Previously on Sacrifice.

I want you to defend Larry Stilwell so you can get him alone in the room and

stick a knife in his heart. And if you can't, let me. I'm going to put you away

one day for all the shit you think you've gotten away with.

We don't have cash.

We need to get out now.

Anybody who thinks that Black Diamond Records will ever be for sale is wrong.

Hey, everyone.

This is Ella Shaw.

Her grandfather.

Seeing you two together makes me so happy.

Oh, Alice. No.

No. No.

Sir, can you hear me?

Can I get a status update, please?

80-year-old male went into defib. We administered CPR and two stat shots that

produced a pulse in the scene. His BP is dropping, and his heart rate is 40,

irregular.

Is he going to be OK?

We're going to do everything that we can.

All right, let's start a lidocaine drip to stabilize.

The second he comes back in my life. It's going to be OK, Dee.

You still hungry to die?

I hope so.

The doctors say they pulled a 9 millimeter slug out of my shoulder.

Nothing vital was hit.

It's a blessing.

Sacramento was looking at you to lead a task force on drugs.

Guess we have to put that on hold. I guess so.

Do you remember anything from the shooting?

Not a whole lot.

There was a scent.

Like odor?

Like something I smelled before.

You know, it's probably nothing.

Anyway, let's check the building cameras, coordinate with the LAPD, and

we're going to chase the slug.

Beverly, we'll handle the legal work. You need to rest.

DA Rucker, we're going to find the animal that did this.

Thank you, Detective Adai.

We already know who did this.

It was Don Mayfield.

Don, are you sure about that?

Hell yeah.

Who else would it be? You've been all over his ass lately.

Whoever did this is going to pay.

That's a promise.

I'm going to go check on your security detail.

I'll be right back. All right.

If anything happened to you.

Ray, I'm fine.

I'm going to check in with Uncle Sy.

OK.

I should arrest your ass right now.

What the hell are you talking about?

Don't play dumb.

I know you shot the DA.

Bailey's been shot? Is she okay?

No, you didn't. Hey!

Daniela! Stop!

Stop it!

All right, all right, all right, all right.

We get evidence on you, and we will.

I'm going down.

Brady.

Don't worry about me.

Take care of your gun.

Talk to you later.

We need to find Barbara.

Sorry, you can't come in here, ma'am.

She's a friend of mine. I don't think the DA is accepting visitors at this

time. It's all right, detective.

Let her in.

Give us a sec.

Sure.

If you need anything, just give me a shout.

He seems nice.

Protective. He's a detective.

Protective is in his job description.

OK. Yeah.

Anyway, what happened?

How are you doing?

Checking all my sans.

We are sans, aren't we?

Lambda zeta mu.

We are the chosen few.

Oh, I got you.

Thanks, Danny.

the Greek alphabet perfectly, little lamb.

Alpha, beta.

Mr. Visionary, alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, theta, eta, theta, iota,

kappa, lambda, mu.

What? I was just remembering when I couldn't recite the Greek alphabet

online. Cry like a baby, cry like a baby.

Daniela? We need to speak with Beverly privately, official business.

Help out her back. Thanks.

Um, FYI, hanging around Don Mayfield isn't a good look for you.

You know you're judged by the company you keep.

FYI, stop worrying about what I'm doing and worry about not getting your DA

shot.

So, 10 minutes.

I got a plain clothes coming. Your father is stable right now, but he needs

a quadruple bypass.

Open heart surgery at his age? We should get a second opinion.

I don't need you to decide what's best for my father.

It's a good idea, but act fast.

Listen, Dr. Glenda Scott is a friend and the best cardiologist in the country.

Mind your own damn business.

Mom. We are perfectly capable of getting our own specialists.

So if you could excuse us.

Daniela can advise us on the legal help we need.

Ruby, what legal issues?

Grandpa doesn't have an updated will.

Grandma was the sole beneficiary.

And since she's deceased, it leaves you and the company open to a number of

claims. Exactly.

If Alice pulls through this, we need to set up a living trust immediately.

I understand you're an attorney and all.

But this discussion pertains exclusively to the immediate family.

Not Lila's bastard.

Like it or not, we have the same blood running through our veins.

I am family.

I spent my youth taking a backseat to my sister. I'll be damned if I play second

fiddle to a dead woman now.

So again, if you'll excuse us.

I'm so sorry, Daniela.

It's all good.

Family. We're two.

Office.

Thank you both for thinking ahead.

Well, with Mr. Shaw in the hospital, we figured you might need some extra

assistance this morning.

As usual, you were right.

I really appreciate it.

Between my grandfather's heart attack and Beverly getting shot, I don't know

if I'm coming or going.

I was shocked to hear about Beverly.

So was I.

And they think Dom did it.

Did he?

I really don't know.

Can you access the ballistics lab downtown?

Yeah. Find out what type of gun was used to shoot Beverly.

OK. Oh, and I need you to do a deep dive into Black Ammon's financials. I'm on

it.

I look like a boy.

Oh, damn, that's extra.

I'll do it, girls.

Boy, stop.

Who are they here to see? Do you know where Daniela Hernandez is? Girl, it's

so fancy.

Hey,

y

'all. What up, y'all? It's your girl, Bae

Antoxic. And you know, you know, extra better known as extra. And we're here

with our girl, Daniela Hernandez.

Is she cute? Can you turn that off, please?

OK, anyways. You know what it is. Y'all, we finna get this law shit cracked and

extra out.

Yes.

OK, so let's get straight into it.

I'm Sabine. This is Ashley, professionally known as Extra.

Some back story about us. We're from Ladera, and we went to the Marlboro

School, then UCLA.

Go Bruins. Go Bruins. Oh, and one other little thing.

We're all sorors. We're sorors.

My name is Zeta Mew. Yeah.

We are the chosen few.

Impressive.

I didn't know.

Yeah. Don't let our stage personas fool you. We just figured out the game years

ago. Sex sells.

And according to the charts, our sex is selling platinum, if I might add.

Yes. Oh, you know what? And I read that you went to Berkeley School of Law.

Did you pass the bar on your first try?

Yes, I did.

And I finished third in my class.

OK. Well, why not first?

First students only study.

Third students, we study and make connections.

OK, so since we're all sororers, do you remember this picture?

You like to turn up. She like to turn up.

That was a long time ago.

I'm sober now.

We fall down.

But we get up. We do.

Yes, we do. So how can I help you ladies?

Yes, so your client, Oscar, is our manager.

He has no idea we're meeting with you today.

Firstly, we want you to be our attorney.

Ladies, that's a conflict of interest.

OK, so then maybe you could help us with our other issue.

So we're coming out with our second album, and we really want to avoid that

sophomore slump.

If we work with your other client, Dom Mayfield, the hit maker, our album will

be fire. Fire.

I'm sure you ladies know Dom and Oscar hate each other.

Dom refuses to work with Oscar since he stole a little act from him.

And then there's some beef about a woman.

Wait, you hold up.

Wait. Are you talking about Bella?

Oscar's still tripping over losing some ass.

I mean, I've lost some dick, and I ain't complaining, OK? Right. Come on. Grow

up. Those are words to live by.

You know what?

I'll talk to them for you, sister to sister.

But I'm not making any promises, OK?

That's looking out, sis.

Look, we're all about our music and the paper. Yeah. It's all about getting to

that bag. Bag.

I see you're not too passive, little ladies waiting for men to save you.

Never that.

I mean, come on. Like, we talk about riding dick, getting sloppy toppy,

getting our cat eaten. I mean, come on. Passive? That's never us.

You're owning your sexuality instead of being exploited by it.

She gets it. She gets it. She gets it. Oh, yeah.

It was a pleasure. Yes.

Thank you so much. Yes.

Really appreciate it. Girl, so nice.

Proud of you, ladies. Thank you.

I'm about

to blow

up. They'll call when he gets out.

Right.

Oscar, I'm sorry to have you meet me at a hospital. Oh, that's fine.

I just felt like I needed to be close to my grandfather.

Daniela, I'm happy to come where you are.

Thank you. No problem. So what do you need?

I need you to work with Dom.

Hell no. I'm not working with Dom.

Not even for you, no.

Well, don't do it for me. Do it for Extra.

I can't believe they met with you behind my back. You know, that's not cool.

Don't. They mad at the ladies. They just don't want old shit to impede them from

having a dope album.

Yeah, I can't help. Little Ag wanted to sign with me.

Stealing Dom's platinum-selling artist hurt his pockets and his ego.

Isn't that enough?

Dom stole Bella from me.

He tried to make me look like a simp out in the streets.

Dom makes hits.

Why allow all that money to go away over some petty bullshit?

Don't let old drama stop you from getting your bag, Oscar.

My bag.

I guess you have been hanging with extra hot.

I might have picked up a saying or two.

I'll meet with him for the ladies.

Thank you.

Thank you, baby.

Hey,

Mom.

Chauncey.

I'm so glad you could make it.

How was your flight?

Oh, you know how that flight from New York is.

What's up, sis?

How's granddad?

Hanging in there.

He's having open heart surgery tomorrow.

Shit. But he has a very good doctor.

Daniella hooked us up with her.

Cousin Daniella?

Yes. She's been sniffing around ever since your grandfather had a thaw

towards her.

I see.

Look.

I hate to be the one to bring this up right now, but we really need to discuss

the future of Black Gammon as a family.

Do you want me to call the rest of the family, Uncle Sly and Daniela?

The only family members that matter are right here.

And we need to discuss the possibility of Daddy dying.

Jesus, Mom.

I don't want him to die, Ruby.

But we have to face reality and prepare for the future.

It's tough, but necessary.

And we can finally bring this company into the 21st century.

What is wrong with the two of you?

Grandpa is going to make it.

I believe that.

Look, I'm not trying to be insensitive.

I love Granddad.

Daddy?

Just stop.

But if something does happen, we have to keep his legacy alive.

How you doing?

Where am I?

In the hospital, Grandpa.

You had a heart attack.

You're OK.

Look who came all the way from New York.

Chelsea. What's up, Grandpa?

If you did not have to do all of this to get me to come see you.

Hey, Bella.

I'm here to talk to Don.

Then what do you have to speak my name for?

It's attorney-client privilege.

Really? I'm afraid so.

You know, Daniela, the way you walk up in here sometimes makes me really

wonder. There's more to this attorney-client privilege thing than you

and Don were letting off.

It's business.

Bella, what's up?

Let me get a minute with Daniela. A minute, OK?

To talk business.

Does she know something?

She'll be all right. She don't own me.

How's your grandfather?

He's alive.

That's what's important.

So what's up with this assistant DA thinking I shot Rucker? I had nothing to

do with that.

I hope you're telling the truth.

For real?

OK. I'll get the heat off of you.

I appreciate that.

Now, I have a proposition for you.

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

Business, Dom.

Have you heard of the Group Extra?

Yeah, of course.

That track, Hootie Drip, go hard. Wish I could fit up.

Would you ever consider working with them?

So that's why you're here.

Your boy Oscar begging for my help.

Actually, it's the ladies who want to work with you. Yeah, I rock with them.

But there ain't no way I'm working with Oscar.

Enough with the history, Dom.

Extra is an amazing group.

They've got money-making longevity in this business.

And I got plenty of options for my beats.

Yes, you do.

But these ladies are special.

You know that.

LA District Attorney Beverly Rucker was shot yesterday and admitted to Arcadia

Health Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

She is expected to make a full recovery.

The shooter is still at large.

Hey, baby.

I heard there was a scuffle between Jason and Dom. What was that about? I

don't blame Jason for stepping to Dom. I just would have handled it differently.

Well, I would hope so.

I would have arrested his ass on the spot.

With no probable cause?

Great. Go by the book.

You are at a pivotal point in your career, and you cannot afford to make

any mistakes.

You know, I love how you're always thinking about me, but I got this.

You also cannot kiss me with the door open. Someone might see us.

I wish we could just be a regular couple.

You know we can't.

Word got out that you were dating a district attorney. Some of your cases

could get thrown out.

True.

But. I don't know how long I can keep you a secret.

Well, you know, secrets can be very exciting.

Yeah.

So far, they are.

Dom, just be real with me.

Are you banging this fool down? Oh, I already told you I'm not.

She's just my attorney.

And why are you so suspicious anyway?

The way she just be walking up in here all familiar and shit?

That's it.

Yes, that's enough.

Women have these feelings.

It's called intuition.

And why would I want to be with anybody else? Don't do that. After I've been

with you. Don't do that.

Then why am I feeling this, Dom?

It's always been you.

From the start.

You know that, right?

What was that?

What the fuck?

Drop the goddamn gun, man! Dom, shoot!

Drop the gun. Do it now.

Dom, it's the police.

Put it down. They will kill you.

Do it now.

Step back.

Hands up.

Hands up. Step back.

I would miss this shit for the world.

Pulling a gun on an officer?

Not smart.

So y'all motherfuckers don't announce yourselves now? You guys could have

killed us. We have a warrant to search your property in connection with the

shooting of DA Rocky.

I told you I had shit to do with that.

Found two other guns.

What's with all the guns, Dom?

I'm a collector.

And I stay ready just in case somebody think they can bust in here.

Hello, Mommy? I cannot talk right now.

Wait, when?

Where did he take him?

Mr.

Shaw?

You're awake.

You want some company?

Of course, sweetheart.

It's so good to see you. Good to see you too.

How are you feeling?

Listening to your song helps to pass the time.

You mean my mother's song?

You know, you should try to get along with your sister. She's not as talented

as you.

So she's a bit jealous of time.

I don't have a sister.

Lila, sure, you and your sister fight like alley cats.

But she's still your sister.

Ellis, I'm not Lila.

I'm Daniela.

Lila, don't tell anyone, but I'm late on that loan.

We could lose everything.

Loan?

How much do you owe?

I remember when you wrote this song about your baby girl.

This song was about me.

You need to leave the room, please.

Ma'am, please.

I don't have a pulse.

He's already got pads on.

Charge. Clear.

Shock.

Check pulse.

No pulse. Starting compressions.

Come on.

We're down.

Check pulse.

He's back.

Is he gonna be okay? He's stabilized, but I'm not waiting till morning. I'm

prepping the OR for immediate surgery.

Hey, boss.

Any word on Grandpa?

He's had his surgery.

You think he'll be okay?

I'm so relieved to hear that.

What's going on?

Cops broke into Dom's studio and arrested him for gun possession.

One of his pieces wasn't registered.

What precinct? Josh already bailed him out.

Just thought you should know.

I'm sure you'll be hearing from Dom.

I looked into Black Gamma's financials. And?

Your grandfather's digital financials are almost non-existent. I did find a

correspondence that mentions an RCT equity collateralized loan at 28%, but

not much else.

That's an extremely high rate.

That's probably the loan he was talking about.

What I really need to find out is what he used for collateral to secure that

loan. I'm on it.

Thank you, someone.

Mr. Chase, thank you for seeing me.

Anything for the granddaughter of Alice Shaw.

I was hoping you'd help me understand something.

Your company has given Black Gammon a significant loan.

But at 28% interest rate, you're pretty close to violating usury law.

How's that?

Ronnie, you're on the edge of predatory lending practices.

I may need to get my congressman involved.

Open up a review on your operation.

Is that a threat?

It's a warning.

My loans are within the bounds of the law.

Perhaps.

But is it normal operating procedure to use Black Gammon's catalog as

collateral? Your grandfather was a big boy.

He knew what the stakes were when he put the catalog up for collateral.

If he doesn't pay the loan, like I expect, then that catalog is as good as

mine.

Without the catalog, Black Ammon won't be worth much.

So I'll take that off his hands, too.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've work to finish.

Of course.

What up, y'all? It's your girl, Bae, and we in the studio with Dom the Hitmaker.

He about to play us a new track, hopefully for our new album.

And look who we got in the studio with us today. Hey, Sora.

Say hi to the extra eight.

Hi, everyone. I'm going to need you guys to turn that off, please.

Okay, Papi.

It's going to be so lit.

So lit. Yo, y'all ready?

Yeah. Check it out.

Hey, Dom.

That track's hot.

There it is.

Dom, you did that, OK?

Oh, my god. Listen, I love it, but is you going to work with us or no?

Think I can make that happen.

Matt, get the champagne.

Dom, of course.

Oh, I heard you. Y'all!

Listen, y'all just heard our new track from Dom the Hitmaker.

Can't wait for y'all to hear the whole thing, though. So stay tuned.

Period.

Yo, Dom, listen to this.

It's your boy Lil Ag.

No,

he didn't dance. He's a whore. So this how you do me?

You got your little artist trying to diss me?

I knew about the song.

I told little Ag to hold off on dropping it. You're full of shit. You did this on

purpose. You see, this is the kind of shit that got your woman stole from you.

Dom.

You know why I took your number one artist?

Because money go a lot longer than some tired asshole.

Wait. Everybody calm down.

You guys.

Fuck you.

Everybody get out of my studio!

Yeah, you heard him, man. Get out of here.

You ain't got to worry about getting none of my beats either.

We out. We out.

Damn. What are we going to do now?

That chat was perfect for us.

I know.

Ladies.

Don't let these men steal your light.

You're going to get what you want.

Because I've got your back.

Do it. That's our lawyer. And one powerful bitch.

Say who? Yes, that one.

I didn't expect to be back at work so soon.

How are you feeling?

Good. I should be back at work full time in about a week.

Typical Beverly, working when you should be resting.

True.

So did you come here to check on me, or?

In a way.

I came here to see Detective Aday.

That's LAPD. This is the DA's office.

Try Parker Center.

I thought I'd try the Beverly Center.

Might get me to Detective Aday faster.

You're mistaken, as usual.

Your people were mistaken.

Detective Aday and your ADA busted into Dom's studio with a no-knock warrant.

How they got that warrant with no probable cause will be your problem when

I file a lawsuit for intimidation.

Daniela, any threats you make to me have no impact.

If your client is innocent, it'll all come out in the wash.

And in the meantime, you destroy his place of work, violate his rights. Is

that really how you want to run your department?

I sleep just fine on how I serve my community.

Can you say the same?

Wow.

You forgot who served who over the years.

It's freezing.

I thought you was going to drown me out there.

You two did good.

You were there for each other, and that's how it should always be.

Oh, I can't wait to welcome you into the Silver Lighting. I'm so proud of you.

Thank you, Misty. Good job.

Good job.

Thanks for stepping in. You know I got your back.

Daniela.

You're a great pledge for helping out your weak-ass lying sister.

Alpha, um, gamma.

Get your head out of your ass, Pledge Beverly.

You'd be more like Pledge Daniela.

Without her, you would have dropped a long time ago.

Give it up.

It's not always about you.

Sorrow to sorrow, you really need to realize the world doesn't revolve around

you. Where is this coming from?

Daniela, I was just shot. And finding who did it is kind of important.

So I'm sorry if your boy toy is inconvenienced.

I want to find out who shot you, too.

But it wasn't Dom.

He was at my house at a family gathering the night you were shot.

So I guess that means you both have the same alibi.

You think I could have had anything to do with your shooting?

Are you serious?

As serious as getting shot, Daniela.

You better make this wrong with Dom Wright.

I need to speak with Daniela. I told you, you need an appointment. Why you

can't just let me see her?

Daniela, she refuses to leave. I was just about to call security.

I have a legal matter to discuss.

I need your help.

It's OK.

I know you want Dom to work with Ekstrom.

I think his tracks would be perfect for them.

I can be the one to make that happen.

Why would you do that for me?

I need a favor from you.

My father's been here his whole adult life. was recently pulled over for

speeding. And now he might be getting deported back to the Dominican Republic

because of his status.

Bella, I sincerely don't want anything to happen to your father.

But I'm not an immigration attorney.

But you have deep political ties.

And you're friends with Congress Membra.

I know what you and Don do.

And I don't like it.

When it comes to my family, I will do anything.

Have a seat.

I see what you did.

Figuring out what collateral your grandfather took out.

You're no joke.

No, I'm not.

Daniela, we both know it's a matter of time that I take over that catalog.

Your grandfather's already delinquent on the loan.

I think I have something that may intrigue you.

I like to be intrigued.

Go on.

Have you heard of the group Extra?

I watch their videos on a loop.

What about them?

I'll give you 10 points off their next album, produced by Dom Mayfield.

And in return, you renegotiate Black Gammon's loan.

Extra and Dom are a very attractive offer.

I'm not asking for forgiveness on the loan.

Only an extension and a lower interest rate.

Ellis could still default. Only now, you'll have points on a guaranteed hit.

You are indeed intriguing.

Miss Hernandez.

Will you have that deal again?

With pleasure.

Thank you.

Hey, good news.

Just got word from the DA's office they're returning the items from your

search warrant.

So I'm off the hook.

The bullets they seized from your guns did not match the bullet that shot

Beverly. They didn't want to admit it at first, but luckily you have a way of

getting forensic files from their department.

That's good news.

So we should celebrate.

First, we have some other business to attend to.

Extra. I talked to Bella. Can you really stop her father from being deported?

I already talked to my connect.

If I stop the deportation, then what?

I'll produce Extra's album.

I'm going to need a little more than just that.

Oh, yeah?

Like what?

Points.

To save my grandfather's label, I need to shave 10 points off your publishing

to give to a lender.

Hell no.

Next year, you're one of my first born. No.

You can keep him. I just need that 10%. Your 40% of Extra's album will buy you a

new jet.

Do it for Bella.

Now that's the most conniving, manipulative shit I've ever heard.

But okay, I'll do it.

Great. Now let's celebrate.

What's up with Dom and the no-knock warrant? I'm not going to apologize for

doing my job. So doing your job is lying to a judge about evidence to get a

search warrant?

That's right. I read the order. Not to mention it's pure harassment of a

suspect.

When a cop gets shot, everything gets shut down until we find the shooter. But

when my woman gets shot, all gloves are off.

The reason I got with you is because of your honesty and strength.

Even though it involves me, I need you to do the right thing.

Don't expect me to cut Don Mayfield any slack.

He's a bad dude.

He is.

But I want to get him the right way and keep him in prison. I don't want him to

get off on a technicality.

So from now on, above board?

OK.

Above board from now on.

So we going to kiss and make up, or?

So this report, I want you to have the results to me. Then we'll start adding

some ad hoc folks for this one for the committee. Hello, family.

You're like a stain I just can't get out.

Why the hell are you here? I invited her.

This meeting is strictly for family. Mom, she is family. Family with a legit

stake in the company.

I get it.

I'm not a legit member of this tribe.

But I want to help Black Gammon.

Girl, if you don't get out of here. Ma, let's hear out.

Thank you, Chauncey.

Has anyone heard of Ronnie Chase?

No.

Should I have?

His company, RCT Equity, was about to own Black Gammon's entire catalog.

What? How?

Mr. Shaw entered into a very bad deal with RCT Equity.

Between the sky-high interest rate and the current liquid status of Black

Gammon, it looks probable grandfather will default on the loan.

This gives the lender, Ronnie Chase,

Company's entire catalog.

Making black gammon worthless.

Why would Grandpa sign something like this?

I know he recently paid big bucks for a few acts that didn't pan out.

How do we know you're telling the truth?

I just renegotiated the loan.

For you.

For all of you.

You went to see Ronnie?

That's right.

And I got him to agree to an extension and a lower interest rate.

How much is this going to cost us?

Financially, not a cent.

But before I move forward securing these new terms, I have a demand.

Here she goes.

I want a seat on the board.

Why?

That's a large demand.

Take it or leave it.

Thank you.

We'll take this under consideration.

Well, don't take too much time.

Now, I think we should vote. Yeah, we should.

Hell no.

No, Mom, I think we should make a vote.

And I vote for Daniella to be on the board.

I vote for her to be on the board, too.

Bye, Estelle.

Nice move, cousin Daniella.

Don't stop nigga got that little lock real tight grip on my shit like a

ziplock girl keep looking bitch You can get your shit rocked out that talk and I

walk like a big job Eyes real low like a Lamborghini black with no tint like a
