Original subtitles

I think I was meant to be alone.

Maybe I was made to fly.

I can't seem to hold on to love, no matter how hard I try.

Mother said, son, don't give up. I keep my tears locked up inside.

And keep strolling down this lonely road.

Dance with me.

Imagine growing up in Hollywood.

Tried so hard to do good.

With so many beautiful women. I wouldn't settle down if you could.

I've always lived my life.

I want to be all the man that you deserve.

Somewhere stranded on this open road.

So are we going to do this? Yes.

I'll explain this to you again. She was literally snatched out of her shoes and

dragged away.

That requires equal amounts of rage and strength.

You know anybody capable of doing that?

Terrence Franks, baby.

Don't do that.

Don't try and use me to railroad Raquel's boyfriend.

You don't find it an interesting coincidence that they were dating for

months and now she's been missing for six?

You two auditioning for one of those buddy cop movies they got coming up or

something?

Which one are you?

Are you Danny DeVito?

No, you're not Will Smith.

That would be me.

What we have here is a missing person report that's now a homicide

investigation.

What? Maybe you're right.

Maybe we shouldn't be looking for Terrence Franks to find out where she

We should be looking at the beneficiary of her million -dollar life insurance

policy. Do you have any idea who that might be? I don't. Do you? Me either.

about you?

What's this supposed to be?

My gift?

She didn't know you'd kill her.

This jacket, by the way.

It's a blazer.

And Raquel's not dead.

Sooner or later, whoever's got her will let her go.

So, you can keep your damn insurance policy.

Does that say Omar Pierce?

Did you help murder your friend?

She's missing.

She's not dead. We have reason to believe that foul play was used.

I get it.

You're on team disappeared.

Well, we're on team deceased.

And I've got a lot of evidence to prove it, and I know you're involved. And when

you slip up... Am I under arrest, detective?

Should you be?

No.

We're done here.

Thank you for your cooperation.

What?

Miss Green.

Do you know a deacon, Jared?

Heard his name in the neighborhood when I was coming up.

Please, have a seat.

We're just investigating a tip. Apparently someone believes that Miss

was abducted at one time or another by the late Mr. Jarrett.

Abducted? Yes.

As in kidnapped?

Care to share any information on the subject?

No. I can't share what I don't know.

Listen. You listen.

I just wasted a good hour with you that I'll never get back.

Next time you get tired of playing with yourself, call my lawyer.

Okay.

I don't know where Malcolm is, nor do I care.

The man ruined my past.

I refuse to let him ruin my future.

Look, here's my problem.

With what you're telling me.

You're a powerful self -made woman, right?

You strike me as a type who demands to be kept in the loop. On everything.

So I guess it's possible.

It's possible you don't know where he is.

But maybe you know how to reach him.

You know who I know how to reach?

My lawyer.

But doesn't it piss you off?

Him on some tropical island?

Drinking Mai Tais on the beach with Keisha 2 .0? Spending money that was

supposed to be yours?

Why would you want to protect a man like that?

top young artist. I pay you to scout. I need you to scout marketing.

Do we have that covered yet?

From all, you only have two days and I don't. Wait, listen, we can't lose. I

know there are changes and you guys are wrapped up and I don't care.

Happy you two could join us.

We were handling the... I'm allergic to excuses.

Anyways, as I was saying, FP management lost a major artist last quarter. That

won't happen again.

We're diversifying. Hence all the changes.

It's a new day of pride and attainment.

Why are you still sitting here?

Perhaps you're looking for pep talk.

Do better.

Omar, April, stick around.

I'm sorry, Felicia. The reason we're late is... That sounds like a story, not

update.

Okay.

She's beautiful, so?

And her voice is delicious with the splash of, oh, my God. That's good for

but I'm not looking for a solo artist. I'm looking for my next en vogue deathly

child TLC fight girl.

Come in.

There's a certain gentleman on the line again.

I need you to take care of it.

Uh, well, he's... called three times, and now he's yelling at me. Well, you're

my assistant. You're supposed to keep the old ad.

Um, are you trying to get fired?

Ask her if she's interested in being in a girl's group, and do not screw it up

like this one did with Sergio.

I will never marry our biggest client again. I swore off tequila the day the

Yolanda was born.

No, she didn't.

Better win or you can't, because we all got to lose.

But pay your tides, don't be no fool, make your own.

Don't follow they rules, get your dough, create your cool.

Then they follow you just to hate what you do, but everything was all good just

a week ago.

I think they like me better when I'm broke.

When you said you couldn't make it to the precinct, we just assumed that you

were too busy looking for your missing girlfriend.

But here you are, holed up in her luxurious buckhead condo.

Hey, man, if y 'all don't have a warrant, then I suggest...

Now, what

do you expect to find that y 'all didn't find last time y 'all tore this place

up? What we know we won't find is Raquel Lancaster.

Which explains why his missing person report became a homicide investigation.

I'm sure it did.

I mean, being that you two geniuses are just too lazy to find her. You mean find

her dead body, don't you?

Six months of searching, a burned out car, pocketbook left on the kitchen

Your brother finally gives you the keys to the kingdom. Less than a week later,

the government shuts down the company's assets and all you have left is cut.

What happened?

You asked her for her half of the company and she said no, so you made her

disappear? I didn't kill Rakim!

Ah, there's that frank temper we've heard so much about.

Hey, man, if y 'all gonna arrest me, arrest me. If not, get the hell out my

house. Hey, we'll take door number two.

For now.

Let's go.

After you. Why, thank you.

A condo in Montego Bay.

20 % of my company. Let's not pretend I didn't have anything to do with your

startup. Can we talk about this alone?

I can go if you guys can go.

Leave us alone, Charlotte, please.

Then go.

You can't be serious.

money I made second season was your initial investment.

I'm looking at a bunch of big numbers in your document here, therefore I know

you can count. So perhaps you can explain to me how $650 ,000 paid back to

in full with interest can translate into $7 million?

Right after you explained to me how you would have started a company without my

money.

There is no...

I know I still care about you, right? Get your hands off me.

I'm not about to be a part of some manufactured mess.

Well,

maybe we can speak with your parents and explain to them what we're offering.

I've been an emancipated minor for a year. I make my own decisions.

Oh. Okay, well, it's time for me to sing and you're on my stage.

Baby,

baby, baby.

Sometimes I'm impatient.

I swear I get jealous.

I know I drive you crazy.

I just can't help it.

Sometimes I look up and I don't want to hear it.

But you pull me back. You hold me down when I need it. What's your former bed

buddy doing here?

He's coming this way.

I'll pay you a hundred bucks not to end up in bed with him.

Disgusting.

Hello, former co -workers.

David. What are you doing here? Well, this is a music showcase and I just so

happen to be in the music industry.

How's Sergio?

Well, thanks for asking.

Sorry I couldn't get you a gift before your marriage ended.

Get out of here.

Of course.

Hey, tell your boss I like the new name.

And before we go, I want to make sure we get this part right here.

Said it ain't worth that skirt.

No, it ain't worth that tie.

No, it ain't. Said it ain't worth that girl. And it ain't worth that guy.

Your destiny.

They do. It's good to see you. It's been a while.

The police told us Raquel's gone.

I didn't believe them. I called my lawyer and he confirmed it.

She's being declared legally deceased because of this supposed evidence.

Devastating. I consulted with her parents this morning.

I miss her.

But I need to be strong right now.

Especially for April.

I have always been everybody's rock. I give and I give.

But Raquel gave back to me.

I really need to talk to her so much right now.

You need your friend, I understand.

But hey, I'm here.

And I'm listening.

And we can talk.

And not like I'm your pastor.

But like I'm a woman who's seen some things, been through some things.

And don't ever want to go back to most of them.

You're trying to tell me that little prison story you tell is real.

That's not something you make up.

I received my calling behind bars.

Right after they kicked my ass so bad, they didn't think I was going to make

All these... God heard

me in my dark tower.

Dark is calm.

Yeah.

It's Malcolm. I know where he is.

And you don't want to snitch on your man.

Well, he's not my man anymore.

But he still keeps in touch.

Really?

Hashtag sexy babe.

Listen.

You pray on it, and then you forget about it.

Let God do the rest.

So, what do I call you?

My friend told me Roe.

Roe, sorry we had to meet under these circumstances.

Raquel would be so mad if she knew she wasn't the one to introduce us.

So do you really dress like this, like, every day?

Uh, yeah.

Oh, okay.

Mr. O.

It's Omar.

Barely even knew each other a year, and here I am, you know? I wasn't expecting

nothing from her.

Now she's flying me.

Well, her state, anyway.

First class, first time in my life.

So you think she's gone, too?

I don't know what to believe. We was Skyping like mad.

That's when we found each other.

Yeah, she just stopped.

I Facebooked her, I hit her up on Instagram, and nothing.

I thought I was no good. Daddy told her she was too good for me. I thought...

She decided to start pretending I didn't exist, too.

Raquel's not like that.

I ain't gonna argue with you. You definitely knew her better than I got a

to.

So is that why you're so easy about all this?

I'm not easy about death, Mr. O.

Just used to it, that's all.

I'll be out of your hair in no time.

Just here long enough to do what I gotta do with Raquel's lawyer, then I'm back

to Gary.

Look, I wasn't trying to say that. That's all right.

People are worse.

Do you write of the survivorship clause in your cut contract, Mr. Franks?

Stimulate said if either of you two were to pass on, the survivor inherits all

shares. Now, since Ms.

Lancaster has been declared deceased, cut and all its assets are yours.

My apologies. Can we?

Yeah. Just get this over with.

Of course.

If you would just sign here.

Okay.

Are we done?

Yes, we're done. Thank you.

Ms. Lancaster was an exceptional woman.

I'm sorry.

Well, I'm not.

Hello. You must be Rashonda.

Lawyers. You know, I love the way y 'all state the obvious like it's brilliant

on a stick.

And you could call me Ro. Most people do.

Okay. How was your flight?

Mr. Stankovich, your time is worth $500 an hour. I checked.

I can't afford nothing close to that. So just tell me why you brought me here so

I can get back home.

Okay. Okay.

Brass tacks.

In Ms.

Lancaster's last will and testament, she left you her condo and her boutique.

What, you mean that indulgence store with all those ugly clothes?

Your sister put a lot of work into indulgence. It was her life.

Oh, I know.

It was all she talked about first time we met. But, I mean, it's not for me.

Dealing with all those bougie women pretending to be something they're not?

-uh.

Nah.

I'd have to sell it.

Well, given your percentage of ownership and the fluidity of the current

market... What do you mean my percentage? I thought indulgence was

was a majority shareholder, but her not -so -silent partner has to approve any

decision that would alter the terms of the existing contract.

So I can't sell my piece of it unless this investor says I can?

Exactly. Who is this investor and where can I find him? Her.

Oh, okay.

Her name is Felicia Price.

I'll go get her contact info for you. Okay, yeah, you do that.

You really got to start using that iron I bought you. I did use the iron, like,

two weeks ago. I told you this. You got to plug it in.

Look who just broke the piggy bank.

It's not every day that a man gets control of a moneymaker like Cut.

Y 'all following me now?

Don't be so paranoid. We come to this spot for coffee every morning, right?

Hey, you find Raquel yet?

Yeah. Us either.

Did find your DNA all over her burnt -out car, though.

You know, my dad used to say, a bark is just a warning.

It's a bite you gotta watch out for.

Woof, woof.

Is he talking to me or you?

I believe he's barking at you.

Hey, Terrence.

Catch you later.

I'm okay.

You? No.

Yeah, me neither.

Just going through the motions, trying to stay busy.

I don't stay busy that much.

It's too hard.

I know.

And I keep trying to hang out with Keith, you know, so that we can get

this together. But she keeps saying, I'm good, I'm good.

She's not good.

I know.

Hey, I'll never believe she's not alive, April.

Well, I'm trying to accept it, Omar.

So if you don't mind... Just keep my hope to myself.

I'm sorry.

I just, I can't.

It stands right, sir.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Glenn Stankovich.

Carl Chang.

You said something before about buying Cut.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Cut has the potential to be a very lucrative opportunity for you. When I

this together, I believed in me with my own brothers and think I was worth

saving.

It doesn't feel right anymore.

No amount of money is going to change that.

Please get your dirty feet off the table.

Felicia will kill us both.

These boots are brand new for your information.

And the ground you walk on isn't.

So, how'd the Emory tour go? It was fine.

I mean, I wasn't there to know for sure, but I'm sure it was great.

Brie, you're supposed to be touring potential colleges.

That's what you want me to do doesn't mean that's what I want to do. Artists

to college, too.

Taylor Swift didn't. Beyonce didn't. And you were neither of them.

You're right.

Because I can act, too.

Okay, you know what?

Reschedule the tour.

Georgia State and UGA too while you're at it. Why are you eating this? I told

you not to eat this junk.

I don't have time for this. I've got to get back to work.

Right, because kissing Felicia's ass is a full -time gig.

Just eat and go.

I'll be walking on your water, but sometimes it's a dig in the skin.

Cause you're a nothing little bird, and I'm nothing little turd. You'll never

get...

The peon thanks you, Wyatt, to winning.

He might have found an investor that knows how to bury a non -compete clause,

but what he hasn't found is anyone remotely knowledgeable about the music

industry or fashion, it would seem.

So thank you for making the idiot peon so easy to destroy.

Carry on.

Now... Clearly, she didn't see the hand -sewn, vintage Louisiana alligator

loafers you're rocking.

I know. She must have missed those, yeah?

Foolish. Hey, you're paying for this meal, right?

Bye.

Bottom line, Miss Investment Partner, I know what sells.

I manage the most successful 20 Below in the Chicagoland area.

20 Below, and that is?

It's one of those 10 to...

$15 clothing stores.

Like I was saying, my store was the most successful location.

You mean to tell me there's more than one of them? To speak again would be a

mistake.

Lots of people can't afford to overpay to look good.

That's why knockoffs was invented, right?

Someone has to sell to the masses.

See, that's what I'm talking about.

You know how many locations we could open if we sell indulgence?

You know how much money we could make?

No, but I want to.

Diversification.

That's what you're about, right?

The new office, the new logos.

Someone who does their homework.

My kind of people.

You're my kind of people, too.

Let us do our due diligence and we'll get back to you.

I have zero interest in that.

And I have zero interest in what you have zero interest in.

I

hate

to approach her again.

She scares me.

That was a good set. We did our thing, y 'all.

There she is.

Hey, April, Omar, come over here.

Where are you guys going?

These are those clothes I wear for Felicia Price.

We're back.

Check your girl out.

She used to be a beast.

Back in the day, she was bringing up real artists.

I don't know what that means, but we're still talking to girl group.

Means new Felicia can kiss my ass.

I'm down with old Felicia, though.

She comes to the table, I'm with it.

Felicia is going to be so happy.

Can I hug you? Can I kick you?

You need a backup.

What is this?

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Yeah.

It's not like you're willing to help me.

Hey.

I should punch you in the face right now. What's the big deal? What's the big

deal, Bree? You almost worried yourself just to play on a coffee shop stage.

I'm going after my dream, okay? Just like you did.

No one's in your way. Don't stand in mine.

Fine. You want to be a star?

Then sing.

Right now. Go. What?

Stars are always ready. Aspiring stars are always beyond ready.

So go. Sing right now. Let's do it.

Don't know where the river flows.

Don't know where the heartache goes.

Don't know about anything but love.

Took a chance. I was on the run.

I wasn't running from anyone.

I took a chance and now I'm on my own.

Like I said, you're not ready.

I hate you.

You'll thank me later!

You are about to insist on giving me a raise. What are you talking about?

I signed Tara Chai.

Whoa.

April helped.

Excellent. Tell me more. You can't go in there.

I'll call security.

My lawyer says you're playing games with my money.

I really wish you wouldn't do that.

Korea is over. I need to move on, too. Derek. It's time for you to invest in me

just like I invested in you. Back that thing up, bro. Get out of my way.

I'm a former Golden Gloves champion who still kind of misses the bag, so I think

twice before swinging on me. Omar, back down.

I wish you would jump off, bro.

Security's on their way.

Derek, just...

Go, and I'll write you a check.

I'll let my lawyer know to expect a call.

Hey, Terrence.

It's April.

I know we don't talk much, but the funeral's tomorrow.

I mean, I know you know that, but...

I just, I hope you're okay.

What am I saying? Like, no, you're not okay.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

With so many beautiful women, I wouldn't settle down if you could.

I've always lived my life.

I decree and declare that you, Lord, are the first, the only,

and forever. And for this reason, and this reason alone, I believe

your every promise.

You promised that you would never leave us, that your love would never fail us.

Now, I know our hearts are broken, but that doesn't mean he has failed us.

That casket lay empty, but the authorities have declared our beloved

legally deceased. But even that doesn't mean he failed us.

How do we know he hasn't failed us? Because we knew

our sister Raquel, a pillar of the community, a successful

businesswoman, a loving daughter, a supportive friend.

A loyal mate.

Now, obviously, the Most High didn't fail when he made her.

And I don't believe that he failed her in the end.

Now, church family, I know our hearts are heavy, but this is a time of

celebration. See, she is with him no matter where her earthly body

is.

She never left him.

His eternity is her destiny.

His eternity is your destiny.

His eternity is our destiny.

Sing, Kevin.

This is not a time to get distracted.

And this is not a time to go off course.

This is not a time to lose your focus. Got a word to do for the Lord.

And you cannot afford to lose the way. You've come too far from where

you started.

So please don't let the time you've sown be wasted.

Or think that you'll later regret wishing you never.

Wants to realize it wasn't worth it

Waiting on the other side of this chest Is everything you've ever dreamed

Everything you've prayed for Everything he promised you

Where's Shonda?

Hey. Hey.

I'd be more than happy to give you a ride to the airport tonight.

Mr. Aldous, that's real cool of you.

But I decided to stay in Atlanta.

Keisha Green.

Oh, please.

You know it's me.

And it's really tacky for you to come in here.

You're under arrest. Excuse me. What is going on? What is this?

Omar,

keep her calm. I got this.

You're under arrest for aiding and abetting a fugitive.

Please stand, ma 'am.

Oh, the other idiot? I don't know anything.

The other idiot happens to be our boss. You have the right to remain silent.

Detective, is this really necessary to put her in cuffs right now?

It's not like she's going to make a run for it.

This is showboating, and you know it. Would you like us to showboat you on out

of here, too?

You don't have any proof that I know where Malcolm is.

Next time, tell Hashtag Sexy Babe to be a little bit more careful.

Let's get her out of here.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Watch your step.

Out of the way, please.

Keep moving.

That's crazy.

Keep moving.

We can make this as difficult as you need it to be.
