Star (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Code of Silence - full transcript

Okay, so this is what
happened last time on Star.

There's a big music festival
coming here to Atlanta,

the perfect venue to
introduce you to the world.

You got to submit a
demo, and the deadline

is in two days. Yes!

- You don't think people will see us?
- That's the point, Simone.

So, you really don't think people
aren't gonna be looking for us.

Star! Stop it! You killed him!

I'm looking for Star.

They at the hospital
with her sister.

Most girls come when I call.



You're going to have to do a lot
more than call to make me come.

I didn't sign up for
trafficking women.

_

Maggie's gonna be furious.

♪ And I don't need no
man to make me happy ♪

♪ I really want you, but
I don't need no man. ♪

Where's my daughter?

I guess it's onward and upward,

but it ain't that easy.

Not when the devil
catches up to your ass.

All right, y'all. Rickey
Smiley Morning Show.

Hey. Listen for your
chance to win tickets

to the already sold out
Taylor Brothers Hair Show,

the wildest hair
battle in the ATL.



God's Blessings.

More Rickey Smiley Morning
Show coming up next.

Y'all heard that?

Baby, we in there this year.
We winning.

And don't be late.

Them Scissor Siblings,
baby, they don't even know

what I'm gonna to do to them.

You said that last
year and lost.

Doris, I'm-a need you to
worry about paying for

your hair on time,
something you never do.

Yeah. But you did
say that last year.

Oh, no, I'm serious this year, baby.
Watch.

They don't know how I'm
getting ready to slay them.

Where's Danielle?

She went to ask her
aunt for a favor.

You know, the girls
are performing

a Gladys Knight remix
at the hair show.

Here we go with this Gladys
Knight stuff again. I can't...

Y'all know damn good
and well that girl

ain't no kin to Gladys Knight.

She been saying that
same lie for years.

Why do you always have
something to say?

Why we ain't never met her?

Well, why everybody got
to be a liar, Bruce?

And at this point,
anything will help.

Gladys Knight?

Uh-huh. Did I ever tell you

I was six months
pregnant by Tyler Perry?

Shut up, Bruce.

Sorry about that. Where were we?

Uh, don't mind me.

Beautiful girls you
got here, Carlotta.

Are the black kids yours?

No, they ain't mine.

Might as well be, though.

Y'all are funny.

And I ain't talking
about those sweet boys

you got here.

All right, you've been
straight up with me.

So I'm gonna be
straight up with you.

Why you want to work here?

Well,

the shop is missing one thing.

What?

Men.

♪ ♪

You missing men.

And I ain't talking about them
little sweet boys you got

- running around here.
- Hold on, don't get it twisted, sweetie.

I'm more of a man
than you will ever be

and more of a woman
than you will ever get.

Carlotta, you better
get Sheba out of here.

Oh, no. Come on.
Don't get it wrong.

Ain't nothing wrong with a
little sugar in your tank, baby.

Women ain't the only ones
that want to look good.

I'm just laying out facts.

Think about it.

Man comes in, gets a haircut.
He leaves looking all smooth,

feeling good, goes home.
His lady's gonna ask him

where he got his hair cut.

Next thing you know,
they're both calling here

booking appointments.

Get up, he's here.
Get up, he's here.

- No. Who?
- Otis.

What?

Oh, no, it's too...
It's... Mm-mm.

- It's too early for this.
- No, I heard him talking to Miss Carlotta.

What if he's telling her
that you tried to kill him?

Okay. What you heard
is that medication

- they got you on.
- Girl, wake up.

- You know it have side effects.
- I know what them doctors said.

If you don't quit touching me...

You know what?

I swear to God.

He better be down there
or I'm-a kill you, too.

I swear he's down there.

I know what I heard.

I'm not playing with you today.

Um, Miss Carlotta,

was there a man down
here a minute ago?

Well, good morning to you, too.

Yeah. He was applying for a job.

A man, though, right?

Yeah. Why you want to know?

Stay out my business.

You sounding more like Star.

Some people actually
want to work.

I actually want to go to bed.

While you up, I need these
cleaned, separated and labeled.

Miss Carlotta, it's
the crack of dawn.

If you want to win the hair
show this year, don't you think

your main attraction
should get some sleep?

Lazy.

Hey, Ma, they have been
rehearsing all night.

Thank you, Kai.

All right. Go on back to bed,

but don't think you getting
out of working that booth.

We know.

Star, I swear it was him.

You got to stop doing this.

You're driving yourself
crazy, Simone.

You won't sleep. You won't
let nobody else sleep now.

You got to let this go.

Otis isn't alive,
'cause he's dead,

'cause I killed him.

Please try to remember that.

Hey, Miss Ruby. What's going on?

Hey, little girl.

Go ask Bruce to get me a blunt.

Grandma, go inside.

I won't. Go ask Bruce.

And you take your ass to work.

She right. Let me get to work.

So, you're gonna be
at work all day?

Why? You got a better offer?

I just might.

You know about the
hair show, right?

Yeah, we know about it.
What you know about

- the hair show?
- Grandma, please!

I know about that damn
hair show every year,

'cause every year
Carlotta and Bruce

lose to the Scissor Siblings.

Wait, they got y'all going?

Performing. Bruce is styling

and we're singing Gladys Knight.

So, God's Blessing actually may

bring home the trophy
this year, then.

I don't know. It's the
full-on retro sound

and look, crazy wigs and all.

You should see Star. She looks
like a blonde mushroom.

So, you finally invite
me to hear you sing.

Yeah.

Too bad you're gonna be at work.

Mmm. Well, I wonder
if there's anything

I wouldn't do for you.

We're on at 3:00 sharp.

I'll see what I can do.

- Can I come?
- No.

Ugh. Girlie,

go tell Bruce to bring me a hit.

What's up, bro?

You need to learn some

Here, take a look at this.
Go ahead.

Read it. Tell me what it says.

"Congratulations, you've been
selected for the next round

of the Atlanta NextFest at the
Honda Stage Competition."

All right, look. I just spoke
with the reps. Now they want

to see a video of you all
doing a live performance.

That means we got a new
deadline, two weeks.

Okay, well Derek's having a
Black Lives Matter event.

Maybe we can do it then.

Nah, I don't want
to do political.

Why don't we sing at Miss
Carlotta's church benefit?

You're so cute, you
little nut job.

No, that's not sexy enough.

We need these
stiffs to stand up.

What about the hair show
we're performing at tonight?

We're already doing it, and the
judges at Atlanta NextFest

would never expect us to
do a Gladys Knight song.

You know, that's retro. Shows
your history, shows your taste.

I like it.

- Bow down to Gladys.
- Well, you know what?

That's... That's why I love you. Come here.
That is a great idea.

I mean, there's gonna be, like,
hundreds of people there, right?

- Thousands.
- All right.

Hair show it is.

Well, come on.

Show me what you got. Let's go.

what we're gonna do.

We're gonna get out of here.

We're open seven days a week,

so just call and make
an appointment anytime.

We'll be more than happy
to take you, okay?

Your hair is
beautiful, by the way.

That's right, baby, we
got wigs, closures,

- weaves, anything you need, baby.
- And I want to give you one of these

because I think this would
be a great texture for you.

Mm, mm, mm.

Ugh.

What is this?

Just tired.

The ugly sisters.

Y'all got five seconds

to get y'all peculiar
ass from my booth.

Let it go. It ain't worth it.

- Oh, really? That ain't what Yelp said.
- Mm.

One.

What was it the review said?

Oh, let me find out.

Two.

Scissor Siblings ranked

best beauty salon in Atlanta.

Three.

Or was it the best
beauty salon period?

- Four.
- Mm-hmm, look,

do you remember how
many stars we got?

Let's count them up.

- Five.
- Five. Five.

Enough. Save it for the stage.

We already did that.

Y'all ain't make no noise.

Oh, honey, we left that
stage in awe, though.

You gonna have to
do a whole lot more

than them little
synthetic dresses, baby.

You left 'em in "Aw, hell nah."

And you're too young to have
your hair like that anyway.

S'up, Hunter?

Surprised to see you here.

Oh, I'm just here being
a supportive boyfriend.

Boyfriend?

Yeah.

Who's this?

This is Eva.

Eva?

Never seen her around before.

She your latest
addition to Magic City?

Actually, she's my niece.

My brother sent her to stay
with me for a little while.

Where are the girls?

Uh, in the back getting ready.

All right, look, do me a favor.

Keep an eye on her for a minute.
Thanks.

_

And listen,

keep your hands to yourself.

You're not from
around here, are you?

Hola.

Step close because up
next on the main stage,

another live performance

from one of Atlanta's
hottest new salons.

Don't you miss it.

Girl, is she gonna be okay?

- Simone?
- Yes.

She's gonna be fine. She
don't have a choice.

Look, you can't make her

do something if she's not ready.

You and I can handle it.

Right, and she did just
get out the hospital.

What if she's tired?

Thank you.

We started this together.

We're gonna finish
this together.

Girl, look at her.

You gonna do something
to get ready?

You know what?

So obnoxious, yo.

Ladies, I have someone

who would like to
wish you good luck.

I want you to meet
my Aunt Gladys.

How you guys doing?

How are you?

Oh, you have got
to be kidding me.

Oh, my God, hi.

- Hi.
- My mother loved you.

- Oh, thank you so much.
- Hi.

Ms. Knight, I know you

probably won't
remember me, but...

Roland's daughter.

Yeah.

- Of course I remember you.
- Wow.

When you did the piano
duet with Alicia Keys.

Oh, my God, I was so nervous.

You were brilliant.

And your dad?

He's in New York right now.

So, what are you doing here?

Well, you told me to chase
my dreams, so here I am.

You've done something brave.

Believing in yourself
is half the battle,

and if nothing else happens,
you've already won.

Oh, my God, really?

Come on, man. I need
y'all to focus.

Cotton, why you in the mirror?

Miss Bruce.

Hey.

My Aunt Gladys.

Well, I'll be damned.

Hey, you guys, I'm gonna
let you go, okay.

I know you got to get ready.

- I'll be out there watching.
- Okay.

Let's get our seats
before we lose them.

Let's get our seats.

- Ms. Knight, before you go...
- Yes?

I'd like to ask
you a huge favor.

Let's give another
round of applause for

God's Blessings Beauty Salon.

We need to get Simone out

- of here right now.
- What? Why?

Please just go.

Girl, bye.

Alex, he's here.

Who?

Simone's foster dad
is at the hair show.

That's him right
there in the plaid.

- Has Simone seen him?
- No, not yet.

- Please just go.
- Stay close...

- All right.
- Go.

Yolanda's Nappy Kitchen.

- Where we going?
- Back to Carlotta's.

Why? We just killed
our performance.

We just need to go, okay?

I need your help.

He's here.

Yes.

Hey, little mama.

How you doing?

Where are we going?

Alex, hello? Hello?

Otis is here, Simone.

Now, I'm not leaving
without my daughter.

Simone is not your daughter,

and she's not going
anywhere with you.

Listen, girl, you do not
want me to go to the police.

'Cause if I do, I'm gonna make
sure your little white ass

is living up under the jail.

Your sister saw him.

He was in the audience.
He saw us performing.

Where is she?

She went to go look for
him, but it's okay.

- No. Let go of me.
- Simone...

- I have to take you back to Carlotta's.
- No, I...

- Just, please let's go, Simone.
- Alex?

Call them.

And while you're at it,

tell them how you raped Simone.

How I saw you.

I like that.

Yeah, baby doll.

See, you, you stabbed me.

Tried to kill me.

Thought you did.

See, what you're gonna do

is you're gonna bring her to me

or I'm gonna call the cops.

- I got to go.
- Where you going?

And that will be kidnapping,

assault with a deadly weapon,

attempted murder

and stealing my damn car.

Who does that?

Hey, hey, hey.

You can't just leave me
here by myself, Cotton.

You looking at a long
time, you little whore.

Oh.

Mm.

I'm going to be waiting on P3,

parked across from the
exit in a silver car.

You got 15 minutes.

15 minutes, baby. Hmm?

There's always room for one more

if you want to join us.

I'd love to have you.

Hey, Miss Carlotta.

You looking good today.

What happened?

Did he hurt you?

I've got it under control.

What'd he do to you?

Simone was right.

That man was in my
house this morning.

Who is he?

That's Otis, her foster father.

He came back for her.

- Where's Simone?
- She's with Alexandra.

Okay, I'm calling the cops.

No, no, no, no, no.
Carlotta, you can't.

You-You can't. We can't...

We can't call the cops.

Okay.

You need to tell
me what happened.

You need to tell me everything.

When I finally found Simone,

he was on top of her,

raping her.

So I stabbed him, and
I kept stabbing him

and I tried to kill him.

So, if you call the cops,

Simone's going back and
I'm going to jail.

That's the whole story.

I won't let that happen.

And I damn sure ain't letting
him get away with this.

Go home.

I'll handle it.

I need you to come up and meet
me on the second floor now.

Where's my gun?

Bitch.

You did a really
good job up there.

Have a good night.

♪ ♪

Ooh, excuse me.

What's going on?
What's the emergency?

- The gun is missing.
- The gun?

- What do you need a gun for?
- Simone's foster father is here.

He been raping that
girl for years.

That's why they ran away.

Let's go handle business.

Okay.

Otis!

Hey, baby.

I ain't your baby!

I missed you.

Don't even flinch.

Come on now. You're
not happy to see me?

Not even just a little bit?

Huh?

Oh.

You know you're still
daddy's little girl.

Put the gun down.

I ain't going anywhere with you.

You hurt me!

All right.

Something you need
to know, though.

No matter where you run,

how far you go, where you hide,

I'm gonna always find you.

Because you belong
to me, Simone.

Hey, slow down.

Guess I'll call you tomorrow.

Please give a round of
applause for Keena 360.

She's paved the way for so...

for so many artists that
you see here today.

What happened to you?

Simone. Where is she?

She ran off.

We need to find her.
She needs us.

I've looked for that girl everywhere.
She's not here.

- Did you call her?
- Yeah, a million times.

Keeps going straight
to voice mail.

Yeah.

I knew this would happen.

I knew she would do
something like this.

I've been trying to protect her.

We're gonna find her, all right?

We need to, fast,
because she's crazy.

And we got to find her before
she does something crazy.

Which one of you has my gun?

What are you talking about?

My gun is missing.

Simone.

What about Otis?

- Otis is dead.
- He's dead.

All right, what's going on?

It's being handled.

Cotton and Alexandra are
checking for her in the back.

Yeah, I pray they find her.

Pray? We need to
find her right now.

We both know what'll happen
if she's left alone.

Otis.

Call the girls and
tell them we got her.

Hello. It's me.

We found her.

Carlotta wants y'all
to come back.

Boy, you done been through
more in your 16 years

than most people have
in their lifetime.

But listen to me.

That chapter of
your life is over.

You understand?

Could we have a minute?

Simone,

let me tell you something.

The smell of his cologne,

the sound of his voice,

the feeling...

of his nasty hands
on your body...

Those memories are
going to fade.

Okay? They will fade.

But you need to find
something to focus on.

That's how that works.

All right?

Now, I know you don't
care about all of this.

But look at where we are.

Look at how far we've come.

Hold onto that, okay?

I can. Okay.

And now,

the moment we've all
been waiting for,

first place winner of this
year's Taylor Brothers Hair Show

goes to...

God's Blessings Beauty Salon!

Yes!

Get it, girl!

There's an encore
performance coming up.

God's Blessings won.

Let's go.

Come on.

We're gonna be strong.

These are done for.

I've been meaning to fix 'em.

Yeah, we will. Come on.

Yes!

Congratulations.

Bitches.

Get it, girl.

There's a lot of
people out there,

there's cameras everywhere.

Y'all need to get
up on that stage.

It's called an alibi.

And we don't talk about this.

You understand?

And we have something
coming up for you.

Not ever.

We have another surprise,
an encore performance.

Hi.

Where you gonna put it?

I don't know, I want
to put it in my house,

but you know Carlotta
ain't gonna go for that.

Ms. Gladys, thank you so
much for doing this for us.

Now you know I loved it.
Call me anytime.

And that niece of yours.

She all right when
she want to be.

I love her.

Thank you, Auntie.

Why you always got to
be starting something?

You better be glad Ms.
Knight's sitting right here.

Is he always like that?

Unfortunately, yes.

You don't have to do that.

I heard rumblings that the
transaction never went through.

Something's not right.

Yeah, well, this never happens.

There were four other
exchanges that night,

and every single one of them
went off without a hitch.

To be honest, I
think he's lying.

I'll keep an eye on him.

If Jahil's up to something,

it's only a matter of
time before he slips up.

So what are we supposed to do?

Hmm?

Just act like nothing
ever happened?

That's exactly
what you gonna do.

You girls been looking over your
shoulders since you got here.

It's over now.

I don't know about y'all,
but it's been a long day.

I'm going to bed.

Yeah, me, too.

I didn't do it.

I didn't kill Otis.

What?

Simone...

That's enough.

We know what happened.

Star, like, ease up off her.

You saw her, she had
Carlotta's gun.

I wanted to kill him.

I just couldn't
pull the trigger.

I'm so confused.

Simone, we're the last
people you need to lie to.

We will protect you.

I didn't kill Otis!

I don't think I believe you.

I didn't!

All right,

okay.

Well, if Simone didn't
kill him, then who did?

Sometimes it all comes down
to what you don't say.

That night, we all agreed:
the devil is gone...

for now.
