00:00:11,929 --> 00:00:14,306
Hi, my name is Armond Collins,
2
00:00:14,306 --> 00:00:19,144
and I'm committed
to the University of Southern California.
3
00:00:41,542 --> 00:00:46,380
I'm Tyriq Williams, and I'm taking
my talents to the University of Virginia.
4
00:01:07,484 --> 00:01:12,948
My name is Ramel Evans,
5
00:01:12,948 --> 00:01:18,495
and I'm going to be playing for the CBA...
6
00:01:20,622 --> 00:01:23,417
{\an8}in China.
7
00:01:52,321 --> 00:01:54,531
Hey, what's up? My name is Deandre Wright.
8
00:01:55,365 --> 00:01:58,952
I may go to the University of Texas
or Georgetown.
9
00:01:59,703 --> 00:02:00,746
Or Indiana State.
10
00:02:01,496 --> 00:02:02,539
I'll let y'all know.
11
00:02:04,333 --> 00:02:05,584
Do you all know who I am?
12
00:02:06,335 --> 00:02:07,461
Do you all know who I am?
13
00:02:07,461 --> 00:02:10,214
Get off of me, man, please!
14
00:02:10,214 --> 00:02:11,507
This ain't right.
15
00:02:13,008 --> 00:02:14,134
Get off of me!
16
00:02:14,134 --> 00:02:15,385
Let me go!
17
00:02:17,971 --> 00:02:21,475
{\an8}Let me go. Let me go, man.
18
00:04:24,097 --> 00:04:26,141
Crys, you good?
19
00:04:28,685 --> 00:04:30,479
I don't even know what that means anymore.
20
00:04:33,649 --> 00:04:34,691
I feel you.
21
00:04:39,154 --> 00:04:44,451
Last night, Phil, Drew and Musa
made an announcement.
22
00:04:46,578 --> 00:04:47,663
I heard.
23
00:04:48,413 --> 00:04:49,414
They're my henchmen.
24
00:04:51,458 --> 00:04:53,210
You know, y'all are so stupid, right?
25
00:04:54,211 --> 00:04:56,588
I wouldn't say that,
but we definitely not smart.
26
00:05:01,844 --> 00:05:03,637
Your post on IG made you famous.
27
00:05:04,555 --> 00:05:06,265
A million views for calling people out.
28
00:05:06,265 --> 00:05:11,144
Everyone acts
like what happened to me is a joke.
29
00:05:13,438 --> 00:05:14,815
It isn't.
30
00:05:15,858 --> 00:05:16,942
Never was.
31
00:05:22,948 --> 00:05:25,367
We got this community service game today.
32
00:05:25,951 --> 00:05:30,205
Something set up through Coach Ike
and Meg's Swagger DMV program.
33
00:05:31,081 --> 00:05:34,710
School doesn't have their hands on it,
so I can play.
34
00:05:36,044 --> 00:05:38,672
If we all don't end up suspended
from Cedar Cove basketball,
35
00:05:38,672 --> 00:05:41,049
today could be
our last time hooping together.
36
00:05:41,633 --> 00:05:43,177
What about the legal stuff?
37
00:05:44,428 --> 00:05:47,222
My mother's spearheading
a letter campaign to the DA.
38
00:05:48,140 --> 00:05:50,517
Gladiator Sneakers got us
a really dope lawyer.
39
00:05:51,435 --> 00:05:54,479
And I'm trying not to be tight
about all of it.
40
00:05:54,479 --> 00:05:56,023
That's good, Jace.
41
00:06:00,527 --> 00:06:01,528
I gotta go.
42
00:06:06,491 --> 00:06:10,329
Speaking of being famous,
saw your sex tape online.
43
00:06:11,705 --> 00:06:12,706
Kissing video?
44
00:06:13,916 --> 00:06:16,084
Anyway, that's old news.
45
00:06:16,627 --> 00:06:18,337
What? She broke your heart or something?
46
00:06:19,338 --> 00:06:23,258
Believe me, if I want my heart broken,
I know exactly where to go.
47
00:06:24,551 --> 00:06:25,761
What's that supposed to mean?
48
00:06:28,514 --> 00:06:30,098
Excuse me?
49
00:06:30,766 --> 00:06:34,019
After sophomore year, you were the one
who said you needed space.
50
00:06:34,019 --> 00:06:36,355
I said that because you said
you needed time
51
00:06:36,355 --> 00:06:38,524
to focus on taking your game
to the next level.
52
00:06:44,571 --> 00:06:49,576
But I'm glad things
are going so amazingly well with--
53
00:06:49,576 --> 00:06:51,286
- Roderick.
- Right.
54
00:06:52,955 --> 00:06:54,164
Yeah. It's been a little hectic.
55
00:06:54,164 --> 00:06:58,043
So him and I decided to take a break.
56
00:07:04,925 --> 00:07:08,804
There has been a lot of heat on us.
57
00:07:10,305 --> 00:07:11,598
Not everyone can handle it.
58
00:07:15,853 --> 00:07:16,854
Ball out, okay?
59
00:07:18,188 --> 00:07:19,189
Always.
60
00:07:43,213 --> 00:07:44,756
- Morning, Coach Meg.
- Morning.
61
00:07:45,257 --> 00:07:46,758
- Coach Ike.
- Morning, Mus.
62
00:07:47,509 --> 00:07:49,303
Hop on the bus. First come, first serve.
63
00:07:55,309 --> 00:07:56,310
Thank you.
64
00:08:05,110 --> 00:08:06,528
Your dad and I talked about it.
65
00:08:06,528 --> 00:08:08,822
We don't feel good about you going.
66
00:08:09,573 --> 00:08:11,450
It doesn't matter
if the school sanctioned it.
67
00:08:12,743 --> 00:08:13,744
This is my team.
68
00:08:14,286 --> 00:08:16,747
And if there's any time
to stand with them, it's now.
69
00:08:16,747 --> 00:08:18,749
They're playing
an exhibition game at a prison.
70
00:08:19,499 --> 00:08:21,835
And by the end of the week,
some of them might end up there.
71
00:08:21,835 --> 00:08:24,922
- It's a detention center.
- It is a sinking ship.
72
00:08:33,054 --> 00:08:34,181
The answer is no.
73
00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:36,808
Bus is leaving in ten.
74
00:08:36,808 --> 00:08:38,477
We've talked about this.
75
00:08:38,477 --> 00:08:39,686
And it doesn't make sense.
76
00:08:40,270 --> 00:08:42,438
I'm not comfortable
with that group of individuals.
77
00:08:42,438 --> 00:08:45,734
- That group of individuals are my friends.
- I'm not comfortable with that either.
78
00:08:45,734 --> 00:08:47,110
And that's your problem.
79
00:08:48,612 --> 00:08:49,988
I'm going to play.
80
00:08:50,989 --> 00:08:52,908
I did not sign that consent form,
81
00:08:53,492 --> 00:08:54,326
and I don't intend to.
82
00:08:55,953 --> 00:08:57,246
This is bullshit.
83
00:08:59,957 --> 00:09:02,292
How are we even able
to afford an attorney, Ma?
84
00:09:02,292 --> 00:09:03,418
We can't.
85
00:09:04,127 --> 00:09:07,589
But Alonzo from Gladiator Sneakers,
he's taking care of it.
86
00:09:07,589 --> 00:09:10,801
He just asked us to keep it quiet.
87
00:09:17,766 --> 00:09:18,725
Hey, Ma.
88
00:09:19,768 --> 00:09:21,228
It's all gonna be okay.
89
00:09:24,982 --> 00:09:26,650
Yeah, it is.
90
00:09:39,955 --> 00:09:41,748
I agree with your decision to stay home.
91
00:09:41,748 --> 00:09:45,586
Nicholas, sometimes you have to do
what's best for the team.
92
00:09:47,296 --> 00:09:49,423
But sometimes you have to do
what's best for you.
93
00:10:06,231 --> 00:10:07,316
What's up, homey?
94
00:10:20,329 --> 00:10:23,081
The other players either canceled
or didn't respond to my text.
95
00:10:28,837 --> 00:10:30,297
Our starting five is on the bus.
96
00:10:35,135 --> 00:10:36,470
I know we said we'd be there.
97
00:10:37,262 --> 00:10:41,308
I'm just triple-checking
that we feel all right about this timing.
98
00:10:41,892 --> 00:10:42,809
I think it's necessary.
99
00:10:44,728 --> 00:10:45,729
I don't know what to think.
100
00:10:49,149 --> 00:10:52,819
Maybe it's something the kids need.
101
00:10:54,279 --> 00:10:57,866
With all due respect,
I know what my kid needs.
102
00:11:00,869 --> 00:11:01,787
Let's do this.
103
00:11:02,287 --> 00:11:03,288
Okay.
104
00:11:13,215 --> 00:11:14,216
Hey, hold on.
105
00:11:27,437 --> 00:11:28,689
What's up, Coach?
106
00:11:33,610 --> 00:11:34,736
What's up, Royale?
107
00:11:41,159 --> 00:11:42,035
Okay.
108
00:11:49,710 --> 00:11:53,005
Our athletic director is not exactly
my biggest fan.
109
00:11:53,005 --> 00:11:54,047
Need a tissue?
110
00:11:55,090 --> 00:11:57,843
Not shedding tears, but he may fire me.
111
00:11:57,843 --> 00:11:59,803
Can't say I'd miss working with him,
112
00:11:59,803 --> 00:12:02,681
but I would miss that big-ass house
he got me and Tonya.
113
00:12:04,766 --> 00:12:06,018
Me too.
114
00:13:04,368 --> 00:13:05,786
We appreciate y'all visiting.
115
00:13:06,495 --> 00:13:09,456
Just got to let Betty do her job here. Search.
116
00:13:10,916 --> 00:13:12,668
Let's go. Search.
117
00:13:17,047 --> 00:13:18,006
Go on.
118
00:13:36,233 --> 00:13:39,945
- Wait a second, I know you.
- Hey.
119
00:13:40,445 --> 00:13:43,448
- I'm Phil Marksby, Mr. Carlos.
- Nice to know you, Mr. Phil.
120
00:13:43,448 --> 00:13:44,658
- Pleasure to meet you.
- All right.
121
00:13:44,658 --> 00:13:47,286
- Hello, Mr. Carlos. I'm Jace Carson.
- How you doing, brother?
122
00:13:47,286 --> 00:13:48,787
- Good.
- What's up, man?
123
00:13:48,787 --> 00:13:49,913
What's going on there, Ikey?
124
00:13:50,497 --> 00:13:52,624
Man, I ain't seen you since
you was knee-high to a grasshopper.
125
00:13:53,917 --> 00:13:55,127
Man, how's the family doing?
126
00:13:55,127 --> 00:13:57,087
- Everybody's good, sir. Everybody's good.
- Fantastic.
127
00:13:57,087 --> 00:14:00,465
Everybody, this is John Carlos, okay?
128
00:14:00,465 --> 00:14:02,968
- Yeah.
- He was in the 1968 Olympics.
129
00:14:03,552 --> 00:14:07,514
Now, I want y'all to go ahead,
take a look at this.
130
00:14:10,434 --> 00:14:14,313
This man is a hero to many of us.
131
00:14:14,980 --> 00:14:18,108
Left fist in the air
during the national anthem.
132
00:14:18,108 --> 00:14:20,194
He loved his country enough
to challenge it.
133
00:14:21,695 --> 00:14:23,572
Okay,
so go ahead and introduce yourselves.
134
00:14:24,072 --> 00:14:26,867
- Dr. Carlos, Naim Rahaim.
- All right, brother? All right.
135
00:14:26,867 --> 00:14:28,702
- Musa Rahaim. It's an honor, sir.
- Yeah.
136
00:14:28,702 --> 00:14:30,579
- Drew Murphy, sir.
- All right, brother.
137
00:14:30,579 --> 00:14:32,581
- Royale Hughes.
- Nice to know you, brother.
138
00:14:32,581 --> 00:14:34,625
- Nick Mendez. Thank you for everything.
- All right, Nick.
139
00:14:34,625 --> 00:14:36,335
- Megan Bailey.
- Thank you, Coach.
140
00:14:36,919 --> 00:14:40,088
All right. Now,
I'd like to pose a question to you guys.
141
00:14:40,088 --> 00:14:44,218
What is the largest mental health
provider in the United States?
142
00:14:47,304 --> 00:14:48,222
Yes, sir, Phil.
143
00:14:48,222 --> 00:14:50,265
- Prisons.
- Absolutely correct.
144
00:14:50,265 --> 00:14:54,394
There's prisons. There's jails.
And there's detention centers.
145
00:14:54,394 --> 00:14:59,191
In this country, the majority of people
with mental illness are behind bars.
146
00:14:59,191 --> 00:15:04,446
We also incarcerate more people per capita
than any other country in the world.
147
00:15:04,446 --> 00:15:05,864
And at this day and time,
148
00:15:06,365 --> 00:15:10,577
there are more Black people
in the penitentiaries across this nation
149
00:15:10,577 --> 00:15:14,915
than there were Black people enslaved
before the Civil War.
150
00:15:15,415 --> 00:15:19,837
The prison system
has become the new plantation.
151
00:15:19,837 --> 00:15:21,547
Does that sound like a problem?
152
00:15:21,547 --> 00:15:22,881
- Yeah.
- Absolutely, sir.
153
00:15:22,881 --> 00:15:24,550
Now, these young men out there
154
00:15:24,550 --> 00:15:26,552
that you guys
are going to play against today,
155
00:15:26,552 --> 00:15:30,264
it's been buzzing around about--
They out here to kick y'all ass.
156
00:15:32,808 --> 00:15:34,893
So in turn, I want you guys to think
157
00:15:34,893 --> 00:15:38,981
about the same premise
of kicking their asses.
158
00:15:39,690 --> 00:15:40,524
All right?
159
00:15:40,524 --> 00:15:43,777
All right, guys, I want you to remember
this when you go into the game today:
160
00:15:43,777 --> 00:15:45,362
Winners are made on the court.
161
00:15:46,530 --> 00:15:48,740
Champions are made off the court.
162
00:15:49,658 --> 00:15:51,034
- Thank you.
- Yes, sir.
163
00:15:51,535 --> 00:15:54,621
Now we're going to turn the program
over to Sergeant Hampton.
164
00:15:54,621 --> 00:15:56,206
- Hello.
- Hello. Hi.
165
00:15:56,707 --> 00:16:00,294
The Maryland Youth Facility
houses male incarcerated people
166
00:16:00,294 --> 00:16:02,379
from the ages of 13 to 17.
167
00:16:02,379 --> 00:16:06,049
None of the people you'll interact with
today will have weapons of any kind,
168
00:16:06,049 --> 00:16:08,135
and you will only be interacting
with the young men
169
00:16:08,135 --> 00:16:09,928
who have exhibited good behavior.
170
00:16:09,928 --> 00:16:13,515
I'm gonna split you off into groups
and let you visit various classrooms.
171
00:16:14,016 --> 00:16:15,017
As Mr. Carlos mentioned,
172
00:16:15,017 --> 00:16:17,603
we want our young men
to have college in their future,
173
00:16:17,603 --> 00:16:20,981
so you are encouraged to engage.
174
00:16:22,149 --> 00:16:23,525
- All right?
- All right.
175
00:16:23,525 --> 00:16:25,402
- Thank you.
- Let's get you all processed.
176
00:16:28,822 --> 00:16:29,948
Thank you.
177
00:16:29,948 --> 00:16:33,118
Phil Marksby, Musa Rahaim,
Drew Murphy, and not to mention,
178
00:16:33,118 --> 00:16:35,329
Jace Carson, got on the biggest stage
they could find
179
00:16:35,329 --> 00:16:38,081
and in one swoop embarrassed Cedar Cove.
180
00:16:39,124 --> 00:16:42,419
Four of our starters
could end up in jail or on probation.
181
00:16:42,419 --> 00:16:45,839
And you, my friend,
bear much of the responsibility.
182
00:16:46,548 --> 00:16:47,758
How am I involved?
183
00:16:48,884 --> 00:16:51,303
You convinced the board
for me to hire Ike as head coach.
184
00:16:51,303 --> 00:16:52,679
Were he a better role model,
185
00:16:53,180 --> 00:16:55,724
this whole thing
could have been contained.
186
00:16:55,724 --> 00:16:56,892
So it's safe to assume
187
00:16:56,892 --> 00:16:59,603
that you're considering
the pros and cons of expulsion.
188
00:17:00,646 --> 00:17:02,439
This institution is bigger than the kids.
189
00:17:02,439 --> 00:17:04,107
Nothing is bigger than the kids.
190
00:17:04,107 --> 00:17:07,486
This institution is bigger
than those four kids.
191
00:17:08,569 --> 00:17:10,656
I assume, like us,
you have others to save.
192
00:17:18,704 --> 00:17:21,415
The governing board of
the Maryland Unified Athletic Council
193
00:17:21,415 --> 00:17:23,126
should take the lead on this.
194
00:17:23,126 --> 00:17:25,753
Look, you and me both know
how restrictive they are.
195
00:17:25,753 --> 00:17:28,590
How buttoned up
they want their athletes to be.
196
00:17:29,174 --> 00:17:33,679
If Cedar Cove expels the Cedar Cove Four,
as they're being called,
197
00:17:33,679 --> 00:17:36,348
or if Gladiator pulls their sponsorship,
198
00:17:37,432 --> 00:17:39,977
that's bad PR for the both of us. But--
199
00:17:39,977 --> 00:17:42,855
You're proposing
we let the MUA be the bad guys.
200
00:17:44,731 --> 00:17:48,110
They analyze the series of events,
make a ruling concerning their future play
201
00:17:49,736 --> 00:17:50,696
and we follow suit?
202
00:17:50,696 --> 00:17:54,032
I think following their
conservative recommendations
203
00:17:54,032 --> 00:17:55,200
may be a better way to lead.
204
00:17:58,120 --> 00:18:00,539
I thought your sympathies lay
with the Swagger players.
205
00:18:01,290 --> 00:18:03,667
They do, 100%.
206
00:18:06,211 --> 00:18:09,423
But as you said,
there are others to save, right?
207
00:18:57,930 --> 00:19:00,390
"What happens to a dream deferred?
208
00:19:01,141 --> 00:19:04,603
Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?
209
00:19:05,604 --> 00:19:08,815
Or fester like a sore-- And then run?
210
00:19:10,275 --> 00:19:12,402
Does it stink like rotten meat?
211
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,449
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
212
00:19:19,076 --> 00:19:21,662
Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.
213
00:19:23,205 --> 00:19:24,748
Or does it explode?"
214
00:19:26,667 --> 00:19:29,211
What do you think Langston Hughes
is trying to say with that poem?
215
00:19:29,837 --> 00:19:34,216
If people don't get opportunities
or figure their lives out,
216
00:19:34,216 --> 00:19:35,342
their dreams can go away.
217
00:19:35,926 --> 00:19:39,888
And when your dreams go away,
shit can get crazy for you.
218
00:19:39,888 --> 00:19:41,056
You're already crazy.
219
00:19:41,557 --> 00:19:42,724
Settle down.
220
00:19:45,686 --> 00:19:46,728
Thank you.
221
00:19:47,646 --> 00:19:50,774
I noticed one of our visitors
is pretty adept with Langston Hughes.
222
00:19:50,774 --> 00:19:51,859
Am I right?
223
00:19:54,736 --> 00:19:56,655
Sorry. Yes.
224
00:19:57,781 --> 00:20:00,367
My mother used to read his poems to me
225
00:20:01,368 --> 00:20:05,914
when she was locked up.
226
00:20:05,914 --> 00:20:08,667
If you don't mind me asking,
how long was she incarcerated?
227
00:20:09,793 --> 00:20:10,627
Two years.
228
00:20:12,713 --> 00:20:15,799
Do you remember any lines
from one of the poems?
229
00:20:15,799 --> 00:20:18,010
- I think I might.
- We'd love to hear it.
230
00:20:18,552 --> 00:20:19,803
Come join us.
231
00:20:35,611 --> 00:20:39,281
"Well, son, I'll tell you:
232
00:20:41,742 --> 00:20:44,870
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
233
00:20:47,623 --> 00:20:48,707
It's had tacks in it...
234
00:20:51,835 --> 00:20:52,961
and splinters,
235
00:20:54,129 --> 00:20:55,339
and boards torn up,
236
00:20:56,173 --> 00:20:58,050
places with no carpet on the floor.
237
00:20:58,926 --> 00:20:59,927
But all the time
238
00:21:01,428 --> 00:21:02,679
I'se been a-climbin' on
239
00:21:04,348 --> 00:21:05,682
and reachin' landin's...
240
00:21:07,851 --> 00:21:09,394
and turnin' corners,
241
00:21:10,187 --> 00:21:13,857
and sometimes goin' in the dark
242
00:21:15,317 --> 00:21:16,985
where there ain't been no light."
243
00:21:27,621 --> 00:21:31,542
"So boy, don't you turn back.
244
00:21:32,876 --> 00:21:34,795
Don't you set down on those steps
245
00:21:34,795 --> 00:21:35,963
'cause it's kinda hard.
246
00:21:35,963 --> 00:21:37,339
Don't you fall now...
247
00:21:40,384 --> 00:21:41,885
for I'se still goin', honey.
248
00:21:42,970 --> 00:21:44,263
I'se still climbin',
249
00:21:44,263 --> 00:21:49,142
and for me,
life ain't been no crystal stair."
250
00:22:01,113 --> 00:22:03,198
Well done. Thank you.
251
00:22:24,094 --> 00:22:25,679
Our students are future scientists.
252
00:22:25,679 --> 00:22:29,141
They'll be gardening,
working with solar power,
253
00:22:29,141 --> 00:22:31,143
and this semester, they're working
with bee colonies
254
00:22:31,143 --> 00:22:32,853
and understanding how bees help the earth.
255
00:22:32,853 --> 00:22:34,313
That's amazing.
256
00:22:34,313 --> 00:22:36,815
The biggest de-escalator to violence
in this detention center
257
00:22:36,815 --> 00:22:38,483
has been the classes we've offered.
258
00:22:50,954 --> 00:22:52,831
Is it all right? He played for me.
259
00:22:59,254 --> 00:23:02,090
- How you doing, Coach?
- It's good to see you, Vince.
260
00:23:02,674 --> 00:23:05,761
- What up, Drew? Boy.
- Real good to see you, Vince.
261
00:23:08,222 --> 00:23:09,223
Hey.
262
00:23:11,767 --> 00:23:12,851
I tried reaching you.
263
00:23:15,395 --> 00:23:19,483
Look, I'm sorry. I know.
264
00:23:21,985 --> 00:23:25,364
That is why you must challenge
each claim and not each person.
265
00:23:28,158 --> 00:23:31,286
Class, we have some visitors today
from Cedar Cove Prep.
266
00:23:31,286 --> 00:23:32,412
Let's welcome them.
267
00:23:34,289 --> 00:23:35,457
Hey.
268
00:23:36,708 --> 00:23:39,962
So, which one of you is the star
on the debate team?
269
00:23:40,546 --> 00:23:43,173
- Star?
- That would be Royale.
270
00:23:44,550 --> 00:23:48,011
This is a rare treat for us.
You see, this is our debate class,
271
00:23:48,011 --> 00:23:50,848
and we never get the opportunity
to debate with someone of your stature.
272
00:23:51,515 --> 00:23:54,059
Hold on.
I think there is some kind of confusion.
273
00:23:54,059 --> 00:23:56,812
I just joined the debate team
this semester and I'm an alternate,
274
00:23:56,812 --> 00:23:58,564
but somebody quit.
So now I'm first speaker.
275
00:23:58,564 --> 00:24:01,108
- But I don't think it's--
- Even an alternate at Cedar Cove is elite.
276
00:24:02,025 --> 00:24:05,028
It really would be a rare treat for you
to debate one of our students.
277
00:24:05,529 --> 00:24:06,613
What do you say, Cedar Cove?
278
00:24:07,614 --> 00:24:10,909
- Ce--
- I don't think he's exactly asking.
279
00:24:13,871 --> 00:24:14,705
Yeah.
280
00:24:40,397 --> 00:24:43,567
All right.
You've been given your prep notes.
281
00:24:43,567 --> 00:24:45,319
The debate topic is:
282
00:24:45,819 --> 00:24:50,699
America's Independence Day
should be January 1st, 1863,
283
00:24:50,699 --> 00:24:53,577
the date that
the Emancipation Proclamation was signed.
284
00:24:53,577 --> 00:24:56,246
Royale Hughes has opted
for the affirmative.
285
00:24:56,830 --> 00:24:59,124
Royale, the floor is yours.
286
00:25:04,171 --> 00:25:10,010
Resolved. America's Independence Day
should be January 1st, 1863,
287
00:25:10,010 --> 00:25:12,221
when the Emancipation Proclamation
was signed.
288
00:25:12,221 --> 00:25:14,014
According to the Library of Congress,
289
00:25:14,014 --> 00:25:18,018
on July 4th, 1776,
the Declaration of Independence announced
290
00:25:18,018 --> 00:25:19,811
the colonies' separation
from Great Britain.
291
00:25:19,811 --> 00:25:23,190
The decree was,
"All men are created equal."
292
00:25:24,274 --> 00:25:29,279
However, all men and women did not have
the legal right to be treated equally.
293
00:25:31,114 --> 00:25:34,493
According to the National Archives,
on January 1st, 1863,
294
00:25:35,452 --> 00:25:37,788
the Emancipation Proclamation
was announced.
295
00:25:38,455 --> 00:25:42,459
Thousands of enslaved people attained
their freedom in an unjust society
296
00:25:42,459 --> 00:25:44,127
where we were told we were barely human.
297
00:25:44,127 --> 00:25:46,380
African Americans
walked off the plantations
298
00:25:46,380 --> 00:25:49,550
and walked away from their "slave owners."
299
00:25:49,550 --> 00:25:53,053
The Pittsburgh Courier reports
that we were legally emancipated.
300
00:25:54,304 --> 00:25:57,808
But we were still mistreated,
denied our rights.
301
00:25:58,559 --> 00:26:01,395
In fact, we were denied
the information of our own freedom.
302
00:26:04,189 --> 00:26:10,279
However, we do not mark this date
because emancipation was finally realized.
303
00:26:11,029 --> 00:26:14,324
We mark this date because emancipation
was finally proclaimed.
304
00:26:16,368 --> 00:26:17,202
Thank you.
305
00:26:21,164 --> 00:26:22,165
Marcus Johnson.
306
00:26:33,051 --> 00:26:36,138
When I get released next month,
it'll be bittersweet.
307
00:26:37,431 --> 00:26:41,935
I mean, let's face it, I won't have to sit
next to Gary and deal with his bad breath.
308
00:26:49,443 --> 00:26:53,197
But my brother is in this institution.
309
00:26:55,199 --> 00:26:58,994
Like, literally, my biological brother
is sitting right there.
310
00:27:01,455 --> 00:27:03,582
See, I'm being released
due to good behavior.
311
00:27:04,416 --> 00:27:05,375
He isn't.
312
00:27:08,545 --> 00:27:10,881
And when I go home, my mother will hug me.
313
00:27:12,090 --> 00:27:13,842
But there will still be a hole
in her heart
314
00:27:14,343 --> 00:27:16,220
because her other son
never walked through that door.
315
00:27:17,262 --> 00:27:21,058
When our so-called emancipation
was proclaimed,
316
00:27:21,058 --> 00:27:23,602
thousands of African Americans
were never told.
317
00:27:23,602 --> 00:27:27,356
News never reached them.
And it was deliberate.
318
00:27:27,356 --> 00:27:32,861
On June 19th, 1865, two and a half years
after the Emancipation was proclaimed,
319
00:27:33,403 --> 00:27:37,407
enslaved Africans in Texas learned
of their freedom for the very first time.
320
00:27:39,159 --> 00:27:43,872
Now, my opponent is correct that while
America was free of British rule in 1776,
321
00:27:44,581 --> 00:27:46,083
all of America was not.
322
00:27:47,251 --> 00:27:51,588
He contradicts himself by suggesting that
we celebrate the Emancipation Proclamation
323
00:27:51,588 --> 00:27:53,006
as part of our independence,
324
00:27:53,006 --> 00:27:56,176
knowing that many of us
were denied that very same proclamation.
325
00:27:58,846 --> 00:28:01,348
Now, is this not in fact,
just like my brother and I?
326
00:28:06,061 --> 00:28:08,772
You see, as long as my little brother
is in this place...
327
00:28:10,774 --> 00:28:12,025
I won't truly be free.
328
00:28:14,903 --> 00:28:19,032
And until Black Americans learned word
on June 19th, they weren't either.
329
00:28:20,951 --> 00:28:23,912
That is the date of our true independence.
330
00:28:25,706 --> 00:28:31,503
Because we can't proclaim freedom
until we all proclaim freedom.
331
00:28:33,338 --> 00:28:35,424
- Thank you.
- Yeah!
332
00:28:42,139 --> 00:28:46,185
All right. Quiet down, please. Quiet down.
333
00:28:48,729 --> 00:28:50,731
I see that some of you feel
that Marcus has won.
334
00:28:50,731 --> 00:28:52,024
Hell yeah.
335
00:28:54,193 --> 00:28:57,446
Like everything in life,
it is not just about the passion.
336
00:28:57,988 --> 00:28:59,865
You must also be disciplined.
337
00:28:59,865 --> 00:29:04,494
You must be prepared,
and you must know the rules.
338
00:29:04,494 --> 00:29:06,747
Marcus, did you cite any research?
339
00:29:07,247 --> 00:29:08,957
I was citing myself.
340
00:29:10,417 --> 00:29:13,378
So you didn't cite any of the research
provided in the prep notes?
341
00:29:14,546 --> 00:29:18,592
Your closing line, "We can't proclaim
freedom until we all proclaim freedom."
342
00:29:18,592 --> 00:29:19,968
Who were you citing?
343
00:29:19,968 --> 00:29:21,595
Marcus Johnson.
344
00:29:22,846 --> 00:29:26,850
Excuse me, Mr. Miller.
I thought Marcus was brilliant.
345
00:29:26,850 --> 00:29:29,853
He is.
346
00:29:32,731 --> 00:29:38,403
And yet the victory goes to you,
Mr. Royale Hughes.
347
00:29:50,749 --> 00:29:53,252
I wanna thank Camden and Margarite
for having us all over.
348
00:29:54,253 --> 00:29:58,131
We have made great progress at Cedar Cove.
349
00:29:58,131 --> 00:30:00,092
We have two African American teachers,
350
00:30:00,092 --> 00:30:02,886
one Latinx teacher,
and an Asian American teacher.
351
00:30:02,886 --> 00:30:05,138
We have a African American
athletics director,
352
00:30:05,138 --> 00:30:07,599
a African American basketball coach,
353
00:30:07,599 --> 00:30:10,644
and a African American
diversity and inclusion counselor.
354
00:30:10,644 --> 00:30:14,940
When my daughter started as a freshman, we
didn't have one African American teacher.
355
00:30:15,482 --> 00:30:18,652
In fact, we didn't have a Spanish teacher
teaching Spanish.
356
00:30:22,364 --> 00:30:26,910
But now, we must continue to be leaders
for our children in the community.
357
00:30:27,536 --> 00:30:31,456
And unfortunately, that means we must talk
about our four basketball players
358
00:30:31,456 --> 00:30:33,375
who have confessed to criminal activity.
359
00:30:33,375 --> 00:30:34,793
The Cedar Cove Four.
360
00:30:35,586 --> 00:30:38,297
Well, hold on, Nina.
They weren't selling drugs.
361
00:30:39,089 --> 00:30:40,883
They were, as I understand it,
362
00:30:41,383 --> 00:30:45,179
14 years old, defending a young lady
who was being abused.
363
00:30:45,179 --> 00:30:47,389
But, they attacked him in an alley.
364
00:30:47,389 --> 00:30:49,349
They nearly beat the man to death,
365
00:30:49,349 --> 00:30:52,895
and Jenna Carson wants us
to write letters on their behalf.
366
00:30:52,895 --> 00:30:57,191
I mean, have you seen the video?
It's quite disturbing. What--
367
00:31:03,155 --> 00:31:06,283
Now I know why I'm always too busy
to come to your meetings.
368
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,912
You don't know anything about my son.
369
00:31:09,912 --> 00:31:14,833
No one was looking to offend you, Jenna.
People were just talking freely.
370
00:31:15,918 --> 00:31:20,047
I'd love to talk freely
to you bougie-ass Jack and Jill wannabes.
371
00:31:20,714 --> 00:31:24,510
Jace Carson is a B-plus student.
372
00:31:25,677 --> 00:31:30,557
He goes to practice after school
and he practices after practice,
373
00:31:30,557 --> 00:31:31,975
and he still has to study.
374
00:31:32,559 --> 00:31:36,480
And it's not just his work ethic
that makes him a damn good human being,
375
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:37,564
it's his heart.
376
00:31:38,899 --> 00:31:41,318
And his love for his friends.
377
00:31:42,486 --> 00:31:47,699
You have no damn idea what he's been
through in his life to be where he's at.
378
00:31:48,867 --> 00:31:51,954
You can talk about his teammate
all you want.
379
00:31:51,954 --> 00:31:56,083
You can talk about him all you want.
You can talk about me all you want.
380
00:31:57,334 --> 00:32:00,921
And while you at it,
you highfalutin brothers and sisters,
381
00:32:00,921 --> 00:32:03,507
don't forget to kiss my Black ass.
382
00:32:03,507 --> 00:32:05,717
Jenna, hold on. Hold up. Hold-- Jenna.
383
00:32:05,717 --> 00:32:07,845
- Jenna, hold on. Come on. Hold up.
- She didn't have to go there.
384
00:32:08,804 --> 00:32:09,638
Hold on.
385
00:32:09,638 --> 00:32:10,722
You ain't no better than the rest of them.
386
00:32:10,722 --> 00:32:14,017
Wait. Hold on, sister. There's no need
for you to get so riled up.
387
00:32:14,017 --> 00:32:14,977
Excuse me?
388
00:32:15,686 --> 00:32:18,772
We're all here because we wanna
do right by our kids.
389
00:32:19,439 --> 00:32:22,818
Okay? Believe it or not,
I care about everyone's kids.
390
00:32:23,819 --> 00:32:25,028
I care about your kid.
391
00:32:26,530 --> 00:32:31,118
He's been good to my son.
He's looked out for CJ.
392
00:32:32,786 --> 00:32:34,371
Thank you. I appreciate that.
393
00:32:34,872 --> 00:32:35,873
Yeah.
394
00:32:36,915 --> 00:32:40,252
Now, unfortunately,
because of everything that's transpired,
395
00:32:42,045 --> 00:32:46,091
I don't think it'll be likely that things
will work out for him at Cedar Cove.
396
00:32:46,091 --> 00:32:49,428
But just let me make a couple calls,
397
00:32:50,053 --> 00:32:54,057
see if I can help him to land
somewhere that's gonna be a good fit.
398
00:34:05,087 --> 00:34:06,255
Hey, Grandma.
399
00:34:07,214 --> 00:34:09,091
Did you send the highlight reel
to the coach?
400
00:34:09,757 --> 00:34:11,176
And Shaun put a track to it?
401
00:34:11,969 --> 00:34:15,013
No cussing, right? I don't want
no cussing and shit on my highlight reel.
402
00:34:15,931 --> 00:34:16,931
Yes, ma'am.
403
00:34:18,641 --> 00:34:19,685
I'll watch my mouth.
404
00:34:22,396 --> 00:34:23,688
After today's game,
405
00:34:24,982 --> 00:34:27,943
we're gonna be able to tell him
I lit up Swagger.
406
00:34:28,569 --> 00:34:31,237
I will. Love you too.
407
00:34:41,123 --> 00:34:44,126
Y'all ready to run me that?
408
00:34:44,126 --> 00:34:46,210
Man, y'all going to get y'all asses beat.
409
00:34:46,210 --> 00:34:47,629
Put some money on it then.
410
00:34:47,629 --> 00:34:51,842
I bet you a bag of Flaming Hots
and a case of Oreos, y'all lose.
411
00:34:52,801 --> 00:34:53,802
Nah, man.
412
00:34:53,802 --> 00:34:57,222
See, how about we bet
a week's worth of phone time?
413
00:34:57,890 --> 00:35:02,102
If we win, y'all transfer
that money into my account.
414
00:35:02,769 --> 00:35:06,231
If y'all win, I'll do the same.
415
00:35:06,899 --> 00:35:08,358
Aight, bet.
416
00:35:08,942 --> 00:35:10,861
It's done.
417
00:35:20,871 --> 00:35:21,872
What do you think?
418
00:35:26,376 --> 00:35:27,377
It's beautiful.
419
00:35:28,003 --> 00:35:29,171
It's gonna rain.
420
00:35:32,049 --> 00:35:33,133
It looks sunny, man.
421
00:35:34,218 --> 00:35:38,889
I love the rain. Rain washes it away,
and we get to start all over again.
422
00:35:44,728 --> 00:35:46,230
It was nice to meet you, Nico.
423
00:35:56,073 --> 00:35:58,992
You know, the last couple of schools
we had come over,
424
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:01,161
their coaches and Mr. Carlos
actually swapped.
425
00:36:01,745 --> 00:36:02,871
What you saying?
426
00:36:02,871 --> 00:36:05,040
Well, their coaches would take on MYF,
427
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,959
and Mr. Carlos would take on the visitors.
428
00:36:06,959 --> 00:36:09,461
It gives my guys an opportunity
to hear another voice.
429
00:36:09,962 --> 00:36:11,755
And also, it gives Swagger an opportunity
430
00:36:11,755 --> 00:36:13,215
to be coached by a living legend.
431
00:36:15,050 --> 00:36:15,884
Let's do it.
432
00:36:15,884 --> 00:36:17,719
- Right on, bro.
- All right. Let's go then.
433
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:18,971
All right, Ikey. Let's go.
434
00:36:20,180 --> 00:36:21,890
- You ready?
- It's going down right now.
435
00:36:22,933 --> 00:36:24,226
Okay.
436
00:36:24,226 --> 00:36:25,310
Get back.
437
00:36:29,523 --> 00:36:30,774
- What up, bro?
- Good to see you, dog.
438
00:36:30,774 --> 00:36:31,900
- Yeah.
- Hey, Vince. What's up?
439
00:36:31,900 --> 00:36:32,818
Bros.
440
00:36:34,027 --> 00:36:36,697
- What's up, bruh? Good to see you, bruh.
- It's great to see you, bro.
441
00:36:36,697 --> 00:36:38,073
Good. What's up, man?
442
00:36:39,199 --> 00:36:41,368
- Hey. What's good, Vince?
- Coming for you, bro.
443
00:36:41,869 --> 00:36:42,870
We'll see.
444
00:37:05,225 --> 00:37:06,602
Hey, yo, Mus.
445
00:37:06,602 --> 00:37:08,061
I got you. Let's get it.
446
00:37:15,819 --> 00:37:16,862
Way too easy.
447
00:37:21,116 --> 00:37:24,077
Man, I've been waiting for this all week.
448
00:37:24,077 --> 00:37:25,162
Oh, yeah?
449
00:37:25,662 --> 00:37:26,788
Jace Carson.
450
00:37:26,788 --> 00:37:27,873
Deandre Wright.
451
00:37:28,916 --> 00:37:29,917
It's been, like, what,
452
00:37:30,709 --> 00:37:32,961
three years since we last played
on the ABO circuit together?
453
00:37:32,961 --> 00:37:35,881
Yeah, something like that.
You were the second best dude out there.
454
00:37:37,966 --> 00:37:38,800
Crazy.
455
00:37:40,552 --> 00:37:41,887
I'm coming for you today.
456
00:37:43,180 --> 00:37:44,515
I'm right here.
457
00:37:44,515 --> 00:37:45,599
Aight.
458
00:37:55,150 --> 00:37:56,777
- You ready?
- I was born for this.
459
00:37:56,777 --> 00:37:58,153
- Black going this way.
- Let's go!
460
00:37:58,153 --> 00:37:59,404
White go this way.
461
00:38:01,698 --> 00:38:02,699
Hope you ready.
462
00:38:03,325 --> 00:38:04,826
- Hope you ready.
- Hey, come on.
463
00:38:07,412 --> 00:38:08,413
Lock that up!
464
00:38:11,792 --> 00:38:12,876
I'm different, Jace.
465
00:38:12,876 --> 00:38:14,461
You know that.
466
00:38:14,461 --> 00:38:15,796
Let's go. We up.
467
00:38:19,424 --> 00:38:21,844
- Come here, little bro.
- Communicate, communicate!
468
00:38:21,844 --> 00:38:22,761
Excuse me.
469
00:38:22,761 --> 00:38:24,972
- Swing! Watch the swing.
- Cook him, Jace!
470
00:38:24,972 --> 00:38:26,056
Cook him.
471
00:38:27,850 --> 00:38:29,518
{\an8}Jace, let's go. Let's move.
472
00:38:29,518 --> 00:38:32,104
{\an8}Listen. You don't weigh enough.
473
00:38:33,188 --> 00:38:34,147
Ball.
474
00:38:35,107 --> 00:38:36,775
Talk to each other.
475
00:38:36,775 --> 00:38:39,278
- Yeah, Vince!
- Let's go!
476
00:38:41,363 --> 00:38:42,573
Let's go, baby.
477
00:39:00,716 --> 00:39:02,467
Come on, y'all.
478
00:39:02,467 --> 00:39:03,594
My bad.
479
00:39:04,344 --> 00:39:05,596
Yeah, boy.
480
00:39:13,896 --> 00:39:15,522
Take your shot right here.
481
00:39:46,428 --> 00:39:48,347
Hey, hey, hey. Talk to each other.
482
00:39:48,347 --> 00:39:50,265
You know, one good thing about
being in this place?
483
00:39:52,142 --> 00:39:53,810
- What?
- I get my old number back.
484
00:39:53,810 --> 00:39:54,895
You got to show me.
485
00:39:59,566 --> 00:40:01,235
Come on! Let's go!
486
00:40:25,467 --> 00:40:27,636
Hey, you about to collect on that bet.
487
00:41:00,669 --> 00:41:03,505
Let's go. Feed the big man.
Feed the big man down low!
488
00:41:03,505 --> 00:41:05,215
- Feed him.
- Come on, Pop.
489
00:41:07,176 --> 00:41:08,510
Let's go, guys!
490
00:41:13,974 --> 00:41:17,477
Let's go!
491
00:41:17,978 --> 00:41:20,689
Move!
492
00:41:26,778 --> 00:41:29,531
Gotta work that defense down below.
Better defense.
493
00:41:29,531 --> 00:41:31,325
Hey, yo! Slide up.
494
00:41:31,325 --> 00:41:33,160
- Hop to it.
- I'm right here.
495
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,495
- Watch 21!
- Come on! Energy!
496
00:41:35,495 --> 00:41:36,914
Eyes on 21!
497
00:41:43,837 --> 00:41:46,215
Will the real "My bad" please stand up?
498
00:41:46,215 --> 00:41:48,550
Don't lose focus.
499
00:41:49,384 --> 00:41:50,802
Hey, lock up, y'all!
500
00:42:11,865 --> 00:42:14,159
Five seconds!
501
00:42:14,743 --> 00:42:15,953
Drew, wait.
502
00:42:17,621 --> 00:42:19,540
- Hey, look here. Look here.
- Lock down D.
503
00:42:19,540 --> 00:42:21,708
Go right here! Lock down D!
504
00:42:21,708 --> 00:42:23,585
- Get back, get back.
- Get it!
505
00:42:27,548 --> 00:42:28,841
{\an8}- Let's go!
- We do this.
506
00:42:28,841 --> 00:42:30,509
{\an8}Swagger win.
507
00:42:31,718 --> 00:42:32,886
{\an8}We promised you a showdown.
508
00:42:32,886 --> 00:42:35,556
You did great, baby. You did great.
All right.
509
00:42:38,934 --> 00:42:39,935
Let's go.
510
00:42:40,727 --> 00:42:42,354
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
511
00:42:49,653 --> 00:42:50,821
Great job.
512
00:42:51,905 --> 00:42:53,574
Yes, sir, 21.
513
00:42:54,199 --> 00:42:56,034
What are we doing?
514
00:42:56,994 --> 00:42:58,787
We supposed to make a statement!
515
00:42:58,787 --> 00:43:00,455
This is bullshit!
516
00:43:00,455 --> 00:43:02,958
- Hey. Chill.
- This was our chance!
517
00:43:02,958 --> 00:43:04,418
- This was our chance.
- Damn.
518
00:43:04,418 --> 00:43:05,878
Relax. I got him.
519
00:43:05,878 --> 00:43:08,672
- Why y'all walking up on me, man? Back up.
- Bruh, chill. Yo, these my brothers, man.
520
00:43:08,672 --> 00:43:10,507
- These my brothers.
- Hey, tighten up, bruh. You good.
521
00:43:10,507 --> 00:43:13,260
Me and you just went toe-to-toe.
You that guy.
522
00:43:14,928 --> 00:43:16,138
- Good, bro.
- Aight.
523
00:43:18,932 --> 00:43:20,684
Y'all good. I got y'all. Come on.
524
00:43:20,684 --> 00:43:22,394
Stay in it.
525
00:43:23,061 --> 00:43:25,647
Well, guys, I want you to know
it's been a fantastic weekend.
526
00:43:25,647 --> 00:43:27,566
You guys played a hell of a game.
527
00:43:27,566 --> 00:43:31,612
And what I got out of it, no matter
was you incarcerated or not,
528
00:43:32,279 --> 00:43:33,280
we are one.
529
00:43:33,906 --> 00:43:35,616
We are free in our minds and our hearts.
530
00:43:35,616 --> 00:43:38,285
They asked me how come I don't
take a picture putting my fist up,
531
00:43:38,285 --> 00:43:40,370
and I tell them because I am the fist.
532
00:43:41,163 --> 00:43:42,998
I'm bestowing that upon you,
533
00:43:42,998 --> 00:43:45,417
each and every one of you players
here today.
534
00:43:45,417 --> 00:43:49,880
You are now the fist. Carry it strong.
Be proud of it.
535
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:54,635
Remember, fist means unification.
Togetherness. Thank you.
536
00:44:00,891 --> 00:44:01,934
Let's raise 'em up.
537
00:45:10,085 --> 00:45:11,545
Right. This what we doing?
538
00:45:11,545 --> 00:45:13,422
- Go ahead, boy. Go ahead.
- Come on, Mus.
539
00:45:13,422 --> 00:45:15,632
All right, I got y'all. Listen.
540
00:45:16,383 --> 00:45:17,759
Got bars just like the pen
541
00:45:17,759 --> 00:45:20,012
The spot where they're holding us down
The Black and the brown
542
00:45:20,012 --> 00:45:22,306
They profiting off our young men
Bodies in chains
543
00:45:22,306 --> 00:45:23,640
But brain, I let it run free
544
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:24,975
Time's ticking
I'm watching Big Ben
545
00:45:24,975 --> 00:45:27,436
'Cause when I get out about
Ain't worry about clout
546
00:45:27,436 --> 00:45:29,563
Gon' make me a million and ten
Raising the bar
547
00:45:29,563 --> 00:45:32,149
We setting the trend
Said make me a million and ten
548
00:45:32,149 --> 00:45:34,735
In the meantime
Between time I do rhyme
549
00:45:34,735 --> 00:45:35,819
I'm with my brothers and them
550
00:45:35,819 --> 00:45:38,155
Allah got us, don dadas
Young ballers
551
00:45:38,155 --> 00:45:39,531
We practicing teachings of Zen
552
00:45:39,531 --> 00:45:41,867
Meditate, never hate
No debate
553
00:45:41,867 --> 00:45:43,410
Our swagger gon' ring out again
554
00:45:43,410 --> 00:45:46,288
Our swagger gon' ring out again
Our swagger gon' ring out again
555
00:45:46,288 --> 00:45:48,540
- Our swagger gon' ring out again
- Hold on. Yo.
556
00:45:48,540 --> 00:45:50,167
Start a beat for me real quick.
557
00:45:51,335 --> 00:45:54,463
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
558
00:45:54,463 --> 00:45:56,798
Today I read a note
It filled my heart with warm pleasure
559
00:45:56,798 --> 00:45:58,759
Seven pounds, six ounces
Measures my born treasure
560
00:45:58,759 --> 00:46:01,470
I thought I knew happiness
But I'm informed better
561
00:46:01,470 --> 00:46:04,223
God gifted me a son
Now I'm blessed forever
562
00:46:04,223 --> 00:46:06,391
I'm on the straight and narrow now, man
This is it
563
00:46:06,391 --> 00:46:08,810
MJ lifestyle, smooth criminal bullshit
564
00:46:08,810 --> 00:46:10,771
I'll shoot my shot
A new life with a full clip
565
00:46:10,771 --> 00:46:13,190
That's the target, me
This bull's-eye is on it
566
00:46:19,363 --> 00:46:21,281
Tiffany, talk to me. What's the word?
567
00:46:21,281 --> 00:46:24,368
Hey, I said I'd call you when
we're done. We're on a break right now.
568
00:46:24,368 --> 00:46:27,162
Okay, but what is
the governing board saying?
569
00:46:27,162 --> 00:46:30,791
I mean, you guys do realize that
when Crystal Jarrett went on her IG Live,
570
00:46:30,791 --> 00:46:33,752
she got one million viewers, right?
One million.
571
00:46:33,752 --> 00:46:36,797
Not to mention the turnout that they had
at the Hilltop Central game.
572
00:46:36,797 --> 00:46:40,676
A whole network of Black students
from all across the DMV showed up.
573
00:46:40,676 --> 00:46:43,887
The DA's office has been flooded
with letters
574
00:46:43,887 --> 00:46:45,931
in support of Jace Carson
and his teammates.
575
00:46:45,931 --> 00:46:49,268
Now, you guys don't wanna be
on the wrong side of this, do you?
576
00:46:50,060 --> 00:46:53,272
Dr. Emory Lawson
seems to think you and him are aligned.
577
00:46:53,814 --> 00:46:56,400
Well, it's safer for him to think that.
578
00:46:58,318 --> 00:47:01,196
Look, Tiff, you know me, aight?
579
00:47:01,196 --> 00:47:03,657
You know I'm not trying to cross
any lines here, but--
580
00:47:03,657 --> 00:47:07,703
Then don't. Like I said, when
we have a ruling, I will let you know.
581
00:47:08,328 --> 00:47:09,329
Tiff--
582
00:47:16,712 --> 00:47:18,088
It's pretty good, man.
583
00:47:18,088 --> 00:47:20,174
Yeah, that's because you don't
got to eat it every day.
584
00:47:20,674 --> 00:47:23,927
Right. That's why we got this.
585
00:47:23,927 --> 00:47:26,555
- Is that Mumbo sauce?
- You know it.
586
00:47:26,555 --> 00:47:30,267
You mix a little bit of ketchup,
barbecue sauce, hot sauce and applesauce.
587
00:47:30,976 --> 00:47:33,228
- Then boom, Mumbo on deck.
- Nah.
588
00:47:33,854 --> 00:47:35,355
- Bruh, you lunching.
- Nah.
589
00:47:35,355 --> 00:47:37,357
- Ain't no way. Hold on.
- I'm trying to tell you.
590
00:47:37,357 --> 00:47:39,276
- That boy lunching.
- Crazy.
591
00:47:39,943 --> 00:47:41,278
Little bit of that.
592
00:47:41,278 --> 00:47:42,696
Can't forget the applesauce.
593
00:47:43,947 --> 00:47:45,199
Yo.
594
00:47:47,910 --> 00:47:49,244
Aight, let me see.
595
00:47:55,167 --> 00:47:56,960
- Yeah.
- Nah.
596
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,463
Yo, yo, no cap.
This tastes just like the carryout.
597
00:47:59,463 --> 00:48:01,173
- Yo! Yeah!
- Let me see.
598
00:48:01,173 --> 00:48:03,050
Yo. Get some of this.
599
00:48:03,050 --> 00:48:04,343
Yo, he ain't lying!
600
00:48:09,431 --> 00:48:10,432
Vince Charles.
601
00:48:19,024 --> 00:48:20,150
You holding up?
602
00:48:21,235 --> 00:48:24,738
Yeah. Listen, I know I let you down, man.
603
00:48:24,738 --> 00:48:26,949
I mean, I know I let everybody down.
604
00:48:28,450 --> 00:48:30,369
I didn't even want you guys
to find me here, to be honest.
605
00:48:30,369 --> 00:48:34,414
Vince, I feel like I let you down.
606
00:48:34,414 --> 00:48:36,416
I was on some dumb shit, Coach.
607
00:48:36,959 --> 00:48:39,461
We were broke. Look, it was me and my f--
608
00:48:39,461 --> 00:48:44,883
Listen, you don't
have to explain none of that to me.
609
00:48:45,717 --> 00:48:48,804
- Okay?
- Aight.
610
00:48:52,266 --> 00:48:53,642
How much longer are you in here?
611
00:48:55,018 --> 00:48:56,311
Three more months.
612
00:48:56,311 --> 00:48:59,857
When I turn 18,
they transfer me to Patuxent.
613
00:49:00,899 --> 00:49:02,401
Then I gotta do another year there.
614
00:49:04,653 --> 00:49:07,739
I mean, well, look, don't freeze
your coach out,
615
00:49:07,739 --> 00:49:09,157
you know.
616
00:49:09,157 --> 00:49:11,618
I'ma write you,
and your ass better write me back.
617
00:49:12,202 --> 00:49:13,161
Yeah.
618
00:49:13,161 --> 00:49:14,454
Listen, Vince,
619
00:49:16,164 --> 00:49:17,165
I know you.
620
00:49:18,876 --> 00:49:21,962
And you are not your biggest mistake.
621
00:49:23,422 --> 00:49:28,969
Damn, Coach. That really means something.
622
00:49:28,969 --> 00:49:30,095
I'm glad.
623
00:49:36,518 --> 00:49:37,561
All right.
624
00:49:37,561 --> 00:49:40,147
- I got about six more months.
- Aight, bet.
625
00:49:40,147 --> 00:49:41,607
I mean, you already got it,
626
00:49:41,607 --> 00:49:45,485
but you can use this last bit of time
to just train, train, train.
627
00:49:45,485 --> 00:49:47,863
- By the time you out of here...
- Nah.
628
00:49:48,488 --> 00:49:50,157
My basketball days, man.
629
00:49:51,825 --> 00:49:54,494
Look, I don't do well with stress.
630
00:49:55,037 --> 00:49:57,789
Looks like you handled all the stress
out there today pretty well.
631
00:49:57,789 --> 00:50:00,167
Man, that? Man, that was light work.
632
00:50:00,876 --> 00:50:02,044
You shouldn't play with me.
633
00:50:02,711 --> 00:50:03,795
He called us light work.
634
00:50:04,796 --> 00:50:06,715
Y'all ever heard of South Plains College?
635
00:50:07,883 --> 00:50:11,345
That's a juco in Texas.
Got some good things going on over there.
636
00:50:11,845 --> 00:50:13,972
They wanna take a look at me
after I get out.
637
00:50:14,556 --> 00:50:16,058
That's what's up. And congrats on that.
638
00:50:16,058 --> 00:50:19,520
Thank you.
You think y'all can put in a word?
639
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:23,524
With your hops and your nasty defense?
You got my word.
640
00:50:24,858 --> 00:50:29,988
Hey, team. Y'all gonna put
a dollar in my phone account?
641
00:50:30,614 --> 00:50:31,448
Here you go.
642
00:50:31,448 --> 00:50:32,741
Always begging for some shit.
643
00:50:32,741 --> 00:50:34,159
I'm for real.
644
00:50:34,159 --> 00:50:36,828
I bet a week's worth
of calls on this game.
645
00:50:37,329 --> 00:50:38,872
I can't not call my family for a week.
646
00:50:39,831 --> 00:50:41,333
And what does that have to do with us?
647
00:50:41,333 --> 00:50:44,378
Everything. What you mean?
I got into this by losing.
648
00:50:44,378 --> 00:50:46,588
Hey, man,
I'll put three dollars on there, bro.
649
00:50:47,214 --> 00:50:48,632
Thanks, D.
650
00:50:49,299 --> 00:50:51,969
Hey, Vince, what about you?
651
00:50:53,971 --> 00:50:57,599
I gotta check my account,
make sure my mom's wire came through.
652
00:50:57,599 --> 00:50:58,684
Sergeant Hampton?
653
00:50:59,726 --> 00:51:03,355
Hypothetically, if a visitor wanted
to put some money on someone's account
654
00:51:03,355 --> 00:51:06,149
so they could use the phone,
is that possible?
655
00:51:06,900 --> 00:51:09,194
Hypothetically, yes.
656
00:51:09,194 --> 00:51:12,155
On the way out,
visitors can stop by account services.
657
00:51:14,074 --> 00:51:15,450
It's a bug in my food.
658
00:51:16,201 --> 00:51:19,037
Who put that shit in there, huh?
Who did it?
659
00:51:19,037 --> 00:51:20,205
- Yo, D, chill.
- Relax, man.
660
00:51:20,205 --> 00:51:22,833
- We can get you another tray.
- Man, I'm not even hungry anymore.
661
00:51:22,833 --> 00:51:25,294
You know,
that's probably what they wanted too.
662
00:51:25,294 --> 00:51:27,796
- Have me starve after the game.
- Hey.
663
00:51:28,839 --> 00:51:31,466
Man, that's some straight up bullshit.
664
00:51:31,466 --> 00:51:33,177
- Hey!
- Yo, relax.
665
00:51:33,177 --> 00:51:34,094
- Come on.
- What?
666
00:51:34,094 --> 00:51:36,305
- Deandre, sit down.
- They always messing with me in here!
667
00:51:37,055 --> 00:51:40,058
- Why is that?
- Deandre, calm down.
668
00:51:40,058 --> 00:51:42,978
What-- Man, let me go. Let-- Get off me.
669
00:51:42,978 --> 00:51:45,397
- No. What are you doing?
- Yo! What are you doing?
670
00:51:45,397 --> 00:51:48,025
- That's not necessary. Let him go.
- Back up. This is for his own protection.
671
00:51:48,025 --> 00:51:50,277
- This some bullshit.
- Jace, that's enough!
672
00:51:52,112 --> 00:51:52,988
Man.
673
00:51:56,241 --> 00:51:57,659
Don't let them do this to you.
674
00:51:59,286 --> 00:52:01,663
Don't let them take your heart from you,
Jace Carson.
675
00:52:03,123 --> 00:52:06,793
If they think they can... they will!
676
00:52:09,338 --> 00:52:11,965
They've been putting me
on medication since I was 12.
677
00:52:13,759 --> 00:52:15,135
But I keep fighting.
678
00:52:16,303 --> 00:52:18,263
I keep fighting!
679
00:52:26,188 --> 00:52:27,189
Jace.
680
00:52:47,626 --> 00:52:49,920
This is not the way
I hoped the day would end.
681
00:52:51,088 --> 00:52:54,174
I wanna thank you guys.
Appreciate what you did.
682
00:52:55,342 --> 00:52:57,719
More than you'll ever know. Thank you.
683
00:53:36,466 --> 00:53:38,427
In this room right here
to your right, son.
684
00:53:57,196 --> 00:53:58,197
Pop.
685
00:54:01,783 --> 00:54:02,784
Hey.
686
00:54:06,997 --> 00:54:07,998
I...
687
00:54:10,834 --> 00:54:14,129
I haven't been
wearing my kufi like I used to do.
688
00:54:14,129 --> 00:54:19,051
I noticed. But you don't
gotta rock a kufi to be a good Muslim.
689
00:54:22,095 --> 00:54:23,180
I know. It's just...
690
00:54:25,807 --> 00:54:27,935
after everything that happened...
691
00:54:30,646 --> 00:54:32,189
I didn't know what I believed.
692
00:54:33,482 --> 00:54:34,483
I get it.
693
00:54:39,112 --> 00:54:44,409
You know, you told me
that I was here for a reason.
694
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:46,161
Yes.
695
00:54:46,912 --> 00:54:49,081
You told me I can make a difference.
696
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:54,294
And if I lose faith in that?
697
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:56,338
We lose everything.
698
00:54:59,216 --> 00:55:00,968
I really wanna make dua right now.
699
00:55:04,137 --> 00:55:05,138
Me too, Son.
700
00:55:10,269 --> 00:55:11,645
Bismillah.
701
00:55:13,272 --> 00:55:14,273
Bismillah.
702
00:55:20,696 --> 00:55:23,532
We praise you, Allah.
We beseech you, Allah.
703
00:56:00,527 --> 00:56:01,528
You okay?
704
00:56:05,782 --> 00:56:06,783
I just felt rain.
705
00:56:15,709 --> 00:56:16,710
Let's hit the road.
706
00:56:29,556 --> 00:56:30,557
Hello.
707
00:56:34,728 --> 00:56:35,729
You sure?
708
00:56:37,564 --> 00:56:38,857
Hold on.
709
00:56:43,570 --> 00:56:46,365
Okay, can you text that to me?
710
00:56:47,866 --> 00:56:49,201
All right.
711
00:56:52,955 --> 00:56:54,915
I just got off the phone
with Alonzo Powers.
712
00:56:54,915 --> 00:56:59,127
He connected with some of your parents,
and the DA decided not to charge you.
713
00:57:01,338 --> 00:57:04,216
They're gonna want community service
714
00:57:04,216 --> 00:57:06,009
but there's no jail time.
715
00:57:07,302 --> 00:57:11,723
And "the Maryland Unified Athletic Council
716
00:57:11,723 --> 00:57:14,059
has suspended you
from all basketball endeavors."
717
00:57:15,894 --> 00:57:19,690
"However,
if you apologize for your actions...
718
00:57:21,942 --> 00:57:23,527
you'll be immediately reinstated."
719
00:57:28,532 --> 00:57:29,533
You're free.
720
00:57:41,628 --> 00:57:42,629
Let's go home.
721
00:58:04,943 --> 00:58:07,863
Let's go!
722
00:58:10,824 --> 00:58:13,493
Yeah, it's raining! Wash it all away!
723
00:58:13,493 --> 00:58:18,373
Wash it all away! It's raining! Let's go!
724
00:58:18,373 --> 00:58:20,459
- Okay, Nico. Let's go.
- Let's go!
725
00:58:22,544 --> 00:58:26,548
Let's go! Yeah!
