(relaxing piano music)
- [Freedom] It's funny how life can change
in a matter of seconds.
(soft piano music)
In another lifetime, I must have really did someone dirty.
And Malcolm was my punishment.
Good morning?
- Good morning, beautiful?
What you got planed for the day?
- I'll be at the salon til about seven.
- That's good, that's real good.
It's good to see your clientele growing.
- (chuckles) Yeah.
- I'm supposed to be going to watch the game after work,
so I'm gone be coming in late.
- You coming home late again? - Yeah.
- I don't know, maybe I thought you'd wanna come home
and spend some time with me.
Maybe that's just wishful thinking on my end.
- Don't start that nagging shit.
Look, just try to enjoy your day, all right?
- Bye.
- I'll holler at you.
- Finish that up there.
You gone like this girl.
What you think?
- (gasps) I love it.
I look just like Jill Scott.
- Oh, well I'm glad you like it girl (laughs).
- Yes. - That's good.
- All right, here you go.
- [Freedom] All right girl.
- [Tia] All right, I appreciate it.
- Thank you.
- They not gone be ready.
- They ain't ready, girl.
- I know, I know, I love that.
All right, see you next month.
- I'll see you girl. - Okay.
- [Freedom] She look cute.
- Girl, she must be smoking some serious weed,
if she thinks she looks like Jilly from Philly.
- Girl stop, don't say that, she looks cute.
- I'm just saying.
- You always just saying, always talking about everybody.
- (scoffs) You can't say excuse me.
(Tia gasping)
So you still salty, Tia?
- About? - Ryan, of course.
- Not at all.
- I don't know, you seem so bitter.
- Never that. - (gasps) Wow.
Your hair is so cute, my sister's a damn miracle worker.
- Look, don't let that slick mouth
of yours get you in trouble.
- Slick? - Yeah, slick.
- In trouble, trouble with whom?
- Me and these hands.
- Aren't you a little bit just too old
to be trying to fight somebody, sweetie?
Girl, bye.
Hey sissy?
- [Freedom] Hey girl?
- Girl, one of these days, Tia is gonna beat your ass.
- Yeah, right.
- You know you can't fight.
- Girl, I'm too cute to fight.
I leave that to my goons.
- (chuckles) Your goons?
See you a whole hot mess.
- A beautiful, sexy mess. (Freedom laughing)
- In whose world?
- Anyway, what you getting done today girl?
- I don't know girl, I'm feeling flyer than usual.
Let's do something over the top.
Something that just screams extra.
- All right I got you, how about this?
- (gasps) Yes sis, I can rock it.
How much?
- Well it depends on how much,
and what kind of hair you wanna use.
- Only the best.
- Okay well, $350.
- Okay, give me a moment let me...
- A moment?
- Hey Jay? (chuckles)
Can you cash me $350 for my hair
and a $100 for my nails?
Yeah you know I like to look good for you, baby.
(chuckles) Thank you.
Okay, see you tonight.
Okay, let's get started.
- Girl, you make that shit look so easy.
- It is, if you use what you got.
- You ain't got much.
- Don't you have clients?
- Nope, my next client doesn't get here
for another 30 minutes so that gives me plenty of a time
to harass your triflin' ass.
- Freedom, what's up with you?
- Girl nothing, I'm just working and trying
to get Malcolm to act right.
- You shouldn't be trying to get him to do anything,
he should be doing that on his own.
- If you listen to me,
you'll have him eating out of the palm of your hands.
- Don't you listen to her and her hoe tendencies.
- Hoe tendencies?
Who you calling a hoe?
- That would be you.
- Whatever Nicole, call me what you want,
but you see how I'm living.
- You living foul.
You ain't about to have my friend
out here thottin and boppin.
- Thottin and boppin?
Girl, see... (women laughing)
- Call it what you want Nicole.
Freedom, so what is Malcolm up to?
- His same old tricks.
- Girl, if you know he's cheating,
why don't you just leave him?
- Because I love him, and we've been together
for five years, y'all know that.
- (groans) Oh, so what, you've been together for five years?
That's five years of putting up with bullshit.
You can't change somebody who doesn't wanna change.
Now listen, to me you have two options.
Either leave him or just accept the man for who he is.
- Oh girl no, do not listen to her.
So you let him do him, you do you,
and then occasionally y'all just do each other.
(women laughing)
- No. - No, okay.
But just make sure that he keeps all the bills paid
and keeps money in your account,
while he out there chasing after them hoes.
- Money don't buy happiness, girl.
- You must not know where to shop.
- Shut up, stupid.
My client just walked in, I'll talk to y'all later.
- Oh, oh, he fine.
- Yes he is.
I'm gone introduce myself.
- No you're not, he is happily married.
- And what's that got to do with me?
- Girl, stay yo ass in that chair.
You're not about to mess up my money with your hoe ass.
- Your friend call me a hoe one time, okay...
- Listen, I told you stop.
- It's gone be her, me and these hoe hands.
- Okay hoe hands, all right, I ain't mad.
- Hey Chris come on, let me cut you up.
How's your wife doing?
- She's fine. - I'm glad.
I love black love, it's wonderful.
- Look, can we just try to have a good time?
- I always have a good time with your friends.
I ain't got an issue with them, I got an issue with you.
- Hey? - How you doing?
- I'm good, how you doing?
- I'm good girl.
- How's everything at the salon?
- The salon is doing good, I have my clients coming in.
- Girl, that's what's up. (Freedom laughing)
Malcolm?
- Where Todd at?
- Well him, Phoenix and her date are in there talking.
Stop being so rude.
- All right.
What's up bro?
- What's happening? - I'm chilling.
- Freedom, I mean no disrespect.
- I know. - But I can't stand his ass.
- Girl, I can't stand him sometimes too.
(women laughing)
Hi everyone? (indistinct murmuring)
- Hey Freedom, this Tee.
Tee this is Freedom, Malcolm's girlfriend.
- Hi, it's so nice to meet you.
- You need some help in the kitchen?
- I pretty much got everything done,
but you can keep me company, come on.
- I'm gonna join them, did you want me
to bring you something, babe?
- No I'm good babe, thank you.
- Damn, where you find her at?
She fine.
- Oh, I know.
- She fine, huh Todd?
- She all right.
- All right?
- Yo, y'all keep that down, man.
Y'all know Nina got dog ears.
That girl can hear everything.
Man she can even hear my thoughts sometimes.
- (scoffs) You so whipped.
- I'm not.
- Nah he ain't whipped, but he is well trained.
- Nah, I just respect my woman.
- You married, you not dead, bro.
- What that mean?
- You can look at other women from time to time.
- Nah, don't listen to him.
Nina is crazy.
Hell, I'm kind of even scared of her.
- You listen to me, you will be enjoying life more.
Look, I ain't got no problem with marriage, I don't.
I just can't see myself with one woman
every day and every night.
- That's what you do when
you in a committed relationship my man.
- So you mean to tell me you never get the urge
to wanna do something different?
Someone different?
- Yeah, but I love my wife
and nothing is worth risking what we got.
- If you say so.
I ain't ready for that life.
What me and Freedom got is cool, but I need a variety.
Don't nothing excite me more than a new piece of ass.
- Dinner's ready.
What y'all talking about?
- Nothing honey, we were just talking about the Texans.
Man their squad this year, they going all the way.
I can see it like it's right there.
- The Texans huh? - Yeah, the Texans.
- They losin'.
Texans...
- Good morning baby?
- (groans) Good morning sweetness?
What you doing up so early?
- Oh, I had to pick up an extra shift at the hospital.
- Extra shift?
What you need to work an extra shift for?
- I kind of fell behind and my light bill is late
and I'm in default on my student loans.
- And how'd you fall behind?
I mean, I pay majority of your bills,
you make decent money at the hospital
as an ultrasound tech, what's the problem?
- How it happened isn't important.
- Look, I can't afford-
- See you know what, that's why I didn't wanna ask you,
because I knew you weren't gonna help me.
But I'm a grown woman, I can pay my own bills.
I'm just gonna pick up some extra shifts at the hospital
for the next couple of months.
- Wait, wait.
Sweetness, our time is already limited.
You start working these extra shifts at the hospital,
well we'll have even less time.
- I know, but I don't have a choice.
I gotta do what I gotta do, I don't wanna lose my condo.
- Okay wait, listen.
Your lease is coming up for renewal soon, right?
So why not just move it to something cheaper?
I mean you paying what, $1,600 a month here?
I'm pretty sure you can find something much more reasonable.
- Give up my condo?
No I don't think so, I love it here.
- Well if you can't afford it, you need to move.
- I can afford it, it's just a little hard right now.
- Well you have to cut your expenses.
- So you want me to change my lifestyle,
so I can lay up with you?
I knew you didn't care about me,
I'm just some side piece to you.
- Hey calm down, you know I love you.
- Do you really? - Yes, I do.
- Okay, then maybe you can just help me out
for like a couple of months.
If you pay my rent for like a few months,
then I can get caught up on everything.
- Sweetness, I can't.
You know I got a wife at home to take care of,
and we got this baby on the way.
- Why you always throwing her in my face?
- What are you talking about?
I'm not throwing her up in your face.
- Yes, you are.
You love her more than you love me.
You think she's better than me.
- No I don't, but I'm obligated to her.
- Oh really?
You're obligated to her, but you're sleeping with me
and you're telling me that as soon as she has the baby
you're going to leave her?
You are nothing but a liar.
You been using me this whole time
and just selling me a dream.
You made me fall in love with you.
And I gave you my whole heart,
and I really got your back,
but you don't have mine and that really hurts.
- Sasha, babe I love you.
You have no idea how much I truly love you.
Look, I'll never lie to you
and I'm gonna always have your back.
Look, I can pay your rent for like two months,
but that's the best I can do.
- Thank you, baby.
Now come over here and let me show you
how much you really mean to me.
- Girl see, I love to put a smile on your face.
- Yes. - Oh my God, oh sweetness.
(upbeat rap music)
- Damn girl, I'm about to go home.
- Yeah, I'm about to get up on outta here too.
- Why y'all leavin' so early?
- Man it's getting late and I gotta work in the morning.
- Man, fuck work.
- This ain't even my thing,
I just came out to hang out with y'all.
And besides, I done reached my limit
on how much I'm spending for the night.
- This girl here.
I bought all the drinks, Todd paid for all the food.
- Right again.
- And you, you tip one stripper
and that was $5 with yo broke ass.
- Exactly, I reached my budget for the night.
- Whole cheap ass.
- Nah, I ain't cheap, I just got better things
to do with my money besides trick it off.
- Man whatever.
Look it is getting late bro,
don't you think you should be headed home?
Your woman waiting on you.
- And? - And?
You don't think you being a little disrespectful?
I mean it's after midnight bro.
- I go home when I want to,
and I ain't ready to go home yet.
- Your disrespectful ass.
- Why you even talking?
- Because if I was Freedom,
I really would've left your ass a long time.
- Well you ain't Freedom.
- Thank you black Jesus for that.
- Man let me ask you something,
so how would you feel if Freedom was in the club all night?
A strip club at that.
- Freedom a good woman, she ain't doing no shit like that.
- You right, she is a good woman.
So take your ass home, man.
- Look if y'all wanna go, leave.
I don't need nobody telling me what to do, all right?
Freedom gone be all right.
She might be a little mad, but she gone get over it.
- If you say so.
- I don't just say so, I know so.
- Oh really?
- Yeah I take good care of home.
I pay all the bills and I put it down in the bedroom.
So what more can she ask for?
Now you, you need to take your whipped ass home.
You know damn will Nina don't play that shit.
- Yeah she don't play that shit,
I ain't even gonna lie to you, I'm gone take my ass home.
- All right bro, stay safe.
- But don't you think it takes more than paying bills
and putting it down in the bedroom?
- How the hell you know?
- First off- - Get your hand out my face.
- And I love women so I know a thing or two
about what makes us happy.
- If you say so.
- You gone wish you listened to me.
(upbeat rap music) (indistinct chattering)
- What's up baby?
- You want a dance? - Hell yeah.
(upbeat rap music)
(Malcolm snoring)
- Get up. - what?
- Malcolm, get up.
- What man, fuck, damn.
- You'd be able to get up,
if you wouldn't come home at 5:00 O'clock in the morning.
So you not gone say anything?
Malcolm, I know you hear me.
So you think you're gonna keep coming home late
and I ain't gonna have no problem with it?
(shouts) Malcolm.
(instrumental rap music)
- He get on my nerve.
I don't know why I keep putting up with his shit.
- I don't either girl, I done told you before.
- I tried, I'm trying, I am.
- Hey?
- Look who rode in late as usual.
- Girl whatever, you know
the party don't start rocking til I get here.
Freedom, I was surprised to get a text from you
in the middle of the week.
- I wanted get out and unwind, I needed this.
- Lies.
Girl, shut up.
Malcolm didn't come in until this morning.
- Why you gotta be-
- She wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine.
That's all that is.
- I wanted to get out,
and give him a taste of his own medicine (laughs).
- Exactly.
- See sis, what did I tell you?
Stop chasing after that man.
Okay I done told you time and time again,
if he wants to be out in the streets, girl let him.
If he wanna sleep around, let him.
As long as he pays like he weighs, girl then you are good.
- Shut up, don't listen to her, she's stupid.
Look Freedom, just leave.
I don't care how he's paying.
If you're not happy, then bounce.
Life is too short to be trying
to keep somebody who don't wanna be kept.
- Look, I don't wanna talk about Malcolm y'all come on now.
I wanna have a good time, can we please?
- Fine, fine, no more Malcolm talk, all right?
- [Freedom] Thank you.
- So, what's up with you, Hoesha?
What you got going on?
- Okay, It's gone have to be enough
with the hoe jokes with you, okay?
They're getting old.
- What, no jokes, all true.
- I can't stand your ass.
- Well the feeling is mutual, love.
The only reason I tolerate you is
because you're Freedom's sister.
- See if you wasn't Freedom's best friend-
- If I wasn't her friend, what?
- Oh my God.
- You ain't gone do a damn thing.
- Y'all. - Shut yo ass up.
- I don't wanna listen to y'all fight all night, come on.
Seriously I wanna drink, okay?
- All right, all right.
- Okay, well, anyway, everything is going great with me.
I convinced Jay to pay my rent for two months.
- Girl, why that man paying you damn rent?
- Shit, why not?
Cause I'm tired of paying it.
- Tasha, that's wrong, that is so wrong.
- Okay girl, and so is he.
For God's sakes, he's the one who's cheating.
- He's cheating on his wife with you.
That makes you just as wrong, girl.
- Girl, no I'm not.
He's married, I'm not.
He made a commitment with her and God.
Baby, I'm single.
The only thing I'm committed to is myself.
And the only things that I'm committed to
are Gucci, Tiffany, Louis Vuitton, taking trips
and whatever else puts a smile on my face.
- I can't believe y'all are sisters.
I mean, y'all are different as night and day.
Like Freedom, you're so calm and sweet.
And Sasha, you just so selfish and reckless, she's selfish.
- Okay I'm gone stop you right there,
because I might be selfish but baby I am not reckless.
I'm a hustler and I'm gone get mine.
See Freedom and I are half sisters.
Same dad, different moms.
And Freedom was raised on love.
And me, I was raised on survival.
Our dad wasn't there for either one of us.
And Ms. Carol loved on Freedom,
and my mom didn't know how to love.
So I had to get it by any means.
- Okay well Freedom, since you wanna turn up,
why don't we order some shots?
- Yay, cause I'm ready, cause y'all just...
- Hi ladies, welcome
to Mimi's New Orleans Cafe & Oyster Bar.
How can I get y'all started?
- [Nicole] We were just about to go inside.
- Okay, cause I'm ready to do this,
y'all getting on my nerves.
- No, she's getting on my nerves.
(indistinct chattering)
- Malcolm?
(shouts) Malcolm.
(soft music)
Girl that bastard didn't come home
til like 5:00 O'clock in the morning.
- Girl what?
He is so trifling. - He is.
Nicole I am so tired.
- You've been saying you tired for six months.
- I am tired.
I just keep hoping he get his shit together.
- If you were truly tired,
you wouldn't be hoping for anything.
Why would he get it together Freedom?
- Because he loves me and don't wanna lose me.
- And that's the problem, he's not afraid of losing you.
And do you know why that is?
- Why?
- Every time he messes up,
there's never any consequences for his actions.
- This ain't true.
- Every time he messes up,
all you do is give him the silent treatment.
Then after a few days, he gets tired of you not speaking
to him, feeds you some bullshit, buys you some flowers,
gives you some weak ass apology that doesn't mean anything.
And then just like that,
you forgive him and the cycle continues.
- Okay, but do you know how much time
I've invested in Malcolm?
I mean what if I leave him and then he gets
his shit together for the next woman?
I can't let someone else reap
all the benefits of my hard work.
- Sis, I love you but bitch you need to get it together.
- You supposed to be my best friend.
- I am your best friend.
That's why I'm calling you out on your own bullshit.
It's all love, I promise.
I just want you to realize that you have the power.
(phone pinging)
I mean, if you really sick of him, then bounce.
If not, shut up and stop complaining, damn.
You good?
- What the fuck? - What's going on?
Free, who's texting you?
- Someone just sent me a conversation between Malcolm
and some woman, and pictures too.
- So what you gone do?
- Can you take my client at two?
I gotta handle some business.
- I got you.
- The food here is delicious.
- Yeah but not as delicious as you.
- Marcus.
- (chuckles) Well baby, it's true.
I mean look at you, you're smart, you're beautiful,
and you taste good.
The complete package.
- Would you stop, you're making me blush.
- You know I'm a man that says exactly what's on my mind.
Especially, when it comes to you.
- Yeah, I see.
- Yeah well I'm glad you're enjoying your lunch.
You know my boy, Jeff, he's the chef here right?
- Well please let him know that everything was wonderful.
- Will do.
So what are your plans for the rest of the day?
- Oh, nothing much.
Oh, I'll probably just go to the spa later.
- Oh really?
Okay well, you know I need a massage myself.
I'm off for the rest of the day, how about I go with you?
My treat.
- I mean, yeah I don't mind you coming with me.
But Marcus, you don't have to treat.
- Baby, baby, it'll be my pleasure, all right?
- Well, if you insist.
- I do.
Let's go.
(smooth jazz music)
- Jay, who the hell is that?
(indistinct mumbling)
- Asshole (groans).
I'm here to see Malcolm Bowman.
- And you are?
- His soon to be ex-girlfriend.
- Okay one moment, I'm gone call him.
Mr. Bowman, you have a visitor out here.
(indistinct muttering)
Well she say she your soon to be ex-girlfriend.
You better get out here now, she seems like she pissed.
Okay, okay.
He's coming right out, you wanna have a seat?
- No, I'll stand.
- What are you doing here?
- You're a lying piece of shit.
- We can talk about this.
- No, get your hands off of me (cries).
- Please. - What?
- Please don't do this here.
- Am I embarrassing you?
Are you feeling stupid?
That's exactly how you got me looking, stupid.
I mean I have looked like a damn fool.
- Baby, what are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
- Go back to that hoe you've been fucking
for the last three months.
- I only been fucking you.
- Stop, here's most of your shit.
And the rest of that company's boxes and bags,
you got 24 hours to come pick it up or I will burn it.
Goodbye Malcolm.
- Don't leave like that. - Get your hands off me.
- All right. - Don't look at me.
- All right.
Fucking embarrassing me.
Sorry about that.
- You should be ashamed of yourself, ugh.
- Damn nigga, you ain't shit.
- Okay. - Y'all messy.
I'll be with y'all in a minute.
- Hey get your shit and get out.
- Come on, come on, don't do that.
Don't do that, man come on.
- Hold up calm down Freedom.
Damn, y'all can work this out, man.
- Thank you. - What?
- Say Freedom I don't want no smoke, I'm just the driver.
- Then help your boy get his shit
and get the hell outta my house.
- Come on Malcolm let's just get your stuff and go.
- Nah, nah, fuck that, why you tripping?
- What?
- I can't believe you take some hoe word over mines.
We been together for five years Freedom, five years.
- You can't tell the truth for nothing, can you?
Can't tell the truth. - I am telling you the truth.
- Okay, read that.
- Nah, that's a lie.
- And the pictures Malcolm?
- I don't know, I don't know.
That looks Photoshopped, that's Photoshop.
- Really?
- I ain't even gotta see it,
I can just tell this sounds like a lie.
- Thank you, all his ass do is lie.
- I don't know how she did that, but that's not me.
That don't even look like me.
- Todd and Phoenix because I consider y'all like family,
I'm giving y'all 10 minutes to get his shit
and get outta my house, otherwise I'm getting my gun.
- Oh, you ain't gotta tell me twice.
- Whoa, are you serious right now?
- Hell yeah she's serious.
- You wanna find out?
- Hey, I don't think she playing, she's serious bro.
So let's go on get your stuff and let's go on leave.
I ain't trying to be on the news, man.
- Hold up, hold up, hold up.
What about the shit we bought together?
- It's mine now.
- That ain't fair. - Fair?
What's not fair is I have wasted five years
on your lying, cheating ass.
You got nine minutes now.
- Yeah, I'm gone meet y'all in the car, excuse me.
- I'm not gonna be able to get all my stuff
in just a few minutes.
- Well, get what's important then
'cause the rest gone get burnt.
(dramatic instrumental music)
- What do you want, Jay?
- I've been calling you all day.
How come you ain't answered your phone?
- I've been busy.
And what is so important that you keep blowing me up?
- What was that shit about at lunch?
- What do you mean? - Man, you know what I mean?
- No, I don't, so get to the point.
I'm not about to keep going back and forth with you.
- Who's that dude you was with?
- A friend. - A friend?
- Yes, you don't know what the word friend means?
- Well, y'all sure looked friendly.
- And your point?
- My point is I don't want you seeing other dudes.
How many times I gotta tell you that?
- I don't remember asking you what you want.
- I said- - Look, you have some nerve.
You have a whole wife at home and you think you can dictate
to me what I can and can't do?
- As long as I'm paying the bills, you gone do what I say.
- Oh you think so? - Man I know so.
- No you got it twisted,
'cause I don't give a damn what bills you pay.
I am a grown ass woman and I will do whatever I want,
when I want and how I want.
- No, no, no you will not.
- Watch me.
If you want me to stop dating other dudes,
then you need to leave your wife.
Show me that you are committed to this relationship.
- Sweetness, I can't do that right now, I told you that.
- That's exactly what I thought.
Goodnight, Jay.
- Sasha, Sasha.
- Is everything okay babe?
- Oh yeah baby.
That was my sister Freedom.
Her and her boyfriend had got into an argument,
so she just needed to vent.
You ready to go back to bed?
- Of course.
- (chuckles) Well come on then.

* I wanna save you from ever feeling pain *
* Don't you be afraid I'll hide you from the rain *
* I would be the one that take out other hurricanes *
* I never hesitate, I do it to amaze *
* And never, ever fail I set everything ablaze *
* I'm rolling, rolling, rolling *
* I'm sick of being solo *
* I'm rolling out of control *
* I'm tired of being alone *
* I'm rolling, rolling, rolling *
* I'm sick of being solo *
* I'm falling out of control *
- Freedom, you okay?
Freedom, girl are you okay?
- Oh I'm cool, why?
- I just been talking to you and you haven't said one word.
- Sorry Tia, girl my mind is a million miles away.
- I know.
You thinking about Malcolm?
- Yeah.
- Poor baby.
- I just miss him that's all.
- Girl why?
- That's what I asked her her.
- Because he my man.
- Your ex-man.
- But I still love him.
- Look, you deserve better.
You can't turn a frog into a prince.
That only happens in the fairy tales.
- I know.
- Let it go Freedom.
- Well, have you talked to him?
- No, but he's been calling,
but I've been ignoring all of his calls and his texts.
- And you should continue to.
- Well, maybe she needs to hear what he has to say.
- Girl, why?
All he do is lie. - Thank you.
- See and I'm tired of the lies.
I mean, for once I wish he would tell the truth.
I can deal with the truth,
but the lies just send me into a rage.
- I feel you, okay?
My breakup with Ryan was extremely hard.
If you ever need somebody to talk to girl, just call me.
I'm a great listener.
- Thank you girl I appreciate that.
- Look sis, I know you hurting right now,
but trust me when I say it's for the best.
Malcolm is Todd's best friend, and I know some things
that I would never repeat back to you.
Find you a new love.
- Things like what?
- Things that would break your heart into a million pieces.
- Oh Jesus.
- Well, at this point, it don't even matter.
You already know everything you need to know.
- Love sucks.
- No it doesn't, just with that nigga.
(women laughing)
- That's easy for you to say, your man is so great.
Todd is wonderful (mocks).
- Girl, he isn't wonderful and he is not perfect.
- What made him get his shit together?
- Fear. (women laughing)
You know that nigga's scared of her.
- No, no he isn't.
- Oh, okay. - Okay, maybe a little.
- A lot.
- Look, when I first met Todd,
everybody told me he wasn't no good.
But there was something about him
that just drew me in.
But he was already at that point
in his life where he wanted something long term.
But you know how men are,
they always think they missing out on something.
Afraid to give up a little something,
just to gain everything.
And when I found out that he was seeing somebody else
besides me, I let him go.
And it took three months of him calling
before I answered his phone call.
And another three months before I even met up with him.
But after he saw I wasn't standing for his shit
and that he was gonna miss out on something good,
oh, he got that ass together.
- (laughs) Well maybe Malcolm will get his shit together.
- Who?
Did she say Malcolm? - Probably not.
- Oh, hey Jay what's up?
- Hey, Freedom? - What's going on?
- I was hoping Sasha would be here.
- Oh no, she ain't got no appointment today.
- Well, can you tell her I stop by looking for her?
- Sure, you okay?
- Not really.
She mad at me and don't want to talk to me.
- (scoffs) I'll tell her you stopped by.
- Okay, thank you.
Ladies.
- He look familiar.
- Oh girl that's just Jay, one of Sasha's boyfriends.
- Oh, so she's dating him?
(women laughing) - Dating?
If that's what you wanna call it.
- Well, I mean how long she's been seeing him?
- Girl about a year now, I think.
- Hi I'm looking for Freedom Gidrick.
- I'm Freedom.
- These are for you. - Oh thank you.
- Can I get you to sign here?
- I sure will.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Aw.
- [Nina] Girl throw that shit in the trash.
(women laughing)
- Damn, Nina (laughs).
(chill hip hop music)
- Best friend, I'm so glad you back in town.
Man, I miss you.
- You know I couldn't let this guy
hang with you, right?
- How long you gonna be here?
- I don't know, maybe a month or two.
It all depends on how long they take us to finish
this paperwork at the new location.
- Oh, so are you staying with me?
- Hell no. (Freedom laughing)
- Why not?
- Man, I'm not trying to be caught up
with none of that bullshit that you be having going on.
- And what bullshit is that?
- You having these fools trick out this money to you.
- Okay so it's not tricking if they got it.
- Sasha, you're like a sister to me,
but you give more rides than the Metro.
(Freedom laughing)
- Are you trying to imply that I'm a hoe?
- If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's a duck.
- King that's cold, I can't believe you said that.
- Sasha know I love her.
- Uh-uh, if that's how you show love, then hate me.
- Okay (laughs).
- So Freedom, word on the street is
that you finally leaving Malcolm alone?
- Word on the street, huh?
Or did Sasha open up her big mouth and says something?
- Come on, you know Sasha can't hold her own piss,
much less a secret.
- Yeah.
If I wanted to be insulted all night,
I would've just invited Nicole.
- And you should've invited her.
Man that girl got that ass.
I've been trying to holler at her for the longest,
but she ain't even trying to hear me.
But Freedom, so what's up with you and Malcolm?
You leave him alone or what?
- I don't know and I don't wanna talk about it.
- Well, I think you should start dating again.
I mean the quickest way to get over someone
is to get under someone.
- I agree.
- Man look, my frat brother just moved out here recently.
Real cool dude, maybe y'all should link up,
y'all probably vibe well together.
- I'm not ready for all that, I'm done.
- Why not?
- Because I still love Malcolm.
- Oh, no sis, what's love got to do it?
- Not a damn thing.
It's one date.
The worst that can happen is
that y'all don't like each other,
but at least you got out the house.
- Fine okay, whatever. - Thank you.
- Look, I gotta go.
I gotta go to the salon early tomorrow so...
- Can you drop me off at the hotel?
- Hell no.
- Come on, I Ubered over here.
- Fine, okay, damn.
- Man y'all crazy, come on here (laughs).
- Good to seeing you Sash.
- Aw, you too.
- Owen? - What the fuck?
- What?
- I need to talk to you.
- What do you want Jay?
- I need to talk to you, it's been weeks.
- Look, I'll talk to y'all later, yeah.
- Okay.
- No improvement.
See, that's that shit I be talking about right there.
- What do you want Jay? - You.
- No, 'cause when you had me,
you didn't know how to treat me.
- Man I've been outside your door waiting
for you to open it.
- You what?
You know you sound real crazy right now?
- I am cr...
I'm crazy about you.
Sweetness, I miss you.
Look you right, I can't stop you from seeing other dudes.
It's just the thought of you having some other nigga kiss
on you and touch on you, man that does something to me.
I already told you soon as she have the baby I'm leaving.
And it can just be me and you.
- I guess. - I'm serious.
You believe me?
- Yes, I believe you.
- You forgive me?
- Yes Jay, I forgive you.
- I brought you a gift.
- And you know I love gifts.
- I know (laughs).
- Oh, Jay it's beautiful, I love it.
Can you stay the night?
- (sighs) Sweetness, I can't.
- Okay, well let's just make the most
of the time you do have here.
- Well, you know I ain't got that much time.
- You never need that much time.
(both laughing)
(phone ringing)
(phone buzzing)
- Hello, hey, hey, please just don't hang up.
Just listen to me.
- It's late.
- I love you.
- Sure you do.
- No for real, I do.
- And?
- And I'm sorry.
- (chuckles) Sorry for what?
Sorry for cheating, sorry for lying,
or sorry cause you got caught?
- I'm sorry for everything.
I'm sorry for lying, I'm sorry for cheating,
and most of all I'm sorry for hurting you.
- That's the first time you actually admitted it.
- I know.
Look, It's time I start owning my shit.
I'm sorry for real.
And I'll do anything to show you how much I want you back.
I love you.
- I love you too.
- Can I come home?
- Goodbye, Malcolm.
- Hold up, fuck.
- I think that's a good thing that you got.
- Boy, you need to stop.
- Why?
I mean, you know I've been trying to get
at you for a minute, right?
And every time I come to the H,
I try to get you to go out with me.
- And every time I tell you no.
- And why is that?
I'm a good dude, just ask Freedom and Sasha.
They been knowing me for years.
- Look, no offense to Freedom,
but she doesn't have a very good track record
when it comes to picking out good dudes.
And I don't believe shit Sasha has to say.
- Aw man, well.
What do I got to do?
- Give up. (women laughing)
- So Freedom, you ready for tonight?
- No, not really.
- What, why?
- What are you wearing?
- I was thinking like a blazer and some jeans.
That'd be cute, right?
- Nah, you should probably wear a dress.
Jeans don't really show your curves so much.
- It's just dinner and drinks, it ain't like it's...
- And what does that mean?
Look sis you want your first impression
to be your best impression.
- I got this blue dress, that'd be cute.
That was Malcolm's favorite dress.
- Oh girl, don't nobody care about Malcolm.
- Damn.
- Oh girl, you can wear my favorite black dress.
You know, it'd be like boom, bang, pow.
- Now boom, bang, no sis,
I've seen that dress and it's not...
I mean I need something a little more covered up, you know?
- Hi ladies? - Hey Tia, what's up?
- Hey Sasha?
So Sasha what's good?
- Tia, what do you want?
- I have a friend that wants to meet you.
- Oh a friend, is it Ryan?
- (laughs) Funny.
No bitch, it's not Ryan.
- You gone let her call me a bitch in your shop?
- What did you do sis?
- Yeah she in here thinking she cute.
Come in and put this bitch in her place.
- Hold on Tia, I don't want know mess.
Not today Tee, not today.
- Nope, I didn't come in here to start any mess, okay?
Sasha and I have a mutual friend in common
and I just wanted them to meet.
So the other day when I was here Jay came by
and I knew I recognized him from somewhere.
But it didn't dawn on me
until I was halfway home who he was.
- That's cause your dumb ass slow.
- He's married to my coworker Brandi, imagine that.
And I told her all about your bitch ass Sasha.
- Girl, I don't give a fuck.
- Hi, I'm Brandi, Jay's wife.
- Yes, I know exactly who you are.
- Oh, so you know who I am?
The funny thing is I just found out
about you two days ago.
- Isn't that funny?
Well, maybe that's something
you should take up with your husband.
(women laughing)
- So she's one of those, Tia.
- She's one of those. - She's one of those.
- Excuse me, one of what?
- Those wanna be wifey slick bitches who can't get a man,
so they try to get with everyone else's.
- You know this is quite entertaining,
but trust me, I'm not trying to be anybody's wife.
You see, I don't want your man, but he does want me.
And I'm only interested in what's in his wallet.
So sweetie, this sounds like a conversation you need
to be having with Jay, because your issue
is with him, not me.
- No, sweetie, my issue is with you.
And if I wasn't pregnant, I would drag your trifling hoe ass
up and down this mother fucking salon.
- Oh really?
Okay, see you probably could do that,
but it wouldn't make a difference.
You see, because your husband would still want me
and I guarantee you, Jay would be at my front door
before you could even make it home.
- Beat her ass.
- Stay your thot ass away from my God damn husband.
- Now see I can't do that,
because as long as he continue to pay how he weighs,
I'm gonna continue to entertain him.
So you just gone have to put up with
this little entanglement that we have
and share your husband.
But no worries sweetie, as soon as I'm done with him,
I'm gonna send him right back home to you.
- Whoop that hoe ass. - Ladies shut up.
(indistinct yelling)
- She's not worth it.
- Bitch, watch your mother fucking back,
'cause Karma is a mother fucker.
- Oh you mean watch it like this.
- Fuck you hoe. - Bitch, fuck you.
- See once again, that's that shit I be talking about.
- Oh girl, you are trifling.
- Sasha you wrong.
- I know you better not mess with my man.
- We've seen your man.
Don't nobody want Wilbur's sloppy fat ass.
- Girl, I know you lying, it's cold out here.
It's big nigga cuffing season.
(women laughing) - I can't.
(slow piano music)
- Bro. - What's up?
- How many times I gotta tell you to use a coaster
and start picking up behind yourself?
Like I'm not your maid and I'm damn sure not your woman.
- Yeah you right, my bad.
- All right, well you want something to eat?
I'm about to warm up yesterday's leftovers.
- (burps) I ate that already.
- Really? - What?
- Man that's it, I can't take no more, man, you gotta go.
You leave your shit all around the house
like I'm Molly the maid or something.
Then you got it smelling like ass
and corn chips up in here.
Then I can't even have company,
'cause you camping on my damn couch.
You go to work, then the strip club and that's it.
Like, I love you bro, but you gotta go.
- And where I'm supposed to go?
Nina already made Todd put me out.
- You gotta get your woman back.
- How, I've been trying. - No, you haven't.
You sent some cheap flowers
and you call from time to time to beg.
Like you broke her heart.
You gotta go all out to get your woman back.
- What I'm supposed to do? - Be consistent.
Your words gotta line up with your actions.
she needs to know that you're committed.
- Yeah, You right. - I know.
- I'm gone work on getting my baby back.
- Good, And in the meantime, you can start by getting off
my couch and getting your funky ass in the shower (laughs).
- Are you Brian? - Yes, I am.
- (chuckles) Hi? - Hey?
- I've heard some great things about you.
- Oh really?
- Yes, and I see they are all true.
- (laughs) And how do you know that?
- Well, King said you were beautiful and that's true.
So the rest must be true too.
- Thank you.
- I'm sorry. (both chuckling)
Have you ever been here before?
- No, this is my first time.
- You'll love the food. - Okay.
- Do you like poetry?
- Oh yeah, love it (laughs).
- Cool, after we eat we can hang out here,
they have some open mic poetry at nine coming up
and I heard they're pretty good.
- Sounds like a plan.
- Welcome to MC, may I take your order?
(romantic music)
* I wish we could be perfect *
* Cause lately, baby we've been so far gone *
* I like to think that I'm worth it *
* But you keep me questioning whether I'm right or wrong *
* When I look in your eyes I see the love you speak *
* The love you say that you have for me *
* But when we're near my body can't feel thing *
- I had a really good time tonight.
- So did I.
- Think we can hang out again soon?
- I'd like that (giggles).
- Be careful, I hope to see you again.
- Okay.
Ryan? - Yes?
- I really had a good time tonight
and I don't live far from here.
I enjoyed your company, I don't want this night to end.
So, you wanna come over?
We can watch a movie or something.
- You sure? - Yeah.
- Okay I'll follow you.
(romantic music)
- [King] Okay hold on my turn, my turn, bam.
- Okay, okay, I see.
Hold on, all right wait a minute.
- [Sasha] Okay King. - You already know.
You already know what it is.
The King is the top of the castle in this jungle baby.
(indistinct talking)
Damn Freedom, you was just supposed
to go out with him and have lunch, that's it.
Not smash. (women laughing)
You must have really pulled out all your tricks
because he been texting me nonstop asking
why you blew him off.
- I'm not trying to blow him off.
Things just got outta control and I didn't wanna be alone.
One thing led to another and it just kinda happened.
- And you just kinda fell on it?
- Whatever. (women laughing)
- You need to tell him something.
Don't leave that man hanging.
- I mean, Like what,
he didn't give you no head or something?
Or was the dick just that trash?
- Actually, sis it was good.
(women laughing)
- Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
If it was so good, then why the hell are you avoiding him?
- I don't know, I just...
A part of me just feels bad
for giving it up on a first date.
Y'all know how it is.
- Girl, and?
You had him just how he had you.
- True.
- Oh, hold on, hold on.
First of all, we don't care about that whole giving it up
on the first date mess.
Shit, that just means you know exactly what you want.
(women laughing)
Besides, he understands that you just got out of
a relationship, so he knows that you not looking
for anything too serious.
So just go out with the man, go with the flow.
- Freedom, he's not expecting you to marry him.
- I know.
Part of me just feel bad,
like I cheated on Malcolm or something.
- It's natural for you to feel that way, girl.
I mean, you still love him.
- I do, God I do.
But you know what, no, it's time for me, I gotta move on.
I gotta move on.
- I agree, just move on.
But just know letting go is not easy.
- Yeah.
- What the fuck?
What are you doing here Jay?
- Brandi kicked me out.
- Are you serious? - Very.
- Shit, I don't know why you brought your ass to my house.
- Will you just please open the door.
- So why she put you out? - Man, why you think?
- I don't know.
- Because of you.
Man, you could've at least have told me
what happened at the salon.
She came up there yesterday,
man, you let me walk right into a war zone.
- First of all, this is not my fault,
so you need to watch your attitude.
And second, it slipped my mind
and I thought you could handle her,
I didn't think she would actually put you out.
- What woman in her right mind,
wouldn't put her cheating husband out?
- I don't know, so what you gonna do?
- Man I don't know.
I wasn't prepared for this.
- Okay well you gonna have to find you somewhere to stay,
so you can get you a hotel room?
- A hotel room? - Yes, a hotel room.
- Between paying a mortgage, your bills and now your rent,
I can't afford no hotel room.
Nah, I'm staying here.
- Here?
- Yes here, I pay bills here, why not?
- No, you got a lot going on over there,
I don't think that's a good idea.
I mean, I need my space.
Freedom be coming over here,
dealing with her shit with Malcolm.
My girls be coming over here,
ae be doing our brunch and stuff.
- Fuck your space.
Bitch, I pay bills here, therefore I will be staying
here.
This isn't a request.
- Look, okay, you can stay here for a few days.
- Thank you, how gracious of you.
Anyway, did you tell Brandi you was only
with me for my money?
- I never said anything like that.
- Sasha, Brandi wouldn't lie to me.
She knows what'll happen if I catch her in a lie.
- And I do? - Did you say it?
- No, I didn't.
You really think that I would use you for your money?
- I'm sorry.
Sometimes I just don't know what to think.
It's just been a long day.
- Yes it has. - I'm going to bed.
(door banging)
- Shit.
* Just can't be solo no more *
* This love goes up, down, in, out, back, forth *
* Sometimes can't take it no more *
* First let me tell you I don't need no space *
* Rather be put into a real good place *
* Time of the essence you've been at my door *
* Come let me show you what's it's made for *
* You want it, I got you *
* Lay your body right here *
* I need it, you got me *
* Laying down my fears *
* No more gangsta play no clue, we got work to do *
* So let me show you I'm true *
* 'Cause this love goes up, down, in, out, back, forth *
* Sometimes can't take it no more *
* Back, forth, out, in, it's down, it's up *
* Just can't be solo no more *
* Let's get ready for this encore *
* My love got everything you need and more *
* Don't fight the feeling baby *
* It's just me and you *
* Come through our love is the truth *
* I got you *
What's up?
Look man, Jay is getting on my last nerve.
- So what's going on now?
- Only time I get away from him is when he's at work.
And even then he just calls and text me all day long.
So I tried to take a break from him the other day
and went to the grocery store, you know he showed up,
talking about I was taking too long.
I gotta get him out my house.
- So have you told him that he needs to leave?
- Yes, but he say he ain't leaving
since he paid my rent there.
- Well start paying your own damn bills,
it ain't like that you can't afford them.
See what your problem is that you always trying
to get over on somebody.
Now you gone and got caught in some bullshit
that's gone get real ugly.
- Oh wait, hold up, 'cause you know
you be on your bullshit too,
and your ass stay running through women.
Every time I talk to you, you dealing with somebody new.
- You see but I don't play games and I always keep it real,
so they know exactly what it is from the jump.
- Okay, well it's a little bit too late
for me to start being honest right now.
And Jay is just driving me up the wall.
He's tracking my every move.
He wants to be with me all the time.
I don't know how much more of this I can take from him.
I actually might have to kick his ass out.
- Want me to force him to leave?
- No, no, I can handle it.
You know I don't want you getting involved.
- See, I told you that that dude was off,
he's just too clingy.
But see it was easy for you
to overlook that because of his wife.
But now that she done kicked him out,
he's focusing all his attention on you.
- You know I even tried talking to Brandi.
- His wife?
- Yes, I was desperate.
- What'd you say to her?
- I practically begged her to take him back.
- Damn. - What?
- That's crazy.
I mean the side chick asking the main chick
to take her man back.
What'd she say?
- She laughed at me and told me I could have his ass.
- And I don't blame her.
Look, by the way he been acting towards you,
I can only imagine how he be treating her back at the house.
- Look, I know what I gotta do.
I'm gonna talk to Marcus, spin the story a little bit
that way he can help me get Jay out.
And after Jay leaves my house, I'm changing the locks.
I'm just gonna stay with Marcus for a few days
until things start to calm down.
- You gotta stop living your life like this.
- You right, you right man, I know.
I just think I'ma spend some more time with Marcus,
whenever I can get away from Jay
because I really like Marcus.
I think I'm trying to see where things can go with him.
- Look at you, trying to be with one person
and stop playing that money game.
- I mean it's time.
It's time for me to do something different,
'cause this is just exhausting.
I'm tired of lying, I'm tired of playing games
and don't get me wrong,
I love all the gifts, all the trips and living bill free,
but it is just not working anymore.
And then after a while,
they start thinking they own your ass.
I can just get whatever I want from Marcus.
You know he got more my money than a little bit,
if you know what I'm saying.
(King laughing)
(slow hip hop music)
- Hey?
- Hey, how you doing?
- I'm good, how are you?
- Good, you looking beautiful as usual.
- Thank you, you so sweet (laughs).
- Man, I'm so glad that you-
- Freedom?
- Malcolm, what are you doing here?
- I need to talk to you.
- No, we ain't got shit to talk about.
How'd you know I was even here?
- I followed you.
- You on some stalker shit now?
- Hey look, homie I don't even know you.
- You damn right you don't know me,
so I suggest you mind your mother fucking business.
- Yo, anything that concerns Freedom is my business.
- You got me fucked up, Freedom my woman.
- Your ex-woman.
- You gone always be mine, girl.
- (laughs) You used to date this clown right here?
- I'm about 10 seconds from beating your mother fucking ass.
- Dude.
- Malcolm, wait stop, y'all please.
- Tell fam to stop talking so much shit.
- You ain't about that action.
- Stop, y'all please.
Brian, give us a few minutes okay?
- For what?
- Let me just talk to him.
- All right, I'll give you 10 minutes.
- Malcolm, what you want?
- You, baby I want you.
- No, you don't want me
and I ain't got time for this bullshit.
- I'm not on bullshit.
Would I be following you around if I didn't want you?
- If you wanted me, then why you cheat on me?
- Cause I was stupid. - And you still stupid.
- I had to lose you to realize what I had.
- And what'd you have Malcolm?
- Everything.
- Yeah, you did.
- I was so fucking stupid I just felt like-
- You know what, we already established this conversation
and it's the same shit over and over and over again.
You love me, you want me back and you sorry, and.
- I always knew you was a good woman,
I just didn't want be with just one woman.
It made me feel good to be with multiple women at one time.
The thrill of the chase, the challenge, it boosted my ego.
- And I got hurt in the process.

Look, I'll spend the rest of my life making this up to you.
These last couple months been bad for me baby.
I don't want nobody else but you.
I'm ready to be the man you need me to be.
- Why, why should I believe you?
- Because I know what it feel like to be without you,
and I don't never want to feel that again.
Look, I don't want to just take you back as my girl.

- I've been calling and texting you.
- And? - What you mean and?
- I told you I was with King.
- So what that gotta do with you not responding to me?
- Look, I just needed some alone time
with my best friend peacefully.
He's leaving for Chicago in a couple of days.
- I don't give a damn who you was with.
You answer the phone when
you see me calling and texting you.
You acting like y'all more than just best friends.
- Whatever, we've been knowing each other
since we were kids and he's like a brother to me.
- Let you tell it.
I'd better not find out it's more than that.
- Look Jay, this isn't working.
- What do you mean?
- You need to leave.
- I already told you I'm not leaving
as long as I'm paying the bills here.
- I don't need you paying the bills here.
So you need to get all your shit and get out.
- Why?
What's not registering?
Do you not understand, are you that slow?
Look, this living arrangement ain't working for me.
And this situation with you and me,
it ain't working for me either.
- So, you feel like you don't need me anymore?
- I don't need you.
- Since when? - I never needed you.
- So you feel like it can be over just like that.
- Look Jay, you just need to get out.
- I've invested too much time and money on you.
Your ass is bought and paid for.
- Bought, excuse me?
Nigga get the fuck-
(Sasha crying)
Jay, you're hurting me.
- Sweetness, we got a forever thing.
I done sacrificed too much.
My marriage, my home, my son,
Brandi ain't ever gone let me see my baby boy.
And I gave that all up for you.
And you think I'm gone allow you
to leave me and I have nothing?
You got me fucked up.
- Let go of my face.
- Now, what do you want for dinner?
I feel like seafood.
- Look, can you please hurry up and come, he won't leave.
- Who's that Sasha?
- Look Jay, look I tried to do this peacefully and quietly.
- Who did you call?
(door banging)
- This is the police, open the door.
(soft music)
* I woke you will be with me *
* And I woke you will be with me *
* I woke, you will be with me *
* 'cause I'm lost can't see through my envy *
* It's over, over, you chose her, chose her *
(soft music)
- Where Freedom at?
- She canceled.
- Again? - Yep.
- It's my last night in town,
and I was really hoping that we got a chance to hang out
before I flew back out.
- She's been running behind Malcolm.
Ever since he gave her that little ring,
she done lost her whole damn mind.
- Do you think he's changed?
- I hope so. - Me too.
Whatever happened to Brian?
- (laughs) Let me tell you.
She was out with Brian when Malcolm showed up
out of nowhere and proposed.
- Have you talked to him?
- Yeah, I mean his feelings were hurt.
I mean he truly liked Freedom.
Despite everything that happens between them,
he really wishes the best for her.
He's a really good dude.
- That sucks.
Well, what's good with you, Sasha?
I heard you all in love.
- I wouldn't necessarily say all that.
Maybe deep like, a very intense, deep like.
(women laughing)
- So tell us about this mystery man.
- (sighs) What can I say about Marcus?
He's sweet, generous, handsome, and he is so into me.
- But does he have money?
- Girl of course, I do not date broke men.
I like him so much, I haven't even asked him for any gifts.
- What? - What?
- Are you serious? - Very.
I mean, he's giving me gifts,
but I haven't asked for anything.
- I'm happy for you Sasha.
- Thanks.
- Have you talked to Jay?
- No, not in a while.
I mean at first he was calling and texting me all day
and all night, but I haven't heard from him in a few weeks.
- Wait a minute, how did he act when you put him out?
- Girl, once he realized those officers were real,
he finally calmed his little ass down,
got his shit and bounced.
- So the officers were friends of Marcus?
- Yeah.
- So you still staying at Marcus's house
or did you finally go back home?
- Girl no, I went home last night.
- Be careful Sasha, I do not trust Jay.
- I'm good.
I think he's moved on just like me.
- So we got Freedom engaged to Malcolm,
Sasha's dating Marcus.
So what's up Nicole, plan on giving me a chance yet?
- Nope, not at all.
- Damn. (Sasha laughing)
- Damn baby, that was good girl, I ain't gonna lie.
I know you glad you stayed home.
- Yes I am baby.
These last couple of weeks have been the best.
- They really have.
- And I can't wait to get married (squeals).
Thought about a date yet?
- Nah, not really.
- I'm thinking the end of the year.
- That's too soon, baby.

- I'm ready too, but let's just take our time,
I don't want to rush into it.
- Baby we not rushing.

Plus we've been together for five years, that's a long time.
Besides, things are finally good with us

We supposed to be relaxing and enjoying each other.
- Okay, but let's pick a date soon though.

- But it's a possibility?
- Yeah.
- How long have you known?
- Huh?
- If you can huh you can fucking hear me.
How long?
- Since the beginning of her pregnancy.
- I don't know if I wanna hit you
or slap the taste outta your mouth.
Why didn't you tell me?
- Cause I didn't wanna hurt you, baby.
- Really? - I didn't.
- How many times you gonna break my heart Malcolm?
How many times?
- Freedom I told you I don't know
if the baby is mines or not.
- You should never had in the first place.
Keep your dick in your pants.
When were you gonna tell me?
When were you going to tell me?
- I was trying to find the right time to tell you baby.
- (scoffs) Really, when was that?

When we did our vows, what?
I can't, I'm done with you, I'm so done with you.
- You don't mean that. - Oh, I mean that.
- You don't mean that. - I'm done with you.
I'm done.
- So you just not gone marry me no more?
You just gone throw it all away like this?
I promise you I can be faithful to you, baby.
- Right, yeah.
- I haven't been with another woman in months.
Baby...
- Go to hell Malcolm.
Go the fuck to hell.
- Baby, please. - No, get off of me.
- Freedom.
- Girl, I can't believe him.
- A baby? - Yes (scoffs).
- Wow, I don't even know what to say.
- Ain't nothing to say.
- So is this it?
- Girl, I am not about to be stepmom to his love child.
- Wait, what if the baby isn't his?
- It don't even matter at this point.
Girl this man has lied to me over and over and over again.
All he do is cheat and lie.
I deserve better.
- Yes you do.
- And plus, from them text messages I read,
it sound like this girl's crazy as hell.
I mean, he in for some serious drama
and I ain't here for it.
- Are you serious?
- Girl she done been to this man job several times
and talking about destroying his car (laughs).
- Oh girl, you know how much he loves that car.
- Exactly (laughs).
- Well hey, I don't feel sorry for him at all,
he deserves everything he gets.
- Girl, every piece of it.
- So you're really done?
- Girl, I'm done done.
- What if he comes back up here trying to get you back?
- Girl, please no, I'm a straight clown, you already
know.
One thing that Malcolm Bowman does not like
to be is embarrassed.
- I know that's right.
What about the ring, did you give his ring back?
- Hell no, I kept it. (women laughing)
- Girl you are trifling.
- Girl, I earned this, what you talking about?
(indistinct chatter)
We're not open yet love.
- I know, but I need to talk to Sasha.
- I remember you, you're Brandi, Jay's wife.
- Yes, I am.
Look, I really need to talk to Sasha.
- Well, she don't have an appointment today,
but I'm her sister Freedom, can I help you?
- Well, I guess you could.
You really need to tell your sister
she needs to watch her back.
- Whoa, don't come here threatening my sister.
Wait a minute.
- I'm not the one threatening her.
I'm only here to warn her about Jay.
- Wait, what?
- What's going on?
- Jay has some real mental problems.
- What? - I don't-
- Damn, did he do that?
- Yes, and he has done way worse than this.
- Worse?
- Okay wait a minute, have a seat.
Please have a seat.
When did all this happen?
- Jay has always had a temper.
Sometimes he would curse me out, and other times...
A little over a year ago, his whole attitude changed.
He wasn't violent and mean, he was nice and gentle.
At first, I thought he had changed
because he stopped drinking as much.
And when I got pregnant,
he was so happy and things were so great.
I thought I was gonna have the perfect family.
So when Tia told me about Sasha, I was so hurt.
I felt like everything was finally right between us
and she was taking it all away from me.
It wasn't until I confronted him about her
that I realized he was only being nice
because he felt guilty about cheating.
And with Sasha in the picture,
he wasn't obsessed with me anymore.
So when I confronted him, he was apologetic at first,
but he told me how much he loved Sasha
and wanted to be with her.
I was so pissed.
I told him that if he would ever leave,
he would never see his son once he was born.
But it wasn't until I told him about Sasha only wanting
to be with him for his money that he went crazy.
I had to lock myself in my bedroom until he left.
And after he left, I was so happy.
I had so much peace.
And then he came back and I let him,
and it has been pure hell ever since (cries).
- [Freedom] Oh my God.
- Jay doesn't care.
He beats my ass, apologizes and does it over and over again.
But this time it's worse,
the beatings are worse than ever.
He raves about Sasha all the time, he hates her.
Last night was bad, he talked about her all night.
Talked about how he wanted to kill her.
He said some horrific things.
I really think he's gonna do something.
- I need to call my sister, I think he's gonna do something.
- Look, I only came here before I left to warn her.
I'm leaving Houston, I'm going to Georgia.
- Do you even know anybody in Georgia?
- Yes I have some relatives there that Jay has never met.
- How are you gonna get there?
- Driving. - That's a long drive.
- I have no choice, I'm too far along to fly.
It's worth it.
I can't endure another day with him and I cannot bring
my son into this toxic kind of environment.
If I don't leave now I know Jay will kill me someday.
- Oh my God this is crazy.
- Good luck, Brandi.
I'll be praying for you and the baby.
- Thank you ladies, bye.
- Bye. - Bye.
- Can you hold things down?
I gotta go call my sister about this lunatic.
- I got it, I got it.
Look Free, just be careful, okay?
And call me if you need me.
- Yeah.
- Girl, why you always messing with your hair,
you know it ain't gone get straight?
- Stupid, don't talk about my hair, boy.
I'm gone miss your crazy ass.
- Yeah I'm gonna miss you too.
- I just wish you would move back to Houston.
- Yeah, maybe one day.
So what you doing after you drop me off?
- I'm supposed to be meeting Marcus for lunch.
Oh, and then I gotta go home and get my phone,
I can't believe I went off and left it.
- Girl, you would leave your head
if it wasn't attached to your shoulder.
- Now that's true.
- See, it's never a dull moment with you.
- You knew that.
- But I'm really glad you're seeing Marcus though.
- Yeah, he's a sweetie.
I think I'm gonna keep him (laughs).
- Look I'm just glad that you're finally drama free.
- Yep.
- So have you talked to Jay?
- Not a peep.
- Nothing? - Nope.
- That's weird.
I mean, he went from blowing you up to complete silence?
I don't trust that.
- Look just stop being paranoid, everything is good.
Anyway, Marcus wants me to move in with him,
so he'll be there to protect me from the big bad wolf.
- Look, I'm not being paranoid,
but just be careful, all right?
- Always.
(soft music)
- Yep, yep - Here we go.
- Okay, okay.
- You have a good flight.
- Thank you, thank you. - Of course.
- So I'll call you once I make it in.
- Okay cool, I should have my phone by then.
- All right.
Love you sis. - I love you too.
- All right be safe, okay?
- Boy, stop worrying. - I'm serious.
- Okay, okay, I'll watch myself.
- All right, congrats on you and Marcus again.
- Bye.
(whispers) You're crazy.
Come on people, there you go, move yourselves out the way.
(phone beeping)
Where's that phone?
Geez.
Oh my God.
- Come on girl, pick up.
- Hey girl, what's up?
- Girl, where the hell you been?
I've been calling you all day and came by twice.
- Excuse you, I've been with Marcus all day
and I left my phone at home.
I just came home to pick up my phone, get me
an overnight bag, and I'm going straight back to Marcus'.
- Brandi came by the salon today.
- Brandi, Jay's wife Brandi?
- Yes, she left town.
- Left town?
- Yes, she feels like...
She was talking about how crazy he's been
and he's been abusing her and-
- What, wait.
- She feels like he gonna try to hurt you too.
- Me? - Yes.
Look she said when you kicked him out, he went back to her
and she was talking about how crazy he's been
and just talking about you nonstop.
She thinks he's obsessed with you.
- Girl, of course he's obsessed, what man wouldn't be?
- Bitch, this ain't the time for you
to be full of yourself right now.
- Girl, I think Brandi is just full of shit any way, okay?
She's probably just trying to mess with my head.
Jay isn't like that.
I mean, he is a little clingy at times,
but he would never even try to physically hurt me.
- Wow Sasha, I don't think she lying.
She came in there with two black eyes.
- Wow, well I mean, you really think that the wife
would come in here, try to warn the other woman?
Look, and how do we even know that her black eyes are real?
I mean, they could've came from anywhere.
And Jay has just been a little aggressive before,
but I know he wouldn't try to do anything like that.
He wouldn't do anything to me.
- And how do you know that he won't do anything?
- Because I just know.
- Well, I believe her Sasha.
I mean, sis she was scared,
you can't fake that kind of fear.
- Okay, well believe it if you want to.
- And I do.
Look, when are you going to Marcus'?
- Girl, I'm actually getting ready right now.
- Look, call me when you get there.
- Okay I'll call you.
- Bye sis.
- They're tripping, always paranoid.
(Sasha screaming)
- Shut the up fuck up before I blow your brains
all over this apartment, come here.
(Sasha screaming)
Hey, sweetness?
(phone ringing)
Oh, it's your new man calling.
Now you tell him you too tired and staying home.
You ain't coming over there.
You tell him you too tired to come over
and you staying home.
(Sasha crying) Pick up the phone.
If you say anything out the ordinary,
I swear before Jesus I'm gone cut you.
And when he get here, I'm gone kill him right
in front of you and make you watch.
- No (cries). (phone ringing)
Hello?
- Hey baby, where you at?
- I'm tired, I'm just gone stay at home.
- Tired, what you mean you tired, baby?
You were full of energy when you left here.
- I know, but I started packing
and then my head started hurting
so I just think it's best I stay home.
- (sighs) I mean, so what's up,
you want me to come over there?
- No, no.
- You okay?
You sound funny.
- I'm just tired and my head hurts a little.
- (sighs) All right, I guess I'll check on you later.
- Okay. - I love you.
- I can't believe you're seeing someone else,
you ain't nothing but a hoe.
(Sasha crying)
- He doesn't mean anything to me.
- Don't lie to me.
I've been watching you, I see the way you look at him.
You don't ever look at me like that.
- You've been watching me?
- Yeah.
Did you really think it would be that easy to get rid of me?
Did you think you can just walk away from me
and I would disappear?
You got me fucked up.
You gone learn, you gone learn playing games.
You just fucked with the wrong one.
- Jay, please (cries). - Please what?
Oh now you want to beg and plead? (laughs)
Bitch you funny.
Ain't nothing you can say or do that's gone get you
outta the plans I have for you.
- I wasn't playing games with you.
- Do I look stupid to you?
- No (cries).
- I fell for your bullshit once,
and I'm not falling for it again.
You never cared for me.
You had me looking stupid and weak.
- I did, I do, I do, I do care about you,
it's just complicated.
- How, how is it complicated?
- I love you but I know you're married and the right thing
to do is for you to be with your family.
I don't want to mess that up.
- But you knew I was married when we got together.
It wasn't complicated when you was fucking my brains out,
when you was taking my money.
- (cries) Jay. - Shut the fuck up.
I'm so sick of your lies, your lies, just telling me lies.
You gonna make me kill you.
That's not what I got planned for you.
(Sasha crying)
- You not gone kill me?
- (shushes) Of course not sweetness.
Death would be too good for you.
No, no I want you to suffer.
I want you to remember every day and every night
what it's like to play
with someone's emotions and their lives.
- (cries) Jay, no.
(Sasha screaming)
- Maybe you can just help me out
for like a couple of months.
(Sasha screaming)
You got it twisted, 'cause I don't give a damn
what bills you pay.
I am a grown ass woman and I will do whatever I want
when I want and how I want.
(Jay grunting) (Sasha screaming)
What do you want, Jay? - You.
- No, 'cause when you had me,
you didn't know how to treat me.
- I been outside your door waiting for you to open it.
- You what?
You know you sound real crazy right now.
- I am Cr-
(Jay laughing)
(Jay mumbling)
- What the fuck?
What are you doing here Jay?
- Brandi kicked me out.
- Are you serious? - Very.
(Jay crying)
- Freeze, mother fucker.

(dramatic piano music)
(door knocking)
- Good evening? - Hi?

- Yeah, that's my sister.
- I'm sorry to inform you that she's been brutally attacked.

- [Sasha] I had to learn my lesson the hard way.
- What happened?
- [Sasha] For me, it was all about the game, the thrill.
Well, everything comes with a price
