Hey-hey-hey, hey, how are y'all doing?

This is the last show, how are you doing? Good.

Welcome to "Roc Live."

The last show of the second season.

Now, as you know a lotta people said

we couldn't do an entire season live

but I'm pleased to tell you, it's gone as smooth as silk.

Like a sea of tranquility.

Hey, Roc, Roc, Roc, Roc, excuse me.

Listen, uh, look at the last minute

they changed all my lines... Man, look at this.

I can't be working this way, I'm gonna just say the old stuff.

Well, then you go back to "Cheers," don't be comin' on

my show talkin' about what you will or won't do.

- Roc! - Yeah.

Our hair person isn't here yet.

- He got stuck on the freeway. - Where? What?

- My hair is a mess. - I cannot go on like this.

If you imagine David Lombardi will stop buying them cheap wigs

and use his own head, he wouldn't have that problem.

I was thinking, look, if you go to jail in this episode

see, they can change me to Roc, I'll come back as Roc

next year, "The Roc," the saga continues.

Yeah, that's a good idea, Jamie, I'll see you next season.

Get outta here.

- Where's the fire extinguisher? - It's in the back of the stage.

- Why do you want it? - Don't worry about it.

Oh, man, what's wrong?

And they said we couldn't do a whole season live. No.

Well, listen, while we are setting up for part two

why don't you stay tuned and look at

what happened in part one.

Holy mackerel! There is a fire.

Hey, hey, wait a minute. Hold on.

Previously on "Roc Live."

- I gotta talk to you. - Why? What's wrong?

- What's the matter? - It's my lil' brother.

He's hiding out 'cause Andre Thompson is after him.

Andre is not gonna kill Trey, now take my word for it.

And before you go out there and do something foolish

let me talk to Andre and straighten this thing up.

Roc, I can't ask you to do that.

Jackie, I'm your godfather.

That's what godfathers are supposed to do.

Now, you let me handle it.

You leave this up to a brother like me.

Somebody who got the proper tools

and know how to get the job done.

You know what I'm saying? Bang, bang.

Whatcha gonna do with that, huh? Ah!

Oh, no, not now, George. No! Man!

Oh, man, what the.. Come on.

Hey, how are you, how are you doing? Hey.

How're you doing? How're you doing? How're you doing?

Roc, I need to talk to you.

Look, George, now's not the time.

No, no. Look, I was thinking.

I need to get my drivers license, ASAP

because see ladies like it when a man has some wheels.

You know, not that I need wheels 'cause, you know, I got skills.

Oh, Lord, you mean you want a license

to drive a car on the street?

Yeah, but don't sweat it, because like I take granny

to the amusement park, we always practice in the bumper cars.

You know, rolling the bumper then drop the back up, you know

send it to the left and to the right--

G-G-G-George. Calm down, George!

Calm down, George, calm down.

Well, see, the thing about this is nobody ever takes time out

to teach me anything, you know.

Yeah, well, that's evident.

Well, see, what I'm saying is I had to learn

I had to teach myself how to talk

how to, teach myself how to walk, you know, how to dance.

Oh, go. Man, see? Work it. Ooh. Ah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're a good student.

You're a good student, you're a good student, George.

Well, then maybe, you know, you could teach me how to drive?

Man, no way in the world I'mma teach you how to drive.

- No, no. - I'll tell you what.

Just give me the keys, and I'll go drive your--

No, no, it's nothing personal, you know what I mean--

- Then, maybe, Eleanor can-- - Come on now, man, hold up.

People would be happy if I don't teach you how to drive.

N-n-n-no, w-w-w-wait, n-n-no, come-come here, come here.

No, no. Eleanor isn't home.

Besides, you know, I think you outta put a little more thought

to this driving thing. I mean, I mean, George...

I mean if you're driving, you know, then your friends will

uh, you know, will miss you, you know, on that little bus.

Ah, you know, I was thinking I could drive the bus, right?

Then, I have a crazy... "Hey!

You better turn that radio down back there."

- Yeah, yeah, okay, alright. - That's my song, yo.

- I'll get it. - No, don't you get nothin'.

You just stay right there.

Police. Detective Rush.

Well, can I... Can I help you, detective?

Which one of you is Roc Emerson?

Oh! Whoo, that's him.

Whoo! Don't drop the soap.

Mr. Emerson, we'd like you to come to the station house

and answer a few questions.

Uh... questions... about what?

- About Andre Thompson. - Oh, well, good. Okay.

Now you guys are finally gonna do something about that punk.

Hey, get a load of that.

Geez, you know, I had a lamp like this once.

I made it in shop. Got an "A" on that lamp.

Yeah, then one night, I was... I was on stake-out...

Well, a little woman threw it away, you know.

Bobby Rush! Alright, bucker, you got a lotta questions to answer.

Hold-hold on, detective, look. Wait a minute, listen, you know.

I mean I'm-m-m-m, I'm-m-m a garbage man, detective.

I found that lamp, I found, I found lot's of things.

Well, that would account for the couch.

Let's go.

I guess he should be here. Roc? Roc!

Roc, it better be one great perk for you to miss our goddaughter

and her group at Charlaine's. Roc?

Well, it seams like our little pack rat isn't at home.

I knew when he left for work this morning,

I shouldn't have told him I needed a new hair dryer

just watch, he's probably gonna bring me back a hair net

a busted fan and an old toaster.

Okay, y'all have to talk somewhere else.

I got some vacuuming to do.

Joey, since when you start vacuuming?

You have never vacuumed in your life.

Sure I have, I vacuum all the time, I used to va...

Okay, this is the first time, alright.

Joey, what's gotten into you?

Pop, listen, I-I never thought I would be... saying this

but I'm actually driving a woman away.

So, how does vacuuming fit into all this?

Alright, see, tonight I saw Kim, she was having fun

talking to some other man. So it hit me.

I'm driving her away because I'm spoiled.

Well, I'm not gonna be spoiled anymore.

From now on, I'm gonna do for other people

before I do for myself.

Joey, I really respect what you doing.

Thank you.

So when you finish vacuuming

I'm gonna let you do the laundry.

'Cause I love you.

And I'm gonna let you get me a cup of tea

'cause I love you too, son.

Sure, pop, I'll be right on that.

- Mm-hmm, a-and, Joey. - Huh?

A cup of tea sounds really good.

You too, huh? Okay, you guys are great.

I just hope this is a phase I'm going through.

You know, Kim sure has a way with him

just like his mother did. Except his mother used a belt.

Oh, stop, daddy.

Haven't we been through this already?

I don't know nothin' about it.

Why don't you just tell me why you shot him?

I told you, I didn't shoot anybody.

And I told you this is an open and shut case.

The sooner this gets over with, the sooner I can go home.

You can make bail, you're a big hero in your neighborhood.

What the hell do you get off accusing me

of killing Andre Thompson?

Oh, come on, Emerson, we had a big file on Thompson

your name is all over it.

You had motive, opportunity and you were at the Barber's Shop.

- You add it up! - I didn't kill him!

And I don't know who did.

Oh, I know.

It's really kind of exciting being down here.

You wanna soak up the ambience.

It's a tough place to leave.

Now, listen, come 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning

the coffee is cold, the doughnuts are stale

and I'm not quite as friendly.

Look, detective... I hated Andre Thompson.

Nobody wanted him dead more than I did.

But I did not kill the man.

"Nobody wanted him dead more than I did."

Is that the beginning of a confession?

Oh, you guys really don't give a damn, do you?

As long as you have somebody to lock up

you feel like your job's done.

Okay, who do you wanna pin it on?

How about your goddaughter Jackie? Or her brother Trey?

Then there is your vigilante friend Ronnie Paxton.

Wouldn't have trouble selling that to the DA, would I?

Detective, I'm doing my very best to co-operate.

But I don't know anything about killing Andre Thompson.

Okay, we'll do it your way.

Once more from the beginning.

What did you have for breakfast this morning?

I told you before...

...an Egg McMuffin.

Where is this man?

- Alright, so where is it? - Where's what, baby?

The perk you must have spent all night fixing up? What is it?

A color TV without the picture tube?

An old space shuttle with some tiles missing?

Oh, I know, an A track Walkman.

I'm sorry, Eleanor.

The police wouldn't let me use the phone.

- Police? - Yeah, yeah. Guess what?

- What? - Andre Thompson got shot.

And the police think I did it, they had me down

at the station house for two hours.

- Oh, my God. - My head's about to explode.

- Oh, Roc, baby, I'm sorry. - Yeah, yeah. Thanks, baby.

Mm. Lemme go get you something for your head.

Yeah, thanks, sweetheart.

- Eleanor! - Yeah, baby.

For this headache, I think you better bring me

some of the brand-named stuff.

'Yeah!'

Hey, Ronnie, what are you doing here, man?

- Cold outside. - Listen!

The police are looking for who shot Andre Thompson.

Yeah, I know. What's up, man?

Can I get a little brew or something, you know?

I mean Andre gets shot and you don't seem surprised?

And what the hell I'm gonna be surprised about?

Actually, I'm kinda happy that it happened.

Well, um, you know, the-the-the...

The police say that, you know, I-I-I'm a prime suspect.

Well, that seemed to be the word on the street too.

So now you know what that means.

Every little member on Andre's posse tryin' to get a reputation

is gonna be tryin' to pop a cap on you.

And I hate to be the one to tell you this

but you and your family just may find yourself

the victim of some type of little crazy retaliation.

Now, if I was you... I'd just stay in the house tonight.

You know what I'm sayin'?

Hey, Ronnie.

Where were you tonight?

Nay. Now, I didn't ask you where you were.

Beside, that's not even what this is all about.

You don't know, somebody might be waiting outside your house

right now for the perfect opportunity to get you or me.

And I'm not goin' out like that. Are you?

"Roc Live" will continue after these messages.

Well, this is really somethin'.

You think with Andre gone, we'd all breeze earthier, easier.

Instead, we're trapped in our own home.

Alright, pop, look, I don't want anybody goin' out,

you know what I mean, as long as Andre's punk friends

are looking for revenge. Now we just need to lay low.

- Sit tight for couple of days. - A couple of days, Roc?

We have to go to work.

You know, instead of the police accusing you

they should be protectin' you.

Yeah, that's right, sis. Shoot.

Police need to understand "Hey, we pay taxes too."

What? They charge taxes on the racing farm.

Oh, oh, Roc, be careful, baby.

- Alright, who's there? - 'It's me, Calvin.'

Oh, shoot!

Calvin, what the hell are you doing here?

Oh, man!

Hey, Roc, what's the matter? Some friends visit--

Yeah, yeah, friends also know when to leave.

Calvin, I'm sorry, but now's not a good time

for you to stoppin' by, we're in the middle of

family emergency here.

Yeah, go on home, son.

- Well, maybe I can help. - Okay.

Why don't you put my jacket and stand over there by the window?

- 'Roc!' - Oh, alright.

Calvin, I really, I realy think you should come by another time.

- Okay? - Okay. Goodnight.

Hey, looking forward to spending up my dinner in truck with you.

Maybe I should stand by the window? Yeah.

Listen, Roc, I just thought of something.

Jackie and the rest of the girls are rehearsing at Charlaine's.

Oh, man, that's right Jackie's much as a target as we are.

- Come on, we gotta-- - No. No, no, Roc.

I don't want you goin' out there. Can't you just call them?

Come on, baby, now. Jackie is family.

You know we gotta make sure she's okay.

- Yeah, but, Roc-- - Come on, E-E-Eleanor.

You know I gotta do this now.

Pop, I want you to take Eleanor next door until we get back.

- I don't need no babysitting. - Oh, come on, now, baby.

Come on. You know it'll make me feel better now, come on.

You want us to go next door?

- To George's and grandma's? - Yeah.

Well, alright, but if she starts doin' that puppet show

with her dentures again I'm outta there.

It'll be alright, pop.

I was getting my diaper changed, okay.

You know it's not me. It'll never be me. Won't ever be me.

Okay, guys. Let's just do this again, okay?

Hit it.

Sorry, guys.

Jackie, what is up with this lousy singing?

I just can't stop thinking about my little brother.

You know I went by the Barber Shop earlier today

to talk to that Andre Thompson.

- Are you serious? - What?

Hey, hey, hey. Listen, listen, uh, Jackie.

You don't have to worry about Andre bothering Trey anymore.

- Andre's been shot. - What?

Listen, listen, listen. Alright, alright, alright.

Now, we don't know what Andre's friends might try, okay.

So to make sure that nobody gets hurt

Roc's gonna take Jackie home.

I'm gonna make sure the rest of you get home, okay.

Oh, Joey, that's so unselfish of you.

You're risking your life for all of us.

Say what?

Is it too late to suggest a cab?

- Roc! - Calvin, are you following me?

- Roc, I gotta talk to you. - Oh, man! Look, Calvin, look.

I know-know. We've worked together for a few days, right?

And I know it seems to you like we're friends

you know what I mean, but trust me, Calvin

sometimes things aren't what they seem.

Yo, Roc, man, your father told me what you were doin' over here

so I came to see if y'all needed any extra lil' fighting powers.

Actually, Ronnie, what we could use is a little help

gettin' everybody home, man.

That ain't no problem, but why don't we go out the back door?

- Yeah, okay. Okay. Okay. - alright.

- Roc. - I'll tell you what, Calvin.

Why-why don't you go with 'em, huh?

Roc, it's about what happened in the Barber Shop.

Oh, I sure hope you gonna tell me you're not happy

with your haircut.

Roc, that's not it, man.

Roc, this thing's been weighing on my mind

and I gotta tell you about it.

And I didn't mean to put you

in the middle of this, Roc.

Roc, I shot Andre Thompson.

It was me. I did it.

You shot Andre?

Roc, for the past few years, I've sat

and I've watched this community fall apart.

I've sat and I've watched. And I don't like it, Roc.

I didn't like it when I walked down the street

I see kids on the corner with the dream of being

the biggest drug dealers they could possibly be.

What kind of dream is that, Roc?

They think that's their way out.

Those kids are gonna die before they are 20 years old.

Somebody had to do somethin'.

No, Calvin, look, I stood...

...in that Barber Shop...

...and I wanted to wrap my hands around Andre's throat

and choke, choke the life out of him.

But I didn't.

You didn't do it then...

...but you'd have gotten around to it, man.

We don't need brothers like you in the penal, man.

We need you in the community.

Calvin Hendricks, we'd like to ask some questions

about the shooting of Andre Thompson.

Oh, come on, Detective Rush. What are you gonna do?

You gonna roust everybody in the neighborhood, man?

Listen, Emerson, this time, we got a little more to go on.

It seems the manicurist saw the whole thing.

Come along, son.

Don't worry about it, man. The community is behind you.

Say, Emerson...

...I made a wallet in summer camp...

...had a lot of little Indian beads on it.

Keep your eyes peeled.

Don't disappear. There's more "Roc Live" up next.

Joey, you know, the other day when I said you were spoiled?

- Uh-huh. - I didn't mean it. I'm sorry.

You should've told me that before I painted the house.

See, I was just mad because...

...I knew you didn't want to hear about tour.

Well, listen, baby, you... you had every right to be mad.

- No. - No, no. I was being selfish.

I didn't wanna hear about the tour

I didn't wanna hear about Europe.

I just wanted you.

You still want me?

Hell, yeah.

Well, you know, sometimes

I think you deserve to be a little spoiled

but only on special occasions.

Ah, did I mention that today's my birthday?

Okay, here we go.

A water for you and a beer for me.

You know, Roc...

...it's really great what's happening for Calvin.

Even though he shouldn't have done what he did.

It's really nice that the entire neighborhood

is chippin' in to help get him some legal assistance.

Yeah, it was kind of crazy, you know

but it was his way of lookin' out for the kids.

Roc, I pray

our kids grow up in a safe neighborhood.

Yeah, well, don't worry, baby.

When we have kids, I'll work my butt off

to make sure that happens.

- Good. Good! - Uh-huh.

'Cause remember that day I had off last month?

And you and Joey and pop

went to the ball game and you and I...

...stayed at home and played them extra inning?

- Yeah, I remember that. - Yeah, I thought you will.

Let me tell you something, baby.

You popped one of them balls

clean out of the ballpark.

Wha, you...

You... you mean we gonna have a little garbage man?

Or little head nurse.

Wow! Alright. Alrighty, sweetheart.

- Hey, pop. Hey, pop. - Yeah.

Hey, pop. My sperm works. It works.

Hey, Joey. I'm having a baby, yeah.

- Hey! - My sperm works.
