PREVIOUSLY ON "ALL AMERICAN"...

LAYLA: WHAT IF MY MOM

KILLED HERSELF?

I WAS GONNA BRAKE, BUT THERE WAS

A MOMENT WHERE I HESITATED.

I NEED HELP.

COREY: THIS GONNA BE OUR

LAST WEEKEND TOGETHER

AS A FAMILY.

DAD!

I'M THE 57th-RANKED

PLAYER IN THE COUNTRY,

BUT IT'S NOT

MAKING ME FEEL BETTER.

I'M NOT GONNA PLAY FOOTBALL

NO MORE.

IT WAS MY WAY

OF CONNECTING WITH YOU.

NOW IT JUST HURTS

TOO MUCH TO PLAY.

TYRONE: YOU THOUGHT YOU

WERE SMARTER THAN ME, HUH?

I PUT MY FAITH IN PEOPLE

LIKE SHAWN AND PREACH,

AND YOU TOOK THEM OUT.

-JUST BUSINESS.

-LAPD! DROP THE GUN!

COOP: I'LL SEE

YOU IN A MINUTE.

WHAT'S GOOD, COOP?

WHAT'S GOOD, TY?

[GUN COCKS]

BOUNCE UP OUT OF

HERE, COOP.

PROTECTING SNITCHES NOW?

THIS ABOUT ME AND YOU.

COOP AIN'T THE ONE

WHO SHOT ME.

I'LL LEAVE YOUR

DOG ASS STRETCHED

OUT RIGHT HERE.

YOU COULD,

BUT THAT PROBABLY AIN'T

THE BEST IDEA, THOUGH.

BECAUSE COOP WILL BE DEAD

BEFORE MY BODY EVEN COLD.

HOW THE HELL DID

TYRONE GET OUT?

MAN, I HAVE NO IDEA.

I CALLED MRS. BAKER

ON THE WAY OVER HERE,

AND NEITHER DOES SHE.

SHE SAID SHE

WOULD MAKE SOME CALLS.

ALL RIGHT. COOP, I KNOW

YOU STRESSING,

BUT YOU GOT TO CHILL,

ALL RIGHT? AT LEAST SIT DOWN.

BRO, I HAD THIS MAN

SET UP AND ARRESTED.

THERE'S NO WAY TYRONE

GONNA LET THIS SLIDE.

NOBODY LETTING NOTHING

HAPPEN TO YOU, ALL RIGHT?

FOR HOW LONG? I CAN'T

JUST KEEP LIVING MY LIFE

LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[KNOCK KNOCK]

YO, DID I MISS

SOMETHING?

'CAUSE I'M PRETTY

DAMN SURE SHOOTING

SOMEBODY 4 TIMES

AT POINTBLANK RANGE

EQUALS A HALF

LIFE SENTENCE.

IT IS, BUT I AIN'T

NO SNITCH.

YOU REFUSED

TO TESTIFY?

THEN THEY DROPPED

THE CHARGES AGAINST TYRONE.

LOOK, I'LL HANDLE

TYRONE IN THE STREETS.

COOP: OH,

I RISKED MY LIFE

FOR YOU AND

THIS NEIGHBORHOOD TO

HAVE HIS ASS PUT AWAY.

WHY NOT

KEEP HIM LOCKED UP?

'CAUSE THAT AIN'T

HOW I OPERATE.

SPENCER: THIS AIN'T JUST

ABOUT YOU, MAN.

I'VE BEEN OUT ON

THESE STREETS TOO DAMN LONG

TO LET SOME

TEENAGERS TELL ME

HOW TO HANDLE BUSINESS.

I JUST CAME HERE TO TELL

YOU THAT YOU AIN'T GOT

TO WORRY ABOUT TYRONE.

COOP: EASY FOR YOU

TO SAY.

YOU AIN'T THE ONE

THAT HAD HIS ASS

PUT AWAY.

WE CAME TO AN UNDERSTANDING.

AS LONG AS YOU

STAY ALIVE, SO DOES HE.

HE BREAKS THAT DEAL,

AND I'M PUTTING

4 BULLETS IN HIM.

HOLD UP. GRACE JAMES IS

MAKING AN APPEARANCE

IN THESE BEVERLY HILLS

STREETS?

HA HA! WHAT'S UP, MA?

YOU TELL ME.

I CAN BARELY GET YOU

ON THE PHONE LATELY,

SO I FIGURED I'D STOP BY.

YOU GOT TIME TO GRAB

A BITE AND CATCH UP?

OF COURSE. BUT CAN WE

GET IT TO GO?

I GOT TO WALK MY

NEIGHBOR'S DOG

IN AN HOUR.

SINCE WHEN DID YOU

BECOME A DOG WALKER?

THE MOMENT SHE TOLD ME

IT WAS $50 PER DOG.

LOOK, ME QUITTING

FOOTBALL WAS

A GAME CHANGER.

I GOT TO FIGURE

OUT A WAY TO PAY

FOR COLLEGE NOW,

SO I GOT A FEW

EXTRA SHIFTS HERE

AND SOME SIDE HUSTLES

GOING.

IT'S GONNA TAKE MORE THAN

THAT TO PAY FOR COLLEGE, SON.

BUT DON'T WORRY.

I'LL FIGURE IT OUT.

I WAS KIND OF HOPING

I COULD FIGURE OUT

THE COLLEGE THING

ON MY OWN.

YOU ALREADY GOT ME

AND DILLON

TO TAKE CARE OF,

NOT TO MENTION

DARNELL JUST MOVED IN.

BARE MINIMUM,

LET ME HELP YOU.

YOU SOUND LIKE DILLON.

HE JUST WON A CASH AWARD

FOR TOP MATHLETE.

HE INSISTED THAT I

KEEP IT.

HEY, THAT'S WHAT'S UP!

A MATHLETE?

-MM-HMM.

-WOW.

VAN NESS CHARTER'S

CHANGED A WHOLE LOT

SINCE I WENT THERE.

HE WON THE AWARD AT

BIG BROTHER'S CAMP.

I ENROLLED HIM LAST MONTH.

BUT HE ALREADY HAS

A BIG BROTHER.

WHY NOT COME TO ME?

BETWEEN SCHOOL AND WORK,

YOU GOT A LOT GOING ON,

SPENCER.

YOU CAN'T DO EVERYTHING.

THIS WAS MORE ABOUT

MISSING COREY.

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO

WITH YOU, OK?

HEY, THERE THEY ARE.

WOW. HE SEEMS

CHIPPER.

LIKE, MORE THAN "WE JUST WON

A GAME CHIPPER."

OLIVIA: YEAH,

SHOULD WE BE

CONCERNED?

100%.

YOU TWO DO KNOW

THAT I CAN HEAR YOU, RIGHT?

GET OVER HERE. COME ON.

SIT DOWN.

COME ON.

WAIT. IS THIS

ABOUT MOM?

IS SHE NOT VISITING

AUNT NAOMI BACK EAST?

NOPE. SHE IS.

WAIT. SO DID

YOU GUYS DECIDE

TO CALL OFF

THE SEPARATION

OR SOMETHING?

NO. WE HAVEN'T.

LOOK, WHY

DON'T YOU GUYS STOP

TRYING TO GUESS

AND JUST LET ME HAVE MY TURN?

CAN I SPEAK, PLEASE?

-SORRY.

-ALL RIGHT.

NOW, IF THERE'S ONE

THING THAT I LEARNED

FROM FAMILY THERAPY,

IT'S THAT WE NEED TO CREATE

SOME NEW MEMORIES,

SO SINCE I HAVE YOU BOTH

TO MYSELF THIS WEEKEND,

I THOUGHT WE'D START TODAY.

HOW ABOUT A MOVIE,

DINNER AFTERWARDS?

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

UM, YEAH,

SORRY, DAD.

I GOT TO TAKE

A RAIN CHECK.

I ALREADY MADE

PLANS WITH ASHER.

BUT NEXT TIME

FOR SURE.

OK. HAVE FUN.

ASHER? ARE THEY

A THING?

OH, YEAH. PET NAMES,

PDA, HEART EMOJIS.

IT'S GROSS.

HUH. OK.

WELL, I GUESS THAT

LEAVES YOU AND ME.

RIGHT. AH, I'M,

UH, SORRY. SORRY.

I'M ACTUALLY HELPING JJ

MENTOR YOUNG KIDS TODAY

AT HIS CHURCH, SO...

JJ GOES TO CHURCH?

OUR JJ?

YEAH. HE'S A YOUTH LEADER.

HUH. THOSE POOR KIDS.

I MEAN, UH,

GOD BLESS HIM.

RIGHT. UM, I GOT YOU

ON THE NEXT ONE, THOUGH.

-YEAH, MAN.

-ALL RIGHT? COOL.

BUGGS: I'M TELLING Y'ALL,

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS

THE GRAND REOPENING OF

BELLA NOCHE SKATING RINK

THIS WEEKEND.

BIG VIPER AND SLIM ROMAN

ARE HEADLINING

ALONG WITH LOCAL

CRENSHAW ARTISTS,

WHO'LL BE OPENING UP THE SHOW.

IT'S GONNA BE LIT.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

EXCUSE ME.

YOU GOT LOCAL ARTISTS

PERFORMING AT

THE BELLA NOCHE'S

REOPENING?

-YEAH.

-OH. HOW YOU AIN'T GOT ME...

IN THE EQUATION?

AND WHO ARE YOU?

I'M COOP.

OH, HO HO! YOU GOT

COOP'D, RIGHT?

YEAH.

OH. I SAW YOUR LAST VIDEO

DISSING OL' BOY.

I'M BUGGS.

NOW, YOU ALL GOT TO HAVE

ROOM FOR ANOTHER ARTIST.

I PROMISE YOU, I'LL

HAVE THEM FOLKS JUMPING

OUT THEY SKATES.

AND I'LL EARN MY SPOT,

WHATEVER IT TAKES.

LOOK, I'M THE HEAD

PROMOTER OF THE EVENT.

I GOT ONE MORE SLOT

TO FILL,

IF YOU CAN PULL

YOUR WEIGHT.

YOU BET.

WHAT DO I GOT TO DO?

I GOT 40 OF THESE

TICKETS LEFT TO SELL.

IF YOU CAN GET THEM OFF, I'LL

SQUEEZE YOU IN THAT SLOT.

COME ON, MAN.

THAT'S EASY.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING

I CAN DO, IT'S SELL

SOME $15 TICKETS.

-$100.

-$100? DAMN.

WHAT THEY COME WITH,

A CHAUFFEUR SERVICE?

IT INCLUDES

ADMISSION, SKATES,

AND AN INTIMATE CONCERT

WITH BIG VIPER. SLIM ROMAN,

AND POSSIBLY YOU.

[SCOFFS]

YOU TELLING ME YOU AIN'T

WORTH $100?

COOP?

UH, UM, MY BAD.

NAH, I'M--I'M IN.

I'M IN.

MY CELL'S ON THE BACK OF

THAT FLYER.

I NEED THE MONEY IN

24 HOURS, OR IT'S A WRAP.

ALL RIGHT. COOL.

MAKING NEW FRIENDS, COOP?

NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

ONE TIME FOR

THE MATHLETE CHAMP.

CONGRATULATIONS, D.

THANKS.

YOU BEEN GETTING

MY TEXTS, MAN?

I'VE BEEN BLOWING YOU UP.

I FIGURED I'D DO WHAT YOU

BEEN DOING TO ME LATELY--

TAKE 2 HOURS

TO HIT YOU BACK.

I'M SORRY, MAN.

I'VE BEEN WORKING LIKE

CRAZY TRYING TO STACK

MONEY FOR COLLEGE.

I DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE

TO CHECK MY PHONE.

HEY, LOOK, BUT I'M HERE

NOW, ALL RIGHT?

SO LET'S CELEBRATE.

YOU WANT TO HIT UP

YOUR FAVORITE ARCADE?

NOT WITH YOU.

GRACE: OK, THAT'S ENOUGH.

TAKE THOSE HEADPHONES

OFF, PLEASE, NOW.

GRACE: I'M NOT A FAN OF THIS

LITTLE ATTITUDE OF YOURS.

DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING

YOU WANT TO TELL US?

NO.

SPENCER: LOOK, YOU KNOW

YOU CAN ALWAYS TALK

TO US, RIGHT?

AND IT CAN BE ABOUT

ANYTHING.

JAYSTONIANS,

DARNELL MOVING IN,

DAD BEING GONE.

NO MATTER WHAT, ME

AND MOMS IS HERE FOR YOU.

YOU MEAN MOMS IS HERE

FOR ME, RIGHT?

BECAUSE YOU'RE NEVER

HERE ANYMORE.

BUT IT'S COOL.

I GOT A MENTOR NOW.

I DON'T NEED YOU.

FEEL FREE TO STAY

IN BEVERLY HILLS.

LAYLA: THAT'S THE THING

ABOUT PERFECTION.

EVERYONE HAS THEIR

OWN IDEA OF IT.

MY CLASSMATES WANTED

THE PERFECT StuCo PRESIDENT.

THE COLLEGES

WANT THE PERFECT STUDENT.

AND I THOUGHT I HAD TO BE

THE PERFECT DAUGHTER,

THE PERFECT

GIRLFRIEND--

WHY THE NEED TO

BE PERFECT?

EVERYONE THOUGHT I WAS,

SO I JUST CONVINCED

MYSELF IT WAS TRUE.

THAT'S THE WORST PART

ABOUT PERFECTION,

IS DISAPPOINTING YOURSELF

'CAUSE YOU'RE

THE ONE PERSON

YOU CAN'T ESCAPE.

AND WHEN I REALIZED

I WASN'T PERFECT,

I JUST DIDN'T FEEL

MOTIVATED

TO DO ANYTHING ANYMORE.

FEAR OF LETTING

PEOPLE DOWN?

FEAR OF NOT

BEING ENOUGH.

OK. WHAT ELSE?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,

WHAT ELSE?

LOOK, THAT'S THE BEAUTY

OF PEER GROUP.

THERE'S NO DOCTORS.

IT'S JUST US.

SHARE SOMETHING YOU'VE

NEVER SHARED BEFORE.

IT'LL HELP WITH WHATEVER'S

WEIGHING YOU DOWN.

I, UM, I DON'T THINK

THE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE

LOVE ME ENOUGH TO STAY.

MY MOM DIED, AND WAS

IT AN ACCIDENT?

OR DID SHE GIVE UP

ON HERSELF? ON ME?

WAS I NOT WORTH LIVING

FOR? I DON'T KNOW.

AND THEN MY DAD LEFT.

AND WHEN OUR HOUSE

WAS BROKEN INTO,

A HOUSE HE LEFT ME

TO LIVE IN ALONE,

HE STILL DIDN'T

COME BACK.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW,

HE'S HERE NOW,

AND HE'S TRYING.

I JUST FEEL LIKE IT'S

MORE OUT OF GUILT

THAN OUT OF LOVE.

THANKS FOR TRUSTING US

WITH SOMETHING

SO PERSONAL, LAYLA.

MAJOR GROWTH MOMENT.

[ALL SNAPPING FINGERS]

SPENCER: NO, FOR REAL,

THE WAY DILLON SNAPPED

AT ME REMINDED ME

OF MYSELF WHEN COREY LEFT.

I MEAN, MAYBE HE'S RIGHT.

MAYBE I DON'T KNOW HOW

TO BE A GOOD BROTHER

TO HIM NO MORE,

NOT TO MENTION HELP HIM

THROUGH THIS CRISIS.

HEY, WHEN WAS THE LAST

TIME DILLON HAD A WHUPPING?

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

LISTEN, MAN, HAVE YOU

BEEN A LITTLE BUSY LATELY?

MAYBE. BUT CAN'T

NOBODY DENY YOUR LOVE

FOR LITTLE MAN.

AND THE WAY I

SEE IT, HE'LL COME

AROUND EVENTUALLY.

HE'S STILL A KID.

HE'S JUST TRYING TO

NAVIGATE HIS WAY

THROUGH THE CHANGES

THAT HAPPEN IN HIS LIFE.

SPEAKING OF CHANGES...

WHAT?

MAN, YOU BETTER NOT TELL ME

YOU MESSED THINGS UP

WITH PATIENCE AGAIN.

MAN, HELL, NO.

I GOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO

PERFORM AT BELLA NOCHE.

-WHAT?!

-YEAH.

YOU SHOULD'VE LED

WITH THAT, FOOL.

BUT I GOT TO SELL

40 TICKETS.

ALL RIGHT. THAT'S NOTHING.

-THEY $100 EACH.

-DAMN. HEH! OK.

I MEAN, LOOK, THAT'S

STEEP, BUT I THINK WE

CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.

WHAT'S THE PART YOU'RE

NOT TELLING ME?

I DON'T KNOW, MAN.

IT'S LIKE, EVER SINCE

HE GOT OUT,

TYRONE HAS BEEN

RANDOMLY POPPING UP

EVERYWHERE I'M AT.

LIKE TODAY AT

THE SLAUSON CAFE.

IT'S GOT ME FEELING LIKE

I SHOULD LAY LOW

AND MAYBE EVEN GIVE

THIS DUDE

BACK HIS TICKETS.

-WHY? WHAT DID TY DO?

-NOTHING YET.

IT JUST FEELS LIKE,

"I KNOW WHAT YOU DID

LAST SUMMER" TYPE VIBE.

AND I DON'T LIKE THAT.

LOOK, TYRONE MADE

A DEAL WITH PREACH, RIGHT?

HE AIN'T TRYING TO DIE.

HE'S JUST TRYING TO

INTIMIDATE YOU.

YOU GOOD, COOP.

AND THIS GIG IS

A DREAM OPPORTUNITY.

YOU NEED TO FOCUS ON

MOVING FORWARD

WITH YOUR LIFE.

WELL, I DON'T WANT TO

BORE YOU

WITH ALL THE UPDATES

ON EVERYONE'S LIVES

ON THE OUTSIDE.

NO, LIV, I WANT TO HEAR,

I PROMISE.

UM, HOW'S--

HOW'S SPENCER?

UH, I'M A LITTLE

CONCERNED.

UH-OH. DETECTIVE LIV

ON THE LOOSE.

YOU GONNA SHAVE YOUR HEAD

AND PRETEND TO BE HIM, TOO?

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

I'M KIDDING.

I--NO. SPENCER'S

JUST BEEN WORKING

OVERTIME LIKE CRAZY.

I'M WORRIED HE'S

BURYING HIS FEELINGS

ABOUT QUITTING FOOTBALL.

WELL, YOU KNOW,

MAYBE WORK IS HIS WAY

OF FINDING HIMSELF.

YEAH, I CAN SEE THAT.

BUT, ANYWAY, UM, YEAH,

EVERYTHING ELSE IS GOOD.

EVERYONE'S JUST

REALLY MISSING YOU

ON THE OUTSIDE.

COULD YOU MAYBE STOP

SAYING "THE OUTSIDE"

LIKE I'M IN A PRISON?

YEAH.

[CHUCKLING]

SORRY.

I MISSED YOU.

I MISSED YOU, TOO.

YOU SEEM REALLY AMAZING.

WHEN ARE YOU COMING HOME?

UM, WE'LL SEE.

LAYLA, I THOUGHT YOU

SAID THEY CLEARED YOU

FOR OFF-CAMPUS VISITS,

BUT THIS IS

THE SECOND TIME

YOU HAD ME COME HERE

INSTEAD.

IS EVERYTHING OK?

YEAH. TOTALLY. UM,

IT'S JUST EASIER.

UH, ANYWAY,

I GOT TO GET GOING,

BUT I'LL SEE YOU SOON?

YEAH.

THANKS FOR COMING.

OLIVIA: HEY, I JUST

GOT YOUR TEXT.

COOP'S HAVING A CONCERT

TOMORROW NIGHT?

YEAH, IF WE CAN HELP

SELL OUR SHARE OF

THE TICKETS IN TIME.

FIGURE WE CAN GO

DOOR TO DOOR IN MY

NEIGHBORHOOD,

SPLIT THE TICKETS BETWEEN

ME, YOU TWO, AND DILLON.

YEAH. YEAH. I'M GAME.

I MEAN, I'LL ALREADY

BE THAT WAY DOING

COMMUNITY WORK

WITH KIA FOR SoLA MUSE.

AND ASHER'S MEETING

ME AFTERWARDS.

SO MAYBE THEY CAN

TAG ALONG AS WELL?

YEAH, BET.

I FIGURE THE MORE

PEOPLE WE HAVE,

THE FASTER WE CAN SELL

THOSE TICKETS.

BILLY: TICKETS TO WHAT?

COOP'S PERFORMING AT

BELLA NOCHE SKATING RINK

TOMORROW NIGHT.

THEY REOPENING

BELLA NOCHE?

MM-HMM.

BILLY: YO, THAT

USED TO BE MY SPOT

BACK IN THE DAY.

I HAD THESE TEAL BLUE

ROLLER SKATES,

HAMMER PANTS,

GUMBY HAIRCUT.

YOU COULDN'T TELL ME

NOTHING. MM.

THEN SKEE-LO's "I WISH"

WOULD COME ON.

MY SKATE MOVES WERE

SECOND TO NONE, BABY.

OHH, HA, UH. CROSS IT

OVER. CROSS IT OVER.

YOU HAD WHOSE PANTS?

AND WHAT EXACTLY

IS A GUMBY?

BILLY: YOU KNOW WHAT?

WE SHOULD GO

ROLLER-SKATING TOMORROW.

MY SKATES ARE AT

MY POP'S HOUSE.

I'LL SWING BY,

PICK THEM UP.

FOUR TICKETS, PLEASE,

SPENCER.

SHOOT. IF YOU COULDN'T GO

TO BELLA NOCHE,

WHERE ELSE COULD YOU GO?

HA HA!

YO, TWO LEFT. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

I'LL SEE YOU ALL TONIGHT.

WHAT THE HELL

YOU DOING?

WHAT DOES IT LOOK

LIKE I'M DOING?

I'M SELLING TICKETS.

FOR WHAT?

FOR A CONCERT TONIGHT

AT BELLA NOCHE.

ONE OF THE PROMOTERS

IS GIVING ME

A SLOT TO

PERFORM AS AN OPENING ACT

FOR BIG VIPER

AND SLIM ROMAN--

-IF I CAN SELL--

-WHO?

YOU'RE NOT HEARING

WHAT I'M SAYING?

-WHAT PROMOTER?

-HIS NAME IS BUGGS.

HOW DO YOU KNOW

HIM? HE LEGIT?

LOOK WHO WANT

TO PROTECT ME NOW.

YOU CAN'T BE GETTING

CAUGHT UP WITH FOLKS

THAT YOU DON'T KNOW

FROM A CAN OF PAINT.

LISTEN, WHAT I'M GONNA DO

IS GO ON ABOUT MY BUSINESS,

SELLING THESE TICKETS,

AND YOU GO ON ABOUT YOURS,

LETTING KNOWN KILLERS

ROAM THE STREET.

SO HOW WAS YOUR VISIT

WITH LAYLA?

GOOD. FINE.

THAT BAD, HUH?

SHE FLIP OUT WHEN SHE

FOUND OUT ABOUT YOU

AND ASHER OR WHAT?

I KIND OF DIDN'T TELL HER.

SHE'D DOING GREAT BUT

STILL SEEMS HESITANT

ABOUT HER RECOVERY,

AND I DON'T WANT TO SAY

ANYTHING THAT MIGHT

MAKE THINGS WORSE.

WELL, ISN'T TRANSPARENCY

PART OF RECOVERY?

I MEAN, YOU SHOULD JUST BE

HONEST WITH HER AND TELL

HER THE TRUTH, LIV.

DO I REALLY HAVE TO GO?

YEAH, MAN. COOP

IS DEPENDING ON US.

AND IT'LL GIVE ME

AND YOU A CHANCE

TO HANG OUT.

YOU CAN FINALLY TELL

ME WHAT'S REALLY

BOTHERING YOU.

AIN'T NOTHING

BOTHERING ME.

I USED TO SAY

THE SAME THING, DILLON.

WOW. I LOVE

HOW YOU QUIT FOOTBALL

AND EVERYBODY'S FINE WITH IT.

BUT AS SOON AS I SPEAK

SOMETHING FROM MY OPINION

ABOUT ANYTHING,

I'M A PROBLEM.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[OLIVIA CLEARS THROAT]

-HEY, BABE.

-HEY.

ALL RIGHT.

THE SQUAD'S ALL HERE.

WE APPRECIATE

YOU, MAN.

ASHER: YEAH, NO PROBLEM.

SO WHAT'S THE PLAN?

KIA: DIVIDE

AND CONQUER.

NOPE. NOPE. MM-MM. NOPE.

NOT PLAYING THE THIRD

WHEEL TO THE ASHER-LIV

REALITY SHOW TODAY. SORRY.

SPENCER: DON'T EVEN

LISTEN TO HIM, ASH,

ALL RIGHT?

YOU CAN ROLL WITH

ME AND DILLON.

SO YOU AND OLIVIA ARE

A THING NOW, RIGHT?

LIKE FOR REAL,

FOR REAL?

ASHER: YEAH.

YOU BETTER TREAT

HER RIGHT

BECAUSE AS SOON

AS I TURN 18,

SHE'LL BE THE FIRST

PERSON I CALL.

YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA

HAVE A FIGHT ON

YOUR HANDS, THOUGH.

-OK. ALL RIGHT...

-ALL RIGHT.

ASHER: IF YOU'RE COOL

WITH THAT, MAN.

-OH, YEAH, I'M COOL.

-HA HA!

WOMAN: YOU WERE ON FIRE

IN PEER GROUP TODAY.

THAT'S TWO DAYS IN A ROW.

I'M PROUD OF YOU.

WELL, IF YOU HAD TOLD ME

3 WEEKS AGO THAT I

WOULD BE SPILLING

MY GUTS TO A ROOM OF

COMPLETE STRANGERS,

I WOULD'VE TOLD YOU

YOU WERE LYING.

HONESTLY, YOU

SURPRISED ME, TOO.

I DIDN'T KNOW

IF YOU'D OPEN UP.

WHAT MADE YOU PUSH?

I SEE A LOT OF

MYSELF IN YOU.

I JUST WENT WITH MY GUT.

I FELT LIKE THERE WAS

MORE THERE.

I HAVE A CONFESSION.

MY TREATMENT

PROGRAM'S DONE.

I'M LEAVING TOMORROW.

UM, I'M HAPPY FOR YOU.

I DIDN'T SAY

ANYTHING SOONER

BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT

TO UPSET YOU AND STALL

YOUR PROGRESS.

IT JUST WON'T BE

THE SAME WITHOUT YOU.

LAYLA, YOU'RE DOING

AWESOME.

[CHUCKLES]

ARE YOU READY TO

GO BACK OUT INTO

THE REAL WORLD?

AREN'T YOU NERVOUS?

OF COURSE.

WHEN YOU'VE BEEN HERE

FOR SO LONG,

IT FEELS WEIRD

GOING BACK.

WE HAVE TO EVENTUALLY, RIGHT?

COOP: ALL RIGHT, DILLON.

LET'S GO.

WE GOT ONE MORE

TICKET TO SELL,

AND AIN'T NOBODY

GONNA SAY NO TO A KID

WITH A HEAD THAT BIG

AND FEET THAT LONG. HA HA!

ASHER: YOU

BETTER GET HER.

HEY, MAN, IS IT

JUST ME,

OR ARE THINGS

A LITTLE TENSE BETWEEN

YOU AND DILLON?

NAH, IT AIN'T JUST YOU, MAN.

EVER SINCE I QUIT FOOTBALL

AND BEEN WORKING OVERTIME,

I AIN'T BEEN AROUND

AS MUCH.

DILLON'S KIND OF

STRUGGLING WITH THAT.

YOU MISS IT? FOOTBALL?

PSSH. MAN, I

CAN'T EVEN FRONT.

THERE'S PARTS OF IT

I DO MISS.

HANGING IN THE LOCKER ROOM

WITH YOU ALL,

ROAD TRIPS ON THE BUS.

ANYWAY, THIS YOUR

TIME NOW, BRO.

YOU THE CAPTAIN NOW, AND

YOU GOT TO LEAD THAT TEAM

BACK TO ANOTHER 'SHIP.

I APPRECIATE

THE LOVE, MAN.

HEY, IF YOU EVER

DECIDE TO COME BACK,

YOUR JERSEY WITH

THE CAPTAIN'S PATCH

WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU.

[DILLON GRUNTS]

HEY, AREN'T YOU

THE SAME DUDE

THAT DIDN'T EVEN WANT

SPENCER AT BEVERLY?

IT'S CALLED GROWTH,

LITTLE HOMIE.

COOP: ALL RIGHT.

LAST TICKETS SOLD.

IT'S OFFICIAL.

YOUR GIRL'S

PERFORMING TONIGHT.

THERE YOU GO.

CONGRATS.

HEY, WE GOT TO CELEBRATE.

LET'S HIT SMITTY'S.

I'M BUYING.

BRO, SMITTY'S

BEEN CLOSED

A LONG TIME AGO.

THEY CHANGED IT

TO SOME SPOT CALLED

BUNCH-O FRO-YO.

GENTRIFICATION'S HITTING

US LIKE THAT NOW?

YOU'D KNOW IF YOU'D

BEEN HERE.

COOP: ALL RIGHT. LOOK.

I GOT TO GET GOING,

TURN THIS MONEY IN.

SO I'LL CATCH UP

ALL RIGHT.

♪ IT FEELS

SO EASY JUST FOR ME TO... ♪

ASHER: HEY, WHAT WAS

THIS PLACE CALLED?

SPENCER: SMITTY'S. BUT NOW

IT'S BUNCH-O FRO-YO.

OLIVIA: NO, WE'RE

BIG COOKIE AND A PINT--

KIA: ICE CREAM

POURED ON TOP...

ASHER: HEY.

JORDAN: WHAT'S UP?

HEY, GET AS MUCH

AS YOU WANT, DILLON.

OLIVIA: YES. OK.

OK, WE'RE GETTING

ONE OF THESE. AND THEN...

SPENCER: HEY, UH, I'M

PAYING FOR EVERYBODY.

OLIVIA: WHAT?

JORDAN: THANKS, SPENCE.

SO YOU'RE BIG-TIME NOW?

WHAT? NAH.

JUST TAKING CARE OF

EVERYBODY

FOR LOOKING OUT

TODAY.

SO THE EXTRA MONEY FOR

COLLEGE IS WHAT, A LIE?

THAT'S ENOUGH,

ALL RIGHT? STOP IT.

I'VE BEEN GIVING YOU

A PASS ALL DAY,

BUT I'M DONE,

YOU HEAR ME?

YOU NOT THE ONLY PERSON

WHO LOST SOMEBODY,

DILLON.

SPENCE, CHILL.

I'M SORRY, D.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO TALK

FORGET THIS.

DILLON, LISTEN, MAN.

OLIVIA: IT'S OK.

WE'LL--WE'LL

IT'S ALL GOOD. GO GET

ANOTHER ONE. GO ON.

OLIVIA: NAPKINS?

ASHER: COME ON, MAN.

I GOT YOU. I GOT YOU.

CAN I GET A NAPKIN, PLEASE?

OWNER: YOU KNOW WHAT?

JUST LEAVE IT.

IT'S FINE.

NO, IT'S ALL GOOD.

MY APOLOGIES. I GOT THIS.

ACTUALLY, I THINK

IT'S TIME FOR ALL

OF YOU TO LEAVE.

[CHUCKLES WEAKLY]

OLIVIA: WHAT?

WE JUST GOT HERE?

OWNER: WELL, AS THE OWNER,

I RESERVE THE RIGHT

TO DISMISS YOU FROM

THE PREMISES. SO...

-SERIOUSLY?

-YEAH.

WE'RE PAYING CUSTOMERS.

I TOLD MY BROTHER

I'M BUYING HIM FRO-YO,

I'MA BUY HIM FRO-YO.

JUST PLEASE GO,

ALL RIGHT?

I DON'T WANT TO HAVE

ANY PROBLEMS WITH

YOU PEOPLE.

US PEOPLE?

YOU MEAN THE BLACK PEOPLE

YOU JUST MOVED INTO?

[SIGHS]

YOU KNOW WHAT? LET'S BOUNCE.

THIS IS THE LAST TIME

YOU'RE GONNA EVER GET

OUR MONEY. TAKE IT.

LET'S ROLL.

ASHER: YOU OK?

OLIVIA: YEAH, I'M FINE.

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE

SHE KICKED US OUT.

BELIEVE IT.

CHICKS LIKE HER

ARE BECOMING

THE NEW NORMAL.

JORDAN: UM, SO HOW'S

THE FRO-YO, KID?

I JUST WANT TO GO HOME.

OK. LET'S GO. COME ON.

[VEHICLE APPROACHES,

POLICE RADIO TRANSMISSIONS]

SPENCER: COME ON.

WE NEED TO SEE SOME I.D.

MAY I ASK WHY?

OFFICER: ACCORDING TO

THE OWNER OF BUNCH-O's,

A PERSON FITTING

YOUR DESCRIPTION

WAS LOITERING

AND CAUSING

DISORDERLY CONDUCT.

LOITERING?

KIA: YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER

THAT QUESTION, SPENCE.

I'VE ALREADY COMMITTED

THEIR NAMES AND BADGE

NUMBERS TO MEMORY.

OFFICERS BRIGHT

AND WHITNER.

WHITNER: A LOT OF GANGS

CONGREGATE IN THIS AREA.

ARE YOU IN ONE?

SPENCER: GO STAND NEXT

TO JORDAN, DILLON. GO ON.

LOOK, THE OWNER STRAIGHT

PROFILED US, OK?

WE DIDN'T DO NOTHING WRONG.

BUT YOU DID GET INTO

A FIGHT IN THE STORE.

AN ARGUMENT WITH MY

LITTLE BROTHER.

DOESN'T

MEAN I'M IN A GANG.

IT DOESN'T MEAN

YOU AREN'T.

-CAN WE GO NOW?

-HEY, WATCH YOUR TONE.

THIS IS UNNECESSARY,

OFFICER.

STEP ASIDE, SON.

THIS DOESN'T CONCERN YOU.

NOW, I'M GONNA ASK YOU ONE

MORE TIME. WHERE'S YOUR I.D.?

SPENCER: WAIT. WAIT. WAIT.

NO, NO, NO!

NO!

DON'T RUN, YOU HEAR ME?

YOU DON'T EVER RUN.

COME ON. COME ON. LET'S GO.

BRIGHT: NO ONE'S LEAVING

TILL YOU FINISH

ANSWERING OUR QUESTIONS.

YOUR PARTNER ALMOST

PULLED A GUN OUT ON US!

WE EITHER FINISH

THIS HERE,

OR WE TAKE THIS

TO THE POLICE STATION.

LOOK, MAN, CAN YOU

PLEASE LET MY FRIENDS

TAKE MY LITTLE

BROTHER HOME?

HE DON'T NEED TO BE

SEEING ALL THIS.

EVERYBODY IS

STAYING PUT.

WHY HAVEN'T YOU

READ US OUR RIGHTS?

WHITNER: 'CAUSE YOU'RE

NOT IN CUSTODY.

EXACTLY, WHICH SHOULD

MAKE US FREE TO GO.

ARE SPENCER AND KIA

GOING TO JAIL?

ASHER: NO, NO, BUDDY.

THEY'RE JUST ASKING

THEM SOME QUESTIONS.

JORDAN: THIS IS

ABSOLUTELY CRAZY.

OLIVIA: THOSE ARE

MY FRIENDS ON THE CURB.

YOU COULD STOP THIS,

YOU KNOW?

WHAT'S GOING ON

HERE?

-REGGIE BRIGHT.

-BILLY BAKER.

YOU KNOW HIM, COACH?

YEAH. YEAH. WE WENT

TO SOUTH CRENSHAW

TOGETHER.

YOU KNOW THESE KIDS?

THE KIDS THAT YOU'RE

RACIALLY PROFILING?

HELL, YEAH, I KNOW 'EM.

NOW, WHAT'S GOING ON?

NOBODY'S BEING

RACIALLY PROFILED.

WE'RE JUST ANSWERING A CALL.

YEAH, I KNOW.

MY DAUGHTER TEXTED ME.

LOOK, YOU KNOW

THESE KIDS ARE GOOD.

THEY DIDN'T DO

NOTHING WRONG.

BRIGHT: WE'RE JUST BEING

EXTRA CAUTIOUS.

KIDS HAVE CHANGED AROUND

HERE SINCE YOU ESCAPED

TO BEVERLY HILLS.

SINCE I ESCAPED?

OK, LOOK HERE.

YOU CAN EITHER RELEASE

THESE KIDS IMMEDIATELY,

OR MY WIFE AND I WILL

SUCCESSFULLY SUE YOUR

ENTIRE DEPARTMENT,

AND THEN WE'LL MAKE

SURE BOTH YOUR ASSES

ARE STUCK BEHIND A DESK

FOR THE REST OF YOUR

NATURAL BORN LIVES.

DO YOU FEEL ME?

YEAH. THAT'S HOW WE DO

IT BEVERLY HILLS STYLE,

REGGIE.

-I CAN'T.

LAYLA, I'M SO SORRY.

[CARRIE SOBBING]

HOW'S DILLON?

HE'S STILL A LITTLE

BIT SHAKEN UP,

BUT HE'LL BE FINE.

A GOOD, NICE REST

SHOULD DO THE TRICK.

I'M SORRY, MA.

I WAS JUST TRYING

TO MAKE DILLON

FEEL BETTER.

INSTEAD, I MADE

EVERYTHING WORSE.

YOU'RE NOT THE ONE

THAT NEEDS TO BE SORRY.

WAIT TILL I GET

MY HANDS ON THAT

FRO-YO WOMAN.

-OFFICER BRIGHT?

-I KNOW.

YOU KIDDING ME?

MM-HMM.

I NEVER LIKED HIS

ASS IN HIGH SCHOOL.

HE WAS SUCH A--UGH.

MM-HMM. HE STILL IS.

-I'M GONNA CHECK ON DILLON.

-NO, NO, NO, NO. I GOT IT.

YOU NEED TO GO

TO COOP'S SHOW.

I AIN'T REALLY IN THE WHOLE

PARTY VIBE RIGHT NOW.

NO, NO. DON'T GIVE

THAT WOMAN OR THOSE

COPS THAT POWER.

YOUR MOM IS RIGHT.

YOU SHOULD GO OUT.

BAD-ASS, TOO.

I DIDN'T DO THAT MUCH.

YOU CALLED THE OWNER

YOU SPOKE UP.

YEAH, 'CAUSE SHE TRIED

TO BLOW UP OUR LIVES

THE SAME WAY

BARBECUE BECKY DID.

UM...

CRENSHAW CATHY.

OOH.

YES. YES, YOU WIN.

IT'S CRAZY.

YOU HEAR ABOUT

THE BARBECUE BECKYs

AND THE DOORMAN DAVEs

OF THE WORLD, AND YOU THINK

YOU KNOW HOW BAD IT IS,

BUT THE TRUTH IS, UNTIL

TODAY, I HAD NO IDEA.

I GUESS WE GOT TO GET

OUT OF OUR BEVERLY HILLS

BUBBLE MORE OFTEN.

YEAH, I GUESS SO.

LAYLA: WHERE ARE

YOU GOING NOW?

LAGUNA NIGUEL.

IT'S A MORE RESTRICTIVE

TREATMENT CENTER.

I WASN'T TRYING

TO CUT MYSELF.

I WAS JUST--

TOO SCARED TO GO HOME.

YOU KNEW IF THEY

CAUGHT YOU WITH ALCOHOL,

THEY WOULD MAKE YOU STAY

IN REHAB LONGER.

SO YOU MADE SURE THAT

THEY CAUGHT YOU.

HOW DID YOU KNOW?

I'M SOMEONE WHO'S SUFFERED

FROM SELF-HARMING.

WE TRY TO HIDE OUR

INJURIES, NOT AMPLIFY THEM.

AND YOU CAUSED

A BIG DISTURBANCE.

YOU KNOW HOW YOU SAID

YOU SEE YOURSELF IN ME?

I SEE MYSELF IN YOU, TOO.

WE GOT BETTER IN HERE.

WE KNOW HOW TO MAKE

IT WORK IN HERE,

BUT OUT IN THE REAL WORLD,

THERE'S NO GUARANTEES.

AND THAT PETRIFIES ME.

I KNOW THAT'S WHY YOU

SABOTAGED YOURSELF

INTO STAYING IN

THE COMFORT OF REHAB.

AND IT IS WHY

I HAVE DECIDED

TO CHECK MYSELF OUT

TOMORROW.

I NEED TO TAKE THIS STEP

FOR BOTH OF US,

TO PROVE THAT WE CAN MAKE

IT IN THE REAL WORLD.

ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE READY?

NO. BUT LIKE MY

THERAPIST SAYS,

YOU ARE NEVER FULLY

PREPARED FOR ANYTHING.

YOU JUST HAVE TO TAKE

A LEAP OF FAITH

AND REMEMBER THAT

HEALING IS CONSTANT.

YOU KNOW,

ONE STEP AT A TIME.

AND WHENEVER YOU'RE

READY TO MAKE THAT STEP,

JUST KNOW YOU HAVE

A FRIEND ON THE OUTSIDE.

OK?

EVERYTHING GOOD WITH COOP?

YEAH.

YEAH. SHE SAID

SHE'LL EXPLAIN LATER.

I'MA TAKE HER AT HER WORD.

HEY, THANKS FOR HAVING

MY BACK WITH THE COPS

TODAY, ALL RIGHT?

COME ON, MAN. ALWAYS.

OK.

HOW WAS DILLON

AFTERWARDS?

I JUST WISH I COULD SPEND

MORE TIME WITH HIM,

BUT BETWEEN WORK

AND SCHOOL,

THERE'S JUST NOT ENOUGH

HOURS IN THE DAY.

SO YOU REMEMBER

HOW MUCH I LOVE

"THE GREAT

DEBATERS," RIGHT?

HA HA. OH, YOU MADE

ME WATCH THAT MOVIE

AT LEAST A THOUSAND TIMES.

OK. IT'S ONE OF THE

MAIN REASONS I JOINED

THE DEBATE CLUB.

-YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

-UNCLE FLIP IS THE OTHER.

FLIP? FOR REAL?

THE MAN IS BRILLIANT.

BEFORE HE SERVED TIME,

HE TAUGHT ME THE ART

OF DEBATING.

AND REAL TALK,

HE'S THE BEST COACH

I'VE EVER HAD.

DAMN.

THAT TIME TOGETHER

REALLY BONDED

ME AND HIM FOR LIFE.

MY POINT--

MEMORIES MATTER, SPENCER.

FIND THE TIME FOR DILLON

REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT TAKES.

YOU GUYS NEED EACH OTHER,

ESPECIALLY NOW WITH

YOUR DAD GONE.

[UNLOCKS GATE]

HEY, THANKS AGAIN

FOR TONIGHT.

IT'S BEEN A MINUTE

SINCE WE HUNG

LIKE THIS.

I GUESS I NEVER

REALIZED THE POWER

OF MEMORIES.

I KNOW. CRAZY, RIGHT?

YEAH.

I MISS THIS.

NOBODY'S HOME FOR

A FEW HOURS.

[CHUCKLES]

WHAT'S UP, PREACH?

YOU WAS RIGHT.

I GOT PLAYED.

BUGGS TOOK ALL THE MONEY

I RAISED SELLING TICKETS.

I MEAN, I GOT TO GET

THAT MONEY BACK.

YOU THINK YOU COULD JUST

ROLL WITH ME THROUGH THERE?

I JUST NEED A LITTLE BACKUP.

BUT EARLIER WHEN I

TRIED TO WARN YOU

ABOUT DUDE, I WAS

THE BASTARD WHO

LET A MURDERER

WALK FREE, RIGHT?

THIS YOUR PROBLEM.

YOU CLEAN IT UP.

I GOT MY OWN STUFF

TO HANDLE.

[LINE CONNECTING]

[CLEARS THROAT]

HEY. HEY, UH, I WAS JUST

CHECKING IN. YOU GOOD?

ALWAYS. YOU?

YEAH. SO, LISTEN,

ABOUT LAST NIGHT.

SPENCER, WE GOT LOST

IN THE MOMENT,

AND IT JUST HAPPENED.

NO BIG DEAL, RIGHT?

RIGHT. SO WE GOOD?

YEAH. WE GOOD.

FOR REAL, LIKE WE

SAID YESTERDAY.

THERE'S

POWER IN MEMORIES.

ESPECIALLY THE GOOD ONES.

-GOOD MORNING, SPENCER.

-GOOD MORNING.

HEY.

WHAT'S UP, LITTLE MAN?

NOTHING MUCH.

WHAT'S UP WITH YOU?

YOU READY TO COME TO

WORK WITH ME TODAY?

SORRY. I CAN'T.

GOT TO GO TO CAMP.

I KNOW. THAT'S MY NEW JOB.

[DILLON CHUCKLES]

WAIT. WHAT?

I DITCHED WORKING SUNDAYS

IN EXCHANGE FOR

VOLUNTEER WORK AT

YOUR BIG BROTHER CAMP.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE

MONEY FOR COLLEGE?

THE ONLY THING THAT

MATTERS RIGHT NOW IS YOU.

AND, LOOK, I KNOW IT'S HARD

WITH DAD BEING GONE.

AND THERE'S NOTHING

I CAN DO

ABOUT THE MEMORIES YOU

WON'T GET TO MAKE WITH HIM.

BUT THERE IS SOMETHING I

CAN DO ABOUT THE MEMORIES

YOU AND I CAN MAKE

TOGETHER AS BROTHERS.

SO LET ME

CLARIFY THIS.

MY BIG BROTHER IS

ABOUT TO BECOME

MY BIG BROTHER?

YUP.

COOL.

HEY. YOU'RE UP EARLY.

YEAH. I NEVER QUITE SLEPT.

I'VE BEEN PUTTING

MY NEW PODCAST TOGETHER.

PODCAST?

IT'S A SCHOOL THING?

UH, MORE OF A LIFE THING.

PEOPLE LIKE CRENSHAW CATHY

NEED TO BE EXPOSED

FOR THE HARM THEY CAUSE.

AND MORE THAN THAT,

PEOPLE AROUND HERE

NEED TO UNDERSTAND

THE INJUSTICES THAT ARE

GOING ON AND WHAT

THEY CAN DO TO HELP.

OK, SHAUN KING.

I'M CALLING MY PODCAST

"LIV THE TRUTH."

I MEAN, WHETHER IT'S

POLICE BRUTALITY

OR RACIAL INEQUALITY

OR WHATEVER,

I'M PUTTING IT ON BLAST.

HUH.

I'M TIRED OF LIVING IN THIS

BEVERLY HILLS BUBBLE

WHILE THE REST OF THE WORLD

CRUMBLES AROUND US.

I LOVE IT.

-YEAH?

-YEAH.

BILLY: NOT TOO MANY

PEOPLE COULD TAKE

SOMETHING SO TRAUMATIC

AND TURN IT INTO

SOMETHING POSITIVE.

I'M PROUD OF YOU.

THANKS, DAD.
