02x14 - Redemption

[bunniefuu]

I got somebody who love me.

And I keep f*ck' it up because of what you did to me.

Who do you think you talkin' to?

The source of all my pain.

[Fatima]Previously on Zatima...

I ain't sleep with Connie.

It doesn't even matter at this point.

Why not?

I've been sleepin' with Paul,

so you might as well have done it.

'Cause we're done.

Packed it all up for me.

Yeah.

But we could still be friends.

Yeah, I've been thinking about that, and no.

Whatever I gotta do, Fatima's mine.

Don't do anything stupid, okay?

[Zac] She's mine.

[phone ringing]

Hey.

[Angela]Hey.

He's gone.

Good.

[Angela]Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm, I'm good.

Where are you?

We're at dinner right now.

Okay, well, let me let you go.

You good, he just went to the bathroom.

I can talk.

Oh, are y'all still goin' to the club after?

Yep, that's the plan.

[Angela]Okay.

I'll see you there.

[Fatima]All right.

What did Zac say?

You know what?

I don't even wanna know.

Well, look, I'ma tell you this.

He said he not givin' up.

Yeah, well, I know that.

[Angela]Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm good.

[Angela]You sure?

Yes, I'm, I'm good, girl. I'm fine.

[Angela]Okay.

sh*t, talkin' to him made me think about Bryce.

Really? Why?

Yeah, I mean, he was just so sad.

Oh, I gotta go. He's comin' back.

Okay. Bye.

Hey.

[Bryce]Hey.

Where are you?

[Bryce]Oh, I was just about to pull up at my house.

You wanna meet me at an open mic?

[Bryce]Oh! Uh, yeah.

Okay. Cool.

[Bryce]What's goin' on?

Nothin', I just need to talk to you is all.

[Bryce]Well, I just left. I'm not far, I can come back.

No, no, no, we should meet there.

[Bryce]But it's gonna be too loud to talk.

Well...

[Bryce]Let me just turn around.

Okay.

[Bryce]Okay, I'll see you in a minute.

Okay. Bye.

[Bryce]Okay.

* Love ain't perfect *

* But we still work it *

* May not be what we see on TV, but it's damn sure worth it *

* Uh-huh, love ain't perfect *

* But we still work it *

* Don't gotta be what we see on IG *

* 'Cause we still worth it *

* Uh-huh *

* Yeah, yeah *

* Yeah *

* Do-do-do-doo-do-do-do-do We still work it *

Did you notice?

What?

How all these women are starin' at you?

Come on.

You really didn't notice?

I don't see all that.

Yeah, whatever.

I mean, yeah they do, but you know what?

Then they find out I'm a contractor,

and they're all like, "So, who's your boss?"

Really?

Yeah, you know how these women in Atlanta are.

Yeah, some of 'em.

Some of 'em? All the ones I've ever met.

So, is that why you're single?

Well, you get what you give.

And what does that mean?

I don't know, I guess...

If they lookin' for a sugar daddy, I ain't him.

Okay.

Well, there are a lot of hardworking women

here in Atlanta, so...

Yeah, you right.

Yeah.

They make more money than all the men in here.

So, I'm guessing you dealt with that?

Oh, yeah, I got some stories.

Well, I wanna hear 'em.

Yeah, I'm not quite so sure that you do.

And why you say that?

Well, I mean, your body's here, and your mind's here, but...

Your eyes aren't.

What are you talkin' about?

You're sad.

Wow, so you are trying to Dr. Reid me.

Got it.

Yeah, well, I learned a few things.

Yeah, so did I.

Oh, really? Like what?

I'm not giving you my secrets.

Oh, okay. All right, well, touché.

So, you wanna get out of here and head to open mic?

Yeah, let's do it.

[music]

[Paul] Hey.

Yeah?

You are so beautiful.

Thank you.

No, I mean it, you are one of the most beautiful women

I've ever seen in my life.

Thanks.

I just want you to know that

I know that you're not quite sure about all this,

you know, about us.

But if you ever do decide to give it a chance, you know...

Give what a chance?

Me showin' you what I can do.

And exactly what does that mean?

It means me showin' you the kind of man that I can be.

For you.

That's all I'm sayin'.

Okay, Paul.

Let's go.

All right.

[knocking on door]

[Angela] Come in.

Hey.

Hey.

I just wanted to tell you something.

Okay.

Zac just left here, and he was feelin' like sh*t.

And I know how much you like him,

and, and how much he likes you.

-Right. -[Angela] And...

I was thinking maybe you should talk to him.

I mean, you always gave the best advice.

I think that ship has sailed, he doesn't wanna talk to me.

Will you just try?

Why?

Because...

I told him to be nicer to you.

Thank you, but he has his mind made up.

Well, you should try anyway.

Okay? 'Cause...

I'm gonna try to be nicer to you, too.

I appreciate you saying that, and, um...thank you.

But you know, it's, it's my fault.

I should've been forward with you from the beginning.

Yeah, but we still can't be together.

Yeah, yeah, you, you've been clear about that.

Okay, I wanna make sure, because Zac was lookin', like,

really pitiful, it was...

It was really that bad?

[Angela] Yeah.

-That's too bad. -[Angela] But...

He's in therapy now, and that's good.

Oh, that is good, yeah.

Yeah, he, he did mention that to me, that's good.

Yeah. You think that's good, so...

You think you should maybe do it?

What? Therapy?

Yeah.

Why, because I like to swing?

Yeah.

Angela, okay, hold on. Hold on.

There's nothing wrong with me.

Okay?

I dated a woman, and she introduced me to some friends.

And before we knew it, we were all into each other.

And I didn't have a problem with it.

Kinda liked it.

And I'm, I'm not, I'm not attracted to men, you know?

But in the moment?

I like that fun, f*ck it.

There's nothing wrong with me.

I see.

Yeah.

Why, do you think there's something wrong with me?

No, no, no, no, no. It's just, you're not for me.

Yeah, and...

You've made that very clear.

Yeah...

But...

What?

You miss me.

But I, I can't get that out of my head.

-That's fair. -[Angela] Yeah.

This can't happen.

Yeah, I understand that.

But I don't want you to think that I hate you, 'cause I don't.

I, I thought you did.

No. I don't.

I mean, come on, Angela.

Have you never done anything freaky?

You've never been in a threesome?

I mean, a threesome, yeah.

-Okay! -Actually...

All right!

It was more like a foursome,

but see, we was all about the men.

Okay?

Yeah, yeah, okay. I understand.

Yeah...

So...

Look, I don't know why I called you back.

I really gotta get to the open mic, so...

Can I come with you?

No, I think it's a little too soon.

Right.

Okay, cool. Well...

Good talk.

Yeah, okay.

I'll talk to you soon, okay?

Right.

[music]

sh*t.

[music]

What? How much is you gonna charge me?

All right.

-What's up? -What's up?

What you doin' down here?

I came just to look at you.

So, you wanna look at me?

[Zac] Yeah.

All right, I can go get naked right now.

Nah, nah, nah, I'm playin', I'm playin', you play too much.

-You play too much. -I'm serious!

Nah, I just...

[Connie] What?

You need to take a ride with me real quick.

Nah, man...

Let me, all right, all right.

Let me go change my clothes real quick.

Go ahead.

Yo, why you so scared?

You don't wanna come upstairs with me?

I can't. I can't.

Yo, what is with this girl

that got you bein' stingy with this d*ck?

I don't like it.

Connie, can you just go upstairs?

You gonna take the ride, or what?

I wanna ride you, that's the ride I wanna take.

You always playin'!

Aight.

Let me change my clothes.

[Zac] Fine.

Then I'll be back.

Don't look at me like that, Connie, come on, man.

I can't help but look at you like that.

Can you be a friend? Can't you just be a friend?

I just need a friend right now.

Aight.

I'ma change my clothes, I'll be right back.

Aight, I'ma wait down here.

[Connie] That's corny, but all right.

[music]

[music]

* Ooh, yeah *

* You're so sweet to me

* Your lovin' tastes so damn good *

* Sweeter than cherry ice cream *

* I just wanna give you all my lovin' *

So, you like comin' here, huh?

-I do. -[Paul] Yeah.

It's a good time.

It was nice the last time we were here.

Was that your first time coming?

[Paul] It was, yes.

It was also my first time hearing you sing.

Good Lord.

Yeah, I...

I don't do that often.

[Paul] No? Why not?

You know, I actually wanted to be a singer

when I was younger.

Really?

So, what happened?

Life.

Oh, come on, life. You shouldn't give up on it.

You have an amazing voice.

I know, but I hate the music business.

That bad?

It's the worst.

I guess it makes sense.

[Fatima] Yeah.

But I love what I do now, so it all worked out.

-[unintelligible]. -[Belinda] Hey, girl!

I'm glad you came back. You k*lled that sh*t last time.

You wanna sing again tonight, boo?

No, I don't. And don't call me up there.

Okay, well, how you doin'?

Belinda...

Is, is this Zac's replacement?

Okay, can you please get away from the table?

-My bad. -[Fatima] Now, go.

Okay!

Look, I'm sorry.

She wants me to go because that my girl.

Okay, and I did some foul sh*t, pushed up on her man,

but I was stupid.

[Paul] Well, it doesn't sound like you should've done that.

I know. Stupid, like I said.

But been trying to get her to understand that

I miss our friendship.

Okay, well, clearly this isn't the place

to have that conversation, so...

Okay, oh, sh*t!

You don't quit, you act like Fatima.

Look, we're just tryin' to have a good time tonight.

That's fine, but I ain't gonna be the reason

y'all ain't gonna have no good time tonight.

Okay, what's gonna be the reason?

[Belinda] Him. Yeah.

Look like he just spotted y'all!

Mm-hm, and he comin' right over here.

Ain't this some sh*t.

sh*t.

[Belinda] Hey, Zac!

Oh, sh*t!

I said hey, Zac.

All right, I think you should give it a rest.

Oh, sh*t!

Zac, I'm clearly on a date right now.

-[Zac] Are you really? -[Fatima] Yes!

Yeah, hello?

Does he make you laugh like I do?

Actually, he does.

Are you happy?

Zac, I just met him.

But he's off to a really good start.

And you just met him, remember that.

[Fatima] Yeah, I did.

But he's got a bit of an advantage over you.

'Cause he's done the work.

It don't matter if I'm doin' the work now?

With his guy?

He's a good guy.

I just don't wanna be hurt anymore.

I know that.

All right, and we talked about deal breakers, so...

Oh, he did that with y'all?

Yeah, he did.

That's good.

And true.

I know you miss me.

Zac, seriously?

You don't want me to hold you right now?

No, I don't.

He can't hold you like I hold you.

[Fatima] And how do you know that?

His body ain't custom made for yours like mine is.

He don't fit.

[Fatima] What are you tryin' to do right now, huh?

You think this is just gon' make me leave with you?

Yes.

Wow. Oh, okay.

You don't miss me?

What y'all talk about?

We talk about politics, we talk about philosophy.

Things we never talked about.

Man, that sh*t whack as f*ck, and you know it.

Yeah, to you.

You need that street. That gutter, that hood.

You need me.

No, Zac.

What I need is someone who's not gonna hurt me.

What you need is somebody that's gonna lay you on your back.

Lick from your knee, between your thighs.

I wanna make love to you.

I want the rain to come down and trap us in the house.

I wanna wake up with you on my chest.

So I can play with your hair.

Stop.

Look...

I'ma leave.

But I'ma leave the door unlocked.

And I'ma wait for you.

Yo.

Enjoy goin' home by yourself tonight.

This my woman. I love her.

She comin' home to me.

Drink's on you, though.

Door's unlocked, Fatima.

[music]

I'm, I'm sorry.

He's a real humble guy, huh?

You know what?

Let's forget about that. Where were we?

Is any of this bothering you?

No, I'm, I'm good, I'm good. I'm here.

Let's just...

Let's get some more drinks.

-Then I'm good. -[Paul] Now we're talkin'.

All right.

Waitress! Yeah.

Yeah, we'll get...

So, how did that go?

It went.

What'd you say?

What needed to be said.

She still with dude?

Hey, you made it.

What's up, man?

Nothin' much.

Zac whoop his a*s yet?

No.

He went to their table, though.

Oh, word.

Oh, sh*t, yo, she's still here, bro.

I need a drink.

[Tony] Yeah, yeah, I got you, bruh.

-Make it a double. -Yeah, of course, I mean, bro.

We could take him in the parking lot.

-Can we have two? -No.

Y'all can take him in the parking lot.

You know how light-skin n*gg*s is.

We ain't goin' back to jail. All right?

Bruh, you ain't sh*t, man.

Know the law, and know your limits, all right?

Hey, listen, listen.

Nobody takin' nobody to the parking lot.

Good, 'cause I ain't goin' to jail for yo b*tch.

Call her a b*tch again,

I'm takin' you to the f*ck' parking lot.

Bruh! Zac.

You really like this chick?

-[Tony] Yeah... -And you don't like her, why?

Take a look at what she's doin' right now.

Come on.

Nate, you know why you don't like her?

Because she told Lori.

Thank you!

And that's on you, bruh.

[Zac] Hell yeah, you need to f*ck' grow up!

Stop callin' her outside her name.

That's the last time I'ma tell you!

You know what? Aight.

I'm not havin' this conversation no more.

I hear you. All right?

Won't happen again.

And you over there with this b*tch!

I didn't even know. You said you didn't even care!

Belinda!

What, what's wrong?

You callin' my name like you did that night, Zac.

What's up?

Wow.

I'ma ask you and Nate this one time.

Well, what?

Did y'all create that fake profile for Fatima?

-Yo... -Hell to the no.

Don't roll your eyes.

n*gga, I don't even know what you talkin' about.

[Zac] I know you.

You know where she worked, and you know her schedule.

-True. -I didn't do it, Zac.

Look, she didn't do it, and I didn't do it.

All right?

You swear you ain't have nothin' to do with it?

I swear, look, I ain't even know about it until

she showed it to me at her place...

Hold on, wait.

Wait, what?

Did you set that up?!

Don't ask me that sh*t, no! Hell no!

You know what? Y'all n*gg*s trippin'.

Let me go start my show. f*ck that.

Y'all n*gg*s wild.

Bruh, it's all over her face, bruh.

[All] She did that sh*t.

I had no idea.

All right, she showed it to me at her place.

That's why I showed it to you, the next morning.

-You're sure? -[Nathan] Yes, Tony!

Zac.

I hope she don't think that I sent you here.

She won't.

Okay, good, 'cause I didn't.

Fine. But I'ma let you know now...

Your girl Belinda is f*ck' trifling.

What?

She created that fake profile for Fatima.

-[Tony] Facts. -Zac, please.

I'm tellin' you!

She did that sh*t.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

Whatever.

I can't believe it.

I don't, either.

I believe you, man.

The f*ck up with you?

sh*t, hey.

B...

Hey, so much drama goin' on in here tonight, sh*t!

Did you make a fake profile for Fatima?

Don't ask me that sh*t, Angela, you know I did not do that sh*t.

-Belinda... -[Belinda] "Belinda" what?

I told you I didn't do it.

-sh*t girl, come on, now. -Mm-mm, I don't believe you.

That's fine if you don't believe me,

but it's too much sh*t goin' on, I ain't got time for this.

And why you think that is?

Gon' blame this sh*t on me?

Whatever.

* When I'm gone *

* When I'm gone *

[applause]

Yeah.

Nah, he was good.

No, he was.

Damn, I have to start comin' here more often.

Yeah, this, um, actually used to be one of my favorite places.

Used to be?

Yeah... Long story.

Oh, don't tell me it involves a man as well.

It actually involves feelings.

-Feelings? -[Fatima] Mm-hm.

So, uh...

Speakin' of feelings,

honestly, how are you feelin' about all that?

What about it?

All that stuff he was sayin', he thinks he's slick.

Honestly...

I don't think he was bein' slick.

Oh, no, so he's just that cheesy?

I didn't think it was cheesy, either.

Okay, well... It was a little...

What?

No, you don't even think that.

You just sayin' it 'cause you a man.

No, because honestly, if I was able to do that...

Express myself as a man,

I woulda dragged his a*s away from the table.

Now see, that would've been childish.

Yeah, no, you right.

But at the same time, now you're thinkin' about him.

I'm actually not.

-No? -[Fatima] No.

I'm thinkin' about me.

[Paul] You're thinkin' about you?

I like the sound of that.

Yeah.

So, what is little Miss Me thinkin' about?

Well, me was thinking that we could get outta here.

-We? -Yeah, we.

I like it.

Really?

Really?

Okay, this is...

What?

Um...[clears throat]

How y'all, how y'all doin'?

Oh, hell nah.

[Zac] I want to talk to the ladies for a little bit.

If y'all don't mind.

I have this girl. Well...

I had this girl.

-What the hell... -Don't do it!

Shut up.

She's the best thing that ever happened to me.

I lost my vibe a little bit,

'cause my past kept comin' back, and...

Lost my confidence, and...

-I ran back to my old girl. -[crowd jeering]

Hey, shut up!

Don't boo, don't boo. Just give me a second.

[Nathan] Hey, hey, hey!

-Keep talkin'! -[Tony] It happens!

I didn't do anything, because I couldn't.

Turns out I love this girl so much...

That I just couldn't.

No, he didn't do it, 'cause I'm old girl!

Right here.

And I wanted to, 'cause that thang be thangin'.

Connie...

I'm just sayin'!

You know how I feel about you.

Connie.

Mr. Can't Stop, Won't Stop until he get that job done.

-[Nathan] Okay, Connie. -[Tony] Okay.

[Connie] I'm just sayin'.

You know, you came over.

Kitty cat was ready for you.

-Oh my God. -[Connie] But you couldn't!

-[Nathan] Oh my God. -Because of this lady.

-[Tony] Oh my God. -[Connie] The f*ck?

Connie!

[Belinda] You ain't gonna sing sh*t?

You know what, Zac? Uh-uh.

This an open mic night for singers,

so if a*s ain't singin', come down off that damn stage!

No, no. Belinda, let him talk.

-What the hell is goin' on? -[Tony] Damn right.

Let my boy rock. You got it, Zac!

-Sing away! -Come on.

Get his a*s off the stage.

I'm not a singer, but Fatima, I love you.

This song's for you.

[music]

* I've been sayin' that I'm glad you went away *

* These four walls closin' more every day *

* And I'm dyin' inside *

* And nobody knows it but me *

Thank you.

* Like a clown, I put on a show *

* It is real, and if nobody knows *

* That I'm cryin' inside *

* And nobody knows it but me *

* Why didn't I say the things I needed to say? *

* How could I let my angel get away? *

* Now my world is just a tumblin' down *

* I have to say it so clearly, but you're nowhere around *

* Nights are lonely and days are so sad *

* And...

* Just been thinkin' about the love that we had *

* And I missin' you *

* And nobody knows it but me *

[cheers and applause]

* I've been thinkin' about the love that we had *
