Star (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 12 - Showtime - full transcript
Okay so this is what
happened before on Star...
There was nerve damage
to your spinal cord.
It's unlikely that you
will walk again, Derek.
I'm pregnant.
Hey, girl, I took your cash
to set myself up.
Payback is a bitch.
- I need a fake I.D.
- Plan on robbing a bank or something?
The less you know, the better.
- Where's the money, Jahil?
- There ain't no money.
I have no idea where
he took those girls.
Oh, so you understand us,
you just don't speak
it that well.
Is that why you came here
to America, for a job?
You trying to poach my girls?
Nah, nah, nah, he ain't
finna do nothing.
- Don't move, against the wall.
- You're under arrest
for the murder of Otis Leecan.
I could claw my way into
much better than our world.
Lord, it's a calli, these
girls coming to me.
As much for me as
it is for them.
And now I might be losing 'em
to that Satan named "Fame."
- But thy will be done.
- _
Hey, Alex.
I had a dream last night
about Atlanta NextFest,
and we won.
Alex?
Are you okay in there? You got
morning sickness or something?
It's me, Simone.
What you doing here? Why
aren't you at your new place?
I had to come and get you.
We got a big day ahead of us.
Girl, you telling me?
I dreamed about it all night.
We're gonna slay.
You bet your ass we are.
And nobody's gonna stop us.
Nobody.

What are you doing here?
I got another kid I
don't know about?
Detective Batista called.
He got some more questions,
I'm guessing about you.
What, you're the best character
witness they could find?
I'm screwed.
I got you, Jahil.
Who got you out?
Hunter posted bond.
So you tell those girls
I got pulled down here?
They already rattled enough with
that Atlanta NextFest thing.
Good.
No, they need to stay focused.
Doesn't look good, Lottie.
They, uh, they got
an anonymous tip.
Someone saw my car that night.
Tips don't stick, man.
They're telling me they got
blood in the trunk of the ride,
so... I don't know if
they're bluffing or not.
- Doesn't look good...
- Oh, my God,
I'm so glad you're out, Jahil.
I was so worried, I
didn't sleep last night.
You look pretty
well-rested to me.
You know, we took
you in like family,
and you played us.
You weren't that hard to play.
And, yes,
I speak English really good!
Eva, what are you...
what are you doing?
I speak English real well.
Keep her away from me.
Why you talking to
her like that, huh?
What the hell's wrong with you?
- I'm tired of her Jesus praising...
- You know what?
She's walking in there to try
to save my ass, all right?
I'm sorry, I'm just pissed.
Star has everyone in that
salon turned against me.
And you.
You know she's the one who
called the cops on you, Jahil.
Come on, now.
Star's a cold,
calculating bitch,
but she ain't gonna
set me up for murder.
Ever since we tricked her into
getting me back on the group,
she wants you out,
and she has everyone
wanting that.
No, you're stretching.
I heard 'em talking.
All right, look, just
go to rehearsal.
I'll take care of it.
Hey, sexy.
How long you been over there?
I'm scared about
this baby, Derek.
I know you said that...
you'll do whatever
I want, but...
I don't know what I want.
Yeah, you do.
You want me.
Right?
Hey, D. How you feeling?
What's up? What are
you even doing here?
I'm getting my bottom
surgery tonight.
All this pre-op
work takes longer
than the actual operation.
Cotton!
It's going down!
I'm gonna have a
custom-made kitty cat.
Me-ow.
Well,
- go get to rehearsal.
- I'm going.
And please tell that lazy-ass
nurse to bring me some food.
'Cause I'm hungry.
One more.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Atlanta NextFest.
Whoo.
Hey.
Thanks for bailing me out, huh?
Hey.
What's the matter with you?
I-I did it, Unc.
What are you talking about?
What did, what did you do?
I-I punched her.
I...
I punched Star.
Are you out of your
damn mind, huh?
You're a grown-ass man!
You don't ever put
your hands on her!
I love her, man.
What's the matter with you?
You're just like your old man!
Damn, sobrino.
Hey.
Hey. Shh.
What am I gonna
do with you, hmm?
I love her.
Just need you to sign this,
Ms. Leecan, then we can release
your husband's remains.
Excuse me.
I'm Carlotta Brown,
Simone Davis' guardian.
You Ruth-Anne Leecan?
How is Simone?
How you sleep at night?
How you let that child
get raped like that?
I didn't.
- But I couldn't...
- What?
You couldn't-couldn't what?
Pick up a phone?
Couldn't find a conscience?
What?
I'm sorry.
I'm... so sorry.
Yeah.
You are sorry.
Who'd you attempt to
beat up this time?
If you look like that,
I can only imagine what
the victim looks like.
Yeah, Star apparently
got into a fight
with some thot over Hunter.
Thot, thot!
Thot, thot, thot.
How's Derek?
Yeah, you decide
to keep the baby?
Would you really bring
this baby on tour?
Yo, we could braid its
hair just like Derek's.
I'm so serious.
- Shut up.
- What?
Y'all would have
really pretty babies.
No, but for real,
she has to think
about her future.
Our future.
Hmm.
Okay, so what would you do if
you were me, Ms. Know-it-all?
I would go back to New York
and get my credit cards
back from my father.
I'm sorry, you meant
about the baby.
I would get it right,
that's what I would do.
But...
Derek is good people.
So, if y'all decide to
keep this little nugget
- that's in here somewhere...
- Stop.
I think y'all would be
really good parents.
Regardless of...
the kind we all got.
And I mean all of that.
But I'll never baby-sit.
- All right, let's go to rehearsal.
- Mm-mm, not yet.
No, ma'am.
- Y'all got to help me open.
- Why would we do that?
'Cause Carlotta's downtown
talking to the po-pos.
- About what?
- Jahil.
They got him down there
on Otis's murder.
Oh, my God.
Come on.
- Wait, it's Big Boi.
- What's he saying?
He wants us to meet
us at his office.
He doesn't want
us to tell Jahil.
The girls are here, Big.
Show them in, Okiko.
What's up, Big?
What's up, thirsty girls?
So what's so urgent?
If you give me a minute,
I'm gonna tell you.
What's up?
Mamacita.
I expect y'all heard about
Jahil's indictment?
It's not a good look,
especially the day
of Atlanta NextFest.
I got some good news.
Jahil's indictment makes y'all
contract null and void,
thanks to a little clause
called force majeure.
It's what Moses was
talking about.
Jahil's out,
- and I'm in.
- All right.
- Word.
- Atlanta NextFest is the first step.
If y'all lock that up...
That's on lock.
Let's talk about the future.

¿Qué pasa?
Big's our new manager.
What?
They need me.
So they force majeure-d
your ass out.
Is this true?
I busted my ass for you all.
You don't understand...
Oh, I understand.
I killed myself to
get you all here,
and now you're gonna play
me off for this weak ass
- right here?
- Your ass was in jail
and he offered to take us on.
What...
And so what? You didn't
just jump now? Huh?
What was we supposed
to do, Jahil?
Wait for you to post bail?
This is the biggest
night of our lives.
I tried to warn you.
You're the one that
called the cops on me,
- you little snitch.
- Boy, stop!
You got yourself locked.
Get your hands off me!
- Get his ass out of here.
- This ain't even close to being over.
Go somewhere and get high.
Excuse me.
Jahil.
Jahil.
Wait.
I rode hard for you, Star.
Save it.
You got what you
wanted and so did I.
What the hell are
you talking about?
You double-crossing me with Eva,
that's what I'm talking about.
Don't ever come at me
talking about loyalty.
Yeah, I put her in the group.
So what?
You going to the cops?
That's next level, Star.
- You really think I did that, huh?
- Yeah, I do.
I ain't a snitch, Jahil.
You don't get anywhere where
I'm from snitching on people.
You should know that.
You got rid of Otis for us.
And you protected my sister.
Why would I try to
get you hemmed up?
Huh?
You got that girl sleeping
in your damn bed, Jahil.
What are you doing?
I warned you to stay away
- from him, huh?
- Deal with your own drama.
I told you to stay
away from him, right?
I'm a big girl. I
can handle Hunter.
Can you? 'Cause the
Star I thought I knew,
she was lethal.
I guess we both lost our way.
Baby girl, you didn't
even know what direction
you were headed in
before you met me.
Look, I am who and I am, I don't
make no excuses for that.
I like to get high once in a while.
So what?
But you?
You don't even know who
the hell you are anymore.
If you're not okay with
Big Boi, I'll quit.
I don't want you upset.
It was you.
Wasn't it?
What are you talking about?
You called the cops.
Why would I do...
You're the only one who could
place my car at that site.
I didn't tell anyone else
where I buried that body.
- Jahil...
- You brought me back to my roots!
You brought me back to my music.
You brought me back to me!
I opened myself up to you.
How could you think that?
I fell in love with you, Jahil.
You saved me. How could I...?
Jahil.
You know I love you.
You know this is real.
You know it.
How can you think this about me?
I could never do that
to you, you know it.
I got to get out of here.
I'm going for a walk.
Stupid ass.
♪ You know exactly what to say ♪
♪ You're so clean, I mean that ♪
♪ You're so fresh, baby... ♪
I'm telling you, soon as
y'all hit that stage,
y'all gonna blow The Shade
Room up like a neutron bomb.
That's the kind of
shade I actually want.
Jahil gonna bust up
in here any minute
wanting these girls hair done.
We fired him, Miss C.
You what?
Who you been fighting? Again?
Bruce, can you please
just worry about my hair?
All I got to do is throw
some powder on it.
- Hey.
- Hey, Cott.
- Cott, what's up?
- So all the costumes
for tonight are
packed and ready.
Well, all of them
except Star's hoodie.
Damn it.
I think I brought that
to me and Hunter's.
I'm sorry, Cott. I'll get it.
Won't they get all
wrinkled in there?
Girl, don't you even
worry, boo-boo,
there's a steamer upstairs
and I'll pack it for you.
And then I'm off
to the hospital!
Oh, my God!
It's today!
Yes. I got to check in
early before the op.
I mean, you could've
picked any other day.
But I'm so happy for you. Girl.
You coming, Miss C?
We got you backstage
passes and everything.
After all he did for y'all?
He could go to jail for
something somebody else did.
And you talking about
backstage passes.
I said I'm sorry.
You always saying you sorry
and I never feel it.
That's why you came up here?
How you get the cash for
that surgery so quick?
20 grand in one day?
How many times you have
to turn yourself out
to get that kind of paper?
Cotton, it kills me
to see you like this.
Hey, that's good.
'Cause the next time you see me,
it'll be for the first time.

You have one new message.
It's doll, it's Arlene.
They know, Jahil.
They know about those
girls you set free.
There's nowhere to hide now.
They're coming for you.
Trying to cover this bruise up.
It's a tough one.
Yeah, what else are you
trying to cover up, Star?
Look, you can barely see it if I
just wear my hair like... Stop.
Hunter did that to
you, didn't he?
Why are you crying, Simone?
You really think I would
let a man hit me?
For real?
Can't believe you would
play like that. Stop.
Why are you lying to me?
I know you. You're my sister.
Yo, I'm about to kill his ass...
No, you are not. No,
you are not, Simone.
You're not gonna do anything
because he's not worth it.
How could you let
someone do that to you?
You of all people should know
that you don't "let it happen."
Simone, I'm done with him.
All right?
I'm done with him.
Star, where are you going?
I'm going to Hunter's, that's
where I left my hoodie,
and I need it for NextFest.
Are you out of your damn mind?
What if he tries to
do something again?
I hope he does.
Star!
- I'll see you at NextFest.
- Star, please.
Hey.
I felt bad about how I came
at you at the station.
Can we talk?
How did you know
where to find me?
Never mind that.
What do you want?
Otis.
He used to beat you, didn't he?
And?
And I know how scared you
were for the babies.
I mean, if that
monster came at them
the way he came at Simone...
Get out.
Come on.
Woman-to-woman.
You knew Otis was
coming for Simone.
You knew it and
you followed him.
You wanted to make
sure he found her,
so he would never come after
you and them girls, ever.
I mean, you-you were there, at
the hair show, weren't you?
You did what you had to do.
What he did,
to Simone...
to me.
But not my babies.
No.
As soon as Simone left,
he started in on them.
And I couldn't.
I wouldn't let him
hurt my babies.
I killed that bastard.
And I'd kill him again if his
black ass was still alive.
Oh, baby.
I'm so glad you came back.
I really need to...
Really?
Come on, put that down.
Put it down, Star.
Take one more step toward me,
and I will decorate these walls
with the inside of
your skull, Hunter.
Try me.
You do understand that this
is a life-changing decision?
And not just for you, but...
for me and the
baby's life as well.
Alex, come here.
I want to have this baby.
I want us to have this baby.
Y'all are gonna make me the
best version of myself
that I've ever been.
I came to Atlanta to make music.
Not to get pregnant.
I knew you was gonna say that.
A boy was not in the picture.
And then, here you come.
We're gonna have a
beautiful baby.
We are.
Who is that?
It's the girls.
It's showtime.
Go.
Baby gonna need some new shoes.
So mama got to get to singing.
Oh, really?
Really.
I love you.
I love you.
Where is everyone?
I closed up early for
that NextFest craziness.
But I'm glad you're here.
I just told the girls the news.
What-what news?
Otis's wife confessed.
She did it. Are you serious?
I got it in my phone. I
recorded the whole thing.
You in the clear, Jahil.
Wow.
Come here.
You safe now.
Thank you, Miss C.
All right, come on. Y'all
got to get up out of here.
Y'all got a contest to win.
Okay, you're right.
You all right?
Nah.
They told me they fired you.
But you don't want
to talk about it.
'Cause you high, right?
You think I could rock
that cut right there?
- No.
- If I just got,
- like, a little shorter and put like,
- No.
A little razor right in there.
- Mm-mm.
- No?
Damn, Jahil, what you
got, a half a jar
of axle grease in your hair?
And you smell like a
bus station floor.
- Sit down.
- What?
What? Are you serious?
Just lay your head back, man.
Let me scrub some of this
jail funk off of you.
Come on, really?
That smell is the worst.
You ain't going to jail, Jahil.
God is good.
I'm messed up about
them girls, Lottie.
But you know, I
guess I deserve it.
After what I did
to you and Mary.
You want my advice?
Uh...
no.
She's still not
hitting you back?
No, I've been blowing up her
phone for, like, an hour.
Oh, man, when's the last time...
You know, I-I've got
to go check on her.
Wait, Simone, what's going on?
Well, I hope it's nothing, but
can you just get us registered
and into the dressing room?
And I'll be right back.
All right.
Star!
Star!
Star!
Hey.
Hi.
Come on in.
What's going on?
Where's Star?
I don't know, I
haven't seen her.
Yeah, that's kind
of funny, 'cause...
I know she came here
to get something.
So, she's here, ain't she?
You're the crazy
one, aren't you?
You got a little screw loose,
up in your head still?
You think Star is here?
I'm tired of not being trusted.
Oh...
Get out of here, bitch!
Star! Star, are you in here?
Star!
Star! Oh, my God.
Star!
Oh, my God.
Get up. What did he do?
Come on, come on.
- Wh...?
- I hit him. Let's go.
Go, go, go.
Wait. Wait, wait.
- Star, wait, don't...
- Wait.
I don't know who you thought
you were messing with,
but I am not the one.
The next time you put
your hands on a woman...
I will kill you.
Simone, give me his hand.
- Star, you don't...
- Give me his hand!
His throwing hand, this one.
The one that he plays with.
I'm so sorry, baby.
I'll never do it again.
Good Lord, y'all almost
made me call the police.
And you know
I don't call no police.
Y'all look wore out.
Where's Eva?
Come on, are you serious?
She's still not here?
Unless she in the back
doin' one of them stagehands.
With her hands.
♪ ♪
Look who's here.
- What's up?
- What's up?
We cool and ready.
What's up with you?
You don't look too happy.
I mean, you can't be happy when
you the bearer of
bad news, right?
What bad news?
I can't sign y'all,
man, I'm sorry.
What you mean you
aren't signing us?
I made a deal with Eva.
I'm goosh, I'm good.
You made a deal with Eva?
Which is why she's not here?
Okay, that Latin thing, that's
what's poppin' right now.
I'm trying to get to that
Pitbull New Year's Eve check,
you feel me?
See, when I saw Eva
rehearsing with y'all,
I was like, "Man,
that's the total package."
Then I thought about you.
We know you black,
but I might be able to
pass you off as a Latina.
And we might be able to do
some business later on,
but for now, I think
I'm-a go with
that solo Latin vibe with Eva.
Plus, you got a bun in the oven.
And we don't play with baby mamas.
You dig?
Adios, bro.
So, Eva told him you were
pregnant and got herself a deal.
Great.
You know what?
Screw him. Screw Jahil.
We've been relying
on everybody else,
but it's always been us.
You were some chick I contacted
on IG and sang, like, what,
three bars of "This
Woman's Work" for me?
And killed it.
Okay, yes, you did.
And before you were finished,
what did you tell me?
I said I had a little sister
somewhere who could sing.
And before I met you...
Either of you... what did I do?
You hopped into our
stolen car in New York
and drove all the way
down to Atlanta.
No, no, no.
Correction... I walked away
from the Upper East Side
of New York, darling.
Like a crazy person.
- Got in a stolen car...
- That smelled like weed.
And came all the way here
to ATL.
Because I believed in you.
I believed in us and
what we could become.
I can't argue with that.
Look at how far we've come.
By ourselves.
Yo, 'cause...

Are y'all ready to find

Oh, my God, we did it.
- Girl, we did it.
- We did it.
We did it.
- What?
- I think we did.
We won the whole thing.
We won.
Wow.
Ladies, where's your manager?
The Atlanta NextFest
and Honda people are
waiting outside.
Just give us a minute.
Yo, we ain't got a manager.
No, we don't.
Who cares? After that,
fools are gonna be
knocking on our door
trying to manage us.
Yeah, but I don't want anybody
phony, I want someone that's...
Real?
You need somebody
who is gonna act
in your best interests
at all times.
I've been around this game,
I've seen all the angles...
and I would never lie to you.
You actually want to
do something like this
- for us, Miss C?
- Yeah.
That's one of the most
beautiful gestures I've seen.
Girl, you are so nice
when you're pregnant.
It's so weird.
Wow, you really know
how to ruin a moment.
Do you hear what you
just said to her?
Yeah, you're super
pregnant right now.
All right, you all seem excited.
Do I get an opinion?
Always.
Do I still got to wash hair?
Now, you know don't
nobody live under my roof
without paying bills.
I got to wash hair, and
you're gonna take 10%?
- Wow.
- That what you're saying?
I was thinking more like 20%
- 20% of what?
- Oh, you just always
got to complain about
something, don't you?
What, you didn't
hear what she said?
Just... Y'all didn't hear her?
Just know when to...
She loves you, Miss C.
That's what she means.
Shout out to my translator.
I love you all, too.
Come here. You're like
my bad daughters.
- You guys rocked it tonight.
- Thank you.
This hug is a lot.
Yeah, I don't, you
know, hug that long...
You know the first thing
I'm gonna do, right?
Huh?
I'm gonna change y'all
name from Big Trouble.
- Please do.
- That was a Jahil thing.
Exactly. Jahil.
Very high.
Plus, y'all act
like big trouble,
so I might just want
to give you something
like Jesus' Angels or...
What?
God's Blessings Singers.
- Bye, Miss Carlotta.
- Good job. Bye.
- Bye. Love.
- 20%?
- But we did it.
- She's tripping.
- Doesn't matter right now.
- She's tripping.

Yes, yes, here they are, back

I'm pregnant.
Hey, girl, I took your cash
to set myself up.
Payback is a bitch.
- I need a fake I.D.
- Plan on robbing a bank or something?
The less you know, the better.
- Where's the money, Jahil?
- There ain't no money.
I have no idea where
he took those girls.
Oh, so you understand us,
you just don't speak
it that well.
Is that why you came here
to America, for a job?
You trying to poach my girls?
Nah, nah, nah, he ain't
finna do nothing.
- Don't move, against the wall.
- You're under arrest
for the murder of Otis Leecan.
I could claw my way into
much better than our world.
Lord, it's a calli, these
girls coming to me.
As much for me as
it is for them.
And now I might be losing 'em

Hey, Alex.
I had a dream last night
about Atlanta NextFest,
and we won.
Alex?
Are you okay in there? You got
morning sickness or something?
It's me, Simone.
What you doing here? Why
aren't you at your new place?
I had to come and get you.
We got a big day ahead of us.
Girl, you telling me?
I dreamed about it all night.
We're gonna slay.
You bet your ass we are.
And nobody's gonna stop us.

What, you're the best character

I'm screwed.
I got you, Jahil.
Who got you out?
Hunter posted bond.
So you tell those girls
I got pulled down here?
They already rattled enough with
that Atlanta NextFest thing.
Good.
No, they need to stay focused.
Doesn't look good, Lottie.
They, uh, they got
an anonymous tip.
Someone saw my car that night.
Tips don't stick, man.
They're telling me they got
blood in the trunk of the ride,
so... I don't know if
they're bluffing or not.
- Doesn't look good...
- Oh, my God,
I'm so glad you're out, Jahil.
I was so worried, I
didn't sleep last night.
You look pretty
well-rested to me.
You know, we took
you in like family,
and you played us.
You weren't that hard to play.
And, yes,
I speak English really good!
Eva, what are you...
what are you doing?
I speak English real well.
Keep her away from me.
Why you talking to
her like that, huh?
What the hell's wrong with you?
- I'm tired of her Jesus praising...
- You know what?
She's walking in there to try
to save my ass, all right?
I'm sorry, I'm just pissed.
Star has everyone in that
salon turned against me.
And you.
You know she's the one who
called the cops on you, Jahil.
Come on, now.
Star's a cold,
calculating bitch,
but she ain't gonna
set me up for murder.
Ever since we tricked her into
getting me back on the group,
she wants you out,
and she has everyone
wanting that.
No, you're stretching.
I heard 'em talking.
All right, look, just
go to rehearsal.
I'll take care of it.
Hey, sexy.
How long you been over there?
I'm scared about
this baby, Derek.
I know you said that...
you'll do whatever
I want, but...
I don't know what I want.
Yeah, you do.
You want me.
Right?
Hey, D. How you feeling?
What's up? What are
you even doing here?
I'm getting my bottom
surgery tonight.
All this pre-op
work takes longer
than the actual operation.
Cotton!
It's going down!
I'm gonna have a
custom-made kitty cat.
Me-ow.
Well,
- go get to rehearsal.
- I'm going.
And please tell that lazy-ass
nurse to bring me some food.
'Cause I'm hungry.
One more.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Atlanta NextFest.
Whoo.
Hey.
Thanks for bailing me out, huh?
Hey.
What's the matter with you?
I-I did it, Unc.
What are you talking about?
What did, what did you do?
I-I punched her.
I...
I punched Star.
Are you out of your
damn mind, huh?
You're a grown-ass man!
You don't ever put
your hands on her!
I love her, man.
What's the matter with you?
You're just like your old man!
Damn, sobrino.
Hey.
Hey. Shh.
What am I gonna
do with you, hmm?
I love her.
Just need you to sign this,
Ms. Leecan, then we can release
your husband's remains.
Excuse me.
I'm Carlotta Brown,
Simone Davis' guardian.
You Ruth-Anne Leecan?
How is Simone?
How you sleep at night?
How you let that child
get raped like that?
I didn't.
- But I couldn't...
- What?
You couldn't-couldn't what?
Pick up a phone?
Couldn't find a conscience?
What?
I'm sorry.
I'm... so sorry.
Yeah.
You are sorry.
Who'd you attempt to
beat up this time?
If you look like that,
I can only imagine what
the victim looks like.
Yeah, Star apparently
got into a fight
with some thot over Hunter.
Thot, thot!
Thot, thot, thot.
How's Derek?
Yeah, you decide
to keep the baby?
Would you really bring
this baby on tour?
Yo, we could braid its
hair just like Derek's.
I'm so serious.
- Shut up.
- What?
Y'all would have
really pretty babies.
No, but for real,
she has to think
about her future.
Our future.
Hmm.
Okay, so what would you do if
you were me, Ms. Know-it-all?
I would go back to New York
and get my credit cards
back from my father.
I'm sorry, you meant
about the baby.
I would get it right,
that's what I would do.
But...
Derek is good people.
So, if y'all decide to
keep this little nugget
- that's in here somewhere...
- Stop.
I think y'all would be
really good parents.
Regardless of...
the kind we all got.
And I mean all of that.
But I'll never baby-sit.
- All right, let's go to rehearsal.
- Mm-mm, not yet.
No, ma'am.
- Y'all got to help me open.
- Why would we do that?
'Cause Carlotta's downtown
talking to the po-pos.
- About what?
- Jahil.
They got him down there
on Otis's murder.
Oh, my God.
Come on.
- Wait, it's Big Boi.
- What's he saying?
He wants us to meet
us at his office.
He doesn't want
us to tell Jahil.
The girls are here, Big.
Show them in, Okiko.
What's up, Big?
What's up, thirsty girls?
So what's so urgent?
If you give me a minute,
I'm gonna tell you.
What's up?
Mamacita.
I expect y'all heard about
Jahil's indictment?
It's not a good look,
especially the day
of Atlanta NextFest.
I got some good news.
Jahil's indictment makes y'all
contract null and void,
thanks to a little clause
called force majeure.
It's what Moses was
talking about.
Jahil's out,
- and I'm in.
- All right.
- Word.
- Atlanta NextFest is the first step.
If y'all lock that up...
That's on lock.

- Your ass was in jail
and he offered to take us on.
What...
And so what? You didn't
just jump now? Huh?
What was we supposed
to do, Jahil?
Wait for you to post bail?
This is the biggest
night of our lives.
I tried to warn you.
You're the one that
called the cops on me,
- you little snitch.
- Boy, stop!
You got yourself locked.
Get your hands off me!
- Get his ass out of here.
- This ain't even close to being over.
Go somewhere and get high.
Excuse me.
Jahil.
Jahil.
Wait.
I rode hard for you, Star.
Save it.
You got what you
wanted and so did I.
What the hell are
you talking about?
You double-crossing me with Eva,
that's what I'm talking about.
Don't ever come at me
talking about loyalty.
Yeah, I put her in the group.
So what?
You going to the cops?
That's next level, Star.
- You really think I did that, huh?
- Yeah, I do.
I ain't a snitch, Jahil.
You don't get anywhere where
I'm from snitching on people.
You should know that.
You got rid of Otis for us.
And you protected my sister.
Why would I try to
get you hemmed up?
Huh?
You got that girl sleeping
in your damn bed, Jahil.
What are you doing?
I warned you to stay away
- from him, huh?
- Deal with your own drama.
I told you to stay
away from him, right?
I'm a big girl. I
can handle Hunter.
Can you? 'Cause the
Star I thought I knew,
she was lethal.
I guess we both lost our way.
Baby girl, you didn't
even know what direction
you were headed in
before you met me.
Look, I am who and I am, I don't
make no excuses for that.
I like to get high once in a while.
So what?
But you?
You don't even know who
the hell you are anymore.
If you're not okay with
Big Boi, I'll quit.
I don't want you upset.
It was you.
Wasn't it?
What are you talking about?
You called the cops.
Why would I do...
You're the only one who could
place my car at that site.
I didn't tell anyone else
where I buried that body.
- Jahil...
- You brought me back to my roots!
You brought me back to my music.
You brought me back to me!
I opened myself up to you.
How could you think that?
I fell in love with you, Jahil.
You saved me. How could I...?
Jahil.
You know I love you.
You know this is real.
You know it.
How can you think this about me?
I could never do that
to you, you know it.
I got to get out of here.
I'm going for a walk.

Yo, I'm about to kill his ass...
No, you are not. No,

You're not gonna do anything

How could you let

You of all people should know

Can we talk?
How did you know
where to find me?
Never mind that.
What do you want?
Otis.
He used to beat you, didn't he?
And?
And I know how scared you
were for the babies.
I mean, if that
monster came at them
the way he came at Simone...
Get out.
Come on.
Woman-to-woman.
You knew Otis was
coming for Simone.
You knew it and
you followed him.
You wanted to make
sure he found her,
so he would never come after
you and them girls, ever.
I mean, you-you were there, at
the hair show, weren't you?
You did what you had to do.
What he did,
to Simone...
to me.
But not my babies.
No.
As soon as Simone left,
he started in on them.
And I couldn't.
I wouldn't let him
hurt my babies.
I killed that bastard.
And I'd kill him again if his
black ass was still alive.
Oh, baby.
I'm so glad you came back.
I really need to...
Really?
Come on, put that down.
Put it down, Star.
Take one more step toward me,
and I will decorate these walls
with the inside of
your skull, Hunter.
Try me.
You do understand that this
is a life-changing decision?
And not just for you, but...
for me and the
baby's life as well.
Alex, come here.
I want to have this baby.
I want us to have this baby.
Y'all are gonna make me the
best version of myself
that I've ever been.
I came to Atlanta to make music.
Not to get pregnant.
I knew you was gonna say that.
A boy was not in the picture.
And then, here you come.
We're gonna have a
beautiful baby.
We are.
Who is that?
It's the girls.
It's showtime.
Go.
Baby gonna need some new shoes.
So mama got to get to singing.
Oh, really?
Really.
I love you.
I love you.
Where is everyone?
I closed up early for
that NextFest craziness.
But I'm glad you're here.
I just told the girls the news.
What-what news?
Otis's wife confessed.
She did it. Are you serious?
I got it in my phone. I
recorded the whole thing.
You in the clear, Jahil.
Wow.
Come here.
You safe now.
Thank you, Miss C.
All right, come on. Y'all
got to get up out of here.
Y'all got a contest to win.
Okay, you're right.
You all right?
Nah.
They told me they fired you.
But you don't want
to talk about it.
'Cause you high, right?
You think I could rock
that cut right there?
- No.
- If I just got,
- like, a little shorter and put like,
- No.
A little razor right in there.
- Mm-mm.
- No?
Damn, Jahil, what you
got, a half a jar
of axle grease in your hair?
And you smell like a
bus station floor.
- Sit down.
- What?
What? Are you serious?
Just lay your head back, man.
Let me scrub some of this
jail funk off of you.
Come on, really?
That smell is the worst.
You ain't going to jail, Jahil.

You want my advice?
Uh...
no.
She's still not
hitting you back?
No, I've been blowing up her
phone for, like, an hour.
Oh, man, when's the last time...
You know, I-I've got
to go check on her.
Wait, Simone, what's going on?
Well, I hope it's nothing, but
can you just get us registered
and into the dressing room?
And I'll be right back.
All right.
Star!
Star!
Star!
Hey.
Hi.
Come on in.
What's going on?
Where's Star?
I don't know, I
haven't seen her.
Yeah, that's kind
of funny, 'cause...
I know she came here
to get something.
So, she's here, ain't she?
You're the crazy
one, aren't you?
You got a little screw loose,
up in your head still?
You think Star is here?
I'm tired of not being trusted.
Oh...
Get out of here, bitch!
Star! Star, are you in here?
Star!
Star! Oh, my God.
Star!
Oh, my God.
Get up. What did he do?
Come on, come on.
- Wh...?
- I hit him. Let's go.
Go, go, go.
Wait. Wait, wait.
- Star, wait, don't...
- Wait.
I don't know who you thought
you were messing with,
but I am not the one.
The next time you put
your hands on a woman...
I will kill you.
Simone, give me his hand.

- Give me his hand!
His throwing hand, this one.
The one that he plays with.
I'm so sorry, baby.

I was like, "Man,
that's the total package."
Then I thought about you.
We know you black,
but I might be able to
pass you off as a Latina.
And we might be able to do
some business later on,
but for now, I think
I'm-a go with
that solo Latin vibe with Eva.
Plus, you got a bun in the oven.

Either of you... what did I do?
You hopped into our
stolen car in New York
and drove all the way
down to Atlanta.
No, no, no.
Correction... I walked away
from the Upper East Side
of New York, darling.
Like a crazy person.
- Got in a stolen car...
- That smelled like weed.
And came all the way here
to ATL.
Because I believed in you.
I believed in us and
what we could become.
I can't argue with that.
Look at how far we've come.
By ourselves.
Yo, 'cause...

What an amazing show.
Let's get all the contestants
back out here, please.
The winner of tonight's
Atlanta NextFest Honda Stage
will get a
million-dollar contract.
Are y'all ready to find
out who the winner is?
Yeah.
Let me get a drumroll.
And the winner is
Big Trouble!
♪ ♪
Oh, my God, we did it.
- Girl, we did it.
- We did it.
We did it.
- What?
- I think we did.
We won the whole thing.
We won.
Wow.
Ladies, where's your manager?
The Atlanta NextFest
and Honda people are
waiting outside.
Just give us a minute.
Yo, we ain't got a manager.
No, we don't.
Who cares? After that,
fools are gonna be
knocking on our door
trying to manage us.
Yeah, but I don't want anybody
phony, I want someone that's...
Real?
You need somebody
who is gonna act
in your best interests
at all times.
I've been around this game,
I've seen all the angles...
and I would never lie to you.
You actually want to
do something like this
- for us, Miss C?
- Yeah.
That's one of the most
beautiful gestures I've seen.
Girl, you are so nice
when you're pregnant.
It's so weird.
Wow, you really know
how to ruin a moment.
Do you hear what you
just said to her?
Yeah, you're super
pregnant right now.
All right, you all seem excited.
Do I get an opinion?
Always.
Do I still got to wash hair?
Now, you know don't
nobody live under my roof
without paying bills.
I got to wash hair, and
you're gonna take 10%?
- Wow.
- That what you're saying?
I was thinking more like 20%
- 20% of what?
- Oh, you just always
got to complain about
something, don't you?
What, you didn't
hear what she said?
Just... Y'all didn't hear her?
Just know when to...
She loves you, Miss C.
That's what she means.
Shout out to my translator.
I love you all, too.
Come here. You're like
my bad daughters.
- You guys rocked it tonight.
- Thank you.
This hug is a lot.
Yeah, I don't, you
know, hug that long...
You know the first thing
I'm gonna do, right?
Huh?
I'm gonna change y'all
name from Big Trouble.
- Please do.
- That was a Jahil thing.
Exactly. Jahil.
Very high.
Plus, y'all act
like big trouble,
so I might just want
to give you something
like Jesus' Angels or...
What?
God's Blessings Singers.
- Bye, Miss Carlotta.
- Good job. Bye.
- Bye. Love.
- 20%?
- But we did it.
- She's tripping.
- Doesn't matter right now.
- She's tripping.
My earring!
Yes, yes, here they are, back
onstage for one more song,
it is Atlanta's
NextFest winners.
Y'all give it up for
Big... Trouble!
