(funky music)
(suspenseful music)
[Olivia] In this life,
you never know what cards are
gonna to be handed to you.
I mean, I thought we were invincible,
that nothing would ever come between us.
Yet here I am questioning
everything, wondering,
how did it get this bad?
Dances with the devil
Your power isn't special
We don't fit on your canvas
We burn it all to ashes
[Olivia] But you know
what the funny thing is
about a bad relationship?
(suspenseful music)
It never starts out that way.
(suspenseful music continues)
Good morning, my love
Good morning.
I see somebody slept in today, huh?
Yeah. Too much liquor last night.
I see.
Hopefully you have a better day today.
I will have a better day,
especially if my baby gimme something
- before she go to work.
- Mm-mm.
Nope. Not happening.
Mm, God. Come on.
You gonna have to keep him in his pants
because I have a big
presentation at work today,
so I can't.
I have a big presentation
for you right now.
Work is at home.
(Olivia laughs)
You working from home today.
No.
As good as that sounds, I can't, babe.
Come on. You got five minutes.
Hold up.
You talking all this shit
and you only giving me five minutes?
Okay, I'll throw two extra minutes in.
I'll give you seven.
Two extra minutes?
Whoa, you up upgraded me?
[Marcus] Yes, I'm upgrading you.
Oh, isn't that nice?
[Marcus] Yeah.
As tempting as that sounds, baby, no.
Oh, okay.
All right. Fine.
You just gonna have to settle
for only five minutes then
when you get off of work.
So we back to five minutes?
- Yes, I'm demoting you.
- So you demoted me?
[Marcus] Yes, yes.
- Uh-uh. You ain't right.
- I'm demoting you.
But you know what?
I'ma come looking for those five minutes.
You better.
I made you breakfast.
It's in the microwave.
Make sure you eat.
I gotta go, though.
[Both] Mm.
Love you.
[Marcus] I love you too.
Baby, I'ma let you
Hey. What's up, Mr. Jones?
Hello, Marcus.
Thanks for meeting with me.
The pleasure is all mine, sir.
Have a seat.
Well, thanks.
(door knocks)
Perfect timing.
Have you ever met my assistant Raven?
I've seen her around,
but we've never actually met in person.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Blackwell.
Well, I'm gonna get right to it.
John Meyers is retiring
in a couple of months
and we are looking for someone
to replace him as vice president.
I've heard you had
interest in the position.
Yes, I've actually applied last year.
Are you still interested?
Because I keep hearing your name around
and all the great things
that you've been doing.
Absolutely.
Great.
Bottom line is we need someone
who understands the business
and is passionate enough
to bring it to the next level,
who has a vision.
We think it might be you.
Brian, I'm your guy.
Trust me, all I need is an opportunity.
Okay.
I'll put you in charge of
running the Lorenzo Project.
It'll be a lot of late nights,
but if it works out well,
we can talk about the VP position.
I'm up for the challenge.
Raven will be in touch with you
as you two will be
working closely together.
If you need anything, I mean anything,
don't hesitate to reach out.
(funky music)
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Didn't you tell Melissa
that I needed to see her?
Yeah, she should begin off
her lunch break any minute.
Hey, Mrs. Blackwell.
You asked to see me?
Yes.
Did you update the file
that I asked you about?
I didn't. I'm, I'm sorry.
I'm still catching up
on the McGregors file.
Are you talking about the
file that was due last week?
Yes. And I'm sorry, Mrs. Blackwell.
It's just that my baby's
been keeping me up at night
and I've been working around
the clock to make it happen.
That's the problem, Melissa.
You're not making it happen.
I know, I know, but I, I am trying.
I'm really trying.
I didn't make it to where I'm at today
by making excuses.
And if you plan on climbing up the ladder,
I suggest you do the same.
Got it?
I got it.
(Melissa sighs)
Why are you being so hard on her?
You know she has a lot on her plate
and she's a new mother, right?
I understand, but we
still have a job to do.
All I'm saying is take it easy on her.
Why?
Do you think my client wants to hear
that the reason why he's going to jail
is because my assistant's baby kept her up
and we missed the filing deadline?
Of course not.
That's all I'm saying.
Anyways, speaking of babies,
do I need to worry about you
boarding the mommy train anytime soon?
I don't know.
You don't know?
Well, hasn't Marcus warmed up to the idea
of you guys starting a family
now that you made partner?
We haven't talked about it recently.
But the agreement has always been
once we were financially set,
we would be ready.
I've seen your action and settlement,
and you're financially set.
Message received.
Now, can we please get back to work?
[Coworker] Fine.
(water running)
So you forgot to do something this week?
Forget what?
This.
What's that?
Don't play dumb with me.
You know what this is?
This is your birth control pills,
and the package is empty.
Okay, and?
What's your point?
My point is we already talked about this.
Now is not the time
For what? To have kids?
Exactly.
We've been married for long enough.
When is it gonna be time
for us to have kids?
We're gonna have plenty of time
to think about the future.
Why are you rushing it?
I'm not trying to rush it,
but we're not getting any younger.
I want a family, you know that.
I know you wanna have a family.
I wanna have a family
just as much as you do.
No, you don't.
I do. Just not right now.
I'm about to get a promotion at my job
and take my career to the next level.
You know that.
Not, right now is not the time for this.
I don't wanna go through this right now,
not right now.
Why does everything have to be about you?
It's not about me.
Look, baby, you're the
top lawyer in the state.
You are where you wanna
be right now, I'm not.
(Olivia sighs and scoffs)
I'm so done with having this conversation
over and over again.
I'm tired of it.
And for your information,
those pills were done two weeks ago.
(Marcus sighs)
I decided I'm not taking
those pills anymore.
Oh, you just decided not
to take the pills, huh?
Is that right?
Yes, I decided.
I decided that I'm not
taking those pills anymore.
I'm a 40-year-old married
woman with no kids
and I'm taking birth control pills
like I'm a college student or something.
I'm not taking those anymore. I'm done.
Listen, I'm not gonna
go back and forth with you
about that.
You're gonna continue taking
these pills, and that's it.
And that's that.
What you gonna do? You gonna force me?
If I have to.
Look, we not having no babies right now.
I don't wanna keep talking about this.
You know what, I'm done
with this conversation.
I don't even wanna look at you.
So you can take this damn pillow,
take your covers, take
whatever you gotta take,
and go sleep on the couch
'cause you not sleeping next to me tonight.
Are you serious?
Very.
But don't worry,
you can go in that bathroom,
get that big jar of Vaseline, all right?
Enjoy jerking it off
'cause you ain't getting
none of this tonight.
You know what? You fucking selfish.
Bye!
(door slams)
(Olivia sighs)
Getting on my damn nerves!
(door knocks)
Come in.
Hey, how's it going?
Hi.
I got that report for you.
Wow, that was fast.
Yeah, well, I take my work serious.
Besides, I like being efficient.
That's good to hear.
I'm sure Mr. Jones would
really appreciate that.
Well, I hope so.
Maybe you could put a good word in for me.
(Melissa chuckles)
You're gonna have to earn my good word.
That's good to know.
I gotta get back to work.
Well, wait a minute.
Why are you running off so fast?
You know, we're gonna be
working really closely together
and everything,
and I just thought that maybe we should
get to know each other a little bit.
Have a seat.
(suspenseful music)
Okay.
(Marcus sighs)
So, what do you gonna talk about?
You know, I just never got your story.
My story?
What story?
You know, how long you've been married?
(suspenseful music continues)
Going on three years now.
And how does it feel?
How does it feel?
[Raven] Being married?
(Marcus chuckles)
I mean, it feels great.
I, I don't have a complaint.
I mean, I guess it's great,
except the fact that you
can't fuck anyone else.
(tense music)
You know, successful men at
the height of their careers
is usually when they're the most, you know-
- Um, I'm satisfied and happy.
That's good.
You know, (chuckles)
I never had anyone pop the question..
Why not?
I just haven't had a relationship
that really lasted long enough.
Mm, commitment issues?
No.
(tense music continues)
I just can't find a man that can keep up.
Keep up?
Sexually.
You know, I'm into a few things
that most men just can't handle.
Oh, so you a freak, huh?
(Raven chuckles)
Freak.
(suspenseful music)
(door shuts)
You call it a freak and, you know,
I call it exploring myself.
And I like a man that's willing
to challenge himself, you know,
whips, chains,
handcuffs,
things like that.
(suspenseful music continues)
No judgment here.
[Raven] None taken.
Look, I gotta get back to work.
Hmm.
Same
It was a pleasure talking to you.
We'll see each other again.
Yeah. (tense music)
So, bro, how you and wifey doing?
(faint hip hop music)
Trying to rip each other
head off every other night.
Oh, man. It's part of
the marriage game, bro.
Hey, lemme ask you something.
Do Whitney ever stress
you out about having kids?
You know what? Nevermind.
You got a goddamn football team upstairs.
Don't even answer that.
You are an asshole.
And of course she did.
All women do, bro.
Liv's been bugging me about
having kids for years now,
even before we was married.
So shut up and just have kids.
Like, damn, bro, what's stopping you?
You know what I always tell you.
What do I tell you?
Happy wife, happy life.
Come on, bro.
Yeah, so they say.
Listen, you not 21 no more, bro.
You got a good woman,
you got a decent marriage.
I mean, come on.
What's stopping you?
Nothing's stopping me.
It's just things that
I still wanna get done.
Bro, you're never going
to be where you wanna be at.
You know why?
Shit, you gonna want
more, plain and simple.
That's how you're hardwired.
Well, why can't I just
wait until I'm ready?
'Cause women ain't trying
to hear that shit, bro.
And besides, how long
you gonna make her wait?
I mean, I'm not gonna make her wait long.
It's still things that I
wanna get accomplished.
My career is important.
Bro, you can still do all of that.
All you gotta do is put a bun in her oven.
It'll make your marriage better, bro.
Why you think I got seven kids, bro?
(faint hip hop music)
I don't, you don't know how to pull out.
I don't know.
Listen, it is 'cause women love kids
at the end of the day, right?
They do.
When me and my wife get into issues
and she start acting crazy
and getting all upset with me
for God knows what, you know what I do?
I poundcake that ass, booty
clapping sounds, (clapping)
tear them cheeks up,
and put another one in the oven.
You know why?
I'll tell you why.
Because it gives me nine months.
Listen to me, look at me.
Nine months of peace of
mind, peace and quiet.
I promise you it works. You know why?
'Cause she's focused on being happy
and not stressing that baby out.
You fucking crazy, man.
Hey.
I'm getting outta here, man.
I gotta get up in the morning, man.
Where you... Thanks for the talk, though.
Anytime You know the
love doctor got you, bro.
Love you man. Love you.
You already know.
Be safe out there, man.
[Marcus] Lay off on the Jameson.
(mellow hip hop music)
(door knocks)
- Hey.
- Hey.
What are you still doing here?
(Marcus sighs)
Boss got me swamped with work.
Looks like I'm working late tonight.
That's actually great because
I kind of need a ride home.
My car's not starting, it's broke down.
And it's terrible timing, I tell you.
It's definitely terrible timing, I mean-
- I really need a ride home.
I'll owe you.
Please. (chuckles)
(Marcus sighs)
I'm really swamped with work.
You, I'm, you can't, can't catch an Uber?
I really don't trust those guys.
I've literally heard so many
horror stories about them.
I mean, but if you can't-
- No, it's fine.
Now, since you put it that way, I mean,
can't have nothing happening to you.
It'd be on my conscience.
I appreciate it.
Let me finish this up.
Give 15 minutes. I'll take you home.
So I'll be in my office.
Just come get me when you're ready?
- Okay.
- Thank you.
(mellow music)

Where you want it at?
Um,
you can lay it here actually.
Sit here.
[Marcus] Okay.
It's gonna be all right right here?
Yeah, it's fine.
Thank you.
(Marcus strains)
All right, so anything
else you need me to do
before I leave?
Um, actually no, that's it.
Okay.
But can I offer you a glass of wine?
Nah.
Nah, it's getting late.
I gotta get going.
You sure?
Yeah.
It's the least that I can do.
You know, it's been a very long day, so...
I mean, well, since you put it like that.
I mean, it has been a
long day for both of us.
Yes.
Just one, one drink.
Got it.
(sensual music)
Water me with tears
Whisper in both ears
That I'm not too much to take
Why do I only see myself through
[Raven] Sorry, I had
to slip into something
a little bit more comfortable.
No, no, I understand.
Oh, uh, I see your glass
is a little on empty.
Can I get you some more?
No.
You sure?
Yes. I have to go.
It's getting late.
Okay, I'll take that for you
and I can walk you out.
(suspenseful music)
(Raven sighs)
Thanks again for all your hope.
Yeah.
(suspenseful music continues)
Thank you for the drink. I appreciate it.
And thank you for the company.
(suspenseful music continues)
Are you sure you wanna leave?
(suspenseful music)
Under the darkest sky all for you
Don't wanna see the night fade to blue
Under the dark sky long for you
Don't wanna see your red fade to blue
I wanna flow with you over holy water
I wanna crawl into all
your secret corners
I wanna brace myself
We go heavy harder
We go heavy harder
Heavy
I wanna lose myself in you
I wanna lose myself in you
You
Before you fade to blue
(ethereal music)
(phone vibrating)
Shit. (sighs)
Fuck.
(Marcus sighs)
Good morning.
Good morning, lady.
Finally up?
Yep.
My wife is gonna fucking kill me.
What's wrong?
I was supposed to meet her
for dinner last night.
Oops. (chuckles)
It looks like somebody's in trouble.
Ha ha.
You think?
Well, since you're already in trouble,
you might as well stay with me.
(Marcus sighs)
I'm in enough trouble. I gotta go.
Okay. It looks like
somebody's on a leash.
No.
It's just somebody is married.
Well, it seems like you
wanna do other things.
Don't act like you know me.
Right.
This is exactly why I
don't tell a man what to do
or what not to do.
See, when you let a man
do whatever he wants,
you'll quickly find out
exactly what he'd rather do.
Yeah?
How is that working out for you?
(Raven chuckles)
Let's just say I'm having fun.
Yes. And it was fun.
It was so fucking fun.
I can't stay, though.
I gotta go.
See you next time.
Bye.
(suspenseful music)
(Raven laughs)
(door creaks)
(suspenseful music continues)
So, how's the project coming along?
Oh, man, it's coming.
Okay.
My assistant, Raven,
you are all she talks about.
Yeah, she's good people.
Yeah, she is.
She's a hard worker too,
but she says you work hard too.
Yeah, man, I try to
do what I can do, man.
- Okay.
- I'm just hoping my hard work
don't gonna unnoticed.
Okay. Got my eye on you.
All right, boss.
All right.
Talk to you later.
Hey, Marcus.
Can I speak to you for a moment?
(suspenseful music)
- Hi.
- Hey,
Where you've been?
I haven't seen you around in a couple days.
Just been busy with a couple things.
Hmm.
You wouldn't be avoiding me now, would you?
No, not at all.
Good.
By the way, thank you for
that lift the other day.
Ah, don't mention it.
Just happy I could help
That you did.
Look, let's just act
like whatever happened
the other night never did.
Okay?
We can act like it happen, but it did.
And I enjoyed it,
every minute of it.
Well, let's act like it didn't.
What are you so afraid of?
Do I intimidate you?
No. You don't intimidate me, Raven.
We already went through this.
You know I'm married.
Well, you know if you
want that promotion,
you're gonna have to go through me.
So, wait, what are you saying?
I'm gonna have to fuck it outta you?
Well, if you want the job that bad.
(tense music)
You know, you have nothing to worry about.
Okay?
'Cause
your secret is safe with me.
Is that right?
(suspenseful music)
(footsteps thudding)
What's up, baby?
Stop.
What you mean stop?
Stop!
What? What's the problem?
You know what the problem is, Marcus?
So, what, you just not gonna talk to me?
That's right.
I'm not gonna talk to you.
(Marcus sighs)
Come on, Liv.
You don't make love to me no more.
Shit, you barely even look at me.
What do I gotta do to get my woman back?
What do I gotta do to
touch my woman again? Huh?
I'll do it.
It's been over a week now.
Okay. Well, let's make it two.
Did you forget what the
fuck you did, Marcus?
Look, I don't wanna go
back and forth with you.
I, I, I don't wanna argue.
I just want peace.
If you wanted peace,
you should have thought about that
when you stayed out while I was home,
slaving over dinner for you,
waiting for you to come home.
I already apologized to you about that.
I told you.
I was drinking over Rickey
house and I passed out.
There was no way I was gonna
drive home like that, no way.
Right.
'Cause I'm sure that happened
the way you're saying.
That's exactly how it went down.
I wouldn't lie to you.
Are you sure you don't have
anything else to tell me?
(suspenseful music)
Something I'm not telling you?
Like what?
Are you fucking another woman, Marcus?
Oh, my gosh. Is that what this is about?
You think I'm fucking another woman? Huh?
No, Liv, I'm not.
I love you.
Let me tell you something, Marcus.
I've been very patient with you.
I've been a very loving and caring wife.
One thing that you don't
wanna do is push me.
I promise you, you don't wanna push me.
Babe.
[Olivia] Leave me alone, Marcus.
(Marcus sighs) (suspenseful music fades)
Hello, Olivia. How are you?
I've had better days,
but I'm not complaining.
Okay, good.
Well, today we're gonna start
with a little blood pressure checkup.
Okay.
(cuff rustling)
(air pumping)
Mm. Okay.
Well, your blood pressure is
a little higher than normal,
but nothing to be concerned about.
Okay.
Olivia, let ask you a question.
How's everything at home, you know,
your marriage and all?
It's okay.
I'm a little confused
as to why you're asking me that though.
Well, you've tested positive for an STD.
What?
You're kidding me, right?
I'm afraid not. You have gonorrhea.
No. There has to be some
kind of mistake, Doctor.
How can I have gonorrhea?
I'm married.
I realize this is not
something you wanna hear.
But the good news is it's curable.
With one simple shot,
we're gonna take care of it today.
But you do need to tell your husband
'cause he needs to be
tested and treated as well.
Okay.
Mm-hmm. Let's take care of you right now.
(somber music)
(Olivia sighs)
(door clicks)
Hey, babe.
What's wrong?
You okay?
I don't have anything to say to you.
(Marcus sighs)
I thought we got past last week.
What's the problem now?
You are the fucking problem!
You are always the fucking problem!
I'm always the problem.
You know what, every fucking week
is something different with you.
What?
Yeah. What'd I do now?
What'd you do now?
I'ma tell you what you did, Marcus.
You gave me a fucking STD!
What?
Hold on. Wait, wait, wait.
What are you talking about?
Exactly what the fuck I said.
Baby, look, you are overreacting.
Let's just calm down.
Let's just talk about it.
- Let's talk about it.
- I'm overreacting?
Yes.
Does it look like I wanna talk?
Huh?
Is that why you missed dinner?
Is that why you've been sneaking around,
why you not wearing your fucking ring?
How long have you been
cheating on me, Marcus?
I'm not fucking cheating on you, woman!
And a STD? Are you fucking serious?
You're my wife?
Yeah?
Well, I went to the doctor today
and they told me I have gonorrhea.
So you tell me where I got that from.
Oh, shit.
Oh, it's ringing a
bell to you now, right?
Okay, baby, look.
I fucked up. I did something stupid.
I, I cheated, but it was only one time.
And I didn't know I had a fucking STD.
I didn't know I had-
- You really expect me to believe that?
You a fucking asshole.
How could you do this to me, Marcus?
Do you know how I felt in
that doctor's office today?
You made me feel like a whore.
I'm sorry.
Don't fucking touch me.
Babe.
- Don't fucking touch me.
- Baby.
Don't put your dirty little hands on me.
(somber music)
I'm sorry, baby.
What can I do to make it better?
'Cause I will.
Whatever, I'll do whatever.
I don't wanna look
at your face right now,
so get out.
You don't mean that.
Get the fuck out my face, Marcus!
Get the fuck out!
(somber music continues)
(door slams)
(somber music continues)
(door banging)
Raven! Open the door.
Raven! (door banging)
Why are you banging on my door
like you the damn police?
Don't gimme that shit!
You got something you wanna tell me?
What are you talking about?
What am I talking about?
Get your fucking hands off of me.
You a nasty bitch.
You gave me a fucking STD.
Get your fucking hands off me!
What are you talking about?
I don't have anything.
My fucking wife said she got gonorrhea
and you the only woman I've been with.
Bullshit.
You're a ho and you know it.
Oh, fuck you!
How do you know someone
else didn't give it to you
or even your damn wife?
Watch your fucking mouth!
My wife would never cheat on me!
Yeah?
What do you think your wife is doing
while you're over here
fucking me all the time?
When you out here all these years
doing whatever the hell you wanna do,
what you think?
Nobody else been up in your wife?
You don't know what the
fuck you talking about?
Did you even get tested, Marcus?
No. Not yet.
You better take your
fucking ass to the doctor
before you come over here
accusing me of some shit!
By the way, your ass is here uninvited.
Get your fucking ass out.
I will.
But you better hope you
ain't gimme that shit.
This ain't over.
Get the fuck out my way.
(suspenseful music)
(door slams)
Fuck!
(keyboard clacking)
Good afternoon.
Good day. Good day.
I'm Marcus Blackwell, here to be tested
Um, uh, just fill out one of these forms
and we'll call out your number.
- Okay.
- Bring it up to me
- when you're finished.
- Okay. Thank you.
[Receptionist] No problem.
(Marcus sighs)
Oh, boy. Here we go, man.
Don't worry bro.
I'm sure you fine.
Oh, thanks, man.
I just hate coming up in places like this.
Tell me about it.
But it's good to know your status.
Right. You right.
By the way, I'm Devon.
Marcus.
Nice to meet you, bro.
Same here.
(Devon sighs)
I know we all hate
coming to these places,
but best way to stay up
outta is wrap it up, right?
Or just keep it in your pants.
(Devon laughs)
That's easier said than done
with all these fine-ass
women out here, man.
Why you gotta find the right one, man.
I thought I found the right one.
She was fine.
Fat ass, man.
Come to find out she's married.
Well, shit, I ain't no better.
I fucked up by cheating on my wife.
See, that ring, ring
don't mean these days.
You gotta make your woman happy
or she'll step out on you.
I know, right?
It's sad
Because I know I got a good woman.
Yeah, I hear you.
Maybe I'll get married one day.
Well, we ain't getting no younger.
Shit. You're right about that
Number 36, you can come on back.
Oh, that's me.
It was nice to meet you, bro.
Likewise, man.
[Devon] Be safe out here, man?
Yeah, you too.
Good luck in there.
(door creaks and shuts)
(ominous music)
(water splashing)
(ominous music continues)
What the...
What, what the fuck are
you doing in my yard?
Oh, hi.
Hi?
Are you fucking kidding me?
What are you doing at my house, Raven?
I'm just going for a little swim.
(chuckles)
Going for a swim?
Is this some type of fucking game to you?
No.
I've been texting and calling you for weeks
and you haven't returned
any of my phone calls.
That's because I'm married!
Now leave me the fuck alone, Raven.
So now that you got what you wanted,
I'm no good to you?
Look, just get out.
Just get out my pool and leave.
No.
Not until you get in the pool with me.
No.
Just leave.
You will get your ass in this pool
or I will scream so fucking loud
that I will wake up your neighbors,
including your precious little wife.
Look, I'm not the type of person
you wanna around with.
Neither am I.
How about
I have a little more fun?
[Marcus] If you don't get out that pool,
I'ma call the cops.
And we both know that
you're not gonna do that.
(tense music)
Marcus,
I'm not wearing any clothes. (laughs)
All right, all right, all right.
What do you want?
I wanna see you tomorrow.
I have something that I really
need to talk to you about.
No. Tell me now.
No.
You will see me tomorrow
or I'll just have a
little more fun tonight.
[Marcus] Look, stop it. Okay?
(Raven moaning)
- Marcus!
- Fuck. Fuck.
- Marcus!
- Shut the fuck up!
All right, I'll meet you tomorrow.
Ooh, you're too good to me.
You're fucking sick, you know that?
Can't you see there will never be a us?
I plan on changing that.
I will see you tomorrow
at the waterfront, 5:30.
(suspenseful music)
(water splashing)
(tense music)
(bird cawing)
What's up?
You better have a good
reason to have me out here.
Well, hello to you too.
Don't hello me.
What the fuck do you want, Raven?
No small talk today?
Cut the bullshit.
You got five minutes.
Okay.
Well, I called you as soon as possible
because I wanted you to
be the first to know.
To know what?
What the hell is this?
It's a pregnancy test.
No shit.
I know what a pregnancy test is,
but why are you giving it to me?
Because I'm pregnant and
you are the father, Marcus.
No fucking way.
Hell no.
- No way.
- That's not the reaction
I expected.
Well, what reaction was you expecting?
Not that!
I mean, how,
how are you even sure that
I'm the father of this kid?
Because I ain't no ho, that's why.
Oh, you're not a ho.
Says the woman who's
sleeping with a married man.
And I know I'm not the only one.
Like I said,
you're the only one that I've been with.
What do you need? A DNA test?
This is a big fucking mistake, Raven.
A mistake?
Yes, a mistake.
Look, you know what you gotta do?
Excuse me.
Look, I'm sorry,
but there's no way you're
gonna have this fucking kid.
I will have this kid.
It's our baby, Marcus!
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Are you crazy?
I'm married, Raven.
I have a fucking wife.
And if she finds out about
this, she'll fucking kill me.
Well, maybe you should
have thought about that
before you slept with me!
(Marcus sighs)
Okay, this is not fucking
happening right now.
This is not happening.
Oh, it's like that now, huh?
Because you wasn't saying that
when you was all up in this pussy now,
was you?
I mean, come on, baby, it-it's, it's us.
[Marcus] No! There's no us.
Look.
What is that?
Take care of it, Raven. You hear me?
- Take care of it.
- What is this?
Fuck you!
You got some goddamn nerve.
What do you think,
you're God's gift to women or something?
Oh, don't hit me with
that you the victim shit!
This is not a fucking
Lifetime movie, Raven.
What part of you don't
get that I have a wife?
Huh?
You think I'm gonna leave my wife for you
and ride off in the sunset?
You're standing in the
sunset right now, Marcus.
God, you're fucking delusional.
Look at you, fucking pitiful.
(suspenseful music)
Look, take this.
Take it. Take care of that.
I don't wanna see you
or hear from you ever again.
(suspenseful music continues)
Stay the fuck away from me!
You done fucked with
the wrong woman, Marcus.
(suspenseful music continues)
(doorbell rings)
Yes, can I help you?
(suspenseful music)
Oh, hi.
Yes, you can.
Um, I'm here for your cleaning services.
Excuse me?
I work for Fantastic Cleaning.
I'm sorry. We didn't order any services.
Um, I have it here that
there was a work order
that was put in from a Mr. Marcus Blackwell
with this address.
Yeah, that's my husband.
I guess he set this up.
What do you need?
I just need to come in, take a look around,
and just better assess
so I can give you a
proper quote for services.
Okay.
Come on in.
Thank you.
(suspenseful music)
So, how long y'all been married?
Excuse me?
I was just looking at your picture
and was just curious how
long you've been married.
Three years,
but Marcus and I have
been together forever.
(suspenseful music continues)
You know,
I always wanted to get married myself,
but, um,
it just looks like that's
just not gonna happen anymore.
I'm sure it will.
You just have to find the right guy.
Well, who wants to get
married nowadays anyway?
I mean, we're so young
and we have so much fun to partake in.
Besides, most men are
cheaters nowadays anyway.
Men will stick their dick
in just about anything.
Well, you know what they say?
Men will be men.
Or men
will be dogs.
(suspenseful music)
Some of them.
But, I mean, who can blame them?
Because there's always a
little slutty-ass bitch
creeping around them.
That's why you have to keep 'em on a leash
so they don't stray.
You know what?
I know exactly what you mean.
It's such a shame when I see
a man cheating on his wife.
It's so sad.
Yeah, I bet.
(door clicks)
(dramatic music)
Hey, s-something wrong?
Everything seems to be fine.
Why don't you tell me
you had someone coming over
to work on the house today?
What are you talking about?
She said you put in a work order.
I didn't put in a work order.
I don't, I've never seen this woman
a day in my life.
So why is she here, Marcus?
I don't know.
He must have forgot.
He put the work order in two months ago.
You know men, always forgetful.
Right?
But you must be the husband?
Marcus?
Yeah.
Hi, I'm Raven.
Nice to meet you, Raven.
Well, it looks like my work is done here.
You can just give me the quote
when you put it together
and I'll take care of it.
Don't worry about it.
I'm sure your husband
will take care of the bill.
Right, Marcus?
Yeah, I got it.
I'm sorry, I never got your name.
Mrs. Blackwell.
Right. Nice name.
So you two enjoy the rest of your day.
I'll let myself out.
Okay.
(tense music)
So, what did you have to tell me?
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
(piano trilling)
(suspenseful music)
(ominous music)
(ominous music continues)
(ominous music continues)
(Raven moaning)
(ominous music continues)
Marcus. (moaning)
(tense music)
(keys jangling)
(tense music continues)
(Olivia sighs)
(keys jangling) (suspenseful music)
(hinge creaking)
(suspenseful music continues)
(door squeaks)
(suspenseful music continues)
Babe. Come on.
Come on, babe. We gotta get up early.
I got an early start. Come on.
Hi.
What the fuck? (Raven laughs)
Are you fucking crazy?
Shh.
You don't wanna wake her now, do you?
Raven, have you lost your fucking mind?
What are you doing here?
I don't know.
Maybe I did lose my mind.
I came to get what's nine.
Holy shit.
What the fuck?
You know I came to get
this dick, baby. (laughs)
What?
Stop.
You think this is a fucking game?
(Raven moaning) (suspenseful music)
What are you doing?
My wife is right here.
Fuck your wife.
Trust me, she ain't waking up.
I drugged that bitch.
(Raven moans)
You know how I like it, baby. (laughs)
(Raven moaning) (suspenseful music)
It was good, wasn't it?
(suspenseful music continues)
Get the fuck away.
(Raven moaning)
Come in fucking house again,
I'll fucking kill you.
(Raven laughs)
Get the fuck out!
Get out.
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music continues)
So, what do you wanna
do about this number?
I don't know.
I really think he's cheating on me again.
Think?
Oh, there's nothing to think about, honey.
He's definitely cheating on you.
At this point,
I think you need to just get a divorce
because this isn't healthy.
I didn't get married
to get divorced, Whitney.
Well, you didn't get married
to get cheated on either.
I know.
I just want him to act right.
Well, that doesn't look
like that's gonna happen.
So what are you gonna do?
I don't know.
If he could just feel
how I'm feeling right now.
You better do what any other woman
in this situation would do.
And what's that?
Cut his dick off.
What?
That's right, girl.
Make him feel the same pain you feeling.
Okay, Jackie,
that's a little bit
dramatic, don't you think?
Exactly. Nobody's
cutting anyone's penis off.
Why not?
She won't have to worry
about him sharing himself
with anybody anymore.
And she'll be doing herself a favor
and every other woman in the world a favor
by cutting his dick off.
I don't know.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Girl, you should go home,
sleep it off, wake up,
and then figure everything
out in the morning.
But don't listen to Jackie's crazy ass.
(pensive music)
I don't know.
I'll, I'll think about it.
I'll figure it out.
Thanks for the talk, ladies.
Of course.
Remember what I said, girl.
Cut that dick off.
(door knocks)
Hey, what's up Mr. Brian.
Hey, I wanted to catch
you before you left.
What's up?
They're offering you the VP position.
(Marcus chuckles)
Are you kidding me?
Nope. It's yours if you want it.
Of course I want it.
That's the best news I've heard all week.
But there is a catch.
You're gonna need to
work some weekend shifts.
Why?
Raven quit.
What? Raven's gone?
Yeah.
So I'm gonna need some help,
at least until I can find a replacement.
I hope that's not a problem.
No, absolutely not.
Good.
All right.
You mind if I ask?
Why'd she quit?
Seems like Raven has quietly
been hitting the job market.
She found a position
and she moved down south.
According to her, quote,
"There's nothing left for me here."
Anyway, congratulations. You deserve it.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
(gentle music)
Oh. Hey, babe.
Perfect timing.
What's going on?
I got some exciting news to tell you.
Come on.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Because there's something
that I need to talk to you about too.
No. No, no, no.
Lemme say what I gotta say first
and then you can tell
me all about your day.
All right. Well, what's all this for?
Well, I finally did it.
What are you talking about?
I got the promotion.
As of today, it's official.
(wine splashing)
I got it.
[Olivia] Hmm.
(suspenseful music)
You ain't got nothing to say?
What do you want me to say?
Congratulations?
Congratulations, Marcus.
What's going on, Liv?
Huh?
I finally got the promotion of a lifetime
and you gimme this dry-ass congratulations.
(suspenseful music continues)
Come on, man.
At least act like you give a damn.
Act like I give a damn?
[Marcus] Yes.
You want me to act like I give a damn?
How can I, Marcus?
When you out here fucking everybody.
Liv, what are you talking about?
You don't know what I'm talking about?
[Marcus] No, I don't.
All right, I'ma tell you
what I'm talking about.
(suspenseful music continues)
What the hell is that?
Take it!
(tense music)
It's nothing.
It's nothing?
[Marcus] It's nothing.
You still cheating on me, Marcus.
That's not nothing.
(suspenseful music)
Look, I'm not cheating on you.
But you wouldn't believe me
if I told you the truth anyway.
Try me. Try me.
I wanna hear this.
Try me. Tell me the truth.
Okay, okay.
I have a stalker
and she planted that shit on me.
A stalker?
Wow, Marcus.
Okay.
I gotta give you that one.
That one was, that was real original.
But do you really expect
me to believe that?
Yes, I expect you to believe that.
It's the truth.
I have a stalker and the bitch is crazy.
Look, I messed up in the beginning, I did.
Things got outta hand.
But it's over with.
She's moved away. She's gone.
(suspenseful music)
Why can't you just be man enough
to tell me the truth, Marcus?
Just tell me the truth.
I won't be mad.
I promise I won't be mad.
Just tell me the truth.
Look, I told you I'm
not fucking anybody else.
And can we not do this on
the night of my celebration
for my promotion?
(Olivia sighs)
Fuck you, Marcus.
You know what?
I'm not doing this with you tonight.
I'm not doing this.
Why don't you take some cake
and maybe you'll feel better, okay?
To hell with you and that damn cake.
(suspenseful music continues)
That's how you feel?
That's exactly how I feel.
Give a damn about no cake, no
promotion, none of that shit.
All you wanna do is lie, lie,
lie all the damn time.
Be a fucking man and just tell the truth.
(suspenseful music continues)
Eat the cake.
I'm not eating your cake.
You can be mad all you want,
but you gonna eat some cake with me
and celebrate my promotion.
You hear me?
I'm not eating a damn thing
'cause you're a piece shit
of that can't be honest.
(suspenseful music continues)
(tense music)
Eat the cake.
Get out my face, Marcus.
I'm not playing with you.
(tense music continues)
Liv I said eat the fucking cake.
You want the cake?
You eat the fucking cake!
I'm not celebrating your cheating ass.
(tense music continues)
(Olivia straining)
(ominous music)
What the fuck?
Look at me.
Look at me!
Next time I tell you to eat the cake,
you eat the cake.
Why did you do that?
(ominous music continues)
Now, see?
That's some good-ass red velvet.
Hmm.
(tense music)
I told you I wasn't cheating on you.
(tense music continues)
And I don't wanna hear nothing else
about that shit again.
(tense music continues)
Now go clean yourself off.
You look ridiculous.
Fuck me, huh?
(tense music continues)
I'm going out and celebrate for real,
by myself.
Don't wait up.
(pensive music)
How can this be
I don't believe
I don't believe
My veins be running cold
In a strange land
With blood on my hands
On the verge
Of letting go
What are we fighting for
What are we fighting for
'Cause this is not
Our war
(tense music)
Can we talk?
You think I wanna talk to you
after you smashed cake
in my face last night?
Uh, oh, I, I was tripping, babe.
I'm sorry, I was a little buzzed.
I apologize.
But I really need to talk
to you for a moment, please.
(Olivia sighs)
What is it that you want, Marcus? Hmm?
If you don't wanna be here,
why don't you just leave?
Why are you doing this to yourself?
Look, I fucked up over
and over and over again.
Yeah, you do.
But I had some time to
think about everything.
And you was right,
you're always right.
(Olivia sighs)
(Marcus sighs)
I was running around looking for something
that I already had in front
of me this whole time.
And it only took you
messing up to realize that.
Yeah, I messed up.
But, baby, you just don't understand
how hard it is for a man,
you don't, I don't think you do.
I mean, you got everything
you want in life.
You're successful.
Me, I gotta fight for my dreams.
So, what is it that you want?
Look, I know I'm not
gonna get where I wanna be
by working for somebody else.
So I've decided to start my own business.
And I know it's gonna take some time,
but I'll figure it out.
I always do.
But I know what I want right now.
I wanna start a family
with you.
(Olivia chuckles)
Yeah. Okay.
Tell me anything you want
because you're in the doghouse.
I'm not telling you anything now, baby.
I'm serious.
Besides, it'll gimme enough time
to get the business off the ground
before the baby get here.
Trying to escape from this weary
Were you telling me the
truth about that woman?
Yes, baby. She's gone.
She's outta my life for good.
I promise you, from here
on out, it's all about us.
Okay, Marcus.
I hope your dick is ready
because we're gonna start trying tonight.
Tonight?
How about right now?
Okay. You ain't saying
nothing but a word.
Let's go.
Make sure you bring that
bottle of wine up too.
Let's go, Marcus!
(sensual music)
That I would lie
And I would be sly
And I would fall from paradise
And I would imply
And I would feign shy
And I would always
Marcus?
Devon?
What's up, brother?
- What's up, man?
- Hey, man.
How's it going, man?
[Devon] How you been?
Man, to be honest with you,
just trying to get my life together.
A lot of things changed
since the last time I
seen you at that clinic.
I dodge a bullet man.
Not wife problems.
Something like that.
Shit, I can only imagine though, man.
But how about you? How you?
- You good?
- Oh-
- You know what? Pardon me.
That's personal.
You ain't gotta answer that.
Nah, nah, nah. It's okay.
I'm good. I'm good.
Caught a little something
but nothing I couldn't get rid of.
I'm good now, though.
Good now, though.
It's funny running into you, though.
You into sports?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
Peep this.
I got some Sixers tickets, floor seats.
- Yeah?
- And nobody to go with me.
If you down, you can roll with me.
Ah, man. Yeah, I'm down.
- Yeah?
- I wanna see
MD play in person anyway.
He's killing him in the playoffs.
Hey, take my mask math, man.
For sure. For sure.
Got my, oh, my phone is in the car.
That's okay.
I'ma shoot you a text. What's your number?
609... Mm-hmm.
300... Mm-hmm.
- Got you locked in.
- Okay.
Hey, listen, right, if you
ain't doing nothing tonight,
I'm having the card game at my spot.
Couple fellas coming past, you know.
We got some cigars, some drinks.
You know, you're welcome to
come through if you want.
Ah. Shh.
Nothing I'm doing, I'll be at the house.
- All right.
- I'm down.
All right. I'll send you the address.
I'll text it to you.
All right.
Good seeing you, man.
- Take it easy.
- Be safe, brother.
[Marcus] All right.
Caught him, I told him
you playing with me
You know what I don't understand?
- What's that?
- Why people don't believe
women want sex just as bad as we do?
Shit, they do.
They just try to hide it.
Exactly my point.
Men cheat and so do women.
Oh, slow your roll.
I don't cheat bro, bro, bro.
That's because you
ain't got time to cheat
with your "Daddy Daycare" ass.
Oh, get outta here with that bullshit.
The reason is I don't cheat on my wife
'cause I love my wife.
All right, so lemme ask you something.
So you mean to tell me
if Rihanna wanted to give you something,
you wouldn't take it?
Hell no, man.
- What's wrong with you?
- Shit.
You don't even believe that.
[Marcus] Ain't nobody-
- Listen, just because y'all
can't keep it in y'all pants
don't mean I can't.
I'ma keep it real.
I know how to discipline myself.
I know how to control my impulses.
It's called seeming retention.
Okay. Let me ask you
kind something personal.
I mean, y'all both
married, so lemme just ask.
What would you do if you caught
your wife cheating on you?
What you mean? Like,
caught her in the act?
Yeah.
Ass up, face down, booty clapping sounds?
Yeah.
Uncle Luke Video, "Tip Drill"?
Oh, no. She gotta go.
He ain't lying. She's outta here.
Bitch, everybody dead,
gone... Man, I ain't talking
- about like that.
- Unsolved mysteries.
Bop, bop, bop, bop.
This guy always going overboard, man.
Your situation is different man.
How the hell is my situation different?
You mean to tell me you gonna take out
the mother of your children for cheating?
Yeah. Think about it, Negro.
Think hard.
Maybe not kill her,
but I'll beat the shit out of her.
- You hear me?
- And you go to jail.
Hey, that's the one you
gonna take for the team, bro.
Nah, nah, I feel y'all.
I wouldn't leave my wife either,
especially if we got kids.
But women got needs just like we do,
and sometimes they just gotta act on it.
Man, where you find this nigga from?
You just different.
[Devon] Sorry, my man.
Anyways, Marc,
how we looking with that
baby in the oven, man?
What you mean, "What's
going on with this baby?"
You sound like her, man.
Nah, well, we working on it.
We working on it now.
All right, let-let's toast it that then.
I like that booty clapping sounds
and all that shit.
Seven kids coming soon.
To Marcus, baby.
Yep, and y'all coming
to live here when he born?
As long as I can claim
him on my income taxes, boy.
That shit is gonna be
beautiful, you feel me?
You can brag
(Olivia sighs)
Come on, baby, what it say?
I'm still waiting.
Damn. How long it's gonna take?
(pensive music)
(door creaks)
(Marcus smacks lips)
Damn it.
I'm starting to get worried babe.
No, no, no.
No, no, no. Don't think like that.
Don't think like that.
It's gonna happen.
When?
We on God time right now, all right?
And this is what we gonna do.
We gonna go to the doctors,
get some tests read,
and see if there's anything
they can do to help us.
All right?
It's gonna happen?
[Olivia] I'll make the appointment.
Okay. Come here.
It's gonna happen?
Hello, Mr. And Mrs. Blackwell.
- Hello.
- What's up, Doc?
Give us the good news.
Well, after reviewing your file,
the reason why your test results
keep coming back negative
is because, unfortunately,
you're not able to conceive a child.
W-what do you mean?
Yeah, what do you mean?
What are you talking about?
What I mean is your
fertility numbers are so low
that it'd be virtually impossible
for you to conceive a child on your own.
Virtually impossible?
That's bullshit.
Are you serious?
Unfortunately I am serious.
So you're saying there's
nothing that you can do?
Well, when the time is right,
we could look into other
options like adoption
or a surrogate.
Look, this is never easy.
I can get you with a counselor.
Look, we don't wanna be
in touch with a counselor!
You are a doctor, aren't you?
- Yes, I am.
- So why can't you tell me
why my wife can't have a baby?
Mr. Blackwell,
I understand your frustration.
Obviously you don't
understand my frustration.
Unfortunately these things happen.
I know it's not easy.
You and your wife take
all the time you need.
Again, I'm very sorry.
Yes, you are.
I'm sorry we fucking came here.
(Olivia crying)
Oh, baby, why me?
[Marcus] It's not you, baby.
I promise, it's not you.
(pensive music)
(pensive music continues)
(calm music)
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
The red sun rose this morning
Dark skies pronounce your warning
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Hold on, the floor is caving
Your walls turn into cages
Your refuge
Will be your demise
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Dances with the devil
Your power isn't special
We don't fit on your canvas
We burn it all to ashes now
'Cause we are the outlaws
(tense music)
Ah-ah-ah-ah
'Cause we are the outlaws
(light music)
Yeah, you've been dancing with devil
Be careful who you gunning for
'Cause when it settles
It's only pain and grief
when you're living lawless
We only chase it if the
chance of profit's flawless
We keep our eyes on the weak
They know that their targets
Hunting for goodwill
We ain't looking for bargains
And you should say your prayer
Ain't nobody praying for you
'Cause if I want it, then it's mine
That's what I'm saying to you
If you're faint-hearted
You better leave
(suspenseful music)
(thunder claps)
[Announcer] Your attention please.
We'll be arriving at
Toronto's Union station,
our destination, in a just a few minutes.
Four your safety-
(thunder claps)
Please ensure to have with you
all of your personal belongings
before exiting the train.
(tense music drowns out announcer)
(thunder claps)
(ominous music)
(wine splashing)
Wake up.
Wake up!
(ominous music continues)
What the fuck?
What the...
What? What the fuck?
Why you got that knife?
Come on, Liv, untie me.
This ain't funny, man.
Un-fucking-tie me.
What are you... Calm down.
All right.
All right.
- Yeah?
- Okay. Okay.
Calm down. You ain't going nowhere.
What's going on, baby?
Why, why you got me tied up?
Looks like you got yourself
in a bad situation, doesn't it?
See, that's what happens
when you're not honest.
I have no idea what
you talking about, Liv.
Now un-fucking-tie me.
You men never do.
So I guess you don't know about these, huh?
What? Hell no.
Whose are those?
I don't know. I think
somebody left them here.
They don't smell like me.
I don't know what you
talking about right now,
but I'm not fucking around on you.
I swear.
- No?
- No.
You don't know these?
No, I don't know whose they are.
Maybe you just need a closer look.
No, I don't need a closer look.
I don't-
(Marcus groaning)
Liv, what the fuck?
Is you crazy?
(tense music)
Did you just call me crazy?
Did you?
'Cause I will cut your head off!
I'm sorry, okay?
You always Sorry, Marcus.
You always sorry.
"Sorry, Liv.
"Sorry, Liv."
I didn't mean to do it, Liv.
"I'm so sorry, Liv."
You always fucking sorry, Marcus.
[Marcus] No, no. (groaning)
You fucking bitch. (crying)
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
What the fuck do you want?
What do you want?
What the fuck? (groans)
You better kill me, you psycho bitch.
[Olivia] Shut up!
(slap smacks)
I swear to God if I get loose-
- If you get loose, what?
You fucking stabbed me, man.
What the fuck you think I'ma do?
I'ma fucking kill you.
I can't hear you.
I swear you won't get
away with this shit.
You won't get away with this shit.
(Marcus groans)
I just did.
(tense music) (Marcus groaning)
What do you want?
What the fuck do you want?
What do you want?
Oh, you haven't heard the good news.
It's a celebration, baby.
You want some?
Fuck you
Don't be like that.
You gonna have to help me with some of this
'cause I can't have it all by myself.
Yes.
(tense music)
(slap smacks)
(ominous music)
You made your fucking point.
Oh, I'm just getting started.
I'm gonna ask you some questions
and if you don't answer them correctly,
this gun is gonna go off.
I don't wanna answer your questions.
Well, that's too bad now, isn't it?
I want to know how many times
you've cheated on me, Marcus.
Liv, I'm fucking bleeding.
I'm dying.
I don't wanna answer
your fucking questions.
Just shut up and answer the question.
How many times?
(tense music)
I cheated on you once.
(gun fires) (Marcus gasps)
What the fuck?
Are you fucking crazy?
You almost shot me.
Wrong answer.
You know what's worse
than a cheating-ass man?
It's a lying-ass man.
I'm telling you, I'm not lying!
Now untie me.
Just shut up. Shut up.
Fuck, untie me.
(tense music)
Who is this woman?
Look at it!
Who is she?
What's her name?
It's Raven.
That's right.
That's your little whore.
(ominous music)
(Marcus sighs)
Do you love her?
No.
So you're telling me
that you don't love her,
but you're willing to
put a baby in this bitch?
Huh, Marcus?
(tense music)
I can't have your baby,
but this gets to have
a baby with my husband?
Baby, it's not like that.
Do you know how I feel?
[Marcus] I don't love her.
I can't even look at you anymore.
(gun fires)
(suspenseful music) (heart beating)
Was I too blind? Too trusting?
Maybe I was just too in
love to see the signs.
But Marcus, the man I thought I knew,
has become a stranger.
I can't even look at you anymore.
(ominous music)
(pensive music)
I love you too much to kill you.
I want you to know,
even throughout all this,
you didn't break me.
I'll send somebody to
come in here and help you.
And after that, I don't
ever wanna see you again.
By the way, she's eight months pregnant.
Congratulations.
You're gonna be a father.
(suspenseful music)
You okay, girl?
Yeah, I'm, I'm fine.
You look like you got some on your mind.
(Olivia sighs)
I'm just thinking.
Thinkin' about what?
Honestly, I'm thinking
about selling my house
and moving down south.
Really? Why?
I feel like it's time for a change.
Nah, you ain't leaving here without me.
(both laugh)
Come on down, girl. You invited.
You could come with me.
Let me ask you something.
You still love him, don't you?
I do.
I do.
You know, we all make mistakes,
and I'm not an angel.
But I just feel like too much has been done
for us to get back together, you know?
Yeah, I agree with you.
But let me tell you something.
We all make mistakes,
but you gotta make sure you
doing what's best for you
and only you.
Maybe, you're right.
Thank you for listening to my mess.
Always. Girl, I'ma
always be here for you.
I love you.
I love you too.
Cheers to happiness.
Cheers.
(gentle music)
(mellow jazz music)
(car engine droning)
Hey.
Hey, beautiful.
How are you?
I'm good. How are you?
Okay. I see you still looking good.
What, you aging backwards?
What are you doing here, Marcus?
I was in the neighborhood,
thought I'd stop by and say hi.
[Olivia] Mm.
You know?
So, you have your baby?
I knew that was coming.
[Olivia] Mm-hmm.
Yes.
(mellow jazz music continues)
That hurts,
but good.
Y'all together now?
No.
And that's because I've always loved you.
Uh,
I've never loved her.
You know, just things happen in life
where we have no control over sometimes.
And as a man,
I have to step into the plate
and handle my responsibilities.
Yeah, you do.
It's just a shame that you had a baby
with somebody else, not me.
Yeah, not a day go by
that I don't regret it.
I know I hurt you, baby, and I'm sorry.
Matter of fact, I'm sorry for everything.
And I wish I could take it back.
Did you get any of my letters?
I did.
Did you read 'em?
Yes, I read them.
Oh, okay.
They were sweet,
but it was just too much
for me to respond back then, you know?
[Marcus] Yeah.
I forgive you, though.
I'm not perfect either.
Liv, you've always
been perfect in my eyes.
Stop, Marcus.
You know I'm serious.
I don't know, maybe we can get together,
go get something to eat,
catch up, old time's sake.
I don't think that's a good idea.
No?
No.
Okay. That's fair.
Uh, I guess I should get going then.
Took up too much of your time as it is.
Lemme let you get back
to your little gardening.
What you got growing over here?
What is this?
Mind your business.
What, you growing weed over here?
(both laugh)
I had to do something
with all the free time
I had after you left.
I'm back now.
If it was worth,
I don't have to leave.
Centerfold
Hard to hide it
Hide it
All on the walls
In the writing
The writing
If we stay
We're complacent
Too much time
To be wasted
I don't wanna lie to you like this
I don't wanna fight with you like this
We gon' pay the price if we blinded
Oh
Baby, don't you
Baby, don't you
Wait on me
Babe, food will be ready in a minute.
(doorbell rings)
Hey, babe. I hope you don't mind.
I invited some company
tonight over with his lady.
I thought it'd be nice
for us to have some company for a chance.
Yeah, that's fine.
Good thing I made enough food.
You the best.
This them right here at the door.
(mellow music)
- Yo.
- What's up, bro?
What's up, bro?
How you feeling?
Oh, man, I can't complain, man.
Where the lady at?
Man, she got sick last minute
and I ain't wanna have
to cancel completely.
(Marcus sighs)
Man, I'm sorry to hear that man.
Man, it's all good.
I brought a little something, though.
Oh, man. You ain't have to do this, man.
We got plenty of wine and liquor, man.
Nah, I know.
I was always taught to bring something
when I come to a party.
(both laugh)
Hey, man. You hungry?
Yeah, I can eat.
Come on, man.
Let me introduce you to my wife.
The food looks great.
Thanks.
Yeah, my baby do her thing, man.
She know how to get to my heart,
through my stomach.
I'm sure.
Baby, what's wrong?
Nothing.
You sure?
I'm fine.
So why don't y'all tell me the story
of when y'all first met?
That is a good story.
But hold that thought, play boy.
Let me use this bathroom real fast.
I'll be right back.
Babe, keep your eyes on this guy, man.
(suspenseful music)
So, what's up stranger?
Hey, is this some kind of
sick game you're playing?
No.
Then why are you here?
'Cause your husband invited me.
What do you want, Devon?
You know what I want.
I want you to tell him the truth or I will.
There's nothing to tell.
(Devon snickers)
Oh, no?
You need to leave.
Like I said, I was invited.
[Marcus] What'd I miss?
Marcus, your wife was just
telling me a funny story.
You really gotta hear it.
Oh, yeah? What's that, babe?
It's nothing, baby, really.
I won't laugh.
It's nothing.
You know a story isn't as funny
the second time around.
Nah, go ahead. Tell him.
He really gotta hear it.
(suspenseful music)
Come on, Olivia.
You wasn't always this shy.
(tense music)
(cutlery clatters)
What you mean by that?
(tense music continues)
By what?
You just said that she
wasn't always this shy.
Do you guys know each other from somewhere?
I'm missing something?
I think we all need another drink.
I don't need no drink.
I'm talking to you.
You might wanna back up,
- partner.
- Devon,
have you lost your damn mind?
Yeah. What are you doing, man?
Bring a gun at my house?
Both of y'all, shut the fuck up.
I'm asking the fucking questions.
Now, sit your down.
What? (gun clacks)
I said sit your down.
All right, man. Got it.
Relax. Relax.
Now get up. Get up!
Get the fuck up!
Tie his ass to the chair.
Hurry the fuck up!
Tie his ass to the chair!
Just don't hurt my wife, man.
[Devon] Shut the up.
Serious, man?
[Devon] Now sit your ass down over there.
Shut the fuck up.
Put your fucking hands behind the chair.
Put your hands fucking behind the chair!
Don't hurt my fucking wife.
Shut the fuck up.
Fucking say nothing else.
(dramatic music)
Hey, gimme a kiss.
Get your hands off of me.
Get your fucking hands off my wife.
You gotta be nice to me, bitch.
Go the hell.
Don't worry. That's where we all going.
Hey, Devon, you wanna tell
me what this is all about?
Look, I'll fucking tell
you what it's all about.
Nigga, you could think of
me as boyfriend number two.
I get all the benefits when you fuck up.
And, yeah, definitely pussy-
- Shit.
And it's so good.
I know you know, though.
Fuck you!
My wife would never cheat on me.
(Devon laughs)
Guess you don't know your wife like I do.
But don't worry, I got
something for you to hear.
(tense music)
Sure you don't have anything
to say before I play this?
Fuck you.
(Devon laughs)
Don't worry.
I have more than enough
time for that later.
(tense music continues)
(phone beeps)
[Olivia] I can't do this anymore.
[Devon] Do what?
[Olivia] I can't have
sex with you anymore.
[Devon] Yes you can, 'cause if not,
I'll tell your husband the truth.
[Olivia] This was not
supposed to go this far.
I had sex with you one time
when I was mad and angry at my husband.
Fuck you. Fuck... Yeah,
what about the other times?
I'm gonna kill you.
I know it's hard to hear, ain't it?
You been cheating on me this whole time?
I'm sorry.
I, I... (sighs)
Liv, it's okay.
How about we play a little game?
(tense music continues)
Look, there's one fucking
bullet in this gun
and one of us deserves to die,
but I'ma leave it up to you to choose.
Who is it going to be, Marcus?
Your precious little wife
or me,
the one who was fucking her?
How about I kill both of y'all?
Uh-uh-uh.
You gotta play by the rules, buddy.
(tense music continues)
Who's it gonna be? Marcus?
Make a choice.
(tense music continues)
(Marcus whimpers)
(tense music continues)
Stop being a bitch and take the shot!
(trigger clicking)
(Devon laughs)
You see?
You're such a fucking bitch.
So fucking soft.
I knew you would choose me.
But you thought I would make it
that easy for you, motherfucker?
Fuck you!
You so fucking dumb.
(ominous music)
(gun clacks)
Don't worry, baby.
We gonna get rid of this, nigga.
We gonna sail off in the sunset.
(Liv faintly speaking)
I said you're gonna sail
off in the fucking sunset.
[Marcus] Sail by yourself.
(tense music)
Hey. You okay?
(tense music continues)
[Olivia] Baby, watch out.
(gun fires)
(Olivia sighs)
Holy shit.
(suspenseful music)
(Olivia deeply exhales)
You okay?
Gimme the gun.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Baby, what are you gonna...
Huh?
Gimme the gun, okay?
I can fix this.
You don't really.
I'm sorry about everything.
No, no, no. No, no, no, no.
You don't have to be sorry.
It's all my fault.
It's my fault.
I can fix this, I promise.
Let's just go back to the way things was.
- I'm sorry.
- We can do it.
Things can never go back... Baby.
- To the way they were.
- Baby, listen.
Look at me. Look at me.
I love you.
I've always loved you.
Please just gimme the gun, okay?
I can get rid of this.
We can live happily ever after.
I love you. Please stop.
Cheating is one thing-
- [Marcus] Baby.
But you gave a bitch a baby.
I'm sorry.
Just, just look at me.
I fucked up.
I can make this right, please.
I, I love you.
Till death do us part.
What hap-what happened
to till death to us part?
Nothing.
[Marcus] Baby, just gimme the gun.
This is just where we part.
(gun fires)
(Olivia crying)
(Olivia heavily breathing) (pensive music)
[Raven] Hey.
Ooh.
(shower running)
(door creaking) (pensive music continues)
(ominous music)
(gun fires)
(body thuds)
(reflective music)
Hey. It's okay.
Mommy's got you.
It's gonna be me and you.
(baby crying)
(rain pattering)
(thunder claps)
(reflective music continues)
(water splashes)
(thunder claps)
(thunder claps)
Tonight I'll sleep in this old house
Where dreams were built
up from the ground
A castle built up in the clouds
Eventually must fall
Tomorrow I'll wake up and wish
That the slipper never fit
And maybe someday I'll forget
We ever loved at all
Remember what it felt like
Back at the start
When we were living
With fairytale hearts
Wish I could have read the ending
Before it all played out
I guess a broken king and queen
Eventually
Give up the crown
(ethereal music)
