[Zac] Previously on Zatima...
We're really moving in together. We're doing this.
- Let's get this chapter started. - All right.
The Zatima chapter.
You fall in love.
- Get married. - Your life is over.
He's speaking facts.
[Fatima] You need to figure out your babymama drama.
[Zac] I know for a fact that's not my baby.
He's your baby.
Fatima, can we get this done, please?
I already got the DNA.
You gotta watch me. Open up.
[Zac] All this time I ain't hear from them,
then I make some money, now they call me every day?
- What are you doing here? - I need 10 grand.
If you're gonna do this real estate and stock game,
you're gonna need a partner.
- You serious? - You and me, man.
Yeah, let's split everything.
If I took, like, your brain
and I put it into Fatima's body...
Nothing in my life has been this good since I met you.
Please say you'll be my wife.
Yes.
[applause]
We got the DNA results back.
Ninety-nine point nine percent.
[Zac] Oh, God.
- Zac, I got to... - [Zac] Wait, wait, wait!
Don't move, don't move, don't move!
- [Zac] Don't move. Don't move. - Zac...
[Zac] Don't move, don't move... [squealing]
Oh, my God, Zac, I gotta...
Shit.
Oh, my God, Zac. We need to talk.
[Zac] Oh, no, don't do that.
- We do. - No, babe.
After we just had good morning-sex.
- Come on, baby. - [Fatima] Yes.
And last-night sex and yesterday-afternoon sex
and midday sex.
Come on, you doing too much.
Afternoon sex is midday sex.
- [Zac] Stop. - But that was twice yesterday.
- We did do it twice yesterday. - Yeah.
That's what I'm talking about, baby!
Zac, you had a 103 temp last week,
and you were still trying to get some ass.
I didn't do that for me, I did that for you!
Baby, that's why we need to talk,.
No, we don't, Fatima. Come on.
Unless you trying to talk about
how you snitched on my man, Nathan,
and beat up the freaking tenant!
Oh, your second or third baby mama?
You wanna talk about that?
So you don't mind talking about that,
but you don't ever want to talk
about the stuff I want to talk about.
And I don't want to talk about this.
We just had good sex. Come on, please...
All right. Fine.
- Now you mad? - [Fatima] I'm not mad.
I just don't want to talk about it.
Yes, you...
Time out, time out. Turn around, turn around.
What?
Why is it, every time you want to talk about something,
I gotta stop what I'm doing
and talk about it right then and there,
but if I want to talk about something,
you need to process it?
Isn't it always the best way?
No, it's not!
I always gotta wait and you don't!
And we know you do not like to wait.
What does that mean?
Just what I said. You don't like to wait.
Why should I have to wait?
You know what, Zac? Fine.
But we gonna talk about this.
Talk about what? Deja?
Look, I'm processing it, okay?
[Zac] You see what I'm saying?
Why are you mad? And what's wrong with the sex?
- [Fatima] Nothing. - [Zac] Yes, there is.
- [Zac] What's the matter? - Babe, I love it, but...
- [Zac] But what? - [Fatima] It's just too much.
What you mean too much?
[Fatima] Yes.
I'm a man, like...
And I'm a woman.
You know what? You not hearing me.
- I see that much. - I'm hearing you.
- [Fatima] No, you not, Zac. - I'm hearing you.
You know what? I gotta go to work. I'm about to be late.
No, no, no, don't leave. No, don't leave.
- [Zac] Come on. - You know what? Fine, you go.
No, don't... Fatima, don't put...
- Go! - Don't push me.
- Bye. Bye. - No, wait, wait.
- Sorry. - [Zac] Damn!

[Fatima] My goodness.
This is crazy. I ain't never had nothing like this.
Whatever.
Are you serious right now?
Yes, I am.
Zac...
Fatima, what are you saying to me?
Zac, let me ask you this.
Have you ever had this problem before?
First of all, I don't have a problem.
Okay, well, have any of the other women you dealt with
ever said that you wanted too much?
Really? Too much?
Zac, I'm a woman. This is a lot.
I'm a man. Like, what you want me to do?
You know... The other day,
you scheduled a nap with me, remember?
Yes.
And I thought that was so sweet.
I was like, "Oh, my baby wanna cuddle."
Be some little spoon.
And all you wanted was sex.
No, that's not true. I didn't want to have sex.
Well, I mean, come on.
How much big spoon can a nigga do?
- [Zac] What? - I don't know.
Maybe you need to talk to your boys.
You want me to talk to them?
No, no, actually forget I ever said that.
I don't want you talking to them.
Babe, maybe you should go talk to a doctor or something
'cause I don't know if this is normal.
You think I need professional help
because I like touching on you and making love to you?
Babe, I think you need help
because you want it so damn much.
That's the problem.
You really think that?
Look, Zac, I gotta go to work.
Fine, but when we get back,
- we talking about this. - All right, fine.
And we talking about what you did to Deja
and snitching on Nathan.
Uh, yeah, I'm not ready to talk about that.
You see what I'm saying?
Zac, honey, I love you, okay?
- I love you too. - Yeah. All right.
- What? - See?
- What? - You already hard.
You haven't even seen yourself in these pants.
You know what? I cannot with you today, seriously.
I'm just saying. Just give me three minutes.
- Bye, Zac, I gotta go. - No, wait, I'm coming with you.
- Bye. - No, wait, I'm coming...
- [Fatima] No. - I have to go to the office.
[Zac] Talking about "too much."
[Deja] Wait, wait. That hurt me.
What is this shit?
Ouch.
Ow! Ow, ow, ow.
- What is this? - Hey.
Hey, hey, hey, no, no, no.
- No, no, no. - Oh, God.
- Hey, Zac. - What's up, Deja?
"Hey, Zac"?
My gosh, I woke up, I was in so much pain.
I had to call the paramedics.
Ow, ow, ow.
And why is that?
You know what you did to me.
Dragging me out that hot tub like a ragdoll!
You better be glad that's all I did.
Sir, did you hear what she said?
I hope he did. Did you catch that?
Uh-uh, no. Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
[Zac] Why would you say that?
Can you go, please, to work?
Can you go inside?
I will once you go to work.
Zac, I don't want you out here talking to her.
Fatima, I won't be.
- [Fatima] Mm-hm. - Please?
Zac, I'm looking at you standing here.
Mm-hm. Yes.
- Okay, all right. I'll go. - [Fatima] Okay.
- Can I just get... - Now! Go inside.
- I will. - Now!
I don't want you to do nothing.
She ain't gonna do shit!
You know what? I'mma go before I whoop your ass again.
- Uh-huh, uh-uh. - Get your pit bull.
[Fatima] No, you get her.
- Uh-uh, that didn't happen. - [Fatima] Get your woman, Zac.
It was a hypothetical.
[Fatima] This is your lucky day, Deja.
There was nothing that happened.
Bye, baby.
- Get your ass inside, Zac. - I'm going!
I'm not playing with you.
I love you too.
Why you gotta do all of that?
[engine turns over]
[Zac] Why?
[car scraping] [Fatima] Ooh.
Damn, I just got that car!
Whoo, damn, I don't know how you deal with her.
She is possessive.
Yes, she is, so you need to chill.
You saw what she did to me?
I didn't see nothing.
The devil came out of her. She dragged me.
- She hit me. - [Zac] Deja...
I'm really in a lot of pain, Zac.
Where the hell these ambulance people at?
My back hurt! They know I ain't got no insurance.
That's why they playing with me out here.
Where y'all at? I need a neck brace, a back brace,
- a something! - Oh, my God.
Are you done, Deja?
Zac.
Come on now. Really?
She did this to me.
I didn't see anything.
You need to get your dog on a leash.
[Zac] You better chill.
No, I'm not gonna chill.
Deja, if I let her go for real,
you gonna need more than an ambulance, seriously.
Don't talk about my girl like that.
Okay, any way I can help, as your landlord?
I'm not gonna have a ride? I'm gonna need a ride
to get my back looked at.
You in an ambulance.
No, I mean, like, for my checkups.
They gonna have to see me, like, every day.
Well, call and tell them come back.
Zac, that's expensive.
I ain't got no insurance, man.
You really gonna leave me out here like this?
I gotta go.
With all these bruises on my back, my inner thigh,
and my coochie and stuff?
Zac.
Zac!
[Zac] There's always something.
[Deja] You can't leave me out here like this!
[Zac] Good luck, Deja!
Hope you okay for your slip and fall.
Oh, my God.
Don't leave me!
[music]
Hey, what's up?
Um, I got a great deal on the Remore Street property.
- Good job. - Thanks.
How you feeling?
I'm feeling good.
Cool. Can we talk?
Oh, I don't feel like talking.
Okay, well, I know that you guys
invited us over for dinner last night,
but then you cancelled.
- Yeah? - [Bryce] Yeah.
Does that have anything to do with...
No, no, it has nothing to do with nothing.
You know, I just got a lot going on.
Okay, well, I'd really like to...
I'd really like to talk about it.
I really don't want to talk about it.
- Okay. Um. - [Zac] Okay?
What I was gonna say is that
if you wanted to part ways after these two projects,
then we can.
I know that this must feel uncomfortable for you now.
I think that's a good idea.
- Okay. - Okay then.
I'm really sorry, Zac. I'm sorry.
- Yeah. Mm-hm. - [Bryce] Okay?
Okay.
Bryce, wait, wait. I...
Yeah? Yeah, what's up?
I gotta say this.
You betrayed me, bro.
- I know. I know... - [Zac] No, no, no, no, no.
You don't know. You betrayed me.
You did, because all this time we were being friends,
and that's what's on your mind the whole time?
No, no, no, it wasn't.
That's the thing. It wasn't, I swear.
What do you mean you swear? So what were you thinking?
I, I, I didn't...
I don't know. I just got caught up in the moment.
Oh, don't give me the "I got caught up in the moment."
You know how many times I use that on women?
I say, "Got caught up in the moment."
You broke the code!
Why didn't you just tell me?
If I would've told you, Zac,
you wouldn't have accepted me...
Oh, come on.
How would you have reacted if I told you?
Are you serious?
We're grown. I don't care who you sleep with.
But you can't just come kiss me.
You broke the code, man. You betrayed me.
Now I gotta worry about
what your intentions are all the time.
That's not fair.
Look, Zac,
I'm sorry, okay?
I love you as a friend.
And I don't know what that was, okay?
- [Zac] I'm sure you do. - Yeah.
And it's on me, okay?
- [Bryce] It's on me. - Yeah.
[Bryce] I have a lot to think about.
- Yes, you do. - And I'm really sorry
if you feel betrayed.
And it wasn't intentional, Zac.
I don't want to talk about it. Can you go in your room?
- I go in my room. - Look, Zac.
You go in your room. I go in my room.
- Okay. - Your room. My room.
[Bryce] I know it wasn't cool...
Do not pass... Okay.
I know it wasn't cool, and I'm sorry.
It wasn't.
- It wasn't cool, man. - [Zac] It wasn't.
And I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry.
Okay.
So did you talk to him?
No.
Why not?
Girl, I just told him I was busy all week.
Girl, so you just not gonna talk to him anymore at all?
We wasn't really talking that long, right?
But you really liked him.
Yeah. No, what I like is a straight man.
Yeah, yeah.
I can't do nothing with a man who wants some dick, so...
Okay, well, do we need to, you know...
No, we don't need to do anything.
I'm cool.
Okay, well, I'm sorry.
Yeah. Me too.
But, um, what's going on with you and Zac?
Besides the baby being his?
Fuck. Fatima.
Yeah. I know.
Girl, are you sure about all of this?
It's more than that.
I think he has a problem.
What do you mean?
Girl, he wants sex all the time.
Now, Fatima, I know you love sex, so...
I do. I do love it and I love it with him,
especially when he about to get his...
- Okay. - Just the way he looks
- into my eyes is so sexy. - [Angela] That's enough.
- Okay. Okay. - [Fatima] Oh, my God.
I'm telling you, girl, he be hitting spots
that I ain't know was there.
I cum two or three times before he even does.
- It's, like, the best. - [Angela] What?
- Damn. - [Fatima] Yes.
Seriously.
- Okay. - [Fatima] Shit.
I'm starting to think maybe something wrong with me.
Why would you say that?
Angela.
I ride him. I try to do all types of tricks on the D,
you know, and nothing works.
He just goes and goes and goes for hours.
Like, it's just too much. Like, seriously.
Wait. How many times we talking?
- Girl, four. - Oh!
Saturday, it was six.
If he goes 45 minutes, he's ready to go 20 minutes later.
Ooh, girl, that's not good.
Exactly, who you telling?
No, I mean, like, that's really not good.
What you saying?
I mean, if that's his sexual appetite,
it's no wonder one woman cannot please him.
Okay, see, don't... You taking it too far,
'cause you know I would kill him.
- [Angela] Yeah, but... - I'd do that.
What's gonna happen when you say no?
He better grab a damn lotion bottle or something.
Shit.
All right, Fatima,
but how long is he gonna keep that up?
I don't know, Angela. Damn.
Is he watching porn?
No, I actually never even seen him watch it.
Girl, he's ready just by looking at me.
Well, you better fix that.
I don't know how.
Well, you better think of something, 'cause...
Right, 'cause, girl, I don't know
how much more Roxy can take.
Uh, who is Roxy?
Her.
Why would you name her Roxy?
That sounds hard.
'Cause, honey, she rocks it.
Oh, okay.
[laughter]
That's how I get into the mood.
I get you, I get you.
Oh, gosh, but, yeah, seriously, I gotta figure this one out.
[Angela] Yeah, you do, and let me know,
'cause Roxy couldn't take it and Garfield couldn't either.
Who is Garfield?
She's a pussy.
- Got it. - Yeah.
That's a good one!
Now that's the type of shit I'm talking about.
You always talking something crazy, Mr. Tyrone.
Man, I know what I'm trying to tell you.
- [Zac] Hey, hey. - [Tyrone] "Hey" hell.
- [Nathan] What? - Nigga, you got my money?
Yeah, Mr. Tyrone, damn.
Is that any way to greet anybody?
Okay, well, pay me that shit.
You seen the free haircuts in here?
What's taking you so long?
Nigga, you owe me money too.
- Come on. - [Nathan] There you go.
Where's the tip?
What? Come on, Mr. Tyrone.
All right, you want a haircut next week?
Yeah.
Well, go ahead and pay me for that one.
Uh, for real?
You been owing me for three weeks.
Sounds familiar.
I don't need you babysitting my money.
- Damn. - Thank you. Next.
Bro, so you ain't gonna speak?
Uh, hell, no.
And why would he?
You done brought some bitch to the hot tub?
Man, you told this old-ass nigga that?
He ain't had to tell me. The bitch telling everybody.
- Man, look, that's not... - [Tyrone] Nah, you look.
Your young ass is stupid.
You see Zac is with his woman and he trying to be happy.
Now, just 'cause you miserable over here with this chick
we all told you not to marry,
don't mean you can come in here
and fuck up his happiness.
That's facts. Facts.
[Tyrone] But she's got to give you some pussy, though, bruh.
- Oh, yo! - Yeah, she holding out.
If you don't get no pussy soon, bruh,
you gonna be flipping rebar with your feet.
Yo, this why I don't say nothing in here, man.
Hold on, wait, wait, wait.
- She holding out? - No, she not.
Look here, she complaining about how often he need it.
[Zac] Yo!
Hey, listen, I'm just telling you
what you told me not to tell him.
You what...
I ain't saying nothing in this barbershop no more, man.
Shit, that's a hell yeah, yeah?
Hey, where you coming from?
Man, I was in the back.
Bruh, I heard all y'all conversation.
Hey, man, women, they give you everything
- and then they take it away. - Shit.
Can't even get money for the club no more.
What the fuck are you saying?
No, you know she puts him on allowance, weekly.
Cut that shit out, man. All right?
Don't mess with my wife, all right?
This that bullshit, I'm telling you.
All right, all right, whatever, bruh.
I love y'all, man.
Did you apologize to him yet?
Apologize? Apologize for what?
If anything, he owes me an apology
for the way his broad came out me.
[Tony] Nigga, you were in his hot tub, bruh.
No, we not doing this, all right?
That's it.
Tony, I don't need no apology. I'm good.
No, no, no, bruh, he owes you this.
Apologize to him, bruh.
- Not from me. - No, I'm good.
Yo... Tyrone.
- Can you tell him, please? - No.
Can you tell me when you almost done?
Yeah, I'm finished.
- Thanks. - Nathaniel.
No, I'm just saying, man, your girl's a trip, all right?
You don't understand the level of disrespect that you had
while being in his hot tub?
Don't listen to him, man. Me and this man
been through countless adventures, all right,
so that was the least of his worries.
- I gotta pay you, right? - What's up? Yeah.
I just happened to have this $20 in my pocket.
[Nathan] Oh, you funny. You a funny guy.
- That's $10, that's $20. - That's what I'm talking about.
All right, here you go.
[Tony] That was his $20?
He ain't got no money. That was probably your money.
It probably was.
Yeah.
All right, bro.
Mr. Tyrone.
Gonna head to the office.
All right.
This nigga talking about an office.
That's big.
- Jeremiah. - What's up little brother.
What's up?
- [Jeremiah] What, you good? - Yeah, I'm good.
Mama been asking about you, man.
That's funny she asking about me.
What you mean by that?
Nigga, what you been telling her?
She just wants you to come by and come see her.
Yeah, all right.
[Jeremiah] Just go by and see her, man.
- I said all right. - What?
You don't think she wanna see you?
All right, Jeremiah.
I just don't know what you been telling her.
Like, after all this time, she want to see me.
Nigga, go by and see Mama. She at home.
All right. I said all right.
Fuck, I did time for you, bro, and you acting like this, man.
Jeremiah.
Go by the house and see Mama today.
I said okay.
[cellphone ringing]
Fucking shit, man.
- [Jeremiah] Yeah, Ma. - Come on, bro.
Yeah, Zac is gonna come and see you today.
Jeremiah, man...
Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
- Here. - Jeremiah, man...
Nigga, take the fucking phone!
Ma.
Yeah. Yeah.
No... Yeah. No, it's Zac.
It's Zac.
Bye.
Hey, Jeremiah, you ain't gonna
disrespect my father's shop, man.
You have to put that out.
Man, fuck you and your father.
Listen, man, she's looking forward...
- Yo, bro... - Hey, no, no, no.
She's looking forward to seeing you, okay?
I bet. Take your phone.
- Do me a favor. - Yeah.
You stop smoking in my man's spot.
Man, fuck your man.
Girl, when I tell you Andy was so busy today...
- Really? - Yes.
I didn't do a thing at work.
- Lucky you. - I know.
- Shit. - What?
[Fatima] Girl, I got a flat.
What?
I don't know how this happened.
Fatima, did somebody slash your tire?
[Fatima] No, I can see the nail in it.
Okay.
I don't know. I must have ran over it.
And, besides, no one would do that
except your friend, Belinda.
Belinda would not do that.
[Fatima] Yeah, okay.
Or that damn Hayden.
That nigga still bothering you?
No, surprisingly, he has learned his lesson.
What are you doing?
I'm gonna fix the tire.
What?
Fatima, you know...
What?
You don't wanna call Zac for that?
Girl, he's at work. I got it. It's fine.
I don't know...
What, Angela?
Fatima, you know you real independent.
[Fatima] And what is wrong with that?
Well, you know what Ian used to say.
Are we really bringing up Ian right now?
What? What'd he say?
That you didn't need him.
Angela, what am I supposed to do?
I'm just saying a man likes to think
that his woman needs him.
Look, me and Zac, we got this.
He knows that I...
You don't need Zac.
Mm-mm.
Angela, you know me.
I'm not about to be some needy, vulnerable bitch.
- That's not me. - Yes, yes, I know. I know.
But there's nothing wrong with letting him think
that you need him. That's it.
Sis, now you know there's some danger in that.
Uh, no, bitch, the danger is you sweating
and changing that tire,
looking like damn Harriet Tubman.
Okay, look,
but what happens when I really need him, huh?
- What's wrong with that? - And he's not there, Angela?
- [Fatima] Look, I can't do that. - Okay. Okay.
So I learned just keep my expectations
at a real low minimum.
And we cool. It's been working, so we good.
Uh, lumberjack bitch, please.
"Lumberjack"?
That's what you looking like.
Really?
Changing a tire in couture?
Listen, I've had to do everything myself.
I know, but don't you deserve a man
who will take out the trash and change your tires?
Yes, Angela.
But if that means I have to be submissive, and cook and clean,
and do all that shit, then, no.
Fatima.
I know I do that anyway,
but that's because I want to.
Not because I want him to think that I have to.
There's a difference.
- Okay. Fine. - [Fatima] Yeah.
- Fine. Go see. - [Fatima] Thank you.
Can you check the trunk? There's a...
No. Baby, in this?
No, no, no, I'm not touching none of this.
I want no part.
Okay, fine, well, you just stand there.
I will. I'm not your man.
- [Fatima] No help. - I'll assist.
You ain't assisting in nothing.
I'm protecting you from the back.
Yeah, okay.
Hi, can I help you ladies out?
[Angela] Oh, yes. Yes, you can.
No, I got it.
Really. I don't mind helping. I got some tools in the truck.
No, it's fine. As I said, I got it. Thank you.
- Yeah. - Thank you.
I guess she's got it.
Sure, okay. I'm Paul, by the way.
- Oh, hey. I'm Angela. - Hey.
Angela and you're Fatima.
- Uh, how do you know that? - Yeah.
Well, I'm the contractor that's building
the new offices for you on the 16th floor.
Okay, so it's you
that's causing all the noise, giving us a headache?
Yeah, sorry about that.
Okay, so when y'all gonna be done?
Well, you know we working on it every day.
- That's not an end time. - Right.
We're thinking maybe some time next month.
Yeah, well, we already know
contractors never meet their deadlines.
Yeah. Well, we've been getting hit
with some supply chain issues,
but ain't nothing to worry about.
I can get it done. I'm very good at what I do.
Okay, well, we'll see.
Yeah.
And, you know, that don't look
like it can be fixed, by the way.
You gonna need a new tire.
But it's just a nail. It should be fine, right?
Yeah, but it's in the side wall.
If it wasn't for that,
I could've just plugged it up for you.
- Plugged it? - Yeah.
Whatever do you mean?
Well, now what do we do?
You know, we're just girls and we're so sweaty.
You know what? Stop it.
I'm just gonna call my fiancé.
And he'll fix it, and I'll let him know that I need him.
- Work for you? Great. - Oh, great.
Uh, you know, or I could just take the tire off,
put a new one on for you.
Yeah, and I could have another one
delivered here by tomorrow.
Hey, I got a buddy who can order anything
that's auto-related, all brand-new parts.
So you got nothing to worry about.
We'll get it fixed right up for you.
Um... Yeah, no. No.
I don't even know you. I'm not leaving my keys with you.
No.
