Zatima (2022) s01e03 Episode Script

1
You know I'm your girl.
And I want the best for you.
That nigga in there,
is not it.
[Zac]: Previously, onZatima.
I love her.
Now you might not know that
'cause you don't know me.
She makes me feel like I got
everything under control,
even shit like this.
Good news is you're ready.
Bad news is they're
sending Gretchen.
And she's a bitch.
You got a tip from this woman.
Do you want to tell me the truth
or do I open that door
for the FBI?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes.
You wanna tell me?
Uh, she looks familiar.
Looks familiar?
Come on.
Yeah, I might
I might have seen her somewhere.
I just
Where?
I don't know.
I can't tell you.
- She a regular--
- Guess.
[sighs] I'm drawing a blank.
I can't. I don't--
There is one thing
that I hate.
[Zac] Mm-hmm.
And that's somebody
wasting my time.
All right, I agree.
I'm not trying--
So tell me who she is.
I-I can't.
I don't know who that is.
Wow.
You're really doing this.
Gretchen, I don't know who-
You don't lie well, Mr. Taylor.
How would you know?
You don't even know me.
- So--
- How would you know?
You're gonna stick to this?
Gretchen, I have no idea.
I don't know her.
Okay.
Okay.
Do I need a lawyer?
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
You're gonna need several.
Fine. I'll get several.
Okay. And while you're
with the several,
why don't you ask 'em
to help you explain this?
Now do you remember, Mr. Taylor?
You're standing right
in front of her.
She's a passenger.
I'm giving her a bag.
And you don't know her?
No, I don't.
You know how big
that airport is?
You know how many passengers
came through there?
It was my job
to give passengers their bag.
I don't see her giving you
any money in this picture.
I didn't get tipped
all the time.
- Did that offend you?
- It probably did.
Wouldn't that make
you remember it?
No, because it happened a lot.
Another thing that
I don't like is a liar.
Do you know what
I don't like, Gretchen?
- This.
- Excuse me.
You asked me a question, right?
I give you an answer.
If you don't like my truth,
then we don't have anything
to talk about.
- You sure about that?
- I'm positive.
Okay.
Yeah.
I ain't scared of you.
Call your peoples.
I don't care.
Come on in.
And arrest him.
Love ain't perfect
We still workin'
May not be what we see on
TV ♪
But it's damn sure worth it
Uh-huh ♪
Love ain't perfect
We still workin'
May not be what we see on
TV ♪
But it's damn sure worth
it ♪
Uh-huh
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah ♪
Da-da-da-do-do-do
We're still workin' ♪
Where they at?
Mr. Taylor,
no one has ever talked
to me like that.
Well, I'm-I'm-I'm sorry.
Everyone is usually so nervous,
they shit themselves.
Well, when you don't
have anything to hide.
No, no, no, no, no.
You got something to hide.
You do.
I just don't have any proof yet.
Gretchen, there's nothing
to find proof of.
I don't believe that.
Well, that's on you.
That don't got nothin' to do--
I know she told you something.
I do, but we need proof.
And when we spoke to her,
she denied the whole thing.
Gretchen, it's because
there's nothing--
Save it.
I know you did something,
but you're smart.
Thank you for saying I'm smart.
That wasn't a compliment.
Hmm, how could being smart
not be a compliment?
Because smart people like you
with street sense always think
that they got away with it,
but it catches up with you.
Me? Street? Zac?
Zac is not street.
I'm straight.
Not street, straight.
Can we agree on that?
That's not me anymore.
Okay.
I'm closing this investigation.
Thank you.
Until I get proof.
Good luck with that.
There's none out there.
You are so damn
sure of yourself.
About this?
Yeah.
Oh, this is gonna be fun.
I appreciate you, Gretchen.
I just--
You want a water
on your way out?
Good-bye, Mr. Taylor.
I'll see myself out.
Hah!
Stay up, stay up
Stay up ♪
Stay up, stay up, stay up
Stay up, stay up
Yo.
Hey.
What's up?
[sighs] Nothing.
So
No kiss?
Better?
That's all I get?
A little, dry-ass kiss?
I got more for you later.
Yo, you still mad?
I'm not mad.
I'm just tired, baby.
It's been a long day.
And my feet hurt.
All right.
Give me them feet.
- You got those shoes off.
- Zac, what are you--
I got you.
I got you.
Let me take care of them feet.
What are you doing?
Thank you, but
Yes. Come on, come on, come on.
- Whew.
- What's up?
- I gotta go to the salon.
- Tonight?
- Yeah.
- Why?
This is the only time
she can get my hair done
with everything else going on.
It look good to me.
Thank you.
Sorry.
I forgot your slippers.
You wanna know how to take care
of these bunions?
- You like them bunions.
- I'm gonna lick them bunions.
Why are you in such a good--
Stop.
Why are you in
such a good mood?
The SEC person came by today.
Wait, what?
Yeah.
I crushed that shit.
- Are you serious?
- I swear.
I was sitting right there.
She came in and asked
all these questions.
She was trying to be all stern.
I looked her right in the face.
I was saying all this
Wall Street lingo
and then she was just like,
oh, oh, oh, oh.
- And I was like, yeah.
- What'd she do?
She was like, oh, oh, oh, oh.
I was like yeah, you ain't
never met nobody like me.
Wow.
She said she's gonna
close the case.
This is good.
[knock on door]
Oh. And speaking
of moving forward.
[both sigh]
Hi.
Come on.
You wanna see your baby?
I see him.
Don't be like that.
Like what?
I wanna see him.
Why are you being so nice?
Come here, baby.
So look
about this test.
I'm not paying for it when
you got all this money.
I mean, look at this house.
Fine, I'll pay for it.
I don't care.
He's your baby.
I hear you.
You know it is.
He looks just like you.
No, he don't.
He look just like you.
You know what I saw?
That for rent sign next door.
My private investigator told
me that this is your building,
so why don't you just
let us move in here?
You sound crazy.
I didn't sound crazy
that night, did I?
When I was sayin',
aw, aw, aw.
I don't even remember
what you sound like.
I don't--Fatima, can we
get this done, please?
No. She ain't gettin' nothin'
done until we make an agreement.
What?
You're not getting that test
until you give me
my child support.
You're not getting his DNA.
You, you, go on.
Just go on.
You're gonna pay me.
You want some money.
I ain't paying you.
Do I need to remind you?
Don't make me put your head
through that wall again, okay?
Again?
Oh, yeah. We had an um,
we had a little chit-chat
today at her job.
So, so, so you're
threatening me and shit?
No. She's not--
- I'm not doing this shit.
- She's not threatening--
- I came over here
to tell ya'll the truth
and you wanna do this?
- No.
- Fuck this shit.
No, let her go, Zac.
Let her go.
Can you just let me
get the DNA?
I guess you're gonna
beat everybody up?
If I have to.
That's not gonna work.
Gosh.
I already got the DNA.
- What?
- Mm-hmm.
- When you did that?
- You gotta watch me, honey.
You gotta watch me.
Open up.
Ah, there you go.
When did you do that?
You Yo, you be on the
criminal tip all the time.
You got the DNA from the baby?
What the hell you think
I was doing over there?
- Yes.
- Mm-hmm.
Mm, mm, mm.
That's what I'm talkin' about.
- Come on.
- That's my baby.
I knew you was gonna do that
when you went over there.
- I figured you was gonna.
- Uh-huh, yeah.
Keep her distracted.

And our office has a lab.
And we can get these results
back in less than 36 hours.
There you go.
So yeah. Bonnie and Clyde.

We about to go jogging.
And I'ma fill him in
on the SE-- What's that?
- What is that?
- Bryce?
Are we still doing this?
I'm-I'm sorry.
I don't know what it is, but
it's just something about him
I cannot put my finger on
and I'm trying not to--
If you can't put
your finger on it,
that means it's nothing.
Let it go.
He a good dude.
He got me off the hook
like, I am not going to jail.
You gotta be-- He should be,
you should be his
number-one fan now.
I gotta work on that one,
but all right, you know what?
Enjoy your run with Bryce.
Okay, well, you enjoy
getting your hair done.
I will.
I'm just gonna
mess it up again.
I'm gonna meet
somebody new tonight.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yes.
Play with me.
Keep playing with me.
Oh, I like it when
you're jealous, daddy.
You better stop.
[Fatima]: I gotta go

Wait, wait, wait.
No, no, no.
You gotta be kidding me.

You were there the whole way.
Oh yeah, yeah.

People don't help
people like that.
Now you didn't have
to do what you did,
like giving me all the answers
and stuff like that.
I don't know what I did
to meet you and Fatima
at this point in my life,
but it's a gamechanger for me.
It's all good, man.
Nah, it's not good.
You're a good dude, bro.
And you always
got my back for me.
We gonna be tight.
You're stuck with me now.
You're stuck with me.
Well, you don't have
anything to worry about.
And anything I can share
with you, I will. Open book.
Well, I'm glad you said
that 'cause I really want
to start flipping houses.
Really?
Like that one.
Is that why we came
running over here?
I mean, that and because
I don't wanna jog no more
because I'm tired.
You jog all the time?
Like, my back be hurting.
I don't know how you

But yeah, I like it.
What you think?
I want your opinion.
I mean,
the neighborhood's developing.
It's next to the Beltline.
That's true.
I think it's a good buy.
Yeah.
I'ma take--I'ma take
the realtor's number.
Oh. I know her.
You do?
Yeah. That's Valerie.
I can put in a word for you.
So you know everybody.

Uh, no, no.
He's not.
Can we go by?
Yeah. Why?
I don't-- Okay, don't think
I'm putting the cart
before the horse,

office to go with my business
to make me legit.
You know, people take you
serious when you got an office,
you know?
Yeah, that's a good idea.
Yeah, for sure. Let's go.
We can just run up

Slow your ass down.

Oh, hey, girl.
Hey. I was just

So we just figured

I told you.
How's the dick, baby girl?

I can't with you.
Y'all are a mess, okay?
Well, you might as well
tell us, girl
'cause you come in here
for a reason.
Uh, yeah, to get my hair done,
not to talk about that.
- Shh. She's a good girl.
- Mm-hmm.
Oh, shit. Well, is it true
that Belinda had him?
- Why would you do that?
- What? Shit!
- Damn, Cal!
- What?
Now you know I can't hold water.
No, but you can hold
a dick in your ass.
Now go somewhere.
I'm sorry about this, girl.
What is he talking about?
Nothing. I don't know.
See, that's why I don't like to
come to this messy-ass salon.
You know what?
Shit.
Look, I'm sorry about that.
It's fine.
But she did, though.
Gigi, what?
Yes, okay. She did.
And it's all good.
We cool.
Wait a minute.
Child, are you into threesomes?
What? No.
No, but that was before me
and it's all good.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Why are you asking?
Well, let's just
get our hair done
and get up out
this messy-ass salon.
No. I wanna know.
Don't do it, Gigi.
Belinda was crazy about him.
I know that.
But she knows that
I'm with him now.
Exactly.
Well.
Stop it.
What?
Nothing, girl.
It's nothing.
It's nothing.
Angela. You don't hold anything
back from me. What is it?
I'm not holding anything back.
Girl, it's nothing.
For real.
For real.
She told Cal that
she really likes him.
Oh, that's, that's good.
That's what y'all
are worried about?
No, girl.
Like she wants to fuck him.
No.
Now that's my girl.
She would never do that.
Exactly.
Belinda knows better.
Yeah.
Right. See, that's why
I don't like to come here.
All this gossip and bullshit.
Look, y'all, I do not do the he
said, she said, okay? Come on.
Sorry.
Keep that bullshit to yourself,
all right? That's my friend.
I didn't mean to upset you.
Well, you did.
Hell, you upset both of us.
Now can you get back to work,
so we can get up out of here?
Shit. Where is Cal?
I'm not upset.
I just wanna get my hair done.
If I was upset, trust me,
you'd know it.
Ha, I feel you!
Sorry.
Welcome, dude.
Damn.
You like it?
Look at this view.
They rent it by the inch.
I can imagine.
You think I'll be able to afford
something like this one day?
Yeah. Of course.
Not exactly like this,
but you know,
at least have a business
that's successful?
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, for sure.
I'd let you move in here,
but uh, Gary, you know,
he's all about the flash.
There's a bunch of places
you could rent that are a lot
less expensive just as nice.
Well, you point me
in that direction
'cause this shit here, damn.
Yeah, yeah.
Um, actually,
Valerie would know better
than I would.
I can give her a call
when we leave.
Right, right, right.
Right, right, right, right.
Do you wanna go get a drink
or something?
Not right now.
I want to beat Fatima home, so.
Oh. Okay.
How's she doing?
She good, I guess.
You know?
Yeah.
Is she mad at Belinda?
She feels some
kind of way, obviously.
You know what I'm saying,
but she ain't mad.
That's good.
And you, you date her friend,
Angela, right?
Yeah, man.
It's a small world, right?
You just smiled.
The minute I said Angela,
you, you
She's beautiful, you know?
I'm really excited about it.
Yeah, trust me.
I know it's a small world.
Trust me, I know.
Shit.
Well, I'm glad that Fatima's not
mad at Belinda, you know.
I mean, she can't be.
That was two years ago.
Yeah, but I mean, you should
still be careful.
For who?
Belinda?
No. Fatima.
Why should I be careful
about Fatima like, what?
You know, it's like,
girls say that they're okay
and everything's fine,
but reality like,
they're plotting and
What are you?
Like, the woman whisperer?
Nah, but I get-trust me,
I get it.
I got a couple that's
plotting on me right now.
All right. Cool.
I'm just saying, be careful.
That's all I'm saying.
Nah, I got you, I got you.
I got you.
Well, I mean, Fatima
pretty cool, you know,
and if she's planning somethin'
then I ain't no fool,
you know what I'm sayin'?
I've been doing this, you know?
Okay. Good, good.
All right, hey, man,

You're damn right he is.

He just talk too much.
Always in this messy shit.

Okay.
Yo, yo, yo, yo.

It's okay.
No, you're sick.
Sorry, what do got

We don't got nothin' for you.
See, you're a little tight.
Maybe we should start
with a drink. Come on.

You know how long it takes

She's under the dryer.
She ain't gonna hear her phone.
All right.
I know you haven't changed, Zac.

- That's okay.
Do not follow me up
the stairs! Belinda!
That means follow.
I know, baby.
It's okay.
Belinda, I will kick you

Yeah, huh-huh.
