All the Queen's Men (2021) s01e09 Episode Script

- You run Black Rock Boys?
- I love the dangerous shit.
You know that.
Previously, on
"All The Queen's Men"--
- Please put me down!
I wanna make a deal with you.
Give her to me.
- Who is "her"?
- I wanted to talk to you about
booking some of your guys
this weekend.
- So how many do you want?
- Every single one
I've seen dancing here.
- You do know we have
to find her, right?
- Yeah.
- I don't like an
unstable bitch out there
unless I have my eyes on her.
- Miss Patrice Ellis?
- What the hell
are you doing here?
- Your son had some of his
friends assault my nephew, Amp.
- I am not in
the mood for this.
- We're gonna have this
conversation here and now,
or we're gonna have it
at Terry's funeral.
- And you are?
- Blue, Madam's
head of security.
- The Madam?
Cadillac's daughter?
- Yes.
Now, Miss Ellis, I'm gonna
make this very quick.
I can only imagine what you and
your family have gone through
with the death of your daughter.
My nephew, Amp, is very sorry.
Now, I'm not here to ask you
to forgive him,
because that's between
you and God.
But he made a terrible mistake,
and he has paid for his mistake.
He did his time.
Now he is out, and he is trying
to get his life back together.
Am I supposed tofeel bad?
'Cause he got a couple
of lumps and bruises?
I don't.
My daughter's bed is still
empty,
like it's been
for the last nine years.
She ain't never coming back.
So excuse me if I don't
shed a tear for your nephew.
- I would hate for you to have
to bury your son
next to your daughter.
Talk to your son.
Only warning.
- You okay, Ma?
Don't worry, I'll
take care of them.
- You need to drop this, Terry.
- What?
- Drop it.
That woman is Satan's sister.
I knew her father
back in the day.
He was a hustler
and a killer too.
And she is worse than he was.
She will kill you with
a smile on her face.
So you need to let this go.
-He's still in there.
-He won't be long.
-How can you tell?
- I'm the one that
started this poker game.
Still cool with the dealer.
Said Roman's on his last couple
of chips, and when he's done,
then he'll send him out.
And we'll wait.
-Don't.
- Okay, okay.
- I don't like having
to repeat myself, Roman.
So what am I about to say?
-That I better get
you your motherfucking money.
And this is the last warning
I'm gonna get from you.
- Good talk.
-Uh, fuck!
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Um, thank you for stopping by
the bank so I could open up
that savings account.
You should have seen the
tellers' faces when I pulled out
all them damn ones.
- So you gonna tell me what
last night was all about?
- Mm.
Uh
I do owe you an
explanation, huh?
- I would say so.
- The guys who jumped me were
sent by a dude named Terry.
I used to date his sister,
Shannon, back in college.
I was about 19.
One night, we was
coming from a party.
And I had been
I was fucked up.
I knew I shouldn't have been
driving, but I drove anyway.
I thought I was in my lane
until I heard her scream.
I lost control.
The car spun out.
Flipped a couple times and, um,
Shannon was thrown
from the vehicle.
She, uh
died later that night
at the hospital.
Head trauma.
- Shit.
- Yeah.
Um
Drunk driving
and vehicular homicide.
Sentence was 9 to 15 years.
I did nine.
Anyway, I'll finish out
the rest at the house.
- So that's why
you don't drink?
- Yeah.
Yo, if I was her brother,
I'd wanna kill me too, right?
- I saw something on
social media that said
we all have a chapter in our
lives
that we don't read out loud.
It's true.
-Yeah.
- A few years before Madam
hired me at the nightclub,
I was dancing too.
- Wait, so you was a stripper?
- An exotic dancer, as
you so eloquently put it.
- One day, I
went to a regular's
house to dance.
He was a super nice guy, so I--
I didn't think I'd be in danger
of going by myself.
So, I'm dancing.
And all of the sudden, he
He gets all handsy
and real aggressive.
I asked him to stop.
And he wouldn't.
He started kissing me,
forcing himself on me.
And
I almost got raped.
Uh, I could barely
keep the guy off me.
That was it.
It wasn't worth it.
I quit.
I started looking
for another job.
And I applied everywhere,
but Madam
was the only one
that gave me a chance.
- I'm really sorry that
happened to you,
that you had to go through that.
Your story's safe with me.
- Yeah, I know.
Likewise.
- Yeah.
- What the fuck?
- Motherfucking dyke.
- Yo!
- So you wanna be a dude?
- Don't fucking touch me!
- Yo, what you think
this shit about?
- Hell if I know.
- Think we should go help her?
- I'm already there, bro.
- Get the fuck out of here.
- I don't need your help.
- So I guess we should have let
'em just keep
kicking your ass, huh?
- Fuck you.
- Oh, you into that, huh?
- You know what?
- Hey, hey, hey.
What was that all about?
- Nothing.
- We stick together
around here.
And Madam seems to like you.
So, uh, you may end
up dancing here.
You can say thank
you at any time.
- What the fuck I
gotta thank you for?
- Mm, matter of fact,
what's their number?
Maybe we should call 'em back
and let them fuck you up.
- Right.
- Man, she pipping.
- I'm sorry.
Look, I'm not used to having
people do shit for me.
I'm used to doing
it for myself, so--
- Well, not here.
We're family.
- Yeah, you was holding
your own, though.
- I know, right?
Some big motherfucker.
- Nah, I'm kidding,
they was fucking you up.
- Whooping that ass.
- Oh, come on.
- Beat the shit out of her.
- What's this?
What's going on here?
- Somebody don't
fucking listen.
- Yo, you was in
there watching?
- I don't fucking get in that
shit, I fucking warned you.
- Damn, it's like that?
- Yeah.
- Do I wanna know?
- No.
- Alright.
- Come on.
- Y'all know I don't
play this late shit.
To be early is to be on time,
to be on time is to be late.
And to be late is unacceptable.
- Sorry.
- That's cute, but
it's a $100 fine payable
before you leave here today.
Anyway, with our social media
taking off,
we've got a lot
of new customers.
Which means a lot more
money for everyone.
This is Trouble.
- I thought we
was here to please women.
- Hey!
If you have a problem
with it, you can leave.
I am the only one here
that is irreplaceable.
There is way too much
motherfucking money to be made
around here, if you all be
worried about a new dancer.
Step your game up,
perfect your performances.
Your money will keep coming.
Any questions?
- Where she gonna
get dressed at?
- I've seen dick before.
- You might just have one.
- Don't make me get fired on my
first day for smacking you
in the mouth, pretty boy.
- Ooh!
- Oh shit!
- Oh whee!
- Alright, fellas, the van will
be here shortly to pick you up
for the private party.
You already know what to do.
And, amateurs, it's on
y'all tonight, okay?
So keep my money up.
- We got you.
- Thank you.
- Alright, let's
have a good night.
Not you, Amp, come here.
- Yeah?
- You good?
- Yeah.
- You're sure?
- Yes.
-Look--
- Yeah, I'm good.
- That's not gonna
happen again, okay?
- Okay.
- Alright.
You nervous?
- Uh, about this party?
-Yeah.
- It's my first one.
- You'll be fine.
Now catch the guys.
- Okay.
- Alright.
- See ya later.
- See ya later.
- So
- This is very nice, Tandy.
- Oh, Madam,
don't act like you ain't
impressed by this shit.
- Excuse me?
This pool.
My home.
- I've seen better.
You know what, Tandy, um,
you're well connected.
- I am.
- I wouldn't even deny that,
right?
- Mm-hmm.
- But humble?
Humble might be the route
for you to go right now.
- Oh, humble?
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, darling, I've worked
way too hard
to be humble.
- Okay. Indeed you have.
- Yeah.
- But you--you could
use some laying low time.
- Pardon me?
- Your name.
Your name's been coming up
inall the wrong circles.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Mm.
- Yeah.
So as you said, you
know, I'm very well connected.
- Very. Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
And I just think that you
should
just be a little bit careful.
Because I don't wanna be without
your men
helping me
in such a trying time.
- Well, Ms. Tandy, would you
like to take a seat
in your own home? Shall we?
- We shall.
- Thank you.
- Well, Ms. Tandy, you can
rest assured,
because nothing is gonna happen
to me
or my men.
- You sure about that?
- All positive.
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.
Now you on the other hand,
um,
I can't say the same about you.
- Meaning?
- Meaning that you too have
been coming up in circles.
- Oh, darling.
But the circles I'm talking
about actually have power.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
- So, are we to assume that the
ones I'm talking about
don't?
- No offense.
- None taken.
Oh honey,
you're like a blog.
I'm a press conference.
- Oh, okay.
- There's a different.
- Oh, there's absolutely
a difference, yes.
- Yeah, yeah.
So what do you make?
Five, ten thousand in
profit----
from your guys a month,
at the most?
- Yeah, that's about it.
Sounds like, yeah.
- Oh.
So again,
the conversations
you're having
are like whispers.
- Ooh.
- Mine are like shouts.
Yeah.
- Understood.
- Yeah, definitely.
So, what time can we
expect your men to be here?
- Well, let's see, they should
actually--
they should be arriving soon.
- Awesome, great.
Well, if you'll excuse me, I
have to make sure that my guests
are okay and they're
arriving properly.
Is that okay?
- Now you sure you don't
wanna give that bitch up?
- Oh no.
Look at her, she's cute
in a rabbit getting fucked by a
lion kind of a way.
- She ain't got
no fucking clue.
- None at all.
Where are the guys?
- In the van.
- Alright. You staying?
- Mm, I'll be out front.
- Okay.
- Madam.
- You ready?
- Yeah.
- Alright.
So tell me, Dime.
- How exactly you gonna
handle this shit tonight, huh?
- What do you mean?
- So we still gonna act like
you don't like my nephew?
- No, I do.
- I know you do.
- Mm-hmm.
- So like I said, how you
gonna handle this tonight?
- We're not together.
He needs to do his own
thing, I'm gonna do mine.
- Okay.
I see.

- What?
About him going to jail?
- Yeah.
- And?
- I mean, we have
all made mistakes.
- Yes, we have.
I know your mistakes.
- So I'm fine with it.
- Good.
Dime, he's a good guy, okay?
- Yeah.
- Alright.
- I can sense it, but those
guys coming after him, and--
- Look, I promise you that
will never happen again, okay?
- I knew you'd take care of it.
- You already know.
- Thank you.
- Thank you for
letting me know.
- No worries.

Alright, fellas,
you all know the drill.
Ms. Tandy's wealthiest friends
are here tonight
for this divorce party,
so have fun.
Be safe.
And hopefully, you
motherfuckers can swim.
- I know, right.
- Now the newly divorced
lady's name is Dawn.
She'll be the one
wearing a tiara.
Make sure you spoil her.
- What's a tiara?
- It's one of those things
women wear in beauty pageants.
- Queens wear them.
They're shiny with jewelry on
them, like a skinny crown.
- You really don't
know what a tiara is?
- I've never been to a
motherfucking beauty pageant.
- Make sure you guys have
condoms
for those of you going the extra
mile tonight.
- You're not staying?
- Uh, no, look.
If you need anything, tell
Dime, and she'll hit me.
Okay?
Have fun, fellas!

much I thank you for this.

more than that, okay?

I understand, but tonight

Okay, so stop

- Alright, alright, well,
I will wait on the curb.

Don't take too long.

- You know what you need?
- What?
- To get fucked.
- You ain't lying.
- Yeah.
So which one of
them do you want?
- Ooh.
- Ooh.
- This is hard.
- I know, very hard.
- Uh, ooh.
I want that one right there.
- Okay, okay.
Midnight!
-Right now?
- Yes, right now, right now.
Hey.
- Hey, baby.
- Hey, good, good, good, good.
So, um, Madam said that if we
wanted to have a little bit more
fun, that we could, uh,
make a deal with you.
- Yeah, I'm all for that.
So how much will it cost?
- You tell me.
- Oh, really?
I gotta do that?
I don't understand.
- What do you think I'm worth?
- Oh God, so he's asking
me to be the judge of that.
Alright,
is there a floor?
- Five hundred is the floor.
- Okay.
But I think we're
gonna need a little more.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- Well, what do
you have in mind?
- I mean, I think we need more
because it's gonna take at least
two or three people
to tame both of us.
- Mm, that--
- Right, so--so what about him?
Square, no weed, no nothing.
- Um, well, what about him?
- I can ask him, but his head
been hella fucked up
lately, so--
- Shit.
- So, look, what
about Babyface?
- Ooh, shit, yes.
I could do the Babyface
all daylong.
- Let me go get him.
- Okay.
- I got you.
- Alright.
- Are we really
about to do this?
- Yes, so smoke.
Okay?
- Uh-huh.
- Because I'm gonna teach you
how to get over one man
by getting under another.
Just let yourself go.
Let it go.
- Next orgasms, we're
switching, okay?
- Uh, that--
- Here you go.
- Mm, good night.
Yes.
- Maybe for Midnight and Face.
- Where they at?
- You know where they at.
- I see.
- Good night.
- Bye.
- Yo.
-Did you
get the address?
- You there now?
-Yeah.
- Tina, you better
not be setting me up.
-I promise, I'm not.
- Alright, better
not be no bullshit.
-I just wanna see you.
I wanna hold you, shit.
- Alright, I'm on my way.
But, Tina, I'm letting you
know--
-Doc, just come.
- Alright.
-This
motherfucker here.
-It's a bit late
for a house call, isn't it?
- I know it's in bad taste
dropping in on you
like this unannounced.
Um, I need a word.
- Don't make a habit of it.
Come in.
- Ecuadorian Connecticut shade
with Nicaraguan
Habanos fillers, yes?
I remember seeing
them in your office.
Anyway.
I needed to be transparent with
you about
the urgent nature of things.
We usually process
2 1/2 to $3 million
per property per year.
You took a key piece
of our chess board.
I'm sure you had your reasons,
none of which are my concern.
But if our pieces aren't
properly moving,
we are essentially losing.
And that's problematic.
Have you come to a decision?
- Yes, I have.
I do not
agree to your deal.
- Really?
- Yes. Really.
I do however agree to process
300 a month,
50 of that I keep.
Take it or leave it.
- You are what
they say you are.
Fearless.
Quite the businesswoman.
- That and more.
- I don't foresee them
taking issue with this deal.
But I would like to confirm
with the family
before we get anything going.
- Very well.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have
a very sexy,
full-bodied glass
of red waiting for me.
- Lucky glass.
Enjoy your evening, Madam.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- You ready?
- Hell yeah, you
know I've been ready.
- Okay, come on.
- Wait, umcan I
ask you a question?
- Yeah.
- Dime, you--you
think this shit is me?
- What?
- Like all that,
all this,
is it me?
- What you mean?
- I mean, like I like dancing
at the club for money, right?
But, yo, these houses.
They ain't got no rules.
- You make your own rules as to
what you will do
and what you won't do.
- Yeah, that's true, but like
what if one night
you're at the wrong house?
- It has happened.
- I don't know about
this shit, Dime.
- Well, it seems like you
got some decisions to make.
- That's true, but--yo, real
talk, I never made two grand.
- No, for--I made
two grand tonight.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- That's good.
- That's lit.
Butis it me?
- Okay, what is this?
- I've just been
thinking, right?
What am I doing with my future?
- Your future?
- Yeah.
- Well, the way I see it, you
got bills to pay right now.
- True.
- Keep some standards about
yourself,
and you do what you gotta do.
- You always gotta speak
some true shit, huh?
- Damn right.
- You got any other options?
- Uh, shit, not right now.
So--
- Okay then, well
stop tripping.
- Damn.
- Do what you're comfortable
with and stop when you're not.
- Alright, strong ass.
- Yeah, now can
I take you home?
Please?
- Yes, you can take
me home, please.
Come on.
- Okay.
- Alright.
- Tina.
- Hey.
- What are you doing?
- Nothing.
So, what's going on?
Why you run?
- I just
I'm sorry.
- Yeah.
What you doing in this place?
- Nobody can find me here.
- Yeah.
- What is that?
What are you looking for?
- Just trying to make
sureyou're not setting me up.
- Are you satisfied?
- I'm satisfied.
- Would I look like this
if I was setting you up?
- I missed you.
- What the fuck?
- You keep lying to me.
- Tina, what the fuck
are you talking about?
- You told me you
would be with me.
- Calm down.
- You got some whore pregnant.
- Calmdown.
- She had a baby for you.
I know.
Shit, we all know.
And then you let
that bitch kill my husband.
You know he took care of me.
What am I supposed to do, huh?
And now you're fucking over me?
- Just calm down.
- No!
I'll get mad as shit.
- Tina, that shit is sharp.
- I'm cutting this
motherfucker off.
- Tina, don't.
