I don't want
our kids around this.

You know what time it is, n*gga.

Is it raining?

I hope not.

-Why you hope not?
-Because you know how you are.

How am I?

Babe, when it's raining,
you wanna stay in bed all day.

-Yeah, I do.
-Mm-hmm.

You can't blame me though, man.

I'm trying to be here

-What's that about? Go ahead.

-It's not about anything. Just..

Zac, anybody text me

Ah, she's trying to apologize.

Well, she can get that

Okay, girl.

Everything all right?

It will be.

Hello. Come in.
Come in, please. Please.

How are you both?

We fine.

Good. Sorry about
all the texts and calls.

Yeah. Is that what you
do to everyone?

When we have business concerns.

I see. Okay.

-Here's your check
-Thank you. Oops. Um...

-Thank you. Oh!
-Is there a problem?

There is an additional fee.

An additional fee? You said
that was the entire amount.

That was for today's price,
but you said you wanted

to have the funeral
tomorrow instead.

You do this to everybody?

Well... we are a business.

In the business
of making everybody else broke?

-I'm, I'm, I'm so sorry.
-I'll pay you the rest tomorrow.

Well, we will need it today.

Are you serious?

Look, we're gonna have the
funeral tomorrow at 10am, Okay?

Um...

And we'll pay you this amount
now.

-Bullshit.
-[Both] Ooh!

The dead. You can't talk like
that in front of the dead.

-Sorry.
-Yeah.

But if we don't...

If we don't have the money
tomorrow, then we will have to--

-What? You will have to what?
-We will have to hold the doors

until we have all the money
in full.

Wait, wait, is this how you
treat people that are grieving?

-I, I'm sorry, but...
-You know what? I see.

I'm sorry. But the service
will be beautiful.

Oh, it better.

If there is
anything else you need?

-We don't need sh*t, no.
-You took everything.

I'm so sorry about your mother.

And I'm so sorry we chose this
funeral home. Come on, baby.

-f*ck these dead people!
-Zac.

They can hear you.

That's gonna be an extra charge.

Oh!

Charge me!

[knocks]

-Hi.
-[Zac] What's up?

How are you?

I'm good, Bryce.

Okay man, are you gonna be
mad at me forever?

Probably.

There's nothing I can do
to make it up to you?

Nope.

Okay, well I
signed the contract,

and Preston signed it,

and so now all we need is
your signature to move forward.

Copy.

Zac, come on, man.
Can we talk?

What? We talking right now.

But we're in
business together, man.

Okay. What's up?

I'm a good person. I really am.

I never said you weren't.

And I know that we got off
on the wrong foot.

No.
We got off on the right foot.

Then you went left with
the kiss sh*t, remember?

I know, I know. And I'm sorry.

All right. Okay. So...

But I also screwed up
with the money.

Bro, we past that.

We past the kiss sh*t, bro.
We good. Okay?

Let's just focus
on the business.

Okay.

Well, I just want you to know
that's never gonna happen again.

Better not.

-Absolutely.
-Okay.

Man, you have no idea
how bad this felt.

-For you?
-Yeah.

I screwed up so bad,
and I hurt you.

Okay, Okay, Okay, Bryce, Bryce,
Bryce.

No, no, you don't understand.
Like, that's not me. Okay?

I'm smarter than that.

Hey, hey, hey.
You gotta calm down.

You keep beating yourself up.
Listen, I do that enough.

Don't I?
Ain't I on you all the time?

I am, right?

You gotta let it relax.
You gotta relax and let it go.

Okay. Can we let it go
and start over?

-We can let it go.
-And start over?

That's gonna take some time.

Because you don't
trust me, right?

No, I don't.

Come on, man.
I'm f*cking with you.

-You're f*cking with me?
-Yes.

-Oh God. I deserve that.
-Yeah, you did. You did.

Because you took my money.
But come on, man.

It's over, bro. We past it.
We past it.

Hey, thanks, man.
You know, I just...

I need you to know that you
and I are in this together.

-Yes.
-And I'm gonna do better.

-I promise.
-You know what I need you to do?

-Anything. Anything.
-Your job, bro.

Bryce, you mad f*cking smart,
bro. No, no,

I've seen you
with these properties.

And with this money,

like the back of your hand.

Last thing. Last thing.
You can leave now.

Come on, man.

Dude, careful, man. I'm still a
little sore you know?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Sorry,
I didn't mean to do that.

-You good?
-Okay. Yeah, man.

The contract's in my office
whenever you're ready.

I got you. Lighten up, Bryce.

[Bryce] Thanks, man.

Girl!

-I'm sorry.
-What happened?

-It was a mess.
-What do you mean?

-I didn't get to ask him.
-Well, why the hell not?

Well for one, Leslie got drunk

and started
talking all kind of sh*t.

Like what?

Like Malachi still being
in love with me.

-What?
-Yes, and Zac was at the table.

Oh, sh*t.

Yeah so, I'm sorry.
It was crazy.

The girl even got
her hair done like mine,

but I'll fill you
in on that later.

Yeah, Okay. Um...

But what about my situation?

-Angela...
-Fatima! You said he's FBI.

He can help me.

Yes, but it's a lot
of drama right now.

So you don't want to call him?

It's just a lot.

-Fatima, please.
-Okay, how about this?

How about we, um,
ask someone here to help you?

Girl, I work here too, remember?

I don't want
all these people knowing.

Please just call Malachi.

-Please.
-Oh, sh*t.

-Alright.
-Damn, Bryce.

What happened with Bryce?

He's the one who put
the cameras up. Yeah.

Then he got hacked,
and he didn't tell me.

Wait, wait, wait.

So all of this happened
because Bryce got hacked?

Yeah.
I mean, that's what he said.

And you believe him?

-Yeah, I do.
-sh*t. Okay.

I don't know.

I mean, he can be so stupid,
but smart at the same time.

I'm sorry.

Fatima, please. Just call him.

Okay.

Now.

Hello?

Hi. I was gonna give you
a call and apologize.

No need.

-Yes, I do need to.
-It's fine. It is.

[Malachi] I'm sorry.
Leslie was way out of hand.

Yeah, she was.

I'm sorry, but you called me.
What's going on?

Yeah, um, I have a friend

who may be in a bit of trouble.

Okay, and how can I help?

Okay well, she had some videos

that were put up on porn sites.

-Don't say it like that.
-What?

-Do you want the help or not?
-Okay, go ahead.

Yeah, and somebody hacked
into her home cameras.

Wow, that's awful.

Yeah, so I thought that maybe
with you being in the FBI,

maybe you could help her?

Yes, I can. Give her my number.
Have her call me today.

-[Fatima] Okay, thank you.
-Sure.

And once again,
I'm sorry for everything.

It's fine.

Are we gonna get a chance
to talk about this?

I don't think that's best.

Come on.
You want to help your friend?

Look, Malachi, I'll just...

I'll give her your information
and have her call you.

Tell you what, I can meet you
both somewhere after work.

[Fatima] I think it'd be best
if you just meet her, Okay?

Come on Fatima,
let me make this up to you.

Okay, fine.
I'll have her call you.

Great. Let's meet at her house.

I want to see
exactly what happened.

[Fatima] Yep, that's good.

I will make sure I send
her your information, Okay?

Talk to you later.

What happened?

-He's gonna help you, Okay?
-Thank you.

Look, I'm gonna
give you his number.

I will text it to you,
and you can call him, Okay?

The sooner this sh*t gets done,
the better.

Yeah but look,
I gotta get back to work, Okay?

-Right, I do too.
-Okay.

Thank you.

Look, I'm not coming
because I want to, Angela.

Then why are you coming?

Because he asked me to.

Ooh, Fatima!

No, it's not like that,
seriously.

Okay.

Just get the information
and call me, Okay?

-I will. Thank you again.
-You're welcome.

-[knocks on door]
-[Zac] What's up?

[Jeremiah] What's up?

Ah ha!

Too soon?

It's nice. Looks better
in the daytime, right?

-How you feeling?
-I'm good.

They discharging me today.

That's good.

Yeah, but...

What?

-I don't want to go, man.
-What do you mean?

Been looking
at this rehab place.

-Looks nice to me.
-They say they can take me today

Today?

Can you afford it?

Yeah. I mean, I can. Um...

I'm gonna call them.

-You sure?
-Yeah.

Yeah, let me, um...
The number's on the back.

I'm gonna call and see
if they got any space

because we gotta drive up there.

So let me call them.
I'll come right back.

Holler at you, all right?
Give me a second.

Keep on dressing. I got you.

[phone rings]

Hey, babe. What's going on?

[Zac] Hey, what's up, baby?
I'm at the hospital.

-Are you Okay?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm good.

I just came
to see Jeremiah again.

[Fatima] Okay.

Yeah, I told him
about the funeral,

and he asked me about helping
him get in a rehab center.

-I'm sorry, what?
-[Zac] Yeah.

Okay well,
is it inpatient or outpatient?

No, it's inpatient,
and it's five racks.

Okay well, do you have that?

Yeah, I got it.

Okay, so do you want to do it?

I mean, I feel like
I got to at this point.

But do you want to do it, babe?

Yeah, but stuff
is tight right now.

I know, babe, but...

-You should do it.
-Baby...

Look babe, I know you're
nervous. It's fine.

Fatima, if he blow my money,
I'm gonna be f*cking pissed, yo.

Well, there's only
one way to find out.

Yeah, an expensive way.

Look, it's not
about the money, Okay?

-All right.
-All right, I love you.

I love you more.

All right,
I'll see you when you get home.

Copy.

Yo!

You ready?

We're doing this?

-We're doing this, bro.
-All right.

Let's get out of here.

You good?

I got to make one stop.

No, no, we ain't
making no stops, n*gga.

-No, we ain't making no stops.
-I just got to get some clothes.

No, I'ma get you clothes.
I'm gonna get you clothes.

You're gonna be straight, bro.

Let me call the nurse.

Stay here. I'll get the nurse.
I'll get you checked out.

-Okay.
-[Zac] All right.

I got you, bro.

Girl, we just got off of work.

Ain't that the best time
to drink?

Just wait on him to get here.

What is it with you and him?

Nothing.

Fatima?
I know it's something, what?

-It's absolutely nothing. Okay?
-You sure?

-1,000 percent sure.
-Mm-hmm.

Why you looking at me like that?

Because I know you.

Look, once you step on my heart,
I'm over it.

I knew it was something
between you two.

Girl, is he fine?

-Angela.
-What?

-[knock on door]
-Get the door.

He's fine, ain't he?

Girl!

-Hi.
-Damn!

-Angela.
-I mean, you look nice.

Thank you.

-I sure hope you can help.
-I'm sure I can.

Hi, Fatima.

Hi.

-How are you?
-I'm good.

Good.

Yeah, so if we're all good here,
then I'm gonna head home.

No, I wanted to talk to you.

Malachi.

Look, I know I'm here
to talk to her,

but I want to talk to you, too.

Well, I really need
to head home.

Can't stand to
be around me now, huh?

Really?

Look, I just wanted
to let you know

how serious I was
about my apology.

Well, this here is about Angela,
so can we just...

Yes, but I haven't had a chance
to be alone with you,

and I really need
to tell you how much I miss you.

Malachi, read the room.

We're still not alone, so...

And that's because you
won't allow us to be alone.

-Well, I just...
-Did y'all want me to step out?

-No.
-Yes.

Look, I've been trying
to talk to you for years,

and I was so happy when you
let us come into your house.

Don't you want to hear from me?

Let's see. Um, I found out that
you were sleeping with her

when we were
still together, so...

I hurt you. I understand that.

Look, that was the worst thing
I could have ever done.

No. You're with Leslie,
and I'm happy with Zac.

But I'm in love with you.

-Malachi--
-Fatima, I am in love with you.

I'm so in love with you.

Malachi, what are you doing?

Malachi, Okay, you are tripping
right now. What are you doing?

Just look.

What the hell?

[Fatima] Um...
