He goes as an OFFICER waves Angela and family over... INT. FRANKLIN HOLDINGS - BOARD ROOM - NIGHT 55 Leah is sitting at the head of Teddy's conference room table with her shoes kicked up, looking at the model of the new FRANKLIN STADIUM.

I got some really good advice today. Olivia reminded me that we need to take down everything and anyone that threatens to ruin what we have built. And that's you. I'm taking over the company. And you're retiring early. TEDDY And why would I agree to that? LEAH The only things bigger than this table are your ego and this family's name. If you're the reason it
falters, you won't recover. And if that doesn't work, I'll call the feds. A few men enter with ELECTRIC CHAINSAWS. Leah nods. LEAH (CONT'D) Cut the legs off first. They start to saw the table. Teddy is stunned. LEAH (CONT'D) You asked me to find a seat at your table. I found one. Yours. I'm going to move to be named head of this company. It's not just about money, it's about building up Black folks. TEDDY You think you're different, but you're just as addicted to money and power as I am. He approaches her, towering over her as she sits at the head of his table. She sits in his shadow. TEDDY (CONT'D) My blood runs through your veins.
