[ Birds chirping ]

COREY: Now,
Freeman Lake apartments sits on

nearly 14 acres.

We're actually on the site
of a former plantation.

It was owned by a guy
named George Pierre Tarrant.

He was a former slave,
originally from Haiti,

and he was able to purchase
this property

after a successful
slave revolt uprising.

That's right.

Hey, Mom, wasn't
my grandfather Haitian?

Yea, actually he was.

So after slavery was
officially abolished,

the neighboring
plantation owners

conspired against Mr. Tarrant.

They assassinated him.

And they tossed him
into this lake.

Now, rumor has it that if
you listen really closely,

you can still hear
the cries and screams

of Mr. Tarrant's ancestors
and his followers.

Is that supposed to be
the selling point?

To me, it is.
Given the times we livin' in.

Reminds us how much more
we can do.

So the amenities include
salt water pools.

You have a gym,
basketball court,

tennis court, spa.

Got a clubhouse.

And every unit comes with
its own washer and dryer.

So this is a very,
very friendly community.

I mean, after all,
you are in the South, so um...

-Southern hospitality.
-...lot

Yeah, a lot of young people,
um, families.

Got a good amount of seniors.

Um, got this amazing festival.

Candles, singing competition.

Baby.

-What's wrong.
-What's wrong?

Oh, you don't have to worry
about that.

Um...

No, we had, um, an older
tenant that just moved out.

Uh, she was a pack rat,
so she was a hoarder

and place got infected.

We had to get it fumigated.

And so that's what this is.

This will be down in
a couple days, so...

-Did she die?
-A.J.

No, no, it's fine.

No, Ms. Irma
is over at a nursing home

in the neighborhood, so you can
go visit, bring her soup.

That's all we do.
It's a community, like I said.

Anyway, the apartment I want to
show you is just over here.

You don't have to
worry about it.

This is our typical
two bedroom, two bathroom unit.

Each unit comes with
its own washer and dryer.

And now we had a recent vacancy,
so of course the walls will

be repainted,
the floors will be done.

This unit also comes with
a fireplace, outdoor patio,

brand-new appliances.

This is a ground floor unit,
which means

that they typically go
pretty quickly.

Long as I get my own room.

Yeah, sure.

Hm.

It's nice.

But something wrong?

I mean, is it me,
or is it a little dark in here?

Well, like I said,
it's on the ground floor,

so there are trees
that block all the light.

But some people
like the seclusion.

Yeah, I'm -- I'm real big
on light -- natural light.

Okay, you know what?

I know the perfect place
for you.

Perfect. Let's go, kid.

Is that the happy face?

There's only one face.

[ Chuckles ]

So this unit...

Arnez.

Are you done with that?

Yep, just finishing up.

You were supposed to have
this done already, bro.

What about unit 116?

That's next.

That was supposed to be
before this one, bro.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Okay.

Anyway, I'm sorry,
this is Arnez,

our head maintenance,

This is the Jones family.

Hi, Arnez. Nice to meet you.

Pleasure to meet you, too.

You need anything, let me know.

I'll help out if I can.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Get to it.

That's Arnez.
You got to watch that one.

Listen, uh, so this unit
recently vacated,

and it's not even listed yet.

Oh, my God.

-Corey, I love it.
-I figured you would.

Oh, the feng shui is on point.

-Mm-hmm.
-And there's natural light.

COREY: Exactly. I know you would
love this place.

Now, I've got a co-worker
in the office that's trying

to put her dibs on this
for a family member.

But I believe I can work
my magic and get you in this.

Now, this is going to be
a little bit more expensive.

But you can -- you can make it
happen, right?

I mean, that would be amazing.

Like I said, I, uh,
I got some pull around here.

-Oh, yeah.
-So, uh...

I will, you know,
get the paperwork done

and, you know, just --

you don't have any, uh, warrants
for your arrest, do you?

[ Laughs mockingly ]

No, Mr. Bennington, I don't.

Just saying that because,
you know, I'm sure

you've stolen some hearts.

I-I'm --

I promise I-- I will
keep this profession.

It's -- it's all right.

[ Chuckles ]

-It's teenagers.
-Teenagers.

[ Laughs ]

Yeah, you get it.

I was...

All right.

I'm thinking tacos for dinner
tonight, what you think?

Yeah.

Oh, we could watch that
new Flix show you like.

That'd be fun.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

[ Sighs ] Come on, A.J.

I'm gonna need you to work with
me a little bit here.

Put down your phone.

We literally just saw one
of the most amazing town houses,

and you acted like you had
no interest in any of it.

It's like no matter what I do,
I can't please you.

Hey, well, what do you
want me to do?

Jump around like I'm happy here?

-Yes. Jump around, smile.

Show that you're happy,
for God's sake.

-Happy?
-Happy. Yes, A.J.

What, am I speaking
a foreign language?

I mean, I have literally done
everything that you've asked.

You wanted a nice house?
That's what you're getting.

Your own room? Check.

A school with a good
basketball team?

Double check.

Honestly, kid, what do you want?

I want to go home.

I don't care about some
new house or some stupid room.

I have my own back in Baltimore.

And I don't play ball no more.

'Cause I ain't worried about
no stupid team.

You wanted to be here.
I didn't want to be here.

It's not what I want.

I just want to be
back my family.

[ Beeping]

[ Cellphone vibrates ]

-Hello?
-Hello, Ms. Jones.

Yeah, this is she.

COREY: This is Corey Bennington
from Freeman Lake Apartments.

[ Laughs ] Hi.

How's that young man
of yours doing?

He's adjusting.
We're all adjusting.

Hoping to get situated soon.

COREY: Right. Listen, um...

I've got some good news
and just a little bad news.

-Really?
-Yeah.

Uh, were you not able
to pull those strings?

No, no, no.
That's -- that's the good news.

That's the easy part.

It's just that we have
a very strict credit policy.

And it seems that your credit
falls just below the limit.

-Really?
-Yeah. So it's no problem.

But listen, if you have, um,
another person who can be

a guarantor,
maybe a family member

or a husband or...

Mr. Bennington, if there was
a husband in the picture,

he would be on the application.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to offend.

No, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to get defensive.

Really. Look, um...

Just give me -- give me a day.

I'm sure I can
figure something out.

Okay, we'll hold the apartment
for another two days.

If you need anything else,
just let me know.

Thank you.

All right.

JOJO: Hey, you've reached Jo.
You know what to do.

Hey, Jo, it's me.

Give me a call back
when you get a chance.

I have a favor to ask.

Love you, girl. Bye.

God.

Shit!

MAN: I want to applaud your
bravery, right on the heels

of our recent pandemic.

Happy employees
are productive employees.

For any society to thrive
and move forward,

one must not allow fear
to stand in the way.

But what about business?

Well, the most important
part of business is its people.

No business can run
effectively without them.

However, people don't
work in a vacuum.

They have to work together
to get their jobs done.

So it is vital
that the employers

pay very special attention
to the relationships

in the workplace
and they manage them properly.

Why? Because it helps
the business to run smoothly.

How many performers
do we have in this group?

No actors, performers.

Artists, not nothing.

Oh, well, that's a shame
because...

we act...

-[ Laughs ]
-...in this class.

Or rather, I should say,
we reenact...

[ Laughter ]

Nothing? All right.

So since this is a small group,
before we really dove in,

I just want to go around
and introduce ourselves.

Share with us a little bit
about your experience

during the quarantine.

What did you discover
about yourself?

What is that thing that you may

or may not miss
from your recent experience?

[ Clears throat ]

Yes?

Oh, me, yeah.

Yes, I'm looking right at you.

Sure. Sorry.

Um, hi. I'm Samantha Jones.

My peeps call me Sam.

I am from Baltimore, Maryland.

I am 410.

I am a serious film junkie.

I love going to film festivals,
walks in the park, jogging.

Quite simply, just snuggling
with my son on the couch,

watching a good movie,
and eating some hot kettle corn.

Nothing tops it.

And yet my favorite meal
is a number one plain,

extra crispy waffle fries
and a half and half

from Chicken Shack.

During quarantine,
I spent a lot of time

in the kitchen, and it turns out
I am an expert baker.

Who knew?

And I would say
what I miss the most.

Affection.

There's nothing like a good hug.

End of my confession.

[ Laughter ]

You, sir. Good, sir.

-Me?
-Yep.

Chicken Shack. Mm-hmm.

[ Chuckles ]

Hello. My name is Des.

I'm from up north, as well.

D.C. area.

By way of Detroit, Motown.

Let's see.
What do I miss?

Uh...

I miss...I miss people.

And what have I learned?

I learned compassion.

Yeah, I learned to, uh,
listen to people,

listen to what society
is teaching us,

you know, how to make a change.

But, um...

I don't do Chicken Shack.

[ Laughter ]

-I mean...
-What?

Yeah, right.

Come on, I consider myself
a healthy eater.

You know, I mean,
Chicken Shack's good, fast food.

It's decent,
but it doesn't quite fit

my nutritional standards.

-Oh.
-Although I do sneak in

a waffle fry every now and then.

See!

[ Laughter ]

I knew it. I knew it.
No one can fully, fully resist.

All right. Who's next?
You.

SAM: So you really tryin'
to say that you don't

eat Chicken Shack.

-No.
-That's unheard of.

-No.
-Bye, guys.

-Like I said...
-Bye.

I sneak in a waffle fry or two,
but you know.

I knew it.
Oh, my car's right here.

Oh, same here. Ah.

Northerner who drives.
I'm impressed.

Oh, now you have jokes.

Yeah. It's not like we have
much of a choice nowadays.

Yeah.

Oh, wow. Looks like you got
a lot going on in there.

Uh...

Please don't judge me. Um...

I'm usually much better
put together than this.

My son and I have been kind of
living out of this thing.

And obviously laundry
is at the top of our to do list.

No judgment.
You guys all right?

Yeah, I mean, we literally just
moved here like a week ago.

-Oh. Oh, wow. okay.
-So...

Cool.

Yeah. I mean, I thought
we'd have an apartment by now,

but we've had a few setbacks,
and it's just been this --

Why am I telling you this?

Uh, must be my aura.

I mean, you know,
it's all in the face.

Right, in the jaw line.

No, but seriously,
I'm sorry to hear that.

Oh, no worries.

I mean, we have
something in the works.

Just praying it comes through.

Oh. It will.

-I know.
-[ Chuckles ]

All right, so you have
my e-mail.

-Yeah.
-I mean, when you get things

situated, you know,
just let me know when...

-Oh, the project?
-Right.

-Yeah.
-Right, the project.

-Cool.
-Exactly.

-All right.
-All right.

Okay, have a good night.

-Drive safe.
-Yeah, I will.

[ Engine starts ]

[ Cellphone rings ]

-Hey.
-Hey.

-So how'd it go?
-It was interesting.

MAN: So how do you think
it's going to play out?

I don't know
what to think of her yet.

MAN: Yeah.

But it's going to be more
of a commitment than I thought.

-All right.
-Hm.

All right. I'll see you later.

All right.
Yeah, I'll see you soon.

[ Line ringing]

Hello, Samantha?

It's late.
Everything all right?

Hey, yeah, Mom. I'm just
calling in, checking in.

See how you're doing.

NANA: Checking in on me? Hmm.

Well, I'm fine.
Just watching my shows is all.

Well, that's good.
Sounds like you're relaxing.

But ain't it a little late?
Shouldn't you be in bed asleep?

Then why did you call?
To wake me up?

Mama, I'm just saying.

No, I don't think I should
be in bed asleep, Sam.

I am grown and retired.

I spent 33 years working
in that nursing home,

so I think I am entitled
to go to bed

and wake up whenever
I feel like it.

And I think so, too.

I am just saying
that proper rest

and minimizing what you consume
is important.

I mean, Mama, you need fresh air
and productive things to do.

Are you finished?

Because right now Viola
is getting ready

to come on Kimmel,
and I gots to go.

Well, there is one thing
I wanted to ask you,

if you have a second.

Mm-hmm. there it is.

I knew you wanted something.
What is it, Samantha?

I need a guarantor
for my apartment.

A guarantor?

For that bug infested place
you found?

Bug infested place?
Who told you that?

Who do you think, Sammy?
My grandson.

Well, did he also tell you
how amazing it is

and about the amenities?

Mama, it is literally like
five miles from A.J.'s school,

right on Terror Lake Drive.

You have to see this.

Terror Lake Drive?
Have you lost your damn mind?!

Moving in a place called
Terror Lake such and such?

I can't sign off on that.

This is really irresponsible
of you, Sam.

Now, you got my grandson
all wrapped up in this.

Mama, it's not what you think.
All right?

You truly need to see this
to believe it.

It checks off all the boxes,
and there's an extra room

for you to stay
if you want to come visit.

Samantha, you know damn well
I don't fly or travel anywhere,

not for anyone or anything.

And what did God say about this?

Have you prayed?

Because right now
this all feels rushed.

-But, Mama, I don't have --
-I can't sign off on this.

I need time to think about this.

Look, we have 48 hours
until your grandson

and I will be out on the street.

Mama...

Aren't you the one that always
says that the devil stays busy?

Stop it. This ain't got nothing
to do with the devil.

This is all you.
And it's called poor planning.

Now, you should have thought
about this before you packed up

and moved all those miles away.

You know what, Mom,
I'll call you back.

I got to go.

MAN ON TV: We don't have
a lot of time.

We should get moving.

We good to go?

-Come on.
-Yeah.

[ Cellphone rings ]

-Hello?
-What's up, partner?

We got the spot.

I'm sorry, who is this?

Oh, uh, it's Sam from class.

I'm sorry. I got your
number from Blackboard,

where we post our assignments.

I hope that's not too much.

No, no, you're good.
You're fine.

So you got the spot, huh?

Yeah.

So listen, I mean,

I know you told me
your schedule is a little crazy,

but, um, I was hoping
that if I paid you

that you would help me
move a few boxes.

[ Laughs ]

So no wonder you went through
all the trouble to call me.

It is not like that.
Well, not exactly anyway.

Look, I was going to call
you about the project anyway.

To be honest, I usually
would never ask for help.

But, Des, I don't
really have anyone else.

I'm just messing with you.
It's all good.

Yeah, of course
I'll help you out.

I got, um, tomorrow morning,
early tomorrow morning.

Is that good for you?

SAM: Done, perfect.

Des, you are a lifesaver.
Thank you so much.

Look, um, I got to go,

but I'll text you
the address, okay?

-All right.
-Thank you again.

All right. Bye.

Yeah, no problem.

[ Chuckles ]

Hey, Munchy. You comfy?

Yeah, I'm good.

-You sure?
-Mm-hmm.

You know, you could come
lay in bed with me,

or you could lay in
your own room.

You don't have to be
on the floor.

Ma, I'm good.

SAM: Lift your head, baby.
Lift up.

[ Sighs ]

I love you.

I love you, too, Mom.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

Oh, where's this go?

Uh, that goes in my bedroom.

-All right, cool.
-Thank you.

Hey, young brother,
you like your room?

Young brother?

Carry this blue box, please.

Come on.

What are you doing?

[ Chuckles ]

Resting.

You definitely gave me
my workout for the day.

Ah, yeah.

I feel horrible.

I hope lunch made up
for the manual labor.

I'm just messing with you.

It was no problem at all.

And lunch was delicious.

Okay.

Come here. Sit down.

SAM: Yeah. All right.

What are we doing?

We're taking in this fresh air.

Appreciating the moment.

You found an apartment
within one week of moving here.

[ Both laugh ]

You probably haven't even
stopped to take that in.

[ Sighs ]

True that.

This is beautiful.

[ Shower running ]

[ Sam screams ]

Shit!

[ Gasps ]

Hey, honey,
we're going to be late.

I need you to finish that up

and go start the car
for me, please.

Hey, Arnez, this is Samantha
in unit 5.

I woke up this morning
to discover

that we have no hot water.

So if you could please just
stop by and give that a look

when you get a moment,
I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you.

We're going to be so late.
Put your seatbelt on. Let's go.

[ Engine starts ]

-Mom, watch out!
-Oh, shit!

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Shit. Are you okay?

-Morning.
-Corey?

I could have killed you.
Are you okay?

-I am so sorry.
-It's not your fault.

I-I should have been
paying attention.

I -- I get in a zone,
and I don't --

I don't always pay attention.

SAM: Wait, you live around here?

Yeah. Yeah, I live over here.

What, you think y'all
the only ones that can enjoy

all these amazing amenities.

Ma, he is fine. Come on.

I'm sorry. We're running late.

It's okay. I see.

You've been busy unpacking, huh?

I don't want to be
late for school.

COREY: I'm fine. Listen.
I'm gonna finish my run.

And, uh, maybe I'll see
you on the trail.

Yeah, maybe. I saw -- I noticed
that trail yesterday.

It looks beautiful.

Oh, yeah, it's beautiful.

Mom, come on. We got to go.

-Well...
-Maybe I'll see you.

Yeah, as you can see...

I can text you if you want.

Wait. How?

I mean, I don't have
your number personally.

I could get it from the office,
and, you know.

I mean, e-mail you. Whatever.

Yeah. No, I mean, I'm sure
I'll see you around,

or I could just come to
the office myself or something.

Sounds good to me.

Just put some ice
on it or something.

I am so sorry, Corey.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Baby, get in the front seat.

No, I'm good.

So now I'm your chauffeur.

[ Engine starts ]

Mom, what's going on?

I don't know, Munchy.

What the hell is going on?
