00:04Are you sure?
00:06Well, did he ask why?
00:09All right, thanks.
00:10I'll follow up.
00:19Is the seat taken?
00:23Does it matter if I said it was?
00:25No.
00:26Question.
00:26Question, how long do we have to wait for you to step up your game and put the cuffs on
00:31Crazy Leslie?
00:42Martin, is that you?
00:44Of course I understand.
00:46Yeah, like I already said, it's already on my agenda.
00:50But you have to work with me on this one.
00:53No, I'm here.
00:55I'm just a little distracted.
00:57You have my word.
01:00Yeah, we'll take it up at the next town hall meeting.
01:02But we have to do a complete, full vetting first.
01:06Whoa.
01:08I had no idea.
01:12Please, tell me everything.
01:14Start from the beginning.
01:16One, two, three million.
01:20Oh, three million.
01:44We're going to build the four of our brothers.
01:57what's that look i just didn't know it would be like this this has a lot of moving parts
02:03what's surprising you know how in a musical we're supposed to suspend our disbelief and
02:10imagine that people are singing everything instead of saying it are you about to start
02:14singing uh no but i might just burst out into songs and then birds are gonna start making all
02:20my dresses do they do purses you'd really save a lot of paper costs i mean i am legit fairy
02:27tale
02:27happy and what makes it so much better is that you are so real okay well let's hear it no
02:35come on
02:37chelsea serenade me or give me a good bop or something i'm open either way no i told you i
02:42was close but i'm not there yet okay plus i got my mom's mice not my grandmother's pipes
02:48fine i will let you off the hook but i feel it too chelsea i'm so glad you pulled up
02:55next to
02:56me that day would you think we're getting too greedy maybe but i just can't get enough of you
03:04i mean i'm hooked what can i say neither of us have been even remotely restrained should we be
03:11i can't lie and say that i haven't thought about that and my grandmother did bring it up the other
03:17day i knew it so people think we're moving too fast and it doesn't matter i answered her with her
03:23own quote some people have a slow burn and some are just like a lightning strike when you know you
03:29know
03:31it sounds like miss anita dupree knows a thing or two about relationships i mean she and granddad
03:36are the standard i've never seen a love like theirs so calm yet fierce impenetrable madison you are
03:44going to love her i mean the anita dupree effect is real we all bow down i thought we'd have
03:51a family
03:51meeting like back in the day well my manager is still wet and it's not like back in the day
03:56ladies
03:57we have one crack at this reunion concert and i want to make sure that it is fire like the
04:05kids
04:05say yes and you know we want that too now what's got your couture lingerie in a twist
04:10well at rehearsal yesterday something seemed off now our voices are in sync but our bodies that's
04:16another matter what do you mean we've all kept it tight oh no no no shade on our figures i
04:22know we
04:22look good but think about beyonce's tour which one any of them like her we're telling a story
04:33not just with our voices but with the staging and the movement now i've made a few calls and
04:39there is this choreographer who i know you will love innovative but anita dupree's ready to throw
04:48out the old for new and shiny all over again well hell no
04:58this is not me trying to throw away the past
05:02but some things do need to stay back there like that tired old choreography
05:07now i know we want to honor what we've done
05:10while also stepping into something fresh but our fans want us our fans appreciate
05:15calling back to the old days but they are exploring moves and music that are right now today
05:23so why wouldn't we do the same breathing new life into our old classics will make them timeless
05:30and if we twerk to our old songs is that going to bring all the kids to the yard or
05:35do you want us
05:36hanging from the ceiling like pink that's not what she's saying is it anita thank you tracy what i'm
05:44saying is you know what i think is rich you suggesting we try something fresh when we're
05:51right back where we started you bossing us around you running the show that is not what i'm doing you
05:58see you know what i see you're changing everything up at the last second so you can become the star
06:04we agreed to come back as equals no one's singing backup for you anymore anita please sharon that is
06:13not you just called us in here to tell us what you decided you didn't ask us you used to
06:20do the same
06:21thing with our hair with our costumes all of it well i did not sign up for a repeat of
06:28our not so
06:28greatest hits the choreography was good enough for us and it's good enough for us now and horace even
06:35spruced it up enough so it's an homage you ever thought about that we can't pretend that time hasn't
06:45passed that we haven't been changed by everything that's happened to us by all that we've done
06:53now the updated arrangements of our songs reflects that we're not teenagers singing and two-stepping
07:01about heartbreak that we barely experience we are grown women who have known real love
07:07and hurt and happiness and that's what needs to be reflected up on that stage
07:16what's the point if we don't have anything new to say i have something new to say
07:25how about you do this without me
07:35seriously cat are you stalking me how'd you even know i'd be here because i'm that good i knew you
07:42weren't at the station already called over there checked to see if there were any major crimes you'd
07:47be out protecting and serving on don't tell me you got a police scanner not yet but i probably should
07:55and i figured if you were out in the world tracking leslie's every move you'd say something to me maybe
08:03and if you weren't here i could at least grab some coffee
08:07you just don't quit do you it's not in me you know there was a time when i objected to
08:13you relentlessly
08:14touching my case um it feels like you're still objecting you're saying that changed no it's still
08:21annoying and inappropriate you know you love me being your unofficial partner i'm pretty sure i remember
08:30not deputizing you and despite the fact that you arguing that you were zendaya i wouldn't be
08:36comfortable having you on a ride along it's still a strong point and i stand by it anyway what's going
08:43on with our case our yes whatever it looks like you had a point we have a match yes i
08:52knew it we've got
08:53that bitch dead to rights leslie definitely ran laura off the road can i confess something yes please
09:04there's so much i don't know about you and there's a lot that i want to try thanks but it's
09:11not that
09:12kind of confession okay yeah lay it on me with all this talk about your grandmother i'm sort of glad
09:20she
09:21wasn't at the meet madison party why i know that you're just joking when you call her a queen but
09:27she really is a big deal more like a bft okay gran is the best you talk about her in
09:34superlatives
09:34because she's earned them and it's not just this huge force that i need to do priyas in the world
09:39at
09:39large but how important she is to you well i didn't say all that stuff to make you feel intimidated
09:45i know but what if she doesn't take to me chelsea what if i fail some tests i don't
09:51even know i'm participating in my family's not like yours your family does press conferences and
09:56sets up meet and greets to introduce girlfriends i'm lucky if i see my family more than once a year
10:02i feel like she's gonna be expecting more okay one you're a bfd2 doctor top of her class neurologist okay
10:12never forget that and two i'll let you in on a little secret there are actually three
10:19anita dupree's okay there's the one outsiders think she is a celestial being on high yep and there's
10:28the one she actually is a matriarch but most of the time she's just grand a really really fabulous
10:35grand but grand nonetheless she's the heart of us that is so sweet and sometimes you know when
10:43she's doing her grandmotherly things she'll start to hum under her breath and then you hear that voice
10:49and then you remember she is the anita the voice of a generation it's kind of trippy really a superstar
10:59a musician who exudes class and keeps her family center she sounds incredible i don't know if i'm
11:07even more excited to meet her or more scared the sooner we rip the band-aid off the better and
11:11she
11:11is just going to fall in love with you and what better time than the artiki let's reunion show you

12:35i'm supposed to pretend like that's normal right a total stranger wanting to take a selfie with you
12:40you having ham fans and chelsea nights and chill bells oh i like chill bells but the truth is there's
12:47a new influence you're born on these socials every five seconds i don't get how you just struggle with
12:53having millions of people out there who care about your every move i'm not dismissing it i appreciate the
12:58follows and the double taps but i'm really trying to bring more to it you know chelsea
13:07there's real talent in what you do it's more than being simply so damn gorgeous
13:15you know how to make people who look at a photo of you feel something you inspire confidence look what
13:22just happened do you miss modeling even a little bit i haven't had a chance to miss it you know
13:29there's still campaigns rolling out that i shot before i quit and no one has abandoned me on socials
13:35yet but that was never your favorite aspect of the job what about the rest of you you're getting to
13:40know me really well yeah fashion is what i loved not so much the runways and the shoots
13:46but now that chelsea cat is really taking off i get to make the beautiful things and not be the
13:51beautiful thing that's a whole lot of change to process and it's all for the better i've been
13:58dreaming of designing for forever i've been doodling and sketching and keeping it all a secret
14:04in a way i've been dreaming of you i just didn't know who you were yet
14:08but seriously whatever's next in this chapter of life it may be fast but it's right
14:19how do you know it's not just timing like i showed up when you happened to be ready
14:25am i the right person or just some hot sweet coincidence well i like that you threw hot and
14:30sweet in there oh well that's just me attempting to believe the things you say about me well believe it
14:35divine timing coincidence fate call it whatever you want madison we're here and i'm gonna take full
14:43advantage of it what what's that look i'm afraid you'll get to know me better and then you'll see
14:52i'm not as exciting as you are i'm not some designer influencer supermodel princess i'm not a princess
15:01but you're a dupree
15:04and you are very sexy and brilliant and a literal lifesaver okay
15:12i was totally kidding just like how i thought that you being freaked out last night would blow
15:17over why are you being like this that came out a bit harsher than i meant it's just everything
15:22with yesterday and your brother and his blind chest need to really throw at you huh pop tyrell and i
15:29are well aware of stranger danger and i think because it's so niche and nerdy tyrell couldn't wrap
15:34his head around anyone creepy trolling around in his chest space but he gets that it could have been
15:39more dangerous so do i good you keep assuming that we're not paying attention but really i have this
15:48all figured out it's all your fault really new day same blame what's the offense now you and granddad
15:55introduced him to chess gave him an outlet that he fell in love with and not only is that boy
16:02good but
16:03pop he's a master let me break this down for you have you ever heard of wimby winyambama
16:11better question how have you victor wimby nyama is the center of the san antonio spurs first round
16:18draft pick and i believe he was the rookie of the year last year yeah yeah yeah sports whatever but
16:23what you may also not know is that he's a killer chess player and hella cute oh last year when
16:29he was
16:29in new york he put up the chess bat signals on his socials for people to come play with him
16:33in the park
16:34tons of people showed up and nobody got hurt well not unless you want to count feelings
16:39i see but in this scenario is your brother wimby or the strangers in the park both
16:46things are getting better for tyrell but chess is still his window at the swamp
16:51he's one of the best players in the district for his age but he's still starved for someone that
16:56can match him someone with a high enough elo and sometimes that means going beyond your circle
17:02just like wimby honey i'm sure that wimby is a good kid but he's also a celebrity so he probably
17:11had
17:11private security hiding in plain sight on your brother's end he brought a grown man to this
17:19house when no one was home have you thought about that analogy true valid points but hey tyrell's
17:26chest date just turned out to be some nerdy harmless old guy you met him am i wrong oh pump
17:34your brakes
17:36but yes the helmet is the same one worn by the motorcycle rider that ran door off the road
17:41and we know the helmet belongs to leslie dots connected almost we still don't know that she
17:48was wearing it on that motorcycle at the precise moment of the accident oh my gosh what more do we
17:53need for her murderous tale to have taken a selfie while she ran lower down who else would be on
18:00the
18:00motorcycle i don't think i'm frustrated too but it's the job it's not like tv we have to get past
18:08reasonable doubt and i still don't have enough proof that it was definitely her that did it so we just
18:13keep getting closer and closer and it's never enough one step forward two steps back you know
18:21i actually couldn't be your partner because the law is stupid what's the point if she just keeps
18:27walking away free the system is designed to protect the innocent we just have to work even harder to get
18:33the guilty and what's going on with you guys many just be careful okay pop you are being way too
18:53intense tyrell's fine i'm fine the guy if him being here if he got to you he's gone so why
18:59are you so
18:59bothered because anything could happen out there samantha seeing tyrell be so cavalier
19:07we tried to make it crystal clear that while we're well known and respected in the community
19:13this world is still crazy we hear you but we are not staying hold up here at home until we're
19:2030 okay
19:2130 is a stretch 29 is the max funny i'm leaving this house pop okay i'm gonna go to the
19:28park get
19:28kissed by the sun maybe take some cringe selfies enjoy the butterflies and the flowers and a nice
19:35ice latte like every other girl my age okay all right keep your volume down on your headphones and
19:40walk there and come right back okay and i may meet up with my new boyfriend come again
19:48he's so cute and furry furry well if you must know he's the most adorable squirrel he's even got his
19:57own
19:57account crashing photos in the park is kind of his thing well before he gets serious i want to hear
20:03his
20:03intentions oh gross pop well go go just get out of here before i change my mind don't wait up
20:10wait turn your location on fancy meeting you here brother-in-law what's going on with you and jacob
20:19not that it's your business but smith is here about a story he's doing what he said
20:28fine be clandestine see if i care let me know if you hear anything else don't do anything i'll have
20:35to explain later
20:36okay
20:41bye bye
20:46thank you for throwing cat off the scent this way i don't have to dodge your questions later
20:51what about my questions because i have an important one i'll answer whatever i can
20:57yeah i owe you you keep making time for me even though i'm sure you have your own load at
21:02the station
21:02don't mention it but by looking at you it seems like my load of problems are about to get even
21:08heavier
21:09what's going on with martin
21:14on the house perks of the job
21:23so and you're new now how's it been navigating that with your cousin cat well this is the first
21:29time i'm doing anything in my career without my mom mature and it's brand new and uncharted territory
21:36and honestly a little scary but cat's really good with the business side i mean she sees things that i
21:41just don't and she knows how to anticipate hurdles i can't imagine so many unknowns being a doctor can
21:49be so linear it's really just a matter of figuring out your specialty and allowing everything else to
21:53line up well i'm sure that cat and i will face our challenges down the road but so far change
21:59has been
22:00really really really good to me with work and with you
22:08so i have a question for you do you think it'll be too much to handle me being in flux
22:15i think i can handle it in fact i think i'm the one who might burst into song now oh
22:22well i have a better
22:30idea
22:30well congressman you really do live on the edge well i wouldn't risk calling you if it wasn't serious
22:38i'll make it quick you don't think i already know what happened with our friend and his little chest
22:43move i got thought he was smooth trying to hit you where it hurt your kid but it won't happen
22:50again
22:51oh i know that's why i asked you here he just checkmated himself
23:00i know my husband but the more we find out the more i question martin's role in whatever this mess
23:06is
23:07what are you saying smitty i still think that martin is the victim here but what if i'm wrong
23:13the money plus the corrupt cop plus martin what if i'm just seeing what i want to see
23:18then you get martin to lawyer up look i told you when this first started there was no part of
23:24me
23:24that felt like martin was guilty but i operate on facts and if the facts lead me in a different
23:30direction i have to follow which means we'll have to part ways let's hope that's a bridge we don't
23:36have to cross look i get it when it's family it's complicated but it's who i am and if martin
23:44is
23:44culpable in any way i can't turn a blind eye then i wonder if i've already told you too much
23:53look jacob journalists have a code too and i respect you not being above the law when it comes to
24:00martin
24:01but i do wonder does the same apply to your father if we find out that he's involved just as
24:06deep i'm
24:07sure my father's got nothing to do with it but when it comes to justice there are no exceptions
24:13not for martin and not for my dad i think you've proven that it's best to leave the cleanup of
24:21your
24:21mess to those equipped to handle it i'd do that if my family wasn't in our friends crosshairs
24:28we need police protection 24 7. i'll pay for everyone samantha tyrell and smitty but we need
24:36them not to know that they're being tailed especially smitty he's already suspicious enough
24:43can we do that detective or do i need to go private you can be assured that your family will
24:48be protected
24:52should we check on her she'll be back when she's pulled herself together do you agree with her we
24:59all know this is not about the choreography i know we have to honor the past and i promise that
25:06we will
25:07but we can't bring all that into every step ball change we take or we will never be ready in
25:12time
25:12now would you please tell sharon i'm right we're supposed to be sisters sisters tell each other when
25:20there's slip showing and come on you know that routine is just as tired as we are
25:30i can't do that i'm sorry
25:35so you have to agree with sharon because you two are the victims and i'm the villain is that right
25:41i couldn't possibly just want this show to be a success to make us all look good after all these
25:47years it's all the same sister you still think you're the one who decides what's good in your mind
25:54you were the only one with the talent the taste now back then we were too naive and too damn
26:01caught
26:02up into making the anita williams to even have a mind of our own but that was back then and
26:08we don't
26:08have to fall in formation anymore especially because we have a bigger stake in the success of
26:14this reunion than you do and how is that
26:21you don't need the money anita we do nothing is really on the line for you
26:30you already had it all you still do but for sharon and me this concert could give us the careers
26:37we've
26:37been chasing since we were kids don't you think i know that that's why i have put all this energy
26:43into making us stronger and sharper by walking around like you own us that is not true it's there
26:51and everything you say every suggestion you make
26:58let's do it my way because i know better and am better than you
27:04just because you have the money to pay for some fancy choreographer and new vocal arrangements it
27:11doesn't make you right anita it doesn't put you in charge we're not for sale nobody's trying to buy
27:20you i'm here to put in the work quality work because you're writing checks what you say goes
27:32oh i see so you'll take my money but not my input no okay how about i get out my
27:40checkbook right now
27:41sign off on everything and head on home and you can do the concert without me
27:56i'm beginning to think of this as our place anywhere we're together as our place oh now that was
28:03smooth you've got to teach a course wait we've been talking about me me me this whole time tell me
28:10something new about you dr montgomery i'd love to but as it turns out i'm more show than tell
28:17what do you say we go back to our other favorite place where's that your bed say less
28:29what the hell
28:33all right thanks for the intel i'm on my way back
28:38sorry about that you're just doing your job smitty i'm not gonna push you to tell me something that
28:43you want to keep from me something that can incriminate martin i appreciate that but that also
28:47means this could be the end of our arrangement i'm not going to ask you to compromise your ethics
28:53although if something tells me this isn't a hypothetical what just happened that call i just
28:58got makes me feel like we should stop swapping info what'd you learn martin just requested police
29:03protection through the department what police protection what is there some type of national
29:10security threat smitty i don't think he would ask local police to look out for you and the kids
29:15if it was national i also don't think the request would have come through the channel it came
29:20through don't tell me marcel malone what is martin hiding and why does he feel like my family needs
29:28protection who's painting who the villain now we're not gold diggers who came sniffing around your
29:36birkin for a payout you came to us remember i wasn't the one who brought up money sharon did wow
29:45it's as if you've completely left cabrini green behind we were there then and we're here now
29:52and we remember every damn thing and that's the problem isn't it the whole world out there they
29:57see you as this icon but here in this room we're the only people in the world who know better
30:05and you hate us for that i don't hate you i love you i've missed you then prove it
30:10show it i don't even think you know how you don't respect us not our talent not our opinions
30:19this for you is a way for you to write one of your many wrongs
30:24but we might as well be just another one of your charities you think the fact that we never made
30:31it was
30:31proof that we didn't have what you have instead of it being the result of you abandoning us i have
30:38never said that but you thought it do you know how rare chances like ours were you took that from
30:48us
30:48and ran off with it we never got another one not because we weren't good enough
30:56but because lightning doesn't usually strike twice
31:01we didn't look back until now until barbara haunted you into it if you would have done this 20 years
31:09ago
31:10you could have resurrected us but you kept us twisting in the wind all those years if you felt that
31:20way
31:21believe me that was not my intention your intentions don't matter what we feel matters what we feel
31:34what you did matters
31:39what you're doing right now
31:45i think we can all acknowledge that most of this does fall on me
31:53if i hadn't followed dante you wouldn't have followed me leaving barbara behind
32:00and if i hadn't gone solo maybe we'd all be egots right now
32:07but we'll never know and we can't turn back the clock
32:13and i hoped that i could make up for some of this and i thought maybe we could recreate that
32:23magic
32:26but maybe it's just gone so what now you're giving up
32:34we're here committed to doing the work
32:39and so now the reunion's off because you say so

33:46disagreements but i thought we had the will to get up on that stage not just for the three of
33:54us
