I know that, but I don't wanna move on unless it's with you,

so no matter how long it takes,

I'll be here waiting for you.

Well, you know that's no problem.

Okay. And you know I would

Every good favor deserves another one, right?

I mean, I help you, you help me.

I have this cousin who just got licensed

and can't seem to find a job.

I was wondering maybe you could help.

Well, I'll help if I can.

Oh, yeah, you can help by giving the kid a chance

like I'm giving you.

How's that?

A job, maybe.

Oh, oh a job.

Just give the kid a chance.

The same chance I'm giving you and your friend.

All right, I guess so.

Nah, nah, nothing much.

You think you could come by here

All right.

(dramatic music)

Hey, baby. Hey.

So, how did it go today?

Nobody wants to hire an ex con.

Well, you just have to keep trying.

Something will come through for you.

Baby, I can't continue to sit around

No, you have to be patient.

Patience is one thing.

I'm going back to do what I know best.

And what's that, dealing drugs?

Conning people out of their money?

Stealing, is that what you wanna do

for the rest of your life?

Look, woman, you better stay out of my business.

I'mma do whatever it takes to survive.

When he was my manager, he convinced me

that it would help me with my modeling career.

Well, I never saw nude pictures of you.

Oh, you thought nude pictures

was gonna help your career, huh?

I was young and foolish.

I didn't know any better, okay?

Okay.

So what do you want me to do?

I don't know.

I just don't want Trent to find out.

It would ruin our marriage.

He doesn't know?

No.

Look, Trent loves you.

Okay.

And don't forget, be responsible.

All right. I got you.

Okay.

Okay, I understand, man,

I'm in a jam here. Blue, no.

But you do me a favor though.

Get me started.

Sponsorship?

Looking for your girl, Stacey.

We have some unfinished business to take care of.

Stacey has a family now, man.

Leave her alone.

Losing the touch, bro.

Well aren't the busy one?

What are you doing here?

I just stopped by to say hi.

Oh, how thing's going?

Well, got a job at the barber shop.

You did?

Congratulations. Thank you.

It's a really nice shop, too.

I'm the only woman working there,

but there's this really nice guy who works there.

He's cool, mm hmm.

Uh oh, you better watch out, girl.

It can be hard seeing somebody you work with.

I'm not in love with him or nothing.

Just checking each other out, you know?

Okay.

Well, how are you and Mr. Blue?

Girl, he's back to his same old tricks.

I think he's dealing again.

I knew it.

He's not going to do right.

He's just gonna keep bringing you down in the gutter.

I don't think he's gonna sell it himself,

I think he's gonna have somebody else do it for him.

I don't like it, Misha.

You need to leave him alone before it's too late.

Frankie, you worry too much.

Blue and I will be okay.

Okay, fine.

Misha, you ready for that meeting?

Yes, I'll be right there.

And Frankie?

I know, I gotta go, gotta go.

You remember how it was at the bank.

All right, so you a barber, man?

Yeah, I guess this cape kinda gave it away, huh?

You work over at TC's shop.

Yeah, TC, TC's my boss, yeah.

Okay, you know his old girl, Stacey?

Stacey?

Yeah, she come in and out the shop a lot.

Where she staying at?

I think it's a place called the sands.

Uh uh, come on baby.

We gotta go.

Oh, well, hey, maybe we could get together

and go out sometime?

Well, we got a lot of studying we gotta do

so I'll just holler at you later, girl.

All right.

Y'all be careful.

All right, girl, you too.

So, what's the deal with you and Stacey?

Oh, baby, that's a long story.

(dramatic music)

It was nice.

How long you been singing?

Since I was a little girl.

Oh, yeah?

Hello, stranger.

Blue.

It's been a long time.

Five years, to be exact.

No letters, no postcards, no pictures?

Speaking of pictures, I still got those great

body shots of you and I.

That was a long time ago.

I was young and naive.

I'm not the same person in those pictures.

Not the same person?

Well, I wonder if your husband would recognize you, huh?

What do you want?

To see if that businessman husband

of yours can raise about 25,000 dollars.

You keep my family out of this.

This is between you and me.

If I don't have that money by Friday

it will be a family matter.

Make it 35,000.

You bastard.

(dramatic music)

(sultry music)

Thank you.

What can I do?

This is guy is demanding 25,000 dollars.

There's not much you can do.

I mean, it's not like he's broken the law or anything.

Can we get a restraining order or something?

No, that wouldn't do any good

because he could still mail the pictures to your house, so.

Look, I have another set to do.

Look, I appreciate your help,

but this is my problem.

How's it going, Mr. Daniels?

What can I do for you?

Well, I'm not sure if your wife Stacey told you,

but several years ago, I used to be her manager,

that is before she became so well known.

Anyway, she and I agreed that if she made it big,

she would reimburse me for my time and money.

My wife Stacey.

Yeah, Miss Stacey Love.

She owes you money?

Mm hmm, 'bout 25 grand.

25,000?

Look, I don't know what kind of agreement

you had with my wife, but I know damn well

she don't owe you $25,000.

She and I agreed that if she didn't pay me the money,

that I would possibly jeopardize her career.

What?

Jeopardize her career how?

That's right, big shot.

Why don't you ask your sweet wife

about the pictures we took together.

Pictures, what pictures you got on my wife?

Yeah, brother.

You're right, he tried to get us.

Tried?

He did get us.

We don't have the right negatives,

we're out $25,000 and Blue is dead.

(doorbell buzzes)

Hey.

I guess you heard about Blue.

Yeah, I heard about that fool.

I told you he was gonna get his.

Justice been served.

Bobby, you didn't, did you?

Don't even matter.

That fool got what he deserved.

(phone rings)

Everybody and their mom's gonna be calling.

Hello.

Oh, hey, Janice.

Yeah, we'll be here.

That was the attorney Janice King.

She wants to talk to us.

Bet somebody saw me coming out of his apartment.

Man, I don't care if nobody saw me.

Everybody knew I wanted to whack his ass.

Bobby, shut up.

Shut up, I'm so sick and tired of

hearing your mouth. Calm down, baby.

It's gonna be all right.

Trent, you know I'm just scared.

What if the police think it's you?

Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.

Man, the police ain't worried about nobody like Blue.

Just another dead brother.

Bobby, cool it, man.

You see you're upsetting your sister.

Yeah, all right, sorry.

(doorbell buzzes)

That's probably Janice.

Hey, Janice, come on in.

- [Janice] I'm so glad you are home.

This is my husband Trent, you know him.

Good to see you again. And that's my brother,

Bobby. Nice to meet you.

Go ahead and have a seat.

So what's going on?

Well, you guys know that Blue was killed last night

and his girlfriend, Misha Campbell,

is being held for questioning.

She was there.

Come to find out, she identified the killer.

What?

Yeah.

I just came from the police station

and they arrested TC for the murder of Blue.

TC?

Why would they arrest TC?

Misha, she identified him as the one in the apartment.

TC, man.

That's my boy, damn.

Anyway, I went to go see TC and he asked me

to go over to the barbershop and get this.

He got back our money.

I'll be damned. Wow.

Oh, yeah, and he also asked me

to give you this envelope.

(dramatic music)

He got the real negatives.

(dramatic music)

Dear Stacey,

I'm sorry but I did what I had to do.

I didn't want Blue to bring any harm to you or Terrence.

As Terrence gets older, I hope he and you can forgive me

for this terrible thing that I had to do.

Please take care of my son.

I'm sure you and Trent will provide a good home for him.

I will always love both of you.

Love, TC.

You know I am so sorry about all this.

I just hope TC comes out okay.

And I'm gonna do all I can to make sure that happens.

(dramatic music)

We'll be in touch, okay?

(dramatic music)

Well, guess I'll be getting out of here.

(dramatic music)

- [Stacey] He didn't have to do anything.

He didn't have to do that.

It's all right, it's all right.

We would have been okay.

It's all right, baby, it's all right.

We would have been okay.

We would have been okay.

Been okay.
