03x13 - Life Goes On

[bunniefuu]

-Do you have a second?
-I am sure this is about Zac.

His brother,
Zac k*lled him.

[Zac] Previously onZatima...

Did you tell Zac
where Jeremiah was?

-Yeah, I did.
-What is wrong with you?

I need you to go to Bryce
and get all my money,

and give it all
to Fatima.

You two need to be careful.

Why do we need to be careful?

'Cause y'all might be lookin'
at a charge too.

Yo, can you take a ride
with me real quick?

Why are we here?

[Connie] 'Cause I'm confused
about something.

-What the hell?
-Yeah.

[Connie] This is why
I was confused.

-Connie, is this...
-Alive Jeremiah.

Jeremiah.
Get up.

What?

What the hell?

So why is Zac in jail for...

k*lling him, exactly.

Exactly.

I gotta call a lawyer.

[Connie] See, that's why
I hate the county.

They don't even realize
that he alive.

Yo, this sh*t is crazy.

You got anybody
that can help?

Yeah, now that I know
he's alive.

Let me make a phone call.

Fatima.

-Jeremiah, do not talk to me.
-[Jeremiah] No, I'm sorry.

No, I don't wanna hear it.

I really am.

[Fatima] Okay, whatever. sh*t.

So what's the doctor saying?

About what?

About you.

Uh, just a few bruises,
that's it.

Where y'all going?

We going home.

What about me?
Nobody care about me.

Sorry, y'all just gonna
leave me like this?

Jeremiah, we gonna
talk to you later.

I told her I'm sorry.

But that n*gga, Zac,
was wrong, man.

No, your a*s was wrong.

She know I wasn't trying to hurt
her.

I'm sorry, Fatima!

She know I wasn't trying
to hurt her, man.

Yo, ain't that crazy?

Yeah, it is.

I know you relieved.

Yeah, I am, I am.

So who you about to call?

I'm not calling anyone.

Oh, nah,
what you mean, Fatima?

Just what I said, Connie.
I'm not calling anybody.

Look, I just need
to think about this first.

Think about what?

I need Zac to know
that he was wrong.

He knows that.

Connie, he does not
seem to get it.

Fatima.

Connie, Zac is showing
no remorse for this.

So you just gonna leave him
up at the jail?

Yeah.

So what if it gets serious?

Connie, it's already serious.

I mean, he in the jail
'cause he love you.

I know he does.

'Cause if that was my n*gga,

I would've bimbo came
out of jail...

But it's not your n*gga, okay?

Look, I'm gonna let him
stay there tonight.

Connie, what if this sh*t
happens again?

I don't know.

And furthermore, what if this
really played out

the way we thought it did?

I don't know. I just don't
want him up in that jail.

Zac will be fine, all right?
He's been there before.

So I can't talk to him
or nothing?

I will tell him.

-Okay, well...
-[Fatima] Damn.

I know you relieved.

[big exhale]

Yeah, I am.

So maybe it's not done-done.

-Maybe not. Mm.
-Mm-hmm.

Girl, come on, so I can take you
to your car.

I'm not doing this
with you.

[Connie] Say it
with your chest.

-You not done-done.
-[Fatima] Come on.

[indistinct]

[both laughing]

[electronic hip-hop music]

[cellphone ringing]

[Zac] Hey, what's up?
Where you at?

I'm headed
back to the hotel.

[Zac] All right.

But you could do me
a favor?

[Preston] What's that?

Can you try to get Fatima
to talk to me one more time?

Yeah, I can do that.

Can you go to the house
right now and talk to her?

Yeah, no problem.

I just, you know, I just
wanna let her know

what's up.

I'll head over there
right now.

How long
before you get there?

I'd say give me
about 30 minutes.

[Zac] Okay, bet.

Are you okay?

[Zac] Yeah, I'm chilling, man.

I just, um, I had some time
to think in here

and I just wanna talk to her,
you know?

[Preston] I understand.

To be honest,
I'm going crazy here, Preston.

No, look, I get it.

Do you need to talk to me
while I drive over there?

No. No, no. No, I just,
I wanna talk to her.

Okay, well, look,
like I said, give me a call

in about 30 minutes.

All right, it's done.

[Preston] Later.

He really wants to talk
to Fatima, huh?

Yeah.

[country music playing on radio]

How you feel
about all this?

How I feel
really doesn't matter.

I mean, she has the right
not to talk to him.

And if you think that,
my friend,

you do not understand love.

I do.

Yeah, if you say so.

[chuckles]

So you're going
back over there now.

Soon as I can drop you off
at your car.

-Okay, cool. It's at Angela's.
-[Preston] Angela's...

Wait, did I meet her?

Uh, yeah, I think so,
yeah.

Oh, yeah, I did.
Um, are you two dating?

Uh, no, we used to.

Yeah. Hey,
she seems nice.

Yeah, yeah, she's nice.
She's... Angel's great.

If you don't mind me asking,

what happened
between you two?

Oh, well, uh,
that's a long story.

Oh, okay, I get it.

You don't wanna talk about it.

Hey, no worries.

No, it's cool.
Whatever. We're fine.

Okay.

If you can,
just drop me off there, okay?

At Angela's house.

Yeah, no problem.

Okay, thanks.

[Fatima sighs]

Who is that?

That's Zac's therapist.

Well, what he doing here?

-Excuse me?
-Okay.

Are you done?

[Connie] Yes.

Hey.

All right.
Y'all have a good night.

You too.

I hope my car start.

-Me too.
-[Connie] Yep.

-Hey, Dr. Reid.
-How you doing?

-Come on inside.
-[Dr. Reid] Okay.

-Come on in, Doc. Have a seat.
-Thank you.

Well, you seem like you're doing
a lot better now.

Yeah. Um.

Now that I know
Zac is in jail

for no reason.

Wait, what?

Yeah. I just saw
his brother Jeremiah.

[Dr. Reid] Huh?

He's alive.

Well, that's great news.

Yeah. Yeah.

So is Zac coming home?

I guess he will
once they realize

they made a mistake.

Come again?

Or maybe when I contact my boss

to have her call
the district attorney.

I'm confused.

No, you're not, Doc.

Oh. You want Zac to...

I want him
to learn his lesson.

I was gonna say "suffer."

Those kinda run
on the same lane, yeah.

Sometimes, yes, it does.

-I want both.
-Okay.

How do you feel
about that?

The better question is,

how do you
feel about that?

Zac just does
the dumbest sh*t sometimes.

He's stubborn,
he doesn't listen, and...

Don't stop.
Go ahead.

Don't get me wrong.

Zac is a good man,
he is,

but he just does
the stupidest sh*t sometimes.

I can understand that.

I just want him
to learn a lesson.

Fair enough.

-Thank you.
-[Dr. Reid] Mm-hmm.

So do you wanna talk
about you?

You're Zac's therapist.

[Dr. Reid] Okay.

Well, then I guess
my work here is done.

I'm sorry you drove
all this way.

[Dr. Reid] It's okay.

But can you do something
for me?

What's that?

I want you to sleep on it.

I plan on it.

But wake up
with a clear head.

You really have a lot
that you have to think about.

-Okay.
-[Dr. Reid] Okay?

Well, then you have
a good night.

-You too, Doc, thank you.
-[Dr. Reid] Mm-hmm.

Of course.

-All right. Okay.
-[Fatima] Thanks again.

-[Dr. Reid] Have a good night.
-[Fatima] You too.

[suspenseful music]

Sounds like the car
is running pretty fine to me.

Oh, hey, girl.
I'm just letting it warm up.

Right. Okay.

Who was that man again?

Connie, I already told you
who that was.

You did.

-Yeah, I did.
-[Connie] You did.

Okay, well, good night.

Night, girl.

Bye.

[hip-hop music]

[knocking on door]

-[Angela] Hey.
-Hey.

Can I come in?

[Angela] Sure.

How are ya?

Fine.

Oh, do you have company?

If I did, I wouldn't have
let you in.

That's a good point.

Yeah.

So what's up?

I just wanted
to talk to you, you know?

Okay, about what?

I feel really bad.

-About what?
-Jeremiah and Zac.

Bryce, that has nothing
to do with you.

I know. I know. I just...

Then why do you feel bad?

Because Zac was so mad
about the money.

Yeah?

Yeah, and I feel that if he
wasn't so mad about it,

then he wouldn't have got
so upset

and out of control
and violent.

Bryce.

You're a good soul.

What?

I mean, you have empathy
for everybody.

I do?

[Angela] Yeah. You do.

But this ain't about you.

But I should've...

-Bryce, look, look, listen.
-Angela, no.

I like steak, right?

But you don't see me
going around,

feeling bad for every dead cow,
do you?

Wow.

[Angela] What?

[chuckles] That was,
that was really deep.

It's just the truth.

And look, Bryce, you gotta
get over this

sensitive sh*t, okay?

Damn, that's...

[Angela] What?

That I can...

always count on you
for the truth.

That you can.

Do I have to leave?

Yes.

Yes, you do.

'Cause you have company?

No, because I've had
a long day at work.

Okay.

How's Fatima?

She's as good
as she can be.

Okay, um, just make sure
to tell her...

Bryce. Bryce.

Let Fatima handle Zac, okay?

You worry about the business.

And this is not your fault.
Okay?

Okay. Thanks, Angela.

[Angela] Of course.

You there yet?

Okay, look,
give her the phone.

Man, I just walked up.
Let me knock.

[Zac] Okay.

[knocking on door]

[mysterious music]

Who is it?

It's Preston.

Preston, you know
Zac is not here.

Okay. Can I talk to you?

Yo, yo, yo, put me
on speaker, Preston.

Look, Zac is on the phone.
Okay?

I know this is a lot.
I'm sorry.

I get it. Please?

He just wants
to talk to you.

[Zac] Hey, Fatima,
what's up?

Zac, I'm not in the mood
for this.

[Zac] Fatima, come on,
just let me talk to you.

I don't wanna do this.

[Zac] What, you wanna
leave me out here,

just talking to myself?

You know Deja listening.

sh*t.

[Zac] Come on,
just let talk to you.

Okay.

-I'll wait out here.
-[Fatima] All right.

[Zac] You there?

Yes.

[Zac] By yourself?

Yes, Zac.

Look, I was wrong.

[Fatima] Okay.

You happy now?

What the hell does that mean,
am I happy now?

No, I didn't...
That came out wrong.

No, it didn't.

I just wanted to tell you

that you was right
and I was wrong.

I know that.

[Zac] And I was speaking
to Preston,

and he's gonna make sure
that you get

all the money
from the investment.

Why would you do that, Zac?

'Cause I'm in here, like,
I can't do nothing with it.

[Fatima] That's true.

And you gonna be in there
for a very long time.

I know.

Yeah, there's no getting out
of this one.

I know.

And, Zac, there's nothing
I can do to help you.

You, you serious
about leaving me in here

and not coming to see me?

Zac, why would I?

Come on, Fatima.

[Fatima] Zac, I am moving on
with my life.

Are you serious
right now?

Yes. You chose
to do this.

Okay. All right, listen,
I made a mistake. Okay?

Again.

Again, yes, again!

Why you acting like that?

Act like what, Zac?

This is a choice you made.
Don't do that.

You right.

[Zac] Yeah, I know I am.
So don't try that.

I'm not trying anything.
I'm just...

Look.

I'm just trying to tell you
that I'm sorry.

And that I feel like sh*t.

Okay, so just,
hypothetically speaking,

if something
like this happened again,

what would you do?

What you mean?

Just what I said,
what would you do?

Um, there's really no point
in talking about this,

'cause I'm already in here.

Zac, answer the question.

I wouldn't do this.

[Fatima] You wouldn't?

No. I'd listen to you.

You would?

[Zac] Yeah.

Okay, say this happened again,

would you go after somebody?

Fatima, come on.

[Fatima] Zac, answer me.

All right, I'd think about
what I have to lose.

That's not a no, Zac.

Fatima, I can't just let
anybody hurt you, yo.

Zac, you still haven't
learned a lesson.

No, I... [sighs] Yes.

I wouldn't go after nobody.
I wouldn't.

Zac, I don't even believe you.

I wouldn't, Fatima, I swear.

[distressing music]

Zac, I gotta go.

-[Zac] Fatima. I'm serious.
-I can't do this.

[Zac] Fatima, come...
Are you serious right now.

-Here, Preston.
-[Preston] Thanks.

She's gone.

-Okay.
-[Preston] I'm sorry.

It's all right, it's all right,
it's all right.

Is there anything
I can do for you?

[Zac] Nah, I'm good.

No, look,
just give me a call tomorrow.

Yeah, I will, if I...

Yeah, I'll find some time.
I got you.

[Preston] All right, good.
I'll talk to you soon.

Yeah, later.

[melancholic music]

[hip hop music]

Trot, trot, trot.

I don't know
what she about to talk about.

But we'll figure it out.

[simultaneous indistinct
mumbling]

Hey. What's up?

[Nathan] Hey.

Nathan.

What's going on?

sh*t.

Well, so you hit us and said
you wanted to talk to us.

Yeah, I want
to tell y'all something.

Okay, talk to us.

I don't know why Zac
is locked up.

Because of Jeremiah.

[Tony] Yeah.

Jeremiah is in
the hospital, fine.

Jeremiah is alive.

[Nathan] What?

Hold up. What are you
talking about?

I just left the hospital
with Fatima.

Uh, okay,
that don't make no sense.

Yo, this is crazy.

So last night,
I left him,

everything was fine.

So I don't understand how Zac
is in jail for k*lling him

if Jeremiah is alive.

Oh, yo, this is wild.
This is crazy.

So, hold up, let me
make sure I get this right.

So Jeremiah is alive

in the hospital
right now.

[Connie] Yep.

Yo, we can go get our boy
out of jail.

Yeah. For real.

Yo, what's Fatima saying?

Well, she says she wanted
to deal with it tomorrow.

What, what, why?
That don't make no sense.

-Why?
-What's her deal, man?

She says she wants
to teach him a lesson.

That's why she wanna
leave him there for the night.

Teach him a lesson?
That's a grown-a*s man.

By leaving him in there?
Yo, that's bullshit, man!

Well, that's what
she wanna do.

What you mean,
that's what she wanna do?

Nathan. It's not my place
no more.

You only saying sh*t
right now, all right?

What are you trying to say?

What you think
I'm trying to say, Nathan?

[Tony] Okay, Nate,
hold up...

Fatima want him there
for the night!

So you good with that?
You good with that?

You need to find
something to do.

-[Connie] All right.
-[Tony] Woah, Nate, relax,

What Connie is saying
is that Fatima

thinks that it would be
a good idea to

teach him a lesson
by leaving him in there.

[Connie] That's what
she said.

That's bullshit. She ain't ever
been locked up before.

Okay, no,
I hear you, bro, but...

[Nathan] No, bro, you don't.

Every second he is in there
is gonna drive him crazy.

This is wrong.

We need to go get him out
right now.

Okay, and how
we gonna do that, Nate?

What, are you gonna
put on a black ski mask,

repel down the walls,

and then break him out
like you a secret agent?

-All right.
-Yo, listen.

We don't even know nobody
that can help.

Well, Fatima knows
some people.

Okay, so we need
to pull up on her tonight.

Bro, hold up now.
If she saying

that she wants
to wait until tomorrow,

right, I'm just saying
it's her world.

I'll just wait till tomorrow
and we can talk to her.

Do you hear yourself
right now?

You wanna leave him in there

'cause she says she wants
to wait?

I ain't down for that.
And I ain't going for that.

Nate, that's what
Fatima doing.

Well, I don't care
what she wanna do.

-I'm not about it.
-[Connie] Okay.

[Nathan] I'ma do
something else.

Y'all gonna just let him
go out like that?

You know what?
f*ck both of y'all, man.

Y'all some suckers.

-Flat out. No.
-[Tony] Nate. Come on, man.

I'm going to get Zac.
I'm not leaving him in there.

Leave my n*gga
in jail?

[Connie] So you just
gonna leave?

-That's what I'm doing!
-[Connie] All right.

Yo, Nate, don't go
f*cking nothing up.

-[Nathan] Kiss my a*s, Connie!
-[Connie] That's fine.

-Punk-a*s! Sellout!
-[Connie] Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, okay!

Y'all gonna wake
the whole hood up, man.

-Come on.
-[Connie] You see?

I don't know where he's going,

but it's not like
he can do anything.

-That's right.
-And he got warrants.

Exactly. Stupid.

Let's focus on what's important.

-Jeremiah's alive.
-[Connie] Right.

And Zac will eventually
be a free man.

Hopefully, tomorrow.

Could you imagine
how bad this would be

if it really happened?

Yeah.

-[Connie] For the both of them.
-Yeah.

Hey, what do you know
about Zac's therapist?

Um, therapist... I...

Zac has a therapist.

Oh, yeah.

We were cracking jokes
about that. I do remember...

-Dr. Reid.
-[Tony] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Um, is Dr. Reid
cool with Fatima?

Well, I think that's how
he met him, through Fatima.

Oh, yeah. Okay.

Why? Why'd you ask?

I was just asking.

Connie, you're never
just asking.

I was just asking.
I'm just saying.

Okay, okay,
look, whatever.

I'm just glad
that Jeremiah's alive

and Zac will be free soon.

Me too.

Yeah, let me go see
what this knucklehead...

[Connie] Man, f*ck him.

No, I gotta
figure this thing out.

Yo, yo, come here.

Connie, are you okay?

Yeah.

I'm fine. Why you...
Man, I'm fine.

Go up there. Check him.

[Tony] I'ma talk to you
later, all right?

Mm-hmm.

[Tony] Yo, Nate!

Pssh.

[melancholy music]

Zachary Taylor?

Zachary Taylor?

Yeah.

How you doing, man?

Do I know you?

Nah, you don't.

Okay, well...

But I know you.

How you know me?

And I know your girl, Fatima.

Yeah, okay.

I overheard
the conversation on the phone.

What?

Yeah, I was, uh, [chuckles]
I was listening.

So good for you,
creepy-a*s n*gga.

Why the f*ck you listening...

Hey, man, why you
so hostile, brother?

Ain't nobody hostile.

I just don't know why
you talking to me.

Well, I thought I would
just say that...

How about you just leave me
alone? How about that?

Wait, hold on,
hold on, man.

You know Deja, right?

-What?
-[Swank] Deja.

She lives next door to you.

Yeah, what about her?

Well, I was at a party
at her house

not too long ago,
you know what I mean, and...

Okay, and what?
Like, what you want, bro?

Well, she told me
that you were in here

and to give you
a message.

I don't need
no messages from Deja.

Well, you gonna wanna
see this.

I don't need to see sh*t
from you neither.

Okay. All right.
But it's good.

It's your girl.

What?

[Swank] Yeah, man.

Looks like
she stepping out on you.

She couldn't wait for your a*s
to get locked up, huh?

n*gga, get the f*ck away
from my cell, bro.

Yeah. Take a look
at the pictures.

You see?
