[viewer creaking]

[bugs chirping]

[ominous music]

[car door chime dinging]

[gun firing]

What?

What the fuck?

What the fuck, Rose?

Oh my god.

- He had a fucking knife.

It's the same dude who rushed the stage.

You don't recognize him?

- I, I, I'd never seen him before in my life.

No.

The police will, the police will identify him.

- No, we gotta go, come on.

- No, we can't just leave him here.

We have to call the police.

- Do you wanna stay in the cell tonight?

Then your face on every news channel?

The police will use you as an example.

Let's go.

Let's go.

? If I'ma risk it all, might as well go crazy ?

? There is no rose without thorns ?

? Through rose-colored glasses I see the future ?

? This is the wild rose

? I been trying to wind time, but, baby, it's too late ?

? If I'ma risk it all, might as well go crazy ?

? Since I'm all the way deep inside ?

? I might as well go crazy

[camera shutter clicking]

- The body of a 43-year-old man was found this morning

at a popular attraction for tourists and LA residents alike.

There were no cameras, no witnesses,

but police have confirmed the victim attended

the Somaya concert last night at the Roxy

and was roughed up pretty badly by security.

Police are asking if the public has any leads

to call them immediately.

I'm Laura Perlman, Action News.

Now, back to you.

- He's just a fan.

- Who stalked you for years.

With a knife.

He wasn't a fan, he was a lunatic.

- He still should have called the fucking cops.

Like, I don't know what Rose was thinking.

- Maybe he was trying to protect you.

Imagine the headlines as your new album drops.

He's your bodyguard.

You need to trust him.

Girl, relax.

I got something for you. - For breakfast, Carmen?

- Sprinkled on top of a short stack might be kind of nice.

[Carmen snorting]

- Okay. - I knew it.

That's gonna get you right [laughing].

[Somaya snorting]

- Uh-uh, no.

Do not walk in here

like you didn't just make my job 10 times fucking harder.

- I'm guessing you haven't had your coffee this morning.

- This is not a game, Rose.

And you want me to tell you why it's not a game?

Because there are detectives in the lobby

that wanna talk to you

based on the fight on stage at the concert.

And now I've been online

scrubbing all of the cell phone footage from YouTube.

And now I'm working to delete the traffic camera footage

from last night.

For your sake.

- Shit.

- I mean, Joyce and Franklin are panicking

that this could lead to a deeper investigation into Civil.

So for now, the detectives only know

about the staffing agency, and we have to keep it that way.

- Rose, you started a fire

and you better extinguish it fast.

Damn it!

[ominous music]

[soft guitar music] [Carmen humming softly]

? Come here, baby

? Come here baby, yeah, yeah

? Come here baby, yeah, yeah

? I know you like

? I know you like the way I move ?

? Yeah, yeah, I feel our heartbeats are in tune ?

? Yeah, yeah

? So what you want do, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ?

? I got you in the mood, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ?

? The way I throw it back, ah, ah, ah, ah ?

? Hey, hey

? You throw that back, hey

? Throwing it back, hey

? Hey, hey, hey,

? Come here, baby, yeah, yeah

? Come here, baby

? Hey [girls laughing]

- Girl, they're not gonna know what to do

with all that jelly.

- Come on now.

- Oh gosh.

I like that one.

You should go to the studio with that.

- I've been trying to find time to record for myself.

But Bingo got me writing for everybody else.

- That man thinks that we're fucking machines.

Guess he doesn't realize machines break too.

[Somaya sighing]

- If I didn't know any better,

I'd think those lyrics you just freestyled

was for Bodyguard Bae.

- Girl, he's cute, but he ain't bae.

Okay, he's kinda weird.

Like something about him.

I can't read him.

You know, too private.

Like he's hiding something.

- So what?

He did just save your life.

Girl, he must love you. - Hey!

He did his job.

- Oh, and I'm guessing his job

was rubbing you down with sunscreen?

- Ugh.

- And God only knows what happened that day

your ass skipped out on that press event.

- Girl, you are reaching for something

you ain't gonna catch.

Okay?

Hey, what about you?

- What about me?

- Okay, you weren't at the meeting with Bingo.

You were a no-show at my show.

Who the fuck's been rubbing you down?

- Nobody.

I just wasn't feeling my best.

- We've been friends for almost 10 years.

Okay, I think I know when something

or someone has your attention.

- No.

Honestly, honestly, I'm just,

I'm just trying to focus on myself a little more.

Get some local gigs.

- Yeah, if you stay ready, you ain't gotta get ready.

- Speaking of getting ready,

what time do this thing start tonight?

And, girl, what are you wearing?

'Cause I'm trying to have a TMZ moment.

You know, get these Getty images popping.

- Girl, I haven't even begun

to think about the album release party.

- Because the album's already released?

EQ outta all people.

Who woulda ever thought?

All I know is he better not think

about stepping into that party tonight.

- Carm.

[sighing] It was me.

I leaked my album.

- What?

How?

Why?

- Which one do you want me to answer first?

- All of 'em, bitch.

- I copied the files from EQ's drive

while we were at the studio.

- So do Bingo know about this?

- No.

And he's not going to know.

- Somaya!

Why would you do some dumb shit like that?

- I'm taking my power back.

- That is not a fucking power move, Somaya.

It's a, it's a fucking power trip.

You're not just hurting Bingo.

You're hurting everybody who worked on the album,

including myself.

- Hurt you how, Carm?

You were paid for your services.

It's my face that's on the album, my brand, my art.

And they're trying to control me with it.

I leaked it to free myself from that control.

- You're a fucking star.

Like you're selling out shows.

You're breaking fucking records.

You're living a dream.

Why the fuck would you sabotage that?

You gotta be more grateful.

- Grateful that I can't walk down the street in public?

Grateful that I have stalkers trying to kill me?

- And even after all that, there's millions of people

who would kill to be in your shoes.

[soft music]

- [Price] And how long have you all been in business?

- We've been a non-profit staffing organization

for over 30 years.

- Wow, that's impressive.

- We drive by here all the time.

It's very unassuming.

- You withstood a lot.

Business must be good.

- We've seen our ups and downs.

Recession, riots.

But people are always looking for work

and we're committed to helping them find it.

We help good people find good jobs.

- [Price] Well, maybe you could help me switch careers.

- Whenever you're ready.

[Price laughing]

- What's back there? - Storage.

Chemicals and solutions

for when we send our cleaning workers out.

Always gotta upsell in times like these.

- You keep it pretty secure.

- The homeless in the area.

Rose.

These fine detectives have come to speak to you

about a situation that happened last night

when you were on the clock.

- I'm Detective Price.

This is Detective Lopez.

We want to ask you a few questions.

Hmm?

[intense music]

You were working security last night

and you tackled an individual on stage

with a scuffle that followed, correct?

- It's protocol when someone rushes the stage

to neutralize them.

You never know their intentions.

- Was he threatening?

- He rushed the stage aggressively towards our client.

Can never be too cautious.

- Understood.

Well, we're here because that man is dead,

shot in the head in an overlook in Mulholland Drive.

- That's unfortunate.

- Where were you around midnight last night?

- I left the concert, dropped off my client, and went home.

- Your client being the singer Somaya?

- That's right.

- And did that drive include a,

a route through Mulholland, over the canyon,

and a stop at an overlook?

- I take the 405.

I hate the canyon.

- With all that traffic? - At that time of night,

smooth sailing.

The most beautiful ride you'll ever have.

- Mm.

And of course, there's no way to corroborate this story.

- Yeah, uh, traffic cameras.

Yeah, I, I can help secure those.

- And how would you do that?

- Oh, it's public record.

All you need is the date and the time.

- Hmm.

Thanks for the offer, but we have the resources on our end

to handle it.

But maybe you should apply for our department.

I mean, you are looking for a job, right?

[Yari and Joyce chuckling]

I'm curious, Rose, how did you land a gig

securing someone as high profile as Somaya?

Your credentials must be strong.

- A threat doesn't care about your credentials.

A threat only cares if you're a threat back.

- [Joyce] Never in all my years at Civil

have detectives walked through our front door

and asked me some goddamn questions.

- They came and they left with the same information

that they came with.

- She left, Rose, but she'll be back.

She wasn't satisfied.

I saw that in her eyes.

- And we'll have to be ready.

Yari, make sure our security system's firmware

are all up to date.

And I want 24-hour surveillance

on all police scanners and chatter.

- Double shifts?

Really?

- Blame your brother.

We wanna make sure we don't get any unexpected visitors

at 5:00 a.m. from the SWAT team!

- And for future reference, Yari,

in the presence of the police, shut your mouth.

Now I'm trying to figure out how all of this happened.

Somebody better talk to me fast.

- Rose botched a hit.

Again.

Like Bolden, completely went against code.

I just haven't found the perfect time.

You have to create the perfect time.

You're a professional, right?

You're her bodyguard, and you have full access.

Unless you using your access for something else.

You fucking her?

- What?

- What would your wife think about that?

- Yeah, shut the fuck up, bro.

- That's enough.

Sit down, Rose.

[slow music]

Yeah, every other assassin

seems to be able to follow orders.

Keep a low profile.

Except you, Rose.

You're skilled, you're trained,

you know how to create a misdirect,

how to plant evidence in your favor if need be.

And you've got Yari's support.

She can ping your phone in towers all over the city

or manipulate surveillance footage.

And yet, she's still alive.

What's with that?

Have you told her about Civil?

- No.

- But she did witness a shooting last night, correct?

You left a witness, which is a violation.

- Okay.

I can't, I can't have you move forward

on the order to kill Somaya, Rose.

It'll bring too much heat on the organization.

It's too close a connection.

But she knows too much.

And she'll be the next person

that detective will wanna talk to.

We can't risk her placing you on the scene.

Chase, assign the order to someone else,

and that needs to happen now.

- I hear she's having an album release party tonight.

- [Rose] Oh, yeah, that ain't gonna work.

- Why not?

- Too many people.

- The more people the better.

Creates confusion, multiple suspects, reasonable doubt.

It's the perfect place.

But you wouldn't know that 'cause you're not invited.

- I'm scheduled to be with Somaya this evening.

- Change of plans.

Let event security handle it.

- You heard him, Rose.

That's your brother.

And that's also your boss.

From this moment forward,

that singer is no longer your responsibility.

You are to officially quit your position as her bodyguard.

Am I clear?

Everybody out.

[slow music]

[slow music continues]

[glasses clinking]

- So what do you think? - That hit was unauthorized.

Chase never brought it to me.

I didn't wanna call him out in front of his siblings

and treat him like a subordinate.

They need to learn to respect him,

[sighing] but he must be accepting money on the side.

- I'll take care of it. - No, no, I will.

And Rose has become such a liability.

And something's going on between him and that girl.

And I'm concerned.

And I'm concerned about that goddamn detective.

- Think we should use the number?

- Why would you ask me that?

- Well, I'm just saying,

you, you think this rises to that level?

- No, that number is for emergencies only.

- Well, I was thinking, it may be good to make him aware.

- Unless we're looking down the barrel

of the strong arm of the law, we do not use that number.

[stylist trilling] [slow music]

- Do I look like I would wear something like that?

Oh no, hunty, tonight is a black tie event.

Where's your tux?

- I don't have one. - You've known about this.

It was on the itinerary.

Absolutely the hell not.

That looks like a couch pattern in my grandma's house.

[slow music]

- I need to speak with you.

- About?

[slow music]

I need a moment.

[door closes]

- [Rose] How you holding up?

- Other than having visions of that man's head exploding

right in front of my eyes?

I'm good, I guess.

Good news is that the harassment stopped.

No more crazy messages, threats on social media.

Thank you.

- That's good.

- We got him.

And tonight we celebrate.

- What's the celebration? - Freedom.

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

- Freedom?

- I don't think you should go to the event.

- Why not?

The danger's done. - Somaya.

You hired me to assess the risks and plan accordingly.

I'm advising you to stay home.

- What?

No, I'm advising you to do as I ask.

- Well, then you gonna have to do it alone.

- What?

- My agency pulled me from your detail.

- Your agency pulled, what are you saying right now?

- You on your own, Somaya.

I can't protect you anymore.

And for that reason, I don't think you should go.

- No, what, I, I thought you took this job

because you saw who I was behind the public persona.

I thought you were your own man.

Now you're letting a fucking agency tell you what to do?

Fuck them, and fuck you too!

No, I hired an attorney

who created a strategy for me to file a lawsuit.

To get my Masters.

Bingo's contract is ironclad, but there are loopholes.

But I have to prove

that I've abided by my contractual obligations.

So I have to go out there and put on a smile and do my job.

Okay, exactly like I expected for you to do.

But it's fine.

I'll fend for myself.

Like I always have!

[Somaya crying softly]

[bugs chirping]

[upbeat music]

? But you're the one and only superstar ?

[camera shutters clicking]

[crowd clamoring]

? Go on, let your light shine no matter where you are ?

[camera shutters clicking]

[crowd clamoring]

? 'Cause you're a superstar

- Hey, so listen, Somaya's in good hands tonight, okay?

How about you uh, just give us a little space

and uh, let us enjoy each other.

[camera shutters clicking] [crowd clamoring]

? And is it my reflection

? I speak for all the girls in the world ?

? White skin, dark skin, brown skin ?

Relax, I'm with them.

Somaya!

Somaya, Somaya, come get me.

[slow music]

[slow music continues]

[crowd chattering]

- You really turned things around

with the whole leak fiasco.

- Listen, all that media bullshit, let it die.

Let it lay where it is, it's going to do that anyway.

I want you to know, all right,

that I have a whole marketing team right now

that's taking that leak and they're spinning it.

They're making it work in our benefit to promote the album.

We are projecting this album to be up to par,

if not exceed Somaya's debut album.

Either way, look, the album's gonna make numbers,

that's for sure.

And the streets are already buzzing about it.

So rest assured, Mr. Watts,

acquiring Platinum Prime Records is a wise

and a very lucrative business decision for you to make.

- Yeah, well I hope so.

40 million isn't a drop in the bucket.

- It's not, but it's well worth it.

Look at her.

She's a star.

[slow music] [Somaya laughing]

[camera shutters clicking]

- [Carmen] What the fuck, Somaya?

- Girl, where have you been?

- Outside calling your name.

They won't even let me walk the fucking carpet.

- Girl, you know I ain't got nothing to do with that.

It's all Bingo.

But fuck him.

Fuck the carpet.

Come on, let's take a picture.

'Cause I got, I'm good? - You're good.

[camera flashing]

Guess you should go meet your new boss.

- Girl, I don't have no boss.

[slow music]

- Show time.

[slow music]

- Somaya, Kevin Watts.

- Good to see you again.

Last time we met the tensions were pretty high.

- Yes, and I want to apologize for that.

You know, I was just a little bit shaken up

by the big announcement.

- I would just like to be the first to welcome you

and everyone at Platinum Prime to my family.

[slow music]

- You know I wrote six songs on that album?

- No, I didn't know that.

- Nobody knows.

Somaya barely knows.

[slow music]

- Yo, what the fuck is up, LA?

[crowd cheering]

You can do better than that, LA.

Make some fucking noise.

[crowd cheering]

All you here that don't know me,

I am the CEO of Platinum Prime Records.

But tonight isn't about me, it's about our artist,

our biggest artist on our label, Somaya!

Put your hands together!

[crowd cheering] [crowd applauding]

This is her third album named "Jaded."

Now, everybody at the label, we think this is a masterpiece,

it's a instant hit classic.

Your children, children, children gonna love this album.

It's a lot of people at the label

that put a lot of hard work into making this album,

including myself.

Somaya, babe, like to say anything, any words?

[microphone feedback]

- Um, yes.

Uh, I wanna say thank you to the fans,

to my soldiers.

You know, y'all have been with me since the beginning

and I appreciate it more than you guys will ever know.

I wanna thank everyone, you know, who worked on the album.

Was a lot of long nights,

a lot of hard work,

but it was all worth it.

And, you know, they say that it takes a team.

But, you know, this one, this one was from my soul,

from my heart.

It's all me.

And I want you all to buy the album

and to love the album

because the album loves you.

[crowd cheering] [crowd applauding]

- The album loves you.

[crowd chattering]

- [Bouncer] Where you think you going? - Cheers, everybody.

You can get a glass, raise it to the air.

[crowd chattering] [ominous music]

- Step back. - To great music.

- Step your ass back. - And a great future.

[glasses clinking] [suspenseful music]

[crowd gasping]

- Oh, what the fuck is your problem?

- Yo, what happened? - He, he shoved me.

- Hey, hold on, brother, watch yourself.

Apologize.

- [Somaya] Fucking god, I have to go to the bathroom

and clean up.

- [Bingo] Look, babe, do you need any help?

I can- - No, no.

I'll be fine.

- Yo, just, DJ, play some shit.

[upbeat music]

? Love you, baby, love you right ?

- All right, Chase, all ears.

- [Chase] Yeah, uh, can I get a number two?

- What bullshit are you talking about now?

- [Chase] Sour cream, jalapenos, and orange Doritos.

Hey, make sure you don't forget the guac.

Last time I came, they forgot the guac.

I don't know how y'all expect me to make nachos

without guac.

[radio scanner tuning]

- [Dispatch] 211 in progress, downtown Los Angeles.

687 Hill Street.

Units, please be advised that there are three suspects.

One is reportedly armed and dangerous.

- Only several blocks away.

- Hey, how long do I have to monitor this?

- Until this shooting with Rose

and that guy at the overlook blows over.

If you don't hear any chatter for three or four days,

then we'll take you back to your normal hours.

Any news from Pope?

- No, he hasn't checked in yet.

- Yeah, the night's still young.

That party will probably go

until the wee hours of the morning.

- And I'll be here.

- You know, you and Rose have always been close

and so have we.

- Yes, Dad.

- What the hell is going on with him?

- What do you mean?

- I know he talks to you about his personal life.

- I mean, he keeps things pretty tightlipped.

But I do think that he's struggling.

With Summer and Aurora.

I mean, he's been through a lot.

- Yeah, Joyce thinks he's a defector, you know?

And I get that.

But he still has a job to do.

And we sent Pope to handle his unfinished business

because we no longer trust him.

Yari, I'm only telling you this because you two are close.

His days are becoming numbered.

[slow music]

[dispatcher chattering on radio]

[Yari exhaling slowly]

- Fucking god!

So fucked.

What's this?

[door slamming]

[Somaya groaning]

[slow music]

[Somaya snorting]

[Somaya laughing]

Hello?

Hello?

[suspenseful music] [door rattling]

I think you're in the wrong restroom.

[door rattling]

This is, hey, stop!

Hey, fucking stop!

Hey, Rose!

[Somaya screaming]

[men grunting]

[Somaya shrieking]

[men grunting]

Oh, no!

[men grunting]

No!

[Somaya yelling]

Stop!

[men grunting]

Shit.

[men grunting]

- [Pope] No! [Pope gurgling]

- Somaya, what the hell is going on?

- She in good hands with you, huh?

- [Somaya] Thought I didn't have to worry about that fucking

Who the fuck was that?

- I don't know, but I'm gonna find out.

- Damn.

Are you worried that that asshole might be here?

- It might be a good idea to put you up somewhere else.

- Absolutely fucking not.

No, this is my home, my safe space,

and I'm not letting no one run me away.

- I'm just trying to keep you safe, Somaya.

I really think it's risky to stay here.

- I wanna be safe, but I don't wanna live in fear.

Besides, my name isn't even on the house,

so he won't even know I'm here anyway.

- All right, we move when you say move then.

[phone ringing]

- Bingo.

- Power off your phone.

- Do you know something I don't?

- I know it's only so much that I can do.

- You're doing more than enough.

[sighing] Just as long as you don't leave tonight.

I don't wanna be alone.

- Everything's gonna be all right.

[slow music]

? Now the day is over

? And the night's coming down

- Civil code number seven,

feelings towards a target are prohibited.

We are what we choose.

? This is the place I go

- And I made my choice.

Some lines, once crossed, can change you forever.

? You know where to find me

? Please bring me back

? Shine a light on this road of life ?

? Shine a light

- Where are you?

[slow music]

Whoa, you look an awful lot like Bolden.

[suspenseful music]

- [Automated Voice] Your call has been forwarded to an automatic

[phone beeping]

- Rose, call me.

I found some info.

Okay, it turns out Somaya's hit isn't in the system.

Apparently Chase authorized it under the table.

But that's not all.

Richard Bolden, the man who you've been assigned to kill,

he's already dead.

He died 30 years ago.
