03x01 - King in Play

[bunniefuu]

[FBI agent] Everybody up.

Everybody up.

[tense music playing]

Ma'am, I need you to get up.

Don't you see I'm in a wheelchair?

Oh, so you can't walk?

She can walk.

[FBI agent] Ma'am, I need you up.

[Olivia] Look, look,
I just left the hospital to be here.

I can't just jump up
and put my boots on the ground.

-Okay. Work with me.
-Oh!

Wait a minute, that hurts!

-Then put your hands in front.
-Damn it, you're hurting me!

Don't make us do this the hard way.

Make it the hard way.

The hard way would be running yo a*s over.

I would really suggest
that you all be real quiet right now.

This m*therf*cker
actually turned state's evidence.

As I keep advising yo a*s.

-You're not my father, bro. Shut up.
-No, no, your father just set you up.

And you walked right into it
with yo stupid a*s.

Now shut up.

[Norman] Come on with this sh*t.

I'll be out of here in 24 hours.

I know judges.

Oh, you don't know sh*t.

I know if you don't have
that money by Friday,

they coming for you.

And prison can't keep 'em out.

Oh, go to hell.

[tense music continues]

What the f*ck is wrong with you, man?

-This is some bullshit.
-[Olivia] Give him life!

[Norman] Boy, you about to be glad
I'm cuffed.

I'm not being arrested?

No.

But do you wanna be?

I… I… [clears throat] Mm.

-You know what?
-No.

You gotta learn to listen
to what's being said.

Stupid a*s son of mine.

Really?

As low as you are to me right now?

I know one thing...

All I know is that you are going to jail.

And all I know is…

You can take her now.

They still need that money, Charles.

And if you don't have it by Friday,

you see that little investigation
that might

or might not have been a call I made?

Well, we'll just say, uh,
they might have some real evidence.

What are you talking about?

Yo mama.

Take her away.

Do you really wanna talk here, Charles?

Get me the money!

[tense music continues]

[music fades]

[cell phone ringing]

-[keypad beeps]
-Hello?

So?

[Alex] Yeah, nothing yet.

Okay, well, call me
when you hear something.

Yeah, I got you.

[Rain] 'Cause Kimmie
has not been calling me.

Soon as I know something,
I'll let you know.

[Rain] And, Alex,

please watch her.

I'll take care of her.

-Okay.

Are you serious?

Angel!

-[music stops]
-What?

You just haven't learned
your lesson, have you?

Leave me alone.

Okay, fine.

Stupid.

sh*t, he's putting me out anyway.
Might as well enjoy this sh*t while I can.

[scoffs] Okay.

If you say so.

But this is the wrong move.

Where the hell you going?

I'm about to get ready to go to my club.

You actually bought that raggedy-a*s club?

Yes, I did.

And I need to go and get there early
so we can set up,

and I'll let everybody know
I bought that raggedy-a*s club.

Holy… Yeah, I don't ever wanna step foot
in that shitty-a*s place again.

You say that now,

but when he put you out,
I'mma have the stage ready for you.

[chuckling] Yeah, sh*t.

[laughing] He gonna put you out.

Bye, Rain.

I'm just sayin'.

[music ends]

Well, that was somethin'.

[chuckling] Yeah.

I love playing chess.

And you play that game very well.

Yeah, but…

But what?

Doesn't it all seem a little too easy?

We went to the feds, so you're good.

I mean, yeah, but...

Yeah, but what?

[tense music playing]

I knew it.

Can someone enlighten me?

I knew that you

are a lot more like me
than anyone ever could've imagined.

Kimmie here thinks like me.

She's a diamond with many facets,
many sides.

So you think they may
find a way out of this?

No.

But you can never be too sure.

See, Norman, in his stupidity,

has moments of brilliance.

And he knows a lot of judges
who will help him.

Federal ones?

Well, I hope this sticks.

Are you sure this is airtight?

I looked at it every way I could.

Speaking of tight…

is it true what Roy said
about you and Charles being...

Mr. Bellarie.

[Mallory] Mm.

You need to just tell him the truth.

Yes.

And I'm sorry, sir.

Why?

I'm sorry because...

No, why are you f*cking him?

[tense music continues]

Go ahead, you sick son of a b*tch.

Tell me what… what you're sorry about.

[Varney] I'm sorry,

because you should have known.

You disgust me.

Well, it… it's been a long day.

I have contractors at my house,
I need to get to them,

so I need to get home.

Varney, you'll take me home.

Sure.

Thank you, sir.

-I'll see you tomorrow.
-I'll see you tomorrow.

Hey, why don't we just call it a day?

-'Cause I can tell you're pissed.
-You have no idea.

Horace, it's not that big of a deal.

You have a lot to learn still, I see.

Don't get so arrogant that you think
the little sh*t that I taught you

was a mountain of knowledge.

I wasn't thinking that.

I just wanna know why you feel this way.

What way do I feel, Kimmie?

Enlighten me.

You're really bothered by this.
I can tell.

Oh, so now you're a former stripper
who's now a therapist.

Okay, Horace.

I can see you don't
wanna talk about this. I get it.

[R&B beat playing]

[Trackson] Hey, man.

[Alex] Hello.

Where are you?

I've been driving around looking for you.

Yeah, I'm at my post waiting for Kimmie.

What, did she change it?
'Cause I went there.

Nah, but there's a bunch
of FBI agents here right now.

What?

Yeah, here at the building.

What are they doing there?

I'm not sure,
but this all looks real strange.

I'm on my way.

Yeah, a'ight.

Man, what the hell?

-[Trackson] What?
-I'm not liking what I'm seeing, man.

FBI agents are bringing out Norman,

Jules,

Olivia, and Roy.

[dramatic music playing]

What the hell is happening right now?

[Trackson] Wait, wait, what?

They got Jules?

Yeah, I'm looking at him right now.

[Trackson] I'm coming, man.

[police radio chatter]

[distant siren wailing]

[ethereal music playing]

[Alex] Sir.

Don't you f*cking "sir" me.

What can I do? How can I help?

You've done enough.

-All right, let's go.
-I don't know what you mean.

-Yo. What the hell is happening here?
-Yeah, man, I don't even know.

-You take care of that.
-I got it, I got it, I got it.

[Trackson] I got it.

-Hey. Hey.
-[Jules grunting]

[Trackson exhales]

-Yo, what was that about?
-Nothing, man.

Let's get up there and see what happened.

[ignition starts]

[Trackson] sh*t!

-I'll tell Alex to get the car.
-We'll take my driver.

[Horace sighs]

[Charles] Dad, can I talk to you?

What?

I'mma head to the car.

Hey, I'm not talking to him.

[Kimmie] Just talk to him.

He looks pathetic.

He is pathetic.

Horace, talk to your son.

Who are you to tell me to talk to him?

Your wife.

[tense music playing]

[breathes deeply]

Don't you wanna know what I want?

[tense music continues]

[exhales shakily]

Dad, Mom wants me
to get this money, or she…

Or she what?

Okay, I… I did something really bad,

and she's gonna give the evidence
to the police.

What… what…

What did you do?

It was really bad, okay? I...

n*gga, I asked you what you did.

I had some… some strippers
at the house, and...

You cannot be f*cking serious.

Better question is…

are you still f*cking my attorney?

Dad, I…

[tense music continues]

Okay, yes. Yes.

We have been…

Yeah.

How long?

Dad, I just don't…

How long?

It's about 11, 12 inches.
I don't know. I haven't count...

You think this is a f*cking joke?

Huh?

Huh?

Dad, I'm g*y.
It is really not the end of the world.

[softly] Oh.

It's the end of your world.

Dad, if I don't get this money…

Dad, please, okay? Please.

Well, get it from Attorney Varney.

He doesn't have that kind of money.

Well, then…

it looks like you're sh*t out of luck.

[tense music continues]

-Man, we should've took the stairs.
-What?

It's 20 floors. No way.

Man, this sh*t's crazy.

[ominous music playing]

[elevator dinging]

Officer Alex…

are you with me? Hm?

Yeah, man.

I mean, like,
are you really, really with me?

What are you saying to me?

Well…

[elevator clanks]

[elevator buzzes]

What is it?

You lied and you betrayed me.

-Are we really doing this right now?
-Yeah, we are.

Stop it, man. This is serious.
We need to get up there and see...

-You need to stop with this bullshit.
-Stop this sh*t. This is serious!

You f*cking betrayed me!

Okay. Hmm.

-I see what's happening here.
-Have a seat.

[Roy grunts]

[door buzzing]

[tense music playing]

[door closes]

Why the hell we in here?

You don't learn.

Learn what?

To shut up.

n*gga, who do you think you talking to?

He's talking to the little b*tch
that you are.

[Roy] Hmm.

One, watch that "b*tch" word,

and two, like I said, Unc,
I will beat yo a*s.

Did you notice
you got cuffs on? [chuckling]

[Olivia] Oh, just… just stop it.

Stop it and shut the hell up.

You shut up.

-I'll slap yo d*ck out of yo mouth.
-You all are just like children.

[tense music continues]

I'mma get you.

Do you know what they're doin'?

Huh?

I'm a cop,

and I know exactly what they're doing.

You don't know sh*t.

You always think you know some sh*t.
You don't know sh*t.

And you ain't sh*t.

-Is that right?
-That's right.

They right there…

right behind that glass,

watching us.

Trying to figure out…

which one of us is the weak link.

[tense music continues]

Why the f*ck you looking at me?

[ethereal music playing]

You sure are quiet.

He's gonna fire me.

He's not gonna fire you
for sleeping with his son.

Yes, he will.

[Mallory] No, he's not.

He's gonna have you m*rder*d.

[dramatic sting]

[Varney exhales]

No, I'm just kidding.

-[scoffs] Mallory…
-You need to relax.

-That's not funny.
-[splutters] It...

How the hell can I relax?

I worked my a*s off to get to this point.

Yeah, you just got him
out of some deep sh*t.

I'm sure he'll be grateful.

I don't know.

Trust me.

-I'll go talk to him about it.
-Don't do that, please.

See, that's what I'm... You need to relax.

'Cause all this back-and-forth
is real b*tch-like.

-Mallory…
-[Mallory] What?

I'mma get out, let you drive yourself.

I'm gonna take a rideshare.
Better yet, I'll walk.

-You gonna walk?
-Yeah.

That's what you not gonna do.

What you gonna do is take me home.

'Cause I just got you
out of some bullshit,

and I got you out of that office
from being grilled to dust.

So you can sit here
and be all up in your feelings

about sleeping with his son.

You go ahead and do that.

What you not gonna do
is get out of this car.

You gonna take me home,

we gonna sit in this car together,

and I'mma talk the whole way,

b*tch.

[tense music continues]

[Varney scoffs]

Look, all we need to do

is not say a word and get our lawyers.

All right?

We should call them.

I've talked to McGinnis.

Good.

For me.

You b*tches gotta get your own lawyer.

He ain't representin' you.

Norman…

Look, m*therf*cker, you know
what they did to me at that hospital. Huh?

-Norman...
-You covered it up.

-They setting us up!
-[Norman] Shut up!

And you're making it easy for 'em.

So just shut yo a*s up.

[door buzzes, opens]

[tense music continues]

Hello, everyone.

[door closes]

I'm Agent Paul.

Lawyer.

You don't wanna hear what I have to say?

[Olivia] Lawyer.

[ominous music playing]

Does that go for all of you?

Yes.

So you're the spokesperson.

No, she don't… she don't speak for me.

[Paul] Hmm.

How about you?

f*ck off.

Okay.

Well, I've got some good news
and I've got some bad news.

The bad news is, we've got a whole
mountain of evidence against all of you.

And you're gonna need a team of lawyers
to get you out of this mess.

Are you done?

No.

The good news is,
I'm here to offer you a deal.

A one-time get-out-of-jail-free card
to one person.

Just one.

To whoever calls my office first.

And the rest of you…

are gonna be in here
for a very, very long time.

How's Ray?

Ray?

Your boss.

Yeah.

He's good.

You… you may wanna tell him
that I'm in here.

How do you know him?

Well, it's how he knows me
that you should be concerned about.

Right.

Well, you all have 24 hours
to contact my office.

No, I won't be here for 24 hours.

And why is that? You a…
You're a threat to yourself?

[chuckling] No.

I'm not a threat to myself.

So you're saying you're a threat to me?

No, I would never say that. [chuckles]

See, that… that'd be like saying
that, uh, I'm a k*ller

when I know I'm not.

Right.

Well, you all have my offer.

Look forward to hearing from you guys.

-[door buzzes]
-Shall we?

[tense music playing]

[door closes]

Norman, don't say another word.

I don't have to, n*gga.
You heard what I said.

Yeah.

Every word.

Yeah.

So… are we doing this?

Not here.

Hold up, hold up, hold up.

Are y'all leaving me out of somethin'?

-Stop with your paranoia.
-I ain't paranoid.

Ma, they got a plan.

Yeah.

Uh-huh. I'm looking at 'em.

Look, if y'all think I'm gonna
take the fall for this sh*t…

y'all's out your damn mind.

Do you see this?

I get it.

Here we have the weak link.

You can call me whatever you want.

Like I said,
I ain't taking the fall for this sh*t.

So you gonna flip?

You damn right.

[Roy] Yo!

-Roy...
-[Roy] Yo!

-Roy...
-f*ck this sh*t. No, f*ck this sh*t, Mom.

-Yo!
-Roy!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Brother, brother, hey.

I need to speak to the man.
The white man, I need to speak to him.

Sir?

The white man that was just in here,
can you please take me to him?

[tense music continues]

Let's go.

Come on.

[door buzzes]

-Little b*tch.
-[door closes]

I know y'all got a plan.

But if you m*therf*ckers leave me in here,

I'm going nuclear.

Baby, this is Thursday evening.

You won't be around long enough
to go nuclear.

Now, they can come and get you,

even in this jail.

[tense music continues]

Put the partition up.

[breathes deeply]

So he's been f*cking my son.

-Horace…
-And you knew it.

Just like I clocked you.

Kimmie.

What? I did.

Why does that bother you so much?

Are you kidding me?

No, I'm not. Tell me.

This man is handling all my legal matters,

and he's in the damn bed with my son.

It's highly conflicting.

[Kimmie] Mm.

Yeah, but…

But what?

It's only conflicting
if they're not on good terms. [chuckles]

Kimmie…

You just need to relax, okay?

We have so many other things
to worry about.

Such as?

All of this sh*t.

Well, I can chew gum
and f*ck a n*gga up at the same time.

You are really serious right now.

Yes.

He was solid.

Varney really helped you out.
You're the one that told me to trust him.

I know.
That was before I knew all this sh*t.

They have been at it for a while.

Which makes it worse.

Okay. All right.

Kimmie…

if this man can look me
straight in the face and lie to me,

then he's capable of doing
all sorts of things to protect himself.

You can only trust someone
as far as you can truly see them.

Well…

I think it's a little more
than that. [exhales]

What?

Horace…

you're g*y.

Or bi, or whatever. It's okay.

Like, let's… let's be honest
with each other.

Charles has had more freedom than you did.

[hesitating] And I…

I think you're jealous.

Jealous?

Yes. And it's understandable.

You probably feel like
you've lost all this time.

You're older now, you…

You nearly died,
you're starting to explore…

Just be g*y. [scoffs]

What?

[chainsaw buzzing]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Come out here!

-Hey.
-Wait, what are you still doing here?

You said you'd be finished this morning.

My bad. All right?
My guys are out back finishing up.

We're getting everything cleaned up.

Well, good.

You wanna see the work?

If it's done right,
then I don't need to see it.

Okay.

You can get out of my house. Now.

[tense music playing]

Uh…

Did I stutter?

[scoffs] All right,
we just need to get paid.

What?

Your husband said if we worked
around the clock to get you back in,

then he would pay me in cash, today.

Do I look like my husband?

No. But can you call him?

He's in jail.

So you're not getting paid. Get out.

[scoffs] I… I'm sorry.
I don't think you understand.

I don't think you understand
what the hell I just said.

There's the front door.

Bye.

Paco, wrap it up.

Yes, Paco. Thank you.

And if y'all don't hurry up,
I'm gonna call ICE.

And if y'all took anything, I'mma send
your mama across the border too,

Paco.

[tense music continues]

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Not bad.

Look, I know this family has a tendency
to not pay or play fair, so…

You need to get out of my house.

Not until I get paid.

[tense music playing]

[Mallory exhales]

How much does he owe you?

The invoice is right there.

-I'll cut you a check.
-That ain't gonna work.

-Cash. Now.
-What you mean? It's late. This isn't a...

Well, I guess you got yourself
a new roommate then.

Okay.

Cool. You gonna sit right there?

-I'mma sit right here.
-I love it when a n*gga disrespects me.

Sip up, m*therf*cker. Sip up.

Sip.

[tense music continues]

[cell phone ringing]

[Alex sighs]

-It's not a good time.
-[Mallory] I need you. This isn't a ask.

I have a man sitting in my house
right now that won't leave!

-[Alex] What?
-Yes.

All right, I'll call Whitman.

No, I want you to handle it.

[Alex] I'm an hour or two away.

-I can't. I'll call Whitman.
-You know what? Just shut the hell up.

[Alex sighs]

[hip-hop music blasting on stereo]

[thumping]

[Horace] Close the door!

[knocking]

[hip-hop music continues]

How you doing, sir? Thank you.

-I'm so sorry, ma'am.
-[sighs]

-[Kimmie] Yeah.
-I'm so sorry.

[Whitman sighs]

[hip-hop music continues]

[Whitman chuckles]

[music stops]

[phone line ringing]

[tense music playing]

-Whitman.
-[Whitman] Yeah.

I need you to get over to Mallory's.

I'm sorry, I can't.

Can you get someone over there, please?

She said there's a man there
that won't leave.

Damn. That's probably Lee.
He must not have gotten paid yet.

Um…

He's harmless, but I'm… I'm on it.

I'm on it right away.

I would go by there,

but Mr. Bellarie just pulled up, and, uh…

oof, tell you.

[Alex] What?

Well, I went to go open up the car door,

and, uh…

What happened?

Man, he was banging her
like he was 18 again.

How rich people get this sh*t to work
when he's that old?

Man, I ain't got time for this.
Get someone over to Mallory's.

Okay.

[ominous music playing]

sh*t.

[phone line ringing]

Hello?

[Alex] Rain.

Yeah?

I'm not gonna be able
to drive you to the club.

Why not?

[Alex sighs] Officer Trackson…

he came at me.

[Rain] What?

Yeah, for Jules.

You okay?

Yeah, I'll be all right.

Well, where is he now?

[Alex] I don't know.

But I know he's not dead.

[Rain exhales] You don't sound too good.

Yeah, I'm beat up pretty bad,
but I'll be all right.

[Rain] Do you need me?

No, I just wanted you to know.

Okay.

But you know I still need somebody
on me at the club tonight.

Yeah, there's a kid there.

He worked a lot. Michael.

And Big J's there too.

Mm, yeah, I remember both of them.
They assholes.

Nah.

They're good. I know them.

And, uh, they hate Jules.

-I'll let them know you're taking over.
-No, no, no.

You let me tell them

so I can see if they really as loyal
as you say they are.

[Alex] All right, you'll see.

They're good dudes. Keep them close.

Okay. You sure you okay?

Yeah, I'll be all right.

All right.

And you know what else?

I'm about to change the name too.

To what?

Make It Rain! [chuckling]

I love that.

I love that, but you really sure
you wanna do this?

Kimmie, yes.

Okay.

Well, good. Good.

[scoffs] What?

Okay, so we on the way home
from the office, right?

And I'm talking to Horace

about why he's so upset
about Charles and Varney,

you know, doing what they do.

Wait, he know about that?

Girl, Roy told all of it.

-[tsks] He is an as*h*le.
-Right?

So I'm telling him, like, "You're g*y,"

and I honestly think
that he's just a little jealous

because he never had the freedom
that Charles has.

[Rain] Mm-hmm.

And what?

And…

then he went down on me.

What?

And then…

-What?
-[chuckles]

-Yeah, then...
-You sayin' it like it was good.

It was.

-Kim... No, you know we don't do that.
-No...

I'm not into that. What… what...

Look, I mean, I didn't…
I didn't start it. It just happened.

Girl…

So, what, is he bi?

sh*t, I don't give a damn.

He just…

Oh, girl, I don't know.
I ain't never seen you like that.

He ain't no Roy, that's for sure.

I mean, I'm not in love
with the n*gga. It's just…

I don't know, I'm… I'm confused.

I'm in shock. I don't…

-[Rain] Mm-hmm.
-Yeah.

Well, g*y, straight, bi, don't matter.

-Long as that n*gga still payin'. Okay?
-[exhales]

Hell up. Gotta go.

And I'll take this.

Be careful.

Always.

[music fades]

[knocking on door]

[door slams]

What took you so long?

I'm sorry.

What the hell?

I had to greet Mr. Bellarie.

So I'm just supposed to sit here and die?

-Mallory, I'm very, very...
-Mm, uh…

[splutters] Mrs. Bellarie.

Sorry. Mrs. Bellarie,
I'm very, very sorry.

-What is the problem?
-First of all, you're the problem.

And don't ever call me Mallory again.
I'm Mrs. Bellarie.

-I'm sorry, Mrs. Bellarie...
-No, no, no. n*gg*s always be sorry.

First of all, my problem is standing
in front of me in the damn living room,

and I also have a problem
in the damn kitchen.

Which one would you like
to solve first, Mr. n*gga?

That problem.

Sorry, ma'am.

[tense music playing]

-What's up, Lee?
-[Lee] What's up?

Oh, sh*t, you two know each other?

Yes, we do.

They lied to me, man.

-You told me it was good.
-I know.

You told me
Roy was gonna pay me in cash to do this.

-Obviously something came up.
-I don't care about none of that.

You know the stress I'm under with my wife
and kids. I don't got time for this.

I got a deadline
at 9:00 in the morning with the bank,

or I'mma lose everything.

And whose problem is that?

You see what I'm talking about?

Oh, well, what do you need, huh?

Do you need diapers for your baby mama
in the hood, street n*gga?

Excuse me?

Got your tennis shoes
tied on the electric line?

-Mrs. Bellarie, please stop. Please stop.
-No, no, no, no, no, no.

No, you got this street-a*s,
hood-rat-a*s n*gga in my house.

-You don't know me.
-I'm supposed to be okay with that?

Hey, look, both of y'all need to stop!
Listen, dude, I will get you paid.

I promise.

-Okay, Lee?
-By the morning.

Lee, come on.

Listen to me. I know you don't have
any decency in you at all.

Hold on.

And I know this family is messed up,
but I'm a good, God-fearing man.

Oh, good, God-fearing man?

You a good, God-fearing man, huh?

-I have a house...
-You God-fearing?

-I have a house for foster kids.
-You have a house?

For foster kids.

And if I don't get this money
by the morning,

a lot of lives are gonna be ruined.

sh*t, a lot of lives?

I did the work, man.

I really thought this was the miracle
I was praying for.

[Mallory] Oh.

Lee, I think it's time to go.

I… I need that money, man.

Lee, we gotta go.

You shouldn't be begging.
You should be praying, God-fearing man.

That's what you do, huh?

Get down on your knees
and pray for your money?

Lee.

-Lee.
-We gotta go.

-Sorry, Mrs. Bellarie.
-Time to go, Lee.

-Bye, Lee.
-[Whitman] Sorry.
