I got an urgent

text from her to come here.

Zoe, who is this dude?

Look, I'm sorry.

I only wanna do this once.

Do what?

Wait. You f***ing

this guy, too?

You f***... What?

Wow.

Wow.

It seems Ms. Zoe has been

cheating not only on her husband,

but on me, too. Huh?

Is that right?

You brought me all the way

down here to confess?

Is anybody else coming?

I mean, I don't know.

Maybe we can form a...

We can form a support group,

some sh*t like that, huh?

Stop!

Just stop!

Look, I got you both here

at the same time

to tell you that it's over.

This has got to stop, okay?

I love my husband,

I love my children,

and I don't wanna see you again.

So you think this is okay?

You can f*** anybody you want

and then it's just, what,

it's goodbye?

Don't you get it?

I can't control myself.

It doesn't matter

who I screw. I'm sick.

A**hole.

You got a mouth on you.

Listen to me!

Get off me, man!

Look, I got no beef

with you, man.

Hey, buddy. You good?

He's not answering me.

Oh, Zoe...

You wanna know something, Zoe?

You know,

since I was a little boy,

people would just

walk away from me.

Just walk out of my life.

You're not gonna

walk away from me.

You're not gonna leave me.

Don't come near me.

Oh, you're scared of me now?

What, my touch isn't

good enough for you now?

Tell me! I'm f***ing

asking you something!

Look, let's just talk

about it, okay?

Just calm down.

Oh, no, no, no.

We're not gonna talk

about sh*t anymore,

you f***ing little b*tch.

We're not gonna talk about anything.

Do you hear me?

Oh, you f***ing b*tch.

That was not nice.

That was not nice.

Very f***ing painful.

You see...

Very f***ing painful,

you f***ing b*tch.

Come over here,

you f***ing b*tch!

Where are you going?

Please let me go!

Don't, Quinton!

Think I'm gonna hurt you?

I won't hurt you.

You know,

all I ever wanted to do,

was to have some

good sex with you.

That's all.

But you...

You made me want you.

You made me need you!

What you looking at?

Don't look at me like that.

I told you to leave

your f***ing husband,

but you wouldn't listen to me.

Because you're

a little selfish b*tch.

That's why.

You know that I would never

hurt you like you hurt me.

I would never do that to you.

I would never do that to you!

Look at you.

Look at you,

you're so f***ing beautiful.

You're so beautiful.

I'm gonna make sure...

I'm gonna make sure

your last thoughts are of me.

Look at me.

Look at me. Look at me.

Okay?

Zoe?

You can have that back.

You left this

on the kitchen table.

Told me all I need to know.

Jason?

Jason, wait!

This motherf***er's just crazy.

What the hell happened?

Jesus. Quinton...

What did you do?

Hey, baby...

Hey...

Jason, please.

Please hear me out.

I don't need to hear

a goddamn thing.

Got a pretty clear picture here.

Oh, I am beyond sorry...

You're sorry?

Look, I know that I lied.

But I'm not lying

to you right now

when I say that

I've been seeing a doctor.

And she's been helping me

with my condition.

That's the technical term

for "screwing around

on your husband"?

Oh, God. Jason...

I know I f***ed up.

I know I did.

But I love you and you love me!

And I think we can work it out.

Yeah, let's all have therapy!

It'll all be great!

Look, you can't just

throw away everything we...

You threw it away!

You screwed around!

You put our kids in danger!

I never cheated on you.

You were my life.

I'm still your life.

You are a lying, cheating whore.

Okay?

We are done.

Through. It's over.

And you won't be

getting the kids.

You don't mean that.

You're dead to me.

You hear me?

You're f***ing dead.

Without you, I am dead.

Zoe!

I can't believe it came to this.

Me neither.

You can't escape!

I'm sorry.

I don't think I can do this.

What? Jason, what is it?

All those people

you were with...

When I look at you,

that's all I can see.

Surprise!

Whoo!

Wow.

Hi.

Is it okay to hug you?

I don't wanna break you.

Oh, break my heart

is more like it.

Come here.

Go ahead.

I love you, Mom.

I love you more.

Come here.

I missed you all.

Me, too.

I'm glad you're home.

Hi, Brina.

She's in there, watching TV.

Okay.

What is this?

You don't even like television.

It's numbing.

What the hell

are you doing, Zoe?

You've been sitting in this

house for months now.

The pity party

officially ends today.

Look, I need more time.

Mmm-mmm.

Your time is up.

You need to get up,

and get your behind

back to work.

This ain't fair to you or

those beautiful kids of yours.

Now, come on.

Come on. Uh-uh.

I'm not... I'm not ready

to go anywhere yet.

I'm not ready to go.

Dr. Spencer called

this morning again.

Says you're not taking her call.

She asked that

I make sure you get this.

You know what, Zoe? You can

try to chase me away,

but I ain't going nowhere.

Listen to me, damn it!

Brina, I appreciate what

you're trying to do, okay?

I really do.

Oh!

You did not just turn that television

back on while I was talking to you!

Okay.

If that's how it's gonna be,

then we will just watch TV.

But I ain't going nowhere.

...and you're going

to have to make 250 portions.

And then you

think you're a chef, right?

Well, I do hope so.

Grandma!

Grandma!

Can I get a hug? Hello?

Bye, babe. Mmm.

See you.

Silly banana...

All right, go ahead.

Bye, Dad.

What do we do first?

Wash our hands

and do our homework.

All right.

How you doing?

I'm good.

But you're not.

You know, the kids think we go

to the hotel to let Mommy rest.

I don't know how to

tell them that we're apart.

She loves you.

She messed up.

But she needs you now,

more than ever.

And if I can

forgive her, so can you.

What about your wedding vows?

"In sickness and in health. "

Those weren't just words,

were they?

Yeah, what about

honesty and faithfulness?

It's a sickness.

Well, I have trouble

understanding that.

You two built this house

and this family together.

And just because it doesn't

fit into a perfect package,

are you willing to throw

all that away?

Here.

Thank you, sweetheart.

Welcome, everyone.

Hi.

Looks like we have a new member.

Would you like to stand up

and introduce yourself?

Hi, I'm Zoe.

Hi.

And I am a sex addict.

When I was 10 years old,

I was raped by three boys.

Uh, I buried that memory

far, far away

until someone I know

reminded me exactly

why I had to remember.

It ruined my life.

It, uh, destroyed my family.

I, uh, would lie and cheat

and do whatever I could

to get that fix.

I love my husband.

I know it's hard

for him to believe that,

but I do.

I miss my friend.

I miss my best friend,

and I know that

with help from the one person

that I hurt the most,

I can get better.

Our love is forever.

Always has been.

Always will be.
