I've been learning about the Foundation
and who can be connected to it.
- How is there so much info out there about the Foundation
but nobody says shit about it in public?
- Ndasia said they discredit anyone who touches the story.
- Okay, which begs the question,
- That's what we do. wWe investigate, okay?
Remember that party we went to and took pictures of Jebediah?
- Hell yeah. That bitch was lit.
- Right? Okay.
What if that was a Foundation party,
where all the members can go
and indulge their fetishes and stuff in private?
But I might have somebody that could tell us. Hold on.
- André Richard? - Richàrd.
- Whatever. Who is he? - The only man I know
that can speak four languages,
make a perfect omelet, and bench-press me.
Also, that's the man that got us in that party.
- It don't look like he can bench press you.
- Okay. Looks can be deceiving.
- Okay. Well, it looks like he's in town this week.
You should meet up with him.
- Okay, wait. - What?
- I haven't spoken to him since you posted those photos.
So his ass might be a bit salty.
I'll reach out. - Thank you.
Cool. I'll try Ndasia.
- Got it.
- Sorry I'm late.
- André. Wow. - Look at you.
- I'ma need all of this.
- Man, you look good.
- Okay. Please have a seat.
So when was the last time we talked?
- That time I got you into that party
and you leaked those photos of Reverend Hawthorne.
- I told you how sorry I was about that.
- No, I get it.
You were just listening to your boss.
- Yeah. - Hi.
What can I get you started off with?
- Um. Let's just start with your best champagne,

- Okay.
Then explain it to me.
- You watch TV? - Yes.
- Listen to the radio? - Yes.
- Well, honey, you're already under the influence.
- What--oh, I'm confused.
- The Foundation is the gatekeeper.
There's very little that airs or streams in this country
without their stamp of approval.
- So they control the U.S. media?
- Basically.
- So how is that different from, say, the big corporations
that have been controlling it for years?
- Well, the problem is when you have one organization
controlling what we view as truth,
how the hell are we supposed to know what the truth really is?
- So why doesn't anyone call the CIA or the NSA
or the FBI or something?
- Because we're talking about the Foundation.
The ones that are in charge
of all those government organizations are members.
- What's their plan? - Well, the first step
in maintaining control is to utilize--
[phone vibrates] - Ooh. Uh-uh.
- It's unknown. Sorry. Please, go on.
- Go on. Oh, I'm gone. - That's them.
- No, this is probably--it's probably just a bill collector.

Like, tell me what it is. Like, what's going on?
- When I was in high school,
I went out with this guy, and...
he seemed so perfect.
And I don't know. One night, he drank and he--
- He took advantage of you?
[sighs]
Damn. That's heavy.
- Yeah.

Got you something. - What is this?
- I picked it up a few days ago.
I think it'll be perfect for you.
- Oh, my God. - You like it?
- Yes. It's gorgeous.
- I figured "Golden Goddess L.A."
should have the Egyptian goddess of life.
Turn around. Let me put it on you.
I also want you to know,
never allow others to make you forget who you are, Laila.
- Thank you.
- No problem.
- I really appreciate you, Rome.
- Anytime. Anytime.
- And let me know if you need me
to put hands on old boy.
I mean, I know I'm a multimillionaire now
and whatever, but that St. Louis side is still in me.
Any moment now I'm ready to get it crackin'.
[both laugh]
I just want to make sure you a'ight.
Yeah, that's crazy.
- 'Cause if you ask me,
Coach should go ahead
and move you to the three spot
and have Tyreck come off the bench.
What you think?
- Man, you gonna interview me or we chilling?
- I'm just trying to make conversation.
- Oh, okay.
- That's all. - All right.
Well, in that case, how are things with you and Quan?
- Man, you know how me and Quan is.

scared she might kill me in my sleep times. Yeah.

you would be the single dude and I'd be the dude
trying to fix a stupid mistake with my woman?
- It's the life in the doghouse, bro.
- How do you get out?
- Apologize. A lot.
Be honest, contrite.
Let her know you feel bad.
- I know what contrite means. - Well, then do it.
You know, be sincere.
She'll forgive you. Eventually.
- And if she don't, she might kill a bitch, right?
- For real?
- Look, I'm just saying, man.

- Hey, man. Friends of Marques get discounts.
- Discount. How much is the discount?
- $1,000.
- $1,000? What if I put it on social media for you?
- Uh, $1,000. - Okay. What if I put it

- Then that's free.

And I don't have any clothes here.
I honestly really gotta go.
- Okay.
- What's going on?
- Um, it's just the last time I left for practice
and someone was here,
I came home to nothing.
And I just don't feel like dealing with that today.
- Come here.
I'll be here when you get home, okay?
Now go get ready for practice.
And don't be late.
- [sighs]
- Hey. - Hey.
- I was gonna make breakfast for us.
- Ah, early bird, my friend.
And I've got some good news.
- What's that?
- Your interest has been noted.
- Really? - Yup.
- That was quick.
- Well, you came highly recommended.
- What now? - Nothing really.
But there may come a time when they ask something of you
and you just have to return the favor.
- As we prepare our intentions to move forward,
we need to rid our bodies of any negative energy.
We wanna breathe in the good and release the bad.
Follow me.
One. Inhale. [all inhale]
Exhale. [all exhale]
Great work.
Namaste, ladies. See you next week.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- I needed that after Ndasia's crazy popping
and what happened to Eric.
I need some namaste in my world.
- Typical L.A. shit, girl. Just be like that.
- Does it?
- Honestly, I'm sorry.
I wasn't listening to anything you said.
I'm sorry. I was definitely thinking about something else.
But go ahead. I'm listening now. I promise.
- Oh, you sure? - Mm-hmm. Yes.
- Okay. So I went online and all of Ndasia's posts
that were supposed to explain this whole thing are gone.
Just wiped from the Internet.
It was like she never even existed.
- Damn. So what are you gonna do now?
[phone chimes]
What's wrong?
- Shit. - What? What happened?
- You know the other day when you were telling me
about the guy who came back and apologized
after all those years?
Well, you know, I thought something was up.
- You always think something's up.
- So I set an alert to see if he popped up on the news.
- And? - I grew up in this community.
I believe in its people.
And I will do everything in my power to help them.
That includes bringing in the new Vipers Sports Complex,
for the greater good of Inglewood
and the city of Los Angeles.
So with the support of my family and community,
I hereby announce my candidacy for the 43rd district
of the United States Congress.
[cheers and applause]
- God, I hope you out this rapist asshole.
- I'm just gonna
keep pretending like he doesn't exist.
- Okay, well, if he becomes a Congressman,
then you're gonna see him every time you turn on the TV.
- I can retire early if this all the money
y'all gonna give me every week.
- And that's your one and only, man.
- All right. - Whoo.
[phone buzzing]
- Focus. - Boss lady.
- Hey, man. See, why I don't like people
in my house? Mind yours.
- Is that business or pleasure?
Congratulations.

Do I press the brake and push?
You have a push start? [laughter]

You gonna lose more hair than you got on your head!
[laughs]
- I can't believe that.
- He really had a--
- I heard it was mind altering drugs.
- Mm-mm. No. - Yeah, yeah.
It's the same shit the CIA used to give kids in the '70s.
They just call it a new name.

- Hey.
The Eric Rowland situation is about to be closed.
I'm meeting with his girlfriend next week.
I'll keep you posted.
Not to worry.
- Next, on "Games People Play"...
- Do you see the pattern here, Marques?
You're self-sabotaging again.
- Quanisha, she's cooking tonight.
You should come over and eat with us.
- This is my grandmother's recipe, boy.
It's supposed to stay in the family.
- What's the problem?
Why are you mad at me all of a sudden?
- Every time Eric would come and talk to me about this,
I would just ignore him.
But when he died, I realized he must have been onto something.
- Got some friends that need a favor from you.
- Okay, what friends? - Them.
- A non-disclosure agreement?
Do you want me to just act like he didn't rape me?
If I don't sign this, then what?
- You may quickly see this life you've built crumble.
