02x07 - Mind Over Matter"

[bunniefuu]

What the hell do you have on?

This was in my mother's care package.

She don't want you to ever have grandkids, do she?

[Zac]Previously on Zatima.

[Nate] This is old girl. This is Fatima!

Datin' app, get you some a*s now.

Check your phone. I just sent you somethin'.

Fine!

[Zac]I don't wanna see this, n*gga.

Get the f*ck off my phone, bro.

She loves me.

How 'bout you tell her that you went broke,

and then see what she does?

Can you invite me and him over?

We just need to all talk. Okay?

Hey Zac, I know you ain't--

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!

Oh! Ohh!!

So, you just gon' stand there?!

You think this is funny?!

[phone ringing] I'm sorry, I'mma let you finish.

[giggling] [phone ringing]

Hello?

[Angela]Hey, girl. What's goin' on?

Nothin'.

[Angela]Was he there with somebody?

No.

[Angela]Whew! I was on my way over there.

Girl, it's fine.

[Angela]You sure?

Yes, I'm sorry.

[Angela]What did you hear?

Oh, it, it was the girl next door.

[Angela]She's there?!

No, she was havin' sex next door.

[Angela]Whew, girl, I was about to say...

I'm sorry, girl.

I didn't mean to get you all riled up.

[Angela]You good. I'm sorry.

I was ready to kick some a*s with you.

Will you stop?

[Angela]You'd do the same.

We'll talk about this tomorrow.

All right, girl.

[Angela]And you tell Zac that Bryce wants us to have dinner.

Angela, I'm telling you, that's not gonna be good.

[Angela]Just tell him.

All right, fine.

I gotta go.

[Angela]Okay, bye.

Bye.

[music]

You just gon' stand there?

What?

Are you laughin'?

I'm not laughin'.

You laughin'!

This ain't funny!

I, I don't think anything's funny.

Yes, you do! You think this funny!

I'm here tryin' to take care of myself

'cause my fiancée won't, and you laughin'.

Okay.

And you think I wanna have sex with you

after the way you've been actin'?

Me? The way I been actin'?

Yes, the way you've been actin'.

-Wow, wow. -Yeah.

[Zac] Okay.

Get, get away from me. Go, go do what you gotta do.

[Fatima] Fine, I gotta get ready for work, but...

How you like it?

Best p*ssy I've ever had.

What?

-Mm-hm. -What'd you say?

-Nothin'. -Huh?

I didn't say nothin'! I didn't say nothin'!

-Go get dressed! -Really, the best?

-Go get dressed! -Okay.

-You got it for me! -[Fatima] Mm-hm, I did.

She just don't squirt like you do.

I know she don't.

[music]

* Love ain't perfect *

* But we still work it *

* May not be what we see on TV, but it's damn sure worth it *

* Uh-huh, love ain't perfect *

* But we still work it

* Don't gotta be what we see on IG *

* 'Cause we still worth it *

* Uh-huh *

* Yeah, yeah *

* Yeah *

* Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo *

* We still worth it *

[music]

What are you doin' here?

Lookin' for Tony.

Yo, Tony!

[Tony] Yo!

Got ol' scary out here.

[Tony] Ha!

Who's scary?

You just look scary.

I'm a grown-a*s man.

You mean a boy in a man's body?

Stop playin' with me, man.

Tony!

Yo.

What's up, brother?

Nothin', man.

You good?

Yeah.

I gotta talk to you.

Oh, bet.

Brother, give us a minute?

Yeah, go ahead.

Appreciate it. Grab a seat, man.

Sit down.

What's goin' on, bruh?

Well first, how the shops goin'?

Oh, man...

I mean, this one's doin' okay.

The other two, they killin' it.

But you know, I keep this one open 'cause of my pops, so...

[Zac] Yeah, I know.

Yeah.

I need some advice, man.

Yeah, talk to me. What's up?

But look, I need, like, a solid perspective, yo.

I mean, come on, bruh. That's me, man.

I got you.

Do not, and I repeat, do not tell Nathan.

Oh, this sounds serious, bro.

Aight, I got you, of course. Of course.

So, you know about the sex thing, right?

Yeah, she's not givin' you any...

[Zac] I know, I know, just stick with me.

She ain't been givin' me none.

Last night, Deja called me because the water was runnin'.

-Yeah? -And I go over there...

Oh, sh*t! I knew it!

I did not...

I'm sorry, my bad, I'm sorry. I got too hyped, I thought...

-I thought Zac Attack was... -[Zac] No!

No, I'm listenin', I'm listenin'.

Don't be like Nathan, bro. Please.

I know, I'm not, I'm not childish, bro.

I go over there...

She naked.

In the tub.

Bubbles everywhere, legs in the air.

I see everything, I'm tryin' not to.

I almost bust my face on the door.

Tryin', I'm tryin' my hardest, right?

She's, "Zac, Zac," she rubbin' her feet on me,

it was crazy.

I leave there, I ain't do nothin'...

Damn.

But when I step outside...

Fatima's comin' in the house. I got a f*ck' hard-on.

Damn, bro!

I got on sweatpants, she saw it. Like...

It was all bad. All bad!

I come out the house, here's the crazy part.

What's that?

When I come out the house,

she's comin' out of the car of some random dude.

Oh, sh*t. Hold up, first thing...

How did she react?

Did she question you

when she saw you comin' outta Deja's house?

She didn't say anything.

Fatima I know?!

She didn't get mad, she ain't pull out a g*n.

She didn't do nothin'?

She didn't do anything, bro.

Oh, damn, bro. It's over, man.

Why you say that?

Bruh, when a chick stops carin'...

That's when you know you're done, right?

Fatima, you knew that she cared when she got upset.

-Right? -Right.

I mean, but yo, at the end of the day, it's...

It's a good thing, 'cause I mean,

after that profile sh*t we saw...

That's not her.

Oh, that...

That's right...

She was at home, you said, when Nate hit you...

[Zac] Okay...

About that. She wasn't at home.

I just said that 'cause I ain't want Nate

to keep runnin' his mouth.

So, there's a chance that that could be her page.

No, I, I don't believe that it's her.

Yo, hold up, okay, aight. Let's reverse it.

Did you question her when she came outta the car?

I couldn't.

[Tony] Why, 'cause...?

I had a hard d*ck,

and I had just hemmed the dude up in the office.

Well, it looked like he kinda had you pinned up against it

when his--your arm...

Wait, wait, what?

Yeah, it's online, it's everywhere, bruh.

-It's trending. -[Zac] Where?!

I got it bookmarked. Here, I'll show you.

Look, he look like a generic, light-skinned, knock-off,

-versison of Zac Attack. -[Zac] All right, all right.

All right, I don't even, I don't even wanna...

I don't know what to do no more, bro.

Real talk, bro...

I think you might want to reconsider

this whole marriage situation, bro.

Like, I mean, I'm just sayin', bro...

Aight, aight.

I want the best for you, right?

So what I'll say is, you know,

maybe you need to, you know,

take some time, relax, grab a drink.

Maybe some wine, roll an L, somethin'.

Just take some time to relax, and think about it,

and do what's best for you long term.

'Cause your sanity is important, right?

Your peace is important.

No, bruh, you sound like Nathan, man.

I can't do that, bro.

Nah, I'm just sayin' take some time,

think it over, and do what's best for you.

If it's bein' with her, then be with her.

If it's bein' by yourself, then be by yourself.

You just gotta be true to you.

Damn.

[Tyrone chuckles]

There was a bunch of confusion, huh?

Mr. Tyrone, man, I ain't got no time for this, really.

See, that's what's wrong with you young jacks.

You don't wanna listen.

I'm sorry, Mr. Tyrone, but sh*t ain't the same

as when you had -track tapes back in the day.

Maybe not. But women ain't.

No, they not!

How you figure that?

Y'all ain't have social media.

You can't just open your phone, get a app,

see somethin' you like, and go get it.

Nah, you right.

But I can go to that college and run through them hoes.

Aight.

Listen, you keep runnin' to these young men for advice.

They can't tell you sh*t.

Now if you want wisdom, you go to wisdom to get wisdom.

All right, so then give me some wisdom, then.

All right. That girl?

That's a good girl, man.

You don't even know her.

I hear 'em talk about it.

I also hear him talkin' about breakin' you up.

-What?! -That Nathan.

Yeah, he don't, he don't f*ck with her like that.

He want me to be like him, you know?

Be out here like him?

-Yeah... -Lookin' like a damn fool?

Yeah.

You're too smart for that, champ.

She ain't makin' it easy, though.

You sure it's her?

I mean, I got my own set of problems.

Yeah, well, you both do.

But I'mma tell you this.

Don't do what I did.

What'd you do?

I woke up one mornin', I was, I was over .

You know, and I had ran through so many...

So many good women.

Then I found myself an old b*tch.

You know, try and have sex with a, wit a old b*tch.

She told me, "Will you put my leg down?"

Heavy leg...

[Zac] Tyrone.

Hey, look, I'm just tryin' to tell you my story.

-You divorced, brother. -[Tyrone] I know.

And thank God for Obama.

-Obama? -[Tyrone] Yeah!

Man, I got that Obamacare, and I dropped that b*tch.

Oh, wow.

Hey, either that, or go to jail for killin' her.

All right, with all due respect, I gotta get outta here.

All right then, you go on home.

But no, I'm, I'mma tell you this one more time...

I, I heard you loud and clear.

All right, what'd I say?

Be careful who I get advice from.

Okay.

Be very careful who you get advice from.

Because if a n*gga's tellin' you what he would do

and he ain't figured out his own sh*t?

Run.

Appreciate you.

Stop smokin', too.

This a vegan cigar.

They don't even make those.

You need a haircut, brother.

[Paul] Yeah, I really appreciate that.

You didn't have to do that.

Yeah, as a matter of fact,

the more that like when I push on it...

[Fatima] I'm here to see Dr. Reid?

Fatima, hey.

Hey. What are you doin' here?

I was just meetin' up with a friend.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, but you know, he just wrapped up.

I'll, I'll introduce you in a second.

Okay, great.

How are you?

I'm, I'm good.

Yeah.

How's Zac?

He's good, too.

Oh, well, that's unfortunate.

Don't start.

[Paul] I was just messin' with you.

But seriously, thank you for this recommendation.

Yeah, no, of course.

Although I might need a recommendation for a surgeon,

because I think he broke a bone in my face.

Yeah, look, I'm...

I'm really sorry he hit you.

Nah, nah, it's all good.

I've made it through way worse.

Damn, where you grow up?

But no, he's a scrappy dude though, I'll give him that.

Yeah, again, I'm... I'm really sorry about that.

Yeah.

It's just, you know...

As long as he never...

Never what?

You know, raises his hand at you.

sh*t...

He would never do that.

Okay, well good.

Yeah, 'cause I sh**t.

Hollow points.

Damn, where'd you grow up?

-Don't worry about all that. -All right.

This is...

Fatima.

Yes.

Paul told me that you were beautiful.

-[Fatima] Thank you. -It's true.

And thank you for seein' me, I appreciate it.

Sure.

I know that you are a busy man, I looked you up.

Well, Paul said this may be a bit of an emergency.

Oh. Did he?

Well, the thing is, I just said that...

If he had the time, then, you know,

the sooner the better.

Okay.

-Thank you. -Sure.

All right, well...

I'mma let you two get to it.

Oh, and...

This is my number.

I know you probably not gonna call, but...

I really would love to know how things are goin', you know?

How you're doin'.

Right.

That mean she ain't callin'.

No.

All right. Well...

I'mma get to it.

It was good seeing you, though.

-You, too. -[Paul] All right.

[office phone ringing]

[Fatima] Thank you.

All right.

He's a really good guy.

Yeah, he... He seems like it.

And he built my new house after my divorce.

Oh, you're-- you're divorced?

Yes.

But I know where that is going.

You're about to judge me because I'm a therapist,

and I couldn't make my marriage work.

Yeah, I was... kinda thinkin' that.

It's okay. The truth is...

I was doin' the work.

And that let me know that I was with the wrong person.

I've been happier ever since.

I got remarried...

And I've been doin' great.

Oh, well, that's good.

But we're not here to talk about poor ol' me.

How can I help you?

Well, um...

I was hoping that you could counsel my fiancé?

I saw all the workthat you've done with other black men,

and their testimonials,

and I was hopin' that maybe you could help him, too.

Now, is this just for him or you two as a couple?

Both, but I think if we help him,

we'll be fine.

Because you don't have any issues?

No, I mean...

I just feel like if we get him together, we'll be okay.

I see.

Can I, can I ask you what's that?

Most of the men that I talk to,

all of their women say that they are the problem.

But the truth is somewhere in the middle.

When a person is not whole,

they will choose a partner that will give them what they want

rather than what they need.

'Kay, and why is that?

Reasons vary.

Mainly childhood and parent-child relations.

Well, that makes sense.

He and his mother have some really bad issues.

I see.

Oh no, you don't have to write nothin' down about me.

Seriously, it's him, like...

Him and his mother have these deeply-rooted issues.

I can't even get through to him.

Like, I'm not even qualified.

How open is he to doin' somethin' like this?

Huh?

How open is he to therapy?

Not at all?

Zero percent...

Not even a little bit.

I mean, if I mention it to him, he be like,

"What the f*ck you talkin' about, Fatima?"

Just... I don't know what to do.

Well, I'm glad you came to see me.

He, he doesn't even think there's a problem.

Kinda like you?

I'm good.

I, I don't have a problem.

I'm tellin' you, Doc, it's all him.

It's all him?

[Fatima] Yes.

There you go again, what are you writin' down?

Just observations.

Okay.

I'm just writing down that I think I should talk to him.

Great!

And you, too.

Huh?

Why do you need to talk to me? I told you I'm good.

Great.

I, I, yeah.

-I'm good. -[Dr. Reid] Mm-hm.

I would just like to talk to you guys

to see how you guys communicate and talk to each other.

Well, honestly, Doc,

I really just think we should focus on Zac.

Well, how can I talk to him if he doesn't want to?

I am glad you asked that.

So, I was thinking, I have a friend.

And she's havin' some issues with her boyfriend.

The guy she's dating, well... Was dating.

But, um...

I was thinking maybe you could

come over to the house for dinner,

and talk to them and...

kinda talk to Zac at the same time?

Hm...

You don't like that idea.

I just prefer the upfront approach.

I get it, I get it.

But you obviously feel this way for a reason.

So...

I'll do it.

You will? Yes!

-I'll come to dinner. -[Fatima] Okay, great.

Do you think you could do this soon?

Absolutely.

[Fatima] Okay, good!

So I will try to get everybody together,

and get all the details, and I'll send it to you.

Okay.

Another question is how, how much is all this gonna cost?

Let's just get through dinner first,

and then we'll talk.

All right, thank you so much.

Of course.

-All right. -Talk to you soon.

Okay, yes you will. Thank you, Doc.

[music]

I'm so happy that you brought us this.

That's wonderful.

Hi!

Hi.

-[Valerie] How are you? -I'm well, how are you?

I am doing good.

You, you look well.

Oh, thank you, I receive that. You look well, too.

Thank you.

Hi, Zac.

Bryce.

Valerie was just showing me some houses.

Yeah, these are some really good deals.

Yeah, but, um...

-What? -[Bryce] I mean,

the market right now...

I was talkin' to Valerie.

Oh, yeah, um...

Please tell him about the deal.

Okay, so this developer is going to go bankrupt.

He's trying to get under this building,

it is % sold, but you need a stretch to get it.

Okay, what does that mean?

This is the big time, man. It's not houses, okay?

[Zac] All right.

Six million dollars.

I don't have six million dollars.

Yeah, yeah, but I was tellin' Valerie

we have two and a half, and I can put in one.

So if you can put in two, we, we can make it happen.

I don't have two million dollars.

This will double, I guarantee.

Triple guarantee.

[Bryce] It's a once in a lifetime deal.

Zac, you should really consider this.

I'll think about it?

Okay, but don't think too long.

I already have three groups that are looking into it.

Okay. All right, I got you. I got you.

[Valerie] Okay.

All right, well I will leave you two handsome gentlemen to it.

Yeah Valerie, thank you so much for bringing this to us.

-Absolutely, anytime. -[Bryce] I appreciate it.

It's so good seeing you again.

Same here!

All right, Zac.

[Zac] Take care, Val.

[Valerie] Thank you.

Um, do you wanna get a cup of coffee?

No.

I don't wanna get a cup of coffee.

Okay, man. Come on.

-[Zac] What? -How long are we gonna do this?

Okay, this, this is an incredible deal.

We need to put our issues behind us so we can do this.

I don't have any issues, Bryce, I just don't have the money.

and I don't like being pressured

into doing deals when I don't have the money.

Okay, but at least tell me

you're gonna think about it, Zac.

There's nothin' to think about.

I don't have the money!

Oh my gosh, man.

What, I don't know what you want me to do!

You're so thick.

Yo!

That is not what you need to be sayin' to me right now.

Thick-headed, Zac.

Yo!

Really?!

I'm gonna go.

So...

...you won't...

...mind if I take it to Gary?

No.

I don't.

You can take it to anybody you want to.

Just not me.

Okay.

I'm gonna call Gary, then.

Can I go?

Do you really not wanna be in business with me anymore?

Bryce...

If I'm bein' honest with you,

this is really not high on my list of priorities.

I've been dealin' with a lot, trust me.

A whole lot.

Not high on your list?

Okay, that's good to know.

That's, that's great. That's great, Zac.

Can I go to my office now?

Yeah, whatever. Yeah.

[Zac, muttering] Pressuring me into getting a property...

Oh my gosh.

[music]

All right, yes, I'm right on it.

Bye, thanks.

Hey!

-Hey! -Hi, girl.

So...

Okay, yes, I'll have dinner with Bryce.

And Zac?

Yeah, yeah. And, and Zac.

Okay.

Kinda haven't told him yet, but it's fine.

Okay?

Look, um...

I need a favor.

What is it?

Dr. Reid.

Oh, the guy that Paul...

[Fatima] Paul told me about, yeah.

Yeah, I saw what you sent me.

-Right? -Mm-hm.

So, um...

I wanna invite him over for dinner.

-sh*t! -[Fatima] What?

Tonight?

-You sure? -Yes.

Look, I...

I don't want Zac to know that I invited him, so...

could you possibly call him so that I'm not technically lying?

Right.

[Fatima] Could you?

-All right. -Okay, good, so...

All I need you to do is just call and ask him

to come to dinner to my house tonight, and, um...

he can talk to Bryce and Zac.

-Oh! -[Fatima] You like it.

That's a good idea.

Okay, all right, I'm down with that.

All right, so, now I just have to

get Zac down to the dinner table.

And that's it.

And you think you can do that?

I'll figure somethin' out.

You better. Go ahead.

-Thank you so much. -Bye.

I appreciate it! Bye!

Okay, got that.

[knocking on door]

Yo...

-[Zac]What are y'all doin' here? -What up, man?

Man, we wanted to come by and see your new spot again.

-Yeah, man. -The digs.

Why? It ain't nothin' much.

Well, it's better than I can say for some.

I mean, some people ain't got nowhere to stay.

Livin' on they homeboy couch,

funky-a*s drawers, funky-a*s socks.

Ain't got no place to call home.

You know what? Thank you, cue ball.

I wish I could just shake you up and see when I'm leavin'.

Are y'all goin' through somethin'?

Anyway, I wouldn't be in

this situation in the first place

if it weren't for somebody homegirl snitchin'.

Don't blame that on her.

Who am I supposed to blame?

-You! -[Tony] You!

You know you weren't supposed to have that girl

in my hot tub!

Come on, Nate.

I know that, man,

but look, why she have to do me like that?

Bro, I, if I told you once, I told you a million times.

Fatima is not with the bullshit, you just don't wanna listen!

That's for damn sure, bro.

You know she stays strapped, too.

sh*t, you lucky.

Nah, it's all good. I got it, I ain't stressin'.

Wait, what's that?

What? Nothin'.

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah! I know what that is.

No, no, he don't mean nothin' by it, bruh.

Tony, I've known him since we was kids.

Nate...

Whenever you get that look in your eye

like you on that revenge sh*t, you be f*ck' wildin'.

-I'm tellin' you right now... -Zac...

I'm not the one, and neither is she,

you better chill out.

Yo, yo, Zac, he ain't mean nothin' by it, bruh.

He just talkin', man. You know how he is.

Aight. Aight.

I don't understand somethin'.

Why you actin' like that with her?

-What do you mean? -[Nathan] No, no, no, no.

You still ain't gettin' no action, huh?

She still ain't givin' it to ya, huh?

-n*gga! -I, I didn't say anything, bruh.

-Jabber jaws. -Shut the hell up, mother--

-Jabber jaws. -Quit talkin'!

It came out by accident.

Yo, it's-- you know what? It's all good.

I'm gonna prove to you that profile is real.

Here he go again with the bullshit.

Nate, when are you gonna grow up, bro?

Look, look, look. Oh, look right now.

It says she's lookin' to have a good time.

And she's at work.

Guys, it's not her profile, bro.

-Bro, she's at work right now. -Uh-huh.

Yeah, she's at work!

Because you know what people with jobs do?

Go to work, Nate!

-Yup, yup. -You know what?

Oh, no, no.

But it also says she's into havin' car sex in public.

Wait a minute, that, that don't make any sense, bro.

Like, why would she do that at her job, though?

Exactly. She foul, man.

-I knew we couldn't trust her. -No, no, no, no.

Nate, you're not, you're not listenin' to me, bruh.

In the parking lot? That doesn't make sense.

All right, well, you know what?

I'mma hit her up, so don't worry.

Okay, do what you gotta do, bro.

[Nathan] You seem like you don't care, you know...

I don't care.

Nate, won't she recognize your profile picture?

This ain't even my real picture. You know who my wife is.

But you think it's Fatima's real pictures?

Listen to what you're sayin', Nate!

Come on, man. I'm tellin' you, it's her!

I actually got a good feeling about these things.

I trust my gut.

I got a hunch.

Okay...

You trust your gut?!

-Nah, bro. -You gotta be kidding me, bro!

I don't know about that.

-You got to be kidding me. -You know what, bro?

It's all good. Let me see...

I'm just tryin' to get work done.

[Nathan] I'mma message her and see.

All right, okay.

Ooh, wait, wait, wait.

I liked the picture.

She hearted it.

She's responding.

[Tony] Yo... [app chiming]

[Nathan] When... Oh, oh, okay, okay, here we go.

What she sayin'?

"When can you get here?"

"What time?"

[Tony] One hour.

One hour, be there or be square.

Whoa, whoa, what she sayin', bruh?

No man, she's messagin' me!

[phone dinging]

"South stairwell, :."

You know what?

-[Nathan] What, what's up? -I got a plan.

-Oh... -Okay.

-I like you thinkin'. -What you thinkin' bruh?

I'm right here with you. I'm here.

Y'all two go there, get your f*ck' feelings hurt.

Because I got work to do,

and I'm not playin' with you two clowns!

Come on, man! I'm tellin' you!

Nate, you gotta grow up, bro! That's not her profile!

Bro, I'm tellin' you, it's her, man.

I got a good feelin' about this. You know what?

If you not gonna go, I'm gonna go.

Okay, I'm gonna get to the bottom of this.

Fine, leave.

You know what? I got your back.

You know I love you for this, so I got you.

Whoa, whoa, hold on. Nate, Nate, get back over here.

Who was that?

Y'all worse than my girl. Back up!

Lookin' at my thing...

It was her.

Oh!

What did she say?

She said she gonna be an hour late home from work.

Don't get all excited!

-Relax! -I told you!

No! Just chill!

-We can't trust her. -[Zac] It's, no...

It's a coincidence.

-That's not no coincidence. -Hell no, hell no!

That damn sure ain't... Look, look, look, look.

Okay look, here's what we'll do. I'mma go with Nate.

'Cause he needs a chaperone before he do somethin' stupid.

Right? And you should come, too.

I'm not goin' with y'all two fools.

First of all, if I go, she gon' see me.

I'm not goin'.

Okay, but since I know it's not her,

y'all two go cover the perimeter,

and when this old, fat, white guy comes out

and he tries to f*ck you,

make sure you video tape it so I can see it.

M'kay?

That was uncalled for. That's not...

Go ahead, go ahead!

-That's not funny, man. -[Zac] Go ahead, go ahead.

I'm gonna make sure I get to the bottom of this.

You're gonna thank me later.

Yeah, I'll thank you, all right.

Look, I'm not sayin' that I believe him...

But I gotta watch over him, all right?

All right. Just be careful.

Don't get catfished.

That's not funny.

Catfished!

[Tony] I'm gonna find out!

I'm f*ck' going. Oh, sh*t...
