Couples Night: Love Lust & Lies | Relationship Drama | Full Movie | Black Cinema

(peaceful music) (hand slapping) (peaceful electronic music) (peaceful electronic music continues) (group laughing) (group chattering) - [Durrell] Times like this is what I live for. Every first Thursday of the month, my wife Nia and I invite our friends over to eat. I call it Takeout Thursday.

It's good food with good friends. I got my beautiful wife by my side, my business partner Maurice, and I recently opened a recording studio. In one year, we tripled our business.

I'm good. I got everything I need. This is what life's about.

- [Nia] I can't do this anymore. (dramatic music) I'm tired of all the fake smiling. Deep down inside, I'm not truly happy.

I don't think I love my husband anymore. I thought I wanted to be with him forever, but now I have the strongest mixed feelings about him. Should I feel bad for stepping out of our marriage?

- [Alexis] I can't believe it. I actually married the man of my dreams. And the man of my dreams turned out to be a nightmare.

Look at his dumb ass creeping with that bitch. He really brought me here to eat at the same table with her? Looking fucking stupid!

- [Maurice] Damn. I got to think of an excuse when I leave the house tonight. I want to see her again.

That private session, (chuckles) that was just a tease. I need a piece of that Br-br-br-bring me a piece. - [Jamel] I'm not this no more.

This is the last time we are coming over Durrell's house. I know she lying. They friendship too close.

Fuck that. Durrell can't come over no more. - [Kate] Durrell look like he's stressed.

I wonder if what we talked about yesterday is still bothering him. I hope he not overworking himself. Why is Jamel looking at Durrell like that?

He still thinks Durrell and I have something going on with his dumb ass. I keep telling his ass we ain't never did nothing. See, that's the reason we can't do shit together.

I'm tired of his jealousy. - [Tasha] Who the hell these people Kate got me up in here with? And why this bitch across from me keep smacking?

I'm trying my best not to tell her she need to close her mouth when she chews! It's nasty! - [Durrell] Who am I fooling?

This is all one big lie. I should be happy, but I'm not. Is Nia really cheating on me?

I suspect Nia's creeping with Maurice. But would they they really do me like that? I know in the beginning of our marriage I wasn't perfect; but after she forgave me, I really changed.

I haven't even thought about another woman. All I could think about is us. This whole time I thought our marriage was growing stronger.

(group chattering) Nah, I want the truth. I know the answers are on this phone. Nah, this is a lame move.

I'm sitting here about to go through my wife's phone? (tense music) (siren blaring) (machine beeping) - If I would've lost my pop today, (sighs) I, I wouldn't, I wouldn't know what to do. We already lost mom and, and, like, Pop all we got.

- I know how close you and Pops are. Shit, he my pops too. I appreciate how that man always check on me and shit.

I ain't got nothing but love for that man, bro. - They talking about how they keep him a few more days, trying to run some more tests on him. I'm, I'm just lost, man.

I, I appreciate you coming, for real, though, bro. - Come on, bro. - Like, for real, man.

No, no, for real. - Come on, bro. It's nothing, fam.

I know you'd do the same for me. We family bro. (Maurice sighs) - Talkin' about keep him a few more days, run a few more tests, and then maybe we can figure out what keeps making him go unconscious.

Maybe. - [Durrell] Life could change in the flash. I need to start appreciating shit.

I need to focus on my wife and our marriage. (phone vibrates) - [Nia] Durrell, don't wait up for me. I'm going to the gym tonight.

I'll be home late. (Durrell sighs) - But you good, bro? - Yeah.

- If you need me to, I could cover for you at the studio. - Man no, man. No, no, no.

I'm good. I'm about to, uh, get something to eat. I'm gonna be aight.

I'm good. Let's get outta here, bro. Come on.

It's all right. I'm good. - [Durrell] Nia forgot her favorite water bottle.

Yo, I'm about to run up to this gym for her. That way I could see her real quick and let her know she's on my mind. (car engine revving) (door slamming) The fuck?

Hey, hey, excuse me. - Yeah? - What happened to the gym that was right here?

- Oh yeah, them, the closed about two, three months ago. - Two, three months ago? Thank you.

(traffic roaring) (pensive music) (car engine revving) (pensive music) (birds chirping) (door slams) Good morning, babe. - Good morning. No, you too for morning.

- [Durrell] What's wrong with your leg? Why you was walking like that? - Oh, my thigh is killing me.

I think I pulled a muscle when I was working out at the gym last night. And I think I may have over squatted. - You know you should probably be more careful when you are working out.

You don't wanna cause any permanent damage. (Nia chuckles) - [Nia] It's just my thigh, babe. It's okay.

I was doing squats with the dumbbell and damn the thing slipped right outta my hand. - I don't even understand why you still go to that same gym. You always complaining about how the equipment is terrible.

Why not just go to a different gym? - Durrell, you know I still go to that same gym because they make the best smoothies ever there. And I'm not giving up my smoothies for nobody.

- [Durrell] Yeah, you right. (groans) They do got some good smoothies. - [Nia] All right, babe.

Well, I'm off to work. Are you going to be working late tonight at the studio? - [Durrell] No, it's an early night.

- [Nia] Okay, well I guess I'll see you tonight when I come home then. - [Durrell] Yeah. (door creaking) (contemplative music) (Nia sighs) (contemplative music continues) (contemplative music fades) (upbeat music) - [Durrell] Oh, hell no!

She was throwing it back in that in-and-out hotel! This bitch acting different. She ain't pull her muscle doing no damn squats.

That's a cramp from fucking. (clothes slapping) (bag slamming) (door creaks and slams) (trashcan rattling) (horn honks) (door creaks) - Oh, so you back now? Where the fuck was you at last night?

All night calling your damn phone and going straight to voicemail? Then I called the hospital. They said you were there and you left and you didn't come back!

Hello! I need an explanation. I'm listening.

- I went for a drive last night. I went and got a drink. If you haven't noticed, I got a lot going on right now.

You know, it's crazy that my pops right now is in the hospital and you gonna front on me like this. Really? - (sighs) I was just at the spa, okay, relaxing.

I had to get these nails together. - Yeah. - A little massage.

- Right. - I mean, I thought that I would call you when I got done. But I do that and your phone goes to voicemail.

Babe. It's just that when I was calling you and you wasn't answering, I got worried. That's it.

Can you just please keep me in the loop next time you decide to go on one of your drives, please? - [Maurice] Yeah. - But you really need to hurry up.

You about to be late. Babe, you know Durrell's waiting for you at the studio. - [Maurice] Yeah, yeah.

What's going on with you? Like I know it's stressful. You good?

- Yeah, I'm good. I just need to talk to you about what's going on with me and Nia. - Oh okay.

Is everything okay? - Yeah, I'm gonna keep it a hundred, Kate. I think Nia cheating on me.

- Nia cheating. Are you sure? - Yeah, I'm sure.

I mean, I found a hotel room key in her gym bag. I ain't confronted about it yet though. - I don't believe it.

Don't try to catch her. You need to talk to her. I'm sure there's some reason that she can justify her actions.

- Justify the fuck you talking about Kate? You know I ain't do anything to deserve this. Like I completely changed my ways.

- That's why you need to talk to her. Look, you cheated on her two years within y'all marriage. And I mean you can't expect her to have to get over that all of a sudden you know?

I know it was a long time ago, but some wounds take a long time to heal. Some wounds never heal. - [Durrell] I never thought about that.

But what does that mean right? That means that even if I do right, she's still gonna cheat. - You just can't ignore her pain like that.

Think about it like this. If you take a clean piece of glass and you shatter it and you put it back together and you say I'm sorry, it'll never be a clean piece of glass again. It'll have scars from being shattered.

A sorry will never make the cracks and broken lines go away. Maybe she still has scars. You need to talk to her.

- Wow. You made that shit sound like art. Yeah, you right.

I need to talk to her. I just. .

. (door slamming) Nigga you good? - What are you?

- I'm cool. - Somebody burn something? - You know ain't shit burning.

Ain't nothing going on here. - I don't know what y'all got going on. I'm thanks for the talk Kate.

- I'm so sorry. - I'm gonna let you know how it goes with me and Nia. Coming to take out Thursday, right?

- Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna be there. - All right, Jamel.

Hold it down. - Jamel what the fuck is wrong with you? Why you driving up all wild and shit like that?

You jumping outta cars running and shit. You got me thinking somebody trying to run up on me, have you lost your fucking mind. - Girl forget about him.

Let's go. It is getting ridiculous. (traffic whooshing) (tires crunching) (door slamming) (car beeps) (keys jingling) (door latching) - Why the fuck it so dark in here?

I thought they had a session. (doors latching) (door creaking) (doors clicking) (object falling) (door latching) (door slamming) - Bro what the hell are you doing walking around in the dark? You just scared the hell outta me.

- Who the fuck just went out this door? - Nobody just ran out the door. What are you talking about?

- Shit, somebody just went out this fucking door. (insects chirping) (door slamming) I thought Scooter had a session where he at? - Scoot session canceled on him.

Man, I know his next one not until another hour and a half. - Well I just came by to drop off the service manual for the repair man. He gonna be here in the morning before I do.

- In the morning? I'll be here tomorrow afternoon, but I'm leaving as soon as Scoot get back. - All right I'll see you tomorrow.

- All right my guy. - [Durrell] This motherfucker just told me one lie after another. Who would run out that door like that?

And why? Maurice and Nia both been acting funny lately. I'm about to get to the bottom of this shit.

(dramatic music) (peaceful music) (food sizzling) - Good morning baby. I'm making you a big breakfast, so sit down. - I'm good, I'm not hungry.

I'm actually running late. I gotta meet the repair man at the studio. (food sizzling) (Nia crying) This booking log should have all the names of the artist that Maurice saw last night.

The fuck? Why was this section for the artist's name left empty? Let me ask Scooter about that session.

Scooter. - Oh yo. What's up bro?

What's good, how you? - Chilling man. How you doing?

- What's this? - I'm just working on a session from last night. - Oh, last night huh?

Lemme holler you real quick. All right? Who is that artist that booked that session last night and canceled?

- Well, all my sessions came through last night. Even my late night session came through, but I had to push it back two hours so Maurice could book the studio. - So Maurice booked the studio last night.

Did he say why? - No, he didn't tell me why. I guess it was for some personal session, but I left him before it started.

- Mm. Well I gotta go handle some business all right? I got some equipment coming in today, so just keep an eye out for deliveries, all right?

- Okay. - Keep up the good work. - I got you.

(door latching) - Hey Scooter this Isiah. Isiah you gonna be working with Scooter today. - Nice to meet you bro.

- Yeah. Just load this session up and get him started. - We already loaded up.

So booth is right there. Take a step in there. - [Both] Take out Thursday.

- I'm just as excited as you. Just still waking up. - Yeah man.

But I'm about to head out man. Gotta take care of some shit. - Yeah.

(dramatic music) - [Durrell] Nah, this a lame move. I'm sitting here about to go through my wife's phone. I'm not going through her phone.

Fuck that. I'm not trying to be one of them niggas. I bet I'll never be one of them, nose in my woman's phone ass niggas.

(group chattering) (group laughing) - [Nia] North Carolina. (laughs) - And then she's gonna. .

. Hey Durrell? Can you get me some towels, I spilled some.

- Yeah, I got you. - This is really good though. - It really was.

Where is this place? - I know right? - That's nobody's business.

- You ain't got some? - No I did. - Girl.

- What? - I have your back. - Hey Maurice?

You got something on your face. Come here. Boy stop, you play too much.

- That is not funny Maurice. - Nia. Oh hell no.

Yo, where that phone at? Unknown number. Durrell thinks I'm going to the gym tomorrow night.

Meet me then. I miss your touch. I should be able to get free after dinner tonight.

What about you? Good. I'll reserve the room at our favorite spot tonight.

Yes. I'll be available. I should've known Maurice was a fucking snake.

This motherfucker trying to take my lady so he can take my half of the studio. He's fucking Nia. You cross me.

You fucked yourself. - Hey, take out Thursday is over. Next Take Out Thursday.

Alexis, you pick the restaurant. - Somebody got a attitude. - Get the fuck out.

- What? - Thursday just started. It can't be over.

- Shit you heard that man. Take this shit, let's get out of here. (group arguing) - Babe what's happening, it just started.

- I gotta go to the studio and clear my thoughts. - Right now. - I can't talk to you.

- Durrell? - Get the fuck off me. - What?

- Bro what- - Everything. Everything's fine so. - We should be later.

. . I'm gonna see y'all later.

- Okay. - All right girl. And you know what?

You need to learn to close your damn mouth when you chew. - Ooh. - Oh.

- I'm sorry friend. - Why you got all this food? (door slamming) - Okay, look, Mia, I'm really sorry that you even going through this.

Let me stay and help you clean up. - No, no, it's good. I'm okay, it's fine.

- Nia look whatever it is. I'm here for you. I got your back.

Listen, you call us if you need anything, okay? - Okay. - You tripping.

Come on. (traffic roaring) (car rumbling) (fabric rustling) (doors slamming) (traffic roaring) - [Durrell] Man I'm tripping. I've been sitting out here for 45 minutes.

I really need to be at home talking to my wife. - What do you want, Durrell? - Babe, I had to take time to think and calm down.

But I'm on way home. We need to talk. - I won't be home when you get here.

I'm going to my mom's for a few days. I don't appreciate you showing your ass in front of our guest. So you know what?

I need to sort out my thoughts. - The fuck? Your mom's house.

See, that's what I'm talking about. Why you can't talk to me to sort out your thoughts? - Bye Durrell.

(somber music) (Nia sniffles) (somber music continues) (car rumbling) (car thudding) (engine roaring) (engine roaring) (somber music continues) (dramatic music) (insects chirping) (somber music) (door slamming) (somber music continues) (Maurice knocking) - [Durrell] I knew it. I fucking knew it. They got me fucked up.

I'm going to make sure they don't get to take one step towards any type of holy motherfucking matrimony. I'll be back I got to show Maurice how you really supposed to do someone dirty. (elevator clicking) (dramatic music) (elevator beeps) (ventilator hissing) (dramatic music) (clock ticking) (Durrell knocking) - Who is it?

But I gotta go. I can't, fuck, fuck. I can't be here.

- Wait, what? (dramatic music) (door thuds) (door creaking) (door slamming) (door creaking) (door slamming) (people chattering) (dramatic music continues) (somber music) - [Durrell] Man how did I twist shit up this bad? If not, Maurice, then who the fuck is Nia creeping with?

Yo I need to talk to Nia. (Nia knocking) - Quick let me in. We need to talk.

- Babe. Hey babe. - He knows everything.

He went through my phone. He seen it all. I don't know what to do.

Shit is out of control. - Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What are you talking about?

And I know you're not rethinking the way you feel about us. - This isn't right, Alexis. Durrell doesn't deserve this.

I was mad and upset when he broke my trust. But look at me, hell, can he trust me? - You need to calm down.

Calm down. Babe, you overreacting. (engine roaring) - This is the last time that we can see each other like this.

We're done. It's. .

. I can't. - Nia, Nia.

- It's done. I can't. - Nia, Nia.

Nia. Nia, wait, baby. (door slamming) (birds chirping) (crows cawing) - Man we should have just told him.

(laughs) This is crazy. - Genius idea now, look at my jaw. Look at my jaw.

Kate, look at my jaw. - I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

And then you. . .

- That's my best friend and I couldn't even tell him that we together. - You couldn't tell him 'cause we not together, Kate. Like I'm tired of hiding you.

Like I got real feelings for you. - What am I supposed to do about Jamel? - What am I supposed to do about Alexis?

I'm gonna have to tell her. That shit's gonna be just as hard. She probably gonna hit me harder than Rell hit me.

- I'm sorry baby. But what do you want me to do? What do you want me to do?

- I tell you what? I want you to go to the house, get all your stuff. Come back here.

Look, we can start looking for us a place tomorrow. We can start tomorrow. - I mean, tomorrow.

That's too soon. What am I going to tell Jamel? I'm gonna go home.

I'm ask him to help me with a U-Haul to get my shit tomorrow with you. - You're not asking for shit. You got me now.

It's us now, you can tell him on the phone later, Kate. I'm your man. Me.

- Baby. I love you. - Kate I love you.

- I love you too. Come here. (kisses smacking) - Mhm.

- Mm mm I gotta go. No, I gotta go, I have to. You want me to pack my shit?

- All right. - I have to. No, I have to leave.

Gimme my bag. I have to, bye. I'm in complete shock.

Everything's moving so fast. I think I might be pregnant by Maurice. I like Maurice, but I don't think we ready to have no kids together.

I need to end my fucking relationship with Jamel. (phone buzzing) - Hello? - Durrell.

We need to talk. I mean, like really sit down and have a real talk. - Yeah, I agree.

We do need to talk. - I just pulled up to the house. I'll be in in a sec.

- All right. (door opens) (door closes) (somber music) - So you didn't think I was gonna find out? Why?

Who is he? Somebody you met at the gym? - Durrell I know what I've done.

I am grown and well aware of what needs of mine I was getting fulfilled. I'm not ashamed of what I've done. I'm ashamed of what we've lost.

- What do you mean what we've lost? - That right there. We lost our feelings for each other.

- I remember when you really used to care about how I felt. I lost that feeling from you. That's what made me wanna change.

And I found change. And that change made me feel different. And she made me feel special.

- She? The fuck you mean she? - Rell.

. . I've been cheating on you with Alexis.

- Alexis. - One day after one of our arguments, I went out for drinks and I ran into Alexis. We hung out.

We had a lot of fun. I, I didn't know Alexis was so much fun. One thing led to another and- - What?

Does Maurice know about this? - No god no, no. You're the first person to know.

But I mean, there's nothing to know because I ended it. It's over. It's done.

- One day after an argument. What the fuck does that supposed to mean? We argue all the fucking time.

- That's not important. What's important is what do you want from us from this point forward? - I can't do this right now.

- I am here for us. I was vulnerable. Alexis knew I was hurting.

She, she played on my emotions. She played me. - I can't even hear you say her name like that.

Nah, I gotta go. - Wait, - Lemme just talk about this. Talk this out and.

. . Get outta here.

(door creaking) (door slamming) (Nia cries) (tires crunching) (door slamming) (chair creaks) - Hey, Rell bro. Look, I didn't even talk to you, man. Real look man, we gotta talk.

You ain't even answering your phone. I don't know where you've been at. Bro I know you mad at me.

I should have told you. I should have told you about me and Kate. Okay.

But I know how you are with her and with me and we at the studio all the time. And I ain't think you'd take it serious. - Maurice, whatever the hell you and Kate got going on I really don't give a fuck about that though.

Why did I just find out your wife has been creeping around with Nia. - Wait, what? - Oh, while you was fucking around with Kate.

My wife your wife been fucking around with each other. Alexis been fucking around with Nia. - Yes.

(laughs) Woo! (Maurice hums) Do you get it? You don't get it you're not dancing with me.

She got caught first. She can't take me for shit. Caught, that's right, she can't take it.

Can't, I am, I've never been happy. What I meant was, I, you know what broke my back that I was being selfish, I wasn't even thinking, I'm sorry you going through this, we going through this. That's, that's, that's, that's crazy.

I, I'm flabbergasted. I, I'm befuddled. Wow.

I mean, I knew, I knew Alexis was cheating. Right. But I thought, you know what I'm saying?

Somebody over here, somebody over there. Alexis is cheating with Nia. Bro, that's, that's.

. . Woo.

- Bro, I really don't know what to do. I don't think I could take it back after this bro. - Alexis is cheating with Nia.

Fuck. (phone buzzing) Oh my phone. (clears throat) Who that, who calling me?

Not about to miss this call. Hello? (dramatic music) Slow, slow down.

What? Alright, I'm the way, okay, I'll be 15 minutes, all right? We gotta go something going on with Pop.

I gotta get to the hospital. Hello, Earth Durrell. You hear what I just said?

Something going on with Pops man, we gotta get to the hospital. - I got you, bro. I take you, go in my car.

I'll get you there quick. - My boy. Jesus Christ, man.

Come on. What's going on man? A1 favor.

- [Durrell] I gotta tell Maurice the truth. I am not trying to go to jail though. Fuck that.

(fabric rustling) (drawer slamming) (heels clacking) (keys jingling) (zipper whirring) (keys jingling) (door slamming) (door creaking) - Baby. - Hi, baby. - Glad I ran into you.

- How was the night? - Ah, my night it was cool. We we can, we gonna talk about it over dinner?

I booked us a reservation. You know the Fire Restaurant you been talking about? I booked it about like three weeks ago.

- Wait a minute. You wanna go to dinner tonight? - Yeah.

I wanted to surprise you. - No, no. Tonight is not a good night.

No, I'm, I'm just not feeling well, babe. - What you mean? You, you been talking about this place for months now.

- I'm just not feeling well. You can reschedule. Can you reschedule next to next week?

- Kate, we are going to this restaurant. All right? You wanted this, just, just you're gonna thank me later.

All right. Plus I, I, I wanted to surprise you. You know what I'm saying?

- I know, babe, but I'm just not feeling good. (Kate wretches) (Jamel knocks) - Yo, you good? (shoes squeak) (dramatic music) (door creaking) (dramatic music) (door creaking) - I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do.

(dramatic music continues) (both crying) - [Kate] False alarm. I'm fine. - Babe, let's, let's, let's toast.

I got you your favorite wine. - Oh no. I'm not really in the mood to drink.

(dramatic music) - Come on it's a special occasion. Let's toast. (wine pouring) Let's toast Kate.

- I'm not really in the mood right now Jamel. Maybe later. - Kate this is for us.

All right, let's toast. - I'm fine Jamel. I don't wanna drink right now.

- Drnk it! - Jamel. I said no, damn.

(somber music) (both sobbing) - No. (sniffles) - Can you uh, let me use your phone? I gotta call someone.

- (sobs) No. (phone buzzing) (Jamel sighs) - (sobs) I can't breathe. - Jamel?

- [Durrell] Man, why did I do that to Pops? I mean, I regret what I did to Pops and all, but going to jail ain't gonna bring him back. Maurice needs me.

He can't deal with losing his pops and running the studio the same time. We both gonna lose all our money. - I'm headed to the hotel as soon as I leave studio.

(engine rumbling) (tires crunching) (doors slamming) - Maurice, bro, it was me. I did it. - The hell you talking about?

You did what? What'd you do? - Pops, I kill Pops.

- Bro what the fuck are you talking about? - Oh, I did it, bro. - Rest in peace, motherfuckers.

(gun firing) (dramatic music) - [Durrell] Man it's crazy how things could turn out. How did I get here? I guess karma didn't waste no time today.

Everything gone. My wife, my studio, I lost it all. My best friend, business partner dead too.

Everything changed in just one night. Senseless shit. Communication would've saved lives.

Don't feel sorry for me though. They was planning to lock my ass up with the next 10 hours. I did dodge that bullet.

They had me on all the cameras in the hospital. They said Pops was doing good until I left. Jamel was arrested two hours after the shooting.

He instantly regretted the shooting as soon as they put the handcuffs on. The chaos left Kate devastated. She blames herself.

Stress and guilt, lead her to miscarry. Alexis got ownership of the studio and ended up going outta business, and she fell into a lot of debt. Over time Nia ended up selling the house and moving outta state.

Took a couple of years, but she eventually moved on in life. I can't blame her though. It's only so long she can mourn over me.

They say your life flashes before your eyes, before you die. The only thing that flashed before my eyes was a simple thought. If I would've never cheated on my wife two years into our marriage, none of this shit would've ever happened.

What can I do now though? What's done is done.
