Hey, man, sorry.

- I believe that apology should be aimed at me

since it was actually my ass you slapped.

Or did he cop a feel on you too, Miguel?

- Hey my bad, baby girl, I thought...

- I know what you thought.

You see all these women here twerking.

Obviously, they must all be begging for your attention.

- I mean...

- I mean, you're Jacob Austin, correct?

Son of philanthropist Michael Austin?

Owns half of Malibu, has a software company,

and a hand in Hollywood.

I mean, who wouldn't be dying

to have your hands all over them?

- Wait, wait, wait. How did you know...

- Because I know, little Jacob.

Wealthy, obnoxious, and clearly lacking where it counts.

You're a rape case waiting to happen.

If you ever even think about touching another woman

without her consent,

you better hope she's not one of my clients.

- Classy party, Oscar.

- Daniella Hernandez,

I'd like you to meet my newest artist...

- Lil Ag, AKA Phillip Jones.

Graduated magna cum laude

from O.D. Wyatt High School in Fort Worth, Texas.

You dropped out your junior year,

moved to Los Angeles to pursue your dream

of becoming a rap star, and you did.

Only problem you have is that temper.

- How did you...

- Your job is to create the art.

My job is to protect you and keep you out of trouble.

I do that by knowing everything about everybody in the room

and outside of it.

For example, Oscar,

I know there are three undercover officers

in the lobby as we speak.

My guess is they're not here for the mints on the pillow.

- Hey, come on, chill. - Now! Get on the ground now!

- Madam DA, it looks like we're too late.

They had to have been tipped off.

- Log this in, Officer.

Daniella Hernandez.

I wish I could say it was good to see you, sister.

- I wish I could say the same, sister Rucker.

- Actually, that's District Attorney Rucker now.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

I guess I should congratulate you too,

living the dream

or the nightmare,

depending on which side of the bed you're on.

You would have made such a great prosecutor,

but you were always interested in music.

A complete waste of true talent and time if you ask me.

- It's a good thing no one's asking you.

- I take it these two are your clients?

- They're both my clients.

- Wait, y'all two know each other?

- Sorority sisters.

- Sisters, but not family.

- Well that's, uh... That's lovely.

- Where are the drugs, Oscar?

- I already told your mans over there.

I don't know what you're talking about.

- I know you are the one who screwed this up.

My team had solid intel

that your convict client here

was bringing powder in by the kilo

and funneling it through this little thot party.

- Well, obviously...

solid is a bit of an exaggeration.

- I know people like you.

Always valuing money over humanity.

Just know you're on the wrong side of the system.

- It's funny you say that,

seeing as how you so eagerly spearheaded

the most murderous police force in the country.

Legendary for its crimes and civil rights violations

against people of color.

Tell me, Beverly, if someone yells "black lives matter,"

what side of the line are you on?

- That has nothing...

- That has everything to do with it.

So the next time you feel the need to lecture me on being

on the right side of humanity,

you might want to take a look in the mirror first.

In the meantime,

I'd like you to take the cuffs off my clients...

Now.

Still don't know how you managed to save

the neck of one client while simultaneously

corralling in a new one, and not just any new one.

The current number one hip-hop artist on the charts new one.

You can't pay for publicity like that.

Gotta tell you, son,

Daniella is not making your bid to make partner

any easier.

In the time you've been with this firm,

buildings are up almost 30%.

You pumped new blood into this firm,

which it desperately needed.

It's the stuff partners are made of.

- Well, Pops,

not all of us have the advantage

of alluring assets...

To blindly attract hormonal young rappers.

See some of us, Dad,

we gotta rely on skill and hard work.

- Work? - Yeah.

- That's a word you know little about, Mr. Silver Spoon.

Doesn't your dad still give you lunch money?

Thankfully I don't need a hand-me-down partner position.

I'll be earning my name on the door.

- You have anything to add to that, Joshua?

- Nope.

- You're always one step ahead of the game.

A toast to you.

- Arnold.

- Oh, just this once.

You're more fun when you drink.

- Okay, cheers.

Larry, my friend I got to say, you have an eye for talent.

- Well, it's a good thing I have an eye for something,

'cause God knows I'm losing my real vision among other things.

Thank you, bro.

- Oh Larry, you just can't do no wrong.

- Thank you, Joshua, "I invented winning."

- Daniella. - Daniella.

- Look at you. Look at you. - Ah, Larry.

- Well, thanks to you. You're my go-to gal.

- Aw, thank you, Larry. You've always believed in me.

Even when I was just a rookie you gave me my first client.

- I did, didn't I? - Mm-hmm.

- Yes, yes, yes. Don't tell me.

Don't tell me, um...

Terry Jones.

- I'll never forget.

- Whatever happened to that guy?

He was talented. - Drugs and alcohol.

- We see that way too often these days, you know?

- Yeah, just about as often as sexual harassment cases, Larry.

- Ohhh.

- How's your wife doing? - You had to ask.

She's tired of my old ass, I'll tell ya.

- Yeah, I bet she is.

But no matter how much BS you put her through,

you know she'll never leave you.

- I wouldn't be so sure,

and if she does you're first on my list.

She's been transported to a local hospital."

"Isis was found unconscious

"Who then immediately alerted police.

"Speculation is that Isis's longtime boyfriend

- Yes. Yeah, go ahead.

Daniella...

prepare yourself.

- There are ligature marks around her wrist,

which implies she was bound during the attack,

and...

apparently judging by the size

of some of the bruises,

doctors think that a blunt object was used.

Like a stick or something.

What kind of monster would do something like this?

- Do you even care about all the victims

- My client's lyrics feed their families.

They did what they had to. It's called survival.

- No, selling drugs in the community

The same people who put the drugs on the street,

You are so blinded by your own ambition.

You can't even see you're surrounding yourself by the wrong people.

We're not in college anymore.

Just tell me, are you intending to pursue charges

against her boyfriend, Lewis Harper?

- You know it's too early to tell.

But I will say this... If Lewis is the perp,

we'll most likely be looking at simple assault.

- Are you serious? That's probation and a fine.

The doctor's report said he used a weapon...

- There wasn't a weapon found at the scene,

and without a weapon or a statement

from the victim, simple assault is the best I'll be able to do.

- No, let's.

- Nice presentation, Tamika,

but I need more information than what you can Google.

I need to know where he's been

and what he's been doing since the assault.

- The police sent a squad car to his residence.

Nobody answered. This boy's disappeared.

- He's too high profile to have just disappeared.

I need you guys to dig deeper. You know what I mean.

- You know that type of intel ain't our thing.

Since you let Anthony go... - I didn't let Anthony go.

He took another job.

that kind of digging can only be done by an expert, so.

- What about that new mailroom guy that Anthony recommended?

- Bring him to me.

- Colin Match. - March, yes.

- Do you have a new trainee by the name of Steven Someone?

- It's Sam Juan, not Someone.

- Good, come with me please. - What? Wait, wait.

There must be some mistake. He's still in training.

It's March.

It says March.

- Am I getting fired?

- No, just focus, observe,

and don't talk too much.

- Have a seat, Mr. Sam Juan. - Wow, you got it right.

- I'll cut to the chase.

I want to offer you a position on my team

as a special digital researcher.

- Digital researcher?

- Full transparency:

I want you to do some hacking for me.

- Is this an Asian thing? - Are you serious?

- Dude, that is so racist. You're stereotyping me.

You think that I can hack just because I'm Asian?

What, you heard about the new Oriental dude working in the mailroom?

- Steven Sam Juan, age 27.

Last four of your social, 3429.

You still live in your parents' basement.

- Mm-hmm.

- Okay, so you pulled my resume.

- Not just your resume.

Because I know why you still live with your parents.

You hacked the United States Federal Reserve

in record time at age 15.

The problem is you got caught, went to juvie.

- How... those records are supposed to be sealed.

- I'm sure you were just a kid having fun,

but now your parents are in debt because of it.

- What, are you blackmailing me or something?

- This is Hollywood, Sam Juan.

People come here from all over the world

to become celebrities, but...

fame is nothing compared to power.

- Mm. - Power is gained many ways.

One is through the knowledge of secrets.

Everyone has them.

The lucky few take them to their grave.

The rest would kill to keep them.

That's what makes them valuable.

Secrets are currency to me, Sam Juan.

- So you want me to hack into people's personal info

to get you "currency?"

- You're quick.

- Well, I'm sorry, I can't do it.

If the feds found out I was hacking again,

I'll be finished.

I'm not risking that for you or for nobody.

- My previous tech guy was Anthony Rice.

His hacker moniker was Hannibal...

- The Carthaginian? Yo, are you serious?

That dude's on the Mount Rushmore of hackers.

Where's he now?

- Working for the NSA.

- Listen, as insanely cool as this is,

I still don't think I can do it.

- Look, Sam Juan... - Can you call me Steven?

- No, sit down.

I understand your hesitance.

You're scared you'll get caught again,

and you want to do right by your parents,

which is why you took this job to begin with.

Well, that and your father's rising medical bills.

- Okay, can you stop doing that, please?

It's a little creepy that you know everything about me.

- My professional advice here is that

you should never turn down an offer

until you see the proposed compensation.

- Are you serious?

- You could get your parents out of debt in no time,

and I can promise you that I'll protect you and your family

from anything we do here.

What do you say, Sam Juan?

- I say you should've definitely started with this.

- Is that a yes?

- That's a yes. - Good.

- Get to work. - Yes, Ms. Hernandez.

- Thank you, Tamika. - You're welcome.

- I need you to check the private airfields.

They have a couple of pilot friends, right?

- Yeah, we've narrowed it down to two.

- I have the last cell tower was Lewis pinged

and all the numbers he called within the last 48 hours.

- This is it?

He should be in a panic right now calling everyone he knows.

- Unless your boy got a burner.

- All right, I need you to figure out

which one of these numbers is his mother's.

Trace it and if he does have a burner,

the new number should show up there.

- Help me out.

What exactly are we doing here?

- Meaning?

- I mean, this is an entertainment law firm, right?

Don't you just do contract negotiations and stuff?

Shouldn't we leave this for the cops?

Like, why are we getting involved in this case?

- Have a seat, Sam Juan.

We're getting involved because I know

how the law works and doesn't work.

I'm doing this because,

with the right team of lawyers, right publicity,

and right crooked judge, Lewis would get off scot-free

and sue Isis for defamation of character.

I'm doing this because Isis is my client,

and more importantly she's my friend.

So you and I need to get something clear.

If in the future you're curious

as to why we're doing something,

the simple answer is because I told you to.

- You need anything else from me tonight?

- No thanks, Miguel.

- Good night, ma'am. - Night.

- Gabriella. - Good night, Miguel.

You look just like your mother

when she would come back from the studio so tired.

She was a workaholic just like you.

Don't be like her.

- I don't know how else to be.

- You need to be your own woman.

I keep telling you that it's not healthy for you

to live in the same house as your mother.

I think you need to sell it.

This is not good for you.

Too many goals.

There's only so much sage I can burn.

- I'm never gonna sell it. You know that.

It's the only way I feel close to her.

- Don't forget your father lived here too.

Not openly, but he was here

more than he was with his own family.

He cared so much about your mother

he bought this house cash

so the two of you would always have it.

- Which is why I'm not leaving. This house is all I have.

It's hard being without them. Barely having a memory.

I didn't even know who my father was

until a few years ago.

All I know is I was a secret... a mistake.

- How many times do I have to tell you

that you were not a mistake?

Would your father's life have been ruined

if they would have known about you?

Yes.

But believe me, he loved you so much.

He always called you his little angel.

You always tell me that.

Just wish I could remember it. That I could remember anything.

TV announcer: inquiry on corruption charges

involving several of its members.

Hip hop royalty rapper Connor Hanks

known as Lil Murda has been reported dead.

His death has been ruled a suicide.

Authorities say there was no foul play involved.

Connor was 31 years old with a promising career,

currently holding a top 10 chart spot

for three weeks in a row with his latest single.

Sources say that Hanks was in talks

with hip hop mogul Big Dom's label.

The deal was said to be worth millions.

- Appreciate you.

- I'ma hold it down for you, man.

- All right, good.

- Ladies.

- How you doing, Dom?

- Life is Gucci. Getting them bags.

Now you know you the baddest chick on the planet, right?

- Well, I'm sure your wife Bella would disagree.

- There you go, you know she ain't my wife.

- And you know why I'm here. Tell me you didn't do it.

- Do what?

- Dom, don't play me like I'm everyone else.

- First of all, I would never play you, D.

Second, I don't know what you mean.

- You don't know what I mean? - No.

that a young white kid at the top of his game

would just suddenly commit suicide.

Look, I wouldn't lie to you.

Damn. There it is.

- Come on, Daniella,

I'm not gonna hurt you.

- I just...

I just...

I just keep having these dreams,

but they're more like visions.

- What do you mean "visions?"

- Like, visions of what happened

the night my parents died.

Like, it wasn't just a car accident.

- You know what happened.

Your dad was found with drugs and alcohol in his system.

The car spun out of control and... and that's it.

Okay, and I know you want to believe

there's more to this story but, baby,

sometimes there just isn't.

- I know that's the story,

but I don't know if that's the truth.

Everyone I've ever talked to about my dad

said they don't remember him drinking or doing drugs.

- I mean...

We all have secrets, right?

You're the one who told me that.

I mean, look at us right now.

- Yeah. - And you were so little.

I mean, what do you actually remember?

- Well, that's just the thing. I wasn't in the car, right?

But in my dream, I'm in the backseat.

I can see everything.

- Well, it's definitely a dream.

Because if you'd been in that car,

you wouldn't even be here right now.

- Yeah, I know. It just...

It feels so real.

- I bet.

It's okay.

- It's probably all in my head.

Just forget I said anything, okay?

I gotta go.

- No you don't.

Why don't you just stay the night tonight?

Look, nobody knows you're here.

- Hey. - Yeah.

- If you hear from Lewis, promise you'll call?

- Yes. - Thank you.

It was fun.

- Yeah. No, she just left.

I think she may know something.

- Lang & Associates, Daniella Hernandez's office.

Uh-huh. Who am I speaking to?

Yo, are you serious?

Yeah, sure man. I'll tell her you downstairs.

All right, cool.

- So the phone number led to a dead end.

We need to double our efforts to find Lewis.

- Good morning. - You're late.

- I'm actually 15 minutes early,

and I'm doing your job answering your phone calls.

- What phone calls? - That was Big Dom.

He said he was outside, and he wanted to stop in.

- What?!

What did you tell him? - Of course I said sure.

I mean, that's Big Dom.

- Oscar and Lil Ag's meeting is in five minutes.

They're probably downstairs in our lobby right now.

- You just made sure the two biggest rivals in hip hop

are about to meet in our lobby together at the same time.

- We got the number one spot.

- If I want Ag, I'll take him from you.

- You got a problem with Dom, you got a problem with me.

You're not doing this here. Look around you.

- I appreciate you agreeing to take me back as a client.

I missed you.

- I never said I'd take you back,

and you showing up here unannounced

is not helping your case at all.

- That's what I always loved about you, D.

You still got that fire, the way you handled

everybody down there in the lobby.

Now, you know, I ain't never listened to nobody but you.

- Dom, stop. It's business.

- Okay, then let's talk business.

I know you think I should leave the streets alone, D,

but the streets is what got me where I am.

- Yeah. - I just got offered

a new distribution deal for 50 mil.

I have three platinum artists and counting.

They all have priors. That's why I need you.

- I appreciate that, Dom,

but if you and I are ever gonna work together again,

you have to promise me

that everything's gonna be done legit.

I can't let you put me in that position again.

- Of course, I can't erase the past.

I'm worried about your girl, the DA chick.

- Yeah, you should be.

Beverly's relentless and she has too much power now.

If she finds even the slightest bit of evidence

that you're using illicit funds to finance your label,

she'll stop at nothing to shut you down.

- You and me both know I'ma always be a real one,

but I'll lay low.

As for your man Oscar, you need to tell him

to stay out of my way for him and Ag's safety.

Already been nice enough letting him use my studio,

but they need to be grateful.

- This is exactly what I'm talking about, Dom,

keep me out of your street business.

Don't worry about what I do

for Oscar and Lil Ag; that's my business.

- All right. - Arnold.

I hope you don't mind.

- No, of course. No problem.

Dom, how's the man of the year?

- Living one day at a time, pimp.

What's popping with you?

- Oh, you know, business as usual.

Hey, congrats on Sabrina going platinum.

You're on top of the world, Dom.

- It's a hell of a view.

- So let's do lunch next week.

- For sure. - Well, since we're all here,

can we talk business? - Sure.

I hear you're coming back to the family.

- It looks like it,

but I wanted to discuss it with you first.

- Come on, Daniella, if it were up to me

he never would have left in the first place.

Greenwald is not Lang & Associates.

They don't have anybody like Daniella over there, do they?

- Agreed. So it sounds like the prodigal son returns.

Now let's get this paper, huh?

- Dom's happy, everybody's happy.

I'll let you two guys finish up.

- All right. - Thank you, Arnold.

- Well, as much as I love playing catch-up with you,

I have to get back to work.

I'll have Tamika send over

the retainer agreement this afternoon.

- The hospital just called.

- If I didn't get it, it didn't happen.

I want the report on my desk by end of day today.

- Bev, I got the financials on Dom and Oscar.

Now we do know that they are a bunch of criminals

that are trying to wash their dirty money,

but we can't prove that that money's being used

to fund the labels.

- Well without any hard evidence,

we can't do a damn thing against Dom or Oscar.

But I will find a way to take them down.

I'll be damned if I let those thugs

continue to hide behind their drug money.

- Well look, Lewis, he's an easier case to make.

I needed help, and he can take me where I need to be.

He promised me that he'd have it fixed
