Original subtitles

Why didn't you tell me?

Because I didn't want you to worry.

Oh, baby girl.

I've lived my life.

Dad,

nothing.

I would have killed him.

That's why I didn't tell you.

Protecting my only daughter is my job.

Dad, I'm handling it. How, Candace?

Hmm? How?

Where's Raymond?

She's with the mom.

Did he?

Did he put his hands on my grandbaby?

Where is he?

Dad. Dad, I have everything taken care of.

How, Candace?

How? Trust me. Trust you?

This man put his hands on you and my grandbaby, and you expect me to be calm

about it? Did you got a plan?

Yes, Dad.

Please, can you just calm down? I'm going to try.

But you're not making this easy for me, Dad.

Please just say no. Please.

If your mother was here.

I know, Dad.

I know.

But I'm gone.

And I got it taken care of. Oh, you got it taken care of?

Huh? You got all this taken care of?

So why are you telling me that?

Just in case. Just in case what? Things don't go as planned. Planned?

Yeah.

What are you talking about?

So what can you tell me? I don't know.

Can you tell me how you met this motherfucker?

We met about a year ago.

Oh, I got you.

Here you go.

You okay?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah. Carlton.

Carlton Moore.

Candace. Candace Berman.

Nice to meet you, Candace Berman.

Likewise.

Therapy? What?

You went therapy? Oh, yeah.

Today was my last day.

Okay.

How was it?

What? Did it work?

Therapy? Oh, um, I don't know.

It was a part of my divorce decree, so.

Divorce?

Yeah.

My ex convinced the judge that I was mentally unstable.

So in order to keep guardianship of my daughter, I had to go to therapy.

He must be dumb as hell.

What? Your ex. Oh.

He had to be crazy to let you go.

No, he just couldn't keep it in his pants.

Typical. The bad ones always end up with the good ones.

Look, I know this is a bit forward, but I would like to invite you to lunch

sometime.

If that's okay, if you're ready to get back out there on the market.

I don't know.

I don't know about that.

I get it.

But I promise you, it's really just to get to know you.

That's it.

Give me your number.

Carlton Moore, don't forget that.

Okay, Carlton Moore.

See you later.

It's Carlton Moore on Backpage, Black Planet, Instagram.

Find me anywhere.

It was nice meeting you.

See you later.

Hey, I'm here for my therapy session.

I just want to thank you for coming to see me today.

Well, it didn't seem like I had much of a choice. You have a choice.

But today I'm going to say you made the best choice.

You cocky and confident, huh? I mean, you know, not really.

Oh, yeah, yeah, okay, okay, cool.

Will you tell me a little bit about yourself?

Ooh, that dreaded question.

Okay. No pressure.

No pressure. You already told me that you're going through a divorce, so I

that must be kind of tough.

Yeah. I mean, not really.

You know, I'm just ready to get back to myself and, you know, find out the

things that I like.

And you said you had a child too, right? I do.

I have a daughter.

Her name is Raven.

That's my baby.

You know, and...

He tried to take her away from me, but I wouldn't give him that exception.

Well, good for you.

It's good to stand up for yourself because nowadays, these dudes will try

take advantage of you and walk all over you.

And you're saying it like you're not one of them. I'm not.

Look, I'm telling you, I'm cut from a different cloth. Well, tell me something

about you.

I'm single. Okay. You know what I'm saying?

No kids.

But do you want kids?

Of course I do.

I love kids, actually. And kids tend to...

You know, they tend to take to me very well.

Well, that's good to know.

Hey,

how you doing?

Thank you.

Oh, God.

What happened?

What's wrong?

I left my wallet.

Oh, that's okay.

Don't worry about it.

I feel like such an idiot.

It happens to the rest of us.

You know what? That means I owe you another date.

That's what that means. That means I owe you another date.

Mm -hmm.

Yep. Well, we're going to see if we can make that happen.

Are you two all set? Mm -hmm.

You can keep the change.

Oh, that's okay, right?

Yeah. It's cool.

She was nice.

Thank you.

So I chose me Can't nobody do you like me

So I chose me And in the end

This is really nice.

I made it for you.

Thank you.

You like it? I do.

So what you got planned for the rest of the night?

Probably just go hang out with the homies.

You know, it's one of my best friend's birthday, so yeah.

Sounds fun.

Thank you. Thank you.

It's not going to be going too much, though.

Yeah. But first, like I said, I had to spend some time with you. Yeah. That's

more important to me. I appreciate it. I do.

You know, I appreciate everything you've been doing.

You know, the ice cream, the late night.

Look, I like to spoil the woman I'm with.

So get used to it.

You know?

Yeah.

Let me guess.

You ain't got no wallet.

Don't trip. You know what? Let me see if I can take Apple Pay.

Hey, y 'all fix?

Yeah, um, do y 'all accept Apple Pay?

I feel sorry if you don't.

Don't? Anything happen to get his damn wallet? How about that?

Thank you so much.

I'm sorry.

You good?

Thank you for welcoming me to my car, Carlson. No problem.

Hey, I'm sorry about what happened in there.

This is the third time it's happened.

Like... I guess I'm just out of practice, you know? What do you mean,

practice?

Look, that's a conversation for a whole other day.

Just... Where your car?

I've been driving for a month. I'm just gonna catch an Uber.

And why is that?

Just me and the fellas. Gonna be hanging out, you know what I mean? I'm gonna be

drinking and driving, stuff like that.

Do you need a ride home?

Nah, I'm just gonna head to my boy's house. I'm good.

That should be straight.

Without your wallet.

Bye, Carlton.

Have a good day.

Damn right we need to talk.

What the hell do you think this is?

Hey, Ronnie.

Look,

girl, don't come over here jumping on my bed like that.

But you said I'll always be your baby.

You know you always my baby.

Okay, Mom, that's enough.

Goodness. Yeah, yeah.

And shouldn't you be getting ready for school while you're propping up in my

bed? And shouldn't you be getting ready for work?

Oh, look, girl, you better go now before you get in trouble.

Does that smart little mouth of yours? Okay.

I should be getting ready.

She tell me She tell

me

It's so important that you needed to talk to me today.

Well, I just felt bad after our last date and I could tell you was upset.

Me upset?

No.

The way you drove off said otherwise.

No, I was just letting you get to your nighttime activities.

I know you think I'm full of shit.

I don't think you full of shit. I think you irresponsible with your wallet.

Can I tell you something?

Without you judging me?

I'm not the type to judge.

What's up?

I just got out of prison.

Okay. The charges was all false.

How long was you in for?

Ten years.

Ten years.

And what'd you go for?

Well, I was accused of manslaughter. No, manslaughter. And I ain't do it.

I didn't do it.

So why'd you have to do the time?

Because I wouldn't snitch.

I just took the fall.

You want to say anything?

Honestly, I'm at a loss for words right now because yeah.

I understand. Listen, just please don't judge me for my past. That's all I ask.

I'm working on myself.

I am not that person.

You know, I need some time, Carlton. I have a daughter.

And I need to be careful of, like, who I'm bringing her around.

You know, I got to look out for her first.

Look, I understand.

Look, just give me a chance to prove to you who I really am.

prison.

I know.

Girl, let that go.

You don't need that type of drama around my guy, baby.

But he was sincere.

Girl.

You had to be there.

You could see in his eyes that it took a lot for him to tell me that. And I

don't want to do him like that.

Everybody deserve a second chance.

No.

You just like them project men. Project men. Yes.

They should call your ass cap to save them all.

This man has shown you who he is.

I want to be there for him. You don't got nobody else in his corner?

Okay.

You grown and I'm going to give you your space.

But I will say this. Be careful.

You're right.

I'll back off.

I would if I were you.

Not the beef stew.

Hello?

Hey, you ghosting me now?

Oh, no.

What you mean?

You're not really answering my calls, and when I text you, your answers are

short. What's up with that? I just needed some time. Time for what?

You know, time to digest what you told me.

Okay, look, I already told you that most of those charges was false, and just

don't convict me for something that I already did time for, please.

Yeah, I'm sure you're getting enough of that right now.

Right.

That's all I'm saying. Just give me a chance to prove it to you.

Let's talk from a distance for a little bit and then, you know, and see where

things go from there.

Okay, I'll take that.

Okay, well, I guess I'll talk to you later.

You have a nice, beautiful home, let's say.

Thank you. I want to do something nice for my baby after the divorce, you know?

I bet your ex is kicking himself in the ass right now.

Why do you say that?

I mean, look at this. You got that nice flat screen, nice open space.

It just seems like you're doing better without it.

I guess.

Hey, baby.

Hey, Mom.

Reagan, this is Carson.

Hey, nice to meet you.

Thanks. Mr.

Carlson.

How was school?

It was good. I got a test in AP English.

Yes, ma 'am. It was nice meeting you, Carlson.

You know where she get it from.

Okay, Marvin, come on in.

Where's Raven?

She's in her room, but I wasn't expecting you today.

Yeah, well, I told her I would come and get her for the weekend.

But you don't think you need to run that by me first?

No, because it's technically my weekend to get her anyway.

Hey,

Daddy!

How are you doing? Good. How are you? I'm good. You ready? Yes. Okay. Ready

what?

Carlton, this is Marlon. This is Raven's father.

Oh, your cousin.

Hey, what's going on?

Cool. Raven, go get your stuff. Here you go.

You didn't tell me this nigga was coming over here. Yeah, because it slipped my

mind. Wait, hold on. Like, is everything cool here? Because I'm just now meeting

you and you already questioned me about when I could come and get my child.

Listen here, homeboy.

I'm the man of this house.

And I'm the only nigga slinging wood up in this motherfucker.

And I need to know what another nigga is trying to come up in here.

Alright, daddy.

I'm ready.

See you later, mommy. Have a good weekend.

Yeah, we don't talk about this. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it, homeboy.

Carlton, what the?

What the fuck was that, Carlton? You tell me.

That is my daughter's father. And let me tell you something.

He can come in my house and get his daughter whenever he wants to. I don't

a fuck who that is.

Ain't nobody coming up in here without you getting my permission first.

Excuse me?

You need to know what's going on with our daughter, too. Our daughter?

You know what?

I may have overstepped my boundaries, and I apologize.

You think?

You forgive me?

No, you did overstep your boundaries. And you know what?

I don't need him trying to come back in here and take my daughter again.

Baby, you're going to do that. And how do you know that, Carlton? I'm going to

make sure of it. What's that supposed to mean?

That means I'm going to be on my best behavior.

Thank you.

Thank me later.

I really couldn't just believe how he flexed on him.

Yeah, girl, that ain't cool at all.

I'm glad you stood up and said something. I know.

Where is he now?

Girl, off on one of his little adventures.

You know how far you and Marvin have come.

Don't let nobody come in between that and ruin it.

No, I'm not trying to.

Candace, I feel like this dude is bad news.

You really need to let him go.

I'm trying to, but I feel like he's been through a lot. I'm just trying not to

judge him, you know?

See, the problem is, honey, you took this man on as a project, and he is not

your assignment.

That's why you're so tired.

Assignment. Yes.

You are dealing with somebody who is broken, and in the process, he is going

break you.

Mark my words, sis.

He has nothing to lose, and a man who has nothing to lose will make you lose

everything.

Hey Who's coming up in this motherfucker, where's my mom she had a

the stop You won't be okay until she get back. Yeah, I'm gonna just go Okay,

she'll be all right, bro. Why wouldn't she brother? No, the question was for my

daughter

I love you. Love you too, daddy. I'll see you later. Okay.

Hey, bro.

What's up?

I don't know what Cam told you about us, but I'm a new man, all right?

And I'm going to give you this thing.

All right, listen, bro.

I don't know you. I don't care to get to know you. My main concern is my

daughter. That's it.

Well, your daughter is my daughter when you're not around.

Listen, bro, you were fucking temporary.

All right? That is my daughter, and that is my ex -wife. So I'm always going to

be around whether you like it or not.

All right? You are literally just a fucking means of pastime.

So do not get comfortable, my nigga.

Do not get comfortable.

I'm out.

Hey, baby.

You know, can you get the rest of the bags off the car?

So this is what we're doing now?

What are you talking about, brother?

You got a nigga come over here to disrespect me?

What?

What are you talking about? This nigga Marvin just came over here to drop your

daughter off. I know. She called me. And he disrespected me.

How?

Listen.

You better keep this nigga in check or I will.

Okay?

Look, I told you I ain't going back and forth with you about this. I did.

That's her father.

Ever? He want to come over here and get his daughter?

He can come. Fuck that.

She is about to change around here, okay?

Carson, this is my house.

Why don't you just leave?

I ain't going nowhere. This is my house.

This is not your house.

You are a visitor here, and you have outworn your welcome.

What'd you say to me, little girl? You heard me.

One thing you ain't going to do is intimidate my daughter. Get your

motherfucking ass up out of here.

I ain't going nowhere. This is my house. And what you can do is get your ass in

this kitchen and fix me something to eat.

Take your ass up to the room.

And you, get all your shit and get the fuck out.

Get to stepping.

Yeah, go somewhere else. Find someone else. Bye.

Shut up.

Tetsu.

You was right.

You was right. What happened?

I asked this man to leave.

He won't leave.

He said he ain't going no fucking where.

Girl, I need to get out of this situation.

Candace, are you serious?

Yes, and I don't know what to do.

You call the fucking police, that's what you do. And tell them what?

This man got mail at my house.

So legally, he got rights.

Girl, fuck them rights. I don't want that man to go back to jail over this.

I just need to figure out an escape plan.

What about that fine police officer?

I know you got his number still saved in your phone.

You better use it.

He was fine, huh?

Girl, real fine.

Hey. Come on in.

Thank you.

Yeah, right this way.

I wasn't sure if, you know, texting you out of the blue like that, if that was a

good idea, but I'm glad I did.

I'm glad you did, too.

I hope I didn't come off too thirsty or anything.

No, I don't think you're thirsty at all.

Perfect. Well, speaking of, can I grab you anything to drink?

Water is fine.

All right.

There you go.

Thank you. You're welcome.

You know I normally don't do stuff like this.

Like what?

You know, come to a guy's house on the first text.

Don't worry, I don't judge.

Good.

But you definitely call me at a time where I could use to change the scenery.

Thank you. Wow.

Well, I'm glad I could be of some assistance to you.

Yeah.

So did y 'all catch that peep in time?

Oh, no.

No, but we have some leads.

Good. Y 'all need to find him because I did tell Simone to get her CCW.

Wait. No.

down, back and forth to the bathroom all day.

Vomiting or going number two?

Throwing up.

Some ginger ale and some crackers because I feel horrible.

You know what? I'll do you one better.

convicted felon.

You just got to keep going.

I'm going to figure out a way to make some money.

Yeah.

I need to talk to you about something.

No, for real.

Oh, shit. You got COVID.

Why you ain't tell me you had COVID?

Carlton, I ain't got COVID.

But what's the plan?

Look, I don't want to talk too much over the phone, so I'll just be through that

You know I got you. Say less.

What's wrong? Is everything okay with Raven?

Your bitch ass baby daddy came over here and disrespected me again.

How Carlton?

I told you that I'm not going to be tolerating no fucking disrespect up in

house. In your house? Wait a minute.

Did we not have a conversation that this is me and Raven's house and that's it?

All of that went out the window once you got knocked up.

Listen to me.

This my house.

I'm your man.

And that baby you carrying is mine. So everything else is expendable.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean, Carlton? Tell your baby daddy he better

respect me next time he come over here. Ain't you a man?

You tell him.

Oh, that's what we doing?

Yeah, that's what we doing. And you know what? You stressing me the fuck out and

I'm Fantasia tired.

Damn.

Made me think something wrong with my baby.

This is she.

What?

Okay.

Okay. He's about to have surgery.

Okay. I'm on my way.

Hey. It's Ryan. How you going? Marvin just got attacked.

He's in a hospital. He's hurt.

Marvin. What that got to do with you?

Carlton, don't fucking start right now. Why you always got to run to this

nigga's house? First of all, I'm about to go in there and tell my daughter that

her dad has been attacked and robbed and is about to have surgery in the

hospital. You think when I tell her she's going to want to stay here with

No, she's going to want to go see her dad and I'm going to take her.

Don't start with me. That's some bullshit. Don't start with me. That is

bullshit.

I was running to this nigga.

So you think that Carlton Has nothing to do with Marvin's attack?

You know, I can't prove it, Dad, but... Oh, baby girl, why are you still

with this fool? I'm not.

Where is he?

Dad, I told you I was handling it. Oh, you're handling it?

From what I'm hearing, he's still terrorizing your house, including my

granddaughter. Dad!

No! No, baby girl!

No!

I am your father.

And how do you think I can sit here and listen to all this shit he's been

putting you through?

That motherfucker deserves to be put in the ground!

Oh, please don't tell me.

Dad,

it is not even what you think.

Oh, it's not what I think? No.

Then tell me what you think I think. Dad, just calm down. Oh, I am calm.

Do Raven know?

Hey,

nigga, you better duck the fuck back.

That little bitch attacked me.

I don't give a fuck!

That don't get you a right to hit my daughter.

Huh? You need to tell her that little motherfucker stopped running up on me.

You hurt my dad.

I ain't do shit to your daddy. You hurt me.

I ain't do... What the fuck is she talking about? You need to talk to her

fucking calm down. If you step one foot closer to me, I'll fucking cut your ass.

Are you serious?

Yes, I'm serious.

You serious right now? You can't possibly believe that I had something

I ain't hear a shit to do with that. I don't know what to believe, but don't

ever put your motherfucking hand on my dick.

Listen.

I'm sorry.

I just was coming from outside. I walked in here and she attacked me, baby.

I would never put my hands on her. And that justifies what you just fucking

Put that down.

Tell me what to do, Crossy.

You are hurt.

You need to smile or something.

Carlton. Yes, we are.

Now, please, make me some coffee, some breakfast, or something.

Hey.

I said hey.

What are you doing?

We need to have a talk.

No, we don't. Now get out of my room.

You need to start showing me more respect.

Why?

Because I'm your father, that's why.

And you need to act like it.

My father?

You ain't my daddy.

Listen here.

I'm the man in this house.

And I'm with your mother.

That makes you my daughter.

Okay?

And you're going to respect me whether you like it or not.

Yeah. Over my dead body.

Candace, what have you gotten yourself into?

I'm trying to get us out of it, but it's complicated.

It's complicated.

Listen, I hope you know that you put us all in danger.

And the only reason why I haven't retaliated is because my daughter needs

But I'm telling you right now, if he touches her, I'm coming for him. I'm not

going to let that happen. You know, I'm not going to let that happen.

You know, it's good he called you, though.

out of this.

What happened to the place you were staying at?

That shit wasn't working out.

But we never had a conversation about you moving in here.

And yet I am here.

It's not working, Carlton. You gotta leave.

And go where?

I don't know. Just not here.

I'm not going nowhere.

You my woman and this is my new family.

Listen, Carlton, we can still be friends, okay?

But my daughter is not comfortable with you being here, and she comes first.

She won't come around.

Carlton, I'm serious.

I'm trying to be nice, but you need to get out of my house, Carlton.

Get out of my house.

What do you mean?

What the fuck's wrong with you?

And I said I ain't going no farther.

You called him, he was laying in my bed with me, and I answered the phone.

Perfect. You know what?

What's he doing?

What's he doing?

What the fuck is he doing?

Hey, you bitch!

You want to come to my motherfucking house? Candace, if you hear her, it's

to be a federal fit.

You motherfucking bitch.

Candy, what are you doing?

Bitch. You know if you hit her, it's going to be a federal offense, right?

I need some money. For what?

I said I need some fucking money.

I'm gonna get my check until tomorrow, Carlton. Like, come on.

Nothing. Hold on.

Carlton, it's... Candace, what the fuck is this? It's nothing.

Nothing that you lost a baby?

You lost my fucking baby?

You lost my fucking baby? Get off of her!

You little bitch.

I have no idea who the fuck you fucking with, do you, bitch?

I don't give a fuck who you are.

You're ungrateful.

I promise you I'll kill you.

It's a promise.

Get out, Carlton, right now.

Get out!

Get away from us.

All right.

Motherfucker. Get out!

I'm sorry, baby.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Where is he?

Dad, I'm going to handle it. Oh, you're going to handle it?

From what I'm hearing, he's still terrorizing your household.

Now tell me where the fuck he is now.

I'm sweating blood if I see this nigga in the streets.

Dad, why don't you calm down? I can't.

He's been terrorizing you for the last almost a year, and I'm just hearing

this for the first time? How do you think that's supposed to make me feel,

Candace? I know, Dad.

Then why tell me?

Why tell me?

Just in case, Dad. It takes water!

Just in case you need to hear my story.

I love you, Dad.

I love you too, baby girl.

Where? Where are you going?

Can you come outside?

Okay.

Hey, girl, what's going on? Hey, can you do me a favor?

Sure.

Hey, baby, can you go outside so I can talk to your auntie?

What's going on?

Can you watch Raven for a few days?

Of course.

What's going on?

I'm going to kill Carlton.

What?

It's either him or me.

Candace, you don't need to do that.

I can't keep living like this.

Something's got to happen.

Call the police?

They're not going to do that.

You don't know that.

And Candace, if you do this, there's no coming back from that.

Can you take care of Raven for me? That's what I'm asking.

What's this?

It's a few thousand dollars in there for a bail bondsman in case something

happens.

And if you need some more, I'm going to text you my banking information, okay?

And the pin code is Raven's birthday.

Girl, I got to go. Can you just make sure Raven's good?

You know I will, but Candace... I have to go.

Candace!

Why didn't you tell me this man was putting his hands on you?

I'm handling it.

But if this man is who you say he is, there's...

There's no easy way to handle this.

I didn't have nobody to turn to.

I don't want to get my dad involved because I know that he would kill him.

And probably not.

You have to start a paper trail again.

What do you mean?

Go down to the court.

Let them know that you're afraid for your life.

If I go to the police, he's going to kill me.

That's the purpose of the protection order, okay?

Anytime if he makes a peep, you call the police.

They need to know that this is an ongoing situation with you.

Put my daughter and me in harm's way.

Listen, you're already in harm's way, okay?

I deal with this every single day and it never ends well.

Get a buddy of mine's car, right? He'll help this process along faster for you.

Okay.

Finally, I found it.

Late night in the club Sippin' on that drink Didn't know what else to think

You can't get no reply Ain't that easy on that side Didn't

forget what you decided It was one -sided for too long You did

me wrong, so wrong, so wrong And I don't know what to do Choose me

or choose us two

How come I be screwed?

So I chose me.

Can't nobody do you like me.

Did you call your daddy and let him know that you were supposed to be here?

Yeah, I talked to him. He's out of town now.

Do you know when he's supposed to be back?

About a week or so.

I'll be glad when he finally does, so I can get out of that house and go back to

my dad's.

Why do you like staying at your dad's more?

Because of Carlton.

He scares me.

Has he touched you?

Touched me?

Yeah. Has he tried something with you?

Oh, no, no. Not in a sexual way, no.

Okay, good.

What did he do?

He's, uh, he's choked me a couple of times and smacked me around.

What?

Your mama didn't tell me that. She dumps in to defend me, but he just fights

her, too.

It makes sense now.

What makes sense?

Her plan.

Auntie, what are you talking about?

Nothing, baby.

Nothing.

What's going on with my mom?

Nothing, baby.

Just in case of what?

Fix your plate, honey.

I need to go take something for this migraine.

Well, Auntie, I'm sorry I didn't mean to give you a headache.
