COACH WILSON: WHAT A GAME!
I'LL LET COACH KELLY KNOW
THAT SPENCER JAMES IS BACK.
BILLY: I THOUGHT
THAT WAS YOU.
HOW COME YOU AIN'T
CELEBRATING WITH
THE REST OF THE TEAM?
I'LL CELEBRATE
WITH THEM AT THE END
OF THE YEAR GALA.
OK.
RIGHT NOW I
JUST WANTED--
WANTED THE PEACE
AND QUIET.
YEAH.
17-35, LOSS,
UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI.
THE GRASS WAS STILL WET
FROM WHEN IT RAINED
THAT MORNING.
THAT WAS THE FIRST GAME
AFTER MY MOM'S PASSING.
I REMEMBER EVERY DETAIL
LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY
JUST LIKE I REMEMBER
MY FIRST DATE
AFTER SHE PASSED,
MY FIRST THANKSGIVING,
MY FIRST TIME
BACK HOME AGAIN.
WELCOME TO A YEAR
OF FIRSTS, SON.
DOES IT, UM...
DOES IT GET EASIER?
YEAH, IT WILL.
TREY: LOOKS LIKE I MADE
THE RIGHT CALL
OKing YOU TO PLAY, SPENCER.
CONGRATS ON
THE JAMBOREE WIN.
UH, THANK YOU,
MR. HART.
BILLY, LET'S TALK.
WHAT'S GOING ON,
COACH?
TREY: PART OF
THE INVESTIGATION
WILL INCLUDE--
YOU MEAN WITCH HUNT,
RIGHT?
I MEAN, 'CAUSE
THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
AS ATHLETIC DIRECTOR,
IT'S MY JOB TO LOOK
INTO THINGS
THAT PUT OUR PROGRAM
AT RISK.
YOU LIED ABOUT
ASHER ADAMS
USING STEROIDS.
NOW, UNDERSTANDABLY,
THE BOOSTERS,
THE ADMINISTRATION
ARE CONCERNED ABOUT
WHAT ELSE YOU'VE DONE
OVER YOUR TIME HERE.
[CHUCKLING]
OH, THAT'S FUNNY
TO YOU.
LAST SEMESTER, I SUSPEND
ASHER BECAUSE HE WAS
DRUNK AT HOMECOMING,
AND Y'ALL WANTED TO DAMN
NEAR BURN ME AT THE STAKE.
THIS TIME, I'M TRYING TO
CUT THE KID A BREAK,
AND YOU AND YOUR
MOB BOOSTERS ARE
COMING FOR MY JOB?
THOSE TWO INCIDENTS ARE
NOT COMPARABLE, BILLY.
NOW, WHY DON'T YOU
JUST ADMIT IT?
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH ASHER
AND EVERYTHING
TO DO WITH THE FACT
THAT YOUR BOOSTERS
CAN'T CONTROL THE WAY
I RUN MY TEAM.
MOVING ON.
THE INVESTIGATION
WILL ALSO INCLUDE
TALKING TO YOUR
ASSISTANT COACHES AS
WELL AS YOUR PLAYERS.
SO IF THERE ARE
ANY OTHER SKELETONS
IN YOUR CLOSET,
SPEAK NOW.
NICE. LAST ONE.
ALL RIGHT. I'VE GOT
GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS.
WHATEVER IT IS,
JUST TELL ME, PLEASE.
WELL, I'LL START
WITH THE BAD.
LOOKS LIKE THIS
WILL BE THE END
OF OUR TIME TOGETHER.
YOUR SHOULDER'S
COMPLETELY HEALED.
YOU'RE BACK TO YOUR
OLD SELF, SPENCER JAMES.
IF THERE WAS ANY
RESIDUAL NERVE DAMAGE,
WE'D KNOW BY NOW.
ESPECIALLY GIVEN
THE INTENSITY OF
THE JAMBOREE GAMES,
YOU'D HAVE NECK PAIN,
AGGRESSIVE
MUSCLE WEAKNESS,
FULL NUMBNESS IN
YOUR HAND,
NONE OF WHICH YOU HAVE,
ALTHOUGH I WOULD'VE
SWORN I'D GET A SLIGHTLY
MORE EXCITED RESPONSE.
I'M SORRY.
I AM EXCITED.
IT'S JUST IT'S--
IT'S MY YEAR OF FIRSTS.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
OK, AND THE FOLLOWING
TUESDAY?
OK. UH, JUST PLEASE
LET ME KNOW
IF SOMETHING
OPENS UP. THANKS.
-HEY.
ANY LUCK BOOKING VENUES
FOR COOP'S TOUR THIS SUMMER?
MOST OF THE SLOTS
ARE ALREADY FILLED.
DID YOU TELL 'EM
WHO YOU ARE?
NO. I DON'T WANT
TO GET THIS
'CAUSE I'M
J.P. KEATING'S DAUGHTER.
I NEED TO DO THIS
ON MY OWN.
WELL, I CAN RESPECT THAT.
MMM! SAUSAGE PANCAKES
WITH A SIDE OF BACON?
OH. I ALREADY GOT US
THE EGG WHITE SCRAMBLE
WITH EXTRA AVOCADO.
SOUNDS EXTRA BORING.
I KNOW YOU'RE GONNA
EAT CRAP ON TOUR.
I'M JUST TRYING
TO SQUEEZE IN
SOME HEALTHY FOOD
BEFORE YOU GO.
HEY.
I'M GOING TO MISS YOU,
BUT COOP'S TOUR SHOULD KEEP
YOU BUSY WHILE I'M GONE.
YEAH. EVERYTHING'S
GOING BACK TO NORMAL.
NORMAL'S GOOD?
NORMAL'S GREAT.
OLIVIA: OK...
IMPROMPTU FAMILY
MEETINGS NEVER REALLY
GO WELL FOR US.
SO JUST RIP
THE BAND-AID OFF, DAD.
BILLY: OK. I'M MOVING OUT.
OLIVIA: WAIT. YOU'RE
LEAVING US AGAIN?
THIS IS NOTHING LIKE
LAST TIME.
I LEASED A NICE
CONDO THAT'S JUST
A COUPLE OF MILES AWAY.
SO I'M GONNA BE AROUND.
I'M GONNA BE AROUND A LOT.
JORDAN: IS THIS BECAUSE OF
THE INVESTIGATION AT SCHOOL?
ARE YOU LEAVING TO
PROTECT US FROM
SOMETHING THAT'S COMING?
BILLY: NO, NO, NO, NO.
THE TRUTH IS,
YOUR MOTHER AND I,
WE HAVE BEEN SEPARATED
FOR A WHILE NOW.
AND MOVING FORWARD
IS WHAT'S BEST
FOR THE FAMILY,
RIGHT, LAURA?
RIGHT, YEAH.
BILLY: RIGHT. SO...YEAH.
OK.
THANK YOU.
UH, I CALL DIBS ON
THE BIGGER ROOM.
MM-MM. NOPE.
IN YOUR DREAMS.
OLIVIA: WHAT?
JORDAN: GET OUT OF HERE.
-LOVE YOU, DAD.
-I LOVE YOU, TOO, MAN.
OLIVIA: LOVE YOU, DAD.
BILLY: LOVE YOU, OLIVIA.
♪ ALL MY LIFE, I READ
BETWEEN THE LINES... ♪
POPS, WHAT DID YOU DO
TO PISS OFF THESE BIRDS?
I LITERALLY CLEANED THIS,
LIKE, TWO DAYS AGO. DAMN.
HEY. WE WON THE JAMBOREE
YESTERDAY.
I'M NOT GONNA LIE.
IT FELT GOOD TO WIN AGAIN.
AIN'T BEEN A WHOLE LOT OF
THAT GOING ON.
DARNELL AND DILLON ARE STILL
WHUPPING MY ASS
AT FRIDAY NIGHT TABOO.
I MEAN, ME AND MOMS KNOW
THEY'RE CHEATING.
WE JUST AIN'T FIGURED OUT
THEIR TRICKS YET, YOU KNOW?
I GOT SOME GOOD NEWS.
MY SHOULDER IS FINALLY HEALED.
NO MORE P.T. FOR ME. YOUR BOY
SPENCER JAMES IS BACK.
DARNELL: YOU KNOW WHAT
THEY SAY ABOUT FOLKS WHO
TALK ABOUT THEMSELVES
IN THIRD PERSON?
YEAH. THEY SAY WE
DESTINED FOR GREATNESS.
YEAH. OK, WHATEVER.
BRO.
LOOKS LIKE WE HAD
THE SAME IDEA.
I WON'T INTERRUPT.
I'LL WAIT MY TURN.
YOU GOOD, MAN?
YEAH. JUST TRYING
TO GET AS MUCH TIME IN
WITH COREY AS I CAN.
YOU GOING SOMEWHERE?
YOU AIN'T HEARD?
SOUTH CRENSHAW IS
BEING CONVERTED INTO
A MAGNET SCHOOL
WITH LESS FOCUS ON
ATHLETICS.
-WAIT. WHAT?
-YEAH.
ME AND EVERYBODY ELSE
ARE GONNA HAVE TO ENTER
SOME LOTTERY SYSTEM
TO EVEN HAVE A SHOT
AT ENROLLING.
SOUTH CRENSHAW MEANS
EVERYTHING TO
THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
WHY THEY DOING THIS?
I MEAN, WITH ALL
THE FOOTBALL DRAMA
THIS YEAR
AND LOSING
TWO HEAD COACHES,
IT CREATED AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR SOME FOLKS WHO WANTED
A MAGNET CONVERSION
TO FINALLY
PUSH IT THROUGH.
THEY OFFICIALLY VOTING
ON IT NEXT WEEK.
SUPPOSEDLY
IT'S A LOCK.
SO YOU'RE TELLING ME
MY OLD SCHOOL,
COOP'S SCHOOL,
THE SCHOOL WHERE MY POPS
BUILT HIS LEGACY...
YOU TELLING ME THAT'S
GOING AWAY?
PATIENCE: TAKING AWAY OUR
SCHOOL IS SOME BULL,
AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT.
KIA: HOW ARE A
BUNCH OF SUITS
GONNA DECIDE WHAT'S
BEST FOR THE COMMUNITY
WITHOUT CHECKING
WITH THE COMMUNITY?
WE GOT TO RALLY EVERYONE--
STUDENTS, TEACHERS.
WE GOT TO SHOW
THE DISTRICT WE UNIFIED.
OR MAYBE WE DO
A FUND RAISER.
AIN'T LACK OF RESOURCES
PART OF THE EXCUSE
FOR CONVERTING IT
TO A MAGNET?
I'M LOVING THIS
BLACK EXCELLENCE,
BUT Y'ALL CAN'T MOVE
MOUNTAINS ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.
YES. THANK YOU.
CHRIS: OK, BUT I'M STILL
HELLA CONFUSED, THOUGH.
LIKE, WHY DOES THE SCHOOL BOARD
SUDDENLY THINK
A MAGNET SCHOOL IS THE ANSWER
TO ALL OF CRENSHAW'S PROBLEMS?
-I MEAN, WHAT HAPPENED?
-SUPERINTENDENT CARTER HAPPENED.
APPARENTLY, HE'S
WORKING ON A REHAUL OF
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
THINKS CONVERTING
THE SCHOOL IS THE KEY
TO BRINGING NEW MONEY
INTO CRENSHAW.
WE GOT TO CHANGE
CARTER'S MIND.
OR AT LEAST
THE OTHER VOTING
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
WELL, HOW?
SPENCER:
BY DRAWING ATTENTION
TO THE CONVERSION.
I MEAN, THERE'S PRESSURE
IN NUMBERS, RIGHT?
WHAT ABOUT A WALK OUT?
OR A SIT-IN.
OK, I HEARD THE SUPERINTENDENT
WAS PLANNING A VISIT
AFTER SCHOOL TOMORROW WITH
SOME BOARD MEMBERS.
HE WANTS TO SHOW THEM
HIS BIG PLAN.
HEY, THAT'S LIT.
WE GONNA GO ROSA PARKS
ON THESE FOOLS.
[LAUGHTER]
UH, DON'T YOU HAVE
YOUR FINAL ENGLISH
PRESENTATION TOMORROW?
YEAH,
BUT I NEED TO BE HERE.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS
GET GOING TO BEVERLY HILLS
SO YOU DON'T MISS
THE LAST BUS.
-CHRIS?
-OOH!
♪ IT LOOK GOOD,
READY TO EAT ♪
HEY, Y'ALL,
I GOT TO--I GOT
TO ROLL OUT.
OH, NO, IT'S
ALL GOOD, MAN. WE
GOT THIS COVERED.
LOOK, WE SHOULD HAVE
PEOPLE SPEAK UP AT
THE SIT-IN TOMORROW,
TALK ABOUT WHAT
THE SCHOOL MEANS
TO THEM,
AND POST IT
ON THE GRAM.
KIA: OK, I SEE YOU.
THERE'S ACTUALLY SOME BRAINS
BEHIND THOSE GOOD LOOKS.
PATIENCE: OH, MY GOSH.
SHE SAID HE HAS BRAINS.
[LAUGHTER]
MAN, I GOT THIS NEW
TRACK I'MMA DROP
THIS SUMMER ON TOUR
CALLED "FLY THE COOP."
IT IS FIRE.
DON'T YOU STILL GOT
WORK TO DO TO GET READY?
WHAT YOU DOING HERE?
I'M VISITING
MY UNGRATEFUL FRIEND,
LIKE I DO EVERY DAY.
YOU NEED
TO MOVE ON, COOP.
YOUR LIFE AIN'T HERE
DISCUSSING MY
CAFETERIA OPTIONS.
MAN, WHATEVER.
I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THAT
MEAT LOAF, THOUGH, HUH?
YO, DO NOT TRUST ANYTHING
MADE OF MYSTERY MEAT.
YOU THINK
I'M PLAYING?
TRY TO VISIT ME
HERE AGAIN AND SEE
WHAT HAPPENS.
GO LIVE
YOUR LIFE, COOP.
IT'S YOUR TIME
TO SHINE.
UH, MS. BRYANT'S
FINAL?
OK, LOOK, SIMONE, IF
YOU'RE HERE TO YELL--
JORDAN, NO YELLING.
I JUST WANTED TO
SAY THANK YOU,
ACTUALLY,
FOR TALKING
TO MY MOM.
OHH.
AND WHATEVER JORDAN BAKER
MAGIC YOU USED ON HER,
IT ACTUALLY WORKED.
I'M BACK HOME,
AND THINGS ARE--
THEY'RE KIND OF GOOD.
WOW. THAT'S GREAT, SIMONE.
THAT'S REALLY GREAT.
DOES THAT MEAN YOU'VE
CHANGED YOUR MIND
ABOUT THE BABY OR...?
I THINK ADOPTION
IS STILL BEST, SO...
ANYWAY...
I KNOW EVERYTHING
THAT HAPPENED WITH ME,
IT KIND OF TOOK YOUR
ATTENTION AWAY
FROM FOOTBALL,
AND I PUT TOGETHER
THIS SPECIAL HIGHLIGHT
REEL OF YOUR CAREER,
TO REMIND YOU OF
HOW GOOD YOU ARE.
[CHUCKLES]
THANK YOU, SIMONE. UM...
NO ONE--NO ONE'S EVER
DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS
FOR ME BEFORE.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
HAVE AN AMAZING SUMMER,
JORDAN BAKER.
HI. YOU'VE
REACHED LESLIE.
I'M NOT AROUND RIGHT NOW,
BUT LEAVE A MESSAGE
AND I'LL GET BACK TO YOU
AS SOON AS I CAN. THANK YOU.
AHEM. HEY, LESLIE,
UM, BEEN A WHILE.
I WAS, UM, I WAS
HOPING TO CATCH UP
OR SOMETHING.
UM, YEAH.
HIT ME BACK, OK?
-HEY.
-HI.
ASH, I KNOW I SAID THAT
WE SHOULD TAKE A BREAK,
AND THAT MAKES THINGS
REALLY WEIRD NOW,
BUT, UM, BUT WE WERE
BEST FRIENDS FIRST,
AND I...
-I MISS YOU.
-I MISS YOU, TOO.
WE'LL FIGURE THIS OUT.
I MEAN, WE HAVE ALL SUMMER
TO SORT THROUGH
THE MESS WE MADE.
ACTUALLY, MY
MOM INVITED ME
TO SPEND
THE SUMMER WITH HER
ON JACOB'S YACHT.
YOU KNOW, JUST
THE TWO OF US,
MINI WORLD TOUR.
SHE WANTS TO GET BACK
THE TIME WE LOST.
WOW. THAT'S--
THAT'S AMAZING.
YEAH.
UM, WELL, I SHOULD--
I SHOULD GET
TO CLASS, SO...
YEAH.
SPENCER: DAMN.
YO, THESE ARE
DOPE, LAYLA.
COOP: I KNOW, RIGHT?
WHICH ONE YOUR POP LIKE?
I HAVEN'T
SHOWN HIM YET.
HE'S BEEN SO BUSY
WITH THE BIG TOUR,
I DIDN'T WANT TO
GET IN HIS WAY.
I THOUGHT YOU WAS COOL
WITH HIM LEAVING.
I AM. I--HE'S ALREADY
SPENT ENOUGH TIME AT
HOME DEALING WITH ME.
AND HIS WORK IS
IMPORTANT TO HIM,
AND HIS CLIENTS NEED
HIM, AND I NEED TO LET
HIM GET BACK TO THEM.
-HEY, GUYS, WHAT'S UP?
-HEY, WHAT'S UP, PATIENCE?
YOU READY?
WE GOT TWO HOURS.
IN L.A. TRAFFIC? NO.
DARNELL AND KIA WILL
KILL US IF WE'RE LATE.
YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO THE SIT-IN?
I CAN'T. I GOT TO WORK.
I COULDN'T FIND NOBODY
TO COVER MY SHIFT.
BE GLAD, BRO.
THAT WAY, YOU AIN'T GOT
TO DEAL WITH COMMANDER KIA
AND LIEUTENANT DARNELL.
OK? THEY ARE TAKING
THIS LEADING THE CHARGE
THING VERY SERIOUS.
HEY, YOU ALL DO
YOUR THING TONIGHT.
I SHOULD GET GOING,
TOO. I GOT TO HELP
MY DAD PACK.
PACK FOR WHAT?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
THE TOUR.
HE DIDN'T TELL YOU?
HE BACKED OUT.
ONE OF HIS EXECS IS
COVERING FOR HIM.
YOUR DAD IS STAYING HOME
FOR THE SUMMER.
SPENCER, WHAT ARE
YOU DOING HERE?
AND "WHAT'S UP"
TO YOU, TOO.
BABY, SHOULDN'T YOU BE
GETTING READY FOR
YOUR TEAM'S GALA?
I FORGOT
MY DRESS SHOES.
WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON?
NOTHING. NOTHING.
I JUST WANTED
TO COME HOME.
I WANTED TO SEE YOU
AND DILLON.
WHY IS THAT A PROBLEM?
IT'S NOT A PROBLEM.
WE MISS YOU, TOO.
-YOU SURE?
-HA HA!
WHAT'S THAT?
SUPPLIES FOR THE RALLY
AT SLAUSON CAFE TONIGHT.
WHAT RALLY?
DARNELL AND KIA AND COOP
PLANNED IT TO SAVE CRENSHAW.
THE SIT-IN LAST NIGHT
WAS KIND OF A BUST.
YEAH, SUPERINTENDENT CARTER
FOUND OUT ABOUT IT SOMEHOW,
HAD THE COPS ALREADY AT
THE SCHOOL WAITING.
BUT LIKE DARNELL SAID,
CARTER CAN'T STOP
THEM FROM RALLYING
THE COMMUNITY ELSEWHERE.
SLAUSON CAFE IT IS. UH!
SO WHY DIDN'T
NOBODY TELL ME?
HONEY, IT CAME
TOGETHER ALL
VERY LAST MINUTE,
AND YOU HAVE YOUR
GALA TONIGHT.
DARNELL AND
THE OTHER KIDS
GOT IT HANDLED.
SO DON'T NOBODY
NEED ME.
SPENCER, NOBODY
SAID THAT.
YOU ALL GOT THIS BIG
FIGHT FOR SOUTH CRENSHAW,
AND MEANWHILE, I'M JUST
SUPPOSED TO GO PLAY DRESS UP
WITH MY RICH FRIENDS
INSTEAD?
IT DOESN'T ALWAYS HAVE
TO BE YOU ON THE FRONT
LINE, SPENCER.
AND YOUR GALA
IS IMPORTANT.
IT'S THE CULMINATION
OF AN UNBELIEVABLE YEAR
FOR YOU AND THE EAGLES.
LOOK AT EVERYTHING
YOU OVERCAME LAST YEAR
ON THAT FIELD, SPENCER.
THAT DESERVES TO BE
CELEBRATED.
YOU DESERVE TO BE
CELEBRATED, OK?
HAROLD: PACKING'S
A LITTLE PREMATURE,
ISN'T IT?
WE BOTH KNOW THIS
INVESTIGATION ISN'T
GONNA GO MY WAY.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
IT WASN'T GONNA
GO YOUR WAY.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "WASN'T"?
FROM THE BOOSTERS,
LETTERS OF SUPPORT FOR
ENDING THE INVESTIGATION
AND YOU STAYING ON
AS HEAD COACH.
THE INVESTIGATION IS
EFFECTIVELY OVER.
HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO--
I OWED YOU FOR
STANDING UP FOR MY BOY.
CONSIDER US EVEN
FOR NOW.
OH, OK.
I SEE HOW THIS GOES.
SO, THEN, WHAT DO
THE BOOSTERS WANT FROM ME
IN RETURN FOR THIS, UH,
THIS FAVOR?
THEY HAVE SOME THOUGHTS
FOR NEXT SEASON.
THEY'LL BE IN TOUCH.
[FOOTSTEPS]
WHY THEY GOT TO MAKE
THE HOLES SO SMALL
AND
THE CUFFLINKS SO BIG?
LOOK, I NEED HELP
FROM A PRO. PLEASE.
COME ON.
[HEAVY SIGH]
HELPING OTHERS
IS OVERRATED.
I AIN'T SEEN YOU
AT NONE OF OUR
MIDNIGHT HANGS LATELY.
HOPE THAT MEANS YOU'RE
SLEEPING BETTER.
NOT REALLY. JUST BEEN
DRAWING IN MY ROOM,
TRYING TO CLEAR
MY MIND INSTEAD.
HEY, I CAN'T BLAME YOU.
THEM REAL HOUSEWIVES
ARE GETTING REAL CRAZY.
AIN'T NOTHING SCARIER
THAN A RICH WHITE WOMAN
PLANNING
A 3-YEAR-OLD'S
BIRTHDAY PARTY.
[CHUCKLES]
SERIOUSLY, THOUGH,
YOU DOING OK?
JUST A LOT GOING ON
RIGHT NOW.
YEAH, AND YOUR POPS
MOVING OUT DON'T HELP.
YEAH. WELL, PLUS,
ASHER'S GOING AWAY WITH
HIS MOM FOR THE SUMMER.
MY MOM'S GOT
AN IMPORTANT NEW JOB.
IT JUST FEELS LIKE
EVERYONE'S MOVING ON.
YOU REACH OUT TO YOUR
SPONSOR LATELY?
-YES.
-LIV.
I'M GOOD, SPENCER.
I PROMISE.
-OK.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
JORDAN: WELL, I NEVER THOUGHT
I'D BE THIS INTO A DRINK
CALLED CUDDLES ON
THE BEACH,
BUT, HEY, HERE WE ARE. MMM.
YO, FOR REAL,
THIS PARTY'S
INSANE.
JORDAN: AND ALL PAID FOR
WITH LEFT-OVER MONEY
FROM THE FOOTBALL PROGRAM.
THAT'S THE CRAZIER PART.
-ARE YOU SERIOUS?
-MM-HMM.
MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY
ARE JUST 10 MILES AWAY
FIGHTING TO KEEP
THEIR SCHOOL OPEN.
MEANWHILE, WE LITERALLY
WATCH MONEY MELT
OFF ICE SCULPTURES?
[EXHALES]
YEAH...
IS THAT A CUDDLES
ON THE BEACH?
MAYBE.
HOW ABOUT WE MAKE IT
A LITTLE BIT MORE
THAN A CUDDLE?
OH. UM, NOT TONIGHT.
THANK YOU, THOUGH.
HI.
-YOUR FAN CLUB'S BACK.
-MM-MM. NO.
NOT MY TYPE.
SIMONE'S GOT YOU
WIDE OPEN LIKE THAT.
WHATEVER. OK,
SIMONE'S NOT
INTERESTED ANYWAY.
UH, YOU MEAN THE SIMONE
WHO SPENT ALL THAT TIME
CREATING THAT DOPE-ASS
HIGHLIGHT REEL,
THE ONE WHO MOVED HERSELF
OUT TO A HOTEL
JUST SO YOU COULD HAVE
YOUR LIFE BACK?
YEAH, YOU RIGHT.
SHE NOT FEELING YOU.
GOOD LUCK, MAN.
♪ 4, 3, 2, 1 ♪
[MUSIC PLAYING]
TREY: I MEAN, I TOOK IT
EASY ON HIM, OF COURSE,
RIGHT?
I SHOT A COUPLE
OVER PAR.
I MEAN, IT'S
TOM BRADY, OK?
I COULDN'T
MAKE HIM LOOK BAD.
A LITTLE UNDERDRESSED,
DON'T YOU THINK?
YEAH, IT'S ALL GOOD.
I WON'T BE HERE LONG.
I FINALLY REALIZED,
IT AIN'T GONNA MATTER
HOW MANY CHAMPIONSHIPS
I LEAD US TO.
I AM CONSTANTLY
GONNA KEEP TRYING
TO PROVE MY WORTH
TO YOU AND THE BOOSTERS,
AND I AIN'T ABOUT THAT LIFE.
I KNOW MY WORTH. I KNOW
I'LL NEVER BE THE PUPPET
THAT Y'ALL WANT ME TO BE.
AND IF I STAY ON, I'LL
EVENTUALLY STOP BEING
THE MAN I KNOW MYSELF TO BE.
THE ONES WHO'LL
SUFFER THE MOST ARE
MY BOYS ON THE TEAM,
AND I AIN'T GONNA LET
THAT HAPPEN.
SO THANKS,
BUT, NO, THANKS.
WHAT THE HELL ARE
YOU DOING, BILLY?
I AM OFFICIALLY
RESIGNING AS HEAD COACH
OF THE BEVERLY EAGLES.
[CROWD MURMURING]
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
HOLD ON. HOLD ON.
BILLY.
AND THE AUDACITY,
AFTER WE WERE WILLING
TO GIVE
HIM ANOTHER CHANCE.
HE LACKS WORTH ETHIC, OK?
THAT WAS ALWAYS
BILLY'S PROBLEM.
EVER SINCE I'VE KNOWN HIM,
HE'S DONE THIS.
HOW DARE YOU.
AH--
D.A. BAKER. UM...
YOU KNOW WHAT?
STOP TALKING, OK?
BILLY PUT HIS HEART
AND SOUL INTO THIS
FOOTBALL PROGRAM
AND NEVER ASKED FOR
ANYTHING IN RETURN.
YOU WANT TO TALK
ABOUT CHARACTER?
BEVERLY WILL NEVER FIND
ANOTHER HEAD COACH THAT
CARES ABOUT HIS PLAYERS
AS MUCH AS BILLY DOES.
TRUST ME, YOU'RE GONNA
REGRET LOSING HIM.
-FOR COACH BAKER.
-YEAH!
HOW'S COACH BAKER?
SURPRISINGLY GOOD.
HE SAID HE'S AT PEACE
WITH HIS DECISION.
ARE YOU?
I HAVEN'T REALLY
PROCESSED IT YET.
I MEAN, THERE'S BEEN SO MUCH
CHANGE THESE PAST FEW MONTHS,
NOTHING SURPRISES
ME NO MORE.
DARNELL ON VIDEO: HEY, GUYS,
WE JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU...
LAYLA: LOOKS LIKE
THE RALLY'S GOING WELL.
HOPEFULLY, A LITTLE
LESS DRAMA THAN HERE.
EVERYBODY'S THERE.
NOT EVERYBODY.
THEY DON'T NEED ME.
WELL, MAYBE THIS TIME
IT'S YOU THAT NEEDS THEM.
I'D BE BLIND NOT
TO NOTICE HOW RESTLESS
YOU'VE BEEN LATELY.
HOME, CRENSHAW.
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN
WHAT CENTERS YOU.
AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT
YOU COULD USE A MAJOR
DOSE OF HOME RIGHT NOW.
YOU DOWN FOR A RIDE?
COME ON.
[LAYLA LAUGHS]
KIA: THEY'RE TRYING
TO IMPOSE
THIS TRANSFORMATION
ON OUR SCHOOL
WITHOUT CONSULTING PARENTS,
TEACHERS, ANY OF US.
DARNELL: TEACHERS
ARE GONNA HAVE
TO REAPPLY FOR JOBS
JUST LIKE WE'RE
GONNA HAVE TO REAPPLY
JUST FOR A CHANCE
TO ATTEND
THROUGH A LOTTERY.
AND AIN'T NO WAY WE'RE
STANDING FOR THIS, RIGHT?
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
THANK YOU...
YO, REMIND ME TO
NEVER GET ON THE WRONG
SIDE OF THOSE TWO.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
HEY.
GRACE: HEY. WHAT ARE
YOU DOING HERE?
DONATE WHATEVER RESOURCES
YOU CAN
FOR THE SCHOOL.
HELP US BUILD THE CASE
THAT WE CAN SUCCEED
AS A REGULAR PUBLIC SCHOOL.
[APPLAUSE]
BILLY DID WHAT?
EVERYTHING'S
GONNA BE FINE, MA.
EVEN WITHOUT COACH BAKER,
BEVERLY FOOTBALL'S
STILL GOT A FUTURE,
WHICH IS MORE THAN I CAN SAY
FOR SOUTH CRENSHAW RIGHT NOW.
SO WHO'S GOT NEXT?
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.
THIS IS WHERE I NEED TO BE
TONIGHT.
GRACE: OK.
YOU STICKING AROUND?
UH, NO. I GOT TO
GO FIND MY DAD.
THE SAME WAY BEING
AT HOME SETTLES YOU,
BEING ON TOUR SETTLES HIM.
I GOT TO SOMEHOW CONVINCE
HIM TO GO ON TOUR.
MY MONEY'S ON YOU.
[DARNELL SPEAKING, INDISTINCT]
BYE.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
ASH, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?
IF HART SEES YOU,
HE'LL--
HE'LL WHAT? SUSPEND
AN ALREADY SUSPENDED PLAYER?
LOOK, LIV, I THOUGHT A LOT
ABOUT WHAT'S IMPORTANT,
AND I DON'T WANT TO
LEAVE YOU THIS SUMMER.
ASHER.
AND I DON'T WANT TO MISS
THIS TIME WITH MY MOM EITHER.
SO WHAT IF YOU
CAME WITH US?
WHAT, FOR
THE WHOLE SUMMER?
WHAT BETTER WAY TO
WORK ON US
THAN TO BE STUCK
ON A BOAT TOGETHER?
[CHUCKLING] WHAT?
[CHUCKLING]
OK.
SIMONE: IT TAKES A LOT
TO DRAG A PREGNANT
GIRL OUT OF BED
THIS LATE, JORDAN.
OK, LOOK, IN MY DEFENSE,
I HAD A WHOLE PLAN ON
THE FIELD FOR A PICNIC,
BUT THE FOG KIND OF
MESSED THAT UP.
ANYWAYS, IT DOESN'T
MATTER, BECAUSE...
I COME BEARING TREATS.
JORDAN, WHAT IS THIS?
THAT'S A MOCKTAIL.
IT'S ACTUALLY CALLED
CUDDLES ON--
NO. I'M NOT TALKING
ABOUT THE DRINK.
UM...
I JUST--I WANTED TO ASK.
WHY DID YOU MAKE THAT
HIGHLIGHT REEL FOR ME?
YOU KNOW, SIMONE, WATCHING
MY HIGHLIGHTS GOT ME THINKING
ABOUT MY FAVORITE PLAY WHEN
THE GAME IS ON THE LINE.
BALL IN MY HANDS, I THROW
IT AS FAR AS I CAN,
HOPING MY RECEIVER
WILL MAKE THE CATCH.
IT'S ACTUALLY CALLED A--
HAIL MARY.
RIGHT.
IT'S A LAST DITCH EFFORT.
HARD TO MAKE WORK, BUT
YOU HAVE TO TRY, RIGHT?
OTHERWISE THE GAME'S OVER.
YEAH. BUT, JORDAN,
THIS ISN'T A GAME.
THIS IS...
IT'S REAL LIFE.
OH, I KNOW.
BUT THE SAME RULES APPLY.
I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU,
SIMONE.
OK? AND I KNOW YOU MIGHT NOT
FEEL THE SAME WAY,
AND THAT'S OK, BUT I JUST
NEEDED YOU TO KNOW.
AND THAT WAS MY HAIL MARY,
BY THE WAY, IN CASE--
GRACE: AN ORGANIZED,
TELEVISED PROTEST
OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL.
GET OUR FIGHT IN
THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT.
YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD
RAISE SOME REAL FUNDS
FOR THIS SCHOOL?
A BACHELOR AUCTION, RIGHT?
UM, EXCUSE ME.
MICAH: YOU GOOD?
GRACE: YEAH.
I GOT 400 FOR A DATE NOW
WITH YOUR FINE YOUNG SELF.
YOU PUT ME UP ON THAT
STAGE, I COULD GET YOU
BIDS QUADRUPLE THAT
IN MINUTES.
UM, I'M NOT
SINGLE, DENISE.
AW. NOT EVEN TO HELP
THE KIDS?
[CHUCKLES WEAKLY]
GRACE: SUPERINTENDENT CARTER,
ARE YOU LOST?
[CHUCKLES]
THE FLYER SAID THIS EVENT
WAS OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY.
WELL, IF YOU REALLY
CARED ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY,
YOU WOULDN'T BE
TRYING TO SHOVE
THIS MAGNET CONVERSION
DOWN OUR THROATS.
WHAT I'M PROPOSING IS
GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY.
URBAN REVITALIZATION
CAN'T HAPPEN
WITHOUT GENTRIFICATION.
AND STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
THAT NEIGHBORHOODS
GENTRIFY FASTER
WITH THE INCREASED PRESENCE
OF MAGNET SCHOOLS.
EVERYTHING GOOD, MA?
ABSOLUTELY.
JUST LISTENING TO
SUPERINTENDENT CARTER
MANSPLAIN URBAN
REVITALIZATION TO ME.
AND LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING, CARTER,
GENTRIFICATION ISN'T
ALWAYS THE ANSWER
TO FIXING THE HOOD.
CLEARLY IT WAS
A MISTAKE COMING HERE.
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME.
SO YOU'RE JUST GONNA
BOUNCE WITHOUT
HEARING OUR SIDE?
LOOK AROUND, SIR.
LOOK HOW MANY PEOPLE
RALLIED WITH LESS THAN
A DAY'S NOTICE.
IMAGINE HOW MANY MORE
GONNA SHOW UP
TO FIGHT AT
THE SCHOOL BOARD
MEETING NEXT WEEK.
THIS IS
OUR CRENSHAW, MAN.
AIN'T NO WAY WE LETTING
OUR HOOD, OUR SCHOOLS
GET STRIPPED
AWAY FROM US
PIECE BY PIECE.
YOUR PASSION IS COMMENDABLE.
I'M AFRAID IT'S TOO LATE.
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
I HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH
VOTES TO PUSH THROUGH
MY MAGNET CONVERSION PLAN
TO THE SCHOOL,
SO THE BOARD AGREED THERE'S
JUST NO POINT IN WAITING.
THE MEETING TO VOTE ON
THE FATE OF SOUTH CRENSHAW
HAS BEEN MOVED UP
TO TOMORROW.
[RESIDENTS MURMURING]
GOOD LUCK
WITH YOUR EVENT.
[SIGHS]
DON'T EVEN
SEEM REAL.
YEAH. YOU'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
THE WORD'S ALREADY SPREAD
TO RECRUITERS ABOUT YOUR
IMPRESSIVE RUN AT JAMBOREE.
EVERYBODY LOVES
A GOOD COMEBACK STORY.
SENIOR YEAR.
EVERY D-I SCHOOL IN
THE NATION IS GONNA WANT
A PIECE OF
SPENCER JAMES.
WON'T BE THE SAME
WITHOUT YOU.
YOU THE REASON I'M
THE PLAYER I AM.
NO. YOU, YOU'RE THE REASON.
DON'T FORGET THAT.
HEY, I GOT YOU SOMETHING.
WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEING
YOUR YEAR OF FIRSTS.
I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO
GO THROUGH IT ALONE.
COREY WILL ALWAYS BE
BY YOUR SIDE.
SO WILL I
NOT AS A COACH, BUT
ALWAYS AS YOUR FRIEND.
J.P.: MAKE SURE YOU
HAVE EXTRA SECURITY
AT THAT VENUE.
I DON'T WANT A REPEAT
OF LAST YEAR.
AND MAKE SURE EVERY
ARTIST SHOWS UP ON--
HEY. SERIAH,
CAN YOU EXCUSE US
FOR A SEC?
OK.
EVERYTHING OK?
YOU'RE GOING ON
YOUR TOUR, DAD.
YOU JUST GOT OUT OF REHAB
A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.
LEAVING SO SOON WAS
A CRAZY IDEA.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
I WAS THINKING.
I NEED TO BE
HOME WITH YOU.
I AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT
THE HOME PART,
BUT HOME ISN'T THE 4
WALLS WE LIVE BETWEEN.
IT'S WHEREVER YOU
AND I ARE TOGETHER.
SO THIS SUMMER, I'M
COMING WITH YOU.
-YOU MEAN THAT?
-MM-HMM.
WELL, HOW ABOUT YOUR
INDIE TOUR WITH COOP?
I'VE ALREADY STARTED
CALLING THE SMALLER VENUES
IN ALL THE CITIES
YOU'RE HITTING.
COOP CAN PLAY
THOSE SPOTS,
I STILL
GET MY INDIE TOUR,
AND YOU AND I GET
OUR QUALITY TIME.
[CHUCKLING]
OHH.
[SIGHS]
HEY, WHERE'S YOUR
SUITCASE?
THOUGHT YOUR MOM AGREED.
I CAN'T GO WITH YOU, ASH.
-LOOK--
-JUST WAIT. HEAR ME OUT, OK?
[SIGHS]
YOU DESERVE TO HAVE
THE SUMMER ALONE
WITH YOUR MOM, OK,
TO RECONNECT
AND REBUILD WHAT
YOU BOTH LOST.
AND I KNOW WHAT
THAT MEANS TO YOU.
THAT'S THE RELATIONSHIP
YOU SHOULD BE FOCUSING
ON RIGHT NOW.
WHAT DOES
THAT MEAN FOR US?
IT MEANS THAT I WILL
SPEND THE SUMMER
WORKING ON MY PODCAST
AND DRAWING.
HEY, BUT
WHATEVER IT IS,
I'LL BE WAITING
FOR MY BOYFRIEND
TO COME HOME
SO THAT WE CAN HAVE
A KICK-ASS SENIOR YEAR.
GRACE: HOW CAN THEY NOT
SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING?
WHAT'D I MISS?
MOM AND SOME OTHER
PARENTS WENT TO TALK
TO THE PRESIDENT OF
THE SCHOOL BOARD
ABOUT SOUTH CRENSHAW,
BUT SHE DIDN'T
LISTEN.
DARNELL: THEY'RE SET ON
CONVERTING THE SCHOOL, MAN.
THERE'S NOTHING WE
CAN DO ABOUT IT.
SOUTH CRENSHAW WAS A PART
OF DAD'S LEGACY.
SO NOW I'M NOT GONNA
BE ABLE TO SHARE
THAT WITH HIM?
WHEN WILL PEOPLE LEARN
THAT YOU CAN'T KEEP
TAKING RESOURCES
OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD
AND EXPECT THE HOOD
TO STAY STANDING?
HEY, WHAT IS THAT?
IT'S THE RESOURCE.
YO, WHAT'S UP, BROTHER?
ASHER:
WHY DID YOU CALL
A TEAM MEETING?
JORDAN: YO,
IS THIS ABOUT MY DAD?
CROWD: THE FIGHT IS NOT OVER!
WE WILL TAKE OVER!
THE FIGHT IS NOT OVER.
WE WILL TAKE OVER...
SETTLE--QUIET!
IF YOU DON'T QUIET DOWN,
YOU WILL BE REMOVED.
QUIET.
[CLEARS THROAT]
MAY I SPEAK,
MS. SANCHEZ?
SPENCER JAMES ISN'T
A STUDENT AT THIS SCHOOL.
IT'S NOT HIS PLACE
TO SPEAK.
BUT I AM A MEMBER OF
THIS COMMUNITY, SIR.
SO THAT GIVES ME
EVERY RIGHT.
SANCHEZ: GO AHEAD,
MR. JAMES.
TWO MINUTES.
PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP ON
SOUTH CRENSHAW HIGH,
MS. SANCHEZ.
NOT YET.
MY MOMS REMINDED ME TODAY THAT
IF WE KEEP TAKING RESOURCES
OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD,
IF WE KEEP DILUTING
THE LEGACIES AND MEMORIES
CREATED BY THIS NEIGHBORHOOD,
THERE GONNA BE NO HOOD LEFT
STANDING.
AND, LOOK,
I'M GUILTY OF IT, TOO.
I TOOK A RESOURCE AWAY
FROM MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND LIKE SUPERINTENDENT CARTER,
I THOUGHT I WAS DOING IT
FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS,
BUT I WAS WRONG.
I WAS WRONG.
REINVESTING IN OUR COMMUNITY,
REINVESTING IN US,
IN ALL OF US,
IS THE RIGHT CHOICE.
THAT'S WHY I'M BRINGING BACK
THE RESOURCE I TOOK AWAY.
WHAT RESOURCE ARE
YOU REFERRING TO?
ME.
I'M THE RESOURCE.
I'M ONE OF THE TOP 100 PLAYERS
IN THE COUNTRY,
BACK ON TOP OF EVERY
RECRUITER'S LIST.
D-I SCHOOLS WILL TRAVEL
TO SEE MY PLAY.
THAT KIND OF NATIONAL ATTENTION
WILL ATTRACT EVEN MORE RESOURCES
AND TALENT NOT JUST FOR
THE SCHOOL
BUT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITHOUT
PUSHING THE LOCALS OUT.
SO AS OF THIS FALL, I'LL BE
REENROLLING AS A STUDENT
AT SOUTH CRENSHAW HIGH.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
SOUTH CRENSHAW DESERVES
ITS SHOT AT BEING GREAT.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK
THAT YOU ALL THINK
LONG AND HARD ABOUT THAT
BEFORE YOU CAST YOUR VOTE.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
-HEY.
THANKS FOR MEETING ME.
YEAH, WELL, HA!
I HAD SOME FREE TIME
ON MY HANDS.
HEY, I HEARD ABOUT
THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.
ALL RIGHT. BRINGING IT BACK
TO WHERE IT ALL STARTED, HUH?
YUP.
COREY WOULD BE PROUD.
THANKS. WELL, WE AIN'T
OUT THE WOODS YET.
THEY ONLY
HOLDING OFF ON
CONVERTING THE SCHOOL
FOR ANOTHER YEAR.
OH, OK.
AND THEN IF THEY CAN'T PROVE
BY THEN THAT THEY'RE WORTH
BEING KEPT OPEN,
IT'S A WRAP.
-YEAH.
-WHEW.
WHAT'S THE PLAN?
WIN THE STATE
CHAMPIONSHIP NEXT YEAR.
COME ON, MAN.
AIN'T NOBODY SHUTTING
DOWN THE HOME OF
THE STATE CHAMPS.
YEAH. THAT'S
A LOT OF WEIGHT ON
YOUR SHOULDERS, SON.
YEAH, I CAN HANDLE IT
WITH THE RIGHT COACH.
MAYBE ONE WHO NEVER GOT
TO WIN STATE WHEN HE
WAS A STUDENT HERE
WITH HIS BEST FRIEND.
[CHUCKLING]
YOU'RE SERIOUS.
DEAD SERIOUS.
COME COACH FOR ME HERE,
ON YOUR HOME FIELD,
RUNNING THE PROGRAM
YOUR WAY.
THIS FEELS VERY FAMILIAR.
IT SHOULD.
WE HAD
A SIMILAR
CONVERSATION
ALMOST
A YEAR AGO.
AND I TOOK A RISK,
AND I BET ON YOU.
SO WHAT'S UP, COACH?
YOU WILLING TO TAKE
A RISK AND BET ON ME?
OH, WOW.
I THOUGHT I TOOK
TAMIA COOPER OFF
MY APPROVED VISITORS LIST.
WHAT YOU
DOING HERE, MO?
WELL, THAT'S NO WAY
TO GREET AN OLD FRIEND.
DID YOU REALLY THINK
THAT I WOULD LET SOMEONE
MURDER MY BABY BROTHER
AND I WOULDN'T
COME BACK TO TOWN?
WHAT'S DONE IS DONE.
TYRONE'S GONE.
AND THE WOMAN WHO TOOK
HIM OUT IS IN CUSTODY.
RUTH SCOTT MAY HAVE
PULLED THE TRIGGER,
BUT SHE DIDN'T TAKE HIM
DOWN ALONE.
YOU LEFT THIS LIFE
A LONG TIME AGO, MO.
DON'T DO THIS.
WE BOTH KNOW HOW
IT'S GONNA END.
IF YOU PRICK US,
DO WE NOT BLEED?
IF YOU TICKLE US,
DO WE NOT
LAUGH?
IF YOU POISON US,
DO WE NOT DIE?
AND IF YOU WRONG US,
SHALL WE NOT REVENGE?
