00:00:05May I call you Stacey?
00:00:10This was your second deployment.
00:00:1215 months.
00:00:14Well, your husband and your son must be thrilled to have you home.
00:00:20Ow!
00:00:21Come on, Mom!
00:00:22On the bump, huh?
00:00:24On the bump!
00:00:25Ow!
00:00:26Sexy, sexy!
00:00:28Ow, ow!
00:00:30How's it feel?
00:00:33Lonely.
00:00:34Thank you, baby.
00:00:37I'm going to get something out of the kitchen.
00:00:39Okay.
00:00:43You've been gone a long time, Mom.
00:00:46I know.
00:00:49I miss my friends.
00:00:55You can call them.
00:00:57Can't call all of them.
00:01:00Can't call Russell.
00:01:01Russell?
00:01:02My friend.
00:01:04Stepped on an IED.
00:01:06Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:01:08How does that make you feel?
00:01:12Selfish.
00:01:14Selfish?
00:01:15That's interesting.
00:01:17Why selfish?
00:01:20Because when I was putting pieces of his body into a plastic bag, I was happy it wasn't me.
00:01:28That's human, Stacey.
00:01:30And mad.
00:01:31I was so fucking mad.
00:01:33All right.
00:01:34Good.
00:01:34Ed, why?
00:01:34Why are you mad?
00:01:37Ed kept smiling at me.
00:01:39Ed?
00:01:40Who's that?
00:01:41Who's Ed?
00:01:46He's the one who raped me.
00:02:11Oh, God.
00:02:13Oh, God.
00:02:13No.
00:02:17Shit.
00:02:18Hello?
00:02:19Hello?
00:02:20You just hit my car.
00:02:24Are you ignoring me, you rude?
00:02:25Hey, hey, hey.
00:02:26I'm calling the police.
00:02:27What's going on here?
00:02:28What's going on?
00:02:28She just slammed into my car.
00:02:30Now she's totally ignoring me.
00:02:31Okay, look.
00:02:32You can understand.
00:02:33Please, just stay calm.
00:02:35I'm sorry.
00:02:38I'm strong.
00:02:40Yeah, that's right.
00:02:42No, uh, three deployments.
00:02:45June 7th, 2010.
00:02:48And don't you folks write this shit down?
00:02:51Well, I'm sorry I'm cursing, lady.
00:02:53I've called you guys ten times in the past fucking month.
00:02:57I'm sorry.
00:02:59How's it feel?
00:03:00Being back.
00:03:02Feels like I'm in the way.
00:03:04Interrupting their routines.
00:03:05I just wanted to take a walk, give them a break from my funk, you know?
00:03:09I didn't even realize it was 4th of July until I saw the crowds.
00:03:14The explosions.
00:03:18Oh, my God!
00:03:24Oh, my God!
00:03:25Oh, my God!
00:03:29Oh, my God!
00:03:30Oh, my God!
00:03:31Oh, my God!
00:03:32Oh, my God!
00:03:32Oh, my God!
00:03:33Oh, my God!
00:03:33Oh, my God!
00:03:34Oh, my God!
00:03:34Oh, my God!
00:03:35Oh, my God!
00:03:35Oh, my God!
00:03:35Oh, my God!
00:03:36Oh, my God!
00:03:36Oh, my God!
00:03:37Oh, my God!
00:03:37Oh, my God!
00:03:39Oh, my God!
00:03:41Oh, my God!
00:04:01Hey, Stacey. My buddy.
00:04:07Jesse home?
00:04:10Yeah.
00:04:12I'm gonna call him for you.
00:04:14Just stay here for me, okay?
00:04:16Jesse.
00:04:17Yeah, she's a little out of it, man, but she isn't going nowhere.
00:04:22Right here, just after the court.
00:04:25Yeah, I'll keep an eye. I'll wait for you.
00:04:28Oh, this is you.
00:04:41I'll hold it up, man.
00:04:43Okay.
00:04:45You should get her and take her.
00:04:47She seems like she's a little out of it, but off the bat.
00:04:54Hey.
00:05:01Hey.
00:05:01Hey.
00:05:05Hang on.
00:05:11I got you.
00:05:13Come on, babe.
00:05:35Short run to Vancouver.
00:05:38One night layover.
00:05:42Oh, baby.
00:05:43Hey, are you going to be okay?
00:05:48Yeah?
00:05:56Oh, shoot.
00:05:59Come here.
00:06:01Come here.
00:06:07I love you.
00:06:13Come here, baby.
00:06:16You're going to be all right.
00:06:17You're going to be all right.
00:06:20You know what I mean?
00:06:22All right.
00:06:39I thought some exercise with Jesse Jr. would help me relax.
00:06:45But the sounds just took me back to patrol duty in Iraq.
00:06:58Put it down!
00:06:59Put it down!
00:07:07Jesse, stop!
00:07:09Are you writing that Sergeant Armstrong is batshit crazy and needs to be medicated?
00:07:14No, silly.
00:07:15Of course not.
00:07:17Because I've been down that road with army docs.
00:07:19I had meds to sleep.
00:07:20Meds to wake up.
00:07:21Meds to eat.
00:07:22Meds to stop eating.
00:07:23Meds to make me shake.
00:07:24Meds to make me stop shaking.
00:07:27That's how I met Tanisha at the base pharmacy.
00:07:30We served together.
00:07:31Meds to make me shake.
00:07:34Meds to make me shake.
00:07:36Meds to make me shake.
00:07:37Meds to make me shake.
00:07:38Hey, securing the perimeter, soldier?
00:07:41Hell yeah.
00:07:43You know, working this damn graveyard shift is kicking my ass.
00:07:48How's it going with Big Jesse?
00:07:51We're good.
00:07:52Better watch out for that damn perfume on the pillow.
00:07:56Jesse is not that stupid.
00:07:59Well, don't let me have to come and bail your ass out again.
00:08:02No, I think she learned her lesson last time I came home.
00:08:07What about you?
00:08:08You getting your freak on?
00:08:10I wish, girl.
00:08:14This PTSD is kicking my ass.
00:08:17Tell me about it.
00:08:18I got nightmares.
00:08:21Doing 50 damn lock checks at night.
00:08:24I hear a squeak and I'm like jumping out of my skin.
00:08:29I need a damn beer.
00:08:31Call me later if you need to, all right?
00:08:34Well, I know you'll be away.
00:08:37Right?
00:08:39Okay.
00:08:45All right, I can't make love to my husband anymore.
00:08:48So he gets sympathy fucks from St. Shirley every damn time I deploy.
00:08:51And I'm way past praying about it.
00:08:53I'm not going to pray while he plays me.
00:09:20Please.
00:09:21What?
00:09:22Come here.
00:09:24Come here.
00:09:25Come here.
00:09:25Shh. Get Shirley.
00:09:27Go. Get Shirley. Get Shirley.
00:09:29Go get her. She said I can't.
00:09:31Go get her.
00:09:37I've already signed my soul.
00:09:38Get your ass out here.
00:09:43Let me tell you, when you do your dancing,
00:09:45you're going to do your business.
00:09:47Get Pastor Jones!
00:09:49Call Pastor Jones.
00:09:51I will put your crazy ass in jail again.
00:09:53Get it! You just clean up behind yourself!
00:10:01Stay the fuck away from my husband!
00:10:42Now, he's got his secrets,
00:10:46and I've got mine.
00:11:00Are you ready to march?
00:11:02Yeah. Ready to get out of here.
00:11:04I'm going to be yelling.
00:11:06I hope I won't embarrass you.
00:11:07Nah, man. You can yell as loud as you want to.
00:11:11Why's your mom?
00:11:12She's good.
00:11:13Good.
00:11:15I'll get some rest.
00:11:16You call Billy and Tyrone?
00:11:18Yeah.
00:11:208 a.m.
00:11:22My man.
00:11:23I'm proud of you.
00:11:24All right.
00:11:25Thanks, my man.
00:11:26All right. See you later.
00:11:29Hey.
00:11:31I thought you'd be asleep.
00:11:34How you feeling?
00:11:36I went to see Shirley today.
00:11:38Huh?
00:11:39I found her earring, and I wanted to return it.
00:11:43Shit.
00:11:48Thought she might like the sheets, too.
00:11:50Shit.
00:11:56Shit.
00:12:00Shit.
00:12:03Shit.
00:12:16Shit.
00:12:18Shit.
00:12:28I'm not following nobody.
00:12:30Calm down.
00:12:31Calm down.
00:12:31Hey.
00:12:32Get off of me.
00:12:33Hey.
00:12:34Leave me alone.
00:12:35Hey.
00:12:36Hey.
00:12:37Stacey, damn it.
00:12:38Look at this.
00:12:39See what you're doing over here?
00:12:40Now I got to go and put you in there.
00:12:41I ain't got to rush.
00:12:43Get in the car.
00:12:45Believe me, no choice.
00:12:46Do not resist.
00:12:46Stop it.
00:12:47Do not resist.
00:12:48I do not want to have to call any backup.
00:12:51Put your feet in the car.
00:12:56Man.
00:12:57This is not my idea of a good time here.
00:12:59I just want you to know that.
00:13:00get out.
00:13:18Torn your man.
00:13:21Yeah.
00:13:23I'm out.
00:13:31No, I don't want to talk about the arrest.
00:13:34What time is it?
00:13:37It was just stupid.
00:13:38I missed graduation, but the people he loves were there.
00:13:41His dad, his girl Billy.
00:13:49Yeah, now.
00:13:51Okay.
00:13:52Okay, that's enough.
00:13:53Alright.
00:13:54Let's do that.
00:13:55Come look.
00:13:57You ready for your graduation present?
00:13:58Yeah, of course.
00:14:01You got to take something off.
00:14:03Take something?
00:14:04You just took something off.
00:14:05Something else.
00:14:08No problem.
00:14:13You cheated.
00:14:14You got to take something else off.
00:14:16No, I didn't.
00:14:16I took it off.
00:14:18Fine.
00:14:18Whatever.
00:14:19Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:14:20Now, I didn't sign up for all this.
00:14:21You want your graduation present or not?
00:14:23Yeah, of course I want it.
00:14:25Well, then shut up and be patient.
00:14:27Ooh.
00:14:27I like it when you're being bossy.
00:14:29I know you do.
00:14:30Okay, you ready?
00:14:31Uh-huh.
00:14:34Mmm, bossy babies.
00:14:36You remember?
00:14:37Yeah, of course I remember.
00:14:39You remember seventh grade when we used to always, when I used to go to your football games?
00:14:44Mm-hmm.
00:14:45We used to do it underneath the bleachers.
00:14:46We never did it underneath no bleachers.
00:14:48Well, I wanted to.
00:14:49You did?
00:14:50Mm-hmm.
00:14:55You want some more?
00:14:57What about this weekend?
00:15:04What?
00:15:05What's up?
00:15:06Okay.
00:15:07Let's go.
00:15:08Let's go.
00:15:09Let's go.
00:15:13Let's go.
00:15:41Jesse?
00:15:42Jesse?
00:15:43Who is this?
00:15:45Terry.
00:15:46Terry?
00:15:48Are you alright?
00:15:50I'm fine.
00:15:51Yeah.
00:15:53Congratulations.
00:15:54Thanks.
00:15:55So, where are you?
00:15:58Home.
00:15:59Home.
00:16:00For good?
00:16:02I don't know.
00:16:04So, what's next?
00:16:06Where are you headed?
00:16:06Wall Street?
00:16:07Med school?
00:16:08Law school?
00:16:09Tyrone got this job for me at this elementary school.
00:16:13Oh.
00:16:15So, how long are you visiting?
00:16:16I'm...
00:16:17Yeah, I'm not sure.
00:16:18Mommy, who are you talking to?
00:16:20What?
00:16:21What are you doing?
00:16:22Uh, was that a...
00:16:23You know, I better go, and it's great talking to you.
00:16:27I'll see you when you get here, home.
00:16:30What's that?
00:16:31Well, that is Mommy's best friend, Billy.
00:16:35Remember you talked to Billy?
00:16:36Gunga, gunga, gunga, gunga.
00:16:38Gunga, gunga, gunga.
00:16:39Gunga, gunga, gunga.
00:16:41Who's that?
00:16:41Who's that?
00:16:42Is that me?
00:16:45Yes.
00:16:46Who's that?
00:16:47Let's keep looking.
00:16:48What else do we see?
00:16:50Hmm.
00:16:50Yeah.
00:16:52Who's that?
00:16:56You.
00:16:57That is me.
00:16:59I can't believe you recognize me.
00:17:01Oh, that was before I had a baby.
00:17:12Hi.
00:17:14Hi.
00:17:14Hi.
00:17:15Hi.
00:17:15Hi.
00:17:16Who died?
00:17:17Nobody.
00:17:18Nobody.
00:17:19You okay?
00:17:19We're fine.
00:17:20We're just, we're visiting.
00:17:22After four freaking years, don't bullshit me, Terry.
00:17:25Where's Luke?
00:17:25Shh.
00:17:26He's sleeping.
00:17:26He's sleeping.
00:17:27He's sleeping.
00:17:27He's sleeping.
00:17:28He's sleeping tomorrow.
00:17:30Yes.
00:17:35Okay, so I'm here.
00:17:38You said you wanted to tell me when I got here.
00:17:40I just wanted to see you.
00:17:42You can see me on Facebook.
00:17:45You travel cross country for the first time in four years to see Jessie.
00:17:49I know you like I know the background.
00:17:55It's Luke.
00:17:56He's asking a lot of questions.
00:18:00Well, you know, Jessie's gonna have a lot of questions, too.
00:18:03I know, Billy.
00:18:07I'm so glad he got Billy.
00:18:10I'm so glad he got Billy.
00:18:10Jessie's got Shirley.
00:18:22Let's go, guys.
00:18:23Come on.
00:18:26And I take care of myself.
00:18:32Michael helps me out.
00:18:40And I help him out.
00:18:42Soldier or civilian, everybody needs a little extra help sometimes, right?
00:18:45You know.
00:18:58Billy's always laughing at Veronica Terry's mom with the Botox, fake hair, fake breasts.
00:19:03That stuff is her drug.
00:19:04She just needs it.
00:19:09Oh, my God.
00:19:10God damn it, Mother.
00:19:11Oh, my God.
00:19:12What the hell are you doing here, Billy?
00:19:14I'm so sorry, Miss Spider.
00:19:17Where's Luke?
00:19:18Oh, he's still asleep.
00:19:20Terry, too.
00:19:21Oh, ow.
00:19:22You nearly made me bust out of my stitches.
00:19:25Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:19:27Are you okay?
00:19:27No, no, no.
00:19:28I paid really good money for these.
00:19:30And you know, I don't want them falling out on my living room.
00:19:36Floor.
00:19:36Okay.
00:19:37This is the kitchen.
00:19:38No, it's okay.
00:19:39No, I'm okay.
00:19:40I'm okay.
00:19:41Please, please, please.
00:19:43Just had them just still a little tender because I had a little, um, Otox and a little Juvederm
00:19:50and a little...
00:19:52Hey, Mom.
00:19:53What the hell hit you?
00:19:56Wow.
00:19:56It's really good to see you, too.
00:19:59Oh, baby.
00:19:59You know what I mean.
00:20:00Mom, what was it?
00:20:01I missed you.
00:20:02Did you miss me?
00:20:04Are you kidding me?
00:20:05You did this again?
00:20:07Oh, stop.
00:20:08Dr. Ayliss said he kept you.
00:20:09Oh, stop.
00:20:10Oh, my God.
00:20:11For the love.
00:20:12Listen, that old timer doesn't know what he's talking about, okay?
00:20:16I'm fine.
00:20:18And I'm fine.
00:20:19I'm fine.
00:20:22I'm fine.
00:20:24This is the thing.
00:20:26So this is the one.
00:20:27This is awesome.
00:20:27I want that one.
00:20:28Whoa, me too.
00:20:29What is it?
00:20:30Tell me what it is.
00:20:31Hot chocolate.
00:20:33What is it?
00:20:34And tea hot chocolate.
00:20:37How was the homecoming celebration?
00:20:39Yeah.
00:20:40It was great.
00:20:41Just a couple of months out of college and he was employed.
00:20:44Billy's father is a godsend.
00:20:49What's up?
00:20:50Hey.
00:20:51It's good to have you back.
00:20:52How does it feel to be a graduate?
00:20:54I feel lucky to have a job.
00:20:58Thank you so much, man.
00:20:59Sure.
00:21:00Did my dad say anything about work?
00:21:01Uh, he took a load to Vancouver.
00:21:04Your mother didn't tell you?
00:21:05Man, my mama couldn't tell me anything.
00:21:07She was passed out on the couch.
00:21:09She's worse than I remember, man.
00:21:11Yeah.
00:21:11Melanie and I have been trying.
00:21:16I should have just stayed, man, and just went to community college.
00:21:19Why?
00:21:19So you could be depressed too?
00:21:21No.
00:21:21No.
00:21:22You did the right thing then, you're doing the right thing now.
00:21:25Okay?
00:21:26Hey, hey.
00:21:27Put that down.
00:21:28What are you doing, man?
00:21:30This is my buddy.
00:21:31How do you know I'm going there?
00:21:34I didn't know you bought a new car, Mikey.
00:21:37Yeah.
00:21:37And I didn't know you had a police record.
00:21:40Then you haven't been paying attention.
00:21:41It's not the first time I've seen the inside of a jail.
00:21:44Let me tell you something, Stacy.
00:21:45It better be the last.
00:21:47Okay?
00:21:48Because you don't get no free pass.
00:21:49Just because what?
00:21:51You tripping out on some psychotropic drugs?
00:21:53Don't overreact, man.
00:21:54Don't you get sloppy here.
00:21:57Alright?
00:21:58You know what, five years now?
00:22:01And you know it makes you sleepy.
00:22:02Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:22:03Uh-huh.
00:22:04You put some new ones in here.
00:22:06Wait.
00:22:07Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:22:07Michael, this is all you bought.
00:22:10Stacy, I was in a hurry, okay?
00:22:12I had to go buy the cater.
00:22:13Damn.
00:22:15This isn't enough.
00:22:16Hey, damn.
00:22:16I tell you what, Stacy, Vegas can't be juicy.
00:22:19How about that?
00:22:20Yeah, I'm going to be out in a couple of weeks.
00:22:25Daddy!
00:22:29Hey.
00:22:30We were expecting you last night.
00:22:32You don't need any money, do you?
00:22:34Now stay with Terry.
00:22:35She's visiting.
00:22:37You not happy to see me?
00:22:38Well, if you don't need any money, hey, baby.
00:22:42This car is disgusting.
00:22:43So is that outfit?
00:22:45It's called vintage.
00:22:46Is that coat for ugly?
00:22:48You're so skinny.
00:22:50Looking at you just makes me hungry.
00:22:52I could.
00:22:53Yeah, come on.
00:22:54Let's go to the burger joint down here.
00:22:55All right.
00:22:56Okay, if you don't want any spicy African greens,
00:22:59fish, stew, and honey cornbread, then go ahead.
00:23:02I'll see you later.
00:23:03Peace!
00:23:04Hey!
00:23:04What happened to the tofu and the egg whites?
00:23:08You are so behind.
00:23:11Actually, Tyrone was our lookout the first time Jessie and I made love.
00:23:15I almost forgot about that.
00:23:19Oh, yeah.
00:23:21Oh, yeah.
00:23:22She wants some money.
00:23:23Hey, girl.

00:23:46$200, Stacy.
00:23:47What?
00:23:48You trying to get me to pay for your daughter's fancy wedding?
00:23:52Hey, that's driving me out of my fucking mind.
00:23:54You know, I think my wife has lost her damn mind.
00:23:56Well, don't take it out on me.
00:23:58No, Stacy.
00:23:59Just shut up and pay the piper.
00:24:04Come on, Stacy.
00:24:05Come on.
00:24:05I'm in hurry.
00:24:06I got to go to work.
00:24:07I need to go to my ATM.
00:24:08What the fuck?
00:24:09I think there's one on this corner right here.
00:24:10Stacy, yo.
00:24:10Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:24:12This ain't a taxi service.
00:24:14All right?

00:24:15Fuck all that.
00:24:16Give me the pill, Stacy.

00:24:27What are you doing?
00:24:28Look at you.
00:24:28There's 30 pills in there.
00:24:29They're all going to be.

00:26:11Come on.
00:26:12Let's talk about it.
00:26:13We can't make a scene out here.
00:26:15Come on.
00:26:15Don't you go around that fucking corner.
00:26:18Get in the car.
00:26:19Come on.

00:27:03Please.
00:27:04And hear me out.
00:27:06Please, It's Jesse back there.
00:27:14Saw me.
00:27:16I'm gonna tell you something, right?
00:27:21If I go to jail, you go to jail, partner.
00:27:28You got that?
00:27:44We good?
00:27:46I have to set up a little lemonade stand, too, and, like, trying to sell shit.
00:27:49Do you want to go get some coffee?
00:27:51Wait, hold on.
00:27:52There's a new place down the street.
00:27:53What are you doing?
00:27:55It's Jesse.
00:27:57Jesse?
00:27:58Hello?
00:27:59Hey, Terry.
00:28:00Look, I just saw your mom.
00:28:02She was very upset.
00:28:02Some little boy got hit by a car.
00:28:04They rushed him to the hospital.
00:28:07What little boy?
00:28:08What little boy asked his name?
00:28:10Is his name Luke?
00:28:11Oh, my God.
00:28:12Yeah, yeah, I think, yeah, she said his name was Luke.
00:28:14She was calling his name.
00:28:15That's my son.
00:28:16That's my son.
00:28:18That's our son.
00:28:19Jesse, that's our son.
00:28:20What do you mean that's our son?
00:28:23What?
00:28:24I mean, he's been in an accident.
00:28:25Okay, let's go get my dad.
00:28:26Come on, come on, come on.
00:28:27Oh, my God, what hospital?
00:28:28Where are you?
00:28:36He's holding on.
00:28:38The doctor saved the strong boy.
00:28:40Terry and Veronica are with him.
00:28:41Let us know if there's anything we can do, Jesse.
00:28:43I have to give blood.
00:28:45Apparently, I'm a perfect match.
00:28:55See that reporter Crystal Singletary?
00:28:58We went to school together.
00:29:02I wish you could use a little Botox from the eyes.
00:29:04Four-year-old Luke Davis was struck in a hit-and-run accident on Maple Street, and he is in
00:29:11critical condition at Cedar Pines Hospital.
00:29:14His distraught grandmother reports that he broke away from her and ran suddenly into the street, chasing a small ball.
00:29:22Police are already on the hunt for the hit-and-run driver.
00:29:25They say the driver is a male in his 40s, driving a new black Lexus or Acura.
00:29:31In news from Afghanistan today, two American soldiers were killed when their convoy was struck by a little by...
00:29:38Jesse's devastated.
00:29:40I'm so stupid.
00:29:42I'm stupid.
00:29:44I should have held his hand.
00:29:46Mom, no.
00:29:48It is nobody's fault.
00:29:50I'm sorry.
00:29:53It's nobody's fault.
00:29:59Except...
00:30:01Except the damn driver.
00:30:04Right.
00:30:06Yeah, that bastard can get out of there fast enough.
00:30:34That kid you hit today,
00:30:38that was just a second.
00:30:39My son.
00:30:41Jesse has his son.
00:30:43Our grandson.
00:30:44How is he?
00:30:47They saw you in the car with somebody.
00:30:48How is he?
00:30:49Who was driving the car, Stacy?
00:30:54I told him to stop.
00:30:57Who was driving the car?
00:30:59Michael.
00:31:00His name is Michael.
00:31:02Come on.
00:31:03You're going to the police station,
00:31:04and you're going to tell them everything you know.
00:31:07No, I can't.
00:31:07What do you mean you can't, Stacy?
00:31:10He's a nurse, Jesse.
00:31:15He says he'll tell them about the pills.
00:31:17Hit and run, I'll go to jail.
00:31:21We left it there.
00:31:23So he's a drug dealer.
00:31:24No.
00:31:25Those pills are the only thing keeping me alive, Jesse.
00:31:27I thought I was keeping you alive.
00:31:29I thought that was my job.
00:31:34You're not a soldier no more, Stacy.
00:31:37You're not a mother.
00:31:38You're not a wife.
00:31:42Now get in the car.
00:31:46Come on, get in the car.
00:31:59Dr. Perry's here today.
00:32:02No.
00:32:03No, I don't need to talk to her.
00:32:05Um, I have to cancel our session.
00:32:08I'll reschedule later.
00:32:10Okay.
00:32:11Welcome home.
00:32:17Okay, guys, come here.
00:32:19So let's talk about Luke right now.
00:32:23I want you to know you can talk to me about anything, okay?
00:32:26Why did Luke run on the street?
00:32:29He wasn't thinking.
00:32:31Am I going to be able to see Luke?
00:32:33Is he going to die?
00:32:34He needs to rest right now, but we can make him a card.
00:32:38Luke is Jesse's son?
00:32:40Yeah.
00:32:42Yeah.
00:32:42You guys ready to make the card now?
00:32:43Okay.
00:32:44That is no pizza for you.
00:32:46Can you help the boys with some food?
00:32:47No!
00:32:47I want to make that!
00:32:49Okay.
00:32:49Then we make a card.
00:32:58Hey, baby.
00:32:59Hey.
00:33:08I saw Luke today.
00:33:11Jesse was there.
00:33:13He didn't even look like himself.
00:33:16I know.
00:33:17I know.
00:33:25Oh, my God.
00:33:27Stacy?
00:33:28Well, who's the baby's mama?
00:33:30Terry.
00:33:30Her name is Terry.
00:33:32She was Jesse's high school sweetheart.
00:33:34Oh, shit.
00:33:36What if that baby dies?
00:33:38No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:33:40Nothing's going to happen.
00:33:41We're going to pray.
00:33:43We're going to know that it's...
00:33:45Shit.
00:33:46If this was not enough shit going on...
00:34:02Let me, uh...
00:34:06You might...
00:34:11Stay.
00:34:17Oh, my God.
00:34:31Oh, my God.
00:34:36Oh, my God.
00:34:48I'm going to the hospital to see if I can get them to take a break.
00:34:52And let me sit with Luke for a while.
00:34:54Good luck with that.
00:34:57You going to the hospital?
00:34:58No.
00:35:01Why not?
00:35:02What else do you have to do?
00:35:04Ma, you don't get it.
00:35:05No, I get it.
00:35:07You're dating your best friend's ex.
00:35:09You've been lying to him, and now you got your little self in a big old mess.
00:35:13No.
00:35:14Terry and Jesse hooked up a lifetime ago.
00:35:16I did not lie to him.
00:35:19Whatever.
00:35:21Get over yourself.
00:35:23That little boy is fighting for his life.
00:35:27Ain't nobody thinking about you.
00:35:36Jesus Christ.
00:35:38Honey, listen.
00:35:38We're understaffed today.
00:35:39I don't really have the time.
00:35:40What's going on?
00:35:43You're all right.
00:35:43How much?
00:35:46Baby, how much?
00:35:50For a dress?
00:35:53No, no, no.
00:35:54You tell her we can't afford that.
00:35:56Okay?

00:37:32You what?
00:37:33That's right.
00:37:34You killed him.
00:37:35You hit him with your car.
00:37:37Tanisha.
00:37:43Hey.
00:37:46Can Angie never get this up at the restaurant today?
00:37:48What time you get off?
00:37:49At 9.
00:37:50But I got a date, Stacy.
00:37:51Can't you deliver them?
00:37:54My husband's home, and he's watching me like a hawk.
00:37:57Well, so's my manager, and if you think I'm putting that many drugs in my work locker,
00:38:01you're crazy.
00:38:02T, how many times did I walk your little ass to the toilet at night so nobody would jump
00:38:06you?
00:38:07Every time I had to piss, I guess.
00:38:09Which was often.
00:38:10I'm tiny, I got a tiny ass bladder.
00:38:12And if you think I'm gonna die of dehydration in the desert but not drinking any water, then
00:38:16you're crazy.
00:38:17Damn right.
00:38:18And then when your M16 jammed that night and you clocked that fool in the forehead with
00:38:23it.
00:38:23I'm playing with those sick bastards.
00:38:25You got all gangster.
00:38:30So, you got it or what?
00:38:32I got it.
00:38:35Thanks, T.
00:38:36Thanks, T.
00:38:52Thanks, T.
00:38:58Thanks, T.
00:38:58Thanks, T.
00:39:01Thanks, T.
00:39:02Thanks, T.
00:39:03Thanks, T.
00:39:04Thanks, T.
00:39:05So how long did you know?
00:39:06You know what?
00:39:09That Terry lied.
00:39:12Yeah.
00:39:13That night when we went to hang out and celebrate for high school graduation, she dropped the
00:39:18bomb pregnant.
00:39:20Then dropped the next bomb, I'm having an abortion.
00:39:25I've decided it's my body, my choice.
00:39:29When did all that change?
00:39:32I don't know.
00:39:40I think she changed her mind in the car that morning in the parking lot of the clinic.
00:39:46And when did you know?
00:39:48When did she tell you?
00:39:49She left the next week for Atlanta to stay with her Aunt Melissa.
00:39:54When, Billy?
00:39:57I think she called around Christmas.
00:40:00I thought she was just feeling homesick.
00:40:01God damn it, Billy.
00:40:02When?
00:40:03Christmas Eve.
00:40:05He was born that morning.
00:40:06She was still groggy and crying.
00:40:09And why didn't you tell me?
00:40:12It wasn't my place to.
00:40:14That's never stopped you before.
00:40:16If Terry wanted you to know, she would have told you herself.
00:40:20Damn it, Billy.
00:40:22It wasn't my responsibility to tell you anything.
00:40:25That's bullshit.
00:40:26Now look, I know Terry's supposed to be your friend.
00:40:30But I thought that we were supposed to be friends too.
00:40:39Please, please.
00:40:41Fuck.
00:40:44Get out.
00:40:59Hey!
00:41:01Hey!
00:41:01Hey!
00:41:02I need help!
00:41:03I need a doctor in here!
00:41:04The doctor in here for family.
00:41:06I don't know.
00:41:07I don't know.
00:41:07He was sleeping.
00:41:08First, take her out of here.
00:41:09I need help.
00:41:14Sorry I'm late, man.
00:41:16Terry didn't call you?
00:41:17No.
00:41:17Luke had problems last night.
00:41:19His heart.
00:41:20Blood pressure.
00:41:21Oh, shit.
00:41:23So we're just gonna have to wait for his body to recover a little bit before we do the surgery.
00:41:27You know, he's just a little too weak.
00:41:29I'm sorry.
00:41:29I didn't mean to interrupt.
00:41:31No, no, no, no.
00:41:33Come in.
00:41:34You're Luke's father and I need to pull myself together.
00:41:38Excuse me.
00:41:42So let's wait about 24 hours before scheduling the surgery.
00:41:45All right?
00:41:46Okay.
00:41:56Tyrone told me that Luke was having trouble last night.
00:42:01Why didn't you call me?
00:42:04Why didn't you call me?
00:42:07You knew your son was in the hospital.
00:42:09Do I really need to tell you to check in on your son?
00:42:11Give me a break, Terry.
00:42:13This is all new to me.
00:42:15Remember, you didn't tell me a damn thing.
00:42:17No, I did, actually.
00:42:19I told you I was gonna get an abortion and I didn't hear you say anything.
00:42:23Oh?
00:42:24You was testing me?
00:42:26You failed miserably.
00:42:29You kept my son away from me because I couldn't read your mind.
00:42:35That shit is trifling, Terry.
00:42:37Don't speak like that in front of my son.
00:42:40No, that's not right.
00:42:41Just leave.
00:42:46It fucking, just fucking stinks.
00:42:50All of it.
00:42:51It just fucking stinks.
00:42:53I know.
00:42:56Oh, baby.
00:42:58Goddamn.
00:43:06I went to see Luke.
00:43:11And Veronica thanked me for visiting my son.
00:43:16How is he?
00:43:18How do you think?
00:43:21Mom and her dealer smashed into his little body with a car.
00:43:24It was a terrible accident, Jesse.
00:43:26I'm so sorry.
00:43:27Yeah, well, sorry is not good enough this time, Ma.
00:43:30Look, you watch your tone with your mother.
00:43:32I don't want anybody's pity.
00:43:34Good.
00:43:34Cause you're not getting any.
00:43:37Boy.
00:43:39I'm not gonna ask you again.
00:43:42You better take that base out of your motherfucking voice when you're talking to us.
00:43:46Don't disrespect your mother and my house.
00:43:48You keep defending her.
00:43:51Come on, man.
00:43:52She was getting drugs.
00:43:54She hit my son and took off running with the dealer.
00:43:58Hello?
00:44:00Maybe she's screwing him.
00:44:01Don't disrespect your mother and my house.
00:44:04You hear me, boy?
00:44:05You hear me?
00:44:06Billy!
00:44:07Billy!
00:44:10Terry.
00:44:11Hey.
00:44:13How's Luke?
00:44:16Like you give a shit.
00:44:18What?
00:44:19What are you talking about?
00:44:20I just had the first shower that I've had in three days.
00:44:24Cause I've been by his side.
00:44:26Every minute.
00:44:26Every second.
00:44:27But I didn't see you there.
00:44:28Where the hell have you been?
00:44:30I was trying to give you and Jesse some space.
00:44:34Oh, really?
00:44:36You were trying to give us some space?
00:44:37Were you trying to give us some space when you were screwing him?
00:44:40You fucking bitch.
00:44:41No.
00:44:42No!
00:44:43Hell no!
00:44:44You are not!
00:44:46You are not!
00:44:47Don't!
00:44:47You're gonna lay all of that shit on me!
00:44:49You left!
00:44:51You lied!
00:44:52Don't try to-
00:44:52I lied!
00:44:53You!
00:44:55You my backstabbing!
00:44:57My best friend!
00:44:58My sister!
00:45:00You were honest.
00:45:02Stop.
00:45:05Luke, I want to know about Luke.
00:45:07How is he?
00:45:07Ask Jesse.
00:45:09He was there every day.
00:45:13Good.
00:45:14I'm not surprised.
00:45:15I'm not surprised that he would be there for his son.
00:45:18Maybe you would know that if you had given him the opportunity.
00:45:22Yeah, well I'm surprised.
00:45:24I'm really, really surprised at you.
00:45:28That you would fuck your best friend's boyfriend
00:45:31without even thinking about it.
00:45:32You fucking-
00:45:33His mother was off at war!
00:45:35His father was either fucking around or disappearing the time!
00:45:39Just like your selfish ass!
00:45:45Look, I'm sorry, okay?
00:45:47I didn't mean that.
00:45:49Yes, you did.
00:45:51I'm selfish.
00:45:53I'm selfish?!
00:45:54You're the most selfish person that I have ever met!
00:46:04I'm being back!
00:46:06Jesse.
00:46:10You okay?
00:46:11Please, stop.
00:46:12Jesse.
00:46:13Stop, stop!
00:46:13Jesse!
00:46:14I've got to fix this.
00:46:15I'm okay.
00:46:17Okay?
00:46:17Just leave me alone, Ma!
00:46:20Dang!
00:46:21Just leave me alone!
00:46:33Is this it?
00:46:35Yeah.
00:46:37You know, truckers sometimes get hooked on pills trying to stay awake to make long hauls.
00:46:43They say this is the place to go.
00:46:57Yes?
00:46:58May we come in?
00:47:00Sure.
00:47:01Go ahead, baby.
00:47:06This is Anderson Rehab, correct?
00:47:08Yes.
00:47:09Okay.
00:47:12I'm sorry, I'm so rude.
00:47:13I'm April.
00:47:15Stacy.
00:47:16I'm Jesse.
00:47:18I'm her husband.
00:47:21You need to help.
00:47:24Would you mind waiting outside while I speak with Stacy?
00:47:27Not at all.
00:47:29Right this way, Stacy.
00:47:31This is my room if you need anything.
00:47:35Bathroom's here.
00:47:37This is where you'll be.
00:47:38Okay.
00:47:41Alright, make yourself comfortable.
00:47:44Let me know if you need anything.
00:47:45Okay.
00:48:00I got her.
00:48:01Okay.
00:48:03You go home, get some rest.
00:48:05You can check on her whenever you like.
00:48:08Okay.
00:48:09I tell you, I don't know what to do.
00:48:11Who does?
00:48:39Jesse, what are you doing here?
00:48:40I know Stacy don't play.
00:48:42I don't want any people seeing you come here to tell her to be trying to whoop my ass.
00:48:47Look, you know the guy asked, the soldier.
00:48:51Look, I know all about the rape, okay?
00:48:53I need to find him.
00:48:56I can help you find him.
00:48:58That bastard is crazy.
00:49:01He jumped on a lot of folks before Stacy.
00:49:03It's a damn shame.
00:49:06I know two or three people who know his boys.
00:49:09Not my kind of folks.
00:49:11In the army, you learn real quick who to stay the hell away from.
00:49:14There's a lot of love and a lot of hate.
00:49:16Not much in between.
00:49:18What are you going to do to him?
00:49:20I haven't gotten that far yet.
00:49:23Find him for me.
00:49:26Hello, this is Tanisha.
00:49:32Where's Ma?
00:49:36I want you to call her every day.
00:49:39I want you to call her too.
00:49:43Where are you going?
00:49:44I got to go to Vancouver.
00:49:48Take us in business for you, Ma.
00:49:53This place is a mess.
00:49:56Clean it up.
00:49:58All right?
00:50:00We've got to pass.
00:50:02Time for you.
00:50:03I don't know what time it is
00:50:08Cause Ma Ma never sets the clock's right
00:50:11We had it in the big time,
00:50:13Kirk before alarms.
00:50:16Mm, mm, mm, mm.
00:50:17She sleeps all day, cries all night
00:50:19and I'll always be alone.
00:50:21She lives inside.
00:50:48I brought Vegan Palace.
00:50:53Your backstabbing best buddy didn't forget that you like orange chicken.
00:50:58Soy orange chicken.
00:51:04Excuse me.
00:51:05We've been sleeping together for five months, okay?
00:51:08I don't know what the hell happened.
00:51:10Jesse, you know, he was always my boy, my partner, you know?
00:51:14We've always been tight, but then...
00:51:18One day, he had been playing tennis, and he was all sweaty, and his shirt was off, and...
00:51:26Damn, I was like, Jesse grew up.
00:51:29Jesse is a man, and he's fine, and I...
00:51:32Please stop.
00:51:36I honestly didn't know that you were still hot for him.
00:51:51Terry, I honestly didn't know that you were still hot for him.
00:52:01I'm not.
00:52:03I'm not still hot for him.
00:52:06Oh.
00:52:07Good.
00:52:09And we don't have a problem.
00:52:28How's Stacy?
00:52:30Really?
00:52:31Really?
00:52:32Really?
00:52:32She's messed up.
00:52:34She's getting in fights all the time, getting arrested, on drugs.
00:52:39Crazy as hell.
00:52:40Yeah.
00:52:41But I think Jesse's dad is trying to find some help for her.
00:52:49How's Luke?
00:52:54He's better and better.
00:52:56We're doing a little physical therapy, but he's...
00:53:01He's good.
00:53:04You're getting good at this, man.
00:53:06I gotta find you some more challenging books to read.
00:53:09I told you I was good.
00:53:10Yeah, you are.
00:53:11He can be here, too.
00:53:14No.
00:53:15Let's try this one.
00:53:16Daddy and I...
00:53:17You start.
00:53:20No.
00:53:21I don't want to read no dumb books about stupid daddies no more.
00:53:25Aw, come on, man.
00:53:25Look, I'll help you sound it out.
00:53:28No.
00:53:29I just want to go.
00:53:31Yo, wait.
00:53:32Where are you going?
00:53:33Hold on, boy!
00:53:41What are you doing, boy?
00:53:42Don't you know you get yourself killed out there?
00:53:45I didn't.
00:53:46It was me.
00:53:48What?
00:53:49I didn't know Luke was your son.
00:53:53What are you talking about, man?
00:53:55You wasn't driving a car.
00:53:57But I asked God if I could have a daddy, and I didn't know Luke was your son.
00:54:03Yeah, but you didn't do it.
00:54:06It was just an accident, okay?
00:54:08It was just an accident.
00:54:09But I asked God.
00:54:11Listen, man.
00:54:13God knows your heart.
00:54:16He knows that you wouldn't want to hurt anybody.
00:54:18Ever.
00:54:19He does?
00:54:21Yes.
00:54:24You didn't hurt anybody.
00:54:26Okay?
00:54:27Look at me.
00:54:29You didn't hurt anybody.
00:54:33Okay.
00:54:38You have the shoulders and the frame to carry bigger breasts.
00:54:44When are you gonna stop?
00:54:47What?
00:54:48Humiliating me.
00:54:49Mutilating yourself.
00:54:51What are you talking about?
00:54:52You look like a freak.
00:54:54And now you want me to look like a freak.
00:55:00I'm sorry.
00:55:04I just want you to be as beautiful as you can be.
00:55:07That's all.
00:55:11What mother doesn't want the best for her child?
00:55:13What mother is embarrassed of a child that looks a hell of a lot like she once looked?
00:55:20You have no idea what BD will get you in this world.
00:55:24No idea.
00:55:26Okay.
00:55:29Well, I know what your constant criticism has gotten me.
00:55:36Do you know that I almost had an abortion?
00:55:39What?
00:55:40Well, Jessie didn't want my baby.
00:55:42And I know you wouldn't be able to stand the sight of it either.
00:55:51Did you tell her to kill my grandson?
00:55:54Mom!
00:55:54Mom!
00:55:55Leave Jessie out of this!
00:55:56Mom!
00:55:56You think I'm someone kind of freak?
00:55:57Is that it?
00:55:58Mom!
00:55:59How do you two judge me?
00:56:01What are you running from?
00:56:02What are you hiding from?
00:56:03Please just shut up with your hippie talk.
00:56:05Shut up?
00:56:06Bye-bye!
00:56:08Mom!
00:56:08Mom!
00:56:29Look, I just want to be there for Luke.
00:56:31Whatever's going on with you and your mother-
00:56:33Of course.
00:56:33Yes.
00:56:35It's all about Luke.
00:56:38He needs a father.
00:56:40Fine.
00:56:41Fine.
00:56:45Fine.
00:56:46Fine.
00:57:07I'm sorry.
00:57:09Shhh.
00:57:42Yo, Stacy! Russell!
00:58:10No!
00:58:27Well, I know they miss your touch at home.
00:58:32No.
00:58:36They probably wish I never came back, April.
00:58:40You know that's not true.
00:58:47I nearly killed my grandson.
00:58:54Chasing after these pills.
00:58:59Honestly, they don't even make me feel that good.
00:59:03It's just so painful living without them.
00:59:07All that fighting, hurting and surviving.
00:59:11Now you want to give up on this life?
00:59:13What kind of life is this?
00:59:17I wanted to kill a man, April.
00:59:21Had my arm around his throat. How am I supposed to turn that off?
00:59:26And Luke.
00:59:33Sometimes I think Russell was the lucky one.
00:59:36Who's Russell?
00:59:39Nobody.
00:59:40Nobody.
00:59:41No.
00:59:41No.
00:59:41Hell no.
00:59:43That's what they want us to think, that the soldiers are nobody.
00:59:47He was my friend.
00:59:52He was a silly, silly soldier who made up stupid songs that made me laugh.
01:00:02He totaled his daddy's car when he was in high school.
01:00:09And he was going to propose to his fiancee Kimberly when he got home.
01:00:20He stepped on an IED and I had to pick up the pieces.
01:00:26And nobody's going to pick up the pieces when this thing is over.
01:00:31Nobody's going to even notice.
01:00:34Is that what hurts?
01:00:39Nobody gives a damn about us.
01:00:46I mean, I'm not going to let it hurt my family anymore.
01:00:48I'd rather die than let it hurt my family anymore.
01:00:51Well, sister, that's just selfish.
01:00:55What?
01:00:59Selfish.
01:01:02I just want to protect them.
01:01:03Oh.
01:01:05Keep them from the life that God has planned for them?
01:01:09That's arrogant.
01:01:11Sort of sweet.
01:01:13But arrogant, Stacy.
01:01:16Let your men be men.
01:01:27It's okay.
01:01:29It's okay.
01:01:53It's okay.
01:02:00Hey, Ma.
01:02:02Hey, Jesse.
01:02:04How are you?
01:02:06Getting better.
01:02:07How are you? How's Luke?
01:02:11He's stronger.
01:02:12I guess you could say we both are stronger.
01:02:15Oh, my God.
01:02:18You're a dad now.
01:02:19I can't believe it.
01:02:22Yeah.
01:02:24I'm a dad.
01:02:31What's up, Jesse?
01:02:33Hey, where is he?
01:02:34Excuse me?
01:02:35My dad turned around. Where is he?
01:02:45Your mom got called up to Iraq.
01:02:48I never seen Jesse so torn up.
01:02:51What? Was she scared?
01:02:52She cried like a baby to hear Jesse tell it.
01:02:58Then she shut her face like a bending mask, no emotion.
01:03:03Address. Packed. Left.
01:03:08Sit 15 months.
01:03:14Jesse was the happiest man on the planet when she came back home in one piece.
01:03:22I think she got redeployed a second time.
01:03:24Third time in Afghanistan.
01:03:29Jesse's world turned upside down.
01:03:33News footage.
01:03:35Classmates coming home with missing limbs.
01:03:41I don't know how she made it out.
01:03:43Yeah, strong woman.
01:03:45Jesse was weak, though.
01:03:47And Charlotte was sweet-talking him.
01:03:50Cooking for him every night.
01:03:52I don't know how Stacy found out, but they never stopped fighting after that.
01:03:58And he just ran like a punk.
01:04:00Better not let him hear you say that.
01:04:02He'll hand you your teeth.
01:04:04I don't get it, man.
01:04:06How does he just run off?
01:04:07How does running off solve anything?
01:04:09How does that fix it?
01:04:11Youngblood.
01:04:13You don't know nothing about loving a woman.
01:04:17He's on a mission.
01:04:18You just trust.
01:04:20He's handling his business.
01:05:15All right, guys, don't work.
01:05:25What the fuck?
01:05:29You remember, Sergeant Stacey Armstrong?
01:05:31Huh?
01:05:34Shut up.
01:05:35Shut up.
01:05:37Open up.
01:05:38Go on, open up.
01:05:40Yeah, he liked that, don't you?
01:05:41He fucking liked that, don't you?
01:05:43He won my deal.
01:05:44You want me to do it, don't you?
01:05:48You fucking suck shit.
01:05:52Yeah, Con was a bitch.
01:05:56Look at me.
01:05:58Look at me.
01:06:02Don't you ever...
01:06:05Don't you ever...
01:06:05Don't you ever...
01:06:07Don't you ever...
01:06:10Don't you ever...
01:06:10Don't you ever...
01:06:18Don't you ever...
01:06:26Don't you ever...
01:06:28Don't you ever...
01:06:29Don't you ever...
01:06:31Don't you ever...
01:06:33Don't you ever...
01:06:34Don't you ever...

01:06:41Don't you ever...
01:06:42Don't you ever...
01:06:42Don't you ever...
01:06:43Don't you ever...
01:07:01You can't continue to let this trauma and PTSD control your life, Stacey.
01:07:08There's help for you.
01:07:10Really?
01:07:12I turned the bastard in.
01:07:15They investigated me.
01:07:18They labeled me unfit for promotion.
01:07:20I still had to work with him every day.
01:07:25My husband, Jesse, called the VA so many times, they threatened to have him arrested.
01:07:31They just want to cover their asses, doctor.
01:07:34I understand your frustration.
01:07:36I've heard it many times.
01:07:37But the military is trying to address sexual assault related PTSD.
01:07:45That's bullshit and you know it.
01:07:47Some VA programs are further along than others.
01:07:52Politics.
01:07:53It's a male dominated culture.
01:07:57It's going to take some time.
01:07:59Time my ass.
01:08:01They just want to blame us.
01:08:03They don't want to take any responsibility.
01:08:07Are you willing to take some responsibility, Stacey?
01:08:10Are you willing to take back your life?
01:08:12Yes, I want my life back.
01:08:16I want my husband back.
01:08:21I want my family back.
01:08:23Well, good then.
01:08:27I'm starting a group with women who have similar experiences.
01:08:33I think it's an important step for you.
01:08:36Will you share your story?
01:08:38Yes, I need that.
01:08:40Yes.
01:08:40Other women need it too.
01:08:44Now, is there any other way I can help?
01:08:48No, thank you.
01:08:51There is something else I can do to help myself and help my family.
01:08:55Let's see.
01:08:56Let's go, don't let's do it.
01:09:13Let's go, don't let's do it, don't let's do it.
01:09:15Let's go, don't let's do it.
01:09:16Michael, why did y'all rehab hell, huh?
01:09:21Those pens are my hell.
01:09:23We're a sin.
01:09:24You know your pants are the bones, Stacey.
01:09:26My whole confession was killed in the middle.
01:09:27I know, I know.
01:09:29I'm going to the police department.
01:09:30What do you think you're going to?
01:09:31No, no, no, no.
01:09:33I'd like to bet on drugs, Stacey.
01:09:37Jesse.
01:09:40I turned Michael in to the police today.
01:09:43I'm no surprise who I had to pay for what happened in that boy, babe.
01:09:47I miss you.
01:09:50Stacey, you almost lost luck.
01:09:53How much more we got to lose, babe?
01:09:55Where are you?
01:10:50I see you, girl.
01:10:51but 20 years ago my wife and I used this room on our prom night
01:10:59and tonight I was trying to put together something very special for you know
01:11:02some music, dinner, the horse you're buying
01:11:06but it wouldn't be perfect unless I had this room
01:11:11you must have fucked up bad
01:11:13when you need to reach back 20 years for forgiveness
01:11:15you must have fucked up real bad
01:11:18sounds like a lame plan though
01:11:20you can, lady, you can have my room, I haven't touched it
01:11:23you probably think women like that kind of shit
01:11:25listen, um, save your money
01:11:28she wants to confess you
01:11:30she wants you to think about it and tell her why you're fucking up
01:11:33why?
01:11:35why?
01:11:36see, there's a difference between men and women, okay
01:11:39I don't need a why, okay
01:11:42why what, why did what
01:11:45I just ask you if I, I'm sorry
01:11:47I'm sorry
01:11:50I don't need a why, lady
01:11:52me and my wife are right there, we're like that
01:12:08hi
01:12:11I'm sorry, it's a bad thing again
01:12:13um, you asked me the question
01:12:15you said why
01:12:17that's the word you used
01:12:20um, 20 years ago
01:12:23in this room
01:12:24I said to my wife
01:12:25I said, I got you
01:12:27and she bought it
01:12:29look, why am I seeing her?
01:12:32of course you look in my eyes now
01:12:33and
01:12:35she knows I can't protect her
01:12:38can't see her
01:12:40can't help her
01:12:42and this whole night is
01:12:45my, uh
01:12:47attempt to try to make that right
01:12:53that's the
01:12:54answer to your question
01:12:56why
01:13:00don't be so vain
01:13:03the new look in her eyes
01:13:04the fear
01:13:07it's not that you can't protect her
01:13:10but that you may not want to
01:13:11I may not want to
01:13:15that's all I want to do
01:13:17is protect her
01:13:19make sure she's safe
01:13:22but I fall short sometimes
01:13:24and that's just how that is
01:13:28so again
01:13:28this whole night is a way
01:13:29of trying to make that better
01:13:30and
01:13:32if I didn't get this wrong
01:13:35I tell you
01:13:36I think I'd be

01:14:17I am
01:14:17Tanisha
01:14:18pleasure
01:14:19I'm Veronica
01:14:20this is Maymay
01:14:26so this is so exciting
01:14:28so first we're going to start off
01:14:30with a little exfoliating scrub
01:14:31a mini pedi
01:14:32a little tweezing
01:14:33maybe a quick set
01:14:34um
01:14:35oh you know what
01:14:35I almost forgot something
01:14:37Veronica! This is all very sweet. I don't know what Jess is doing.
01:14:41Oh, I do. If something is clean, I'm gonna make sure she rides.
01:14:51I love Terry's father more than I love myself. That was the problem.
01:14:55I remember Tony. 6'4". Handsome.
01:14:58And married. Don't forget married.
01:15:01Did it hurt?
01:15:03It would hurt.
01:15:04You know, the boob job.
01:15:08It's the worst pain imaginable.
01:15:10You can't sleep right. You're nauseous all the time.
01:15:14You can't take a shower.
01:15:16But it's totally worth it.
01:15:18I mean, look at these damn things.
01:15:20They're hypnotizing, right?
01:15:22Those damn things?
01:15:25Oh, Ling Ling.
01:15:28You're bad.
01:15:30But you're good.
01:15:34I envy you, Stacy.
01:15:36You must be kidding.
01:15:38I don't mean the whole war addiction accent thing.
01:15:43But that man of you really loves you.
01:15:45Hmm.
01:15:48He used to.
01:15:50Lately.
01:15:52I'm not so sure.
01:15:55Poor man probably just doesn't know what to do.
01:15:57I know he wants some.
01:15:59One man don't want some.
01:16:04Okay.
01:16:08But honestly, Stacy,
01:16:11I think the shit that you've been through would scare any man.
01:16:14You know?
01:16:16I mean, maybe he's just trying to be sensitive about, you know?
01:16:22Right, right.
01:16:22You know, he doesn't, he probably doesn't know whether he should seduce you,
01:16:26or hug you, or just kick your black ass to the curb.
01:16:30And you can't expect to figure it out on his own.
01:16:33I mean, he's a man for crying out loud.
01:16:35Hell yeah, he's just a man.
01:16:37He's confused.
01:16:38They always get so confused about simple shit.
01:16:41And he did complicate matters with Shirley.
01:16:43Oh, Shirley is real simple.
01:16:45Feed him, fuck him, send him home.
01:16:47And then, at home, all hell breaks loose.
01:16:50Hell yeah.
01:16:51He's had it.
01:16:52He's done with the whole war drama thing.
01:16:57I just think he's not feeling me anymore.
01:17:05Bullshit.
01:17:06Bullshit.
01:17:07I call bullshit.
01:17:08Let us simplify this so even a damn man can understand.
01:17:12He wants to hook up with you.
01:17:15You want to hook up with him, and nobody's hooking nothing up.
01:17:18Well, that shit is sad.
01:17:19No, it's ridiculous.
01:17:21But you've got to take the initiative.
01:17:23Go get your man.
01:17:24Yeah.
01:17:25Come on.
01:17:26Jump his bones.
01:17:27Go tackle.
01:17:28Go, go, go.
01:17:29Yes.
01:17:29All right, all right, all right.
01:17:30He's going down.
01:17:31Yes.
01:17:32I like that.
01:17:33That's what I'm talking about.
01:17:34Hell yeah.
01:17:35Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
01:17:37Take his ass down.
01:17:43Look at you.
01:17:46Start moving.
01:17:49If you're ready.
01:17:51I'm ready.
01:17:53Mm-hmm.
01:17:54Got something for you.
01:18:00For you.
01:18:02Come on.
01:18:04For me.
01:18:07Come on, Tom.
01:18:14Come on!
01:18:18I'm ready!
01:18:19You're ready.
01:18:19Yeah.
01:18:24You're ready.
01:18:25Good.
01:18:28You're ready.
01:18:29You're ready.
01:18:30I'm ready to join me.
01:18:36I don't want to lose you.
01:18:41Whatever.
01:19:05Oh, damn.
01:19:07You.
01:19:08Shh.
01:19:10Hey.
01:19:12Shh.
01:19:14I got you.
01:19:33There's a pain.
01:19:38There's a pain.
01:19:45You hold on to me and touch every hand I feel.
01:19:54And I pray to God when you walk away that I'll deserve your love someday.
01:20:16Lots of wrinkles in your place.
01:20:19Do you trust me thoroughly?
01:20:20Do you trust me?
01:20:30Yes, Dave.
01:20:31All right.
