? You gotta step up ?

? Real tough, gotta step up ?

? Big girl
You gotta step up ?

Girl you gotta step up ?

Now you gotta step up ?

? Gotta step up ?

? You gotta step up ?
[echoing]

So... How are we doing?

Okay, I guess.
Class is good.

Davis, the purpose of
this first review is for me

to touch base with my students

and make sure that they
are progressing here.

You've been through
a lot lately.

It's hard.

I think about Justin, you know?

Makes it difficult to focus.

I understand, but,
well, you need to focus.

Justin will be fine
for the time being.

And you doing well here
really improves your chances

of getting him back.

Change is hard.

Yeah, I know.
It's just I always thought

it would be me, Rigo,
and King, you know?

They were my homies.

What
about Odalie and Tal?

I mean,
Sage was very impressed

with what you guys came up
with for the live stream.

Yeah, we make a pretty
good team, I guess.

It's good to make
new friends, Poppy.

You should lean in
to that more.

And Odalie is just
the type of person

that you're gonna wanna align
yourself with, trust me.

Okay, if you say so.

-But you like it here, right?
-I love it here.

Good, and you're doing
really well.

Your dance
ability is strong, teachers love you.

Oh, hey, you, uh...
you attended Marcus Garvey?

I taught a movement class there
a few years back.

I thought I'd met
all the dancers.

You weren't in my class,
were you?

Um, no, I wasn't.

I was more into sports
while I was there.

Also, my parents split up,

so it wasn't really
the best time for me.

[Collette] I see.

So you're dancing
with Poppy now?

Yeah.

[Collette]
And how's that going?

Good, yeah, she's, um...
she's really talented.

And classes?

Uh, they're hard,
but they're really fun.

Look, I'm trying to get
a full picture of how you're doing here.

Okay, fine, here's the deal:

I... I'm doing fine.
Like, really.

I like it here,
and I even think

that I have a shot
at Sage's tour.

So do I.

Just keep up the good work.

I will.

Oh, you know what?
One more thing.

I don't seem to have any of
your social media accounts.

-Right.
-We take it very seriously here,

and it's a crucial part
of setting yourself apart.

Especially if you want
a spot on Sage's tour,

you have to have
an online presence.

[Tal] Mm-hmm.

I'm sure
you have great stuff.

I just need you to get
it to me ASAP, all right?

How's tomorrow?

Um...

Sure. No problem.

? I ain't trying
To do what's right ?

? Me is the best thing
I could ever do ?

? So I'm-a keep doing me ?

-Yeah!
-? Me is the best thing ?

? I could ever do ?

? So I'm-a keep doing me ?

? Hustle all day
Party till I... ?

[both laughing]

Yeah.

Dondre!

-What up, boy?
-What's good, brother?

-Chillin', chillin'.
-You good? How are you?

-I'm good. Yeah.
-Yeah?

Listen, man, I heard
what happened at High Water.

Shit was fucked up.

-You're sure you're good?
-I'm all right, man.

In fact, I'm better
than all right.

Now I got this music studio,
bro. This shit is lit.

I can see that.
Straight fire.

Yeah, man,
I've been locked in here for a solid week now,

working on some new tracks,
and I got this one in particular,

I know this shit is dope.

-Word?
-Yeah.

Well, you know I wanna
hear it whenever you're ready.

Man, say no more.

Listen, man, I've been
grinding all alone,

and it's time
to put it out there,

see if the people like it.

So I was wondering...

[laughs]

Can I play my song
at your next party, bruh?

Come on, man, you got
the perfect crowd for me.

Yeah. Yeah. About that.

Shit I'm doing now,
it's a whole different crowd.

I mean, it ain't even
people from our hood.

-Talking about Marietta.
-Marietta?

Yeah, exactly.

Maybe next time, brother.

Nah, that's perfect, bruh.
Marietta? Rich white folk?

Bruh, if my shit can
get Marietta jumping, I'll know it's a hit.

I hear you on that,
but it's tonight.

-Kinda all set up.
-Even better, bruh.

Listen,
I'll keep it cool, man.

I'll slide through,
flip my shit to the DJ, then I bounce.

Come on, man.
Do me this solid, bruh.

-Please.
-Do you a solid?

Come on, man.

-All right.
-[laughs]

-Yeah!
-I got you.

But I need you to
keep it professional.

That's what I said.
Professional, cool, same thing.

No, no, no, no, no.

-Professional.
-Same thing. [laughs]

? We are not the same
Oh really you are lame ?

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

? I tried to tell her
Tell her tell her ?

-? Me is the best thing
I could ever do ? -Yeah!

Hey! Okay!

Cheers, Dondre!

Aah!

That's how we're gonna
have them in Marietta, boy!

[laughs]

? Hustle all day
Party till I faint ?

? I gotta stay high
Just to try to... ?

Hey.

-Hey.
-Hey.

There you are.
How was... How was New York?

It was hectic,
but productive. The label seems cool.

We set most
of the tour dates.

We're kicking it off
with four nights at the Garden.

Madison Square Garden?

Tickets go on sale
at midnight.

-Shit.
-Yeah, Sage is big time.

-Right.
-[both laugh]

Hey, I missed you.

Yeah, uh, me... me, too.

[both laugh]

So when can we, uh...

Uh, just remember
what we talked about.

Just keeping it
on the DL?

-Right, yeah.
-At least here at High Water.

Yeah, yeah.

How about...
How about later tonight?

I can't tonight, um...
I gotta figure some shit out.

What?

My social media.

Collette says she needs it.

Yeah, your social sucks.

Fuck. Thanks.

Hello? Director
of Social Media here.

Come on, let me help you.

-You'd do that for me?
-Of course.

-When does she need it by?
-Tomorrow?

Okay. Then we have
a lot of work to do.

So when are you
done with class?

Uh... I don't know.
Ask Bill.

[Dondre] Birthday girl
loves her glamping theme.

We all set with the alcohol?

Um, yes,
kegs for the masses,

bottle service
for the VIPs.

And everything else is set.

Bartender is en route,
sound check is complete,

and my dancers are ready.

[Dondre] I know
we've been running it all week,

but just to make
sure it's tight,

-let's run it one more time.
-Okay.

-Okay?
-Yeah.

[Dondre] Cool.

[Janelle]
Oh, man, this is crazy.

Party like this,
we do it right,

our business
is gonna catch fire.

-Fire.
-Fire.

[chuckles]

Okay. Vanessa,
y'all ready to run it?

-Let's go.
-DJ, let me just hear it from the hook.

All right,
five, six, seven, eight.

[hip hop playing]

Hold up.

Hold up, hold up, hold up.

Come on, y'all. Come on.

We went through this.
What's going on?

Y'all not giving me nothing.
No energy.

No sauce. I need...
Can I get some of this?

I need some of this.
I need some stank on it.

This move right here,
y'all gotta get down low.

This here, the Fader move.
Uh!

Hey!

Come on. Uh!

It's here.

Here, mm.
Gotta be stank.

That's the move I want
everybody throwing down

this summer in Atlanta,
all right?

-Y'all hear me?
-Yeah.

All right, let's run it again.

[Janelle] All right,
y'all, same place, ready?

Five, six, seven, eight.

[hip hop playing]

[Dondre]
Yeah. Hey! Hey!

-There you go!
There go the sauce! -[Janelle] Good job.

There go the sauce!

[dancers laughing]

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout.

Hey, Nelle.

Make sure you stay in sync
on that last part, okay?

You can't be
falling out like that

when we're doing it
for real.

I know, sorry.

You don't
need to apologize.

Just make sure
you're on when it's game time.

And keep your confidence up.
You got this.

You sure?

I'm sure. Hundred percent.

They ain't gonna know
what hit 'em.

[Cardi B] ? That means
I don't fuck with you ?

? I'm a boss
You a worker bitch ?

-? I make bloody moves ?
-That's right, right?

? Now she say she who
Gonna do what to who? ?

? Let's find out and see
Cardi B ?

? You know where I'm at ?

All right, guys, come on.

I'm gonna show you it once,

and then we're gonna learn it
together. Ready?

Goes like this.

? I know they're tired of me ?

? Honestly don't give a fuck ?

? 'Bout who ain't fond of me ?

? Dropped two mix tapes
In six months ?

? What bitch working
As hard as me? ?

All right, guys,
let's go from the top.

Ready, five, six, seven, eight.

One and down and me, hey!

Is he trying to
teach us this routine or kill us with it?

I don't know, probably both.

I'm starving.
Tal, what are you doing later?

I was supposed to
be going to a party, but I got shit to do.

What party you going to?

[Tal] Marietta.
it's Dondre's party.

Dondre's throwing
white boy parties now?

Marietta's
a rich neighborhood.

You know,
that's what everybody says.

Well, y'all know
I love a good Dondre party.

O, you
should come with me.

You gotta check
the scene out. I'm serious.

Well, could Davis come?

I mean, if I go,
I'd want him to come with me.

Girl, invite whoever.
I'm inviting everybody.

Tal, you sure you
can't roll with us?

No, I can't come with you.

And will you just shut up?
I'm dying here.

All right.

All right, Poppy, looks like
you got it down pretty good.

-Come do it with me one time.
-All right.

? I be in and out
Them banks so much ?

? I know they're tired of me ?

? Honestly don't give a fuck ?

? 'Bout who ain't fond of me ?

? Dropped two mix tapes
In six months ?

? What bitch working
As hard as me? ?

? I don't bother
With these hoes ?

? Don't let
These hoes bother me ?

? They see pictures
They set goals ?

? Bitch I'm who
They trying to be ?

? Look I might just chill
In some BAPE ?

[Johnny-One]
So, I'm downloading all of your assets from the cloud,

pictures, video, music,
whatever you got.

And then we'll
sort through it later for the best stuff.

Okay. Cool.

Then we also
need to build you a full online presence.

Facebook, Instagram,
Snapchat,

and since
your specialty is dance, your own YouTube channel.

Okay, that sounds like a lot--
a lot of work.

It is, but
that's why it's good you're here with me.

Because we're
gonna build you your own website.

And then I had
this idea of calling it greyhounddancer.com.

Do you like it?

Yeah. I like that. Yeah.

Cool.

-Well, there's a problem.
-What?

I'm just... I'm not seeing
a lot of video, Tal.

Pictures are great,
but it's just not enough.

-I don't--
-You need to tell a story.

Your story.
It needs to live and breathe and have some personality.

That's what makes
social media really work.

A story is
the difference between

a person with a bunch
of online friends

and then a person
with a million followers.

And if I wanna
be on Sage's tour...

You wanna be the guy with
a million followers, right?

-[sighs]
-It's okay. It's okay.

We just need
some more assets, that's all.

Do you have any?

-Think, come on.
-I don't know!

-Yes, you do!
-Uh...

Well... maybe.

I have...

Would you take a ride
with me somewhere?

[music playing]

Yeah, man,
that shit sounds dope!

-Is that you, bruh?
-Boy, none other!

Damn, you got it sounding like
Velvet City up in here, homie.

[laughs]
I appreciate it.

Yeah, you're the first
to hear it, too.

-Word?
-Yeah, but I'm gonna roll it out

at this party
in Marietta tonight.

-Marietta?
-Yeah.

[chuckles]
What's up with that shit?

It's Dondre, man.
He's expanding his shit.

Trying to take his
party business to,

like, the next level
or whatever.

Yo, can you imagine
how much money

he gonna be racking in
with those rich folks?

Huh. Yeah, that's, uh...
That's crazy.

Look, homie,
I gotta be there when you play the song

for the first time,
so let me ride with you.

Uh... yeah, cool.

But we gotta be in and out.

I told Dondre,
you know what I'm saying, I was gonna be cool.

You know, quick, in and out,
and just don't wanna fuck up

anything he got going,
you know?

Yeah, we wouldn't
wanna fuck up what Dondre got going on, right?

-Yeah.
-I'll text you a little later, cool?

-Yeah, all right, man.
-All right.

[Young Boy]
? I don't trust you ?

? 'Cause you dab
With the left hand ?

? I keep something
Up on my hip ?

? That's my right hand ?

? All my dogs come first ?

? All lost in the purp ?

? Left hand doin' numbers ?

? Right hand doin' work ?

-Dondre!
-Hey!

-Happy birthday,
beautiful! -Thank you!

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Oh, this is
my boyfriend, Ridge.

-What's up, man?
-What's up?

All kinds of shit, my man.

We got nothing but fun planned
for y'all tonight,

so I'm gonna need
y'all do me a favor

and turn the F up, all right?

'Cause I got
all my party people here

and wait until you see
what Janelle got going

on with these dancers.
That bit is lit.

I love hip hop.

I know you guys
are gonna bring it.

Well, thank you,
it should be fun.

I'm excited.
It's gonna be great.

It's gonna be better than great.
Shit's about to be crazy.

Off the chain.
Anything, you name it.

Y'all getting the full Dondre
experience tonight.

This party
better be sick, dude. Costing a fortune.

Here, try it, it's really good.

Mm. Oh, this is good.

Right? Keep it.

-Really?
-Yeah.

Thank you. I need it.
You wouldn't believe.

Well, we got some
last minute shit to check up on,

so y'all enjoy yourselves,
all right?

-Oh, we will.
-We will.

Nelle?

Bye.

You sure about this shit?

There's a lot of people
I don't even know showing up right now.

Look, trust me, okay?

I've been
to this guy's parties. They fucking rock.

See that chick over there?

I fucking know her
from high school.

What the fuck
is she doing here?

Whatever.
She probably knows Dondre.

Come on,
I wanna do another bump.

Okay.

[Davis]
Hey, check this out, yo.

Is this shit free?

Well, if it wasn't,
it is now.

One for you.

Hey!

[hip hop playing]

Thank you.

There are a ton
of people here.

Hella people. And we
about to make hella bank.

Mm-hmm.

This party could put us
on the map for real.

When these folks
tell their friends,

when they tell
their friends,

we're gonna be
the go-to from now on.

I mean, seriously,
this is hype.

It's exactly
how we pictured it.

I know, right?

Oh, shit.

Marquise, what's up, my G?

Don't give me
that smarmy-ass shit.

Whoa, chill out.
Why you so hostile?

Because my phone didn't
ring on this party, that's why.

We had a deal.
You don't just come up here

and start up some
side-hustle bullshit.

-It ain't like that.
-The fuck it ain't.

I push my product
at all your parties, nigga.

That includes tonight.

Unless you need me
to have a reason to go back on our deal.

-Nah, we good.
-All right then.

Much like you,
I got some business to attend to.

Fuck, that's
all I need tonight.

All these drawings
are pretty amazing.

Thanks, yeah,
I love those skinny dogs.

Yeah, no,
they're beautiful.

-They're perfect, actually.
-Yeah?

Yeah.

Oh, and what we can do
here is we can shoot this

on the Oxberry stand
and then animate it for your homepage.

-Yeah, that'd be cool.
-You like this one?

-Yeah, sure.
-What else you got?

Uh...

Oh, those
are baby pictures.

-That's J.
-Oh, cool.

-Oh, my God.
-What?

Look at little Tal.

-[laughs]
-You are so cute!

Oh, my God, is that a load
in your diapers, dude?

What? Shut up, you idiot.
You're stupid.

And, of course,
we're both comic book nerds.

I should have guessed.

It's probably all
the men in tights.

Shut up. No, they were
actually the best role models

an Ohio boy could find.

Like, for real.

-[chips crunching]
-Mm. Mmm.

Al! Hey, what's up?

Nothing.
I thought I heard voices.

-This is-- This is Johnny.
-Right.

-He's my friend.
-Nice to meet you again.

I mean,
we work to--

-Oh, hey.
-Well, um, yeah,

we got to get
back to High Water, so.

-Nice to meet you, man.
-[Johnny-One] Yeah, cool.

That's, uh, that's my Uncle Al.
We should... we should go.

Yeah.

-[hip hop playing]
-[crowd chattering]

Look, man, nah,
no freebies, all right?

-I don't get down like that.
-But this is my party.

It's my birthday.

[chuckles] I don't
give a fuck who day it is.

This is basic commerce, bitch.
Everybody pays.

All right, fuck you!

All right,
shit, let me know.

Man, what the fuck
are you doing, dog?

That's not what we
came here for, man.

Tonight's music, bro.
I promised Dondre, man.

Yo, back the fuck off me,
all right?

I'm working. For your pops.

So let me do my thing,
a'ight?

Right here.
So back up off me.

-We good?
-Yeah, man, we're good.

[crowd chattering]

[Ridge]
Hey! Having a good time?

-What?
-Ashley, it's me, Ridge.

Ashley?

Look, I'm sorry, you must
have the wrong person.

I-- I don't know you.

Come on. What are...
What are you talking about?

-Of course, you know me.
-Look, I don't know you.

All right, this is bullshit.
Ashley, it's me, Ridge.

Okay, bruh, she said
she don't know you, so she don't know you.

Now why don't you
step off, all right?

Yeah, uh...
Yeah, my bad.

Yeah, your bad.

Hey.

You know I got
your back, right?

Come on, let's dance.

You wanna dance with me?

Eh, not right now.

I mean, these new heels
are kinda killing me.

Okay. All right, look,
I'm gonna go get us some more free drinks,

and that'll change your mind.

Since when do you
pass up a chance to dance?

It's very cute.

But, uh, I don't know.

We're not there yet.
It's not enough.

What do you...
What do you mean? That's...

Johnny, that's everything.
That's...

I just showed you
my whole life.

No, no, no, it's good.
It's just...

I don't know.
Something's missing.

What?

You.

That's...

Come on. Come with me.

Come on,
let's go.

[Taylor] Where's Dondre?

Um, I don't know,
I can find him, though.

When you do,
tell him I'm bumming, okay?

There are some
super sketchy people here,

like that fucking Marquise guy?

What is up with that dick?

Like, does he even
know this is my party?

I swear, I'm about to ask
Dondre for my money back.

Excuse me.

Sorry. Dre, um,
I think we have a problem.

-What's up?
-Taylor is pissed.

Apparently, Marquise
dissed her or something.

-Aw, shit, are you serious?
-No, I'm not kidding.

She said something about
getting her money back.

-Whoa, whoa.
-Oh, no, no, no, no.

Okay, that's not happening.

We gotta do something
to step this shit up, okay?

All right, new plan.
Get the DJ ready, okay?

And find your dancers,

-all right?
-Okay.

Rigo, I need you, bro.

Instead of playing
your song tonight,

I need you to perform it.

-Yeah.
-Huh?

-Yeah.
-For real?

Yes, dead ass. Need you
to turn this bitch out.

-All right?
-Hey, let's get it.

I got you.

[Johnny-One]
So, tell me, who is Tal Baker?

Uh, I'm... I'm a dancer.

And I like music.

-All kinds of music.
-Okay.

And how'd you find dance?

I don't know, it just...

It just happened, I guess.

Come on. You're gonna
have to give me something.

What? What do you mean?

I'm just--
I'm talking, like, you asked me a question.

-I answered the question--
-No, you're not.

I don't know
what you want from me.

Okay, let's try this
another way.

Okay.

Here's a couple of things
that I can tell

by just looking at you.

Yeah, you're a dancer,
but look at you.

You are hot as hell.

And your smile lights up
the room, and you know it. [laughs]

But you're scared as fuck
whenever you get on stage.

But you love being up there.

You have to be up there.

Why is that?

-I don't know.
-Yes, you do.

-I don't, I--
-Yes, you do.

-Yes, you do.
-I just...

You're this reserved guy.
And then you pop off on people.

And, I don't know, I just think
it's because deep down,

you know you're
smarter than they are.

That's not...
That's not true. Like, I love people.

-What do you--
-Yeah.

You know what love is,
but you've never been in love.

Okay, well,
now you're just wrong.

-Am I?
-Yeah, you're wrong.

-You don't know.
-Okay.

So, just give me a name.

Someone that you have loved
with your whole heart.

Someone you'd die for.
Anyone.

My sister.

I'm talking about
romantic kind of love, Tal.

So just give me a name.

You know
what your problem is?

No. What's my problem?

You've been an outsider
everywhere you've lived.

You've been hiding,
and you've never found

a person or place
that understood you.

Until now.

What do you mean?

Come on, Tal.

You're gonna have to open up
if this is gonna work.

Yo, yo, yo, what's going on?
It's your boy, Rigo.

What a hoppin' place to be!
Marietta's poppin'!

Marietta, I see you, man.
We're about to do his thing.

Where the fuck is she?

[man]
I don't know, bro.

Hey! Get up there.

Where you at?
What are you doing?

-Whoa! Are you drunk?
-No, no, no.

Are you fucking
rolling right now?

Dre, I'm fine, I can do it.
I'm sorry, it just hit me.

-Sit down! Sit down.
-Dre.

Who's the greatest dancer
that's ever lived?

-Baryshnikov, easy.
-And your favorite rapper?

-Tupac.
-All-around performer?

-Sage Odom, obviously.
-Have you ever been drunk?

I don't know
if it counts as drunk.

[Johnny-One laughs]
Okay, okay.

It was like
my version of drunk.

I had, like--
I had, like, two beers, and, I mean, I felt drunk.

-That's why I think...
-[laughs]

-What turns you on?
-Like, sexually?

[laughs] If you wanna
talk about that, you can.

No, I mean, uh...

Con... Confidence.

[hip hop playing]

All right, so level with me.
What the fuck is up with you?

-Look, I really need to go.
-Whoa, whoa, hey.

Come on, come on, come on.
Don't leave. Don't be like this.

-Just stay with me.
-Hey, man, let her go.

Odalie, who the hell
is this guy?

No, the question is,
who the fuck are you, asshole?

-What the fuck
did you just say? -Hey, cool it!

Stop.

Look, Davis, can
you give us a minute?

No. Seriously,
so you just blow me off and then you dance with him?

No, I think you owe me
an explanation.

No, no, no, no, no, no.
she don't owe you anything, dude.

Fuck off!

[grunting]

-Come on, man,
get the fuck up! -Davis!

Dondre, you fucking idiot,
do something!

-[Odalie] Davis, stop!
-Hey, hey, hey!

-Watch out!
-What do you call that?

[Davis] Man, I'm gonna
fuck his ass up!

-Leave him the fuck alone!
-Stop!

What the fuck, Ashley?

Who the fuck
are these people?

-They're my friends!
-Your friends?

Yeah, real nice friends.

You are not some hood rat
from the ghetto.

You're a rich bitch
from Buckhead.

[crowd muttering]

Odalie, what the fuck?

Okay, who is the better dancer,
you or your sister?

What?

-What do you mean?
-Who's the better dancer?

Uh...

I'm sorry, why, like--
I don't understand why--

-Come on,
don't bullshit me. -Why?

No, I don't understand,
what's the...?

Like, we're different.

We're completely different
kinds of dancers.

She's...
She's more confident.

She's a lot more confident,
you know?

But she's, like,
cheerleader confident.

And I guess I'm more in touch

with the feeling of dance
and the emotion.

Like, I would...
I would dance just for me.

I would dance
if nobody was watching.

You fucking lied to us?

Your little ass had everybody
at High Water fooled.

Who cares where I'm from
or how I got here?

Bitch, I do! You know,
I have real friends that got their ass bounced

outta High Water to make room
for your sorry lying ass.

Oh, like your homegirl,
Janelle,

your lie meant
that she got passed over.

-Who is better?
-It's me, okay?

All right, it's me. Fuck,
what do you want me to say?

I'm the one at High Water,
okay? I'm...

I'm the better dancer.

[Poppy] I can't fucking
believe this shit.

Fucking lying ass.

-[Davis] Hey, hey, hey!
-Don't fucking touch her!

Whoa, hey, bro,
you don't wanna do that.

Back the fuck up
or I knock your ass outta here, motherfucker!

[Johnny-One]
Tell me about your dad.

We're definitely
not talking about my dad.

-Oh, you a man?
-Get the fuck out of here!

Don't you
fucking touch her!

-You gotta get the fuck
outta here right now! -You're a liar!

[overlapping shouts]

There was this one guy.

His name was Michael Sterling.

Mike Sterling. Mike Sterling.

And...
Mike Sterling was popular.

He was real popular.

Everybody liked him.

Boys liked him.
Girls liked him.

I liked him.

I liked him, and...

In seventh grade, I found
the courage to tell him.

I was like, "I'm gonna tell
Mike Sterling that I like him."

And that's what I did.

I decided I was
gonna do it at lunch.

I walked outta class,
walked across that playground.

I walked right up to him,

and I told him.

I just said it.

And... And he punched me

and pushed me to the ground.

And then he announced
to the whole playground

what I had just told him.

Everybody began
to crowd round and scream,

"Faggot.

Faggot.

Faggot. Faggot."

And it's funny 'cause
I always loved that saying,

"Sticks and stones
could break my bones,

but words can never hurt me,"

'cause, shit, each one of those
hurt more than the punch.

I knew he liked me.

I knew he did.
Fuck him. Fuck him.

-[siren wailing]
-Now where you going, bitch?

-Janelle, just chill!
-Excuse me?

-[Ridge] You're fucking drunk.
-[Janelle] I'm not drunk!

-Back the fuck up.
-Don't touch me, okay?

I said cool it, bitch!

-I swear, you call me
a bitch one more time-- -Yo, shut the fuck up!

You ain't gonna do shit!

[overlapping shouts]

-Back the fuck up, you bitch!
-Davis!

What is going on?

[Ridge] These girls
are out of fucking control!

[Taylor] Yeah,
they're starting fights!

I'm sorry, we're not
the ones starting fights.

-That bitch started the fight!
-No, no!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

-Whoa, whoa, whoa!
-Hey, let me go!

Hey, you go over there!

Motherfucker,
you better not--

-Hey!
-What are you... Let me...

-What's wrong with you?
-Get down!

-[groaning]
-Stop!

-[Poppy] Let me go!
-[Janelle] Are you fucking serious?

[cop]
You're under arrest!

That's what
you fucking get it!

What the fuck!

-Please let me go!
-Shut the hell up!

Someone do something!

I said shut the hell up!

Come on, leave her alone!

Man, he a nigga
just like us!

Bro, look, you don't
want no part of this, bro!

What the fuck you doing?

-Get off of me!
-Stop!

[Janelle]
Somebody help!

Please help!
Let me go!

Dondre!

Dondre, please!

[Poppy]
Get the fuck off of me!

Hey!

[groans]

Somebody stop!

Get the fuck back,
Ashley!

Get the fuck back!
Get the fuck over here!

Get the fuck
back over here!

No! Stop!

[shouting]

-Davis!
-Stop resisting!

What kind of man

puts his three-year-old
children on a bus

and then never
shows his face again?

You need a man to teach
a boy how to fight!

'Cause when he
knows how to fight,

he... doesn't get his ass beat.

I fucking hate him so much.

I hate him, but I miss him,
you know?

When I'm up there,
when I'm dancing,

it's... it's the only place
I feel alive

and I feel free
and I feel untouchable.

[Johnny-One]
Why are you hiding, Tal?

Why do you hide
when you're on stage?

I don't... I don't know.

Why does anybody...

Because I feel like
you should just... know.

You should look at them and
you should know who they are.

I mean, why...
why do we have to do this?

It's... It's really hard.

It's emotional, and it's...

I'm realizing that...

I've never actually
said it out loud.

To anyone,
not even to myself, I...

I've never just said it.

I'm... I'm gay.

[crying]

That was really beautiful,
what you just did.

-What, kissing you?
-[laughs] No.

No, the interview.

And now you have everything
you need to tell your story.

You just have to decide
what you want it to be.

Sorry, I didn't know
that anyone was in here.

So, uh, so you got it from here,
right, Tal?

-[Tal] Yeah, yeah, thanks.
-Just let me know if you need any more help.

-Cool.
-Cool, yeah.

-Will do, thanks.
-Have a good night.

Night.

He was just helping me
with my social media.

-Oh.
-So, I'm gonna have some great stuff

-for you in the morning.
-Good.

-It's really nice of him.
-Yeah, real... real nice.

You know,
this morning you had said

that you wanted
to make the tour.

Yeah, I-- I do, but...

Well, I wouldn't wanna
see you do anything

to jeopardize that dream.

Okay, Johnny-One works for Sage,
so believe me when I tell you

I know what
I'm talking about with this.

Don't mix
business with pleasure.

All right?

All right,
have a good night.

Good night, Miss Jones.

[door opens]

-Fuck.
-[door closes]

[police radio chatter]

[crowd murmuring]

[engine starts]

Odalie.

I just wanted to dance.
That's all, I...

I didn't mean to lie.

I can't believe
what happened to them.

It's all my fault.

They were my friends.

It's over for me now.

[music playing]

[Tal] It's really hard.

It's emotional, and it's...

I'm realizing that I've never
actually said it out loud.

To anyone,
not even to myself, I...

I've never just said it.
I'm...

? I don't want
To run away ?

-[Al sighs, groans]
- I'm g--

-Hey, kid.
-Hey, hey, Uncle Al, what's up?

Uh, how was...
how was the dinner rush?

Oh, man. Crazy.

I'm tired,
I feel like Kunta Kinte the first day of slavery.

[chuckles] That's terrible.
Can't say that.

-Where's Janelle?
-Uh, she's at the party with Dondre.

Mmm.

Okay.

Is there--
Did you want some...

-Was there something else?
-No, why would--

Well...

Your friend today
from High Water,

now, is
that a friend-friend

or is that
a hanging-out friend, or friend,

like you guys go get
ice cream and share stories

about movies and you go
to movies and things like that?

That kind of friend.

No.

No, we are not just friends.

And we are not just
hanging out because...

I'm gay, Uncle Al, so...

Um...

Hmm...

[sighs]

Okay, that was...
that was not the reaction I was hoping for.

[Tal]
Are you all right?

[mumbles]
Am I all right?

I'm just surprised
you thought I wouldn't be cool with it.

[laughs]

I built you a ballet pole.

-[Tal] Right.
-Okay?

I'm sending signals. Okay?

I mean, this motherfucker
took five hours to build.

I had to come home
with power tools and...

-[laughs]
-I mean, it's...

Straight people
do ballet, too, Uncle Al.

-You know that, right?
-Name one!

[laughs]

-Huh?
-Uncle Al.

You see those shoes?

[laughs]

-Okay?
-Right.

I'm kinda offended
that you didn't think I'd be...

I'd understand.
We're family.

I'm sorry.

You know?
We're on the same team.

Gay, straight...

And I appreciate it.

Really, Uncle Al, and...

and I appreciate you.

Like I said, don't ever
forget we're family.

We're always
on the same team. All right?

-Thanks, Al.
-[phone chimes ringtone]

Hello? Yeah.

Wait, what?

What do you mean? Okay.

Uh...

Janelle's...
Janelle's been arrested.

With drugs.

? Every road
Don't lead to Rome ?

? I see you ?

We're in here because
they saw two black girls and one white girl.

Next on Step Up High Water...

Hey! You can't drop her.

-Ashley?
-Tell her I'm sorry.

Sorry you did it
or you're sorry you got caught?

Just think about all the times
I've done Poppy wrong.

You love her.

[Tal] When you care
about somebody,

you're supposed
to keep them away from this kind of shit.

When our mom's an addict!

[man] Made in Georgia.

? Dooba da-da dee-dee dah ?
