03x11 - Up in Old Flames

[bunniefuu]

- Why have we not had sex?
- I didn't feel like I...

Take your clothes off.

- Get in the tub?
- Yes.

"Get out, get the car.

"Then I get him to open me
a bank account

"while I plan my next operation."
That is a quote out of a book.

While I was in prison,

there was like five or six
other guys I was talking to.

SHE LAUGHS
Gonna send me some money or what?

ANSWERPHONE: 'The mailbox is full
and cannot accept...'

So, when is the last time
you talked to her?

Maybe about two months.

- You've been ghosted.
- What's "ghosted"?

I have never successfully
completed a parole.

OK.

JOHN: Last time Kristianna
was at this halfway house,

she did escape.

That's not good.

If she does run,
she could do another eight years.

JESSICA: Maurice and I got married
while he was in prison.

This is not exactly what
we envisioned when you were born.

I'm not gonna let anybody
hurt my daughter.

So, how you know
if you're pregnant or not?

JESSICA: It'll be two lines.

- Pregnant!
- It is?!

We pregnant! Yeah!
LAUGHING

You can't tell anybody yet.

HEATHER: A few weeks
after I met Dylan, he went to jail.

Three months later,
he asked me to marry him.

Babe!

My Aunt Diane was nice enough
to say that we could stay with her.

I'd like to spend some time
with my husband...

- I got you, baby.
- ..ever, in life.

DYLAN: We're gonna leave.

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

Hi, Aunt Diane.

BLEEP.

I'm tripping, I might go back
to prison my first day out!

Can you give me...?
- Yeah, me BLEEP too!

Make sure you BLEEP
bring her back, OK?

Listen, I'm gonna BLEEP go to court

just so I don't ever
have to hear about

this whole money for bail
BLEEP again.

I have $50,000 riding on the line
if Destinie doesn't show up.

All right. Let's go ham. Whoo!

Destinie hasn't texted me back,
hasn't called me or anything.

I just wish she'd let me know
that everything's OK.

We're on the way
to the courthouse right now.

Last night,
Destinie went out with her sister

and stayed the night over there,
so I'm a little bit nervous.

I really wish Destinie
would've just, you know,

stayed the night with me last night,

just so I know that, you know,
she's gonna show up.

Find one of these cops
that don't like you...

that's the kind of BLEEP
I worry about.

I really don't want you to go.
- Like, you need to just trust me

and know that I'm tired
of living like that.

Like, that's not... It's not...

I'm not going back
to the old me any more.

I'm just hoping that she just
doesn't freak out and run.

She's still looking at
a year and a half of her sentence

that's left for the escape charge.

I'm just really hopeful
that everything will get dismissed,

like they say,
but I'm very nervous for her

because, you know,
if something doesn't go right today,

then, you know,
it's gonna just devastate her.

She's not a bad person.

I just think that she was dealt
a lot of bad cards.

The perfect scenario today
would be that she shows up,

it's gonna be dismissed
and dropped,

court goes good,

I propose to her later,
she says yes,

and we would be happy together.

'She's never made it
to a court date.

'She's always ran.'
BLEEP.

If she doesn't show up,
or she's late,

then we have to forfeit the $50,000,
and so I just...

there's a lot of emotions right now
going through my mind.

RINGING TONE

PHONE BEEPS

BLEEP. She keeps declining my calls.

I know she loves me, and I know
she wouldn't do this to me

and, you know,
drag me all the way here

and just run at the last minute.

But maybe everybody was right
that she isn't gonna show up.

I'm just second-guessing everything,
like maybe this was a...

you know, a dumb idea.

HE SIGHS
BLEEP.

COW MOOS

TERRA: Don't drop him!

JOHN: I'm not gonna drop him.
- Yeah.

HE LAUGHS

TERRA: That's the last load.

JOHN:
I've had enough of that for one day.

- Yeah.
- Or two or five.

Kristianna's mom, Tammy,

and her sister Terra

are coming to live with me
at the house

so I can help them get their lives
where they need 'em to be.

Thank you so much, John,
for taking us in.

I feel a lot safer here already.
- Yeah.

I just hope
it's not too much on you.

I think you guys will like it here.

I think we can get you on your feet,
get you a job.

You know,
I wish your sister could be here.

But unfortunately, you know,

she's got three months
in the halfway house.

Yeah, something like that.
- All right.

Let me show you what
I kind of have in mind here.

We'll put Mom in here.

Should I throw some of my stuff
and things right there, or...?

No, I'll... I'll show you where...
where I'm gonna put you.

It feels good to be here, you know.

I was living
in the upstairs to Terra.

The place was really a meth house
down in the basement.

'Random people going downstairs.

'And then Terra, of course, sat
right downstairs with them all.'

Things were starting
to look really ugly.

- That's how I envision it.
- OK, well, sounds good to me.

PHONE RINGS
You happy with that, Mom?

TAMMY: Yeah.

This is John.

Uh, what happened exactly?

What?

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

She's out there using somewhere.

I just...
I just can't picture her doing that.

When it comes to drugs,
it's all gone,

it's all out the window.

When the demons got her,
the demons got her, you know.

It's an ugly thing. It really is.

This isn't the first time me
and Mom have had to deal with this.

This will be the first time
John has had to deal with,

you know, her relapsing
and running away.

When Kristi relapses, she goes MIA.

I hope she makes the right choice
and makes the call for help.

What I need to do is I need to
go to Dubuque and find her.

I don't think that's a good idea.

I think it's a great idea.

I need you to go with me.
TAMMY: Not a good idea, John.

You know the places she hangs out.

- Yeah, I know they're no good.
- Show me where they are, and...

- No.
- We also know her addiction, too.

If I have to go into
these drug houses and look for her,

I might just sit down next to her,
and you'd be sitting outside.

What happens if neither one of them

come back out of the house
you send Terra into?

I can't do it.

I knew deep down
that her leaving the halfway house

was a real possibility.

But now that it looks like
Kristi has relapsed,

and she's on the run,

I am very scared for my wife.

She could get picked up
by the cops.

She could, heaven forbid, overdose.

What if we just drove around and...
and hope we spot her?

If we spot her, if we drove around
and spotted her, she'd probably run.

TAMMY: Yeah.
- I've went through this many times,

and every time, she just runs.

And what if you do
get her back here,

and she decides to run
all the way back to Dubuque?

Oh, let's just hope
that doesn't happen.

Well...

I know that if she is high right now
cos she relapsed,

she's not gonna care about
any of us right now.

She's only caring about herself
and the drug.

You know, I've been going through
this for years with Kristianna.

And so I know the ropes, you know.

I don't give a BLEEP where she is
or what she's doing.

She's out there somewhere,

and I got to go...
I got to go find her.

You can't just go knocking at doors
in Dubuque.

There's drug houses,
there's g*ns, there's knives,

there's people that don't care less.

People could open up their door
with a g*n in your face

and not give a BLEEP less
if they blow your head off.

A lot of bad people in Dubuque,
and a lot of bad people

that she hangs out with
when she's using.

TERRA: Yeah.
- I'm telling ya.

You don't have enough money
for me to use you, Scott.

It's almost like
he just waited for me to get here

and get trapped in his house
to start pulling his BLEEP.

I'm tripping, I might go back
to prison my first day out.

Don't arrest me.

Five years of waiting
for Dylan to come home

cannot possibly end like this.

'Your parole officer is here,
Dylan.'

See? And this is
what the BLEEP I'm talking about.

And if...
- Heather, chill.

I'm tripping, I might go back
to prison my first day out.

Can you give me a break?
- Yeah, me BLEEP too!

Heather, slow the BLEEP down.

Slow down.

TRUCK HORN BLARING

When you leave prison,

your first order of business
is get to your parole site

and check in
with your parole officer.

'And now I'm panicking.'

Give me one moment.

I don't wanna go back to prison.

Not on my first day.

Excuse me.

Hi.

KEYS CLATTER
Don't arrest me.

I don't even know your name.

OK.

Sorry. I'm nervous.

I just got out.

Got it.

I did.

Yeah.

I got her phone on me.

Uh, it's on.

The absolute last thing that I want,
and my worst nightmare,

is for Dylan to end up
back in prison

for a stupid argument
at Aunt Diane's.

Yeah.

Turn it off.

It's been a while. Hold on.

Five years of waiting
for Dylan to come home

cannot possibly end like this.

'I can't do this again.
I don't want him to go back.'

SHE SNIFFLES

We're good?

All right.

Luckily, my PO let me off the hook,
with just a slap on the wrist.

Baby!

DYLAN: Yeah.

Heather and I have been
together for five years,

but this is nothing like the way
I'd imagined it was gonna be.

I'm so sorry about the commotion
with the parole officer.

I'm glad that you were home,
cos otherwise,

I could've been in big trouble.

HEATHER:
Thank you so much, Aunt Diane.

But I promise
there's not gonna be any problems.

I'm gonna take care
of all my parole responsibilities.

DYLAN: Yeah.

Uh-uh! Got that right.
No problems here.

- Here, I got the bag, babe.
- No, I got it.

- Come on, sweetie.
- OK.

At this point,
I'm completely exhausted

and terrified to even leave
Aunt Diane's house.

But my BLEEP is gonna explode.

We're just gonna stay here
for the night.

It's back to orgasms, with
Aunt Diane cooking in the kitchen.

BLEEP.

HE SIGHS

- God.
- Come on.

- Mm.
- Mm.

BREATHING HEAVILY

It's gonna be one happy household.

HEAVY BREATHING
CONTINUES

Amen.

Yeah, is there any way
to change addresses

once I've started
the halfway-house programme?

Um, I'm trying to move.
KNUCKLES CRACK

Yeah, it's my mom's address.

Right now, I feel pretty pissed off
because I feel like

he invaded my privacy
by reading my journals.

Since it's the morning
after we had sex,

I feel like he just waited
for me to get here

and get trapped in his house
to start pulling his BLEEP.

SCOTT: You have to explain this.

That is a quote out of a book.

Cos obviously, I sit around
and write my master plan out

in a BLEEP notebook
while I'm sitting in prison.

SCOTT: That's a good plan, though.

'In my notebook,
I write down quotes out of books

'that I think are just interesting.'

And that particular quote
was from a book about a woman

who had been to prison
for stealing money

from rich men that she was dating.

But if Scott makes comparisons
to himself

and the character in this book,

that's his problem, not mine.

OK, thank you.

If Lindsey wants me to believe that
that excerpt which I read

was actually transferred
from a book,

all you've got to do is find
the BLEEP book and show it to me.

Listen, can I come to the house

and do the rest of
my at-home confinement?

LINDSEY:
'In prison, the officers come in,

'they go through your locker,
throw your BLEEP around,

'read whatever they want,
and you have no control over it.

'You just have to let it happen.
'I'm supposed to be at home now,

'not supposed to be
dealing with that any more.'

I have places to go,
and I will go.

RINGING TONE

Ugh!

The halfway house is saying
it's gonna take days

for me to get this transfer made.

So, lucky for Scott,
I'm trapped here.

I don't need your money, Scott.

I'm not trying to be offensive
or anything,

but you don't have enough money
for me to use you for money.

I feel like you pulled this BLEEP
because I got the bracelet on.

Hell no! I didn't know you were...

No. Geez.

You just accused me of robbing you

and then turned around and said,
"I think it's unfair"?

HE STAMMERS
Maybe, I mean...

I'm trapped here.
I cannot leave legally.

Right now, I'm extremely frustrated
and really concerned

for what's going on with Lindsey.

I've spent two years
getting to know Lindsey

and building trust with her.

For me to read something like that,

it really, um,
damaged my trust level.

This is not the same person

that I had talked to
while I was in prison.

He promised my kid she would have
her own room and her own space.

Where is she supposed to sleep?

And he said it would be fine
to spend money,

but then when I try
to actually spend it, he gets weird.

I am wondering
if I have not been misled.

This is why you're 51 and single.

RINGING TONE

- 'Hello?'
- Hey, what's going on?

This is where
she's supposed to be.

I have to find my wife
before the police pick her up.

Where the BLEEP are you at?

RINGTONE

That might be her.

Who is it? Hello?

It's been, like, three months
since I heard from Chanda.

'She hasn't picked up her phone,

'so I don't know if
she's ignoring me intentionally.'

I don't know
if she's locked back up,

she violated her parole, probation.

'I don't know
if she's strung out on drugs.'

Nothing in this world
is impossible.

'My daughter Tyreshia told me
I've been ghosted.'

You know, people could look you
right in the eye and lie to you.

'I'm actually starting
to believe that.'

MAN: Take one. Marker.

CLAPPERBOARD CLAPS

OK. Stand by for a sec.

SIGHS HEAVILY
Hi.

All right.

Yeah.

I didn't know if I really wanted
to do this or not. Um...

But I came to a conclusion

that I just need
to get it done and over with.

When I was incarcerated,
and I was talking to Tyrice,

I really enjoyed talking to him,
having companionship with him.

But after I got out of prison,
and Tyrice came in that blue suit,

it just wasn't something
that I was expecting.

Hey.
'It was kind of a buzzkill.

'Kissing Tyrice,
I didn't feel anything.

'There was no spark.
There was nothing.

'When he dropped me off
at the bus station,

'it just felt like
it was the goodbye.'

I feel bad about ghosting Tyrice,

but I had phone calls,
text messages, voicemails,

and I just couldn't take any more,

so I changed my number.

In recovery,
sometimes, it's necessary

just to cut people off.

I really am trying to work
on my sobriety,

and now things have been kind of...

going good for me, really.

'I finally got out
of the halfway house.

'I've been maintaining a job,
got a vehicle.'

I've been taking steps in my life
that have been necessary

for me to maintain
a healthy-living lifestyle.

Yeah, I'd be willing to call Tyrice.

I think we both need the closure.

Yeah, sure.

RINGING TONE

Kinda nervous.

I don't want him thinking
that I'm a bad person.

TYRICE: 'Hello?'

Hey, what's going on?

'Man, I ain't heard from you
since you got out.'

I just wanted to apologise to you.

I'm sorry for ghosting you
like that.

I think you deserve better.

'You know what, Chanda?

'I was just worried about you,
you know?

'I was concerned about you
cos I ain't heard from you

'since you got on the bus.'

SHE SIGHS
I know.

And I feel really bad about that.

But I needed space.

I need to focus on my own life

before I can focus
on a relationship.

'I get that,

'but, you know, I wish
you would've been real with me,

'up front with me, basically.

'You know,
I really want it to work,

'but I guess it wasn't ever real.'

I'm sorry for what I did.

I hope that we'll still be friends.
- 'BLEEP no.

'I don't wanna be your BLEEP friend.
I don't wanna be BLEEP.

'So, you take care of yourself.
I'm out.'

- OK. I will.
- 'Goodbye.'

PHONE BEEPS

He didn't deserve
to be treated like that.

Feel like BLEEP for doing that.

I've moved on.

I'm always nervous
going to your pop's house.

You know?
- Why?

Because it's like,
the father's super overprotective

of their daughters.

He's like a big teddy bear.

I'm happy to spend time
with your pops, though, you know?

Get that personal
son-and-dad moment, you know?

Mm-hm.

And I always wanted a dad.

I'm talking 'bout a real pops,

someone that shows me things,
someone I can look up to, you know?

Yep. And he'll teach you
anything you wanna know.

I know he will.

So all you got to do is ask.

Let's go in here.
- Let's rock.

No, wait.

Shh!

DOOR BELL RINGS

- Well, hello, guys!
- Hey!

JILL: You made it. You made it.
SHE LAUGHS

- Good to see you again.
- Hi, Dad.

- How you doing?
- Hey, Pops, what's going on?

- How you doing?
- How you doing?

The jury's still out on Maurice.

'I mean, it hasn't been that long,

'and my daughter's
the most important thing.'

So he's got a lot of work to do.

So, have you talked to
many people about, you know,

what you can do right now
temporarily

for jobs here in Vegas?

Like, Dave's gonna show you
some stuff today on welding.

So, I mean, you might be able
to use that somewhere, you know?

I appreciate you
taking your time out today

and showing me how to weld.

This is something
that was on my list,

that if plan A, B, and C
didn't work out,

this is something I was willing to
go to school for and try to learn.

This is not something
that you learn in a few minutes.

- It's not, huh?
- No, no.

It takes a lot of practice.

Honestly, it feel good
because I finally got

the man-to-man,
one-on-one, alone.

'I'm feeling nervous because
that's the man of the house.'

So that's the alpha.
That's the omega right there, man.

So, you guys do a little welding,

and us girls have to go shopping.

Don't you wanna go with us?
- No.

Oh, OK. No?
LAUGHTER

I wanna show him
and prove to him that,

"Hey, man,
I can do the right thing."

I'ma take care of my wife.
- Bye, guys. Have a good time!

- OK.
- You ready to burn some rod?

Yeah, I'm ready to get blind.
DAVE CHUCKLES

This is the machine.
You turn it on there.

WHIRRING

We're gonna weld
these two plates together.

OK.

Just remember,
make sure your hood is down.

This can blind you.
It's very dangerous.

Now that these ends are tacked...

Oh, now it's together.

It's together, it'll stay together,
and you can weld all the way across.

Oh, OK.

Here goes nothing.

Me and my dad, we ain't got
no relationship at all.

'It's just hi-and-bye BLEEP.

'It's been a long time
since I seen my pops.

'Probably, like,
when I was a teenager.'

- Damn!
- It's all right.

It just... It takes practice.

You know, I hope that Jessica's dad

can be the father
I ain't never had, you know.

'I hope he can be the role model
that I always wanted.'

There you go.

MAURICE:
'Because that's the same way I am.'

I wanna be there for my kids,
super supportive always.

DAVE: Keep it down in there close.

Not so fast. Slow down.

Yeah, that's not bad.

- That's not bad?
- No, it's not bad.

My first time
ever welding something.

Yeah. Like I said,
all it is, is practice.

But you just got to hang in there
and keep going.

I'm gonna accept the challenge
because I have to provide
for my... for my family.

Provide for your family?

I did say I'ma keep it a secret

that my wife is pregnant
with our child.

Are you sure you're ready for this?

To be a husband and maybe a father?

Um...

Man, I'm...
I'm kind of nervous right now, man.

I'm kind of scared, man.

'But I'm also trying to gain
his trust and that respect.'

So I ain't gonna lie,
I'm not gonna hide BLEEP.

I'm not... none of that.

We got some good news. Um...

We are bringing a child
in this world.

We... We're pregnant.

I don't quite know
what to say to that.

What the hell is going on?

It's almost eight thirty.
She ain't BLEEP here yet.

If Destinie shows up, that's gonna
prove to me that she's changed.

If she doesn't,
it'd all be for nothing.

Work out, like, three times a week.

'Like to stay in shape.
I know I still got it.'

I'ma still have it if I'm 50,
I'ma have it if I'm 90.

I'm still gonna have it.

I don't have a problem
getting a woman. No woman.

I'm feeling good.
CAN HISSING

I could run into a woman
at a social gathering

or maybe at the laundromat,

um, car wash, grocery store,
or whatever.

Look at that BLEEP.
That BLEEP look good.

The next woman who I date,

I'ma be sporting my powder blue suit
with my blue alligators.

'And I'ma look flyer than fly.'

She gonna say,
"Damn, he look amazing."

Personally, I don't give a BLEEP.

DOG BARKING

We got some good news.
We're pregnant.

I can't say that
I'm all that happy about it.

I mean, I'd like to have a grandkid,

but you got to work
that much harder now.

That's a big responsibility.

So, I didn't get the reaction
I was looking for.

I didn't get the reaction
I-I wanted,

but then again, it's like...

BLEEP I don't know
what to tell you, dawg.

Like, BLEEP,
it was bound to happen.

DAVE: It's a lot of weight
on your shoulders.

We'll be there to help
any way we can,

but I'm not raising any more kids.

It's yours.

I'm gonna step up as a man
to take care of my responsibilities.

I know...

I care about my wife and what
we about to bring into this world.

Just wanna provide for them
the best way I can.

I never wanna see the inside
of a jailhouse any more.

I just wanna do everything in
a legit way and put my family first.

But...

We promised at least
not to tell her mom and her dad.

So I broke the code already.

Mm, mm, mm.

That was quite a surprise, being
told I was gonna be a grandfather.

If Maurice steps up,
and he gets a job,

and shows that he can take care
of a family,

I don't have any issues with it.

But it's a matter of doing it.
He's got to do it.

She my whole world. I love her,
and I'm gonna take care of her.

So I wanna know if it's possible
I can have your blessing, Pops,

to take your baby girl's hand

and give her the best world
that she can have.

I wanna know if I can have
your blessing to give her that.

Me and Jessica got married
while I was in prison.

And ain't no wedding in prison.

It's just... "Do you wanna
get married to him?" "Yes."

"You wanna get married to her?
OK.

"You'll both sign these papers.
Y'all married."

There ain't no priest,
ain't no dresses, best man.

Ain't none of that.

So we wanna get remarried
and do it the right way.

I'd really like to see you do...

give her a nice proposal
and a nice ring.

- Right.
- She deserves those things.

But as of right now,
I'm broke. I'm broke.

Well, I'll tell you what.

First, you get the ring,
then you get a job.

I'm gonna advance you
some money for the ring,

and you pay me back.

This is a loan for a ring.

Man, man, man.

This... This is more money than...

Pfft!

..m-my dad,

uncles, aunties ever gave to me.

I never had nobody just give me
a thousand dollars. Never.

Now, that goes for a ring.

- I know.
- No drinking and gambling.

Nothing. This is for a ring.

- Jewellery store.
- Thank you, Pops, man.

I really appreciate this,
and I won't let you down.

Better not.
MAURICE LAUGHS

I can take this to the casino
real quick and go flip this.

'I could turn this $1,000 into
$3,000, go buy her something phat.'

You get what I'm saying?

I won't let you down.
I won't let you down, Pops.

It's conditional, but for now,
you have my blessing.

Thank you, Pops.

As far as the ring money,
this... this is a test.

I wanna see how he handles this,
if he does the right thing.

Pops, I'ma get this back to you.
I'ma get this back to you.

Before I die,
you gonna have $1,000 back.

- Let's hope it's sooner than that.
- It will. It will be. It will be.

Before I die.
BOTH LAUGH

SCOTT: I just don't think
that you appreciate anything.

LINDSEY: Unappreciative of you
buying yourself a house?

Or you letting me
live in your house?

This was gonna be your house.
I mean, you know...

It was never my house.

Lindsey got really upset
that I went through her things.

You know, she gave me some story
from out of left field.

However, I do not believe
Lindsey is telling me,

you know, the real story
behind that letter.

And there's a possibility
that Lindsey is actually using me

for money and financial gain.

You don't see a problem
with the fact

that my kid can't come here.

Are you telling me that you...?

The only reason why you're...
you are not comfortable here

is because there's some things
that aren't finished in the house?

Honest to God, are you telling me
that's the only reason?

My kid is not at my house with me.

I'm out of prison, and I don't have
anywhere to put her.

I've always had my child. She's
never stayed away from me before.

And I'm here, and she is not.
What do you mean?

You're saying
if everything was done,

you'd tell your mother, "I want
Mylie here with me this weekend?"

Of course I would have!

I think that I've done everything
that I could do for you
when you were in prison.

Everything. Did I fall...
Did I fall short on anything?

- No, and I-I...
- Except for...

Yes, the end here
with the house. I get it.

I am.

And I shouldn't even
have to say that.

Have I been disrespectful
to you at all?

LINDSEY: Only I don't like
having my stuff gone through.

That's disrespectful.
I feel like you should just ask me.

You're right. That was. That was.

But, you know...

'I'm gonna stay because
I really do wanna work this out.'

I do love Scott,

but there's so much I feel like
he needs to work on...

on himself
and for our relationship.

You have the opportunity
to change moving forward.

Scott always says things like,

"You can tell me anything.
You can talk to me."

But then he's literally freaked out
from a quote from a book.

I don't feel like
I can talk to Scott

about everything going on with me,

because he's going to
throw a fit about it.

Oh, I can't tell you that now,

they wouldn't be skeletons
in the closet any more, would they?

I don't like having secrets,

but at the same time,

if it's so difficult,
then I'll just keep my mouth shut.

Bonnie and Clyde, baby,
without the b*ll*ts.

I have to find my wife

before the police arrest her
and take her to jail.

Come on, baby,
where the BLEEP are you at?

If we just run away,
we can stay together.

BLEEP.

RINGING TONE

PHONE BEEPS

BLEEP.
She keeps declining my calls.

What the hell's going on?

I'm getting a little bit nervous
right now.

If Destinie doesn't show up today,
there's so much on the line.

I would, you know,
lose the love of my life,

lose the $50,000.
It'd just...

It'd be so devastating.

It's almost eight thirty.

She ain't BLEEP here yet.
She needs to hurry up.

'I'm really just freaking out
cos I'm thinking she ran.

'I don't know what's going on.'

If Destinie shows up,

then that's gonna prove to me
that she's changed

and that she's ready to move forward

and to, you know,
make this relationship work.

But if she doesn't,

it's almost $100,000
I have tied up in her,

and it'll all be for nothing.

BLEEP.

Oh, my God. Finally!

About time!

I was getting worried, you guys.

Oh, whatever. You know
I was gonna make her get here.

- What?
- I was BLEEP stressing!

Well, don't stress.
I told you I was gonna be here.

- BLEEP. Ah! So glad you made it.
- Quit stressing out, OK?

How was your night?

- You're stressing us out.
- It was fun, dude.

Me and Britnie BLEEP.
LAUGHTER

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

'for cutting my ankle monitor off.'

I'm here today
because I wanna change my life,

and I feel like in order to do that,
I have to do things different.

I'm just hoping that
when I walk through that door,

I see the judge, I walk back out,

and all this case
and everything is behind me.

- OK, so, you guys ready?
- I'm ready. I've been ready.

Oh, my God.
- I keep you on your toes, BLEEP.

I've been texting you,
been blowing your phone up.

Well, sorry. I've been busy.

- They'd better hurry up.
- Come on, guys.

- We have, like, three minutes.
- Three minutes?

- Three minutes.
- Perfect timing.

Calm down. Three minutes is plenty.

I've never had a good experience
in going into court.

Every single time I go into court,
I always get arrested and remanded,

and it's just a bad situation.

- Oh, my gosh. So frickin' nervous.
- You need to calm down.

You know, usually,
I just end up not coming.

And so just coming to the court
terrifies the BLEEP out of me.

I love you, too.

'My attorney has reassured me
that it's all gonna get dismissed.

'But, like, I might be going back
to prison right now.'

Like, I don't want to go back, dude.

MAN: Good morning, guys.
DESTINIE: Morning.

Bonnie and Clyde, baby,
without the b*ll*ts.

So, it's 04:12 in the morning.
I just got a call from Kristi.

Uh, she's in Dubuque.

I don't know
what kind of state she's in.

I don't know what
her frame of mind is.

The only thing I know is
I'm going to get my wife

and that she finally reached out
for help.

I hope that the love
that we have for each other

is strong enough to withstand
whatever happened.

Kristi running away
from the halfway house,

it means that if she gets arrested,

she is going to go back to prison.

So I have to find my wife

before the police arrest her
and take her to jail.

And we don't know when we're
gonna be able to see each other

or if we'll be able
to see each other.

I've never been in a situation
like this.

Well, this is where
she's supposed to be.

Let's hope I can find her.

Come on, baby,
where the BLEEP are you at?

RINGING TONE
Come on.

Where the BLEEP are you?

ANSWERPHONE: 'The voicemail box...'
- BLEEP.

That her?

Hi, babe.

So happy to see you.
- Oh, baby.

So glad you're all right.
- Yeah.

KRISTIANNA: 'I relapsed.'

I just...

I don't even know why, really.
I got triggered.

Damn triggers.

Let's go.

Being, you know,
around people I see,

people who use,
people I've done used with...

Um...
..and just trying not to feel.

You know, trying not to
deal with emotions

and the "overwhelm-ness" and...

And then it just made it worse.

KRISTIANNA: Sorry for BLEEP up.

JOHN: I'm just glad you're safe.
- Thank you.

Get in here and get warm, babe.
Get in.

I'm really glad
you came to pick me up, babe.

Me too.

I'd do anything for you.
- I know.

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

you're gonna stay out
and do something different.

'I was very worried that John
was gonna be disappointed.'

You're my world.

'I'm not used to reaching out
and asking for help.'

I'm not used to being loved
and not being beat

or around somebody who's on drugs
and don't have their life together.

You know, I haven't had my life
together unless I'm in prison.

I'm always gonna be here for you.

You never have to worry about that.

I've tried to succeed many times,
and failed and failed.

KRISTIANNA SIGHS

Now I'm gonna have to go back in
and...

just face the music.

SNIFFLING

Come here.

JOHN: It's OK.

I've got you.
I'll always have you.

'I am not mad at Kristi
for relapsing.'

I knew it was a real possibility.

And from being
in similar situations,

you can't really be mad at that.

Uh, things happen.

But it's a sad moment.

I mean, there's a warrant out
for her arrest.

And I'm taking my fugitive wife
home to Cresco,

and then we have to figure out

exactly what we're gonna do
from here.

KRISTIANNA:

JOHN: We might as well

Bonnie-and-Clyde
this whole situation

and turn this truck around

and go to a non-extraditable country
and sip mai tais on the beach.

Because I'm not ready for her
to go back to prison.

Yay! Ah!

Got some cute friends.
I wanna introduce you to them.

Keep your options open.

There's nothing to
really justify my actions.

GRUNTING

- I knew what I was getting into.
- Yeah.

I knew this was a possibility.

I need a second.
I need a BLEEP second!

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