(falling rocks)

- Hey, Carson.

- [Carson] Hey.

- Perfect timing.

Can I borrow you for a second?

- Borrow me for what?

- I'm trying to work out this guard sweep

and I can't do it without another body.

- Oh, hold on now, is that, is this one of

those M-M-A things because if so,

my jaw is advising against it.

- Come on, I can't do it by myself.

I promise I won't hurt you.

- Again.

- Can you please just get down here?

- What do I do?

- Okay, all you have to do is get on my guard.

- No, no, no, no, I'm not getting in there.

- It's absolutely nothing sexual about this okay.

This is the most basic position in Brazilian jiu jitsu.

- It's also the most basic position in porn.

- Can you please stop playing and get down here please?

- Alright, alright fine.

- Like this? - Yes.

- Alright. - Okay, it looks like I'm at a

disadvantage, but I'm not.

Whoo!

That was good.

- Alright, how did you do that?

- Oh, applied leverage.

- Hmm, great, are we done?

- What is the problem?

- Well, being dominated by a woman isn't exactly my thing.

- Oh yeah, it's not?

Because there's definitely one part of you

who seems to think otherwise.

- Can you let me up please?

- What is your deal, man?

You know really seem to have a lot of control issues.

- Oh and you don't?

(soft piano music)

- What?

- And you do realize that we just like totally

half assed this exercise right?

- (chuckles) Well, they said have a meal together.

- No, they said prepare a meal together.

That's what they said.

- Well, you picked the cuisine.

I called it in.

They delivered it to us, so technically this is a meal.

- Really, really? - Yes, I mean what?

- You gonna play me like that since that's what this is?

Mean after we just had this long conversation.

We just talked about making the most of this experience.

- Okay, you know what? - Hmmm?

- Fine, you're right.

How would you like to make it better, what should we do?

- I don't know, I mean we have to try harder, do better.

Sit down, be humble. (laughing)

- I know.

Why don't you tell me something

you don't really want me to know.

(sighs)

- You don't want to know everything about me.

Trust me, it's best for all parties involved

if we just keep me in present tense.

- You sound like Dallas.

He's so closed off from me

and to a certain degree I get it.

He wants to leave his job at the job,

but it's literally killing him and I just wanna help.

- I figured it out.

- Figured what out?

- You nosy.

- What?

- That's what it is, you are all up in the video.

- Stop with your nonsense.

- You all on the Facebook and all up in the Instagram.

- Really, okay, you're doing a lot.

- All on the Twitter. (laughing)

Since Drea, I bust my ass everyday to live my past down.

Nowhere, ain't no way in the world I should be where I am

and I ain't lookin' back for nobody.

Ain't nuthin' there for me or anybody else.

- You know what, Connor?

You think I don't understand but I do.

- Alright then,

you go first then.

- Me? - Yeah.

- Why I gotta go first?

- 'Cause, ladies first.

I'm a gentleman.

- Okay, you know what, fine.

But we gonna bungee jump, if I go you gotta go.

- Like I said, "you first."

My lady.

- I don't know what to say.

- You're idea.

Now you don't know what to say.

- I...

I had a ugly habit.

Used to let one of my regulars beat me up.

He got off on it.

Paid me in coke.

Oh, he tuned me up pretty good.

I can't have children now because of him.

Sometimes I wonder if Dallas and I could have a family of,

maybe we'd be okay.

I don't know.

- Yeah, well, don't trip potato chip.

I ain't tryin' be no captain save a ho,

or nothin' like that, so you ain't got to worry about it.

Hey, yo sister Wright.

- [Sawyer] Well damn,

I guess it's five o'clock somewhere right?

- You need to quit.

- No mind me, get your drink on baby.

Turn up.

- Boy, I don't have time for your foolishness.

- You know your eyes squint a little bit

when you're seriously trying to make a point?

I actually like it.

- You and I both know I am not your type.

- Oh, so now you're speaking for me now too?

Okay, Lady Confucius, what's my type then?

I'm waiting.

- Oh I'm just surprised that you even know who Confucius is.

- Wow, Maggie don't try to act like you

the only one whose ever cracked open a book.

- Book, you, please.

Maybe a fortune cookie.

- Wow, I can honestly see that you're

tryin' to piss me off, but you can't touch me.

I'm cool, so Imma let you be.

Continue to wallow in your self pity

and whatever you was doin'.

- Physical perfection.

That's your type.

- Yeah, well my fabulous taste in women

should make my compliment to you

that much more significant then right?

Wait, was that a smile?

It was, you smilin'?

- Yes, Sawyer, that was a smile and in your testosterone

filled world that's a green light, but I'm not that simple.

You can't just sweep me off my feet with

your looks and your lines, okay?

- Come on, you can let it out.

You ain't gotta hide it.

I see you smilin'

- Okay, wait, wait, wait, you don't want none of this.

Wait, wait, I don't wanna hurt you now.

You don't wanna piece of this.

- Piece, oh no baby,

I want the whole enchilada baby.

Come on.

- You not ready.

- Looks like you not ready.

- Look, this might be an experiment,

but this is not a game, okay.

- Listen,

when I was an amateur fighter coming up,

I fought this kid in Orlando.

He was a Cuban boy.

You know they breed fantastic fighters down there.

And it was the last round in the fight

and I gotta admit, I was intimidated.

You know, I could see all his punches coming.

I could see my openness,

but I just didn't throw anything,

all I could do is cover up.

Before I knew it the round ended.

I lost that fight,

it's the first and last fight I ever lost.

You best believe I engaged myself six months later,

but the point of the story is my trainer, Sonny,

he wasn't even pissed at me like I thought he would be.

You know, all he did was lead me out of the ring,

walk me down a tunnel, and then he got in my ear

and whispered, "S, just gotta trust yourself.

"Let your hands go."

Alright.

M, sometimes you just gotta trust yourself.

Just let your hands go.

Alright.

- Good morning, Poochkins.

- Really?

- A little too much?

- Just a little bit, yeah.

- Oh, yes I guess Pooh Bear's outta the question?

- Hell yeah.

- (Laughing) My bad, come here.

- I'm all sweaty.

- It's okay.

You're my husband remember?

It's just sweat.

Now, what can I get you?

- You don't have to keep doing everything for me okay?

I appreciate it though.

- Dallas it's no big deal.

- Well, I'm just saying it's a bit much, that's all.

- Wow, I don't think I've ever had anybody

tell me that I was crowding them.

- Look I'm not tryin' to make history here,

I'm just tryin' to be respectful.

- Are we gonna spend this whole time here being respectful?

- Yes, that's the point right?

We gotta be smart, it could be worse.

- I'd rather be real.

- With all do respect.

- Oh, that word again.

- Oh you're not being very real,

you're basically playing house like child.

- Oh, but a cute child, right?

- Stop, see this is what I mean.

This is not a kids game.

Alright, we're strangers and I'm your husband.

Look, I have a wife and you ain't her.

- That was real.

So do you just dish it out or can you take it?

- Take your best shot.

- You forgot how to live,

how to love and be loved is foreign to you.

You only live inside yourself and, hmm,

it's lonely if you don't mind me saying.

And just a little too difficult

for anybody else to live in there with you.

So there is no wonder why you came lookin' for me.

Be ready tonight, eight o'clock sharp.

(mysterious piano music)

(phone buzzing)

- I know I'm a handful, okay.

I'm very strong willed.

Probably a little bit too confrontational.

And very competitive.

You know, I'm a fighter though.

So I like to be in control, you know.

Growing up, a lot of people used to think that I was gay.

Probably because I used to play football

with the guys and wrestle with them.

And I beat them too.

And that's pretty much how I got into jiu jitsu.

My mom stopped tryin' to make me all girlie

and enrolled me in a class.

You know it's pretty funny now that

I'm a professional fighter, I'm a little bit more girlie.

Really, I'm both, but it's a good thing you know?

'Cause sex sells.

But in real life honestly...

feel like I need a strong man,

but more mentally than physically.

And he's gotta have a very gentle hand.

You know, soft touch.

Unless it's not guys that I'm into.

I've never said that out loud before this, yeah, mmm-mm.

- Wait, what you say?

- Unless it's not guys that I'm into.

I've never said that out loud before this.

- Sincere, can I talk to you for a second please?

If you don't want to talk, it's okay.

I'll talk, if you'll please just listen.

I'm not what I appear to be.

In fact I don't know what or who I am anymore.

I mean I'm working so hard tryin' to be dis

big time Wall Street tycoon and that's not who I am

and I live in fear.

Fear that I'll be found out, exposed.

I'll back slide into the only life I know

and I'll die there.

I lashed out at you and you don't deserve that.

You didn't deserve it at all and I'm sorry.

(classical music)

(phone ringing)

- Yo, yo mico check one, mico check two, mic check three.

(laughing) Can ya'll hear me?

Yo, I'm a boxer.

Obviously, boxing is my life.

I got a huge fight coming up.

It's probably the biggest fight of my career, actually,

but I could walk away from it all tomorrow if I had to.

I just don't like it as much as I used to.

It's not my passion.

I just been doing it for so long, you know,

that's all I know, it is what it is.

Ya'll wanna know what my real passion is?

Writing,

yeah.

When I write in my notebook, that's my escape.

I wanna be a writer.

I'll be a damn good writer too.

You know, I'd attack it just like I do boxing.

I be all in.

Yeah, ya'll probably think I'm crazy though.

I'm just sayin', I know that I'm more than just this.

- [Carson] Hey, do you mind passing me the lemon pepper?

- [Caroline] Yeah, you got it.

- [Carson] Thank you.

- [Caroline] Let me know when you're ready for the veggies.

- [Carson] Alright.

- You know I'm kind of glad the overseers

gave us this project, it's kind of fun.

- Yeah, sorta helps make up for the other night.

I think I owe you.

- Oh please, you do not owe me anything, okay.

But what I do know is that we make a good team.

- You know I kind of admire your degree of discipline.

You know, with your art, I got a lot of respect for that.

- And my effort is actually one thing that I can control.

Over the years I've been told I'm not marketable enough.

I'm not pretty enough.

I'm not white enough,

I'm not good enough, whatever.

But they can't tell me how hard I can work.

So I just make sure that nobody outworks me.

- Structure and discipline.

- Hard work and dedication baby.

- Yep, and that is the daily stuff no one

wants to do that needs focused attention everyday.

- Exactly, man, it's all about the little things

that lead to the big successes.

- Yep, yep. - Consistently.

- That's right, that's what I'm talkin' about.

- (laughs) See, you getting me all hyped up now.

- You gettin' me hyped up.

Yeah, you get it, we here.

- We right here.

- Gosh, me and Sawyer, we just,

are always in such competition.

- Yeah, but you know, you guys are both athletes,

so I get it.

- Yeah but it sucks

because I'm so much further along than he is.

- So, are you attracted to him?

- Where did that come from?

- Well, you know, no matter how mad I get with Maggie,

I'm always attracted to her.

So I was just wondering if it was a man thing.

- No, attraction is not just a man thing.

- So, you're still attracted to him then?

- [Caroline] Of course.

- Only him?

- Are you trying to ask me if I'm attracted to you?

- Uh, maybe, or maybe I'm just thinkin' that, you know,

there might be someone else that's better for you.

- Isn't that why we're here, to kind of figure that out?

- It is, but you know I was just thinkin' if

there was something else you were ready to share.

- How much are you ready to share?

- I'm an open book.

- Uh-huh, famous last words I tell you.

- Alright, this is me changing the subject.

Watch how I do it.

So you're further along than he is.

- You're stupid, you know that?

- Do I get an answer?

- That was an actual question?

I thought it was just a diversion.

Yeah, you know, more name recognition, more endorsements.

- So the competition means that you don't submit to him?

- Submit?

- Hey, it was just a question.

- So If I were your wife, you would need me to submit?

- I'd insist on it.

- And if I refused?

- I'd persuade you.

- You do know that I'm paid to make

people submit in a cage right?

- Yeah, but this ain't a cage.

- Boy, me submissive?

You would have to tie me up. (laughing)

- I admit, I was a little indifferent when you said pizza.

- It's good though, right?

- Mmm-hmm, yeah, I'm diggin' it.

- See, I appreciate that.

My wife, she be trippin' man.

You know she fights with me about everything.

Your husband be stressin' you out too?

- Oh my God, yes.

- I really think that's why they put us together.

- You think?

- Yeah, that's what we share in common.

Think about it.

- That's not all, owning a business with each other.

I mean with our spouses.

- You right, I ain't even think about that.

- We actually have quite a bit in common.

Here's to us, all simpatico and shit. (laughing)

- Okay, since we all in the happy place, you know,

rainbows and unicorn farts and shit.

- Unicorn farts, really?

- You don't know about unicorn farts?

They smell like caramel.

You gettin' distracted, I'll tell you about that later.

Are we good?

- Can we be real in this happy place?

- What's realer than unicorns?

- Okay, so...

What did you and your wife...

- Caroline.

- Caroline, what did you and Caroline

decide before you came here?

- As in what, what do you mean, like boundaries?

- [Maggie] Yeah.

- We decided that either of us would not

engage physically with our new spouses.

- Whoa, and you came at me from day one.

- No, no, it wasn't like that, explanation time.

Look,

I love my wife, or me and my wife love each other.

I just don't think that we like each other that much.

You know, but I like you.

I like you a lot and I know you like me because I can tell.

Seriously.

I just don't want no regrets while I'm here.

So I'm playin' this game full out.

Whatever that means.

And I'm playin' with my heart because I owe that to myself.

And I didn't know that before I came here

and I didn't know that before I met you.

Caroline, whoever her spouse maybe,

she may be feeling the same way.

I wanted her to play the game full out too

and then after that we'll be able to see where we at.

- Is that really the truth Sawyer?

Or are you just horny?

- (laughing) Yeah, horny, I'm definitely horny,

but that is also definitely the truth.

Plus I don't really need you for the horny part.

- What, oh so you gonna cheat on both of us, huh?

- Nah, I can have amazing sex by my damn self.

- [Maggie] You so stupid.

- Sawyer gotta have it baby, look at me.

- Okay. - Yeah?

- Okay. - Yeah?

- Sex is not the way we're gonna play this game full out.

Truth is, wait, what do you call it when boxers

are cautious in the first round?

- The feeling out process.

- Okay, my truth then is,

that's me.

I originally thought,

"Why did they put me with this young boy?

"I mean he's handsome, but I can't learn anything from him".

I was wrong, in many ways,

you are exactly what I need right now.

You have...

a light-hearted positive outlook on everything.

I mean you lookin' so far down that road,

you don't let the day by day stress you out.

You make me feel wanted.

And...

I really need that right now.

- So you don't think that we share that in common?

- Yeah, yeah, but let me, let me finish.

You also unnerve me by the way you look at me.

Sometimes I see you, you don't even know I'm watching.

You are as close to physical perfection

than anyone needs to be and I'm not.

But, you make me feel so beautiful,

desirable and a little uncomfortable.

It makes me a little angry that they would dangle

this carrot in front of me when I'm at my most vulnerable.

- You know your hips be wiggling

when you be cooking eggs right?

- What?

- I think this whole thing is bullshit personally,

but I'm here so I'll go ahead and make the best of it.

But...

have I ever killed anybody?

Yeah, yeah I laid this one cat down one time.

He was the only one and then I met Diandra

and that was all the excuse I needed to become a ghost.

Killing someone.

I mean I never wanted to experience

the way I felt after that happened again.

It was the worst feeling I've ever have in my life.

I left because I never wanted to get used to that feeling.

I was scared.

Scared of what kind of human being I would become

if I ever stop being scared.

(notification ding)

- I hate secrets and my family is full of them.

This uncle...

had you sittin' on his lap and he touches you in places

and it's okay because, you know, it's our little secret.

Yeah.

My family loves secrets.

I hate secrets.

Hey.

You like?

- Very much.

You went to a lot of effort.

Really smells great, I'm not used to this.

- Well maybe that's my job to show you

things that you might be missing.

- Well this definitely not the norm for me.

- Not too much I hope.

- No, I'm just not used to being catered to like this.

It's nice though.

So what about you?

- What about me?

- What are you missing?

- Feeling safe.

(soft piano music)

- I promise you now,

you are safe Diandra.

What are you doin' now?

- I'm tying your wrists to the chair.

- What if, what if I don't want you to do that?

- Make me stop, Caroline.

Submission...

is not about control.

It's about trust.

- [Caroline] What if I just don't,

- At any time you say the word we stop.

You are in control.

I can only do what you allow me to.

You understand?

- Uh-hmm, I promised Sawyer I wouldn't have sex Carson.

- It's not about sex.

- Its' about submission.

- It's about trust.
