If you lose your sponsor, everyone will know why.
We get to go on tour! You know, I felt like I saw Mama when the paramedics were taking Karen away.
- What is that? - This song I keep hearing in my dreams.
CARLOTTA: The day your mother died, that song was playing in a loop.
You didn't say a word for two weeks.

CARLOTTA: That was fun.
You can always keep clothes at my place.
Start riding into work with me.
Easy, champ.
I'm just staying with you 'cause there ain't no room at Ruby's.
Oh, is that all? - Ooh.
- (BOTH LAUGH) I'll see you at the Sound House meeting later.
The girls are hyped up about landing a A-list promoter.
Oh, well, they ain't landed him yet.
They want to meet with the talent to get a feel for them.
Now, if they're impressed enough to sign them on, this tour's gonna be next level.
Look at you.
You as hungry for this as they are.
Hey, Charles needs to leave the day-to-day in somebody's hands.
I ain't mad at you.
MAURICE: Looks like the rebuild's coming along.
Yeah.
Everyone in the whole neighborhood is helping out.
Feels good to be appreciated.
Drilling's got to be done by 6:00, or Carlotta will get noise complaints.
It's finally starting to feel like old times.
Well, well.
You're here to volunteer, right? What you need me to do, light skin? Or do I just get in where I fit in? Look, this is not the time to put this on.
What am I supposed to do with this? Put it on.
I'm not wearing that.
- (DOOR CLOSES) - (CARLOTTA SIGHS) You and Maurice are getting pretty serious.
- Stay out of grown folks' business.
- I'm just saying, you've been staying at his house a lot, Miss C.
CARLOTTA: Looks good.
Simone, you got a letter from the County Clerk.
CARLOTTA: That was fast.
We just sent in the work release papers.
Yeah.
What's the matter? Why are you acting funny? I'm not.
Yeah, you are.
What's wrong? Okay.
So, I got scared when they told us we weren't going on tour, and Ayanna said I had one week until I had to go back to juvie, so I did something.
What did you do? I got married.
- Married? - Oh girl.
She didn't get married.
To who? The ghost of Karen? Really? Oh, my God.
You married Angel? Why the hell would you go and do something like that? You're 17.
You ain't got no business being married.
Okay, what else was I supposed to do? I had to protect myself.
What if the tour falls through? My ass would've been sent back to that hellhole.
The tour is real.
Yeah, just like Ayanna being my guardian? - (CARLOTTA SCOFFS) - What's Angel getting out of this? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Exactly what I just said.
Look, I'm finally free.
- Please be happy for me.
- Oh, my goodness.
Dear Lord, please smack some sense into this girl - before I have to.
- It's only six months.
As soon as I turn 18, we're getting a divorce, so I'm tired of your secrets.
Well, I learned from the best.
Cott.
You would've been my maid of honor.
We're not done with this marriage discussion.
I-I feel like we are.
- (KNOCKING) - WOMAN: Hello? Oh.
Arlene? No.
Charlene.
Charlene Zimmer.
I'm Arlene's sister and I'm looking for Star Davis.
For what? I'm Star.
Hunter had very good taste.
You're very pretty.
What you want? Well, I've been here for two weeks trying to find out about my sister's death.
Police don't know anything.
Her body was found in a quarry off I-75.
She'd been dead for a month.
Stabbed.
I promise you, she'll never bother you again.
They say it was brutal.
Do any of you know anybody who would kill my sister? Nah.
I'm sorry.
I don't know nothing.
Wow.
Brody, I need you to call me back right now.
This is serious.
Girl, what'd he do now? I think he killed Arlene.
Girl, no, he didn't.
Stop saying that.
He did.
He did.
He came around here, like, a month ago.
Blood all over his face.
He told me, "You don't have to worry about Arlene anymore.
" Now that woman is dead.
Handsome white men do always turn out to be those crazy serial killers.
What? I be watching them crime shows.
I'm being serious.
I know Brody did this.
- (DOOR OPENS) - Okay, maybe you're right CHARLENE: Sorry to interrupt.
I didn't mean to upset anybody.
If you if you remember anything or see anything, give me a call.
Please, Ms.
Davis.
You, too.
Thank you.
STAR: Oh, my God.
Of course she's a mortician.
So, she do hair? Okay.
All right.
Let's go inside.
CHARLENE (ON TV): If you know anything about who may have killed my sister, Arlene Morgan, I urge you to do the right thing and come forward.
This ain't going away.
Like I said, I was protecting Star and I You weren't supposed to kill the bitch! The cops found the body two weeks ago.
- They have nothing.
- I ain't talking about the cops.
Her damn twin is all over the news.
Look, I was careful.
All right? They don't have any trace of me or you.
Me? Oh, no, no, no, no.
I ain't touch her, you did.
This is all on you.
They're not gonna find out.
Trust me.
You hear me.
For once, I finally got something going good, and I ain't about to let your sloppy mistake come back and bite me in the ass, you hear that? We're good, Jahil.
All right? Lifetime For a lifetime Lifetime For a lifetime Dude, you got to bounce.
- (MUSIC STOPS) - (NOAH SCOFFS) - Quavo, man.
What's up, boy? - What's up with it? I ain't seen you since the last tour.
How you doing, man? What you doing in here? I'm with Floyd Entertainment now.
Came in last night to see what's up with that paperwork.
- Oh, word.
- Oh, yeah.
- Hey, play that back one time.
- Okay.
(SONG PLAYS) Man, that's dope.
That's dope, man.
Yeah, I'm about to head out on tour again.
Oh, yeah? We got Sound House backing us right now.
After what happened last time? Yeah, well, that ain't me no more, bro.
I see you all boo'd up on Crane.
That's who you got taking care of you now? For real, man.
Yeah.
Yeah, she keep me in check.
She can't even keep her own mama in check.
(LAUGHS): Yeah.
You know the streets talking.
Saying that you fell off.
Saying you got dropped from the label.
Me being the opening act, everybody asking me questions.
I held it down, though.
Yeah, I appreciate that.
Well, look, I'm gonna let you get back to it, man.
Doin' shows on the road - All right.
- Yeah.
That'll be good.
- (MUSIC STOPS) - Hey, run that back from the top.
- (MUSIC STARTS) - And bring that last part back.
- Married? - Yes, married.
Two weeks.
- Is this true? Hey, is this true? - Two weeks.
You got a problem with that? Yeah, I got a problem with that, man.
- I thought she was gay.
- STAR: Shut up, Andy.
If you try to take advantage of her, you know - what I'll do to you, right? - Hey, Star, stop.
I respect her more than that.
So she's not gay? - What are you talking about? - You need to stop! Guys, guys! The Sound House rep - will be here any minute.
Y'all ready? - Yes.
I'll be ready, soon as you tell me why Quavo's in my studio.
STAR: Quavo? What? - Like Quavo Quavo? - Scoot, scoot.
Yeah he's with Floyd Entertainment.
He'll just be here a couple of days (SIGHS) All right.
I'm parched, actually.
Look, I need y'all to focus on Sound House.
- Focused.
- WOMAN: Right in here.
MAURICE: Ms.
Desmond.
Have a seat.
Thank you.
Please meet the artists of the Noah Brooks tour.
- And their managers.
- LENA: Jahil Rivera.
Manager by day, hustler by night.
This job is your midlife crisis.
Wow! She did her homework.
Um, I'm Carlotta Brown.
I manage Take Three.
Ms.
Desmond, my girls are rising stars with a rapidly growing fan base.
A tour with Sound House - would be next level.
- I know.
Uh, which is why I'm here.
One thing I don't like to do is deliver bad news over the phone.
Bad news? I fought for Sound House to back this tour.
I fought for you, Noah.
But ultimately, my company sees you as a risk.
You're a hotheaded headliner, and no one else on this marquee can pick up the slack should you fail.
Wha Wait, what? ALEXANDRA: All right, but you've got us.
Have you not listened to any of our music? - I have.
You're good.
- NOAH: Listen, I - I'm-I'm sober now.
- Yeah, one bad move, you're off the wagon When we send out an artist, it's a big investment.
Without a guaranteed success, there is no tour with Sound House.
A guarantee like Quavo? What if Quavo headlines for us? Well, then we would have something to discuss.
- Okay.
Okay.
- He's in the building, right? He loved my idea, right? (ALL CHATTERING, LAUGHING) - Andy, stop lying to yourself! - Star.
- (OTHERS LAUGHING) - Star.
What? Are you that pissed over Alex that you would stoop this low? Wh-Why would you do that? 'Cause I'm not trying to lose this tour.
What are you talking about? Why are you letting us get in the way? What is "us"? You showed up in my life at a time that I needed you.
We were there for each other.
But you clearly didn't need me.
So I've moved on.
Alex has moved on, and now you need to.
So you're saying after all this time, you-you feel nothing for me? - This is my chance.
- (PHONE CHIMES, VIBRATES) You're messed up, Star.
Yeah, I've heard that.
(SINGING MELODY) Hey, nephew.
Can I talk at you for a minute? What's up? I mean, you do know she's an addict, right? Are you really calling somebody an addict right now? - (SCOFFS): Come on.
- Man How come you didn't come talk to me about this first? 'Cause there was nothing to talk about.
She needed my help, so I helped her.
I mean, do you even like her? Mm.
You like her, huh? You're my manager.
- Okay? Not my dad.
- Oh, yeah? Are you sure it's that simple? 'Cause let me tell you something.
You got feelings for this girl, and you take this out on the road, on this tour, - things will get complicated.
- If I need your advice, I'll come to you, tÃo.
I been on my own for a long time, you know that.
And I'm sorry about that.
Paola? Mom? (SNIFFLING) PAOLA: Hi.
I have been trying to find you.
(WHISPERS): Mom.
I know you probably have a lot of questions, and I do, too.
You look good.
Where have you been? I want you to hear my music.
(LAUGHS): Your music.
Yeah.
Let's listen to your music.
(SIGHS) Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh - Yeah, yo, Quavo - Quavo - I paid all my bills for a lifetime - Bills Shawty say she love me for a lifetime She love me I went to the jeweler, told 'em ice mine Icy So I can stand outside and be your sunshine - The ice shine - Yeah All these sacrifices, damn, I made it look easy Damn Doing shows on the road, know you need me - Road - Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh Shout-out to my lifetime, and I'm not talking 'bout TV Lifetime For a lifetime Man, you got here just in time.
- What you mean? - Come out here real quick.
Look, I know you with Floyd Entertainment and not Midtown, but Give me something stronger than this, dawg.
Look, here's the thing: I got this tour with Midtown about to launch.
What would you say if I made you the headliner? I don't know about that, man.
Man, it would take you a year to put together a tour from scratch.
This one here is ready to go now, which means real paper in your pocket sooner.
Real talk, I need a big fish for this Noah Brooks tour, otherwise, Sound House goes away.
Noah Brooks? I used to open up for him when I was coming up.
(CHUCKLES): I don't think he gonna like this.
Oh, he's gonna have to like it.
Look, what I got to do to get you on board here? Actually, there is something I want you to do.
I need you to make an introduction.
Done.
Lifetime - For a lifetime - Lifetime Lifetime For a lifetime They can't take this away Take my dream, take my spot All I got, believe I'm gon' give it And if it's mine, believe I'm gon' get it So we turned nothing into something - And we still got time - Turn up Dim the lights and we still gon' shine Gon' shine Take the wheel and we still gon' ride Scoot, scoot It's real, and this here is all mine - Scoot, scoot - Lifetime - Lifetime, yeah - Scoot, scoot Lifetime, lifetime For a Lifetime, lifetime yeah Lifetime, lifetime For a lifetime.

(CHUCKLES) You goin' in.
Thanks.
I was surprised Maurice said you wanted me to hop on this.
Come on.
You know, you Alexandra Crane.
Yeah, well, your last mixtape was hot.
And I'm not even gonna lie, I listened to it - for, like, a week straight.
- Just a week? You better be lucky it was a week.
What's up? Oh, what's up? You know we on tour again, right? - Is that right? - Yeah, your boy said you need help landing Sound House.
You know this your last shot at getting back on top, right? Here.
That way.
So let's pour up.
Take 'em back to the old days.
(CLEARS THROAT) Listen, I'm I'm good, man.
- I-I'm trying to stop.
- Nah, man.
- Since when you turn down a shot? - Say, bruh, I'm good.
He's good, Quavo.
A'ight.
More for me.
NOAH: Hey, Maurice! The hell you thinking, man? CARLOTTA: From what I know the problem with your last tour started with the drinking then the drugs, and ended with you punching a label president.
Don't do it.
You know, I worked my ass off to win that showcase.
To get my second shot.
And I still ain't good enough.
Well, that ain't the answer.
(SIGHS) (KNOCKING ON DOOR) Hi.
You want to tell me about Arlene? There's nothing to say.
So you didn't have nothing to do with it? I did what I had to do to protect you.
You kill my mama to protect me, too? I need to know what happened the night my mother died.
- You know what happened.
- No.
All I have is pieces.
I have pieces in my head like a puzzle.
And I'm trying to figure it out, and I need your help.
You got to help me figure it out.
Your mother overdosed, Star.
That's the truth.
No, the truth is that you're crazy.
And you passed that gene on to me.
Okay? It's in my DNA.
Whatever is wrong with you is wrong with me.
I have done horrible things to people.
Whatever happened that night with Mama, I saw it.
And it messed me up.
You grabbed me by the shoulders, right? - You were shaking me.
- Don't say a word.
You told me not to tell anybody.
"Never tell anybody.
This is our little secret.
" Well, what was our little secret? I should never even have been there.
Carlotta says I didn't speak for two weeks after Mama died.
Why? Don't do this.
Please.
Tell me what happened right now! Please.
I am begging you! No.
You're a coward.
I never want to see you again.
No contact, no phone calls.
Just leave.
(DOOR CLOSES) I want you I want you (PAOLA LAUGHS) I'm still working on it.
My God.
You're so talented.
And the kid is a hard worker, let me tell you.
I'm sorry that I've been gone for so long.
Well, you're here now.
- (DOOR CLOSES) - SIMONE: Hey.
Mom.
I want you to meet Simone.
- She's my wife.
And this is my mother.
- Wife? - I didn't know your mom was in town.
- I-I didn't know you were married.
No, he's just, he's just helping her out.
Mind your business, tÃo.
You are my business, boy.
Son.
I got a call from your dad.
ICE is looking for you.
ICE? What're you talking about, ICE? Why-why would Immigration be looking for him? PAOLA: Jahil, your brother is not Angel's real father.
All I want is you They give me everything, but everything ain't you Your real father is Dominican, like me.
They keep on talking 'bout (EXHALES) What are you talking about? I came to the States, oh, with you on my hip and a work visa.
When my work visa expired, I-I decided to stay anyway.
I ran one red light, and got pulled over, and and they deported me.
I wanted a better life for you, so I lied and said you were Javier's, and he made up fake papers.
But but now I think that Immigration knows something.
So what are you saying? You're an undocumented immigrant.
And as long as you are here in the States, you aren't safe.
Angel.
Baby.
Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang - Gucci gang, Gucci gang - Gucci gang Spend ten racks on a new chain - Yeah - My love do ouu - I forgot her name - Yeah I can't buy a wedding ring Rather go and buy Balmains Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang Gucci gang Gucci gang, Gucci gang - Where you been? - Nowhere important.
Come on.
Ooh I forgot her name, yeah I can't buy no wedding ring Ooh JAHIL: Hey.
Check it out.
Good news, everybody.
Ever since Quavo announced that he's joining the tour, Midtown Sound is trending big-time.
- What? - Hey.
Hey.
(APPLAUSE) Hey, hold on, hold on.
Hey, we're going up.
I'm right here with Alex Crane.
Hey, man.
Chill out with all that, man.
She ain't no joint to be passing around, bro.
You know I'm just playing.
All right, well, you guys just keep playing then.
Y'all see this dude over here catching feelings already, man.
- Look at him.
- Watch out, man.
Hey, bruh, you better chill out, bro.
Well, you know what happened last time.
What you need to worry about is keeping your eye on your girl over there.
I'd love to have a dip in that chocolate.
What? - Noah.
- (GUN COCKS) Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey.
R-Relax, man.
- Hey, relax.
- You're gonna pull out a gun, bro? Hey, hey, we don't need to do all this.
Oh, yeah? Hmm? Put the gun down.
We all good.
I'm good.
You ain't.
- I'm out.
- JAHIL: Hey, hold on a second.
- Quavo.
- Nah, nah, nah.
You need me.
I don't need you.
And I damn sure don't need this wack-ass B-level tour.
Good luck.
CARLOTTA: What the hell was that about? What the hell was that? What you mean? He the one that pulled out the gun.
You ain't even on tour yet, and you already picking fights.
Whatever.
Quavo was disrespecting Alex.
Ain't nobody buying that.
You need to wake up.
91% of musicians are completely unknown, and here you are, you're not chasing the dream no more You are the dream.
- And you got a lot more to gain.
- Do I? Every corner I turn, somebody's trying to remind me of the past, or telling me I ain't good enough.
I'm gonna be straight with you.
You're saying that to yourself.
So what's really going on? That's what I keep asking myself every day.
Look, this tour is gonna be everything it should be.
- It's crucial for all of us.
- There ain't no more tour.
You let me worry about that.
I know how bad I want it.
I know how bad you want it, too.
Noah, man up.
STAR (ON RECORDING): It's Star.
Leave a message.
Hey, Star.
It's me.
Look, you were right, and I'm gonna be leaving now.
For real this time.
I've done enough damage.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) Tell Simone I said good-bye, okay? Whatever it is, I bet I got a story that can beat it.
(SIGHS) You make me happy, Simone.
Wow, no one's ever said that to me before.
Thanks.
What happened? She dipped on me and never looked back.
That's what happened.
Yeah, but she's here now, and she's worried about you.
She wasn't worried about me when I was living with that monster for all those years.
I find out he's not even my father.
And I'm an undocumented immigrant.
Yeah, well, uh Well, I've I've got worse stories, so (BOTH CHUCKLE) She said she was gonna send for me.
She never did.
She said she was gonna call.
She never did.
I just don't want to hurt anymore, Simone.
I won't let that happen.
Sometimes people change.
Sometimes they don't.
Hey, Angel.
Don't let her leave without saying good-bye.
'Cause you'll regret it.
Are you ready to play? I'm gonna beat you.
(LAUGHS) Okay.
Before you give up on the tour, hear me out.
Give us a minute, please? Sorry.
What if you find another promoter? - Someone local.
- Uh, Carlotta, it Look, we got a loyal fan base.
Atlanta loves these artists.
If we can show Sound House that we can pack them regionally, then nationally, we got a shot.
All right.
I'll reach out to a regional promoter - I know from back in the day.
- All we got to do is prove that we can sell out a show without Quavo.
You really think you can sell out a show last-minute? How? Just leave that to my girls.
Pop a Perky just to start up - Pop it, pop it - Pop two cups of purple - Just to warm up - Two cups, drank I heard your she got that water Splash, drip, drip, woo, splash Hey.
Am I interrupting anything? Nah, you're good.
Hey, watch out real quick.
So, why aren't you going on the tour? Well, you know, your boy messed that up.
Mm-mm.
He's not my boy.
Oh, he's not? On my radar watch - You're a player.
- Maybe, but there's only one Alexandra Crane.
That sounds a lot like something a player would say.
- (PHONE VIBRATING) - See? Who's that? I don't even know this number.
Talk to me.
STAR: How come you ain't call me back, Quavo? - Huh? Huh? Quavo - Who this? Girl, he hung up.
(LAUGHING): Send it.
(LAUGHS) Don't play dumb.
Are you serious about me getting on one of your tracks? Yeah, I'm serious, if your boy don't stop tripping.
- I've got him under control.

I got it.
Yo, Alex, you done? - Maurice wants to see us real quick.

Quavo's six million followers are looking at the flyer for our show tonight.
And I just saw Alexandra Crane ho for ticket sales.
- I didn't sleep with him, though.
- You still got time.
I'm sad I missed it.
- What's wrong? - Where's Noah? We broke our necks to put this show together last-minute.
Now I can't find the bastard.
He'll be here.

- And a sold out one.
If you keep selling out regional shows like this, I'll run the idea of a bigger tour - up the flagpole.
- Okay.
- I'm okay with that.
- That's what I'm talking about.
But it won't be a Noah Brooks tour.
He's the same liability he always was.
CARLOTTA: Maurice.
Look at this.
Instant reaction.
G-Girl, we did it! - Yeah.
- (ECHOES): We did it! Yeah.
- We did it! - Don't We did it! (DISTORTED): Star, don't say a word.
Are you okay? I just need some I just need some air.
Star From my love Never I thought - But I was wrong - Mama? Bring Mommy her medicine, baby.
every morning It wasn't a dream 'Cause that's what it seems But you're real, I can't stop falling A deep connection Your imperfections I wouldn't change them at all Mama? Mama? Now you can't run You can't hide From my love.
(NEEDLE SQUISHES) What did you do? I gave Mommy her medicine.
Baby? Ah, geez.
Star.
You can never tell anybody about this.
You understand? Don't say a word.
(NEEDLE DROPS) Go through Yeah, I need to report an overdose.
You can't hide Yeah.
You can't run You can't hide You can't run You can't hide From my love.
I married an amazing lady.
Simone, you're amazing.
Thank you for today.
I'm just returning the favor.
I just don't want you to get deported.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) You know, we can stay married as long as you want.
It doesn't work like that.
You can't save me.
Well, we're family now.
(QUIETLY): Okay.
- (LAUGHS) - One more.
I know I was hard on you earlier, but you deserved it.
Actually, I'm I'm here to say thank you.
Look, you've-you've always been straight with me.
That's because I've been where you are.
I don't want to see you spin out.
Sound House is gonna be down our necks.
They gonna be watching you, Noah.
I know, I know, I know.
And as good as tonight's show was, all I could think about was a drink.
I'm glad you stopped me.
I ain't stop you from doing nothing.
- You did it on your own.
- Yeah, this time, maybe.
But it's deeper than that, you know? Look, I know I have a problem.
And I (SIGHS) I-I know I can't do this by myself.
There are people out there who can help.
Don't be scared to ask.
Okay.
Will you be my manager? (LINE RINGING) BRODY (OVER PHONE): Hello? Star? Brody, where are you? I need to talk to you right now.
I can't right now, baby.
STAR: I remember everything from the night that mama died.
And I understand now.
You were looking out for me.
(CRYING): You were trying to protect me.
BRODY: Don't worry about what you think you remember, okay? You were right.
I killed Arlene.
And I got to go now, baby.
STAR: No, no, no, no, no.
You don't have to leave.
I understand.
It's okay.
BRODY: Hey, and don't try to come after me, okay? I love you, Star.
And I always have.
Brody.
Thanks for the call.
I'm not as heartless as you are.
You killed my sister for no good reason.
Yeah, she was an awful person.
I don't believe you.
Don't you just love a good bath? Your sister raised a monster and stood by him while he beat her.
She wanted to destroy Star.
You think that's a kind person? She was an evil bitch.
(SHUSHING) And what does that make you? See you.
(PHONE VIBRATING) Dad, please call me back.
I'm sorry.
- Next tour is all you.
- Next summer? - Try next month.
My ex-business partner.
I need you to find out their next move.
And your boys will open for Noah.
I am in no condition to pursue this guardianship.
- How long do you think I have? - Another week.
- I get a vibe from you.
- I pronounce you husband and wife.
CARLOTTA: I want Take Three on the Noah Brooks tour.
If you lose your sponsor, everyone will know why.
We get to go on tour! You know, I felt like I saw Mama when the paramedics were taking Karen away.
- What is that? - This song I keep hearing in my dreams.
CARLOTTA: The day your mother died, that song was playing in a loop.
You didn't say a word for two weeks.
If you're not gonna tell her, then I will.
From my love.
Baby, tell me why, why I've got to try So hard you got me craving your attention Baby, I can't lie, not a day go by I hope I see my name up in your mention Boys is calling me, but I don't really care BILL CLINTON: All Americans are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country (SPEAKING SPANISH): They keep on talking 'bout, all I want is you They keep on looking, but all I want is you They give me everything, but everything ain't you I want you, I want you (SPEAKING IN SPANISH): I want you You don't know when to keep your mouth shut, do you? Baby, tell the truth, what I got to do To get you with your arms around my body? What I got to lose, lose from telling you How I feel, I'm hoping that you're ready Boys is calling me But I don't really care DONALD TRUMP: When Mexico sends its people, they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists.
And some, I assume, are good people.
They keep on talking 'bout All I want is you They keep on looking, but all I want is you Baby tell me, baby, baby, baby, tell me Baby tell me, baby, baby, baby, tell me Baby tell me, baby, baby, baby, tell me What I got to do, what I got to do? Do, do I bring me Get mine, 'bout mine, go hard Looking for another like me Boy, stop I bring me Whose love is the tightest? Whose kiss is the nicest? Me Whose touch is the rightest? I bring me I bring, I bring me.
CARLOTTA: That was fun.
You can always keep clothes at my place.
Start riding into work with me.
Easy, champ.
I'm just staying with you 'cause there ain't no room at Ruby's.
Oh, is that all? - Ooh.
- (BOTH LAUGH) I'll see you at the Sound House meeting later.
The girls are hyped up about landing a A-list promoter.
Oh, well, they ain't landed him yet.
They want to meet with the talent to get a feel for them.
Now, if they're impressed enough to sign them on, this tour's gonna be next level.
Look at you.
You as hungry for this as they are.
Hey, Charles needs to leave the day-to-day in somebody's hands.
I ain't mad at you.
MAURICE: Looks like the rebuild's coming along.
Yeah.
Everyone in the whole neighborhood is helping out.
Feels good to be appreciated.
Drilling's got to be done by 6:00, or Carlotta will get noise complaints.
It's finally starting to feel like old times.
Well, well.
You're here to volunteer, right? What you need me to do, light skin? Or do I just get in where I fit in? Look, this is not the time to put this on.
What am I supposed to do with this? Put it on.
I'm not wearing that.
- (DOOR CLOSES) - (CARLOTTA SIGHS) You and Maurice are getting pretty serious.
- Stay out of grown folks' business.
- I'm just saying, you've been staying at his house a lot, Miss C.
CARLOTTA: Looks good.
Simone, you got a letter from the County Clerk.
CARLOTTA: That was fast.
We just sent in the work release papers.
Yeah.
What's the matter? Why are you acting funny? I'm not.
Yeah, you are.
What's wrong? Okay.
So, I got scared when they told us we weren't going on tour, and Ayanna said I had one week until I had to go back to juvie, so I did something.
What did you do? I got married.
- Married? - Oh girl.
She didn't get married.
To who? The ghost of Karen? Really? Oh, my God.
You married Angel? Why the hell would you go and do something like that? You're 17.
You ain't got no business being married.
Okay, what else was I supposed to do? I had to protect myself.
What if the tour falls through? My ass would've been sent back to that hellhole.
The tour is real.
Yeah, just like Ayanna being my guardian? - (CARLOTTA SCOFFS) - What's Angel getting out of this? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Exactly what I just said.
Look, I'm finally free.
- Please be happy for me.
- Oh, my goodness.
Dear Lord, please smack some sense into this girl - before I have to.
- It's only six months.
As soon as I turn 18, we're getting a divorce, so I'm tired of your secrets.
Well, I learned from the best.
Cott.
You would've been my maid of honor.
We're not done with this marriage discussion.
I-I feel like we are.
- (KNOCKING) - WOMAN: Hello? Oh.
Arlene? No.
Charlene.
Charlene Zimmer.
I'm Arlene's sister and I'm looking for Star Davis.
For what? I'm Star.
Hunter had very good taste.
You're very pretty.
What you want? Well, I've been here for two weeks trying to find out about my sister's death.
Police don't know anything.
Her body was found in a quarry off I-75.
She'd been dead for a month.
Stabbed.
I promise you, she'll never bother you again.
They say it was brutal.
Do any of you know anybody who would kill my sister? Nah.
I'm sorry.
I don't know nothing.
Wow.
Brody, I need you to call me back right now.
This is serious.
Girl, what'd he do now? I think he killed Arlene.
Girl, no, he didn't.
Stop saying that.
He did.
He did.
He came around here, like, a month ago.
Blood all over his face.
He told me, "You don't have to worry about Arlene anymore.
" Now that woman is dead.
Handsome white men do always turn out to be those crazy serial killers.
What? I be watching them crime shows.
I'm being serious.
I know Brody did this.
- (DOOR OPENS) - Okay, maybe you're right CHARLENE: Sorry to interrupt.
I didn't mean to upset anybody.
If you if you remember anything or see anything, give me a call.
Please, Ms.
Davis.
You, too.
Thank you.
STAR: Oh, my God.
Of course she's a mortician.
So, she do hair? Okay.
All right.
Let's go inside.
CHARLENE (ON TV): If you know anything about who may have killed my sister, Arlene Morgan, I urge you to do the right thing and come forward.
This ain't going away.
Like I said, I was protecting Star and I You weren't supposed to kill the bitch! The cops found the body two weeks ago.
- They have nothing.
- I ain't talking about the cops.
Her damn twin is all over the news.
Look, I was careful.
All right? They don't have any trace of me or you.
Me? Oh, no, no, no, no.
I ain't touch her, you did.
This is all on you.
They're not gonna find out.
Trust me.
You hear me.
For once, I finally got something going good, and I ain't about to let your sloppy mistake come back and bite me in the ass, you hear that? We're good, Jahil.
All right? Lifetime For a lifetime Lifetime For a lifetime Dude, you got to bounce.
- (MUSIC STOPS) - (NOAH SCOFFS) - Quavo, man.
What's up, boy? - What's up with it? I ain't seen you since the last tour.
How you doing, man? What you doing in here? I'm with Floyd Entertainment now.
Came in last night to see what's up with that paperwork.
- Oh, word.
- Oh, yeah.
- Hey, play that back one time.
- Okay.
(SONG PLAYS) Man, that's dope.
That's dope, man.
Yeah, I'm about to head out on tour again.
Oh, yeah? We got Sound House backing us right now.
After what happened last time? Yeah, well, that ain't me no more, bro.
I see you all boo'd up on Crane.
That's who you got taking care of you now? For real, man.
Yeah.
Yeah, she keep me in check.
She can't even keep her own mama in check.
(LAUGHS): Yeah.
You know the streets talking.
Saying that you fell off.
Saying you got dropped from the label.
Me being the opening act, everybody asking me questions.
I held it down, though.
Yeah, I appreciate that.
Well, look, I'm gonna let you get back to it, man.
Doin' shows on the road - All right.
- Yeah.
That'll be good.
- (MUSIC STOPS) - Hey, run that back from the top.
- (MUSIC STARTS) - And bring that last part back.
- Married? - Yes, married.
Two weeks.
- Is this true? Hey, is this true? - Two weeks.
You got a problem with that? Yeah, I got a problem with that, man.
- I thought she was gay.
- STAR: Shut up, Andy.
If you try to take advantage of her, you know - what I'll do to you, right? - Hey, Star, stop.
I respect her more than that.
So she's not gay? - What are you talking about? - You need to stop! Guys, guys! The Sound House rep - will be here any minute.
Y'all ready? - Yes.
I'll be ready, soon as you tell me why Quavo's in my studio.
STAR: Quavo? What? - Like Quavo Quavo? - Scoot, scoot.
Yeah he's with Floyd Entertainment.
He'll just be here a couple of days (SIGHS) All right.
I'm parched, actually.
Look, I need y'all to focus on Sound House.
- Focused.
- WOMAN: Right in here.
MAURICE: Ms.
Desmond.
Have a seat.
Thank you.
Please meet the artists of the Noah Brooks tour.
- And their managers.
- LENA: Jahil Rivera.
Manager by day, hustler by night.
This job is your midlife crisis.
Wow! She did her homework.
Um, I'm Carlotta Brown.
I manage Take Three.
Ms.
Desmond, my girls are rising stars with a rapidly growing fan base.
A tour with Sound House - would be next level.
- I know.
Uh, which is why I'm here.
One thing I don't like to do is deliver bad news over the phone.
Bad news? I fought for Sound House to back this tour.
I fought for you, Noah.
But ultimately, my company sees you as a risk.
You're a hotheaded headliner, and no one else on this marquee can pick up the slack should you fail.
Wha Wait, what? ALEXANDRA: All right, but you've got us.
Have you not listened to any of our music? - I have.
You're good.
- NOAH: Listen, I - I'm-I'm sober now.
- Yeah, one bad move, you're off the wagon When we send out an artist, it's a big investment.
Without a guaranteed success, there is no tour with Sound House.
A guarantee like Quavo? What if Quavo headlines for us? Well, then we would have something to discuss.
- Okay.
Okay.
- He's in the building, right? He loved my idea, right? (ALL CHATTERING, LAUGHING) - Andy, stop lying to yourself! - Star.
- (OTHERS LAUGHING) - Star.
What? Are you that pissed over Alex that you would stoop this low? Wh-Why would you do that? 'Cause I'm not trying to lose this tour.
What are you talking about? Why are you letting us get in the way? What is "us"? You showed up in my life at a time that I needed you.
We were there for each other.
But you clearly didn't need me.
So I've moved on.
Alex has moved on, and now you need to.
So you're saying after all this time, you-you feel nothing for me? - This is my chance.
- (PHONE CHIMES, VIBRATES) You're messed up, Star.
Yeah, I've heard that.
(SINGING MELODY) Hey, nephew.
Can I talk at you for a minute? What's up? I mean, you do know she's an addict, right? Are you really calling somebody an addict right now? - (SCOFFS): Come on.
- Man How come you didn't come talk to me about this first? 'Cause there was nothing to talk about.
She needed my help, so I helped her.
I mean, do you even like her? Mm.
You like her, huh? You're my manager.
- Okay? Not my dad.
- Oh, yeah? Are you sure it's that simple? 'Cause let me tell you something.
You got feelings for this girl, and you take this out on the road, on this tour, - things will get complicated.
- If I need your advice, I'll come to you, tÃo.
I been on my own for a long time, you know that.
And I'm sorry about that.
Paola? Mom? (SNIFFLING) PAOLA: Hi.
I have been trying to find you.
(WHISPERS): Mom.
I know you probably have a lot of questions, and I do, too.
You look good.
Where have you been? I want you to hear my music.
(LAUGHS): Your music.
Yeah.
Let's listen to your music.
(SIGHS) Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh - Yeah, yo, Quavo - Quavo - I paid all my bills for a lifetime - Bills Shawty say she love me for a lifetime She love me I went to the jeweler, told 'em ice mine Icy So I can stand outside and be your sunshine - The ice shine - Yeah All these sacrifices, damn, I made it look easy Damn Doing shows on the road, know you need me - Road - Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh Shout-out to my lifetime, and I'm not talking 'bout TV Lifetime For a lifetime Man, you got here just in time.
- What you mean? - Come out here real quick.
Look, I know you with Floyd Entertainment and not Midtown, but Give me something stronger than this, dawg.
Look, here's the thing: I got this tour with Midtown about to launch.
What would you say if I made you the headliner? I don't know about that, man.
Man, it would take you a year to put together a tour from scratch.
This one here is ready to go now, which means real paper in your pocket sooner.
Real talk, I need a big fish for this Noah Brooks tour, otherwise, Sound House goes away.
Noah Brooks? I used to open up for him when I was coming up.
(CHUCKLES): I don't think he gonna like this.
Oh, he's gonna have to like it.
Look, what I got to do to get you on board here? Actually, there is something I want you to do.
I need you to make an introduction.
Done.
Lifetime - For a lifetime - Lifetime Lifetime For a lifetime They can't take this away Take my dream, take my spot All I got, believe I'm gon' give it And if it's mine, believe I'm gon' get it So we turned nothing into something - And we still got time - Turn up Dim the lights and we still gon' shine Gon' shine Take the wheel and we still gon' ride Scoot, scoot It's real, and this here is all mine - Scoot, scoot - Lifetime - Lifetime, yeah - Scoot, scoot Lifetime, lifetime For a Lifetime, lifetime yeah Lifetime, lifetime For a lifetime.
Damn, girl.
(CHUCKLES) You goin' in.
Thanks.
I was surprised Maurice said you wanted me to hop on this.
Come on.
You know, you Alexandra Crane.
Yeah, well, your last mixtape was hot.
And I'm not even gonna lie, I listened to it - for, like, a week straight.
- Just a week? You better be lucky it was a week.
What's up? Oh, what's up? You know we on tour again, right? - Is that right? - Yeah, your boy said you need help landing Sound House.
You know this your last shot at getting back on top, right? Here.
That way.
So let's pour up.
Take 'em back to the old days.
(CLEARS THROAT) Listen, I'm I'm good, man.
- I-I'm trying to stop.
- Nah, man.
- Since when you turn down a shot? - Say, bruh, I'm good.
He's good, Quavo.
A'ight.
More for me.
NOAH: Hey, Maurice! The hell you thinking, man? CARLOTTA: From what I know the problem with your last tour started with the drinking then the drugs, and ended with you punching a label president.
Don't do it.
You know, I worked my ass off to win that showcase.
To get my second shot.
And I still ain't good enough.
Well, that ain't the answer.
(SIGHS) (KNOCKING ON DOOR) Hi.
You want to tell me about Arlene? There's nothing to say.
So you didn't have nothing to do with it? I did what I had to do to protect you.
You kill my mama to protect me, too? I need to know what happened the night my mother died.
- You know what happened.
- No.
All I have is pieces.
I have pieces in my head like a puzzle.
And I'm trying to figure it out, and I need your help.
You got to help me figure it out.
Your mother overdosed, Star.
That's the truth.
No, the truth is that you're crazy.
And you passed that gene on to me.
Okay? It's in my DNA.
Whatever is wrong with you is wrong with me.
I have done horrible things to people.
Whatever happened that night with Mama, I saw it.
And it messed me up.
You grabbed me by the shoulders, right? - You were shaking me.
- Don't say a word.
You told me not to tell anybody.
"Never tell anybody.
This is our little secret.
" Well, what was our little secret? I should never even have been there.
Carlotta says I didn't speak for two weeks after Mama died.
Why? Don't do this.
Please.
Tell me what happened right now! Please.
I am begging you! No.
You're a coward.
I never want to see you again.
No contact, no phone calls.
Just leave.
(DOOR CLOSES) I want you I want you (PAOLA LAUGHS) I'm still working on it.
My God.
You're so talented.
And the kid is a hard worker, let me tell you.
I'm sorry that I've been gone for so long.
Well, you're here now.
- (DOOR CLOSES) - SIMONE: Hey.
Mom.
I want you to meet Simone.
- She's my wife.
And this is my mother.
- Wife? - I didn't know your mom was in town.
- I-I didn't know you were married.
No, he's just, he's just helping her out.
Mind your business, tÃo.
You are my business, boy.
Son.
I got a call from your dad.
ICE is looking for you.
ICE? What're you talking about, ICE? Why-why would Immigration be looking for him? PAOLA: Jahil, your brother is not Angel's real father.
All I want is you They give me everything, but everything ain't you Your real father is Dominican, like me.
They keep on talking 'bout (EXHALES) What are you talking about? I came to the States, oh, with you on my hip and a work visa.
When my work visa expired, I-I decided to stay anyway.
I ran one red light, and got pulled over, and and they deported me.
I wanted a better life for you, so I lied and said you were Javier's, and he made up fake papers.
But but now I think that Immigration knows something.
So what are you saying? You're an undocumented immigrant.
And as long as you are here in the States, you aren't safe.
Angel.
Baby.
Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang - Gucci gang, Gucci gang - Gucci gang Spend ten racks on a new chain - Yeah - My love do ouu - I forgot her name - Yeah I can't buy a wedding ring Rather go and buy Balmains Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang Gucci gang Gucci gang, Gucci gang - Where you been? - Nowhere important.
Come on.
Ooh I forgot her name, yeah I can't buy no wedding ring Ooh JAHIL: Hey.
Check it out.
Good news, everybody.
Ever since Quavo announced that he's joining the tour, Midtown Sound is trending big-time.
- What? - Hey.
Hey.
(APPLAUSE) Hey, hold on, hold on.
Hey, we're going up.
I'm right here with Alex Crane.
Hey, man.
Chill out with all that, man.
She ain't no joint to be passing around, bro.
You know I'm just playing.
All right, well, you guys just keep playing then.
Y'all see this dude over here catching feelings already, man.
- Look at him.
- Watch out, man.
Hey, bruh, you better chill out, bro.
Well, you know what happened last time.
What you need to worry about is keeping your eye on your girl over there.
I'd love to have a dip in that chocolate.
What? - Noah.
- (GUN COCKS) Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey.
R-Relax, man.
- Hey, relax.
- You're gonna pull out a gun, bro? Hey, hey, we don't need to do all this.
Oh, yeah? Hmm? Put the gun down.
We all good.
I'm good.
You ain't.
- I'm out.
- JAHIL: Hey, hold on a second.
- Quavo.
- Nah, nah, nah.
You need me.
I don't need you.
And I damn sure don't need this wack-ass B-level tour.
Good luck.
CARLOTTA: What the hell was that about? What the hell was that? What you mean? He the one that pulled out the gun.
You ain't even on tour yet, and you already picking fights.
Whatever.
Quavo was disrespecting Alex.
Ain't nobody buying that.
You need to wake up.
91% of musicians are completely unknown, and here you are, you're not chasing the dream no more You are the dream.
- And you got a lot more to gain.
- Do I? Every corner I turn, somebody's trying to remind me of the past, or telling me I ain't good enough.
I'm gonna be straight with you.
You're saying that to yourself.
So what's really going on? That's what I keep asking myself every day.
Look, this tour is gonna be everything it should be.
- It's crucial for all of us.
- There ain't no more tour.
You let me worry about that.
I know how bad I want it.
I know how bad you want it, too.
Noah, man up.
STAR (ON RECORDING): It's Star.
Leave a message.
Hey, Star.
It's me.
Look, you were right, and I'm gonna be leaving now.
For real this time.
I've done enough damage.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) Tell Simone I said good-bye, okay? Whatever it is, I bet I got a story that can beat it.
(SIGHS) You make me happy, Simone.
Wow, no one's ever said that to me before.
Thanks.
What happened? She dipped on me and never looked back.
That's what happened.
Yeah, but she's here now, and she's worried about you.
She wasn't worried about me when I was living with that monster for all those years.
I find out he's not even my father.
And I'm an undocumented immigrant.
Yeah, well, uh Well, I've I've got worse stories, so (BOTH CHUCKLE) She said she was gonna send for me.
She never did.
She said she was gonna call.
She never did.
I just don't want to hurt anymore, Simone.
I won't let that happen.
Sometimes people change.
Sometimes they don't.
Hey, Angel.
Don't let her leave without saying good-bye.
'Cause you'll regret it.
Are you ready to play? I'm gonna beat you.
(LAUGHS) Okay.
Before you give up on the tour, hear me out.
Give us a minute, please? Sorry.
What if you find another promoter? - Someone local.
- Uh, Carlotta, it Look, we got a loyal fan base.
Atlanta loves these artists.
If we can show Sound House that we can pack them regionally, then nationally, we got a shot.
All right.
I'll reach out to a regional promoter - I know from back in the day.
- All we got to do is prove that we can sell out a show without Quavo.
You really think you can sell out a show last-minute? How? Just leave that to my girls.
Pop a Perky just to start up - Pop it, pop it - Pop two cups of purple - Just to warm up - Two cups, drank I heard your she got that water Splash, drip, drip, woo, splash Hey.
Am I interrupting anything? Nah, you're good.
Hey, watch out real quick.
So, why aren't you going on the tour? Well, you know, your boy messed that up.
Mm-mm.
He's not my boy.
Oh, he's not? On my radar watch - You're a player.
- Maybe, but there's only one Alexandra Crane.
That sounds a lot like something a player would say.
- (PHONE VIBRATING) - See? Who's that? I don't even know this number.
Talk to me.
STAR: How come you ain't call me back, Quavo? - Huh? Huh? Quavo - Who this? Girl, he hung up.
(LAUGHING): Send it.
(LAUGHS) Don't play dumb.

But it won't be a Noah Brooks tour.
He's the same liability he always was.

I ain't stop you from doing nothing.

I can't right now, baby.
STAR: I remember everything from the night that mama died.
And I understand now.
You were looking out for me.
(CRYING): You were trying to protect me.
BRODY: Don't worry about what you think you remember, okay? You were right.
I killed Arlene.
And I got to go now, baby.
STAR: No, no, no, no, no.
You don't have to leave.
I understand.
It's okay.
BRODY: Hey, and don't try to come after me, okay? I love you, Star.
And I always have.
Brody.
Thanks for the call.
I'm not as heartless as you are.
You killed my sister for no good reason.
Yeah, she was an awful person.
I don't believe you.
Don't you just love a good bath? Your sister raised a monster and stood by him while he beat her.
She wanted to destroy Star.
You think that's a kind person? She was an evil bitch.
(SHUSHING) And what does that make you? See you.
(PHONE VIBRATING) Dad, please call me back.
I'm sorry.
