All language subtitles for David.Makes.Man.S01E06_English

There's a school dance
tomorrow night?

Yes, ma'am.

You gotta take somebody.

I'm applying to
New World for dance.

David is gonna go to Hurston.

I know that's what he'd like.

Why are you limping?

Jay, I need to get back to work.

-What you say?
-[Gloria] I fell.

Couldn't get nobody
to take over my shift.

Got fired.

Do not worry, but I'm going
straight to unemployment

first thing in the morning.

You did good.
Brought that pharmo
to The 'Ville.

Proving your loyalty
like you did?

No disrespect, but
I'm not interested.

You already in the game, Dai.

[Sky] My boy down there,

more like my little
brother than my son.

I fuck everything up.

Well, almost everything.

-You know he got this for me.
-What happened?

I was racin'. I still remember
the look on my dad's face
when he found out.

I know Sky took you under
his wing, tried to play daddy,

but that kind of mad
he only reserved for me.

[Sky] This life's a choice, Dai.

Some are given everything
and still choose this life.

[Raynan] Nova OG, just come in.

And the taste's on-top.
Shit's smooth.

No Addy or Molly?

Hell yeah, I got that.

How much?

Hold tight.

Comin' up on it next week.

-Okay, whatever.
-[bell ringing]

Yo, Alana,

what's good?

[Sky] Make no mistake Dai,
this life is a choice.

[upbeat music playing]

[Sky] Some choose this life
and get lost in it,

floatin' around like
they lost at sea.

You been parkin'
under slash pine.

That's why you got all
them dots on your hood.

It's sap.

Shit bakes in,
you can't get it out.

Shit, didn't know.

-Sorry.
-It's your car.

Yo, why don't you have Shinobi

just throw the shit down the
jit and have 'em serve it?

You think that will be better?

Yeah.

It would damn sure be quicker

than havin' all of the,
hands touchin' it.

Metro ain't about
to trip on no little kid.

Quicker don't mean smarter.

Throwin' it down makes
it easier to track.

You wanna keep it movin',
keep 'em guessing.

-Yeah but it's--
-Why don't you worry

about keepin' your face
and this car clean?

[laughing]

Yo, who you tryin' to be?

[laughing]

Don't force nothin', Raynan.

People smell that shit.

Okay.

Hey if this were my car,

I'd keep it nice.

Yeah no, thank you for it, Doc.

I will, for real.

Hey, we gonna sit here all day?

[Sky]
Once you make a choice Dai,

you gotta live with it.

Own it.

Believe it.

Even get others to believe it.

But you can't fool everybody.

[theme music playing]

What are my hobbies
outside of school?

Well, sports,
I mean football really.

Being part of a team
I think builds character.

Yeah, it, um,
[clears throat]

it teaches structure
and discipline

which I think I can apply
for my whole entire life.

Sports can be a valuable
tool and learning structure.

That's very true, Jesse.

At Hurston, structure is a key
component of our curriculum.

The adjustment to living
on campus six days a week

and the demands of our
programs is not an easy one.

It's not for everyone.

In addition to your course load,

extra curricular
activities are an important

part of our academic platform.

We believe they not
only build character but,

give you an edge in
the evaluation process

by the universities
you'll be applying to.

What about you, Seren?

What are your interests
outside the classroom?

Probably music.

It's sort of in
my blood I guess.

My mom's a piano teacher.

-Oh, so you play piano?
-No, I sing.

Mostly in the church choir.

Is that a fact?

So does my nephew.

He's a tenor, how about you?

-I'm a baritone.
-Ah, excellent.

What church do you and
your family attend?

We might know people in common.

[Sky] Some are given everything
and don't choose anything.

You gotta choose or you drown.

Seren's real good.

Sings like an angel.
You should hear him.

Well, I'd like to have
that opportunity sometime.

Yeah, you would like it.

Aren't you singin' next Sunday?

Yeah.

So, how about you, David?

How do you spend your time
when you're not in school?

As far as hobbies go,
not sure I've had

a lot of time for them.

My mama,
she works everyday in a diner

over in Florida City.

So, she's not around
a whole lot.

Most days it's just
me and my brother JG.

Well, I have to look after him.
He's nine.

That's a lot on your plate.

It must be quite a challenge.

Yes.

It is, ma'am,
but I love my little brother

and caring for him has
taught me responsibility,

but my mama, she had things
a little backwards.

Like, she thinks, if she works
extra hours at the diner,

we could afford to
move closer to Hurston

and that would gain me favor.

But if I told her no,
it has nothing to do with that.

Getting into Hurston's
about being the best.

No matter where you live,
it's about excellence

and being comfortable in
a structured disciplined life.

And I think, from the
challenges I've come from,

I have to work harder
to be excellent,

to be there 24/7.

It's in me, it's who I am.

I do understand,

and thank you
for your candor, David.

-Thank you.
-Thanks.

Next in line.

Social security card.

My number's right
there on the form.

We can't file
without your card.

I just told you I wrote the
number on that application,

-why would I need my card?
-For proof ma'am.

You need your
actual card for processing.

Oh, come on.

I don't even know
where my card is.

-And my rent--
-All right,

you need to step aside,
get your card,

and come back for processing.
Next.

There's gotta be someway
you can look it up

and make a copy,
I've been here for hours.

We'll process you when
you bring in your card.

That's the way it works.

Next.

-Willy D!
-[JG] He's garbage.

[girl]
Shut up JG, throw the ball.

Hey, I see you J, and still
stuntin' in them new shoes.

Huh, little man?

Hey, let me hold 'em
for a second.

Get your own, Ray.

[boy] Sup, Raynan?

Oh, whoa!

What's good today, Mrs. Glo?

Not a whole lot.

There's always
somethin', ain't it?

You have a fine
set of wisdom, huh?

I hate to see you like this.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

This will help.

I appreciate it,
but I'll pass.

It gets right to the pain.

Really, I'm fine,
thanks though.

I only got your comfort in
mind Mrs. Glo, that's all.

Just keep it in case.

You need anything else,
let Dai know and
I could hook you up.

I got you.

Jonathan Greg, inside!

[boy] Later, JG!

Baby turn through every
page in that yellow folder.

I did!

Do it again, okay?
The card is small,

might be stuck between
two sheets, you never know.

-[woman] Hello?
-Mom it's me.

Yes.

Gloria.

-I know.
-I need a favor.

Found it!

No baby,
that's old from the DMV.

Mom, I need you to see if
my social security card

is there at your place.
I can't find it.

How are the grand babies?

Huh, not baby's, they fine.

Did you hear me about the card?

-I did.
-Can you look?

I still have David's present.

Yes, we need to
come over, I know.

Do you think you could
look for the card please?

I wouldn't know where to begin.

-It's important.
-Found it!

No, that's junk mail, J.

But it says security!

For a god damn home
security system?

Why you cursin'
at that child like that?

You gotta look for that
card, Ma, I need it!

For what?

For unemployment.

You lost your job?

That's usually why
someone gets unemployment.

You didn't tell me
that you lost your job.

I'm telling you now, all right?

And my rent is already overdue,
so can you please look?

Well, that's just
irresponsible.

-What happened?
-It don't matter,

it happened.

You bein' willful again Gloria?

You takin' pleasures?

No, I did not.

All who have sinned
under the law

will be judged by the law.

You remember that when
you look at those baby's.

Gloria, you hear me?

Gloria!

[bell ringing]

You ever gonna tell me
about the Hurston rep?

You know I'm gonna keep asking.

It was-- it was good.

The sob story at the
projects with working mother

and the weight of
the world on you,

may have been honey for the
Hurston rep but it's debasing

and reflects poorly
on all of us.

It went good.

How was mass?

I killed it.

"Your interest in the
preservation of the manatee

is commendable, Marissa."

You know what they called them?

Called what?

-Manatees.
-No.

Sea cows.

I knew that going in 'cause
I like all that stuff

'cause it comes natural to me,
marine biology.

Good for you.

I already got a Rec letter
from Mr. Merryash.

Gonna hit up Dr. WT next.

You talk to her?

Not yet.

The deadline's in two weeks, DJ.

You need a letter,
and Dr. WT's not so easy.

You gotta work for it.
What are you waiting for?

I'll collect everyone's
papers when the time's up.

You didn't need to bring it.

Yeah, I did.

[boy]
Where you get that money, J?

[JG] Love my kicks,
don't get me wrong.

My mama, she need help keepin'
the roof over our heads.

And you know what I say,
Dai ain't around,

it's time for me
to step up, be a man.

[knocking]

Damn!
Ain't nobody work around here!

Hold up.

You want him to know who's
rent you're payin' right?

Shit. I do.

Ain't nobody's gonna know
by this chicken scratch.

Details my man,
it's all in the details.

-Team work.
-Team work.

Sometimes a man gotta do,
what a man gotta do.

Fuck!

What you doin' barefoot?

I took care of things mama.

-Took care of what?
-Rent.

What are you talkin' about,
Jonathan?

Where are your shoes?

You don't gotta worry,
I'm on it.

Okay you stop right now.

What is all this nonsense
comin' out your mouth?

Ain't nonsense, mama.

Sold my Brons to Raynan.

You what?

I paid the rent
with the proceeds.

Hold on.

You went out all by yourself
and sold your shoes?

Uh-huh.

And paid rent with it?

Uh-huh.

Johnathan!

You can't be out
there runnin' around

doin' crazy ass
things like that.

But you were sellin' stuff.

But that was for food!

Why can't I help with the rent?

Those shoes were a gift.

Your grand daddy
gave those to you, J.

And you said I ain't
even need new shoes.

And they hurt my
back heels anyway.

You just gave the
cash to Mrs. Hertrude.

Nah, I put the money in the box.

What about a receipt?

Office was closed.

Listen.

Don't be doin' anything like
that again you understand?

You got a big heart, baby.

You all heart, I give you that.

I'll let Mrs. Hertrude know.

And lets...

And lets hold tellin' Dai
for now okay?

Snitches get ditches.

You practicin' for
your interview?

No.

What you already got
your rec for Hurston?

No, I just didn't do it yet.

-Why not?
-I'm just busy, is that okay?

Whoa, why are you so jumpy?

I'm fine.
See y'all later.

Obviously he ain't fine.
Why did you bring up Hurston?

Not everything's
about you stupid!

Jonathan said he put
the money in the box!

That's on you Glo,
there's no money

in there, I just checked.

I don't got time for this shit.

My son doesn't lie!

You didn't know your son
pissed the sheets either

so maybe your son do lie.

And you ain't got no receipt.

Office was closed!
Y'all allowed to leave early.

If your boy grown enough
to pay the rent,

he need to know
to get a receipt.

You have any idea how much
money get stolen out that box?

I hear it all, Glo!
I ain't got time.

Don't be tryin' to
sell me this shit.

You know me, Mrs. Hertrude.

You know what it's
like bein' a mother.

You raised three babies.

You know what it take to
put food on the table,

keep a roof over their heads.

I just-- I'm havin' a hard time.

I'm tryin' to get
benefits since I fell

and you know what that is.

It's hard doin'
all this by myself,

raisin' these boys and
keepin' it all together.

But I'm doin' my best and
I swear, we paid the rent.

If you could do anything,
anything it'd mean the world.

Gloria, where we at?

Homestead Village.
We all poor.

We all tryin' to keep
a roof over our heads.

Rent is due Monday.
Simple as that.

Or else it's outta my hands
and you on the street.

Hold up,
you paid rent with cash?

Yeah, so?

I took care of things.

So? You can't pay in cash.

People steal from
that box all the time.

That's why we pay rent
with money orders.

I did good, Dai.

Did good? That money gone!

Where'd you get that
type of cash anyway?

I sold my shoes to Raynan.

Raynan?

How bout you ease up, Dai?

-He meant well.
-It don't matter what he meant.

You sit there and let that
happen. What was you thinkin'?

Don't forget who you
talkin' to David, hear me?

He in it now with Raynan,
which means I'm in it now.

Don't you see that?
Where were you?

Right here?

Lookin' up and down for
my social security card

tryin' to get unemployment
and find whatever I can

to pawn so we don't
end up on the street!

That's where my head is at!

Where were you, Dee?

Huh?

Out there runnin' the rips?

Rips?

What, where you gettin' that?

What happened to
puttin' everything

into gettin' to Hurston?

I'm takin' care of this end
and you takin' care of yours.

I am!

Don't lie to me.

I ain't lyin'!

So I'm the lie?

No.

What's this?

[ominous music playing]

Just some strong
aspirin somebody

gave mama for her pain, baby.

Can you do somethin' for me?

Will you call the
school and tell them

I want more sessions with
the counselor, Dr. Bree.

The school counselor?
Really, why?

I'm trying not to
worry like you said.

I just-- I need help.

Please Ma.

Just tell them that
you're okay with it.

I'll make the call.

Thank you.

Be back soon.

Dai.

I'm gonna go to a meetin' later.

Okay.

[clapping]

What the fuck you want?

He there?

Might be.

Send him out.

You the boss now?
Get up here.

Tell Raynan to come
the fuck outside!

Hey, nigga, I told you bout
shoutin' up folks whereabouts.

You think this is a game?

A'ight cool.

-Imma thump your ass.
-Eh, hold up.

Brother Dai don't wanna make
the walk, we accommodate.

[laughs]

What's up, king?

My mama on that shit
I brought here last week?

This between you and me,
stay the fuck from
my mom and JG.

Whoa, whoa.

What you high for Dai?

This ain't how Sky ran things,

ain't the way it's
gonna be run now.

My family ain't
part of this, ever.

Ain't no pressure, bruh.

Mrs. Glo and me,

we crossed paths is all.

Then little man come my way,

bought his big ass shoes
so your rent get paid.

Ain't tryin' to stir nothin'.

Just helped, Dai.

That's it.

Your people ain't my interest.

Commerce is.

Buildin' business and if
business come to me then--

-Stay away from--
-Man look,

they could either get
it from me or you.

I prefer you too.

I asked you.

I made you my offer.

Dai.

Where you goin', bruh?

What the fuck that boy
do with that money?

[upbeat foreign music playing]

[ominous music playing]

[Sky]
You gotta make a choice, Dai.

Stay or leave.

Sink or swim.

Choose now.

Dai!

[panting]

[Gloria]
You print it while I wait right?

Yes.

If I was able to
make out anything

on your birth certificate.

It's just a little frayed
is all.

Your name is illegible.

You got a U.S. passport?

A passport? No.

The license only
proves your identity.

New laws require to prove
your citizenship as well.

Look, you can read
most of my name.

There's the G, there's L.

My eight year old spilled
milk on it, but if you look
real good, it says "Young".

See? Gloria Young,
that's me, same as my license.

Legally it's unacceptable.

Look, here's my pay stub,
my social security number

is right...

there by my name.

You need a certified copy

of your original
birth certificate.

Once you submit the
form you should have it

by mail in four weeks.

But I can't wait that long.

Then check off the box
for expedited service.

For $20 it's guaranteed
to arrive in two weeks.

Where am I supposed to get $20?

I need my card today.

Hey, that's not our problem.

You heard the man,
get out the line.

I am not finished.

Yeah you are.

This ain't the day.

[computer] Now serving...

C-119 at window 14.

Ma'am.

David.

Is everything all right?

Yes, ma'am.
Sorry to bother you but,

I was wondering
if my mother called.

She was gonna okay more
sessions with Dr. Bree.

Come in, David. Sit.

-How are things at home?
-Fine.

-I was just wondering--
-Are the basics being met?

Electricity, food.

Yes.

Did you have breakfast
this morning?

I did.

Are you sure?

Yes, ma'am.

This is a safe space.

You can be honest with me.

Yeah, I know.

Telling me what's
really going on

wouldn't be a betrayal
to your mother,

I hope you know that.

Okay.

I'm here to help, not to
cast judgment on anyone.

Especially to those
who need help the most.

Principal Fallow, you annoying
as fuck, you know that?

That's true, thank you,
Principal Fallow.

Your mother did call.

I'll discuss with
Dr. Bree and I'll let you know

if I decide to authorize
further sessions.

All right, thank you.

Close the door on
your way out please.

Some days it's as if God
pushes me right up to my edge.

You got your family,
you got your job,

you got your health,
you maybe even got your sanity.

And then it all falls.

And no matter what you do,
you slippin' off.

And instead of getting
a helping hand,

you get kicked down harder.

I was about to do somethin'...

real bad.

My disease.

It was scratchin' hard at me.

But then I got myself over here.

It's when you think...

life's goin' along fine,

I'm solid.

Nothin's gonna take me down.

It happens.

They take everything.

And it's diggin' into my soul
in a way that's not bearable.

Cuttin' off my breath,
that's when I lose

my connection with God.

I find myself face
to face with the devil.

I want what he's got to offer.

I can taste it.

I'm this close to takin' a pill.

From the boss that
wants to fuck me,

and the landlord that
wants to kick me out,

and the government
that wants to screw me

out of my benefits,
and all the fuckin' long ass

days that wanna put
me in an early grave.

Even my neighborhood that
wants to steal my children

right out from under me
as they look at me in my eye.

See, if I would of
took that Oxy,

I coulda let Jay have
his way with me,

kept my job,

even gotten a few days off
to heal from my fall.

I wouldn't need no help
from public service,

no worries about my kids.

I'm an addict.

I want to check out
of life sometimes

to survive my life.

Some days it feels
like staying alive

is more important
than staying clean.

You don't need a principal's
recommendation for Hurston.

You will write me one?

Do you think you warrant one?

Yes, I do.

So do I.

It didn't seem to matter.

Yes, I do.

You doin' it again.

Talkin' to yourself.

You already got your
Rec from Dr. WT?

Locked in.

Funny thing is I didn't
even need Mr. Merryash.

The application lady
saw Dr. WT's name,

said the second was optional.

Hey, David.

You need to be over by
nine for church Sunday.

Yeah, okay.

I love church. This Sunday?

We can ride together.

This ain't about you.

It's a mans day, we're goin'
because we're men, relax.

-Ma'am.
-[phone ringing]

Dr. Woods-Trap.

Yes, it's fine,

I'll let him know.

Dr. Bree is waiting for you.

You can leave class
a few minutes earlier,

provided all your work is done.

Is that what you
wanted to ask about?

Yes, ma'am.

[sighs]

You need to tell me
all about this new man

you been seein', Max.

You okay, girl?

I uh... you know.

A little clammy, Glo.

Feel steady, I got you.

Ain't no shame in needin'
some help sometimes, Max.

Won't cost you much.

[Dr. Bree]
I heard those Hurston reps
can be pretty tough.

Do you think you
made a connection?

We were good.

What did you talk about?
Did you learn anything useful?

[Dr. Woods-Trap's Voice]
I need to understand

what is going on with you.

[Sky] You supposed to
be focused on school.

-High school Interviews--
-Don't look at that--

-[Gloria] No job, I got fired.
-[Raynan] Brought that pharmo

-onto the Ville.
-[Gloria] Where were you, Dee?

[Sky] Don't do it, Dai.

What are your feelings
on the complicated

dynamics between
Cersei and Jamie?

Huh?

Why did you want
extra sessions, David?

Uh, well...

To help.

Hearin' me talk to myself
is somehow helpful?

I don't know.

Maybe some food will help.

A Kit Kat from the
vending machine okay?

Sure.

I'll be right back.

[knocking]

You early.

-Glo.
-I know, the rest is coming.

I got management
on my ass everyday.

I get that, I do.

But I'm good for the money,
you know I am.

Please just take it.

I promise I'm good for the rest.

Please, Mrs. Hertrude.

You got two weeks.

I'll go get your receipt.

Sometimes a man do
what he gotta do

but it still ain't enough.

Word.

Proud leader!

Not a good time.

For what?
Celebration?

Uneasy lies the head
that wears the crown.

Ring a bell?

There ain't no crown.

You kiddin' me?

Now you slayed that Hurston rep.

Got her eyes right off of Seren.

And his head don't seem like
it's in the game anyway.

It doesn't matter.

It's Woods-Trap,
she all over me.

I need that letter.

She just doin' what she do, Dee.

She gotta be up on you
for excellence sake.

She got your back.

You don't know that.

Of course I do.

The letter will come.

You just need to stay focused

and be your best self at school.

Well I got stuff too like
gettin' the rent paid.

Hey, hey, what Gloria say?

Let her worry about that.

You just stay in the
comfort zone and you good, hero.

I ain't good!

When you gonna--

You keep thinkin' about it.

That night.

I told you to run.

My youth,

you gotta a land in sight.

Focus on that straight
line to Hurston.

The 'Ville's
all about yesterday.

You're a man of war.

Your salvation
is far from here.

Not in this game!

Leave me the fuck alone!

[Sky] Once you make your choice
Dai, you gotta live with it.

Own it, believe it.

Even get others to believe it.

You can't fool everybody.

Or maybe you can.
