she should know.

She should know

what she's getting into, right?

Look look. We don't even know her

and we don't even owe her anything

to even explain

what happened with Autumn,

make her relive

the experience, so...

I don't think we really need

to explain anything.

I'm gonna let you guys

eat your lunch. Thanks.

Skylar, wait.

Look, I'm sorry.

She's my cousin.

I get a little protective.

But I do think

that you should know

what you're getting yourself

into before you go too deep.

Please stay.

Honestly, I really didn't know.

If you don't mind me asking,

what happened?

That's a very good question.

Honestly, I don't know

what happened.

We got into this fight,

and then the next thing I know

he's like cursing me out in public,

throwing my things out,

calling out my name.

It's just-- what I thought was a little

fight was the end of my relationship.

Is that what happened

the other night?

Yup.

(sighs) I wish someone would've

given me the heads up

about Dallas.

I hate that motherf***er.

I really do hate him.

I'm sorry. I hate him.

- Hate him.

- I'm sorry. Who's Dallas?

He's one of Prime's friends.

(sighs)

Seriously, just like Autumn,

for the first couple of months

he was like a f***ing unicorn.

I mean, calling two,

three times a day,

emailing-- the whole nine.

Then I spent the night with him

and guess what.

The whole next day, nothing.

So Mira and I go to the bar,

get a few drinks.

And he is cuddled up

with some other chick

wearing the exact same

bracelet he gave me.

So anyways, I confronted him

and he basically had me

in the bathroom crying.

And that's when Mira

and Autumn were like--

I'm sorry, Dylan was there too, sorry--

"Go out there and confront him.

He's out there having

a great time with those girls."

She actually looked like a hooker.

Anyways, so I went out there

and I called him out on his sh*t.

I handled some business,

didn't I, girls?

- She did too.

- Carnegie:
I did.

But that's exactly

what she should've done,

because those guys--

they do it to everybody,

they get away with it

and nobody says anything.

Dallas, Kalif, Prime--

- I don't know about Lonzo.

- Birds of a feather do flock together.

- Hey, watch it.

- Carnegie:
Yes they do.

- We don't know. We don't know.

- They do.

- We need to put a stop to it.

- Mira:
That's like saying

I'm drinking as much

as this one over here.

- Girl, you go.

- What?

Really? Birds of a feather

flock together?

- Cut off.

- I'm celebrating.

- I'm celebrating.

- Oh, hold on.

Look, all the ladies are trying

to say is just be careful.

That's all.

Okay. Thanks.

I'm gonna go.

It was nice meeting you ladies.

- I'm sorry if we--

- Katalina:
Nice meeting you too.

- Just letting you know.

- It was-- yeah.

- Just take care.

- Thanks.

How is it that you're not

like Kalif, Dallas and Prime?

What do you mean?

(snorts)

Look, I've known

you guys for a while now

and you know they're shady.

I wouldn't even talk to you

if I thought you were like them.

- Katalina, they are not shady.

- Tsk.

They're not. I'm telling you.

Look, I've known those guys

my whole life, practically.

I met Prime when I was

eight years old, for crying out loud.

I used to be taller

than that fool back then.

- (snickers)

- I swear to God.

- Then we met Kalif in high school...

- Wow.

...and Dallas in college.

They're good guys.

Their problem is they love women.

What's so bad about that?

Okay, but...

let's say a girl

really really likes a guy

and she's in it

for all the right reasons.

- Mm-hmm.

- They're just chilling,

seeing where things go.

And they finally sleep together,

then he dumps her.

Someone that

does this repeatedly...

- Mm-hmm.

- ...that's a good guy?

That's not fair. It's not.

- Mm-hmm.

- It's not.

Besides, Autumn brought

that sh*t upon herself.

- You know that.

- I know for a fact

that Autumn is not the only

woman he's done that to.

Okay okay, first off--

first off--

you can't say that. It's a completely

different situation, babe.

All right? Think about it.

They were dating for over a year.

- Right?

- Yeah.

Okay, and he was

really good to her.

Look, regardless of all this crap,

that's their life, right?

What happened between them

is between them.

I'm cool with that.

(both chuckle)

Look, what you need

to be focusing on right now

is not what Prime and Autumn

were doing.

(Katalina laughs)

Mmm, it's that you will

never do that to me.

- You understand me?

- (sighs)

You know I won't, baby.

- You promise?

- I promise.

C'mon.

(chuckles)

(sighs)

(birds chirping)

- What are you doing here, Autumn?

- Nice new car.

Yeah.

What are you doing here?

(sighs) Why haven't you returned

any of my phone calls?

I tried to contact you

for over a month now.

I got your emails,

I got your messages,

- but Prime insists that we don't speak.

- (laughs)

And being that things

are really good with us...

- Ah.

- ...I don't think that we should either.

Okay. Oh, I see.

Look, I'm not trying

to tell you anything.

Okay? I just have something

you simply need to see.

- We'll just take a short ride.

- (laughs)

It won't take long

and I will never bother you again.

Okay, you're crazy if you think

I'm going anywhere with you.

No one asked you to.

You have a fancy new car.

Follow me. Trust me,

you'll wanna see this.

(hip-hop music playing)

(car door opens)

(people chattering)

(kids playing)

Okay, so you brought me

to a kid's birthday party.

Autumn:

Look a little bit closer.

Prime:

Now shoot. Shoot. Oh!

I think we gotta get it again.

Come on.

All right, there you go.

(laughs)

Oh, good job, little fella.

- Dallas:
Guys, hey.

- Prime:
Go on wit' your mommy.

Woman:
Let's go.

Hey, Skylar, Skylar,

you don't wanna do this right here.

Hey, wait a sec, wait a sec.

Wait. Whoa whoa whoa whoa.

- Prime:
Skylar, Skylar.

- Really? Really, Prime?

- Look, baby, I can explain.

- Explain what?

That you have a wife?

That you have kids?

- Uh...

- How are you gonna explain this?

- I can't. Not here.

- (crying) I trusted you.

Everybody tried to warn me

and I trusted you.

You know what, Skylar?

Please,

- let me take you home.

- Stop stop.

Look--

What is wrong with you?

Why would you do this?

I'm not one of these groupie girls

out here trying to trap you.

- Why would you treat me like I was one?

- Skylar. Baby, listen.

Look, let's just talk

about this later.

All right? Just--

it's not what it looks like.

I have listened

to everything that you said,

every single thing

that you have told me.

I listened and I believed you.

What is wrong with you?

You have a family, Prime.

You have a f***ing family.

- Prime:
Uh...

- I hate you.

(guitar ballad playing)

Looking back

it's all clear to me

Should have known it all along...

I trusted him.

Like...

I did everything

that I could for him,

and he still did this.

They always win.

At least you found out now

and not like a year from now.
