[music]

[knock on door]

-Who is it?
-[Fatima] It's me!

I'm asleep!

[door opens]

Forgot I got a key?

[yawns]

[Fatima] Mm-hmm.

[music]

Hey.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I came to apologize.

Fatima,
you really hurt my feelings.

I know I did, Angela.

I mean,
I'm doing the best I can.

[Fatima] I know you are.

And this dating thing is just--

Look, I--
I shouldn't have said that.

No. You were right.
And I needed to hear it.

-[Fatima] I just--
-Am I really that bad?

No.
Angela, you're not bad.

Well, you made it sound bad.

Well, what I meant in all that--

Was exactly what you said.

Yeah, I did, but I definitely
could have found a better way

-to say it.
-Well, you didn't.

Look, I'm-I'm sorry, okay?

I just want you to find a good
man that treats you good.

Like you?

Zac is a good man.

I know, but I mean,
you're working overtime

to get him to stay a good man.

Angela, can you just
accept my apology?

Yeah.
I do.

Look, all I want is for you
to find one man that loves you

and treats you the way you
deserve to be treated.

-What?
-Nothing.

No. Go on.

No. I'm listening, remember,
like you said?

Look, I know Zac has his issues.

[chuckles]

Okay, he has a lot of issues.

I mean, you said it, not me.

But he loves me.

Fatima, that I have
no doubt about.

Me neither, Angela.

I mean, he went after
his own brother for you.

Yeah, and that does not
make me feel good.

I know.
Of course not,

but everybody wants a man
who will do anything for them.

Yeah, but a woman also wants
the man they love

-to not always be in bullshit.
-Yeah. That's true, too.

Yeah, and he is still on this.
Zac is not letting this go.

I mean, I get it.

I do, too,
but I can't live like this.

But if it was the other way
around...

Like somebody did something
to Zac?

Mm-hmm. Yeah, you'd be off
in that a*s.

[sighs] With me,
I have more rationale.

I mean, I'm working on it.
I'm getting better.

[Angela] Okay.

-But with Zac when he gets mad--
-[Angela] Yeah.

All his rationale
goes out the window.

True. Yeah.

And he has a record.
It's--

-Yeah, I know.
-I just--I don't know.

Look, don't be stressing
my godbaby out.

It's gonna be fine.
He'll calm down, okay?

Yeah. You're right.
Look, I'm--I really am sorry.

Yeah, me too.

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

Oh.

-I see that you're alone.
-What?

I knew you'd listen to me.
That means you were listening.

Wait-wait a minute, Fatima.
I am not alone. No.

Angela, what are you
talking about?

-He's upstairs.
-Who?

You don't know him.

Uh, okay.

I was gonna ask
to stay all night, but--

-What? You can.
-Mm-mm, nope.

I do not wanna hear all that.

Fatima,
I already put him to bed.

Don't worry.

Mm. It's fine.
I'll just go home.

Fatima, you can stay.
It's fine.

Angela, I do not want to stay
here with no stranger.

I do it all the time.

That's the damn problem.
You're gonna get enough of that.

Okay, look, it's cool for real.
You should stay.

I'll get him to leave.
No problem.

-Like I said, I'll just go home.
-Fatima, stay. Okay?

Do you have clothes for work?

No, I was just gonna go home
and get ready in the morning.

Okay, all right.
Well, you stay.

I will get him out, okay?

-Are you sure?
-I am sure.

-Okay?
-All right.

But does Zac know you're here?

No, he does not.
I'm giving Zac time to cool off.

Okay.

Well, do you wanna go
help me put him out?

Uh, no.

-I'ma let you handle that.
-Okay.

I'ma pour me something to drink.

All right.

[music]

-Big D!
-[Fatima] Oh, my god.

-You know what she did to me?
-I don't got time for this.

No, she went f*cking crazy
on me.

-So?
-What do you mean so?

-I was just having a party.
-And?

Matter of fact, it was my
birthday party, Zac.

-It's not even your birthday!
-You don't know that.

Listen, she came over to my
house and she started tearing up

all my f*cking sh*t.
My grandmother made me

this beautiful cake that had
hundred dollar bills on it.

It was so good.
It was my favorite flavor,

vanilla sweet cream.
She tore it a-f*cking-part.

Deja, Deja!
I don't care, okay?

Maybe you shouldn't be having
loud parties over here,

-how about that?
-What do you mean?

What kind of landlord are you?

Obviously, a good one 'cause you
still live here, right?

What happened to your hand?

Go inside
and mind your business.

No, I can't because I'm waiting
for the police to come.

Nope. I'm waiting
for the police to come

because I'm filing a police
report, Zac. I am.

-You need to let this go.
-And I'm not.

My insurance is already gonna
sue her a*s

for vandalizing up
all my good sh*t.

You don't even have sh*t
in there.

How do you know?
You ain't been over that

m*therf*cker in a very
long time, might I add.

And I do have good stuff.
Well, matter of fact, I had--

-Deja, stop.
-I had good stuff in there

and before your Tasmanian
f*cking devil came in

and went crazy in my house.
I'm waiting for the cops

because they're gonna come here
and then she's going to jail.

-[Tony] Okay. Okay.
-And that's why she's hiding.

Okay. we're gonna go inside.

Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.

Oh, she left.
She's gone.

How long?

Yeah, it's been--
I don't know, about an hour.

She's hiding 'cause she knows
when she comes back,

-her a*s is going to jail.
-Okay! Okay.

I just needed that information.

-Can you let this go, please?
-I will when she's in handcuffs.

Okay, you're gonna
wait out here?

Absolutely will.

Can you at least wait
on your side?

You don't wanna be here
when she comes back.

Oh, I absolutely want to be here
when she comes back

'cause the cops are gonna be
here and they're gonna

-take her a*s to jail.
-Okay.

Don't worry about it.
Fine.

And what happened to your hand?

Deja, mind your business
and go inside.

You are my business.
You're my neighbor.

You can wait out here.
I don't care.

Yeah, I'm waiting because I'm on
hold with the police right now.

-Thank you.
-Yes.

And second of all,
you whipped his a*s, man.

Yeah, I did.
And you were supposed to help.

Trust me, you ain't need

Yeah, okay.

-All right, so it's over now?
-Yes.

-You did it.
-I did.

Look, Zac,
I know you were upset with him,

but that wasn't all
about Fatima.

Are you a f*cking therapist now?

Bro, you was full of rage, man.
I mean, you blacked out.

Cut that for me.

He shouldn't have touched her.

Yeah, but that wasn't all
about Fatima.

Bro, you ever ask yourself
how that happened?

How what happened?
What are you talking about?

I mean, Zac, look at what
you've been through

Did you ever ask yourself
what happened to him?

No. I don't know.
And I don't care.

All right, man.

Yo, we grew up together.
We both been through sh*t.

Like, it is what it is.

-Yeah, but sometimes--
-You keep saying but.

You keep saying but.

Zac, two people can be
in the same place

and have completely
different experiences.

He made decisions
that he didn't have to.

My mother did the same thing.

Okay, I have no sympathy
for the bullshit.

Look, I know he didn't have to,
but he did.

She did that, right?

Yes, she did.
Okay.

I'm tired.

-All right, man.

But where's Fatima?

I don't know.

No.

Zac, what about the cops?
If they come--

I don't care about the cops.
I don't care.

I don't.

Do you wanna call her?

She won't answer my phone calls.
She mad.

This is what she does.

Do you want me to call her
for you?

-He was in bad shape.
-Yeah, I know.

It was like Zac blacked out

I know he did.

This is why I wanted to tell him
from the jump.

We saw this coming.

No. Zac snapped.
Even I was scared.

Yo, yo, it's gonna be all good.
It's gonna be good.

-We're gonna be fine.
-I don't know.

-What you mean?
-Yo, what if he don't make it?

Oh, come on, man.
He just got his a*s whooped.

That's all.
He's gonna be fine.

Yeah, when he was younger.
He's not young no more.

Look, it's gonna be all right,

Like, what?

-Who cares?
-Are you serious with all this?

What?

She holds him down.
Come on.

And if he love her,
we gotta love her too

'cause we love him.

Yeah. You right. You right.

And for you to say that,

Yeah.

-We all grown except your a*s.

-I did.

So what's this all about?

Nothing.

Um, I did have something I
wanted to talk to you about.

Oh, no.
What did I do now?

You didn't do anything.

I just wanted to ask you
a question about me.

Seriously?

Yeah, um, Fatima said something
about me and men.

And I just wanted to know
what you thought.

Oh, yeah, what'd she say?
That you won't commit?

That you like
to control everything?

That you don't wanna be hurt?
That you let them fall first?

Okay, okay, Bryce.
Damn.

What?

You just had all that
in the chamber ready?

No, I mean...
Yeah, she's right.

Damn.

Whatever.
It's not a bad thing.

It sound like a bad thing to me.

No, no, no, no.
I mean, if that's the way

you wanna live your life,
then no judgement, right?

I'm not sure it is the way
I wanna be.

-Hey, how are you?
-I'm good, Bryce.

I thought I heard someone
