7 00:00:17,843 > 00:00:21,456 I'm feeling right with you

8 00:00:21,499 > 00:00:24,024

9 00:00:24,067 > 00:00:26,200 You

10 00:00:26,243 > 00:00:29,072 [laughs]

11 00:00:29,116 > 00:00:33,859 Don't turn off the light

12 00:00:33,903 > 00:00:39,474 Can we try something new?

13 00:00:39,517 > 00:00:42,781 Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

14 00:00:42,825 > 00:00:45,175 You baby

15 00:00:45,219 > 00:00:49,092 You see this side of me, flowing in the sheets

16 00:00:49,136 > 00:00:51,790 You're in between

17 00:00:51,834 > 00:00:53,227 Don't stop.

18 00:00:53,270 > 00:00:56,752 I love your hands on me.

19 00:00:56,795 > 00:01:00,364 So, we can skip the words, baby

20 00:01:00,408 > 00:01:02,584 [giggles]

21 00:01:02,627 > 00:01:04,064 Um...hello?

22 00:01:04,107 > 00:01:05,500 Leave the lights on

23 00:01:05,543 > 00:01:09,112 Leave the lights on, leave the lights on

24 00:01:09,156 > 00:01:11,506

25 00:01:11,549 > 00:01:13,943 Titus, what?

26 00:01:13,986 > 00:01:16,380 "I love your hands on me."

27 00:01:16,424 > 00:01:18,295 Where have I heard that before?

28 00:01:18,339 > 00:01:22,038

29 00:01:23,735 > 00:01:25,955 You know, I thought...

30 00:01:25,998 > 00:01:28,914 that when we moved here things would be different.

31 00:01:28,958 > 00:01:31,569 I thought that this would be

32 00:01:31,613 > 00:01:32,962 a fresh start for our marriage.

33 00:01:33,005 > 00:01:34,442 I'm gonna be late. Titus!

34 00:01:34,485 > 00:01:36,008 What do you want from me, Amara?

35 00:01:38,185 > 00:01:41,884 I want you to stop punishing me.

36 00:01:41,927 > 00:01:45,670 Baby...I want you to touch me.

37 00:01:47,498 > 00:01:49,892 I love you, babe...

38 00:01:49,935 > 00:01:51,154 more than life itself.

39 00:01:51,198 > 00:01:53,156 Now, I know I made one mistake.

40 00:01:53,200 > 00:01:55,419 I've told you a thousand times he meant nothing

41 00:01:57,204 > 00:01:59,815 Who meant nothing? Huh? Get off me.

42 00:01:59,858 > 00:02:02,296 You can't even say his name, can you?

43 00:02:02,339 > 00:02:04,167 It's Damian Collins...

44 00:02:04,211 > 00:02:06,996 in case you forgot, because I never will.

45 00:02:07,039 > 00:02:12,958

46 00:02:16,919 > 00:02:18,486 [sighs]

47 00:02:18,529 > 00:02:24,448

48 00:02:25,536 > 00:02:27,451 Tracy! Tracy!

49 00:02:29,236 > 00:02:31,934 Tracy, wake up! Mother's waiting.

50 00:02:31,977 > 00:02:33,588 Tracy, would you stop playing?

51 00:02:35,764 > 00:02:37,157 Tracy!

52 00:02:37,200 > 00:02:42,074

53 00:02:43,772 > 00:02:44,990 Tracy?

54 00:02:45,034 > 00:02:46,340 Tracy, honey, wake up!

55 00:02:46,383 > 00:02:47,689 Tracy, wake up!

56 00:02:47,732 > 00:02:49,517 Honey, wake up, please, wake up!

57 00:02:49,560 > 00:02:52,172 WakeEvan, call 911!

58 00:02:52,215 > 00:02:54,522 Honey, wake up. Tracy, please, wake up, wake up, honey.

59 00:02:54,565 > 00:02:56,088 Please, you were doing so well.

60 00:02:56,132 > 00:02:58,395 It's no use, Stephanie. She's dead.

61 00:02:58,439 > 00:03:00,310 Tracy, wake up! Wake up!

62 00:03:00,354 > 00:03:01,529 And you're next.

63 00:03:01,572 > 00:03:02,965 [gun cocks]

64 00:03:03,008 > 00:03:07,187

65 00:03:07,230 > 00:03:09,754 Evan. Evan, no, please!

66 00:03:09,798 > 00:03:10,755 No!

67 00:03:10,799 > 00:03:12,148 [gunshot blasts]

68 00:03:12,192 > 00:03:17,545 [heavy breathing]

70 00:03:54,843 > 00:04:00,762

71 00:04:03,678 > 00:04:08,944

72 00:04:08,987 > 00:04:10,728 Good morning.

73 00:04:10,772 > 00:04:12,991 You sleep okay last night?

74 00:04:13,035 > 00:04:14,689 Perfectly fine. Why do you ask?

75 00:04:14,732 > 00:04:16,168 You were a bit restless.

76 00:04:16,212 > 00:04:17,866 I was worried Constance might have secretly replaced

77 00:04:17,909 > 00:04:19,171 our sheets with lower thread counts.

78 00:04:19,215 > 00:04:20,608 [laughs]

79 00:04:20,651 > 00:04:22,392 I appreciate your concern, darling,

80 00:04:22,436 > 00:04:24,351 but I can assure you I'm perfectly refreshed.

81 00:04:26,135 > 00:04:27,049 Good morning, princess.

82 00:04:27,092 > 00:04:28,485 Good morning, Dad.

83 00:04:28,529 > 00:04:30,052 She's out of bed before the evening news.

84 00:04:30,095 > 00:04:31,358 Will wonders never cease?

85 00:04:31,401 > 00:04:32,837 Oh, cut her some slack, Stephanie.

86 00:04:32,881 > 00:04:34,317 Spelman's on break.

87 00:04:34,361 > 00:04:36,363 The child can afford to sleep in a few more days.

88 00:04:36,406 > 00:04:39,017 I couldn't wait to get out on breaks when I was your age.

89 00:04:39,061 > 00:04:40,845 I would rush right home to work for your grandfather

90 00:04:40,889 > 00:04:42,499 at his firm.

91 00:04:42,543 > 00:04:45,285 I had something that was known back then as selfdetermination.

92 00:04:45,328 > 00:04:47,330 You should Google it some time.

93 00:04:47,374 > 00:04:48,636 What's Google?

94 00:04:48,679 > 00:04:50,333 [laughs]

95 00:04:50,377 > 00:04:53,380 Not that you asked, Mom, but I was up late learning my lines.

96 00:04:53,423 > 00:04:54,859 You're in another play, sweetheart?

97 00:04:54,903 > 00:04:57,079 You guys never listen when I tell you about my life.

98 00:04:57,122 > 00:04:59,211 I told you, I got the role of Lady in Blue

99 00:04:59,255 > 00:05:00,778 in "For Colored Girls."

100 00:05:00,822 > 00:05:02,954 Oh, that's right! I'm gonna call your brother tonight.

101 00:05:02,998 > 00:05:04,347 Maybe Trey can come to your opening.

102 00:05:04,391 > 00:05:05,827 Perfect.

103 00:05:05,870 > 00:05:08,351 Carly, you know that your father and I support you

104 00:05:08,395 > 00:05:09,657 in everything that you do,

105 00:05:09,700 > 00:05:12,224 but at some point you might want to consider

106 00:05:12,268 > 00:05:14,531 a more practical major than theatre studies.

107 00:05:14,575 > 00:05:17,621 You mean like prelaw, so I can follow in your footsteps?

108 00:05:17,665 > 00:05:19,667 And your father's, and your grandfather's.

109 00:05:19,710 > 00:05:21,799 And my greatgrandfather Samuel Perkins.

110 00:05:21,843 > 00:05:22,974 I know, Mom.

111 00:05:23,018 > 00:05:24,759 I've heard the pitch a thousand times.

112 00:05:24,802 > 00:05:28,545 Sweetheart, how are things going with you and Khalil?

113 00:05:28,589 > 00:05:30,373 Khalil is I think it's wonderful

114 00:05:30,417 > 00:05:32,767 that you're seeing Marvin and Marilyn Barnes's son.

115 00:05:32,810 > 00:05:36,161 Looked like you two were getting close.

116 00:05:36,205 > 00:05:38,729 It's really not that serious, Dad.

117 00:05:38,773 > 00:05:40,818 He just seems like a good match for you.

118 00:05:40,862 > 00:05:42,472 I've been trying to convince Marvin to move

119 00:05:42,516 > 00:05:44,605 his manufacturing plants from China to Atlanta.

120 00:05:44,648 > 00:05:46,346 It would be a huge boost for the city's economy.

121 00:05:46,389 > 00:05:47,564 I'll call Marilyn.

122 00:05:47,608 > 00:05:49,044 I'm gonna leave you two at it.

123 00:05:49,087 > 00:05:50,872 Things are crazy at city hall.

124 00:05:50,915 > 00:05:53,353 Abandoning me to the task of charting our daughter's course,

125 00:05:53,396 > 00:05:54,658 per usual, I see?

126 00:05:54,702 > 00:05:56,573 Well, you run everyone's lives so well, babe.

127 00:05:58,923 > 00:06:00,447 Bye.

128 00:06:00,490 > 00:06:02,536

129 00:06:02,579 > 00:06:04,233 [sighs]

130 00:06:04,276 > 00:06:05,756

131 00:06:05,800 > 00:06:07,845 WOMAN: [laughs]

132 00:06:07,889 > 00:06:10,761 Hey, whoowhee!

133 00:06:10,805 > 00:06:13,416 Keisha, girl, turn that up!

134 00:06:13,460 > 00:06:17,072 This used to be my jam. Whoo!

135 00:06:17,115 > 00:06:18,769 Y'all know he was singing about me, right?

136 00:06:18,813 > 00:06:23,078

137 00:06:23,121 > 00:06:24,514 If I'd known there was a party,

138 00:06:24,558 > 00:06:26,995 I'd worn my dancing shoes.

139 00:06:27,038 > 00:06:28,692 What the hell do you want, Peters?

140 00:06:28,736 > 00:06:30,999 Ya know, you're one hostile lady, Rondell.

141 00:06:31,042 > 00:06:32,217 Ms. Lancaster.

142 00:06:32,261 > 00:06:33,523 You don't know me like that.

143 00:06:33,567 > 00:06:36,874 Fine, Ms. Lancaster, you know why I'm here.

144 00:06:36,918 > 00:06:38,659 I already told you I'm not selling.

145 00:06:38,702 > 00:06:40,617 You're not gonna have a choice much longer.

146 00:06:40,661 > 00:06:41,966 The English Rose development's going to happen

147 00:06:42,010 > 00:06:43,359 whether you like it or not, Rondell.

148 00:06:43,403 > 00:06:46,057 You could sell to me now, and get a good deal,

149 00:06:46,101 > 00:06:48,233 or I can wait until the city snatches up the entire block

150 00:06:48,277 > 00:06:49,844 by enforcing the eminent domain order.

151 00:06:49,887 > 00:06:51,759 I can read, Peters.

152 00:06:51,802 > 00:06:54,022 That court order said I got two months to get enough signatures

153 00:06:54,065 > 00:06:55,806 for injunctive relief.

154 00:06:55,850 > 00:06:57,373 You don't even know what that means.

155 00:06:57,417 > 00:06:59,201 It means more time to stop your smug ass

156 00:06:59,244 > 00:07:01,333 from gutting this neighborhood.

157 00:07:01,377 > 00:07:03,074 For the life of me, I'll never understand

158 00:07:03,118 > 00:07:06,164 why you're fighting this hard. Is this dive even up to code?

159 00:07:06,208 > 00:07:10,212 I'd hate...for it to catch on fire.

160 00:07:10,255 > 00:07:12,170 I bet your poor old man would have a hard time

161 00:07:12,214 > 00:07:15,652 making it out alive.

162 00:07:15,696 > 00:07:18,220 I suggest you turn your pasty self around

163 00:07:18,263 > 00:07:20,396 and leave my restaurant while you still can.

164 00:07:22,659 > 00:07:23,747 Oh, and Peters.

165 00:07:23,791 > 00:07:25,401 Hmm?

166 00:07:25,445 > 00:07:29,144 If you ever decide to threaten me or my family again,

167 00:07:29,187 > 00:07:31,712 I'll stick this blade so far up yo' ass,

168 00:07:31,755 > 00:07:33,931 you'll need a colonoscopy to find it.

169 00:07:33,975 > 00:07:35,455 Do you hear me?

170 00:07:42,984 > 00:07:46,161 One thing about making threats, Rondell,

171 00:07:46,204 > 00:07:50,470 you have to be prepared to follow through.

172 00:07:50,513 > 00:07:52,820 Now you be careful out there.

173 00:07:52,863 > 00:07:56,606 Atlanta can be a rough city after dark.

174 00:07:56,650 > 00:08:02,046

175 00:08:06,137 > 00:08:09,271 [bell rings] Cheapass suit.

176 00:08:15,582 > 00:08:17,061 [knocking at door]

177 00:08:17,105 > 00:08:18,106 Hey!

178 00:08:18,149 > 00:08:19,107 Hey.

179 00:08:20,891 > 00:08:22,153 Is that a new case?

180 00:08:22,197 > 00:08:24,591 FBI's convinced several higher ups

181 00:08:24,634 > 00:08:27,507 in the mayor's cabinet are on the take.

182 00:08:27,550 > 00:08:31,423 We're talking allegations of patronage, money laundering,

183 00:08:31,467 > 00:08:33,817 embezzlement, you name it.

184 00:08:35,950 > 00:08:37,995 You think Mayor Lancaster's in on it?

185 00:08:38,039 > 00:08:40,041 That's what I need you find out.

186 00:08:40,084 > 00:08:41,129 [sighs]

187 00:08:41,172 > 00:08:42,434 I don't know, Karen.

188 00:08:42,478 > 00:08:44,828 II went to college with the guy's wife.

189 00:08:44,872 > 00:08:46,743 Even better.

190 00:08:46,787 > 00:08:48,528 We can use your history with Stephanie Lancaster

191 00:08:48,571 > 00:08:49,877 to our advantage.

192 00:08:49,920 > 00:08:52,444 I wanna cast a wide net on this one.

193 00:08:52,488 > 00:08:55,230 Take down as many crooked bureaucrats as possible.

194 00:08:56,840 > 00:08:58,886 And I don't need to tell you what a case like this

195 00:08:58,929 > 00:09:00,104 would do for your career.

196 00:09:00,148 > 00:09:01,018 No.

197 00:09:01,062 > 00:09:02,846 And mine.

198 00:09:02,890 > 00:09:05,936 Look, Amara, I pulled a lot of strings to get you

199 00:09:05,980 > 00:09:07,895 transferred in from Birmingham.

200 00:09:07,938 > 00:09:11,333 I know, Karen, and I appreciate that, but

201 00:09:11,376 > 00:09:13,030 But nothing.

202 00:09:13,074 > 00:09:15,555 Show me how much you appreciate it by taking the damn case.

203 00:09:17,818 > 00:09:20,124 I'm sorry, Karen, I'm just

204 00:09:20,168 > 00:09:22,605 I'm not the right woman for the job.

205 00:09:22,649 > 00:09:28,611

206 00:09:32,441 > 00:09:33,790 [sighs]

207 00:09:35,139 > 00:09:37,446 MAN: Signature's all we need. WOMAN: Got it.

208 00:09:37,489 > 00:09:41,015 [laughs]

209 00:09:41,058 > 00:09:42,538 Hi, Mother.

210 00:09:42,582 > 00:09:44,409 I didn't know you were stopping by the office today.

211 00:09:44,453 > 00:09:46,542 Well, your father was gracious enough to let me use

212 00:09:46,586 > 00:09:50,677 one of the conference rooms for some lastminute gala planning.

213 00:09:50,720 > 00:09:55,246 This year promises to be our grandest evening yet.

214 00:09:55,290 > 00:09:57,727 ALL: [laughing]

215 00:09:57,771 > 00:09:59,120 Mwah.

216 00:09:59,163 > 00:10:01,644 Ooh, you have a wonderful day, sweetheart.

217 00:10:01,688 > 00:10:03,994 Mwah. Mwah.

218 00:10:04,038 > 00:10:05,735 You two play nice.

219 00:10:11,262 > 00:10:13,961 So...

220 00:10:14,004 > 00:10:16,616 how are things coming with the Purifoy class action?

221 00:10:16,659 > 00:10:18,661 Just running down the last of the plaintiffs,

222 00:10:18,705 > 00:10:19,619 then we can file.

223 00:10:19,662 > 00:10:21,011 Good.

224 00:10:21,055 > 00:10:24,536 I put one foot up Purifoy's ass 25 years ago.

225 00:10:24,580 > 00:10:27,104 It's time for the other one.

226 00:10:27,148 > 00:10:29,716 You know, Daddy, you'd have a lot more time

227 00:10:29,759 > 00:10:31,674 to help Mother with the foundation

228 00:10:31,718 > 00:10:33,676 if you cut back on your workload at the firm.

229 00:10:33,720 > 00:10:35,025 Here it comes.

230 00:10:35,069 > 00:10:36,679 Oh, I'm serious, Daddy.

231 00:10:36,723 > 00:10:38,812 You've been talking about retiring for years.

232 00:10:38,855 > 00:10:40,030 Why not now?

233 00:10:40,074 > 00:10:41,379 The firm's doing well,

234 00:10:41,423 > 00:10:44,600 And I can take over the daytoday management.

235 00:10:44,644 > 00:10:46,776 You can't even keep that bottom feeder of a husband

236 00:10:46,820 > 00:10:48,865 of yours in line, and you want me to trust you

237 00:10:48,909 > 00:10:50,998 with my entire law firm?

238 00:10:51,041 > 00:10:53,696 The only reason I'm still married to that "bottom feeder"

239 00:10:53,740 > 00:10:55,567 is because you talked me out of divorcing him.

240 00:10:55,611 > 00:10:56,873 Oh, so it's my fault?

241 00:10:56,917 > 00:10:58,527 You said that having a soninlaw

242 00:10:58,570 > 00:11:00,921 in the Mayor's office would be good for business,

243 00:11:00,964 > 00:11:03,140 that the Carlisles would run the city.

244 00:11:03,184 > 00:11:06,143 All I had to do was play my part as the dutiful First Lady.

245 00:11:06,187 > 00:11:08,189 Well, I did what you asked.

246 00:11:08,232 > 00:11:09,407 Evan's the mayor.

247 00:11:09,451 > 00:11:11,627 And now I want more than photoops

248 00:11:11,671 > 00:11:13,542 and ribboncutting ceremonies.

249 00:11:13,585 > 00:11:17,502 It's time you handed Carlisle Perkins over to me.

250 00:11:17,546 > 00:11:18,895 You lack certain skills.

251 00:11:18,939 > 00:11:20,723 Oh?

252 00:11:20,767 > 00:11:24,640 And by skills, do you mean a penis and a pair of testicles?

253 00:11:24,684 > 00:11:26,120 So I can strut around the locker room

254 00:11:26,163 > 00:11:28,078 sharing secrets with the good ol' boys?

255 00:11:28,122 > 00:11:31,386 See? That's exactly why you're not ready.

256 00:11:31,429 > 00:11:34,084 You are a brilliant attorney, Stephanie,

257 00:11:34,128 > 00:11:35,825 but you've got a lot to learn.

258 00:11:35,869 > 00:11:39,002 And it's a good thing I plan to stick around to teach you.

259 00:11:39,046 > 00:11:42,179 Dammit, Daddy, I could take this firm global if you would

260 00:11:42,223 > 00:11:45,661 just step aside and let me run things my way.

261 00:11:45,705 > 00:11:50,144 Oh? Is that why you've been wining and dining

262 00:11:50,187 > 00:11:54,017 the senior partners behind my back, sweetheart? Hmm?

263 00:11:56,063 > 00:11:58,848 Planning a little coup, are we?

264 00:11:58,892 > 00:12:02,591 Stephanie, there is nothing that happens in my firm

265 00:12:02,634 > 00:12:04,332 or in my town that I don't know about.

266 00:12:04,375 > 00:12:06,029 And don't you ever forget that.

267 00:12:06,073 > 00:12:08,336 Now you have one job right now, okay?

268 00:12:08,379 > 00:12:11,078 Get that ungrateful husband of yours to play ball.

269 00:12:11,121 > 00:12:14,908 Stop schmoozing and scheming, trying to pull some power play.

270 00:12:14,951 > 00:12:17,432 I get a whiff of any more of your backroom maneuvers,

271 00:12:17,475 > 00:12:20,478 and you are out on your ass, daughter or not.

272 00:12:34,666 > 00:12:36,538 We'll just see about that, Daddy.

273 00:12:40,629 > 00:12:42,370 MAN: Well, I think this all looks good, Titus.

274 00:12:42,413 > 00:12:44,067 Appreciate your time. Thanks.

275 00:12:44,111 > 00:12:48,376

276 00:12:48,419 > 00:12:50,465 We'll talk later. Okay. Bye.

277 00:12:52,554 > 00:12:57,428 Titus, that meeting couldn't have gone any better.

278 00:12:57,472 > 00:12:59,648 You had the board eating right out of your hands.

279 00:12:59,691 > 00:13:01,606 They seem like a good group, Mr. Purifoy.

280 00:13:01,650 > 00:13:04,696 Now, I hope we've impressed on you how important it is

281 00:13:04,740 > 00:13:06,916 that we stop this class action lawsuit.

282 00:13:06,960 > 00:13:07,961 Yes, sir.

283 00:13:08,004 > 00:13:09,179 Stephen Carlisle has been out

284 00:13:09,223 > 00:13:11,529 to destroy my business for decades.

285 00:13:11,573 > 00:13:14,445 Now his bitch of a daughter's taken up the charge.

286 00:13:14,489 > 00:13:18,406 Now, they act like we're dope dealers peddling smack.

287 00:13:18,449 > 00:13:20,451 Purifoy Pharmaceuticals manufactures

288 00:13:20,495 > 00:13:23,237 an FDA approved pain medication for God's sake.

289 00:13:23,280 > 00:13:26,544 We make Limodol to help people, not hurt 'em.

290 00:13:26,588 > 00:13:29,852 Don't worry, sir, I plan to mount a vigorous defense.

291 00:13:29,896 > 00:13:31,941 [sighs] You know, I got a good mind to skip

292 00:13:31,985 > 00:13:35,205 that selfserving, Carlisle ego fest of a gala this year.

293 00:13:35,249 > 00:13:37,207 Mr. Purifoy, it'll be a PR nightmare

294 00:13:37,251 > 00:13:40,167 if you don't make an appearance with this lawsuit looming.

295 00:13:40,210 > 00:13:41,951 I think you and your family should go.

296 00:13:41,995 > 00:13:43,387 Donate some money.

297 00:13:43,431 > 00:13:45,476 Show the people of Atlanta that the Purifoys

298 00:13:45,520 > 00:13:48,566 are heartbroken over this opioid epidemic.

299 00:13:48,610 > 00:13:50,220 [chuckles]

300 00:13:50,264 > 00:13:52,701 See, I knew I made the right decision when I lured

301 00:13:52,744 > 00:13:55,225 you away from solo practice and into the big leagues.

302 00:13:55,269 > 00:13:56,879 Nothing against Birmingham,

303 00:13:56,923 > 00:14:00,448 but you belong in a major city like Atlanta.

304 00:14:00,491 > 00:14:03,886 A young brother like you's gonna go far in a city like this.

305 00:14:03,930 > 00:14:05,757 A young brother? Damn straight.

306 00:14:05,801 > 00:14:07,237 Especially with my backing.

307 00:14:07,281 > 00:14:10,893 I mean, it's no secret Atlanta is a black city, Titus.

308 00:14:10,937 > 00:14:12,852 I mean, an ol' cracker like me can only reach

309 00:14:12,895 > 00:14:16,029 a certain level of prominence, even with all my money.

310 00:14:16,072 > 00:14:19,162 But you and me together... [laughs]

311 00:14:19,206 > 00:14:21,425 ...we're gonna be unstoppable.

312 00:14:21,469 > 00:14:25,429 In fact, I want you and your wife at my table.

313 00:14:25,473 > 00:14:26,648 Of course, sir.

314 00:14:28,606 > 00:14:30,086 Well, I better get ready for my next meeting.

315 00:14:30,130 > 00:14:31,305 You do that.

316 00:14:34,177 > 00:14:35,918 You watch out for her.

317 00:14:35,962 > 00:14:37,702 She's as wicked as a rattlesnake.

318 00:14:42,533 > 00:14:44,144 Hi, how are you? Hi.

319 00:14:44,187 > 00:14:46,276 Hi, good morning. Hi.

320 00:14:46,320 > 00:14:47,756 [indistinct chatter]

321 00:14:47,799 > 00:14:49,584 Good morning.

322 00:14:49,627 > 00:14:52,935 I hope the Purifoys sent someone competent.

323 00:14:52,979 > 00:14:54,241 You tell me.

324 00:14:57,374 > 00:14:59,986 Titus Hughes.

325 00:15:00,029 > 00:15:01,117 Good morning, counselor.

326 00:15:04,077 > 00:15:05,817 What are you doing here?

327 00:15:05,861 > 00:15:07,210 Admiring the view.

328 00:15:07,254 > 00:15:08,559 I seem to recall you

329 00:15:08,603 > 00:15:12,955 being easily distracted by other views.

330 00:15:12,999 > 00:15:14,174 How is Amara?

331 00:15:14,217 > 00:15:15,088 She's well.

332 00:15:15,131 > 00:15:16,524 Thank you for asking.

333 00:15:16,567 > 00:15:18,352 It looks like she's taking good care of you.

334 00:15:18,395 > 00:15:19,962 Can I take that as a compliment?

335 00:15:20,006 > 00:15:21,485 More of an observation,

336 00:15:21,529 > 00:15:22,834 but you can take it however you like.

337 00:15:24,924 > 00:15:27,187 You always said you'd run this place one day.

338 00:15:27,230 > 00:15:28,971 And you always said you'd dedicate your life

339 00:15:29,015 > 00:15:31,191 to fighting for the less fortunate.

340 00:15:31,234 > 00:15:34,324 Now here you are in my conference room

341 00:15:34,368 > 00:15:37,849 all set to defend a soulless corporation.

342 00:15:37,893 > 00:15:39,851 What can I say? People change.

343 00:15:39,895 > 00:15:41,288 Not all people.

344 00:15:43,333 > 00:15:45,988 You look good, Stephanie.

345 00:15:46,032 > 00:15:48,860 You do understand that flattery

346 00:15:48,904 > 00:15:51,863 won't make me go any easier on you in court?

347 00:15:51,907 > 00:15:55,737 [chuckles] Well, before we go all John Grisham on one another,

348 00:15:55,780 > 00:15:59,132 you think an old friend can get a hug?

349 00:15:59,175 > 00:16:02,483 Titus, you and I were a lot of things to one another

350 00:16:02,526 > 00:16:05,442 lovers, competitors,

351 00:16:05,486 > 00:16:06,791 enemies...

352 00:16:08,706 > 00:16:10,317 but never quite friends.

353 00:16:10,360 > 00:16:13,015 I guess that was the problem, huh?

354 00:16:13,059 > 00:16:14,538 You tell me.

355 00:16:14,582 > 00:16:20,544

356 00:16:20,588 > 00:16:22,068 I must admit, there's still something about you

357 00:16:22,111 > 00:16:23,460 after all these years.

358 00:16:23,504 > 00:16:25,897

359 00:16:25,941 > 00:16:28,291 However...

360 00:16:28,335 > 00:16:30,032 I wanna be clear.

361 00:16:30,076 > 00:16:34,776 I plan to dismantle Purifoy Pharmaceuticals

362 00:16:34,819 > 00:16:38,388 brick by brick.

363 00:16:38,432 > 00:16:41,043 Give me your best, Stephanie Carlisle.

364 00:16:41,087 > 00:16:43,915 It's Lancaster now.

365 00:16:43,959 > 00:16:47,049 And it's my worst that should concern you.

366 00:16:47,093 > 00:16:54,056

367 00:16:58,887 > 00:17:04,806

368 00:17:09,376 > 00:17:15,338

369 00:17:26,480 > 00:17:28,090 Alright, hold on, I'll be back.

370 00:17:28,134 > 00:17:33,791

371 00:17:33,835 > 00:17:36,098 [chuckles] What was so urgent

372 00:17:36,142 > 00:17:39,058 you had to see me today, Lancaster?

373 00:17:39,101 > 00:17:41,538 I heard about the visits you've been paying my sister.

374 00:17:41,582 > 00:17:42,539 I want you to stop.

375 00:17:44,411 > 00:17:46,761 The thing about familythey can either

376 00:17:46,804 > 00:17:49,503 propel us to greatness, or they can be our Achilles heel.

377 00:17:49,546 > 00:17:51,635 Spare me the Greek philosophy, Peters.

378 00:17:51,679 > 00:17:53,115 Leave Rondell out of this.

379 00:17:53,159 > 00:17:54,856 I'm not sure you comprehend what's at stake here.

380 00:17:54,899 > 00:17:56,336 I need that entire block in The Banks

381 00:17:56,379 > 00:17:57,554 to make this development work.

382 00:17:57,598 > 00:18:00,079 And you need me to remain in your corner

383 00:18:00,122 > 00:18:01,776 if you ever wanna make your dream of becoming

384 00:18:01,819 > 00:18:05,562 the first black governor of Georgia a reality.

385 00:18:05,606 > 00:18:07,390 Relax, Peters.

386 00:18:07,434 > 00:18:09,262 There's no reason we can't all get what we want.

387 00:18:09,305 > 00:18:10,915 Here's the difference between you and me, Lancaster.

388 00:18:10,959 > 00:18:12,265 You're a patient man.

389 00:18:12,308 > 00:18:13,353 I'm not.

390 00:18:13,396 > 00:18:14,571 I'll handle my sister.

391 00:18:14,615 > 00:18:16,051 I know one of us better.

392 00:18:18,967 > 00:18:21,100 See you at your family's gala.

393 00:18:21,143 > 00:18:24,015 You know how much I love giving back to the community.

394 00:18:24,059 > 00:18:27,802

395 00:18:27,845 > 00:18:30,979 [siren wails]

396 00:18:31,022 > 00:18:35,592 [indistinct chatter]

397 00:18:35,636 > 00:18:37,812 STEPHANIE: You understand I must look perfect?

398 00:18:37,855 > 00:18:39,944 Trust me, Stephanie, you are going to be

399 00:18:39,988 > 00:18:42,425 the most beautiful woman in the room.

400 00:18:42,469 > 00:18:45,124 Mayor Lancaster won't be able take his eyes off you.

401 00:18:47,300 > 00:18:48,605 Did I say something wrong?

402 00:18:48,649 > 00:18:50,868 This isn't about him, Bella.

403 00:18:50,912 > 00:18:53,741 It's about honoring the memory of my sister.

404 00:18:53,784 > 00:18:55,612 Besides, when you've been married

405 00:18:55,656 > 00:19:00,617 as long as Evan and I have, you don't expect to be noticed.

406 00:19:00,661 > 00:19:02,445 What about your love life?

407 00:19:02,489 > 00:19:04,186 Who are you bringing to the gala?

408 00:19:04,230 > 00:19:06,667 I'm taking Roderick.

409 00:19:06,710 > 00:19:08,147 Ah, things are getting serious?

410 00:19:08,190 > 00:19:09,539 Well, I don't know about that,

411 00:19:09,583 > 00:19:11,759 but he definitely comes in handy.

412 00:19:11,802 > 00:19:13,195 A handyman, huh?

413 00:19:13,239 > 00:19:14,936 And he's good with more than just his hands.

414 00:19:14,979 > 00:19:16,372 BOTH: [laughing]

415 00:19:16,416 > 00:19:18,418 Enjoy it.

416 00:19:18,461 > 00:19:21,072 Relationships have a way becoming complicated

417 00:19:21,116 > 00:19:23,074 very quickly.

418 00:19:23,118 > 00:19:25,903 One second you're having the best sex of your life,

419 00:19:25,947 > 00:19:28,123 and the next, you want to kill him.

420 00:19:28,167 > 00:19:29,255 BOTH: [laughs]

421 00:19:29,298 > 00:19:30,865 Have as much fun as you can

422 00:19:30,908 > 00:19:34,173 while you're young, beautiful, and free.

423 00:19:34,216 > 00:19:36,871 I intend to do just that.

424 00:19:36,914 > 00:19:38,568 [glass clicks] [laughs]

425 00:19:40,570 > 00:19:43,138 And of course, Purifoy's last general counsel let a ton

426 00:19:43,182 > 00:19:45,749 of work pile up once he found out Hunter was gonna can him.

427 00:19:45,793 > 00:19:48,143 Mm, sounds like fun for you.

428 00:19:48,187 > 00:19:50,711 Yeah, you know, trial by fire.

429 00:19:50,754 > 00:19:52,234 I spoke to Deja.

430 00:19:52,278 > 00:19:54,715 Oh yeah? Yeah.

431 00:19:54,758 > 00:19:57,935 She's still salty with us for enrolling her in Excalibur.

432 00:19:57,979 > 00:19:59,676 Well, maybe we made a mistake.

433 00:19:59,720 > 00:20:01,069 Kid wants to be here with us,

434 00:20:01,112 > 00:20:02,766 not at some stuffy boarding school.

435 00:20:02,810 > 00:20:05,204 I know, Titus, but Excalibur is one of the best

436 00:20:05,247 > 00:20:07,075 private academies in the country.

437 00:20:07,118 > 00:20:10,948 I mean, what they're doing with STEM education is cutting edge.

438 00:20:10,992 > 00:20:15,301 We agreed that this is what's best for Deja right now.

439 00:20:15,344 > 00:20:17,259 I know, but there are perfectly good schools

440 00:20:17,303 > 00:20:19,566 here in Atlanta.

441 00:20:19,609 > 00:20:22,917 You know, I don't like being away from her either.

442 00:20:22,960 > 00:20:26,573 You know, maybe once we get settled, and out of these boxes,

443 00:20:26,616 > 00:20:29,576 we can revisit this conversation.

444 00:20:29,619 > 00:20:32,100 But in the meantime, this time is supposed to be about us

445 00:20:32,143 > 00:20:34,885 acclimating and reconnecting.

446 00:20:38,454 > 00:20:43,067 Can we, umcan we skip the gala tonight, stay home?

447 00:20:43,111 > 00:20:44,808 You know we can't do that.

448 00:20:44,852 > 00:20:46,332 Hunter personally asked me to attend.

449 00:20:48,203 > 00:20:50,118 Well, aren't you in the least bit anxious about being

450 00:20:50,161 > 00:20:51,728 in the same room with Stephanie?

451 00:20:51,772 > 00:20:53,164 I mean, we haven't done that since

452 00:20:53,208 > 00:20:56,690 Since you and me got together. Yeah.

453 00:20:56,733 > 00:20:59,301 I was gonna say since college, but, yeah, that too.

454 00:20:59,345 > 00:21:01,042 It's a work thing. It'll be fine.

455 00:21:02,609 > 00:21:03,740 You're probably right.

456 00:21:03,784 > 00:21:06,265 I mean, we haven't seen her in forever.

457 00:21:06,308 > 00:21:07,527 Yeah, forever.

458 00:21:08,963 > 00:21:10,181 So let's just not worry about it.

459 00:21:11,966 > 00:21:15,012 Titus, you haven't even finished your lunch.

460 00:21:15,056 > 00:21:17,493 I gotta run.

461 00:21:17,537 > 00:21:23,456

462 00:21:30,506 > 00:21:34,423

463 00:21:34,467 > 00:21:39,472 [moaning]

464 00:21:39,515 > 00:21:40,821 TITUS: Can I help you with that?

465 00:21:44,128 > 00:21:45,391 What took you so long?

466 00:21:47,175 > 00:21:49,743 Got here as soon as I could.

467 00:21:49,786 > 00:21:52,006 Take care of me

468 00:21:52,049 > 00:21:54,487

470 00:21:58,055 > 00:22:02,146

471 00:22:02,190 > 00:22:04,366 Stimulate me

472 00:22:04,410 > 00:22:07,021

473 00:22:07,064 > 00:22:10,720 I want you mental and physically

474 00:22:10,764 > 00:22:13,419

493 00:23:11,128 > 00:23:13,522 Push it to the limit with these bright lights

494 00:23:13,566 > 00:23:14,871 I don't care

495 00:23:14,915 > 00:23:16,569 [cameras flashing]

502 00:23:29,886 > 00:23:31,105 chooses a cause.

503 00:23:31,148 > 00:23:33,934 This year, you've chosen the opioid epidemic.

504 00:23:33,977 > 00:23:35,544 That's right, Necole.

505 00:23:35,588 > 00:23:39,505 My youngest sister Tracy died a year ago from an overdose.

506 00:23:39,548 > 00:23:41,681 My family, like so many others in Atlanta

507 00:23:41,724 > 00:23:43,117 and throughout the country,

509 00:23:45,162 > 00:23:46,773 So, tonight's for them.

510 00:23:46,816 > 00:23:48,731 I couldn't think of a more worthy cause.

511 00:23:48,775 > 00:23:51,038 Now, before I let you go, you look stunning.

512 00:23:51,081 > 00:23:51,952 Thank you.

514 00:23:53,257 > 00:23:56,565 I am wearing a Bella Tru Original.

515 00:23:56,609 > 00:23:59,873 Speaking of the rising fashionista, here she is,

516 00:23:59,916 > 00:24:01,440 Bella Tru, and her man,

522 00:24:11,362 > 00:24:13,495 But we can thank Bella.

523 00:24:13,539 > 00:24:15,149 She's a true miracle worker.

524 00:24:15,192 > 00:24:17,151 You give me way too much credit. [laughs]

525 00:24:17,194 > 00:24:18,282 Sweetheart, we should get inside.

526 00:24:18,326 > 00:24:19,849 Of course, darling.

527 00:24:19,893 > 00:24:21,895 Well, here's hoping that we all have a night to remember!

528 00:24:21,938 > 00:24:24,201 Yes.

529 00:24:24,245 > 00:24:28,815 [slow jazz music playing]

530 00:24:28,858 > 00:24:33,384

531 00:24:33,428 > 00:24:37,954 [indistinct chatter]

537 00:24:50,184 > 00:24:51,838 [sighs]

542 00:24:58,584 > 00:25:02,501

544 00:25:03,850 > 00:25:05,286 Titus, my man!

545 00:25:05,329 > 00:25:07,114 Glad you made it. Thank you.

546 00:25:07,157 > 00:25:08,768 Wow. And this must be

547 00:25:08,811 > 00:25:11,988 the whipsmart Amara I've heard so much about.

548 00:25:12,032 > 00:25:13,947 It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Purifoy.

549 00:25:13,990 > 00:25:16,906 [chuckles] Mr. Purifoy was my daddy.

550 00:25:16,950 > 00:25:19,126 Please, call me Hunter.

551 00:25:19,169 > 00:25:21,302

552 00:25:21,345 > 00:25:22,999 Hunter it is.

553 00:25:23,043 > 00:25:25,349 Sweetheart, aren't you going to introduce us?

554 00:25:25,393 > 00:25:26,612 Of course, dear.

555 00:25:26,655 > 00:25:28,352 Titus and Amara Hughes,

556 00:25:28,396 > 00:25:30,616 I'd like you to meet my beautiful wife, Juniper.

557 00:25:30,659 > 00:25:32,008 This is my daughter, Lori.

558 00:25:33,575 > 00:25:35,882 Hi. So nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

559 00:25:35,925 > 00:25:37,797 Titus, Lori works with us at Purifoy.

560 00:25:37,840 > 00:25:39,407 She oversees our PR department.

561 00:25:39,450 > 00:25:41,235 So, you'll be seeing a lot of each other.

562 00:25:41,278 > 00:25:42,932 You're behind the company's latest marketing campaign?

563 00:25:42,976 > 00:25:44,543 I am.

564 00:25:44,586 > 00:25:45,892 Isn't it fantastic?

565 00:25:48,068 > 00:25:49,809 Excuse me, Daddy, I'm gonna step out for a moment.

566 00:25:49,852 > 00:25:51,288 It was very nice meeting you both.

567 00:25:51,332 > 00:25:53,290 You, too. HUNTER: No problem, angel.

568 00:25:53,334 > 00:25:55,118 Amara, Hunter tells me you work

569 00:25:55,162 > 00:25:56,685 for the U.S. Attorney's Office.

570 00:25:56,729 > 00:25:58,818 I was actually in the Northern District of Birmingham

571 00:25:58,861 > 00:26:01,081 for seven years, and then I transferred to Atlanta

572 00:26:01,124 > 00:26:04,606 once Titus accepted the position at Purifoy.

573 00:26:04,650 > 00:26:06,347 Are you from Alabama originally?

574 00:26:06,390 > 00:26:08,828 No, actually born and raised in Houston.

575 00:26:08,871 > 00:26:10,481 Yeah, South Side.

576 00:26:10,525 > 00:26:12,832 I think it's absolutely wonderful how you've managed

577 00:26:12,875 > 00:26:14,964 to pull yourself up by the bootstraps.

578 00:26:15,008 > 00:26:18,402 This country needs more of that to bring it back to greatness.

579 00:26:18,446 > 00:26:21,405 I'm sure your folks back in Texas are proud.

580 00:26:21,449 > 00:26:23,016 Extremely.

581 00:26:23,059 > 00:26:26,019 If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna shuffle off to the bar.

582 00:26:26,062 > 00:26:27,803 Take your time.

583 00:26:27,847 > 00:26:30,371 We'll get better acquainted with Titus here.

584 00:26:30,414 > 00:26:32,634 Oh, yeah.

585 00:26:32,678 > 00:26:35,942 [laughs] Look who's moonlighting.

586 00:26:35,985 > 00:26:38,727 I guess they let anybody up in The Ducksworth Hotel, huh?

587 00:26:38,771 > 00:26:40,860 What have we got here? Get your hands off.

588 00:26:48,345 > 00:26:49,172 Ugh.

589 00:26:50,957 > 00:26:53,002 Could use a little more sauce. Get the hell away

590 00:26:53,046 > 00:26:55,570 from my stand before I forget my hometraining.

591 00:26:55,614 > 00:26:57,137 Everything okay, Sis?

592 00:26:57,180 > 00:26:58,660 Nothing I can't handle.

593 00:26:58,704 > 00:27:01,271 Mayor Lancaster! How's it going?

594 00:27:01,315 > 00:27:02,708 Are you enjoying your evening?

595 00:27:02,751 > 00:27:04,666 I always enjoy seeing my two favorite Lancasters.

596 00:27:04,710 > 00:27:05,928 We should hang out more.

597 00:27:05,972 > 00:27:08,496 Kiss the crack of my black ass, Peters.

598 00:27:10,150 > 00:27:11,934 That could be arranged.

599 00:27:11,978 > 00:27:14,850 Mm, nothing like family.

600 00:27:14,894 > 00:27:16,417 Man, am I going to miss having her around.

601 00:27:19,507 > 00:27:20,726 What the hell's that supposed to mean?

602 00:27:34,304 > 00:27:39,701 Well, the golden Lancaster princess herself.

603 00:27:39,745 > 00:27:41,181 Finally we meet.

604 00:27:41,224 > 00:27:42,922 You're the last person I expected to see

605 00:27:42,965 > 00:27:44,488 at one of my family's events.

606 00:27:44,532 > 00:27:46,621 Yeah, well, that makes two of us.

607 00:27:46,665 > 00:27:49,319 Let me guess, your parents thought attending a fundraiser

608 00:27:49,363 > 00:27:51,234 fighting Atlanta's opioid crisis

609 00:27:51,278 > 00:27:52,801 would make them look less guilty?

610 00:27:52,845 > 00:27:55,499 Wow. If I didn't know any better,

611 00:27:55,543 > 00:27:58,372 I'd say it was your mom standing here in front of me.

612 00:27:58,415 > 00:28:00,156 My mother is doing her job by going

613 00:28:00,200 > 00:28:02,028 after Purifoy Pharmaceuticals.

614 00:28:02,071 > 00:28:04,726 Your family's job is to sit around figuring out

615 00:28:04,770 > 00:28:08,121 how to make a profit off unsubstantiated lawsuits,

616 00:28:08,164 > 00:28:11,428 while my family produces safe and effective medications

617 00:28:11,472 > 00:28:14,127 that help people who are suffering.

618 00:28:14,170 > 00:28:16,695 Spoken like a true Purifoy.

619 00:28:16,738 > 00:28:20,873 And just what would you know about truth?

620 00:28:20,916 > 00:28:24,050 Excuse me? Come on.

621 00:28:24,093 > 00:28:27,227 Tell me, have you come out to Mommy and Daddy yet?

622 00:28:29,533 > 00:28:30,796 I don't know what you're talking about.

623 00:28:32,580 > 00:28:34,451 Give that back!

624 00:28:34,495 > 00:28:37,150 What are you doing?

625 00:28:37,193 > 00:28:40,022 Now you have my number for when you want to have

626 00:28:40,066 > 00:28:42,808 a deeper conversation about living one's truth.

627 00:28:42,851 > 00:28:48,770

628 00:28:50,816 > 00:28:56,473

629 00:28:56,517 > 00:28:57,736 Have a good night.

630 00:28:57,779 > 00:29:02,566

631 00:29:02,610 > 00:29:04,699 AMARA: Oh my goodness, this is so delicious!

632 00:29:04,743 > 00:29:06,701 It reminds me of my Big Mama's food back in Texas.

633 00:29:06,745 > 00:29:08,529 Mmhmm. That means yo' Big Mama

634 00:29:08,572 > 00:29:10,009 know how to throw down in that kitchen!

635 00:29:10,052 > 00:29:12,751 Mm, well, you already know. [laughs]

636 00:29:12,794 > 00:29:14,665 Hi, Amara Hughes.

637 00:29:14,709 > 00:29:16,798 Rondell Lancaster. Nice to meet you.

638 00:29:16,842 > 00:29:19,670 Nice to meetwait a minute, Lancaster?

639 00:29:19,714 > 00:29:21,107 Any relation to the mayor?

640 00:29:21,150 > 00:29:23,413 Child, yeah, he's my brother.

641 00:29:23,457 > 00:29:25,024 Ooh.

642 00:29:25,067 > 00:29:27,461 So, if Evan is your brother, that would make Stephanie

643 00:29:27,504 > 00:29:29,898 A pain in my ass, okay?

644 00:29:29,942 > 00:29:31,508 STEPHANIE: Well, well, well.

645 00:29:34,511 > 00:29:37,645 If it isn't Amara Hughes.

646 00:29:45,740 > 00:29:46,785 You look beautiful.

647 00:29:48,482 > 00:29:49,962 It's been a minute, soror.

648 00:29:50,005 > 00:29:51,311 Soror?

649 00:29:51,354 > 00:29:54,183 I pledged Amara to my sorority at Spelman.

650 00:29:54,227 > 00:29:57,447 Big Sis taught Little Sis everything she knows.

651 00:29:57,491 > 00:29:58,884 Right, Amara?

652 00:29:58,927 > 00:30:01,538 We shared practically everything.

653 00:30:01,582 > 00:30:03,062 We had some good times.

654 00:30:03,105 > 00:30:04,498 And some bad ones, as I recall.

655 00:30:06,805 > 00:30:08,850 I see you met my nosy sisterinlaw.

656 00:30:08,894 > 00:30:10,112 Who you callin' nosy?

657 00:30:12,680 > 00:30:15,422 And now the reunion is complete.

658 00:30:17,076 > 00:30:18,773 Hey, Steph.

659 00:30:18,817 > 00:30:23,517 Titus Hughes, it seems like only yesterday I last saw you.

660 00:30:23,560 > 00:30:26,389 Oh wait, it was yesterday.

661 00:30:28,870 > 00:30:29,958 You saw each other yesterday?

662 00:30:30,002 > 00:30:31,394 Girl, relax.

663 00:30:31,438 > 00:30:34,963 I meant I saw the Atlanta Business Chronicle article

664 00:30:35,007 > 00:30:38,880 on Purifoy's latest hire yesterday.

665 00:30:38,924 > 00:30:41,274 It looks like your husband and I will be facing off in court.

666 00:30:41,317 > 00:30:42,623 Is this a private party or what?

667 00:30:44,538 > 00:30:47,976 Darling, let me introduce you to two dear old friends

668 00:30:48,020 > 00:30:51,197 from college Titus and Amara Hughes.

669 00:30:51,240 > 00:30:53,590 Titus, Amara, meet my husband,

670 00:30:53,634 > 00:30:55,375 Mayor Evan Lancaster.

672 00:30:59,031 > 00:31:00,162 Nice to meet you, Evan.

673 00:31:00,206 > 00:31:02,034 I prefer Mayor Lancaster.

674 00:31:02,077 > 00:31:03,905 Titus Hughesas in old college boyfriend?

675 00:31:03,949 > 00:31:05,776 It was another lifetime, sweetheart.

676 00:31:05,820 > 00:31:08,170 Well, old boyfriend, I'm the new husband.

677 00:31:08,214 > 00:31:09,476 Welcome to my city.

678 00:31:12,392 > 00:31:13,262 Amara.

679 00:31:13,306 > 00:31:14,437 Mm.

680 00:31:14,481 > 00:31:15,569 EVAN: Darling.

681 00:31:15,612 > 00:31:20,966 [indistinct chatter]

682 00:31:24,273 > 00:31:27,624 [indistinct chatter]

683 00:31:27,668 > 00:31:30,323 [laughing]

684 00:31:30,366 > 00:31:36,111

685 00:31:39,941 > 00:31:45,904

686 00:31:49,951 > 00:31:55,826

687 00:31:55,870 > 00:31:56,958 Mother, it's time.

688 00:31:57,002 > 00:31:58,394 MALE ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen,

689 00:31:58,438 > 00:32:01,136 the woman of the hour, Miss Irene Perkins Carlisle.

694 00:32:21,896 > 00:32:25,552 towards battling opioid addiction in the city!

695 00:32:25,595 > 00:32:28,033 I know both my father

696 00:32:28,076 > 00:32:32,211 and our beautiful daughter, Tracy,

697 00:32:32,254 > 00:32:34,822 are smiling down.

699 00:32:37,738 > 00:32:40,001 couldn't be here this evening.

700 00:32:40,045 > 00:32:44,963 But I am proud to have my husband, Steven,

701 00:32:45,006 > 00:32:47,966 our brilliant daughter, Stephanie,

706 00:33:02,763 > 00:33:05,418 And we will see you next year.

707 00:33:05,461 > 00:33:06,375 HUNTER: That's it!

708 00:33:06,419 > 00:33:08,769 I just can't take any more!

709 00:33:08,812 > 00:33:12,164 If I may just add one final thought.

710 00:33:12,207 > 00:33:13,426 IRENE: Please do.

711 00:33:19,693 > 00:33:21,260 Irene Carlisle, you are the pillar

712 00:33:21,303 > 00:33:23,479 of strength and inspiration.

713 00:33:23,523 > 00:33:27,744 I humbly ask you to accept this donation, Irene,

714 00:33:27,788 > 00:33:30,704 so that together we can stop this addiction

715 00:33:30,747 > 00:33:33,837 that has our loved ones in this...

716 00:33:33,881 > 00:33:35,926 horrible bondage,

717 00:33:35,970 > 00:33:38,929 destroying families and communities.

718 00:33:41,323 > 00:33:44,500 With this check, the Purifoy family

719 00:33:44,544 > 00:33:48,200 matches the $500,000 raised tonight!

720 00:33:48,243 > 00:33:49,418 CROWD: [indistinct whispers]

721 00:33:49,462 > 00:33:50,811 And that brings the amount raised

722 00:33:50,854 > 00:33:53,640 by the Samuel Perkins Foundation this evening,

723 00:33:53,683 > 00:33:57,078 ladies and gentlemen, to one million dollars.

724 00:33:57,122 > 00:33:58,819 I'm gonna show this son of a bitch

725 00:33:58,862 > 00:34:00,299 just where he can cash his check.

726 00:34:00,342 > 00:34:06,261 [applause]

727 00:34:12,746 > 00:34:17,881 [applause continues]

728 00:34:24,584 > 00:34:26,716 Good night.

729 00:34:26,760 > 00:34:29,197 Good night, sweetie, I'll see you at home.

730 00:34:29,241 > 00:34:31,417 See you at the office.

731 00:34:31,460 > 00:34:32,635 Mayor.

732 00:34:33,767 > 00:34:35,856 Mayor, First Lady Lancaster,

733 00:34:35,899 > 00:34:38,163 thank you and your family for such a great evening.

734 00:34:38,206 > 00:34:40,078 You're welcome, Roderick. I hope you both had fun.

735 00:34:40,121 > 00:34:43,168 We did, and for such a worthy cause.

736 00:34:43,211 > 00:34:44,473 You ready to get out of here?

737 00:34:44,517 > 00:34:46,214 Absolutely. Yeah?

738 00:34:46,258 > 00:34:52,916

739 00:34:52,960 > 00:34:54,962 Mr. Mayor, Stephanie

740 00:34:55,005 > 00:34:56,790 Leaving so soon? Afraid so.

741 00:34:56,833 > 00:34:58,574 It was a lovely event, thank you.

742 00:34:58,618 > 00:35:02,100 Was Purifoy's donation your idea?

743 00:35:02,143 > 00:35:03,536 Actually, it was, yeah.

744 00:35:03,579 > 00:35:05,929 And what about doing it when it would completely

745 00:35:05,973 > 00:35:07,627 upstage my mother?

746 00:35:07,670 > 00:35:09,150 Of course not.

747 00:35:09,194 > 00:35:11,109 I hoped he would simply mail a check to the foundation.

748 00:35:11,152 > 00:35:12,632 Come on, Steph.

749 00:35:12,675 > 00:35:14,721 You know Titus would never suggest something like that.

750 00:35:14,764 > 00:35:18,203 I once thought I knew what Titus was capable of.

751 00:35:18,246 > 00:35:20,074 Obviously, I was wrong.

752 00:35:20,118 > 00:35:22,990 You can tell your client it won't work.

753 00:35:23,033 > 00:35:27,125 A half million dollars won't even cover the interest payments

754 00:35:27,168 > 00:35:31,129 on the judgment I'm going to win against the Purifoys.

755 00:35:31,172 > 00:35:33,653 Mm. I'm sorry. Am I the only one

756 00:35:33,696 > 00:35:35,872 gets turned on when my baby talks that legalese?

757 00:35:38,048 > 00:35:39,876 I think it's time we call it a night.

758 00:35:39,920 > 00:35:42,227 Yeah, nightnight. Come on, babe.

759 00:35:51,584 > 00:35:53,238 I'm tired of talking about this!

760 00:35:53,281 > 00:35:55,153 I told you, we're opposing counsels.

761 00:35:55,196 > 00:35:57,111 We're gonna see one another. It wasn't a big deal.

762 00:35:57,155 > 00:35:59,635 So, if it wasn't a big deal, then why did you lie about

763 00:35:59,679 > 00:36:01,637 when the time it was you saw her?

764 00:36:01,681 > 00:36:04,162 I didn't lie. I just didn't tell you about it.

765 00:36:05,902 > 00:36:11,821 [crying]

766 00:36:14,694 > 00:36:16,609 Never should have told you I was pregnant.

767 00:36:16,652 > 00:36:19,307 Amara. No.

768 00:36:19,351 > 00:36:21,788 Titus, that is the reason that you married me.

769 00:36:23,746 > 00:36:27,837 And when I lost the baby, you should have just...

770 00:36:27,881 > 00:36:29,883 gone back to Stephanie. I didn't want Stephanie!

771 00:36:29,926 > 00:36:31,624 I wanted you!

772 00:36:31,667 > 00:36:33,974 What a better way to get back at me for Damian

773 00:36:34,017 > 00:36:36,585 than for you to take up with Stephanie again?

774 00:36:36,629 > 00:36:39,414 See, that's your problem, Amara.

775 00:36:39,458 > 00:36:41,590 You keep projecting your bullshit on me.

776 00:36:44,114 > 00:36:45,812 I'm not the one who cheated.

777 00:36:45,855 > 00:36:51,687

778 00:36:59,478 > 00:37:01,480 [sighs]

779 00:37:01,523 > 00:37:02,524 [sniffs]

780 00:37:02,568 > 00:37:06,136 [phone ringing]

781 00:37:06,180 > 00:37:08,704 Hello.

782 00:37:08,748 > 00:37:11,751 Yeah, Karen. Hi, it's Amara.

783 00:37:11,794 > 00:37:13,535 Hey, I know it's late, I'm sorry.

784 00:37:13,579 > 00:37:16,538 I just, umI've been thinking about the case.

785 00:37:16,582 > 00:37:19,541 And I changed my mind.

786 00:37:19,585 > 00:37:21,630 I'm the perfect woman for the job.

787 00:37:27,375 > 00:37:29,464 I'd say the evening went well, wouldn't you?

788 00:37:29,508 > 00:37:32,641 The show's over, Evan. No need to make small talk.

789 00:37:32,685 > 00:37:36,950 Forgive me for thinking we could be civil for a change.

790 00:37:36,993 > 00:37:38,343 I guess you're saving your sweet side

791 00:37:38,386 > 00:37:40,910 for Titus Hughes.

792 00:37:40,954 > 00:37:44,131 Had to hurt... when he dismissed you

793 00:37:44,174 > 00:37:46,568 for your home girl back in college.

794 00:37:46,612 > 00:37:48,831 Did you convince that idiot sister of yours

795 00:37:48,875 > 00:37:50,224 to sell the restaurant?

796 00:37:50,268 > 00:37:53,096 Don't talk about Rondell.

797 00:37:53,140 > 00:37:56,578 Greg Peters is one of my father's most important clients,

798 00:37:56,622 > 00:37:58,363 and he's growing antsy.

799 00:37:58,406 > 00:38:00,539 I can't have that.

800 00:38:00,582 > 00:38:02,497 Daddy's little princess,

801 00:38:02,541 > 00:38:05,195 always so eager to do his bidding.

802 00:38:05,239 > 00:38:06,936 Have you ever considered your real problem with men

803 00:38:06,980 > 00:38:08,590 is that you're so damn in love with your father?

804 00:38:08,634 > 00:38:10,113 [slap]

805 00:38:10,157 > 00:38:13,508 [laughs] There's the bitch we all know and love!

806 00:38:13,552 > 00:38:14,944 The English Rose development

807 00:38:14,988 > 00:38:17,860 is going to make us all a lot of money.

808 00:38:17,904 > 00:38:22,604 And I won't let Rondell's hoodrat ass mess that up.

809 00:38:22,648 > 00:38:24,737 So, either you convince her to sell,

810 00:38:24,780 > 00:38:26,304 or I'm gonna have to step in.

811 00:38:28,436 > 00:38:32,353 What are you gonna do, Stephanie?

812 00:38:32,397 > 00:38:33,920 Wait, don't answer that.

813 00:38:33,963 > 00:38:36,531 Because I know exactly what you'll do.

814 00:38:36,575 > 00:38:37,706 You'll threaten.

815 00:38:37,750 > 00:38:38,881 You'll pout.

816 00:38:38,925 > 00:38:40,970 You'll rage.

817 00:38:41,014 > 00:38:42,407 Then you'll go to Daddy like the incompetent

818 00:38:42,450 > 00:38:44,452 little nothing that you are.

819 00:38:47,455 > 00:38:49,979 It's no wonder he won't hand over the firm to you.

820 00:38:50,023 > 00:38:53,331 You are so pathetic and predictable.

821 00:38:53,374 > 00:38:56,072 Maybe if you weren't always kissing up to Stephen,

822 00:38:56,116 > 00:38:58,248 you'd have noticed your kid sister was turning into a junkie

823 00:38:58,292 > 00:38:59,598 before it was too late.

824 00:39:02,165 > 00:39:03,689 [gun cocks]

825 00:39:05,995 > 00:39:09,129 What am I going to do now, Evan?

826 00:39:09,172 > 00:39:10,913 Put the gun down, Steph.

827 00:39:10,957 > 00:39:13,525 I'm predictable, right?

828 00:39:13,568 > 00:39:18,399 What's predictable, pathetic Stephanie going to do

829 00:39:18,443 > 00:39:21,620 with this loaded gun?

830 00:39:23,578 > 00:39:25,798 You're not gonna kill the mayor of Atlanta.

831 00:39:25,841 > 00:39:27,887 Oh, you've got a lot of stock in that title.

832 00:39:30,629 > 00:39:33,501 I'll tell you this much, husband.

833 00:39:33,545 > 00:39:37,505 If I ever decide to kill you,

834 00:39:37,549 > 00:39:40,508 they'd never be able to trace it back to me.

835 00:39:40,552 > 00:39:42,902 That is, of course, if they can find enough of your remains

836 00:39:42,945 > 00:39:44,599 to even identify you.

837 00:39:44,643 > 00:39:47,646 Now if you ever...

838 00:39:47,689 > 00:39:51,171 speak to me the way that you just did...

839 00:39:55,349 > 00:39:57,569 it'll be the last words you utter.

840 00:39:57,612 > 00:40:03,531

841 00:40:07,579 > 00:40:13,541

842 00:40:23,464 > 00:40:24,770 [knocking at door]

843 00:40:24,813 > 00:40:26,859 I'm sorry, we're closed.

844 00:40:26,902 > 00:40:29,339 [bell dings] I know they see that sing.

845 00:40:29,383 > 00:40:30,558 What are you doing?

846 00:40:31,951 > 00:40:33,169 What do you want?

847 00:40:33,213 > 00:40:35,868

848 00:40:41,090 > 00:40:43,571 [water splashing]

849 00:40:43,615 > 00:40:49,534

850 00:40:58,717 > 00:41:00,719 You enjoyed yourself, flirting with that punk

851 00:41:00,762 > 00:41:04,462 in front of me all night, didn't you?

852 00:41:04,505 > 00:41:07,508 Roderick and I are both single,

853 00:41:07,552 > 00:41:10,424 redblooded human beings.

854 00:41:10,468 > 00:41:12,861 Why shouldn't we enjoy each other's company?

855 00:41:12,905 > 00:41:13,993 You're my woman.

856 00:41:16,865 > 00:41:18,345 And don't you forget it.

857 00:41:18,388 > 00:41:22,958

858 00:41:23,002 > 00:41:25,657 BELLA: [moans]

859 00:41:25,700 > 00:41:32,272

860 00:41:37,364 > 00:41:40,236 What am I gonna do with you?

861 00:41:40,280 > 00:41:42,761

862 00:41:42,804 > 00:41:46,939 BELLA: [moans]

863 00:41:46,982 > 00:41:49,724 What am I gonna do with you?

864 00:41:51,334 > 00:41:52,597 FEMALE ANNOUNCER: Next time on "Ambitions"

865 00:41:52,640 > 00:41:54,207 That man will bring you nothing but misery.

866 00:41:54,250 > 00:41:55,425 Evan loves me.

867 00:41:55,469 > 00:41:58,820 And one day soon, he's going to prove it.

868 00:41:58,864 > 00:42:00,300 Stephanie is not a factor.

869 00:42:00,343 > 00:42:02,041 I'm waiting for someone.

870 00:42:02,084 > 00:42:03,433 You went too far, old man.

871 00:42:03,477 > 00:42:05,087 You're gonna get this warning one time.

872 00:42:05,131 > 00:42:06,524 Amara Hughes.

873 00:42:06,567 > 00:42:08,569 Is a naughty, naughty girl.

874 00:42:08,613 > 00:42:11,180 Hypocritical, lying little slut.

875 00:42:11,224 > 00:42:13,095 We came to Atlanta to make a new start.

876 00:42:13,139 > 00:42:16,185 Ah! There you are.

877 00:42:16,229 > 00:42:17,709 You really want the dirt on Lancaster?

878 00:42:21,756 > 00:42:25,368

879 00:42:28,633 > 00:42:30,809
