- Oh.
- Here we go. OK.

What is... what is this?

Well, it's blueberry and ricotta toast.

Blueberry and ricotta. What...

What happened to the eggs
and the cracklin' bacon and...

I think it looks great, honey.

- It tastes great, too.
- You see, Dad?

- Jordan's inhaling his.
- OK.

Dad, if you don't want yours,
I can take it off your plate.

Excuse me. Greedy with your...

Let me... all right.

Mm. Well?

I stand corrected. This is delicious.

- I know.
- All right.

Way to go. Mm.

So, have you, uh,

decided what you're gonna
say to your team today?

I'm, uh, still working on it.

- Wait, what's that?
- Mm.

After today's Spring combine,

dad's gonna tell his team that he's
leaving Crenshaw for the GAU job.

- How do you think they'll take it?
- I don't know.

Coaching change at this level,

- they hit a little bit harder, so...
- Mm.

The players look at
me as a father figure.

- Grace is gonna be there...
- Mm-hmm.

If the players need help afterwards.

- And I'll be there.
- Yes.

- Why are you going?
- Because Beverly players are gonna be there.

I'm gonna help out with
the drills, you know,

- throwing to the wide receivers.
- Hmm.

You think anybody else would
want to help out, like...

like Spencer? I know the
players look up to him.

What do you think?

- Babe.
- Hmm?

If you want to make things right
with Spencer, just call him.

Take the first step.

Well, I'm glad you liked the
blueberry and ricotta toast...

- Mm-hmm.
- But I can't take all the credit

- because it's Layla's recipe.
- Hmm. What? Really?

- Never made this for me.
- Why would Layla make you breakfast?

Because we're friends.

You guys, I missed this,

- the four of us.
- Yeah.

This is nice. We should
do this more often.

- I'm in.
- Me, too.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

So, like, what? Once a week?

- Uhh...
- Well...

I don't know about that.

OK, how 'bout...

Once a month, just us?

OK? Then it's settled.

Once a month, breakfast
with my favourite team.

- Yeah.
- All right. Bring it in.

- Cheers.
- Yeah, Baker breakfast.

Wait, so Liv doesn't want to be friends?

Naw, she wants to be more than friends.

Bro, but y'all tried that
already and it didn't work.

"Didn't work" is a little
oversimplified, but I guess.

- Now, look, do you still love Liv?
- Yes.

But am I still in love with her?

I don't know.

How do I know what I feel

when I'm around her isn't
just echoes from what we had?

Those are good questions.

What did Alicia say?

- Huh?
- "Huh"?

What did your current girlfriend say

about your ex-girlfriend
wanting you back?

I ain't tell her.

- What?
- What? Look,

I'm too busy trying to
figure out what to say to Liv,

who I'm kinda avoiding right now

'cause she wants to meet up today.

Bro, there's way too much
history between you two

for you to just be
blowing her off like that,

so if you are gonna avoid her,

you better have a legit reason.

Are you wearing a cardigan?

No, it's an official Coastal
California sweater vest.

You're gonna wear it to the combine?

Well, now I'm not so sure.

It's fine. You look coach-y.

- That's what I was going for.
- Good, good.

All right.

Wish me luck.

- You're leaving right now?
- Yeah, it's... it's a long drive. Why?

Nothing. I wanted to talk to you

about something, but it can wait.

Is everything OK?

I guess that depends on your reaction.

- To what?
- I'm pregnant.

Now that I have your reaction,
ask me again how I'm doing.

No, I'm... I'm... I'm sorry.

OK, um...

Let me call the other coaches,

let 'em know that I can't
cover the combine, OK?

We have plenty of time to talk.

Well, I don't know about plenty, but

we have time.

You should go to the combine,

wear your little cardigan.

- Sweater vest.
- Yeah.

We can talk when you get back.

Dad. Hey, I didn't
know you were in town.

Hey, um, I'd like to speak
with my daughter alone, please?

Yeah, no problem.

OK.

Well, I can tell you're upset,

but can I hug you at least?

I haven't seen you in months.

Mmm. Look, I'm sure
you know why I'm here.

Um, 'cause Clay gave us our name back?

Everything I built at Keating
Records, my life's work,

- it's gone.
- Well, the music catalogue's still there.

With somebody else's
name attached to it.

It was created with my name.

Right. Well, if the name
meant so much to you,

maybe you should've left it to
someone who shared that name.

I should've been your legacy, Dad,

not Clay, and I fixed that.

Hey, I'm your blood and
the legacy will carry on.

You were so adamant about
wanting to build your own thing,

I didn't even know you wanted the
company, and I apologise for that.

But I worked really hard to build
Keating Records from scratch.

Yes, you are my legacy,
but so is that company,

at least until someone
stripped my name from it.

Sorry.

One day you'll understand.

A.J., where you goin'?

- Detention.
- Uh, detention is that way.

I'mma hit up the candy machine first.

The candy machine in
the teachers' lounge?

- Ain't no teachers here on Saturday.
- I'm here.

Look, it's my job to make sure
that you get to detention on time,

but you got 20 seconds. 19, 18,

- 17.
- Hi, Daddy.

Amina, what you doin' here?

I don't get you until next weekend.

Mema dropped me off early,

- so we can spend the weekend together.
- Nice.

Look, I have to, uh,
supervise this detention thing,

but you can hang out in Billy's office.

Coop is meeting me here for lunch.

She'll be glad to see you.

Come here, baby girl. Mm.

Mm. I miss you.

- Working another Saturday.
- Huh.

Just doing some research.

Did you hear the big news?

- Mm-mm.
- Your article

has been picked up in
8 major news markets.

Detroit, Atlanta, Philly.

A local morning show in Chicago

is even running an
on-air segment about it.

- Wait. Seriously?
- Congratulations.

It's too bad I had to
turn down the interview,

but this is still huge for you, and us.

Uh, wait... what... uh, what interview?

They wanted to talk to the journalist

who wrote the article... Jayden Davis.

Tsk.

Sucks that I don't get any
credit for my own article.

You chose to go the pseudonym route.

But everyone here knows who wrote it.

- Big things are coming to you, Liv.
- Mm.

You're feeling guilty, aren't you?

My dad just looked so heartbroken.

So what's your plan?

- I guess talk to Clay.
- Mm.

I... I don't like the idea
of you having to grovel.

Who said anything about groveling?

- Not me.
- Yeah, I don't grovel.

- Of course not.
- Yeah.

- You don't grovel. No.
- Hey.

Relax. Y'all know ya ain't gotta
pretend in front of me no more.

- Uh, sorry. Force of habit.
- Right.

I should get going.

Yeah. I gotta get outta here, too, so...

I'll see you later.

- Bye, Spence. Bye.
- Later.

- Actually, yo, Spence.
- Yeah?

I am helping out at the
Spring combine today.

You know, just giving some high
school juniors a chance to shine.

- Don't suppose maybe you'd want to pitch in and...
- Yes.

- Yes, definitely. Let's do it.
- Really?

OK, that was unexpectedly easy.

Well, I kinda need
something legit to do today

to get out of something
else, so this is perfect.

Must be something you really
want to get out of badly

if you're willing to
spend time with my dad.

Who said anything about
spending time with your dad? No.

No, it's a big field,

and I'm there for the players, not him.

Come on.

OK.

Hey, Ash.

- What's up?
- Hey, Coach.

Aren't you going to the combine?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm... I'm
on my way there now.

- OK.
- I just wanted to get some advice.

Oh. OK. Can we discuss
it at the combine?

My girlfriend is pregnant, Coach.

OK.

Wow.

That is the first time that I've

said it out loud. It feels, uh...

- Yeah, it looks like it.
- Coach, I have...

A hundred questions and
not one single answer.

- You'll be ready.
- How do you know?

Because you're the most prepared
player I've ever coached,

so, we're gonna be just fine.

OK?

Now, we gonna go to this combine

or we're gonna talk
about your kid all day?

- Yeah, sorry. Uh...
- OK.

- I'll, uh, I'll see you there.
- OK, yeah. All right,

um, that's the kitchen,
it's that direction.

So you're in no condition to drive,

so why don't we take the
Crenshaw bus together?

- Yeah.
- Yeah. There we go.

- Yeah, thanks.
- This way.

- Open up. There we go.
- Yeah.

Yo, where did you get these?

We got a snack machine
in the teachers' lounge.

Dawg, I just broke my tooth.

This thing gotta be, like, 30 years old.

Tastes good to me.

Well, then, see here.
You can have mine then.

Amina.

What did I tell you about
eating that much sugar?

You said it'll rot my teeth.

Uh, you need something, Mrs. Moore?

Yes. I need my granddaughter.

Are you forgetting we have full
custody of her? This was stupid.

Why did you drop her off early if
you was gonna come at him like this?

The judge is gonna hear about this.

It's not his fault.

I ran away.

- Wait. What?
- I'm sorry, mema.

I lied and said you dropped me off early

- 'cause I don't want to move to Baltimore.
- Baltimore?

- Ain't nobody goin' to Baltimore.
- We are.

We're moving there at the end
of Amina's school semester.

The hell you are.

Amina, let's go check out the gym.

Is this the part where you get all tough

and you try to intimidate me?

No, it's not like that.

Amina's our responsibility,

and she's better off without you.

I know the real you. I watched
you grow up on these streets,

and that's why I'm taking
her far away from here,

and now you don't get her next weekend.

OK, so rewind.

My sister asked you
to get back together?

- Yep.
- And you didn't say anything?

She ain't give me a chance.

But she wanted to
talk today and instead,

- you're doing the combine?
- Bro, you asked me for my help.

Nah. You are just avoiding
her. That is not cool.

- Whose side are you on, dawg?
- My sister's.

OK, look, cool.

- You want me to leave, I'll leave.
- No, no, no, no.

Come on. We're already here, all right?

Besides, you probably
already blew it with Liv,

but my dad was glad you agreed to come.

- Why'd you tell him?
- 'Cause it was his idea.

He asked you to bring me here?

I mean, he mentioned it. It wasn't
like it was some devious plan.

Bro, now he's gonna think I'm accepting

some olive branch that
I ain't ready for yet.

You gotta relax, dude, OK?

You are the one who is making
everything more complicated here,

more complicated here, all
right, with Olivia and my dad.

I'mma go check out these wide receivers.

I...

Yeah, this looks good. I like that.

You didn't waste any time.

Rebranding is our main focus right now.

- What do you think?
- Clay Taylor Entertainment?

- You really going with the initials?
- It's our new logo. Why?

- CTE?
- Mm-hmm.

You know that's a sports injury-related

- brain condition, right?
- Can I help you with something?

Yes, actually. Good news.

You don't have to use the CTE logo.

It's Clay Taylor Entertainment.

- No, it's Keating Records.
- What?

You can have the name back.

I was wrong.

Do you really think you were wrong,

or did Daddy say you were wrong?

Does it matter? You
can have the name back.

- Congratulations. You win.
- I already won.

I got the artists, the
catalogue, and the empire.

- Now it's all under my name.
- CTE.

It's Clay Taylor Entertai...

Look, the ball is already
rolling on this rebranding.

It's too late, so you
can keep the Keating name.

Now go work on them daddy
issues somewhere else.

I have an empire to run here.

D, let me holler at you right
quick. This looks good, man.

Maybe we can get another
sign right here...

Crenshaw got some crazy talent
coming back next year, Coach.

Yes, sir.

Shame I ain't gonna
be out there with 'em.

Oh, come on, now.

You know you're gonna be
ballin' out there at Coastal.

- Hmm.
- Only bigger and better things for you, son.

- What about you?
- Hmm?

Bigger and better things
in your future, too?

- There's a lot of smoke about you leaving...
- Yeah.

So guys are starting to ask questions.

I'mma tell the team today.

Well, whatever you decide,
Coach, I got your back

'cause, I mean, without you...

If I didn't come play for you,

there would be no bigger
and better in my future.

Come on, man.

I'll never forget everything
you did for me, Coach.

I appreciate that.

Thank you, son.

Get outta here.

Hey, Coach.

Oh, it's my husband's ace recruiter.

I don't know about that.

I mean, you were my secret weapon

- and now you're his.
- Yeah, right.

You just had another great
season at Beverly without me.

Ah, well, when you were by my side,
it was definitely a lot easier.

- I do want to know your secret.
- To coaching?

- Yes.
- Hydration.

Such a Montes answer.

- Oh, what's happening here?
- Coach.

Beverly reunion in the house.

- Hey, Coach.
- Good to see you. Good to see you.

So, how's, uh...

How's my old office?

Just keep adding banners to it.

I was just asking Montes
her secret to coaching.

- What's yours?
- I'm not giving you my secrets.

We're rivals next year, bruh.

- Yeah.
- Yeah. I, uh, I keep forgetting.

Yup.

Look, um...

I want you both to know
how much you've meant to me.

You both helped me become
the person that I am today.

Now I'm... I'm gonna walk away

- 'cause I know Montes hates these moments.
- Ha ha!

I do, but, uh, thank you, Coach Adams.

- Welcome.
- Thank you, sir. It's been a pleasure.

So the rumours are true.

You and Adams are gonna
be rivals next year?

Uh, yeah, yeah.

I, uh, haven't...

Haven't told my team yet.

Do you ever think about what
your next step is gonna be?

Beverly is my next step.

I mean, look at what we get to do.

I love this.

And these kids need
us, they look up to us,

and they still love football.

You know, some people
assume that I haven't applied

to a D-1 job because I'm a woman, but,

really, it's because...

I'm right where I belong.

Hmm.

Doesn't get any better than this,

and I'm sure that you have your
reasons for moving on, but...

I'd be crazy to leave.

You're gonna make a great coach at GAU,

but you're a great man in Crenshaw.

You'd be insane to walk away from that.

Nice grab, nice grab, nice grab.

You up, Crawford. Let's go. Let's go.

Spence, squad about
to be legit next year.

'Bout to get Coach Baker his
second state championship.

You up, man. Let's go.
Go get it. Go get it.

Eddy.

Come here, man.

- Yo, Spence.
- What's funny?

You out there dropping
easy passes and laughing?

What's funny about
having stone hands, bruh?

Yo, you ain't gotta do
me like that, big dawg.

I dropped a pass. I'll
catch the next one.

- No big deal.
- No, no, it is a big deal.

It ain't about the dropped ball, man.

It's about you showing all those
college coaches that you don't care.

Look, we all know you got big talent.

Do not give these coaches a reason
to pass on you, man. Come on.

- Yes, sir.
- Let's go.

Everybody, it's Spencer James.

Man, I just had a very scary flashback

- to you getting on me at practice.
- Hey, it worked, didn't it?

Oh... so you taking full credit
for my schollie at Coastal?

Nah. No, you earned that.

Mm, you definitely helped, though.

- Mm-hmm.
- That's for sure.

Man, you lucky.

You get to be reunited with
Coach Baker at GAU next year.

Yeah, but at what cost?

Look, if you ask me,

Coastal's the lucky one.

They got themselves a star.

But you know we gonna have to
play each other next year, right?

Yeah, October 7.

You already know the date?

Oh, it's been circled.

- You better be ready, man.
- Boy, I stay ready.

- I hope so. Hey, good to see you, bro.
- Proud of you, man.

Hey, thank you.

Let's go, 14.

- Ah! There you go, there you go.
- Good stuff.

That's what I'm talking about, Eddy.

- Tamia.
- Hey, Ms. Moore.

Where's your mum?

Uh, she ain't comin'.

What do you mean? I just
got off the phone with her.

She told me to meet her here for coffee.

I asked her to do that because
I knew you wouldn't meet with me.

Tamia, I know what you gonna
say, and it ain't gonna work.

Can we please just have the coffee?

- All right, I ordered yours already.
- Mm.

And then you can call
and yell at my mum later.

Oh, I'll call her.

She'll probably be waiting on it.

So...

She told me you were
working in a law firm?

Yeah. I am.

You have really turned
your life around, huh?

I have, and so has Preach.

We're moving to Baltimore, Tamia.

OK, but don't move because you think

you're protecting Amina
from her dad, all right?

Not until you get to
know the real Preach.

Oh, I know him. I watched him grow up.

And you watched me grow up,

and you just said yourself I
was able to turn my life around.

Why are you so sure he
can't turn his around?

You gonna talk to him?

I already did the other day.

Ain't nothing left to say.

If that was true, you wouldn't be here.

I'm just helping out

- and avoiding Liv.
- Why?

- She wants to get back together.
- Is that a bad thing?

I don't know yet.

I mean, what's really
changed since we broke up, Ma?

You have. I mean, you're
not as happy, baby.

I'm just acknowledging a fact.

OK.

I'mma let you sit with that,

- but as for Billy...
- Why'd you forgive him so easy?

First off, Billy didn't
need my forgiveness.

I mean, I confronted him, I
spoke my piece, we're moving on.

You ain't gonna be divided forever.

Look, I told you, I
already said my piece, Ma.

Did you?

'Cause it seems like you might have

a little more that needs to be said.

♪ Something so real ♪

♪ You're my little sweet thang ♪

♪ You're my little sweet thang ♪

♪ You're my little sweet thang,
sweet thang, sweet thang ♪

So, what do you think?

- Um, it's good. It's great.
- Yeah.

That's what I wanted to hear.

Um, now can I say something
you might not want to hear?

Hey, um, I just feel like
it's missing something.

Some of the levels are a bit rough.

You know, I'd... I'd
just get rid of the fluff,

and it feels a bit crowded.

I don't think you need
to fill all that space

- 'cause her voice is so strong.
- Mm. Anything else?

Um, well, the reverb at
the beginning has gotta go.

I mean, you could... you could
add some compression in a few spots

or try it and see where it
gets you. You know, I mean,

we can even add some
now if you've got time.

- Yes, please, yeah.
- OK.

- Dad.
- Hey. This a bad time?

Hi. Um, you know Shawn Stockman.

Oh, hey, it's been a
while, but we go way back.

- Come on. Hey, hey.
- Good to see you.

You know how many times
this guy turned me down?

Uh, it was never really the right time.

Yeah, right.

- Hey, what are you doing here?
- Actually, I'm here

to test your daughter out, man.

She's making a hell
of a name for herself,

and now I believe the hype.

So you knew what was missing.

I did, um, and I needed
you to hear the same thing,

that is, if we're gonna
produce this song together.

Wait. Are you serious?

- You... you want to produce with me?
- Listen.

I've sent this song to
about 20 producers or more,

and you know how many criticised it?

Just you.

I don't need someone to tell
me that the song is good.

I need someone to help
me make the song great.

Well, I'm in, and I'm honoured.

- Um, Dad, can we talk later? I'll just...
- Hey, do your thing.

- Hey, Shawn, it's good seeing you, bro.
- Good to see you, bro.

- All right. Cool.
- All right. Take care.

Um, OK. I just want to listen to it

one more time and then try some things.

- Yeah. Let's do it.
- OK, great.

Oh.

I got to get going. You good?

Yeah, yeah. I'll find a ride.

All right. Let's go.

Coach, you got a second?

Yeah.

I got to get going.

OK, well, uh, thanks for coming out,

helping with the, uh, wide
receivers. Appreciate that.

- Lot of talent on this field.
- Yeah.

It's gonna be a bright future.

Look, I stand by what I said.

You'd be crazy to leave
South Crenshaw High,

but if you're gonna do it,

just rip the band-aid off, man.

Working with your players today,
they so excited about next season,

even talking 'bout getting
their coach another championship.

They gonna take it hard,
knowing you're leaving,

and the longer you wait,
the harder it's gonna be.

I know. I know. I, uh,
was gonna tell 'em today,

but I think I'm gonna
need a little bit more time

'cause my head's been
swirling all around.

It's never gonna be the right time.

I know what it's like to be blindsided.

Do not do that to these kids.

They got enough
obstacles they gotta face.

They don't need the
man they look up to most

stringing them along, acting like
he always gonna be there for 'em.

Yeah.

So what about you and me?

I need time.

- I just need more time.
- All right, man.

Come on, man!

- Bitch, I will rip your hair out.
- Girl, get your hands up off me!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

What the hell? I know y'all
not fighting in my hallway!

- What is this about?!
- Don't worry about it.

I was just taking out the trash.

Look, y'all can't be fighting in here.

- Then we can go outside.
- Look, if I report this,

you're both getting expelled.

We know you ain't reporting nothing.

- Why won't I?
- My brother says nobody messes with Preach.

- You was in prison, right?
- See, what your brother should be saying

is I'm an example of how someone
can turn their life around.

It ain't about that life no more.

I got a daughter now,

a few years younger than both of you,

and I'll tell her like I'mma tell you.

No one can make your life easier,

but you can make it harder.

- What does that mean?
- It means nobody's gonna

open the doors for you,

but if y'all keep acting like this,

there's people out there that can't wait

to close the door in your face.

Look, stop acting like
fools and stop fighting,

and you're good. Now get your bags.

All right, y'all. Gather
round. Bring it in.

Bring it in. Bring it in.

All right.

Look at y'all.

I gotta say, I'm proud
of y'all effort out there.

Y'all did y'all things in
front of those college coaches,

and believe me, this will go a long way

to bigger and better things
when it comes to your future.

I have no doubt that each and
every one of your senior seasons,

y'all gonna be all right.

Give yourselves a hand, all right?

- Yeah.
- All right.

Uh, that being said,

I know that there have
been a lot of rumours

floating around 'bout my future,

and I just wanted y'all
to hear it from me.

Those rumours are true.

I have been offered the
head-coaching position at GAU,

and, um... and I've accepted it...

- Ohh...
- But hold up, hold up. I ain't done, I ain't done.

I have also been doing some
soul-searching the past couple days,

and, uh...

After seeing what y'all were doing
out there on that field today,

working hard as hell to make Crenshaw

a better team next year,

I realized I made a mistake.

Yeah. Somebody really
close to me just told me

that I would be crazy to leave Crenshaw,

to leave the man that Crenshaw
made me, and he was right.

So you staying, Coach?

I'm saying I'm right
here where I belong.

Yeah!

Whoo!

- Hey, think fast, old man.
- Mm.

- Ha!
- Ooh!

- "Old man"?
- Yep.

Ooh, that's a little wobbly.

And you're the one who taught me

how to throw a spiral.

Oh, I've never had your arm, though.

Yeah, but you had some wheels.

I did have wheels.

You know, that speech was a surprise.

Oh, now, yeah, I'm
sorry about that, son.

Nah, come on. You
don't got to apologise.

I will be fine.

When you left Beverly,
I had Coach Montes,

and there's gonna be plenty
of coaches in my future,

but only one dad.

Yeah.

I actually changed my mind

in the moment...

'Cause I had been struggling with what

I was gonna say for
a couple of days, and

then I saw what the boys were
doing out there, and I realised...

- You're right where you belong.
- Yeah.

- I loved hearing that. It made me happy.
- Look...

if you want to re-enter
the transfer portal,

I can make a couple of
calls 'cause I feel like

- I put you in a bad position.
- Nah, nah, nah.

I think I'm right where I belong, too.

That's all right. You do seem happier

than I've seen you now in a long time.

Yeah, love can do that to you.

- What are you talking about?
- Come on, man.

You have the worst poker
face ever, especially with me.

Oh, the bus is about to
leave. Look, you tell Layla...

She officially has my approval.

Now, how did you... how did you know?

I'm your father.

I love you, Dad.

Bring it in. Love you, too.

- Mm.
- Ohh...

- Here you go.
- See you in a bit.

Yep. High and tight, now.

Ha ha!

♪ But I know this is something ♪

♪ So real, overthink... ♪

Hey, you still busy?

Hi. Um, I am always busy.

How did you link up with Shawn anyway?

A friend of a friend.

And did you tell him you used to have

a Boyz II Men poster growing up?

- Um...
- Mm, no.

Look, um,

- Layla...
- Clay said no, Dad.

I told him he could have the
Keating name back, and he said no,

so I know you wanted me
to fix it, but I can't.

- Sorry.
- I'm glad.

- You're glad I'm sorry?
- No, I'm glad you couldn't fix it.

He didn't deserve our name anyway.

- Am I missing something?
- You know,

sometimes I forget
you're only 19 years old.

You know what I was doing
when I was 19? Not this,

not building an empire.

I was washing dishes at a 24-hour diner.

I mean, I wanted all this, but...

It was just a dream.

You never told me about that.

Check it out.

- You see this old napkin?
- Yeah.

All right, well, when I
was working at that diner,

I drew...

This logo for Keating Records.

Dad, that... Should be in a museum.

Yeah, I mean, uh, I was just
trying to create something

that would live, you know, after
I was gone and if I was lucky,

I would have a child
to be my blood legacy,

and then my music
would be my soul legacy.

Well, I ruined that part.

No, you are that part.

You are my legacy in every form, Layla.

I'm just sorry it took me
so long to realise that,

and I'm glad you got our name back

because now, my blood

and my soul are back under one roof,

and you are gonna take our
Keating legacy to levels

I could only dream of when I
was washing dishes in this diner.

Thanks, Dad.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Thanks for coming today.

Turns out I wasn't needed here.

Yeah, I, uh, made a quick u-turn.

- Can I ask why?
- Spencer.

He was right, about everything.

- He usually is.
- Hmm.

- Maybe you should tell him that.
- Yeah.

- I'll see you back at school.
- Yeah.

OK.

All right, Spence.

Time to speak your piece one more time.

Hmm.

Oh, this is Spencer. Leave a message.

Hey, Spence, um,

I know you said that you...

You needed some time, and I'm
gonna give you that, but I just...

I just want you to know that...

You were right.

You were right about everything.

Hi, Daddy.

Amina, what are you doing here?

You keep running away, your grandma's

- gonna move you out of the country.
- No...

I won't.

Can I speak to your dad alone, please?

It's possible I misjudged you.

I told you Amina would
be better off without you,

but I can see how much she needs you.

- Thank you.
- But she needs us, too.

My husband and I, we love her more

than anything in this world.

She's all we have left.

I know.

So, I, uh...

I'm willing to propose

a shared-custody agreement.

Really? No Baltimore?

No Baltimore.

We were thinking 2
or 3 weekends a month?

I'll take it. I'll take any
time I can have with my baby.

I wish it was more
than that, but I accept.

No, you misunderstood.

We were thinking that
we would have Amina

2 or 3 weekends a month and

she'd live with you, full-time.

You know, you don't always
have to be working, man.

You can take a break.

Oh, it's... it's not work.
I've already finished that.

I'm writing out all the questions
I have about being a dad.

For real?

I mean...

Uh, well, I guarantee you,

even I won't be able to answer

all these questions we have here.

"What age do they start walking?"

Well?

Um, honestly... I don't remem... one?

I forget. 1 1/2, man? Next question.

"What is swad... " I can't
read your handwriting.

What does this say? "Swadling"?

- "What is swadling?"
- Uh, "what is swaddling?"

"What is swaddling?" What the hell is...

- What is swaddling?
- I have no idea.

Sss. All right. Uh, forget this list.

Um, you're gonna be fine, man. Just...

You're gonna figure it out all
on your own, just like I did.

You'll be cool, totally cool.

- Was it scary?
- Oh, It was terrifying,

but it's worth it. It's worth it. Um...

I remember when, uh, Liv was a baby,

she used to do this one
thing where she'd reach...

Reach out her arm and
just grab a hold of my ear.

Ah, I used to let her do that for hours.

She was perfect.

You asked me, uh,

what the secret to
coaching was, and, um...

It's simple, man. I just try to act

like a father to the players, you know.

Like, you are all my kids,

and to be honest...

You were one of my favourites.

Yeah, just try to be someone
that they'd look up to, you know?

All you can do is try to point
them in the right direction

and hope they stay on that path.

You put me on the right path.

I tried my best with all of y'all.

You got a big heart.

You're a great coach,

and you'll be an even better father.

How long will it take to figure it out?

Ah, see, that's the
best part of all this.

It doesn't matter how long
it's gonna take to figure it out

because the one thing you have is time.

- Oh, my lord.
- I don't see my dad.

- Maybe you should stay in the car.
- No.

- There's Asher.
- Ash, hey, what happened?

- I don't know.
- You're bleeding.

- Are you OK?
- Yeah, I think so.

OK, all right. Here we go.

OK, take it nice and easy.

Jordan!

Dad!

Oh, you all right?

- Hey, I'm headed out.
- OK.

Oh, before you go, I
have some more news.

Let me guess. They want Jayden
Davis to do The Today Show?

Close. The article's been nominated

- for a Bardo Journalism Award.
- Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

Wait. But if I win, I
can't accept the award.

Christel, we're getting some
conflicting reports on a bus crash.

- Sounds like it was a football team?
- OK.

Wait. What?

W-Where was the crash?

- Hello?
- Hey, where are you?

I'm at your place, actually.

I just came by to give
Coop some good news.

- Turn on the TV, channel 6.
- Why?

Just do it.

As of now, we still
have very few details,

but we're hearing a bus carrying a
high-school football team crashed.

First responders are still having
a hard time getting to the scene.

- Oh, my God.
- Mum, I think that's Dad's bus.

- Just stay there. I'm on my way.
- OK.

All right. Make sure he
stays off that leg, all right?

OK.

I think I got everybody out.

- Yeah. Are you OK?
- Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. I'm fine.

- OK. Dad...
- Asher, Asher, how's his arm?

- Uh, we wrapped it. He's doing OK.
- OK.

- Dad, Dad, maybe...
- Yeah?

- Maybe you should sit down, rest.
- No, no, no. I'm good. I'm good.

- It happened so fast. It all happened so fast...
- Yeah, they...

They said a tire blew out.

Well, I think I got
everybody out, though.

- Got everybody out.
- Dad. Dad?

- Yeah?
- Billy,

- it's OK.
- Yeah, yeah.

- Everything's OK.
- OK.

- I'm gonna go call Spencer.
- OK.

You should call Laura.

- She's probably heard about this by now.
- OK. Yep. Thank you.

- Spencer.
- Hey.

I, uh, I came by earlier,
but you weren't home.

- I figured we'd have that talk.
- What?

You wanted to talk earlier,

but I've sort of been
avoiding you today, so...

Have you not gotten your messages?

My phone's off. Why?

- My dad's bus crashed.
- What?

The news is... is saying
they think everyone's OK,

and ambulances are on their way,

but there was another
crash on the freeway, so

first responders and
everything are a little delayed.

Oh! It's Billy. It's Dad.

- Billy!
- I'm OK. Everybody... Everybody's OK.

Uh, and he's OK. Everyone's OK.

- Wait. Put him on speaker.
- Hold on.

Dad? Dad, I love you.

I love you, too, baby. I love you, too.

- What happened?
- Uh, the tire blew out,

and the bus flipped on its
side, but... but I'm OK.

I'll tell you the rest when I get home,

but I gotta take care
of my players, honey.

OK. Please just hurry home to us.

Please come home. We love you so much.

- I love you, Dad.
- Yes.

I love you, too.

All right. Everybody cool?

- How y'all doing?
- I'm good, Coach.

- All right.
- Straight, Coach.

Where's Jabari?

I don't know. Did you see him?

Where's Jabari?

- Billy. Don't!
- I have to.

Billy!

Hey.

Sorry. I just heard.

Everybody's OK, though, right?

- Yeah. They're OK.
- Laura talked to Billy and

Spencer talked to Grace.

Asher's a little banged
up, but he'll be OK.

Oh, I just want him to be home already.

He's gonna be home. He'll be home soon.

Just breathe.

- Mm-hmm.
- He's gonna be OK. Yeah.

Excuse me.

Spencer,

I know you just said
you'd need more time,

and I'm gonna give you that,

but I wanted to let you
know that you were right,

about everything.

You told me I'd be
crazy to leave Crenshaw.

Well, I just talked to my team,

and I told them I'm staying.

This is where I belong,

and I know that doesn't undo

what's happened between
you and me, but I just

wanted to tell you some things.

Um, one of the reasons
I took that job at GAU

was so I could be your
coach one last time.

I missed it.

I missed you.

Oh, it's selfish, I know,

but while this past year
at Crenshaw has been great,

being your coach had become one
of the best parts of my life.

We have a connection, you and me.

I knew it the second we met on
that field at South Crenshaw,

and I know I'm not your pops, but...

I do consider you my son.

That's why I'll always be here for you.

People always talk about legacy,

and I know Spencer James is gonna
continue to build his legacy,

but I need you to know

that you are an important
part of my legacy.

My proudest moments on the
field aren't playing ball.

They were coaching you,

watching you grow into
the player you are today

and the man you've become.

You are family, Spencer,

for life.

You can't get out of that,
no matter how hard you try.

You're stuck with me. We're
gonna get past all this.

J?

He's gone.

My dad is gone.

Anyway, I'm sorry this
message got way too long,

but, uh, like you,

I had some things I needed to
say and, uh, and I'm glad I did.

Um...

I love you, Spencer James,

and I always will.

You are my All-American.

So, I know you said
you needed some time.

Um, I'm here whenever you're ready,

uh, because, you know, you and me,

we got all the time in the world.

All right, man.
