♪♪ You lookin' at the great
with the say so ♪♪

There you go.
There you go. Nice job.

Here we go.

Spencer, voice-over: Every
high school kid with a dream

of going to the NFL
will tell you

them 10,000 hours
starts young...

Jordan: All right.
There you go.

Spencer, voice-over:
back home on the block

or on the pee-wee field
or in the school gym.

There you go, there you go,
there you go.

Spencer, voice-over:
"By any means necessary"

becomes our daily mantra.

"Pushing to the limit,"
"pressure," "sacrifice."

These are all words we become
very familiar with,

and if we're lucky,
along the way, we find someone

who believes that dream
can be a reality for us--

a parent, an unc, a coach.

Oh, come on, guys.
Come on.

My beautiful wife at home
can go

a whole hell of a lot
harder than this.

Hey, do not make me
clown you online

like I did last week.
Come on, let's go. Earn it!

All right, J.B.

That's a whole lot
of talk for a brother

with a clipboard
and a whistle.

Oh! OK.

Is that a "sha-lon-jah"
I hear?

Come on, let's go.
Me and you. Line it up.

Spencer, voice-over: Someone
there to help us navigate

the ups and downs of life.

Someone who won't let up until

we've made it across
that finish line

and our improbable
childhood dream...

is finally our reality.

Come on, boy.

-Ah!
-Ooh!

[Breathing heavily]

Oh, man.

I almost had you,
old man.

You say something?
I can't hear you

over the sounds
of victory.

OK, I see
what we're doing.

That's cold, Dad.
That's cold.

I don't know.
Looked pretty close to me.

Thank you, Mom.
I can always

count on you
to keep it 100.

Cassius: Oh, that's just because
I slowed down at the end.

See, I didn't want to
completely embarrass our son.

That's what it is.
Ava: Right, right.

Of course.
Cassius: Give me that phone.

-[Laughs]
-Give me the phone.

Give me the phone.
You play too much.

-[Laughs]
-Give me the--

KJ: All right.
You know what?

I'm gonna let
you two lovebirds

enjoy your last day
in L.A.

I'm gonna go kick it one
last time with the homie Yasi.

Ava: Who?
KJ: Yasi, Mom. The guy

I met at football camp.

Oh, right.
Two weeks

and he's already
the homie.

I mean, yeah.
Two weeks of Coach Payne

whooping our asses
on the field--

I mean, butts
on the field.

Ma, we're bonded
for life.

So, you got
a taste of that

D1 QB life.

You still want it?

Seriously? I want
this more than ever.

All right. I'ma see y'all
back at the hotel.

KJ, hold up
a second.

Yes, I know.
I know.

We're headed back
to Oakland tomorrow,

so, I won't be out
too late. Peace.

[Ava chuckles]

Cassius, let him go.

Let him have tonight.

[Indistinct chatter]

Jordan: Come on, man.

You tired of me schooling you
yet or what, huh?

Coach Bobby: I didn't realise
lifts was such a party.

Coach. Hey.

Yeah, you know
the guys finished up.

Figured I'd just let 'em

blow off some steam,
you know?

Well, let's hope
that it's still a party

when Inglewood
hands us our ass

in our first game,
since y'all don't

want to take
nothing seriously.

Hit the showers.

Coach...

You do realise
that you're their coach

and not their
teammate, right?

Of course I do. Yeah.

Then act like it.

[Exhales sharply]

Coop: Ooh. OK, girl.

you got one hell of an eye
for interior decor.

I can't even believe
this was Spencer's room.

Yeah, well, I can't
believe my dad

didn't trust me alone
for 48 hours.

Come on, you're still
sulking over that?

I'm 16.

It wouldn't matter if
you was 32 years old.

Your pop's still going to
worry about you, Amina.

Yeah, right. Whatever.

-Ma'am?
-Sorry.

Thank you.

Oh, no, no, no.
That box is for charity.

I'm going for a more
mature vibe in here.

OK. Well, besides,
how do you know

that I didn't volunteer
to hang out with you

because I love you?

Of course.

You just
really wanted to spend

your Friday night on my couch

watching "Grease 2."

First of all,
"Grease 2" is a classic.

Second of all,
it's not your couch.

that's Ms. Grace's.

You're just renting it.

And third, why
are you in such a hurry

to grow the hell up?

The thing is, I'm not.
I just am grown

and need my dad
to see me that way.

So, this has nothing to do
with a certain wannabe thug

that you was
Insta-stalking

throughout the whole
movie last night?

Khalil? What? No.

-He and I are just friends...
-Mm-hmm.

and he is not
a wannabe thug.

Well, somehow
you just knew

exactly who
I was talking about.

-Here.
-[Giggles]

Jordan: Talking about
"Just act like it."

I mean, you would think I was

popping bottles with the guys

the way Coach Bobby
is reacting,

which is insane,
because he's the one

that pursued me
for this job.

Well, you guys
just have different

coaching styles,
that's all.

Oh, can you believe
"Anonymous" is a real colour?

I mean, I was
just these guys

a couple years ago, babe,
right, which is good.

Like, we get each other.

They can open up to me.

I just don't understand why
he's not taking advantage

of that situation
as opposed to

penalising me
for my youth.

Look, maybe he
just wants you

to have boundaries.

Have you tried talking
to him about it?

Oh, here we go.
[Chuckles]

Besides, whenever it's time
for my guys to lock in,

they do exactly that.
They lock in.

OK, they are on,
ready to go.

They don't need me
yelling at them

for some fake
motivation.

I'm right about
all of this, right?

Oh, oh, so you were
talking to me.

OK, because
talking to someone

usually also
involves listening

and not trading jokes in
the comments with your players

about how they were
"schooled by this old man

in the gym this morning.
#tuff."

Jordan, why do they even
have access to your socials?

What do you mean?
It's public. Everyone does.

And I--I was
listening to you.

Oh, really?
Really. OK.

What colour is this,
this one?

That--That--That one
is the one that we will

not be repainting
our house with.

It's Anonymous,
Jordan,

and I knew you
weren't listening.

OK, listen.
I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, all right?
You're right.

I wasn't listening,
and I apologise, OK?

But I'm listening now, OK?
So, talk to me.

Why are we repainting
our kitchen,

especially when you
hate redecorating?

I don't know.
I'm just trying to find

a way for us to put
our stamp on the house

now that it's ours.

Oh. I mean,
I can think of

a few ways we could

put our stamp
on this house.

-Jordan.
-If you want.

I--[Laughs]

Come here.

Have we christened
this room yet?

Mm...you know, maybe,
but I'm not sure.

We should probably just
do it again just to be safe.

Yeah.
[Chuckles]

[Car horn honking]

What the hell
was that?

-Uh, it was, uh, the guys.
-Jordan.

The guys, the--

We're supposed to
grab a bite to eat...

-The guys.
-before the QB session today.

-Mm.
-So...

I'm just gonna let them know
that that's not happening.

-That's right.
-Yeah. It's not happening today,

'cause why would
that happen?

[Sighs]

Cassius.

Huh.

What was all that at the beach
this morning, then? Hmm?

Don't. Just...

Don't make this any harder
than it needs to be.

That was for KJ.

Right. Right.

We're getting real good
at that charade, huh?

OK. Can we just...

Look, the whole reason
that I flew down here today

was so that
we could figure out

how to tell KJ
together.

And what if I don't want
to tell him, Ava?

What if, instead,
I want to fight for my wife?

-Cassius, you agreed.
-Yeah, I agreed,

because you're miserable.

OK. I agreed because
there's only so many times

a man can reach
for his wife

just to watch her
shrink away.

Great. Is that what you're
going to tell KJ tonight?

That it's my fault?

You know what?

I'm not going to
tell him a damn thing.

You want this
separation, Ava?

You want to upend
our boy's life?

You tell him.

[Door opens and closes]

KJ: Oh.
Oh, OK, Yasi. Ha!

Crenshaw Chargers.
Not bad, not bad.

Come on, man, put some
respect on our name.

You know
this place is fly.

We got brand-new, state-of-
the-art everything,

and that's all
thanks to Spencer James.

KJ: Yeah, naw,
this is dope.

You know,
you got that, uh,

rookie money upgrade.

It's just back home,
you know, we got that

Marshawn Lynch, future
Hall of Famer money upgrade.

Oh, man, here we go.

Hey, what, man? I said
this is cute, though.

Nah, bruh, I had
to listen to you

brag on your gym and your
school and your team

all football camp.

Bro, we get it.
Y'all think that

y'all are the Kendrick
to our Drake. OK.

Man, I ain't say all that.

In fact, man,
I really don't know

what I'm getting into
this junior year.

This is gonna be
my first year

without my pops
as head coach.

Yasi: Hold up,
they fired him?

But--But y'all are
CIF regional champs.

Nah, they
didn't fire him.

He's taking time off for him,
whatever that means.

Voila.

All right.
Let's bounce, bro.

Beaches, babes,
and bottles await.

Ha! Come on.

Ms. Perez: Mr. Edwards.
Mr. Edwards, we are not done.

Yeah, we are.
You trippin'

talking all that mess
about me repeating

the 11th grade.

Coach Payne is crazy.

That dude is
a trip, right?

Yasi: He really was.
KJ: Oh, my bad.

Watch where the hell
you going, dawg.

Hey, relax.
I said my bad.

Yasi: If it ain't Crenshaw's
"least likely to graduate,"

Mr. Khalil Edwards.

They still let you
on campus, bro?

He's a friend
of yours?

Man, please.
His dad is some

big-deal Crip.
He thinks that

makes him untouchable.

Whatever, bro.
He's just bad news.

Crip, huh?
What about you?

Any affiliations?

Hey, no judgment.
I'm just curious.

Football.
That's my affiliation.

Look at you.
I thought law school

didn't start for
another couple weeks.

It doesn't, but there's
no such thing

as being too prepared.

OK. Well, I'm off
to the beach

with some friends,
so, see you later.

Ahem. [Coughing]

You OK, Auntie Coop?

It's not my child.
It's not my problem. Yeah.

Yep. I'm good.
Have a good time.

That's all
you have to say?

Pretty much.

OK, but can you, like,

send me some money
for snacks?

Oh, my bad.
I thought you was grown.

I mean, grown folks
got their own money.

I'm working on
getting a job,

but until then,
pretty please.

All right,
but, for real,

like, what--
what, did you leave

the rest of that outfit
in the bag?

I'm literally
going to a beach.

I mean, how much more
can I have on?

And besides, this is--
This is age-appropriate.

You know, I'm not--

A little girl anymore.

I mean, I get it.

I'm just not sure
who you trying to

prove that to more--

all of us or yourself.

[Cell phone vibrating]

Look, have a good time.
Be safe.

Layla, what's up?

Man: ♪♪ Show me, show me
how you get down... ♪♪

Jordan: All right, fellas,
turn me up now, turn me up now.

Here we go, here we go,
here we go, here we go, hey.

Hey, hey, hey.
All right, all right, all right.

Fellas, hit the field.
Hit the field.

Let's have a day.
Come on, now.

Let's go.

Let's
go.

Anybody got eyes on Yasi?

Yasi. Uh...I don't
think he's coming.

Said something
about plans.

-Plans?
-Yeah.

We have a session. That's
my starting quarterback.

What do you mean?
Lil Ron: I guess since

it was optional,
he opted out.

Lil Ron, you know optional
is never actually optional.

Hey, that's why I'm here.

OK. Go be great.

Coach Bobby: Coach Baker.
Missing something?

Or should I say
somebody?

No, sir. No, sir.
Just, uh,

a little misunderstanding.
I'm gonna go

take care of it
right now, OK?

[Sighs]

[Cheering on phone]

Ohh...

Blue, 32!

Blue, 32! Set! Go!

Man: ♪♪ I'm comin' in hot ♪♪

Whoo!

I could do this
all day, bruh. Ha!

Yeah. Remind me
which one of us

is two-peat
state champs.

-Ha. OK. OK. I like that.
-OK. Keep it up.

Keep it up, huh?
I'm about to show you

how we do it
down here in L.A.

A'ight, then
line it up, then.

Oh, you on
defense now?

Yeah, man.
I mean,

someone's gotta
humble you.

-OK. OK. I got you.
-Yeah. Come on.

Hey.

Man: ♪♪ Let's go, let's go ♪♪
Yasi: Wide 8.

Wide 8. Single.

Man: ♪♪ Yeah, I'm coming in ♪♪

[Crowd cheering]

KJ: Yeah! Whoo-hoo!

Yeaaaaaaah!

That was--That was
luck, bro.

That was luck.
Man: Let's do this.

Yasi: Whatever.
Man: ♪♪ ...coming in hot ♪♪

Girl, when I tell you
I love football,

I love football.

OK.

Name one football
team you know.

The Six-Packers. Mm-mm.
The Fine Booties.

Those are all
teams, right?

Seriously,
you're cut off.

And besides, I thought
we were here to

preplan the back-to-
school rally.

I can multitask.

[Laughter, indistinct chatter]

Can you please focus?

I know you're
not talking, Miss

My Head's Been On A Swivel
Since I Got Here.

Khalil's not coming,
by the way.

You know, daytime beach
is not his thing.

Now, why would I be
looking for Khalil?

Baby girl, that's what we
would all like to know.

You could have had fine-ass
Deion this summer.

OK, whatever.
He's like my brother.

That boy did not feel
brotherly towards you.

-For real?
-Of course you didn't notice

because you were too
googly eyes over Khalil.

And now Deion's moved to
Santa Fe with his sister

and Khalil's about to get
kicked out of school, so...

Wait. Khalil's about
to be kicked out?

Apparently, Khalil missed
so much school last year

that he has to
repeat 11th grade

or they won't
let him back.

At least that's
what I heard.

KJ: Hey, hey, heads up.

Woman: ♪♪ I been goin' out... ♪♪

KJ: My bad.
Amina: All good.

Woman: ♪♪ I been goin' out ♪♪

♪♪ Like it's the weekend,
yeah, yeah ♪♪

♪♪ I been goin' out... ♪♪

Which one of you
fine men

want to teach me
how to play?

Woman: ♪♪ It's the weekend,
yeah, yeah ♪♪

[Door closes]

Have no fear.
The cavalry is here.

What are you doing here?
I thought you were

baby-sitting Amina.
Coop: Oh, no.

She is 16, all right?
And in dog years,

that makes her
a grandparent.

She's fine.
You,

on the other hand,
need to be

saved from yourself.

Wow. I mean, this is
worse than I thought.

Oh, is this ugly green

the chartreuse
you called me about?

Coop, this is serious.

OK. You know what's
not serious? Chartreuse.

Layla: OK.
Coop: What?

I am trying
to make this place

a home for
me and Jordan,

the perfect, you know,
coach's home

that still feels like us,
and you are not helping.

Look, the Baker house
has been a home,

I mean, to everyone,
as a matter of fact,

so just let it be.

I mean, this Martha Stewart
thing ain't you.

But wait.
This, this is you.

I need this girl
to show up right now.

OK, well,
what about you?

When did playing nanny

and monitoring
the height and width

of Amina's short
shorts end up

on--on your vision board?

Man, what has
happened to us?

I guess we grew up.

Nonsense.
I just graduated college.

We should be
in our prime.

Well, apparently,
I've peaked.

It's retirement homes and

career achievement awards
from here on out.

Look, half the vortex
has moved to New York

and is living their best life
somewhere on Broadway.

-And playing ball.
-Or taking their

bestselling book and
turning it into a TV show.

And don't forget
conquering new high schools

as the new assistant
head coach at Astoria Prep.

Shout-out to Asher
and Coach Mrs. Montes.

Maybe we should have
moved to New York.

Nope. No. No, we
shouldn't have, OK?

We are badass women,
and we could be

our badass grown selves

right here on
the West Coast, too.

So, come on.

Wait. Where are we going?

We are going to out-fun
the New York vortex.

-Oh.
-Vamanos, woman.

OK.

[Phone clatters]

Mm.

[Clatter]

[Indistinct chatter]

Ha ha ha! Hey.

Jeez. Wow.

-I know.
-Looking good.

Ha ha! Yeah, man.

Yo, yo, is that
Jordan Baker?

Yo, that is two-time
NCAA champ.

I mean, that 65-yard
touchdown pass

against Hedlund State
was insane.

Yo, you have to
introduce me.

Jordan: I'm sure there is
a great reason

as to why my quarterback
is out here

rolling around in the sand

and not at practice with
the rest of his teammates,

and I cannot wait to hear why.

Sorry, did you need a second
to come up with a BS excuse?

Cool, cool.
I'll wait.

JB, just chill, bro.

OK, it's one
optional practice.

That's Coach JB,
first of all,

and do not play dumb.
You know that

every single practice
is mandatory

unless you're dead.

Clearly you
are not dead.

Oh, so now you want
to be responsible, huh?

Like--Like you never
skipped practice to party?

Yasi, get your ass
in the car

and get on the field now.

Matter of fact...

this you?

[Laughter, indistinct chatter]

Jordan: OK.

You know what? See you
back at practice...

Coach.

Woman: ♪♪ I ain't the juice,
I ain't the juice ♪♪

♪♪ Now open up for the... ♪♪
Coop: Uh-uh. Nope, no.

Uh-uh. Do not call
me that, all right?

I did not sign up for that.
OK? It's offensive.

What? An adult?

Yes. I didn't
sign up for that.

I never enlisted.

I signed up to be grown.
Big difference.

Wait, and what's
the difference again?

"Grown" is me
not making Amina change

before she went out
and day-drinking

with my super successful
"Top 25 Under 25" girl.

Ugh. Don't remind me.

What? Don't remind you

that you're killing the game?
-Mm-hmm.

We all trying
to get on your level.

No, seriously,
Coop, like,

where am I supposed
to go from here?

'Cause I'm not even
23 years old.

I have already
accomplished everything.

Wait, did I peak
in high school?

Oh, Layla Keating
might have.

She might have peaked
in high school.

-No.
-No, I'm messing with you!

All right, come on. You're
just--you're Layla Baker now.

Well, what is
Layla Baker good at?

This. This.
This is good.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

-Mm mm.
-Mm.

[Coughing] Coop,

did you not
lock the doors?

I-I said grown.
Not adult.

Apologies.
I heard the music.

Thought y'all were still open.
My bad.

No, wait. Hold on, hold on.
It's all good.

A brother only
looks to day-drink

for a couple
of reasons.

Either he's an alcoholic
or he's got marriage problems.

Both: Marital problems.

Y'all some palm readers
or something?

Well, you keep playing

with your wedding band.

That's the dead giveaway.

Cassius: Right.
Coop: Anyway, what you having?

'Cause we serving.

Cassius: Um...
Layla: Uh, Coop?

-What?
-Well, we--

I mean, sometimes it's good
to talk to strangers.

Or--or you could--
you could have the drink

that you came for and--
and go about your way.

By the way, I'm Coop,
this is Layla,

and this is her spot.

Um...you know what?
Why not?

I'm-I'm Cassius.
Cassius Jeremy.

And I'll take
a whiskey neat.

There it is.
That's it.

Thank you.

What are you
doing?

I'm having some grown...
daytime fun.

Oh, my God.
Weed and twerk classics

is where I call it a night.

I just washed my hair.

Yeah, actually,
you go ahead.

-Oh--
-What?

I know I've been messing
with you all day,

but for real,

Jerrel and them are
in the full-on gang.

That's who Khalil has been
rolling with and that's

exactly who you should
stay away from.

Khalil is not
part of the gang.

Yet.

Look, I just want
to make sure he's

OK with all the school
stuff before I roll out.

That's all.

But--

Hold that. Thanks.

Amina!

Can we talk?

Yo, can we get
a minute?

That's probably
the last lap dance

you're getting
from her.

I'll live.

Since when
you start drinking?

Matter of fact, what the hell
you doing here, anyway?

OK, seriously,
you're not my dad.

And I just wanted to
make sure you were cool.

Heard about the whole
repeat the 11th grade thing.

-Yo, can you chill?
-What?

-What are you doing?
-I'm checking on my friend.

I don't need you
to check on me. I'm good.

Khalil, what the--why--

You don't need
to be drinking anyway.

And ain't it past
your bedtime? Go home.

You know what?
I am sick

of you and everyone else

telling me what I am
and what I'm not.

None of you get
to decide that.

Because I can do
what I want, when I want,

and there's crap-all
any of you can do about it.

Meen, you're
talking a lot of crap.

Oh, I'm not
just talking.

[Laughter]

[Indistinct chatter]

Hey, what up,
my guy?

What's up, bruh?

That kiss make you feel
all warm and fuzzy inside?

-Excuse me?
-Look, I don't know

who you are or where
your ass came from,

but you ever touch one
of our girls again,

it's gonna be a problem.
You feel me?

OK. Whatever, bro.
That chick kissed me.

Watch yourself.

That chick
got a name, bro.

Yo, did I offend you in a
former lifetime or something?

This all a joke
to you, huh?

Oh, well, clearly
you take everything

a little too
seriously, so, it's

whatever, bro.
I'm out.

KJ: Move.
Khalil: Make me.

Clearly, cats like you need
to be taught some respect.

By who? A brother
that's apparently

too stupid to graduate?

[KJ grunts]
Khalil: What's up?

Things ain't so
funny now, huh?

[Gun cocks]

KJ: Oh, yo, yo,
this is crazy, man.

Come on.
All this over a kiss?

I suggest you get up
out of here and go back to

wherever you came from.

Gladly.

Jerrel, what the hell
is your problem, man?

Don't everything needs to be
answered with yo' damn gun.

So, let me get this straight.
You still love her?

Cassius: Yup.
Coop: And she still loves you.

Yup.

Layla: But you're
still separating.

I still don't
get why, though.

Layla: Sorry. You--You don't
have to tell us.

It's none of our business.

Yeah, I don't think
I have to worry about

y'all remembering
this tomorrow.

-That's a fact.
[Laughter]

You know, when I first
met Ava in college,

uh, my entire future
flashed before my eyes--

the joy,
the possibilities,

the kids we'd raise
to believe

they could be whatever
they wanted to be,

the dreams we chased
together, man.

I didn't grow up like that.

You know, with
that kind of...

optimism around me.

She--She made me
into something

I didn't think
I could be--

a hopeful dreamer.

Uh...

17 years later,
she deserves to still be

married to that guy,
but, well, he's gone, so--

And he is you,
correct?

Wait, what happened
to him, though?

The hopeful dreamer.

Uh. Duty happened.

-Duty.
-Duty.

Thanks for the drink
and the drunk ears.

I should get going.

Uh, y'all ain't
driving home, right?

Sorry. It's
the parent in me.

Look at that.
We're still young enough

to get parented,
but thank you. No.

I have already arranged
for our driver.

She has arrived. Hey.

Yeah. You know, when
I said I was working

on getting a job, I didn't
mean as a Uber driver.

[Laughter]

Cassius:
Um, good luck with them.

Amina: Yeah. Thanks.
Coop: Yeah.

OK, so, how much have
you guys had to drink?

Coop: Not that much.
Layla: Just this much.

OK. Let's get you
down from here.

Coop: Baby girl,
you want to be grown?

I got two words for you!

Designated driver.
Come on.

Layla: Designated driver.
Amina: Get down from here.

Layla: Whee! Oh!
[Laughs]

You caught me.

Coop: Take me home!
Layla: I'm OK.

Let's go.
Let's go.

I just don't understand
why we can't leave tonight.

I mean,
can't we just drive?

Yes, in theory,
we can, but--

Please, Mom,

I want to go home.
Like now.

What's going on?

I want to go home early.

Yeah, I got that part.
Mind telling me why?

Why is everything suddenly
an inquisition?

I'm literally just asking
to leave 12 hours early.

Clearly something happened,
so, why don't you come

sit down and tell us
what's going on?

[KJ winces]

What was that?

Cassius: Hey.
KJ: It's nothing.

No. It's nothing.

Ava: Oh, my God,
KJ, what happened?

It's nothing. OK?

It was a stupid fight
at the beach.

A reminder that I've
overstayed my welcome here.

So, can we just please
go back home to Oakland?

What? What is it?

Ava: Your dad and I, we have--
Cassius: Hey.

Um, things have been
a little rough

for your mom and me lately, OK?

It's my fault.

It is. I, um...

I broke some promises
and, um...

and she deserves better.

Oh, you
cheated on her?

Cassius: No, no, of course not.
Ava: No, baby,

nothing like that.

So--so, are you guys
getting a divorce?

We are trying
a separation.

Just a trial.
And we feel

that the space will be
good for everyone.

And how much space
are we talking?

Cassius: Well, um, I got a new
coaching gig here in LA.

KJ: Wait...
Cassius: Hold on.

I'm not leaving
you, OK? Um...

Actually, your mom
and me think it's best

if you come with me.

So, we're moving here.

And I'm gonna
stay in Oakland,

but I'm gonna--
I'm gonna visit.

So, you guys just have
this whole thing

figured out, haven't you?

I mean, this is my life,
too, right?

But I guess what I need just--
it just doesn't matter.

Wow.

So much for being a family.

[Door closes]

Amina: Oh, and I also
attached my resume

to the back of
the application.

So, yeah, you should have

all the information
you need.

Thanks.

[Whispers]
Oh, God.

Hey. Hi.

So, I don't know
if you remember me, but--

I try not to forget
girls that I kiss.

Right. Um, except it's
more like I kissed you.

Which is what I'm actually

awkwardly trying
to apologise for.

I, I acted impulsively
and was trying to

prove a point to a guy
who can't seem to see me

and oh, my God,
now I'm rambling

and embarrassing
myself even more,

so, I'm just gonna go.

Hey, hey. Uh, my name
is Kingston Jeremy,

but everybody calls me KJ.

Now, I figured we
already shared a kiss.

We should at least
swap names.

Amina. Amina Simms.

It's nice to meet you,
Amina Simms.

You, too.

OK. Um, see you around.

Yeah.

I'm sorry. I hope this
doesn't sound weird,

but you look like
you could use a friend.

I look that bad, huh?

I've seen better.

Yeah. Uh...

my life, it kind of
just imploded tonight,

and I'm just trying to...
not hit something.

OK. Maybe I can
help with that.

I mean, what do you do
to blow off steam,

clear your mind?

Uh...

All right.
I definitely didn't have

breaking and entering on
my wish list for the night.

It's not breaking
and entering

when I have
my dad's keys.

-He teaches here, so, it's fine.
-Yeah.

Besides, you said
throwing a football around

is how you
blow off steam

and we need a football.

I mean, yeah,
but I'm guessing

we could have
bought one.

And where's the fun
in that, Kingston? Uh,

hey, Uncle Jordan.

KJ: Uncle Jordan?
Jordan: Do I want to know

why you're breaking in?

I'm sorry.
I'm just trying to

help a friend who's
having a rough night.

Uncle Jordan, this is...

Kingston Jeremy. Yeah.

Top 20 high school
quarterback in California.

How you doing?
KJ: Wait, you know who I am?

Listen, MaxPreps
loves to highlight you

on their online
high school mixes

and you are
hard to miss, my friend.

Yeah, uh, I don't
know how much love

I'll be getting
going forward.

It looks like
I'm moving schools

and I'm not really sure
what I'm stepping into.

Forget all that. OK?
I've seen your arm.

I've seen the way
you read the field.

Something tells me
you'll be making an impact

no matter where you land.

-I appreciate that.
-Yeah. Of course.

Like, more
than you know.

Uh, but, uh, you know,
we should

probably get
out of your hair.

Yeah, Ameena, she was
going to help me

toss a few, but, uh,
I feel like we should go.

You know, actually, uh,
tossing the rock,

uh, clears my mind
as well,

so--I don't know--
what do you say

we hit the field and, uh,

spin it for a few rounds?

-Wait, seriously?
-Yeah.

I could use
a distraction.

Amina: And it looks like
my work here is done.

Have fun.

OK.

Uh, hey, Amina.

That guy, uh, the one
you were trying to impress?

He's blind if he can't see
what's right in front of him.

That was smooth.
Very smooth.

Ha ha!

Hey. Coop let me in.

She actually went to
get me some water,

but never came back, though.

You might want
to check on her.

If you're here to yell
at me about what

happened at the beach,
you can save it. I'm good.

Actually, um,
I'm here to apologise.

Look, when Deion left, he
asked me for only two things--

to look out for you,

protect you like
you was my sister.

What was the other?

Keep my Black ass
out of trouble.

I appreciate you
looking out for me. I do.

But I'm not
a little girl anymore...

That's fair.

and I'm sorry about
earlier, too.

I didn't mean to air out
your business about school.

Hey, don't worry
about it. It's cool.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

I might have
finally messed up

beyond what's fixable.

Mm-mm. I don't
believe that, Khalil.

You're the one that
got me up to speed

on pre-calc this summer.

The problem's
always your attendance,

never your grades.

This is a chance for you
to get back on track.

Maybe. I'll think about it.
Look, I got to bounce.

One more thing, though.

Dropping out of school
is the exact opposite

of keeping your Black ass
out of trouble.

I'm just saying.

Touché.

See you.

Spencer on voicemail: J!
I'm sorry I missed you, dawg.

Look, I know the school year's
getting ready to start up.

It got me thinking.

Every high school kid with
a dream of going to the NFL

will tell you

them 10,000 hours starts young--

back home on the block
or on the pee-wee field

or in the school gym.

And if we're lucky,
along the way, we find someone

who believes that dream
can be a reality for us--

a parent, an unc, a coach.

KJ: Hey, uh, thanks for
meeting me here.

Cassius: Yeah. Uh, KJ...
KJ: No, no, me first. Please.

Look, my bad for walking out
the way that I did.

Um, I had some thinking
of my own to do.

Someone reminded me
tonight that, uh,

no matter where I play,
I'm still me

and that I still
have an impact.

And I realised that the same
is true for our family.

Now, I'm never going to
stop rooting for us

to get back together,
but I know that

no matter where we live
or how spaced out we are,

we're still us,

and we'll still have
an impact together.

So, um, I trust
you guys.

Whatever the next step
is, I trust you.

So, how about it?
Last meal together?

Boy, not you
making it sound like

this is the Last Supper.

We have plenty of meals
together. Come on.

Spencer, voice-over: Someone
there to help us navigate

the ups and downs of life.

Someone who won't let up
until we've

made it across that finish line

and our improbable childhood
dream is finally our reality.

Layla: Jordan?
Jordan: Yeah?

We're always gonna
be each other's

hopeful dreamers, right?

[Snoring]

[Whispers] OK.

Spencer, voice-over:
For this new generation,

that person is you, J. You.

So, as you approach this first
official week of school,

remember that.

Remember who you are and what
you bring to the table.

And then take these kids
all the way to they dream.

OK, I'ma holla at you soon, man.

Love.

Shouldn't you be gone?

Yeah, I'm heading out
in a minute.

What you got against
the kid anyway?

You're a little hard
on him, even for you.

Yeah, well,
I got my reasons.

KJ: Uh, what are we doing here?

This is our new home.

Welcome to Beverly High.

Greg,
move your head.
