JACKIE: His dreams are now in my twin brother, Sergio.
Our mom says, Sergio's first word was "Kobe."
Our dad was a musician,
but he was the biggest 76ers fan ever.
Doc, Barkley, Iverson,
they were our heroes.
Sergio was ranked one of the top ten high school
players in the nation.
Which brings us to me, Jackie.
JUNE: Wake up.
6:00 and I don't wanna be in that bathroom all day.
Jack, get up!
JACKIE: I heard you.
I'm up.
I grew up listening to all the Philly greats,
Jill Scott, Boyz II Men, Musiq Soulchild.
Our dad used to play drums for a lot of those groups.
When I was a kid I used to sit in on some of the sessions.
I've been hooked on music ever since.

MANAGER: Come on!

JACKIE: Our neighborhood was divided into two sections,
the hilltop and the bottom, where we're from.
The kids on the hill always thought they were better
because they had a little more money,
but we had all the same problems,
drugs, crime, and everything else.
Even though our neighborhood was divided,
we all attended the same school.
Overbrook High, the castle on the hill.
It's located in the center of all the drama.
We were always beefing.
There was a constant war between them and us.
My two best friends were Trina
and my brother June's girlfriend, Simone.
Simone and June have a son together.
TRINA: You don't have to do that. SIMONE: They'll try you.
TRINA: They will shoot all the time.
Hey, Jack, you do your math homework?
JACKIE: Uh-huh. Why?
Let me see that jawn.
I'm glad we ain't got cheerleading practice today.
I am not in the mood. TRINA: Oh, that's right.
Girl, you better start doing your own homework, Trina.
Why? I know you're gonna do yours.
Ain't that what friends are for?
Jack, I need you to babysit for me tonight.
I'm trying to go to Peanut' party?
I love my nephew, but I do not have kids.

I done seen this hood take down the best.
Hmm?
Bucky,
or Pretty Tone...
Frog, huh?
Will Smith.
And Will Smith went to Overbrook.
And he stayed focused.
You see what I'm saying?
The hood ain't nothing but a breeding ground
for young black talent.
There's talent everywhere.
There's a Michael Jordan down the street.
There's a Mike Tyson over here.
There's a Biggie Smalls
working at (indistinct).
But the hood has a way of knocking you off your square.
See, the hood got a way of catering to your wants.
Just like your brother, for instance.
Your brother can be anything he wanna be,
what he wanted, he gonna go get it.
Not the right way by earning it, he gonna take it, huh?
Just like his daddy.
You can stop me when I'm lying.
Are you gonna stop when I'm lying?
But I'm not that naive
what I got to do. and I'm doing
I understand that. That's why I'm talking.
I don't talk to these niggas, I don't talk to your brother like this.
Your character is gonna determine your fate,
not your talent.

are privately owned anyway. that most of these prisons
And?
the jails are companies, And that means that
they make a profit which means
so the more people go to jail,
the more money they make.
And the fucked up thing is that the government
giving them the money is the ones that's
and then they get these contracts from these other companies
and they get the inmates to do all the labor.
That almost sounds like slavery.
No, no,
that's definitely slavery.

Our brother was gone.
All I could think about was, "God, please wake me up,"

JACKIE: Serg,
I'm proud of you.
We all are.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Let's go see grandma.
CHRIS: Dear Jackie,
it's been two years,
six months, and four days
since I last seen or heard from you.
I've written what seems to be hundreds of letters and...
Not even sure if you've read one of them, but...
I'll still write them.
Every night I replay the chain of events
that led me to where I'm at.
When June killed my cousin Omar,
I knew I was supposed to die right there with him.
He would have killed me with no hesitation.
I was so upset that I vowed to get him.
I know you won't understand, but...
Omar was like my bother.
I loved him so much
just as much as you loved June.
The more I replay it, the more...
I know I shouldn't have done it.
At the time, I was so caught up...
with all the hurt,
oh, just crazy I ended up
to you and your and your family bringing the same pain
and I'm sorry for that.
change my situation now, but... I know I can't do nothing to
I hope you can move on with your life.
I dream about us all the time, Jackie,
us getting married, bein' successful,
and maybe even having a kid.
But I know it was just a dream,
which is all I have in here.
That, and, of course the time we spent together.
I see Serg went to the league.
I knew he was gonna make it.
I saw his first game the other night.
He killed it.
But I'm not gonna hold you up much longer.
But before I go,
I wanna say, Jackie,
live your dreams, baby,
live your dreams.
And know that I'll always love you.
I know I never said it before,
but I always meant to...
everyday.
