Ambitions

PREVIOUSLY ON "AMBITIONS"...

I RECORDED THE WHOLE THING ON MY SMART WATCH.

-I'M THE MAYOR OF ATLANTA. -IS THIS ALL OF THEM?

YEAH. SHOW ME THE MONEY.

THERE IS NO MONEY, YOU PIECE OF...

AND MY PERSONAL LIFE

HAS BEEN ALL ABOUT YOU SINCE THE DAY WE MET.

YOU HAVE TO TRUST ME.

WELL, IT'S HIM I DON'T TRUST.

FORGET YOU EVER KNEW ME.

WE'RE ON THE SAME TEAM, GOOD GUYS VERSUS BAD GUYS.

JUST LEAVE THELMA'S PLACE OUT OF IT.

-THE PLACE IS NOT FOR SALE! -THE PLACE IS NOT FOR SALE!

THAT WASN'T PART OF THE DEAL.

WHATEVER PACT YOU MADE, THAT WAS WITH MY WIFE.

DAMN, GIRL, PUTTING OUT

ALL THAT ENERGY THIS EARLY IN THE MORNING?

TRYING TO GO FOR A PERSONAL RECORD.

MM.

AND I'M THERE.

TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN BEFORE WORK.

OOH, IMPRESSIVE.

I THINK I NEED TO HELP YOU WITH THAT.

I WENT DOWNSTAIRS LATE LAST NIGHT LOOKING FOR YOU.

YOU WEREN'T HERE.

IN FACT, YOU DIDN'T CRAWL 30 A.M.

OH, YEAH.

REMEMBER THAT TIME IN BIRMINGHAM

WHEN I WOULD LITERALLY DRIVE ALL NIGHT

THINKING THROUGH A CASE?

I DO.

I ALSO REMEMBER ASKING YOU TO WAKE ME UP

WHEN YOU WENT FOR YOUR DRIVE SO I DIDN'T WORRY NEEDLESSLY.

OH, BUT YOU LOOKED SO CUTE SNORING AWAY.

I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO WAKE YOU.

WHERE'D YOU GO?

I DON'T REMEMBER, AMARA.

DROVE DOWN I-85.

WHY?

YOU DON'T REMEMBER,

OR YOU DROVE DOWN I-85, WHICH IS IT?

IS THERE A REASON WHY YOU'RE TREATING ME LIKE SOME SUSPECT

IN A CRIME YOU'RE INVESTIGATING FOR THE D.O.J.?

SORRY.

IT'S HARD TO SHUT OFF SOMETIMES.

DAMN.

I WAS ABOUT TO DEMAND MY ONE PHONE CALL,

BUT IF THE INTERROGATION IS OVER,

ASSISTANT U.S. ATTORNEY HUGHES, I'M GONNA TAKE A SHOWER.

TITUS, WHY ARE YOU LYING TO ME?

ADMIT IT, THAT WAS THE BEST YOU EVER HAD.

YOU ARE SO FULL OF YOURSELF.

OH, I WISH YOU WERE FULL OF ME.

NO, NO, GREG, I CAN'T.

I'VE GOT APPOINTMENTS. MM-HMM.

I HAVE APPOINTMENTS.

OH, OKAY.

MM.

OH, MY GOD. HUH?

GO. UP, UP! WHAT?

WHAT? GREG -- GREG!

GREG, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

GREG -- GREG, STOP!

SHUT UP.

GO.

DON'T MAKE A SOUND.

DON'T EVEN BREATHE.

WAIT.

NATASHA, LONG TIME NO SEE.

IF I'D HAVE KNOWN YOU WERE BRINGING FRIENDS,

I'D HAVE MADE KIFLA.

HMM.

SO WHAT CAN I GET YOU? TEA, CRUMPETS?

WANT TO WATCH A MOVIE?

HMM. ALWAYS GRINNING, THIS ONE.

WE'LL SEE IF THAT STUPID SMILE

IS STILL ON YOUR FACE WHEN WE'RE DONE.

IS THIS ANY WAY TO TREAT FAMILY?

WE'RE BARELY EVEN COUSINS.

THE OLD MAN IS NOT HAPPY.

HOW'S HIS FIBER INTAKE?

MM.

ENJOYING THIS, AREN'T YOU, NAT?

I DON'T DERIVE PLEASURE FROM CORRECTING WILLFUL,

DISOBEDIENT LITTLE BOYS, GREG.

THE HELL YOU DON'T.

YOU HAD EVERYTHING HANDED TO YOU ON A SILVER PLATTER,

BUT YOU PISSED IT ALL AWAY.

WELL, I DO BELIEVE IN STAYING HYDRATED.

YOU HAVE ONE WEEK TO DELIVER ON ENGLISH ROSE,

YOU SMUG LITTLE...

THEN WHAT? HE GONNA KILL HIS OWN SON?

I'M HOPING MY UNCLE WILL LET ME DO THE HONORS.

ONE WEEK, THAT'S IT.

I WAS REALLY HOPING FOR A MOVIE.

WHAT THE HELL... WAS THAT?

FAMILY.

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

AM I ENTERING HOSTILE TERRITORY?

COME IN. HAVE A SEAT.

UH, LEAVE IT OPEN.

GUESS THIS IS, UH, PROGRESS.

I TOLD TITUS WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER.

HOW'D HE TAKE IT?

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW IS,

I AM DONE RESISTING YOUR HELP WITH THIS CASE FOR NOW.

GUESS HE TOOK IT WELL.

I'M JUST HERE TO HELP, AMARA.

GOOD.

I'LL LET YOU KNOW IF AND WHEN I NEED IT.

THAT'S ALL.

CAN I MAKE A SMALL ADJUSTMENT?

YOU THINK?

I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT STEPHANIE LANCASTER,

BUT FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD, SHE DOESN'T STRIKE ME

AS SOME LONG-SUFFERING WIFE CLUELESS

ABOUT HER HUSBAND'S CORRUPTION.

AH, WELL, IT'S THE PEOPLE AROUND

STEPHANIE THAT ARE LONG-SUFFERING.

SOUNDS PERSONAL.

NOTHING RELEVANT TO YOU.

THAT'S COOL, BUT WE SHOULD DEFINITELY KEEP AN EYE ON HER.

SOMETIMES, THE REAL POWER

LIES WITH THE WOMAN BEHIND THE THRONE.

I KNEW YOU HAD ANOTHER LIFE, BUT I NEVER IMAGINED ANYTHING,

ANYTHING LIKE WHAT I WITNESSED HERE TODAY.

YOU EXPOSED ME TO DANGER, AND THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE.

SORRY.

MY MAGIC 8-BALL DIDN'T WARN ME MY COUSINS

WERE PLANNING A FAMILY REUNION.

EVERYTHING IS A JOKE WITH YOU, ISN'T IT, GREG?

YOUR COUSIN IS RIGHT ABOUT THAT AT THE VERY LEAST.

YOU FORGET EVERYTHING YOU HEARD AND SAW

UNLESS YOU WANT THEM KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR NEXT TIME.

LET GO OF ME AND DON'T YOU DARE THREATEN ME.

OH, I'M NOT THE ONE MAKING THE THREATS THIS TIME,

STEPHANIE.

IF YOU'RE SMART, AND I KNOW YOU ARE,

YOU'LL LISTEN TO WHAT I'M SAYING TO YOU.

COME HERE.

OH.

OH, IT'S LIKE THAT, HUH?

ONE LITTLE IMPROMPTU TRIP UPSTAIRS

AND YOU'RE DENYING ME MY CHOCOLATE FIX?

AS FAR AS YOU'RE CONCERNED, THE CANDY STORE IS CLOSED.

OH, AND, GREG,

NEVER PRESUME YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

NATASHA IS NOT THE ONLY DANGEROUS WOMAN IN YOUR LIFE.

MM.

STOP IT. WHAT YOU MEAN, "STOP"?

QUIT EATING MY FOOD. IT'S OUR FOOD.

WHERE'S YOURS? IT'S OURS.

OH, YEAH, OKAY.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.

OOH, I HOPE Y'ALL SAVED SOME ROOM FOR SOME DESSERT.

UNH-UNH. UNH-UNH.

I'M STUFFED.

MY BOURBON PECAN PIE MAKE YOU SLAP YOUR MAMA...

BETTER YET, YOUR SISTER-IN-LAW.

GIRL!

I'M GONNA HAVE TO HAVE A SLICE OF THAT.

YOU A MESS.

OH, YOU KNOW, I FORGOT TO ASK,

HOW'S THE PETITION COMING?

PRETTY GOOD, I MEAN, BUT WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.

WELL, MAYBE TITUS CAN HELP.

WHAT?

MY HUSBAND WAS QUITE THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZER

BACK IN BIRMINGHAM.

I WOULDN'T SAY ALL THAT, BUT IF YOU DO NEED ANY LEGAL ADVICE,

I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO VOLUNTEER.

YOU KNOW, I MIGHT TAKE YOU UP ON THAT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

JUST SAVE ME SOME OF THAT PIE.

NO, YOU KNOW WHAT? I GOT YOU.

WELL, HEY! HEY, BABY.

HEY YOURSELF.

AMARA AND TITUS HUGHES, I WANT Y'ALL TO MEET...

HELLO, COUNCILMAN HAMILTON.

ASSISTANT U.S. ATTORNEY HUGHES.

WELL, OF COURSE, Y'ALL WOULD ALREADY KNOW

EACH OTHER BEING ALL UP IN THE GOVERNMENT.

WELL, HEY, MAN. HOW YOU DOING?

I'M GOOD, BROTHER, AND YOU?

YEAH, NICE TO MEET YOU. MM-HMM.

YEAH. YEAH.

OH, WELL, BABY, I HATE TO EAT AND RUN, BUT...

OH, NO, HONEY, I KNOW YOU NEED TO GET BACK TO THE OFFICE.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING LUNCH WITH ME.

ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU. IT WAS DELICIOUS.

AND THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
