(gentle ethereal music)

(tense electronic beeping)

(electronic beeping

intensifying)

- [Doctor] Clear.

(heartbeat thumping)

(tense electronic

beeping continuing)

Try again.

(electronic device charging up)

Clear.

(heartbeat thumping)

(intense electronic alarms)

Try it again.

(electronic device charging)

Clear.

(heartbeat thumping)

Just two more after this.

(electronic device charging)

Clear.

(heartbeat thumping)

(electronic beeping continues)

(doctor speaking softly)

- We can only save one.

(gentle brooding music)

(Naomi breaths heavily)

- Babe, what is it?

- Where's, where's our child?

Where's my baby?

- Naomi, listen,

it was an accident, all right,

an accident, you had

to remember.

(Naomi sighs)

- Hey babe, are you,

are you still dropping

off lunch for Jill and I?

Papa's roast beef is the

highlight of our weekend.

- I already told you yes,

all right?

And look, you know, just

because they made me detective

with Emmet doesn't

mean the brass is

gonna let me see any

action, you know that right?

- I know baby. I know.

- Okay, look, we've been

over this, all right.

I told you I was going back

to active duty, all right.

And I'm going to be

extra careful,

Emmet's gonna be right there

with me every step of the way,

all right?

- You right, beau.

I just...

I don't wanna lose you.

- You not, all right, and

I'm sorry, Nay,

and I tell you what I'm gonna

say about grabbing some pies

from Poppy's as well, all right.

Just promise me one thing,

do not let Jill get a slice.

She already act like Monique,

no need

for her to look like her too.

I'm serious.

- I love you Mr. Lawrence.

- And I love you too, Ms

Morning breath, Ms. Lawrence.

- Get outta here.

So say Emmet I said thank

you for the flowers.

- I definitely will,

definitely will.

I gotta get to work, okay.

- Mm-hm.

- Okay, call you later.

- All righty.

- All right.

(metallic clattering)

(gentle suspenseful music)

(door latch clicking)

(gentle suspenseful

music continues)

- Yeah, he's right there.

- [Isaiah] I see him.

- I'll be right back.

(door latch clicking)

- All right.

(door slamming)

(suspenseful music continues)

- Officer Fry, what brings

you here on this fine evening?

- Ah, cut the crap Ty,

you got it?

- Asked nicely the last time.

- 5K is missing.

- What?

- $5,000 of my money is

missing, you little sh*t.

Cool, cool off, n*gg*r.

Hey, look, look, look,

I know you didn't pass

the ninth grade.

I know you a little remedial

and everything like that,

but I'm gonna need my money.

Look bro, the last time I

checked, last time I checked,

the full 22 was all in there,

bro.

Last time I looked, I

promise you.

So you're calling me a liar now,

right?

Nah, I never call you a liar.

I don't...

(fist pounding)

- Damn.

- I like you kid.

I mean dumb as a plank,

but you got good connections.

So I'm...

I'm gonna take this

as an alternative for that

5K, all right, see you round.

(Ty speaks softly)

- Done with that fool.

- Yeah, he really thought

he shorted me, man.

He probably would've

gave his mama up, man.

Hey yo, Naomi know

about all this?

- Hell no.

- sh*t, that girl couldn't even

stand on back on the force.

She knew about the pain, man.

I wouldn't even see the

other side of my desk.

Maybe it's just the PTSD.

- Yeah PTSD, yo, you

know every other morning

I have to remind this

girl what we lost.

It's like I already gotta

treat you like that.

f*ck, you might as well

let me have my dream job.

- Hey man, you should be

really nice about that.

You sound dumb as

hell right now.

- Yeah, man, you right, it's

just, yo, I just miss us.

It's like who wasn't

meant to be together, bro?

It's like we was like the

black Romeo and Juliet,

you feel me?

- n*gg*r, they both

die at the end of that,

you know that, right.

- Word?

Damn, I don't know.

I guess that's what we

went wrong at.

All right, Shakespeare, ah.

- Whatever man.

- [Police Dispatch] For the

armed robbery this occurred,

77701 Austin, 770.

- Officer Fry responded,

we will patrol the area.

(tense suspenseful music)

- Yeah, look, I got one.

(car engine revving)

- [Isaiah] Hey, don't make

me chase you, mother f*ck.

- [Emmet] Freeze.

- God damn, my mother

f*cking knee,

I'm gonna that mother f*ck.

(tense dramatic music)

(Emmet breathing heavily)

- You get him?

- Nah, the son of got away, man.

- God damn, f*ck.

- Hey man, don't worry about it,

man.

I'll go put a bullo out right

back at the car, all right.

Let's just go get the

girl some food

before they end us worse

than that knee.

- All right, come help me, bro.

- Oh, sh*t.

- k*ll that mother f*ck.

(birds chirping)

(Julian sighs)

(knuckles wrapping)

- Good afternoon, you

lovely lady.

- Hey.

Hey Berna, what shaking?

- Oh girl, you know Kevin

Lake is being a pain again.

Hey Charles gonna have

his if he keeps flirting

with my new interns.

- I swear that man needs to

learn the meaning of consent.

He's like a chihuahua always

looking for something to hump.

- I mean, but let's get real.

Isn't that all, men,

I swear every man

I've ever dated

has either been trash or g*y.

- I don't know about that,

Miss Naomi over here

seems to have a good one.

(Naomi sighs)

- Tell me, which street

corner do I have

to work at to find that?

- Mm-hm, oh yeah, he's fine,

yeah.

Big strong and beautiful eyes

and it's 30 minutes late

with my God damn lunch.

- You mean, our God damn lunch?

- Mm.

You better not be holding

my roast beef hostage

or I swear I'm gonna

make him look

like Freddy Kruger's

ugly stepsister.

Anyway, is there something

that you need, Ms. Hammond?

- I thought I told you to

call me Berna.

- Berna.

- But I just wanna let you know

I was able to get my own copy

or "Trap" so you can

keep the one I gave you.

- Really?

- [Berna] Mm-hm

- Thank you, that,

that's incredible.

You know, I was hesitant

at first honestly,

but after reading it myself,

I just found it so inspiring.

You know, "I have bloomed a

thousand times in my lifetime."

- "Even when your roots

were damaged."

And that was my

favorite quote too.

- Mm-hm

- Let me know if you need

anything else,

- Okay, will do.

- She really is something,

isn't she?

- Ooh, somebody's got a

little girl crush.

- What?

No, just the book she

recommended,

it was special.

(air whooshing)

(soft somber music)

(Naomi snuffling)

(knuckles rapping)

- Come in.

- Hi, Mrs. Lawrence.

- Oh, hi,

ah, are you a neighbor

doing their good deed

for the day or something?

- Oh no, although I am

glad chivalry isn't dead.

I'm your new manager at

Social Services.

Your husband let me in.

Oh, of course,

what are you doing here, if

you don't mind me asking?

- I just wanted to

meet with you.

I heard about the accident

and I wanted to offer you

my condolences

and possibly some hope.

- Hope?

(intense piano music)

- "Trapped."

- Trust me, that book helped

me in my time of need.

18 years ago, I went

through a major life crisis

and I ended up alone

and a lot of pain that

I could ever imagine.

Nothing anyone said to

me did for me.

It couldn't take away the pain.

I guess You just...

You learn to live with it.

- How, how can I live

with something like this?

How do I forgive myself?

I lost...

I lost my baby.

- You start by realizing that

what happened wasn't your fault.

And then you try to move forward

and when you can't do

it for yourself,

you do it for the man

you lean on.

- Okay.

- Okay.

(air whooshing)

- She just made the

darkness a little brighter.

- Wow, make way, Mother Teresa,

manager Berna coming through.

- It is not like that.

- Somebody's got a

little girl crush.

So tell me, on a scale

from puppy love to misery?

Girl, shut up.

(Julian laughs)

- Finally...

- Hey, baby.

- God, what-

- Sorry, I'm late.

I had a chase down a

suspect today.

- Oh my God, is your leg okay?

- I'm good, look, I gotta go,

all right.

I see you at the house.

- Okay.

- All right.

(Naomi whispering)

- Man, I need a man.

You need a therapist,

- A sexy therapist with tattoos.

(Julian sighs)

You just proved my point.

- What?

- Mm-hm.

Well, hello again, Isaiah.

- Hey Berna, how you doing?

- I'm better now that

you're here.

Do you mind stepping

into my office?

I have some security issues

that could use your expertise.

- Okay, cool.

(door latch clicking)

- You miss me?

- Honey, listen,

I still haven't talked

this through with Nay.

- So you want me to stop?

- I ain't say that.

It's just, you know,

the girl already been

through enough.

I can't put her through

no more pain.

- Okay, so no pain,

how about pleasure?

- What you mean?

- You remember what we

talked about?

(air whooshing)

(Isaiah moaning)

(doorbell ringing)

- God, soon as I'm about to

work out, better not be Emmet.

- Oh, okay.

- Hi.

- Hey, how you doing?

Good, how are you?

- Doing good

- Good to see you.

- You too.

- I just wanting to stop

by to see your wife.

Just wanna offer my condolences,

- Okay, she's upstairs

resting right now,

but you can head up.

- Okay.

- Ha, all right, Berna,

get this workout.

Six pack, here I come baby,

six pack.

- Can I ask how

you're holding up?

- Best way I can explain,

as soon as my leg heals,

I can get back to work.

(tense dramatic music)

- Well, can I...

Can I spot you, while

you're doing your sit up?

- That's nice of you, but my

partner was supposed to come

and help me, but seems

like he got tied up.

So kind of a one man

army right now.

- You partner?

- Yeah, Berna, forgot

I was a cop?

- I I I thought that

you were saying

that Naomi was coming down.

- Oh, oh no, she

doesn't normally help

with these sort of things,

so yeah, she would not

be joining us.

- Well, I like to help

people in a physical sense.

- Ah, aha, thank you.

- Love and opportunity

to show my appreciation

for the effort you've put in.

- Ah, Berna...

- Tell me you don't want this?

I, ah...

- It's not right how she

doesn't appreciate this.

- I, look, I cannot hurt

her like this, all right,

not like this.

- So don't, we can

make this work.

- How?

- You tell me, have you

ever heard of polyamory?

(air whooshing)

- I honestly don't see how

we could make this work

without hurting her.

- Okay, so bring her in,

- What?

- Invite her to this

night club tonight.

I promise you, by the

end of the night,

all three of us would

be in a bed together.

- So what made you decide to

wanna go to this club tonight?

- Hmm, It was recommended

to me by one of my cadets.

- Ha, oh, what? So we gotta

go to the cool kids club?

What's the matter? You

feeling old there, grandpa?

- Ha ha ha, at least my

gray hairs ain't showing.

How about that?

- I just covered tonight,

thank you very much.

- Okay, all right, truce, dang.

Well look, honestly,

I just wanted to have a

lovely night with you,

especially after missing lunch

with you this weekend, baby

- Yeah.

- Plus we deserve to

have a good night, huh?

This how I'm gonna be tonight.

I'm gonna be bouncing

with her like that.

- That's sweet baby, but we

really do need to hurry up

'cause Jillian will be

here any minute.

- I can't believe you

letting that girl drive.

(Naomi sighs)

- Be nice tonight, please.

- Fine, but look,

she better not play no

white pop trash in the way.

Can't believe that girl

sing along to Taylor Swift

after listening to, what is it?

Monk and Coltrane, Kaitrain.

I don't know, get on my nerve.

- I blame her exes, okay,

makes her existential.

- I know that's right.

- All right baby, come on,

we need to hurry up 'cause

she'll be here soon, okay.

- All right, looking good girl.

I do? thank you.

Huh, all right, see

you out there.

("Too Late" by Third Dimension)

Now it's too late

(people conversing loudly)

- sh*t again?

Okay, I'll handle it.

I'm working on the angle,

now if all goes is planned,

then this problem should

go away, permanently.

Okay, well I, I gotta go.

I'll see you sometime tomorrow.

I love you, son.

(Third Dimension, "Too Late"

continues)

(people laughing)

(people cheering)

(Emmet speaking softly)

- Damn, you did a good Zay.

I thought there be a hole

in the wall with warm beer

and naked women.

- Well you know I'm a cop, Jill.

Hole in the walls isn't

really my thing.

- It's not where your

dating history says.

- Hey, now I am his wife.

- Yeah, but you are the

beautiful

exception, not the norm.

Hey y'all, please get off

my back, please

and let's enjoy this party

(energetic dance

music continues)

Now it's too late

(people speaking loudly)

- Ahem, I gotta use the

bathroom, all right.

I'll be right back.

Now it's too late

- So how does Zay

find this place?

I think he heard about it

from a friend.

Oh, well this friend also

happened to be six foot or

taller

and possibly on a motorcycle.

(Emmet sighs)

Jillian, I swear to God,

if you don't

- Stop talking about finding

me, I'm gonna whoop your a*s.

- Okay, on another note,

I think I like to dance.

Care to join on the dance floor?

- Thanks Emmet, but

I'm gonna wait for Zay.

Clearly he bought us here so

we can have some alone time.

- Don't worry, Emmet,

mama will dance with you.

- No, Jill, I don't, I

don't want dance.

Now it's too late

(Isaiah laughs)

- Look who I found

while I was at restroom.

Ms. Hammon, didn't expect

to see you here.

- Ah, girl, what did I tell you?

Call me, Berna

and I come in here

occasionally on weekends

to get the edge off.

It's okay to let loose a little,

even if you come in here and

have a drink by yourself.

- By yourself? Not with us,

first round on me, all right?

All right, I'll be back.

- Are you having a good time?

- Yes, nice place.

- Good, well you look nice.

- Thank you.

- So do you.

- Thank you.

- Suck, suck suck.

- Okay.

- Where jill and Emmet?

(energetic music)

- Cheers.

(intense dance music)

(people conversing loudly)

(intense dance music continues)

- Oh, okay, so let me get

this straight.

You, Emmet and Naomi all

went to college together?

- Yep, well, me and Emmet,

we've known each

other since what?

Elementary school, right,

but we both met Naomi

when she came in to

corrected a professor.

- She did what?

- Oh no.

- Yeah, so apparently

the poor man

had misquoted an English

author or something

and in return his entire

existence

was called into question.

- It wasn't just some

writer, it was Dickinson.

And he tried

to pretend like it was

his favorite author,

trying to be like this

fancy elitist.

He shouldn't have

tried to bullshit.

- Anyway, I found

out on that day

that you cannot

misquote my baby.

All right, or she will put

the fear of God into you.

- That is so cool.

- Yeah, down with the

patriarchy, woo.

- We call her...

- Yeah.

- What? Oh.

- Get your girl man.

- I'm going to take her home,

come on.

- Found one.

- I'm going to take her home.

- Okay.

- Well, I wanna hear a

little more about

how this little firecracker

Naomi used to be.

- It wasn't like that.

- You, when Sasha Barns about

to start a revolution over

that frat house behavior.

I ain't forget

- Sasha Barns?

I haven't thought about

her in a while.

- Who?

- Sasha was my best friend

before I met Jillian.

- And they was like

joined at the hip,

gave me like a creepy

"The Shining" vibes

- Until she dropped outta

school and joined the military.

Oh, what was that about?

- We don't know. She

just up and disappeared.

- Yep, she was in active

duty, died three years ago.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to k*ll the mood.

No, no, not at all.

Isn't this my song?

- I think it is, go get it.

Come on, come on, let's

see what you got.

("Let Me Go by Niahn ft. GRP)

(human vocalizing)

(human vocalizing continues)

I said go, let me go

(human vocalizing)

Let go, let me go

(dance music intensifies)

(human vocalizing continues)

(air whooshing)

(Faith Richards - Bold)

Never knew a moment that

could feel so right.

Could slow down

time like this

Everything I needed is

in your eyes

And in your mind.

Maybe it's crazy to

fall so soon.

Give it all to you, hey, ya

But I don't care

what they say

Please promise you'll stay.

(air whooshing)

- You know what we need?

- What?

- A photo sh**t.

- Please, oh my gosh.

Okay, just be like cutest

little sailor.

Are you sure your

parents aren't home?

- Yeah, they left

like an hour ago.

- Okay, well in that case,

give me your best sexy captain.

- Ooh, smolder, oh my

God, yes, I love these.

These are so cute.

Okay, now for this one.

So me a little different.

Give me like sultry eyes.

(Camera beeping)

(shutter clicking)

Okay, now look at me like

you just saw something

that you wanted your whole life

and you can finally have it.

- What are you girls doing?

(Naomi and Sasha

breathing heavily)

- What in the world is

going on with you?

(air whooshing)

- What is it?

- What is she doing here?

- Who?

- Good morning, Isaiah.

- Good morning.

- Hmm, morning Berna.

- I'm gonna use the

restroom, I'll right back.

- Okay

- What baby?

What is she doing here?

- We had a night.

- A night?

- A very fun night.

(Naomi sighs)

- Such a boy.

- Me, hold up, you are

a member in this tango

from what I recall.

- I slept with my boss.

- Ah, it seems like you two

have a lot to talk about.

So I'm gonna go.

If y'all wanna, you know,

get coffee

and talk about this,

just let me know.

- Mm-hm.

- Okay?

- Okay, thank you for an

amazing night.

- [Naomi] All right.

- [Isaiah] All right, bye Berna.

(Naomi grunts)

(Isaiah groans)

- What was she doing here?

- We had a night, baby.

- A night?

- Yes.

- Oh my God,

say we slept with someone.

We've never cheated

on each other.

We've been married five years.

(Isaiah sighs)

- So what you're saying

you regret it?

- No, I don't regret it. I

just hate how reckless we were.

We've never even talked about

doing something like this.

- You know what, you are right?

It was reckless and we did not

talk it through, all right.

You're right, but I don't know.

I enjoy myself, didn't you?

- Yes, but do you think

this is something

that you wanna continue to do?

- I, I just, damn, I gotta

get back to work, baby.

The boss is calling.

Look, you have the day off,

all right.

Take some time off to

think about it.

If you need to, grab

some coffee,

if that makes you

more comfortable.

But look, I love you, okay,

and this, this doesn't

change that, okay?

- Okay.

- All right, come here,

get some rest girl.

I'll be home later.

- Okay.

- [Isaiah] Okay.

- Yo, honestly man, I don't

know what to do here, bro.

It's like if I get caught,

I'll be putting everything me

and this girl got in jeopardy.

You feel me?

- Well, maybe you should

have thought about that

before trying to screw

somebody else.

- Excuse me.

- Look man, the way I

see it, you are married

to an amazing woman

whom you have fallen

outta love with.

Yet, you remain with her

out of obligation

and you're okay with lying

to her face in order to

get what you want.

- Man, it's not like she wasn't

having a good old time, bro.

She basically took hold

of everything, all right.

And what would you know?

n*gg*r, you ain't date

since college.

- I choose to be single

for a reason,

just like you choose

to be married.

If you don't want that man,

at least have the decency

to clean up your act.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up.

- You see that?

Yo, that's him right there,

that's the thief.

I'm gonna get his a*s.

Nah, nah, nah, I don't

think that's him.

- Are you smoking crack?

That is him.

- No, we did not see

him, at least not today.

- All right, all right,

that's not him.

We didn't see him, this time.

- Let's go.

(water running)

- I cannot not believe

what is going on with you.

What is going on with you?

What is going on with you?

What you two doing in there?

- I'm sorry mom, it

wasn't like that.

- I did not raise you to

do that, okay.

I did not raise you

to be like that

and no daughter of mine

is gonna be doing such

stuff like that.

Not in this house, not

in this house of God, no.

- You're right mama, I'm sorry.

- You know what? If you keep

on doing stuff like this,

your father and I are gonna

stop paying your tuition.

Just wait till he

hears about this.

- What?

- Who do you think you

raising your voice at girl?

Look, I didn't raise you

to be like this

and that is not what

I'm expecting.

You know what?

I'm gonna find a way to get you

more involved in the church.

Couldn't be a choir girl

'cause you know your voice

never really sort of...

Naomi Jones, you get back

here right now, Naomi!

(Naomi mother's voice echos)

(Naomi talking softly)

(Naomi sighs)

- I really wanna call her.

Hey Bernnet, it's Naomi.

Isaiah went into work today

and I was wondering if

we could meet for coffee

if you're free.

One, one sounds perfect,

that'll be great.

Okay, I'll see you then, bye

- Hey, son.

- Ma.

- I seen Officer Fry paid

you a visit today, huh?

- And they seem to be

getting a little

aggressive with the sh*t too.

We need to do something

about his a*s..

- Now that makes sense.

He's trying to scare you

into submission.

- I mean, it ain't just

me, it's everybody.

It's it's the loan

n*gg*r*s, dealers, crooks,

that n*gg*r's terrorizing

the whole hood.

- My entire operation is

going to because of this pigs.

- No, operation?

So while we out there

getting our asses, whoop,

what the f*ck are you doing?

Operation, sound like a

whole politician

up this mother f*ck.

- Oh now son.

- All my n*gg*r*s getting

their asses whooped.

- Son!

- You don't give a

f*ck about them.

We all just pawns of your

grand operation.

What kind of sh*t is that?

- Son, everything

that I've done.

What's the dig you out of the

gutter that you were raised in

and I'm not letting this pig

tear down my entire operation.

- Is that so?

- Yes.

- Is that so?

So here you are empty

mother f*ck' handed.

What the f*ck are you

going to do?

- I'm doing everything I can,

son.

- Everything you can?

- [Berna] Yes.

- h* h*, everything you can,

wow, you, you got a lot

of, a lot of willpower

to do everything you can, huh?

- Listen, listen, if

Isaiah's on our side,

then we can take Emmet down.

Nah, nah, Isaiah on our side.

Why don't we just

k*ll that n*gg*r

and get him over with?

- Think Ty, their cops,

their blood on our hand

is not worth it.

Now, if you can get proof,

then we can get somewhere.

- Proof, you made that

sound real easy, huh?

- Then let me handle it, son.

- Let you handle it.

So I'm supposed to wait

mother f*cking right here.

I'm supposed to wait right here

and wait for you to

handle this sh*t?

Oh, get out of town,

that's real hilarious.

Wait for you,

I'm appalled

that you will even ask

a question like that.

- Son.

- Operation, since we

saying big words.

I'm a appalled. I'm

appalled you as like that.

If you can't handle it,

then you need to step away

so that I can do this.

- You can't.

- I can.

- Okay, I love you, son.

- Yeah.

- But let me handle this.

- Okay, go right ahead, go

right ahead and handle it,

f*cking handle it.

- Hey, yah.

- Oh, hey, thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Thank you for meeting with me.

- Thanks for wanting to

meet with me.

- Okay, there's a lot

to talk about

and I really don't know

where to start.

- Well, we can start with,

was it good?

(Naomi choking)

- Yes it was, it was very good.

- Well, thank you and you

weren't too bad yourself.

- Is this something

you've done before?

- Be with women or

with a couple?

- Both, I guess.

- you can say that

I've been with several men,

several women.

Sometimes, there are a couple,

other times they're apart,

it's called polyamory.

- I've heard of the term.

So is this something that

you might wanna do again?

- Coffee or sex, Naomi?

- I don't know.

I'm just, I really,

I'm having a hard time

expressing myself.

- It's okay, just get

yourself together.

Take a deep breath and

ask a question.

- Thank you for that.

I guess what I'm asking is,

are you wanting to date

or have casual sex?

- Well, Naomi, the sex is good,

but I have to be

honest with you,

after working with you

and getting to know you both,

I wanna be with you.

The both of you, if

you'll have me.

- I have to talk to my husband

and as long as you can promise

that work won't get in the way.

- It won't.

- Okay.

- All right.

(engine humming)

- All right, baby, just

let me know more details

when I'm meet up with you

both later, all right.

All right, I love you too,

all right.

(car door slams)

- So it looks like y'all

working it out, huh?

- Looks that way, Naomi had

a conversation with Berna.

Looks like we gonna try to

give this thing a go, you know?

- So are you gonna

tell her about

what y'all two did

before last night?

- Nope, what she don't

know won't hurt her.

- That is so messed up.

- Nah, what's messed up is

how you let that purse

snatcher get away.

- Hey, what's up with that?

Hey man, look man,

I'm trying to use him

like we use Ty, right.

I figured, man, we keep

pushing on the kid, man.

We bound to get some pushback.

So why you ain't just say that?

Because, man, I just kind

of the hell you been

treating Naomi.

- What? Listen, stay out

my business, all right.

Stay out of it.

You should learn how

to treat women better.

(motorcycle engine revving)

- Mind your business, damn.

(engines revving)

(Naomi laughing)

- Hey you two.

- [Naomi] Hey.

- Sorry it took me so long

to get from the office.

What's going on?

- It's okay baby, how was work?

- It was fine, but me and

Emmet kind of got into a fight,

but you know how that go.

- Well, I hope it wasn't

because of me.

I don't want any trouble

outta this now.

- If he has issues

with what three grown-a*s

people are doing,

he needs to mind his business.

- Can y'all chill please,

all right,

it was open something very,

very stupid.

But you know, we agreed

to take some time

from each other and

that's what we doing.

- It's okay, he just

need to be careful

how he talks about this.

- Right, because I knew

he had a issue

with me the night of

the nightclub.

He seem a little off a bit.

- Honestly, he's not that bad.

- Okay, all right.

I'm right here.

- [Naomi] Okay.

- So what are we doing?

- If it's all the same to

you, we would like to date.

- Date?

- Yeah, we decided, we...

- We want more than casual sex.

- Yeah.

- We just realized that we

have a special connection

and we wanna explore that a bit,

I mean with you, of course.

- Okay.

- So is that something

that you're gonna be okay

with us being together?

- Ah, I think we could

make that work.

I think it'll be cool.

- Okay.

- Oh gosh, now your word

vomit is contagious.

Lord, help us.

- Ha, ha, ha, whatever.

- I'm just saying, you...

- Oh.

- What the f*ck?

Y'all stay right here.

- Are you okay?

- I'm fine.

- Okay, hey Zay sure

know how to run

- Right, he probably shouldn't

have robbed a cop's wife.

So should we call the police?

- He is the police,

everything's fine.

We're okay?

- Okay.

- Hey, look like he took your

car keys in the house keys,

but I left everything else.

- Lemme see, that's weird.

- My lipstick is missing.

- What kind of mugger

steals makeup

and leaves the money?

- Let me see, he probably tried

to empty it out when he ran.

I can go back to the trail

check if he dropped

anything else.

- No, no, it's okay. I

don't wanna ruin this day.

It's been really good

and it's like $20 worth

of stuff I can get back.

- So Nay, are you sure?

'Cause I'd rather stay and

get your stuff.

- It's okay, besides,

this is way more important

and a lot more fun.

- Okay.

- come on.

- Sorry y'all, I gotta go

to the bathroom.

All right, baby, hey...

- Oh.

- What are we doing?

- Exactly what I planned, baby.

We're together now.

- Yeah, but I don't know.

- About what?

Oh, you thought we

screw and be done?

Baby, I thought you

know me by now.

I'm not that kind of girl,

- But you using me,

all right and you using her.

This whole thing is

built on a lie.

- Well, I'm not the only one.

- What was that?

I'm not the only one.

You wanted this.

You wanted me and I wanted you,

but you didn't want her.

Oh, is that what that is?

You're jealous?

You can't have your cake

and eat it too, baby.

It is just the two of us

and nothing can stop you

right now unless you want to.

- Well, well, well I leave

you two all of three minutes

and you're all over each other.

- I'm, I'm sorry,

I'm sorry baby.

- I'm not gonna get jealous.

- See, we're fine.

He was getting jealous about

how much time we've

been spending.

Really, Zay?

- Just a little bit, baby,

a little bit.

- I mean we did spend

all day with each other.

So I think he likes us spending

so much time together.

- Maybe he doesn't like it

when you two talk about him

behind his back when

he's not around.

- Hmm, are you sure?

You don't want to see

what we can do together?

(gentle romantic music)

You can join us at any time.

("Looking In" by

Michael Vignola)

(gentle foreboding music)

(gentle foreboding

music continues)

(Michael Vignola's "Looking In'

continues)

- Bingo.

- What are you doing?

Oh, I'm sorry, I was

just feeling restless.

Did I wake you?

- No, I can't sleep either.

Well, do you wanna do something?

I don't really feel

like sleeping right now.

You know what?

I got just the thing.

(Isaiah snoring)

(Isaiah coughing)

- [Berna] Oh God.

- [Naomi] You ready?

- No.

- That's usually when

you need it.

All right, on a count of three,

three, two, one.

("Presence" by Aija Alsina)

- Ooh.

(water splashing)

- Oh my God, oh.

- Just sink.

- You are absolutely something,

nice call Mrs. Lawrence

- You wanna call me that again?

(water splashing)

- Oh, okay. Okay, okay.

So you swim often?

I used to, back when I

was pregnant.

It my escape from a

very hard day.

Isaiah hates pools, says

the chlorine agitates him.

Was he dotting you constantly?

I can still see him as

a helicopter dad, I do.

- No, not really.

He was working a lot back then.

He was working towards

becoming detective

and when he came home he

would get really upset

because I needed him

to wait on me and foot.

Well he is, he sound like

he was an a*s.

- He was, but that didn't

ruin the experience for me.

I mean, I loved every

second of being pregnant.

I have a son.

- Really, when I was nearing

my senior year in high school,

me and my boyfriend

celebrated little two much

and when I found out he already

left town and switched schools.

So once I gave birth,

I couldn't hide it

from my parents.

So they kicked me out

and they took my college plan.

I'm so sorry that

happened to you, Berna.

Luckily, I was working

in high school

so I used the money I saved

and took night classes and

I got us out that situation

Nay, I did some bad things,

really, really bad things.

I bought us a house,

but the things we become,

it haunts me.

- It couldn't have

been that bad.

I mean, you're the best

person I know.

It doesn't work like that, Nay.

Like the things I've done.

I put my son through so much,

so much.

He didn't ask to be a

part of any of this

and now he can't escape

my mistakes because of me.

And honestly Nay, that,

that really does hurt

me more than anything.

- I, I can't have kids.

- Nay, I'm so, I'm so sorry.

I, I didn't know.

Was it the accident?

- Yep, I mean,

I knew then that we weren't

gonna last that long.

You know, it's been

obligation mostly

and the inability to

separate our lives.

I think that's why we

gravitated to you so quick.

How we've fallen for you. I

mean, how I've fallen for you.

But honestly,

I think we just wanna be free.

Thank you for being that

person for my time of need.

- Naomi, I, I...

- Shhh

("Presence" by Aija

Alsina continues)

(Naomi sighs)

- It's just all so floaty

- Girl, she has got you hooked.

- Yes, yes she does.

I mean, being with Berna,

being a part of this is just

a absolutely incredible.

But it made me

realize some things.

- What, that women are

better than men?

I thought you already knew that.

- It's not like that,

it's just the more

I'm with Berna,

the more I realize how

boring it is with Zay.

We're not even in love anymore.

We're just together

because we're married.

- Nay, do not even tell me

that you're thinking

about switching sides.

The grass isn't always

greener on the other side.

Sometimes the grass

is just dead.

- You know, I would hold

that advice accountable,

had you not tried to sleep

with Emmet the other night.

- Don't you dare try

to hold me accountable

for drunk Jillian's actions.

She's a crazy girl

with the body count

longer than all the lines

and all the clubs.

- I'm not even gonna dignify

that with a response, okay.

But have you spoken to Emmet?

Zay mentioned that he's

been acting weird lately.

- Oh, I think he was upset

'cause they ran out of

the really small condoms.

- What?

- Hey.

- Okay, answer the question,

seriously.

- Okay, no, I

haven't seen Emmet.

I'm pretty sure he is

still really mad at me

because God forbid I

drunk for it with someone.

- That's fair.

- Come on.

- Okay, are you excited about

the fundraiser ball tonight?

- Yes. I can't wait to

see you two together.

Wait, is Zay and Emmet

gonna be there?

- Yeah, they ask for

some overtime.

- Girl, how are you

getting away with this?

Like how's this gonna work?

I mean, is there a

throuple dance

or are you gonna make them

fight over you?

Yeah, you should make them

fight over you.

My money is on Berna there

because that is crazy.

She's scarier than Freddie

Kruger's a*s sometimes.

- Listen friend, you need

to shut up about this, okay,

before I punch you.

- Punch.

- Don't spike the punch

this time please.

- I will make no such promises.

- I'm good.

All right, man, I put in a

lot of work to get you these.

Yeah, I know, yo, it's

just this thing

with Berna and Naomi,

got me tripping.

I thought it was between

the three of y'all.

I thought that too,

but it's like,

yo, they turned it to

"Thelma and Louise" on me

and I feel like I'm getting

completely iced out.

- Hmm, makes sense.

- Yo, you wanna get your foot

off my a*s with my choices.

- What? Man, I mean you are

trying to fix a relationship

by creating a whole

nother relationship.

- [Police Dispatch] One, one

and one-four to cover 211 armed

at Lupita's market, 889

fourth Street.

- You wanna get his

a*s this time

or is he still useful?

- He played his role,

let's get his a*s.

- My man.

( thief coughing)

- All right, sh*t, I need

to f*ck up out of here.

Now that sh*t good.

- Mr...

- Why the are you still in town?

I'm leaving bro.

I was just checking

on my baby mama

and the, and the babies

bro, that's it, bro.

- They put the call out.

They're looking for you.

You know I know where you

are everywhere, every time.

This is not going to work.

- Okay, understandable, that's

why I'm on my way outta here.

I got the, I got the

lipstick, the eyeliner,

little glary sh*t.

What you asking me for, right?

So you need me to

mind my business?

No. um-Huh,

no, I'm about to, I'm about,

I'm me,

I'm about to go mind

my business over there.

I need to mind my business, Zay

- Zay? No, me.

You should really learn

how to treat women better.

I treat my baby mama good.

I just, with that sh*t.

You know what they say

about skinny n*gg*r*s?

- You know what?

My apologies, so you leaving,

right?

- Yeah.

- Wouldn't get the f*ck

outta town, get out.

- Alright, Et...

- Get out.

- Lemme get some.

- Get the f*ck on, n*gg*r.

- All right, Et.

("Something in the Ether"

by Kyle Preston)

(g*n firing)

("Something in the Ether"

by Kyle Preston continues)

(Emmet breathing heavily)

- Yo, its me.

- [Isaiah] Oh, man, what's

up? While we split up.

I could have helped you out.

- Yeah, I found him.

- [Isaiah] I'm on the way.

Do not fool.

- Well, he's, he's dead.

- [Isaiah] Dead, what

you mean he dead?

- Yeah, some n*gg*r popped him.

- [Isaiah] I told you we

shouldn't have split up.

- Yeah, I know, I know.

I'll see you back at

the station, all right.

- [Isaiah] All right, stupid,

mother f*ck.

- Should treat women better.

- Oh, so you got proof?

- You stop being useful

and your dumb about to be

a headline in the news.

So shut up and take

it like a man,

besides going to a good cause.

My partner needs it for

his leg or something.

- Got no proof for you?

Oh my god, son, are you okay?

- I'm straight, mom. I'm

straight don't worry about it.

I'm straight, I promise you.

Look, I just want the pig gone,

that's it.

- Okay, we'll confront

him tomorrow.

- Tomorrow, what the do

you mean tomorrow?

No, we do this today.

- Listen son, I understand that.

- No, today.

- But you need to go to

the hospital.

Plus there's some ramifications

that I didn't consider.

- Ramifications?

- Yes.

- What the f*ck does that mean?

- It means that the

collateral damage

of this will hurt people.

Collateral damage,

the f*cking collateral damage.

No, no, no, you don't get

to cut this off

just because you wanna fall

in love with the n*gg*r.

Now, I gotta put up

with this sh*t

and f*ck that, Ma.

- No wait, Ty, sh*t.

(tense dramatic music)

- You lying a*s b*tch.

- Who you calling a b*tch?

Why would you snake yourself

into my life, f*ck my wife.

All because my partner

was selling drugs

to your drug dealing a*s son.

- While your adult friend was

stealing money for him himself,

he was stealing pills for you.

Every pill you took was

a pill taken from a kid

that was doing what he

needed to do for his family.

I don't owe y'all no

god apology.

I was playing the

game like he was.

So let this be the last time

you ever put your hands on me.

- If you think I'm gonna

let this slide,

you got it all wrong, all right.

- I'm gonna tell her even

if it hurts her,

but I guess that's just

what liars like us deserve.

- Hey, down walk away from me.

Get your God damn

hands off with me.

- All right, y'all made me

hurt my knee, lemme get a shot.

- Hey Jillian, Naomi, can

I please speak with you?

Oh sure, one moment.

- [Jillian] I wish I

was getting...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

what are you doing?

Our coworkers, your husband.

He won't be my husband for long.

What?

I'm getting a divorce.

Listen, I love Isaiah.

I will always love Isaiah,

but I want this.

I want us,

- Naomi, I want that too,

but I have to talk to you.

I haven't been honest

with everything...

- Berna, there's a

situation outside

that requires your attention.

- sh*t, excuse me sir.

Oh, sh*t, this mother

f*ck nice.

- Okay, I need to handle this.

Just promise me we'll

talk later, okay?

- Sure.

- Naomi.

- What?

- Sorry, sorry,

are you, are you

leaving the gala?

- No, I was just trying to

talk to Berna, what's up?

- Okay, well, I can't

wait anymore.

I I have to say this right now,

Naomi, I'm in love with you.

- What?

- I've always been in love

with you since college,

since the first time

I saw you in the hall.

- Myself and Sasha Barnes?

We've always been close,

Emmet like...

- Yeah, yeah, but she

left and you were hurting.

And Isaiah, he's just,

he's too blind to see it.

But Naomi, I see you, I see you.

Even if you don't see me,

- I can't.

Okay, I, I can't do

this to Isaiah.

We cannot do this.

Wait, Naomi.

- No.

- Naomi, Naomi,

- Get your hands off of him.

He is a victim, not a criminal.

- That's right, today,

I guess I'm both, huh?

- Son, not another word

until you get a lawyer, okay.

Berna, what's going on?

Is, is this your son?

Naomi, I, I, I, I wanted

to tell you, I just,

- Oh, if it ain't the pork chop

for yourself, how are you today?

Lemme tell you something,

mother f*ck,

I know you did this.

- Hey, calm down.

- Shut the f*ck up.

This is you, mother

f*ck. I know this is you.

And look, it's all right,

it's all right

because we going down together.

We all going down together, you,

me, Fry.

We all going down together.

- Berner, what the hell

is he going on about?

I, I, I didn't know this

is gonna go this far.

I was, I was, I was just

trying to save my son.

I was just trying to

save my son.

What are you talking about?

- Oh, you really

don't know do you?

You really don't know. Well

listen to this bullshit.

So she has been the both of you

on some freak, nasty to

get some leverage.

Some leverage because his

hoe-a*s partner

came to my turf and

k*lled one of my n*gg*r*s

- Look, that's a lie, all right.

- Bullshit.

- Relax.

- f*ck you, that's bullshit.

You know it's bull sh*t.

You know it.

You want to know why

that's bullshit?

Because you been

exploiting me for ages,

mother f*ck.

For age, Y'all been taking

my sh*t, taking my money,

my weight, my drugs, n*gg*r.

My means to live out this

mother f*ck.

Matter of fact, you're

here, where the f*ck is Fry?

All right...

- Officer Fry.

- That's enough,

hey, y'all can meet him

at the station, Zay.

We hopefully we can sober

up a little bit.

- Oh no, that was

probably the punch.

I think somebody spiked it,

I'm not sure.

- You mean to tell me,

everything we did was

to get to him.

- Naomi, I needed to

save my son, okay.

Emmet was gonna destroy

everything that I've built.

I didn't know that it was

gonna get this far, Nay.

You did not have to f*ck

me to get to him.

- It's because I didn't

want to cheat on you,

but she wanted to get to

you to get to me,

the whole game of hot potato.

- How long has she been

trying to sleep with you, Zay?

Baby, it's not like that.

Berna, how long have

you been trying to sleep

with my husband?

Since right after the

accident, since day one,

since the day we met.

When I was going through

losing my son?

- I was trying to save my son,

Nay.

- And I lost mine

and you was becoming a

beacon of light in my life,

only to tear it down.

(Berna breathing heavily)

You k*lled us, you know that,

right?

- Let's be real about this.

We were only together

because neither of us

could leave each other.

If he wasn't so much

in the closet.

- Seriously, you blaming me.

- You put this in my face

so that you could feel

better about it?

- This whole threesome

idea that was only for you.

- You wanted that. You wanted

to feel free and you got it.

- I hate you Zay, and karma

is going to make you pay

for everything you did to me.

I'm gonna go stay Jillian's,

but I want you out of the

house and outta my life.

Come on, I'll call us a cab.

("Swept In" by Michael Vignola)

(car door latch clicking)

- Come on, come on, come on,

come on, don't be scared.

- Where you taking me?

- Hold on.

- What?

- It's a surprise.

- What?

- Voila.

Huh, look what we got.

- What is this?

- A house, baby, our house.

- Oh my God.

- Beautiful, right.

- I don't know, Zay.

- What?

- I don't think this would

fit that big ego of yours.

- Whoa now, this

house is perfect

and it's in our price range.

Got the trees, look at the yard.

- Okay, but can you believe

we made it this far?

I mean, we bought a

freaking house,

this is amazing,

- Man, I'm still hung

up on the fact

that I got you to marry me.

- Well, believe it, Mr.

Lawrence.

I plan on being your wife

for a very long, long time.

- A long time?

- A long time.

- I know that's right.

- Come here girl, look

at this house.

I know.

Let's check it out.

- Okay.

- [Isaiah] Check out

the backyard.

I got a pool.

- [Naomi] What?

- [Isaiah] Yes.

(Naomi and Isaiah laugh)

(air whooshing)

(soft somber music)

(door latch clacking)

(hinges squeaking)

- Pass the ball, Westbrook,

damn.

- [Newscaster] Can't get it in

and they finally do Westbrook...

- I got secret to tell you.

- What you doing?

- I'm coming in.

- Don't fall.

Why you rubbing your stomach,

need the bathroom or something.

What happened?

- We're pregnant?

- Huh, we pregnant?

- We pregnant.

- Is this real?

- It's real, baby, you serious?

- Oh, let's go baby, let's

go, Westbrook, let's baby.

Oh my God, oh, I'm so

happy to hear that.

Come on, let's go.

- Come on.

- Where we going? What's wrong.

We better go make another baby.

He already made the baby.

- It's time to get

started on baby two.

- Slow your roll, Isaiah.

Let me give birth to

this one first.

Hey, practice make perfect.

All right, let's go, let's go.

("Swept In by Michael

Vignola continues)

- Hey, what's wrong?

- I lost him.

- You lost what?

- The baby.

- Come on baby, it's not so bad.

(Isaiah and Naomi crying)

(Isaiah talking softly)

- I'm sorry.

("Swept In" becomes

more intense)

- Zay, Zay, please,

please, please wake up.

I'm sorry, Zay.

- Hello, somebody help

me, Zay, please help me.

- Hey, just have some coffee.

- Thank you.

- I'll be back in one minute.

What do you mean the examiner

won't hand over the body?

- The doctor said he

wasn't sure it was suicide.

Said the angle and the

g*n residue aren't right.

- That's insane, Naomi

can't handle all of this.

You need to do

something about this.

- What to do about this?

I mean, after, after the

fiasco and the dance hall

and all this, I mean,

I've been basically iced

out of everything.

- I don't care if you

have to go in there

and beat the crap out

of him, fix this mess.

- Excuse me?

- You're responsible

for this mess.

You're the one that supplied

Isaiah with the drugs

that got Berna involved.

And then you finally

grew the ba*ls

to let her know

about your crush,

the second she found

out how unhappy she was.

- Okay, so how'd you...

- Please, they might have

been oblivious

to your little crush,

but I saw it from the

first second I met you.

It's only a matter of time

before she realizes what a

little, stupid parasite you are.

- First of all, weren't you

trying to sleep with me?

- So I like to sleep

with men, a lot of men.

Clearly my standards are low.

Now, grow some ba*ls and go dig

us out of this hole you made

before you bury us all.

(doorbell rings)

- What the hell are

you doing here?

Isn't your son about

to go to jail?

- Lawyer has him out on bail.

I need to talk to Naomi.

- The hell you do. I would've

smacked the out of you

for what you put her through.

- After everything I did,

I smacked the outta me too,

but she needs to know

this as painful as it is.

- Fine, but only

because I bet when

she jumps you,

she's gonna be feeling

a hell of a lot better.

- Anything else?

- Emmet is here, I don't

quite get all the beef

that went down,

but I will not have you two

causing a scene in front of her.

Is that clear?

- Crystal

- What the hell is

she doing here?

- She said she wouldn't

leave without talking to you.

- I am so sorry for

just everything.

- Cut the crap, I don't want

or need an apology from you.

You snake your way into my

life, take advantage of me,

made me believe that

you hang the moon

and the stars only for

you to tear them down?

What possibly could you

do to me now.

- I'm pregnant.

What the hell did you just say?

- I'm pregnant, look,

I am so sorry

for dragging you into

this crusade.

I never should have gone

about this the way that I did,

but I needed to do whatever

it took to save my son.

Now, I know this baby

doesn't change what I did,

but it is Isaiah's.

And if you want anything to do

with this baby's life, I

want that too.

I'm, I'm sorry, Naomi,

I'm sorry.

- I can't do this right now.

Jillian, I'm gonna go

take a rest,

talk to her about my

leave of absence.

- Of course, anything you need.

("Far Away" by Vero G)

Far away, just want to

touch your face

Look back at those,

those days.

Know that you are not

here with me.

Remember how we used to

hold me or kiss me so softly

Caressing, so gently,

telling sweet nothings

- Zay, tell me something.

And make you come, come back.

- Is anybody hungry?

- How?

How are you even

hungry right now?

- How?

- it's good to see you up, Nay.

Oh my, Naomi, put that down.

- How could you?

How could you do something

like that, Emmet?

He loved you,

- Naomi, I don't know what

happened, but put the g*n down.

- Why'd you k*ll Isaiah?

- What?

- k*ll Isaiah, he's my partner.

He was my best friend. This

is your g*n I'm holding.

It was in my husband's safe.

You shot him after the

poison didn't work.

- Poison?

- The pills, they're

real from Ty.

But if you added special ones,

of course you did.

You wanted him to get caught.

You wanted to ruin him

in Naomi's eyes.

- But it didn't work because

he was trying to quit.

- But you got violent.

- Are you in insane?

Why would I do all of that?

Because you love me

and you would remove any

obstacle in your way.

But you left a few clues

uncounted for.

- Of course, I did

'cause I love you.

- Oh my God.

Did it for you.

You wanted him dead.

You wanted him dead, after

everything he did to you.

- You did it for you.

You k*lled Isaiah.

You got him addicted to drugs.

You got burn involved

in all of this.

You put us through all of

this over a stupid crush.

- Crush, a crush?

Naomi, I'm in love with you.

You are everything to me.

And after everything that

you found out,

he was keeping and

hiding from you.

- He was hiding it from you.

- He knew how

dangerous you were.

That task code on the safe was

only something I would know

if he left evidence from those

so-called transactions you made.

- Naomi, that's not

what it seems.

You gotta believe me.

I don't believe jack sh*t.

You k*lled my husband, Emmet.

(metal hitting flesh)

- Emmet, wait.

(g*n fires)

- Wait please.

- Shhh

- You are so beautiful.

- Emmett.

. I'm really sorry about the

guy I hired the other day

to rough you up and

take your purse,

but I just needed to

get some of your things

because I didn't have a chance.

Of course, I should've

knew this ahead of time,

but all Isaiah wanted to

do was talk about

how you were in bed.

He's such a pig, but

he's gone now.

One less obstacle in our way,

come here.

- Emmet, please.

- Shhh, shhh,

I want you to smear your makeup.

(Berna moaning)

Every time I try to

do something,

it seems to be like something

that's always getting

in our way.

Hang tight, baby.

- Emmet, Emmet, please, please.

(Berna screaming)

She's pregnant.

- What the f*ck did

you just say?

- She's pregnant and it's

Isaiah's baby.

- Is this true?

- I just found out yesterday.

- sh*t, f*ck, God damn it.

- Emmet, Listen, you've

already taken Isaiah from me.

But if you take this baby of

this world, you lose all of me.

- What?

- Naomi no.

- Shut up, b*tch.

- Focus on me,

you've taken so much already

and I may never forgive you,

but if you let her go,

I won't run.

I won't fight and we

can finally be together

just like you want, okay?

- You won't say anything.

You ain't say nothing to nobody,

right?

I have no idea where

you're going.

- All I wanted was for

you to let my boy go.

And you, you, you did that.

Just, just, just take the

money you got for my son

and just, just, just leave.

- Thank you, thank...

I'm gonna tell y'all like

this, tell you real straight.

Get up, you say anything,

she dies.

You fight back and

that b*tch dies.

Okay, thank, thank you, Emmet

- Goodbye Berna, take

care of this one, okay?

- I promise.

(door crashes open)

(tense dramatic music)

- [Naomi] Oh.

(Ty groaning)

- You, get out, mother f*cking,

oh.

(fist smashing)

(g*n firing)

("Swept in" by Michael Vignola)

(Naomi breathing heavily)

- I just wanted to be seen.

(Naomi and Berna crying)

- It's okay.

- So you confronted him

about k*lling your husband?

- Yes and he overpowered us.

It became a struggle at first,

but we were able to take him,

not without casualty, of course.

So what about the money he said

that he had for you guys

to run away with?

I never saw it.

The bag only contained

the makeup and the jewelry

that he stole from me.

Okay, so how did you

three overpower him?

Motherly instincts,

okay, well, looks like I

got everything that I need.

I will be in touch with you

and doing some surveillance,

- Okay.

- All right, thank you.

- Thank you, have a great day.

- You too.

(door latch clicks)

- Here, take this.

He's gone,

but it's not safe for you to

be in this town any longer,

not with two possible

m*rder charges.

- And what, I'm supposed to

just take this money and leave?

- No, you're gonna

take this money

so you can be free, free of me.

- I don't, I don't understand.

- Ever since you were born,

I tried everything I could

to get you out of filth,

just to realize I'm the

one keeping you in it.

You deserve to be free, free

to make your own choices.

Officer and I will not

stop you this time.

(Ty sighs)

- I dunno, ah, thank you,

thank you.

- Thank you, son.

We wouldn't have

survived without you.

What made you come?

- I guess because you need me.

- I did, I did son,

but this child needs me now.

And I am gonna focus on

every obstacle I had over you

so that this child doesn't

have the same problems.

- All right, mom,

- Goodbye son.

- Goodbye mama.

(Naomi sighs)

- So, is that it?

I think,

I don't have any more

skeletons in my closet, do you?

- Not that I can think of.

- Look, I'm, I'm sorry

for everything.

I really care about you, Naomi.

I, I do more than I, I

can really put in words.

I just, I, I, I didn't mean

for any of this to happen

or to hurt you.

- Given everything

that's happened,

I think we should just

take some time, you know,

take some time to just think,

even take some time about us.

If that's even still

what I want.

- I will see you at work?

Is tomorrow, Monday?

- Yeah, but I think

we both can take the day off.

- Yeah, we calling in sick.

What's another another secret.

(Naomi sighs)
