03x14 - Bubble Trouble

[bunniefuu]

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

DYLAN: I got you, babe.
- ..ever in life.

Like, just once would be great.

DYLAN: We're gonna leave.

Get in the BLEEP car, please, Dylan!

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

- Get out!
- You're being crazy right now!

You're going to get us BLEEP hurt!

Every moment I've spent
out of prison

has been an absolute nightmare.

You b*tch! You BLEEP b*tch!

Even if things are crazy,
I can't just...

I can't just walk away.

What the BLEEP?
This is not what I expected.

- I don't like to see you...
- Don't BLEEP touch me!

I moved to Mississippi
just to be with her,

bought this house for us
to live together with her daughter.

She relapsed. When the demons
got her, the demons got her.

You just think to yourself,

"You're gonna do it this time.
you're gonna stay out."

Kristi has not ever
turned herself in before.

I don't want to go to jail today.

TERRA: I just don't want you
to keep pushing it off.

If she wakes up tomorrow
and says she's not ready today,

I think I would probably have
to call the sheriff.

You know I gotta go to Texas.

Are you getting a one-way ticket
or a round-trip?

One-way.

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

Hey! Hey!

Quaylon doesn't need to go back
to Kansas City...

there's nothing for him there.

- 'Where are you at?'
- I'm at the crib. What's up?

I'm out. So what?

Man!

- We're pregnant?
- We pregnant!

- It is?
- I want to get remarried.

I want to know
if I can have your blessing.

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

Tiffanie is gonna be maid of honour.
I mean,

I would have asked my sister,

but I haven't spoken to her
in four and a half years.

My sister... she cut me off.

She thought that I was a bad
role model to be around my niece.

That's her. I think she saw me.

I hope that me and my sister
can work out our differences,

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

Hopefully, if everything goes well,
we get married, and...

Unbelievable!

Does Destinie know
you're close to Kelly?

- No.
DESTINIE: Who is that?

Kelly.

You're sorry...
I BLEEP never call you!

I love you with all my heart.
Will you marry me?

Yes.

Now that we're engaged,
I want Destinie to meet Kelly.

You want me to meet Kelly,
like, so bad,

then don't be mad
when your baby mama gets beat up.

This is just so much for me
to BLEEP handle.

We should still, like,
be in the honeymoon stage.

Like, we should...
everything should be BLEEP good.

KELLY: Shawn dating a woman
in prison

is very shocking, to be honest.

I didn't know how serious
it was gonna get.

I thought that it was
just gonna blow over.

I don't know her. I don't know.

I try to be nice, but it's usually

if somebody comes at me
with an attitude,

like, I'm... I'm Italian.

I will...
I don't back down at all.

I'm little... but I'm feisty.

Hi. I'm here to meet
a party of three.

OK, they're right around the corner.

It's important that I tell Kelly
that Destinie ain't going nowhere,

that, you know, she's in my life,

and Kelly's just gonna have
to accept that

so I can see the kids.

I'm... definitely nervous
because so many things can happen.

I hope Destinie keeps it
cool and calm,

and we can get through this
real quick.

Like, this better BLEEP go good,
dude.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Anyways, Kelly, this is Destinie.

Destinie, this is Kelly.

What I want to bring us to
right here is just kind of,

you know, to set some boundaries
and, you know,

and talking every day or whatever

has been very disrespectful
to Destinie.

So I'm just trying to go from there.

Well, I'm sorry, I'm not going
to set any kind of rules.

If I need to get a hold of you,

she's just gonna have
to deal with that.

- Well, I feel...
- Your kids are old enough

at this point where they can
call him himself. He doesn't...

- They don't want to.
- Hold the BLEEP up.

- Don't talk to me like that.
- Or what?

- Don't be disrespectful...
- She came at me with attitude,

and I didn't even say nothing
to her.

- Dude, you know what?
- You stepped into this.

That's your fault.
We have kids together...

I don't give a BLEEP about that.

- It's my rules.
SHAWN: Hey.

- It's my rules now.
- Kelly!

- Don't tell me how to talk.
- Or what?

- Look...
- Don't!

She attacked me...

All I did was sit down,
and she went crazy.

It's not gonna go down like that.

I mean, she's clearly got issues.

If you have to get a hold of me,
it's an absolute emergency,

that's one thing.

But other than that...
- That's not the way it works.

- It's disrespectful.
- All I'm saying...

I'm sorry.
Why would you go after some guy

that has a bunch of kids
that he has to take care of?

Why not? Oh, well.

I'd rather him be with somebody
normal than somebody like you.

What does that mean?
What does that have to do with me?

I've never been in jail.
I didn't do bad BLEEP,

so I at least have class.

- Look at you, b*tch.
- Kelly, stop it.

Don't talk to me like that.
We're gonna see...

SHAWN: One at a time.
You have to talk to her, though,

No, because she came at me
disrespectfully when I sat down.

What do you want me to do?
Kiss your a*s?

- No, but...
- I'm gonna tell you how I feel.

It doesn't matter.

Don't be a b*tch at me
when I didn't say BLEEP to you.

I didn't say nothing to you.
- OK, hey, stop.

Don't ever put your hand
in my face like that.

I'm just saying right now,
just quit being disrespectful.

DESTINIE: This is why I told you
this was out.

I don't understand why
you're calling him every day

and talking to him, anyway.
- It's none of your business.

DESTINIE: You know what?

We're actually getting married.
How 'bout that?

QUALANDRIA: Quaylon.
- Hmm?

Get up.
HE GROANS

- Come on, man.
- Get up, party animal.

RINGING TONE

- 'Hello.'
- Hello.

You want to talk about last night?

'Are you ready to talk
about last night?'

Yeah.

'Why you lie and said
you were at home

'and you were at a bar?'

Listen, first of all,

I apologise
for not telling you where I was at.

I mean, I shoulda did that,
it was wrong.

QUALANDRIA: You good?
- Yeah, I'm good.

OK. I'll see you in a little bit,
all right?

But second, though,
you've been down my back

so tough
since I've been down here,

I feel like
that's what I had to do.

I can't even get you not
to call my phone every two seconds.

Me and Shavel had
a big fight last night.

My sisters took a picture of me
and their friend

and put us on social media.

Shavel seen it, figured out
I was lying about where I was at,

so now it's a whole issue.

I was still in the wrong
because I lied.

But then we got to get
an understanding on this

smothering/detective BLEEP she on,
because it's a problem for me.

'I know you've been incarcerated
for 12 years...

'and you're finding yourself...
but at the same time,

'my life was put on hold
for two and a half years...

'and my daughter calls you Daddy.

'So the only thing I'm looking for
is commitment.

'And now that you're out,
I feel like I'm ready.'

Now, you say you ready,
but I'm not ready.

'But you was ready in jail, though.'

So, that don't mean we gonna
get married tomorrow.

'Listen, I'm not trying to be
your girlfriend forever, either,

'but we... we agreed to wait
till you get out of jail.

'And now that you're out of jail,
it's like,

' "Oh, I need to find myself,
so..." '

Well, with this marriage BLEEP,
it's gonna come when we both ready.

I feel like Quaylon has emotionally
distanced himself from me...

since he left
and went to go see his family.

So I need to think about
what's best for me and Mi'elah.

'I'm not trying to argue with you,
Quaylon,

'but marriage is what I want.

'Like, I'm ti...
I'm tired of waiting.

'We going on three years.

'I'm ready for marriage.'

I'm not ready to propose
to Shavel...

but I'm also not ready to lose her

BECAUSE I won't propose to Shavel,
so...

I'm either gonna marry this girl
or I'm not,

and I'm gonna have to make
a decision,

cos she ain't gonna stick around
too much longer.

'I'm about to go run some errands
with Mi'elah.'

Ah, let me holler at her.

'Nah, I think it's best
that we try to figure out

'what's going on with us right now.'

Hmm. All right.

I'll holler at y'all later, then.

'OK.'

Damn!

I'd be a little scared right now.

My sister might be coming
to the wedding.

What?! Do you really think
she's gonna show up?

The last time I talked to Heather
was after we broke up.

KNOCKING

- Oh, my God.
- I'm so sorry.

- It's so overwhelming, Tara Belle!
- I know.

LINDSEY: 'Tara Belle and I met
through friends

'prior to me getting arrested.'

Me and her got really close
very fast...

and it progressed into
a relationship.

I have not told Scott that me
and Tara Belle were girlfriends.

- Mm-hm.
- And so...

Right.

Right.

The Scott relationship...
it's a little concerning,

because I don't know how...

..open to the idea
of her having a relationship

outside of their relationship

He's going to be...

I mean, this is where
she's trying to make a life,

so I would... I would be a little...

I'd be a little scared right now if
she had to pick between Scott and I.

Yes.

I don't like having secrets,
but if I talk to him about this,

I can guarantee
that it's gonna end badly...

so I'll just keep my mouth shut.

JOHN SIGHS

Oh, Meekie, I'm gonna miss you.

TERRA: All right,
so we should roll out.

- Thanks, babe.
- Yep.

I had ran off from the halfway house

and, um, got overwhelmed with
everything that's going on, and...

I was high on crack cocaine.

What usually happens
when I get emotionally overwhelmed

is I just keep using...

I love you, babe.
- I love you, too.

..so I'm going to turn myself in.

And it's... it's not cos
it's gonna look good on me...

it's because it's what...
what's right.

If the cops would catch me...

I don't want the family
to be in jeopardy

because, you know,
I'm at the house or whatever.

And I just want to get this time
done and over with.

If they say anything about this,
just send it back to me.

But I want you to take it in
with you.

KRISTI: They're gonna send it back,
babe.

JOHN: Let them know
it's a native religion thing.

TAMMY: Probably won't even
let you go in

with your wedding band, will they?

Surprisingly enough,
she woke me up this morning

and says,
"It's time to go back to jail."

I'm saddened by the fact
that she's leaving,

but I'm relieved by the fact that
she made this decision on her own.

I am very proud of what you...

of what you're doing.

KRISTI: I know, Mom. Thank you.

Give me a hug.

BOTH: Hm.

Oh, snug, snug, snug.
KRISTI LAUGHS

Oh, mama bear.

Going back and having something
happen to my family or my husband,

it... I don't know how...
I don't know what I'd do.

- Jeez.
- Well, be careful. Sit down.

SIGHING

Sit down, Mom.
- I was kinda weebling up there.

Weeble-wobble.
- You OK?

- Oh, I'm fine.
- I love you, Mom.

It's gonna be difficult to go back,

wondering if my mom's gonna
pass away while I'm in there.

And then I don't start to think
about the stuff

until I get locked up.

You know, I had my grandpa die
while I was in there, and...

that was one of the hardest things
ever, and I just...

I don't even know why I BLEEP up!

THEY CRY

Oh, my sister loves me that much?

LAUGHTER

- You're my best friend.
- Oh!

You're my best friend, too, sister.

Death.

The only time that I...
That I know that she's OK

is when she's locked away...

..and...
SHE SOBS

I need to be able to...

..have a conversation with her
without having...

being able to talk over the phone

and her not have enough money
to be able to talk to me, and...

I just... I need her
to be with me... be with us.

JOHN: OK, so...
- Love you, Mom.

Love you, too.

I'll see you in a while, Tammy.

- All right.
- Love you, Mom.

Love you.
SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY

- I love you, baby.
- I love you, too.

JOHN: Dropping her off
at the jail...

it's gonna be rough.

The pain
that she's gonna go through,

knowing that she got a chance
to live this life for a minute...

..and then... now it's gone.

MAURICE: Damn!

I'm late.

JESSICA:

DISCONNECT TONE
Stupid.

Today is finally the day that Mylie
is moving in with me and Scott.

You know this is just a trial run,
dear, right?

I'm gonna do everything in my power
to keep Mylie safe...

whatever it takes.

This is the first day
of the rest of anybody's life.

WOMAN: Come on in.
- Oh, my God.

Oh, wow, pretty. Oh, how cute!

Your make-up artist
is ready for you.

- Ooh!
- Ready to get started?

JESSICA: Let's go.
- OK. Happy wedding day.

- Hey!
- Hey.

- How are you?
- You made it.

JILL: You made it.

- Happy, happy day.
- Yes.

I'm feeling butterflies
in my stomach

cos this is THE happiest moment
of my life

that I've waited for
for four and a half years.

Isn't it pretty out there?

TIFFANY: I took a picture.
It's so pretty.

My sister might be coming
to the wedding.

- What?!
- Yeah.

She brought over these glasses
to my mom,

and she said she might be coming,
but we don't know for sure yet.

It's been four years, like, do you
really think she's gonna show up?

I don't know.

It would be nice.

I hope, one day, me and my sister
can work things out

and she gets to meet Maurice
and see that he is a good person.

He's not just this bad person that
made a mistake and went to prison.

'I know that she would see
what I see.'

And one day,
everything can be different.

And I told her
there's a baby on the way,

so she maybe went home and
did some thinking, and we'll see.

- Well, I hope so.
- Yeah.

I would be very happy and excited
if Jen did show up for the wedding,

and, you know, cos Jessica
was at her wedding

and stood up for her.

Jen can see that they're doing
the wedding today

and now they have a baby,
so it's a little more serious now,

and so I think she may want
to slowly work her way in.

She will not dive in.

LAUGHTER

Show y'all my little jug, man,
you feel me?

Let me pop my top, you feel me?

So, everybody at the house.

My little cousin Roni...

Roni my best man.

..his wife... my aunties.

I got my mama here...
and my childhood friend young Taz...

because today is the day I say,
"Oh, yes, I do."

DOORBELL RINGS

Hey, here he is!

- How's it going?
- How are you doing?

This is the man of the hour,
everybody, this is my wife's dad.

This is my cousin Taz right here.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

This Jessica dad right here, Ma.

- Pleasure to meet you.
- This is my auntie.

- How you doing?
- Hi.

MAURICE: So, what's going on?

I've just come over
and meet everybody

before we went over there...
see what's going on.

MAURICE: OK. OK.

Think I could have
a little chat with you?

- Yeah, let's step out back.
- Excuse me, Mom.

- OK. We ready for the day.
- Yes, we are.

JACKIE: We are ready.

DAVE: This is the way to do it.

I'm glad to see 'em both
have this moment.

You ready for this?
- Yes, I am. I am.

I'm kind of nervous a little bit,
but I can get through it.

She's all yours now.
You've taken over the payments.

- You ready to hand her over?
- That's it.

You get the payment book
from here on.

OK, I can take that.

Well, we better get going.
We got to get ready.

We don't want to be late.

After this wedding has passed,
I'm finna to get me a job,

I'm finna to take care
of my household.

I'm gonna sit down.
My back is k*lling me.

Ugh.

JENNIFER: Hi!

I just wanted to let you know
that I was here.

JILL: I love it. Aw!

Oh, I'm so glad.

JESSICA: What do you think, Jen?

- I love it.
JILL: It looks really pretty.

MAKE-UP ARTIST: Yes.

But, Mom,
are you gonna come in here?

- Sure.
- OK.

JILL: It looks good, huh?
Did you see the...

I put the bigger bow,
and it's, like, perfect.

- Yeah.
- It kind of slipped a little...

JENNIFER: Yeah.

I'm so happy.

'I can't even say the word for it.'

Like, more than happy. Beyond happy.

I'm glad you came
and showed up for my wedding.

I'll see you in the reception.

We stuck. We ran out of gas.

That's about it.

Run, BLEEP, run!

WOMAN: Are you guys ready
to get started?

- Yes.
- OK.

MAURICE: Man, we just ran out
of gas, man.

JESSICA:

Yeah, right here
on Craig and Walnut.

Taz, well, he went...
he ran to go...

he went to get some gas, though.

DISCONNECT TONE

JESSICA: Stupid. Ran out of gas.

HE SIGHS

Y'all want to make some cookies?

- Yeah.
- Yeah!

We already sprayed the pan.

Just grab... yeah.
There you go.

Good job.

So have you talked
to Quaylon lately?

I feel like I talked
to him more

when he was in jail versus now.

Sometimes he doesn't
call at all.

- Mm. I don't know.
- It's a totally 360.

It's been two weeks
since Quaylon left

and went to go see
his family in Texas.

And things have started to shift
in our relationship.

Quaylon feels that I keep
pressuring him.

Like, he was the one
that was telling me

about his dream wedding.

And now that he's out, it's just...
now I'm pressuring him?

I don't even really know Quaylon.

Hold on just a second.

Mi'elah, you want to
go in there and colour?

- I want to play.
- Yeah, go colour for Mommy.

I mean, the...
My concern is that,

you know,
he's been in jail for 12 years.

So it's like he hasn't had time
to really be in a relationship

and really be committed
to one woman.

That is a big concern.

At the end of the day,
I can only go by the words

that he was telling me
when he was in jail.

But now everything just...
went sideways.

So now it's like, what...
what we doing?

You deserve a whole lot better
than that.

I don't even know
how to even start.

Like, I'll go on social media,

and... he's on a date
with another female.

And it looked like
they was kicking it,

enjoying they selves.

Like, damn.

And I've confronted him about it.

And what'd he say?

"Oh, that ain't nothing.
She just a friend or whatever.

"It's not that deep,

"so I don't want you
thinking that it is."

Come on, now.
Like, she's just a friend?

My thing is,
how did you meet her?

Right. One of his sisters
hooked them up, I'm sure.

- You know?
- Oh. my God.

Whoo! This is crazy.

Like, look at all that
you invested in him.

Cars and clothes and money
and all that stuff.

Yeah, he need to let me know
what's going on with us.

Because I...
my life has been on hold.

Like, you need to own up
and be a man

like you said you was in jail,

and be the same man out of jail
and let me know what's up.

Why even wait on that?

You know, I wouldn't be
waiting on him

to see what's up with him
or none of that.

It would be a wrap for me already.

Yeah, I get what you're saying.
Like, let it go.

But he owes me answers,
cos guess what?

My daughter is involved in this.

I don't let just different man
walk in my life like that.

- Absolutely.
- Around my daughter, so...

Well, she believes
that he's coming back.

Absolutely.

Are you sure that
he's gonna come back?

I don't have a good feeling

about Quaylon
and Shavel's relationship.

I think that he's not
being committed.

I think he's doing
what he want to do.

It's not only my daughter

that's gonna be emotionally drained
through this,

but my granddaughter.

She's used to him now
being there,

and she thinks that
he's gonna be there forever.

So it's like...
It's a disappointment.

Yeah, he needs
to be a man and stand up,

face you, and tell you
what's going on.

He owes you that much.

I just... don't know
where we stand right now.

This is the first day
of the rest of anybody's life.

I have no intention
on being around.

- I'll beat the BLEEP out of you.
- Do something about it.

Hey, hey! Stop.

Oh, man.

I need a... I need a minute.

- Lindsey?
- Yeah.

- Where are you?
- I'm in the office.

What you doing?

Buying BLEEP for the house,
trying to get everything together.

Hurricane Lindsey
went through here.

My dream home is around


all stainless-steel appliances.

Since, like,
smart homes are a thing now,

I'm adding that
to my dream-home list.

Now you can smart home your house,
and I want a smart home.

I want to be able to do
everything from my phone

because it's cool.

So you got the bed
for Mylie Grace. What else?

Coffee table. The table ends.

We have no dressers in our room.
We have no nightstands.

Well, you said you don't
really use dressers,

and you just hang yours...
hang things in the closet.

We have no hangers.

Going to prison,
it really kind of saved my life

and changed it for the better,
which is crazy.

Right now,
I'm living north side Chicago.

I'm loving it.
Nice little two-bedroom spot.

I am still on parole,

still have to do
all the random drug tests.

Even though I'm home,
I'm not totally free,

but, hopefully,
they'll let me off soon.

I've been working six,
seven days a week,

marketing for a company.

We specialize
in renewable-energy products,

Cajun seasoning.

I actually am making more money now
than I was making selling drugs.

If I would have known
that this was a thing,

I would have never went to prison.

Mm!

KNOCKING

- Hey, honey.
- Hey!

How are you, sweetheart?

Oh, I'm so glad to see you,
sweetheart.

Oh, my God.
Look at your place.

I was just making dinner.

- Ooh! Ooh!
- I got some wine.

Let me help you here.

So tell me
how everything's going.

Everything's going good.

Yeah.
So are you seeing anybody?

Um...

- Hopefully not Heather.
- I'm tal...

I'm not talking to Heather.

OK.
I know, but I got to ask.

You know, I worry.

I know. I know.

The last time I talked to Heather
was after we stopped filming.

Give me my BLEEP phone.

Put it through the crack
and get out of my life.

I will never speak to you again!

HORN HONKS

This is a woman that I've loved

and built a relationship with
for five years.

- These are about done here.
- Are they?

And we broke up after just two days
in the real world.

It was definitely hard,

cos just as rough
as things were with Heather,

there's definitely a, like,
grieving feeling.

Yeah, well, that's... I know.

Just when you lose somebody
that you're so close to for so long.

I don't have any animosity
towards Heather.

She was there for me
in a time when I needed her,

and I'll love her forever for that.



- Hi, Bruce, I'm here.
- Hey!

- So good to see you.
- Nice to see you.

Sorry I'm late.

Since Dylan and I broke up,

I've just been focused
on rebuilding my life.

I have been building
this business.

Mostly sexy content,
but just content creation.

And I feel like
the sky is the limit.

- I'm sorry, Bruce. You're the best.
- You look great.

When he got out of prison...

Soften the shoulders
a little bit

and bring your face around.

..I think I was just so shocked
because the way Dylan was acting

was not at all like
the way he promised to be.

CAMERA CLICKS
Good.

He was just very distant.

He would touch me
and I wouldn't feel, like,

the same passion that I felt
when I was visiting him in prison.

Beautiful. Hold.
It's a wedding gown.

I wish I wouldn't have been
so emotionally triggered.

Good. Hold.

But Dylan definitely
took advantage of me

when he was in prison.

He's been calling me his wife
this whole time.

And then he just discarded me
when he was done with me.

I don't wish anything bad
for anyone,

but I'm still a little salty
that I wasted so much time.

There's absolutely no chance

that I would ever get back
together with Dylan ever again,

um... ever.

- It's none of your business.
- OK, hang on. Listen, stop.

That's not your...

We're actually getting married.
How about that?

- So it is my business.
- It's still not your business.

They are our children, not yours.

It doesn't matter.
What I'm saying is that I...

I have a right to call him
any damn well time I want.

Actually, it will because I have no
intention of being around you.

I'll still beat the BLEEP
out of you.

- All right.
- Do something about it.

Kelly, listen. No, no, stop.
We're gonna stop.

One of the time, you guys talk.

Then tell her to quit
being disrespectful!

No, this is how it is.

We have a BLEEP relationship,

and either she can respect it
or not.

That's your problem, not mine.

- It's gonna be your problem.
- No, it's not.

- That's what I thought.
- OK, hey, stop.

She's the mother of my kids,
but they don't like one another,

so... but it's really important
to me that they get along,

just for my kids' sake.

- All right.
- Get to the point.

So, me and Destinie are together.

We're engaged.
We're gonna get married.

So it's just gonna
have to stop, you know,

as far as, you know,

talking all the time,
every day on the phone, and...

Yeah, you never had a problem
with that before

with your other girlfriends,
now, did you?

I was wrong. I didn't see how it
was disrespectful to them, so...

Just get to the point
and let's BLEEP go

because I'm not gonna
deal with this.

Tell her what the BLEEP you have
to tell her, and let's leave.

So that's what we're gonna do.

I'm just gonna not talk to you
and just kind of go from there.

Well, then,
as far as that goes and stuff,

then you won't be talking
to your kids

because I'm flat-out
not having her around my kids,

and that's choosing her
over your own kids.

Like I said, you're just gonna...
I'm with her.

We're gonna get married
and that's my choice.

There's obviously something
else going on,

like I thought,
because she wouldn't have got so mad

about them not being able
to talk anymore.

And if her kids need
to talk to Shawn,

then they can call him themselves.

They're old enough
to use a phone and dial.

I don't see what the big deal is.

Her talking about me in jail,
being with a normal person,

I really want to BLEEP
beat her BLEEP a*s.

Oh, man.

Like, I don't let people talk
to me like that. I just don't.

Well, and keep in mind
that your choice

chooses you to be out
of your kids' life.

I think Kelly is just being
a little bit jealous

just because I finally found love
and I finally found happiness.

I just think it really bothers her.

For real, I'm done with this.
Let's go.

Stop for one second, OK?

Dude, I'm gonna beat the BLEEP
out of her.

I'm telling you right now.

Everybody making a big deal
out of something.

You know, but if I have doubt,

I'm not just gonna settle
for that.

If anyone here has a reason
these two should not be married,

speak now or forever
hold your peace.

MAURICE: Run, BLEEP, run!

Damn, man.
I ain't feeling this, bro.

MAURICE: My boy!

Know I gotta come save the day.
Whoo!

Man, that was a hell of a run.

Lucky it's your wedding day.

- Ha!
- Yeah!

- Oh!
- Yeah, we on, b*tch!

I know. We ran out of gas.

Mm, mm, mm.
I'm ready to go get married, man.

Come on, let's do this.

CHUCKLES

Hi. Wow. You look fantastic.

Thank you. You look so handsome.

- You sure you're ready for this?
- Yep. You ready for it?

I'm ready. Let's do it.

OFFICIANT: Please rise.

JESSICA: The last four years
of me being with Maurice

while he's in prison
has been a crazy road.

Waiting for my husband
to be released to me...

Wow! Mwah!

Kiss you all day, baby.

Issues with my family

about me being married
to a man in prison.

Some people can put on a show.

Hell's gonna come down
if something happens.

We pregnant! Yeah, baby!

And I finally get
to have a real wedding.

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

JESSICA: I'm so glad that my family

now can accept my relationship
that I have with Maurice.

I just wanted to let you know
that I was here.

Ha! I love it! Aw!

It makes me feel really grateful.

Friends and family,

Maurice and Jessica have asked
for your love and support

as they journey
through life together.

- Who presents Jessica to Maurice?
- Her mother and I do.

The institution of marriage
is most sacred.

It is the blending of two lives
and the union of two natures.

If anyone here has a reason
these two should not be married,

speak now or forever
hold your peace.

Maurice, do you take Jessica
in the presence of these witnesses

to be your lawfully wedded wife?

Oh, yes, I do.

LAUGHTER

Jessica, do you take Maurice
in the presence of these witnesses

to be your lawfully wedded husband?

Yes, I do.

And now, Maurice,
please secure the ring

you have for your bride, sir.

Ah! There we go.
There we go.

Now, Jessica, secure the ring
you have for Maurice, please.

By the authority vested in me,

I now pronounce you
husband and wife.

Maurice,
you may kiss your bride.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It is my distinct pleasure
to present to you

the reason we are all gathered
here today,

Maurice and Jessica!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

JESSICA: When I first started
talking to Maurice,

I didn't think this would happen,

having this big wedding
like this, no.

- Me either. But, hey, look at us.
- But here we are.

We got a child on the way,
married.

Can't nothing come between us.

No females, no parents,
no sisters, no brothers,

no aunties, no cousins,
no homies, no nothing.

Can't nothing come between
me and my wife.

We rock and we solid.
That's what it is.

WOMAN: Aw!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I am so happy and proud
of my son and his wife.

He found somebody that
he really loved and care for.

They happy with each other,
so that's wonderful.

WOMAN: Go, go, go!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you, thank you.

This is what I dreamed,
and used to sit in that cell,

you know, look up and just look
at the pictures going,

"Man, I can't wait. I can't wait."

This is what I hoped for.

- Say "cheese."
- Cheese!

And I'm happy I got this.
Thank you, baby.

Mwah! Mwah!

- Love you.
- I love you more.

- It's hard, man.
- I know!

JESSICA LAUGHS

Feels good, man.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Being back in Kansas City
feel bittersweet.

This is perfect.

There's just a lot of BLEEP
running through my mind.

my family, how sad they was
yesterday when it was time to leave.

Since I left Shavel, man,
she's talking all that BLEEP.

"He ain't coming back."

Now I'm here now.
What's she got to say now?

She don't even know I'm here.

I want to see the look on
Shavel's face when she see me.

It's just that I've been
missing them since I've been gone.

But if I have doubt
and I'm not 100% sure,

I'm not just gonna settle for that

because it's about me too,
not just her.

So I'm just thinking about
a lot.

You know what I mean?

I feel like, once I see Shavel,

she gonna tell me everything
I need to know.

You know?
So it's what today is for.

When I met Shavel,
I was BLEEP up.

Going through some stuff,
you know what I'm saying?

And she showed up in my life
at the right moment.

She made sure I'm straight.

She's considerate.
She's caring.

She's nurturing.
Know what I'm saying?

She tells me to stay creative
and things like that.

And that's what... that's what
drew my attention to her.

You know what I'm saying?
My dreams matter to you.

She has all the qualities
of a wife.

But at the same time,
I don't know if I'm ready right now.

You know, but I want Shavel
to know that I love her, man.

And I feel like she thinks
that I don't

because I haven't gave her
a ring yet.

I probably just... I gotta see her.

DOG BARKS

Who is that?

I've only been here
two weeks, so...

I just don't really know
how Scott and Lindsey

are coming to pull it together.

Like, I'm gonna BLEEP seriously,
like, BLEEP hurt this girl, dude.

I don't care.
It's gonna be done.

KELLY: She threatened me.

How do I know what she's gonna do,
you know, to Shawn?

So let's go back.

Now I'm worried. She's not coming
anywhere near my kids.

You doing OK?

You want an honest answer?

- Yeah.
- No.

Give me your hand, baby.

You thinking about, babe?

I don't know.

SISTER: Me and John are gonna
set up the bedroom,

get that all spiffied
for when you get out.

You guys are awesome.

I'm definitely sad
driving back to Dubuque

to turn my wife in.

And it is a little disappointing
that, you know, at least in my mind,

I either didn't do enough,

or it just wasn't strong enough yet
to keep her, uh,

out of this situation.

I feel really clear-headed now.

JOHN: You're doing better
than I am.

So how long do you think
they'll make you sit in, um, county?

I really don't know.

Gotta keep myself together,
keep my emotions intact.

Absolutely.

Get back to where I was at
in my head

before the relapse happened.

Drugs will take a really big
toll on your body

and your mind and your spirit.

I know.

SOBS

I know.

- I love you so much.
- I love you so much too.

No...

If I show weakness
in this situation, uh...

..then I might not be
strong enough to help them,

the ones that depend on me,
you know.

I have to be the strong one
for them.

You know, it doesn't matter
how I feel, you know, because...

..you know, I've been there,
I'll make it through.

But, you know,
my family, and Kristi,

they need to know that,
you know,

I'm gonna help them
make it through.

And that's my job.

My job is to help them survive this.

And, um...

..I hide it pretty well.

They have no idea.

KRISTI: Being back to Dubuque,
it's a lot to sink in right now.

BLEEP hate this town.

Yeah, I hate this town too.

That's our old house.

♪ I'm so scared... ♪

- Where do I need to go?
- The jail's right there.

Well, I'm about as ready as ever.
Let's go.

When someone you love
goes to prison,

you're not the only one
doing the time.

Yeah, that's so true.

You know, we're gonna have to
ride it out with her.

I think there is an extremely
strong love between us

that could very well survive
her prison time,

and I hope with everything
that I got that it does.

I can honestly say I...

I've never been in love
like this before.

I... I can't imagine
what it's gonna be like

for the next few months.

- Ready, princess?
- No.

♪ I don't feel... ♪

Let's go.

♪ Anything... ♪

What she's going through right now
is something that, uh,

no human being should ever
have to live through.

The sound of those keys,
the slamming of the metal doors.

You lose a part of you.

To... to have her
going through that is...

is probably the, uh,
worst experience

that a single person can, uh...
can go through.

♪ If you go... ♪

I think she did a hell
of a lot better than we did.

Right.
I'm proud of her, very proud.

KRISTIANNA: It's just...
It's a scary situation

to know that I'm gonna be locked
behind four walls again

and in a barb-wire fence,
waiting to...

just waiting to get back out
to my family

that I know is good for me
right now.

And I'm tired of...

I'm tired of living this life,
going back.

I mean, I... I don't really know

what to experience

out of life.

It feels like I'm doing life.

SHAWN: Well, that sure
in the hell didn't go

like I thought it was gonna go.

Dude, I'm gonna beat the BLEEP
out of her, dude. This is it.

She's been totally
disrespectful to you.

Like, this is why,
because you let it happen.

- No, I didn't.
- Yes, you BLEEP did, dude.

- All right, well...
- Yeah, you BLEEP did.

Like, I'm telling you
right BLEEP now.

I don't care if she goes
after you for child support

because that's what BLEEP
needs to happen anyways.

You paying her BLEEP rent
and all of her bills is out.

Like, I'm gonna BLEEP
seriously, like,

BLEEP hurt this girl, dude.

I don't think that they should
be talking at all, period.

And I told her that.

I told her it's BLEEP
way out of line

and it's just weird that
she flipped out that bad

to the point where,
you know, she said,

"Well, then, I guess you won't have
nothing to do with your kids."

Like, that's crazy as BLEEP to me.

I... I need a...
I need a minute.

When you love your kids,
for one,

you're not gonna want them
to not see the other parent.

Like, that's just BLEEP...
It's weird.

I know what I want
in a relationship,

and I don't want
to put up with this BLEEP

And I don't want you to put...
And I chose you.

- I just chose you over...
- Over her.

That's it.
Not for your kids.

What are your kids have to do
with you talking to her? What?

I don't know what my kids...

Exactly.
You should have BLEEP asked.

"Why do you need to
talk to me so bad? Why?"

- So let's go back.
- No, I don't want to BLEEP go back.

It's done and over with, dude.
It should have been said.

You should have thought about that
because that was the whole issue.

Why... why is it such a big deal
that you and her talk?

It doesn't make any
BLEEP sense to me.

Like, is that what you want?
Be able to talk to her?

You can do that cos I'll move on.

I can get anything in this
BLEEP world that I want.

No, I don't want to.
That's why I just told her that.

Like I just told her,
we're gonna change my number.

We're gonna do what I said...

And I swear to BLEEP God
on my grandma's BLEEP grave, Shawn,

if there's anything that, anything,

and I start feeling
and something's not right,

and it starts getting
like that, dude,

we're just gonna BLEEP end it.

I don't care if we're married
three months.

I don't care.
It's gonna be done.

Right now, I don't think
there's anything that I can do

to smooth anything
over with Destinie,

but I want to be able
to see my kids.

Maybe if things cool down,
you know,

I would try to call Kelly,
you know, and try to fix it,

just kind of go from there
and just see what happens.

I'm so mad.

I'm glad you held yourself back.
I know you're...

Just be quiet, please.

Like she has any room to talk.
She's ugly as BLEEP.

Like, I don't know what the BLEEP
you were thinking.

Like, hating-a*s b*tch.

DESTINIE: Her saying that, you know,
"It's never been a problem

"when you've had your other
little girlfriends,"

to me, that means that
it's been an ongoing thing.

They've always talked,
so, I mean, I'm sure that

there's probably other things
that I don't know about.

Like, I mean, I can only imagine.

The whole situation,
you, your BLEEP actions,

the things that you've done,
it's BLEEP weird.

So now we're in this situation
because you BLEEP allowed it to.

At this point, like,

I don't know what's gonna happen
with Shawn and I,

and I don't know
how I'm gonna get past this.

If he thinks he's gonna
disrespect me,

like, I'm gonna BLEEP leave.

And do what the BLEEP I want.

What?

Beat her a*s, dude,
so I feel better. That's what.

Now I'm worried
cos she's clearly got issues.

She threatened me,
for one, right there.

How do I know what she's
gonna do, you know, to Shawn?

I do care. And around my kids?

Oh, heck no.
That ain't gonna happen.

She's not coming anywhere
near my kids,

and that's just it.

DESTINIE: Then she wants
to get BLEEP crazy with me,

talk BLEEP to me, dude?

I will beat the BLEEP out of her,
dude.

I know you would. I wouldn't even
blame you if you did.

- I'd bail you out.
- I'm so BLEEP mad, dude.

There's a lot of things running
through my mind right now,

but I feel as if I'm doing
the right thing.

That's my baby girl.

I don't think that Shawn's
really prepared for what's to come.

SCOTT: "Best day ever"?

HORN HONKS

DOGS BARKING

I've been in quarantine
for 14 days,

and today is finally the day

that Mylie is moving in
with me and Scott.

I could not be happier.
I have my daughter here with me.

Oh, look at you!
You're so a big!

Look at how tall you are!

I can just...
If I want to give it up

and give her a hug right now,
I can.

I can reach over
and hold her hand.

All these things I couldn't do
when I was in prison,

I can now do, and it just...
it feels great.

SCOTT: It makes me feel really good

that Lindsey and Brenda both feel
comfortable enough with me

to have Mylie Grace, you know,
move in under this roof.

- That's yours.
- Really?

Yeah, really! Ha! That's for you.

It gives me kind of a sense
of purpose again

that I, um, certainly lost
when my own son, uh, died.

So, uh... and it's a very good,
positive feeling.

LINDSEY: You want to go check out
the room you're gonna be staying in?

Your temporary room, Mylie.

- Temporary until your room is done.
- Sure.

GASPS

Wow!

You like it? Yeah?
It's OK?

Scott,
he's done a lot for me.

He has been working on my room.

So I'm very appreciative of him.

- This OK?
- Yes.

Yeah?

I'm really excited to move in
with my mom

because we can do
all of the fun things

we didn't get to
in the last four years together.

And I'm excited to be living
together for the next...

forever.

You know this is just
a trial run, dear, right?

- I know.
- I mean, and I'll come see her.

And if she wants
to come home, we just...

- Have to let her.
- We have to let her.

We just have to do
what we have to do.

I've had her for four years,

so it's gonna be weird for you
to be giving her,

like, orders, I guess.

Is that what you say?

- Parenting.
- Parenting. Exactly, parenting.

- Parenting.
- It's gonna be tough.

I hope that
you've learned enough that...

No.

Well, we're starting out slow.
This is a trial run.

If Lindsey falls back
into her old ways,

I will do everything in my power
to keep Mylie safe,

whatever it takes.

How is it with you and Scott?
You think you'll make it?

- You think you'll...
- I'm certainly gonna try.

I want you to give it 150%,
whatever,

cos Mylie needs to see that,
actually, people do get together

and stay together and...

Stability.

Stability other than me,
cos I'm not gonna be there forever.

You know.

And if it involves Scott, great,

cos he seems like he's ready
to be there for her too.

Yeah. I mean, I do want to say
this is where I'm gonna be

the rest of my life, but I've
only been here two weeks, so...

BRENDA: Every night, I pray
that they find that thread

or whatever it takes
to make it work.

But, you know, right now,
I just don't really know

how both Scott and Lindsey
are coming to pull it together.

LINDSEY:
Everything feels right again.

It's how it's supposed to be.

When you're in prison,
and you think back

to how it was when you were at home,

it's almost, you know,
a dream-like state.

So for it to be real,

it quite literally
is a dream come true for me.

I think this is the first day
of the rest of anybody's life,

regardless of what the future holds.

I've tried not to really look
too far down the road

because normally,
when you make those plans,

there's always a wrench
that's thrown into it or something.

You know,
you got to make detours.

And I've learned that
as I've gone along.

I am happy with where
our relationship is at.

You know,
there have been some, you know,

some negative instances.

LINDSEY: I'm not gonna walk
around with bare feet

in this disgusting-a*s house.

SCOTT: There's no road map
with someone coming out of prison

and moving in with you
and bringing their daughter.

Look, I don't like to see you...

Don't BLEEP touch me!

I do have a concern that Lindsey
will reconnect

with, um,
some of her old friends

that may not be
a good influence on her.

My hope is, is that Lindsey, um,
will exercise good judgment.

I just gotta sit next to a wall
for two hours.

Based upon the potential
for her

to get back involved
into that lifestyle.

My dream of my future with Lindsey
would be to build our relationship

and getting married at some point.

You know, one step at a time.

First thing I want to do is...

go on a trip.

SCOTT CHUCKLES

Now we'll have to get a car
that actually houses three people.

Lindsey deserves a luxury,
nice car that she wants to drive

that fits her personality,
so that's the plan.

If it fits her personality,
it's gonna be expensive.

I fully know that.

But kind of want to limit

Lindsey's ability
to hit the accelerator, so...!

You get in one high-speed chase,
nobody let you live it down.

Who is that?

What?!
LAUGHS

What?

- What?!
- Give me a hug, girl.

- Ha!
- Ah!

Oh, my God!

She thought I wasn't
coming back yet.

Hey! Come on!

Ah, what's up, pretty?
What's up?

I talk all my BLEEP,
thinking that he wasn't coming back.

I can't believe it.

- I cannot believe you!
- Mommy!

What's up?

No, we're not doing that.

- Did we just do the top?
- Switch?

We switch? We switch?

OK, switch it back up.

Yeah, yeah, come on,
let's go to the park

so we can let your mom
and your dad catch up.

QUAYLON: I'm happy to be home.
I'm happy to see my baby.

I'm happy to be with Mi'elah.

Like, it's all joy
running through me.

Bye.
DOOR CLOSES

Oh!

I feel as if I'm doing
the right thing.

What made you come back?

Uh, because you know
we got things to talk about.

- Yeah.
- Flat-out you know.

In the beginning, I told you

the plans that I have for us,
correct?

- Yeah, you did.
- A'ight.

So, you gonna be my girl,
then Mi'elah, that's my baby girl.

Yeah.

I know you want your ring, man.
I know that.

- Yeah, I do.
- You want your ring.

Yeah, I want... I thought...
I ain't gonna lie.

When you got out of jail,
I thought I was gonna get it.

You deserve it.
You gonna get hella BLEEP.

Ad not only that, but you
a good girl, you a good heart.

Know what I mean?

And I'm at the point to where...

I'm... You know I want to marry you,
Shavel, you know this.

But...

..we ain't ready.

I want to be 100%
right in the head space.

I'm getting out of prison,


She has to be right for me, like.

At the end of the day,
this is my life.

So she has to be the one for me

in order for me
to ask her that question.

I just feel like
ain't no relationship perfect,

but, like,
an easy slide into marriage.

Like, if we are on the same page
and we good and we living good

and we happy with each other,
like, the dynamics is different

from, like,
a struggling relationship.

So that's what I want to do
before I pop the question to her.

I just ask that
you give me some time.

I'm not denying you.

I want us to both
be on the same page.

I'm committed to you.
You know this.

What are...
what are you feeling right now?

Um...
CLEARS THROAT

Like, I'm excited that you here,

cos I've been missing you,
I have.

- I been missing you too.
- A lot. And, um...

I'm definitely understanding, like,
everything that you just said.

Like, I feel you on that,
you know?

I guess we are agreeing

and trying to compromise
with each other.

And pretty much go from there.

I feel like I put my life on hold

for two-and-a-half years,
so it's like...

I thought when he came home,
I was gonna get my ring.

Um...
I don't need a ring to justify,

but I'm not saying
I don't want a ring,

because I do want a ring
and I deserve a ring.

But I'm gonna be patient. For now.

- We good?
- We're good.

- Or we talk about this next week?
- No, we're good.

- A'ight, let me know, then.
- We're good.

A'ight, give me some sugar.

Your word, honestly,
doesn't mean anything to me.

I want to earn
that trust from you.

I'm not used to working with
my emotions and my feelings.

I'm used to just BLEEP
getting high and running.

Here you go, babe.

Dude, I'm BLEEP... I don't know.

I just have so much BLEEP
going through my head right now

about this whole situation,

about going and meeting Kelly
and just everything that happened.

Like, I understand how you feel.

- No, you don't.
- I do.

Cos you don't get it, cos you keep
making excuses for all of it.

Like, the bottom line is,
is that you BLEEP talk

and say how you can't stand her,
this and that,

but you've allowed her
to BLEEP think

that she's got it some type of way.

I don't understand.
Like, I don't...

You don't understand what?
I don't get why you would do that.

- Listen, can I talk, please?
- Then BLEEP make it good.

Think about it, cos I'm sick
of hearing your BLEEP.

I love you. You're the one
I want to be with.

I'm not with Kelly.
I'm not with anyone. I'm with you.

I didn't give you that ring
just to give you the ring.

Like, I really mean it.

I don't really care
about any of that, really.

I don't give a BLEEP about money,
none of the BLEEP you give me.

I don't care about that.
I care about the person you are.

Like, have integrity, Shawn.

I mean, like, your word, honestly,
doesn't mean anything to me.

You'll see that
there's nothing going on,

and I want you
to be able to trust me.

I want you to...
I want to earn that trust from you.

DESTINIE: Me meeting Kelly
and seeing it for what it is,

I just feel like
there's something else going on.

I don't know. The unknown is what
is BLEEP me up

because I don't know
what's gonna happen.

And it's just a lot to handle.

Shawn, I don't think,
has any idea about being prepared

about me going back to prison.

I'm just expecting
the worst from him.

Like, I mean, what can I expect?

I don't know.
It's hard to just BLEEP

figure out my feelings
cos I'm not used

to working with my emotions
and my feelings.

I'm used to just BLEEP
getting high and running.

So to, like,
sit here and talk about it

is BLEEP frustrating for me.

I'm hoping that everything works out

and, you know,
we can build a solid foundation.

But I don't think
that Shawn's really prepared

for what's to come.
