previously on the quad.

What are you doing here? I wanted to see you. Well, you've seen me, now go.

Strip?

Strip! Strip!

Strip! Strip! Strip! Strip!

Strip!

Another round, let's go.

Oh! Nothing's wrong.

She's not moving. That's a new president's daughter, man. She was

close to alcohol poisoning.

Cedric Hobbs?

What the hell are y 'all, ma 'am? You're under arrest for the murder of

Chantelle Broussard. I don't answer to you, and I never will.

You do as I asked you.

or I will not hesitate to put my foot directly in your ass.

My girl was killed.

I can't even feel how I need to feel because I'm in here.

And now you're about to tell me you're not going to help me. You are not my

You understand?

They'll call me to clean up Black Ivory's mess when she fails.

So I have to make sure she fails. Son, you just got something kids who look

you don't get. A second chance.

The hell was that?

I'll get it next time.

There'll be no next time.

I'm out of control and I cannot be stuck cause I'm feeling it hard.

Long as I'm doing me, how can I ever go wrong?

Good evening. Welcome.

We're so glad to have you.

Come on in.

Come on, gentlemen.

Thank you.

You guys know the drill.

Let's go ahead and get everything set up in the back. Just push it all the way

back. We don't want the piano too close.

Yeah, can one of you guys go back and grab the guitar?

Come on, come on, come on.

Set up over there.

Okay, I'll put this down and get the rest of the stuff.

Can you tell her about the dolly in the band room?

She didn't ask.

Man.

Is it possible for a while or so? We can check it sometime together.

Then he says,

I was thinking so, baby, we can go. Need a spot to go anytime he wants. We can

go sometime together.

Do it.

I can't think of anything else to do with who

they are.

Thank you so much for coming up.

I can find a donor who cares as much about their safety as I do, and that is

one and only goal tonight.

Dr. Tyson, if we don't recondition that field, someone's going to step in a hole

for virtual life.

And the locker room mold? Oh, good job.

That's awful.

Running drills on that field?

Hot.

Thank you.

My one and only goal tonight, find the donor who fund an endowed chair in your

name. How about I pick you up, clump your job, and we'll just go.

Hey, babe. Where are you?

I was going to get worried.

Call me back, okay?

Love you.

Come on, let me hear it.

Thank you.

It is right here, y 'all.

Boys. Thank you.

Sweet taste of victory.

It's beautiful.

One more game.

One more game. Beat four in a row.

Gotta love it.

My one and only goal this evening is to show folks like yourself, people who

want to make a difference, why you should invest in this school.

Because the thing is, we are about to have a phenomenal semester.

Our band is fantastic.

Our football team is on the way up.

Excuse me.

One second.

No, I will not remove the lobster crust from the menu.

That is called an investment.

Could you repeat that?

Of course the valet is necessary. It's about appearances.

No, we can go over the particulars when I get in, which should be any minute

now. Goodbye, Crystal.

You are a distraction.

I know you got a party to plan.

It's a capital fund kickoff.

More work than party.

So what time should I be there?

Be where?

I'm kidding.

I know you are.

But don't.

I have to charm my way into the pockets of George's one percenters. And if

you're there... I know.

I get it.

Discretion. It's a better part of valor and all that.

Mm -hmm.

I'm all out.

Oh. Hi, Eva. How are you?

Better now that you're here.

My apologies about lunch.

Oh, no worries at all.

We'll try again next week. Yes, we will.

Hello.

Jason King. Oh, I'm sorry.

Jason is my new CA.

Nice to meet you, Jason.

Oh, the pleasure's all mine, ma 'am.

Ma 'am.

At some point, I'll get used to being surrounded by all these southern

gentlemen. Jason is actually a new transfer from your old school.

From Laura Farnsworth. You're kidding.

What are you studying?

Community psychology.

First year of the PhD program.

Jason has been doing some very interesting work about the culture of

black communities.

Since Dr. Jackson here is one of the most respected scholars in the field, I

decided I would transfer here.

Actually, you know who you must meet.

It's Dr. Elmore Bailey.

He runs the Psychological Testing Center at Atlanta Presbyterian, and he's here.

I was just telling him about Dr. Elmore's work.

Go. We'll be right back.

Be careful who you love.

What's up, Jack?

Nothing. Okay, you're good.

Enjoy. How are we doing?

Oh, how can I help you, my man?

Cedric Hobbs.

I don't see your name on the list.

You got an invitation?

No, I didn't know you needed one.

I'm guessing Dr. Fletcher, though.

His name is right there.

Thanks, bro.

Man, I saw his damn name.

I know you did.

Why do you think I said something?

Then get out of here with that shit.

If one of us would have got grabbed up for murdering some chick, cops would

called it a gang -related hit, multiplied the strikes, and threw us up

jail. But old college boy?

Back and partying with the Prez in less than a month.

I'm gonna go get some more coffee.

You do that.

Hey. Hi, how are you?

What the hell are you doing here?

Well, my dissertation chair invited me.

Leave now.

Okay, first of all, watch your tongue.

Or my tongue might find its way to one of your nipples right here.

I don't know what game you're playing, but I can't.

Not tonight.

Well, that's unfortunate, because tonight's exactly what I want to play.

There you are. Hey, yes.

What is it, sweetie? That really weird party player you hired, it's looking for

you. Okay, thank you.

Wait.

Aren't you going to introduce us?

Sydney, I know this young man is very handsome, but be a little discreet.

embarrassing him.

Well, I do want a woman's willing to be transparent.

Jason. Sydney.

My daughter.

Your daughter? Yes.

My one and only.

Mom.

Go.

Drink?

Sure.

And this right here?

I can't do that anymore.

I'll do that. Thank you.

Something

wrong?

Oh, everything's fine.

Like you said, I just hired a weird party planner.

Jason's a grad student, your mother?

Yes, I know. He's the guest of Simone.

We should be polite and let him go back to her.

Oh, that's okay.

No, it isn't.

It's quite rude, in fact.

Waste of time arguing with her, Jason.

She needs to win.

May I use your cell phone before I go?

Yeah, sure.

You just called me.

I'll eat you back tomorrow.

Were you just flirting with my daughter?

Oh, come on.

You know I'm into older women.

Five minutes.

Your bedroom.

It's open.

Hi, Cedric.

Did I wake you?

No. Come here.

Do you mind if I open these blinds?

Go here.

Sorry, I wasn't expecting nobody.

That's fine.

I am, um... I'm wondering if you might help me with something.

You shot rat.

Most...

You recognize that?

If

you happen to

run into him, let him know I'd like him to perform this piece at a cocktail

party I'm throwing.

My guest speaker flaked on me, so I thought...

Who can I call last minute?

You know, all you could come up with was me.

Cedric, I'm not going to pretend.

I know what you're going through.

No disrespect, but I really can't hear she in a better place.

She wouldn't want you to be sad.

She won't always be with you.

You know, pardon me with that bullshit.

I really can't listen to her right now.

I think you should feel whatever you need to feel.

Whatever you wish you'd done differently.

Any mistakes you want to take back.

Things you never said but should have.

Exactly.

I got a lot on my mind right now.

If you come to this party, it's not going to change how you feel.

But it's not a bad thing to do something you love to do, despite... How you

feel.

Think about it.

I don't need to know that.

No, don't even think about touching me.

Okay, I don't understand. Oh, please.

Unlike the people at this party, I am not charmed by you. What the hell are

doing here?

Oh, you're not charmed?

Why don't you give me a second to change that?

I don't know if you've noticed, but I am hosting a party downstairs.

I'm about to host a party downstairs, too. You just stop.

You think it's funny flirting with my daughter?

And you show up somewhere when I asked you not to? I have to assume that you

don't have my best interest at heart.

I'm not trying to hurt you, Eva. Then don't.

That's enough for me. That's enough for me.

This evening belongs to some of the most talented, the most talented student

musicians in the land.

Come back to the mic, it's here.

Yeah.

Come on.

Take this way, Mr. Diamond. No, no, no, no.

Thank you.

Sir?

I'm crazy about you.

You know that, right?

You know I'm crazy about you. You know that.

Wait.

You're back?

Uh -huh. Easy.

Easy.

I got you.

Did you get a second opinion?

Yep. About a week ago.

You mind sharing?

He agreed with Dr. Yao.

Lung cancer?

Non -small cell.

Lots of treatments. People live in longer.

We'll try to get you into a study right away. Blah, blah, blah.

You know, I'm here for you.

Whatever you need.

You know, I never smoked a day in my life.

Doctors running all kinds of tests, taking blood,

asking all kinds of ridiculous questions about my family history.

All they need to know is I ain't got time for this shit.

The Mountain Cat Jazz Quartet is playing a silly party and I need to get in one

more rehearsal.

That's all I got time to think about.

You think I'm deflected? Aren't you?

I visited my sister.

And somehow I wanted to tell her, but I guess ten years of

nothing between us was too much.

There you go.

Same time next week.

Come back.

All right.

All right. All

right.

Nice that you've met Mr. Higginbottle.

The founder of Black Sky Oil needs no introduction.

Leave it as Judge Richardson's son.

Bryce was just telling me that he's on the debate team.

Like my brother before me.

Sounds right.

In fact, Dr.

Fletcher's daughter and I are in the same class.

I had to debate her just yesterday.

Well, I bet you gave her a whooping.

Am I right?

Set her home crying.

In one year.

194 black men have been murdered by law enforcement.

It's open season.

Officers must adopt mandatory de -escalation procedures.

A black man has to recognize the risks involved when he goes outside.

There'd be no need for de -escalation by police if black men took that

responsibility on themselves.

With all due respect, Ms. Fletcher, that is a ridiculous infringement on my

right to be.

You have no idea what it's like to be a black man.

With all due respect, Mr. Richardson, you are not all black men.

In fact, you're not most black men.

Surely you're not suggesting that my background, which is much the same as

yours, makes me less black.

I'm merely debating the argument I was given.

I know that black men are systematically discriminated against.

Killed for holding a phone.

Killed if they don't resist.

Therefore, de -escalation only works if there are severe consequences for people

who pull the trigger and their commanders.

That's the point you should have made.

But you went personal, instead of presenting what would have been a more

point.

As a matter of fact, I was in the same situation myself, and I have sent

young ladies home crying.

Damn, you act like he killed somebody.

You're not even wearing a suit.

You're under arrest for the murder of Chantelle Brutard.

Cucumber helmet.

There's nothing for me here.

Mom, there's nothing but bad memories here.

You need a hand with that?

Oh, no.

No, it's okay. I got it.

Yeah, I see that.

Would you actually be doing me a favor if you let me at least pretend to help

out?

Okay.

Damn, you can afford equipment like this?

The marching band can.

I haven't seen her in a while.

That stuff going on.

I heard.

Really sorry for your loss.

Thanks.

So you practice another day?

Just doing your thing.

I'm all right.

You talked to Ebony lately?

I've been meaning to reach out.

I've just been so busy.

You? Yeah, she's good.

Might take a road trip. Go check on it.

Let me know if you want to roll.

Freshman.

While you're standing over here running your damn mouth, the whole quartet's dry

as hell.

Oh, bro.

Make it happen.

I'll take care of it.

Freshman. Can't even enjoy our break because of her lame ass.

For real?

For now.

Yeah, Shorty says you want to take a picture of us.

How about that? Why don't you attack me?

I don't need no more trouble.

You're popular.

Is it a gift and a curse?

I don't know why people are hating on the football team.

I mean, without you guys, maybe marching to empty stadiums.

You a fan?

I am.

I'm in the band.

I'm thinking about quitting, though. There's too much negativity.

Is that right?

God, yes.

The football team ain't shit.

One of those games was pure luck. Football team ain't nothing but pussy as

But old man's talking shit.

They do whatever Danny does.

Who?

The drink might drink.

What's up, man?

This lovely young lady here is Madison Kelly.

She just so happens to be my daughter's roommate.

Madison is an engineering major.

She had a 4 .3 GPA in high school and was a National Merit Scholar.

She chose a full scholarship here over other academic students.

I think excellence at this level attracts more academic standouts. The

used to choose are first.

What about you, Madison?

Did you choose Georgia A &M first?

Uh,

yes. Was that before or after you were offered a full scholarship?

To be honest, ma 'am, if I didn't get the scholarship, I wouldn't be here.

I'm not sure I'd be anywhere.

A National Merit Scholar with a 4 .3?

Believe it or not, that does not make me unique.

That makes you unique here, doesn't it?

Madison, thank you for spending so much time with us.

Why don't you go get yourself something to eat and enjoy the rest of the

evening? Thank you, Dr. Fletcher.

My stomach was starting to talk to me.

Nice meeting you, Miss Brown.

You as well.

You seem to have something on your mind, Mae.

Why, I guess I do.

When I was a student here, I was broke.

Never even bought a book.

I had to use the ones on reserve in the library, but I made it work.

I graduated near the top of my class.

So, as Atlanta Southern Bank's VP of Community Outreach, it is my job to help

them decide where their money can do the most good to serve the communities that

we're in.

And I'm not going to lie to you.

It is hard for me to recommend that we support you when that money might go to

giving Miss Madison a full ride.

Well, maybe we can, um...

Sit down and talk and figure out how to recruit more Mae Brown.

Maybe you can figure that out on your own.

Because we're out there.

You just have to be committed to finding us.

I will call you next week.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Gotta get going.

Nice party.

Thank you.

Ryan, where are you?

Party's almost over.

Yeah, you got to keep it swinging, man.

You got to keep it swinging.

Water.

You see us over here sweating like crazy.

Next time, make sure the waters are cold.

Got it.

By the way, I noticed that the frequency on your mic was set to 300, so we

headed to 450.

I thought I noticed the cleaning found from the monitor.

Yeah, your stormy weather solo sounded amazing.

Thanks, freshman.

Look at those guys.

I mean, they win a couple of games and think they're the Falcons.

Who cares?

They so used to losing, they can't help but overreact to a couple of lucky wins.

Still, I mean,

you'd think they'd give you a little bit more respect, but whatever, I... Nah,

freshman. You done already opened your mouth.

Spill it.

He called us geeks with rhythm.

I was trying not to listen, but one of them decided if a dude was willing to

an instrument in his mouth, no telling what else he'll put in it.

Oh, really?

That's when I got pissed.

Oh, lobster puff?

Thank you.

So that's Black Ivy.

In the flesh.

What happened to your plan to force her out?

Died on the vine.

Football teams started winning.

The marching band has been invited to play at the inauguration.

Turned it down, but still.

Google Scholars took second place at the Southeast Coding Challenge.

And suddenly nobody cared about a couple of girls swapping spit at a frat party.

Even Cecil don't care no more.

Told me he's got a plan of his own.

So tired of this shit.

Good luck.

Yeah. Yeah.

I think this belongs to you.

Why don't you use my favorite ink pen?

Chop, chop, gentlemen, or we'll be drinking warm champagne.

I am sorry,

gentlemen.

It appears I have wasted a fair amount of your good and valuable time. It was

not my intention to do so.

I truly thought I was ready to leave Georgia A &M.

I thought my work there was done.

And maybe it is, but I'm not done.

I've got two degrees from that school, and even when I left to pursue my Ph

I returned the very fall after I completed it.

I would have taken any job they offered me.

I still bleed burgundy and black.

I still believe my alma mater is where excellence is made.

Again, my apologies for any inconvenience I may have caused.

Thank you.

Again, thank you for coming out this evening.

I wanted to get a group of people together who have it in their hearts to

and know excellence when they see it.

Now, I'd like to think that I'm such a person, one who can spot genius.

And the young man that's coming to the mic proves that Georgia A &M University

recognizes the gifted in both academia and the arts.

Ladies and gentlemen.

One of our university's best and brightest.

Cedric Ha.

Chirac. Most highbrow individuals hate that name.

But until you've seen a body slain,

blown brains, toddlers, use the shields on this concrete battlefield, you

probably won't get it.

But me, I'm going to call a spade a spade, check the death rate.

Most is one race, so since it's not your kid, it's not your... So since it's not

your kid, it's not...

I don't know anything about this.

Richardson's are blue bloods. One way or another, you would end up right where

you are.

But y 'all don't hear me.

Chet.

Yo, I'm done being friendly. I'm finna be the menace that y 'all want me to be.

Why you judging me, B? I'm finna fold you like some pants with a pleat. So

please watch your mouth talking to me. And I know you couldn't wear my shoes

prepared for defeat.

You deceased.

I be the boss. Yeah, you only see seed. I'm spitting proper.

Man, y 'all worse than the coppers. Y 'all some fundraising posers. There'd be

lawyers and doctors and football team one game.

And y 'all think y 'all should stop us?

I'm finna do y 'all like Pac did Papa. Your prayers hella sour.

Float too cold, I be spittin' wearin' Eddie Bauer. Swear I don't even like the

school alone. Be complicated to swear something like a Rubik's tool.

And I hear y 'all got faith in this wack -ass Rubik's tool.

Oops, I made diamond, dude.

Swear that he be shinin' no time in these bars. Eat, they can't judge me.

God's creature. You be wonderin' till you hate.

From here on, I can't see you.

Now you see what I'm talking about.

Come on, man.

You

got

something to say about my band?

Me?

Okay, little man.

You didn't step out of my face and go play with your instruments.

Or yourself.

Just because you lucked into winning a couple of games don't mean shit around

here.

The marching mountain cats still win this.

Used to.

That's big talk.

From a man about to lose his spot to Casper, the friendly quarterback.

Let's go. Keep it moving.

Let's go. Get him out of here. Go.

Eva, I hate the porcelain on the world, but... I think you should see this.

Oh, my God.

So much for Queen Eva's perfect little party.

Why do you hate your mother so much? I don't hate her. She's my mother.

Ryan said he would be here, but now he's not answering his phone.

I don't know what to think.

I'm just trying not to think the worst.

I'm sure he's fine.

I bet he's going to call on you, Matt.

No, no, he knew how much I wanted him here. He wouldn't have just flaked.

Something must have happened.

See, this is why I hate being here.

No, what if he got into an accident?

What if he's in the hospital or dead on the side of the road? What if he just

stood you up?

I mean, what's more likely, that he's lying in a ditch somewhere, or that he's

doing a cake stand in some grungy -ass UGA frat house?

Thanks, Sid.

I feel a lot better.

So?

He's fine, right?

Sidney?

Hey, what's wrong?

Sidney?

Sid, please tell me what's wrong.

That's me.

Come here.

look like you, if I look like you, I kill my ugly ass self.

Embarrass me again and see if I don't choke the life out of you. Say another

word and I break every bone in your face.

Here's something to think about.

When you're verbally or physically violent with somebody, they're more

be violent with somebody else.

We become what we're taught to become.

So talk to a professional about your pain, disappointment, and your anger.

And almost every city and college campus has free counseling available. And it's

for anybody.

As a man, sometimes it's hard to ask for help.

What about this?

If you can't do it for yourself, do it for the person you might hurt if you

don't get help.

I'm Miles Stroder.

I'm Asia Lee.

And I'm Jake Allen.

Please visit BET .com slash shows slash the quad to find a list of websites and

phone numbers where you can get information for counseling.

Next Wednesday.

How would you like to be sexually assaulted and left there with your pants

around your ankle? Those cameras catch students hooking up in every corner of

this campus, and that's all they are, hookups. Y 'all don't think that was

Rough sex or rape. We don't know what's going on in that video.

Could have been how that girl liked it. If I ever hear of any one of you

sexually assaulting another student, the accused will be revealed.

You raved me, you folks. No, you didn't.

The Quad, all new next Wednesday at 10, only on BET.

How could you fire the chief without consulting anybody?

The man treated a rape video with the significance of a Groundhog Day report.

I'm on battle.

Where are you going to battle?

That clown.

Dude, what is your problem? Your pops never told you what went down between

and me? You mean when he helped you?

Helped me?

Ebony? You took my spot?

Why did we even bother discussing this if you were going to do whatever you

wanted to do anyway? I have to do... Well, I think it's right. It's a wonder

this school survived before you got here.

And how will we ever make it after you're gone?
