All language subtitles for Star - 02x01 - The Winner Takes It All.SVA.Lyrics.English.C.orig.Addic7ed.com

If you love Empire, take a look
what happened last season on Star.

I got a plan. We are
starting a girl group.

You want a stage, sparkle.

We're entering to the Atlanta NextFest.

They need to put in the work
to make it to the next round.

- Yo, we ain't got a manager.
- You need somebody who is gonna act

in your best interests and
I would never lie to you.

The winner of the
million-dollar contract...

Big Trouble!

It's unlikely that you will walk again.

I'm pregnant.

I think y'all would be really good
parents. But I'll never babysit.

The next time you'll put your hands
on a woman... I will kill you.

Background starting at the top.

Back to one.

And action.

* Life gets hard *

* You gave it up *

* Now, baby, why you do it
when you do it too much? *

* You want to break me down
to build me up *

* But never did I ever think
You'd do me like that *

* You want to love me stranded *

* But love doesn't need a hostage *

* It's like I gave too much *

* I don't want to work too hard *

* I ain't thinkin' 'bout you *

* No, no *

* I ain't thinkin 'bout you *

* No, no *

* Now, I make time for what
I want to make time for *

* But I ain't got time
For what I didn't ask for *

* No energy left for all this
Love and war *

* And when you tell me it's not fair *

* So is the way you
ain't grown yet Uh, uh *

* You want to love me stranded *

* But love doesn't need an exit *

* No, no, no *

* It's like I gave too much *

* I don't want to work no more *

* I ain't thinkin' 'bout you *

* No, no *

* No, ooh *

* I'm gonna push *

* Yeah, I'm pushing on *

* I'm gonna push, I'm pushing on *

Push.

Come on, we need you to push
this baby out! Yes, yes!

- Yes!
- Oh, it's a boy!

You had a baby boy, Star.

- You got this.
- You're wrong, sister Carlotta.

Move, I got this.

Move.

You took my kid, I'm taking yours.

- Clean yourself up.
- No!

- You all right?
- Yeah, I just keep having these...

damn dreams.

Girl, you know you went in
last night, Star.

Did I?

And, you know,
I've never done this before

with a new artist.

- You legal?
- Yeah.

Well, you're like...

the second dude I've ever been with.

Really?

Wow.

I know that's crazy.

Well, I like to get to know my
artists on my label pretty intimately.

That's crazy 'cause...

me and my group have been at your label
for five months, and nobody there

seems to be trying to get to know us.

Our album is almost done, and every
single one of your A&Rs is a ghost.

What's up with that?

- Can't keep people around?
- I'm looking for an international vibe.

And if you ain't on that
"Despacito" overseas sound,

- put your clothes on.
- Forget international, man.

We're the best thing
you got on the label.

We just won Atlanta NextFest five
months ago. We're a girl group.

Our job is to make an album...
We did that... your job

is to give it a drop date
and a small tour.

Large mountain to climb.

Shouldn't be too hard.

Listen to this...

and call me.

* I bring me *

* Get mine, 'bout mine, go hard
Looking for another like me *

- * Boy, stop *
- * I bring me *

* Whose love is the tightest?
Whose kiss is the nicest? *

- * Me *
- * Whose touch is the rightest? *

* I bring me *

* I bring, I bring me. *

Carlotta Brown for Lucious.

Bruce, I'm on the damn phone.

Hello, yes.

Um, Lucious was going to hook me up

with one of Empire's
top producers and...

Well, just have him call
me back. Thank you.

Would you give that child a piece
of candy or something? Please.

Sit your ass still, little girl.

You know my baby's tender-headed, Bruce.

Your baby ain't no damn
tender-headed, she nappy-headed,

that's what she is.

Bitch!

Bitch.

You just let Janice clock you.

And you even... You just took it.

It is the opening of my foundation.

- Who next?
- Bruce, turn this up.

- The Hunter Morgan Foundation.
- Turn up the TV.

Very big day. I hope that, um, everybody

from all the news stations
will be there.

It's been five months
since the triple-murder

of Hunter Morgan, Eva Resendez,
and Jahil Rivera.

I miss that little brown come-up.

* *

Still can't believe how it happened.

Imagine somebody walking
into your own damn house

and then mowing your ass down.

While Atlanta Police released
a statement months ago,

authorities are not speaking
to the press at this time.

Arlene Morgan, mother
of the victim Hunter Morgan,

will be hosting a gala for her
foundation tomorrow night

in honor of her son.

Did they find out who killed them yet?

Not yet.

Four Confederate
monuments were taken down...

- Where you been?
- I was out advancing our careers.

Somebody has to.

I was just about to head over to the
label and check in with the A&R rep.

So I don't need you to stay out
all night advancing nothing.

You wouldn't even know
where I was all night

if I still had my own house.

No, you mean that dead white
boy's house that was rented.

Lying ass. And wash yours
before you sit at that table.

Bruce, stop.

I got enough going on with your sister.
I'm fighting to get her back.

I don't need to be worried about
you in jail, or God knows what.

I keep having this baby dream.

That's the Lord telling you
you need to close your legs.

Mm-hmm. Just like that.

Perfect.

Now stay.

Stay. Stay.

- Stay.
- Dreaming about babies is bad omen.

Dream babies and real babies
ain't to be trusted.

Shut up, Bruce.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Need some help?
- Nah, I'm good.

My mom's coming later.
She wants to help me settle in.

Well, you can come home
any time, you know.

Can you hold this?

Moving in with Derek is a big
step; it means taking care of him.

Star.

Yes.

Did you love him?

Yeah, I loved Hunter.
And it was overrated.

But now my head is in the game.
We're releasing an album.

And, without Hunter,
I don't have any distractions.

Derek is not a distraction, okay?

Okay. Well, you have a lot going on.

And you had a miscarriage that
you won't even talk about...

Don't you have to pick Simone up?

Signing out.

Be back by 10:00 p.m., Davis.
Don't make me call the cops.

She gonna be calling the cops!

Are you high?

- No.
- Simone.

- No, I'm not high.
- You're a liar.

I've been in there, I know
exactly what goes on in there.

Okay, well, I wouldn't even
be... be in here

if Miss Carlotta didn't have
a previous record.

Don't you dare blame Miss Carlotta.

You are in there because you were
smoking weed in school like an idiot,

stupid.

- She's trying to get you out of there.
- Tell her to try harder.

The foster kid system
can't even find me a home.

My plan right now is to get
the label to give us a tour.

That way they'll give you a
work release to get out of here.

But how? We don't even have
a drop date for our album.

I met with the label
president last night.

You slept with him.

- You slept with him.
- I did not say that.

- Yes, you did, ho.
- No, I didn't.

* And I'm admitting it *

- * I won't take it back *
- You can't do that.

* 'Cause I did it *

* I was a ho. *

We had a meeting today.

And just in case you forgot,
you are our A&R rep,

and you haven't even heard the music.

Fired?

So who is our new A&R rep?

Mr. Holland, hey. It's Carlotta
Brown, with Big Trouble.

We're still working on a new name.

You know, Star hand-delivered
me that music last night.

And when I tell you she's talented,

I mean a talented young lady.

Yeah, I bet you see talent
like that every night.

Who?

Me...

I don't do that.

Look, the music ain't
that good anyway, all right?

- I-I'm looking for a hit.
- Well...

to be fair about this, we've been
working with your producers.

Now, I got some producers out of New
York that make nothing but hits.

If you would just let us
go up there with them

for a couple of weeks,
knock this thing out,

- we could get this done...
- Hey, hey, hey, look,

look, y'all are all out of time.

They're having a big
board meeting tomorrow.

They're trying to get rid
of their dead weight.

Okay, so what if we have a hot
track for you by tomorrow?

Before your meeting.

That could work. Maybe.

- Okay, well, then you'll have one.
- Good luck with that.

I need to bring
my interior decorator here.

We could be sitting on lice.

- Mom...
- Well, we could.

Anyway, I think I packed
your velvet hangers.

I'm not sure if I could have
put it in this box or...

Wire hangers are okay, Mom.

Look, I know this is Trump's America,

but we still need to have our standards.

I'm very concerned about you.
You're neglecting yourself.

I know this has been a difficult
few months with Derek,

but you matter, too.

You had a miscarriage.

Can we... Can we not?

You know, when I first married
your father, it was all about him.

His music, his needs.

I thought if I made him happy,
I'd be happy, too.

And that thinking drove
me to the bottle.

Are you listening to me, darling?

Cotton's getting out of prison.

She's having wings over at her
place... you should come.

Wings?

I'll be at the Carlton. Come by after.

Mom, come on.

All right.

If you want me there, I'm there.

But this house needs to be
redone. It is really...

Girl, Cotton gonna be
mad at me bringing you down here.

She wanted to surprise you.

I ain't got no time for no more
of Cotton's surprises.

Don't Cotton stay on some type of stunt?

I can't with that girl, honey.

Ain't no telling how she's
gonna come out here looking.

Cott!

Sorry I couldn't come visit.
Bitch, I wasn't coming back down here.

Mmm.

Ooh. Mmm.

I got to wash this hair.

- Hey, Mama.
- Hey, baby.

Damn.

- Girl, how much trade you had in there?
- Shut up, Bruce.

Come on, let's get you home.

I ain't used to you
being shorter than me.

You ain't got no heels on,
ain't got no hair. Ooh.

Don't flop down in my seat like that.

I'm sorry. I know this must be
very difficult for you.

You have no idea how difficult this is.

- How'd you get a jury record?
- Never mind that, sweetheart.

She's killed before.

And I'm not talking about
her sister's foster father.

- You just call me "sweetheart"?
- Excuse me?

Did you just call me "sweetheart"?

Mama, I'm good. Go handle
your business with the girls.

Them girls will be all right.
I want to get you settled first.

I even bought you some new lipstick.

Keys?

To Jahil's car.

I know it's no consolation for
missing his memorial service,

but it's a piece of him.

Things ain't been the same
without you around here.

Shoot, Bruce driving me batty.

And they took Simone
because of my record.

How bad was it?

Prison's prison, Mama.

Ain't nothing changed.

Come on.

Help! I want to go to the men's side!

I know what it's like
to be alone in there.

I wasn't alone.

Sweet thing.

What up, baby girl?
Come get some of this here.

You looking like a snack.
Let me get a bite.

You sure you want
to transfer to gen pop?

* Let's focus on communicating *

* 'Cause I just need
the time and place *

- * To come through *
- * Place to come through *

- Welcome home.
- * Send me your location... *

Yeah, welcome home.

* Let's ride the vibrations *

* I don't need nothing else but you... *

Yeah, God takes care of you
wherever you are.

Now, get yourself together so you
can make your grand entrance.

A lot of people waiting to see you.

* Send me your location *

* Let's ride the vibrations *

* I don't need nothing else but you... *

- Study long, study wrong, baby boy.
- Mm-mm.

- That's one for Bruce?
- I got something for you.

I'm just saying, though, think about it.

Two brown people got killed
with Hunter Morgan,

and just 'cause it's Hunter Morgan,

that's the only reason
they're still reporting on it.

Yeah, and that's the same thing
happened to that young boy

out in Chicago, and the news
didn't cover that.

- Hey, Unc.
- Hey, baby girl.

- How you doing?
- Good.

- Good, good, good.
- Cotton!

Cott!

- She's here!
- Hey, gorgeous.

Cott! She's arrived!

Yo, nephew, what's this, man?

You know I'm not with this, nephew, man.

- I'm going upstairs, man.
- Unc...

I'm going upstairs.
This... Please. Excuse me!

Bye... Unc.

You look good,
but you're late, per usual.

Girl, now, you know you can't
fight a femme-appointed time.

- Now, move over.
- At least you're consistent.

- What's the tea, Cott?
- Girl, oh...

Oh, I got next. All we used to
do is slap bones in the joint.

Oh, I'm sure you slapped more
than one bone, honey.

Ew, Bruce.

- What y'all talking about?
- Injustice in America. You know it.

That's all over for you now, Cott.

I wish. I got to see
my probation officer

once a week, drug test,

and then I got to pay back
Elliot the 20 stacks I stole.

How can he even expect you
to get 20 grand?

* Do-Do-Do-Don't take advantage *

* Don't leave my heart damaged *

* A little bit better
when you plan it... *

Man, what it feel like
not to be able to walk?

How it feel to be a freak?

Derek.

Where's Simone?

I'm sorry.

Here, put a little ranch
sauce on it this time.

Ooh...

God, they're good.

How they been treating you
at that place, little girl?

Horrible.

Should have never taken you
away from Carlotta's.

They can do a random drug test on her.

You should not be encouraging
that child to smoke.

All you got to do is drink a little
coconut water. She'll be okay.

Simone.

- Give me... oh.
- Get in the house.

Ruby, you lucky you drunk.
I'd bust your ass right now for that.

Hey, you better step back, bitch.

Mom, are you serious?

You're eating chicken wings right now?

They're so divine.

They are.

Miss Ruby, you really
smoking out my sister?

You better procreate yourself
somewhere else.

You better get out of here, white girl.

- You don't have any old-ass friends?
- You better move it!

All right.

How am I supposed to get you back if
you're smoking weed outside my house?

- Okay, I know.
- This is pointless,

'cause she doesn't even care.

Well, so is sleeping
with the label president, Star.

- Wait, what?
- You heard me.

I'm trying to get
an album release date for us

so that I can get her a work
release from that group home.

That's not how you get respect
as a woman in this business,

sleeping with some dude
that look like Mike Epps.

Oh, my God, he does look like Mike Epps.

Star don't care about no respect.

All she cares about is being famous.

And what do you care about, Simone?

I'm serious. Alex, it's not funny.

But it is.

- I'm okay.
- Simone, you're not okay.

Neither are you, ever since Hunter died.

Holland listened to the music.

He said there's not one hit.

That's because they've been putting us
with wack-ass producers for months.

Well, we're on the chopping block.

He wants to hear
a new song by tomorrow... a hit.

- Okay, so get us some studio time.
- We don't have time for studio time.

We're gonna do this
right here, right now.

- Write this thing...
- Right here?

Yeah, write it in the kitchen.
That's right. Go get a laptop.

- Real funny.
- I like that.

I got some questions for you.

I need you to come down to the station.

For what?

The murder of Hunter Morgan.

Star... my old friend.

I miss you.

- I miss Otis.
- Oh, funny girl, huh?

Watch this!

That's some good work.

So why am I here?
'Cause I have someplace to be.

You said he beat you, but the
truth is you never reported it.

And now we have a source
that's providing evidence

that's challenging your veracity.

I know what that is... My juvie
records are supposed to be sealed.

Yeah, we're able to take a little peek.

And you seem to have a history
of violent behavior.

- Since you were 12.
- You know what I have?

Every picture of every time
that man put his hands on me.

I have every weak-ass text message,
too, saying he was sorry.

And the only reason that you haven't
seen these photos is because he is dead,

and I know he couldn't
hurt anybody else.

Every man I've ever known
has left me, or worse.

And what I did when I was 12,
when I was surviving,

that has nothing to do with the
fact that that man beat my ass.

How is that for veracity?

You can go.

You'd have thought
I was gone for ten years

the way y'all done messed my books up.

Girl, that's your mama,
trying to get her coin.

She got behind on all them bills.

Behind how?

She had to mortgage the salon
to pay for your lawyer.

* *

* Only rock with bad bitches,
bad bitches in my circle *

* Nothing but bad bitches,
bad bitches... *

- You guys hear me?
- Yeah.

I think I found the
perfect name for the song.

"Bad Bish."

"Bish"? Are you saying "bish"?

- Yeah, "bish."
- Really?

Yeah, it's like, it's "bitch,"

- but with a "sh," like, shh.
- Simone.

I know what it's supposed to mean.

- Like "Shh."
- I think it's... Shh!

I think it's corny.

Well, how about you come up with
a suggestion, then, smartass?

How about, uh, "Bitch"?
Just the regular word? The way it is?

Okay, can we use our adult voices?

I mean, who cares what it's called?
Let's just finish the record.

You have us working in here
like there's no child labor laws.

Simone, we're in a girl group.
This is what we do.

- Oh, I can't take this.
- Something's wrong with the song.

We got to speed it up or
something. Can we try 120 BPM?

Alex, why are you back
on that damn phone?

Don't you know how important this is?

- Because I have to call Derek.
- That boy's a distraction.

Don't start. I really
don't need that from you.

Okay, maybe we can come in
faster with the drums, Anthony.

Or maybe if Star wasn't so fast
with the label president,

we wouldn't be in this position
in the first place.

At least I was trying to do
something to get us ahead.

- Come on, y'all.
- And look at you.

You're on your phone now, huh?

I'm on my phone telling Cotton,

"No, we can't go out tonight,
because we are in the studio working."

- Okay.
- Give me the phone. Come on.

Don't say nothing weird
or embarrassing, or...

We 'bout it, 'bout it tonight.

- Definitely coming thoo.
- You're doing that on purpose.

- It's gonna be lit.
- Okay.

Come on, y'all need to go out.
Y'all done hit a wall.

Go have some fun. Get-get inspired.

Me and your mother always used to do it.

I mean, you heard the lady,
let's get "lit."

You ain't going nowhere.

- You got a curfew.
- Great.

Guess I'm-a go out with yo' ass.

Yeah, I know, it's our
first night, I'm sorry.

No, don't be sorry.
You got to finish your song.

Can you hurry home tonight?

'Cause...

I was thinking of trying
some physical therapy.

- Oh, were you?
- Yes, I was.

Alex.

Okay, well, I'm definitely
gonna hurry home.

This bitch...

- Okay, I love you.
- I love you, too.

* Back it up, back it up, back it up *

* I tell all my... rake it up *

* Rake it, rake it, break it down *

* Back it up, back it up, back it up *

* Back it up, back it up *

* Rake it up, rake it up *

* Back it up, back it up *

* Rake it up, rake it up *

- Oh, I know who that is.
- Back up.

I'm white, not see-through.

- That's Noah Brooks.
- Yeah, his boy just pushed me.

Look, this is about the only
club he can get it popping at

after he got arrested. Ignore them.

Have you ever heard his first album?

My dad said it was like if
Maxwell and Marvin had a baby.

- It was hot.
- It had five hits out the gate.

- Did he produce that, too?
- Yep.

You got that song we've been working on?

- Yes, why?
- I'm-a play it for him.

We're standing five feet away from
a hit maker when we need a hit.

Watch this.

Don't embarrass me!

I'm babysitting. That's what I do.
I babysit bitches... okay.

Welcome home.

I got to get a job and pay my mama back.

My manager is hiring at the bank.

Hey, Dallas, I just got arrested
for passing bad checks.

You think they gonna hire me?

Ladies, what y'all drinking on?

Come on, man, you too sexy. You
need to come with me and slide

through the city or something.

* You can't... with me
if you wanted to *

* These expensive, these is red
bottoms, these is bloody shoes... *

How you doing? Loved your first album.

Even loved your second album.
My name is Star.

Noah.

Excuse me, baby, could you move?

We're trying to do business.

* Say I don't got to dance,
I make money move *

* If I see you and I don't speak... *

- Anyway, this is, um...
- Wait. Ain't you somebody's daughter?

Yes, I'm somebody's daughter.

- What's the occasion?
- Figured in exchange for that bottle,

you could listen to one of our songs?
Tell us what you think is missing.

Baby, if you wanted to go home with me,
all you got to do is ask. It's simple.

I'd focus on your next hit,
not your next piece of ass, Noah.

There's room for three.

Now, come on, baby, I-it's all good.

Dude, nobody's trying to go home
with you. We just said that.

Are we?

* What... working as hard as me? *

Look, we're just trying to give your
played-out ass some juice, honestly.

We are in the hottest girl group
coming up right now.

You're a good R&B singer,

but when's the last time
you put out an album?

Look, nobody's checking
for you right now.

But if you produced a song on
our album and it became a hit,

well, maybe your fans would
wonder what you were up to.

But I guess you got
everything you need in the VIP.

So I'll just take that.

- Have a good one.
- Wait, you gonna take the bottle?

Oh, this wasn't a gift, love.

This was an exchange,
and you gave me nothing.

Well, that was a time suck.

- Now what?
- I don't know.

You're the one with all the thirsty
ideas. Why don't you tell me?

You're the one who got into Juilliard.

- Why don't you figure it out?
- Okay, well, first we have...

Come on, now, you ain't
got to be all like that, mamas.

What, you think you too pretty
for me or something?

- We ain't interested.
- What?

Bitch, you ain't all that.
Y'all ain't doing nothing.

Looking like old fake-ass
Blac Chyna, bitch.

- First of all...
- Cott, Cott. You're on parole, okay?

She's right. I got this.

* I make bloody moves... *

I will beat your ass

if you put your hands on her, bitch.

And that's on the real.

You don't want these problems.

* I'm rich, I'm rich,
I put my hand above my hip... *

Oh!

- Look.
- His face, he was so shook.

That bullying stuff is
on some next-level ish now.

I don't like that. But you know what?

I preach the word of whoop ass.
Can the church get an "amen"?

- Amen.
- Amen.

Wait.

Star, listen, you hear that?

- Oh, what, the beat?
- Yeah.

Think I got an idea.

- Simone?
- Hey, yeah.

- Can you hear this song?
- Yeah, it's so dope.

Your part is really sick.

I have it all written out in my head.

- I promise you, it'll be fire, okay?
- Okay.

Oh, you missed one tonight, Simone.

I really wish you were there.

Dallas pulled this man
voice on this dude

and shook him to his core,
it was hilarious.

Out of nowhere, she goes,
"Bitch, I will whoop

your ass."

- He ran, both feet.
- He shut up so quick.

I know we're being too loud,
but I'm-a come get you early.

- Okay.
- Night.

Star. Please get me out of here.

We know who you is.

- I like your shoes, baby.
- Come up off 'em.

- I ain't giving y'all nothing.
- Yes, you is.

Don't you want to be like Zendaya?

What?

I'm just playing.

- Don't do that. Give me my headphones.
- It sounds perfect.

It sounds good.

Look, I know we're tired.

And I know you have a lot going
on, especially, but...

we got to get this right.

I know you probably don't
want to talk about it,

or you don't want to talk to me,
I don't know what it is,

but... are you
at least talking to Derek?

I'm not putting anything else
on his plate.

Alex, that's not putting
something on his plate.

Y'all went through
a miscarriage together.

That's his life, too.

Yo, you have to talk to him about it.

- Okay.
- Okay.

And then let's get this money.
I'm gonna go get Simone.

I already got her.

Come on, Simone, learn the song.

Alex, you been here all night,
go check on your man.

Star, I need you to go
downstairs and refill

all those conditioner bottles
at every station.

Why do I have to work in the salon?

'Cause I said so. I'm-a get Holland
on the line. Come on, let's get it.

I swear, she does it on purpose.

You ready?

Something has to happen.
I can't live like this anymore.

No, no. Mr. Holland said he wanted
to see us before the meeting.

So just tell him we'll be there.

Thanks.

What's the matter?

I was gonna sell his car,

but then this fell out the visor.

I gave it to him.

He wanted it.

You miss him?

Let's not talk about that
right now, Cotton.

Now why are you trying to sell his car?

Because you mortgaged
the salon for me, Ma.

Who told you that mess? Bruce?

You and Grandma worked
so hard for the salon.

And I wanted that surgery so bad,
I stole from Elliot, and for what?

Look, look, I know
you're gonna pay me back

'cause you're a hustler
just like your daddy.

No. I get that hustle from you, Ma.

Hey. We got that song.

- Don't you want it?
- This is not the time, ladies.

Look, you know I'm not
taking no for an answer.

- Right?
- Alex, play the track.

You wanted an international sound?

- We delivered.
- That's exactly what I was looking for

- five months ago when I signed you.
- Five months ago?

'Cause you asked for it last night.

Well, we got a lot more
where that came from.

Well, it don't matter.

I just went up in that
board meeting and got fired.

- Yeah, they got a new head coming in.
- Makes sense.

- Who is it?
- You ever heard of the Floyd family?

Yeah, who hasn't? Wait,
Charles Floyd bought this label?

No, his daughter did.

And she's a bad bitch.

Good luck, ladies.

Alex, please tell me
you know this woman.

Yeah, I do.

She's trouble.

Ayanna Floyd.

Well, when is she leaving New York?

No, I don't want to be...
don't put me on...

hold.

Come on, girl, I got to get
you back on time.

- I don't want to go back to that place.
- I know, baby.

I don't even know what's going on.
It's like we're cursed or something.

Star is still upset over Hunter,
Alex lost a baby,

and I'm stuck in that freakin' hellhole.
And all we want to do is sing.

I'm not gonna let this label president
stop you from doing that, either.

- I'm-a fix this.
- How?

I'm going back to New York.

- The Lyons owe me.
- That's not a bad thing.

No, it definitely ain't. Yeah.

- My wig straight?
- Straight as those people downstairs.

You know the drill. No touching,
they can only put money in the G-string,

and no pictures.

But when I called earlier, you
said that someone requested me.

He's in there. Hit it.

Hi, baby.

I heard you were home.

How are you? Okay?

You know, all we talk about is me.

I want to talk to you, too.

It's like...

ever since the miscarriage,
you don't want...

We don't have to talk about that.

All right.

Stop.

Okay.

It's okay. We're good.

I can't believe I'm having an abortion.

Ten...

nine...

eight...

seven...

six...

five... four...

three... two...

one.

I'm gonna tell you the truth right now.

When you lose a son,
you need to think positive.

Excuse me. Excuse me, I'm sorry.
Do you have any questions?

That's perfect,
just hold that... hold it.

Look out for Big Trouble
this fall. Thank you.

Trying to do something
that will lift people's spirits.

That's the kind of person I am.
That's what this foundation...

Can I get one
of the two of you together?

- How are you?
- Beautiful, Star.

- One more, please.
- Excuse me, Melanie.

- One moment.
- Excuse us, Melanie.

You little bitch,
what are you doing here?

Oh, keep it together, Arlene.

There are photographers everywhere.

Just keep a smile on your face.

You and I both know
you raised a monster, Arlene.

- And I've got the pictures to prove it.
- Yeah?

- Stop digging into my past...
- Hmm.

- And I won't dig up yours.
- Well...

- Understood?
- Sure.

I found your juvie records.

You're a murderer
and you murdered my son.

I truly wish that I had.

Great shot. Smile, Ms. Davis.

Hello. How are you?

Everybody look for Big Trouble's
debut album. It's coming soon.

- Thank you so much.
- One more, please.

Why you got my ass here anyway, boy?

Aunt Carol,
just shut up and chill, okay?

And just remember that she don't know
nothing about Dad's memory loss.

Uh, Miss Brown?

Carlotta.

Mally Mal, you're doing good, boy.

I used to take care of you
when you was a baby.

- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.

Carol.

But I wasn't expecting to see y'all.

I was actually expecting
to see your father here.

- M-My dad couldn't make it.
- 'Cause something's wrong with him.

* *

'Cause he got busy.

Anyway, my mom,
she insisted that I come.

Said it was a priority that
I help an old family friend.

Miss Carlotta,
what you got on my parents?

They're not just gonna jump for anybody.

We ain't got the time.

Well, look, it's still probably
the best thing that I came.

Yeah, she probably gonna want
to see your fine ass, anyway.

I bet them dimples get you in trouble.

- Me, I do all right.
- I bet you do.

- You just sit your little ass here.
- Well, you just hurry your ass up.

Ayanna, what's good?

I cleared the pool for you.

Oh, so you fancier
than my mama now, huh?

Need to get you loosened up so we can
talk about bringing you over to my label.

Well, first things first.
Carlotta Brown, meet Ayanna Floyd.

Ayanna is the president of y'all label.
And Carlotta, she's, um...

Mixed Harmony.

I'm familiar.

Well, actually, I'm managing now
and my girls are signed to your label.

I know that.

And you came here wanting to know
what I have planned for them,

and you thought ambushing me with a Lyon

would get my attention.

I don't like being ambushed.

Why you being shady? Come on, Ya-Ya.

Shut up, Jamal.

Well, my girls have been working
really hard since Atlanta NextFest.

I just want to see...

Set up an appointment with my assistant.

And Carlotta...

don't try to play me again.

- I'm sorry.
- There's been breaking news

in the Hunter Morgan case.

Leonard Kramer has been arrested
as a suspect for the murders

of Hunter Morgan, Eva Resendez,
and Jahil Rivera.

More about this case amid new evidence.
