03x23 - Ex Con-Versations

[bunniefuu]

RACHEL: Dougie, babe!

- Hey, baby!
- Ooh!

This is something that I've been
waiting for my whole life.

DOUG: What's up, son?

I don't know about those girls
you're talking to on TikTok.

I'm not like you.
I only have one girlfriend.

How much money
have you spent on him?

Somewhere around 30,000.

Rachel is who I'm going to be with
for the rest of my life.

Hey!

Right now, I haven't even told
my family that Ray is out.

You're not hiding me?

- I'm not hiding you.
- You sure?

I'm kind of stunned your people
don't even know him.

You don't want them to know

cos you ain't really feeling
that good about him.

I immediately have to get a car.

She makes nothing but demands.

Well, I tell you what, then. Go!

What do I ask from her? Nothing.
Here's her BLEEP.

All because I wouldn't
jump in his bed?

I miss you.
Telling you how my heart feels.

You know,
there's a spot there for you.

I'll move past it, forgive him,

and give him another chance -
but on my terms.

Were you guys going to
get married before?

There's been two times
that he hasn't shown up.

I've waited 11 years to marry Jeff.

Mm!

When I got to the halfway house,

I get a message
from my ex-girlfriend.

She's about 100% positive
I got an 18-year-old son by her.

If Jeff doesn't tell Anissa
his secret,

I'm gonna have to do it myself.

No sex until I get my boobs done.

- Please.
- How long since you had sex?

About a week ago.
SHE GASPS

In prison,
I started dating this girl Tia.

How are you feeling about Daonte?

I just can't help
but think about my ex Zakk

that I was with
before I got locked up.

I'm hoping this ain't
what I think it is.

So that's why you won't give me
no BLEEP, cos you with this BLEEP.

BLEEP you! All this BLEEP.

WATER RUNNING

WATER STOPS

Last night, Nicolle shattered
my heart into a thousand pieces.

I was already damaged,

and she just took it
and damaged it some more.

I feel so betrayed.

I let my entire guard down
for this woman.

I didn't see 'em doing nothing.

I can't prove that
they were gonna do anything.

But come on. Like...

I had no knowledge she...

she was even still interacting
with this dude.

I don't know much about him,

but he's plastered
all over her Instagram

from when they were together
before she went in.

So I think that's her ex-boyfriend.

Who knows how long Nicolle
been talking to that dude?

I had to straight delete
everything from all of my exes

because she said,
"An ex is an ex for a reason."

That was her...
That was her words to me.

So then why are you
still communicating with your exes?

I deserve better than to be treated

like some second-rate scrub
all the time

that's only good for buying
you stuff and giving you money.

DERRICK: Yo!
DAONTE: What up, bruh?

DERRICK: What's good?

I've had better days.
- Now, what...

What you mean you had better days?
Look at you, man.

What you... What's wrong?
What happened?

So...

I don't even know
how to explain it, man. I...

Well, BLEEP, get that BLEEP out.
Let's go.

You know I was with Nicolle
last night.

Yeah.

I really wanted her to stay,

but, obviously,
she ain't ready to stay yet.

So I take her home.

I'm on my way home,

something just spoke to me
in my head,

and it was like,
"Turn your a*s around."

Man, it wasn't no later
than five minutes after I sat there,

I seen this car pulling up.

I speed my a*s over there.

"What's up, Nicolle?"
She gets in the car anyways.

She gets in the car with who?

Her ex.

And, bruh, I went off.

- Have you heard from her?
- No.

I know what you're gonna say.
But, look, man...

BLEEP that b*tch! You right!

DERRICK:
'Obviously, she's been lying.'

I know she's a hoe.
He knows she's a hoe.

She knows she's a hoe.

Everyone knows she's a hoe.

So now he just need to
kick her a*s to the curb.

But he probably won't.

Man, so what...
what are we doing about her?

- I got to talk to her first.
- Talk to her about what?!

Before you get your...
sink your teeth into her.

I didn't see...
- When?

When do I get to
sink my BLEEP teeth into her?

I can't wait to cuss this BLEEP out.
You've done everything for her.

And then some. BLEEP. Let's go.

DAONTE GRUNTS
One, two...

Come on. Lift this BLEEP.

Get this BLEEP up.

My biggest fear is you
just gonna BLEEP forgive her.

Just... I know I need answers.

How you know she ain't gonna lie?
PHONE RINGS

Hold on. I got to take this, bruh.
HE GROANS

Who is it?

I'll be right back. Hello?

I'm at the gym, man. What's up?

What you need to talk about?
DERRICK: Daonte!

Can we talk soon?
I mean, can we see each other?

- Ugh.
- Yeah. Can we meet up tonight?

All right, yeah, fine.
Let's do tomorrow.

OK, I'll see you tomorrow.

All right, bye.
We'll talk tomorrow.

DERRICK:
What is there to talk about?

I don't know, man.
I just... I...

It's hard for me
to just give up on her.

You know that.
- Why?!

She giving the cookie
to somebody else.

Don't say that.

That's not what that was?

I can't help it that I love her,
bruh.

Like, I can't.
- I can't help that you a dumbass.

I don't mind second chances.

I just don't do third
and fourth chances.

Maybe she felt like,

"I still got feelings for this dude,
and I want some closure."

I ain't ready for it to be over.

But, first and foremost,
I need to know

that it ain't happening ever again.

Daonte has no idea
what I'm doing tonight,

and I plan on keeping it that way.

Yeah, he'd be pissed.

OVEN BEEPS

Morning, Dougie.

You gonna share some bacon with me,
or you gonna eat it all?

Don't eat it all
before I'm done with eggs.

The longest I've been out of prison

since I've been incarcerated
was 40 days.

Today's day 37 for me.

My family is my motivation
to stay out of trouble.

Thanks for saving me some bacon.

Mm-hm.

Every day, me and Dougie learn more
and more about each other.

He's clear with what he expects
out of me being home.

It's all right. I don't need bacon.

- You still ate some so...
- I ate some.

You ate more than I did.
- ..you're as guilty as I am.

DOUG: 'But we're... we're building
a pretty strong bond.'

I'm making steps
in the right direction

to make sure I earn his trust.

Mike's picking me up today.

- Is he?
- Yeah, I got things I got to do.

RACHEL:
You guys gonna do a little..

Probably gonna go to a strip club.
- ..guys' day?

Yeah. Might find us a girlfriend
to bring home.

That's fine. We have an extra room.

Ever since the big argument

between Doug
and his oldest sister, Crystal,

it was awkward for me
because his sister said,

"My brother's a dog and a user,

"and he will cheat on you
within a month."

Gonna get you a man bun.

Why not?

I'm gonna get ready for work.

Right now, I'm just...

I guess, hoping and praying
that the things

that I'm being told
by his family isn't true.

ENGINE RUMBLING

DOOR BEEPS

- Hey, guys.
- Hey. How you doing?

How can we help you?

I'm looking, uh,
to buy my wife a wedding ring.

- Just an upgrade?
- We got married in prison,

so we're gonna do something
more formal.

Cool.

Hey, man, so, how you gonna afford
this ring, bro?

My BLEEP new job.

I recently just got a job
at a CNC shop.

I just catch parts
coming off of a conveyor belt

and load them for shipping
for the trucks to come get them.

It's 95 to 100 degrees in there,
and it's miserable.

This would be
about a carat and a half.

I have a bit of income coming in,

but I had to call in for some help
from a few of my friends.

Mike, what do you think
looks good?

I think the... the square one.

DOUG:
I wanna propose to Rachel again,

and I do plan on giving Rachel
a wedding of her dreams

because when we got married,
it was just her and I.

Yeah, I mean, I've never made
no purchase like this.

I don't think nobody in my family
has ever been to a jeweller

to buy a wedding ring.

Don't forget
where you came from, BLEEP.

I forgot.
I'm living in the suburbs.

Does anybody...
Does anybody think this is a joke?

No, but they think
you might BLEEP up.

I wanna say, yeah,
I have faith in him to do better,

but I've never much seen
Junior just stick with one girl,

so...

I got you a really,
really nice stone.

How much is it?

- $5,500.
MIKE: You think it's worth it?

This is some good money, man,
I mean, that you're gonna spend.

MIKE: So you better be sure.

My brother Mike here, he's got me,
uh... got me thinking now.

- A nice car right here, boy.
STAN: That's expensive.

If I put this payment down, does
that mean our next step is marriage?

LISA: 'I might not have
been genuinely honest with him.'

I don't reveal everything to him.

ANISSA: While I'm at work,
he wasted thousands of dollars.

Has Anissa said anything about,

"You're gonna have to
slow down, Jeff"?

That's not a best-friend issue.
'Kyle has no business.'

I'ma whoop his BLEEP a*s.

I came thinking I was ready to
just move in on Daonte.

I feel like I need clarity
before I can give my all to him.

I don't even know how to make eggs,

but I can make fruit and bread,
and toast.

How you doing, beautiful?

- Well, I'm doing, you know?
- Yeah?

- Breakfast in bed?
- Just for you, my sweet.

Uh, we were out of bacon
and eggs, so...

Oh, right.

LISA: Last night,
I kind of wore myself out.

It was some strenuous activity.

STAN: Feeling good?

Well, yeah.
How's your a*s feeling?

HE CHUCKLES

The chemistry, uh, it...
it just happens.

I mean, so when I'm down there
in the basement

putting him in the straitjacket,
it just all comes alive.

But not a lot of people
like kicking in back doors

or, you know, uh,
milking a prostate.

But I'm about that life.

It was nice to see you
took the initiative

to, you know,
make me breakfast in bed.

I'm glad...
glad to have you back, hon.

Yeah.
- Well, it's good to be back.

- Good. I'm so happy to hear that.
- Beats motels.

Beats hotels.

Give me a hug.

Sex with Lisa
is really, really amazing.

'She's just a, really, knockout.

'One to ten, she's a ten.'

And she's not afraid
to do what she wants to do

when it comes to intimacy.

So, what are we gonna do today?
We going car shopping?

Well, we got to get you
a licence still.

Well, it doesn't take
but a second to get a licence.

Oh, OK. We got to find out
what your insurance would cost, too.

We got to pay sales tax.

Who does?

You do.

- Oh.
- You're the one buying it.

What you think I'm gonna
pay for it with, my looks?

No.

I got to have a way
to get around, right?

Yeah.

I wish we were more certain
about the future.

What does that mean?

Well, this isn't the first time
I've bought a car for someone.

I did buy a car for another gal,
and we dated a while.

Well, how long did it last
after you bought her a car?

She left me right away.

You know, she wanted the car.

I don't think you're gonna
get the car and leave, are you?

Well, yeah. I got to go leave
and go to the store and stuff.

Well, I mean...
You know what I mean.

Right now, I feel like
we just take it one day at a time

and try to figure it out.

See, the only...
the only thing I need to...

to mention is that, um,
with that type of uncertainty,

it's difficult to come up with
thousands of dollars for a car.

- What... Do...?
- You know?

What are you asking from me?

Because I'm not sure
what you're asking at this point.

Like, marriage?
I mean, that's a pretty...

That's a pretty big ordeal.

Obviously, I'm...
I'm married to... to two guys.

I-I don't even know
how it happened, but...

So I, obviously,
have to deal with that first.

What do you see?
What do you want out of this?

Just be with you,

like I've talked about when
you were in prison all the time.

I mean, I see us probably being
together for a... you know,

a long time, if... if everything
keeps going like it's going.

He wants to just jump
to like it's six months ahead

and wants me to reassure him
and let him know, you know,

that we're gonna be together
and this is what it's gonna be.

'But, for me, it's...
it's one day at a time.'

Sometimes,
one minute at a time with him,

because we've all seen
how expl*sive me and him are.

We both talked about,
you know, promises

and what was gonna happen
and how it was gonna happen.

We talked about opening
a checking account.

We talked about a vehicle.

And so I feel like
if we go forward,

and all the things happen
that are supposed to happen

that was promised,
then anything's possible.

Hmm.

Jeff, you have more packages
out on the front porch.

What are they?
- Some Gucci pants.

Better not have bought
no Gucci pants.

I bet y'all do get me Gucci pants.

Do you think you can fly it,

since it's so different
than the other two you had?

It might take me a minute,
but I'll figure it out. Yeah.

Ah!

I've been out of the halfway house
for a few weeks now,

and I've recently made the discovery
about online shopping.

It just is... It's awesome.

You can order something,

and it'll come right to your door
in one day.

'The reason I bought a drone

'is because I can't leave
this property.'

So with the drone,
I can travel out,

I can... I can go and see places

that I ain't never seen before
in my life.

ANISSA: I hope you enjoy it.

This is two full days
of work for me.

I'm gonna enjoy it, baby.
Thank you.

While I'm at work, you know,
doing what I have to do

to make us to be able to survive
and pay the rent,

he's buying anything
and everything he can think of,

like drones and, um, playing poker.

He wasted thousands of dollars
with my credit card.

There's them birds.

Every time I fly up there,
they come out, and I chase them.

It... It... It is beginning to
get to be a little bit tedious.

HE LAUGHS

Oh, my God.
Is this your new toy?

JEFF: Yeah.

Has it got a camera on it
or anything?

- Yeah.
ANISSA: You want some tea, Kyle?

KYLE: Yeah, please.

How much was that thing?

I don't know.

KYLE: Too much.
- Too much.

All these packages and him
wanting this and wanting that,

I understand you've been locked up
for a while,

there might be a few things
you're excited about,

but it's just gone
a little overboard

by seeing what I've seen today.

I saw all them boxes. I mean...

has Anissa said anything
money-wise about,

"You're gonna have
to slow down, Jeff,"

or anything to that extent?
You know what I mean?

The last time I talked to her,
she said something about,

you know, low on money
or something or...

I-I ain't trying to be nosy,
I just, you know...

- It sure does sound like it, son.
- I know, man. I just...

You know how I feel about Anissa...

How many times
you gon' tell me that?

Don't need you to tell me
every time you come over here.

I know.

Kyle has no business whatsoever
sharing his opinion with me

about anything to do with my woman,
her money,

what I spend, or anything else
that I do with her.

And I'm gonna put a stop to it.

When it comes to how I treat Anissa
or money or anything like that,

that's not a best-friend issue,
that's a husband-and-wife issue.

Like you said,
when y'all first started writing

or talking,
when you were in jail, prison,

you know, you were talking to her
to get what you wanted.

That's stuck in my head, Jeff.

That's the reason
I ask the questions I do.

You know, I mean, I've just
been there by Anissa's side

when you've hurt her like
I've never seen her hurt before.

May have been one of the times
you got out,

and you didn't come,
you went somewhere else.

Dude, I mean, she wouldn't
come out of her bedroom.

I care about her a lot, brother.

Have you came clean with Anissa?

No. I figured I'd do it
on my time, you know?

I just don't want you coming in here
trying to tell me

how to live my life and ruin
my relationship with my woman.

I just don't need you
meddling in my relationship.

It's heart-wrenching to have...
to have watched, you know,

the roller-coaster of emotions
that Jeff has put her through.

'Anissa deserves somebody
that's gonna treat her right.'

And Jeff is keeping a secret
from Anissa

that there's just no need
in keeping.

DOOR OPENS

Jeff's almost rubbing me
the wrong way out there.

Why?

Asked my opinion on
when he should tell you something.

I said,
"Well, the sooner the better."

To me, it's not a big deal. And
to you, I don't think it would be.

But for him to keep putting it off
and to keep secrets,

like, you don't build relationships
on secrets.

That's like lying, to me.

You know what I mean?
- It is.

What is it?
Just tell me what it is.

He may have an 18-year-old kid.

So, if that's the case, that
would be something that happened

before y'all got together, correct?
- Exactly. Yeah.

So why the BLEEP
is he holding it from you?

Like, to me, that makes me think
there's more to it.

Exactly.

Like, it makes me wonder
if that's the real age or something,

cos why... why would he be
so scared to tell you?

Why would he keep it from me?
I don't understand.

He's known since the halfway house.

I mean, and what am I...
I'm supposed to not say nothing now?

I don't care if you do or you don't.
I mean...

I need to process all this,
but I don't know what I'm gonna do.

'The first two times that
Jeffrey got released from prison,

'he ghosted me.'

So if Jeff is lying to me
about having a child,

he's probably lying to me
about all sorts of things.

I just need time to think.

Oh!

- Is your family coming?
- They're actually not gonna come.

I didn't wanna overwhelm Ray
with so many people.

KNOCK ON DOOR

- Where are we going?
- It's a surprise.

Just go.
- Are we having bathroom sex?

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

Are your parents on the way?

Yeah, they on their way.
I just talked to them.

BRITNEY: I got you something.

This is your new life.

"My new life. Chapter 1."
- Yeah.

'I love having Ray
live in my home with me.'

Just being around each other
and learning how we are,

like, how we move, what we do.

Wait till they come in
to go outside with the food?

- Yeah. They pretty close?
- Yeah.

They about to pull up
in a few seconds.

I'm a little nervous, you know.

Are they gonna, like,
ask a lot of questions?

They might ask you
a lot of questions just to,

you know, see how you feel about
this relationship.

Well, I'm excited they're coming.

I hope they like chicken wings
like you do.

So, when you think your family
gonna come over and see me?

Soon.

I don't know why
she haven't told her parents

I'm gonna be living with her,

I don't know
if she's trying to hide me.

'My family known
since I was in prison

'that I had plans on
staying with Britney.'

It's kind of stressful
and confusing why...

why she haven't said anything.

KNOCK ON DOOR

- Hi, baby!
- Hello.

- Yay!
- Glad y'all made it.

- Yes!
- Glad y'all could come.

You all right?

- Come on in. Come on in.
- Yes.

- Hi!
- Hi!

- What's going on, Sterling?
- Nothing much, bro.

I know that I hurt
a lot of family members

by going to prison,

so to actually see them
still here with me means a lot...

'Joy, happiness,
just seeing my family

'and just being out of prison.'

Y'all can get y'all a plate
or sit at the table.

- Britney, the house is beautiful.
- Oh, thanks.

- I'd love to see the rest of it.
- Yeah, I can show you around.

Raymond, I know it's a lot different
than you being in prison,

the whole... this atmosphere
and, you know.

Yeah, it really... it really is,
having it all to yourself.

You don't got to worry about
no cellies,

waiting in the shower,
none of that.

So, bro, what's the next move?

Yeah.

Soon as I'm able to get a job,

I'm going back to work
and have a family,

have some kids and stuff.

If y'all were to get engaged,
would it be a long engagement,

short engagement?

I don't think it needs
to be that long.

I mean, we did all this.
- What's "that long"?

- More than a year.
- A year is long?

- Yeah.
- OK.

So, is your family coming today?

Um, today,
they're actually not gonna come.

- Aw.
- I know.

I didn't wanna overwhelm Ray with
just, you know, so many people.

I haven't told Ray that my family
has not committed

to being on board
with my relationship.

'My mom is refusing to meet him.'

Ray's been through enough,

and I just don't want
people judging him.

So, her family haven't met you yet?

- No, not at all.
- Oh, OK.

So, you got a plan for when you
gonna let him meet your side?

Yeah, we think soon.

Yeah, we didn't have,
like, the exact date.

DEMETRIA:
It gonna feel like you're on trial.

Yeah.

I mean, I'm not gonna lie.
They're gonna have questions.

Yeah.

They don't know him,
but I know my son.

'He come from a good foundation.'

It would be really bad if Britney
wouldn't give him a chance

to show who he really is.

She says she didn't wanna
overwhelm you or something

with having everybody at once,

but I wanna meet them.

Let them see
the kind of foundation you got,

we well-established.

Maybe because
they don't know you yet.

RAY: I think that's the thing.

All you can do is prove them wrong.

Yeah.

You know, how I was brought up,

you had that respect
for the parents.

Without the parents' blessing,

it's like you really can't have
a stable relationship.

I'm just hoping to be a part
of Britney's family,

to be considered their son-in-law.

- This is the room.
- This is your bedroom?

The master bedroom?
- Yes.

- It's very open and cosy.
- Yeah. I like the openness.

- I love the bed and everything.
- Yeah. Thank you.

I really thought our upbringing

and background
was so much different,

but I feel, like,
at home with y'all.

I feel like this is with my family.
- You should. So...

He has a very devoted family.

I mean, we all love him. I mean...
- Yeah, you guys just adore him.

That's really refreshing.

Because just thinking, you know,
I don't want him to stray.

And then I also don't wanna be
"mother-y" to him, you know?

- You taking everything baby steps?
- I am. That's how I feel.

That's why my...
my family's not here today.

I just feel like
everything needs to be...

one thing at a time.
- Yeah.

He's like,
"Why's your family not coming?"

To be honest, baby,
that would have been better.

Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah.

Right now, I feel a lot of pressure

to bring my family
into the situation.

But with that ankle monitor on him,
I feel like if they came over now,

they would just be staring at that,
not even him.

RAY: Maybe next time,
y'all will get to meet

her side of the family
and everything.

- Yeah.
- Oh!

- Oh, yeah!
- Yeah.

It'll be so much fun.
- Yes.

I just wish
that Ray would understand

if he just does it my way,
and he's patient,

and he actually listens
to me about this,

it will be better.

- All right, y'all drive safe.
- Bye-bye.

Thank you.
- OK.

PHONE RINGS

RACHEL: 'Hello?'

Where you at, baby?

'I'm on my way right now.
I just...

'I was running a little bit late.
I was having lunch with Mom.'

All right, well,
I'm out front waiting on you.

CAR DOOR BEEPING

RACHEL: Hi, babe.

- I've been waiting.
- Sorry.

Where are we going?
- It's a surprise.

Just go. Just drive.

'My relationship history,
never been married.'

I've been engaged, um, in the past

to women that I probably
weren't never going to marry.

I mean,
it was something as simple as,

"You're gonna be my husband."
"OK."

So have I proposed and, like,
took it that far with nobody?

I'd be married if I did.

What could you possibly show me,

a Detroit native,
on 8 Mile Road?

Don't worry about it.

It's a surprise.
If you can just chill before you...

You're good at ruining them.
- I'm not good at surprises.

You're good at ruining them,
having to know so much.

Keep your eyes on the road.
Don't look at me.

HE IMITATES
TURN SIGNAL

Oh!

The love I have for Rachel is...

is never-ending
and unconditional.

Like, I tell her all the time...

We fight and bicker,
and we disagree.

And she tells me, like, "You're just
gonna leave me eventually."

I told her, I said,

"There is no running me off
or wearing me thin,"

cos I'd rather be with her
and be angry at her

than be without her
and angry at myself.

Nosy as hell for being so little.

Are you taking me to the bathroom?
Are we having bathroom sex?

Crime victim?
I've never been a victim of crime.

Have you?

But, honey...
- Hmm?

..I brought you here today...

You know that I love you.
- We're eye level?

We're eye level.

You wanna ruin this moment?
- No.

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

And I appreciate
everything you do for me.

I appreciate everything
you've done for Dougie.

You mean more to me than anything

that's ever meant to me,
even myself.

That's hard.
- Wow!

I went and got you something...

..because I wanna do this
the right way.

To make sure you made
the right decision the first time,

I wanna know
if you will remarry me.

Absolutely.

- I love you, baby.
- I love you.

This has been
a long journey for me.

You're coming home with me,
that's what you're doing.

- I'm glad you're home.
- I'm glad you're happy, man.

He's a dog. Junior's a dog.

DOUG: Shut up!

- You gonna stay out this time?
- Maybe not.

If somebody pisses me off,
I might go back!

I have it all in my hands here...
the wife, the kid,

the truck, the job,
the house, the dog.

'I can't believe it.'

I love you, honey.

RACHEL: I love you, too.
It's beautiful.

What do you think your family
is gonna say?

They're gonna be super surprised
and probably ask if it's stolen.

Don't get offended.
HE CHUCKLES

Let's go show it off.

Doug proposing to me again
in the free world

tells me that he's serious about us,

like, he wants to do things right.

Like, I trust him,
and I trust him even more

because that's something
he didn't have to do,

considering
that we're already married.

Being with Doug is probably

the happiest relationship
I've ever been in.

I don't think I've ever been...
I know I've never been this happy.

Like, everything just
feels right for once.

Social media.

Stop looking at my phone,
you little nosy b*stard.

Why? I thought we had an open...

open communication policy.

What?

Oh, boy.

Hey! I'm a little nervous.

My stomach
is full of butterflies.

SHE CHUCKLES

- They've got some vans.
- No.

That's a nice car, boy.
- If I put this payment down,

does that mean
our next step is marriage?

Man, for me, the hardest thing
about being in prison

was not having,
like, all the luxuries

I'm so used to having.

You know, cos I'm a little bougie,
my materialistic stuff, you know?

Like, I missed having nails
and doing my hair

and, you know, even, like,
washing my a*s with good soap.

'Me and prison just...
We did not get along good.

'Like, I will never go back there.'

They're gonna have to sh**t me
before they take me back to prison.

But it's hard to stay
on a straight path.

Life is just so fun when you're...

when you're partying
with your friends,

going out and dancing all...
every night, all night till 6am,

get two hours of sleep,
get up and do it again.

Um, I don't know.
It's just so fun to be bad.

I like to be bad,
and I like bad boys.

And they like me back, too.

Bad girls, too. BLEEP.

- That was so much fun.
- Hm.

Well, you already know
I love your mom and your dad.

Sad to say I don't feel
the same way about your family

cos I haven't met them yet.

Like, are you ashamed of me?
What is it?

I'm not ashamed. I'm not.

I dropped a lot of bombs
on my parents.

Like, first, I told them
that you're in prison.

Then I tell them
you're going to a halfway house.

I'll have to tell them
you're on home confinement,

and you're here.
It has nothing to do with you.

It was just a big day for us.

It is a big day.

And we're gonna have another big day
when we talk to my family.

I feel like my father helped
clarify the situation at hand

with me meeting her parents.

He feel where I'm coming from.

I'm not something that you cover up,
especially as your man.

If you are serious
about me being here

and me being
in this relationship with you,

you can call your family
and tell them

that I'm home right now,
you know, and we can go from there.

Called my people.
I showed you that I'm serious.

I think I deserve the same thing.

So you're saying call them now
or I'm not serious?

Yeah.

OK, well, I will take care of that.

I'll call my dad.

We'll see how that goes.

I do feel stressed having
either my family be upset with me

or Ray be upset with me.

I don't feel like
either will go away.

'But I can't keep pushing
this off with Ray.'

My mom's expressed that
she does not wanna meet Ray,

so I hope my dad will support me.

I have a really great relationship
with my dad,

but the one fear I do have
is disappointing him.

And I feel like he won't be at peace

to know there's a man here
wearing an ankle monitor

while I work two jobs,
and he does nothing.

RINGING TONE

ROLAND: 'Hey, Brit.'
- Hey, Daddy.

I was just calling
to check in with you.

How are you all holding up?

It's been a while.

Um, I was just trying to see

if you could make some time
tomorrow.

I just wanted to meet up with you,
have a conversation,

give you some updates,
and kind of run some things by you.

'I am terrified that
this could go completely wrong.'

The most part that I'm scared about
is that they make him feel

that he's not worthy enough,

because I feel that Ray would
let that put a rift between us.

You could just come over tomorrow.

Ray will actually believe like,
"I'm not enough for her."

- All right. I love you.
- 'All right.'

OK. Bye-bye.

It's hot in here, boy.

I definitely feel like...

my sex with Zakk did not have
as much meaning behind it.

It was good seeing you.
ZAKK: It was good seeing you.

Like, it wasn't bad,
but for my first sex in four years,

it wasn't
what I was expecting at all.

Ooh, I do look good, though.

So I'm hoping that Daonte will be
willing to work things out.

Hey!

But I can't see him tonight

because I'm actually going to
meet up with Tia.

I feel like I need the clarity
before I can give my all to him.

I'm a little nervous.

When I was in prison...

I fell in love with the girl.
I really did.

And, you know,
she was the one that got away.

I'm gonna put some lip gloss on.

Tia and I have never seen
each other outside of prison.

You have a good night.
DRIVER: You too, thank you.

'She lives in North Carolina
with her family,

'but she decided to come visit me.'

'My stomach is just
full of butterflies.'

How do I get out of here? Oh.

TIA LAUGHS
I don't know how.

- What are you doing?
- Hey!

- You look good. Give me a hug.
- You look good.

- You're taller than me.
- I know!

I got heels on. You're so short.

Oh, my gosh. You smell good.

What you want to drink?
How's your mom?

I've been drinking a lot
of Long Islands. She's good.

I told her
I was going out with you.

What did she say?

She said, "Do you think
that's a good idea, Nicolle?"

- Why?
- That's what she said.

I mean, I tell my mom everything.

My mom hates Tia.
SHE LAUGHS

Cheers to us. How about that?

'She is so BLEEP feisty.'

And she has, like,
an attitude problem, just like me.

' like, in prison,
we got into a fight.'

After I broke up with her,
this b*tch spit in my BLEEP face.

She tried to turn to walk away
after she spit,

and I BLEEP grabbed her
by the collar

and spit back in her face.

I never really, like, you know,
told you that I'm sorry.

You know I'm possessive.
- Yeah.

I accept it.
- I like you cos you're so chill.

I still... That's one of, really,
the main things I like about you.

- You gon' give me a kiss?
- No.

Oh! I'm leaving!

- I'm just like...
- You give me a kiss.

TIA LAUGHS

This girl smells so good.

I haven't, like, been sexual

with one person
since I've been home.

Just wanna get my life together,
stay clean.

Do you wanna cheers...
- Cheers to that.

Like, straight up.
- I'll say cheers to that.

- That's some grown BLEEP. Yes.
- Seriously.

Chemistry between us
is definitely still there.

I'm glad, you know, we got
the chance to see each other again.

We're vibing, like, real strong.

You know how many people
would like to be sitting here?

- Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah.

What you gonna do tonight?

I'm trying to go back to your room.

'In prison, we're not
allowed to touch, you know?'

All that BLEEP ill*gal.

'And it's, like...
It's very stressful.'

Thank you.
- Yeah.

We used to put covers
over the windows on our door

to, like, change and stuff.

So we would also do that
if we were BLEEP,

cos the officers do rounds,
like, every 30 minutes.

They normally have someone
hang out in the day room,

and they'll yell "12"
when the police come in.

So you really...
Like, while you're BLEEP,

you have to pay attention
to hear the door

or someone yell "12,"
which is, like, so BLEEP irritating,

cos you'd be, like, almost there,
and it's like, "12."

And you're like, "BLEEP man."

Get the BLEEP down.
TIA LAUGHS

You all right?

Kissing Tia feels kind of like
we're picking up where we left off.

NICOLLE SQUEALS,
CHUCKLES

I feel a little bad,

but I'm trying to, like,
focus on the now.

Go put the "do not disturb" sign up.

TIA: BLEEP. Put it up.

I guess I'll have to deal
with the consequences.

Good night. See you later. Bye.

Y'all got to get the BLEEP
out of here.

Good night. Bye.

LOCK CLICKS

If I put this down payment down,

does that means our next step
is marriage?

Stan... I might not have been
genuinely honest with him.

LISA: So, you're excited
to spend some money?

I'm excited to see you happy, baby.
How about a kiss right here?

No, you're driving.
You're already swerving.

HE LAUGHS
God.

Gonna look at these cars,
and we may spend...

$3,000, $4,000, $5,000,
maybe nothing.

Oh, we're gonna spend something.

STAN: I promised Lisa a car
when she was in prison.

I'm trying to make good on
every single promise I've made.

'And I want it to be a nice car.'

I mean, I don't want
my girlfriend driving around

in a piece of junk.

They've got vans. You like vans?
- No.

- No?
- No.

That's a nice car right here, boy.

Yeah, that's... that's expensive.

So, after our first fight, um,

the first... my first day out,
yeah, so the game changed,

and now he's gonna have to
put in some action steps

and show true care and concern.

So, yeah, now I'm gonna
make him follow through

on what he was willing to do
in the first place.

- Is this for you?
- It's for her.

- Is... Now, are you dad?
- I'm her boyfriend.

You're the boy... OK. Gotcha.

All right, my bad.
My bad. That's good.

Did you wanna take this one
for a ride?

Um, yeah, he... I'll...
He'll drive me around in it.

So I still have to get my licence,

but I just...
he just paid off $3,200 in tickets

so I can do that, so...

I might move in with you.
THEY LAUGH

The first time that I got
in trouble with the law, I was 26.

I went to a car lot
and test-drove a car,

and I drove it home to Illinois.

This thing goes
up to 140 miles an hour, too.

- Yeah, but you're not gonna go 140.
- No, I'm not.

Now you sound like my dad.

That was my first five years I got.

- You wanna do it?
- Yeah. It's an awesome car.

- Awesome. Congratulations.
- Yeah.

- All right.
- Yes.

LISA:
Let's go figure the numbers out.

Do you have a payment range that
you're kind of hoping to get to?

Um, I don't know.
We would have to sit down

and just BLEEP figure it all out.
- Right.

I'll obtain employment, you know,
and... and try to go from there.

But as for now, he's just gonna

give me some money
on a down payment, and...

What down payment
are you working with?

- Looking at about $4,000 or $5,000.
- OK.

The total cost of the car
is, like, $12,500, I believe.

I'd like it to be strictly
in her name

and for her to make the payments

because that will build
her credit back up.

I want her to know
that the car is hers.

It's a gift to her.

So if I put this down payment down,

does that mean
our next step is marriage?

Well, I mean, it's...

it would take a pretty big rock
for me to say yeah.

I'll just go mine for one.

HE CHUCKLES

Yeah. Yeah.

Uh, at this point, Stan...

I might not have been
genuinely honest with him.

We really need to get ourselves
a flat-fee attorney

and get these divorces rolling.

TEXT ALERT WHOOSHES
Yeah.

Next project maybe.

We have project
after project here.

TEXT ALERT WHOOSHES

LISA: Yeah. Well, you know,
I'm full of them.

STAN: Nobody can deny that.

LISA: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

'So, I don't reveal everything
to him in this relationship.'

I reveal them
as I feel the need for it.

- What about being engaged?
- Maybe two or three years.

LISA: I have no idea what
this stuff costs. 22-karat gold.

Would I date Stan
if he didn't have money?

Is this really what you want?
Stan's a piece of BLEEP.

I'm ready to confront him.

This little piece of BLEEP?

I'm done. BLEEP.
It's going in the BLEEP garbage.

Two nights with two exes?

Did you have sex
with either one of them?

You went and told Anissa
about the BLEEP baby.

- Is your whooper broke, BLEEP?
- No.
