Original subtitles

Previously on Sacrifice.

Carol told me how you were burning through blackgammon assets to devalue

the company, all so you could swoop in and buy it for yourself.

So the two of you have been conspiring against me.

Carol Steinberg is convinced.

Alice killed my parents.

Sly, did you ever hear him threaten my father?

Yeah. What happened?

He wanted somebody to kill him.

Me.

Daniela knows you asked me to kill Huntsman.

I will now be the majority shareholder of Black Ammon. What? Oh, no. When

Hunter died in the accident.

We both know it wasn't an accident.

You were in the car the night of your parents' car crash.

Uh-oh.

Oh, my God. We have to call. Call 911.

Are you two ready? It's about time.

Absolutely.

We just couldn't let things be.

It's all your fault.

You okay, babe?

Yeah.

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

I might be overstepping, but it's been a month.

I don't believe you've taken the necessary time to process Gabriella's

death.

I'm fine.

You haven't been to a meeting in a while.

Maybe... Maybe I don't need to.

I've got you.

Hey, make sure you sing that song you've been working on. It's amazing.

Well, I love a woman who knows what she likes.

It's a hit, and I want you to kill it at the launch party.

At Jameson's Club.

You know, it's the first time the public's going to hear Black Gammon's

new roster.

Jameson, Extra, now Jazzico.

There was a time when someone thought that mixing business and pleasure wasn't

a good idea.

And someone changed her mind.

I'm glad she did.

I'm going to miss you.

It's only a couple of days.

New York.

Then back to you for lunch.

I was hoping to have all this laid out before you two lovebirds got up.

Uncle Sly.

You made this for me every Sunday when I was a little girl.

Listen, you two come sit down, please. Oh.

I can't. I got to go. I got a plane to catch. Maybe next time.

I look forward to it.

Be good.

Safe travels, babe.

Thank you.

So how you doing?

Good. This looks good. I must say so myself.

Look at this. It's amazing.

What a spread.

Let's see.

Morning, Daniela. Sly. Good morning.

Gail, settle in. There's plenty to go around.

Looks good, brother. Thank you. Yeah.

Anything new?

Since they found the shooter's body, they haven't been able to connect it to

Matthew, Carol, or Sinjin.

So there's no new information on the members of Sinjin we can actually name?

Well, the authorities are asking questions, but they're not coming up

with any answers.

You can bet the members of Sinjin how the best attorney's money can buy.

You can get away with murder if you're rich enough.

Ain't that the truth?

Whoever is responsible for murdering Gabriella, I'm going to find them.

Knock, knock.

Hey, you.

Didn't expect to see you here today.

Something you need? Yes.

The arrest of every single member of Sin Gym.

Danny, please.

The Sin Gym group is well-heeled and international.

Any investigation into their activities will take time to unravel.

Meaning you're going to do nothing.

This case is personal for me, too.

I really love Gabriella.

Well, all the more reason you should get off your ass and do something about it,

Beverly. I am directing all the resources I have to this case.

I took care of someone.

OK.

Fine.

Thank you.

But since you're here.

What? Granted, he's trying to reduce his sentence.

But I have a witness who swears Don Mayfield ordered the hit on the trail

week six months ago.

A jailhouse confession.

Come on, Beverly.

Then Dom had the men who carried out the hit killed.

What are you going to do next?

Charge him with overdue library books?

Even if I wasn't his attorney, I wouldn't believe a word of this.

Subconsciously, you know the truth. You just refuse to learn.

Learn what?

That when you sleep with dogs, you wake up with fleas.

Is that so?

Well, I'm sleeping with Jazzico.

How's that going?

It feels good to be loved.

One sec.

Hey, boss.

Hello? Hey, boss.

Here, let me get that. What's on the slate, Tamika?

Well, you had an appointment this afternoon at LA Live.

What do you mean, had?

Did they cancel?

No, but someone thinks you might want to after what he found.

Someone talk to me.

All I can say is, I'm going to blow your mind.

Talk about setting the bar high, kid.

Tamika, what is it? He wouldn't tell me.

Someone rarely disappoints, right?

That's true.

So I found this in Mr. Lang's encrypted files.

Okay, what am I looking at? This is your father's petition for a final divorce

decree and his last will and testament.

Wait.

My father was divorcing Carol when he died?

Yep. That's mind-blowing. Yeah, it is. Not even. Open the will.

Okay.

My father left me half his shares of Criterium Records?

Half his shares of a major record label? Damn. You were ballin' before, but now

you're rich-rich.

Someone, you're right. This is incredible.

Print these out. I need to speak with Arnold.

What do you want me to say?

Those documents are exactly what they look like.

So my father was divorcing Carol when he died.

She contested it, but lost.

And he left me. A shitload of Criterium shares.

I can't believe you kept this hidden from me.

Were you ever going to tell me the truth, Arnold?

I wanted to, but.

I read in the newspaper about some intelligence agent and his daughter

being injected with a nerve agent. Or a newspaper guy, Khashoggi, being cut into

little pieces.

Oh, come on, Arnold.

Yeah, you don't think some of those perpetrators were part of Sin Gem? Then

think again!

Okay.

But why protect Carol by hiding my father's divorce decree and will?

It's her husband.

And those wealthy people he lobbies for, isn't it? He does a lot more than lobby.

Like what?

Tell me, or I'll go to the police with everything I have.

Oh, yeah? Well, be sure to tell them you got the information from that son of a

bitch Samhwan that hacked my firm a couple of months ago.

And then ran some pure patriot media for $3 million.

You see?

As I've been responsible for you, you're responsible for Samhwan, for Tamika.

You were responsible for Gabriela. Don't you dare say her death was my fault. I

warned you. I warned Sly.

Now you know why I hid this from you all these years.

Because I know people were going to die.

You have the divorce papers now. You have the will. You have all the stuff

that I've hidden from you.

Have at it.

Just don't say I didn't warn you.

This is a surprise.

I'm very busy, so.

Wait, what happened to your hand?

I cut a tendon opening a can of spaghetti.

I'm fine.

It's not why I came to talk to you.

OK. I don't want to hide our relationship anymore.

Right. That's why I put in for a transfer to Orange County Sheriff's

Department.

It was approved effective next week.

You transferred without telling me?

I wanted to surprise you.

I'm surprised.

You have a very promising Los Angeles career ahead of you. It'll be just as

promising in Orange County.

Now we can date in front of everybody out in the open.

I wish you had spoken to me first.

I'm speaking to you now.

Thank you.

I would have come to the mansion, Mr. Shaw.

It's good for me to get out.

And I could swear I heard you call me Grandpa once.

I did.

Once.

Have a seat.

So what do you want to see me about?

The agreement we signed to get Black Gammon out of default grants me certain

executive powers within the label.

You drove a hard but well-deserved bargain.

And we get to keep the label within the family. And it will always remain in the

family.

But I want Don Mayfield to run it.

Well, if he's running the label, what the hell would I be doing?

Retiring.

Don will take Black Gammon to the next level.

Don is a very talented man, but he is not me.

He's a hit maker, Mr. Sharp. I've made 100 times more hits than he has.

That may be so, but it's time to pass the torch.

You mean give you my life?

What else do I have, Daniella?

You can't take that away from me. I won't stand for it. You won't stand for

it, because you'll be sitting, Ellis.

You're a toothless old dog. And for once, I agree with Daniella.

What the hell is she doing here? Daniella invited me.

Have a seat, Carol.

Should I go?

No. Stay.

You'll want to hear this.

You paid off the $20 million loan.

So what?

Ellis, your conniving granddaughter, realized that you've always been the

problem with the label.

Hunter knew it, and that little tramp Lila knew it. Don't you ever speak about

my mother that way. Lila gave you her housekeeper's name to keep you her dark

secret, and you still want to crown her mother of the year?

You made a $20 million bet in a high stakes game, Daniela.

You will lose.

No, you're losing.

The shares in Criterium my father left me. The shares you claimed were yours

all these years.

Holy shit. What did you say? What is this nonsense, Daniela? In your divorce

settlement, my father left me half of his Criterium shares.

I have the will.

Arnold's been hiding from me.

That divorce was never filed.

Hunter and I were reconciling. He realized that your mother was just some

side piece he lost control of.

Carol. You were the side piece.

And my father finally realized it.

Because he knew you were fucking Matthew the whole time you were married, you

filthy whore.

Stop lying.

And go suck some dick, Ellis.

That's a goddamn lie.

I'm telling you, that divorce was never finalized. And you're going to have an

impossible time proving it.

Carol, I already have the proof.

You've been stealing from me.

And I'm coming for what's mine.

Now get out.

What's up, boo?

Hey. What took so long to get here?

Uh, checked on that shipment to Kansas City.

How'd it go?

Cops are getting expensive, but I took care of it.

How's mom and dad?

You know, not happy about all that Bobby shit.

I don't want to hear any I told yourselves.

OK, well, I told you when I first met the dude that he was a clown. But you

know, you loved him.

He was just a street dude.

He couldn't handle the business while you were out here doing your pop star

shit. No one asked you here to shit talk, Kofi.

OK, but Bobby kept fucking up. And look what happened.

Your own lawyer killed him. Enough.

The lawyer is why I asked your trifling ass here in the first place.

What's the problem?

Even for my attorney, she knows too damn much.

And nobody steps in the way that she did, especially after she killed Bobby.

OK, so you asked me here to help you get rid of her?

Good.

When it's time.

I still have some unfinished business with Ms. Hernandez.

OK, well, I hope that business includes you accounting for that last shipment.

It's time to make moves.

Daniela Hernandez will be dealt with, but on my clock.

Your clock is running slow.

You got too much on your plate.

Let me run the business.

Mom and Dad put me in charge because you're too damn impulsive.

I know more than you, and we both know that.

Together, we will figure out the right moves.

Hernandez will go, but when I say, and not a second before.

All right, bitch.

You're the boss.

Say it one more time. No, I'm not saying it one more time. No.

I love you.

I love you.

Is that a new track for Jameson's album?

Maybe the second single.

So I don't see you for months, and then you just throw them in here?

I'm tired of Zoom calls.

Yo, give us the room.

So the coast is clear after Bobby's killing?

Miguel thinks so.

OK.

What's on your mind?

You, as the president of Black Gammon.

For the sake of the company, Ellis needs to step down.

He doesn't want to, but he doesn't have a choice.

Maybe.

We were as legendary as Motown once.

You know you want to be tied to that kind of history.

We talked about it before.

I have a successful label.

I'll think about it.

But first, we need to take care of Jamison. Why?

She's been quiet.

Where's this coming from?

Nobody ever sees her. That's why she's so successful.

She's playing you, Dee. And she thinks she's playing me.

She's got to go.

Go?

Go where?

She's too valuable to the label, Dom.

You know, there's a long list of artists whose albums sell skyrocket after their

death. 10 years later, still selling.

It won't be any different for her.

I'm meeting my wife for lunch. There she is right there.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Hello, darling.

Oh, there you are.

Sit.

I ordered your favorite IPA.

Yes, yes.

Some things never fail to satisfy.

I still say the same thing about you, sweetheart.

You little minx.

Are we just lunching or should I get a room?

You look like you could use some stress relief.

Ugh.

Daniela knows that Hunter divorced me right before he died and left his

bastard half his Criterium shares as I split them with my children.

I'm sure that Daniela is aware that she has controlling shares in the company.

Oh, she will be coming.

For a house of cards built 30 years ago, it lasted a hell of a long time.

So what are we gonna do?

The group wants me to take care of her personally.

Oh.

No. You are a respected lobbyist now.

You are not their hatchet man anymore.

They trust me.

Or they didn't until this Gabrielle Hernandez fiasco.

Hmm. Then you've got to be at your creative best.

Yeah. It has to look like an accident.

So, are you interested in this launch party for Black Hammond?

It's gonna be at James' club.

Won't Danielle be there?

I mean, she practically owns the label now.

So she'll have to be there.

This might be a chance for an accident.

I think you might be right.

Hello. Hello.

Any questions about our menu? I suppose we should order.

Yes, yes, indeed.

Well, well, what do we have here?

You got your own personal Dora Milaje, huh?

Come up, it's real.

I'm her sister, dumbass.

And I ain't a fan of yours or being here.

I asked you for a parlay, and you bring your army?

Look at the fake-ass Hollywood bullshit, dog.

You and I are locked in a Cold War, and we both know how those end.

With neither one of us winning.

So why build bombs when a bridge gets us both paid?

Truths.

Start by returning something that doesn't belong to you.

You know how this all started, right?

By your bitch-ass dead husband breaking into Daniela's house and taking photos.

You gonna let this bottom be to toss you like this?

Yo, Dora, take a pill.

Fuck you.

Now, does she get her shit back, or do we have to take it?

She'll get it back.

Then let's put all this mess behind us and get this money.

Agreed.

You ever want to start back up the side hustle? I could always use another

soldier.

You know, I might just be down for that.

All right, everybody relax.

Daytime.

Shit. We might even end up on the same team.

So what's going on?

I met with Jamison.

You did?

Yup. I told her I'm open to teaming up with her and her little drug operation.

Are you serious?

I'm going to let her think that I'm down to move weight.

And then when I return the product, that's when I'll do it.

Do it.

Look, I think I have a better plan.

OK. It involves one more piece of street shit from you.

Really? Yeah, really.

But then I want your oath. You're finished.

I like the sound of it.

Because I accept your offer to run Black Gammon.

Great. But only if you and me are together.

It's been killing me not to see you this whole time, Dee.

Dom, we've been over this.

I broke it off with Bella.

When? Weeks ago.

I realize I wasn't being honest with her or myself.

You're the only person I want to be with.

I'm with Josco now.

Would he die for you?

Because I would.

And I'd kill anybody trying to hurt you.

The only thing in this world I love, Dee.

you get

And there's nothing And I Spent

my

Danny, I am sorry, but there are still no updates on Sinjam.

But you have my word, I am working this case hard.

That's not why I'm here.

OK. You still want to make a run at Mayor?

Mayor and beyond.

Why? I have a plan that might get you there.

I'm all ears.

As you can see, the fans are thrilled to hear your new album. Do you have

something special for them? You know I do.

And it was produced with some special sauce by the hit maker, Dom Mayfield.

Well, I can't wait to hear the tracks.

I guarantee you're going to love it.

What the hell are you all doing here?

Come on, Grandpa.

Can't we be a family for one night?

Listen, old man, we are still black family board members. We have every

right to be here.

And I'll organize this whole thing.

It's been a goddamn fortune on it. I want you out.

I'm the MC. I've got to be here.

Fine.

But after this party's over, I don't want to see any of you.

This family is a hot mess.

I know.

Hey, Ross. Hey.

So, Warner Records is at the bar. Sony just settled into the VIP section.

All the heavyweight hitters are here.

Great. Good job. Thanks.

You look beautiful both. Psalm 1, Ruby.

You two look good together.

Good.

Hey, guys.

Hey, Faith.

This is so dope.

Can I go live?

OK, come on. Let's do this.

Hey, y'all. I'm at the Davidson Black Gammon lunch party with Cousin Daniella

and her girl Friday, Tamika.

We just arrived, and it is going to be crazy, right? That's right. Tamika?

Hey, everybody.

Okay,

I'll be right back.

It's a hell of a party.

It's just getting started.

Same here.

Yeah, don't you think you should slow down, Dad?

Say it.

I know you want to, but now it's a piece of shit.

Did you screw up?

Yeah. But remember what you taught me?

I taught you something?

It's what you do after you screw up that defines who you are.

It's a good lesson.

Are you sure it's going down tonight?

Positive.

But, Bev, no one can see or hear you guys, okay?

I really need this party to be successful.

This club has back and side entrances and hallways.

We'll be as discreet as we can.

Great. But don't wait till the last second just for the sake of the party. I

won't.

And Dom?

Talk to me after tonight.

Can you hear me okay?

Loud and clear.

So I saw you came here with Ray.

You two look good together.

He's transferring to Orange County so we can go public.

Will that ruin things for you?

Knowing the excitement of getting caught is gone?

Let's get this thing going. I don't want to be here all night.

Uh-oh.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Black Gammon Music's group launch party.

Tonight, we showcase our artist, beginning with an incredible performer

you all know, singing his first release on his new label.

Welcome, Jazico.

Maybe I should have known better than trying to be your umbrella.

See, you keep changing up the weather, thinking that I'll be around forever.

But this time when it rains, I will make the mistake of waiting for you to play

me like a boy toy.

Thought that you could really change.

But I see you still the same.

You know, Daniela did this.

You should be thanking her.

Thanking her for squeezing me out of my own company?

If it wasn't Baby Girl, we wouldn't be here.

And you wouldn't have Jazzy Cole, Extra, Jameson.

Hell, Carol might even be running the lady.

You know what else?

What?

Daniella is a show.

That's why she's so frat.

You know what I'm saying?

I'm the queen of this home. My body built like a palace.

My body built like a palace. I didn't think you'd show.

I'm a professional. I honor my commitments.

Jazz, I'm so sorry.

I just don't understand how you could do that.

Jazzico.

You good?

You two enjoy each other.

That was messy, Dom.

Life is messy.

Heads up.

Carol, Matthew.

Daniela. Dom, I'm Matthew Ren.

Carol's husband. Nice to meet you.

Matthew, darling, be a sweetheart and go get me a martini, would you please?

You know how I like it. Of course, of course.

Anyone else care for a drink?

No, thank you. I'm OK.

Don't excuse me.

Catch you in a bit.

What the hell are you doing here?

I called Jameson earlier to wish her luck on her new label, and she invited

me. I also shared condolences about the death of her husband at your hands.

Oh. Oh, my. I owe you condolences, too.

This felt awful about Gabrielle.

You're an evil bitch.

Teal warned me about you.

I should have listened. Yes, you should have.

But congratulations on your launch.

Enjoy it while you can.

Enjoy being the CEO of Criterion Deputies while you can.

How about a big hand for my grandson, Chauncey?

But we wouldn't be here if it weren't for my granddaughter, Daniela Hernandez.

Please, join me.

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Daniela Hernandez.

Not time for Daniela's accident.

I can't get on this stage.

Damn it.

This night belongs to the man, the legend, Mr.

Ellis Shaw.

He has inspired generations with his leadership at Black Gammon Records.

Grandpa, I couldn't be more proud that from this night forward, you are

trusting me to lead this label into the next generation.

But tonight is your night.

Everyone, Ellis Shaw.

She steps on that platform, you know what to do.

Gotta take care of something.

Now?

I got a call. I need to update you.

Ladies and gentlemen, she needs no introduction. The newest and most

dynamic artist to represent Black Gammon since Lila Shaw, Jameson.

That's right, okay,

okay.

Let's go!

So who called you?

Same as always.

No names, just instructions.

They're sending somebody.

What, here tonight?

Instructions at the clean house.

That's them right there.

Sorry, old friend.

They told me to start with you.

That's it.

Right here.

I make glitter falls, glitter falls, glitter falls, glitter falls, glitter

falls

Daniella. We have business.

I think you know what I'm talking about.

In the green room. It's cheapest now.

I'll be right there.

Now? Yeah.

Tell her I don't have the stuff.

Never did.

Of course.

Right here.

Oh, you're not taking my weapon.

I'll take a dick if I want to.

No gun, then get the fuck out.

Everybody, stand by.

Miguel, give her your gun.

Miguel, do it.

Give it to her.

No evidence.

Good.

When should I expect the return of my merchandise?

I understand you want to get your drug distribution network back on track.

But there's been some developments.

What kind of developments?

My client asked me to inform you.

He doesn't have your merchandise.

Never did.

Don't play games with me, Daniela.

If Dom's not prepared to return my 100 keys of cocaine, there's nothing to come

to terms with.

You're in possession of 100 keys of cocaine.

She will be, or there'll be some dead motherfuckers. I'm just the messenger.

You realize how easy

it would be to kill you right now?

I could drop you just as easy as I dropped that accountant, Sheila.

You killed Sheila?

I had no idea.

That's enough for me. Let's go. Now, move.

You also had no idea I sent Bobby to your house for those pictures.

I thought I could use them to control you, but I'll be damned. You're just

full of surprises.

And Dom, with all these games, what kind of detente can he expect when he finds

your body rotting in a fucking dumpster?

Listen to who's playing games.

You and I know your drugs are right here in this club.

This is where you stockpile them.

What the hell are you talking about?

We got it. Oh, Jamie, this has been required.

Everybody drop your weapons. Drop your weapons now. Do it.

What the hell is this?

Lady, hat's on your head. I'm not going to tell you twice.

Oh, Jamie, what'd I tell you? Goddamn.

Jamie, I'd like you or my lawyer to do something.

As your lawyer, I advise you to fully cooperate.

PD officers say you have a warrant to search your property.

Go ahead. Search. You won't find anything.

Except for a way out of the DA's office when my fans found out you guys busted

in on me like this.

Don't move. Stay still.

She just heard you confess to killing your accountant and threatening to kill

me. What happened to my attorney-client privilege?

Attorney-client privilege no longer exists when you send your husband to

kill your lawyer.

You've gotten so big, you think you can get away with anything and even brag

about it.

I was counting on that.

Look what the dog found.

It's a big-ass bone.

You set me up.

Daniela, I will kill you. You won't get away with this.

I just did.

These two are with me. Let them go for now. The rest of us will sit tight until

K-9 finishes their search. Yes, ma'am. Roger that. We will keep this quiet and

discreet.

Thank you, Bev.

I don't like taking risks like that, Daniela. We both could have been killed

back there. Yeah, but we weren't. Instead, we got what we needed and more.

We should be celebrating.

Did it work out?

Better than I ever thought.

We can talk now. I took the wire off in the bathroom.

Can I borrow you, baby girl? It's important.

Daniela, can you... She's safe with me.

I'll be right back.

We're back. We got to celebrate, don't we? Yeah, we do.

There you go.

All right.

So, what, were you gonna just dump me in the Angela's Crest? Or just leave me in

the alley like some piece of trash?

Or some piece of shit gangster?

What's going on?

This man right here was gonna kill Arnold until I stopped.

I wanted to kill him on the spot.

But first, he's got a story you need to hear.

Or I'm gonna break his kneecaps.

Is it about August 11th, 1989?

Okay, it doesn't matter.

I already failed twice. I'm not gonna get a third chance.

Father had a meeting with the group.

Send him.

Call him whatever you want.

Funny thing is, these people already had all the money in the world.

That's not about money.

It's about power.

We have to get them out! No!

Lila's right there!

And Daniela! I didn't see them, and I'm sorry, but nobody is walking away from

this. Lila's dead.

The girl's a loose end. You said we were just gonna talk to Hunter.

You didn't say we'd make him crash. She's the only way I was gonna get you

here.

You're a part of it now, Arnie.

Daddy!

The girl's innocent!

She's harmed no one.

I'll take her, Arnold.

She'll never be a problem.

I swear.

He sacrificed

enough.

Don't harm the girl.

It's done.

Am I gonna regret letting the kid live?

She will never be a problem.

You saved my life.

Now you see the consequence of loose ends. Shut up.

Who ordered you to kill my father?

Let him go. Get out of here.

He's responsible for Gabriela.

He's got to pay.

Now, you pull that trigger, and I'm going to kill him, and then I'm going to

kill you. Only after I kill Daniela. Get out of here, baby.

Just leave.

But... Let's go.

Make the call.

Damn it, I don't trust her.

Arnold, wait.

Be careful. She has a gun.

You need to leave too, baby girl. You don't need to see this.

Uncle Fly, the police are here.

Turn him into them.

If you kill him, you go back to prison. I don't care.

I need you in my life.

Please don't do this.

Any home ground?

Yes.

And before that, I just want to say how proud I am.

This was a hell of a launch party.

Still want me gone?

Fuck you, Alice.

Can't get by with a change in your pocket.

Better run fast when the man come a-knockin'.

No, it's never enough, never enough, no Never enough, never enough
