All language subtitles for The Kings of Napa s01e02 Shes Gotta Crush.eng

- Previously,
on the Kings of Napa...

- Family owns House of King
wines in Napa.

We haven't thought
about dessert wine.

- Let me think about it.

- Why do you entertain
her erroneous ideas?

- Oh, go to hell, Dana.
- Enough!

- My dad!

- Reginald saw fit that August
would be president.

- What?
- Why would my husband

borrow money from you?

- We had a baby!

- This is crazy! We're sisters?

- Did you know your brother
slept with her?

- Of course not, Vanessa.

- Kelvin?
- Don't, he's married.

- There's a lot more to this
than you know.

[distorted voice]: I expect
you'll keep up with

your father's payments.

- Forty-eight seconds
'til she's late.

- She's allowed to be
on CP time.

Think Spike Lee's on time
to set every day?

- He's early.
- I know.

I read it in his
Do The Right Thing book.

- Good morning.
How's everyone doing?

- Waiting for August.

It's like Waiting for Godot,
but more absurd.

- You doing okay, Mel?

- I'm hanging in there, honey.

- Holla, my beautiful
Black people!

Where's August?
- Five, four,

three...

- Hey, everybody.
Sorry I'm late.

- Embracing your inner
Easter egg I see?

- Nice dress.
- Thank you.

- You doing alright, sis?
- Yeah, yeah,

I'm good.

As you know, I want to bring
House of Kings into the future.

Help not only boost
our bottom line,

but make this place one of the
premiere vineyards in the world.

I say that we can do it,

but we have to buckle down.
Now, if we launch

our dessert wine
in the next six months,

we can achieve this
and I realize

that's a little fast,
but I'm coming up with

an innovative marketing plan
that will target millennials

and truly get this family
out of the hole.

- All this little
dessert wine fairy tale

could decrease our profit
margins by 17 percent,

making it harder to release

our Pino Grigio and Merlot
as planned.

- The return on our investment
will more than offset

the losses you're anticipating.

Plus, we can always access
our credit line.

- As CFO, I know that our credit
line is almost maxed out.

- We can work it out.

- Look, I'm not trying to
poo-poo on your parade,

but Dana's brilliant
with the company's finances

and predicting
our yearly profits.

Besides, millennials
don't drink wine,

they drink craft IPAs
and vape organic weed strains.

- Facts.

- Despite what Dana has to say,

we have no time to lose on this.

I believe it can work,
so it's all hands on deck.

- I'm already in the bottle
facility, sterilizing.

- But with Bridgette gone,
I also need you to make sure

that grapes are being
harvested correctly.

- Harvesting it up too, baby.

- Yvette, I need you
to work your game

and secure us a distribution
deal that will get this port

in Michelin restaurants
around the world.

[laughing]
- Shit!

A sister'll be travelling.
I'mma see Paris,

London, Beijing...

- Rose, I need a social media
PR campaign...

- ...the motherland, Bora Bora!

[laughing]

- ...that has influencers
around the world

under our influence.

- You know, when Reggie and I
built this place,

we said that people
were going to see

Black excellence in motion.

Wine, style, cuisine.

All of it.

- I heard that. Look...

I know this recent revelation

about Dad has been rough,

but we've got to build
on his legacy.

We must continue to show
the world that we are Kings.

Now, this new wine
could revolutionize us.

It's like Dad always said:
"Some people die on the vine,

but we're gonna thrive on it."

[theme music]

- Hey!
- Hmm.

- Great job back there.

- You're just saying that.

- No, I'm being serious.

You remind me of
my journalism days.

And I'm happy to see
you're still using that cream

that I gave you.

- Mom, the cream you gave me
is for hemorrhoids,

I used a concealer.
It gets the job done too.

[birds chirping]

- I'm throwing out
your father's things today.

- Mom!

You know you don't have
to move so fast.

You're allowed to mourn,
this is big.

- Honey, this land,
these grapes,

the endless bottles of wine,
it is my heaven, August.

And your father's large
omniscient ego stained that,

and it is something
that I need to remove.

- Mom, it's Dad.
It's your sister.

It's only been three weeks
since we buried him.

I mean, if you told us
that you wanted to hide out

at Canyon Ranch for the rest
of the year, we would get it.

- Don't be ridiculous.
I am fine.

- You're lying.

Maybe you need to unpack this
with Dr. Isaacs like I did.

- I don't need a therapist,
honey.

What I need is to get through
this gala tonight,

move on, and return
to my paradise.

- Mom. Let me accept Dad's
award. You should rest.

- No. You know, I have always
covered for your father

with these
nonprofit organizations,

and for once, I'd like to be
in the spotlight

for something I actually did.

But don't worry, though.
I'll go through the back,

say the damn speech,
and get out.

Now, what are you doing to pay
my deceitful sister back?

- I'm working on something
for Aunt Mel.

- Well, work harder, honey.
Focus on it like

you're a normal
30-something-year-old

who needs to find
her Prince Charming

before it's all too late,
like that.

- Too bad Kelvin's married
with a kid.

- And represents my sister.

- You know, the Black Sistas
Who Wine,

they're here for
their annual tour.

You sure you don't want me to
get someone else to do it?

- Nonsense. Honey, that is what

Black girl magic is for.

Pretend you're happy
even when you're not.

Besides,

I have a dessert wine
to champion.

Hey, ladies!

[phone ringing]

[distorted voice]: I want
$150,000 tonight.

8 PM at the park on Holman.

Put it near the big tree
with the two stumps

under the bridge.
Come alone.

- Who the hell is this?

You cannot keep calling me,
you know. What if I don't do it?

- Then I'll make
your life miserable,

just like your daddy's.
Do not test me, August.

[rhythmic music]

- I don't get it.

We were so close.

Why is Aunt Vanessa
taking this out on me?

- No idea. How's your mom doing?

- She's pacing all night.

Wants to go over there

and talk to her, but she's
afraid she's gonna get killed.

All this time, I knew

you were my cousin,
we were close.

But now that I found out
you're my sister,

I feel like we lost time.

- We didn't.
That's why we're so tight.

We unconsciously knew.

Studying wine together,
taking all the same courses,

that trip to Tuscany.
- Mm-hmm!

[laughing]

Yeah, and now we have
to meet up on a sneak tip

like we're star-crossed lovers.

- It's temporary.

Besides,

we're gonna have to figure
something out, because...

We're being extorted.

- Wait, what?

Way to bury the lead!
- I'm only telling you

because I don't want to freak

the family out.
They were shaking down Dad

and now, they want $150,000
by tonight.

- Wait, hold up. Uncle Reggie
was being squeezed? By who?

- Girl, who knows?
Our family is crazy.

We've got an out of pocket
brother handling

all our company's finances,

a grandmother in Paris
who never made it

to her son-in-law's funeral,
and now, we've got some psycho

shaking us down for money.

Who could be doing this?

- I don't know.
Everyone loved him.

- Had you ever seen him acting
odd or suspicious?

- I mean, he would
sometimes take calls

behind the production facility,

but I thought he just
needed space.

He was consistent
like an old clock.

- Rode his bike
on Saturdays...

- Even stuck to our
lobster roll schedule.

- Lobster rolls?

- He and I would go to
Sam's Shipyard once a month.

- Like a...
Like a standing date?

Huh... we never did that,

we only... did wine stuff.

- It wasn't a date,
it was more

so he could go to the bank.

- Wait, back up.

Dad hadn't been inside
of a bank for years,

he had a business manager.

- Yeah, and he went
to Napa Republic, trust me.

It's right across the street
from the restaurant.

- Come on.
- Where are you going?

They're not gonna let you just
break into his bank account.

- Like hell they won't!
I have his death certificate.

Come on. I'm not gonna
let anyone mess

with our father's legacy.

[sighing]

Jackpot. Our dad had
a secret account here.

He was making monthly

$150,000 withdrawals
for the last 10 months.

Where was he getting
the money from?

- Probably my mom.
We should ask her.

- What if we find out some
more things about our father

that we can't handle?

- Then we'll get through
this like we always have.

Together.

[birds chirping,
distant barking]

- Did you know our dad
was being extorted?

[sighing]
- Aunt Melanie,

now is not the time
to be tight lipped.

You were trying to warn me
outside the restaurant.

- Your father was under a lot
of stress,

okay? When he borrowed
that money from me

two years ago, he was paying me
back religiously.

I got a check every month.

But then this past year,
something happened,

and this strange person

started asking him for money.

- Did he ever go to the cops?

- He was too afraid.
Reggie didn't know if

it was a syndicate
or organized crime.

All he told me was that
he was under it.

- Why did he go to you
and not my mom?

- Because he was desperate not
to ruin her image of him.

- But he could get it in
with her little sister?

That makes total sense.

- Did the caller ever say
what he would do

if my dad didn't pay?

- Whoever it was had a detailed
map of the vineyard.

Reggie thought he'd get in there
and hurt you guys.

- House plans too?
- Everything.

- What do you want to do?

- Continue the payments.

If our dad thought he could get
out of it, he would have.

- But there's no more
money left.

- I have $75,000 I can give you.

- No, we already owe you.

Let me talk to Dana.

Uh... Not yet.

[door opening]

♪ Getting down and dirty
I know nothing's out of reach ♪

♪ Prove to only me
I'm worthy... ♪♪

- Okay, ladies! Cheers!
Bring it up, bring it up!

Congratulations, my girl.

Love is in the air!
Help yourself to some chicken

and waffles and take a walk
around the vines,

you'll love it.
- Alright!

- Your bachelorette dinner is
at seven on the brim.

[women chattering indistinctly]

- Are you ready to be a missus?

[cheering]

[sighing]

- Hey.

- Oh, hey.

- I saw all the boxes
of Reggie's

you packed up in his office.

He sure did read a lot.

I should grab a few of them.

The only thing I read
is the good book.

- Sure, yeah,
take what you want.

- You alright, Vanessa?

- I'm just worried.

[distant laughter]

You know, I was
not planning this.

I thought we had another
30 years,

and now, he's dead,

and he took the first
30 years with him.

- Nothing can take away the life
you and Reggie had together.

- And that damn Melanie.

When I think about her,

I want to scream.

She implied that
she was seeing him!

- You can't think about what
she said or didn't say!

You gotta rise above the drama.

- She hasn't called you,
has she?

I just, I couldn't bear it

if you were talking to her.

- Girl, I am here for you
and only you.

But...

What's this about Bridgette?

Y'all had a good relationship.

- No, I cannot deal
with her right now.

Sometimes,
there's casualties in war,

and her mother threw an IED
at our family,

and that is not my fault.

[sighs]

- Ooh! You couldn't hit the side
of a fermentation tank

with a tennis racket!
Boom, get dunked on!

- Don't talk all that smack,

I'm still finna be king
around here.

- Speaking of smack, can you
believe August this morning?

Who died and made her king?

- Actually, Dad did both,

but more like a wolf version
of Lion King.

You're just mad because
she was giving you instructions

like a grade school teacher.

- I just hate that
he made her president.

What happened to
the good old days

where he could've married her
off for a goat and a dowry?

[chuckling]

- Bro, you better get
used to it.

Unlike you, I have nothing
to worry about,

because August likes me.

- You need to focus
on those vines.

- How hard can it be? Shit,
I'm Bacchus, the god of wine.

All I gotta do is give orders.

- Shouldn't you two be working?

- Do you need anything,
your highness?

A late, a massage?

A muzzle for Dana?

- No, I'm good,
but I need you to step

so I can talk to him.

- This is my room.

- And?

- You're hear her.

She's the president,
get to stepping.

- Okay. I see how it is.

Y'all handle your corny
executive stuff.

I'm about to test drive
a new Tesla with my boy, Elon.

- You need to be
on the vineyard.

Hurry up, shower

and get to work.

- Okay.

- What's up?

- I need to talk to you,
away from the enterprise.

It's about Dad.

[birds chirping]

- Wow. You're only
30 minutes late, Christian.

Should we slow clap?

Or give you a standing ovation?

- Very funny, old man,

but I'm here to get
my viticulture on.

- Your family's had this place
for over 15 years,

and you've only ever come out
to the vines once

when you tried to grow weed.

- Weed and shrooms.
Don't get it twisted.

- We got everything
under control, Young Gun.

Why don't you go buy yourself

another gold chain?

3 Chainz...

- Yo, I'm feeling major
shade here.

- Just giving you the light,
my brother. Walk in it.

Hey! Start managing canopy
on that row.

And mark any damages!

[hip-hop music]

- What do you mean,
"We're being extorted"?

Did Dad have another baby mama?

- Dana, this is serious!
- You don't think I know that?

How could you go to her
before me?

- Bridgette told me
about the secret account!

- I'm the CFO.
- Yeah, Dana, I know.

I read your license plate
and your mug.

- As your blood brother,
I suggest we let the authorities

handle this.
- Aunt Melanie

said that Dad was scared
whoever this was

would hurt us.

- Have you had a lobotomy?
You went to Melanie too?

What kind of president are you?
- One who knows

she doesn't need to run
all her decisions by the CFO.

- This is deeper than you think,
Dana.

- Okay, back off,
Tia and Tamara.

We can't keep paying ransom.

Hostage negotiators
never keep paying,

because then, you become
the prey of the person

shaking you down.

[phone ringing]

[distorted voice]: Your mom
doesn't waste any time

taking out the trash, does she?

I'd hate for something

to happen to her while she's
getting her groove back.

- Are you at our house?

Answer me!

- Like father, like daughter.

Getting testy.

- Who the hell is this,
you shit?

You can't come to our house.
We're calling the police.

And when I catch your ass,

you're gonna wish
you never crossed us.

- I wouldn't do that
if I were you.

- And why is that?

- It's gonna take you three
minutes to complete a call

with the operator, and 13
for the police to arrive.

- Who the hell is this?
Do you know who we are?

- Imagine what I can do when
I'm only three minutes away

from grabbing
your mother's throat.

But hey, love the garden.

- Did they just threaten
Aunt Vanessa?

We need to pay them tonight.

- Dad's getting honoured.

- Dana, they are outside
our goddamn house.

We don't have a choice.

[applause]

- Thank you so much.

I humbly accept
the Oakland Activist

Patron of the Year Award,

on my husband
Reginald King's behalf.

My life partner

was a loyal, honourable
human being

from the beginning to the end.

[applause]

And if he told you something,

you knew it was true.

[woman]: Right.

- And that he meant it
with love and with care.

- I went past her room
last night,

she was just laying
there frozen.

- Mmm... That's why we can't
tell her what's going on.

The minute she finds out
that Dad was making

monthly $150,000 ransom payments
and we're continuing with it,

she'll break.

Why do people die and leave
their house a mess?

We shouldn't have
to clean this shit up.

- I thank you so much.
[applause]

Thank you.

[crowd whistling, applause]

Thank you.

Thank you so much.
Thank you.

[indistinct chattering]

I cannot keep up this charade.
Get me out of here.

- Yeah, of course.

Christian, Yvette,
take Mom home.

We'll sit through the dinner.

- And skip the dry
chicken breast

and unseasoned mashed potatoes?

You don't have to ask me twice.

[chuckling]

- You sure you have
this covered?

- Yes. Go pay that crook.

Handle this before it destroys
everything we worked for.

[rhythmic music]

[cars honking]

- Did you ever think Dad
was under this kind of pressure?

- Shit, just being a Black man
driving a $100,000 car

makes you scared to go outside.

- That's why I came prepared.
- What?

- What the hell, Bridgette?

- My mom gave it to me,
just in case.

- Aunt Melanie had a gun?

- Annie Oakley
was really out here.

- Oh.

- That's where they told me
to put it.

- Well, go on, then.

If something happens,
I'll be in charge.

[scoffing]

[suspenseful music]

- See? It wasn't that bad.

- Let's just hope the caller
wasn't watching us.

[twig snapping]
What was that?

- Hey, come on. We gotta go.

[hip-hop music]

- What in the Buddha?

- I'm just trying
to keep my mind right.

- Well, you're doing good, baby.

Your mom's asleep?

- Knocked out after some grub
and a bottle of Prosecco.

All of this is taking a toll.

I keep thinking Pops
is gonna come back

from some business
meeting and...

everything will be
the same again.

- Well...

You know he wanted you
out there on those vines.

How's it going?
[Christian sighing]

- Harvesting ain't no joke,
Auntie.

Folks got me out there sweating
like Lupita in 12 Years a Slave.

[laughing]
And the workers,

they don't even
respect me either.

I feel like I'm at the bottom

and I'm finna be
the mascot of the family.

- Reggie realized
as he got older

that being at the rock-bottom

taught you lessons that
mountaintops never will.

- But how do I get
these mofos on my vibe?

- Do something nice
for your peeps.

If they know that
you appreciate them,

they'll have your back.

- Alright, I gotta plan
something cool.

- Uh, where's my Show Stoppa?

That's my boy.

- Go straight out
the bottle with it.

[laughing]

- My nephew!

[rhythmic music]

Ooh! Show Stoppa!

[Dana]: It's crazy that Dad's
been paying this guy

this whole time.

- I just don't get why Dad
didn't tell Mom

about any of this.

She loved him. I mean,

why only tell
Aunt Melanie about it?

- Gee, I don't know.

Perhaps their love wasn't
as reciprocal as we believed.

- We were still
a family, though.

- And could've been a lot
stronger if he had just

told us the truth.

[laughing]
- Stronger family.

If Dad cheated on Mom,

there's no way we can continue
being a family.

- Oh, my God! August?

[Bridgette]: Is that
Kelvin's wife?

- I cannot believe
what I'm seeing right now.

The August King,
and look at you.

You look amazing.
- Oh, don't!

[chuckling]

- Oh my gosh, hey!
Bridgette and Dana!

You guys look so great, wow!

You're all grown up, too.

- Hey, Sonya.

Uh, you know, Sonya,

we're a little busy
right now, so...

- All good, didn't mean
to interrupt. Just...

Just you and me,
we'll get together.

Bye!

[Bridgette]: She's so bitchy.

- I can't believe she popped
a kid out of that hot bod.

- You're eyeing her body
while we're going through this?

- Whatever!

Dad wasn't happy.

He covered it up by overworking
at the hospital,

putting on a good face,
talking to everyone around town,

showering us with gifts,

and treating our mom
like a queen

while hiding a double life!

Hell, when Bridgette
came into the picture,

he had another lie to carry.

- Are you saying
Uncle Reggie didn't want me?

- No, I'm saying...

it's better to be
slapped with the truth

than to be kissed with a lie
by him every night.

- We were kids back then.
I get that part.

- No. You don't get it.

We were loyal to him,
I was loyal to him.

And more than anything,

the saddest part about the lies,
all of them,

is that they don't come
from an enemy,

they came from our father.

An enemy that
we didn't even know.

A damn traitor.

- Dana, you're spiralling.

You're not thinking straight.
If you tell Mom,

it will destroy her.

- No, I'm thinking
quite clearly.

I don't want to keep
this a secret.

I've changed my mind.
Screw this, I'm done!

And this family's gonna
know what's going on.

- Dana, what are you doing?

- He's going to tell
Aunt Vanessa, isn't he?

[dramatic music]

[rhythmic music]

- Dana, I think you're right.
You should tell your mom

about the extortion.

- I know, I have
to figure out when.

- Do it now, this will
show you're a leader.

- Hey, where were y'all
last night?

I didn't hear you come in.

- We stopped at a diner.

The food at the ceremony
was horrible.

- Diner? I thought
you hated diners.

- Mrs. King, I believe
we should discuss

what actually happened
last night.

- What happened last night?

- Dana, you want to tell her?

Just tell her.

- Mom...

Dad was...

- Dana, Dad always said,
"Family first."

What happened last night?

- Dad was...

- Helping kids in Oakland
to pay for college.

- August...
- What?

- That's why he got all that
money from Aunt Melanie.

- Mmm-hmm.
- He's giving.

He was a giving man.

- Why didn't he tell me?

- Oh, he probably thought
you'd think

his philanthropic efforts
were blinding him.

- Dana, really?

- Well, thank you, Rose.
I suppose if she hadn't told me,

I wouldn't have known.
- We were gonna tell you.

- When?
- I don't know, Mom.

I'm sorry, we just wanted
to keep Dad's image

as intact for you as it can be.

- No. No more sorries,
no more secrets.

And in case you forgot,
I'm on the board.

And if you can't get
this company back on track

in the next six months,
we'll vote you out.

And we will pick someone
to run this company

who tells me the truth.

Okay?
- Okay.

- Now, take your food to go
and do your job!

[sighing]
Yeah.

And you too, Dana. This company
has gotta stay afloat.

What the hell is going
on around here?

- Oh!
[objects clattering]

Shit!

[sighing]

[intriguing music]

[sighing]

- Question, Kelvin.

What are the legalities
of someone

blackmailing you for ransom?

- Well, that's extortion,
August.

It's a federal crime.
Is there something going on?

- No. No, I'm just
thinking out loud.

- Are you sure?
You can talk to me.

I've known you
since high school,

I know when something's up.

- You know, I'm good.
I'm good.

Let's just focus on why I came.

Where are we
with the Melanie thing?

- Oddly, I just got a call
from her this morning.

She wants to revise
the agreement

she previously offered.
Said she's concerned

about a situation you,
Bridgette, and the family are in

and wanted to make sure
paying her back

wasn't too much of a burden.

- Are you kidding me?

- Just start paying her back
according to plan

and she'll take it on good faith
that you'll get Bridgette

her job back
as soon as possible.

- Yes, of course.

- All you have to do
is sign this.

Here you go.
- Thank you.

[sighing]

So, that's it?

- Yeah.

Now...

When can I start seeing
the other August?

- Wow.

Wow! You really are just like
every other married brother

trying to step to some single
girl to get your swag back.

It is not my fault

that you decided to jump
the broom with some woman

you clearly don't love,
or even like.

I mean, what were you expecting?

We'd grab a couple drinks
and hook up doggy-style

at the hotel like we did
after the prom?

No, no, no.

I can't go out like that.

I will not be
someone's leftovers,

while your wife, who I saw
last night, by the way,

gets the main course.

I am the whole damn restaurant.

- Are you finished?
- Oh, you have something to say?

- I'm separated, August.

And I ain't never lost my swag.

[nervous laughter]

- But your wedding ring.

- You know, maybe I should've
put my stuff on Instagram

so the whole world could see
my marriage fall apart,

but the truth is I didn't
feel like dating,

so I left it on.

[scoffing]

- Why didn't you tell me?

- I was just trying
to suss you out.

I didn't know if you
were with somebody or not.

Are you single?

- Uh...
[laughing]

- Is that a yes?

No?

[laughing]

- You'd like to know,
wouldn't you?

[door closing]

- Bridgette? What up, girl?
I mean...

How did you even
get past security?

- I need to see August,
it's important.

- Yo, homegirl bounced,
but in the meantime,

can you tell me why
Otis always acts

like he got something
stuck up his ass?

- I don't have time
to play vineyard

tutor with you right now.
Just... get some Cliff Notes.

- Word, they have
Cliff Notes on wine making?

- What's going on?

[distant vacuuming]

- I need to talk to you.

Privately.

[dramatic music]

- Is this about the family?

- I found something.

It's really delicate.

Especially with all the secrets
we're hiding from Aunt Vanessa.

But that means you really have
to help me get my job back.

You know I'm your only
ally in this house.

- I'm going to help you
get your job back.

- It's deeper than
we could have imagined.

And I'm sorry.

- What is this?

My dad wrote Aunt Melanie
love letters?

- And she sent him mix tapes.

- Oh, my God.

If my mom found this,
she would--

- Show it to me.

Give it to me, now.

[dramatic music]

"Dear Melanie, I know it's...

been a long time,

but I've been thinking
about you and us,

and the last time we..."

[door opening]

- Mom, the Lovely Sistas
Who Wine

and came all the way
from Baltimore

have been waiting for you
in the tasting room.

We need to...
- Yeah, uh...

Dana, I'll handle it.

- You've done enough,
don't you think?

- Aunt V...
- And this!

This is how you repay me?!

- Mom, she was just trying to...
- Oh!

- Mom. Mom, what are you doing?

- Mom. Mom!

[distant laughing]
- Is that inappropriate?

[indistinct conversations]

[laughing]

[indistinct chattering]

- Ladies.

Please accept
my sincere apologies,

but I have some cardinal
advice to get off my chest.

Don't you ever give up
your dreams for a man.

See, I was a journalist
who could've been

Barabara Walters by now.

I was gonna write books,
win a Pulitzer, but no!

I traded it all in
to have a family

with a brother who not only
stepped out on me,

but he put his single-minded,
no-good crusty package

into my sister.

- What?
- Oh!

You heard me. My sister.

My ride-or-die bestie

sat on my husband's big dick!

- Mom, Mom!
- Damn!

She's spilling all the tea!

- And then, ran over my heart
with an Amazon truck

full of Jeff Bezos' money.

With that,
this is the end of my tour.

And I wish you all safe travels
back to Baltimore,

and we'll see you next year!

And remember, the House of Kings
is about Black excellence,

and infidelity.

[gasping]

Don't you forget that.

You...
- Cheers!

- Bridgette.

[nervous laughter]
- Thank you, sisters.

Uh, complimentary bottle
of House of Kings wine

on your way out.
We'll see you next time.

[dramatic music]

- I'm just so confused!
Did he love her more than me?

- Of course not, Vanessa.

[cellphone rings]
- Oh.

[distorted voice]:
I said come alone.

Disobey me again and I will
make sure your family suffers.

- You cannot keep calling me.

We paid you, you shit!

- Tell your mom I left her
some chocolates by the bed,

would you? Seems like
she needs a little comfort.

- Mom, stop.
You're eating too much.

- What, are you shaming me
during my grief?

They were on my bed, honey!
- I'll make you a fruit salad.

Thomas Keller
gave me his recipe.

- When your sister goes down
on your husband,

fruit doesn't cut it!
Trust me! Give it to me!

- No. No. Trust me.

[sighing]

Dana,

the caller was in here.

We've gotta amp up our security.

- I'll make some calls.
- They're crazy.

- Then, we'll have to work
together on this.

- And what about Bridgette?

She wasn't here trying
to make things worse, Dana.

She was trying
to prove her loyalty.

- She did more damage.

- But she's not the enemy,
she's family.

- August, I know you want
to bring Bridgette back,

but if she walks back
in this house, Mom will kill her

and then herself.
So, you better handle this,

or I will.

[rhythmic music on speakers]

- Yo, yo!
Figured I'd boost some morale

with my Show Stoppa
bourbon and wings

before we get all
down and dirty.

- There's no drinking
on the job.

Everyone, get to work.

[music stops]
- Yo.

I thought that this
would be dope.

These guys have been coming
in and out

every hour,
working their asses off,

you haven't rewarded
them with nothing.

- I reward them with a check.

Besides, you want our team
guzzling down alcohol

before utilizing machines
that can kill someone?

Wake up, Christian!

You got big shoes to fill.

Either wear them
or give them to me.

[door opening]

[door closing]

- Hey!

Thought I'd have to bring
your plate to your room.

You joining me tonight?

- No, I've got a painting to do.

- What's going on?

Did something happen
at the drop-off?

- I saw you
and your pen pal's stuff.

The letters my dad sent you,
the mix tapes.

What were you thinking?

- Where did you get that?

- Next time, don't store
your crap in my house.

- Please don't tell me you
showed them to the Kings.

Why didn't you come to me?!

- Because they're my family!

They're gonna take care of me,
they're gonna bring me back

and when they do, I'm gonna make
sure they leave you

high and dry, because they
don't owe you a damn thing

and neither do I.

[knocking]
- Bridgette, honey...

Bridge.
[knocking on door]

- Hey, you okay?

- Can I come in for a second?

- Yeah.

[sighing]

What's going on?

- You know, Dad used to say,
"Decisions aren't made

when things are black and white,
they're made...

when they're gray."

Having you back on the vineyard
isn't gonna work, Bridge,

I'm sorry.
[sighing]

- Aunt Vanessa is punishing me
because my mom...

Let me talk to her.
- This is... my decision.

I can't hurt my mom.

- Wait... Did you even
ask her if I could come back?

- I couldn't after you
came over with the letters.

- I thought we were supposed
to be best friends, sisters!

- We are. You're just
gonna have to trust me.

- Trust you?

This is my life, August.

- If I bring you back,

my mom will have a breakdown
and Dana will have

all the ammunition he needs.

This is my legacy now, Bridge.
- It's mine, too!

And if I have to be against you,
then I will.

[sighing]

You're destroying
everything he's built.

You'll never be like Dad.

- That is not fair.

- Get out.
Get the hell out!

[melancholic music]

[soft rhythmic music]

- Guess what?

[chuckling]

I'm put on...

your favourite bra.

- Oh!

[laughing]

- Let's do something dirty.

- I've got to work.

- And we've got a baby to make.

Don't you want to fertilize me?

- With August's inept
leadership,

I've got to take over
before things get worse.

I can't deal with her
in charge anymore.

[laughing]

[sighing]

- You want to crush her?

- Destroy her.
- Hmm!

And what...

do you have in mind?

[chuckling]

[door opening and closing]

- My girl. My only girl.

You did good.

[chuckling]
How did you know?

- Oh! We are family.

That's a Sister Sledge song.

- Yeah.
- You know that.

[knocking on door]
[Melanie]: Vanessa!

[knocking on door]

Vanessa! Where is my sister?

- Well...

What a blessing for you
to arrive unannounced, Mel.

Clearly that's a muscle memory
both you and your daughter

need to undo.
- Look.

I know we have issues,

but you cannot
mess with my child.

You guys have to give her
her job back.

Vanessa, you know that
depression runs in our family,

I've never seen
my kid like this.

This could kill her!

[chuckling]
- Boo fucking hoo.

Cry me river and use it
to sail your way back

to Africa, or wherever the hell
it is you call home.

Do you think I care

about you and your daughter's
relationship?

You will destroy that
on your own,

just like you destroyed
everything else.

But here is a little love letter

you can read along the way:

if my daughter wanted
Bridgette back,

I would've supported her
100 percent.

But unlike your tired,
classless, conniving butt,

I have a daughter
who respects me.

- Vanessa! We had an agreement!

[dramatic music]

- Business is hard, honey.

But family is a beast.
