Previously on Sacrifice.

You OK?

I've never seen these photos before.

You and Uncle Sly were quite the thing.

I was looking through my father's old files.

I found this organization that he was involved with, so I dialed the number.

Who the hell is this?

Oh, damn, that's extra.

Sex sells.

And according to the charts, our sex is selling platinum.

RCT Equity was about to own Black Gammon's entire

Catalog. Have any one of you seen Jamison's IG post from this morning?

Find out what she's truly passionate about. She supports the Girls High

School Scholarship Foundation.

Write that foundation a check for $50,000.

I just had to meet the woman that made that incredible donation to my

foundation. Jazzico.

I'm so glad you could make it. I really don't date my clients.

What would happen if I fired you? You wouldn't be a client anymore.

You didn't bring that bottle of scotch by any chance.

You took away my entire life. Goodbye, sister.

Ella, it's Jazz, all right? I'm just checking on you. Just wanna make sure

you're okay.

Here to make up?

You have the Allianz meeting for Jameson at 11.30. It's 10.15.

I'm on my way.

And your black gaming board meeting dinner is confirmed for 7 tonight.

Yeah, I know.

Also, you might want to check Twitter.

I'm sending you a link.

What's on Twitter?

Your new client, Jameson, is making things interesting.

It's worse.

It's been up for five hours.

400,000 views and climbing, TMZ, Worldstar, Basib.

It's official.

All right, see if someone can take it down. All right.

Maybe it should take a few days.

Jamerson's only been a client for a week.

Make sure the boardroom's set up for the Allianz meeting, okay?

Oh, my man.

I was wondering when I was going to hear from you. I ain't sly.

It's good to see you after so long.

How are you?

You know, just into the world, going where I want, when I want.

All this freedom is starting to freak me out. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah. Well, calling people you don't know is what's freaking me out.

What people?

Your father's old business partners.

I guess you made a phone call.

An old business number that should have been disconnected.

And whoever you called traced your phone.

What do you want, man? These ex-business partners been sleeping all these years,

and you suddenly woke them up. I thought we had an understanding, bro.

First of all, I ain't your brother.

I sat in that cell all that time.

I ain't say shit.

But I'm home now.

And maybe, uh, you know.

ready to find my voice.

How does $250,000 sound? You go someplace quiet, start over. For a phone

call? I didn't even say anything.

Doesn't matter. They know who you are now.

Wow.

Well, $250,000 only sounds like half of what I need.

$500,000.

Cash, Venmo, Bitcoin, however you want it. And then what?

I gotta leave?

Huh?

Let me tell you something.

I'm owed millions for the sacrifice I made.

You and my father are a goddamn joke. Do I have to remind you who these people

are, what they do?

Come on, Sly.

It's a chance to start fresh.

Nothing here but bad memories anyway, right?

You're wrong.

I got great memories here.

Think about it.

Just don't take too long.

Man, I wish I could say it was good seeing you.

You're a fucking clown.

Just like my fucking pops.

Let me see you on the outside and I'll fuck you up.

Here's coffee.

I made breakfast for you downstairs.

Coffee's all the breakfast I need, Tia.

I know you've been drinking, Daniela.

I don't know anything.

Don't lie, please.

You need to talk to someone about what happened with Misty. I need to talk to

someone who will tell me the truth about my parents' death.

For some reason, Uncle Sly and I keep missing each other. Maybe there's

nothing else to know.

I really need to talk to him.

Wait a minute.

She was married to my dad.

She might know something.

Carol Steinberg hated your mother. I don't care.

She's an awful, spiteful woman. And an awful woman who may have some answers

for me. Listen to me. You're crazy if you go see her. Do not go to that woman.

Damn it, Daniela.

Don't curse at me.

And don't tell me who I can see. I'll talk to whomever I want to, Tia.

Tell Miguel I'll be down in five minutes.

Tamika got a boyfriend.

I don't even like him like that.

But you do like him in some kind of way. I mean, I don't know. I don't even know

Jason. And what do you think Daniella would say?

Well, I'm sure she wouldn't like it.

He works for Beverly.

This is Tamika speaking.

What?

My husband?

At reception?

Tell him to go away.

No, hold on. No.

You're married?

I'll be right there.

Mom, where's my Aunt Shawn?

Aunt Shawn?

Thank god.

Derek is here.

I'll call you later.

Wait, you're married?

And have kids? Yes.

Can you do me a favor?

Of course.

There's my girl.

Took me forever to find you. There's a restraining order, Derek.

I expired two months ago.

Look. What are you doing here?

I know I wasn't right.

And I want to apologize for everything. You beat me. I'm better now.

I don't have time for this.

Look. Put your hands over her.

It's okay, someone.

I'm sorry.

All right?

The VA set me up with counseling.

Anger management.

I found a church.

I swear I'll change.

Look, I'm happy for you, but it's too late.

You need to go.

Now, Derrick.

I get it.

I just want to prove to you I'm a new man.

Is she here?

In a conference hall. Come with me. OK. Thank you.

Lauren, sorry to keep you waiting.

Not a problem, Daniela. Let's jump right in. Let's.

Alianci's acquisition of Jameson's cosmetic room is both historic and a

virtual coup in the cosmetic world.

There's just one thing, the video of Jameson beating her husband

Bobby in the elevator.

Husbands and wives have their moments.

Yes. But the whole world saw this moment.

And in order for us to move forward, we need Jameson to make a statement.

Something sincere that sheds light on the situation.

The world is expecting an explanation.

And Alvin Ansi can never be seen as condoning violence.

Of course.

I'll handle it.

Great.

Daniella! I'm so glad you could make it. This is my husband, Bobby.

Hello.

Hey, um, I'll talk with you later.

And off he goes.

He's in his feelings.

But let's talk Allianz. How did the meeting go? The meeting went well.

The deal is more than generous.

Unfortunately, no one can focus on anything but the video.

Your fans want to know what went wrong.

Allianz demands you make a statement to ease the public's mind.

I'm a performer.

I don't do PR.

Jameson. This deal could be worth billions.

Don't let it slip away over one video.

Think of all the young girls that look up to you.

Say something to them.

OK, fine.

I'll make a statement.

Great. I'll set it up. You look beautiful. Have a wonderful shoot.

And then Arnold offered me $250,000 to get lost.

When did you tell him? I told him I needed five.

All I did was look into some of my pop's old deals, and I gave Daniela some old

pictures. The ship was harmless.

Apparently not.

Look, if I take Arno up on his offer to leave,

I want you to come with me.

You're talking crazy.

Daniela needs me.

I think she's been drinking again.

No, no. And to make matters worse, she's supposed to go see Carol today.

Carol Steinberg? She's desperate for information.

I know.

Shit, I'm telling you now, Arnold's going to freak. What are you not telling

me about this thing between you and Arnold? I'm not keeping anything from

you.

Look, I really want you, Gabriella.

I really need you.

Am I being too forward?

I get it. I get it. We can take things slow.

You've been gone close to 30 years.

I'm done with going slow.

Carol. Oh, Daniela Hernandez.

Please, sit.

Thank you.

And thank you for taking the time to see me.

I know you must be busy since becoming the CEO of Criterium.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Your ears must have been burning. I've been talking about you quite a bit.

In what regard?

How much you've been through lately, this tragic business with Isis and her

mother and that awfulness at Gallery Jassico.

I feel for you.

The circumstances that bind us have taught me quite a bit about pain.

I can only imagine.

Oh, dear child, I don't see how you can imagine the devastation I felt

discovering that my husband, my life partner with whom I was raising a

family, betrayed me with your mother, with whom he was raising another family.

I mean, it would have been one thing had he left us, but two families at the same

time and me never knowing?

Must have been painful and humiliating.

But you had nothing to do with any of that ugliness.

I agreed to see you because my misdirected anger is, well, it's

something that I'm coming to terms with.

I'm happy to hear that.

Because I was hoping you could help me find some answers about my parents'

accident.

Oh, it wasn't an accident.

Oh.

You really don't know, do you?

Know what?

Ellis Shaw killed my husband, and in the process, his own daughter, your mother.

He made it appear an accident, which is why he's gotten away with it all these

years.

What?

No.

That can't be. Oh, you don't know your grandfather, especially then.

Carol, I don't believe you.

Why would he do that?

Hunter, my husband, and your father wanted to acquire the Black Diamond

label, but your grandfather refused to sell.

Hunter had some photos of your grandfather in a, well, compromising

situation. And against my advice, he tried to extort him.

What kind of photos?

How do I say this tastefully?

From time to time, your grandfather liked Dick, Daniela.

Here is a little keepsake of mine for when I'm feeling sad and blue and I need

a good laugh.

Ellis was furious with Hunter for stealing his daughter and a top artist.

And then with Hunter coming to him with these pictures and trying to grab his

label, well, Ellis Shaw was not to be fucked with in those days.

I can't believe this.

Well, sweetie, in my world, seeing is believing.

But I am so glad that you came to me today, Daniela.

Call me any time.

Thank you, Carol.

You gotta step out.

Uh, yeah, of course.

The singing duo extra is now.

Young female empowerment monetizing the very thing that's been objectifying

them? Basically, selling ass is a consumable product.

When has that ever been a problem in the music industry?

Elvis, Nicki Minaj, Tina Turner, Prince.

Sorry I'm late.

As I was saying, we can't ignore the change in morals of the times and expect

to grow a strong business.

These young ladies are flaunting their bodies. Their lyrics.

Is something funny, Daniela? Flaunting their bodies?

Are you kidding me?

You know a lot about sexual desires, don't you, granddad?

You care to elaborate? You know goddamn well what I'm talking about.

Is that why you hated my father?

Because he found out the truth about you? You don't bring up this old shit

tonight. It's been dead and buried.

Somebody want to tell me what the hell she's talking about?

Yeah.

Happily, cousin.

Check it out.

You two, leave.

Now. Oh.

People have been trying to stir up this shit for decades.

And it looks like you finally fell for it. Are these photos why you killed my

parents? What did you just say to me? You took my father out and in the

process killed your own daughter. You're just. How do you live with yourself?

You're just like your mother, hateful, evil, and misguided.

Get the hell out of here and you're off the board.

Just admit it.

You pushed me away all these years because you couldn't face me after what

you did. One last goddamn time. Daniela, leave.

And your ass never needs to come back.

There's no statute of limitations on murder, Mr. Shaw.

Especially when it's about to happen.

There goes extra. We don't need no goddamn extra.

Yes. Mmm.

Mmm. Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.

Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

No shooting.

You know, I'm glad I came out tonight.

To be honest, I was going to cancel.

How could you cancel on me?

My ex showed up unannounced.

Boyfriend?

Husband.

Mm.

You were married.

Shit, technically still am.

What was the name of this drink again?

Bob and Quirt? Bob and Quirt. Bob and Quirt. Yeah.

Mmm.

Let's dance.

You surprised me.

Well, how did I do that?

I don't know. You just did it, okay?

Uh-huh.

I need it, please.

Well, glad to be of service.

Baby, you are better than this.

Mama?

He killed you.

Your old father, he killed you.

Nobody killed me.

I'm with you.

I'm always with you You were born to win Don't let anybody stop you

You hear me?

Nobody

I was thinking.

What?

Maybe we can go to Disneyland, all of us, as a family.

Look, last night was cool, but it was a mistake.

We shouldn't have been doing that.

You know, I think we should just move on.

I can't say I agree, but I understand your point of view.

That's different.

I'm different, Tamika.

I've learned.

Okay.

I'm glad you understand.

Hey,

guys.

Daddy, where's Mommy?

Tell Daddy where I can find you.

My name is Daniela, and I've been sober four hours and 30 minutes.

I'm not proud of that.

But this is the last time I'm falling off. But this is the last time I fall

off. I'm gonna win.

We fall down, but we get up.

Step three.

There's a power greater than myself.

And that power is going to help me achieve my dreams. And that power is

going to help me achieve my dreams. And that power is going to help me achieve

my dreams. And that power is going to help me achieve my dreams.

They're going to regret the day they fuck with me. They're going to regret

the day they fuck with me. I'm going to close Allianz.

I'm going to sign Jameson to Blackgammon.

I'm going to get back on the board.

And Blackgammon's going to be mine.

My grandfather's going to wish jail was an option when I'm through with him.

I'm gonna make my mom proud. I'm gonna make my mom proud.

I mean, it was the thing I wanted most out of everything in the world.

That was very good.

We only have Lila and Henry. Why don't you talk?

Okay, well, I had another interesting weekend with my ex-wife.

Daniela, that was an incredible risk you took, spending $50,000 of your own

dollars to land Jameson as a client.

I had to.

You never would have approved it.

And I would have been an idiot.

Of course, we're going to pay you back with interest.

That was a superb strategy.

Thank you all. I appreciate it. Now, if you'll excuse me.

We ready?

We are ready.

You good? Yeah.

And action.

Hello, everyone.

I owe you an apology.

I know I let many of you down with my awful behavior.

No, cut. I'm not reading this shit.

What's wrong?

It's a lie.

Jamison, we did a focus group on that statement, and it scored through the

roof. Bobby, let's go.

Wait.

Jamison, let me talk to you.

You think you can fix this shit?

Yeah.

Give me a moment. Let me rework it.

I like that addition.

Ready?

Yeah. Go.

And action.

Hello, everyone.

Jameson here.

I know a lot of you have been wondering what happened in that elevator.

Regardless of the reason, I was angry and I lost my temper.

My husband and I both hurt each other through our marriage, but that gives me

no right to put my hands on him.

I truly love him.

We've recommitted to each other and are taking healthier steps to repair our

marriage. And that means the world to me.

And I just want to say thank you to you all for all the love and support and

encouraging words. And I can't wait to share some great news with you soon.

We fall down, but we get up.

Cut. Got it.

How was that?

Perfect.

Go ahead and drop it.

OK. I'll run back to the office so I can hurry up that paperwork, and we can

close this deal. Thank you, Lauren.

Right this way.

Happy? I work for you.

I'm happy if you're happy.

Yes, I do.

Grace, I about your shit.

I like that.

Thank you.

You know, you mentioned you might be interested in going to a different

label. True.

I'm so over my current label.

I think I might have a great option for you.

Blackgammon.

Are they still putting out records? They are.

They're an established, well-respected, even loved brand.

You could be their new face.

Tell you what.

Let's close this alley on steel.

Then we'll sit down with Blackgammon.

Sounds like a plan.

Oh my god.

You trying to kill me?

No. That was amazing.

Amazing.

I miss you so much.

It's been so long.

How are you doing?

Honestly, I'm at the crossroads, you know?

I don't know which way I want to go.

The money?

Yeah, the money.

I'll tell you one thing that ain't changed in 28 years.

What? When rich people, and I mean really, really rich people, snap their

fingers and tell you your life is over.

It is.

Hey. Hey.

Hope I didn't take too long.

You've been staring a hole into that guy.

Yeah. I thought he was somebody I knew. But it's not.

It's good to see you.

Same here.

I've been worried about you since that scene at the gallery. You OK?

Yeah. I'm fine now.

I was wondering if I'd ever see you again.

That's why I called you.

I heard you at the door that night.

I just needed to be alone.

Since then, I've been thinking about my future with myself, how I manage my

personal life going forward.

I do hope I'm playing some part in that.

Is it official?

Am I fired?

Definitely.

That's good news.

How you doing, beautiful?

Tom.

You know Jazzico.

Yeah.

What's going on with your man?

Slow motion.

Here you go.

And do we need two more menus? Nope, just one.

The lady will have the salmon bisque with the avocado caprese salad.

It's her favorite dish.

Thank you, Dom.

But I'm in the mood for steak.

I'll have a six ounce prime, Oscar style, medium rare.

Very good.

And for you, sir?

I'll have the same.

Great. Trying something new, huh?

Yeah.

Shaking it up, Dom.

Tamika has you scheduled to come to the office tomorrow.

I'll see you then.

All right.

I'll leave you two to it then.

Thank you.

See, I'm not the only client feeling you.

Oh, that.

Don't mind him.

Will you excuse me for a moment?

Sure. I'll be right back.

Take your time. Thank you.

You'll be ready to retire in like 10, 15 years.

That's what that's about.

Oh. Let me get a minute.

That didn't last long.

Stop it.

Is that James Martinique over there?

Yeah, he's basically the ambassador for the cartel. And that's Bobby. Yeah,

sitting with him. That's why I'm asking.

Why is he meeting with Martinique?

I could find out. What you thinking?

Something doesn't feel right.

You know, I can make it feel right.

You're not the only one.

See you tomorrow.

Hey.

I have an idea.

Why don't we take our meal to go?

Sounds good to me.

Good.

You know, this is the second time we've had takeout.

I'm starting to think you want to see me wash dishes.

This time it was your idea.

You're right.

Ready for dessert?

Sure.

Hey, when you, um, when you stopped drinking, what did you do to fill the

void?

Coffee?

Sugar?

Sex?

Hey, that's it.

Well, you look relaxed.

I am.

You know, Jessica ain't who you think he is.

I don't care if he is sober now. He was a mean drunk.

I have a past too.

Don't ruin this for me, Dom.

I'm trying to move forward.

Seeing you with Bella, I can't do it anymore.

Dee. Don't.

Did you find out anything on Bobby?

I did.

He's still dirty.

Bobby's been moving pills and blowing Jameson's tour buses for years.

Does she know?

I don't think so.

You need to get away from this situation, Dee. It's Jameson.

I can't. I worked too hard for it. Damn, Jameson, this shit'll get you killed.

You got two choices.

You either walk away or get Bobby away from Jameson.

Simple as that.

Telling me that I've been selfish, I walk up in this room alone.

If diamonds are a girl's best friend, I take them everywhere I go.

I've been low and high on .

And that's a cut.

Great, we got it. Moving on.

Hi, Jameson.

I need to talk to you. It's important.

Sure. What's up?

Well, Allianz is about to put a ton of money into promoting you. But before

they do, they will turn over every little pebble to make sure there's

nothing inappropriate in your life that could affect their brand.

You mean Bobby.

You may need to sever ties with Bobby.

And soon.

Look, don't worry.

Whatever's in the past, I'll fix it.

This is about your future.

Thank you for having my back and helping me, and if you need anything.

Actually, I may need your help, too.

What's up, man?

Did Daniella see you come in?

No. Nobody took me straight to your floor. No stops.

Good.

There's $100,000 there. You get the rest when you settle somewhere.

What's the problem?

None of this feels right, man.

What's really going on, Arnold?

Just trying to keep everybody safe.

Daniela and you, for that matter.

Really?

So where's the money coming from?

Me. It's the truth.

I'm guessing that you got released from prison. You want to make things right.

Well, guess what?

So do I.

But it's too late.

Now it's about making the right moves before things get out of hand.

Nah.

No dice.

What are you kidding?

You're not going to own me, Arnold. No one's trying to own you, Sly.

This money's going to keep you alive.

Just like my sister, Lila.

Yeah.

I ain't forgot about her.

Later for that, man.

I told you before, you keep playing me to the left, man, you must don't know

who I am.

Oh, shit.

She'd like to have a word with you.

Hey, cousin. What do you have here?

What's this all about, Daniela?

Bacon on plate.

Inspired choice.

It's a little early to be drinking.

You wish.

I'm clear as a bell.

You're going to help me get back on the board.

The hell I am. You're going to do this because I never told our grandfather

about you and Ronnie trying to steal his label.

Yeah.

So.

Call Ellis right now and set up a meeting.

So what is it this time?

Did I shoot Kennedy or King?

What the hell are you doing here?

I'm sorry about the other night.

I shouldn't have accused you of that.

It's just those pictures threw me off.

I'm sure you understand.

But business is business.

You know that better than anyone.

And I have one of the hottest artists in the world interested in signing with

Black Gammon.

I already told Chelsea I'm not interested in signing Extra.

I'm not talking about Extra.

Hey, Daniella.

Hey, Jameson.

I want to introduce you to my grandfather, Ellis Shaw, founder of

Black Gammon Records.

I was just telling him that you're interested in signing with the new

label. Very nice to meet you, Mr. Shaw. My mom has . all of your releases since

back in the day. Oh, yes, young lady. I've admired your career, and I would

welcome you to the Black Gammon family.

Let's see if we can make that happen. It was so nice meeting the legend.

Daniella, I gotta run. All right, talk to you soon.

She has a huge deal with Allianz Cosmetics. We're about to close.

Let's keep one thing clear.

Black Gammon is my label.

You do good, you'll be rewarded.

You do bad, there will be no more second chances.

I won't need one.

I'm sorry. She's gone for the day. I think she has an opening on Thursday.

I'll pencil it in and confirm with you after I talk to Mr. Hernandez.

OK.

Hey,

Angels. Hi, Mommy.

Mommy, when are you coming?

What do you mean? Where's your grandmother?

Daddy's here.

What?

right where he belongs.

But these kids should have never taken them from me in the first place. Derek,

don't you go anywhere. I'll be right there.

Oh, don't bother. I'm taking my kids home, Tamika. Let's talk about it. Last

night was fun, but you're right.

Derek, don't you... It's never gonna work out. Derek, no.

Bye.

Shh.

Wait. Pick up.

What's wrong? What's going on?

What are

you doing in my house?

Why don't you come here and take a seat?

No.

Would you please bring our ass in here?

No. Let's go. Don't touch me. No, don't touch me.

I really want you to shut up. If Jamison finds out about this. She won't, because

you ain't going to say shit.

Now you can yell, but we both know Gabrielle is visiting her sister in

Boyle Heights and Miguel, well, he just left.

I understand that you like a taste every now and then.

Me, I never cared much for alcohol or drugs.

I want you to drink this.

What'd you put in it?

Oh.

Oh.

Now, they can hold you down, and I can force your mouth open one way or

another.

You're going to drink this.

Drink it.

Come on.

There you go. There you go.

So here's what's going to happen, okay?

You're going to stop talking to my wife about who she should be severing ties

with and asking questions about me and looking into things you shouldn't be.

You're just going to do your damn job and finish this Ollie Hunt still because

shipping cosmetics is going to open up a whole new way for me to distribute my

drugs.

Okay?

Are we clear?

Are we clear? We're clear.

Come on.

Finish it.

I'm already feeling it. Finish it.

Come on. Come on. Finish it.

There you go.

There you go.

You're going to be so glad that you're high for this next part.

What the hell are you two waiting on?

Fuck you, Bobby.
