You were right about this
guy. He's a bad muthafucka.

- How bad?
- Bad to the fuckin' bone.

Great.

His name is Mauricio
Costello Jackson.

- What is he, Italian?
- Nah, he's not Italian.

He's got ghetto-ass parents that
thought that was suave or some shit.



That's beside the point.
2012, he got arrested.

This motherfucker kidnapped
his ex-girlfriend,

held her hostage for three days,
and beat the living shit out of her.

- Oh, come on.
- I'm talkin' about torture.

- Crazy, wild shit. Tortured her.
- He fucking tortured...

There is a 400-page
trial transcript

with details that will raise the
hair off of your motherfuckin' neck.

And to make matters worse,

while he was in trial,
more shit came up.

He got hit with a
slew of other charges.

God, D. How the fuck
did she let this guy in?

I have no fuckin' clue. I thought
she only fucked white boys.

So, 8 A.M. to 10
A.M. is training

and then 10:30 A.M. is a
big concert update call.

Yeah, that will be...

- Yeah, the call is at 10:30.
- You can cancel that.

Well, that's a big call.

Andrew Finkelstein
is on that call.

- Who?
- Andrew Finkelstein.

Like, he's an industry legend.

I don't give a fuck who's
on the call. Cancel that.

Okay, Dr. Sugarman is at 1 P.M.,

- and then at 2 P.M., we have...
- Not 1 P.M. Cancel that.

Mike Dean's coming.

Motherfuckin' Mike Dean.

- In the flesh.
- What's up, what's up?

What'd I tell you, huh?

- It's alright, it's alright.
- "It's alright"?

- That's fuckin' funny.
- Yeah. Hell yeah.

What, are you checkin' for
acoustics or somethin'?

Yeah, we gotta find
the right place.

Nah, this is way
too echoey. C'mon.

Beautiful house, but the
acoustics are garbage.

2 P.M., we have a Half Magic
meeting here at the house.

- What's that?
- That's me and Joss's makeup line.

You collaborate together?

Yeah, well, we've been working
on it for a really long time

and I'm sure Joss
has told you about it

'cause I'm not really just
an assistant to her, like...

- Cancel it.
- I don't know if you understand

because this is,
like, an important...

It's more important for you,

but we're working for
Jocelyn so cancel it.

Yeah, this is it.

- What's up, what's up?
- I wanna introduce you to Jocelyn.

- Hi.
- Jocelyn, Mike.

- Hi. How you doing?
- Hi. We actually met before

at the Grammys, but you
probably don't remember.

- What's up? How you doin'?
- Nice to see you.

I'm really excited to
be working with you.

We were messing with this
thing on the piano that's like

Leia.

Shut the fuck up!

I'm tryna hear it!

That's why you guys came,
right, to hear the song?

What the fuck was that?

- Here we go.
- That's not the song.

- Yes.

It's good, right?

- So, how do you know Jocelyn?

- He saved my life.

- How?
- Well, I was living on the streets.

- So, where do you sleep now, Chloe?

- Here.
- Yeah?

Sometimes I do miss the club.

So you sleep at the club?

- No, here.
- Right. Sorry.

You used to sleep at the club.

Have you ever been to the club?

No.

But, Chloe, do you think
if I wanted to sleep there

that I could?

Yeah, but you should
just stay here with us.

Thank you. That was
very nice of you.

- How old are you, Chloe?
- Sev... Er, 18.

I have to pee, but
I'm afraid to...

Leia, please, just for,
like, for, like, a minute.

Just one minute. Just one.

- Right? Just... It's Joss.
- Yeah.

- No, no. I know. I heard...
- Shut the fuck up, Leia.

Wanna go to the bathroom?
Is that what you said?

- I was just gonna go...
- We're listening.

I was just gonna
go to the bathroom.

You can go to the bathroom.

We'll wait for you. We'll
wait, we'll wait for you.

- We'll be... complete silence...
- Just go after.

Till you're out the bathroom.
We'll just wait for Leia.

- She can go after.
- Let her go to the bathroom.

We'll wait. Three minutes?
We'll wait for three minutes.

Silence. No one talking.

- You can wait...
- I can wait. We can just play the song.

Leia. Shut the fuck up, Leia!

Stop. I was talking to her.

She was just responding.
Baby, it's okay.

You're very talented, Chloe.

I like talking to you.

I like talkin' to you, too.

You know what they
call people like you?

Crocodiles?

Pure hearts.

You're real.

This business is a crazy,
corrupt fuckin' place.

- How you been? Good?
- Good, man.

- Good to see you.

Hi, Dyanne. I'm Natalie.

- Hi, I'm Dyanne.
- It's nice to meet you.

They're ready for you

if you'd like to follow me this way.
- Thank you.

- Hope you weren't waiting too long.
- No, it's fine.

And the moment that voice
gets out to the world,

there'll be a lotta people
that's gonna wanna take it.

But you can't let 'em

'cause what you got is special.

Oh, look. Here she is.

- Here she is, guys.
- Good luck.

- Dyanne.
- Hi.

Hi, everyone.

We're so happy to have you here.

Sit right there. Perfect.
That's your spot today.

Welcome. Welcome to
Magistrate Records.

- Thank you for having me here.
- Of course.

You stay true to that crocodile
song. 'Cause that's you.

Stay observant.

If it feels wrong, it's wrong.

Okay?

Promise me.

Yeah, I promise.

What do you think?

It's dope. Don't get
me wrong, it is dope.

The beginning part,
you know, you're like,

Duh-nuh, fill the void

- "Yeah."
- Yeah.

That's exactly what
it sound like. "Yeah."

- Yeah.
- Kinda feels like exactly what you did.

Like a shrug. Like, "Yeah."

Yeah, it's like anticlimactic.

Yes! Go there, be raw with
this. You know what I'm saying?

- Go there. Go all the way there...
- Yo, D, D...

I got just the trick.

Come here.

Will you double-knot it?

It's just me. Okay?

I want you to block
out the world.

Get the fuck outta
your own head.

I want you at the
edge of cumming.

Okay, baby?

- Okay.
- Take your time.

I want you to breathe.
There's nobody here.

There's nobody here.

What turns you on is
gonna turn them on.

You know this. It
needs to be real.

Or they'll feel that it's fake.

Do you understand
what I'm saying?

- Yes.
- Do you understand, baby?

- Yes.
- Do you feel it?

Yes.

Chaimy? There is some
kinky-ass shit in this house.

This shit is weird, scary shit.

- Really?
- Yeah.

And Jocelyn's on some weird-ass
fuckin' S&M shit with this dude?

Shit is wild.

Honestly, I just think it's

really fucked up that we're
all just sitting around

watching Jocelyn get assaulted.

Assaulted?

Yeah. And no one
is saying anything.

Like, Destiny isn't
saying anything.

I don't know where Chaim is.

Like, they're all letting
this psychopath exploit her

beca... Sorry, but he is.

Just so that they
can make money?

Like, all of these people say that
it's their job to take care of her,

but they don't really care.

Okay. I know his methods
could seem odd to outsiders,

but it's his process.

And it works.

Yeah. I think that it's great, but
I don't think that it's, like...

I don't think it's worth it.

You know, Tedros always says
there's two types of people:

the ones that support you and
the ones that are obstacles.

- So, am I one of the obstacles?
- Are you?

Honestly, Izaak, I'm just
really scared for her right now.

He's doing mind control
on her or something...

- Mind control?
- Yeah! He's, like,

using her in front of other people
like she's not even a human being.

Well, she's not a human being.

She's a star.

And stars belong to the world.

Okay, now, listen, I've
been here about a week now.

Let me just break it
down to you, alright?

There's about three to five
kids in here, crazy talented.

crafting something specific with her.

- What's funny? What's funny?
- I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

I was laughing at
something else.

But...

But?

What he does to get it...

That's what you told me!
You said it. She said it.

Chaimy, I done seen some shit.

And he does this
thing where he...

Keep pushing.

Tests their limits, and puts
them in restraints and shit.

What, like torture?

Yes, yes.

Puts them in, like,
fuckin' chokeholds

on some crazy wild shit,
ties them up and shit,

and be like, "Tell me the
truth. Tell me your deep...

Tell me your deepest,
darkest secret."

Dyanne, we don't do this.

We don't just find
people on the street

and give them deals that will forever
alter the course of their life.

In fact, I can't think of a single
time we've ever done this. Have we?

- No.
- But what it is,

is we see something
in you. It's special.

And it's not just your
talent, it's your work ethic.

So, here's what
we can offer you.

We want your first song to
be "World Class Sinner."

The couple of takes we did
at the end of the other day,

that was all we needed
to convince everyone.

So we just need to have
you record the vocals,

and it's all yours.

You will have access
to every division

and every person in every
division of our company.

That means we
oversee your record,

we pair you with the top
producers in the industry,

you'll have features on all
the major streaming platforms,

bumps in the algorithm, a full
team of legal support at your back,

merchandise: your face on t-shirts,
multi-million-dollar marketing campaigns,

access to the best
venues across the globe.

That means world tour.

Hi. How are you?

Good, good. Last
time I saw you,

it seemed like you were
having a really tough time.

How are you doing now?

I'm good. I'm good. You know

I think it's no secret that I
lost my mom fairly recently and

you know, grief comes in waves.

And you definitely caught me
in the middle of a big one.

And I kind of wish I
had handled that day

a little better but, you know,

I'm just doing the
best that I can.

Absolutely, I mean,
you're only human, right?

Yeah. It's funny, I feel like
people keep saying that to me

as if I'm not.

Yeah. And how 'bout
Nikki and Finkelstein?

Are they concerned
about the tour?

No, I don't think anybody's
concerned about the tour.

I think it's always concerning
when somebody that you love

is in a state of distress.

But we are very much moving
forward with the tour.

I did hear you calling out

for your dead mother during
the music video shoot.

Are you sure you
can handle this?

I just... We can...

Jesus fucking...

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. You
should've seen your face.

Oh, my God. You looked
like a little bitch.

You scared the fucking
shit out of me.

- Oh, my God.
- What the fuck?

What'd you think, I was
gonna butt fuck you?

Oh, my God. Hey, why
don't you sing anymore?

I don't know, man.
It's complicated.

- Complicated?
- Yeah.

Well, I heard you
singin' in the shower.

Wake the fuck up!

- Come on, get up, ladies!
- Up! You heard the man!

- Get the fuck up!
- Good morning! Get the fuck up! Get up!

Get up, get up. Up, up,
up, up, up, up. Chloe, up.

Xander, up. Line up right here.

Take your hand off Charlie.

Stand straight.

Does anybody know the
meaning of the word "family"?

It's not a child and its mother.

No, that's "domus,"

the root of the word "domestic."

The root of the word
"family" is "famulus."

"Famulus" means "servant."

It is our duty to
serve our family.

Why don't you sing anymore?

I tore my vocal cords
couple years ago.

Yeah, Jocelyn told me that.

Interesting.

But I was walking by your
room and I heard you sing

and you sound great.

So, you're either fully
healed or you're lying.

What else did Jocelyn tell you?

That her mom outed
you when you were 13

and it crippled you.

Then you left the show.

And then you quit singing
because you had a "vocal injury."

Despite all that, you still
moved in with her and her mom.

Yeah, I didn't know that it
was Julianne until much later.

Why don't you sing anymore?

You should really use the
gift that God gave you.

You ask Jocelyn how
she feels about that?

What does Jocelyn
have to do with it?

Well...

Thank you, baby.
Go sit over there.

Xander, step forward.

What?

Come forward.

Why?

Xander

do you know why I use this?

No.

It's to unlock people.

To find out what's
in their heart.

Tedros, can I talk
to you for a second?

I don't think he deserves this.

Izaak, Izaak!

Get the fuck back here, Xander!

What the fuck are you doing?
Where the fuck is he going?

He fucking betrayed you.

Yeah, but this feels
a little extreme.

Extreme?

You wanna know what's extreme?

My servitude.

My devotion to you.

On Earth

and in heaven.

All you have to do is
tell me if he's lying.

- Leave me the fuck alone.
- Shut the fuck up!

- Let me go.
- Stop fucking moving

or I'll throw you down
the fucking stairs!

- I'ma throw you down the fucking stairs!
- Leave me the fuck alone!

- Bring him down here!
- Shut the fuck up!

- Bring him down!
- Please!

- I'll fucking cut your throat!
- Joss, what the fuck?

- Shut up! Joss can't save you.
- Lay him down.

Tie his fuckin' ass up.

- Don't move.
- You're fucking hurting me.

I don't give a fuck! What
do you think I'm here to do?

- Fuck off!
- Stop fighting, Xander.

- Stop fuckin' moving.
- Stop!

- I can't breathe.
- Shut up!

- Tedros, please.
- Are you gonna cooperate?

- Please.
- Or is Mitch gonna have to take

a fucking hammer to
your fucking ankles?

- Please don't fucking hurt me.
- Pull his fuckin' head up.

Please. Chloe!

Chloe can't save you.

- What I say? Nobody...
- Chloe, please!

- Chloe! Chloe!
- Xander, Xander,

- shut the fuck up.
- Look at me, please get them to stop.

- Stop struggling, Xander.
- Please, Tedros.

- I like you.
- Fuck you.

No, I do. I really do.

I just don't trust you.

I think you lie.

I don't lie.

Why didn't you tell anyone

that her mother was humiliating
her and beating her?

She asked me not to fucking
tell anyone, so I didn't.

That's not fucking true, Xander.

You fucking did.

You told me that her mom made
you fuckin' sign a contract

that you couldn't
fucking sing ever again.

- Did you not?
- Her mom didn't fucking like

that I was a good singer or
some shit, so she fucking...

Made you sign a
fucking contract?

- Yeah.
- What the fuck did you say?

I said the fucking
truth, Jocelyn.

That's not fucking true, Xander!

- Yes, it...
- What the fuck is wrong with you?

Tedros, please don't shock me
for one second, okay? Please.

You don't understand the fucking years
that this bitch has taken from me,

the fucking career
that I could've had,

- the life that I could've had.
- He's lying.

- He's lying.
- She fucking controls everything

around her and everyone.

And now she's doing it to you.

You took everything from me.

You've lived in my fucking
house since you were 14.

You used me for all
my fucking worth

and now you're lying to
my fucking face about it.

I'm not fucking lying,

- you stupid bitch!
- You are fucking lying.

Tell the fucking truth, Xander.

You're more fucking disgusting,
fucked up, and depraved

than your bitch
cunt of a mother!

Shock him again.

Please, just don't fucking
shock me again. Okay, fine.

Fine. Please.

Shock him again.

Again.

I'll stop lying! I'll
stop. I'll stop. I'll stop.

Please, I'll fucking stop.

- Say it again.
- I'm lying. I'm lying.

- I'm lying. I'm lying.
- About what? About what?

About everything.
I'm fucking lying.

I'm lying.

I'm fucking lying.

kinda like, you know what I mean?

Sing-songy in the middle to...

You think the vocals should

It needs to be like the, uh!

Yeah, I see what you mean.

It's good though, right?

for the whole fuckin' entire song.

Just more grit.

You need to get some rest.

You've just been doing,
like, a lot of blow.

No, no, I didn't do any blow.

Baby, I feel like you need
to get a little bit of sleep.

- You're starting to be like...
- I slept.

All I'm saying is show the world
a little bit more of what you got.

- I like the song the way it is.
- Okay.

But it's just...

It's been a long, it's
been a long night.

Look at you.

You're filthy.

So, how much do you know
about, like, his past?

'Cause how long have you guys?

We, you know, we're still getting
to know each other and stuff.

- Right.
- Yeah.

I can't help but continue
to notice his tats.

Oh, yeah. I mean, he's been
to prison like a couple times.

- Okay, so you know they're prison tats?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And he told you
he went to prison?

Yeah, but he's, like,
really sensitive about it.

He doesn't really like talking
about it with a lotta people.

He had this really fucking
crazy, like, ex-girlfriend.

- Okay.
- And they used to fight a lot.

They had this, like, really
tumultuous relationship.

And there was this one time where
I guess, they were, like, fighting,

and I guess he choked her.

- Who choked who?
- Well, I don't think he choked...

They were, like, getting
in a fight, you know...

- He choked her?
- He held, ya know...

He just was tryna, like,
fend her off, I think.

And she punched him in the face and
I guess he hit her back, ya know?

But like self-defense
kinda thing.

The girl kinda made it seem
like he had punched her first.

I mean, at some point,
though, he did hit her, right?

But he was just trying
to, like, defend himself.

And then this girl came out and was
like, "He hit me," and everything,

and, like, made it this whole thing
like he had abused her, ya know?

And then...

And then?

You know, Tedros was
talking about your voice.

He said it's stronger than ever.

I'm gonna let you go 'cause
Tedros believes in you, but

you need to do
something for him.

There was just this,
like, group of girls

that he was working
with as, like, artists.

Like, they were musicians.

- A work situation?
- Yeah.

And they were trying to,
like, extort him for money.

And so, they kinda
like all got together

and they went to the cops,
and they told the cops

that he was, like, their pimp.

And then he went to prison
for, like, six years.

Okay.

Joss.

Joss.

Wake up.

I got a great fuckin' idea.

What?

You wanna sell tickets, right?

You gotta go public.

With what?

My earliest memory, when
I was three years old

was of my mother beating
me with a hairbrush.

And for 22 years, she
physically and emotionally

abused me every day.

And I know that there's a lot
of headlines out there about me,

and it feels kind of chaotic and
like I'm unraveling or something but

since it's just
you and me talking,

I just wanna extend
my deepest gratitude

to all of you for allowing me to

process what's been the most
difficult time in my whole life.

And

and I also wanna make a
promise to you, to all of you,

that I'm not gonna let
the trauma of my past

affect the person that I
wanna be moving forward.

So, to all of you who have
already bought tickets

I just wanna say thank you
so much for being so patient.

And, I promise you, there
is a new Jocelyn coming.

Yeah, Joss.

Party time. Let's go!

There's a lotta tequila in
this, so brace yourself.

Don't waste the tequila.
You gotta drink it up.

What are you doing?
It's a party.

Yeah, I know. The wood
is teak, so I was just...

- The wood is what?
- It's teak.

So, I just was cleaning it
up, so that it doesn't stain.

Are you, are you...

- You're fuckin' with me, right?
- What?

What's the fucking problem?

There's not a
problem. I'm just...

You're ruining the
whole fucking night

and you're still a fucking bitch

for no fuckin' reason!

I'm just. It's a
party all the time.

- You know, you know...
- I'm just tryna keep it together.

You know what? You're
absolutely right.

I just wanna show you something.

Oh, my God. Stop!

Stop! Fucking stop!

And just for that, you
just got a fuckin'...

♪ Ah! Shove it, shove ♪
♪ it, shove it, ah! ♪

- Oh, come on. Come on.
- Come on.

- Come on, Leia. Leia.
- Leia!

- Are you fucking serious?
- What?

She's my friend. You just, like,
embarrassed her in front of everyone.

Wait, are you actually mad
about what just happened?

She doesn't fucking like
you. Why would she like you?

- Jocelyn.
- It's alright. It's alright.

Jocelyn, get back here.

What did you take?

- Molly!
- You took molly?

Yeah.

Are you feeling good?

- Yeah.
- I've never taken molly, actually.

Yeah.

Feels like it's been two days.

Dyanne's here.

- How are you?
- What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

- You texted me...
- What do you mean?

I just hope she's
not mad at you.

Why would she be mad at me?

'Cause of you and Tedros.

Why would she be mad
about me and Tedros?

'Cause, I know she
really likes him.

When Tedros told Dyanne
to bring you to the club,

she didn't think he
would have sex with you.

- What's up, baby?
- You texted me an hour ago saying...

Yeah. No, yeah, I was...
I just came from there.

Hi, Joss.

- Hi.
- Hey!

Hey.

I missed you.

I missed you, too.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

So, I feel like I have
to tell you something.

What's that?

So, when you left the other day,

Nikki asked me to step in and
perform "World Class Sinner."

And I just signed
with Magistrate,

and she wants me to have
"World Class Sinner"

as my first single.

Oh, wow.

But I didn't say yes.

I said I would ask you first.
I know it was your song.

Congratulations. That's crazy.

I mean, that's a huge
opportunity and I'm...

I would feel awful to
stand in the way of that,

- so, of course.
- Really?

You should take it.
Yeah, of course.

- Are you crying?
- Sorry.

- Why are you crying?
- I'm really happy for you.

- Thank you.
- I'm gonna go get you a drink.

Okay.

We can open up, we can get
personal if you take a hit of this.

Really get to know one another?

I'm an open book.

That's what I'm
talkin' 'bout, D.

- Oh, shit. What the fuck?
- What?

Isn't that Jocelyn's
ex, Rob, over there?

What the fuck? Hey.
I'll be right back.

Bitch ass.

Hey, you want a shot? Rob?

Yeah, sure.

So, who invited you, Rob?

Jocelyn.

When?

- Tonight.
- What time?

How do you know Jocelyn?

Let's take another shot?

That's a big shot
you got there, man.

You good?

Yo, man. You sure about that?

- You okay?
- Let's go, let's go. It's a party.

Bottoms up!

Are you sure you want
to do another one?

What are you, a faggot?

I'm just concerned
about you, man.

You're an actor, right?

Yeah, every actor I know
is a fucking faggot.

Doesn't everybody gotta take it up
the ass to get these roles out here?

Come on, man. What...

- I told you I...
- Whoo!

What, you got some moves?

- Come here.
- Okay.

- Come here.
- All right.

Go on. Come here.

- Come here.
- You got a little...

Mike, we need some music that

- matches the vibe.
- No, come on, man. Eyes over here, man.

Hey, look, as long as
you keep a good distance,

you'll be good, all right?

- Aight. Aight. I went like that!
- Yeah.

Show you that.

Here we go, here we go.

What'd I say? Hands up, no?
What'd I say? Didn't I say that?

- Didn't I say that?
- Yo, man.

Whoo!

- Just keep it... If you keep it...
- Whoo! Whoo!

All right, all right.

Whoo! Whoo!

I'm so happy you came.

By the way, have you met
the Kung Fu Master here?

No.

I don't need to. Come on.

So, what did I do to
deserve a text back?

You were on my mind.

I feel like I never
should've left.

Well, I would've resented you for staying.
It was too good of an opportunity.

It's a superhero movie.

My face is visible for literally
five percent of the film.

The rest of the time,
I'm wearing a mask.

They could've cast
anybody in that part.

Rob.

I've seen that latex suit.

I recognize that ass.

That's so embarrassing.

If I had to do it all over
again, I think that...

You still would've gone.

And if you hadn't, I
would've forced you.

Why didn't you tell
me any of this shit?

Tell you what?

I don't know, about your mom.

The fact that she'd been
abusing you all these years.

Well, if I'd known you
were gonna come over and

talk about my mom, I probably
wouldn't have texted you.

Yeah.

That actually kind
of hurts my feelings.

Rob,

you're killing me.

You've been ignoring
me for a month.

You changed your phone number and
every time I try to call Leia,

she says she can't
get ahold of you.

I can't hear a word
you're saying, Rob.

Did you say that you care about me
or that you love me? I didn't hear.

I said, put some clothes
on, you fucking lunatic.

You're no fun.

Jocelyn?
