00:17can't resist in his world of nightclubs and secrets not everyone is who they seem
00:23his overzealous employee mia a cop on the take or clint his right hand man steven's swanky nightclub
00:33hosts more than parties it keeps secrets and sometimes the truth is deadly can love survive
00:43a world of lies or will this sinful attraction be my downfall
00:53you must be trinity
01:05i'm steven gaudy
01:09right hi i was expecting a woman oh mia she screens people for me

01:30i haven't oh i would have noticed you
01:34i'm looking to open a second club montague
01:40how about a tour as you can see we got a ton of potential here you can go with a more edgy
01:49urban look or dress it up a bit more formal what kind of club would you like it to be
01:53me i want to make sure you come to montague you're a shakespeare fan
02:00capulet and montague what can i say i'm a bit of a romantic tragic and hopeless
02:07well there's plenty of space upstairs for a restaurant uh maybe the central bar right here
02:16vip over there like the way you think you're being generous i'm not much of a designer
02:23but i'm sure your team will have great ideas for this space plus you'll get a ton of foot traffic
02:29you know i've looked at a lot of properties but none quite so engaging
02:44why isn't he responding hey watch it that's expensive
02:51clint relax they're not gonna find anything because there's nothing to find
03:00mea what if they planned something

06:52okay why don't we go meet my business partners
06:55trinity this is chad mike uh you've already met mia and her husband clint my business partner
07:07and best friends since forever
07:10chad and mike run our warehouse warehouse
07:13uh making sure that we're stocked up on alcohol barware flatware soap anything needed to keep this
07:21place running we also dabble in import exports and you know we're just leveraging our existing supply chains
07:30you must be the woman i met on the phone about the new club montague
07:34nah uh you don't get to slam me against the wall and then try to make nice
07:39you know thank you so much for inviting me here it was really nice meeting you all but uh i have
07:47some place i need to be good night
07:53trinity please stay
07:58damn it you've gone and scared her off
08:00that woman cannot be trusted you're the one who picked her
08:03a mistake whoa what happened and did you just admit to making a mistake a rare one
08:16you don't you find it a little coincidental that peters shows up at her showing just as he sends
08:24a team to raid the capulet i'm absolutely certain that that was no coincidence but that doesn't mean
08:29that she's working with peters the raid was just one of peters games wants to show us he's the boss of
08:34us why why why does he do any of the ridiculous things he does no i mean why is he the boss of us
08:46why can we just make him go away well i'm sure that's why the evidence peters uses to blackmail us
08:54is in a place meant to be found i mean he is greedy but he's not stupid i don't trust her and you
09:01wouldn't either if you weren't trying to get in her pants she hurt too much and she's a threat
09:06i need this re-inventory we already counted twice then count it a third time
09:24it's either you're counting it wrong or someone's stealing from us
09:32i'd like to check out the space again meet me at eight
09:36i don't know what you're talking about don't encourage him this is not a good idea well when
09:58it blows up in my face you can be the first to say i told you so
10:07you need to focus on what's going on here now hmm not getting laid
10:21did you break in here i assure you i did not i'm very well connected in this town
10:28your broker let me in i thought we were here to see if the space was right for you we are
10:34i thought you could help me envision what dinner here might look like i thought this was going
10:40to be a nightclub well yeah but as you said there's room for a restaurant upstairs so you
10:48don't want the steak tartar then i just want to remind you that we're here to discuss business
10:55well we are i promise
10:57so what do you think of this space can it be everything you imagine it to be
11:10uh i am very interested but it's overpriced even though it's in a great location it needs a lot of work
11:21leave that to me it's my job to negotiate on your behalf be your problem solver
11:28and depending on how things go your therapist my therapist
11:33you'd be surprised how many deals nearly fall apart because the buyer or seller have some sort of breakdown
11:41nearly
11:46contract and non-disclosure
12:03steven this is a lot of money so sign it and make a lot of money
12:10i want to hire you to find me suitable properties for more nightclubs
12:17i don't know
12:21i don't know if i can commit to to this

14:23that's not what i'm getting at i need to take care of my parents

14:34hell i may even be a bit envious that you love your folks enough to do that
14:38of course i do
14:43my parents always said i was a mistake
14:47they never wanted me
14:50always talked about what a burden i was

15:05where are they now
15:08i'm so sorry
15:23ah don't be
15:24this one here is maybe too large but it's really close to the theater
15:41which means regular crowds and there's plenty of parking nearby
15:45it's right by the car
15:46competition

16:10stephen
16:22this uh this feels a little light
16:39light
16:40it's the same amount as always
16:42but you see you're opening more clubs which means our little business together is obviously doing
16:48better than i thought which means this
16:51look
16:52look we've been through this before they're just clubs
16:56no ulterior motives no ulterior motives nothing to do with our business dealings
17:00you actually expect me to believe this whole going legit thing believe whatever you want
17:06you can't cut me off that easily bud just because you're having some sort of morality crisis
17:11does it mean that i am too
17:12look can't you just find some other business to shake down
17:15you need to do what you are told or i know you've got all this evidence on me and you're not afraid to use it

26:32I really do have to run.
26:36How do I look?
26:38Beautiful.
26:40Meet me at the warehouse later?
26:42Definitely.
26:55Steven?
27:02The trap's been sprung.
27:06Let's see who's stealing from us.
27:08You changed setting the trap to today?
27:10It made sense to.
27:11I mean, no one's on the schedule.
27:13I'm supposed to meet Trinity there today.
27:20Hey, Mike.
27:21Jesus Christ, what are you doing here?
27:23I'm looking for Steven.
27:25Have you seen him?
27:26No, I haven't.
27:28But you're not supposed to be here.
27:32That doesn't look like supplies for the club.
27:38Whoa, whoa.
27:39Oh, I heard you were a bit of a busybody.
27:41Now I've got another loose end to tie up.
27:43I am.
27:47Move!
27:48Please don't shoot me.
27:55Why did you think it would be a good idea
27:56to make the warehouse your romantic rendezvous?
28:02Stay here.
28:03Screw that.
28:13Trinity, are you okay?
28:24What were you doing back here?
28:27I was looking over you.
28:28I couldn't find you.
28:30Oh, hell.
28:31What?
28:33Mike was a cop?
28:38Trinity, you need to calm down.
28:41Calm down.
28:44Come on, breathe with me.
28:47Look at me.
28:51Good.
28:53Good.
28:54Are you hurt?
28:57I killed a cop?
28:58A dirty cop.
29:00He was gonna kill me?
29:02Mia, why don't you bring her back to the house
29:03while Clint and I take care of this mess?
29:07Take care of this mess?
29:08Who are you people?
29:09Here, let's get you back to the house.
29:11Okay, you'll get your answers in.
29:12Okay, you'll get your answers in.
29:26Why are you being nice to me?
29:28I was in your place.
29:32And it's a lot to take in.
29:34And certainly to find out this way.
29:37It was a mistake for Steven not to say something sooner.
29:41How did Clint tell you?
29:43We had been dating for a couple of months.
29:46And out of the blue he says he needs to talk to me.
29:49I thought he was breaking up.
29:50And he starts saying nonsense, really, about love and trust and how he didn't want to hurt me.
30:03He starts sobbing.
30:06Words stuck in his throat.
30:10I'm a drug lord was nowhere what I was expecting he was struggling to say.
30:18How did you react?
30:22I beat the tar out of him.
30:25And he let me.
30:27It became a new kink for us.
30:31Clint pushed him to tell you.
30:34But Steven was afraid that you'd want nothing to do with him.
30:39Especially seeing as your ex stole all that money from your family.
30:43What?
30:45I never said anything about my ex.
30:47Can I have a moment alone with Trinity?
30:48oh, my God.
30:49Oh, my God.
30:51Oh, my God.
30:52Well, you do.
30:53Yeah, you're right.
30:54That's right.
30:55I mean, she was just trying to remember.
30:56But, Vincent, there was a moment alone with Trinity.
30:59How are you doing?
31:00What is it going to be doing today?
31:01I am so great.
31:02I'm so happy.
31:03I'm so happy that I'm not here.
31:04While you're watching I never said anything about my ex.
31:08Have a moment alone with Trinity.
31:10Don't you think I were going to die?
31:14I am home.
31:16I love that.
31:17How are you?
31:18more lies i never lied to you i told you mia screens everyone and she's very thorough
31:27lies of omission are still lies especially ones that could get me killed i didn't want to lose you
31:35i thought all your secrets were about capulet and expanding the nightclub business
31:43what does any of that have to do with dealing drugs drug money is dirty money and money flows loose and
31:52fast at the club money laundering it's all the same trinity necessary cost of doing business
31:58so you're a drug lord and a money launderer anything else on your resume whatever i am or not i absolutely
32:09adore you you promised you would never steal from me what what did i steal you stole my ability to
32:21choose whether i wanted to be a part of all of this from the start you hired me to expand your little
32:28drug empire no absolutely not montague was supposed to be my shot at going legit regardless you brought
32:36you brought me into this and now a man is dead and i killed him mike was a dirty cop who stole from
32:46me god it doesn't matter if he was a good cop a bad copper any cop at all he's dead and i'm responsible
32:56and it's your fault that any of that was even remotely possible not mike's
33:00i can't be a part of any of this trinity please don't go trinity
33:07trinity still won't return his calls
33:29i wonder if she would pick up if one of us called her i don't know let's just let steven manage this one
33:35could you imagine if steven called you on my behalf when you were in trinity's place
33:42to be honest i kind of wanted someone to pick a fight with me that does not surprise me
33:49i hate to say it but what if trinity is still a loose end that needs taking care of
34:06is it that time of the month already
34:08i'm investigating a missing persons case mike loman last seen alive working at your warehouse
34:22clint can you take these docs
34:41yo steven i need to ask you a few questions i assure you we have no idea where mike is
34:48he has been a no show no call all week what i find very odd is that none of you have reported him
34:56missing yourself if we call the cops every time one of our employees didn't show up for work i mean
35:01you'd be a very busy man sure and busy keeps you out of trouble i wonder if your new lady friend had
35:07anything to do with mike's disappearance yeah probably not doesn't really matter if she did or didn't
35:16i think because i'm pretty sure i can get a confession out of her either way
35:26enough of this
35:27shit
35:30come with me
35:31closing docks
35:42i swear i didn't know you were gonna be here
35:44he's a broken mess and i need him fixed
35:48he needs you figure your shit out
36:01he needs you
36:03how have you been
36:05fine
36:07you haven't returned my calls
36:09i've been busy
36:11right
36:21remember what i told you about my parents
36:24there's something i left out
36:25what they didn't love you that made you a drug dealer
36:35no
36:38yes
36:40they were dealers
36:43having a kid was a huge inconvenience for them
36:46at least until they put me to work as a drug runner
36:49when you were eight
36:54mom overdosed
36:58and dad got killed in a raid when i was a teen
37:03that's all i'd ever known
37:08i was way more successful at it than they were but then i got into the nightclub business
37:12yeah for money laundering
37:14yes
37:15and i was successful at that too
37:18it's not as much money as drugs but
37:21it's honest money or at least it could be again not justifying i'm just explaining
37:27this is all just normal to me
37:37i'm so so very sorry
37:43i thought i could shield you from the danger it was a mistake
37:47damn straight it was
37:48i promise there is nothing i won't do to protect you
37:54no
37:56no
37:58i will absolutely not be a part of any of this
38:03i will not be your mia i will not let any of this be normal for me
38:10i promise i will figure out a way to shut it all down
38:14that's what i was doing when i first met you
38:18and the guy who crashed our first showing here
38:21dan peters
38:23detective dan peters
38:26he won't let me shut it down
38:30another crooked cop
38:31mike was working with him
38:35what would shutting down the drug business look like
38:41if you could shut it down
38:44it's complicated
38:44there's lots of people who would object besides peters suppliers buyers and transport
38:57i can work through this
39:00but i can't do it without you
39:02i can't do it without you
39:05please
39:07give me another chance
39:10I don't know.
39:40I need you to be my queen, Trina.
39:44Yes.
39:45Say it.
39:47Tell me you're my queen.
39:49I'm your queen, Stephen.
39:51Yes.
39:58Babe.
39:59Babe.
40:00Babe.
40:01Babe, it's okay.
40:02It's okay.
40:03I'm just having a nightmare.
40:08Oh.
40:10If I hadn't shot Mike, I would be dead.
40:26But what if Peter's figures out I was the one who killed him?
40:33Oh, I won't let anything happen to you.
40:35I will always protect my queen.
40:40But what if?
40:46If it ever comes to it, I'll say I was the one who shot him.
40:52Oh.
40:52I wouldn't want that.
40:56I know my way around these situations.
41:00It was my fault.
41:02That should have never happened.
41:05If I need to, I'll learn up to.
41:07Oh.
41:08Oh.
41:25Oh.
41:26Look at that.
41:38Happy faces?
41:40Where have you been?
41:41Trinity and I have been working on a way to get rid of the business.
41:43Capulet?
41:44The other business.
41:46And not get rid of exactly, more like divest.
41:51Let's track what we know.
41:53Mike was a dirty cop working with Peters.
41:55Which means Peters was not only doing his own shakedowns,
41:59but stealing cash and product with Mike.
42:03Nickel and diming on the streets.
42:05We got to play into his greed.
42:06I like the sound of that.
42:08Yeah, how can we help?
42:10I assume you have a fat dossier of incriminating evidence against Peters?
42:15Of course.
42:16Hmm.
42:17This should work.
42:27Hmm.
42:27What is this?
42:37Some sort of shakedown?
42:38You're trying to blackmail me so I'll go away?
42:41Think of this as a gift.
42:44A gift?
42:45Evidence of extortion shaking down a drug kingpin.
42:49Evidence of your partnership with Mike.
42:51Evidence of you storing stolen drugs and cash in a storage locker rented to you.
42:56We've got copies, of course.
42:58You do realize if you use any of this, you'll be implicating yourself.
43:02That threat only works so much.
43:04We either strike a deal or we all burn together.
43:06A simple call to the DEA might attract a fair amount of unwanted attention to you and your
43:11questionable dealings.
43:13What else might the DEA find if they start looking in your general direction?
43:17What other businesses are you extorting from?
43:19What other boys on the police force are under your thumb?
43:25Okay, what do you want?
43:27Let's talk business.
43:31All the evidence suggests that you're not happy with your cut.
43:34Not only will you not let it end, but you want a bigger haul.
43:38What we're suggesting is you take over the business.
43:42Why take just a cut when you can have it all?
43:46I will bring you to my business associates along with all this so they know you're safe
43:50to talk to.
43:52And then we'll discuss shifting operations over to you.
44:00Where's the catch?
44:01Once the transition is complete, we stay the hell away from one another.
44:08Someone's got to pay for Mike's death.
44:10Who says that Mike's dead?
44:12Maybe he's in Barbados living his best life.
44:16He's not a fucking idiot!
44:19Assuming Mike is dead, maybe the wages of sin is death.
44:24I'd like to think he's in Barbados.
44:27So do we have a deal?
44:28Pleasure doing business with you.
44:47Take a damn good photo, don't I?
44:49Oh, that was a little intense.
44:59Watching you work was the sexiest thing.
45:02And speaking of work, a commission check for selling my business.
45:08Well, technically I gave it away.
45:10You took care of me and my family.
45:12I want to take care of you and your family.
45:24Now that the drug empire is behind me, I could really lean on my queen to help me rule my expanding kingdom.
45:33No.
45:34If our kingdom is to expand, I need to focus on securing new clubs.
45:44Our kingdom.
45:46I like that.
45:47I love you.
46:03I love you.
46:04I love you.
