I ain't know it was her.

We want that money, man.

Okay, Kareem. I can't have that shit around me, you know that.

I'll take care of it, man.

Nia, what's up?

I cannot be seen with this bitch.

GoldenGoddessLA's been tagging us.

Does this bitch think we're friends?

MJ [chuckles]: After last night, I would.

VANESSA: This is my best friend, Nia.

-This is her boyfriend, Terrence. -Huh?

ERIC: So, he's in L.A., and you saw him?

-It was for Vanessa. -I didn't even know you was talking to him.

VANESSA: I don't want to start any drama

between you and your IT guy.

NIA: Me and Eric will be fine.

Yo, Marques, come join me, man.

MARQUES: Ah.

-[quietly]: Shit. -Good?

KAREEM: This is all you.

Nobody trying to shake Marques down but your ass.

You're still wearing the $40,000 wristwatch.

I need to get what's mine, and you gonna help me get it.

Hey. It's time to celebrate.

Mm. No. Mm-mm, MJ, no.

I still have a lot of work to do. Nope.

Girl, we just gave Kris the scoop of the year,

and you don't have time for a drink?

Yeah, sorry. Okay? I just, I have a lot on my mind.

And I don't think we should be drinking...

Oh, girl, don't include me in your "we."

I can work and sip. It's called multitasking.

It's called day drinking,

and it's forbidden in the employee handbook.

-So... -[sighs] Fine.

I'll wait till lunch.

So, tell me what happened.

[sighs] Okay, so,

we were at Vanessa and Marques's party yesterday...

An event to which I had to invite myself.

-Go on. -Okay.

And Eric and I walked in

and Vanessa called Eric "Terrence."

[laughs]

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Finish your story, boo.

So now Eric is pissed, and he accused me

of cheating on him with Terrence.

He knew you had other boyfriends.

E... Well, I mean, I hadn't told him about Terrence yet.

-Oh. -Or that he's in town.

-Oh. -Or that I saw him.

Oh, yeah, you about to be dry for a minute.

I didn't even do nothing.

And-- I haven't had sex in months.

-Ouch. -And now that my man is finally in town,

Vanessa wants to accidentally slip up.

You sure it was an accident?

Yeah.

What? You think it was on purpose?

I think sometimes ya girl's a hot-ass mess.

But why would she do that?

Look.

The only way you gonna find out is if you ask her.

There are no accidents.

I got to get to work.

All right.

-What up, man? -You the new roomie?

Yeah, man, uh...

We... we played against each other at A.A.U.

Well, I-I wouldn't say we played, man,

I-I had, like, 18 points, but you had, like, 40, man,

So what? They got you playing center?

No. No, I-I'm a-- I'm a wing.

Um, you know, I'm walking on.

I didn't do want to do the D2 route.

But I applied, got in, and I'm majoring in,

un, computer science and animation.

-[chuckles] -Want to build video games and stuff, so, yeah.

-Little geek geek. -A little bit, but I mean,

you know, I'm-a be practicing with y'all.

Hopefully, I get some minutes here and there and I can

-do a little something. -All right, all right,

but you're taller than a giraffe, man.

Shoot, they gonna find something for you to do.

-[both laugh] -Hope so. Uh...

What about you, man? What you, uh, what you majoring in?

Oh, me? Hmm. Basketball.

-All right. -I'm with that.

Hey, man, you want in on these?

I got the chicken flavor and the shrimp flavor.

Nah, I-I'm good, man.

Come on, man. The shrimp, I'm telling you: good.

Why-why don't we, uh, why don't we go get some burgers?

[high-pitched]: Burgers? I don't got no burger money.

[laughs]: Wha-- you were one the top prospects, man.

Don't they give you a scholarship?

-They're not taking care of you? -Yeah, they pay for your classes.

-Yeah. -They don't pay for you to get no steaks and lobsters.

-Yeah, you right. You right. Yeah. -[laughs] Yeah.

Look. Put that down.

Burgers on me.

Boy, you don't got to ask me twice. Shoot.

[regular pitch]: I'm-a tell the coach give you some minutes, boy.

Oh, look, I appreciate that.

I would definitely appreciate that.

I mean, he would listen to you.

About this burger, you know,

it's because you dropped 40 points on us, right?

-Well, let me get my jacket. -[laughs]

-MARQUES: Morning. -[yawns]

Hey, what are you doing here? I thought you had practice.

I told them I was sick so I could sleep in,

spend some time with you.

VANESSA: Oh, spend time with me

or play this little stupid game?

[chuckles] I can do both. And they're not stupid.

-They keep my mind sharp. -They keep your mind sharp.

-Don't knock it till you try it. -Mmm...

Love you so much, but I'm-a have to pass.

What? It's a retro classic.

It's one of your favorites.

It's definitely not one of my favorites. I hate video games.

It's my favorite.

-[chuckles] Okay, which one are you? -[clears throat]

Who do you think, babe? The one that's winning.

-Oh. Ah, she about to kick, watch. -Ow...

-Whoa. Eeh. -Ah.

-Hi. -Is she here a lot?

Every weekend.

Man, you said this weekend was mine, man.

I did, but Quanisha had to give me a haircut.

Okay, well, that's not our problem.

-Who am I talking to? She don't know me. I'm-a... -No, no, baby.

No, no, no, don't. Don't-- come on, be good.

Marques, I flew from Connecticut.

You said it was just gonna be me and you this weekend.

I know, it was supposed to be, babe.

Well, you know, Quanisha, she about to get back on that bus,

-and she could just... -Cool. -Maybe I could what?

-Nothing. Nothing at all. Nothing. -Oh, you think she fly

No, I flew to Vegas, you know, to the Bronner Brothers

My little trifling husband can still get it.

Okay, we are not gonna talk about your sex life

when mine is non-existent.

Sorry.

Mm.

-MJ had a theory. -About you?

About you.

-Uh, MJ's messy. -Well...

he thinks that you did it because of Laila.

Oh. Mm.

That's your little friend.

-Got nothing to do with me. -So you did see the posts.

Of course I saw the posts.

So you did it on purpose.

You know, I could have

accidentally did it on purpose.

I don't know. I was drinking a lot that day,

and I have all kind of shit going on.

Look, I didn't even post the pictures.

We were at the same party, and I was chasing a story,

and she needs to stop tagging me like we cool.

I don't know. I guess.

You should know.

I would never do anything

to intentionally hurt you. You know that.

Well, I guess you have been

-suffering enough. -I sure as hell have, yeah.

-Sorry. -MJ: Whoo.

NIA: I'm sorry, too.

That was the best lunch I've ever had.

Girl, you got three

missed voice calls from Lai...

[sighs] Oh. Hey, V.

-Oh... -How many voice mails?

Okay, I'm-a just shut this shit down right now.

-Good. -Three.

-[ringtone playing] -Hey, girl. What's up?

I'm not your girl.

-Excuse me? -Look, Laila,

I don't know why you keep calling me,

but let me make something crystal clear...

Yes, crystal clear.

I'm not your friend.

You slept with my best friend's husband,

-do you not remember that? -Yeah, dumbass.

Look, I never meant to hurt anybody,

and, to be honest, whatever happened

between Marques and I didn't mean anything to me.

Well, it meant something to his wife,

and if you mess with her, you mess with me.

-Period! -[sighs] I'm sorry.

And if there's anything that I can ever do

-to make it up to either one...-Go to hell.

[school bell ringing]

GIRL: Oh, look at this stank ho.

GIRL 2: Stop eyeballing me.

See, that's why she ain't got no friends.

Come on, shit happens, a'ight?

It don't happen to you.

Come on, dude.

-It don't happen to me. -Man...

Dude got a little point, though.

What you saying?

You don't miss a wide-open layup like that.

Matter of fact, nobody does.

Marques, what-what's your point? What you, what you,

-where you getting? -You...

My point is, you've been looking real clean recently, man.

-What's up? -What's up?

What's up is my hard grinding that gym every day.

JAMAL: Who's watching you?

Don't even worry about it.

What do you want me to do with the car?

I'm not taking it back to the dealer.

I don't know. Give it to my moms.

JAMAL: All right.

You need to learn to appreciate the fruits of your labor, son.

We earned this.

All right, well, you let my mom know I gave it to her.

-Yeah, a'ight. -Get out of here.

Yeah, I need to find my angle for the press because Kareem

-[sighs] -Hey, um, you need a moment?

Yeah, yeah, just give me a second to holler at her.

Cool. Going over here.

I'm gonna go ahead and head outside, that-- Yeah.

So you just decided to miss practice?

Okay. So I thought you might've been hiding

-from the investigation. -Investigation?

I thought you said we were good.

Well, I mean, you're not suspects,

but... persons of interest

-is what they call it. -Persons of interest?

Why didn't you say anything?

You know why? 'Cause I didn't want you

to get nervous, Marques, and do something stupid,

like miss a practice.

You need to act normal.

All right, well, a part of that is just me being myself.

And part of that is being there for your team,

so that your team is there for you,

especially if you get called in for questioning.

Questioning?

You're in some deep shit.

And if you want a way out, you have to listen to me.

All right? Kobe caught a case, his stats went up, he got off.

So under no circumstances do you miss a practice or a game.

Okay, Des, are you gonna tell me when to take a shit

and wipe my ass, too, or do you have that for me?

Okay. I'm just doing my job.

Okay? But you don't have to listen.

This is your life, it's your choice.

It's all up to you.

[door opens, closes]

Keep shooting, King. Don't feel bad, Kareem.

I think we can still win this. Okay, this is it.

Whatever you have to do to win, you need to bring it now.

-Okay. -Put it all out on the court.

If not, get ready to go home.

-Bring it in. -PLAYER: "Win" on three, "win" on three,

-one, two, three. -ALL: Win!

What the hell is you doing out there, man?

You know the rules. If I get fouled out, you go easy.

Bro, I couldn't stop. I got hot.

"Hot" my ass, man. You better chill out.

ANNOUNCER 2: Otis, what is with Kareem Johnson fouling out?

The biggest game of the season, and the team needs him.

I agree with you, Reggie, but DraftExpress

still got him projected middle of first round.

-They're going to have to make room for Marques King. -Yes.

I don't know where they've been hiding this kid,

-but he can ball. -Yeah.

ANNOUNCER: Eight seconds on the clock.

Ball to King. King with the head fake.

Down the middle...

-[buzzer sounds] -...and that's the game!

The Tigers take it by one point at the buzzer.

-[cheering, applause] -ANNOUNCER: What a comeback for the Tigers,

-and what a show for Marques King. -What's up?!

Yeah!

COACH: Get down here, let's go.

MARQUES: What's up, baby? What I tell y'all? What I tell y'all?

What did I tell y'all? What did I tell y'all?

Let's go! This my house!

-That's the game! -This my house!

That's the game! That's the game!

-It's over! -What's wrong with him?

Let's get out of this. Excuse me.

He did good.

This is bullshit.

Marques, what an amazing performance.

You did it on the big stage in front of a lot of scouts.

This could get you drafted.

I... I-I, I don't know about that.

I'm just excited we won, and honestly, right now,

I want to celebrate with my team.

You're a legend, though. I love you, Mama.

Appreciate it. Oh, my gosh.

It's crazy, right? Oh, gosh.

-GIRL: Can you sign this? -Oh, hey, hey, sign-- yeah.

-I got you, I got you. Appreciate y'all. -Thank you. Thank...

Appreciate y'all. All right.

-Can you sign this, please? -MARQUES: Yeah, yeah.

-Thank you. -Got you, got you.

MARQUES: This yours? This yours? Here you go.

GIRL: Thank you.

[cheering, applause]

What the hell, Kareem?

A lot of people lost a lot of money.

Because of you.

SHEILA: Kareem.

I-I'm glad you won the game,

but what happened out there, baby?

How you gonna foul out just like that?

I don't know, Ma.

That's way too much Marques King for me,

and it's not a good look for you.

All that work we've done is about to pay off.

Just stay the course, baby.

Okay? Just... just stay the course.

Look, man, all you gotta do is just

work hard, you ain't got to worry about nothing.

-Easy. Yeah, that's easy, bro. -I'll tell you the rest tomorrow, big dawg.

[engine starts]

[tires screeching]

[screams]

-Oh, my God, is he okay? -Someone call the police!

[Kareem screams]

Somebody help me!

[screaming]

-Somebody call the police! -We need an ambulance.

-Relax. -[crying]: My knee.

-911, what's your emergency? -My knee...

-We need an ambulance... -[sobbing]

BIG SISTER GEORGIA PEACH: Pledges!

Fab Five, halt.

Being a Gamma takes sacrifice, commitment.

You can't have it both ways.

So do what you want to do and be where you want to be.

I don't care if it's a worthy cause.

Is being a Gamma worth anything to you?

FAB FIVE: Yes, Big Sister Georgia Peach.

Li'l Sister Soulja, is there anything you need to tell me?

No, Big Sister Georgia Peach.

Get out.

Li'l Sister Deep Dimple.

Yes, Big Sister?

That was a good game.

Yes, Big Sister.

If your man goes pro, I want tickets.

Do you hear me?

Yes, Big Sister.

Did you go anywhere today?

No. No, I was gonna head out in a few;

when you texted you were on your way, I figured I'd wait.

Aww, you waited on me?

Ooh, I got you some shoes today that I think you'll like

and they had your size.

Desiree came over,

and we were able to handle some business.

What kind of business?

I got a lawyer.

Uh, what happened to Ian? I liked him.

Even though he tried to make me sign that prenup. I forgave him.

I got a criminal lawyer.

What, are they coming for us?

I don't know, but...

Desiree said that you should probably get one, too.

Oh, my God.

-[sighs] -Look...

Don't worry about it.

Let's just do what she says,

and... we'll be all right.

[sighs]

-Hey, Detective. What's going on? -Big basketball fan?

-I watch the games. -How'd you get courtside?

MARQUES: What you got going on there?

I am guessing it is the same text,

uh, that you got.

The police want to see us at 9:00 a.m.

-He said he was here, Nia. -He who?

Terrence. How could you let him in this house?

Ms. James. Memory kicked in? What else you got for me?

A friend of mine saw you at the police station today.

Because my friend is missing. Susie.

And the only reason I went to the police station

is because she worked for Roxanne.

Just like that Kalinda girl.
