I heard you call Tom, Bill, and Mike over.

- Previously on "Bruh"...

I hope it's not because of that Level 28 bar.

What your ass want? He ain't doing nothing but selling drugs.

- Can you find something to do? - Why can't that be you?

So I heard you looking to buy into level 28.

I would love to get in on that with you.

And I'll be in jail.

I was thinking about y'all investing in it with me.

[Laughter]

We're tired of carrying you.

At some point, John has to make something happen for John.

What up, Leon? I'm gonna take the money, cuz.

What are you doing?

[Sighs] I'm mopping.

Why?

What you mean why, Ma? This is my place, OK?

You can go home, all right? Love you.

Hell no.

The last time you mopped this floor, it was dirtier than

when you started.

Well, you don't think I can do nothing right, do you?

Well, son, let me put it for you gently.

Hell no.

OK, Ma.

- Well, you asked. - Fine.

I mean, you owe them boys $200,000.

- Oh, my God. - You owe me 15.

And you wanna get mad because they don't wanna give you

no more money?

[Sighs]

You know they want you to go over there and watch

the game with them but you trying to buy time

so you don't have to.

Are you done?

You're upset with me?

Because you know I don't give a shit.

I know, Ma. You don't ever give a shit, OK?

You just want me to stay up under you, depend on you every

time, all the time. - That's a lie.

Ma, you've been doing it since I was a kid.

I was just trying to teach you how to be a man.

By keeping me away from my dad?

That's teaching me how to be a man?

Oh, that's what we doing?

I ain't doing nothing, Ma.

No, I think you trying to blame me 'cause they don't wanna

give you any money.

Ma, I'm not trying to blame you for nothing.

- OK. - OK?

You know what?

I better get out of here before I drown your ass

in that bucket.

[Door beeps]

Drown your ass in this bucket.

[Door beeps]

What's up?

I thought she'd never leave.

Sometimes she don't.

Is that right?

- [Sighs] - Sure she go?

Yeah, I'm sure, man.

She pissed off real good this time.

Ain't that dangerous?

Yeah, last time I got shot at, so, yeah.

- What's up? - So we doing this or what?

[Sighs] I think-- I think so. Yeah.

I don't know.

Damn.

That's 500k, homie.

- That's $500,000? - Yes.

Man, I can pay them dudes back and buy Level 28 with this.

I know, and there's more of it if you need it.

[Sighs] Leon, man, that's a lot of money, man.

J, take the money, man. Take it.

I can't put it no bank. It's just sitting there.

[Sighs] This drug money, Leon.

But you ain't the one selling the drugs, bruh.

But still, I'm connected to it.

[Sighs] John-John, I'm trying to go clean, man.

I want out, and you can help me do that.

I'm sitting on all this bread.

All you got to do is take the money.

Level 28 used to be the spot, man.

You can make the money back in no time.

[Sighs] What's your cut?

Once you pay me back, we can do it 50/50.

Come on, man.

Man, it'd feel good to pay them dudes back, bro.

That's what I'm saying.

- And buy Level 28. - Moms won't even know.

We got this, man.

[Sighs] All right, cuz, let me think about it.

I know said yeah, but let me think--let me think about it.

All right, man. Do that, all right?

All right, all right.

Hey, hey, you ain't gonna take your money?

That's your money.

What? [Door beeps]

I said I was gonna think about it.

I said I'll think about it. I'll think about it.

[Sighs]

Thank you.

Any time.

Have a good one.

You were really good with her.

Thanks.

Like the time you were good with that little girl.

I see a lot of little girls.

No. You remember the one with the blue ribbons?

She was cute, right?

[Chuckles] Yeah, she was.

Kind of makes me think about what our kid could look like.

Don't do that.

I'm just--I'm just saying.

OK, well, I'd prefer if you didn't say.

Please, thank you.

Do you have to be such an asshole?

I'm not an asshole.

I just don't wanna do this and especially not right here.

Oh, you wanna wait until I'm drunk at home?

We both were drunk.

Doesn't matter. It still happened.

You wanted to do it. You wanted me.

Valerie, look, I'm sorry about all this.

I'm sorry about yesterday.

I'm sorry about right now, all right?

Thank you.

But I just need you to understand that that happened

but that was just one night.

Now we got to move forward and be professional.

No. It was special.

Yes, for you.

No, Tom. It was special for us.

I know you still want me.

I can see it. I can see it in your eyes.

I can see it through your pants.

Valerie, again, we got drunk, but I'm sorry, OK?

- That's it. - Yeah, OK.

OK, yeah. I get it.

Thank you for getting it.

I think you should ask for a transfer.

Why would I do that?

Because I can't do this.

OK. I can't work with you every day.

Well, I am not transferring but maybe you should.

[Scoffs] why should I? You came onto me.

- OK, you know what-- - No, you know what--

I'm gonna go talk to the chief of staff.

OK, well, you do what you got to do then.

- OK. Yeah, I will. - OK.

[Exhales sharply]

[Phone rings]

Hello?

Hey, we still on for later?

- Yeah. - Look, what's wrong, man?

This crazy-ass girl still at me.

[Laughs] I told you not to hit it.

- No, you didn't. - Yeah, I did.

That's right, you did.

It was Mike that was telling me to go for it.

Why the hell would you ever listen to that fool?

Tom: Yeah, I don't know, man. She's crazy as hell, bro.

You better be careful.

Yeah. Yeah, I know.

Hey, you actually might wanna hit up Mike, see what kind

of legal advice he got for you.

Tom: Wow. You know what? I do need to do that.

Bill: OK. Yo, well, I'm at A&J's grabbing lunch.

- See you later, all right? - All right, man.

Bill: Look, do you need anything else?

- I got everything else. - Great.

Is John still coming through tonight?

I'm at the shop, but he ain't here.

- He said he wasn't. - Huh, all right.

OK. I guess he really mad.

Got to go, man.

- All right. - Bye.

[Door beeps]

Bill.

What's up?

Peter, hey, what's up, man?

What the hell are you doing hiding around here?

Aw, man, you know, got hungry.

Had to get some lunch and I just saw my ex, so you know

how that is. - Yeah.

So what's good, man? Hey, how you been?

Good, man. Good, good.

Actually, um, actually just opened up a new office.

- Yo, that's great, man. - Yeah.

Actually, we're always looking for architects.

You should really consider coming down and work for us.

I appreciate that, man.

But I'm, you know, I'm doing good on my own.

That's great, man. That's great.

Yeah, all right, you know, if you don't mind, I got to go.

You know, I don't--I don't wanna see this girl.

Was it--was it--was it that bad?

Man, she was the worst.

I mean, I had to dump her and everything.

I don't wanna talk about it.

[Door beeps] That's crazy, man.

Hey...Bill.

Regina...Hey.

How are you?

I'm good. Great.

It's been a while.

Yeah. What, a little over a year, about?

Mmm. You know Peter?

Yeah. We took some classes together back in college.

Oh.

[Chuckles] Wait, so this is the ex you were talking about?

Yes. We dated for 3 years.

Peter: I--I didn't know that.

Yeah. Small world.

- Yeah. - Yeah, it is.

Well, Bill, thank you.

For what?

Thank you for getting out of the way so I can marry this

beautiful, beautiful woman.

What, marry?

Yes. We are getting married next month.

For real?

OK. Well, good seeing you.

- Say hi to the boys. - Yeah.

Still eating baloney, huh?

It's salami, but it's all good.

Bill, good seeing you, brother.

Yeah, yeah, good seeing you, man.

Yeah, congratulations. Take care.

[Wrapper rustles]

[Knock on door]

Hi. Just come in.

Hi.

You have a lot of meetings at your home?

No. This is my work-live space but our boss just wanted to

get this done, so thank you for coming.

Yeah, sure.

I'm Mike. I work tax law.

Andi. I'm on the divorce side.

Wow.

- Um... - What?

It's just nice to see a sister in this field.

Thank you.

And nice to see a brother.

I am.

And it's good to finally meet you.

Yeah.

Uh...well, we'll get back to work.

OK. Yeah.

Unless you wanna talk about the contract over some drinks?

Are you asking me out?

Yeah. I am.

I'm sorry if I led you to believe

that this was more than... - Wait, are you married?

I'm very committed.

OK. I see.

I know our boss wanted us to meet here after hours, but we

don't need to--that's all here in the file.

OK.

Well, I will take a look at this and get this back to you

as soon as possible.

Great. And you have a great day.

It's all the better for meeting you.

OK. See, you need to work on that.

Work on what?

That line. It's weak as hell.

[Chuckles] OK. You have a good day.

Bye.

Hey.

Hey, what's up, did you see that girl?

- Yeah. - She's bad as hell, right?

Yeah. I need to talk to you.

- What's up? - That girl.

You talking about Valerie?

Bro, I mean, it's like I don't know what to do.

She's trying to get me to transfer.

Bruh, come on, really?

Dude, I think she might go to my boss.

Then go to your boss first. What are we talking about?

And tell my boss I slept with a subordinate?

- I'll lose my job. - Yeah.

Why did I ever listen to you in the first place?

Hold on, don't blame that on me.

You wanted to hit.

Yeah, but you don't want--man. Damn.

Look, man, just go to your boss,

what other option do you have?

Yeah?

Oh, OK, yeah, OK.

All right.

Come on, let's watch this game.

All right.

[Man singing indistinctly]

[Television playing sports broadcast]

No!

No shut up, man! Play some defense.

Pity the fool, bruh.

No, it ain't even over yet, man. You're down by 20.

You're down by 20! You're down by 20!

There's another half of football to go, man,

relax, bruh.

All right.

What's the score? What's the score?

- Don't matter, - 20-0.

- Yo. - Look at that thing.

- Yo, play some defense, man! - Get in there, get in there.

No, yo, it's not even halftime yet. Shut up, man.

- You're down 20-0. - Shut up, man, yo.

Well, where's--well, I guess he ain't comin' tonight.

He's coming.

Mad at us 'cause we don't give him no money.

You know, that's crazy.

Come on.

Asking for more money and he hasn't paid us back yet,

who does that?

Then how you gonna get mad because we say no?

Yeah, that's fucked up.

I know, man, get out of here with that.

Yeah, well...

how much money has he borrowed from us over the years?

- Couple stacks. - Couple stacks?

Can you times that by 10, bruh?

- And then times that by 10? - Facts.

And that doesn't even include his mom.

Let's not talk...

Um-mmm. Every time, every time like she always touch me.

Every time. Why you laughing?

Because they don't touch me, and don't pretend like you don't like it, bruh.

No, man. She about 40 years too late, you know what i'm sayin'?

Maybe that.

She is kind of sexy in like an old lady nasty kind of way.

Yeah. She's nasty, definitely.

- Yeah. Yeah. - Ha ha!

Hey, guys, just stop.

- Ooh! Let's go! - Ooh!

Watch where you throwing the run!

- Oh, yes! - Man, shut up.

It ain't over yet. It ain't over yet.

Hey, hold on a second, man.

- So, Bill. - What?

I know why this dude's always in a bad mood, right?

- What? - You are. You're mean as shit.

But, Bill, what's going on with you today?

Something different.

Yo, ain't nothing different, all right?

Nothing's different.

I'm just not giving him any money, all right,

so can you stop asking?

Yes, can we change the subject from John, please?

- I hope he don't come tonight. - Come on, man.

Can we change the subject from John, please?

Fine.

I'm already stressed out enough as it is with Pam decorating my spots.

Yo, yo, hold up, ain't she the side piece?

All he has are sidepieces.

Ha ha ha!

Oh, man, but seriously, you guys change

the subject all you want.

Tom: We all love Level 28, so...

Tom, don't come in here with that soft stuff, man, all right?

Are you going soft?

Yo, yo, you a doctor. I know you got some stuff you

can take care of that, right?

Some off-the-market shit.

You real quiet. You real quiet.

Well, I mean, don't let me talk about the shot I had to

give you, Bill.

I thought we wasn't gonna talk about that.

- Whatever. - [Chuckling]

Can you give him a growth hormone? How about that?

How about you get a growth hormone, little man?

- Yeah, yeah. - Hey, I'm--

I get the most out of the group.

- What are you talking about? - Getting most out of what?

Out of all of us, both y'all combined.

Yo, yo, yo, we got standards, don't we?

- Right. - Standards.

And I pass all your standards on, all of 'em.

Bruh, if she got post, if she breathing, you hitting it out.

That's not--let's talk about Pamela.

- No, no, no, no. - Let's talk about Pamela.

Let's talk about Kayla. Let's talk about Fiona.

Let's talk about Kayla. Let's talk about Fiona.

Remember the one? Remember the one? Remember the one?

I bet you--you ever catch anything? Huh?

Let's talk about the game, man.

- Yeah. - Uh-huh.

- Ha ha! - So...

But, guys, honestly when it comes to John, I'm just saying.

- What? What? - He feels bad for him.

Oh, why the hell should we feel bad for him?

Well, you know he struggled in school.

And you know that we helped him.

Oh, come on, he is our boy, right?

That's right but he's not our son.

OK, I just think that we can ultimately--

- You wanna help him. - Yeah. He wants to help him.

Look, I wanna see him win.

We all wanna see him win.

- Right. - Right?

But does that mean I have to give him all my money?

Whoa, come on, man. It ain't all of our money.

You trippin', bro.

Let's be realistic. We can help the dude.

No!

You don't even know exactly what he's asking for.

I'm not gonna ask him exactly what he's asking for

because I'm not giving it to him.

OK. All I know is, I'm gonna ask him how much money he needs

when he gets here.

You go right ahead and do that.

Yeah. That's what I will do.

Hey, you know what, while you at it,

how about you ask him about that damn $50,000

he owe me for that sandwich shop?

So that's how today is gonna go, huh?

- Yep. - OK.

Oh! Come on!

Yo, watch where you're throwing the ball!

You really want me to win don't you?

- Shut up. - Oh, man.

[Laughter]

- Hey, John. - Whassup?

Hey, glad you could make it, man.

- How are you? - Hi. Good to see you.

I wasn't gonna miss our Thursday night thing, man.

Yo, I'm glad you didn't break it, seriously.

I did, man, I brought beer.

- Perfect. - Yeah.

Have a seat. Hey, bruhs, John is here.

- What's up, what's up? - Hello.

- Low energy. What up? - How you doing, buddy?

Good. Who winning?

- Oh, the ducks. Ducks. - The ducks, oh, OK.

- That's a good thing. - The ducks, the ducks.

Ah, that's good man, so that means

somebody in a good mood.

Ooh, that's a good catch. No, that's a weak-ass defense.

[Laughs] All right. [Indistinct]

Get it, yeah! Fight him, come on, come on!

- Do something. - Come on, man.

I told you. Do something.

- Keep it going. Run it back. - They're still down by 20, bruh.

Shut up. We about to score this right here.

All right? Yo. Whoo! Yeah.

Here we go, expending energy this way, baby.

- What I'm talking about. - You're not gonna win.

You're not gonna win.

Why do you always got to gang up, like when it's...

Like we got money tonight, boy.

No, you not, no, you not. I'm about to come back.

Speaking of money, man, let's talk about this loan.

Y'all don't wanna talk about that?

OK, let's not talk about that yet.

- Let's not talk about it. - Let's not talk about it,

let's talk about all that shit y'all was talking

while I was at the door listening.

We ain't say nothing we wouldn't say to your face, John.

- Is that bad, Mike? - Come on with the guilt trip.

- OK. - Oh. Whoo!

Finally! Ho ho ho!

- Wait, he caught that? - Boy.

You're down by 14.

Whatever. It's not even halftime.

You're still down.

- Don't matter. - He's down.

[Laughter]

Speaking of down, I wanna do this real quick, man.

[Zipper unzips]

- You got some sandwiches? - No, no, yeah.

Since y'all talking shit, bro, here's your 50 I owe you.

Yeah. 75 I owe you.

Here's your 75 plus the 10% I owe you.

Hey, thank you so much, friends, for believing in me.

I appreciate it, all right? I'm out.

- No, no, wait. - Hey, you got your money, bro,

so you should be good, right?

Ain't no more to say. I'm going, man.

John, what's wrong, man?

Bill: All right, thank you.

- Damn. - This real?

Yo, it look like it.

- Wait a sec-- - Yo, we actually paid up.

A month ago, he didn't have any money.

You're right.

Well, whatever the shit, guy already paid up.

Wait, wait, hold up,

guys, the question is where the hell did he get this

kind of money from?
