- Hey baby.

[alarm goes off]

[heavy breathing]

[loud sound of airplane]

- [Man] Is it your absence
that makes me hate you?

Or the regret that
makes me resent you?

How about the blood that
drips from hearing your name?

My heart is cold.

My mood is blue.

All for one reason.

There's no faith in you.

- [Man] Yo.

Times up.

[loud exhale]

- Listen.

I need all that stuff now.

The cops been bugging
me the past week

about this suspect, man.

[knock on door]

Look--

Just do what you gotta
do to make it happen.

But I need that
warrant yesterday.

All right, man.

What's up, man?

You're not looking too good.

- Well, you know
me and my schedule.

It's work, work and more work.

- You know what I
tell all my employees?

All that work and no play--

- Yeah, yeah.

Make you look grumpy.

- Kinda.

But I was gonna say it
make 'em look like you.

- [laughs] Like me?

That's cute.

So, any news on this guy?

- Actually, nothin'.

As of now, judge hasn't
given us an extension

and it's pretty
much lookin' like

we need it a lot
quicker than we thought.

So...

- You can't be serious.

- I mean it is what it is.

You got to learn.

Stuff takes time.

This would have been a lot
quicker if you saw his face.

- I know, but it was so dark.

- There's still a
possibility, man.

- Possibility?

Wow.

So this guy shoots
and kills a cop,

and it's still a possibility?

- Pretty much.

It's still under investigation.

But, how's my favorite Auntie?

- She's been callin',
but I don't know.

- Dang.

Let the past be the past, man.

You're going to have
to forgive her one day.

- Maybe.

But...I can't.

I can't right now.

- Everybody makes mistakes, man.

- [scoffs] Mistakes.

A mistake is leaving a
toilet seat up by accident.

That's a mistake.

Or me getting mad and
calling her a slut.

But for a crackhead
mother to leave her

five year old son
at a park alone?

That's not no damn mistake.

- All right.

Never mind.

How's the missus?

- All right, I guess.

You know, same ol' same ol'.

- Good.

Give her my regards.

You said you'll come to
the art exhibit, right?

- Art exhibit?

When was this?

- I was just talking to
you about it on the phone.

You got the worst memory, man.

Look, you need to
get it prescribed.

- I already beat you to
the punch on that one.

- You are taking
the pills, right?

- Well, sort of.

- Hm.

You know what, let me
show you something', man.

- All right.

[men talking]

- Hello?

[slams hand on desk] Hey!

I ain't got all day for
you to be daydreaming.

Now if you want to go
sit back in that cell,

I'll be glad to put
your ass back in there.

Save me all this paperwork.

- No sir.

- You got a place to stay?

- Yeah, I got place.

- Family member?

- Nah, my agent said
he'll hold my spot now

when he heard
about my situation.

- Ooh, lucky man.

Here's a list of therapists
you need to choose from.

Hurry up man, I
ain't got all day.

- Let me get that one.

- All right.

You agree to the terms and
conditions on your release?

- Yes, sir.

- All right, now I'm gonna
call them in the morning.

Now do us both a favor,
and stay out of trouble,

because I don't want to
see you back in here again.

All right, make sure you
sign out and get your shit.

- You know, studies have
shown that if you stare

in that ring for too long,
you might go cross-sighted.

- Well, I think it's
worth it considering

all the work I've put into it.

[coughs]

I'm sorry the work
we've put into it.

- Okay, sounds a lot better now.

Why don't you go
ahead and say it?

- Say what?

- Come on, go ahead.

- Okay, you were right.

- Of course I was.

[laughs]

What do you think all these
plaques are on the wall for?

Decorations?

Nah.

Who do you think Cupid comes
to when he has female problems?

It definitely ain't Dr. Phil.

- Well since you
put it that way,

why don't you just write a book?

- You know what?

I might just do that.

Thanks.

[knocking on door]

[Man speaking]

- No it's okay, I
was just leaving.

- All right, I'll see you later.

And next time you
come, why don't you

bring that new hubby
of yours, all right?

- Will do.

- See you later.

- So, no more angry
woman central?

- I guess you could say
I found a cure for that.

- I hope so.

Maybe you can speak
to my wife next.

[laughs]

- How's everything going, John?

- David, it's beautiful.

I just stopped by.

Wanted to drop this
to you in your hand.

- Wow, what's this?

- Dr. David Francis.

My friend, I would like
to personally congratulate

you on being a finalist
of the honorary award.

- Wow!

Like, I don't even
know what to say.

- You don't have
to say anything.

You earned it.

- You don't know how
much this means to me.

This is amazing.

- Well of course I do.

There aren't too
many people to get

to that level within 20 years.

So, maybe within
the next few weeks,

you can try to bring this
beautiful hardware home.

- Hey, you know I'm gonna
bring this hardware home.

- Oh, I hope so.

But just remember,
there were some

great doctors that
were also nominated,

so you gotta keep going
with what you're doing.

- I will, you ain't
gotta worry about that.

- You should have it in a
special place for it though.

- You know what, now
that you mention it,

I might need a new office.

[laughs]

- If this continues, we
may be looking into it.

- All right.

- All right?

- Yeah.

- Well we gotta
get back to work.

- All right, talk to you later.

- Later.

Oh, which reminds me,
since you are going

to require to have a subject,
how about if you start

with the young man
that's coming up next.

- Who's that?

- Well you're about to find out.

I don't have--

I didn't have a chance
to actually go ahead

and look at his
file and detail--

- Okay.

- But, I got this phone call

from Terrence, his
parole officer.

- All right.

- Terrence has informed
me of his situation.

Well, I don't want to
spill the beans yet,

but he's no walk in the park.

- Wow.

- But if you are looking
to make an impact,

on the running for the
award, this is the one.

- All right then.

Bring it on.

- You sure?

- John, you should
know me by now.

So, Mr. Fredrickson--

- Kenny.

You can just call me Kenny.

- Okay, Kenny.

You seem real familiar to me.

Have I met you somewhere before?

- Yeah, the police
station maybe.

[snaps fingers]

- I think that's it.

It's been bothering my
mind since you've been

in the office, but I think
that's where I saw you.

- Yeah, it was.

- So I understand
you've been involved

in a domestic altercation.

Care to explain what happened?

- Nothin' happened.

You into painting?

- Well, not really.

I kind of liked that
one, and my wife thought

it'd be perfect for the office,

so I kind of just bought it.

- That's what's up.

- So tell me something
about yourself.

Where you're from,
what you like to do.

- I come from a bottomless
pit, and I'm really

only here because I
was ordered to be.

- Well I understand that,
but there's gotta be more.

Do you have any
interests or hobbies?

That painting that
you're looking at

is from a 17th century artist.

- Let me guess, Castillo?

- Yeah, how'd you know?

- Let's just say I read
a book or two about him.

- That's great,
maybe you can show

me a thing or two
about paintings.

You seem real
knowledgeable about that.

Look Kenny, I know you
just got incarcerated.

It must be tough on you.

But I feel like the best
way for you to relieve

all that stress that's on
you mind is to talk about it.

- I don't have anything to say.

- And it doesn't have
to be about anything

that's got you here.

It can be about anything
at all that's on your mind.

- Look, Doctor--

- Dr. Francis, please.

- Yeah, whatever.

This whole after
school counseling thing

just ain't really
gonna work for me.

I need you to stop treating me
like I'm mentally challenged.

There ain't nothing
wrong with me.

I mean, what's next?

Was I abandoned as a child?

Was I abused?

- Look Kenny, I apologize.

By all means, I wasn't trying

to make you feel
inferior or belittle you.

All I wanted to do honestly
was just understand you,

and hopefully help you.

- Help me?

- Yes.

- Are you serious?

You just met me.

You don't know me.

I need you to stop
trying to be my friend.

And like I said, this
elementary approach

you got going on, it's not
going to influence my life.

It'll probably work on one
of your lonely patients

or the arguing
couple, but not me.

And quite frankly, I feel like

I've been in your
office way too long.

This meeting's over.

[phone rings]

- [Woman] Hey David,
is everything okay?

- I'm fine.

- Um, do you need
me to do anything?

- Don't worry about it.

He's just a little upset.

He'll be back soon.

- Oh, okay.

If you say so.

- All right, I'll
talk to you later.

- All right.

[sensual music playing]

- Hi.

Hey, it's Jasmine.

Can I get a taxi, please?

Yeah.

Thank you.

- Hey Dawg, how's it going?

- Hey, just getting off
of work, but doing good.

- Oh I know.

That's right man, that's right.

- So what's going
on here tonight?

I see a lot of flashing lights.

- Well, there's been
a lot of reported

burglaries in the area.

And not to mention what happened
with that cop last week--

- Heard about that.

- So there's gonna
be extra security

around here for a few weeks.

- So much for that
association fee, huh?

[laughs]

- Well, I'm sure things are
gonna get back to normal.

We've got guards
and extra cameras,

so the residents
should feel safer.

So don't be alarmed if you see

any police vehicles
patrolling the area.

- Thank you so much
for your help, Drake.

- Hey, no problem.

- So it seems Sharon
didn't even process

the pictures like
she was supposed to,

which I knew was gonna happen.

I guess her misfortune
is my gain, huh?

David.

Dave.

- What?

- What?

Did you hear what I said?

- Yes.

Take care--

I got you, I got you.

Don't worry.

- Whatever.

[sound of ringtone]

Hello.

Hey you.

No, you know what actually.

I'll let you know
tomorrow in the email.

Okay, great.

All right.

Bye.

- Who was that?

- Nobody.

- Nobody?

Who's nobody?

- It's no one.

It's Cory.

Why are you even asking?

Don't even go there.

You know I'm not like
that, unlike some people.

- Some people?

What's that supposed to mean?

Trying to say something?

- Yeah.

Giving your trifling
record, I don't think

you should have the audacity
to ask me who I'm talking to.

- Okay.

And I apologized about
this so many times,

I don't know why you
keep on bringing it up.

Like, what else do
you want me to say?

I've already apologized.

So can we please move past that?

You're the only one I want.

- Hey, I'm cool.

So my parents have
decided to stroll

into town for a few weeks.

I love them and all,
but I'm thinking

about putting them into a hotel.

What do you think?

Dave.

David.

- No.

No thanks.

- Ugh, here you go again.

Are you even listening?

- Yeah, you're talking
about the same thing.

I hear everything you're saying.

What?

What?

- David.

I was saying my parents
are coming into town.

- Okay, when?

- When?

I told you earlier.

Remember?

Oh.

You know you really
do have bad memory.

You should get that checked.

- Yeah, I've been told.

- They said they wanna know

the man who's been
taking all my time.

- Hm, you mean interrogate me.

- Interrogate?

- Yeah.

- No, not at all.

- So you mean to tell
me that none of your

past boyfriends have
been interrogated

and pressured by old man Watson?

[laughs]

Yeah.

Who you think you're fooling?

- Oh, that also reminds me.

My sister's gonna
be staying with us

for a few days while here
apartment's getting renovated.

- Okay, how's she been doing?

- Hell if I know.

- What do you mean?

How do you live in the
same city as your sister,

but you guys don't even talk.

Much less see each other.

- Well, we just don't.

We're complete opposites.

- Don't you think you're too old

to be holding onto grudges?

I think one of you guys
need to work on that.

Speaking of work, I
got some stuff to do.

- You know what Dave?

I wish I was your
laptop, because I swear,

for the last six
months, you've been

in love with her than me.

David.

- What?

Look, I don't have
time to play with your

little games or whatever
you're trying to do.

I got some stuff to finish.

Like, go to sleep.

[sighs]

[angry mumbling]

[exhales]

- [Kenny] It's a nice day out.

Your secretary told me
to meet you out here.

- Hey Kenny.

How everything going with you?

- Everything's all right.

I just came to apologize.

- Look.

There's no need to do that.

Once you've been in this
profession long enough,

you understand that
everybody has a story.

No matter how odd it may
seem, It's still a story.

And you've been incarcerated
for quite some time.

I know it must've been
difficult for you.

So I understand.

- Yeah.

- So how was your weekend?

- My weekend was all right.

I see you went to Berkeley, huh?

- Yes I did.

Proud alum.

You familiar with California?

- Nah.

I actually never been outside
of the state besides college.

- Oh yeah?

Which school?

- Does it matter?

- Is that where you learned
how to paint and write?

- Yeah.

- So.

Tell me something
about yourself.

Where you're from--

- Why we gotta go
through all that, man?

I told you, my life
is not a fairy tale.

- Well, I like putting
the small pieces together.

You know, like I said before,
everybody has a story.

And the way our last
meeting went, you know.

it really didn't go so good.

I'm just trying to figure out
more about you, that's all.

- So what's your story?

- This meeting is
not about me Kenny.

It's about you.

- Look, man.

I told you about
them mind games.

It's not gonna work with me.

Despite what you may
have heard from somebody

or read on a piece of paper,
you don't know who I am.

- Okay, so why
don't you tell me.

Who is Kenny Fredrickson?

What do you expect
from these sessions?

Just to stand there
and not say anything?

It doesn't work like that.

You talk, I listen.

Why don't you try it sometime?

It might help you.

- I'm sure you'll
figure something out.

- You see all this
tension right here?

There's no need for it.

What we have to do is just
break the ice, honestly.

- Break the ice?

For what?

Look, as far as my life goes,

it's pretty much
self-explanatory.

Trouble, trouble
and more trouble.

You name it, I was
involved in it.

Whether I was guilty or not.

I'm just here 'cause the man

with the wooden
hammer told me to be.

So if you don't mind,
we could scurry through

these little
heart-to-heart sessions

so I could get back
to my former work.

- And, what would that be?

- My art.

So you want to go
back into paintings?

- Yeah, that too.

But mostly poetry.

Before I went to jail, I
started writing a book.

Things kind of got derailed,

so I'd like to get back to that.

You know, I've got
a deadline to meet.

- Okay, so this
book you're writing.

What's the title of this book?

- I mean, if you
really want to know,

I call it "Immaculate
Inspirations".

- Oh, sounds impressive.

- It's all right.

- No I'm , I'm serious.

It really does.

So, let me guess, you and
the missus really didn't

see eye to eye when
it came to your

artistic aspirations, did you?

- This is how I see it.

If a woman wants to be
with some lame pushover

dude just because his
pockets are deeper, so be it.

But as far as I go, I
got better things to do

than be here with some
Dr. Suess lookalike.

This while sentimental
crap is just...not for me.

So if you're trying to have
these sentimental sessions,

I suggest you call like
a Dr. Phil or something.

I'm not the one for that.

Once again, this meeting's over.

- I about had enough of
your little attitude, Kenny.

And again, this meeting's not
over until I say it's over.

You and I both know
what you have to do

to fulfill the end
of your bargain.

Or you'll be going
right back to prison.

And I know you don't want

to be writing poetry
in a cell all day.

It's not your thing.

So quit the B.S.

And why don't you work with me,

so we can get somewhere.

Or you can go back to prison

if that's what you really want.

So you can stop with this B.S.,

all these games
that you're playing.

Unless you want to
go back to prison

and write your little
poetry over there.

- Hey, it don't matter to me.

- And it doesn't
matter to me either,

'cause I have patients who
are willing to be helped.

- Well forget you then.

- It's fine with me, Kenny.

I'll call your parole
officer and ask for

a transfer of papers so you
could have a new therapist.

[exhales]

[knocking]

Come in.

- Hey.

I'm about to leave.

- All right, take care.

- I emailed Terrence
about Kenny.

- Thanks.

- I'm assuming you
don't want these.

- What are those?

- These are Kenny's files.

They came in today.

- I don't even know if
I want to read those.

Why don't you read
it for me, please.

- Kenny Lamar Fredrickson.

Born November 22nd, 1981.

He was found at the age of four

at a gas station
abandoned by his mother.

Father left seven months prior.

- Does it say anything about any

other relatives
or family members?

- No, it says here
that he spent 11 years

hopping from foster
home to foster home.

Earned a scholarship to NYU.

- Who, Kenny?

- That's what it says here.

Honor roll student.

Got in trouble with the law.

Armed robbery,
assault, trespassing.

Expelled at 19.

He was in and out of jail.

He published two New York
bestseller books of poetry.

- Wow, who would have thought?

- You can say that again.

- All right.

Why don't you leave
those files right here?

I'll get to them later.

Thanks.

[sound of vehicles]

- Kenny.

It's me, David.

- What do you want?

- I was hoping that...we
could talk for a little bit.

- All right.

- Thanks.

- Can I get you a
drink or something?

- No thanks, I'm okay.

- All right.

So what brings you around
these parts of town, Doc?

I know you ain't too familiar
with this neck of the woods.

- As a matter of fact, I played

basketball not
too far from here.

- You?

- Yeah, me.

I got a mean crossover.

Not to toot my own horn.

- Hey I understand, I was
good back in my day too.

But, I know you didn't come here

just to go down memory
lane though, right?

- It's not.

I can't say I know exactly
what you're going through,

but I do know what it feels
like to be tossed to the curb.

Especially by your own family.

- Really?

- Yeah.

My mom left me when I was five.

Shortly after, I was
assigned to a foster home.

Hated it.

Wasn't until I got my
acceptance letter to Berkeley.

I just took it, and
never looked back.

- Well NYU was the best thing
that ever happened to me,

until I got kicked out.

Then everything pretty much
went downhill from there.

I mean you could probably tell
from my extensive rap sheet.

- So what happened that
night you got arrested?

- Which time?

- The last time.

- Well I violated my probation.

They gave me aggravated assault.

She was supposed to be at
her bachelorette party.

I guess she wasn't expecting
me to come home early.

Came home.

Saw her commit adultery
right in front of my face.

The next thing I know,
I was in the back

of a police car with
silver handcuffs on.

- Must have been a horrible
situation to handle.

So what happened to her?

- I have no idea.

Last time I heard, she
moved to New Jersey.

- That's how it is.

Sometimes you can't
trust some people.

It's not always how
it appears to be.

- Yeah, who you kidding?

- But that's life though.

It's gonna toss you
curveballs and knuckleballs.

It's bound to happen.

You should never
let it affect you.

- What is this?

Some type of intervention
or something?

- No, not at all.

- I'm sure anybody with a
little bit of common sense

would have done the
same thing I did.

Even you.

- You're right.

I'm not saying it wouldn't
be a hard pill to swallow.

'Cause it would be.

You know, most
fights happen because

of a lack of communication?

Somewhere along the line,
someone in the realtionship

stopped listening, and
then assumptions are made.

And after that, all
hell breaks loose.

And all of that could
have been resolved

by just communicating
and talking about it.

- Talk?

What is there to talk about?

- What I'm trying to say--

- What are you saying?

Don't tell me you condone
what happened that night?

- I didn't say that.

- Well it sounds to
me like you're saying

a man devouring my woman
is completely acceptable.

- I didn't mean to
say that, Kenny.

- Well you need to choose
your words carefully, please.

I should have just finished
him off that night.

- You don't really mean that.

- Maybe I do.

- Well, in relationships,
it's all about trust.

You gotta learn to trust.

And I feel like, this
past relationship,

you got too much
stuck inside of you.

It's gonna affect you
from future relationships.

You can't let that happen.

It's gonna have
this base of same

consequences of that first one.

And you don't wanna do that,
because it'll only hinder you.

- Well I must be in
denial or something.

- Well, you can use it as an
experience and learn from it.

Gotta handle your business,
or someone else will.

- Yeah, you got that right.

But that sounds like it
kind of hit close to home.

- No, not really.

- All right, well,
until you go through

what I went through,
then you'll be qualified

to tell me what's
right and what's wrong.

But until then, I don't
think walking away

like a punk seems
like a smart idea.

In my opinion.

- Well thinking like that
would only make things worse.

- Yeah, whatever.

- Trust is hard to earn.

When that trust is
violated, you begin

to walk with a little
bit of resentment.

You begin startin'
conversations,
second-guessing people,

thinking if their motives
are true or honest.

In the back of your mind, your
conscience is telling you,

"Don't listen to him,
don't trust her."

Nobody wants to
live life like that.

- If you say so.

- I'm serious.

Basically if you continue
to do that, you're going

to distance yourself
from people you do trust.

And that's only gonna
end up making you lonely.

Now you can't tell
me that you haven't

done that to people you know.

- Sometimes, I guess.

- Exactly.

And that's why I'm
trying to help you.

Kenny, that's not the only
reason why I came today too.

I'm reconsidering
taking back that letter

I gave to your parole
officer after that outburst.

I feel like with a
couple of sessions

I could help you stop
looking over your shoulders,

and be open again.

But you have to
learn how to trust.

And hopefully that
can start with me.

Hey baby.

- Don't "hey baby" me.

- What is it now?

- David, it's 12:30 at night.

Where the hell have you been?

- Please.

Don't start this shit.

I had work.

You know that.

- Work?

- Yeah, work.

- Oh I know how much work
you've been putting in.

And I get it, but
you should know

what time to bring your
behind home by now.

- Don't raise your
voice in my house.

Just comin' home but--

- 12:30?

You mean to tell me you're
meetin' up with clients

three times a week at this hour?

Who the hell is she?

- She?

There is no she.

- You must think
I'm stupid, huh?

Whoever she is, she better
be getting all of you,

because I swear it ain't me.

When's the last time
we spent time together?

- Time?

You're complaining
about time now?

You weren't
complaining about time

when you were swiping
those cards away.

- Excuse me?

- Excuse you.

Yeah, the cards I'm still
paying the balance for.

Where you going?

- You're not gonna
talk to me like that.

You worried about cards, huh?

Payments?

I don't give a crap
about any of this stuff.

You can have it all.

- Calm down.

What's wrong with you?

What, is this what you want?

Do you want to check my phone?

Go ahead.

Go.

Check my inbox.

Check my Facebook messages.

- I don't need this.

- Go!

Instagram's right there.

It's gonna reassure you
to calm the hell down.

What's wrong with you?

- Don't you dare
tell me to calm down.

I've been calm.

And patient with you
for the past few months.

- You know what?

It's not even that serious.

It's really not.

- Let's play a
little game, then.

How about we roleplay?

This time you be Karen,
and I'll be David.

So you wait up late at night,
waiting for me to come home.

No missed calls.

No messages.

All because your little
mistress is going down on you.

The same one who was
at our Christmas party,

the same one who's been
walking around here

asking for special
treatment, and the same

one who's been calling
here and hanging up!

And here I am
looking like a fool.

My friends ridicule me.

Why am I in a relationship?

Why am I loyal?

Or maybe I should
just leave, huh?

Is that what you want?

[David laughs]

Get out of my face.

- Why don't you go
ahead and write it down.

Take a picture.

'Cause I don't give a fuck.

[eery music]

- Don't move.

- Sorry for the
inconvenience Mr--

- Francis.

- Mr. Francis.

Uh, just a quick
update on the case.

We were able to apprehend
another suspect.

He's currently in our custody.

We're gonna be questioning him.

We still have two suspects
on the loose, though.

We know about their whereabouts.

We have our men on it.

We're gonna contact
you if any new

developments do occur.

- Thank you, officer.

- Yeah, I know it's unfortunate.

- It's okay.

- Just a note of precaution.

While you're inside
the premises,

make sure that all
the doors are locked.

Do not, I mean do not,
enter the premises,

if you know that you locked
the door and it's open.

Contact the authorities, myself,

and we'll handle the situation.

I can't tell you just
how many times people

try to play superman or
they try to be the hero.

Everybody loses
when that happens.

So, please don't do that.

- I won't.

- All right.

You got any further
questions for me?

- Honestly, I'm just
trying to get back to bed.

So, no sir.

- I understand.

Well you have my
contact information.

Notify me if
anything new occurs.

- All right, thank you.

- All right, thank you.

- You're up early.

- I know, 'cause I
got something to say.

I'm sorry.

I know I've been
messing up a lot lately,

and I know some
romantic speech isn't

gonna fix what's
wrong between us.

It's just that so much has
been going on with work.

So much is riding on
this year with the award.

Sometimes I forget what's
most important to me.

It's you.

So, I got you some flowers.

Hopefully that can put a
smile back on your face.

- Mm.

- So better than telling
you, how about I show you?

I got something really
special for us tonight.

- Well, you have a lot of
work to do tonight then.

- Okay, I'm fine with that.

- Okay.

- So, I'll see you tonight.

- Call me.

- I will.

I'm gonna get ready for work.

I'll talk to you later.

Love you.

- Yeah, I love you too.

- The goal is to
create a definitive

piece that cannot be surpassed.

- That's deep.

Is that a line from
one of your poems?

- Nah, I saw it on the
back of a post card.

But I mean, that's how I
approach my work every day.

I'd assume you do the same.

- I guess you could say that.

- So, when you gonna let me see

one of your masterpieces
you've been working on?

I'm serious.

Lots of people have been talking

about how great of
an artist you are.

You know, I just want
to see for myself.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- You know what?

It's not the final copy,

but everything's
pretty much in there.

So consider yourself lucky.

- Why thank you.

"My inspirations and
visions come from

"my experiences and
colors that pass me by.

"They are precious, they're
aesthetic, they're immaculate."

It's beautiful the way
you word your poems.

- Thanks.

I like to think that my
words and my brushstrokes

are like my gift
back to mankind.

- So how's everything
going with the investors?

- Everything's going good.

The deal should be done
in a couple of weeks.

Just gotta send them some new

material by the end of the week.

That is, if I could find
something to write about.

- Let me guess, writer's block?

- You don't even know the half.

- What do you do
to get over that?

- Nothing special.

Head to the bar.

Grab a drink or two.

Me and Jack Daniels got a
special kind of relationship.

- I understand, but don't
you feel like you can

do something more creative
other than getting drunk?

You know, something
to inspire you?

- Whenever you find out
what that is, let me know.

- So what's your
plans for tonight?

- Just gonna be
home watching tv.

- So you mean to
tell me, you know

no one who's doing anything?

Going to the club,
nothing like that?

- Nope.

- So what have you been
doing for the past few weeks?

- At home, staring
at the ceiling,

waiting for some words
to pop out of the cracks.

- Maybe what you need to
do is clear your mind.

Why don't you go out tonight?

You know, I don't think
Ernest Hemingway or Picasso

were waiting and staring
at the wall of their homes

trying to get something
magical to inspire 'em.

Try it.

I don't mean go out, get wasted.

Nothing like that.

But try having some
kind of life experience.

Go to the movies, the museum.

You can even go to a lounge.

You never know who you might
run into who can inspire you.

And besides, you and I both
know that book right there,

that you're trying to write,
it's not gonna be your

best work unless you
have some experiences.

Something to write about.

Think about it.

Who wants to read
a book of poetry

by somebody who
stays home all day?

- You're right.

- I know I am.

I'm a doctor.

I don't usually do
this, but I want you

to have my personal
cell phone number.

And I want you to
text me, call me,

whenever you feel like it.

Whenever you want to
talk about anything.

All right?

- You serious?

- Yeah I'm serious.

It's getting kind of
late and I got a bunch

of stuff to handle
at the office so...

I'll hear from you soon right?

- Hey Dave.

John has been looking for you.

- Is everything okay?

- I'm not sure.

He didn't say.

- All right.

I'll find him.

Hey John.

- David.

- Heard you've been
looking for me.

- How's Kenny doing?

- Kenny?

He's been all right.

Just a work in progress.

- I know he's a character.

Forasmuch as I know
you love a challenge,

don't forget about
your other patients.

They will not be
waiting for you.

- Then that's my fault.

Just been really
caught up with Kenny,

but I'm gonna go handle that.

It's not gonna happen anymore.

- All right.

Well, do your thing.

- All right, I'll
talk to you later.

- Hey Dave, Karen called.

- What'd she say?

- It just said, "Don't
forget about tonight."

- All right, thanks.

- Hey, I'm gone for tonight.

- All right, I'll
see you tomorrow.

- David, it's a Friday night.

- Must have lost track of time.

- All right, well
don't work too hard.

- I'll try not to.

Karen, I'm home.

Karen.

Babe.

You in the kitchen?

Ugh.

Karen.

[phone dialing]

- [Woman] I'm sorry
but the person you are

trying to reach
has a voicemail box

that has not been set up--

- Long time no see.

- I was just in last week.

- When exactly?

- Kind of empty here
tonight, don't you think?

- Mm hmm.

It's called 10 o'clock.

Okay.

You should go see if
she wants company.

- I will in a little bit.

- In a little bit?

Ball's in your court.

Go play.

- Do you mind if I sit here?

How you doing?

- I'm, I'm fine.

- I'm Kenny.

- That's nice.

- You upset or something?

- I'm okay.

- Okay, so you come here a lot?

- No.

- Okay, well I bought you a dr--

- Look--

- Kenny.

- Kenny.

- I'm really not in the
mood to make a new friend

tonight so I prefer
if we don't talk.

- All right.

All right.

- Kenny Fredrickson?

- Yeah.

- As in the "Immaculate
Inspiration" Kenny Fredrickson?

- That'd be me.

- What a small world.

I read your last book.

Impressive.

- Thanks.

It's nice to know
somebody appreciates it.

- Well, I am a fan of the arts.

- So now you want to talk?

- I'm sorry, I've just been
going through a lot lately.

- It's just funny to me,
because two seconds ago

you wouldn't have given
me the time of day.

Now you know who I am,
so you want to converse.

- I apologize.

- I mean, I bought you a drink.

- Thanks.

- By the looks of it, either
you got laid off from work,

or you're having man problems.

- Close enough.

What are you a
psychic or something?

- Maybe.

Let's just say I know that
look a little too well.

- Yikes.

So when does your
next book come out?

- Actually that's why I'm here.

- At the bar?

- Yeah, me and liquor
have this bond.

When I write, I like
to escape from reality.

- And how's that
been going so far?

- Nothing so far, but I mean
I got you talking, right?

- Typical.

Just like most men.

Come to the bar looking for a
female to climb into bed with.

- I mean, yeah.

Most men are like
that, but not me.

I kind of approach females
the same way they approach us.

- Really, how's that?

- With extreme caution.

- Sad but true.

But most men would say that.

- Yeah, most men would.

But I actually get
paid for my words,

so that's something
I take very serious.

- Do you only write poetry?

- No, I paint as well.

- Really?

I haven't seen any.

So um, when can I see
some of your work?

[sensual song playing]

- Sweetie!

Hello?

[knocking]

- Sup cousin.

- What you doing here?

- So that's how
you greet family?

[sighs]

You gonna let me in?

- I'm kind of busy right now.

- I see.

- So what's up, man?

- Just was in the neighborhood.

I wanted to come
by, see what's up.

You know, I heard you was out.

- Yeah, I'm doing all right.

I'm gonna keep it that way too.

- You look like you
doin' better than,

better than just
all right though.

Look, how's everything
with the book and all?

- It's movin'.

- You still mad at me?

Look, I don't...I
don't blame you.

I just wanted to come
by and let you know

that I'm doing better and
I'm working on my situation.

- No, really.

Look man, I just got out.

I am not looking to go back.

- Good 'cause, I don't
got no money here.

I don't got nothing
valuable for you to steal--

- I know, believe me.

I know we didn't leave
on the best of terms,

but I just wanted
to come by and...

just, I just wanted to
see how you were doing.

- Well like I said, I'm fine.

- Okay.

Well you wanna catch
up this weekend?

Talk about stuff?

- I'll think about it, man.

- You do that.

- [David] I know that smile.

It's either you're
really happy to see me,

or you must have
got into something.

Or someone.

Kenny.

You can stop smiling
at me right now.

I'm married.

Damn.

It must have been
that good, huh?

- It was.

- So, where did you guys meet?

- I mean, after going
through like 44 paper balls

and having 63 hours
of writer's block,

I finally took your advice
and decided to go out.

I ran into her at the bar.

- So what's her name?

- Her name is Sweetie.

- Her real name is Sweetie?

- Yeah.

- Why Sweetie?

- Why you think?

- Never mind.

- I mean, for as long
as we've been involved,

the name pretty much fits her.

- Clever.

Wait.

You said you guys have
been involved now?

- Yeah, kinda.

- Well, please elaborate.

- I mean I like
her, but I still got

my reservations about her.

- Well, that comes with time.

Everyone isn't Benedict Arnold.

But what you do
have to understand,

is that you gotta be open.

I'm not saying forget
about past relationships,

but what you do have
to do is look past it.

- So what do you suggest then?

- I'm just saying,
be honest with her.

It's okay to tell her that
you're seeing a therapist.

Maybe after that,
you know, she might

have the same reservations
that you have towards her.

- I don't know about that.

- I'm serious.

By you telling her that,
she might feel more open.

- I'm already open with her.

- How?

By opening the front door?

- Yeah.

I mean she's lucky
she even got to see

the inside of my
house, honestly.

- Kenny, no.

Anybody can do that.

Anybody can have
sex with anyone.

But once you open that
door, and let somebody

in internally, that's how
you know something serious.

Especially when
you can trust 'em

with your deepest
and darkest secrets.

- Yeah, I guess so.

- Hey, I was right about
you going out, wasn't I?

- You were right.

- I know.

Communication is key.

- I got you.

So what's your
plans for tonight?

- Actually, I'm heading out
to this exhibit tonight.

A few investors wanna see
a couple of my pieces.

- Okay, where at?

- At the Ronald Weir Center
on Wilkerson and 3rd Ave.

- Sounds good.

I like the moves you're making.

- I'm trying to.

Hey, you should
come down and check

it out if you got the time.

- Well, I kind of got a lot
of work here to do tonight,

but if I finish on time
I'll see what I can do.

- All right, cool.

I hope I can see you there.

- Me too.

- Thanks.

- Hey, good luck.

- Thank you.

- Do you consider
yourself happy?

- Define happy.

- You know, just happy.'

- I mean, I got my pen
and my pad, my paintbrush,

my canvas and my contraband.

So that's pretty much
everything I need.

- Well, what about family?

- Nonexistent.

- No siblings or cousins?

- I got a cousin.

- Well that's family.

- Nah, not really.

- What do you mean by that?

- Nothin'.

- Nothin' like you
don't know him nothing

or nothing like--

- He's just really not something

worth talking about right now.

- Okay.

Never mind, then.

- I got a exhibition
going on later.

You should come by.

- I already made
plans for tonight.

But I will catch a raincheck.

[kissing sounds]

I'll make it up to you though.

- Somebody's calling your phone.

- Oh, I'm busy right now.

- What if it's an emergency?

- If it was an emergency,
they'll be calling 911.

- I still think
you should answer.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Plus, I gotta go get
ready for this exhibition.

So I think it'll be
good if you leave now.

- Okay, if you say so.

- Oh, my bad.

Hey, beautiful.

- May I help you?

- Yeah, I was looking for Ken.

Is he here?

- What's up?

- 'Sup man, I need
to talk to you.

About um...about something.

- I'll see you later.

- What you want now, Nate?

- Damn.

Can't I come to see you?

- I thought you
already did that.

- Yeah, but we are family.

We stick together.

- Family?

- Yeah, la familia.

Look man, I can't do what
happened in the past.

It's in the past.

I'm a different person now.

I'm not the same person.

- I'll be the judge of that.

You need something, don't you?

- No--

Yeah.

I need something.

- Well look, like I told
you before, I'm broke man.

I don't got much.

- Look, I understand that man.

It's just, I'm going through
some tough times right now,

and I need a place
to stay right now.

Until I get my own place.

- You know I got a
one bedroom apartment,

and my art don't like sharing
the space with nobody.

- Don't worry about that,
I'll sleep on the floor.

Won't even know I'm here.

Won't even know.

Look I got 50 bucks, man.

Put that on the bills.

You know like , 'cause I
got no place else to go.

- All right, you got one week.

- Aight, thanks cuz.

- And don't touch nothin'
when you're here either.

- I promise.

- All right.

Well, I gotta go get
ready for this exhibition.

- All right, cool.

- Don't touch nothin', I said.

Mr. Peterson, how are you?

- Kenny, good to see you.

I'd like to introduce
you to two guys.

Mr. Stiller.
- How you doin'?

Mr. Khalis.

These are your two newest fans.

- Mr. Fredrickson,
quite the revolutionist.

Very impressive.

- I definitely agree.

- Thank you guys.

I really appreciate that.

- I have to ask, where do
you get your inspiration?

- Honestly, if I knew
the answer to that,

that would probably
end all the creative

struggles I go through
on a daily basis.

It just comes when it comes.

I enjoy that speech
on inner truth.

You know, a lot of people
rarely come to grips with that.

- Yeah, I mean even at this age,

that's something that I
still have struggles with.

Let's just say that I'm
getting help for that still.

Excuse me one second
gentlemen, I'll be--

Surprised you could make it.

- Well I decided it was
important to support

those who need it the most.

- Thank you.

- Don't mention it.

So, this is the exhibit, huh?

- Yeah, this is my sanctuary.

- How's everything going
with the investors?

- Pretty good, I mean.

Should be gettin' a
big check real soon.

- That's good to hear.

Seems like all the
hard work you've

put in has been paying off.

- It better.

Rent is due soon

[laughs]

- So you gonna tell me
where the drinks are at?

- Yeah, right that way.

Just make that right.

- All right, I'll
talk to you later.

[women talking]

- Hey, beautiful.

- Hi.

- You enjoying yourself?

- Yeah, it's okay.

- What do you think
about the work?

- Um, it's nice.

- I'm glad you came.

- Out of all the
beautiful women here,

I'm sure I'm just another pawn.

- I beg to differ.

- Hey Ken.

- What's up?

- So I see you met
my beautiful fiance.

- Who?

- Kenny, this is
my fiance, Karen.

Karen, this is one of
my patients, Kenny.

- Nice to meet you.

- I'm sorry, I could have
sworn you were somebody else.

- Does she remind
you of somebody?

- Thought so.

- I find that hard to believe.

This right here
is one of a kind.

- Yeah I mean, you
know what they say.

It's a small world.

- They do.

I have a phone call coming in.

I'll be right back.

Hey, how's it going?

I know, I know.

A lot's been thrown
at me lately.

Especially this new patient
I've been working on.

Kenny Fredrickson.

I don't think you know him.

Yeah, honestly he's been
one of the most difficult

cases I've had to work
with for a long time now.

And I'm supposed to
be writing a paper

to the committee for the award.

And I've been drawing blanks.

Nothing comes to mind.

I know.

If I knew what to write,
I'd be done by now.

I hear you.

Hey, but listen.

I'm about to get
back to this party.

I'm downtown at an art
exhibit with Karen.

So I'll call you
back, all right?

Talk to you soon.

Hey babe.

Kenny's been making a lot of
progress, don't you think?

It's funny to think about it.

Two weeks ago, if you
try to get him to say

three words about himself,
he couldn't even do that.

And now, he just seems
more open than usual.

I think it has
something to do with

this new girl that he met,
he's been telling me about.

She's really got
an impact on him.

It's crazy.

Babe, are you okay there?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- You're not still
mad at me, right?

- No, I'm good.

- Who's that?

- Um, no one.

- Hey.

So you never told
me about your day.

- You know, same old stuff.

- What about you?

How was yours?

- It was um, interesting.

You?

- Mine was spontaneous.

- Spontaneous.

That's interesting.

- Yeah it would have
been nice of you

to show me some
love at my event.

- Yeah.

Look Ken, I'm sorry but--

- Look, don't even do that.

You don't gotta waste
your time or mine.

If you got more
important people you need

to spend time with, then
maybe you should be with them.

- Look, it's not even like that.

I don't care about him.

I want to be with you.

- You sure about that?

'Cause look around.

Ain't no money over here.

- I don't care about that.

You actually care about
what's on my mind,

rather than what's
underneath my clothes.

I'd rather spend my time with
someone who appreciates it.

- So what about him?

- That's just something
I'll have to take care of.

- Look, I don't have
no time for the drama.

I done had my fair
share already.

I'm not trying to go
through that again.

- It's not gonna be like that.

Believe me.

[sighs]

- So what you been
doing all day?

- Just running
errands, you know?

- What was it that you
said you was gonna tell me?

- [Man] Okay, it took me a
long time to get down here,

but I couldn't take sleepin' in

that bathtub any longer.

- Told you.

- Yeah, all jokes aside though,

she's a big
influence on my life.

- Aww.

[kissing sound]

- You know Doc, I
got a couple friends

that could use your help.

- Doc?

- Yes?

How can I help you guys?

- Are you okay?

I mean if you want to talk about
your problems, we all ears.

- I'm perfectly fine,

but I thought I was
the therapist here.

- We did too.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

- Oh.

No that's okay, we
were leaving anyway.

- All right.

Thanks for coming
in today, guys.

I'll see you in a week.

Hey John, how's it going?

- I should be asking
you the same question.

- Well, I'm fine.

- Really?

This is a sample of the
complaints of the customers

we gets saying that
you don't give them

the time of day for the
money they're paying for.

- John, what are
you talking about?

- If there is something
going on at home

that I don't know about,
I suggest you get to it.

- And what makes
you think there's

problems going on at home?

- So you thought you were

the only certified
doctor in the building.

That's really the case.

- John.

Whatever complaints or issues
my patients are having,

that'll be resolved by
the end of this week.

So there's no need
to go on any further.

- Well, I hope so.

Another thing.

How's this Fredrickson
file going?

- The Fredrickson
case is going good.

Everything's running
up to schedule.

- You do have other
clients, you know?

- I know that.

- And another thing, David.

You are this close
from getting the award,

so don't blow it.

- I understand.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

- Did you forget about that too?

- John, when I say I
understand, I understand.

- Oh, okay.

So get to it.

ASAP.

- Okay, sir.

[knocking no door]

- Come in.

- Your four o'clock is here.

Kenny.

- Send him in.

- Don't forget.

- Everything good with you?

- I'm fine.

Let's go get some fresh air.

Is this where you used to write?

- Not at first.

I actually slept right
here on this bench.

- Wow.

- Yeah.

I mean, I didn't have
a place to stay but...

even after I got my first place

I still came back out here.

Me and this place go way back.

Those four months were
something special.

This is actually where
I got the inspiration

to write my first book.

And then everything
took off from there.

- What happened after that?

- You know how they say,
the money started coming in

and I had friends
from out of nowhere.

I even had cousins calling me

that I never heard from before.

- Yeah, money will
do that to you.

- Yeah, you can say that again.

- So you told me
you had a cousin.

Y'all were real close.

Whatever happened
between both of y'all?

- I mean, we're not
really that close anymore.

He got a bit of a
gambling problem.

- What exactly?

- He took all my savings
and blew it on a horse.

- Wow.

That's pretty messed up
for a family member to do.

- Yeah, that's not
even the worst part.

- It got way worse.

He just couldn't stop
stealing from me.

He would go in my
house, take my stuff,

and sell it to the pawn shop.

I mean, it got so bad that I
got dropped from my book deal.

I was callin' people
and I was getting

sent straight to voicemail.

[sighs]

- So when's the last
time you heard from him?

- When I got out.

He told me he'd changed, but
I wasn't trying to hear that.

- I know what you mean.

I really do.

Thing about it is that,
is that people do change.

And you gotta understand that.

- That ain't true.

I mean, not in this
situation at least.

I know him.

And he's just the type
of person that he's just

gonna find a way to adapt and
get money a different way.

I mean, there was
one point where

I was doing that stuff with him.

We would break into
people's houses,

take everything in sight.

- Wow.

So did you end up finding
a new spot to write at?

- Not yet.

But it's not really
that much of a big deal.

I'm all right.

- And how are things
going with you and--

- Sweetie.

- Do you call anybody
else by that name?

- No, just her.

- And out of all
the names you could

have gave her, why Sweetie?

- I mean, it's just a nickname.

But it fits her very well,
if you catch my drift.

- Oh excuse me.

- Yeah, she's not complaining.

- I guess.

- So what's up with
you today, Doc?

You look like something
is bothering you, man.

- I'm fine.

I'm just a little
tired, that's all.

- Nah, it ain't tired
that I'm talkin' about.

Something's going on.

- No.

I'm okay.

Just fatigue.

I'll work it off.

- No, that's not what it is.

Don't tell me you're
having woman problems, Doc.

- I'm good on that end.

- All right, well.

I mean, just a little
bit of advice for you.

A candlelit dinner
and some flowers

will just make
everything better.

Oh yeah, and some tongue action.

- Like I said, I'm good.

- Hey, if you say you
good, then you good man.

So, have you talked to her
about you seeing a therapist?

Come on.

So you mean to tell me
you haven't spoken to her

about you seeing a therapist?

- I mean, I haven't
really got there yet.

- What's holding you back?

- Let's just say
I'm in a situation

that's extremely
hard to get out of.

- Okay.

And I understand that.

But with that trust,
there has to be

some sort of
honesty between you.

Do you feel like you're
comfortable enough

that you know enough about her,

or you feel like you don't?

- I mean, I'm not too sure.

I'm not too sure
where we at right now.

- Well, to fill you in.

If you can leave your
phone and not worry

about her answering it,
that's how you know.

If she asks for money,
and you don't need to ask

what is she gonna do,
that's also how you know.

And last but not least,
when you can give her

your house keys and not
worry she's gonna break in

or pawn any of your stuff,
that's how you know.

- House keys?

Really?

- House keys.

House keys are very essential
in a man's circle of trust,

it especially lets a
woman know if she belongs.

- Well I don't think
we're at that level yet.

I mean, but she did
tell me that she's

ready to leave her man for me.

- Whoa.

She has a man?

- I'm afraid so.

- I was not ready for that.

- Yeah, neither was I.

But I mean, we talked about it.

She's down for me.

She put all the chips in.

I told her everything I
could tell her about me.

And she's fine with
that, so we good.

- Okay.

It just seems that she's
already been honest with you

and put everything
on front street.

It's just for you to
understand what you want

to do with her, and
not to lead her on.

- Nah, I would
never lead her on.

I know her too well for that.

- Oh, you know her?

- Yeah.

[laughs]

- So, what's her
favorite color then?

Do you even know her last name?

- Look, Doc, I'm more like
the take it slow kind of dude.

- Okay, and I understand that.

'Cause you do have to
take things step by step.

But you also want
to let her know that

you still got
homework to do on her.

You know what I want you to do?

- What's that?

- I want you to write
down every trouble

or every problem that you have

where people will
learn about you.

Any insecurities, any
problems like that.

And I also want you to stop

having insecurities
with your girl.

So when her phone rings,
you don't have to ask her,

"Who's that?"

- Is that what you do?

- It's taken time but...yeah.

We got there.

With trust and just
listening and communication.

You know, everything
isn't what it seems

to be in a relationship.

And I'm not even talking
about relationships.

In life, it's not
always what it seems.

You know what?

With a little bit of patience,
a little bit of trust

and listening, hopefully
your relationship

could turn out as
good as mine is.

- I'm pretty sure it will.

You know, I was
thinking about having

some photographs
of you in my book.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Well you know I
used to do a little

something back in the day.

- Back in the day
like college, or...

like kindergarten?

- What difference does it make?

- A big difference.

- I did my modeling thing.

You know, they say I
look like Tyra Banks.

[scoffs]

- Who told you that?

- Everyone.

A while ago.

- Oh shit.

- Oh my god.

Babe, call the cops.

- Call the cops?

The cops for what?

They're not coming
all the way out here.

And even if they
did, they're not

gonna find the
person that did this.

- Well, so who do
you think it was?

- This is why I don't
let people into my place.

- Kenny.

Kenny.

Kenny!

- What?

- I'm hungry.

I feel like having Chinese.

You want some?

- It's whatever.

- Okay.

You mind picking us up
some while you're out?

- You want me to drive your car?

- Yeah, so?

- Why can't you
just come with me?

- For one, I'm tired.

And I don't feel
like going back out.

What's the problem.

- I mean, considering
what just happened

in my house, what you think?

- Wait, so you don't want
me being here by myself?

Is that it?

Oh, that's how it is, huh?

But you have no issue when
we're in bed together.

For the past few weeks
you'd think I'd be able

to stay here by myself,
but I guess not.

That's some shit.

- Look what just happened to me.

What you want me to say to you?

- I understand that, but this
has nothing to do with me.

[scoffs]

- Yeah, whatever.

- Whatever?

You better watch your tone.

I'm not playing--

- You actin' like you don't see

what just happened to
me in my own apartment.

You don't even seem a
little bit mad about it.

- What I am mad about is that
you're taking it out on me.

Instead of blaming
me, you need to find

out whoever the hell did this.

- Did you really just say that?

- Yeah, well what else do
you want me to say Kenny?

- Nothing.

You don't even have to
act like you care no more.

We both know what this is.

- And what is it?

- Oh you slow now?

You want me to spell
it out for you?

- No, how about I--

[sounds of cup hitting wall]

The only reason you
gave me the time

of day is because you took
a liking to my poetry.

If it wasn't for that, you
wouldn't have looked my way.

You're just like every
other woman out here.

- I don't know who the hell
you think you're talking to,

but you better
straighten your tone.

- Or else what?

You gonna leave me?

Go ahead.

I'll just add your
name to the list.

- Screw you, you fucking
lame-ass asshole.

- [David] Kind of
quiet over there.

Is everything okay?

- It's just one of them days.

- How's the book coming along?

- The book is done.

Should be coming out soon.

- Sounds great.

I'm excited.

So, how's everything going
with you and Sweetie?

- Sweetie who?

- What's that supposed to mean?

You guys aren't talking anymore?

- I haven't spoken to her
for quite some time now.

- Why?

What's the problem?

We got into a big argument.

I haven't spoken to her since.

What was the argument about?

- She thinks I don't trust her.

- Well, do you?

- I think you spent
enough time to understand

if you do or if you don't.

I think it's time to
stop playing games

and let her know
how you really feel.

- Hey.

- What's up?

Long time no see.

- Yeah.

It's a little late, so let's
skip all the small talk.

What's up?

- I just wanted to say sorry.

I mean, you've been
straight up with

me since we met, so I feel like

I should be
straightforward with you.

I owe it to you to be honest.

- Honest about what?

- I've been in and out
of jail since I was 16.

Yeah.

And I just got out
a few weeks back,

so they kind of got
me seeing a shrink.

- So that explains the--

- Yeah.

- Okay, so...

- So if you don't
feel like dealing

with someone like
me, I understand.

- So, what exactly are you
seeing a therapist for?

- I kind of got trust issues.

- I noticed.

- I mean, ever since
I was little, everyone

I've been involved with
either held me high and dry

or betrayed me somehow.

- Well, I'm not everyone.

What about your parents?

- I don't have much
to say about them.

I haven't seen my
mom since I was four

at a gas station, and
I don't know my father.

- No cousins, uncles, aunts?

- Yeah I got a cousin, but
he's just another crackhead.

- Well what about your friends?

I know you've got
a few of those.

- I've got a couple of friends.

- Okay, so where are they?

- In prison.

My last relationship
didn't end too well.

We were engaged and we
just kind of fell off.

- Look, I know you've
been through a lot,

but despite all
that, you can't have

reservations with
everyone you meet.

Plus you still have me.

[kissing sound]

[heavy breathing]

- Babe.

Babe?

[suspenseful music]

[sound of gun clicking]

- What the fuck are you doing?

- Dave.

Babe.

Put the gun down.

- What are you doing in here?

- What, is it a
crime to get a book?

- But do you know
what time it is?

- Yeah I just got back.

I didn't want to
wake you, so I just

wanted to come in
here and grab a book.

Why?

Who'd you think I was?

- Nobody.

Where were you?

- Nowhere.

Don't worry about it.

I actually have to
use the bathroom.

Just go back to bed.

[sound of vehicles]

- [David] I'm fine.

- You sure, doc?

I mean--

- Look.

I already told you
I'm fine, all right?

- All right.

I mean if there's anything
you gotta get off your chest

or anything you wanna
talk about, I'm all ears.

- Well thank you.

Thank you so much.

But no thanks.

- All right, I mean I'm
just looking out for you.

So how was your weekend?

- Just splendid.

- If you want me to leave
and come back, I can do that.

'Cause i feel like I
came at the wrong time.

- There's no need to do that.

- Why do you say that?

- 'Cause this is
our last session.

Yeah, I wrote up
your recommendation.

I'll be giving it to the
judge in the morning.

So unless you have something

important to tell
me, this is it.

- I mean, as far
as I go, I'm good.

And as far as the book
goes, everything with that

is pretty much set in stone.

They say it should be published
within the next five months.

- That's good.

- So, how are you
and Sweetie doing?

- We're progressing.

Actually, we're about to
go on a mini vacation soon.

- Where to?

- Not sure yet.

She says she wants to
go somewhere exotic.

It's up to her.

You should try and take your
lady out sometimes, dawg.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- I mean, I'm just
saying every now and then

your lady deserves
something special.

- First of all, what do you
know about me and my woman?

- I mean, I don't know much,
but by the looks of it,

I can tell that you
spend more time behind

that desk right there
than you spend at home.

- As far as I'm concerned,
my woman is satisfied.

So all your opinions
and your concerns...

not wanted.

- Okay.

You know like I said
before, you can't bullshit

me like you can bullshit
them other patients, doc.

I mean, what have you been doing

for your woman for
Valentine's Day?

- I don't know.

Dinner and a movie.

Same ol'.

- You have no idea, huh?

That's exactly what
I'm talking about.

I mean, how much times
do you think you could

do dinner and movie before
your relationship gets routine?

It's gonna get boring after
a while, and eventually

she's gonna find something
or someone else to get into.

If you know what I mean.

- Hm.

Look at you Kenny.

You think you know it
all now, don't you?

- Nah, I don't know it all, Doc.

I'm just speaking
from my experiences.

You brush it off now
like it's nothing,

but sooner or later
you're gonna realize

it's more than the missed calls.

Then it goes to late night
entering, she's gonna

start answering the
phone in the other room.

Then she's gonna start
wearing the dresses

that you like out
with her friends.

I mean, sooner or later
you're gonna realize that

the only relationship you got
is with that liquor bottle.

And your relationship ain't on

cloud 9 like you thought it was.

- I don't need this.

Here's your letter
of recommendation.

It's the last time I'll
see you in this office.

- Am I missing something, Doc?

- You're not missing
anything but that door.

- All right.

I mean, I'm just
trying to look out.

Remember like I
said, I'm all ears.

- And like I told you
eight times already

in this conversation, I'm good!

- All right, all I'm
trying to say is you gotta

handle your business before
someone handles it for you.

- And like I've been
trying to tell you,

my business is handled.

- Okay, cool.

- Oh yeah, checkmate.

Oh yeah, tell the
wife I said hi.

- Close the door
on your way out.

- Tell me he just came
for a friendly visit.

- Not so friendly.

That was his last meeting here.

- So you're treating him?

- I'm a doctor, what
am I supposed to do?

Of course I'm treating him.

- You got that right.

I'm just saying, I never thought

you'd be treating
him in particular.

- Why?

Is he some kind
of serial killer?

- You really don't
remember him do you?

- Am I supposed to?

- You got a bad memory dude.

Come on.

December 6th, 2011.

Rebecca Halstead.

Ring a bell?

- No.

- When you said you were
seeing Kenny Fredrickson,

I mean, the name
sounded familiar

so I decided to look him up.

- Well I do remember Rebecca.

- Hm.

I'm just a little surprised

you ain't realized that, man?

- How do you expect me to?

It was so long ago.

- Look, all I'm saying is
you need to watch yourself.

Considering all
he's been through,

not to mention the
altercation between you two.

You know he picked your
name off the list, right?

- He what?

- I mean, that's what
his P.O. told me.

[loud hip-hop music]

- Everything good?

- You done here?

Money?

Thank you.

Have a good night.

Hey.

Haven't seen you in a while.

You okay?

- I'm all right.

Can I get some dark, please?

- Where's the missus?

How is she?

- All right, I guess.

I'm actually supposed
to go to an awards

ceremony tonight, but
I doubt we're going.

- Why not?

- I don't even think
she'll want to go.

So much has been going
on wrong between us.

I missed our anniversary.

She's been getting late
phone calls at night.

Yeah.

- You're telling me a
whole lot right now.

- Maybe it's because of
something you put in the drink.

- Maybe.

- Yeah.

- Continue.

- Just not the same.

It's not.

It's just like we're not even
on the same page anymore.

- Well, have you tried
listening to her?

You know, if you don't,
somebody else will.

- See you later.

[loud knocking on door]

- Took you long enough.

- You know me, gotta
make an entrance.

[laughs]

- Whatever.

I have to go to the
bathroom real quick.

I'll be right out.

- I thought you said
you was packed already.

- I am.

Well, kind of.

- Wow.

You look beautiful.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

So how long would you say
we've been talking for?

- I don't know.

A little minute now.

Why do you ask?

- Since it's a special
occasion, I figured

I'd give you something
that symbolizes

how unique you are to me.

- A key?

- Yeah.

- You serious?

[sound of phone ringing]

[sound of gun clicking]

- Hello?

Yeah, he's trying to kill me.

I need your help.

What?

No yes, please hurry.

Come.

Hello?

Yeah, the address
is 5563 Glenview--

- [Kenny] Is it your absence
that makes me hate you

or the regret that
makes me resent you?

How about the blood that
drips from hearing your name?

My heart is cold.

My mood is blue.

All for one reason.

There's no faith in you.

- [Man] Yo.

- How are you holdin' up?

- I'm all right.

- I tried to contact you the
past couple of days, man.

- I really didn't feel
like talking to anybody.

- Damn Dave, I just--

- Look!

Don't.

It is what it is.

I felt like it was bound
to happen sooner or later.

- What?

Bound to happen?

Is that what you really think?

- Hell yeah.

What'd you expect me to do?

Take a picture?

You know what?

Get the hell out of here.

I don't got to talk to you.

- It's not even like that.

- Then what is it then?

You tell me!

- For his outstanding
achievements

in the field of psychology,
the Ron L. Weir award

goes to Dr. David Francis.

You did it, man.

Was it worth it?

- Hell yeah.

Hell yeah.

- What?

Look at your surroundings, man!

Anybody would have killed
to be in your situation!

Beautiful house!

Fiance!

Nice career!

You threw it all away!

- You're right.

I did.

I had it all.

That ain't mean shit.

'Cause nobody had
to see what I saw.

Nobody felt what I felt.

[sniffs]

And you know what?

I'm cool with that.

No regrets.

And if I could, I'd do it again!

Especially to that
backstabbing bastard, Kenny.

I swear.

I mean, I tried
to talk this out.

- Hey.

- I saw--

I saw you.

- No.

You didn't.

You saw my sister.

I've been trying to
call you to remind you

that she was gonna
be spending the night

with us for a few
nights, remember?

Oh, that's right.

You're listening
skills and memory

have never been up to par.

We know that.

- No.

It can't be.

I know what I saw!

- Really?

- I saw you!

- You sure about that?

Because with an
alcohol content twice

the drinking limit, it can
cause you to see things.

And make bad decisions.

Damn it, Dave.

How many times have we
had this conversation?

I'm always talking to
you, reaching out to you,

and you don't even hear me.

It's like you're not
even here anymore.

There's no use for me.

- I've been hearing you.

- No you don't.

All you care about
is your fucking self.

I'm done.

You can have him.

- You know, as crazy
as it seems Dave,

I actually believe you.

- What?

- Trust me.

See what happens is you
don't see it at first.

She's been yelling
for your attention

but all you hear is silence.

- Dave.

- You go by your daily
routine minding your own

business until you realize
that something is missing.

First, you only talk on the
phone when you're not around.

Then she'll start to come home
at all times of the night.

Every time you ask
her where she's going,

she'll either catch an
attitude or be short with you.

You say, "Where are you going?"

She says, "Nowhere."

You say, "Who you goin' with?"

She says, "Why do
you want to know?"

Before you know it,
the only relationship

you have is with
that brown bottle.

- So, you knew who
I was all along?

- Yeah, I knew.

- So, why not the payback?

- Oh, don't get it twisted.

I thought about it
plenty of times.

When I saw your name on
that police station list,

I was like, "jackpot."

What better way of
revenge than to give you

the same favor you gave me?

- Okay.

So?

- So I thought about it.

You wasn't even worth it.

That was her decision
to step outside the box.

I did everything I could, so
I'm not ashamed of anything.

- That's good to know.

At least you
learned your lesson.

- Oh I have, but have you?

It's so easy to point fingers
when you're not in my shoes.

But when shit hits the fan,
and you're on the other side

of that glass, you just
proved that you would

do what anybody else would do.

Maybe one day you'll learn
to stop, listen and trust.

'Cause everything ain't
always what it seems.

But I'll pray for you though.

[soulful music playing]
