Queens (2021) s01e06 Episode Script
Behind the Throne
1
- Let's go
- I want to be regular off stage.
- You're saying I'm - A stale Muffin.
I slipped and called you "Dad.
" Is that cool, Dad? Jill's in a great place.
She is blossoming.
Who are you? - I'm your mother.
- Ko-Ko-Ko-Ko-Ko-Konichiwa Fivi.
Fivio Foreign.
Call me whatever you want, just just call me.
Look, we can't lose.
Even if we all fall into a hole, we got each other.
- We won.
- That's slick, that's girl, that's it, that's all I'm the prettiest woman you ever have seen in your life I'm that chick Yo, we were flawless! When Valeria whipped her hair, Will Smith damn near fainted! Hey, yo, my phone is blowing up.
They want us for "Saturday Night Live," baby! Oh, my God! - Oh, my God.
- There is no stopping us! Come on, bring it in.
Whoo! Whoo! Queens! Unless they stop themselves.
The biggest-selling female hip-hop group of all time poised to conquer the charts once again.
We've been invited to go behind the throne as Queens make their first music video in two damn decades.
But what if I told you Nasty Bitches were alive and well? Am I canceled? Controversy.
These women are not who they claim to be.
- No cap.
- Betrayal.
Yes, Naomi! You are the queen! Ego.
But also, redemption and family.
I'm focusing on the time we have, not the time we lost.
A group poised to reclaim their history, their throne, destined to make history repeat itself? Hold up.
I can't.
Find out I can't do this.
as we go behind the scenes.
And we are the Breakfast Club.
Here with the man, Fivio.
He's having a real moment in the game right now.
Bow.
Hey, you know what it is.
Blessed to be here.
You lookin' a little run-down, Fivio.
Late night at the AMA party? Dipped out early.
But that don't mean I got no sleep.
Woman got me turned around.
For real, for real.
So, who got you so spun? I don't kiss and tell normally.
But shawty made me wanna spread the gospel.
I'd buy old girl a first edition of "The Old Man and the Sea.
" God.
Latto? Kash Doll? Who? They're girls.
This is a queen.
Yerp.
P-Sex, you a real one.
What? - Ma? - Yeah.
What were you listening to? Nothing.
Mm.
Mm.
We're out of waffles.
Okay.
- Mom? - Hmm? Did you do stuff with Fivio Foreign? I followed your recipe to a "T.
" Hmm.
It's pretty good, right? Hmm.
Too much salt? It's terrible, isn't it? I've eaten worse I think.
This was a nice gesture.
Thank you.
I got you something.
These aren't real diamonds.
Gross.
I can't.
Stop.
You can.
I've always wanted to buy my mom something nice, and now I get to.
I owe you an explanation.
Yes, and I want to know everything.
But it can wait.
I'm enjoying this.
Let me make us something edible, huh? Hopefully, now everyone can move forward.
Can I have a minute with Jill? Of course.
I'm sorry.
Loving you as much as I do isn't an excuse for how I behaved.
I understand.
But thank you.
Just do me one favor.
You're a good person.
Don't change too much.
Yo.
You gave Jojo your chain? She told you? She did.
How come I always feel like I walked into a scene from "The Notebook" when you two are together? Listen, we have to capitalize on the heat from the AMAs.
Yes, it's definitely time we drop our new single on the world, y'all obliterate the patriarchy.
Yo, the song is so dope.
I'm proud of us.
It's a real statement.
Gotta do a video, too.
And "Behind the Video" wants us to shoot a documentary.
I'm talking a new song, a video, and a BTS doc drop on the same day.
Wait, we gotta have cameras following us 24/7? Well, Alicia says content is king.
My kids found out about me and Fivio Foreign.
Bad content.
Their dad is dead.
Their mom is home half as much as she used to be.
I have to ease them into this.
Not put myself on "The Real World.
" Welcome to being a single mom with a career in music.
We present the image we want to sell that's it.
Unified.
It feels like it's all right there for us, ladies.
For real, and y'all know Valeria is down.
Psh, okay.
All right, bet.
- Let's ride.
- Yay! Ey yo, Muffin just sent her verse for the new single.
Let's check it out.
Oh, just in time.
I was cooking for my mom.
I love hearing a sentence I never thought I would hear.
- What's her explanation? - Explanation? For why she left baby Valeria on a New York street.
We haven't gotten into it.
That's not even my question.
I'm like, "Why this chick show up now?" Damn! Can I be happy for a minute? I mean, it's dope you're kicking it, but in my experience, when family shows up out of the blue, they want - Money.
- Money.
Money.
I gave her a diamond necklace this morning that I practically had to force around her neck.
Look, it's nice to see you so open, but - Protect yourself.
- Mm.
That's all.
Well, let's see what Muffin's got.
What you call me? What you call me? I made you, a queen is what you call me I've got a body, I flaunt it Might let him hit if he want it Party till six in the mornin' Till I'm yawnin' Co-Co-Co-Co-Co-Court is in session I am Lil Muffin, and I am processing I am the prettiest chick with some serious drip I'm the first, I could never be second Ah That'll work.
Will that work? For sure, but, uh What? Muffin's my client, so I hate to do this, but I wouldn't be doing right by y'all if I didn't mention that Lady London submitted a verse, too unsolicited.
Lady London wants to collab with us? She is it right now.
It doesn't matter.
We wouldn't be here without Muffin.
- Facts.
- So, we're not even gonna give it a listen? Jill, would you talk some sense into V? It's not always about business.
It's not always about business.
But this is.
I mean, let's just keep it real.
Muffin has kinda fallen off.
I mean, she went to rehab.
And I empathize, Lord knows, but We need to do what it takes.
We want what we threw away 20 years ago a world tour.
- Yes! - Look, I'm late.
I gotta pick up Olivia from dance.
Listen if you want, but it's gotta be Muffin.
We should just listen anyway.
Could be a non-factor.
I only come around where the commas at So when you see me, take a bow like Rihanna said Speak when the time is set, talk when I tell you to Shut up Matter of fact You don't walk till I tell you move Bossed up, you is not a dog, you's a lost pup I could run this world size 39 boss pumps Costs none, all of you fellas, all of you dudes Hit your mother up and tell her you love her All of you do women run this Okay, who's telling Muffin she's out? Look, I picked her up from rehab, y'all.
I know what kind of person she's trying to be.
I mean, her video flopped.
She had a unicorn horn planted in her head to stay relevant.
I want no part of being the reason she has a relapse.
Then let's vote.
Democracy and all that.
I mean, we know Bree is riding with Muffin.
Well, y'all know where I'm at.
I stay loyal.
Lady London, her verse is objectively better.
When I'm with y'all, I have to think about what's best for you.
London's the smart move right now.
Jill, you're cool with stabbing your friend in the back? You geriatric-ass traitors! Well, we wanted to tell you in person.
Does that make you a good person, Jill? You have every right to be pissed.
I'm pissed.
This wasn't my call, Muffin.
We voted.
3 to 2.
And you're one of the three? We will get your career back on track on my family.
Mm-hmm.
I guess this is who you are now.
Lauren.
- Is it true the divorce is finalized? - That's a private matter.
U-um, how does it feel to be the most famous gay on the planet right now? I love my life.
I love you.
If I knew I'd get this much attention, I would have said I was gay ages ago.
They were washed! I put them bitches back on the map! And Jill Jill, of all people My ham leg is missing.
It is from Iberia.
Yo, my heart been, like, sucked out with a straw! Y'all been my family since middle school, and it's like you just don't even care how they betrayed me and the fact that my career is in the dumpster! You're wrong.
We are very aware how your career is now a dumpster fire.
- Hmm.
- And frankly, we're concerned you don't have a plan for us.
Those nasty-bitch Queens went abracadabra after 20 years, came back rapping about divorce and maxi pads, and now they're back on top.
What's our next move, Muff? We need you to get transformational.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Eric.
I need to sit down with the label.
You've barely touched your food.
We should, um It's time to talk.
What's this? $100,000.
If you're here for money, there it is.
Take it and go.
This is my fault.
I didn't know how you'd react to me showing up, but y-you made it easy on me when you didn't have to.
I came to Queens from Puerto Rico with my dad.
My mom died when I was young.
I didn't want to come.
But then I fell in love with New York.
And I fell in love with a boy.
Javier.
He had a goatee.
I thought he was cute.
And then I was 19 and pregnant.
And then I was 19 and married.
The first time Javi choked me until I passed out, I fought back.
That was a mistake, and then I thought, "It's only a matter of time before he hurt you.
" See, I could take it o-or live with it, I guess but but you you were a baby.
This precious soul who was the only reason, honestly, why I I didn't kill myself.
I couldn't stomach the thought of him hurting you.
The day I took you to the shelter, I put the shade down on the bassinet, because I knew that if I looked at you, I couldn't do the thing that I knew I needed to do.
I went back to Puerto Rico and pretended like my life in New York never happened.
And I saw you on TV over the years.
And it helped me feel better about abandoning you.
So I'll go if that's what you want.
But not because you gave me $100,000.
Can I hug you? Yes.
Don't ever let go.
I won't.
I can't.
You could move.
You could also help me clean.
I'm good.
Hello? Ms.
Pat? Hey, you almost here? I I've gotta get to work.
My call time's Okay, yeah.
Um, feel better.
Are you uncomfortable? Yes.
Hey, we are just here to document this special moment of the first Queens music video.
There is nothing to worry about, okay? No need to be extra.
I'm ready to be extra-extra.
Todos, esta es mi mama.
This is my mother.
- It's really nice to meet you.
- Oh.
I have heard so much about you.
These cameras are recording? Pretend we're not here.
You good? All good.
Oh, sorry.
I know I'm the last to arrive.
No, you're not, actually for once.
Yeah, Bree's running late.
Nanny called in sick.
She's bringing the kids.
This is Rodrigo Canales, the hottest music-video director in the game.
I'm here to support you ladies, make sure you feel good and safe.
I'm a huge fan.
And, Naomi, I actually saw you perform a solo show at Pappy and Harriet's.
In Pioneertown? There were only like 12 people at that show.
I was one of them.
It was worth the trip.
I-I'm humbled to be a small part of your comeback story, so we'll shoot for two days with the Queens and a final day with you and Lady London.
Now, the first step to feeling good is looking good, which should be easy.
So, let's get you in hair and makeup.
- Did you see the way he was looking at Naomi? - Oh, my Like a damn snack.
He is fine like if Derek Jeter was a sherpa.
V, your mom must be losing her mind.
I'm just glad she could come.
I hope she's proud of me.
Are you kidding me? Of course she is.
What? If I knew I'd get this much attention, I would have said I was gay ages ago.
So, everyone on the Internet thinks Thinks you came out for a come-up.
That was fast.
You went from queer icon to public enemy number one in five months.
Am I canceled? The fact that anyone could even think I would use my sexuality to advance my career, it's really hurtful.
I mean, they don't know what I've been through.
W y you certainly haven't shied away from the cameras since coming out.
Because I'm finally free to be myself.
You know, we are so thirsty to take people down in this country that we will literally twist their words to create a villain.
So, you are fighting back? - What are you doing? - Saving you.
You can't win against Twitter trolls.
The people inside this phone will move on when John Oliver tells them who to hate next.
Lay down, get dragged, get up, and brace yourself to do it all over again.
That's the price of fame in 2021.
Don't give the trolls any more fuel.
Ooh, thank you, Trent.
Yeah.
What the hell?! Come back here! Get back here right now! Oh, my God.
You're supposed to be watching them, and you're laughing? When are we going home? When I'm done with work.
My soccer match is at 4:00.
Oh, I'm sorry, baby.
You're gonna have to skip this one.
It's the semis.
Okay, let me see if Gary's parents can come pick you up, okay? We're ready to roll when you are.
Yeah.
- Just go.
- I'm really sorry.
Yeah, keep being a slut.
What did you just say?! It's what my friends say because of the whole Fivio Foreign thing.
That's none of their business, or yours and apologize right now for even thinking those words about your mother before you get yourself hurt.
Whatever.
- Boy, if you don't - They really need you on set.
I'mma deal with you later.
Mama bear and my babies are my blessin's As a defendant my testimony is let's give The women back they voices, vote for pro choices My body, my rules, you can't avoid this So it's a mistrial, now you under arraignment - Cut! - Judge and the jury Cut! Cut! I'm sorry, I will get it.
Let's take five.
Oh, no, I'm good.
I actually want to speak with Naomi.
Oh, okay.
Does something not look right? Listen, don't hate me for saying this, but, Naomi, the camera's gonna find you.
Whether you hide in the back or not, the camera finds you because someone like you is impossible to hide.
So, stop trying.
That's all.
You didn't take my advice.
My integrity is on the line.
You're lying with pigs.
Trust.
Okay, let's run it back.
This time, we'll start with Naomi's verse.
Hey, Layton.
Action.
There'll be no acquittal for the suffering and pain Video shows he's unarmed but you still take aim That's why we scream, "No justice and no peace!" And no more Black bodies spillin' blood On the cold world's concrete Yeah Yes, Naomi! You are the queen! Good job, baby! Sure you want to do this? It's the only thing that feels right.
Whew.
Lil Muffin is done recording music.
Contractually, you owe us one more album, but we want to be in the Lil Muffin business long-term.
Lil Muffin business went "poof.
" Eric? Listen to the woman.
Your "vacation" stalled our momentum, but we can get it back.
Lil Muffin is a character I grew out of myself.
She's weird.
She's all the little quirks I built from taking sick days from school because I was bullied.
Watching hours and hours of "Naruto" underneath a Nicki Minaj poster.
But Muffin has morphed into something else.
And getting clean, buying my own ham I have to represent who I am now.
That isn't Muffin.
I want to record my next album as Lauren.
When you first signed me, you said that you trusted my vision.
I'm asking you to trust me one more time.
I've gotta run this up to the top.
But let's make our first Lauren album.
To serenity, peace, and courage! Yes, queen! Make that cake! We still livin'! Ham all day! I can't believe they went for it! What you doin' with your wigs? Mm.
Mm-mm-mm.
Yo, E-Roc! We back! Those assholes dropped us.
The label is voiding your contract.
They can do that? They also want to settle the bill.
Bill? What I look like, Destiny's Child? You owe 750 racks we were hoping to make up on the next album.
Okay, I can sell the house.
That's gotta be a couple millie.
Label owns the house.
You pay rent.
- Oh.
- We'll figure this out.
Hang tight and I will figure figure something out.
If you could, uh, rephrase the question in your answer.
"Mother gave me up for adoption because " Nah.
Thanks, but, nah.
If I say that, you're gonna use it, and some things don't need to be hyped.
Well, what would you like to say about your mother showing back up in your life after all these years? My mother showing back up in my life is the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Being with her makes me a better person.
I'm focusing on the time we have, not the time we lost.
Like that.
Yeah, mm-hmm, but better.
And, no, actually.
You make it look so easy like how I play the air guitar.
You got me all nervous, sitting here with a legend.
I'm not worthy.
No, you are not.
But we gonna get this chord right or die trying, okay? Can I help? Yeah.
Okay, now, if you can't hit that, I can't help you.
Look at that.
Hey.
Hey, what's up? Hey, just wondering why the shoot hasn't started.
We good? Just waiting for second unit to finish getting some B-roll.
Then we'll start.
Sound good to you, boss? Cool.
Cool.
Cool.
Is everybody cool? Hey, is Lady London here for her fitting? I wanted to run some shots by her.
She'll be here after lunch.
Cool.
Cool.
See you out there, then.
Cool.
These kids have been my entire life.
I left school to be a mother, and I've never regretted it.
Now I'm back to doing this thing I did before they were even born.
And you might be the first mother of five who is also a hip-hop star.
Uh, look, I am not trying to make history.
Life is hard enough.
But I'm definitely glad we get this comeback.
It's been so good to be with my girls mentally, artistically.
But it's been hard, too, because my kids have always had their mom at home, and Hold up.
I can't do this.
I can't.
What the hell do you two think you're doing? You, you, up.
What the hell is wrong with you? What the hell is wrong with you? Excuse me? This isn't you.
You're supposed to be my mom.
I am your mom.
You're different.
Everything's different! The last couple of months have been rough for me, too.
But you know it's up to me now to keep clothes on our backs and food on our table, and this this is my job, baby, and I'm good at it and I love it.
You know I was a person before you.
Before you, before Daddy.
I had a whole life, and I love being your mom, James, but there's more to me than that.
Your whole life, I took care of you kids, and the reason I could do that is because Daddy went to work, but he's gone and I need your help.
Help how? Help with the others.
Watching them, looking after them, being strong for them.
You know they look up to you now to see how to act, especially because Daddy isn't around.
This is crazy and stupid, but this is the "man of the house" speech in real life.
That's not fair.
It's not fair.
None of this is fair, but it's life, and it's how it's gonna have to be.
We'll get through it I promise.
But we can only do it together, okay? Okay.
- Okay? - Okay.
Thanks for coming.
I need help.
Look, this isn't great, but it's not a career-ender.
What's done is done, and now you just need someone who can vouch for you combat the bad press with a positive What What is it? Did you assault someone? And where I come from, bitches like you get beat down for steppin' to me incorrect! It was completely unprofessional on my part to approach, but I thought she was flirting with me, and And I was young and star-struck.
You know, she could have she could have just said no.
But she put her hands on me.
Called me a freak.
She made me feel so small that I quit the business.
I was depressed.
I was ashamed.
And it all came back when I heard Jill being celebrated as some kind of queer icon.
Jill Da Thrill ruined my life.
That was 20 years ago.
You know what that was about.
Well, Jill, it doesn't matter what we think.
Everything we've worked for is in jeopardy.
This is not your fault, but you have been acting mad saddidy lately.
You guys want to pile on or help me out of this mess? Lady London dropped out.
People say she can't be associated with us right now.
- So - We're done.
I mean, do I think we're over? I mean, I think it's bad, but, nah.
It can't be.
I-It's crazy we even got back here after all we've been through the past 20 years.
We're resilient.
We're women.
We're queens.
And, look, I've known Jill a very long time, and she's not what they're saying.
So, do I think she's gonna fix this? No doubt.
No doubt.
Now, what and excuse me for asking this is going on with you and Rodrigo? Nothing.
Nothing.
Hey.
I know you probably don't want to talk to me right now.
I know, you're right.
But the thing is I really need your help.
I don't know what I would do without her who I'd be.
She was the catalyst for everything good that is was happening in my life before I misspoke.
I'm sorry.
I'm regretful, but it was an honest mistake.
But I know my words don't mean much to the world right now.
Tina, what's Jill like when the cameras aren't around? Jill is the kindest soul I've ever met.
She's loving and giving and empathetic.
And she's strong.
I know what she's been through.
I was there watching her struggle with her sexuality.
I wiped tears from her face.
So, the accusations against Jill are false? Jill told me that story about Lacey one night, and, yes, of course I was mortified.
But if you knew where Jill came from, then you'd know she was a victim, too.
I'm so sorry, Lacey.
Tremendously.
I can't take it back.
But I hope you accept my apology.
I was weak, I was conflicted, and I was broken.
And Tina saved me.
You saved me.
So, America does love a redemption story almost as much as a love story.
So, what can we expect from you two? You getting back together? It's like we never broke up.
Oh, I am officially uncanceled.
Whoo! And "an inspiration," and "brave as hell" for sharing my story.
America is schizophrenic.
- Mm-hmm.
- Tina is thorough.
She's good for you, Jill.
- Mm.
- That was London's people.
She wants back in the video now that Jill caught redemption.
Mm.
See, that's the Hollywood mentality I can't stand.
It is, but it's also the thing y'all wanted what we thought was best for the group.
We made a mistake, y'all.
I made a mistake.
We should drop London.
Drop London? For who? Why the hell would I wanna do your jank-ass video after y'all did me dirty-rotten? Oh? Oh? You left me for dead.
I got dropped by my label.
I owe them $750,000.
And I'm homeless.
And I'm not hyperbole speaking like when I say I feel homeless 'cause I got booked at a Hyatt.
I'm literally homeless! I have nothing.
Forgive me.
Forgive us.
There would be no Queens without what you did for us.
You were right.
But you're a part of this messed-up family.
So, will you please be in the video? Who run the world? Queens! Queens! Queens! All rise for the Queens! Supreme is the Queens when we come through Ladies gotta do it how they want to My body, my choice, you don't own me I made you a queen is what you call me It's time to pull files and examine all the facts You can't eat a feast, turn around and give us scraps You visit Puerto Rico at your leisure But when it's grief, where's the relief when we need some? In this deposition, you in my jurisdiction And there will be no settlements My people are too relevant So my closing argument is financial freedom It's Queens versus any propaganda that you speakin' They say things are bigger in Texas So is the sexists It's true indeed Without a queen you wouldn't exist Mama bear and my babies are my blessin's As a defendant my testimony is let's give The women back they voices, vote for pro choices My body, my rules, you can't avoid this So it's a mistrial, now you under arraignment Judge and the jury, no statute of limitations - What you call me? - Uh, come on, come on! I made you, a queen is what you call me Come on, my pride is alive Don't try to decide how I feel inside Step in my chambers, you witnessin' Women on the rise Persecute us for our choices, try to silence our voices "L" is for the love we give, and you should join us "G" is for greatness "B" is for bein' who you are "T" is for your transition Now go and be a star "Q" is for us not bein' quiet It's our turn to let the flag fly free Case closed, court is adjourned Say her name, say her name, say her name They say the fruit is rotten 'cause it's strange George Floyd forgotten, no, he didn't die in vain And, no, your little verdict isn't what we call change There'll be no acquittal for the suffering and pain Video shows he's unarmed, but you still take aim That's why we scream, "No justice and no peace!" And no more Black bodies spillin' blood On the cold world's concrete - My turn.
- I made you, a queen is what you call me - All rise! - So, Your Honor, let me tell you How my story went I used to wanna party till the party ended I watched everyone ignore me, I went undefended But they don't know my story, they just wanna pretend it I give 100% and you all could bet me They've been sleeping on me since They got narcolepsy I've been peeping all my friends, shoot a target at me I'm just sitting on this bench, may the law protect me - I'm a queen - Supreme is the Queens when we come through Ladies gotta do it how they want to My body, my choice, you don't own me I made you, a queen is what you call me Nights like this If I called, would you pick it up? On some nights like this You okay? This is great, but I'm still real homeless.
Don't worry about it.
And broke.
I fixed it with the label.
I paid off the debt.
We cool.
How'd you find that cheddah? I found it.
It's the least that I can do.
And you can crash with me until we figure something out.
I told you I have your back.
Ah! We're roomies! This is nice.
It is.
Especially since I'm not the Internet's most hated person anymore.
Thanks to you.
I just spoke the truth.
You know, I was thinking, uh, it wouldn't be impossible for me to find someone to cover for me for a few months.
Uh, what do you mean? At work.
So I could join you out here.
Did I misunderstand something about the interview? And you invited me to this party.
Tina, I'm sorry you got the wrong impression, - but I never said - Got the wrong impression? I mean, you did me a favor.
I-I'm grateful, and given what you did, it would have been "optically" dangerous not to invite you here.
But let's just have fun tonight, okay? I'm not sure I have time or space in my life to I put myself on the line for you.
And I'm appreciative.
But that was your choice.
Wow.
You used me.
God gave us free will.
You're disgusting.
Tina.
This is one of those moments.
Let's enjoy it.
The video is so dope, y'all.
Let's see what everyone thinks after they watch the documentary.
People want something real.
The Queens are so far from perfect, but you're real women.
People gonna eat this up.
I mean, we don't do it for them, anyway.
We do it for us, okay? Whoo! Okay! You've just got a little sauce.
Just don't smudge.
I spent three hours in hair and makeup.
Done.
Beautiful.
Mm.
They've got a chocolate fountain?! Oh! I love that you love carbs.
And I love you.
I love you, too.
I'm gonna go get some chocolate.
Valeria, got a minute? I see that you're trying to make us look like clowns.
It's not gonna work.
That's what I need to talk to you about.
I want to show you some footage that we got.
Now, if I was a better producer, I'd have put this in the doc, but I'm actually not an asshole.
And I think that you might want to deal with this privately.
What is it? We in that foreign, they can't catch us Make sure you keep your guard up.
Hey.
Hey.
So, now that we're not working together you can dance with me.
Do you dance better than you play guitar? No.
Probably not.
But I'm passionately bad at both.
Tonight is about me and my girls.
Ah, well, Bree can dance, too.
Dance with me? - Come on.
- Yes! Somebody said you got a new friend Does she love you better than I can? It's a big black sky over my town - Come on.
- Ahh! I know where you at, I bet she's around Yeah, I know it's stupid But I just gotta see it for myself I'm in the corner Watching you kiss her Oh, oh, oh What? I'm busy.
I'm right over here Seriously? Why can't you see me? - You're serious? - Oh, oh, oh I'll let them know.
I'm giving it my all Guess what, ladies.
You did it.
You did it! - What? - I keep dancing on my own I'm just gonna dance all night I'm all messed up I'm so outta line
- You're saying I'm - A stale Muffin.
I slipped and called you "Dad.
" Is that cool, Dad? Jill's in a great place.
She is blossoming.
Who are you? - I'm your mother.
- Ko-Ko-Ko-Ko-Ko-Konichiwa Fivi.
Fivio Foreign.
Call me whatever you want, just just call me.
Look, we can't lose.
Even if we all fall into a hole, we got each other.
- We won.
- That's slick, that's girl, that's it, that's all I'm the prettiest woman you ever have seen in your life I'm that chick Yo, we were flawless! When Valeria whipped her hair, Will Smith damn near fainted! Hey, yo, my phone is blowing up.
They want us for "Saturday Night Live," baby! Oh, my God! - Oh, my God.
- There is no stopping us! Come on, bring it in.
Whoo! Whoo! Queens! Unless they stop themselves.
The biggest-selling female hip-hop group of all time poised to conquer the charts once again.
We've been invited to go behind the throne as Queens make their first music video in two damn decades.
But what if I told you Nasty Bitches were alive and well? Am I canceled? Controversy.
These women are not who they claim to be.
- No cap.
- Betrayal.
Yes, Naomi! You are the queen! Ego.
But also, redemption and family.
I'm focusing on the time we have, not the time we lost.
A group poised to reclaim their history, their throne, destined to make history repeat itself? Hold up.
I can't.
Find out I can't do this.
as we go behind the scenes.
And we are the Breakfast Club.
Here with the man, Fivio.
He's having a real moment in the game right now.
Bow.
Hey, you know what it is.
Blessed to be here.
You lookin' a little run-down, Fivio.
Late night at the AMA party? Dipped out early.
But that don't mean I got no sleep.
Woman got me turned around.
For real, for real.
So, who got you so spun? I don't kiss and tell normally.
But shawty made me wanna spread the gospel.
I'd buy old girl a first edition of "The Old Man and the Sea.
" God.
Latto? Kash Doll? Who? They're girls.
This is a queen.
Yerp.
P-Sex, you a real one.
What? - Ma? - Yeah.
What were you listening to? Nothing.
Mm.
Mm.
We're out of waffles.
Okay.
- Mom? - Hmm? Did you do stuff with Fivio Foreign? I followed your recipe to a "T.
" Hmm.
It's pretty good, right? Hmm.
Too much salt? It's terrible, isn't it? I've eaten worse I think.
This was a nice gesture.
Thank you.
I got you something.
These aren't real diamonds.
Gross.
I can't.
Stop.
You can.
I've always wanted to buy my mom something nice, and now I get to.
I owe you an explanation.
Yes, and I want to know everything.
But it can wait.
I'm enjoying this.
Let me make us something edible, huh? Hopefully, now everyone can move forward.
Can I have a minute with Jill? Of course.
I'm sorry.
Loving you as much as I do isn't an excuse for how I behaved.
I understand.
But thank you.
Just do me one favor.
You're a good person.
Don't change too much.
Yo.
You gave Jojo your chain? She told you? She did.
How come I always feel like I walked into a scene from "The Notebook" when you two are together? Listen, we have to capitalize on the heat from the AMAs.
Yes, it's definitely time we drop our new single on the world, y'all obliterate the patriarchy.
Yo, the song is so dope.
I'm proud of us.
It's a real statement.
Gotta do a video, too.
And "Behind the Video" wants us to shoot a documentary.
I'm talking a new song, a video, and a BTS doc drop on the same day.
Wait, we gotta have cameras following us 24/7? Well, Alicia says content is king.
My kids found out about me and Fivio Foreign.
Bad content.
Their dad is dead.
Their mom is home half as much as she used to be.
I have to ease them into this.
Not put myself on "The Real World.
" Welcome to being a single mom with a career in music.
We present the image we want to sell that's it.
Unified.
It feels like it's all right there for us, ladies.
For real, and y'all know Valeria is down.
Psh, okay.
All right, bet.
- Let's ride.
- Yay! Ey yo, Muffin just sent her verse for the new single.
Let's check it out.
Oh, just in time.
I was cooking for my mom.
I love hearing a sentence I never thought I would hear.
- What's her explanation? - Explanation? For why she left baby Valeria on a New York street.
We haven't gotten into it.
That's not even my question.
I'm like, "Why this chick show up now?" Damn! Can I be happy for a minute? I mean, it's dope you're kicking it, but in my experience, when family shows up out of the blue, they want - Money.
- Money.
Money.
I gave her a diamond necklace this morning that I practically had to force around her neck.
Look, it's nice to see you so open, but - Protect yourself.
- Mm.
That's all.
Well, let's see what Muffin's got.
What you call me? What you call me? I made you, a queen is what you call me I've got a body, I flaunt it Might let him hit if he want it Party till six in the mornin' Till I'm yawnin' Co-Co-Co-Co-Co-Court is in session I am Lil Muffin, and I am processing I am the prettiest chick with some serious drip I'm the first, I could never be second Ah That'll work.
Will that work? For sure, but, uh What? Muffin's my client, so I hate to do this, but I wouldn't be doing right by y'all if I didn't mention that Lady London submitted a verse, too unsolicited.
Lady London wants to collab with us? She is it right now.
It doesn't matter.
We wouldn't be here without Muffin.
- Facts.
- So, we're not even gonna give it a listen? Jill, would you talk some sense into V? It's not always about business.
It's not always about business.
But this is.
I mean, let's just keep it real.
Muffin has kinda fallen off.
I mean, she went to rehab.
And I empathize, Lord knows, but We need to do what it takes.
We want what we threw away 20 years ago a world tour.
- Yes! - Look, I'm late.
I gotta pick up Olivia from dance.
Listen if you want, but it's gotta be Muffin.
We should just listen anyway.
Could be a non-factor.
I only come around where the commas at So when you see me, take a bow like Rihanna said Speak when the time is set, talk when I tell you to Shut up Matter of fact You don't walk till I tell you move Bossed up, you is not a dog, you's a lost pup I could run this world size 39 boss pumps Costs none, all of you fellas, all of you dudes Hit your mother up and tell her you love her All of you do women run this Okay, who's telling Muffin she's out? Look, I picked her up from rehab, y'all.
I know what kind of person she's trying to be.
I mean, her video flopped.
She had a unicorn horn planted in her head to stay relevant.
I want no part of being the reason she has a relapse.
Then let's vote.
Democracy and all that.
I mean, we know Bree is riding with Muffin.
Well, y'all know where I'm at.
I stay loyal.
Lady London, her verse is objectively better.
When I'm with y'all, I have to think about what's best for you.
London's the smart move right now.
Jill, you're cool with stabbing your friend in the back? You geriatric-ass traitors! Well, we wanted to tell you in person.
Does that make you a good person, Jill? You have every right to be pissed.
I'm pissed.
This wasn't my call, Muffin.
We voted.
3 to 2.
And you're one of the three? We will get your career back on track on my family.
Mm-hmm.
I guess this is who you are now.
Lauren.
- Is it true the divorce is finalized? - That's a private matter.
U-um, how does it feel to be the most famous gay on the planet right now? I love my life.
I love you.
If I knew I'd get this much attention, I would have said I was gay ages ago.
They were washed! I put them bitches back on the map! And Jill Jill, of all people My ham leg is missing.
It is from Iberia.
Yo, my heart been, like, sucked out with a straw! Y'all been my family since middle school, and it's like you just don't even care how they betrayed me and the fact that my career is in the dumpster! You're wrong.
We are very aware how your career is now a dumpster fire.
- Hmm.
- And frankly, we're concerned you don't have a plan for us.
Those nasty-bitch Queens went abracadabra after 20 years, came back rapping about divorce and maxi pads, and now they're back on top.
What's our next move, Muff? We need you to get transformational.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Eric.
I need to sit down with the label.
You've barely touched your food.
We should, um It's time to talk.
What's this? $100,000.
If you're here for money, there it is.
Take it and go.
This is my fault.
I didn't know how you'd react to me showing up, but y-you made it easy on me when you didn't have to.
I came to Queens from Puerto Rico with my dad.
My mom died when I was young.
I didn't want to come.
But then I fell in love with New York.
And I fell in love with a boy.
Javier.
He had a goatee.
I thought he was cute.
And then I was 19 and pregnant.
And then I was 19 and married.
The first time Javi choked me until I passed out, I fought back.
That was a mistake, and then I thought, "It's only a matter of time before he hurt you.
" See, I could take it o-or live with it, I guess but but you you were a baby.
This precious soul who was the only reason, honestly, why I I didn't kill myself.
I couldn't stomach the thought of him hurting you.
The day I took you to the shelter, I put the shade down on the bassinet, because I knew that if I looked at you, I couldn't do the thing that I knew I needed to do.
I went back to Puerto Rico and pretended like my life in New York never happened.
And I saw you on TV over the years.
And it helped me feel better about abandoning you.
So I'll go if that's what you want.
But not because you gave me $100,000.
Can I hug you? Yes.
Don't ever let go.
I won't.
I can't.
You could move.
You could also help me clean.
I'm good.
Hello? Ms.
Pat? Hey, you almost here? I I've gotta get to work.
My call time's Okay, yeah.
Um, feel better.
Are you uncomfortable? Yes.
Hey, we are just here to document this special moment of the first Queens music video.
There is nothing to worry about, okay? No need to be extra.
I'm ready to be extra-extra.
Todos, esta es mi mama.
This is my mother.
- It's really nice to meet you.
- Oh.
I have heard so much about you.
These cameras are recording? Pretend we're not here.
You good? All good.
Oh, sorry.
I know I'm the last to arrive.
No, you're not, actually for once.
Yeah, Bree's running late.
Nanny called in sick.
She's bringing the kids.
This is Rodrigo Canales, the hottest music-video director in the game.
I'm here to support you ladies, make sure you feel good and safe.
I'm a huge fan.
And, Naomi, I actually saw you perform a solo show at Pappy and Harriet's.
In Pioneertown? There were only like 12 people at that show.
I was one of them.
It was worth the trip.
I-I'm humbled to be a small part of your comeback story, so we'll shoot for two days with the Queens and a final day with you and Lady London.
Now, the first step to feeling good is looking good, which should be easy.
So, let's get you in hair and makeup.
- Did you see the way he was looking at Naomi? - Oh, my Like a damn snack.
He is fine like if Derek Jeter was a sherpa.
V, your mom must be losing her mind.
I'm just glad she could come.
I hope she's proud of me.
Are you kidding me? Of course she is.
What? If I knew I'd get this much attention, I would have said I was gay ages ago.
So, everyone on the Internet thinks Thinks you came out for a come-up.
That was fast.
You went from queer icon to public enemy number one in five months.
Am I canceled? The fact that anyone could even think I would use my sexuality to advance my career, it's really hurtful.
I mean, they don't know what I've been through.
W y you certainly haven't shied away from the cameras since coming out.
Because I'm finally free to be myself.
You know, we are so thirsty to take people down in this country that we will literally twist their words to create a villain.
So, you are fighting back? - What are you doing? - Saving you.
You can't win against Twitter trolls.
The people inside this phone will move on when John Oliver tells them who to hate next.
Lay down, get dragged, get up, and brace yourself to do it all over again.
That's the price of fame in 2021.
Don't give the trolls any more fuel.
Ooh, thank you, Trent.
Yeah.
What the hell?! Come back here! Get back here right now! Oh, my God.
You're supposed to be watching them, and you're laughing? When are we going home? When I'm done with work.
My soccer match is at 4:00.
Oh, I'm sorry, baby.
You're gonna have to skip this one.
It's the semis.
Okay, let me see if Gary's parents can come pick you up, okay? We're ready to roll when you are.
Yeah.
- Just go.
- I'm really sorry.
Yeah, keep being a slut.
What did you just say?! It's what my friends say because of the whole Fivio Foreign thing.
That's none of their business, or yours and apologize right now for even thinking those words about your mother before you get yourself hurt.
Whatever.
- Boy, if you don't - They really need you on set.
I'mma deal with you later.
Mama bear and my babies are my blessin's As a defendant my testimony is let's give The women back they voices, vote for pro choices My body, my rules, you can't avoid this So it's a mistrial, now you under arraignment - Cut! - Judge and the jury Cut! Cut! I'm sorry, I will get it.
Let's take five.
Oh, no, I'm good.
I actually want to speak with Naomi.
Oh, okay.
Does something not look right? Listen, don't hate me for saying this, but, Naomi, the camera's gonna find you.
Whether you hide in the back or not, the camera finds you because someone like you is impossible to hide.
So, stop trying.
That's all.
You didn't take my advice.
My integrity is on the line.
You're lying with pigs.
Trust.
Okay, let's run it back.
This time, we'll start with Naomi's verse.
Hey, Layton.
Action.
There'll be no acquittal for the suffering and pain Video shows he's unarmed but you still take aim That's why we scream, "No justice and no peace!" And no more Black bodies spillin' blood On the cold world's concrete Yeah Yes, Naomi! You are the queen! Good job, baby! Sure you want to do this? It's the only thing that feels right.
Whew.
Lil Muffin is done recording music.
Contractually, you owe us one more album, but we want to be in the Lil Muffin business long-term.
Lil Muffin business went "poof.
" Eric? Listen to the woman.
Your "vacation" stalled our momentum, but we can get it back.
Lil Muffin is a character I grew out of myself.
She's weird.
She's all the little quirks I built from taking sick days from school because I was bullied.
Watching hours and hours of "Naruto" underneath a Nicki Minaj poster.
But Muffin has morphed into something else.
And getting clean, buying my own ham I have to represent who I am now.
That isn't Muffin.
I want to record my next album as Lauren.
When you first signed me, you said that you trusted my vision.
I'm asking you to trust me one more time.
I've gotta run this up to the top.
But let's make our first Lauren album.
To serenity, peace, and courage! Yes, queen! Make that cake! We still livin'! Ham all day! I can't believe they went for it! What you doin' with your wigs? Mm.
Mm-mm-mm.
Yo, E-Roc! We back! Those assholes dropped us.
The label is voiding your contract.
They can do that? They also want to settle the bill.
Bill? What I look like, Destiny's Child? You owe 750 racks we were hoping to make up on the next album.
Okay, I can sell the house.
That's gotta be a couple millie.
Label owns the house.
You pay rent.
- Oh.
- We'll figure this out.
Hang tight and I will figure figure something out.
If you could, uh, rephrase the question in your answer.
"Mother gave me up for adoption because " Nah.
Thanks, but, nah.
If I say that, you're gonna use it, and some things don't need to be hyped.
Well, what would you like to say about your mother showing back up in your life after all these years? My mother showing back up in my life is the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Being with her makes me a better person.
I'm focusing on the time we have, not the time we lost.
Like that.
Yeah, mm-hmm, but better.
And, no, actually.
You make it look so easy like how I play the air guitar.
You got me all nervous, sitting here with a legend.
I'm not worthy.
No, you are not.
But we gonna get this chord right or die trying, okay? Can I help? Yeah.
Okay, now, if you can't hit that, I can't help you.
Look at that.
Hey.
Hey, what's up? Hey, just wondering why the shoot hasn't started.
We good? Just waiting for second unit to finish getting some B-roll.
Then we'll start.
Sound good to you, boss? Cool.
Cool.
Cool.
Is everybody cool? Hey, is Lady London here for her fitting? I wanted to run some shots by her.
She'll be here after lunch.
Cool.
Cool.
See you out there, then.
Cool.
These kids have been my entire life.
I left school to be a mother, and I've never regretted it.
Now I'm back to doing this thing I did before they were even born.
And you might be the first mother of five who is also a hip-hop star.
Uh, look, I am not trying to make history.
Life is hard enough.
But I'm definitely glad we get this comeback.
It's been so good to be with my girls mentally, artistically.
But it's been hard, too, because my kids have always had their mom at home, and Hold up.
I can't do this.
I can't.
What the hell do you two think you're doing? You, you, up.
What the hell is wrong with you? What the hell is wrong with you? Excuse me? This isn't you.
You're supposed to be my mom.
I am your mom.
You're different.
Everything's different! The last couple of months have been rough for me, too.
But you know it's up to me now to keep clothes on our backs and food on our table, and this this is my job, baby, and I'm good at it and I love it.
You know I was a person before you.
Before you, before Daddy.
I had a whole life, and I love being your mom, James, but there's more to me than that.
Your whole life, I took care of you kids, and the reason I could do that is because Daddy went to work, but he's gone and I need your help.
Help how? Help with the others.
Watching them, looking after them, being strong for them.
You know they look up to you now to see how to act, especially because Daddy isn't around.
This is crazy and stupid, but this is the "man of the house" speech in real life.
That's not fair.
It's not fair.
None of this is fair, but it's life, and it's how it's gonna have to be.
We'll get through it I promise.
But we can only do it together, okay? Okay.
- Okay? - Okay.
Thanks for coming.
I need help.
Look, this isn't great, but it's not a career-ender.
What's done is done, and now you just need someone who can vouch for you combat the bad press with a positive What What is it? Did you assault someone? And where I come from, bitches like you get beat down for steppin' to me incorrect! It was completely unprofessional on my part to approach, but I thought she was flirting with me, and And I was young and star-struck.
You know, she could have she could have just said no.
But she put her hands on me.
Called me a freak.
She made me feel so small that I quit the business.
I was depressed.
I was ashamed.
And it all came back when I heard Jill being celebrated as some kind of queer icon.
Jill Da Thrill ruined my life.
That was 20 years ago.
You know what that was about.
Well, Jill, it doesn't matter what we think.
Everything we've worked for is in jeopardy.
This is not your fault, but you have been acting mad saddidy lately.
You guys want to pile on or help me out of this mess? Lady London dropped out.
People say she can't be associated with us right now.
- So - We're done.
I mean, do I think we're over? I mean, I think it's bad, but, nah.
It can't be.
I-It's crazy we even got back here after all we've been through the past 20 years.
We're resilient.
We're women.
We're queens.
And, look, I've known Jill a very long time, and she's not what they're saying.
So, do I think she's gonna fix this? No doubt.
No doubt.
Now, what and excuse me for asking this is going on with you and Rodrigo? Nothing.
Nothing.
Hey.
I know you probably don't want to talk to me right now.
I know, you're right.
But the thing is I really need your help.
I don't know what I would do without her who I'd be.
She was the catalyst for everything good that is was happening in my life before I misspoke.
I'm sorry.
I'm regretful, but it was an honest mistake.
But I know my words don't mean much to the world right now.
Tina, what's Jill like when the cameras aren't around? Jill is the kindest soul I've ever met.
She's loving and giving and empathetic.
And she's strong.
I know what she's been through.
I was there watching her struggle with her sexuality.
I wiped tears from her face.
So, the accusations against Jill are false? Jill told me that story about Lacey one night, and, yes, of course I was mortified.
But if you knew where Jill came from, then you'd know she was a victim, too.
I'm so sorry, Lacey.
Tremendously.
I can't take it back.
But I hope you accept my apology.
I was weak, I was conflicted, and I was broken.
And Tina saved me.
You saved me.
So, America does love a redemption story almost as much as a love story.
So, what can we expect from you two? You getting back together? It's like we never broke up.
Oh, I am officially uncanceled.
Whoo! And "an inspiration," and "brave as hell" for sharing my story.
America is schizophrenic.
- Mm-hmm.
- Tina is thorough.
She's good for you, Jill.
- Mm.
- That was London's people.
She wants back in the video now that Jill caught redemption.
Mm.
See, that's the Hollywood mentality I can't stand.
It is, but it's also the thing y'all wanted what we thought was best for the group.
We made a mistake, y'all.
I made a mistake.
We should drop London.
Drop London? For who? Why the hell would I wanna do your jank-ass video after y'all did me dirty-rotten? Oh? Oh? You left me for dead.
I got dropped by my label.
I owe them $750,000.
And I'm homeless.
And I'm not hyperbole speaking like when I say I feel homeless 'cause I got booked at a Hyatt.
I'm literally homeless! I have nothing.
Forgive me.
Forgive us.
There would be no Queens without what you did for us.
You were right.
But you're a part of this messed-up family.
So, will you please be in the video? Who run the world? Queens! Queens! Queens! All rise for the Queens! Supreme is the Queens when we come through Ladies gotta do it how they want to My body, my choice, you don't own me I made you a queen is what you call me It's time to pull files and examine all the facts You can't eat a feast, turn around and give us scraps You visit Puerto Rico at your leisure But when it's grief, where's the relief when we need some? In this deposition, you in my jurisdiction And there will be no settlements My people are too relevant So my closing argument is financial freedom It's Queens versus any propaganda that you speakin' They say things are bigger in Texas So is the sexists It's true indeed Without a queen you wouldn't exist Mama bear and my babies are my blessin's As a defendant my testimony is let's give The women back they voices, vote for pro choices My body, my rules, you can't avoid this So it's a mistrial, now you under arraignment Judge and the jury, no statute of limitations - What you call me? - Uh, come on, come on! I made you, a queen is what you call me Come on, my pride is alive Don't try to decide how I feel inside Step in my chambers, you witnessin' Women on the rise Persecute us for our choices, try to silence our voices "L" is for the love we give, and you should join us "G" is for greatness "B" is for bein' who you are "T" is for your transition Now go and be a star "Q" is for us not bein' quiet It's our turn to let the flag fly free Case closed, court is adjourned Say her name, say her name, say her name They say the fruit is rotten 'cause it's strange George Floyd forgotten, no, he didn't die in vain And, no, your little verdict isn't what we call change There'll be no acquittal for the suffering and pain Video shows he's unarmed, but you still take aim That's why we scream, "No justice and no peace!" And no more Black bodies spillin' blood On the cold world's concrete - My turn.
- I made you, a queen is what you call me - All rise! - So, Your Honor, let me tell you How my story went I used to wanna party till the party ended I watched everyone ignore me, I went undefended But they don't know my story, they just wanna pretend it I give 100% and you all could bet me They've been sleeping on me since They got narcolepsy I've been peeping all my friends, shoot a target at me I'm just sitting on this bench, may the law protect me - I'm a queen - Supreme is the Queens when we come through Ladies gotta do it how they want to My body, my choice, you don't own me I made you, a queen is what you call me Nights like this If I called, would you pick it up? On some nights like this You okay? This is great, but I'm still real homeless.
Don't worry about it.
And broke.
I fixed it with the label.
I paid off the debt.
We cool.
How'd you find that cheddah? I found it.
It's the least that I can do.
And you can crash with me until we figure something out.
I told you I have your back.
Ah! We're roomies! This is nice.
It is.
Especially since I'm not the Internet's most hated person anymore.
Thanks to you.
I just spoke the truth.
You know, I was thinking, uh, it wouldn't be impossible for me to find someone to cover for me for a few months.
Uh, what do you mean? At work.
So I could join you out here.
Did I misunderstand something about the interview? And you invited me to this party.
Tina, I'm sorry you got the wrong impression, - but I never said - Got the wrong impression? I mean, you did me a favor.
I-I'm grateful, and given what you did, it would have been "optically" dangerous not to invite you here.
But let's just have fun tonight, okay? I'm not sure I have time or space in my life to I put myself on the line for you.
And I'm appreciative.
But that was your choice.
Wow.
You used me.
God gave us free will.
You're disgusting.
Tina.
This is one of those moments.
Let's enjoy it.
The video is so dope, y'all.
Let's see what everyone thinks after they watch the documentary.
People want something real.
The Queens are so far from perfect, but you're real women.
People gonna eat this up.
I mean, we don't do it for them, anyway.
We do it for us, okay? Whoo! Okay! You've just got a little sauce.
Just don't smudge.
I spent three hours in hair and makeup.
Done.
Beautiful.
Mm.
They've got a chocolate fountain?! Oh! I love that you love carbs.
And I love you.
I love you, too.
I'm gonna go get some chocolate.
Valeria, got a minute? I see that you're trying to make us look like clowns.
It's not gonna work.
That's what I need to talk to you about.
I want to show you some footage that we got.
Now, if I was a better producer, I'd have put this in the doc, but I'm actually not an asshole.
And I think that you might want to deal with this privately.
What is it? We in that foreign, they can't catch us Make sure you keep your guard up.
Hey.
Hey.
So, now that we're not working together you can dance with me.
Do you dance better than you play guitar? No.
Probably not.
But I'm passionately bad at both.
Tonight is about me and my girls.
Ah, well, Bree can dance, too.
Dance with me? - Come on.
- Yes! Somebody said you got a new friend Does she love you better than I can? It's a big black sky over my town - Come on.
- Ahh! I know where you at, I bet she's around Yeah, I know it's stupid But I just gotta see it for myself I'm in the corner Watching you kiss her Oh, oh, oh What? I'm busy.
