03x12 - Three's a Crowd

[bunniefuu]

I have never successfully
completed a parole.

TAMMY: She relapsed.

When the demon's got her,
the demon's got her.

Hi, babe.

You just think to yourself,
"You're gonna do it this time.

"You're gonna stay out."

I'm taking my fugitive wife
home to Cresco,

then we have to figure out exactly
what we're gonna do from here.

- We pregnant.
JESSICA: We're pregnant?

- We pregnant!
- It is?!

We got some good news.
We're pregnant.

This is a loan.
$1,000 for a ring.

This is a test. I wanna see
if he does the right thing.

Hey.

While I was in prison,
there was, like, five or six

other guys I was talking to.

OK, about eight or nine.

Gonna send me some money or what?

- Huh?
- The money.

I'm sorry for ghosting you
like that.

I think you deserve better.

I'm a little BLEEP nervous

cos I always end up going
to jail when I go to court.

DESTINIE: 'I'm going to court
for an escape charge.'

Like, I might be going back
to prison right now.

My family is currently in Texas.

They want me out there,
Shavel wants me here.

You know I got to go to Texas.

So, how long you gonna be in Texas?

I don't know yet.

That makes me feel like
you're not coming back.

DYLAN: So, we're gonna leave.

Listen, you don't got to worry
about the parole agent.

Hi, Aunt Diane.

BLEEP.

Heather.
CAR HORN HONKS

Slow the BLEEP down.
I don't wanna go back to prison.

Hi. Don't arrest me.

We're good?

OK. All right.

Heather's behaviour
is really starting to make me think,

"This girl could easily
get me back in trouble."

I'm just here shaving one leg
and then the other.

That's how you got to do things
in life. One leg at a time.

HEATHER: I'm almost ready.

Dylan got out of prison yesterday,

and last night
was our first night together.

But trying to have sex
for the first time

in the house with Aunt Diane,
to just try to be quiet enough

that she doesn't hear,
it's like, "What the BLEEP?"

Dylan is good at sex,
but it was really not the best.

I think it was just the environment,
the atmosphere.

He felt kind of distant.

HEATHER: Put the DMV on your GPS.

OK. It says "closes soon".

- Hey, put this down.
- Here, I got it. In the back?

Yeah. Thank you.
ENGINE STARTS

I got out of prison yesterday,

and it's been a BLEEP nightmare.

'Luckily for me, things have
calmed down for the better.

'For the first time in five years,
Heather and I had sex.'

And if crazy
translates into good sex,

yes, the sex with Heather was good.

So, today I need to go to the DMV
and get my driver's licence.

But I'm definitely nervous
to get behind the wheel again.

It's like riding a bike.

As part of your parole, you need
to get a Social Security card,

you need to get an ID.

But Heather took a long time
to get ready in the morning,

so we're late,
and I'm just so frustrated.

We did it!
HEATHER: Yay.

If it is, I'm gonna be so mad.

Not at you...

At the fact
that they don't do testing.

They do, but usually,
it's, like, they stop accepting...

Like, the line stops for testing,
like, two hours after they open.

HE SIGHS

OK.

Vehicle services? No.

- Driver services.
- Driver services.

HEATHER: Hi!
WOMAN: Hello.

He just got out of prison
and needs to get an ID.

She said no more written tests,
no more driving tests.

That was the last group.

They didn't accept you
into the line,

because we were late.

Because of make-up.

- Make-up?
- Babe, I'm just joking.

No, it was not because of make-up.

It wasn't because of make-up.

It was just a joke.
- I'm gonna wait in the car.

- Let's talk about us.
- I'm gonna wait in the car.

When you're done doing your
interview, you can meet me there.

Nope, I need a second.

DYLAN: 'Heather and I
have never lived together,

'and we haven't spent that much
time together outside of prison.'

And Heather's being
completely irrational.

I hate when you do that, like,
in such a condescending way.

I've had plenty of girlfriends
that are high-maintenance,

but this is, like, next-level BLEEP.

I need a BLEEP second!

Give me my keys, please!

Hey.

What's going on?

So you really about to leave, huh?

Yeah.
ZIPPER RASPING

So, this is it,
what's going on is...

your family's about to get
what they want.

You're actually going to Texas,

and there's a possibility
that you probably won't come back.

Quaylon got a one-way ticket
to Houston.

Like, I'm sick to my stomach.

I need a moment to figure BLEEP out.

Figure what out?

This ain't even up for no debate.

I'm going to Texas.
That's what it is, so...

You know I don't want you to go.

I know, but I'm trying to just get
all this out of the way right now.

So this is...
this is what they...

And they already told me that
they wanted you to come out there.

They wanted you to... you know,
they wanted you to be there.

And you're leaving...

I'm doing this
because I wanna do it.

Right, but you're leaving
me and Mi'elah.

But when you were in jail,
you basically said that

we was gonna be a family
and we was gonna start out,

but now you're going to Texas.

This is what people warned me about.

So, basically,
you want me just to wait?

- Yeah.
- I'm not doing that.

Listen, I made a promise
to my family,

just like I made a promise to you.
- Uh...

And I'm a man of my word.
I got to...

I got to be a man of my word
and live up to what I say.

Oh, so you sayin'
you a man of your word,

but you said
that you was gonna be here with us.

- I'm here right now.
- Right now, but you about to leave.

I'm coming back, though.
I keep telling you.

You keep saying that.

- Yeah.
- You saying that out your mouth.

But I don't know that.
- I keep telling you...

You keep saying that,
and I don't know that.

I'm not understanding
how you not...

understanding where I'm coming from.
But, you know, you can choose...

You talked a good game
when you was in jail, basically

saying that we were gonna be
a family and start our journey.

And I don't feel like we are.

You just up jumpin' and leavin'.
You're leaving us.

Look, the cab's here. I'm leaving.

I'll be back. All right?

'I love Shavel.'

I wanna be here with her
and Mi'elah.

You know, they're my family.

'But all she hearing
is that I'm leaving,

'and she thinking that I'm using her
and I'm playing her,

'and that's not the case.'

Me wanting to go see my family
should not be enough for Shavel

to question everything
that we has talked about.

You know, I'm just trying
to take a little time out

to get myself together.

I can't start my life with Shavel

until I take the time that I need
to spend with my family.

SHAVEL: For two and a half years,

I dreamed of what our life
would be like.

'I never imagined this happening.

'My family may be right.'

He may just have been trying
to use me for money

this whole entire time.

Things have shifted
in our relationship,

and I don't know
if it's growing pains

or if this is the end for us.

It's a hard pill to BLEEP swallow.
Like, you can't do BLEEP about it.

Listen, I'm not
in BLEEP fairy-tale land.

Like, fact is,
is that it's gonna happen.

Are the cops gonna come
busting down doors?

I'm a convict.

Having her here means
that I could go back to prison.

Get in the BLEEP car,
please, Dylan!

We're either gonna die
in a car crash or go to jail.

You can't drive the wrong way
down a one-way BLEEP street!

Vegas, I'm here, baby!

I'm in Vegas, b*tch!

JESSICA: Hi!
MAURICE: Hello.

Hi, my name's Nikki.
You must be Jess and Maurice.

BOTH: Yes.
- Great.

So, you guys are looking
to get married?

Something like that.

'Me and my wife got married
while I was in prison.'

Man, I don't even know what to say
about that BLEEP-a*s prison wedding.

That BLEEP was trash. Garbage.

It was just like, you know,
"Sign this paper. Y'all married."

And that's it.

The first chapel is gonna be
the La Capella Chapel.

Let's take a look.
JESSICA: OK.

That ain't got nothing
on a real wedding, man.

And Dave gave me his blessing
to marry his daughter.

I'm nervous.
I'm not gonna sit here and lie.

Yeah, I'm nervous.

So, right here
are our unity candles.

So this would signify unity
between the two of you.

How did you guys meet?
- We met online, actually.

I was in prison.
I just got out of prison.

Oh, did you?

- Yeah.
- Yes.

You guys are definitely in love,
right?

- Yeah, of course.
- For sure. She my baby.

NIKKI: Aw, that's so sweet.

- The name of this chapel is...?
- This is the La Capella Chapel.

- La Capella?
- La Capella.

Got "lock" on it.
I might don't want this.

NIKKI: Let's move over
to the Magnolia Chapel.

Even though me
and Maurice are already married,

we wanna have a real wedding

so I can wear the white dress,
he can look good in his tux,

all of our families
can meet each other.

And I hope one day

that me and my sister
can be close like we were,

because I would really love
to have her at my wedding.

- Oh!
- Ooh!

So, this one right here
is the Magnolia Chapel.

- This go crazy, though.
NIKKI: Yeah.

I can see my mom back here
like, "Go, son!"

LAUGHING

"That's my baby right here!
Go, son!"

I'ma have my auntie over here.

She gon' be like,
"That's right, baby!

"That's my baby right here.
Look at my baby."

This wedding venue,

we got to make sure
everything is on point

because Jessica's parents,
they ain't never met my family.

I mean, BLEEP.
Of course I'm worried about it.

My peoples from LA.
They from Compton.

So I hope they can all get along.

So, this is the Glass Gardens
that I was telling you about.

WATER TRICKLING

- Oh, oh, oh!
- Look up here!

- This go crazy.
- Smells good in here.

And voila... you have sunset.

- Ooh.
- That's pretty. I like that.

LAUGHING

This is the most romantic spot
I've been with my wife.

It's beautiful.

I'll let you two talk in private,

and if you have any questions,
I'll be at my office, OK?

Yes, ma'am.

This is nice, babe.
- Yeah. I like this one.

- You know I appreciate you, right?
- Yeah.

- And you know I love you, right?
- Yes.

I never, ever want to sleep
without you, be without you.

I love you from the bottom
of my heart, Jessica.

There's nothing I want more
is to start my family with you,

be there with you every day.

I appreciate you, babe, for
putting your life on hold for me,

coming to visit me, skipping meals
just to make sure I eat.

I really, really
appreciate you, babe.

So with that being said...

LAUGHING: What are you doing?

- Will you marry me?
- Oh, my God.

Yes!

BOTH LAUGH

Oh, perfect.

Oh, my God.

So pretty.

- You like it?
- Yes.

I don't know
how he got the money for the ring,

and I hope he didn't do
anything ill*gal to get it,

but this means the world to me,
for him to do that.

- It fits you.
- Yes.

Let me see you go like this.

It's beautiful. It's sparkly.

I can't wait to marry him,

and I can't wait to start
our family and just be happy.

You made me cry.

HE LAUGHS
I got a little tear from you.

THEY LAUGH

SHE SIGHS

They hate me.

Seven years is a long time.

So, I walk in the courthouse,

they call my name,
my old public defender comes in,

and he said, "Well, yes,
the case is getting dismissed,

"but they're...
The DA's re-filing on you."

So I'm not getting...
like, this is not gonna go away.

I'm gonna do time for it.
I'm looking at seven years.

I... couldn't even believe it.

Like, my heart just dropped
into my stomach, I don't know.

SHE SIGHS

BLEEP.

DA's like, "We've been dealing
with this case for a while now,

"and we've talked about it

"and, you know, yeah,
we plan on dismissing it today,

"but there's gonna be
some new charges

"that are gonna be filed."

An escape charge, like,
and it's my second one.

So, just knowing, like...

Like, yeah, it's getting dismissed.

But at the same time,
like, it's not over.

It's only buying me time,
like, they hate me.

I feel like they're gonna
throw me to the wolves.

I'm gonna go back to prison,
and it's kind of like...

I'm not gonna let them
throw you to the wolves.

It's a hard pill to BLEEP swallow.
You can't do BLEEP about it.

My attorney
can't even do BLEEP about it.

Like, what are you gonna do?
- We'll do whatever we can do.

I don't have a leg
to BLEEP stand on, dude.

Yeah, but doesn't that still...
Even though they re-file, though,

doesn't it still...
almost, in a way,

double jeopardy, in a way?
- No, it's not.

By law, they have two times
that they can re-file against you,

but it has to be within a year.

So it's been less than
a BLEEP year, it's been...

Maybe we'll get lucky,

and the judge'll just throw it out,
not let it. I mean...

Listen, I'm not in
BLEEP fairy tale land.

Like, I'm facing reality.
Let's be BLEEP real here.

The fact is,
is that it's gonna happen.

Straight up. It's gonna happen.

I'm not gonna sit here
and tell myself,

"Oh, it's not gonna happen"
and keep that mindset and what?

BLEEP be BLEEP devastated?
Like, no, dude.

Like, I know in my mind,
in my heart,

like, I'm going back to prison,
it's just only a matter of time.

I have a lot of BLEEP up
BLEEP that I've done,

and now my past is just biting me
in the a*s, dude.

Cos finally, really for once, dude,

I'm really BLEEP doing good,
and I don't know.

I just feel like
it's all for nothing.

Nothing's for nothing.

That's how I feel, dude.

Don't let it drive you into a,

"Well, I'm doing this
all for nothing,"

and then get that attitude, cos
that's where it gets you in trouble.

Me just getting my hopes up
and just banking on, like,

it being dismissed
is kind of like...

'I don't know,
I feel kind of like... Ugh.

'Like, empty. You know?'

Like, I just wish that, if they're
really about rehabilitation

and wanting to help people,
like, I wanna...

I wish that they would
give me the chance to.

You know, like at least
before they file on me,

give me, like, an opportunity
to show I can do good.

I feel like...
like why am I even doing good?

You know? Like, I don't know.

SHE SIGHS

DESTINIE: I hope that you know,
when I say seven years,

it's a BLEEP long time. Like...

And I'm not gonna BLEEP
expect you to BLEEP wait for me.

Like, that's crazy as BLEEP.
I know in my heart, like,

BLEEP, that's just crazy.
That's never gonna happen.

Why wouldn't I?

I don't wanna hear no BLEEP.
I know, dude, what time it is.

And you don't BLEEP lose your b*tch,
you just lose your turn.

Dude, I know what it is.
And I've been through this BLEEP...

I've been through
this BLEEP too many times.

SHAWN: Yeah. But listen...

It's the truth.
It's just BLEEP not...

- You should know me better.
- Let's not go there.

For you to say that,
that's not being fair to me.

What do you mean,
that's not being fair to you?

I'm being realistic here.
It's not being fair to me,

because for real,
let's not go there.

Let's not do that.

Just know that I'm here.
Like, I'm here for you.

Just be here,
just please don't be like...

Please just understand right now
that, like, my family, you...

Just everybody, like,
I kind of just need to BLEEP

have my little space a little bit.

I know she's upset right now,
and I love her enough, you know,

to... to be by her side
and to help her through this.

Because if she does have to go back,
she might go off the deep end,

and I don't wanna see that.

I'm not gonna just bail on her.

I thought it was gonna go
a lot better than it did.

And, um, it didn't.

But if we were to end things now,
she's just gonna be...

go...
MIMICS expl*si*n

- Yeah.
- Right back.

- It would be bad. It'd be bad.
- I knew what I was getting into.

Yeah.

I knew this was a possibility.

So I'm just gonna stick it out
with her.

That's so beautiful.

And I'm still gonna do it.

I still want her to know
that I love her,

I wanna be by her side.

- That's awesome.
- Aww!

I guess we should give you a hug
or something.

I don't know. Are we all crying?

I'm happy for you guys.

I know some good bars,
I got some really cute friends.

- Trying to get me in trouble now.
- Keep your options open, see?

KRISTIANNA: Are the cops
gonna come busting down doors?

GRUNTING

- Hi, guys.
TERRA: My sister!

So, I just barely got Kristi's mom
and sister moved into my house

when I get a call
from the halfway house.

If she didn't go back to the house,
John, she relapsed.

She's out there using somewhere.

TERRA: How'd you get her back, John?

She called me, and I just went
and brought her home.

I'm definitely relieved
that she's here,

but in my mind,
I'm actually working on,

what do we do next?

We know that eventually
this warrant is gonna hit.

She's gonna have to go back to jail.

So, can, um, any of us get caught up

or in trouble for having her here?
Like...

You know, I mean,
yeah, there's cases

where people can get hit
for harbouring a fugitive.

I'm a convict,
so having her here means

that I could go back to prison.

But then again,
I don't wanna lose her.

Ever.

What, sister?
You want me in there?

It's just me.
KRISTIANNA SOBBING

Mwah.

How you feel, princess?

Good.

SNIFFLING

Oh, my God.
I was so much relieved

to see Kristianna come through
that door with John.

I didn't know whether or not I...

I'd have to worry about her
not making it home again,

not ever seeing her again.

I just got triggered.

That's what's wrong with that town.

Can't go nowhere
without running into the...

- Exactly.
- ..wrong BLEEP person.

TAMMY: Bad influences.

I just went down
the wrong path, you know?

I just...

I don't wanna put my family
through this any more.

I know.

BOTH SOBBING

John can save you.

I just wanna be able to be OK
without medication,

without using,
just being OK with being OK.

TERRA: Right.

And I feel you, cos I'm going
through the same thing, too.

You know what happens next?

Yeah, probably go to jail
and back to prison.

And so how much prison time
does that leave you with?

I don't know. Are the cops
gonna come busting down doors?

It's really hard to relax

because I know
that I have to turn myself in,

which is something
I've never done before.

I know it's gonna be
the right thing to do,

because if the cops
would catch me,

I don't want John
to get in any trouble.

I just wanna go to sleep.

JOHN:
I'm gonna put your sister to bed.

This will be my third time going
into prison on this same charge.

And I will lose something
that is finally right in my life

because of the choices
that I've made.

There's nothing to really
justify my actions, though.

You know? I just...

GRUNTING

BLEEP.

This is an emotional moment
for everyone

because we know that she is going to
go back to prison at this point.

So whatever happiness
we find right now

is gonna be very short-lived.

Tammy and Terra, they think
that the best thing to do

is for her just to turn herself in
as soon as possible.

It's going to be
extremely emotionally taxing

for me to be the one
to walk her into the jail.

It's gonna be hard.
It's gonna hurt.

Feels good being down here in Texas.
The weather's nice.

I had to come out here
to get my mind right,

you know, uh, be around my fam.

Shavel didn't want me
to come out here.

But you know,
I needed to come down here.

And I feel like
she need to be more understanding.

My family been doing time with me

the whole time
I've been doing the time,

so they deserve
to spend time with me,

just as I deserve
to spend time with them.

So that's part of the reason
why I'm down here.

Also, you know,

things was moving kinda too fast
for me out there.

'So I had to take a step back
from Shavel

'and analyse my decisions,
know what I'm saying?'

Cos I can't do nothing, man,

if my mind is just, you know,
all over the place.

Ha-ha!

Hey, mama!

Ah!

How you doing?
- Hey, baby!

THEY LAUGH
You made it!

'It feels amazing
to have Quaylon in Texas.'

I've been waiting, like...

I didn't wanna leave him
in Kansas City.

Thank you, sweetie.

He belongs here with his family

and all the opportunities
that awaits him.

- Ah!
- Oh, my goodness.

So, what's the plan?
What's going on?

Hey, it's your world now.
What you wanna do?

We can do whatever you want.

Sounds good to me.

So, how's Shavel and Mi'elah?

You know,
it's a little situation right now.

You know, she ain't want me
coming out here.

She gonna be mad for a minute,
but, you know, she gon' get over it.

Hopefully.
- Yeah.

Well, from where I'm sitting,

I think if you don't move
fast enough for her,

she's goin', you know,

throw some type of temper tantrum
or something.

- Yeah.
- It's a whole world out there.

- Right.
- What I'm saying is,

you in Houston now.

Go on some dates.

Just keep an open mind.

You have all this opportunity
ahead of you now.

And so I really strongly,

you know, believe that Houston
is the best place for you.

New environment, new city,
new people, new opportunities.

As your mom, that's what I feel.
- Right.

That's definitely
what the trip's about, you know.

Just to get my mind right.
- Cool.

'I don't have anything
against Shavel,

'but I question whether or not
he really knows what he wants.'

I believe Quaylon
is currently feeling

a little, uh, obligation
and love.

So I would like for Quaylon to
explore his options and make sure.

And I don't think
that he can be sure

if he don't at least check into it.

That's all I'm saying.

Ah!

- Oh, BLEEP!
- Quaylon!

BOTH EXCLAIMING,
LAUGHING

- Oh, my goodness.
- What's up?

- How are you?
- How you doing, man? I'm good.

Look at you!
- Your hair! Oh, my goodness!

QUAYLON: Quaviaunce, Q-baby,

she the baby sister,
so I was very protective of her.

'I haven't seen her since...'

You know,
it's been, like, eight years.

- How you feel seeing your sister?
- Man, it's crazy looking at her

cos she ain't a baby no more.
- I know, huh?

- I'm like, "Who face is this?"
- Right.

"Whose face is this?"

- Good to have my brother home.
- Yeah, I know.

So, what you trying
to get into while you're here?

I don't know, this y'all city, man.

Which y'all be doing?
- I know some good bars.

I know some good places,
some good scenes.

I got some really cute friends, too,

I wanna introduce you to.
- Ah! Oh, nah, nah.

Trying to get me in trouble now.
- Keep your options open, see?

QUAVIAUNCE: Right!

So, when my sisters came back
after meeting with Shavel,

they didn't really feel like
she was a good fit for him,

just for knowing
who he is as a person.

And I would prefer him to be here

because I got
a bunch of cool, cute friends

that have a lot going for themselves
that I feel like he should meet,

and he might actually
have something with them.

I would say to you like I told Mama,
man, I'm dedicated to Shavel.

Know what I'm saying?
So that's what it is.

You got to let me take you out
at least once this week.

- Oh, for sho'.
- Exploring options.

Honestly, this trip is just for me
to spend time with my family

and to also have some fun, as well.

Sound like fun, man. I'm ready.

I'm ready right now.
BOTH LAUGH

For real.

- Get in the BLEEP car, Dylan!
- I got to go.

We're making it harder
than it has to be.

- Really?
- Yes!

I'll show you some hard BLEEP.

BLEEP. You're driving like a psycho!

ARIELE: What kind of style
are we doing on you today?

I just want it twisted,
probably braided.

- OK.
- Or you can get funky with it.

I mean, you the one with the skills.

- Let me work my magic on you.
- OK.

QUAYLON:
Appearance is, to me, everything.

So getting my hair done, man,
it makes me feel like money.

So, who was actually doing your hair
while you were locked up?

- I was doing it myself.
- Really?

- Yeah.
- All this?

- All this. Took me hours.
- Oh, OK.

Well, I mean, you had time.

Yeah, I got a lot of it.
SHE LAUGHS

As far as being a barber,
I know all the basics.

In prison, I used two-in-one
shampoo and conditioner.

I used some Crown Royal grease.
Really nothing, for real.

DRYER WHIRRING

Man, that feel good.

In prison, you got some
of the most talented barbers

and hair stylists.

I got to learn how to do
what they do.

I got to go overboard
with cutting hair.

OK! See, she know what she doing.

- Hey, how you doing today, sir?
- How you doing?

- Good, good.
- Um, I'm here to meet a young lady.

I have a wonderful young lady
over here, sir.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

It's been months
since I heard from Chanda.

'We talked on the phone
about the relationship.

'It was nice to hear her voice.'

It kind of felt good to actually
have a conversation with her.

Hey, you!
- Hi!

How you doing? You OK?

- Yeah.
- I'm good. I'm good. I'm good.

Good.

You know what? You got some
pretty eyes, you know that?

Aw, thank you.

I met Tracy at an art gallery.

I was looking at some art,

and I seen a woman
just standing all alone,

so I struck up a conversation.

You gorgeous.
- You are, too.

I could see a future with Chanda,

but I pretty much gave that up,
and then I met Tracy.

Tracy got her act together,
and Tracy makes me happy.

Plus, she got a big ol' a*s.

I wanna thank you
for coming in my life.

A lot of people out here
got their own agenda.

We got a lot of con artists,
you know what I'm saying?

So I'm just thankful.

Speaking of con artists,
so, have you talked to her?

No, I have not.

You know,
she is probably gonna end up

calling you and wanting money.

I don't know Chanda
on a personal level,

but I can relate to her
as far as being a prisoner,

cos I have been one at one time.

They gonna think,
every time somebody see me,

I don't do nothing
but date jailbirds.

LAUGHING

Everybody I date can't be in prison.

You laugh.

"That's the guy.
All he date is jailbirds."

You ain't got nothing
to worry about.

It's in the past. I done moved on.

I'm dating someone else,
someone more mature.

You know, she was younger than me,
and sometimes, you got to grow up.

So you ain't got nothing
to worry about, babe. You my babe.

Speaking from own experience,
it's very hard to trust people,

cos you don't know
what they're thinking

or where their mind is at.

'So I'm not rushing anything.
She's not rushing anything.'

But I'm excited to see
where this go.

- Mmm!
- I'ma tear this chicken up.

- It's really good.
- Guess what else I'ma tear up.

FORK CLATTERS
Huh?

I don't know. You wanna tell me?

You'll find out tonight.
CHUCKLING

Nice and tight, just right.

Yuh.
LAUGHS

So, I told a little white lie.

- A white lie?
- Just a little one.

It's one of these options
we was talking about.

Damn! You and these options, man.

Stop cussin'.

HE LAUGHS

No foul language.
- I got it.

- Hey, how y'all doing?
- How you doing?

Hey, stranger!

- Hey, how you doing?
- Long time.

- Long time. How you doing?
- How you doing?

Good. I brought my son to see you.

You got time to talk to him
about the business?

- Just give me a sec, all right?
- OK.

I'll see you in a few minutes.

I set Quaylon up for an interview

because I wanted him
to meet my friend

and see there's tonnes
of opportunity here in Houston.

He doesn't have to go back to Kansas
City to make something happen.

He can make it happen right here.

I think if you were to work here,
you'd like it.

QUAYLON: And you think cutting hair,
that's the perfect job?

QUALANDRIA: It's a perfect start.
Just make sure you ask him

all the questions
you need to ask, you know?

Quaylon's mad at me
or frustrated with me right now,

but I don't care. I'm the mama.

OK, well, y'all talk.
I'ma be outside.

- All right.
- All right.

CADILLAC
SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY

Your mom, she cool people, man.
- Yeah.

She know I wanna cut hair on
the side BLEEP.

So I'm out here,
I'm looking for an opportunity.

A legitimate one, though.

I don't mind giving anybody
a chance, know what I'm saying?

Everybody mess up. It happens
in life, know what I'm saying?

..who came from a situation.

So me and you,
it's a clean slate.

..that's when
I look at you different.

That's how I feel.
I feel like I did my time.

I 12/12'ed that b*tch.
I ain't out on parole.

But at the same time,

on some real BLEEP, bro, like,
my mama straight ambushed me.

On our way to run errands,
she was like,

"I want you to meet my friend.
He your boy."

Now, my situation, my girl in
Kansas City, know what I'm saying?

But she want me to stay out here
in Houston,

so she's sh**ting
all little comments

to keep me around.

And I'm feeling the love,
I'm receiving,

but at the same time, I got
a partner, so I got to check in.

- Right, right.
- Know what I mean?

But you know Mom... she ain't
trying to hear none of that.

It's Mom.
HE LAUGHS

It is important, giving people
coming out of jail the opportunity

because, BLEEP, if you don't do it,
they gon' mess around

and go back to doing something
they was doing, right back in jail.

So it's cool when someone might
wanna try to turn around,

try to change himself
just a little bit.

So you might as well back him up
a little bit, too.

I appreciate you stopping through,
though.

- I appreciate the help.
- Yeah, man, no problem.

I appreciate you stopping through.

From what I see,
I think he gon' be all right.

But I know it is a long road ahead.
He fresh out.

'He probably need to go home,
chill with his girl

'for a little while,
get all situated.'

- How'd it go?
- It was cool, it was cool.

- Thank you.
- Yes, ma'am.

You know.

Cutting hair is not my passion,
know what I'm saying?

Music, that's my passion.
That's what I do.

So that job... Pfft!

..definitely wouldn't keep me
in Texas.

You too persistent.
- I'm gon' keep being persistent.

You got options all in my head.

That's what you need to have -
options.

I want to be
a successful business owner.

'I wanna have my own family.'

I wanna be out here with my family,
you know what I'm saying?

I want all my peoples in one area,
know what I'm saying?

That's my goal. That's what I want.

BLEEP you! Get out!

I didn't do anything!

You can't drive the wrong way
down a one-way BLEEP street!

We're either gonna die
in a car crash or go to jail.

HEATHER: Turn off your BLEEP mic
or get out of my car.

DYLAN: Slow the car down!

BRITNIE: How's your salad?

- Good.
- Looks really good.

- You want some, guys?

I can't even eat right now, guys.
I'm BLEEP sick to my stomach.

I feel like I can't get away
from my past for the life of me.

Like, the harder I try,
the worse things get, you know?

BRITNIE: Did he ever warn you

of this possibility
just to kind of prepare you?

No, I wasn't aware
that they were gonna re-file.

They didn't tell me because
they didn't want me to BLEEP...

- Run?
- Maybe.

Nothing today is going the way
that it should've gone.

My attorney gets the judge to agree

to put my court date off
for a few more weeks,

and hopefully
just come to an agreement

of how much time I am gonna do.

I thought that I was gonna
get past all this,

and now I feel like
I'm just back at square one.

And it's just...
It's horrible.

They'll give you enough rope
to hang yourself, you know?

That's the whole point,
is to see if you're gonna be able

to be successful no matter
what life throws at you.

And I've failed
every single BLEEP time.

SHAWN: Maybe this time,
the outcome will be a lot better.

But I mean, what happens
when they do send me back to prison?

Then what? Like, I need to just
mentally prepare myself for that,

because, really, at the end,
that's what could happen.

Trust me, we'll make it work.

Destinie thinking
that no matter what,

she's going back to prison,
that really, really breaks my heart.

She's just afraid
that it's just gonna end,

and she's just gonna be stuck
by herself again.

I just really want
to get the BLEEP out of here.

SHAWN: I agree.
- See you in a couple weeks.

- All right. Yeah.
- Yeah.

- All right.
- Come here, give me a hug.

I love you guys.
Thank you guys for coming.

SHAWN: I'm hoping that
when I propose to Destinie today

that the positive memory
will outweigh the negative

and just kind of turn
everything around.

I'm very impressed on the way
you handled today.

Like, it could've been...
it could've been worse.

And it could've...
- Will you watch the road?

I figure that we'll stop up here
and just kind of walk

by the river or something,
just to kind of clear your mind

and just see a different atmosphere.

Shawn wants to take me
to some BLEEP river walk.

That's the last thing
that I wanna do.

This is not BLEEP something
that I'm gonna enjoy right now.

Really, I'm not.

I just wanna go to a motel

and BLEEP relax
because I've had a BLEEP-a*s day.

SHAWN: This has definitely been a
long roller-coaster ride, hasn't it?

Just from the beginning,
from when we first met.

Like, today was a hell
of a test for us.

I learned a lot,
how much I care for you

and how much that
I wanna be with you.

What do you mean?
You learned that today?

SHAWN CHUCKLES
Not today.

Just all in general.
- I'm just asking.

You're my world now.

Like, I wouldn't even know
what to do if I came home

and I didn't smell
your perfume any more,

or I didn't have you
there any more.

I love you with all my heart.

You know, you told me that you're
always more of an action person

and that you want, you know, to...

to prove it, type-deal.

And so that's what
I'm gonna do, Destinie.

What the BLEEP?

DYLAN:

- I'm gonna wait in the car.
- Let's talk about us.

I'm gonna wait in the car.

When you're done doing your
interview, you can meet me there.

No, I need a second.
I need a BLEEP second!

I just need a second. For real.

DYLAN: It was a joke, Heather.
- No, it wasn't.

- It was a joke!
- Dylan... OK.

It was a hilarious joke.
Hilarious [!]

DYLAN: 'Heather totally flips out
at me at the DMV.'

I'm like, "What is going on?"

Get in the BLEEP car,
please, Dylan!

Excuse me? Babe,
I'm trying to open the door.

The door is still locked.

- The door is not locked!
- She's not gonna stay.

She's 100% gonna leave. I...

Listen, I got to go.

Yeah, we can talk,
but I got to get in the car.

- You just said to me...
- Bye!

Have a nice day!
- Look, babe...

- I'm not doing this.
- Stop.

HEATHER:
Get out. You can get out. Get out.

Can I sit down and chill
and get my BLEEP bearings together?

- Go do what you got to do. Go. Go.
- No! Heather...

The Dylan that I was
so comfortable with over the phone,

in person, is super judgy.

And it doesn't even feel like
I'm with the same person sometimes.

I wasn't blaming you, babe.

Will you park the car?
- No, dude. I wanna leave.

I don't wanna be here.
I don't like this BLEEP.

This is not for me, Dylan.

We're making it harder
than it has to be!

- Really?
- Where do you wanna go?

We're making it harder
than it has to be?

Yes. Where do you wanna go?
What is wrong?

I'm gonna take off my mic,

I'm gonna rip out
the BLEEP GoPros,

and I'll show you
how to make it hard.

- Heather, why are you doing this?
- BLEEP you! Get out!

I'm not doing this.
You're a whole different person...

I didn't do anything!

- Right, you didn't do anything.
- Right. Nothing wrong!

I did nothing wrong, Heather.
- Right, you did nothing wrong.

At this point, I realise
Heather is not the same person

that I was talking to
when I was in prison.

If Heather doesn't stop acting
so BLEEP crazy,

I don't know what's gonna happen.

This is a side of Heather
I've never seen before.

HEATHER: Turn off your BLEEP mic
or get out of my car.

DYLAN: You can't drive the wrong way
down a one-way BLEEP street!

Slow the car down.

I'm in a horror movie.

I'm on BLEEP parole!
I just got out of prison!

'We're either gonna die
in a car crash or go to jail.'

I'm literally terrified.

BOTH SHOUTING
INDISTINCTLY

DYLAN: You're driving like a psycho!

CAR HORN HONKS

- I like your hair. That's cute.
- Thank you.

SHAVEL:
'Wait a minute. Where you at?'

What's with the third degree?

LINDSEY:
'I haven't told him everything.'

I'm not really ready
to go back to jail, though.

I think I have to
call the sheriff.

I just really think
that you need to meet Kelly.

DESTINIE: I'm gonna have to show her
she's not gonna disrespect me.

And if the cops come,
they'd better bring two body bags.
