Why Women Kill

Previously on Why Women Kill...

You can cheat on your wife all you want,

but you're not touching mine.

I am in love with you.

You knew the rules. I will never...

leave my wife.

So I can tell Rob is still mad about the other night.

He hasn't called in days.

Why would he even be with me if he was so happy with her?

Maybe she did something to hurt him

and he needs time to forgive her.

This project I've been involved with,

it's almost over. I'll be home in time for dinner.

Every night.

It's Hector.

He was the best hairdresser I ever had.

I've known for some time about Karl's indiscretions.

I saw his car parked at some seedy motel.

What in God's name?

We haven't seen each other in years.

Hector was the only person

who ever saw me for the man I truly am.

Stop romanticizing your grubby little fling.

Do you love him?

I do.

- Hey. - Hmm?

You fell asleep.

- Take this. - Uh...

I don't think I should.

While I was away, did you two fuck?

We absolutely fucked.

Okay. This was bound to happen, right?

Since we're all together now.

All right, let's talk about my script.

I'm expecting offers in the high six-figure range.

Be good to Jade. She's your muse.

His muse? I am the one who spent

the last two years cleaning up the mess he made of our lives.

- What did he do? - What didn't he do?

Speed, cocaine.

He's an addict.

One of the producers wants a rewrite.

And if I can get it to them on time, then... I'm back.

And the money that will follow, Jade, I can take care of you.

That girl April is on line one.

Tell her I'm in a meeting.

You were out late last night.

Who were you with?

Just some of the guys from the track team.

Eli, what are you doing out so early?

Oh, just going for a jog.

- You're it! - No, you're it!

So, can you ring me up for that, ma'am?

- Bethany. - Oh.

Thank you for meeting me.

Yeah. I was... I was a little surprised to get your text.

It's, um, it's been a minute.

Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry about that.

I know I kind of disappeared there.

Yeah. Thought maybe you had, uh, found someone else.

No, no, nothing like that. I just, you know...

Took a different path for a while.

- Yeah. Yeah. - Yeah.

All right, Tanya,

listen to me.

You're gonna go play with your friends while Mommy

talks to her friend, okay?

- Okay. - Oh, big girl.

I see them on the playground.

You better go.

Oh, my God.

She's so big.

I know.

In my head, I still think of her as a baby.

Yeah, well, 24 months is like a lifetime in kid-years.

Yeah.

Okay, so I got this shit from Mexico.

It's stepped on a little bit, but it's good.

Just, like, 15% baby laxatives.

It'll definitely get you high.

But this shit

just fell off the back of a fucking boat from Colombia.

Okay, all I did was chop it up and bag it,

and I swear to God, Eli,

the second you open it, your entire face goes numb.

Okay, how much?

Give you an eight ball for 300?

Or I can do two for five.

That's the best I can do, though.

I'm trying to save for Tanya's college fund.

Well, you're a good mom.

Mm.

All right, I'll take two.

Nice to have you back.

Karl.

We need to talk.

Bloody hell, it's 7:00 in the morning.

I was so angry with you last night.

The way you spoke to me.

Look, Simone...

I was up all night thinking to myself,

"I wish I'd never married that man.

He's stolen the last ten years of my life."

All right, I'm sorry.

Here, put that on.

- Why? - Just do it.

All right.

Then I started thinking about our time together.

You taught me how to ski...

... how to tango.

Hmm. How to speak French.

Asking for more chardonnay is not really speaking French.

Most importantly,

you taught me how to laugh at myself.

The truth is, you haven't stolen anything from me.

If anything,

you've given me more than I deserved.

I'm sorry, the suspense is slightly killing me now.

Where is this going?

Follow me.

Just to be clear, I still think we should get a divorce.

Uh, yes, I assumed as much.

But just because I can't have you as a husband

doesn't mean I can't have you as a friend.

And I do like to keep my friends happy.

Hector.

Hello, Karl.

I have never loved you more than I do in this moment.

Please, Karl, not in front of the boyfriend.

Hello.

Sheila.

Your apartment manager told me you were down here.

I was hoping we could get lunch.

Ugh. Sorry, I just got called into work.

Two waitresses are sick.

I have to clean my uniform and get over to Glendale.

It's fine. We can catch up another time.

Well, there's certainly a lot to catch up on.

Has something happened?

Mrs. Persky...

I need you to leave.

Why?

I need to talk to my friend.

What about?

It's private.

So sex, huh?

Just go!

You seem... irritable.

Rob dumped me.

He did?

Yeah, he sent roses with a note

saying, "I can't keep seeing you, please forgive me."

Oh, well, you knew this day was coming.

Yeah. I just thought he would be man enough

to tell me to my face.

You know, I phoned him at his work yesterday ten times.

His secretary, Claire, won't put me through.

Well, honey, it is time to move on.

- You don't want to embarrass yourself. - Well...

Yeah.

What are you doing back here?

I brought my husband.

I want him to see how you talk to me.

I should go. I'll call you later.

- Thanks. - Sorry...

Aw, why the long face?

Did your fella dump you?

Your wife is a horrible person. Do you know that?

Yeah, I'm aware.

I thought we were excited about the offer.

No, no.

Look, of-of course I trust you.

Yeah. I mean, do your thing. Okay.

All right, bye.

Oh, shit.

Is everything all right?

Hey. Uh, yes.

Yeah, there's-there's an offer on the table for the script.

But Lamar wants to hold out for more money,

which, you know, makes me kind of nervous.

What are you on right now?

What? Nothing.

Oh, yeah? Then what's this, then?

Hmm?

It-it... it's a heavy pollen year.

Dude...

It's been on the news.

We are on the same team.

I cannot cover for you if you're gonna be stupid about it.

All right, I'm sorry.

The addy wasn't cutting it for me anymore,

so I just... I needed something a little bit stronger.

Why? The script is done.

Guys?

Yeah, we're in here.
