So you do remember? Don't -- lie to me.

I'm not lying.

You are.

And that's what I'm not gonna deal with.

[Man]: Previously on Sistas.

Wow, she is just really beautiful.

Want me to go get her back?

Can you?

Why would you rob a bank?

Because you and Sabrina made me do it.

I got him confessing on tape.

He said and he and Sabrina Hollins were behind it.

I told you I was going to figure it out,

so when SEC comes to take your little boy,

it's gonna be bye-bye little Zackie.

I want you right here, right now.

So?

No. I can't do it. I can't.

I will not say a word.

All you have to do is sleep with me.

I heard what you said.

And I'm flattered, but I can't.

Wait. Am I that disgusting to you?

No. No, you're not.

Well, you sure act like it.

It really has nothing to do with you,

and I know it's gonna sound crazy,

but I'm in love.

Oh, hell.

What?

Love?

Yeah.

Yeah, I can tell that you're young.

What the -- that supposed to mean?

I can tell you old. Shit.

I was in love for 30 years,

and then he left me high and dry.

Now I'm in a damn hotel room, desperate,

begging you to have sex with me.

I'm sorry that your life, like, panned out like that.

I really am, I can't do this.

So you're just gonna let me give you up?

You're gonna do what you wanna do, so...

That's what I will do then.

Copy. I'm going to head out.

No, I mean it Zac.

I'm a cold-blooded bitch.

Ma'am--

Don't ma'am me.

What are you--it's the middle of the -- day.

And you call me in here with this shit? Come on, seriously?

I'm gonna head out.

Well, then I am going to call the SEC and make an appointment

to speak to them about you.

Do what you gotta do. Just do it.

You're really not going to have sex with me?

No. I'm not.

You got on a silk robe with flowers on it.

What am I supposed to do with that?

You will go to jail.

I-I'm not scared of jail. I've been there before.

They wear similar shit like that in jail.

You're bluffing.

Look at my face. Do I look like I'm bluffing?

Okay.

I'm gonna give you a few hours to think about it.

Lady, you don't listen.

This is why your husband left you.

You don't listen.

I don't need a few more hours. I'm good. Trust me, I'm good.

You need to be good. You need to stop drinking.

You need to be good. I'm good, though.

Now, I'm leaving. You're gonna be fine.

You'll be back.

You stand there solid, but... you're afraid.

Lady...

I ain't afraid of nothing.

I done been through it all.

Well, then I'm afraid if you don't, you will go to jail.

You know, you keep, you keep threatening me, right?

But think about this, okay?

So two things.

The first one is,

if I do this, what's gonna stop you from coming back for more?

Hmm? And then, if I do it,

what's gonna stop you from turning me in anyway?

Mm, something tells me that I'm gonna like it so much,

that I'm not gonna want to turn you in.

You're gonna like it. I know you're gonna like it.

That's what I do,

but you still ain't answered the first question.

I may want it again.

See. That's a deal-breaker for me.

So let me understand this.

You're saying you'll do it now?

You'll be here. I'm never coming back.

Just in case.

You know what?

Just, don't finish that bottle, all right?

You need, you need to put that down.

Have a nice day.

Ma'am.

[phone ringing]

[Jake]: Hello.

Yo, Jake, what's up? This is Zac.

[Jake]: Hey, brother. What's up?

Yo, can you meet me at my crib?

[Jake]: Yeah. You sound bothered.

I'm-I'm beyond bothered. Trust me.

[Jake]: Okay. Yeah, I'll come right now.

Copy. Thanks, bro.

[Jake]: Yeah, no problem.

Hey.

Hey. Could you make sure he's there on time?

Yes.

And the Saul Hall case?

Yes, it's um...

Fatima.

I have it here, um.

Fatima.

You know, it's on my hard-- It's um.

It's on my laptop in my car. I'm just gonna.

I'll be right-

Hold on. Hold on.

Oh shit...

What's going on?

I'm sorry. I'm just-- I'ma go get it.

No, you're not.

What? Does he have you that stressed?

[sighs] No. No.

You know I know you, right?

Andi, it's not him.

Well, what is it? Sit down.

[sighs]

You've helped us enough.

Well, I could help you more if you tell me what's going on.

Yeah, I know.

What did he say to you?

Nothing. [sighs]

I won't tell Karen.

I promise.

Andi.

Listen. I know you are faithful and loyal to Zac,

but this stuff that Hayden is saying...

Wait. So you know?

A little bit.

I...I don't wanna panic. I don't.

No, I mean, it's...

Andi, there's a time to panic and now is not the time,

but I'm...

So you're gonna walk around stressed out?

Look at you.

[sighs] It's fine. It's fine.

Fatima, if you wait too long, this could get really bad.

Yeah. I understand that.

So do you want to talk about it?

No.

Okay. Now can we focus on work?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but um, I-I do want to talk to you

about Karen.

Yeah.

I knew it.

Look. I know she's your friend and all.

[Andi]: She is.

But sis almost caught one last night.

Fatima, why do you wake up and choose violence?

You just top o' the morning violence.

I know. I know, but seriously, you need to talk to her

about showing up unannounced.

That shit ain't cool.

I did.

-You did? -I did.

Okay.

I spoke with her and she regrets it.

Good.

Especially after the baby mama showed up.

-Mm-hmm. -I see she told it all.

Yes, she did. You forget I'm me.

Yeah, I know.

What the hell, Fatima? Another baby?

[chuckles] Yeah.

Is it his?

Honestly, I don't know. I don't.

Why are you smiling right now?

Because it's funny. What else am I gonna do?

How do you figure it's funny?

Zac is...

He's cute and funny,

and lovable.

But the boy finds himself in the craziest,

most stupid situations.

And you think that shit is funny?

It's not, but it's his lack of judgment

that makes me question him sometimes.

What do you mean?

If he's all there.

Oh. That makes sense.

Andi, I...

I love him. I do.

And he's a really good man.

He is.

It's just, he's never had a girl to, like, to ride for him.

You know, and hold him down.

And as much as I don't even want to say this 'cause I don't

truly feel like this, but his mom...

[Andi]: I heard.

No. Horrible.

Mm-hmm.

I know that he's never had a woman like me.

Hmm.

And I, I feel like I can make him a better man.

Okay.

No.

What was that?

What was what?

Hmm. Okay.

Andi, tell me.

This all sounds very familiar.

From Karen?

I agree Zac has potential. He is a good man.

But...

What?

Put it this way.

When I was in college, I needed a car.

And I went on the lot,

and I saw the most perfect car for me.

You couldn't tell me that car wasn't mine.

But everyone said, it's a fixer upper,

it's a fixer upper.

And I said, you know what? I'ma fix this car.

And I put all my money into it, every dime I made.

And I made it all nice and shiny, and beautiful,

and mine.

And then when I got it on the road...

it just kept breaking down on me,

every time.

I sold it for a huge loss.

And at the end of the day,

me wanting to make it better

wasn't worth it.

Got it. Well, Zac is worth it.

You sure?

Yes.

I am.

Okay, well, if he's worth it,

then you do what you have to do to make it work.

You really mean that?

Yeah.

I mean, a good man is hard to find and if anybody knows that,

-it's me. -It's you.

It's me.

It's you.

-All right, now. -Okay, I'm sorry.

But you have a good man.

And I do believe you can make him great,

but you're gonna put in a lot of work.

I got it.

I got it. Thank you.

Mm-hmm. Now go get your life together.

Yes.

Don't stress.

-I know, thank you. All right. -Bye.

♪ I knew that I was yours when the light switched ♪

-Hey. -Hey. How are you doin'?

-Good. You? -Pretty good.

Can I have a green juice please?

Of course, of course.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

It is fate that we meet.

What are you doing here?

Same as you.

Right.

How are you?

I'm good.

I'm so glad I ran into you.

-Yeah. -I called you.

I've been working.

Listen, you must let me apologize.

It's fine.

No, it's not.

I was going on and on over your friend.

It's fine.

I was going to show you these pictures.

Do you see these women?

Yeah.

They are from a tribe called Nzuri.

They are special people.

Do you see how they look like your friend?

Yeah. Yeah. They do.

Yes. So I didn't mean to be rude.

But these women are very special and beautiful.

I see, they are.

Can you send me this picture?

I'll text it to you now.

Did you get it?

Yes. Wow. They are really beautiful.

And so are you.

Thank you.

You have to forgive a foolish man.

It's really okay, honestly.

I should have known better.

I'm just so happy to see you.

Yeah.

Do you have a minute to stay?

Um, no, actually, I have to get back to work right now.

I must know. Will I see you again?

Yeah.

How soon is too soon?

Call me.

Okay. I will.

Thanks, for the juice.

No problem.

Have a nice day.

You too.

I'll call you.

Okay.

[cell buzzing]

Hey.

Uh, yeah. Question. Who are these random women?

Look at them closer.

[Danni]: Uh, I don't know. They look a little random to me.

What? Danni, you don't see how you look like them?

Hell no. Have you seen me?

Come on, Danni. Look.

Where did you get these?

Bayo. He just showed them to me.

That's why he was staring at you like that.

And you believed him?

Kind of.

Oh, wow. Okay, Sabrina.

Um, hey.

Yeah?

I got this bridge. You know, I want to sell it.

Never mind.

Okay. Listen, I know you like him.

Nah, I just...I just thought the whole thing was weird.

Okay.

Yeah, and then I'm at the store and he showed up.

Do you think that's weird too?

Well, it's all a little strange.

And him being a prince,

he didn't tell you anything about it.

Well, I kind of like him.

I know you do. That's okay.

I think I'm gonna see him again.

All right. Great.

Okay. Well, I'll let you go.

I've got to get back to work anyway.

And I'll call you later.

[Danni]: All right, now. Bye-Bye.

Bye.

Hi.

Hi.

Are you good?

Yeah, uh, sorry about last night.

No problem.

Hey, you didn't tell your friend what I said, did you?

Not a word.

Okay.

But you should know, you're wrong about her.

Am I?

Yeah. Whatever you think, Sabrina is not the one.

Okay.

What are you doing here?

Pickin' up some FBI agents.

Oh.

So they should be landing any minute now.

Good. Good, good, good.

Did you enjoy the dinner last night?

You mean before you got all strange? Yeah. I did.

I'm sorry.

I don't understand. Hmm?

We can't, I can't be seen with someone

that we're investigating.

So you are investigating her?

Danni.

You just said it.

Look, it's just a lot going on.

Like what?

I can't tell you.

That's some bullshit.

Look. I'll take you to dinner and I'll explain everything.

Are you crazy?

I'm not going to dinner with you.

I'm not going to go out with somebody who's trying

to take my friend down.

I'm not trying to take her down.

Then what do you call an investigation?

Just that.

So what do you think she did, hmm?

Look. Me saying hi may not have been the best thing today.

Yeah. Maybe not.

Because if you think I'ma let sleeping dogs lie...

I wish you would.

Nah, bruh. That's my friend.

Okay, well, my guys are here.

Great.

Okay. I'll talk to you later.

Yeah. Okay.

Can you guys call Hayden?

What are you doing here?

Hi, Fatima.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to see my lawyer.

She doesn't want to see you.

That bitch ain't my lawyer.

What did you just say?

You heard me.

Yeah, okay.

Okay.

My laptop is actually at home,

so I'm just gonna run home real quick and get it.

Okay.

All right and um...

Gary is here.

-Is he? -[Fatima]: Mm-hmm.

Okay, well, tell him I don't want to see him today.

He said he's not here to see you.

What?

Mm-hmm. See?

Uh-uh.

What in the hell is going on with that?

I don't know. What do you think that's about?

Maybe it's nothing to worry about.

Okay.

We're talking about Hayden.

You right. Go get your laptop. We gonna figure this out.

All right.

What the hell?

All right, Gary. You can have a seat.

Thank you.

All right.

So?

Thanks for seeing me, man.

What's going on?

I made a mistake.

If you bought an apartment for someone, can you get it back?

Well, is it in your name?

No.

Okay, well, who'd you buy an apartment for?

Hayden...

Bro. Really?

Yeah.

After what I told you about the dude?

The one you thought was gay.

Right. Right. Okay. I'ma help you out.

Just...Just tell me what I need to do.

Okay. You can sue her for it.

Now we're talkin'.

And I'd be happy to file it.

Isn't that a conflict?

We're in different divisions. You let me worry about that.

Trust me. I would love it.

And I want to sue her for the car too.

What car?

I bought her a car.

You bought her a car too?

-Just-- -Damn, bro. Okay.

-Just do it. -I'ma help you out.

You know what you should do?

Sue her for pain and suffering.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've been suffering.

-[Hayden]: Yeah. -Mm-hmm. I like that.

I like that. Damn, Hayden. This is good. Mm-hmm.

What do you need from me?

[knocking on door]

Hold up.

What's up?

You came by here fast.

Well, yeah, you said you needed me.

Yeah. Um...

Question.

What's up?

Can I trust you?

Are you being serious, man?

I thought I proved that to you by now.

Jake, look me in my face, bro. Tell me.

Can I trust you?

Yes, man, you can trust me, of course.

[sighs] The lady who gave me the stock tip, she called me.

She blackmailin' me.

Okay, what does she want?

She wants me to have sex with her.

Ooh.

Is she fine?

Come on, Jake. Now is not the time-

That's my fault.

Now is not the time, bro.

[sighs] I don't know what I'ma do, bro.

Yeah, what's to stop her from coming back again?

That's what I said, like...

Or you can just make sure it never happens again.

How? Like, how do I do that?

I don't know. Just be really bad at the sex.

Don't wash your ass before. I don't know.

I don't even know how to be bad at sex.

[Jake]: Man, shut up.

I'm serious. Whatever, bro.

And Fatima, I can't do that, bro.

Fatima would kill me, son.

All right, so, I mean, what are you gonna do?

You think I'm ready to face the SEC?

Look, I think you're ready, but you know,

if they have evidence, that's a whole 'nother ballgame.

Then they'll just use her as a witness.

Damn.

All right.

Do you really think she'll stay quiet if you have sex with her?

If you sleep with her?

Oh, shit!

Hi.

Hey.

Wh-what-what-what-what...

What are you, what are you, what are you?

I left my laptop. I needed to come get it for work.

Jake, you uh.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm gone.

Uh, I'll catch you later.

Fatima, I mean, the green and the blue, yeah, I got you.

Hey, baby.

Uh-uh. If you sleep with her?

The lady that gave me the stock tip called me.

She in town, okay?

She said that she got a call from an attorney,

and she's at the Preston Jubilee.

She said she ain't gonna say shit to him if I sleep with her.

I swear. I'm not lying.

Okay, so let me get this right.

She'll keep her mouth shut if you sleep with her?

That's what she say.

And if she doesn't?

Jake says if she sings, I'm going back to jail.

So you tell this -- ?

Who else was I gonna tell? I had to tell somebody.

Zac, I told you not to trust him.

Who was I gonna tell? I had to tell somebody.

Me, -- .

Who do you know at the SEC?

You can't send a van with hooligans to beat up everybody

at the SEC, Fatima!

What am I gonna do?

Okay, so she's sayin'

if you sleep with her, she won't talk?

Yes. I'm stuck. You got all the bright ideas.

Well, you know if you -- her good,

she's gonna keep coming back for more.

What are you saying?

I'm saying do what you gotta do.

Fatima, don't play with me.

I'm not playing with you, Zac.

I will -- the shit out of this old, white lady.

Don't play with me.

Then you need to get over there.

And make sure you wrap it up.

You already got too many damn kids as it is.

You're serious?

Yes, I am. I gotta go back to work.

What you reachin' for?

-- , if you don't... Move your hand.

I don't go to jail if I'm dead.

Well, then get your ass over there before you do go to jail.

Or before I kill you.

You dead serious?

[Fatima]: Yep.

Fatima!

[Fatima]: Figure it out, Zac!

And I said to him, you better go on somewhere.

She is always tellin' lies.

Oh, no, baby girl. This is the truth.

Okay, Pam.

I'm telling you.

I said, okay.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You should drink some water.

You're probably right.

Are you sure you don't need to sit down?

No. I'm almost done. Almost.

-Okay. -Almost done.

And you are actually all done, my dear, okay?

You can go ahead to the front and pay,

and I will see you next week, okay?

I know you beat that hair.

Thank you.

Sit down, please.

What are you, my mama?

No. I'm just trying to make sure you're okay.

Well, thank you, but I am good.

Are you sure you should be working all these hours

and standing up all day?

Plenty of women do it.

I know. Not a lot in your condition.

Actually a lot in my condition. And Pam, I am fine, okay?

-I'm fine. -Okay.

I just got a little bit of a headache. That's all.

Do you wanna take something?

No. No, I don't.

Yeah, that's probably not a good idea.

Yeah, I know it's not.

Are you okay, Karen?

Yes. Yes. I don't know what this is, though.

Well, me either and I don't like it.

I'm just a little dizzy. Maybe I didn't eat nothin' today.

You need to call your doctor.

Oh, my God. Do you smell that?

Is that a perm?

Yeah. What about it?

Oh, my God. That smell is bothering me.

It's probably that um-

Pam, Pam, stop.

I'm not gonna say it.

Okay. It just seems kind of strong, don't it?

No.

Is it hot?

Not at all.

Are you okay?

I'm gonna go home, actually. I'ma lay down and go home.

Well, good.

Which one of these bitches you trust with your clients?

Have Donnell take the rest of them, okay?

I'm gonna just sit in the car for a second,

lay down and just...

Oh, shit, Karen.

What?

You're bleeding.

What?

You're bleeding.

Oh, my God.

Pam.

Damn, what a day, Lord.

Danni.

Damn.

I see you're still not happy to see me.

It's not that, Preston. It's not that.

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize. What are you doing here?

You bought a ticket to come back here?

I bought a ticket home.

Okay. Have a safe flight.

Danni, I'm going home for good.

For good?

Yeah, look, there's nothing left in Atlanta for me anymore.

I'm very sorry to hear that.

You know, honestly,

you're the only reason I stayed as long as I did.

I'm a country boy at heart.

I can tell by the hat.

Look, I would have called,

but I didn't know if you would take my call.

I've always taken your call.

Well, I thought that you would have missed it and called me

back hours later and by then I would've been gone.

Well, okay.

Look, Danni, I don't know what I did wrong.

And I know you're gonna say that's the problem.

That is the problem.

You didn't listen to me, but you listened to Zac 'cause um...

Look, I just wish you would've told me what I did wrong,

so...

I didn't tell you?

Never mind, Danni.

I really, I don't wanna relive all of that.

But I'll tell you that I'm willing to change any

and everything just to be with you.

I only want to be the man you need and to love you, Danni.

Here.

Thank you.

I want you to keep that.

Well, it'll hold up 'cause it's plastic.

That's kinda the point.

That way, it'll never die

like my love for you.

Wow, Preston. That's a lot.

Please.

Don't say anything.

'Cause I've made up my mind to leave.

And if you say anything, it's just gonna make me

want to stay and I know, I know that's not what you want.

So, look... I'm gonna leave now, okay?

I love you, Danni.

Still running.

You're back.

Okay. Okay.

If I do this.

When you do it.

If I do this, you gotta promise me,

you ain't gonna say nothin'.

I won't.

I don't even, I don't even know you.

What good is a promise from you? This is stupid.

Take off your clothes.

Can I have a drink?

Sure.

Have two.

I'm just gonna take this. Um... Thanks.

Naked.

Okay. All right. Can you just...

Can you turn your head, please?

Oh, you've gotta be kidding?

No, I'm not.

I'm not. Can you? I won't be able to do this.

Can you just please?

Why don't you come over here and see for yourself

what you've been missing?

Got you, lady. I got you.

Come on, Zac. Only you and I will know.

And I will not say a word to the SEC and...

You won't have to go to jail.

I can't do this. I can't.

I can't do this.

Fine.

I can't.

I'll see you in jail.

Do whatever it takes.

Fatima.

Did you do it?

Come on, you know me better than that.

Where is she?

No. No.

I just, I just wanna talk to her.

Zac.

Go ahead, go ahead. I ain't gonna stop you.

You ain't gonna stop anyway.

Hi.

Who are you?

I'm his woman.

Oh. I see.

And what exactly do you see?

I don't do threesomes.

Uh, yeah. No. I'm not interested.

Okay. Good.

And neither is he.

I told her.

I can see that.

You didn't do it?

No, I didn't it. I told you I wasn't touching this lady.

He said he couldn't.

Well.

If you'd looked like this, then maybe he could.

Don't rub it in.

I mean, I can stand here and help him get it up.

He would make you very happy.

Fatima, I ain't doing none of that--

I'm not done.

You can do that?

Yes.

He gets that way just looking at me.

Well.

Hold on.

This right here...

This is some lame-ass shit you're doing.

You're blackmailing him to keep him from going to jail.

And what would the people in your little hometown

of DC have to say about that?

Oh and...

You're going through a divorce, right?

You wouldn't want all this coming out during that,

would you?

Yeah, Fisher's your husband's lawyer.

One call.

I can make all this go public.

'Cause I'm not the kind of bitch that whispers.

I'd do it press conference style.

Just be calm, baby. Just be--

I'm calm.

'Cause all right. I'm just... Okay.

So what you're gonna do is keep your mouth shut.

And not say a damn thing.

You're gonna play dumb.

And all this is gonna go away.

Do you understand?

I'm just so mad at my husband.

Karen.

Karen... That's, that's...

That sounds like a personal problem to me.

But this right here, he's off limits.

Do you understand?

Yes.

You're not going to tell anybody, are you?

Oh, darlin', that's up to you.

Let's go, Zac.

Bye.

-Hey. -Uh-uh.

What?

No, sir.

What's wrong?

You're late. You want to tell me why?

Well, I had a late night.

Huh.

Maurice.

What?

Is that boy still at your house?

Yes.

Are you sleeping with him?

Now that question is a violation.

Vio-- Violation, Maurice? From you?

Well.

With all the crap that you say to me and our customers.

Que is sleeping with Calvin.

Stop.

Okay. Okay. I'm just joking.

I don't like him being in your house.

I know, girl. You keep saying it.

Yeah, well, it's just not smart.

Listen, I got it.

Do you?

'Cause you know you really need to let him outta your house.

Sabrina, damn!

Fine. I'll let it go.

For now.

Thank you.

Yeah, but you're gonna be docked for being late.

Uh-uh, bitch. You can't touch my coins.

You shoulda been on time then.

Whatever, ho. That's just great.

Speaking of Calvin...

No ma'am.

Uh, I just...I just wanna know how he's doing.

Wait.

Why are you talking about him?

Things not going well with Zimbabwe, the African?

That is so ignorant.

Tell me, girl.

I don't know. It was weird.

Weird how?

He met Danni and then he couldn't stop talking about her.

Yuck mouth?

He kept talking about her.

And I was like, you can have her number.

God no, he didn't take it.

I told him, but he didn't.

He apologized.

But still. I don't know. It was strange.

Do you like him?

He's okay.

Hmm. That's why you're asking about Calvin again.

No.

So is Calvin the fall-back guy now?

I was just asking.

Tell me, bitch 'cause you're something.

I'm just saying, girl, you're low down and dirty,

and you want to go from man to man.

Forget I asked.

Not in my house.

I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but the bank is closed.

What the hell is going on?

Right this way.

What way?

Logan, what are you doing?

Sabrina Hollis, Maurice Webb, you are under arrest

for conspiracy to commit bank robbery.

What?

Excuse me? I-I think you have the wrong person.

You have the wrong person!

Put your hands behind your back!

I'm-I'm sorry. What is going on here?

Get them out of here.

Get your hands off of me. This is some bullshit! Get off!

Does Danni know you're doing this?

Do you know him?
