Previously, on The Family Business.

We know you like it, yeah.

We always winning and that's no lie.

You really wish you had our life. We know you like it.

We know you like it.

This is a little weird, Pop.

You got any idea what this is about?

It's more than a little weird.

No, I don't.

You just asked me to set up an emergency meeting, so that's what I did.

Okay.

Welcome.

It's nice to see everyone.

Before we get started, I'd like to introduce the newest members to our

Most of you know Corey Black, if not personally, certainly by reputation.

Corey? Thanks, L .C.

And I'm sure most of you know Brother Minister, former headmaster of Shays

Finishing School, presently the leader of the Black Muslim Brotherhood.

Welcome, Brother Minister.

Thank you, L .C. It's good to be amongst friends.

At this point, I'm going to... Turn the floor over to the man who called this

emergency meeting, my good friend Juan Rodriguez.

Juan?

Thank you, OC.

I'm sorry that you all had to travel at the last minute and meet so late.

However, an important matter has arised, and I need your help to resolve it

before it escalates into something bigger.

Now, as you all know,

Alejandro Zuniga has returned.

I, for one, am glad.

He's a good man to do business with.

Besides, the West needs a stabilizing presence.

Yes, but not one who threatens us.

Threaten us in what way? In spite of his reputation, Alejandro has always been

an honorable man.

What type of threat are we talking about?

He's committed an act of war against me and my family.

An act of war?

Those are very strong words, Mr. Rodriguez.

What exactly has he done?

He has taken someone special from me.

But not the way Brother X has taken an abducted Elsie's niece.

Juan, let me say, if Alejandro has taken anybody in your family, I can speak for

him.

Who? Who did he take?

Does it really matter, Pop?

Juan, if all my family agrees to anything, we need to know who we're

for. I agree.

As one of the newest members, we're always happy to help our brethren, but

has to be for good reason.

Consuela.

We're going to war for Consuela Zuniga.

Consuela? Isn't she Alejandro's wife?

She certainly is.

Mr. Rodriguez, surely you are not asking us to enter into a war with this man.

Over a marital dispute?

Call it what you want.

But I'm asking for your help.

As a member of this table.

We love each other.

And I just want her back, that's all.

Bernie's right.

This sounds like a squabble between lovers.

I am not involving my family in this matter.

Elsie, can you help me out on this?

I'm sorry, Juan, but...

I agree with the others on this one.

So this is it, huh?

This is the fucking thanks I get, huh?

Well, you know what?

Fuck you!

Fuck you!

And fuck you, Elsie!

After fucking everything I've done for you!

You know what?

I'll find a hundred of puto myself.

Is somebody there?

Hello?

Hello? Is someone there?

Hello?

Consuela?

Ramon, is that you?

Yes, Consuela, it's me.

Ramon, are you okay?

I think my ribs are broken.

I can barely breathe.

Oh, Lord.

How long have we been here?

Probably a week, maybe more.

Week?

Ramon, hang in there.

One's going to come for us. We need to be strong.

I don't know how much longer I can last.

I keep blacking out.

Ramon.

Ramon, I'm going to get us out of here.

Ramon!

You don't have to thank me, Sebastian.

I wanted to be here for you and the girls.

We had some good times.

Where's everybody else?

There isn't anyone else coming.

The girls didn't really have a family.

Except me.

We were, uh...

The three of us were... We were all we had.

And... And now... And

now they're dead.

to tell you how we met?

No, you didn't.

It was in Tallahassee.

I had just got home from doing a two -year bid, you know, for dealing,

obviously.

And I was just staying at some dingy -ass

motel near downtown.

Just looking for something.

Just a leg up.

Anyway, I hear screaming coming from the next room over.

And then I hear something slam against the wall. You know me. My nosy ass ran

over there like Captain Save -A -Ho.

Some guy was kicking their asses, huh?

No.

Walk in, these two little snow bunnies whooping this guy's ass. I mean whooping

his ass.

It was crazy.

So you had to rescue him from baby and doll?

No.

When I got in there, it was too late for that.

They had ripped him open like a Christmas present.

Get the fuck out of here.

Oh, and this wasn't just any other guy.

Was he a pimp?

No. No.

Hell no.

You ever heard of a guy who goes by the name of Joey Cinco?

Yeah.

Big mafia guy.

You know, my pops and my uncle used to do business with him back in the day.

The story was he robbed Sal Dash for ten keys, snitched on him, then went into

witness protection.

Don't believe the hype.

It was five keys.

And he's dead.

I fed him to the gators myself.

The girls didn't know who he was, but I did.

They thought he was just some John who couldn't pay his tab, but he was much

more than that, like you said.

And they've been your girls ever since?

Yeah, I caught myself protecting them.

But in the end, it was them who was protecting me.

I loved them.

Damn. That's one hell of a story.

Yep.

But enough stories.

Rio, I'm gonna need a favor.

Another favor.

Well, let's say more of a solid.

I need you to... watch my clubs for me. I gotta get out of here.

I gotta get away. I just gotta clear my head.

You can't keep running from your problems, Sebastian.

Sooner or later, they're gonna catch up to you. I know.

I know.

But when the time comes, I need to be prepared.

And I need someone to watch my stuff. And the only person I trust more than

Maude

Is you.

Alright.

I'll do it till you get back.

Thank you.

I'll text you the passwords.

For all my stuff.

How long are you going to be gone?

couple weeks, maybe a couple years.

But I promise you, I will be back.

At least, if anything, to see you.

Hey, babe, how's it going?

Curtis behaving himself?

Yeah, I sure hope so.

He went out last night and hasn't returned home yet. Probably out looking

Brother X.

Awesome woman.

Yeah, that's possible, too.

He should be home soon, though. We're supposed to play a round of golf this

afternoon. He's going to fill me in on what he's learned about Brother X.

Okay.

But just keep an eye on him, because you know trouble is his middle name.

I know.

I know.

But I will say one thing about him. He can sure cook.

He made some lasagna last night that was out of this world.

We have always known that boy can cook.

But, you know, a whole other note.

I am so glad I got Nevada here.

He and Marco are really bonding.

Ah, good.

Has he spoken to his mother at all?

Not that I know of. Why?

Well, I can't talk about it right now.

Juan is upset.

Consuelo? Yeah.

Apparently she's returned home to her husband.

That's why you asked if Nevada had spoken to her.

Yeah. I was thinking about taking a ride over there, see if I can talk some

sense into her.

I think you should.

Sooner rather than later.

I guess I'm going to have to put off my golf trip.

Anyway,

love you.

I love you too, babe. Bye.

Bye.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, yeah, baby. Everything's fine.

So, Mr. Cora, I think once we get... You think?

You're standing there telling me something you don't even know is fact.

That is unacceptable at this point, Doctor.

And I have warned you about that. What I meant to say.

Don't fucking tell me what you meant to say.

I heard what you said.

You know, you have got... Oh, Ares.

Hey. Hey, Dad. Welcome back, son.

Is this the young woman you were telling me about? Yes, sir.

This is Dr. Brandy Robinson.

Brandy? This is my father, Alexander Cora.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Cora. Oh, the pleasure is all mine, Dr. Robinson.

And please, call me Alexander.

Only if you call me Brandy. And Brandy it is.

Brandy, this is Dr. Fritz. She is the head chemist on the project we're

on. Nice to meet you, Dr. Fritz. I enjoyed your paper on the opioid

You read that paper?

Oh, of course I did.

And it was a great read, may I add.

That and your thesis on the endorphin grafting.

Although I do believe Orlando Duncan may have proven you wrong.

I'm not familiar with a... Dr. Orlando Duncan?

Who's that?

Most people aren't. He's a brilliant chemist, though he's arrogant as hell.

he's the creator of heat.

Oh. That's... Okay.

Bradley, I assume that Ares has told you what we're trying to accomplish here.

Well, only that you all are trying to replicate heat.

Huh.

Yeah, but Dr. Fitzgerald seems to be having a little trouble with the

We were thinking perhaps you could lend a hand.

Well, that all depends.

As I explained to Ari, I was on the team that manufactured the drug. We didn't

know the exact formula.

Only Orlando Duncan had that information. He held on tight to it.

whatever the compound is, it's more complex than anything I've ever worked

Well, perhaps Brandy can take a look. I mean, fresh set eyes, never hurt.

Don't you agree, Doctor?

Sure.

Go for it. Um, okay.

Well, close.

Mm -hmm. Very close.

All you need to do is convert this to this.

Ah, I see.

And then, what if you move this?

There.

Oh, my God. That's brilliant. How did I not even think of that?

It is. It's just what I added to what you were already working on. I didn't

realize. Whoa, whoa. Excuse me.

Did she just fix that?

No.

What do you mean, no?

She fixed it.

You can replicate heat? No, no, no. Like I've been saying, it can't be

replicated without the formula. I mean, she may have opened up a back door. What

the hell does that mean?

As she mentioned, you may not be able to replicate it, but you may be able to

clone a variation of it.

You never told me that, Dr. Fritz. I didn't know it could be done. If I'd

then we wouldn't have the problem. Granny, could you and Harry excuse the

and I?

Doctor, I need to talk to you in private for a moment.

It was nice meeting you.

Yeah, you too.

I did it.

Wow.

Good job, babe.

So, what did you do?

It's okay.

It's okay.

Keep showing me. Don't worry about that.

Welcome.

Mr. Duncan.

What do you want, Elsie?

You were upset when you left the meeting. I thought I'd come by and make

you're okay.

Why wouldn't I be, LC?

Doesn't everyone love it when your best friend stabs you in the back?

Here, let me turn around so you can do it again.

Juan, stop.

I didn't stab you in the back.

You sure as hell didn't throw up the hands of friendship.

You shitted on me, LC.

Point blank.

And I will never do that to you.

I see this conversation's going nowhere.

Maybe I should leave.

Yeah.

Maybe you should.

So is he going to help?

No.

No, no.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to find him myself.

I want you to get on the horn and get everyone on the payroll.

All of them? All of them.

And tell my son to pack his bags.

And do what?

We're going to send that motherfucking Alejandro a mensaje.

Super perfect.

Mr. Goldman, my name is... Alexander Cora.

I know who you are. It's a pleasure to finally make your acquaintance. The

pleasure's mine.

This is my son, Ares.

You don't mind if we join you, do you?

Actually, I was just heading home.

It's the Sabbath, and my last meeting ran a little longer than expected.

Perhaps Monday?

Ooh, Monday's not good for me. I'm headed down to my boat in Miami on

I have a business proposition for you, but...

You know what they say.

If not this one, then perhaps the next one. A business proposition, huh?

A very lucrative business proposition.

Well, I always have a few minutes when it comes to business, Mr. Cora. What

exactly do you have in mind?

I've recently dissolved a relationship with one of my suppliers.

I understand that you are a very resourceful man, Mr. Goldman, and I was

perhaps you could step in and take over.

Of course.

I will do my best to be of help.

What is the product?

Heat.

Am I missing something here, Mr. Cora?

Why do I feel like I've already gone down this road with Ms. Leroux?

Well, previously I only wanted to purchase the formula.

Now I actually want to purchase heat. In fact, I want to purchase as much heat

as you can get your hands on at the retail price.

Did you say the retail price? Yes, I did.

So, can we make a deal?

Yes, I believe we can, Mr. Cora.

Good. I look forward to working with you, Mr. Goldman.

Ares will be in touch with the details.

You enjoy your Sabbath, sir.

Ramon.

Ramon, are you there?

Ramon.

You see, Consuelo, I'm here.

I leave until the blade comes back and finishes the job.

No, Ramona.

I won't let that happen to you.

How are you going to stop her, Consuelo?

We're in a cell just like me.

I know.

But I have a feeling, I just in my heart, I know that one is coming for us.

I know he's going to come over.

Who are you talking to?

To God.

I was praying.

Praying? I didn't take you for that religious woman.

Well, there's a lot of things about me that would surprise the both of you.

I mean, if you take these chains off, I can show you.

We take these chains off, and Alejandro will return to your court.

So don't fucking push it, Consuela.

Bon appetit.

Ramon.

Juan's coming for us.

I know he is.

You hear me?

I'm glad to see you at Morning Prayers.

You disappeared on me last night.

Everything okay?

Oh, everything's fine.

I met up with Brother Minister, and then I had a dinner meeting in Brooklyn,

and Brother Minister was kind enough to give me a lift.

A dinner meeting?

You mean a date?

Well, I mean, I wouldn't call it a date.

You met with Sasha Duncan for dinner.

Just the two of you alone, right?

I did.

Brother Elijah, that wasn't a meeting. That was a date.

It's not a bad thing.

Did you have a good time?

Yes, I did. I always enjoy our time together.

But let's not make more of it than what it is, brother. Or less than what it is.

She likes you.

And you like her.

Why do you keep trying to deny it?

I just don't know if now is the right time for Sasha and I to be together.

There's just so much to consider.

Brother Elijah, if Allah has determined that this is the time for you to be

together, then this is the right time.

His timing is always perfect.

That's a good point.

Something to think about.

Good.

Because I think this is more about you being a virgin than anything else.

Now

that

was a good workout.

Indeed.

What's up, Junior?

Damn, y 'all look like y 'all just got it in.

Yeah, just a little workout before work. What's going on, Curtis?

Ain't nothing.

About to whoop your pop's ass in some golf. Whoa, whoa. You about to try to

whoop pop's ass in some golf. Yeah, I see you found my golf clubs.

I don't know. Uncle L .C. gave them to me. Yeah, they were just sitting in the

garage collecting dust. I didn't think you'd mind your cousin using them while

he's here, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can use them.

As a matter of fact, you can have them. I was just getting ready to get fitted

for a new pair.

Cool, man. I appreciate it.

Yeah. Hey, Pop, you not coming in today?

No, not this morning.

See, that's the beauty of having you run the business.

I can play a round of golf with my nephews. That's right.

Not coming to work.

I hear that.

All right.

See you out in a minute.

Hey, O, thanks for the clubs, man. Yeah, yeah. Planning on putting them to good

use. We got it.

That damn Curtis, he ain't changing a bit.

Exactly.

Oh, come on, O.

Still harboring that question when you guys were little kids? We weren't

kids. And I would have never done that shit to him.

Look, you can say whatever you want to say. You and I both know no good comes

from Curtis Duncan being around.

I'm gonna go take a shower. Give him a chance, bro.

Can I help you, ma?

I'm just looking for Wayne.

You don't want to see him right now.

Trust me.

Yeah, he's in the back. He's a little preoccupied.

Oh, he'll see me. I ain't come all this way for nothing.

Look, ma.

Trust me.

You don't want to see him right now.

Let's grab a seat. You're broke. Can I get in?

Why don't you let me get you a drink or something?

While one of the bros go get them.

No, I'm good. I don't drink.

Don't drink?

Ain't you a bartender?

Yeah, but I just work there at night to help pay for school.

That's really why I can't stay.

I got a test in the morning.

So, what kind of school?

I'm a senior at NYU.

Almost done, thank God.

Smart and sexy.

Now I see what Wayne sees in you.

Tell you what.

I know you don't drink.

How about you try one of these for me?

What's that?

They call it heat.

I don't do drugs either.

Neither do I.

This ain't no drug. It's more like a no -dose or Red Bull.

I wouldn't let you take no shit that I wouldn't do.

It ain't gonna hurt you.

If anything, it's gonna let you loosen up a little bit.

Definitely get you focused.

I mean, I do have to study when I get home.

Then you definitely gonna love this.

Trust me.

I got you, ma.

I can get arrested when we get home.

I appreciate this, Uncle Elsie. I know you do.

I can't believe I let you hustle me.

Where'd you learn to play golf like that?

Well, you know, you never got skills.

Not just on the course.

You know that, right?

I do.

Which is why we asked you to find Brother X.

I have faith you'll get the job done.

Yeah. Any progress?

Yeah. This guy's as good as caught.

You know, I got friends at the U .S. Marshal Department that's telling me

everything I need to know real time.

He has no access to the Brotherhood funds.

Plus, you know, I'm sleeping with his sister.

I mean, he's broke, tired, and he has nowhere to go.

I'm just waiting for him to make a mistake.

Good. You know, with Junior's wedding coming up, I'd like to get this wrapped

up. No, I got you, Uncle.

And for the record, You know, I'm not here to step on anybody's toes.

Orlando is not happy with me being here.

So, I take it you ain't getting my heads up, huh?

No, I didn't.

But I would expect after all these years, you two would have found some

ground. After all, we're family.

I mean, I agree.

But I'm not the one with the problem.

Look, I'm here to do the job you hired me to do.

Whether my cousin like it or not.

I can live with her.

So the moral of the story is you never trust a woman.

It's good to see you.

Good to see you.

How was the Big Apple?

Did you charm their arses off? You better believe I did.

I'm quite interested.

I felt like I was in a meeting at the United Nations.

Swear to God.

Swear to God.

And it's not my style. A little too showy for me.

But business went well, yeah?

Eh? It did.

Elsie Duncan, he's in a stupid business for a blackie.

Not like them TV ones who go around here, right?

Like your daughter -in -law.

Kevin, he's not talking about the Jill.

Would you keep your wife out of this and her supposed struggle? Put a cork in.

Don't pay attention to him, Dad.

If it's up to him, we'll paint the leprechaun on the other side of the

over with Black Lives Matter.

Oh, my dear Johnny.

Liam, get him a pint.

Coming up. No, take a whiskey.

Whiskey?

Dad, what's wrong?

I taught you that business, but I wanted a trip.

A date.

Then why are you drinking whiskey? You only drink it when there's bad news.

See the bow.

Bye.

Good news.

And I've got some bad news.

The good news is I'm going to Orland in the morning.

How you doing?

You know I've been calling you all day.

I saw that.

I'm as good as can be.

I know it's a lot to deal with.

And I really wanted to be there, but... God, it was... It would have been so

fake for me to sit up there pretending.

And you know me and those girls?

We don't see eye to eye.

It's fine.

And I wasn't alone.

Oh, you weren't alone.

Who was with him?

A friend.

A friend.

Okay. I guess that boy real from New York.

Mm -hmm. I figured that's who you were talking about.

I guess there's no hiding anything from you, huh?

Better believe it.

So...

What do you have planned now that the girls are gone?

Travel the world.

Travel the world. Okay.

Well, are you going to go by yourself or are you going to bring your friend Rio?

By myself.

Okay.

I don't know where I'm going. I just need some time to think, get my head

straight.

Rio's going to watch my businesses while I'm gone.

Okay.

In that case, take my girls with you.

As much as I would love to, I'm good.

I promise.

All right.

Well, if you're leaving, how am I going to get my shit, Sebastian?

You should hold you over for a while.

Mm -hmm.

But what if I run out?

That is more than enough, Maude. I keep telling you, moderation.

And not abuse, I know.

I know what the hell you tell me every single time.

But don't forget, you know I raised you.

Come on.

I'm going to miss you, baby boy.

I know, but I'll be back.

Okay. I promise.

Take care of yourself.

Good girl.

I did it.

Tell me you didn't just recreate heat.

Well, not exactly.

But what I created could be even better.

Okay, what do you mean even better?

Come follow me. Come on.

They've been like this for almost two days.

Begging for another pill every hour or so.

They haven't passed out.

No seizures.

And most importantly, neither of them have died.

Interesting.

How you feeling?

Like I'm having one continuous orgasm throughout my entire body.

I think I found the place I've been looking for my whole life.

It's perfect.

You really fucking did it.

I did.

Only our compound is five times more potent and ten times more addictive than

heat. I call it...

Fire. What's better than heat?

Fire.

Dr. Brandi Robinson, you just changed the game.

I did.

And I did it all for you.

Okay, let's be honest.

You did it to get back at Orlando Duncan.

Maybe. But I ain't mad.

But I did it for you, too.

Well, my father will be very pleased.

Great work.

Thank you.

Let's get this money.

Fire. I like that.

Come on, let's go.

It's fucking done.

I think this will get that fucking detention.

Yeah, there's a ton of dope here. You want me to pack it up? No, no, no, no,

We're not thieves, all right?

But I want to leave with my fucking calling card, huh?

What? I want to make sure that they know that it was us.

Hurry up. We got a long flight to catch.

They'll get the fucking message.

Fucking putos.

Turn the lights up.

Turn up for the team.

Buy up all the drinks.

We don't need a reason.

We just need the cream.

Turn up for the team.

We live in a dream.

Single for the weekend.

Turn up for the team.

Turn up for the team.

Turn up for the team.

Turn up for the team.
