01x03 - Scream

[bunniefuu]

[intense music]

We can sit here all day.

I don't know
what you want me to say.

Something.

Something.

Okay, smart a*s.

So, did Terrell
have a hit out on him or not?

Like I said, I don't know what
you're talking about,

Detective Young.

So, you mean
he beats one of Mona Dee's guys

almost unrecognizable,
and she just didn't give a f*ck?

You know, I heard you
let Lavar hit it,

and that's why Terrell
f*cked him up.

What can I say? A lot of men
and women want to f*ck me.

You look like the type
that likes to watch.

Hm.

Well, speaking of watching.

The two of you hosted
sex parties at this penthouse.

Is that right?

[Horn blows]

Mm, I see you're wearing that
tie that I like.

Mm-hmm. Sure am.

I am super stoked about this
penthouse tonight.

Me too.

Though I am a little nervous
to be breaking the rules,

bringing in your a*s in there.

Maybe I should
have my own party.

What? You trying
to party without your man?

[Laughs] You know, I break all
the rules for you, Daddy.

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

Seriously, though, I think this
can make us some real money.

There's some moves
I wanted to make,

and this could leverage us
right where we need to be.

Yeah, I mean, people are willing
to pay top dollar

to be a part of our
exclusive members only club.

- Yeah.
- Crazy.

All we need to do is produce
an extraordinary event.

Well, you know,
I got that handled.

You know how I do.

Yes, I do know how you do.

Mm-hmm.

Mona was right.

This a*s is heavy.

Oh, shut up.

[Both laugh]

I'm glad.

But I got to swing by the club
before I go into work.

Okay. Oh.

I thought you had
to get to work.

Yeah, I do.
But, you know, I can be quick.

- Mm.
- Mm.

♪ That's what you
thinking about? ♪

♪ I got everything right here

I mean, for real.
He gives me everything I need.

From the moment we met,
it was just instant connection.

Unlike anything
I've ever felt in my life.

If you're so happy
in your relationship,

why rent the penthouse?

We don't subscribe
to traditional marriage.

You know, just because
we allow each other

to feel pleasure
from other people

doesn't mean that we're not
committed like other couples.

Sex is just sex.

We're beings.
The largest group of animals.

Which means we were meant
to be free.

And that means free
in more ways than one.

Having multiple sex partners

means you'll just be satisfied
in multiple ways.

I told you, I am not here
to judge you, Syleena.

Okay, Doc. You know,
I could really use a drink.

By all means, help yourself.

You know, I tell couples
all the time,

the thing that kills most
relationships is the secret,

not the affair.

Hm.

Mm. I don't know about that.

I think sometimes affairs can do
a lot of damage, too.

Yes, I agree with that.

But I mean, it's really not
the end all Be all that

everyone thinks it is.

My dad was the original
Rolling Stone.

He would find women on the
street, and there wasn't one

he wouldn't want to get
into bed or flirt with.

And he flaunted that sh*t.
Not a care in the world.

For me, for my mother, nobody.

I can imagine how difficult that
must have been for your mother.

It was hell.

And she loved him so much.

She would always say,

"Why am I not enough for you?
Why am I not enough for you?"

She blamed herself
for his bullshit.

I can see that was pretty
traumatic for you as a child.

Tell me, did your parents
ever overcome that?

No.

My dad got exactly
what he deserved.

He was f*cking some woman.

And the husband came home.
This is an article.

Husband shot him in the head
while he was on top of his wife.

DRAYA: That's terrible.
I'm so sorry, Syleena.

And your mom, she had to
grieve through her heartbreak.

After his m*rder, she just
couldn't get herself together.

It was like she
needed him to live.

She... She died
of a broken heart.

Then you met Terrell.

Then I met Terrell.

And at first, it was
just a lot of hot sex.

A lot of hot sex.

- Okay. Okay. Okay.
- Yeah.

I was this young, fresh,
Black boutique owner.

He was this high powered
Black attorney.

It just... It just made sense.

A power couple.

We are a power couple.

Terrell just loves me
like no one else.

He sees through my outer core.

It's like nothing else
I've ever felt.

And he would do anything for me.
So I would do anything for him.

Including have an open marriage.

You know what, Dr a ya?
You can call it daddy issues.

You can whatever.

But I believe that men
are not capable of monogamy.

Given opportunity, all men are
going to f*cking cheat on you.

How does having an open
marriage appease Syleena?

You know, this beautiful woman
sitting across from me?

[Chuckles]
The open marriage was my idea.

In fact, I told Terrell
I would not marry him

unless he agreed to it.

Because he can't cheat
if you orchestrate it.

[Chuckles]

Ding, ding, ding.

Exactly.

Cheers.

What, you don't drink?

for joining us.

Please enjoy a drink
or some candy.

And above all, enjoy yourselves.

- Good looking crowd tonight.
- Mm-hmm.

I saw we had an extra guest.

Did you invite someone
and forget to tell me?

Yes. Sorry.
I had a last minute addition.

Mm.

Who is it?

The guest of honor.

Judge Dupri.

Hey.

I want you to make sure

Seems like we have
a little rule breaker.

Disappointing.

[Line ringing]

- Hey.
- Hey.

Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

Yeah. The husband.

Okay. I mean, I'm not
f*cking crazy, right?

Did we know he would be there?

Nah, I mean, it is a sex party.

You could have would assumed
that would have been there.

But you know what they say
about assumptions?

Yeah, but I feel like I should
check her a*s because

I told her no husbands allowed.

This is my research, alright?

And she's now potentially
f*cking with my money.

I need you to watch your a*s,
all right?

- Just pay attention.
- I got you.

Anything else you need?

Yeah. Hey. Zoom in on
the two men in the corner.

Give me one second.
Let me see what I can do.

DRAYA: Is that Judge Dupri?

Yep.

Oh, you're kidding me.

This f*cking guy.

They're going to be
in therapy a long time.

JULIO: Just really annoy me.
All right?

[Speaking Spanish]

Mark. I'm trying to tell...
Listen.

I told you I don't like
all that flashy sh*t.

No, and tell CNA to don't be on
that bullshit either. Okay?

I'm not doing that fake a*s
reality sh*t that Gina's doing.

Okay?

I'm only talking
about the contract,

the season,
and the Man of the Year award.

That's it.
Look, I know you, Mark.

Mark, I swear to God,

[Speaking Spanish]
I will walk off the set.

Don't... Don't do me like that.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

Okay.

They will. Yeah.

- Yo.
- Yeah!

That sh*t looks clean, man.

ALEJANDRO: Yeah, man, can't
have you swimming around

in no dirty a*s pool.

[Chuckles]

I remember I used to
dream about this sh*t, man.

ALEJANDRO: Yeah? Excuse me.

It's a long way from Georgia.

A long way from the D.R.

Mm hmm.

But you got everything
Pop trained you for.

Hell yeah, I did.

Man, when Pop got deported,

man, I couldn't
hold it together.

A single Black mother
in Georgia.

Man.

Yeah.

sh*t, I mean,
I guess we didn't have

it much better.

We struggled, bro.

My mom being Puerto Rican and us
being in the middle of the D.R.,

they didn't accept us.

I guess no matter
how you flip it,

[Speaking Spanish]

You know your heritage
and where you come from.

He taught you baseball, man.
Look at you now.

And look at you now.

I mean, not right now, but
that's why I brought you here.

You're getting
a peace of my pie, you know?

[Speaking Spanish]

What the f*ck does that mean?

[Laughs]
I'm saying we're family, bro.

I got you for life.

To the end.

I love you, big bro. For real.

Love you, too.

Hermanos, you know?

Hey.

I need you to do me a favor.

I saw these.

Something's going on with Gina.

I need you to look
into it for me.

Like what?

I don't know.

I know this sh*t is made up,
and I'm probably tripping,

but she's been asking you
to take her

anywhere different?

Nah, bro. Same old, same old.

I checked all the accounts.
She's not spending money.

That's weird, bro.

I don't know.
I'm probably tripping.

Am I tripping?

[Laughs] Hey, I don't know,
man, but you know

I'll check on it for you.

My man, I know you will.

Cheers.

Now go make mama some money.

Here's your drink this morning.
Anything else?

Thank you, baby. This'll do.

No problem.

Mona Dee!

You got something for me?

You ever think about putting
a tattoo parlor up in here?

Hell naw.
I'm just marking my property.

Okay, well, as much as I enjoy
watching you pop cherries,

time is money.

Yeah. Time is money.

Your money is my money.

And I'm gonna
count this sh*t later.

All right. You know,
that's just from one party.

Now, see, if I was a party
planner, I'd have

a line of pill popping
Potomac housewives

lined out damn door.

But I still want
the rest of my money, too.

TERRELL: Oh, you'll get it.

These parties,
the more exclusive they are,

the bigger the checks
of the people.

Like, these are
the most influential big wigs.

Trust me.

You always called my trust.
Trust me, n*gga.

Those influential bigwigs
you talking about

be the main m*therf*ckers
calling the police on a b*tch

when sh*t don't go
they f*ck' way.

Not these people.

I don't like disruptions in my
business, Terrell.

I'm fully aware.

I brought you you on because
you had a vision.

Same vision I had before
my brother almost f*cked up

our whole sh*t f*cking around
with some stupid a*s b*tch.

Wait a minute, are you comparing
yourself to me?

No, not really.

But you got drive, the same
drive that my brother

had a long time ago before
he let that b*tch f*ck him up.

Oh, what's up, Lavar?
Where you been at? You late.

Sorry, Auntie.
I got caught up.

Maybe you shouldn't
be high 24/7.

What the f*ck is you?
My drug counselor now?

I'm tired of y'all
with this bullshit,

always f*cking fighting.

Y'all n*gg*s need to act like
y'all got some f*ck' sense.

Your nephew need to know
how to respect his elders

and only speak when spoken to.

And Steve Urkel need to learn
his f*cking place.

You know I'm family, b*tch.
Blood thicker than water.

Lavar, shut the f*ck up.

Terrell need a new shipment
by tomorrow.

I stay f*cking ready.

Like your a*s is supposed to be
ready two hours ago?

And put that sh*t out!

f*ck, man.

All these f*ck' swings.

I need y'all n*gg*s to act like
y'all got some sense.

Won't be a problem on my side.

Mine neither, b*tch.

You call me a b*tch... f*ck off!

You m*therf*ckers is f*ck'
with my paper!

She's right.

I'll beat your a*s, n*gga.

Just hit me when
the burn about to drop.

This square n*gga blowing
my f*ck' high.

b*tch a*s n*gga.
Disrespectful.

You always f*cking with him.

You know he got a short fuse
like his stupid a*s daddy.

Quit f*cking with him!

I'm gonna handle my business!

You just keep his a*s
on a leash!

n*gga, who the f*ck you think
you talking to like that?

You must have forgot
who the f*ck I am.

Get your b*tch a*s out of here!

b*tch!

Spank it? Huh?

[Line ringing]

JORDAN:
You've reached Jordan Vincent.

Please leave a message,

and I'll come back to you
as soon as possible.

[Line ringing]

Oh.

Ecstacy has been missing you.

You like that?

[Line Ringing]

MAN: Hey, n*gga, she out there
living her best life.

She ain't thinking about your
locked up a*s.

[Laughs]

[Buzzer]

- Hi, baby.
- How'd it go?

Oh, just like you said it would.

You know, Mona,
as mean as she is,

you know, she knows we're
about to make a lot of money.

SYLEENA: I love it.
Just stick to the plan.

Yeah, I will.

AJ, you're so silly. Yeah,
I just finished a session.

I'm about to get the girls.

Oops.
I probably should have called.

I forgot my wedding ring.

I found it. It's all good.

I'm about to head out,
so it's okay.

Hey, girlies.

I don't think we're supposed
to be here at the same time.

Oh, it's all good.
I'm about to head out.

What's with the mess?

Oh, yeah, that.

Well, I mean, I was hosting
an event here tonight,

so I came a little early
just to relax.

But since we're all here,
we might as well try

to get to know each other
a little bit better, right?

I mean, we share a penthouse for
only God knows what kind of

juicy a*s tea be going down.

We already have a bond.

- I'm with the shits.
- Make the most of it!

I love wine.
Okay. Just a couple of minutes.

Or an hour.

- Or two.
- Or two.

The $100 Million Man,
Julio Rodriguez.

That's me, baby.

Boy, this city sure
does love you.

And now the Kennedy Foundation's
Man of the Year.

Congrats on that.

Thank you. Thank you.
I'm humbled by, you know,

their acknowledgment of my work
with the youth program.

How do you think
the Kennedy Foundation feels

about the recent rumors swirling
around your personal life?

[Chuckles] Let's not...
I'd rather talk about, you know,

my work with the foundation
and, you know, or my game.

Full disclosure, we got
an anonymous tip that your wife,

Gina Rodriguez,
is having an affair.

Is that true?

[Chuckles]

Absolutely not.

Gina is my angel.

We are very happy. Thank you.

That's what they all say,
but we're giving you

the opportunity right here
to control your narrative.

So what is your response to
the reports that your marriage

to the reality TV star
has crumbled?

Hey, move on.

Come on, Julio.

She's a reality star.
You can't really...

Hey. Listen.

- [Laughing]
- Syleena, you're a nut.

Isn't she?
I'm not mad at it, though.

- I know, darling.
- [Cellphone ringing]

Hold on, ladies.
My publicist is calling.

Oh, fancy.

What's up, Cameron?
You know me now.

CAMERON: Girl,
where have you been?

I've been blowing you up
for over an hour.

I'm with some friends.
What's up?

CAMERON: Check your texts,
then call me back.

MAN: Reality star and superstar
athlete husband...

GINA: Oh, f*ck.

- What's up?
- You all right?

GINA: You have to see this.

What?

He's f*cking crazy. f*ck!

Cameron, what the f*ck is this?

CAMERON: It wasn't me, Gina.

I swear. I kind of wish it was.

But I did not break this story.

f*ck.

- You all right?
- I don't know what to do.

There's no f*cking way
I can go home.

He is f*cking crazy.

What do I do?

Girl, you tripping over
a little rumor?

You're a reality star.

The name of the game is deny,
deny, deny some more.

It's your story. If you don't
want to share it, then don't.

And you know what? What if you
took control of the narrative?

Either way,
you have to be in control.

You have to make the call,
confirm it, deny it, whatever.

You have the power now.
Trust me.

You're right.

It's f*cking time
I take control.

You're right.
You're f*cking right.

- I know.
- Right.

Alright.

LAVAR: Vodka's here.

MONA: There.

We not going to talk about it?

MONA: Talk about what, Lavar?

I'm not no
m*therf*cking mind reader.

If you got something
that you want to say to me,

spit it out or let me
get back to these books.

Pop's parole hearing
letter, it came in, right?

So you gonna get him out,
right, Auntie?

Do it look like I sit on
the f*ck' parole board?

All I'm saying is it'll be
real good to have him home,

back in charge.

You got a problem with the way
I run sh*t around here?

Then take that sh*t
up with H.R.

- Don't say sh*t to me.
- LAVAR: Come on, Mona, chill.

Everybody know you been holding
it real down

real nice since
he been locked up.

Nice? That little nickel
and dime sh*t that Linc had

before he got pinched up ain't
sh*t compared to this

11 or 12 year business
that I don't been running

and legitimized this sh*t.

And not to mention kept out a*s
out of the feds,

with your m*therf*cking
ungrateful a*s.

Man, here you go again.

Look, I'm just saying, he done
been up for parole before.

And it'll be real good to have
him home, especially with these

n*gg*s on the East
trying to rise up.

You think I can't take care
of them little n*gg*s?

I'm just saying, Linc know their
peoples from way back.

But if it's w*r, it's w*r.

It's w*r then.

Whatever, man.

♪ Get behind it, can't afford
to let it pass me ♪

[Cellphone ringing]

What's up, Mona?

MONA: Linc is up for parole.

Okay. Are you ready for that?

You know, the business has
changed a lot since

he went away.

He's my f*cking brother.

You think I'm gonna let
my brother rot in prison?

Of course not. You know
that's not what I meant.

I know those East Side boys
still respect him.

MONA: Yeah, them n*gg*s
respect me, too.

But you know what this mean.

Yeah. I know.

He's f*cking crazy.

No way in hell
I'm gonna go home.
