All language subtitles for Star s03e04 All Falls Down.eng

Okay, so last time you all saw Star...

CARLOTTA: I still believe in Take 3.

Y'all still under contract.
Y'all owe me another album.

You're starring in the movie with Noah.

SIMONE: Mateo's been all over
that reporter in the office.

CARLOTTA: Figured out who
your investor is. Xander?

I need you to run a little
money through the club.

I told you I was going legit.

ALEXANDRA: Her sister Bianca
died in the plane crash.

I obviously can't bring her sister back.

Thank you.

DEREK: You remember anything else?

He had a brand on his shoulder.

- Bankhead Crew all day.
- I want independence.

I'm going with Cassie and Maurice.

BATISTA: You asked me to
check the county jails.

I also checked the John Does.
These were your father's.

BRODY: I love you, Star,
and I always have.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

- [MUSIC STOPS]
- So, what y'all think?

I mean, it's all right, but I
liked the other one better.

- Okay.
- MISS BRUCE: It's midnight.

Will y'all just please pick a damn song

so we can get to rehearsing?

Orange Night is in three days.

Look, I just don't think
this is the right sound

for a gun control fundraiser.

Well, whatever it is,
it's got to be a banger.

Yeah.

Mateo's invited a bunch
of industry heavyweights,

and we got our solo stuff coming up.

I mean, we can't do solo anything

until we get this Take 3
album and give it to Miss C.

Right, but you're working on a movie.

She's working on solo tracks.

I got to have something
for me and the baby

after this album drops.

Oh, shoot, Star, I forgot to
give you this from accounting.

I think this your royalty
check from your single.

You forgot?

Bitch, it ain't my damn check.

So, how much money did
you make dissing us?

Let's see.

I'm gonna get what I
want out of that check.

- You can get a little something.
- Yes.

But the rest of it's for studio time.

- Yo, you got to be kidding me.
- What?

Maurice made himself a
producer on the song.

He took half my money.

Now you can go buy you some real sequin.

- [HEAVY HIP-HOP BEAT PLAYING]
-
Whoo

Oh, yeah, the game was done.
Whole stadium knew it.

Them boys needed a half a yard to win.

Yo, I remember that play
like it was yesterday.

You jumped over the offensive line

like Superman, and bam!
The ball was loose.

Hey, if you got to end
it, end a champion.

- [CHUCKLES] I know that's right.
- Yeah.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Cheers. Hey, yo, bro,

when we lost you to injury
that year, we lost a beast.

I came up all right.

Found out the music
game's my real passion.

Now I got my own label and a new club.

And I'll be in this club
popping these bottles

- like I pop out those babies.
- [LAUGHTER]

- Hey, yo, get your mind right.
- I'm good.

Bitch. I heard you were back in the "A."

Hi. [GRUNTS] I didn't
want to miss your B-day.

- DREA: Ah, thank you.
- MEGAN: Been too long.

Hi, Mo.

Megan. It's good to see you.
You back for good?

Yeah. My law firm's on Peachtree.

So, what do you think about the spot?

I've been working hard to build
my own company, a new life,

trying to be a better man.

I was hoping we could
still have that talk.

Oh, my God, sorry I'm late, man.

How you doing? Came through
the front, man. I got mobbed.

You're looking at my hottest
artist at Karma Sound.

Noah here's about to put us on the map.

- Man, cut it out. How you doing?
- I'm a big fan.

Megan Jetter.

Oh, M-Maurice's sister?

His ex-wife.

[QUIETLY]: Bye.

Man, how'd you mess that up?

Long story, bruh.

[DOOR OPENS]

Mama, it is after midnight
and you still up working?

Look, I got four months to
make Gravity Records solid

and make sure my artists
don't lose their deals.

Okay? Mateo can't wait
for me to slip up.

Yeah, like you did at Karma
the other night, huh?

Mama, this has got to stop.

- You got to take a break.
- Would you quit playing?

Mama, you been ripping and
running since Jahil passed.

I just want you to get
one good night's rest.

You are all I have.

Please, Mama.

Okay. Okay, baby.

Come on, let's... let's get this out.

[SIGHS]

- [GUNFIRE]
- JAHIL: Get down!

Oh, my God, you're hit.

[SIGHS]

STAR: What's up, Maurice?

Hey, Maurice! You don't
see me right here?

Why don't you tell all
your little fancy friends

how you feel so untalented

that you got to steal from other people?

Yo, what the hell are you talking about?

- You coproduced my song?
- Yeah, I gave you the beat.

I was behind the board. I
positioned the release.

I pushed you to get the lyrics out.

That song cost me way too much.

You not taking half my money.

- Noah, watch your back.
- Yo, can you please escort her out?

When you take from me,

- you taking from my baby now.
- Now, come on.

- Forget this dude, come on.
- Which means you're stealing

from the wrong one and you
should know that by now!

I'm good, Jackson. I
can kick myself out.

- No, I'm good, I'm good.
- What are you doing?

[CROWD GASPS]

- Touchdown, Maurice.
- Come on, let's go.

- MAN: Y'all see that?
- Security, what am I paying you for?

-
Whose kiss is the nicest? -
Me

Hey.

You were out late last night.

You out playing cop again?
You know that scares me.

I was just hanging with my
boys, but now I'm here,

and that's all that matters.

Okay. Good.

[PHONE VIBRATES, CHIMES]

No. No. No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.

[SIGHS] It's Olivia.

She wants to know if I want
her to bring me a coffee.

We're hanging out today, so...

Tell her you don't need a coffee.

I'm waking you up this morning.

- Okay. Well...
- Okay?

I'm still gonna text her back.

[TEXT MESSAGE CHIRPS]

Look, she's still grieving her sister.

All right? I get that
she can be anxious.

I still can, too, sometimes.

I know, but she's, like,
coming off way too strong.

- Really?
- Like...

Yeah?

Shh.

- Intensely...
- Yeah, it's okay.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Why are we still talking about her? Hmm?

Come here.

[SIGHS] Why are we still
talking about her?

Derek, come here.

All right, all right.

It's a nice office, huh?

Man, last night was crazy.

I love seeing my old team.

I only get up with
them cats once a year.

No, I'm-I'm talking about Star.
She went in on you.

She's got revisionist history. Bump her.

Have a seat.

I'm focused on the future.
Noah Brooks Night at Karma

is gonna be the hottest
night at the club.

That's what I wanted
to talk to you about.

I-I was thinking we put that on hold

until I get my next album going.

No, I need you onstage once a week.

[SIGHS] Look, man, I didn't sign
up to be no cash cow for Karma.

You promised me creative freedom

that I couldn't get at Gravity Records.

Oh, creative freedom is
all about what you sing.

You got that, bruh.

But I also need you
to headline the club.

You mean to tell me I traded
in one plantation for another?

- You're trying to play me.
- Now, you know

- it ain't like that, Noah.
- Come on, man.

Freedom comes at a price.

-
For far too long - [DISTORTED, ECHOING GRUNT]

- [DISTORTED PUNCHES, GRUNTS]
-
Please be good

CASSIE: Ease up, Mike Mike.

His ass ain't going nowhere.

Plus, I need you to pick me up some cash

- and bring it back here, okay?
- What about him?

I got some time to babysit.

All right.

[MUFFLED GRUNT]

Scream and see what happens, bitch.

I'm not a snitch, Cassie.

I know you're not.

'Cause you're not gonna be around.

Damn, I really liked you, Andy.

I mean, you could sing like a songbird,

and your bed skills was on point, too,

but you had to mess that all up.

I was just desperate.

"Desperate."

And now you done cost me my sister.

I mean, my own blood wants to
destroy me all 'cause of you.

- I'm sorry.
- Don't be sorry,

'cause once I clean this cash
and get rid of your ass,

I'm done with this life.

I'm-a be a whole new Cassie.

I'm happy for you.

Good.

- Cassie, don't put that...
- Babe.

-
Be good to me. - [MUFFLED SOBS]

Do we really need to be
spending all of this money

sponsoring Orange Night?

Look, this is an introduction
to Atlanta high society for us

and our company. Hmm?

Hey, can I talk to you
guys for a minute?

MATEO: Yes.

Anything for Carlotta.

You want to discuss why
everyone is talking about

how the head of Gravity Records
lost it at a nightclub?

I'll get them talking
about something else:

a music and multimedia festival,

concerts, film screenings,
exclusive parties.

I'm calling it Rhythm & Bells.

It's something I've been working
on ever since we lost the tour.

All I need is the perfect host.

Now, we already have Ryan
French hosting Orange Night.

His popularity and credibility

bring numbers and gravitas to any event.

He'd be the perfect person
for Rhythm & Bells.

Well, I hope so,

because your six-month
window is closing very fast.

Rhythm & Bells Fest is money
in the bank. Trust me.

For your job's sake, you
better get it done.

Simone, wait up. You've
been avoiding my calls.

Yeah, well, I saw that you
and Mateo were kissing,

so I guess you've just accepted

whatever he had to say
about that reporter.

I just think you deserve better.

We are in an open relationship,

but we do have rules, and he broke them.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to judge.

It's been a long time
since I had a friend

look out for me like that.

I was actually calling
about Orange Night.

Mateo, he gave a ton of
money to have us honored

in front of Atlanta's elite crowd,

and I want you to introduce us.

- Me? Why?
- Mm-hmm.

For the exposure. I mean, you're
the star of our first feature.

Yeah, but... I-I don't do well speaking

in front of people. I-I can't do this.

Just be that same badass that you were

when you walked into that room

and pitched yourself for the movie.

I know you can do it.

VALET: On my way.

Ryan French, Carlotta Brown.
Gravity Records.

Oh, see my producer for bookings.

Uh, listen, actually I want to book you

to be the official host of
Gravity Media's winter festival.

Gravity Media? Owned by
Mateo and Nina Ferrera?

Yeah, I'll pass.

Can I ask why?

They slapped their logo
all over my event,

booked a performance for Take 3,

and then invited all
these industry folks.

Orange Night is about keeping
our children from dying.

Mateo likes to do things big.

Well, it's shameless self-promotion.

I create platforms to
impact people's lives.

And that's what Rhythm & Bells is.

Actually, Mateo changed the
performance to Alex Crane.

It's all about rising from the ashes.

Alex Crane?

Well, that's more appealing to me.

Listen, why don't you let me
introduce you to him tonight?

We'll see how it goes.

- Thank you.
- Deal.

[CAR DOOR CLOSES]

[EXHALES]

I mean, y'all, I'm telling
you, this speech is long.

I mean, what's the big deal?
You sing onstage all the time.

This is different.

How? You don't even got to stay on key.

- Oh, she don't do that no way.
- [CLICKS TONGUE, SCOFFS]

Don't even listen to her.

STAR: Carlotta, you get a
chance to talk to legal yet

about Maurice? He's taking money

out my pocket and I'm not...

Star, you gonna have to
handle this yourself.

Okay.

Okay, look. We got a change of plan.

Alex will be performing
solo at Orange Night.

- Wait, why just Alex?
- I'm trying to land

Ryan French to host the winter festival.

The only way he'll sign on is if

he believes that Gravity Media
has a strong social impact.

Alex has the strongest message.

The rich girl is gonna
sing about gun violence?

Yeah, says ghetto Barbie.

CARLOTTA: Look, Alex, I
know you've been writing

and you've been journaling
about your experience.

Maybe it's finally time you show
us what you've been working on.

It's not ready.

- I'm not ready.
- I stay ready.

This is not up for debate.

Alex, you need to finish the song.

Star, you're benched this
go-round. Are we clear?

- Yep.
- ALEXANDRA: Yeah.

I'll go get my money, like I always do.

And I got a song to
write, like I always do.

CARLOTTA: I know it's long, just...

All right.

You all right, C?

You need a little girl
talk to take the edge off?

I'm fine, Bruce. Just close
the door on your way out.

All right, boss lady.

[DOOR CLOSES]

- Hey, you.
- Hey.

Maurice send you here to talk to me?

No, I just left some
things in the studio.

He's strong-arming me, too.

- Then walk away.
- [SCOFFS]

I'm serious, Noah.

You just signed that contract.
Find a way to un-sign it.

That's easier said than done.
What you gonna do?

- I mean, you know me.
- [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

I'm-a hit him where it hurts.

I just got to find out what he
cares about other than himself.

- Which is a difficult task.
- Uh-huh.

Yeah. I'll see you later.

Be careful.

You always wanted to be your own boss.

Congrats.

I said I wanted a lot of things.

Some of it came true, some of it didn't.

Yeah, and I want to make that up to you.

I know I messed up when I got injured.

Football has been all
I have for so long,

and then it was gone and...

And you tried to replace
it with other women.

I'm sorry.

The only reason why I'm a champion

is because I never gave up on the game

until I played every
last play in the book.

That hasn't changed.

I need your respect back.

Maybe that could start with dinner.

I am not ready for that yet.

Well, I'm here when you are.

- [SIGHS]
- [TEAKETTLE WHISTLES]

CARLOTTA: I understand,
but I need all the press

around Orange Night to focus on

Gravity Records' social justice impact.

[MEN CHATTERING]

- L-Let me call you back.
- [PHONE BEEPS]

What the hell they doing
with Jahil's trailer?

Excuse me. This is private property.

What are you... What-what
the hell are you doing?

I told them to take it, Mama.

Hanging on to the past ain't
getting either of us anywhere.

You had no right to do
that without asking me.

Don't you touch that RV.

I'm just here to do my job, ma'am.

If you put your hands on that
RV, I will rip you to pieces.

I promise you that. Now get
the hell off my property!

Mama.

Look, Olivia, I don't
think we can really work

- on your music today, I'm sorry.
- Uh, are you kidding?

I'm getting an up close
and personal look

at how Alex Crane writes a song.

- This is everything.
- [LAUGHS]

Hey, D.

- What's up?
- [CHUCKLES] Hey.

I was, uh, trying to see if you
want to grab something to eat.

Oh, she can't.

Carlotta gave her a
solo at Orange Night.

We have to write.

- Congratulations.
- Thanks.

- Aw, y'all cute or whatever.
- [CAMERA CLICKING]

- [LAUGHS]
- Can you give me

a minute with my girl, please?

Yeah, sorry. I'm being intense.

It's okay.

You don't even seem like you into it.

I mean, I'm writing

- a song about the crash.
- [VOLUME INCREASES]

And the pain and guilt from
it, so, yeah, it's weird.

And I don't know if I'm
ready for everybody

to see that side of me, so...

If anybody can do it, you can do it.

It'll also really help if
you and Olivia are there.

DEREK: Don't you think you're doing

a little much with this Olivia girl?

- Why are you so worried?
- 'Cause I can be.

Just be careful, okay?

I got to go, but...

- I'll be there to cheer you on.
- Okay.

- [BUTTON CLICKS]
- [DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR OPENS]

[SIGHS] Uh, I'm sorry.

Your... your assistant
said I could come in.

I'm sure she did.

Um, to what do I owe this surprise?

Um, I was looking for
some professional advice.

And you think I can help?

Definitely.

Um, I was hoping you could take a look

- at my contract with Karma.
- Maurice's club.

I need somebody who knows him.

Like, knows his weaknesses.

Because I feel like I'm getting
the short end of the deal.

Is that gonna be a problem?

Star, you know I can't have you
wilding out like that anymore

now that you're pregnant.

First of all, I'm-a do whatever I want.

And just 'cause I'm pregnant

doesn't mean I'm about
to go soft on people.

And last time I checked, you
don't make enough money

to take care of a baby.

So I kind of got to do what I got to do.

Okay.

Well, whatever you're doing, I'm in.

This is our baby.

All right.

I got to find a way to
get back into Karma.

- Mmm. Now, that is sexy.
- [SIGHS]

[CLICKS TONGUE]

It's a lot.

- [SIGHS]
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

I'm not in the mood, X.
I'm not in the mood.

Look, this is too much damn money.

I'm-a look suspect trying
to clean all of this cash

when you know I'm trying to go legit.

Relax, babe.

I mean, can't I just pay you back

for the loan you gave
me to start the club?

I mean, I can make that happen.
I just need a second.

Well, now, you wouldn't have to do that

if you just clean this cash.

I said I was trying to go legit.

- Did you not hear that?
- [LAUGHS]

Now, why are you trying to be
somebody you're not, Cass?

You're a thug.

A cold-blooded killer.

But you are...

... who you are.

- And that's never gonna change.
- Don't tell me who I am.

I'm not cleaning your money.

Get the hell out of my office
and go back to your wife

with your slimy-looking ass.

Okay.

That Mexican held your heart,

- I know, Peruvian, child.

Just never imagined he

I pray to God and ask why, and...

But maybe it ain't for me to

MISS BRUCE: Yeah.

See, I'm-a say this with love
and I ain't being funny.

Bitch, you look tired.

Promise me you're gonna get some rest.

You can't keep walking around

with all this pain in you like that.

You got to figure out how to release it.

You ever thought about
going to get some help?

Look, I told you, I prayed about it.

Okay? I'm good.

At least I'm-I'm getting there.

All right.

But right now we got to
get you to this benefit.

Get out of here and go
murder them hos tonight.

You know it's a gun
violence fundraiser, right?

Uh, well, I mean, I don't mean
murder, you know. I mean, like,

go slay them hos.

Slay 'em? You can't even find the word.

- Bitch, just go get the trophy.
- [LAUGHS]

- You know, thank you, baby. Thank you.
- [LAUGHS]

I'm-a go get that trophy
and hopefully some money.

letting us in the door,

I'll figure it out, and
then I'll slip you in.

What are you doing?

What are you... ?

- STAR: I'm not drunk!

You're gonna let me live?

This ain't about you, it's about me.

There ain't no such thing as
one kill before I go legit,

because if I were to do that,

I would prove everybody right.

But don't make me regret it.

Old Cassie ain't far away.

Have you landed Ryan French?

I'm gonna introduce you to him now.

Now, you start the conversation
about Rhythm & Bells.

Ryan. Mateo Ferrera.

Mateo, Ryan.

Hi, Ryan. Pleasure to meet you, man.

This cause is very close to our hearts.

Is it? Or does it fix your PR nightmare?

What, Joyce Sheree pulls
a gun on Star Davis

and suddenly you're throwing
money at Orange Night.

No, we're trying to be
part of the solution.

I'll try to smooth Ryan out
after the performance.

He's a big fan of Alex's,

so hopefully her song can speak to him.

- Thank you.
- [R&B MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey, you know anything
about Bankhead Crew?

I don't.

All right.

[MUSIC AND CHATTER IN DISTANCE]

- Why do I got to be the lookout?
- 'Cause I know how to snoop.

And I know what I'm looking for.

Years in foster care.

Plus, my daddy was a con, so
I guess it's in my blood.

Please don't teach our kid that.

I'm-a teach her whatever she
needs to know to survive.

Listen, I know you feel like
you can't count on anybody

since Brody's gone and now Maurice...

but just... just know that I got you.

STAR: You really felt like right now

was the time for this conversation?

[CHUCKLES]: Damn.

STAR: I keep forgetting this
fool won the Super Bowl.

Gotcha, bitch.

Keep Bankhead out your mouth, bruh.

- What's up?
- Come on, bruh.

- What's good?
- [SIREN WHOOPS]

Hey.

Hey, uh, have you seen Derek yet?

I haven't seen him, but
I got you all day.

And I don't want you to think
I'm coming on too strong

or intense, like he thinks.

Why would you say that?

I just feel like Derek doesn't
get why we're so close.

And, you know, I get it.

He wants you all to himself. [CHUCKLES]

- [SIGHS]
- Here.

[MOUTHING]

Oh. There you are.

Listen, Mateo had me
rewrite the intro so as to

- not offend Ryan French.
- No. No.

- What?
- I have this one memorized.

Breathe, Simone.

It's okay, we don't have
time to print it out,

but the teleprompter's gonna guide you.

I can't read that.

I'm gonna be sick.

[APPLAUSE]

Welcome.

Thank you for your
support and attendance

for the gun control issue in our state.

You are twice as likely to
get shot to death in Georgia

than in New York.

With a rate of 4.9 deaths
per 100,000 residents,

we must act now.

WOMAN: Yes.

Please... allow a moment of silence

for those we've lost to gun violence.

Please don't be mad. Are you mad?

That was... that was messed
up, but just don't cry, okay?

I just knew you were nervous, and...

me and Bianca, we used
to do that sometimes.

That was supposed to be my
first solo performance.

Just...

don't pull another
stunt like that and...

and we're cool.

Thanks. [CHUCKLES]

CARLOTTA: Ryan.

Ryan.

You said Alex was gonna
share her message.

- That's a PR stunt.
- Listen.

Rhythm & Bells will be different.

Yeah, you said that about this.

It'll be different because it-it's mine.

Look, my life has not been easy.

The love of my life died in my arms.

Now, the only way that
I keep it together

is by finding purpose in my work.

We could do some real
good with Rhythm & Bells.

That's not who Mateo is.

But it's who I am.

[SIGHS HEAVILY]

And I'd only be working with you?

My word.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

I'm not making any promises.

Let me check my schedule.

Stop smiling.

I'll be in touch.

I came here with my mother at age ten.

I couldn't understand what
the teacher was saying.

It's okay. I get it.

Look, I'm not illiterate
or anything like that.

I'm just not good at it.

And the teachers would just pass me on

to be the next person's problem.

- Well, let me help you.
- No.

Don't tell anyone. And don't tell Mateo.

Or else he'll replace me
in the movie, and I've...

That's all I got after Take 3.

- But, Simone, I...
- I got to keep your secret.

You can keep mine, too.

How much you think we could get for it?

Was he a good player?

Probably, like, 50 grand.

And after you pay me,

you'll have a little left
for some studio time.

You are so bold. You know that?

You finagled your way into
this entire situation.

And you used my lips to get in the door.

I feel violated.

Uh-huh.

Come on, you know we had fun on tour.

And it wasn't just hooking up.

Okay. Tell that to the broken condom.

Aw, isn't this cute?

I know you jacked my ring, Star.

Unless you brought your
lawyer here to give me back

- my song rights, get out my yard.
- Jackson, talk some sense

into your girl. I don't want
to call the cops, but I will.

- Call the cops, Maurice.
- Okay, listen,

I'm not telling her anything,
'cause she's right.

But we're gonna squash this here.

No need for cops.

Yeah, good luck with
all that crazy, homey.

Don't ever, ever take
nothing out my hands again.

You needed to stay in your lane.

Star, he probably has
cameras all over his club.

And, what, the mother of
my kid's gonna go to jail?

Over something so stupid?

- We'll find another way.
- We won't do nothing.

It's no "we," Jackson.

- Don't do this.
- Good night.

Star.

[PANTING WEAKLY]

Yo!

Hey, bitch. Where you think you going?

[TIRES SCREECH]

Damn. [CHUCKLES]

[MUTTERS]: No, no.

[GRUNTS]

[HUMMING MELODY]

Andy, what the hell are you doing here?

Oh, my God.

Oh! Oh! Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Come here.

- [SPUTTERS, GRUNTS]
- Wh-What?

What's the matter?

- What...
- I did what you told me to do.

But I think Cassie...

It's-it's okay. I got you now.
Just-just hold on.

I'm not gonna let nothing
happen to you, okay?

- I'm gonna be all right?
- Yeah, you gonna be all right.

I got you. I'm-I'm not gonna
let you die, all right?

Cotton! Somebody, call 911!

I'm-a save you. I'm-a save you.

Put some pressure on this.

Stay down, baby. You okay, baby?

[PANTING]

- [SPUTTERS]
- It's gonna be all right.

Andy? Andy.

Andy!

[SIGHS]

[CARLOTTA SOBS]

[WHISPERING]: Come on, not
again, not again, not again.

Not again, not again.

MAN: Coming through.

You got it?

How did this happen?

Andy was into it with some bad people.

And he didn't say anything
until he was already drowning.

I failed him.

No, you didn't, Miss C.

Miss C.

[PHONE VIBRATES, CHIMES]

[CLICKS TONGUE]

Is that Mateo?

Tell that damn Latin dictator

you ain't in no state
of mind to be working.

It's okay. I got to
meet, uh, Ryan at 3:00,

and-and then I got to
get ready for this big

sponsorship meeting tomorrow.

- I'll be fine.
- No, Mama, you won't be fine.

Look at you. Y-You're vibrating
more than your phone is.

I got work to do.

MISS BRUCE: C.

[DRINK POURING]

I don't treat you right.

Never have.

Don't try to play me this morning, X.

You always held me down.

And I promised you the world,

and I gave it to somebody else.

You think I'm nothing.

And you know what, maybe I ain't.

Maybe I am who I am.

I'm sorry.

Keep your sorry.

Andy died last night.

I heard.

He had a silver spoon in his mouth,

and he still couldn't
make his life perfect.

Look, I get why you gave
the ring back to Maurice.

I just hate getting played.

I get it.

You've lost a lot, Star.

But with this kid coming, I
can't afford to lose any more.

I got to stay on top. That's
why I hustle so hard.

Or you could keep asking me for help.

- [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
- I have a home studio.

It's nothing special, but it works.

You're just now telling me this?

Yes, Miss No Handouts.

Plus, I got to kick it with you.

But if you don't want to, it's...
you don't...

You talk so much. You know that?

- Let's try something.
- What?

Let's see how long you
can go without talking.

- Right now?
- Right now.

- [HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]
- MAURICE: Mm-hmm. My man.

All right, all right! What's up, baby?

It's time to renegotiate my deal.

All right? I'm only doing
two shows a month at Karma,

and I need something
bigger than your stage

to make up for the
international tour I lost.

[CHUCKLES] No, you got it
all backwards, player.

Negotiations end once you sign.

[CHUCKLES] That's funny,
'cause my new lawyer

seems to think otherwise.

If you can give my client what he wants,

he's willing to compromise
on some of these deal points

that give him tremendous leverage.

Mm. Got to love that leverage.

- What the hell is this?
- It's a preliminary meeting

to get past some of the awkwardness.

Can you excuse us for a minute, Megan?

[WHISPERS]: It's all right.

You sure you want to do this?

[CHUCKLES] Oh, come on, man.
This is strictly business.

See, you could say no to me, but she...

she got your ass begging
like Keith Sweat.

And she fine.

Real fine.

Enjoy the night!

Yeah! Thank you, man. [LAUGHS]

Yeah.

Where have you been?

- I was worried, Derek.
- I got arrested.

But before you freak out,

sitting in that precinct
got me thinking.

I can't keep going like this.

Look, I know you're trying

to find the dude that hurt Ruby, but...

if you get hurt in the process...

I can't lose anybody else.

- I'm done with it.
- You promise?

I promise.

[SNIFFLES]

-
Have passed your way - [SIGHS, SNIFFLES]

-
And you're all washed out - Mm. [SIGHS]

-
'Cause it rained on your parade - [SNIFFLES]

-
Search for strength inside - [WHIMPERS]

Mama, I'm not letting you
stay up late work...

Mama.
