? Candy

sale? Not now, Paul. I'm busy.

I'm sorry, but, you know, if I can just get your order of the candies, and then

you can just give me the money later, you know, I can... Paul, not now. I'm

spending time with my wife. It's understandable, but... Lena! Lena!

Lena!

It's okay.

I was up anyway.

I was a little nervous about you going after that guy.

Did you find out anything about him?

Oh, yeah.

I found him.

Well, who is he?

Some pervert.

I thought I was going to shoot his dick off if he got near you again.

I almost shit in his pants.

Well, thank you.

I mean, you didn't have to go after him.

Would you like a drink?

I don't think there's anything left for me.

Wow.

I had a bad day, but really, not like this.

No, I know.

Who's that?

Oh, that's my wife.

Mike's wife.

Do you have a daughter?

She's beautiful.

And where is she now?

Is she with Carmen?

How do you know her name?

You called me Carmen when I walked in.

I'm sorry.

Technically, yes.

Ex -wife of my little aunt.

Oh, my God, John, I'm so sorry.

So am I.

So am I.

What happened?

I shouldn't ask.

Sometimes it's good to talk about it.

My wife and I, we had our differences.

We separated.

And we divorced.

Then she moved in with her new boyfriend.

A real lowlife.

Used to beat on her.

He would verbally abuse my daughter.

And I told her plenty of times to leave him.

To leave him and she wouldn't listen.

Paid the blow life a visit.

You ever heard the phrase, what's good for the goose is good for the gander?

I started beating on the punk.

I was pounding on him until the cops had to pull me off him.

I almost lost my job.

The boy who ordered protection against me.

You can believe that.

No, you did what any father would do.

I couldn't get near them anymore.

That's when it got worse.

Carmen and her new boyfriend having an argument over who knows what.

Eddie picked up this chair.

Eddie threw it at her.

And she ducked it and missed her.

She died instantly.

My God, John, I'm so sorry.

She didn't have a chance.

The report says that he executed my wife and then himself.

Ten minutes time.

They're all gone.

My little angel.

You couldn't have saved them, John.

John, you couldn't have saved them.

I found out after the funeral.

I just couldn't get myself to go to that grave.

I just couldn't.

You got a problem, Brad.

What are you doing here?

What am I doing here?

I'm trying to protect you. As always.

You know, Williams just called.

You know that guy, Walina?

He's a fucking cop.

He went to Williams' office.

That's great. That's great.

You should have had control of this.

Control? How?

And she should have tied her up and starved her, put her in the tub of

hot water?

Yeah, enough, enough.

I'm not the one with a loose wife.

No, you're the one with the dead wife.

I told you to watch your tone, boy.

This, this has nothing to do with your mother.

It has everything to do with your fucking wife.

I'll deal with Lena. She loves me.

And she knows I love her. We'll be fine.

What the hell is this?

You're not my boy.

Who the hell are you?

You have turned into some kind of a whining woman.

What the hell is this?

She loves me. She knows I love her.

You know what your problem is? You never became a man.

Maybe not the man you want me to be, but I'm a man.

No, you'll never be a man.

How can you let others determine whether you can see your wife or not?

Tell me!

How can you let others decide if and when you can see your wife?

You p -

Australia. I've always wanted to go there.

Australia? Wow.

So far, huh? Exactly.

How about you?

I always wanted to go on a safari. You know, I see the wild animals.

That always interests me.

So why didn't you go?

I always ended up in the Caribbean.

Drink, beaches, bits.

John!

Are you ready to watch?

Yes. He'll have the tuna and I'll have the grilled chicken salad.

Sure, right away.

All right, I'll try it, but if I don't like it, I'm going to eat your salad.

Thank you.

Thank you.

If you like it, you owe me. I owe you.

Sorry to scare you.

Brad, what are you doing here?

What do you mean?

I came to see you.

You're my wife.

Someone is sitting.

Here?

I know.

Now I'm sitting here.

We didn't get to finish the other day.

I wanted to give you the necklace.

It's the one you saw in the... Not a lot.

You like it?

Yes, it's beautiful, but I... No buts.

Good.

I'm sorry to scare you, but what you're doing right now, this is wrong.

Your food should be out in one moment. That won't be necessary.

We won't be staying to eat.

Are you sure the gentleman before said... I said cancel the food.

Right away.

Brad, I can't keep going through this with you. I understand.

You need time to think.

But think at home.

I'll do whatever it takes. I'll stay out at night.

Whatever.

But this?

Whatever this is?

This has to stop, Lena.

I mean, you don't think I will let you leave me, do you?

I believe you're sitting in my seat.

I believe you're mistaken, officer.

This is my seat.

Officer?

And where are you going with that remark?

You're an officer.

You get paid to serve and protect, not break up marriages and prance around

other men's wives.

Men's wife?

Yeah.

Mom's wife!

What are you... Shut up.

Lena.

Lena! I mean, what kind of man does that?

Lays with another man's wife.

A pathetic one.

That's who.

What kind of man puts his hand on a woman?

New York finest.

Lena's hero.

She came to me.

She doesn't want to be with you.

That's your problem.

You think I'm scared because you're a cop?

You should be lucky that I'm a cop.

Because if I wasn't, you wouldn't be sitting there right now.

You see, Lena is my family.

Stay away from my wife.

I hear they miss her at the strip club.

Especially your sister.

Dawn.

Damn.

She has some sexy body roll.

Now you listen to

me.

hear that name come from your mouth again, that's going to be a big problem.

You see, we all have to protect our family by any means

necessary.

Worry about your own family, John.

Leave mine alone.

No, I'm not worried.

Like I said, stay the fuck away.

Are you working tomorrow?

No, why?

There's somewhere I would like to take you. Oh, yeah? Where?

Well, I'd rather not say.

It's a surprise.

Oh, okay.

But I don't want you spending money on me. I know you're not working right now.

No, promise.

It won't cost anything.

Right.

I have something to give to you.

You don't have to give me anything.

A gun?

Just take it.

I know it's not what you expected, but I was worried about you.

And ever since your husband showed up at the diner, I was thinking... Well,

isn't it illegal?

You better run from court than being dead on the streets.

Okay?

Just point and shoot. That's all.

Okay? I'll show you.

Here, slowly.

Okay? Just point, brother.

And shoot. That's it.

Easy, easy, easy.

There's something else I need to tell you. What, you got me a grenade?

I'm serious, Lena.

Remember the guy in the trench coat that was following you around?

That pervert weirdo guy?

Well, he's not a pervert.

Your husband hired him to follow you.

What? I don't know what else your husband is up to.

All right?

Just keep this in a safe place.

Just point and shoot.

Good morning.

Hey, morning.

Wow.

You're up and about so early.

Yeah. Paulina needed a ride somewhere, so I told her I'd drive her.

Really, John?

You're just going to keep lying to me like this?

What's wrong with you?

She's still married.

Yeah, I know.

I didn't mean for this to happen.

But you let it.

No, no, no.

You let it.

You're the one I wanted to hear in the first place. I didn't.

She was alone.

She was scared. She had nowhere to go.

What about me, Dawn?

I was scared. I was alone.

I've been carrying Carmen and Samantha's death with me for years.

For years, and then they... I'm human too.

I know.

I know. I'm sorry.

Look...

I forget sometimes because I always feel so protected by you.

I don't want you to get hurt.

Do you love her?

I don't know.

I'm just confused.

She's not Carmen, John.

And if you're doing this to make up for Carmen and Sammy, it won't work.

Donna, I don't know anymore, you know?

I got a lot of things in my head right now.

What to do, what not to do, who to help, when to back off.

Sometimes I wonder if the right thing to do is actually the right thing to do.

Or what I'm doing right now is supposed to be the right thing or the wrong

thing.

What are you talking about?

You see?

I'm still trying to figure that out.

Hang on.

Morning, John.

Morning. I know what you two are up to.

Have you even decided what you're going to do about your husband?

I didn't think so.

So, you ready?

Yeah.

Hello.

Hi.

Yeah.

Mm -hmm.

Well, today was a tough day.

Yeah, I confronted them. I told them. No, he's still married to me still.

I know, I know.

But I did tell them that they make a really cute couple.

So what are you up to?

Mm -hmm.

Yep, I'm just about to make me something to eat.

All right.

You make sure you don't work too hard, okay?

Well, it's up to you. What do you want to do?

Mm -hmm.

No, they're gone now.

Probably be gone for a while.

Hey, guess what?

I'm taking a shower now.

What are we doing here?

This is the cemetery where your daughter and your ex -wife lay peacefully.

You know I can't go in there right now. I know, John, and I know how hard this

is for you, but you have to.

I mean, you have to face this in order to let it go.

You should have left this alone.

John, where are you going?

You have to make peace with what happened.

I could never forget what happened, Lena. I'm not asking you to forget.

I'm asking you to forgive.

Forgive yourself.

You were a great father, John.

I'm not a father anymore.

Don't you get it?

I know this is hard for you, and I know that you struggle with this.

But I promise you, the bridge that you're scared to cross will lead to a

beautiful place.

You have to be strong and do this, John.

Bridge I'm scared to cross.

Can't believe you said that Nina what about Brad did you cross that bridge,

I'm ready to leave him.

I'm ready to leave him I'm getting a divorce

How you doing, sweetheart?

It's been a while.

I'm shaking right now.

It's like I'm just nervous.

Just feeling.

I'm sorry I haven't been coming around.

I'm sorry about a lot of things.

That's Nina. She's a friend of mine. Well, more than a friend.

But she's always telling me I have to learn to let things go.

How you doing, Sammy?

My precious little girl.

I just want to say that I... I miss you very much.

More than you know.

I just want to let you know that.

Man.

And I will give anything.

Just to give you that.

Best of luck.

See you again.

It's been hard.

Harder than these years.

I miss you so much.

So much.

It doesn't pass by when I think about you.

Something wasn't there.

It wasn't there for you, Mom.

I'm about to... I have to go now.

But... I

can't thank you enough, Linda. You don't have to thank me.

You helped me turn my life around.

Maybe we're meant to help each other.

I feel like our loved ones are always around us.

I know one is with me right now.

John.

It's just Chris.

What you were going to say?

It's okay, answer it.

Oh, boy.

This better be good, man.

Hey, look, John.

She's almost done with the medic, but they're going to have to take her to the

hospital because they've got to do that, you know, the rape kit.

I know.

How is she?

She got beat up pretty damn bad.

Hey, you taught her well, okay? She put up a good fight.

Look, listen, she's really not answering too many questions right now. But this

is common with these kind of situations, all right?

Can I see her?

Yeah, look, let her stay with the medic, all right?

Look, I got a couple of questions I need to ask you, all right?

Can you think of anybody who might want to do something like this to her?

Yes.

Brad. Who?

Brad, Lena's husband.

She's been having problems with him for a while.

So my sister let her stay with us for a while as well.

Then he hired a private investigator to follow her.

That's why he's fucking bad outside!

Now he knows where we live!

Do you have any proof of this? Yeah.

All right, look. We're going to go talk to this investigator, okay? Do you have

any idea where we can find him?

His name is Williams.

He's over at Beverly Road, 555 Beverly Road. I went to see him the other day,

and I told him to stay away from my house, Lita, and my sister.

You think Williams was capable of this?

No. Listen, I don't know, man. Can I go please see my sister, please? I want to

go see my sister.

Be patient. This is bullshit, man.

Look, John.

Don! Don.

Oh, my God.

Sir, please.

Please, she's been through a lot.

Okay, okay, I understand, okay.

Look at me, Dawn.

Look at me.

Oh, my God.

Sorry I should have been there for you. We have to go. I should have been there

for you.

Sir. Can I go with you in the ambulance, please? I'm sorry, sir.

There's only room for one, and her boyfriend is coming with us. Her

Yeah, you can meet us at the hospital.

No, listen to me. Just wait, okay? Wait.

Detective, can I get some help?

Listen to me. Look at me.

We got this.

We got this. We got this. Relax.

Where's Chris?

Holy shit.

Scared me.

Who did it?

You're that cop's partner.

I remember your face.

I don't know what's going on, but I had nothing to do with anything.

You had nothing to do with anything? Yeah.

You're the one who started this?

Yeah.

Following Lena?

Putting Dawn in danger?

I was only paid just to keep tabs on her.

Nothing else. Shut up! Nothing else! Shut up!

I'm not going to drag this any longer.

You tell me who fucking did it, or help me God, I am going to kill you and

everybody else I question before I find out.

I don't know.

You tell me now or I'll kill you. Tell me who did it. Tell me who fucking did

it!

Get up, you piece of shit.

Oh, my God.

You shot him.

He's a cop, you lunatic. A cop that was going to kill you?

Ungrateful bastard.

Here, hold this.

I don't want to.

Hold the fucking gun and watch the door.

I don't want to be in this anymore. Fuck all this. I don't want to be in this

anymore.

What did you tell him?

I swear. I did not tell him anything. I swear.

You were never a good liar.

John, did you reach him? No.

John. Nina, listen. Listen. Please listen.

I have to take care of something, okay?

John, you have to go to the hospital with Don.

No, I can't.

He raped and beat my sister. I can't do this. I have to take care of this. John,

I know what you're going to do. Please don't go. No.

Lena, please.

I have to take care of this. Please. John, I'm pregnant.

I'm sorry.

I wanted to tell you sooner.

Just let the detectives take care of this.

Please. I can't, Lena.

I can't let this happen again.

I can't.

I have to go.

John, please.

Oh, my God. What did you do?

What is this? What did I do?

I did what I needed to do.

Because you.

I'm man enough to handle your business.

I just needed to tie up some loose ends.

Wait, wait, wait. Williams?

Yeah. He knew too much about you, and he got ugly.

Yeah, you know the cop's partner?

He was there, and he got in the way. You killed a cop?

You killed a cop? Are you insane?

You think they're just going to let that go?

Come on, relax, relax.

They're going to think Williams did it. If you had half a brain, I would explain

to you what I did.

Man, listen, I could have handled this. Oh, you can't handle shit. I could have

handled this, okay?

You feel you always have to step in for me, but you don't.

This is my family, my wife.

Oh, so now you've decided to grow some balls?

Williams worked for me for years, okay? He didn't need to get killed.

So you ungrateful piece of shit.

He was going to tell the cops who we were and that we raped a whore. We?

I didn't rape anybody. You did.

Not me.

Hold on.

It's just my neighbor, Paul.

I don't give a damn who it is. You get rid of him right now.

What the hell do you want? I just want to apologize about the other day

Yeah, take your last breath.

Your last painful breath.

You fucking bastard.

You killed my only son.

I'll keep an eye on your sister for you.

Don't do it.

Are you fucking serious?

What are you gonna do with that toy?

I'm gonna point and shoot.

Hey. So,

how's work at Safe Haven?

Can you believe it?

They made me head counselor last week.

I'm so proud of you, Lena.

Yeah. It's hard work, but making a difference little by little.

And speaking of help, without yours, I wouldn't even be able to work as much as

I have.

I mean, babysitting alone is God's son.

It's not babysitting. He's my nephew.

I know.

Junior! Hey, Junior!

Hi!

Want to come play tag?

That sounds like fun.

Not without me.

Hey,

buddy. Want to come play tag?

Do I want to come and play tag? I do want to play tag.

Want to play?

Of course.

All right, let's go. Come on. Hang on. Ready?

Get ready. Get set.

And I'm stuck.

Here we go.

You're too fast for me.

No, you're it.

He is it.

Who's it? Watch it, watch it, watch it.
