Original subtitles

[Shella] They used to call you King David,

and now you here selling out your people.

David, where these men come from?

They're here to redevelop the entire property,

tear it down and erect a luxury mall.

-When did you stop liking me? -I don't not like you,

Oh!

You don't get to come here and disrupt our lives like this,

and not expect pushback.

Taking the Ville away is not going to make life better for them or you.

Sometimes you need a place to hold your memories.

You hated it that much?

[mellow music]

[David] You don't cross when you ask about us.

[Gloria] This is my home, used to be yours.

[AirPods chime]

[Arianna] Namaste.

My name is Arianna Willow,

and I will be your centered Chakra guide.

Repeat after me,

today is a gift.

Perhaps a little louder.

[David] Today is a gift.

[Arianna] I am kind.

I'm kind.

[Arianna] I am present.

[sighs] I'm present.

[device whirring]

[Arianna] And I am alive.

I am alive.

[Arianna] And I am enough.

And I am enough.

[faucet runs]

[Arianna] And can we challenge ourselves this morning

to set these intentions with a smile?

My name is David Young. I'm a good person,

and I'm about to have a good goddamn, motherfucking day.

[upbeat music]

-Raasclaat! -My man.

[elevator dings]

[upbeat music]

Coffees all around on me.

But we get coffee for free already.

[David] Then this is for y'all.

We're having dinner at your fav, and I am not taking no.

[Nicole chuckles] You good?

Am I good? I'm great.

-I'm out here living, Nicole. -Well, okay then.

Cool, cool, I'll pick you up at eight.

[Nicole] Okay, bye.

[AirPods disconnect]

I am kind.

Today is a gift.

I am alive,

and I'm doing well.

Well, it's working for me so far,

so maybe you don't know what you're talking about.

How are you feeling today?

You sure you're not projecting?

You okay, baby?

I'm great.

You have yourself a wonderful morning.

Be blessed.

Oops, you're early.

I've been thinking a lot about what you say,

and I appreciate your opinion, but you don't know me.

Okay.

I'm living in the present.

I'm emotionally available,

and I support the people that are around me.

I'm in a normal relationship with my girlfriend,

who I just made plans with, by the way,

because I communicate.

Girlfriend, I thought you said we weren't putting labels.

And I don't kill people off,

not in my head, anymore,

and I'm definitely not manipulating anyone.

I just think there's a better way to work the system,

and I have faith that I'm gonna make this project work

for me and everybody else,

and I don't need the negative energy you've been bringing.

I'm just being me,

and that should be enough.

I have to say, I'm impressed.

Clearly you've made a lot of progress in a short time.

You maybe don't even need therapy.

I'm sorry for my words earlier.

They were a mistake.

I was wrong.

You aren't harming anyone,

especially not yourself.

[upbeat music]

[music stops]

[car swooshes]

[sighs]

-Phone text, Dr. Halloway. -[phone beeps]

So sorry, Dr. Halloway, I'm not feeling well today,

and just wondering if it'll be okay

if we schedule for next week?

And thank you again for your help, [clears throat]

and again, I'm sorry.

[sighs] Send.

[message send tone]

[chiming music]

[car engine revs]

Yo, Dai, you're late.

Get in.

[upbeat music playing over car stereo]

Let me just drop these to Denise.

Sure, let's keep my uncle waiting.

[music blaring]

Hold onto that box.

I'm not tryna dab guava out of this custom interior.

[car engine revs]

[upbeat music]

[server] All right, sir, here you go,

and your guests have also arrived.

[soft piano music]

You always bring food to a restaurant?

Not usually.

[chuckles] Please sit.

You read the Withers piece about our project this morning?

Before it went to print.

So you think,

"The possibility of contaminating the the Biscayne Aquifer

Is nothing to worry about?

They're just coming for us with hypotheticals,

ain't none of it substantial.

Can't say I love seeing my company's name

and "potentially toxic contamination" in the same sentence

but if this all ends the way you say it's going to--

It will.

then I guess it will have to be worth it.

How's your brother?

He's doing great, he's...

Ah!

So my nephew was right.

Your little brother is the police officer that got shot in the Ville.

You should have said something.

We would have sent flowers.

You lied to me.

Nothing makes me feel quite as foolish as being lied to.

Are you trying to make a fool out of me, David Young?

Promise me a perfect launch to my mayoral campaign

to keep me happy,

when really you're looking to--

Deliver what I promised.

Why would you keep this from me?

-I wasn't trying to-- -Think carefully, son.

The next words out your mouth might cost you your job.

Any job, really.

A lie by omission is just that.

It's just my little brother can be a fuck up,

and I thought if I can handle this before it gets out,

I can save some embarrassment,

and I didn't say anything because I just wasn't ready to talk about it.

I mean, I didn't even tell the woman I'm seeing.

I didn't tell anyone.

But then I had a thought.

Really, I figured how this could helps us.

This is the turning point we've been looking for.

A natural space to start phase two of the plan.

You're saying you would be willing

to make some public statement about your brother?

Yeah, I mean, the story is big enough

to distract the press,

you know, get them off this environmental angle.

Man's hired to help redevelop the neighborhood

almost loses a brother into its violence.

Turns to CEO backer with a heart of gold

who decides to make a change.

[laughs] Not bad.

Only way this could sell better is if your brother died.

Where should you make the statement?

Town hall.

I'll have to be there.

Ugh, make it a party, some music, food--

That works.

We could invite community members, the environmentalists,

anyone who needs to see you being thoughtful and supportive.

Fine, but the commission will have to be there.

We've been looking for a way to appease Commissioner Corey Roberts,

maybe this is out opportunity-

A charity fundraiser at the same event.

Good, so this is done?

-The FOP. -The police?

If anything would sway the commission,

[chuckles] it will be that sea of blue.

You know what would be better?

Having your brother do it.

Do what?

Speak at the event.

Head up there,

talk about how we need

to quell community violence,

how this redevelopment is going to give a blighted community

of people a second chance.

That won't be a problem, will it?

No, not at all. He'd be happy to do it.

Good, you need to practice with him.

He'll need to be as articulate as you are, David.

I'm done.

I need a ride.

Then you can circle back and help David with the details.

[Elan] That's it?

You give me shit all day, and he lies to you,

and you don't fire his ass?

When you can cover your ass by sacrificing your brother,

then we'll talk.

Meantime, mind your business,

and help this man take care of his.

100K enough?

Let's do it Friday.

Get it over with.

[both chuckling]

[mellow music]

Sir, you want this?

[dog barking]

[JG] I'm not saying I won't go back,

I'm just saying I don't know when.

[Trisha] What do you mean, you don't know?

I dropped out to have our child.

[JG] Trish, I didn't asked you to do that.

[Trisha] I know you didn't, I wanted to.

I wanted to be here, be home, with our daughter,

and I knew I was good because you had a job, a-a pension.

You gonna eavesdrop all day?

Oh, shit, I mean, shucks, my bad.

I was just waiting--

I didn't wanna interrupt.

Creep.

You cold, you know that? Why you out of school?

Mom, Uncle Dai's standing outside where he can hear you.

Hey, come on in.

[mellow music]

[door closes]

Sorry for just stopping by.

Uh-uh, come on now, you're family.

So you here to check on your little brother?

[chuckles] I came to ask if you two were free Friday.

Some people at work heard what happened,

and they wanted honor J at this event we're having.

Wow, Dai, that's--

[JG] What would I have to do?

Just say a few words.

Thank you, talk a little bit about violence in the community

and how we can fight it. I mean--

It's stuff you say all the time.

I'm gonna grab some water.

Can I get either of you anything?

No.

I think I'm gonna get you some water too.

This about what you're trying to do to the Ville?

I mean it's connected, but--

Oh, come on, you know for a minute I actually thought

you were here to check on me.

-How you gon' try it? -Try what?

I spent all day yesterday defending you

up and down to everybody.

She said you was gonna try some shit.

-She, who? Shella? -Nigga,

you're trying to create a problem?

Oh, I'm just saying she's gonna be there.

Shella's gonna be--

Yeah, I talked to her this morning.

She gonna be at the gala.

You two still standing. Here you go, David.

Thank you.

Actually, I was just about to head out.

I'm even trying to convince Elijah, man.

Don't disappoint people,

especially if they coming to see you.

Everyone just wants to show you love.

No.

-[chuckles] Excuse me? -I'm saying no.

I got my hands full with my family and recovery.

-I decline. -What do you mean, hands full?

What are those hands full of, JG?

Trish, we need to have this conversation right now, okay?

J, just think about it, okay?

Just think about it.

Thank you, David.

What do you mean, you decline?

[door closes]

JG!

So you can fit us in for a walkthrough

of the ballroom at 2:00 p.m.?

[telephone rings]

I'm so sorry, Maggie, can you hold one second?

Hey, Lu, thanks for hitting me back.

Yeah, an all Caribbean.

You got the invite list?

I'm sorry, can you hold one sec?

-What? -You got the invite list?

I can drop it at the printer with the program.

Let me see the program.

All his spelling mistakes I've already found.

They spell check it for you.

Look, I'm not trying to pull anything.

Right.

I hear my uncle when he speaks.

Now can I please take this to the printer?

I'll do it.

Here's some simple things you can handle.

Fine.

Printer needs that program by the end of the day.

[upbeat music]

You don't like it?

Hey?

My bad.

[JG clears throat]

I'm sorry it's been loud, the past few days.

Me and your mom, we don't--

We both love you very much.

You know that, right?

Oh, come on now. [chuckles]

This how you're gonna treat your favorite?

Hey?

[in deep voice] You must pay the rent.

[in high-pitched voice] I can't pay the rent.

[in low-deep voice] You must pay the rent.

[in high-pitched voice] I can't pay the rent.

[in normal voice] I'll pay the rent. [laughs]

[in high-pitched voice] My hero.

You know how sexist that is?

What?

-Why can't a woman pay the rent? -It's not...

Damn, you used to love that.

Come on, Tren, talk to me.

You and me, we-we always talk.

Why was Uncle Dai here this morning,

and why does he want you to go to a gala?

Ah, nah, okay, look, that's--

that's nothing for you to worry about.

Yeah, we talk.

-Eat that ice cream. -I'm vegan.

-What? -I've been vegan,

and everything here has dairy.

Trenise.

-[door opens, bell chimes] -Trenise?

[door closes]

[mellow music]

You got this.

You know what to do.

Just do your thing.

You are, you know, enough.

[toilet flushes]

-Thank you. -[server] You're welcome.

I got something I wanna talk to you about.

Okay.

[chuckles] What? Are you dying?

What? No, I just...

I slept with someone.

Wow! [chuckles]

[phone buzzes]

-Is that her? -No, no!

Okay, so what? You're breaking up with me now?

[scoffs] For Marissa?

And now she has a name.

I'm not breaking up with you for anyone.

It was a one time thing, one time,

and it didn't mean anything.

So then why are you telling me?

Come on, you asked me to be honest.

I didn't ask you to tell me all the names of every woman

that you slept with. I really don't remember that.

-I think we should be exclusive. -What?

-[laughs] What is happening? -I like you, you like me.

Let's just make it official.

Okay, you're upset.

[phone buzzes]

-You're gonna get that? -No, no.

Look, I'm just trying to do the right thing.

You know what the right thing would have been?

Telling me about what happened to your brother.

-What about? -David, he got-- he got shot.

What's that got to do with what we talking about right here?

It has everything to... Are you serious?

No matter our situation, we're friends.

I found out on the news like I'm everybody.

How can you be serious about me, about us,

and you don't tell me about something so monumental

in your life?

And now you wanna sit here and talk about taking things

to the next level.

What kind of relationship would that be?

Wait, wait, wait, wait,

this whole conversation was supposed to be about us and--

Yeah see, you had a plan.

You always have a plan, researching, coaching.

Why can't you just talk?

Why wouldn't you just tell me?

'Cause it wasn't your business?

[phone buzzes]

You know what? I'm going.

Tend to your business.

-Please, Nic, don't-- -No.

You know who you remind me of?

I used to intern for Telemundo.

That look,

the ones newscasters make

when they're reading from a teleprompter, that's you.

You don't even look at me when you talk to me.

It's just like you're reading from a script above my head.

Hey, I don't-- I don't even know what that means.

It means, I think I'm done here for a minute.

Nah-ah. You will hear from me when I'm ready.

Good night, David.

[chiming music]

[Arianna] Today, we're going to focus on getting

what you need.

What do you need to be your best self?

And how can you learn to ask for it.

Intone oneom. Om!

To clear your mind.

[in group] Om!

Om!

[dog barking]

Hey, Shella. How are you?

The other day I catch you fucking,

and today you want to know how I am?

[chuckles] I'd apologize again,

-but you told my mom on me. -Mm.

Don't smile at me. I'm not charmed.

David, [chuckles] I talked to Glo last night.

-Bitch, you know I love a gala. -Gala?

That's what I came to tell you about.

It's an event.

Well, I'm flattered to be given an in person invitation.

Come upstairs and see what I'll be wearing.

[chuckles] uh-- No need to dress up, Elijah.

It's just a low-key event.

A low key with hundreds of people?

Boy bye.

[mellow music]

You think they didn't see that?

Whatever flew across your face when they said they was coming.

-I don't know what you're-- -Embarrassed of Mx. Elijah?

They practically raised you.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Tell yourself what you need to.

Shella, wait.

Look, I wanted to see if you were coming to the event.

-Right. -Shella, I mean it.

Look, I can tell you what's happening,

but come to the event where I can show you much better.

I mean I got a plan for y'all, all of y'all.

What is it?

Come see.

You say you hear me,

well, hear this,

I am not leaving.

This is my home, and home to the people I love.

Okay?

Wait.

Last person that held my door like that lost a finger.

I just wanted to let you know JG's been honored at the event,

and he wanted you to be there.

He made me promise I'd invite you.

Just..

If you talk to JG,

will you let him know I invited you like he told me to?

He really told you to invite me?

He said you saved his life that day,

and he's grateful.

I am too.

[birds chirping]

[Tare] David?

There you go again, living in your head.

Tera, it's so good to see you.

[Tera laughs]

It's been a few.

It's only a year.

Where are you headed?

Dress-rehearsal.

It's the last one before the end of semester showcase.

You excited?

-I'm terrified. -[chuckles]

Do you wanna come hold my hand?

You really want me to?

Yeah, I just said that, didn't I?

[phone buzzes]

Let me guess, you have to work.

I only got a few days to prep

for a very important event and--

And it's okay,

you don't have to explain.

Why don't you come to the gala?

We're in nonstop rehearsals until the show, next week.

I'll be spending all my time with the kids.

-Bring them. -To your work event?

Yeah, it's more like a community celebration.

There'd a lot of important people

from the city there.

Maybe they could perform,

call it a practice before the big recital.

You do know this is why we never got anywhere, right?

It's like you always have something else to do

or some further goal in your mind

instead of just enjoying what's around you.

David, honestly, what would you rather do?

Uh...

-I mean... -[sighs]

My mom called me saying something

about how she might have to move,

and your name came up.

-I... -It's okay,

you don't have to explain.

I wanna know how you've been,

and what teaching's like, all that.

-Oh, I'm sorry. -Don't be sorry.

I'm the one who shouldn't be telling people

about themselves on a ten minute train ride.

[mellow music]

[chuckles] I'll see you in another year. [chuckles]

Hey, J, just calling check to see if you've had time

to think about coming to the gala,

you know, and [clears throat] to see how you're feeling.

All right, well, I love you.

Um, yeah, so, hit me back, bro.

Damn!

Hey, Trenise?

What happened?

Did someone forget to pick you up?

I mean, what're you doing?

I'm at a bus stop.

What do you think I'm doing?

Since when do you ride the bus?

And where are you going?

Anywhere but home.

Trenise, look at me.

Hey.

Okay.

You wanna tell me why?

Mom and JG been fighting.

When do you call your dad "JG"?

Why didn't you just go to Gloria's then,

-if you were tired of them? -I did!

Grandma's got on my nerves with her hot flashes,

turning the AC up and down,

it's crazy, [tuts]

and she yelled at me in front of Ashok.

You like that boy Ashok, huh?

No, ew, what? No.

-Okay, okay. -Stop.

I mean I don't know if I believe you, but okay.

You had a friend who ran away once, right?

Grandma told me.

Why you ask?

She said she opened the house, 'cause you lost a friend.

She wouldn't tell me the rest.

Don't nobody tell me the full anything.

[mellow music]

You're not gonna tell me either?

No, no, I'm just...

Just tryin' to think how to say it.

You know, he was...

Seren was my best friend.

And he was in a situation at home

that was really, really bad.

And he needed to get out,

but there was no way to him without putting him in more danger.

I helped him.

Did you miss him?

Yeah, all the time.

[sniffles]

Okay, if I walk you to your Grandma's?

I bet she's worried about you since it's past your curfew and all.

I'm 13.

It's not even dark yet.

It's way too early for curfew.

Even so.

I'm gonna take myself home.

Sounds good.

I'll just be about six feet behind you,

minding my business.

[dog barking]

[mellow music]

Oh, shit!

[Gloria] Who do you think you are?

You think you can miss curfew,

and worry me out my mind?

You think you grown all of a sudden?

Ah-uh, don't look at them, look at me.

This is my house,

and when you're in it, you obey my rules.

Do you understand me?

-Yes, Grandma. -I did not hear you.

Yes, Grandma.

Now go think about what you did before your momma get here.

And when you come back down,

you better have an explanation ready

what you were feeling and why,

and acceptable alternatives for your behavior in the future.

Don't think you're going nowhere with that phone.

You'll see this in a week, if you lucky.

I trusted you, and you broke that trust. [sobs]

-Ma! -[Robin] Hey, you're okay.

-You're okay. -[mellow music]

Why they think leaving is okay? [sobs]

Don't she know, oh, my God,

if something would've happened to her, what would I have? Oh.

I know, I know that.

She gonna be all right, okay.

[Gloria sobs]

Hey, let's put you in a bath.

All right, come on. Come on.

And you'll make sure Trisha gets Tren's phone when she comes?

[Robin] Don't you worry about that, I got you, okay?

Leave it to me.

[somber music]

Bye, David.

Thank you for bringing her home. [sobs]

[Robin] Okay. It's all right. It's all right.

-It's okay. -[somber music]

Hey, Nic.

Hey.

I brought you a juice.

-This is a smoothie. -Exactly.

-David, what are you doing here? -I just had to see you.

I couldn't stop thinking about you,

and what I gotta do to make things right.

[scoffs] I said I needed space.

I know, I know, but I just wanna say one thing.

Things have been a mess at the office these past few weeks,

I've been under a lot of pressure.

And I haven't said anything about work,

or what happened to my brother,

because I'm just not the type of guy

who likes to burden someone else with problems.

That it?

-Did it work? -No.

Come on, Nic, you gotta help me.

Just tell me what to do, anything, I'll do it.

Look, I'm just ready to be in this.

I think I need you.

What about what I need?

I said space.

Nigga, damn, it's just like you're not hearing me.

You wanna start building something?

Start by listening to the words coming out of my mouth.

[mellow music]

[laughs] You are not gonna believe

what this event is gonna look like.

We moved it to this big house.

Dai, I already told you, I'm not gonna do it, okay?

Oh, the invites is out.

Okay, so who's fault is that?

[laughs] oh, boy, you know you're gonna do it.

Yo, it's gonna be on the water.

You'll be able to see the whole downtown.

-Will Smith lives next door. -Am I 12?

Oh, man, I'm just saying it's gonna be nice.

A real way to honor you and what you did.

Celebrate you.

Bring the family together.

-You believe that? -Yeah, I do.

Yo, why do I think you don't hear me when I say no?

I'm tired.

Okay, things are bad with Trish,

Tren ain't even talking to me.

I don't feel like doing nothing extra right now.

I'm not gonna do it, okay? I won't.

Shella gonna be there.

-She's gonna wanna see you. -And?

It's gonna be good for everybody.

Why do you want this so bad?

I said no.

That's it. Damn!

Nigga, all those years following behind you,

chasing you, cleaning up your piss,

and you can't do this one thing for me?

Man, what kind of brother--

Yo, J, just do this for me.

Yo, Dai, you good?

Ae you in some kind of trouble or something?

What? No.

Then something must be wrong.

All of this, and you left me that message saying you love me.

I'm good, I'm good. Just--

Just be there, all right?

I'll see you there.
