You all right?

You're at Magnet.

Magnet means you made a choice.

Hey, I'll see you, bro.

Jessie Edward, are you ready?

Hey!

Why you gotta see the counselor?

She's worried I'm not getting everything I need.

- I'm not supposed to be seeing you. - And yet?

People need to see your eyes, Dai.

Keep your head up.

What the fuck you doing, nigga?

Playtime's up.

Your mom lets you hang out with dealers?

- No. - Let's make this paper.

Don't look!

I'm not nothing.

You talk to your friends about this side of you?

About your home life?

I'm an addict.

I wasn't here then.

I'm here now though.

I'm here now.

How you take care of your brother?

JG doesn't think first.

That would be hard, having to split yourself like that.

- Don't say it. - You in my head but you dead!

Don't be salty, Dai. You can still get it.

Ms. Shella!

What'd I tell you about the Ville, huh?

- It's crazy around here. - I live here.

What about Seren?

He gone.

You can't save everyone, Dai.

You try to go to Hurston, young bright?

I just came to ask you for your recommendation.

I'd like to speak with admissions about David Young.

Am I better? Am I?

You the man.

You try to track it down...

that moment.

That moment that it all changed.

The moment that you forgot to wake up.

I wish this shit would stop.

Mr. D! Regular like a clock. Time to put in the work.

Yeah.

- Yeah. Mm-hmm. - You like that?

Yeah? You like that?

Yeah. Now, rough.

Oh! Oh!

Creep.

Luck and opportunity.

Next stop, Government Center.

Whoa!

You gotta watch where you're going, sir.

You've arrived. Government Center.

Watch the doors. Watch the doors.

Excuse me.

Next stop, Downtown, Business District.

Hey.

I said you need to pay attention.

Watch where you're going.

You in a hurry?

You can't stop for a second to say sorry?

For what?

Oh, so you can see me.

I thought you might've been blind or something.

Man, you are an officer of the law.

- You bumped into me. - I didn't bump...

We bumped into each other.

I'll go first.

"I'm sorry, sir."

Look at you. Can't even say "Good morning."

- Good morning. - Hey.

Hey, man! I gotta get ready for work!

Fuck! Can I do that? Can I please get ready for work?

Calm your ass down.

Everything all right, Officer?

Yeah, it's cool.

This my brother.

You play too fucking much, J!

I'ma tell Mama, you out here cussing.

Call Ma.

- Hello? - Ma, David out here cussing.

- Leave David alone. - Yeah, loud as hell, too.

I ain't got time...

Thanks, man.

Dr. Menus, I got your Times 'cause I know you hate the Journal.

All right, Mr. Young. Thank you.

"Mr. Young"? Why so formal? We got company?

Oh, yeah.

There you are, DJ.

Man, I was wondering when you were gonna get here.

Jessie Edwards.

Hey, listen, I know I'm talking to you

before you've even hit your office...

Phil Jackson talked to Kobe before the court.

What?

I don't need you to hold my hand.

This is important to me, too.

Well, I wanna give you a heads-up.

The proposal... Would you slow down?

The meeting you're prepping me for is this way, right?

Everyone.

David Young, our best strategist.

And, David, you know Mr. Padilla.

Good to see you, David.

Joe, please. My nephew, Elan.

Sup, man.

They came down from their offices at PA Associates

to hear your pitch for the Homestead Village redevelopment.

I know it's supposed to be an in-house work session first,

David, but...

Ready?

- Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm.

Stay ready, don't have to get ready.

Two things made Miami:

Luck and opportunity.

Julia Tuttle, out-of-work speculator,

hearing of a frost that destroyed an entire

citrus crop north of Palm Beach in 1894,

sent a barrel of oranges from her own grove here in Miami,

to Henry Flagler, railroad titan.

Mrs. Tuttle wanted to show him and his company

how lucky Miami was to have missed the frost completely

and enticed him to invest in a station here.

And it worked.

Flagler extended his railway

from Jacksonville to this very spot,

making Mrs. Tuttle the founder of modern Miami.

Denise.

Thank you.

You all don't know how many times she and I practiced that.

So what's the luck here?

Well, PA Associates, your firm, would like Edward's, us,

to pitch your plan for redevelopment for a piece of land

east of the Redlands and Urban Development Line:

Homestead Village,

a relatively quiet and rundown housing project,

known only to the county district 14 voters, who, for years,

have urged Commissioner Corey Roberts to get rid of.

But almost nothing can.

It survived Hurricane Andrew,

and the last decade of political storms.

But here's how you know you're in luck,

you're talking to someone that spent

the first 15 years of his life living there,

and who knows, without a shadow of a doubt,

that it was poor then, now blighted,

and is screaming for redevelopment.

But where's the opportunity?

Stop the transcript.

Just type: "Mr. Young improvises a joke, blah blah blah."

David, we always record...

I know, we didn't practice this, but right now I just need you...

Mr. Padilla, I need you to clear the room.

- Pardon? - I got something I need to tell you.

And I guarantee it'll be worth your while.

I'd like to speak alone.

Thank you.

Go ahead, Elan. Just a moment.

You wanna make money or a name?

David.

This plan for redevelopment will eventually pass.

You'll muscle your way through it.

You have the money, the lawyers,

the means to drag this out for what, six, seven, eight years?

Ram it down the commissioners' throats.

They'll hate you for it,

but you will get the redevelopment of Homestead Village.

But that's not what you want.

- What do I want? - Opportunity.

What if I told you I can get your plan

permitted and approved in six months?

David, that's really fast.

That's why I said it out loud.

You have my attention.

First, we do this.

That... that's the mall we secured in Clearwater.

I know.

It was hell trying post-COVID

to get that approved, even in Tampa.

I bet.

Thank you for your time.

Mr. Padilla! Joe!

You're gonna get so much pushback from this monstrosity.

No offense.

But every commissioner is gonna get involved.

And not just Corey Roberts.

Yes, it's his district, but all.

Why? Because this, they know, has no chance in hell of happening.

They're gonna alert the press. They're gonna call the state.

Why would they want people to see it not proceed?

Because in reality, Jessie,

he doesn't want the money.

Do you, Mr. Joe?

Look, I didn't think to present this to you today. I didn't.

I didn't know if you were serious or if you were

just someone Jessie set us up with to milk for money.

But I think we have something you want.

After the fallout from the press,

we immediately halt the plan to build that mall.

We pivot and pitch the plan for the residential redevelopment,

the one you wanted anyway, ready to break ground, humane.

No one sees that it's still condos

that most people who used to live in the Ville can't afford.

They're still reeling from the fact

that you took back that big ass mall

they was all ready to fight you on.

All they see is Joe Padilla listened to the people.

And then you have them.

You have the money.

You have their respect.

But to have the voice of the people? Whoo.

That's enough real appeal and cache to launch

your own very successful run for strong mayor of Miami-Dade.

After all, isn't that what you want?

Mr. Young.

You gave us something to think about.

We will be in touch.

Thank you.

How did you know he wanted to be mayor?

Miami billionaire comes to you

wanting to revitalize blighted neighborhoods for fun?

Only in Miami.

Fuck, man, if this goes well, D!

Yeah, I know, J, it could be huge.

I mean, if it works out, maybe he'll use us for his run.

His campaign, I mean.

Fuck that. No. You wanna run an election?

My dad will wanna make you partner if this goes well.

With me, of course.

I told Joe if he decided this plan was the one he wanted to go with,

we'd have to up the fee.

Oh, yeah, naturally. We'll be doing more work faster.

Can we handle that?

I can handle it.

Uh, hey, he said he wanted your number, I hope that's okay.

You gave Padilla my cell?

Yeah, yeah. He said he wanted to talk some more.

He seemed excited, right?

Don't fuck this up by getting into shit you don't understand!

You gave out my number?

Now I gotta be on guard everywhere?

Let me play this my way.

Don't fuck this up. It's too big for me.

Hey, David, that cool?

Oh, yeah. That's fine.

Okay.

Fuck. Damn. Now?

David Young.

Hey, David Young, you're alive.

Oh. Oh, hey, Nicole. How...

"Oh, hey" to you, too.

Swear, if the D wasn't so good.

- I'm sorry. - You okay?

Apologies, just expecting a really important client to call.

Still on work hours?

So I guess yoga is a no?

Oh, yeah, my bad, I stopped at my mom's real quick.

Definitely don't want to be thinking about work here.

Why, what's work?

The redevelopment of the spot I grew up in.

I'm not sure they gonna see it the same.

David, just cut them some slack.

Explain it to 'em.

David?

You gonna help me get some sleep tonight?

How do you ask?

Nicely.

This man out here caking! Uh-huh.

I gotta go.

Tell Nic I said, "What's up!"

Excuse me, Officer.

Aw, here we go.

Hey, Dai.

Hey, what up, Yelle.

Where Ma? Ma!

She in the back. Ms. Glo!

You still not talking to me? Dai, you don't ever have no fun!

Nigga, what's funny about a Black man...

Hey! Hey!

I know your mama don't mind y'all using that word,

but try not to around these kids.

See, look. You went and upset Robin. Look at you.

What, he followed you to work again?

Yes.

I work there, too!

I got traffic court every Monday.

It's right by his job. He never wanna ride with nobody.

And I told you I had a big meeting to prepare for.

Yeah, "prepare."

Looka hear! At least speak.

She supposed to be working, she texting.

Hey, Uncle Dai.

- Hey, Trenise, how was school? - Tren, you ready?

Uh-uh, she not going nowhere until she get back at that table

and finish out them problem sets.

Just 'cause your daddy show up, don't mean nothing.

I run this house.

Then why is it called "Robin's Nest"?

Get your behind in there before I "nest" you.

And don't let Ashok do all them problems, he supposed to help.

J, are you doing the math sets with her?

She do 'em with you.

Rocket scientist, me.

You and Trisha need to check her work.

Progress report say she got a "C."

- Ma, "C"s are... - Cousins to "D"s.

David, what's this? How you? Ooh, you look tired.

JG, stop harassing him on the way to work.

He ain't gotta ride with you to work all the time.

David, would you ride with your brother sometimes?

- Please? - Tell him.

Jonathan, I said stop.

Get Trish to pick Tren up on the way home, let her do something.

Don't start on Trish.

David, I'm going to the Ville, you wanna come?

What?

Nah. Um... Next time.

Yeah, right. How long since you been down there?

Stop aggravating your brother. I love you, be safe.

Tell Elijah I said hi.

Bye, Ma.

Ew.

Something wrong with him. Why is it so cold in here?

Robin?

David, why you just standing there? You okay?

Hey, Ma, I got...

Ooh, thank you, yes. Can we turn the air down?

- What you got there? - I brought these.

From where?

You know she won't take 'em if they brand-new.

Uh-uh, y'all not gonna gang up on me.

Nah, it's just some sheets I ain't need anymore. Got 'em cleaned.

Thought y'all got plenty of beds, be great not to have to waste 'em.

Thank you.

David, you always been thoughtful.

These pretty.

Wait, David, boy,

who you think in this house sleep on a king bed?

- Well... - Let the man speak.

Y'all don't let him talk when he come over here.

I'ma see if I can get Yelle to make this into something.

Dani Yelle, get online.

See if we can make a Met Gala something!

You all right?

I'm good. How you?

I'm tired as fuck.

Running these kids all around town is draining.

And I be glad when we won't have to look after 'em 24/7.

We just cut 'em loose.

- Like a tag and release program? - Okay.

You wrong.

I'm just saying, it'll just be better up north.

How much trouble can they really

get into in Port St. Lucie, you know?

What's up there?

She didn't tell you. Fuck. Gloria?

What? I'm making something to dazzle these hoes.

- Dazzle these hoes. - Trenise!

Um...

We, um...

We been looking at this little spot.

It's, uh, it's in Port St. Lucie.

- We need a bigger house, Dai. - So y'all leaving here?

Well, you know, my license is up for renewal

and the foundation that manages the charity,

they think we could do better up north.

There's a whole lot of kids up there crossing

that corridor between Orlando and Miami.

So y'all gonna stop fostering?

No. Boy! No.

You know your mama would never.

She said after your friend, Seren, she just...

She gonna always wanna make a space for kids like that.

And it's getting bougie around here. It's hard.

It's hard to make the pickneys we do got feel welcomed.

I hear you. You know, I was thinking when I walked...

You know, the other day I got a courtesy lot upkeep letter.

In East Little Havana.

Now, you got all these people with cars parked on they lawn.

But we getting a citation for toys and clothes.

And Ma's okay with it?

I can't believe she didn't tell you.

She... She promised me she was gonna tell you.

Ah, it's okay. I mean, she'll tell...

Hey, David.

You still seeing that specialist?

What?

That therapist your mama's friend recommended.

You still seeing her about your sleep?

'Cause, David, you look tired.

Damn. I mean, like you look great, Robin.

I mean, you said that shit about...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. It's been a long day.

I'm just gonna go.

Not everything is fine in here.

I'm talking about the ones outside.

Okay, Elijah, what did you hear?

I heard a loud noise. And you know these kids.

What kind of a noise? A different noise or the same?

Will, you just listen to me, please?

Elijah, come on, you heard a noise. We always hear noises.

No, no, JG, just go down there. It's Hertrude's old spot,

one of these lil' "tany" head-ass

done broke out the wood for the window.

Mx. Elijah, come on, take these groceries.

Okay, I got that high ass oat milk and I even got the wipes.

- I'm tired, I wanna go home. - JG, listen...

Ooh, thank you, these gonna feel good, thank you.

Just go down there. I know it's them twins, Sassy and Smart.

Just go over there and talk to them about

the bird and the bees before they start acting crazy.

Elijah, this ain't even my jurisdiction.

Ain't you supposed to serve and protect?

The Ville ain't even my area.

Okay, now, come on, you know I just came to see you.

That's a lie, David. You know damn well...

I'm JG.

You know what I meant.

Gloria's kid.

Jonathan Greg.

Thank you. I'll give you the rest later.

I don't want your money, Elijah. I want you to be safe.

Now, you go inside and you get some rest, please?

And you stop calling me every time someone break a window.

You a gentleman.

I try.

Just go down there and look.

All right, all right.

Have you lost your mind?

Shella, Mx. Elijah told me to come and talk to you.

About what?

Everything all right, Shella?

See, look what you...

Yes, Ms. Cueva.

It's okay, Ms. Cueva.

- Oh, who that? JG? - Uh-huh.

How's Glo?

- She good. - Okay.

- All right. - All right.

Damn, like that? Just dismissing folks.

I'm trying to check on you, making sure you're all right.

You better leave before she try to get you to join her church.

- Do you go? - Sometimes.

Hold on. They letting online strippers up in church now?

Uh... I do not strip online.

I offer intimate advice through my tutorials.

- Yeah, I know. I watched it. - Oh, yeah?

You trying to have a less painful menstrual cycle?

It's for my old girl. You know she having hot flashes and shit.

They say the cannabis supposed to help.

It does. Oh, let me get her a bottle.

- Okay. - Oh. I'll be back.

Shella, I can't come in?

Nope, 'cause I keep a bottle by the door.

Don't you have to go pick up your

daughter and go home to your partner?

- Damn, all my details? - Boy, please.

I been knew you was with Trish.

And besides, Elijah tells all y'all business.

You know, they proud of y'all.

Yeah, well, I'm about to take the detective test,

so we all gonna be proud.

Who knew you'd grow into a whole dick!

I'ma grower, too.

Uh! Bye, JG!

What's up? Talk your shit now. Yeah, talk your shit.

- Yo, is you crazy? - Talk your shit.

Oh.

Oh, run that shit. Oh, hell no.

Hey, y'all cut that shit out!

Stop! Stop!

Get off of him! Move!

Hey! Stop! Stop!

Move!

Help! Somebody! Go get some help!

JG, it's okay! Somebody!

I need some help! Please!

We weird.

Okay.

We got some good news.

JG is breathing on his own.

We can't see him right now because he is in intensive care.

They are... They believe they will have to operate,

but that can't be determined...

until they've ran some scans.

The good news is...

The good news is,

they don't think the bullet hit any vital organs,

but there's still some internal bleeding,

and they have to find out where.

He's not awake, but he's still with us.

That's all we know, Trenise.

David?

Hey!

No.

Thank you.

You know what? You right.

I appreciate that, but my son is in I.C.U.,

and I'm here, so we gon' deal with that.

Good night.

I'm sorry you had to hear all that.

She just... she just worried about JG too.

She might be right, Ma.

I mean, yeah, she right to worry,

but, David, don't.

Your brother...

you know your brother is a fighter.

She's just worried about you.

I mean, she's right to be.

I'm okay.

I am.

I'm okay.

I would love for them to turn that A.C. up in here.

I thought hospitals supposed to be cold.

But this kind of stress, Ma, might not be good for you.

I mean... chaos and boredom?

What?

I'm just sayin', I just want to make sure you're good.

I mean, this whole thing could be really triggering.

Go home, David.

- Ma, wait. - Go home!

You really bringin' up me bein' an addict now?

Right now? In case I, what, forgot?

I remember every day that I wasn't there for y'all.

It's on my heart.

It's on my hands, David.

I am sorry for those times but, for the record,

I have been clean 15 years.

One-five.

But you wouldn't remember that

because every time we celebrate something, you got work.

Just go home. Huh.

David, we have all changed, baby.

We have... me, your brother.

It's you that's the same.

And I... I know that's scary.

You had to do a lot of growing up quick,

but you got a chance here to see

that the world has changed before it's too...

Huh. Go on home.

Go home, David.

Go find you some calm.

David!

Go back!

Happy?

So far.

Nice?

Yes.

Now rough?

Yes, please.

You like that?

You know you can come in.

No, thank you.

Well, that was new.

The coaching.

Oh. You mean that was cool?

I liked it. It's just...

trying new things on me now?

Coaching orgasms...

sex on sheetless beds.

My bad. Sorry, I...

I picked up some new ones, but...

I didn't get a chance to put 'em on.

You met me at the door.

What happened to the old ones?

Sweated them out.

You and whom else?

Me. Just me.

Hm.

Mm-hmm.

What?

I know you be bringin' other girls through here.

There is no other girls.

I mean... unless you into that.

But I'm not cheating.

Okay, first of all, relax your eyebrows.

Who said cheating?

I'm open. You're open.

We're open, until we decide to be closed.

This a trap?

Not unless you want to get caught.

Just be honest.

Did you tell them?

Your family, about the redevelopment?

I mean, it won't be for a while, anyway.

And you're in there somewhere.

It's sweet when you come out.

My breath tastes like dick.

Text me when you get home.

Yeah? So you can let your other girl know

that it's safe to come through?

- What? - Or other guy.

- Wild. - Ha!

David Young's a freak.

Good night, Nicole.

Bye.

Call Ma.

- Hello? - Hey, Ma, you still there?

- Yeah, still here. - Yeah, how is he?

We haven't heard anything new.

- That's a good thing, I guess. - Okay.

I promise, I will call you as soon as I hear anything.

I'm about to go to bed. I just wanted to call and make sure.

Look, I'm praying.

I know, baby. Thank you.

- I love you. - I love you too.

Okay, let me get back in case the doctor comes.

Hey, Ma, look, I'm sorry about earlier.

I was...

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hey.

Thanks for coming.

I have a choice?

What?

At work you're accommodating,

but at home... private, guarded?

What you drink?

I don't.

Ah, I've heard that.

That can't be why you called me up here, Mr. Padilla.

Joe.

That can't be why you called my private line

at 3:00 a.m., Mr. Padilla.

That plan today...

bold as brass.

Risky.

It'll work.

How?

I'll make it work.

I believe that.

Question is... why?

What do you want?

- We all want... - No, no, no, no, no, no.

Not we.

You.

What do you want?

I can't tell.

I can't tell if you don't know, or...

just aren't saying.

I want to do my job.

That's a lie.

You don't present a plan like that,

selling out the place you grew up...

It's not easy.

That's right.

That's right, it's not.

You could easily have let me waste my money

for six years fighting city hall

on a plan that eventually would have gotten done.

But you knew better.

You still can, if that's what you want.

Mmm... not what I asked.

I'll start.

It's true.

I want to be mayor.

I want a legacy,

right here in Miami.

Nepotism and shortsightedness

have made this place almost un-fucking-tenable for business.

And they don't get it.

The commissioners, the mayors,

they don't get it.

In order for business to...

just to stay here,

business needs to live here.

People have to want to put down roots...

not just party.

You do that

by investing in longevity.

Infrastructure.

For me to win mayor...

people need to see progress.

Quick, bold progress.

And your plan can get them to notice without buying attention.

I want that.

I do.

That's what I want.

What do you want, son?

- I want to do that for you. - Why?

'Cause I want to make partner at Edwards.

Edwards don't know shit from shine.

Otherwise, he would have never let you run that meeting.

And I'm hoping you do know the difference.

You know I do.

How 'bout if you do this?

If it comes to pass exactly as you predicted...

I become mayor...

you resign from Edwards.

And why would I do that?

You have to quit in order for me to appoint you

county executive.

Fair?

Nothing's fair.

Barrel of oranges.

So, am I hired?

Until you are fired.

Let's see if you have more

than just vision.

An officer was shot out there tonight.

In the Ville.

All over the news.

Think it can hurt us?

What we are doing.

No.

Good.

Good night, David.

Buenas noches.

Go back!
