All language subtitles for Lace s02e05 Seize Your Crown

Thank you.

what you've done, he is ready to take
you back.

Did God just not tell me that today?

He did not lay that on my heart about
going home because he brought my wife

home.

I want y 'all to give a warm welcome.
Stand up and welcome Mrs.

Antoinette McCullough.

There are two things that everyone can
agree are desirable, purpose and power.

Even my Christian family can relate
because the resurrection of Christ is

that. There's a purpose and there's
great power from it. So there's no

the importance.

And there are people willing to do
anything for a piece of it. But what you

to realize is that you are so focused on
getting what you want that you

underestimate everyone else.

You underestimate someone like me
because my purpose is my power. And if

feel you can threaten that, well, I hope
you're prepared for the consequences.

No more talking about it the way it is,
the way it

is.

It's no mystery.

There's no getting around it when you're
here.

When you're here, we've got chemistry.

We light up when we ignite.

We are stars in a darker sky.

When you leave, don't forget to
remember.

Don't forget to remember.

Forget to remember.

Don't forget to remember me.

Remember me.

God bless you, sister.

Thank you for coming.

Oh, it is so good to see you again,
First Lady.

Oh, thank you for all the commissary
over the years, Sister.

It's wonderful to be back. And we're so
glad to have you, especially with all

the drama.

Hush now. None of that matters.

She didn't mean anything by that. It's
just that, well, with all the mess going

on with Lacey, it's not a good look for
the church.

Every time you turn around, she's on the
news, on Facebook, on the tick -tick

stuff, on the Internet.

And you know how people talk.

I do.

Well, we're just so happy to have you
back home so you can take care of all

foolishness.

God bless you.

Honey.

Don't let those ladies make you upset,
okay?

They're just talking just to hear
themselves talk.

Rev, if Lacey's problems are affecting
the church... Don't worry about that.

We're going to be fine.

Because we're going to get through this
like we get through everything.

Together. Now today is your day. It's
all about you.

Speaking of which, I sent Lacey and
Daniel home to get ready for your party.

I just think you wanted some more alone
time with me.

Yeah. You know, it's been a long time
since we rechristened my office, so I

think we need to go do that.

Why do you think I wore this skirt?

I see you read.

Amen. All right.

Yeah.

You still know how to make an entrance.

Of course, just in case they forgot who
I was.

And I mean that in the most holiest of
ways. Okay.

Well, held and froze over.

You got Varnetta through the church
doors.

I wasn't expecting her, but I guess she
thought she was intimidating me.

Or trying to squash it. It's been years,
Tony.

Yeah, and she's been trying to hurt me
for those 20 years.

I don't trust her. And because she did
me dirty, she shouldn't trust me.

Well, ladies, let's go somewhere
private.

Someone wants to talk to you.

Oh, okay.

Good afternoon, ladies.

It's so good to hear your voice.

How are you?

Eagerly anticipating your release.

Lacey did her best to hold things down
for the family while you were away. But

damn if it isn't good to have you back.

Hopefully you can do something to make
all this drama go away.

We've never had this much attention on
us. You three have been my rock.

I wouldn't have made it through this
without you.

Since we're all here, we need to get
down to business.

I trust that everything is up and
running?

Of course.

But sis, it's not going to be that easy
picking up where you left off.

I don't expect it to be the same.

We're in better positions now.

We're better equipped to get things
done.

What do you have in mind?

Look, just because I wasn't here doesn't
mean I wasn't here.

You already know I have some strategies
in play.

And it involves everyone in this room.

We're listening sis.

Where are you? I was on my way in. Don't
bother.

Someone just trashed our office and shit
us everywhere.

What? Who would do that?

Take a fucking guess.

Listen,

I want you to stay home today. I'm going
to run out.

Lacey and her little minions have fucked
us over one last time.

What are you going to do?

Get to the next woman.

The real woman in charge.

Lacey and her little circle are being
tight -lipped, and so I'm sure a little

charm could go a long way with the dear
First Lady.

We told Lacey everything she needs to
know about the book.

Well, it was only a matter of time
before she started asking questions.

So let's keep this between us.

As far as Lacey is concerned, I don't
have this flash drive.

You don't want to tell her?

Lacey has enough going on. With Gideon,
the investigation, and her marriage, I'm

just trying to help her out as much as
possible, and that means protecting her.

You don't have to worry too much. Lacey
even duplicated you and made a book of

her own. How else do you think she got
Barclay under her thumb?

Well, what about Larson?

Don't worry.

I can get Sasha to help with that little
problem.

Lacey's already been taking care of all
this madness, especially after the press

conference she held. But was that
enough?

This is what I propose.

Another media interview, this time with
you, Tony.

Hmm. I like that.

I want everyone to know this is the last
time they will cross the McCullough

family.

Lacey is a powerhouse, but with the
Power Five behind her, she'll be a force

be reckoned with.

Don't you mean the Power Four?

Celeste, of course, I'm back in the fold
from your backstabbing, aren't you?

Vanetta, don't come in here starting
shit. Starting shit?

Shouldn't I be the one giving you that
warning?

Didn't think I'd see you for another few
years, Antoinette.

Well, what can I say?

God's favor ain't fair.

So it was God that had you stealing from
the police pension fund.

Or betraying your sister. Ladies!

Betraying. I was helping you. I was
helping all of us. You destroyed me.

My political career was everything to
me, and I begged you not to endorse

Barkley. It was better in the long run,
but you couldn't see it that way for

your own selfish reasons.

Shut up.

I saw all y 'all for what you were.

A bunch of low -down lying hypocrites,
and you pose as advocates to the black

community, but you're only enriching
yourselves.

And your precious Lacey.

She is following in your conniving with
death.

Now wait a damn minute.

For what?

First off, you didn't want to get with
the program.

So your political downfall was your own.

Not mine.

Not the Power Five.

And it damn sure wasn't Lacey. So what
you won't do is talk about my daughter

like I won't bless your ass up in this
church today.

Let them use you.

Everybody quiet.

Let's do it then.

Quiet down.

Prisoner do that to you.

We don't do that in here.

Not in God's house, and especially not
with my wife.

Nigga, please.

Y 'all don't scare me.

Shit has changed.

I am on the short list for the U .S.
Supreme Court, and I won't let you nor

Power Five derail my assent to the
court.

Now, you pull that shit you did before,
and I promise you, one of you will stay

in prison.

You're not the only one with God's
favor.

Mr. Ocala, it's a pleasure to finally
meet you. So you're the infamous Denim

Jackson.

I must admit, I'm quite surprised you
took it upon yourself to pop up and

that we have this emergency meeting. I
understand, which is why I appreciate

agreeing to see me. You're a legend.

I didn't invite you to sit.

So why did you insist on meeting with
me, Mr. Jackson?

Are you aware that your daughter
vandalized our property?

I'm not aware of anything you claim my
daughter did.

Well, I just find it a little
interesting that after a press

studio is trashed.

And with you wanting to clear the air
after your release, I figured we could

help each other.

What is there to clear?

The fact that you're a convicted felon
turned into the First Lady is quite the

reputation.

But if you tell me what I want to know,
I can have it spun up in a positive

light. Hmm.

Reputation.

More like an opportunity for growth for
myself and my congregation.

And who better to shepherd a
congregation than a woman who

plight?

But I'm sure you understand reputation,
given who you associate with.

What was that I heard?

Indecent exposure to children?

That was a lie.

Which seems a lot of that is going
around with Lacey, with her daughter's

paternity, and not to mention the FBI
charges.

Aren't you at all concerned with the
severity of her consequences?

I'm surprised you're concerned, given my
daughter's amazing press conference.

Especially after you tried to take my
granddaughter's paternity to your show

boost your ratings. I didn't need that.
So what story will it take then, Mr.

Denham? What is it about Lacey that has
you so turned on?

Are you familiar with Proverbs 30, 15?

Of course you're not.

Let me explain it to you.

It reads, horse leech hath two
daughters, crying, give, give.

There are three things that are never
satisfied.

Yea, four things say not it is enough.

Now I'm old school, and I believe the
best way to get rid of leeches are to

them. So I suggest you not be that horse
leech.

Have a blast one.

Oh, I suggest you make an appointment
the next time you want to meet with me.

I just commissioned this piece by Mariah
Johnson.

Sorry, Judge Boyd.

Good evening, nice to see you. Good
evening, Benji.

I'm glad you could make it. Are you
feeling better?

Oh, yeah. A few bumps and bruises. Not
that I can't manage. I would have came

anyway. I mean, it's been a big day.

Yeah, if only we could avoid any
surprises, unlike Judge Sears.

I've never known her to go to such
lengths.

You know everybody and always who you
like to believe they are.

Excuse me.

Look at this place.

Feels like the good old days.

We're finally together.

I remember the good old days a little
different than this, babe.

I'm just trying to wrap my head around
Vanetta before I wrap my hands around

damn head.

She wasn't invited.

You need to leave Brittany alone.

You have nothing to worry about.

But you do.

Here's a cocktail to relieve you.

Thank you.

You don't have to worry about me,
though. I'm more than fine. There's no

here. Just hanging out with the family.

Glad to see I didn't miss the best part.

Good timing, intern.

I don't like you.

What are you doing here?

Chelsea, glad you could make it. Mrs.
McCullough, thank you so much for the

invite. It's been a long time since I've
been to one of these.

Well, make yourself at home.

Thank you.

You look surprised.

Maybe because I didn't expect to see you
in my house. Oh, so I get you

everything you need with my dad and you
expect for me to just disappear?

Or is it better for you to still have me
around but keep me in the dark with

Port and Chet? Need to know basis.

I would think you knew your place with
me by now. You said you'd take care of

Susan. And you said you wanted to be rid
of me, yet here you are.

Hello, everybody. Thank you all for
coming.

There's no other way that I would like
to celebrate today than with all of you.

Because you're Mutt's family.

And we're here to celebrate my beautiful
wife, the woman of the hour, Miss

Antoinette McCullough. Raise your
glasses.

I'm happy that you're back.

I heard Brittany wasn't invited. Why is
that?

We'll talk about that later.

Jacob! Mr. Bates!

Sheriff?

What's in that envelope, Bates, huh?

Are you here to serve someone?

Lacey McCullough. I'll take it from
here. Thank you, Jacob.

Oh, the McCullough family.

It's nice to see you all back together
again.

Lacey McCullough, you've been served.

You would be wise to remove yourself
from my property this instant.

Don't negotiate.

Don't worry, Sloan. I know my way out.

Enjoy the party

What's

a divorce we'll take care of this later

Talk

to me, you know, it doesn't even matter
I have more important shit to worry

about

I know I haven't told you, but I need
you to keep it between us.

I'm doing pro bono work representing
Alfonso Triplett.

Nice.

That's awesome, babe.

Proud of you.

Thank you.

I'm just excited that I'm making
progress without Lacey, especially since

wasn't supportive in the first place.

She's so worried about herself not
recognizing what I bring to the table.

So, I am realizing that I don't need her
approval anymore.

I can run this shit by myself.

She is not the only queen on the board,
and this might just give me the

spotlight.

And also the satisfaction of helping a
good cause, right?

Are you questioning my intentions?

No, I'm just saying.

Don't get yourself caught up in their
game.

Or getting back at Lacey.

You're better than that.

I just...

I just don't want you to lose sight of
the goal. That's all.

So you're telling me what to do, too?

What? No, that's not what I'm saying.

That's what I'm hearing.

You got to go down to the paint and get
strong. You got to punish him.

It's nice to have the boy back where it
all started.

I always knew he grew up to be one of
the greatest of his time, even as a kid.

And this is why I started First Place
Sports Complex here in Chatsworth.

To give undeserved kids an opportunity
to play organized sports and have

discipline. And to reach their full
potential. I mean, look at him now. Look

you also.

First female NBWA coach.

And we have the number one pick.

He's with us.

This is our time.

Proud of you.

Thanks, Coach.

You want some too?

Hey, dude.

You should pass it. This ain't for you.
You can try music, drawing.

Y 'all got jokes.

Other than basketball.

Because that ain't good. They ain't
getting it all for you.

Your bro got more offense than you, man.
Your girls seem to like it.

Probably a hard player.

Not that.

Not bad at all, son.

Mr. Marzilli, we don't have a game
today. Oh, no, I wasn't stopping by for

I was just making the rounds. I had to
check up on the new players.

You know I got a half a talent.

Yeah, you got quite the reputation.

So when I heard Daniel McCullough had
approached you with an offer, I said to

myself, this can't be true.

There is no way a star like Savoy is
considering an inexperienced recovering

addict.

I told him Randall was... Well, who?

Let me give you some advice, son.

Whatever you promised, if it's not
signed, it's not dealt.

Don't lose your career over some party
boy with a reputation.

I'll see you on the court, son.

Good to see you, Isaac.

What are you two ever talking about,
huh? Y 'all starting up trouble?

No, Pastor.

I'm just happy to see this rich lady at
home where she belongs.

And I was just catching up with an old
friend.

Be safe, Isaac.

Thank you.

Hey,

man, I appreciate the invite. For sure.
You know, we've been locked in since

elementary school.

Yeah, I know.

I just wish we was cool enough to have
to be your brother -in -law.

You know your sister feels fine as hell.

Watch your mouth, bro.

Bullshit, man.

What?

The Marzillis are in Savoy's ear.

They're probably trying to tarnish my
name with that rape shit that they try

pull.

I swear to God if they're trying to fuck
up everything I've been working on,

man. Be cool, man. It'll be alright.

Savoy's a businessman.

And he ain't about to let no bullshit
fuck up a good business deal.

Plus, everybody know those Marzillis are
some racist motherfuckers.

Good to see you, Isaiah.

You too, Mama Toni.

You think when you get settled in,
you'll let me know how it was on the

Go home, I think.

Yes, ma 'am.

Hey, bro, hit me later. Yeah, man. Get
home safe, bro. Yes, sir.

Welcome home, baby.

I missed you so much.

Listen.

And, Lace, to be a lawyer, to please
stay on your ass.

So, things are going great with the
sports agency.

Go ahead to hear that, sweetie.

It would have been nice to have been
consulted about that first. I consulted

Mom.

Everything's not about you, Lace. It is
a good thing Daniel taking initiative.

You should keep an open mind.

Might just be the good press you need
right now.

Might help people forget the other
things happening with your firm.

I'm handling it.

Is that why you had the sheriff show up
at the house tonight during my welcome

home party?

All right, you two, that's enough.

It's been a long day for everybody.

Lacey, you're a very strong woman, and
I'm sure you'll put everything back in

its right place.

The perfect opportunity for us all to
move forward.

Clean slate.

All of her. Understand?

Mm -hmm.

All we are missing now is my
granddaughter.

I told you she's with her father.

Oh. Which one?

I may not have the best radar for men,
but I've always been there for my

daughter. Something that I didn't have
the opportunity to have.

But things are different now.

And I can assure you that I have
everything under control.

As a matter of fact, I have some
business to attend to, so if you guys

excuse me, I'm going to head out.

Oh, no need to rush, hon.

Your office is upstairs now, remember?

This was a really nice party.

So happy to have you home, Mom.

Have a good night, child.

May the good Lord be with you.

Honey, you shouldn't be so rough on
Lacey.

Tonight is all about you.

No worries.

No stress.

And no tension.

I told Zoe she should have some ice
cream. I didn't think you would mind.

Thanks, Dad.

Hey, Pop.

How would you feel if I enrolled Zoe in
school out here in Arizona?

Mark, please.

Tell me what's going on. I'm worried
about you and Zoe.

Are you sure about this, son?

Told you about some things, but I didn't
tell you.

All the shit that I'm going through.

The investigations, my thesis business.

Rumors of ethical assertion.

I'm just glad it didn't affect my
business.

I brought that dude into my house.

I let this man sit at my table.

Eat my food.

We watched the games.

I don't want to make you an idiot, son.

I raised you to be a great man.

Some people just take advantage of that.

I just want you and Zoe to be happy, and
I will be behind you no matter what you

decide.

I trust you. I know you'll do the right
thing.

Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea.

Aaron told me I'd find you easier.

Did Lacey send you?

Nope. I came by myself.

Why are you looking for me?

I need you to do something for me. You
remember Brittany's ex -client, Randall

Jarvis? Yeah.

I need you to hack into the security
surveillance systems in his old house.

Why the hell would I do that?

Randall's claiming it was self -defense,
and in the last couple meetings that we

had, he said there was a camera. Now, I
don't know if there's anything on there,

but if there is, there might be
something that can help us get him out

prison.

Out of prison?

Okay. Even if he is claiming self
-defense, isn't this the same guy who

Brittany hostage?

And you want to get him out?

There's a little more to it than that.

Okay, he panicked. He made a bad
decision with Brittany, but that doesn't

he deserves to rot in jail for the rest
of his life for something he didn't do.

Okay, and how am I supposed to get into
this house? And where am I supposed to

find this footage?

Don't worry about it. I got a plan.

And why am I doing this again?

Because I'm going to make it worth your
while.

We'll do another one.

Me too, please.

Shots, actually.

Beautiful, isn't it?

One of my favorite artists.

It always intrigues me how an artist can
capture an aspect of our reality that

most people ignore.

That gives them a certain creative power
over everyone else, don't you think?

Carla, it is an honor to truly meet you.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Brittany
DePaul.

I've heard a lot about you.

You have.

Absolutely. Especially with your work
with Alfonso after his unjust arrest.

We share that attribute, you know, being
community -minded, wanting to do what

needs to be done to serve our people.

You're certainly a dynamic young woman.

Thank you.

I know my daughter's been busy juggling
everything, and you probably feel she

hasn't been as transparent with you as
she has the other members of her team.

Yeah, yeah. I get it, trust me.

But now that I'm back.

I've been thinking of some ways to help
Lacey.

Someone with your passion, expertise,
and power would be such a huge asset,

which in turn would give you the status
you deserve.

What do you think?

Sousa, dig.

You were supposed to come in today and
give your testimony and you didn't show

up.

Nor have I heard from you.

What's going on?

Call me as soon as you get this. It's
urgent.

Mr.

and Mrs. Harrison, right on time.

I'm Ava. Please come in.

Hi. How are you? Thank you for taking a
meeting at such short notice. My wife

saw this house for sale and just
insisted we had to have a meeting

Well, I think you both will find this
gorgeous property more than exceeds your

expectations. I can't wait to show it to
you. Okay. Right this way.

Hey.

Just playing into the role, Mrs.
Harrison.

As you see, these are all new floors.

The master is... Spacious with its own
renovated en suite as well.

Oh, it's huge.

Probably not.

You two are absolutely adorable.

How long have you been married? Five
years.

Men, he swears he knew I was his wife
when we met five years ago, even though

we've just officially been married three
months.

Of course. Love at first sight is always
beautiful.

Do you think it'd be possible for us to
get a couple bottles of water?

Of course.

Let me just go grab those from the
kitchen. Be right back.

Hurry up. Don't fucking rush me. Get
caught. I'm leaving your ass. Shh.

Where's Mrs. Harrison?

Oh, you know, women. She's already
walking around thinking about pain

and furniture placement.

Maybe I should check to see if she needs
some assistance.

I'll ask you something.

How soon do you think we'd be able to
put an offer in on the house?

Oh, well, I can get the paperwork drawn
up immediately.

This one's been on the market for a
minute, so the seller's motivated.

Why's it been on the market so long?

Well, there was an incident with someone
who died in the home.

But I certainly don't want that to be
deterrent, because I know you both love

it. We do. We do.

And my wife just started a new job in
this area, so this place would be ideal.

Oh, nice.

Where will she be working?

She's a porn star.

Yeah, she may not look like it, but
she's a freak.

Actually, I had to ask her to marry me,
like, really quick, because she knows

how to make a man.

Bag.

Why don't I go ahead and put a call to
the office to get that paperwork drawn

up? Thank you so much. That'd be great.

It's about time. Let's go.

Oh, and if Ava asks you anything about
your movie, just ignore it.

Oh, Ava, I'm so sorry. We've got to rush
out of here.

Oh, no. Is everything okay? Yeah, the
wife's not feeling too great. I think it

was something she swallowed.

Yeah, whatever it was really upset my
stomach.

How about I give you a call when I have
the papers and you can come by the

office?

Amazing. Great.

Beautiful home.

Huh?

Hey, I don't know why you keep calling
me. Hey, man, I told you I was done with

that bush.

What the hell happened here?

That's why I was trying to call you. I'm
trying to figure out who did this.

How should I know?

I find it really interesting that this
happened after I interviewed Lacey.

I know she had something to do with it.

Has Brittany said anything?

Man,

Brittany doesn't have time to fuck up
your office.

She's actually out here trying to help
people.

And you expect me to believe that?

Yes. Look at the positive work history.

Brittany is representing Alfonso pro
bono to get him out of jail.

You think they have time to worry about
this little high school shit?

You seem pretty certain.

Brittany hasn't even been dealing with
Lacey like that.

So you're fishing for something that
ain't there.

Grow the fuck up and leave it alone,
Denim. Damn.

Instead, why don't you check some of the
other enemies you made with the

bullshit you've been spreading? All
right?

Hey, Joe.

Joe, my man.

What's up, man? I can't get you.

Let me get two dirty martinis.

Okay, can I see some ID?

Hey, coming right up.

Paul, now I know you ain't turning
around. My mom won the joint. He got me.

Besides, I thought you could use a drink
or two.

You seem a little off lately. You
alright?

Just had a lot on my plate, that's all.

Yeah, working for life can do that for
you.

Here you go.

And I'm sure the Alfonso Triplett case
isn't helping either.

Who told you I was working with Alfonso?

Dude's dirt.

Brittany,

hold on.

I know you're in here. Terrence!

Brittany?

What's wrong?

Seriously? I don't understand what's
going on.

Why are you so upset?

Who the hell is he?

Seriously? You don't know what's going
on?

I know it was you, Terrence.

I just saw Denim's latest report.

Looks like his sources don't have a
problem with sleeping around, don't

Let me explain. No!

I trust you! I trusted you!

I trusted you!

I thought we had... How could I be so
stupid?

It is real.

You don't understand.

I don't know!

No! Did you or did you not tell Denna?

I'm done.

It's not what it looked like. Let me
explain.

Let go of me!

What is wrong with you?

You ain't going anywhere.

Not until you let me explain.

What the fuck are these niggas doing in
my house?

You all right?

Yeah, yeah. What are you doing here?
It's not important.

Let's get you out of here.

Let's go, Brittany.

Where's the hydrogen peroxide?

Fuck, Aaron. The fuck?

He's dead.

Wait. Where's the hydrogen peroxide?

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know
where anything is.

I'll look for it. We need hydrogen
peroxide.

We need salt.

We need a cloth.

We need trash bags and we need duct
tape.

What are you doing?

I'm going to the car.

Get a mask and some clothes.

Dear Brittany, what can I say?

Our time together has been amazing.

You're the most beautiful and brilliant
woman I've ever met.

And honestly, you're the best thing that
ever happened to me.

I want you to know that I have your back
no matter what. And you can trust me.

And I'll always be loyal to you.

Love, Terrence.

I can't even hear the sound.

Don't know what come over me.

Well, if you say.
