[relaxed music] ? Joke got us

? Yeah, we living good over here ?

? And be a mood out here

? Kick back, we're living in that California dream ?

? Keep the vibes right

? Feel the breeze and palm trees ?

[car engine drowns out music]

[gentle music]

- Hey, Daddy.

[gentle music]

[gentle music continues]

[club taps ball]

[ball taps against glass]

- Yes. And did that with a wedge.

Oh right.

Looking good, Chef.

- Did it have to be so performative?

Your whole speech just parading him

in front of the team, like-

- An example needed to be made.

Every organization is only as strong

as its weakest link.

- Okay, I just feel like,

like you couldn't have just given him a warning?

Did you really have to go out and

terminate Quill?

- Sweetheart, let's not discuss business during family time.

- Because there's nothing to discuss.

He knew what the stakes were

and if there was any question, now you all do.

- Okay. Well, it was just a bit much.

- Enough, Yari.

- What aren't we discussing now?

- Ah, Rose. Hey, son, how are you?

Listen, this weekend, I'm thinking about hitting the green

if you wanna get a few rounds in

- Pops, I got talent, but golf ain't one of 'em.

- Listen, I can teach you. You'd love it.

- All right, let's go. - Really?

- Yeah, yeah. Come on. - Yeah? Okay, let's do it.

Hey, it's gonna be a good time.

[Franklin chuckles]

Yes.

- So, Chase is MIA again?

- If your brother's held up, it's for a good reason.

He's got a lot on his plate.

[suspenseful music]

[Chase and partner grunt and moan]

[phone buzzes]

- Where you going?

[ice clinks against glass]

? If I'm gonna risk it all

? Might as well go crazy in it

? There is no rose without thorns ?

? The rose colored glasses, I see the future ?

? This is the wild rose

? I've been trying to wind time ?

? But baby it's too late

? If I'm gonna risk it all

? Might as well go crazy in it

? Since I'm all the way deep inside ?

? I might as well go crazy

? 'Bout to go crazy in it

- I won't be too long.

So I will leave here after I eat

and then we can go to the thrift store

and grab some new used clothes.

Yes.

[door whooshes]

Okay. I gotta go.

Talk to you later. Love you.

- Oh, you don't gotta hang up on account of me.

- That's fine. - Kelly.

I presume she's a regular citizen

that likes to make you happy.

- Kelci. - Oh my bad, my bad.

Kelci, Kelci.

- Mama's old school.

I mean, anything that would distract me

from slaving away at Civil.

- Right. Facts.

[birds chirp]

- Now I know we're programmed to be who we are,

but I'm not gonna pretend like it doesn't take its toll.

[birds chirp]

[suspenseful music]

- So, anything?

- Nothing viable. Not yet.

- What about the passport?

- Another false lead.

I mean they gotta be off the grid,

which makes sense if Summer doesn't want to be found.

- We are in the business of finding people.

It's what you do best.

- And it's a big world, Rose.

Summer will find the help when she needs it.

- I just want my daughter back.

[birds chirp]

- And maybe sometimes what's best for other people

isn't what's best for us.

[birds chirp]

[engine whirs]

- The golden child has arrived

and graced us with his presence.

[engine whirs]

? Yeah, I'mma flex

? Run it up, flex

? Cash out, flex

? No bad, flex

? Nowhere, flex

? New chick, flex

? Bank robbed

- [Chase] Tops, family.

- You're late. - But I'm here though.

- Did you wash your hands? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

My hands are clean.

- You got the fastest car west of the 405

and you can't be on time?

- I can't rush perfection.

What's up, little bro? What's up, sis?

- So you ready to hand over them keys yet?

- A V12 is not like a V6, sis. It's a lot of power.

You might not be able to handle that.

- Which comes with a lot of responsibility

and you have a responsibility to keep a low profile.

- Come on, Pop.

Let me live. Damn.

Besides we live in LA, not Jackson, Mississippi.

Kids get a Ferrari for their sweet 16

and you stand out if you don't have one.

- I guess we sore thumbs, huh, sis?

- Right. - Yeah.

- Your brother deserves

to enjoy the fruits of his labor a little.

We all do.

- Well, don't worry about me, baby.

'Cause my downtime is coming.

- You guys gonna finally plan that trip?

- We've been talking about his retirement.

- Well, she's been talking. I've been planning.

- How is that going to work?

The only way out of Civil-

- Is death.

Now listen, I'm not leaving Civil,

I'm just stepping down from my post as Civil chair

and into a more advisory position.

You know my trigger finger ain't as sturdy as it used to be.

This is a young man game.

From here on out,

the only games I wanna be playing is golf

and strip poker with my honey dear.

- Which means we've also been talking about

who will take over the helm in his place.

- Yeah, and I think it's time for us

to bring you all into the conversation.

- We're continuing to grow as an organization

and I can't handle it all by myself.

We need strong leadership

and ultimately, we know all of your strengths

and your weaknesses.

And so we've decided that right now,

Chase is best suited for a leadership position.

- Clearly I'm the most qualified.

Heavy is the head, right?

- Wait, so what does this mean?

- That your father and I will be training Chase

to oversee operatives and giving him clearance

and authority to make assignments.

- So we're gonna be taking orders from Chase now?

- I don't understand your indignation.

I'm about to take it as disrespect.

- You should. - Yeah.

This shit ain't gonna work for me.

- Son.

- This is not a vote, Roosevelt. It's already done.

It's been done.

We're just giving you the courtesy of telling you first.

- You thought you'd be a better option

after Bolden damn near took you out?

- That's enough, Chase. - No,

we should talk about it though.

How's that wound healing up, Rose.

Now you have so much to say,

but how you let a target get away

and got hit in the process is off limits?

Imagine Civil with that kind of leadership.

- I cannot.

- Couldn't have been me.

Never missed a target.

Besides, isn't that why Summer and your daughter left you?

- [Rose] Shut the fuck up, bro.

- Wait. Rose, stop it. - Stop it, Rose.

- I'm not gonna have shit outta you two.

Stop it now.

- Fucking favorite ass son. I'm out.

- [Franklin] Rose.

- Really?

- Rose.

- Hot headed.

- Rose, can I offer you a drink?

- [Rose] I'll pass on that.

- Oh, that was your first test. I could have poisoned you.

Smart man. So I'm gonna be honest with you.

I was expecting someone just a little bigger.

I mean, you don't look like a bodyguard to me.

I mean, I feel like I could take you out back

and give you a good old fashioned South Central beat down,

respectfully, of course.

- I like your confidence,

but you will learn from that mistake, respectfully.

- From what I hear, I should be thanking you.

You did a solid for Somaya.

- I was just doing my job.

- Well, Rose, this type of security job

entails a lot more than bouncing at a strip club, okay?

What worked over there might not work in our world.

- What world is that?

- The music game is a motherfucker, man.

The money, the exposure.

Everybody wants a piece of the pie.

Some people even take your life for it.

You can trust no one.

- Not even you?

[Bingo chuckles]

- Oh, Rose. No one except me.

- Well, at the end of the day, it's my job

to make sure that my client gets home safe.

- Okay.

Well, full transparency,

protecting Somaya ain't for the weak.

She gives zero fucks,

which sometimes don't make shit easy for us.

Aside of making sure she's at where she's supposed to be,

half the damn job is protecting her from herself.

- Luckily for you, ain't nothing weak about me.

So what's the other part?

- All the wild shit, the aggressive Paps.

You got the fans, you got the stalkers.

Then you got these fucking blogs

that's always trying to catch her in something

to fuck up the brand.

What about you?

What's your background, your training?

What makes you think I'm gonna feel comfortable

with your little ass guarding a artist of Somaya's caliber?

- I pay attention to detail.

Your security here, for instance.

Your exterior cameras,

they have a blind spot on the southeast corner

which compromises your freight entrance.

If someone wanted to get to you,

all they had to do was follow a delivery truck in,

get past the suit on the first floor,

which I did by flashing this empty lanyard.

Then from the south stairwell,

that someone could be standing in your office

without even passing your reception.

Two minutes tops.

[suspenseful music]

Listen, you requested this meeting, right?

So you already know what I'm capable of.

- Well, actually, I didn't. Somaya did.

Now, I'm just here signing off

because she happens to be our label's hottest commodity

and also the love of my life.

So when I'm bringing in someone,

I have to make sure protecting her

is his highest priority.

And let's just say the price for failing me

can only be paid in blood.

[suspenseful music]

Send Somaya in.

- [Receptionist] Yes, sir. Right away.

- Still no drink?

- Still no.

[tense music]

- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you, as well.

[relaxed music]

How's your head?

- Better, much.

- Somaya, we were just wrapping up.

I just want you to come in and see

if there's any more questions you need to ask him.

[gentle music]

- How soon can you start?

[upbeat funky music]

Make yourself comfortable.

I just need a few more minutes to get ready

and we have to stop to pick up my friend, Carmen.

- We're supposed to be at the event by 11.

- [Somaya] Relax, Roosevelt.

The party doesn't even really start till I get there.

- Just call me Rose.

I'm just going by the itinerary that Bingo sent me.

- I don't know what Bingo told you and I don't really care.

What I need you to know is that you're on my clock now.

- Well, he cuts the checks.

- Where do you think he gets the money to cut the checks?

We move when I say move.

- All right, we move when you say move.

[laughing]

- Girl, I just want my next album to be for me

what "SOS" was for SZA.

- Okay. - Mm-hmm.

- We would love another Grammy moment, boo.

- What, do you mean another shot glass?

Girl, that's all we'd be using them for.

- Girl, all that success and it don't even phase you,

the way people would kill to be in your shoes.

- They would. That's a Roosevelt problem now.

- Just Rose.

- You ashamed to be named

after a fat, white president?

- I'm actually named after a blues singer. Don't assume.

- Excuse me.

- [Somaya & Carmen] Assume make a ass outta you and me.

- You know, I already got enough of that.

- Ay, ay.

[Somaya laughs]

Girl, take this.

- Girl, I needed this shit.

[relaxed music]

[Somaya sniffs]

You do know I'm grown, grown, right?

[Somaya sniffs]

I don't need a babysitter.

[Carmen sniffs]

I wouldn't have seen you in action,

I never would've believed it.

Never would've thought your pretty ass could be a bodyguard.

- I don't consider myself a bodyguard.

More of a companion that got your back.

- You married, Rose?

[relaxed music]

- Damn. That silence was loud as fuck.

- [Somaya & Carmen] She probably white.

[Carmen laughs]

- Do me a favor. Let's not bring up family.

- Okay.

- Can't fight and he sensitive.

Okay, so Rose, I got a question for you.

And it's not for me, it's for Somaya

'cause she wanna know it, whatever.

Do you fuck as good as you fight?

- [Somaya] Girl.

- [Carmen] You wanted to know.

You wanted to know.

Oh shit.

[tires screech]

- What the fuck, Rose?

- My bad, my bad, ladies.

Dude came outta nowhere.

Fuck. My phone.

Hey, watch your head, watch your head, watch your head.

- [Somaya] Damn.

- Oh, shit. Turn this shit up.

? See I'm gonna tell you

- Okay. Shit, turn this up.

Turn this up.

? But I mean, if you want my delays on me ?

? If you want me

? I love you, baby

? Love you right

? If you want me to love you, baby ?

? Love me right

? It's gonna be magical

? That's typical for me to start ?

? If you want me to love you, then, baby ?

? Love me right

? Why you mad that I didn't pick up ?

? Sent you text and you didn't respond ?

? You know I never leave you lonely ?

? No, I won't do that to you

- Keep it close. Keep it close, all right?

[cameras click]

[crowd shouts]

- What about the rumor that you're looking for a luxury rehab in Malibu?

What about that rumor?

- Back the fuck up, man.

- How about the reports about you decreasing streaming-

- Get the fuck off, you fucking bottom feeder.

Get a real job.

- Hey, hey. - I get a W2 for this,

all right? - Yeah? Shut the fuck up, man.

- Did anybody get this?

Somaya's bodyguard just assaulted me.

Somebody get this.

- [DJ] Yeah. Y'all looking good tonight.

We partying tonight.

We gonna have a good time. Ooh.

? It's game time

? You can hit me on the-

- I appreciate the protection, Rose,

but I don't need you standing all over me all night.

Move around and let me breathe.

- I gotta keep my eye on you.

- Mm-hmm.

Well, the party isn't that big.

I'll be fine.

Besides, I'm not leaving my section.

? I'm going here, you going there ?

? I got you off your feet

? I'm a dog, really

? Babe, you let me off the leash ?

? If I shoot my side

? Then I'm going for the three

? When we get the ream, then we going on repeat ?

? Staying on the tab

- Girl.

Hey, enough.

? It's a real thing

- Baby bro.

Oh, you out with the big boys tonight, huh?

- It's work.

New bodyguard assignment.

- Oh, I heard. She fine and rich.

How long till you hit that?

[funky music]

- I'm keeping it professional.

- Mm. I know, I know.

You married and shit.

- Hey man, about earlier.

- It's water under the bridge, bro.

- No, it's not.

It's my wife and my daughter. They off limits.

But otherwise, every time I see you, it's a problem.

- I was triggered and came off disrespectful.

We're brothers. Brothers fight.

- Not like that.

You know what I've been going through with my wife.

? Love you right

? If you want me to love you

- You guys are all that I have.

- Somaya, this hit is blowing up.

You know what'd be dope?

- If they would cut it off?

- No.

If I was on a remix.

What's funny?

- Carmen, I ain't doing no remix.

I barely wanna support the original version.

Girl, Bingo owns all this shit.

- That would actually help me out a lot.

I'm gonna get my name out there as an artist, get some buzz,

get Bingo to finally release my music

or we can write a song together, record a new one.

- Carmen, your pen game is crazy, girl.

- Yeah. - Okay, yeah. You're super talented.

You should just be grateful for being here.

Trust me. You don't want these problems.

- So that's a no.

? Love you, baby

- I'm just in a different place right now. Okay?

Trying to find the inspiration for my artistic expression.

- [DJ] Listen up, everybody.

We got a superstar in the building.

Somaya's in the house. Yeah.

- [Crowd] Somaya, Somaya.

- [DJ] I see you, girl.

Hey, go ahead and pass her the mic.

- No, no, no.

Not tonight, boo. - Just give us a little taste.

- Not tonight.

- [Crowd] Somaya, Somaya, Somaya.

- [DJ] Hey, okay. Maybe next time.

- This is so fucking awkward.

Girl, I should get Rose to beat his ass.

- Okay, he is not your personal attack dog.

Where is he, anyways?

- At the bar talking to somebody.

[funky music]

I don't know, girl.

I think it might be time for me to shake.

Hey, cover for me. - I got you.

? Taking hittie to the face like it's fucking nothing ?

? Shoes master whip gotta coordinate ?

- I don't want no bad blood.

- I just let the moment get the best of me.

It's a lot of pressure trying to make Mom and Dad proud.

? Maybe we can rotate

? Nigger steal portion

? I ain't with the bullshit

? Baby, can we fucking not serve niggers light ?

? I'm a grown man

? I don't want a little bit

? I want the whole thing

- Carmen, where's Somaya?

? Like my last name, Tyson

? This big butt, she down to fuck ?

? Like a fool on a date when she down to come ?

? I'm sorry, what's your name, miss ?

? It don't matter who you came with ?

? We ready to go

[phone beeps]

- Fuck.

[door slams]

[suspenseful music]

[keypad beeps and buzzes]

[keypad beeps]

[suspenseful music]

[suspenseful music continues]

[suspenseful music continues]

? See what you're doing

? See, I'm gonna tell you no lies ?

- And I'll probably turn you up in the middle of the song and balance it up.

Yo. Yo. - Whatever you thinking, don't.

- What the fuck, Rose?

How did you even fucking-

- Oh, so you can call me Rose.

- What? Are you following me?

- It's my job, the one you hired me to do.

- I'm working, too, as you can see.

- Why didn't you tell me you wanted to come to the studio?

- Because your OCD ass would've wanted to follow me.

These are private sessions, okay?

No one comes to the studio with me. Nobody.

This is my sanctuary.

- Then what am I doing here?

I can't protect you if you don't-

- Nobody even knows I'm here. Okay?

No one will find me here.

- This session was not on the schedule.

- This one is off the books and it needs to stay that way.

- Somebody wanna tell me what's going on here?

- This is Roosevelt. Big Head's replacement.

[EQ chuckles]

- You downsized, huh?

Okay.

That's cool, bro.

- I just needed to make a move so I made one.

You're my employee, not my fucking warden.

And if you wanna keep the gig, I suggest that you-

- I don't wanna keep the gig.

- What?

- I don't think you understand.

Just like you take the studio serious,

I take safety very serious.

When I'm on the clock, you're my responsibility.

You can call Big Head back.

- Wait.

[tense music]

Fine. I get it.

Don't want any one star reviews

'cause something happened to Somaya on your watch.

Do you mind letting me finish up then taking me home?

- I get paid either way.

[tense music]

- Hmm.

You're kind of fucking with my feng shui.

Can you wait outside?

[door creaks]

[door clicks]

? So baby show me

? If you want me to love you, baby ?

? Love me right

? If you want me to love you, baby ?

? Love me right

? Twenty

Fuck.

? Twenty

Fuck.

- You got this.

You can hit that run in your sleep.

- We've done it five times. I can't fucking hit it.

God.

- How about we try one of the new songs

we've been working on?

Lower octave.

Maybe now is not the time to rerecord your debut album.

- No. No.

I need to get this done.

Look, Taylor Swift proved it could be done.

- Yeah, but I doubt Taylor is-

- What?

Huh? Say it with your chest.

- You know, how about you lay off the powder for a while?

The liquor, all of it.

Lock in.

- You fucking serious? - Look, I'm just saying.

- No, don't say shit else. Just run the track again.

I'm gonna go again.

[gentle music]

? 24 hours in a day

? Don't try to call me when you lay down ?

? Don't make the type of games I play ?

? You better pull up on me right now ?

? Wanna know your intentions

? Wanna know if you're serious

? You got all my attention

? Let me see what you do with it ?

? See, I'm gonna tell you no lights ?

? I'm gonna give you more time

? But only if you want my eyes

? So baby show me

? If you want me

? To love you, baby

? Love me right

? If you want me to love you, baby ?

? Love me right

- Damn, girl. Yo, you did that.

[Somaya sighs]

- All right. Hey, we're done for tonight.

Let me get a copy of that to take with me.

- You bet.

[computer dings]

Alright. Imma hit the hay.

It's good.

- Bye.

[door clicks]

[computer dings]

[crickets chirp]

I thought you were seeing me to my door.

- You gonna fight me on everything?

I have to make sure the house is clear.

- I appreciate you taking your job so seriously

and looking out for me.

- I can't tell.

- When you came after me tonight,

that was some double-oh-negro shit.

How did you find me?

- If the paparazzi can find your every move,

then why can't I?

[tense music]

Look, you're my responsibility now

so that means that we have to move as a unit.

I need you to get on board with that if this is gonna work.

? Oh, baby what you've done to me is crazy ?

- I have a question.

[tense music]

Why did you agree to work for me? Huh?

Was it the money?

- You called. I was available.

- So it is about what I want then.

- Within reason.

[tense music]

[funky music]

No, thank you.

- I'm not asking.

It's a 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild.

You'll like it.

[funky music]

[glass clinks on counter]

I am gonna go shower. Lock up on your way out.

[funky music]

[funky music continues]

[phone buzzes]

[tense music]

- [Rose] What? You gotta be fucking kidding me.

[water splashes]

Civil Code number one, once a job is assigned,

you must follow through.

Civil Code number four, no mercy towards targets,

and Civil Code number seven,

feelings for the target are prohibited.

Rules that I've lived by and never struggled with

until now.
