All language subtitles for Star s03e06 Ante Up.eng

- Last time on Star...
- CARLOTTA: I'm calling it

Rhythm and Bells.

A music and multimedia festival.

Mateo asked me to come
on as a consultant.

You're stealing money from our investors

- to feed your addiction?
- DEREK: You know anything

- about Bankhead Crew?
- I got arrested.

Now let me out of this place!

You'll be placed under...

... 72-hour psych hold.

OLIVIA: I've been
watching you for a while.

Bianca was sitting next
to you on the plane

- and I got jealous.
- Your sister is different.

OLIVIA: That wasn't my sister.

MISS BRUCE: He knows about Carlotta.

How did Mateo figure out about it?

I trusted you.

It's time to renegotiate my deal.

Negotiations end once you sign.

NOAH: My new lawyer seems
to think otherwise.

So I'm-a get me some therapy.

There's this retreat in Jamaica

that Ayanna told me about.

- DEREK: What the hell is this?
- ALEXANDRA: Olivia said she'd been

watching me for a while.

CARLOTTA: Cassie killed your daddy.

She ain't tell you that?

- [CROWD CHEERING]
- MAN: Star! We love you, Simone!

Instead of nodding at your man,

why don't you invite him
over to be here with us?

He's not my man, as you know.

We just... we're making music together.

Yeah, baby-making music.

Y'all are all over Scoopish.

And every other gossip site.

So tonight, instead of
focusing on the gossip,

let's concentrate on
what we came here to do:

keep this festival going for Carlotta.

Yeah. Touch?.

- I miss her.
- Me, too.

But she's got to stay
where she's at and rest.

It's our job to get these people excited

about Rhythm and Bells.

Think Alex is coming?

I hope so.

- She's really going through it.
-
Well, it's the last time

Forget about that sex tape.

Show them Alex Crane doesn't break easy.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Alex, how does it feel to
be just like your father?

Excuse me. Give her some room, please.

Is it true you used the sex tape

- to kick off your solo career?
- No.

Derek, Derek. What's next for you?

What do you mean, next?

I should go look for the girls.

You've been releasing a
lot of independent music,

but no chart-topping hits.

Is quality better than quantity?

What? [SCOFFS]

I-I like to believe I
can do both, thank you.

Come on.

Alex, girl, I'm so happy you're here.

I just really hope we dodge
all the drama tonight.

STAR: There's all the drama.

Let's go.

Hey. All right, when y'all get in there,

make sure you mention
Take 3 will be performing

new music off the new album

at the Rhythm and Bells festival.

That's right. I did hear that

you conned your way
into a job at Gravity.

Ticket sales have been down.

That's 'cause y'all don't know
how to promote a festival

without Miss Carlotta.

But I know business which
is why I brought in

a new headliner who is loud,

brash and very controversial.

[CROWD CHEERING]

- What up, fools?
- Lil Dini?

Are you kidding me? This dude is a joke.

[CAMERAS CLICKING]

Yeah!

[CROWD CHEERING]

ALEXANDRA: Man, he
treats women like trash.

What up, playboy?

MAN: Yeah, boy!

ALEXANDRA: Carlotta would never
have this guy at the festival.

- [AUDIENCE CHEERING]
- Welcome, welcome, welcome

to Gravity Media's Live Stream Q&A.

And the first question is for me.

Oh, yeah. [CHUCKLES]

Okay, uh,

"Noah, who has been inspiring

"your love songs you've
been putting out?"

Uh, to be honest, I-I've
actually just been

in a great...

Great place musically...

And...

Oh, my bad, dawg.

You, uh, you got to excuse
my bitches. [CHUCKLES]

- Pimps up...
- AUDIENCE: Hos down!

Please go back to the dark corners

of the exploitation era
you crawled out of.

Whoa. No, I'm just trying to
spice it up a little bit.

You guys need fans and guess what?

I bring 'em when...

[LAUGHTER]

Hey, how're you holding up?

I'm not discussing this with you.

Well, are you talking to somebody?

- Because it's...
- No, I'm good.

Leave it alone.

[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

Yeah, we've been working
really, really hard on

- this project, so it's really...
- [LIL DINI LAUGHS]

We know you love working hard, Alex.

[AUDIENCE OOHING]

[LAUGHING]: Freak.

STAR: All these jokes and no talent.

Says the young lady who
was copping my flow

- on "There For You."
- [AUDIENCE CHEERING]

STAR: Um, does anybody
recognize his flow?

- On anything?
- LIL DINI: Those are those

raging pregnancy hormones

- that got you messed up.
- Absolutely.

- What is this, Love & Hip Hop?
- Oh, it can be.

- It can be Love & Hip Hop...
- No, no, no, no. Look, look.

LIL DINI: Oh, hold her! Hold her!

Come on, come on, come on.

Unbecoming of a pregnant woman.

I am so sorry for his behavior, y'all.

I cannot wait to see you at
Rhythm and Bells with my girls.

[APPLAUSE]

[AUDIENCE GASPING]

Oh, no.

What I should do is go back
out there and shank his ass.

MISS BRUCE: Oh, calm down, Kill Bill.

Look, maybe we should just
boycott this festival

until Mateo pulls him out.

No, you can't do that either.

Then you'll be in breach of contract.

You'll kill Carlotta's
whole event and her job.

SIMONE: Well, then why don't
we post a video to our fans

that we do not condone
Lil Dini's politics

or woman-hating ways.

- And then we jump him.
- You just want to fight.

Here. Let's shoot this video.

SIMONE: We'll start with that.

- Let's do it.
- All right.

All right, let's go.

STAR: Attention all Take 3 fans.

We need your support.

Rhythm and Bells Festival
is all about non-violence,

- music and community.
- STAR: So, help us

- get Gravity Media to dump Dini.
- ALEXANDRA: Yes.

ALL: #DumpDini.

- Baby. Why're you so sexy?
- [CAMERA CLICKING]

- Delete it.
- Damn.

- Delete it, I'm serious.
- Why?

- Please don't delete it.
- I'm not gonna have pics

all over the Internet.

You saw what just happened to Alex.

I don't know if you noticed,
but we're about to have

a kid together and you
still don't trust me.

I'm having a baby in two months;
people expect me to fail at that

and at my solo album.

Then let's get to work.

- Okay?
- Okay.

I feel like I need something new.

Something fresh.

The stuff Noah's been
working on is cool.

Maybe that could work.

You want to work with your ex?

Noah is not my ex.

How many times have
we been through this?

You know exactly what it was.

I'm saying that a duet could be cool.

I'm supposed to be okay with this?

Yes, you're supposed
to be cool with that.

Do you want, like, a space or something?

Or a drawer?

It's cool; I've been living
out this bag my whole life.

I'm not getting rid of this bag.

Mm, I think it's time.

- It's not.
- Baby.

- You want me to help you?
- Don't talk about my bag.

Your bag is fine.

Damn.

[SIGHS]

You don't keep your eye on
the target like you used to.

But I can still pop your ass, no cap.

Hmm.

Ran into the chief of police
at a fundraiser tonight.

Really?

He said they have an informant

running around your club.

Well, look, I'm clean
outside of your dirt.

My dirt keeps the bills paid.

- Now...
- [SIGHS]

We got a rat problem.

And we can't have them interfering

with our business agreement.

Or I'll be forced to shut
down our little club.

And I don't want to do that.

Trust me, you won't have to.

Hmm.

Yep.

Good girl.

[SCOFFS] Good girl, my ass.

[SCOFFS]

You got that look in your eyes;
yeah, I'm here for that, too.

[MEGAN MOANING]

[MOANS ECHOING]

Who is this girl that got
you all in your feelings?

[SCOFFS] Who said that there's a her?

[CHUCKLES] I mean, you sitting here

with the lights all dim and
this butter-smooth music

like you D'Angelo or somebody.

Got to be something.

All right, I'm-I'm seeing this girl.

What's the hesitation?

And I ain't supposed to be
dating this soon in my sobriety.

You put too much on your plate,

you gonna break the whole damn table.

But how do you control it?

Relationships, they find you.

You don't find them.

[SIGHS] Yeah, well.

[SIGHS]

To be fair, I don't think I
could handle another loss.

Then don't speak it into existence.

You sound like my pops.

Yeah.

Gay minds think alike.

Girl, I know that smile.

You having a thot process.

- Stop it, bitch.
- So you in a relationship

and you ain't broadcasting?

- Bitch, it's so complicated.
- Run me the tea.

Girl, why this man related
to one of my friends?

And I ain't trying to
get caught in no mess.

Mm-mm. No, you got to tell
your friend the truth.

'Cause, girl, secrets
destroy everything.

Look at what it did to my damn family.

[SIGHS]

What, is it about your Auntie Cassie?

'Cause she called me and told me

you ain't been in the club
in weeks or called her back.

Ain't nothing. I just miss my mama.

Yeah. I understand that.

But maybe you should call her back.

For the bitch to call
my phone, and she know

I'm not using her right now,

she must really be worried.

Just call her back. You
know she loves you.

_

- [DOOR CLOSES]
- So...

Principal Sportswear is
thinking about dropping me

because of this damn sex tape.

I'm sorry.

Well, don't be.

I'm sick of sitting around
waiting for another damn thing

to happen to me.

See, that's what I was saying, like,

you got to put yourself in front...

I know. Which is why I
called Mateo this morning.

I'm thinking about
shooting digital content

of my life behind the music.

Wait, so you actually
want to get on camera?

I just feel like I lost myself
with everything that's going on.

And the only way to get that back

is if I put myself out there.

Even if I hate it.

[SIGHS] I'm gonna go lay down.

[PHONE VIBRATING]

Hello?

Yeah, I was just about
to call you. Yeah.

I can still meet.

What time?

If this isn't about business,
I got nothing to say to you.

Mateo and the investors,

they're looking to save money.

They're-they're cutting Black Ivy.

Damn.

Well, there's got to be
some way that we can

get this movie back on track, I mean...

Well, right now, one of
the hottest commodities

that we can exploit is...

- Jackson?
- I mean, he's got a huge IG following,

looks like Channing Tatum,
and he's cheap as dirt.

We could shoot a trailer of
the last scene in the movie,

influence investors to at least
keep this project alive.

So, you guys want me to
do a lovemaking scene

with my sister's baby daddy?

You're right. You're right.

I don't... What was I thinking?

No, no, it's...

Look, it's fine. I'll do it.

Purple orchids for Megan Jetter.

Yeah, same-same address
as yesterday. Thanks.

Get out of that damn chair

before I snatch your black ass up!

- What now, Cassie?
- Where's the wire, snitch?

I know you been talking to the cops.

Yo, you're tripping. You legit, right?

How is this partnership gonna work

when I can't even trust you, Maurice?

You're talking about trust,

and you're up in here looking for wires?

Well, at least I keep my word,

unlike your shady ass, backdooring

- to get my sister's job.
- Wait a minute.

You came out trying to
steal Carlotta's clients,

now you're judging me
for finishing the job?

That's my sister, I can do that.

I just got put in charge of
saving Carlotta's R&B fest.

- You know what that means?
- No.

It means I'm one step closer

to building my music empire.

Our empire.

Well, that name's taken anyway.

Now, you done searching me, boss?

For now.

So, you're going full
Kardashian on me now?

Uh, no. I refuse to be
another ratchet black girl

on reality TV, okay?

I'm just trying to wrap my head around

getting in front of a camera again.

Well, if you really
want people to tune in,

I suggest getting E.P. in there.

What are you... what
are you talking about?

What's E.P.?

Uh, she hasn't been
online for a while, Star.

Oh. You don't know?

Social media has named your
boyfriend "Brotha Eggplant."

[GASPS] Nice.

I'm-I'm done.

- I hate the Internet. Officially.
- Well,

it's not going nowhere, so use it.

Lean into it, like I did
with my baby daddy drama.

- It worked.
- Did it?

Yeah, um, speaking of, like, eggplants

and baby daddies and all, uh...

I just wanted to let you know that...

Jackson's gonna be in the movie,

and I have to kiss him.

Oh. That's awkward.

Jackson's gonna be in the movie?

Trust me, I really
don't want to do this.

Baby, I could care less.
I'm just mad because

I've been working my ass off every day,

and this dude shoots to the
top because a condom broke?

ALEXANDRA: Mm-hmm. Yep.

You want to know what that's called?

- BOTH: What?
- White male privilege.

- Okay.
- Oh...

- That was... that was crazy.
- In the flesh.

Man, you guys are gonna
be, like, sharing saliva.

- That's weird.
- I'm gonna barf.

Ladies, have a seat.

So, your "Dump Dini" hashtag
actually gained some traction.

- Oh, you're welcome.
- That was the plan.

Yeah, but we can't have
all this bad press,

so y'all got to squash this beef

so we can get this
festival back on track.

Oh, okay. Squash the beef.

I'm not trying to ruin the festival.

Okay, Maurice has explained
to me that it's going to help

both of our careers, you
know, if we work together.

So, let's call a truce. I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have came in hot like that.

[STAR SCOFFS]

Is that all you got, is that
the end of your speech?

That's what we came here for?

I mean, what, you want
me to change who I am?

That would be great, starting
with the Christmas tree tattoo

on the side of your face.

- That's disrespect.
- Look,

if you want to be a
part of this festival,

you can't treat women like dogs.

- Period.
- And call yourself a pimp,

and promote violence against women.

I'm not promo... First of all,

that's your definition of
the word "pimp." Pimping.

My-my version, okay, it's
just somebody that comes in

and manipulates the situation,

and then helps it to
work out in their favor.

But you can't change the
definition of a word.

And I can't unwrite my songs, either.

So what do you want me to do?

What I'd like for you to
do is take that apology

that you just gave us, and
give it to your mother,

who deserves it, 'cause we
don't need this. Boy, bye.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Lil Dini, look, if you
want to be a part of this,

you got to come correct.

Come on, bro.

I do want to be a part
of this, so I'm sorry,

and I'll put out a statement.

Better be good.

I knew his ass would crack.

Yep. Are we done?

[THUNDER RUMBLES]

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Niece, where you been?

Tied up with Jayden,

and trying to help out more around here

since Mama's gone.

That's good she's taking a break.

You know, sometimes when
God wants us to relax,

he slows us down.

[THUNDER RUMBLES]

God didn't have nothing to do with this.

Cotton, are you okay?

Is something bothering you?

What happened to you helping
me find my father's killer?

I've been busy at the club.

So, should I maybe figure
it out myself, you think?

No, I think you should
chill and let me figure...

- Auntie Cassie!
- Hey. [LAUGHS]

Mama's taking me to get
pizza. You should come.

I would, but I got to
get back to the club.

Y'all have a good time, okay?

What do you think?

Yeah, it's getting there.

- Getting there? Come on.
- It's getting there.

- It's dope. It's the same thing.
- Baby...

It means the same thing.

- I'm not kissing you.
- Why?

'Cause I'm not about
to kiss the same dude

who's kissing my sister.

Well, technically, that
hasn't happened yet.

I still can't believe

they're about to put me
in that movie, though.

- Me either.
- [KNOCK ON DOOR]

I got it.

- NOAH: Hey.
- Hey.

- Thanks for coming.
- Oh, no worries.

I was just holed up in my studio.

It'd be nice to, uh,
try out some new digs.

This place is crazy. What up, Jackson?

Nothing, man. I was just leaving.

I got an audition.

Hey, you know, um...

you know I was in that first.

I know what they're looking for,

so if you-you want any
tips, holler at me.

- [DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
- Okay, yeah, that...

that went well.

Are you sure ole boy's
all right with this?

Probably would've helped
if you didn't start with,

"I was up in that first."

- I said that?
- [CHUCKLING]: Yes, you did.

- Oh, that's messed up.
- Oh, my God.

What'd you think about
the lyrics I sent?

Kind of different from the
boss-bitch stuff, but, um...

- Thanks.
- I like it.

I didn't know pretty boy could
pull out that kind of emotion.

It's not even about him.

- Okay.
- Can you focus?

I mean, I'm just, I'm just
trying to understand, like,

if you're sleeping with somebody

and you're writing love songs,

usually it's about them.

How do you know I'm sleeping with him?

I-I mean, you know, I don't
know, you know, I...

Pssh. There's no signs at all

- saying anything.
- [CHUCKLING]: Oh, my God.

Play it.

Okay, okay.

- Can I be honest?
- Yep.

Um, I think it could use a little work.

All right, that's why
you're here; do your magic.

All right.

A go-bag, huh?

I didn't know denial
would look good on you.

I take that thing everywhere I go.

Leave me alone.

- [SIGHS]
- [DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

We've all become family,

- almost instantly...
- Hey, babe.

- And that's Derek.
- What's going on?

- No, don't do that.
- Hey, you. Wha... ?

No heads-up? No nothing?

You were in the shower.

Uh, give us a minute.

What are, what are you doing?

You know I don't like cameras
in my house like that.

I told you I was gonna do this.

Not in here. Not with me.

Well, where else?

Figure it out. You're trippin'.

SIMONE: I guess this is good-bye.

This isn't good-bye.

I'm not letting you leave.

I don't think I can stay much longer.

You have to. You have my heart, Luna.

NINA: Wait, you know what,

let's just take that back for a second

and just... let go.

Just don't think about anything.

Yeah. Let it go. Okay.

JACKSON: You have my heart, Luna.

I'm sorry, I can't.

I just... I know where
his mouth has been.

NINA: Well, let's just cut
everything for a second,

and we can just... we can
work on this another time.

Thank you, Jacks.

I can't pitch this garbage
to our investors.

It needs work, okay?

But Black Ivy was supposed to
launch Gravity Indie Film.

We don't have enough money to go around.

First you gamble our money,

and now you're too afraid
to go to the investors

to fight for my passion project?

[SIGHS]

[PHONE VIBRATING]

You gonna pick the phone up?

It's rang, like, five times.

- Uh, come on, now.
- Oh, who's Megan?

- Who is it?
- Some privacy, please.

All right. So, I got a go-bag,

but at least I'm not ghosting nobody.

It's called taking it slow, Star.

All right, I...

I don't want to make the same mistakes

- I made before.
- Right.

Well, I guess we're messed up

in all the same ways.

No, we're not.

All right? You're pushing
off a relationship

because you're too afraid
it's gonna ruin your career.

It's not about a career.

Then what's it about?

Hey, you're just in time.
We're about to cut vocals.

Actually, I had some
thoughts about the track.

Cool. Uh, Noah made some adjustments.

You should hear them. They're dope.

All right, let me hear it.

Cool.

I'm ready when y'all are.

[MUSIC PLAYS]

[VOCALIZING]

STAR:
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

BOTH:
I don't want to hurt you

-
Breathless -
Ooh, yeah

-
Breathless -
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

- [CLEARS THROAT] Yo, bro.
- You can kind of sing.

Can I talk to you for a second?

What's up?

Yo, Lil Dini just posted
his apology video

to the Gravity Media page.

I want to apologize to-to my fans,

Take 3's fans.

I really just wanted to
preview a song that me

and Take 3 have been working on,

share it from my heart.

Psych!

STAR:
Boy, bye...

Ay.

- ALEXANDRA:
Treat women like dogs - Is that y'all?

This fool recorded us.

-
Treat women like dogs... - [BARKS]

Meet me at club Karma tomorrow night

and understand something,

pimping ain't dead.

- [LAUGHING]
-
Treat women like dogs...

STAR:
Boy, bye...

Take that gremlin's video off
the Gravity Media page now

- before we sue his ass.
- Why, Star?

Web traffic has surpassed
our biggest day,

and his video has double the
amount of hits as yours.

Is that all you care about?

When you should be
standing up to this coward

about his misogyny.

Look, we're all professionals.

Are we?

'Cause all I see is you,

an unprofessional scumbag, and one dude

who needs to climb back on
to the romance novel cover

- he climbed off of.
- Listen, Star,

you're gonna have to get a tougher skin.

You have no idea how tough our skin is.

That's good to know because
unless you want to be

in breach of contract, you will
keep promoting this festival,

starting with your performance
tonight at Karma.

Got it?

NINA: Working hard is what's
gonna make you a star.

Yeah, well, I...

just I'm sad I couldn't do that
during the chemistry read.

I just can't get over the fact

that I'm kissing Star's baby daddy.

Yeah. [CHUCKLES]

Do you know why I want this movie?

It speaks to me, personally.

She steps out of her comfort
zone to find herself.

That's my life.

Simone, why do you want this movie?

It's the first thing that's all mine.

You know, I...

I want this just as much
as Star wants her music.

Good.

Then we got to fight for it.

Why don't you... I don't know,

why don't you imagine that
Jackson's somebody else?

Somebody that you care about,

like your husband.

Yeah.

Hey.

You know you could've
just sent a messenger.

I want to talk to you about
the flowers you sent.

They were a reminder

that you were a wonderful
wife and mother.

We made a beautiful baby.

I can't go there.

Look, you can't keep
blaming yourself, either.

You'll never know how it felt
to find her in that crib.

That guilt, that pain
will be with me forever.

Why the hell would I
want to remember that?

Baby, I'm sorry. That
wasn't my intention.

Yeah, well, you weren't
there that night.

Look, I've spent every waking moment

trying to make up for that.

I can't bring Kayla back,

but at least I can finally
give you the life you deserve.

- [DOOR CLOSES]
- NOAH: Megan?

It's like that?

Megan, what... ?

Yo, back-back up.

- Get your hands off me.
- Hey! Stop, Maurice.

- Noah, stop it. Stop.
- What?

Stop.

Get off me.

- Noah.
- Don't touch me.

[WHISPERING]: You've got this. Okay?

- Let's go.
- Okay.

- Okay.
- All right.

- She ready?
- Yeah.

- Hey.
- You good?

Yeah, yeah.

All right, here we go,
guys. Picture's up.

- And...
- Okay.

- Ready?
- Yeah.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Okay.

So I have an idea. How about, um,

I pretend that you're Angel,
my husband, and then...

- you pretend I'm Star.
- How's it going?

I didn't invite you to set.

DIRECTOR: And action.

I can't believe this is the last
time I'm seeing you for a while.

JACKSON: I know, I can't believe
I have to leave like this.

I'll be waiting for you
when you get back.

You'll always have my heart, Luna.

DIRECTOR: Cut.

[BELL RINGS]

NINA: That was amazing!

That was amazing.

Thank you.

[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

You saw the crowd out there?

I can't believe we got
to share the stage

with this fake Iceberg Slim.

What happened to your face?

- I-I need a drink.
- No, you don't.

MEGAN: Noah.

I'll get you a water, though.

- Let me explain.
- No, no, no.

You ain't got nothing to say to me.

All right? We good.

Maurice and I lost a child.

Today is the anniversary
of our daughter's death.

He was comforting me

and things sped out of control.

I'm sorry. All right, I...

- I didn't know.
- I thought

I could block out some of
that pain being with you,

but this has...

I get it.

All right, I'm...

I'm just, I'm just getting sober now

and-and, you know, this
whole Maurice thing

is just too deep for me

- right now to handle it. I...
- I get it. Um...

I'm happy to still act as your attorney,

or I can refer you to someone else.

[APPLAUSE, CHEERING]

It's Lil Dini in this thing.

I got a brand-new album coming out.

Make sure y'all cop the new album.

Show some love, you feel me?

Now what I need y'all to do is just,

you know, stay in your seats
and show them some love

and remember this concept: Pimps up!

- AUDIENCE: Hos down!
- Ay!

A-Town's down, all right, all right.

STAR: 'Sup, y'all?

Lil Dini ain't a pimp.

He's from Buckhead.

Born and raised, right?

He's never been shot, he's
never seen anybody dead.

- His name is Stephen Pardini.
- [LAUGHTER]

And Stephen lives with both his parents.

And Stephen's parents got
a real nice marriage.

[AUDIENCE CLAMORING]

Play it back?

[APPLAUSE, CHEERING]

-
Yellow tape, yellow tape -
Yellow tape, yellow tape

-
DOA, DOA -
DOA, DOA

-
Took a shot, a mistake -
Took a shot, a mistake

-
Yellow tape, yellow tape -
Yellow, yellow, yellow

- [AUDIENCE OOHING]
-
I'm about to dead this conversation

-
Into the softest -
Extra, extra, they gonna read it

[APPLAUSE, CHEERING]

You're doing too much.

Okay? Y'all are real disrespectful.

Boy, don't you dare
disrespect women again.

You know where the hell you came from?

- Africa.
- And what they call that?

The fatherland or the motherland?

- [AUDIENCE OOHING]
- Girls up, pimps down.

One more time.

ALL: Girls up, pimps down!

AUDIENCE [CHANTING]: Take 3! Take 3!

Take 3! Take 3! Take 3!

[CHANTING CONTINUES]

Bruce, how did you get all
that dirt on Lil Dini?

Bitch, it pays to have
played with the soundman.

Mm... I'm sorry, what?

[LAUGHTER]

You know, the only way to end a bully

is to gut him like a fish.

And that's what we did tonight, ladies.

- MISS BRUCE: Depends on who the bully is.
- [PHONE CHIMES]

_

Ah, Miss Bruce got some new trade?

Uh, this is more than trade, bitch,

this is husband material.

- STAR: Oh, okay.
- ALEXANDRA: Okay.

MISS BRUCE: The girls
can't take me, honey.

- [LAUGHTER]
- 'Cause I got that glow, girl.

You got your pregnant glow, girl.

- Let me get me one.
- [LAUGHTER]

Okay. I'm-a follow you out.

ALEXANDRA: The camera guy
got some good stuff tonight

for the docuseries.

I think this is all gonna
cut together nicely.

Look at Lil Dini's face, right there.

- STAR: Aw, he looks so stupid.
- [LAUGHTER]

I can't believe you're
gonna have a show.

Just let me be the Jordyn to your Kylie.

Please.

SIMONE: And what am I?

STAR: Stormi, the baby.

[SIMONE LAUGHS]

You don't deserve to be
in this family anymore.

Look, I'm not the one breaking
family rules, talking to 5-0.

I was trying to figure out
what happened to my father.

What are you looking for?
It's right here.

Move again.

You see, I grew up without a dad.

Then I got one, and he accepted me.

He accepted me like no man ever will.

And you took him from me. You...

Hey, you know what?

Do it.

Pull the trigger. I deserve it.

Just know killing me ain't
gonna make you feel better.

Shut up.

- It's gonna change you.
- Shut up!

It's gonna change you the way

it changed me, Cotton.

I hate you.

[CRYING]: I hate myself

for breaking this whole family apart.

It's like a cycle with us. It
just keeps going and going.

And the only one strong enough

to make it stop and bring us
all back together is you.

[CRYING]

[DOORBELL RINGS]

I went to the liquor store.

I was just gonna go home and drink.

Instead I ended up here.

You could never be the
cause of me relapsing.

I'm in a great place with you,

and I'm damn sure not
about to let that go.

Come here.

I'll have to call you back.
All right, great.

- Hey.
- Hey.

You said you wanted to see me in person,

so I'm guessing that it's bad news?

The investors, they're willing
to put the money behind it.

And, I-I'm sorry.

I-I never meant to betray you, Simone.

I know. You know, when you told me

that I should imagine kissing
someone that I cared about,

I didn't think about my husband.

I thought about you.

I don't know what this means, but...

I know that I love my husband, and...

I have to go.

But congrats.

You, too.

- [DOOR CLOSES]
- Hey, baby.

I didn't know you were coming tonight.

Yeah, I did. Had to leave
early, though, but...

- Really, Derek?
- Come on...

Uh, is this payback for
Noah, or something?

- I did not cheat on you.
- No, don't. Don't!

I can't tell you how many times
I heard that growing up.

Before I say the wrong
thing, I'm-a walk outside,

- and you just take a minute.
- No.

- Yes.
- Derek, do not walk out!

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

[PANTING]

Star, do you think I'm
stupid or something?

Huh?

Writing songs about Noah.

That song was not about him.

I've put you off a lot,
and I'm wrong for that.

- Look pretty.
- What are you doing?

- Make a cute face.
- Stop.

You like that filter?

Are you serious right now?

- Instagram official?
- Mm-hmm.

You know that's like
marriage these days, right?

Mm-hmm.

Ooh, look who gave us
our fist like: Noah.

Doesn't ring a bell.

[SIGHS] She's suspicious.

Are you gonna tell her about us?

What do you think is gonna
happen if I let her know

I'm a criminal informant?

Then you shouldn't have been caught

with the Bankhead Crew that day.

I was just trying to get in with them.

I want justice for my grandma, okay?

The faster you help us figure out

what dirt they're doing
out of that club,

the sooner we can turn one of them out

into giving up your grandma's rapist.

Do you understand?

[SIGHS]

Yeah.

Then I'll be in touch.
