-[buzzer buzzes]
-[Woman] Can I get my phone call?

[Janelle]
Gosh, do they ever turn off the lights in this place?

How can you sleep
right now?

I'm not sleeping.

I'm ignoring
your stupid ass.

What makes you think
I know what the fuck they do in here?

Hello, never
been arrested before.

Right, so can we
at least try

and get along
for once, please?

You want
to get along?

Don't you say
another goddamn word to me.

Look, what did I do
this time, Poppy?

Because you're the one
who's fucked up.

You're the one
who started struggling,

not sitting
your little ass still.

You. Not me.

I was just scared, okay?

Why? Because you knew
they'd find drugs on you?

[opens]

-[Tal] Hey.
-Hey, where's Janelle?

She hasn't
been released yet.

-She's been there all weekend.
-What?

She hasn't
been released yet.

Uncle Al's on his way over

to the courthouse now.

-Okay, so let's ride.
-I can't.

He said I shouldn't go
to the arraignment

and it's better
if he goes alone.

Why? Have you
talked to her?

What? How?

You all right?
Do you-- You need something?

-I got-- I got Aspirin
or something. -No, I'm good, thanks.

-You should talk to her.
-[drink pouring]

She probably
needs to hear from you.

-I can't.
-What do you mean you can't?

I can't.

Okay, I'm so
fucking pissed. All right? Drugs?

I mean,
where does she even know how to get drugs?

[sighs]
Marquise, probably.

Wait, what
do you mean Marquise?

What, he was there?
What was he doing?

I thought
it was supposed to be some girl's birthday party.

-It doesn't matter.
-It does matter.

So, what?
Marquise is her dealer now?

When did she start--
When did she start getting high?

We popped Molly
once or twice, all right?

I don't know what all
she took at the party. I--

When you care
about somebody...

you're supposed to know
enough about them to know

that you're
supposed to keep them away from this kind of shit

-when their mom's an addict...
-Ohio, listen.

...currently serving time.

Listen to me.

After Marquise
threw that brick through your window,

me and him had a talk,
all right?

Said he'd leave you alone

if I let him run
a little weight

through my parties.

Now, at the time,
I wasn't putting

pieces together
about your mom.

All right, I'm sorry.

[sighs]

I'm grateful
for what you did for me.

Getting Marquise
off my back, really.

And Janelle,
whatever her decisions are,

they're hers
and they're not yours,

but in case
you hadn't noticed,

she's a little lost
right now.

It's like,
I can't even take

my eye off her
for one second.

But you think I did.

-It's not exactly
what I said, but-- -Nah, it's cool.

You know what,
I think I'mma just

wait somewhere else,
all right?

[sighs]

[buzzer buzzes]

[Janelle]
Maybe you should sit down.

-I can't be in here anymore.
[gasping] -Poppy?

When are
they coming to get us? What do I say to the judge?

Do I get a lawyer
or something like--

Come on, Poppy.
You should sit and breathe.

You called your parents,
right?

My mom.
It's just my mom.

Everything's going
to be okay, all right?

So, what they're
probably gonna do

is take us to a judge

and he'll charge us
with something

and set your bail.

You'll probably get charged
with drunk and disorderly,

maybe resisting arrest.

They'll set your bail
and then your mom

will pay it
and take you home.

Everything's
gonna be fine.

You tell her
to bring cash?

-No. Should I tell her?
-Yes.

Tell her not to get a bond.

It's easier
to pay with cash at a courthouse.

And cash only.

Make sure
you tell her that, okay?

They don't take credit cards
or checks. Okay?

-Yeah, okay.
-It'll be fine.

[sighs]

I'd like
to make my phone call.

[door buzzes]

[chatter]

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Hey, where the hell
have you been?

I tried calling you
all weekend.

I've been trying
to lay low

at my parents' house.

I figured after
a couple of days

it might be
calm enough for me

to come and face
the consequences.

-Are you okay?
-Compared to Poppy and Janelle, yeah.

-Any word?
-No.

Collette's
looking for you.

The fake
social media profile

was mainly to keep
my parents from finding out.

They think
I'm enrolled at Emory.

So, you've been
lying to me,

Sage, everyone here,
and also your parents.

You know, I gotta say
that must have been

incredibly difficult.

So, obviously,
High Water is a school

for low-income kids
in this neighborhood.

Is 70 Pryor Street
your address?

Yeah, I moved in
a year ago,

but I'm kind of
in between places right now.

Look, I never meant
to hurt anyone

or steal anyone's spot.

Do you know
the average cost of dance classes

in an area like Buckhead?

Per month,
it's about $300.

All right, and you've been
taking dance class for how long?

-Since you've been...
-Four.

All right, so rough math,
uh, I'd say you've spent

over $50,000
on dance lessons.

-My parents paid. I--
-Right.

But you competed
for a spot here

with $50,000
worth of training.

Against kids whose parents
barely make that in a year.

Odalie, our mission here
is to help forgotten kids.

Well, in my family,
that's how I feel.

My mother signed me up
for my first dance class

as a way to network
with her boss.

She hired someone
to drive me to dance

the rest of the summer.

I knew even in that
toddler tap class...

I knew that I was meant
to be a dancer.

You're passionate.

You want this,
and I understand that.

But I have to review this
very carefully.

[Poppy]
Let me ask you something.

How did you know
what to do?

Bail, lawyers, hearings.

You got me thinking
you ran out here from Ohio

on some parole-type shit.

-[chuckles]
-But seriously.

You don't look like
the type of chick

that knows her way around
the county courthouse.

Oh, you'd be surprised.

Oh, word?

-You gangsta?
-[laughs]

It's, um, it's my mom.

She's doing three years.

Drugs. It's why me and Tal
had to come down here

to live with our uncle.

She's got
some problems.

Was all that on Friday
just so you can

get turnt up
and go on stage?

Honestly, Poppy,
I don't know.

Moving down to Atlanta
really... threw me.

[chuckles]

I had things
figured out in Ohio.

And here, I just...

I can't seem to figure out

how or if I fit in.

And when the party started
to get out of control,

I wanted to be able
to get a handle on things.

Instead of getting
the party under control,

I completely just
lost control of myself.

Yeah, which probably
didn't help

when the cops showed up.

[chuckles]

I know you were scared
that night.

I was, too.

[both chuckling]

I just want
to get out of here.

Me too.

Ashley?

Ashley?

Look, I've had enough crap
today already.

What the fuck
are you wearing here?

It was
a benefit performance

for one of my mom's
charity things.

Right. Well, I'm sorry,
I'm just--

I'm playing catch-up.

See, I missed out
on the part where

Odalie is a completely
manufactured alter ego!

Because I spent
my whole weekend

-worrying about my sister
being in jail. -Tal, I'm sorry.

You're sorry
you did it or you're sorry you got caught?

What the fuck kind of name
is Odalie anyway?

It's the name
of a French singer I like.

Right, 'course it is.

Look, I know it's stupid,

but could you just ease up
for a minute?

I could really use
a friend right now.

I don't even know
who you really are.

So, good luck with that.

[sighs]

What did you expect
to happen?

How did you think this
was gonna-- Gonna go down?

I was just focused
on being good enough to get in.

Because that's all
that mattered.

Yeah, well,
other things matter.

Like the people
you're dancing with.

And whether or not you--
You trust them enough

to open up your soul

and make something
beautiful together.

'Cause if I don't know
who you really are,

I can't trust you.

[door opens]

[sighs]
I basically been here

since everything
went down.

I haven't even
left the spot.

Can't get Poppy's mom
to call me back.

Poppy's not
answering her phone.

They still out
in Cobb County.

Arraignment
should be over by now.

-[phone dings]
-You been here all weekend?

-[music playing]
-[crowd chatters]

-Can you turn that
off, man? -My bad, yo.

People keep
sending me videos

of that damn party
like that's the only thing

that happened
Friday night.

[chuckles]

[sighs]
Yeah, man.

I've been in my head
about all this, yo.

Just thinking
way too damn much.

Yo, I mean,
at least you got out already, though, right?

My dad's lawyers ran
the PK Defense.

Said I wasn't
obstructing justice

but trying
to help Janelle.

I was just some
naive preacher boy who didn't know better

than to let
those officers do their job.

Convinced them
there wouldn't be

a massive outcry
in the church community.

They let me go.
I let this go.

[inhales]

Okay, remember,
keep that contraction sharp.

Staccato, you got me?

Let it go through your body,
through your arms,

and through your legs.

And guys-- [grunts] Sharp.

Right, and I need this--
Yeah, yeah!

I need that double turn
clean!

Here we go.
From the top.

[music playing]

[McCoy]
Hey, what's up with that? Man, hey!

What's going on?
You can't drop her.

Don't amateur up
on me now.

-Sorry.
-Don't sorry me.

I don't want
to hear sorry.

Let's make it right.
From the top.

One more time.

[music playing]

Hey, what's going on
over there?

We're sorry,
Mr. McCoy,

but we're not
dancing with her.

[pants]

So, does the whole class
feel this way?

[kids murmuring]

There's no way
Sage and Collette are gonna let me stay.

-Everyone hates me.
-Hey, nobody hates you, okay?

It's just complicated
right now, that's all.

Look, after everything
you've done for me,

you know I got your back.

You helped me
take care of Justin

and not to mention--

I'm falling in love
with you.

Me too.

But because
I love you, I...

I always gotta tell you
the truth.

You think
I stole someone's spot?

I feel like
you don't know what it's like

to fight for a spot.

[shudders]

And you come in here
like this is just--

It makes it seem like
you don't care

that some of us
could have our entire lives

and never have
an opportunity like High Water.

You get me?

[scoffs]

Come on, Odalie, just--

Either you have my back
or you don't.

You can't have it
both ways.

[rap music playing]

I was talking
to Tal earlier.

I was so focused
on my party, man.

My business, making money.

Somewhere in there,
I lost track

of Janelle, man.

Maybe if she wasn't
so fucked up or high,

maybe she wouldn't
have resisted, you know?

That's not you, man.

-That's on her, yo.
-[sighs]

[sighs]

You thinking
too much, bro.

You're being way too hard
on yourself.

[sighs]

-You wanna smoke?
-Nah.

Come on, man.
It's for pain and shit.

That face
look like it hurt like a motherfucker.

[both chuckling]

Yeah, let me get
a little bit of that.

I knew it.

I'm tired of thinking
about shit, too.

[laughs]

[sighs]

I don't know
how they are in Ohio,

but I don't trust nobody

in a police uniform, period.

We in here because
they saw two black girls and one white girl.

But we the ones who were
drunk and disorderly.

Trust and believe
your messy ass

was just part
of the problem.

And Odalie
or Ashley,

whatever the fuck
that bitch's real name is,

none of this shit's
gonna come down

on her lying ass.

Hell, I wish
somebody would

fight for me
or trade places with me

and give a fuck whether
I was in here or not.

Well, I do.

I care.
I'm in here with you.

-Plus, your mom
paid your fine. -She didn't come.

She wasn't even
in court this morning.

Both times I called,
all she said was

if I got myself in jail,
I have to get myself out.

-Poppy, I'm sorry, that's--
-Normal.

For her, at least.

I mean,
your mom has to care.

[sighs]

She might
in some kind of way,

but... I don't know,

it's like ever since
I started getting curves, something changed.

All the time
she fussing at me.

"Cover up.
You showing too much.

You too big.
You came out too dark.

Do something
with your hair. Don't eat like that.

Don't walk like that.
Don't dance like that."

[groans, sighs]

Sometimes,
I feel like it's 'cause she had me young,

and seeing me
makes her think about

what she was doing
back then.

Sometimes, though...
it's like

my mom's a little jealous.

Men look at me.

Yeah, but, you know,
she's your mom.

She should have your back.

When that cop
was on me...

[voice breaking]
When he had my face on the ground...

I kept thinking about
how my mom said

some fucked up
shit sometimes.

"One day...
a man's gonna put his hands on you.

And your fast little ass
won't get away."

Who the fuck
says some shit like that?

I couldn't breathe.

I couldn't scream.

There was dirt and grass
in my mouth.

And all I kept wishing
was that

she was there to help me.

[sobbing]

-It's okay.
-[door buzzes]

-It's okay.
-[man] Baker.

Time to go.

[Janelle]
It's gonna be okay.

-[sobbing]
-[man] Baker.

Look, y'all can hug
on y'all's own time.

Bail's been paid.
I gotta process you out.

-Let's go.
-Look, I'm gonna find out what the fine is, okay?

-Go.
-You're gonna be okay.

[crying]

Baker.

[crying]

[door closes]

[Collette]
No, it's Poppy Martinez.

What do you mean
she's not in your system?

How do you just
lose a person? Fuck!

[phone hangs up]

-Ms. Jones?
-Yes?

Um, can we talk
to you for a minute?

It's about Odalie.

Well, as I told Odalie
this morning,

her status at this school
is still under review.

Now, I get
that this party,

what happened
with Poppy and your sister

is all connected,
but I can't weigh that incident

as part
of my decision-making.

If we remove her
from the school, it--

Right, but that's--
That's the thing.

We don't think
you should remove her.

And why is that?

I was in that class
this morning with McCoy.

Okay, I saw
everything blow up.

Okay, I watched them
ice her out.

And I know exactly
what that's like.

When I was here
and I was an outsider,

High Water made a way
to bring me in.

-Right?
-Yes, but you didn't conceal your identity.

You told the truth
about yourself.

And so did she,
every single time she dances.

She showed us today
that she is still one of the best dancers here.

Ms. Jones, you know
there is no place like High Water,

and we think
Odalie is the best of High Water.

Shouldn't that count
for something?

I'll take it
into consideration.

Collette, can I steal you
for a moment?

Yes.

How long
have they been here?

Since my class
this morning.

I had to relocate everybody

to the performance space.

I just thought
it was important

that the students
felt heard.

And they refuse to move

while she's still
a student here?

They want her gone.

Hey, guys,
I realize that tensions

are heightened,
so I'm gonna cancel

dance classes
for the rest of the day.

We don't go until she goes.

Yeah, fuck
that lying-ass bitch.

I'm sorry, I don't know
who the hell

you think
you're talking to,

but if you can't
be productive, go home.

I'm not asking.
Go, now.

-You heard the woman.
-And that means you guys, too.

Okay, but I mean, what's--
Is she gonna become--

[boy] Come on, man.

All of this...
because of me.

[rap music playing]

Ceiling.

Ceil... ling.

Don't that word
sound funny?

No, man,
it don't sound funny.

Shit sound French.

-[laughs]
-Yo.

You got a dictionary?

Man, what the fuck
I would be doing

-with a dictionary?
-You got a dictionary?

[both laughing]

You know, I think
my auntie gave me one

on my birthday
or some shit like that.

Look that shit up.
Ceiling.

Come on, man,
it's gonna bug me until I figure it out.

-Give me some chips.
-Come on, man.

[Dondre laughing]

-Yeah, gotcha.
-Idiot.

[sighing]
Oh, man.

I'm guessing
it's a Spanish.

I took Spanish
in grade school.

And the word
for "sky" in Spanish is cielo.

So, maybe ceiling is...

a sky for a room.

You find that
dictionary yet?

[chuckles]
Nah.

[sighs]
Just looking at this damn picture.

[chuckles]

-Y'all ugly.
-[laughing]

-Shut up, man.
-Eh...

Don't you hate
when girls do that?

Make you take pictures
with 'em.

Put it in frames.
Trying to be all cute and shit.

But really,
they just trying to remind you

that you their man.

Girls remember everything,
man.

Birthdays,
your mama's middle name.

-[laughs]
-First time you took 'em roller skating.

Yeah, man.

[chuckles]
It's like we forget.

You know,
I don't remember

if I took her out
for her birthday

or if this was
an anniversary

or-- Nothing, man,

I just-- I be
forgetting everything.

[exhales]

Yo, man, seeing her
like that the other night,

the way that cop
slammed her down like that...

Bro, he was
hurting her, bro.

And I just had
to stand there, man.

I... couldn't
even do nothing,

bro, just stand there.

Yeah, you see
what happened to me, though.

Lost my cool.

Bro, just think about
all the times

I've done Poppy wrong.

It's like every time I saw

a fine-ass piece
of something new,

I forget about Poppy.

[chuckles] Meanwhile,
I'm expecting her to have my back

through it all, like...

as if I ever
had her back, man.

Now I've got this
fucking picture in my head

of him just...
[sighs]

Bro, I don't think
I'll ever forget that shit.

Man, why
you got me getting all fucking emotional

and shit, man.

Damn, yo!

You the one
fucking pouring out your heart.

It's okay if you still
care about her.

You love her.

[both laughing]

-Give me that bag!
-[laughs]

What's up
with you and Janelle?

She got y'all
picture framed up yet?

[laughs]

Real talk.

-Real talk?
-Mm-hmm.

Nah.

We ain't there yet.

[knocking]

Hey, Tal.

Um, we're back.

Al and I stopped
for food on the way.

In case you're hungry.

Tal?

I'll just fix you a plate

in case
you get hungry later.

Wait, you're--
You're back?

Well, Collette hasn't
made her decision yet, so.

It's just my parents
don't get all of this.

'Cause they think that
dance is just a hobby...

or something you do
for exercise.

Or something you buy
season tickets to watch

because other people

you know
have season tickets.

Well, then what we do
at High Water

might as well be something

from another planet.

It's just dancing
like this here

feels like
the planet I'm from.

Yeah, well...

I know what that's like.

Is that why you went out
on a limb for me...

with Collette?

No, actually.
[chuckles]

Uh, I don't know,

I just--
It made sense, I guess,

for me to say something.

I don't think
I'm the kind of person

who can say
that somebody doesn't

belong somewhere, so.

There's all kinds of places
people don't think I belong.

You know, not black enough.

Not white enough.

Not straight enough,
not gay enough, so...

What was I supposed to do?

I'm glad you're here.

And it means a lot
that you stuck up for me.

Yeah, you got it.

But there is something
I do have to ask.

Do you know why
you didn't get arrested at the party?

Yeah, the cops thought
that Poppy and Janelle

were trying to fight me.

People were calling
them party-crashers.

People were saying
that they didn't belong.

But the cops assumed
that you did, right?

I mean, how many places
do you go in-- in a day

where people tell you
that you don't belong?

I imagine
it's not many, right?

What do you think
I should do?

Mm. Mm, mm, mm.

I think
you're the only person who can decide that.

[Rigo sighs]

Yo.

Hey, wake up, man.

Come on, man,
I'm trying to be out.

-I need a ride.
-[sniffs] Where you need to go?

And can we get
some breakfast first?

Yeah, we can go eat after.

I just got off the phone
with Poppy's mom.

I need to go see
about paying her bail.

Wait, what?
They still in there?

Yeah, man, Janelle
made her bail yesterday.

Poppy's mom
left her in there

on some straight bullshit.

[sighs]
Look, I owe her this, man.

Yeah, I could take you.

[groans]

[Rigo] Come on.
We gotta go.

[sighs]

[drums playing]

The first drum
any of us moves to

is right here
in our bodies.

I took a trip last year
on a sabbatical

to study communal
dance traditions.

In a park in Guinea,
these young dance crews

taught me a few
new dance moves.

[laughs]
It reminded me

that in a simple drum beat,

dance can create
a community

across language,
across age,

across economics,
across continents.

[Electra]
So, in the spirit of that,

we're going to share
those steps with you all right now,

and our intent
is that we will connect all the pieces.

Our hearts,
our bodies, our opinions.

So, up on your feet.

Now, we're gonna teach you
three passages,

and then
we're gonna combine them all together.

The first one goes
a little something like this.

-[claps]
-[drums playing]

Hey!

Let's go!

Join in!
Five, six, seven, eight!

[drums playing]

[Electra] Come on, y'all!

Come on!

Yo, what the fuck, man?

So, you guys could talk
behind her back

or not talk at all?

But none of y'all
can say shit

to her face, huh?

You're the fakest ones
in here.

I said I got your back
and I meant it.

-No matter what.
-Yeah, me too.

I have to go.

-[Davis] What?
-Look, guys...

I'm really sorry. I am.

It's the right thing
to do.

And thank you
for helping me see that.

Poppy?

What are you doing here?

I-- I needed a shower.
A change of clothes.

Have you been home at all?

-Do you want me
to call your mother? -No.

No, I'll call her later.

Come here.

Oh, my gosh,
I've been worried sick.

I'm just glad you're safe.
You look tired.

Come on,
we can go to my office

and you can rest
on the couch.

You okay?

[McCoy]
Five, six, seven, eight.

-Ha!
-[drums playing]

Ha! That's good!
That's what I'm

talkin' 'bout.
Whoo!

Whoo!

-[drums stop]
-That's good, that's good!

Now what we wanna do
is connect the pieces.

Just so you can feel
what it's like

to dance together again.

-Okay? Here we go.
-Okay.

[drums playing]

[singing
in foreign language]

[laughs] Well,
look who's back. Baby girl!

-Think you can join in?
-I think so.

What is this?

This is us saying,
"Welcome home."

[Electra] All right,
so shoes off.

-Let's get it!
-[McCoy laughs]

Yeah!

Ho!

[McCoy singing]
Oh, oh, oh!

-Come on!
-Hey!

Hey!

-Dance!
-[Electra screaming]

[McCoy]
Ha ha! Yes!

Ha! Ha!

Whoo!

[McCoy laughing]

That's what I'm
talking about!

Do it!

-[drums stop]

-? Seconds ?
-[cheering]

? Ticking off the clock ?

? Counting ?

? Down to when I walk ?

? It's easier to go
than to stay ?

? I can't help
burning down ?

? All the bridges
that I've found ?

? I've lit more up ?

? Than I can count ?

? All the bridges... ?

You sure you really
wanna do this?

I have to.

Yesterday, I just tried
dancing harder

to prove myself.

Well, to those
who didn't want me here anymore.

And that
didn't really work.

I get it now.
I lied.

I stole and I didn't really
wanna see it that way.

But it's what I did
to get in here.

And Davis and Tal,
they shouldn't have to defend me

when I was the one
that was in the wrong.

Well, I think that
you're good enough

to dance
anywhere you want.

I'd rather be dancing
here with my friends.

? I can't help
burning down ?

? All the bridges
that I've found ?

? I've lit more up ?

? Than I can count ?

? All the bridges
that I've found... ?

-Hey.
-Hey.

-How's it going?
-[sighs]

-You heading home?
-Uh, avoiding it, really.

Avoiding Janelle, I guess.

She told me about your mom.

-[sighs]
-Maybe you should think about taking it easy on her.

[scoffs]

I think she knows
what she did

and why she did it.

And when you figure out
a way to forgive her,

tell her I said thank you.

-For what?
-She paid my fine. That's how I got out.

-When?
-This morning.

Someone came
to the courthouse and paid in cash.

Like, $700.

No, Uncle Al's had Janelle
on lockdown.

She's not allowed
to crack a window

much less leave the house.

And she doesn't have
that kind of money anyway.

Oh, my mistake.

-I just thought--
-[phone vibrating]

-Look, I gotta go, all right?
-[vibrating continues]

Um, but I'm glad
you're all right.

Hey.

You're all right, right?

I'm getting there.

? I can't help
burning them down ?

You remember this?

[chuckles]

Your birthday.

I took you to Pappadeaux.

We split two orders
of the crab fingers

with the dirty rice.

[both laughing]

How come you didn't say
it was you?

I just didn't want
you thinking

there was some
strings attached to it.

I just wanted to do
something for you, yo.

Say I'm sorry
for a lot of things.

That's... way more than
I ever expected from you.

-[sighs]
-[chuckles]

[sighs]
Maybe I should get back to work.

Yeah, I don't...
I don't want to keep you.

I just...

What if
there were strings?

What? Do you mean
with you and me?

I mean, if you're really
trying to change.

I am.

Then maybe I can

let you show me what
that looks like on you.

Come here.

-Let me pat you down
right quick. -[chuckles]

Make sure
you ain't got no matches.

-Ain't having you set
my shit on fire again, yo. -[laughs]

Come here.

[music playing]

? Feel my knees shake ?

? In vascular tremor ?

? Hear my bones quake ?

? Just to remember ?

? We left half a heart ?

? In the hands
of the other ?

? Undying love
sinks the earth like ?

? Like ?

? Thunder, touch ?

? Feel your blood rush ?

? Your legs shudder ?

? A dangerous love
shakes the earth like thunder ?

? Lust ?

? Feel your heart thrust ?

? Pull me under ?

? A dangerous love
shakes the earth like thunder ?

[music continues]

? A dangerous love
shakes the earth like thunder ?

[Tal] Poppy said
I should be nice to you.

-So, welcome home.
-Thank you.

Uh, Jesus, I can't even
look at you right now.

Janelle, you know
we can't fuck around

with shit like that, okay?

Both Mom and Dad
were addicts.

Okay, and I know
you probably don't feel like

a lecture right now,
but you deserve one

because you should
know better.

Okay, you made
Uncle Al worry.

You made me worry.

And Social Services
is involved.

And I don't know
what that means for us.

They might not
let us stay here anymore.

Do you wanna do
all this all over again? We just got here.

You wanna find
somewhere new? Start over?

How are you
gonna explain to me

that this is
the second time

that you got high
since you got here?

That I know of.
You know what?

As far as I'm concerned,
that's it.

You get one more shot.
After that, I'm done.

All right,
because I already spent too much fucking time

picking up the pieces
after Mom left

-that I can't do it--
-I know.

Trust me, I know.

And I'm sorry.
[clears throat]

[sighs]

[sniffs]

Glad you're home.

[receding footsteps]

[phone dings, vibrates]

-[rapping on video]
-[Rigo] Oh.

[clears throat]

-You see this?
-Wow.

I knew Jai
was taking a video, but...

He must've just
gone ahead and posted it.

I guess a fly beat

gets more hits
than a beatdown.

-[rapping on video]
-Well, maybe this means something.

Yeah, we had a dope moment
on stage, but--

But maybe that's
the part of Friday night

we need to hold on to.

You know,
make something good come out of something bad.

[sighs]
I love you.

Getting kicked out
of High Water,

having you and King
both mad at me,

kind of opened me up
to something.

Maybe I was just
trying too hard

staying in front
of both of y'all.

[sighs]

And then that shit that
happened the other night at Marietta.

We don't have
to talk about it

if you don't want to.

I don't even know
if I can.

Hey, I'm talking about
on stage.

Me, you, Dondre.

My music
didn't even come alive

until you and him
put y'all moves on it.

We need to do
something like that, yo, but-- but bigger.

-What do you mean?
-Um, like a music video.

Make more music.
Make some platinum albums.

Just become, like,
multi-millionaires, yo.

[chuckles]

We just need to ride
whatever waves we make

as far as they can go.

And I wanna make sure
that what happened to us

the other night at Marietta
never happens again. Ever.

Making it big...

may change our lives,
but...

[sighs]

What's it really
gonna change?

[sighs]

You guys caught fire
with that party video.

Next on
Step Up: High Water.

We think it can
take over the world.

The song is fire,
but every other lyric

-is dissing Sage.
-Wait, what?

These motherfuckers
think they can diss me

-in my city?
-I deserve a chance

-to at least audition.
-I was counting on you

and you let me down.

-I'm-- I'm gonna go.
-What?
