Previously on The Chi...
Is this gonna be weird for you?
I mean, you're the one that broke up with me,
so it might be a little weirder for you.
- Fuck. - What happened in here?
- I can't be late. - Hold on.
Who gonna-- who gonna watch the boys?
You.
Come on, Kiesha.
Bye, Emmett.
You're late.
I'm used to checking parents
for not being on time, not teachers.
Yo, Kari, do you know anybody
that can hold this for us?
Yeah, I think I do.
Fuck you doing here?
dramatic music
What's this?
What if my girl find this shit?
Nigga, make sure she don't.
- Oh, shit. - What?
Somebody's in here.
We need to talk.
Q was working for the FBI.
What's that got to do with me?
I ain't got shit to say.
Well, keep that same energy when the feds come knocking.
R&B music
Yeah.
No, this is the one.
Yeah.
I'm not from around here...
- No, that ain't it. - What you mean, man?
Mm, boy, that jacket wearing you.
- Come here, hang on. - I like the jacket, bro.
Hey, miss, can we, uh, get this in a smaller size, please?
Emmett, I-I like the suit, man.
Yeah, you gonna have the suit.
Just trust me. Thank you.
Who you taking anyway?
Maisha.
We finally made it official, so...
Getting that old thing back.
Something like that.
Yeah, whatever you do, just don't fuck it up this time.
- I won't. - Here you go.
Thank you.
Appreciate it.
Try this on, young player.
Just call out my name, name...
- Yeah. - Oh.
Now, that's the one right there.
Oh, shit.
I'm gon' fuck 'em up with this one, man.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Damn, can't believe I'm buying your ass a suit for prom.
Got me feeling old as hell.
Oh, no, I got it.
You got it? What you mean you got it?
Listen, man, I got the money.
A'ight, I see.
Might be able to get a little bit more if I left Chicago.
What are you talking about?
Well, this team in LA is trying to sponsor me.
I don't need no Mary Jane, Mary Jane
You can be my Lois Lane...
Oh, shit. That's dope.
Yeah.
Said they'd put me up in a house, get me a car,
sponsor all my events.
- It's just... - That's fire.
...I'd have to move to LA.
What'd you tell them?
Well, I-I told them I'll think about it.
I'll stand for hoping that's what I'm gonna know
Alex Isley & Jack Dine's "Love Again" playing
Surprise!
Oh, my gosh, what is this?
Wow.
A deeper meaning...
Thank you.
Not much to find...
Will you go to prom with me?
And it feels right
Had gotten used to the silence of the night...
Yes.
I'm already safe
Thought I had done it all, but I got some grace
Even a bit of time, mm, and space
Reset on my heart and a brand-new slate
You make me feel, me feel
R&B music
I don't know, K.
Why would anybody want to leave the Chi?
For a bigger opportunity, Emmett.
- What if it don't work out? - And what if it does?
All right, here you are.
Thank you so much.
- You're welcome. - Growing up.
I'll hold it for him. Thank you.
Have a good one.
Don't you want to build your legacy
in the city that raised you?
Listen, I'm not trying to abandon Chicago.
I just--I just want to see what's out there.
Man, this city is all we got.
If we keep leaving it, it won't be no real niggas left.
Yeah, I hear you.
Chicago is the shit, man.
Damn, Douda, got the toys out, man.
The Ferrari, Audi,
AMG!
Shit, hell no.
No, that's the one.
Yo, look at the fucking rims, dog.
- You like it? - I love it.
Yeah, that's good,
'cause this is gonna be your chariot for the weekend.
For real?
Yes.
You've earned it.
I appreciate you.
Man, Nae gon' fucking flip out
when she see me pull up in this shit.
Hell yeah.
Come on.
Let me, uh--let me show you something.
dramatic music
I thought you said you was gonna handle this.
About that. Been hitting him up.
He ain't been picking up his phone.
Hmm.
Well, you need to figure something out.
Either you get it done tonight,
or I'll be the one driving this car around
with my bitch sitting in the passenger side.
Find a place to stash these.
Got you. I'll figure something out.
Here.
Figure something out.
dramatic jazz music
spacey music
When my shit gonna look like this?
Give it a few months.
Just be patient.
These new grow lights I got you should help.
I love the smell of weed in the morning, man.
What you doing here?
Please, you wouldn't even know Cairo
if it wasn't for me.
Whatever, nigga.
- All right, thank you. - Don't stress.
Your crop gon' come in potent and plentiful.
What the hell was that?
What the fuck?
- Oh! - They just took my car!
Damn, they just got my boy last week.
Shit!
I think I know who took it.
Don't play with me, Dante.
Look, you can either come with me
or stand there looking crazy.
It's your choice.
tense music
Come on.
Good morning.
Uh... have a seat.
Is everything OK?
Well, uh, we just got wind
of some massive budget cuts.
And though you've been really great with your students,
you have been late...
a lot.
I know. I'm sorry.
And you've had to leave early pretty often.
I promise I didn't mean to leave y'all hanging.
I know life happens,
and I definitely tried to figure out
how to keep you on given the new budget,
but unfortunately,
I have to let you go.
I'm really sorry this didn't work out.
somber music
The fuck is all this?
I don't know. I just got here.
- What's up? - You good?
Yeah, I just want my car.
- I know. - I'm OK.
I can't make no promises.
Well, come on, let's see.
Come on.
There go my car right there.
Hey, man, back y'all ass away from this Altima, man.
This my girl car.
Fuck is y'all even doing, shorty?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
What's-what's, uh-- what's going on around here?
Oh, shit.
I'm sure they took it by mistake.
Zay, let-let the lady have her car.
dramatic music
- Thank you. - Mm.
Y'all better not had took shit either.
How y'all even end up taking her shit
knowing that we work with y'all?
It was a mistake. It won't happen again.
Yeah, y'all better memorize it.
Take a picture of it.
Write it down.
All that shit.
And y'all finna cash us out for this window.
That's what we not gon' do.
You can take that shit out of the next drop.
Come on.
Long time, no see.
Didn't expect to catch your ass here
playing Captain Save-A-Ho.
Man, it ain't even like that.
What led you to us?
The boys getting greedy, man.
Plus, there's too many cars coming up missing
for you not to know nothing.
Listen, Dante, don't get caught up over no bitch,
especially one that ain't yours, OK?
A'ight.
Now we'll go live out on the field
for the latest.
U.S. Treasury...
OK, two-tone, I see you.
You got jokes.
No.
You look good.
You made those?
Yeah, trying to feel 'em out,
see if I want to wear 'em to prom.
I like them.
Big day ahead
for Alderman Elect Victor Taylor
as he officially takes office.
Many throughout Chicago are wondering
if he'll live up to his predecessors
or falter under expectations.
But one thing we do know
is that he has a lot of eyeballs on--
What's wrong? Ain't you happy?
Yeah.
I just don't want people to stop trusting me
'cause I'm a politician.
Yeah, you definitely one of the opps now.
Boy, come on. I'm still one with the people.
Just don't let that shit go to your head.
I won't.
Know everybody gonna want you
to live up to they expectations,
but you can only do the best you can,
so that's gonna have to be enough.
I appreciate that, baby brother.
R&B music
Good days alive, it just feels right...
So what colors you and Bakari wearing tomorrow?
I don't know.
What you mean you don't know?
We haven't discussed it.
So y'all not gonna be coordinated?
I'm not really stressed about our fits.
Then what is it?
My brother wants to meet him before we go.
Oh, shit.
I know.
Big brothers always trying to scare
somebody boyfriend away.
Man, like...
I just pray that it's short and sweet.
He know the struggle, so hopefully,
he won't judge him too much.
Rise, rise, rise, rise...
But what if he does?
Just remind your brother that niggas be in the streets
'cause they have to be, not 'cause they want to be.
Good days alive
It just feels right...
That's cute. That's really cute.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah. - Let me see.
Had a good day at school today, huh?
Yeah.
- Go in the house, man. - Come on.
Your mama gon' be right there, a'ight?
Let me talk to you for a minute.
What the fuck happened to your window?
Somebody tried to steal the car.
- What the hell? When? - Earlier today.
- Today? - Yeah.
Why you ain't call me?
Because you not my man.
- I bought it for you. - So?
How you get it back?
I was with Dante when it happened,
and he figured Douda and his boys took it,
and he was right.
Why were you with Dante?
That's what you asking me?
Not if I'm OK or if I'm traumatized?
You don't look too traumatized to me.
- Whatever. - Look, hold on.
All right.
- Why were you with Dante? - I wasn't with him.
He just so happened to be at my new plug's spot.
I thought Douda was your plug.
He is, and he will be until my new harvest comes in.
You growing your own shit now?
Yeah. Kiesha ain't tell you?
Nah.
Well, I thought she would have.
Well, she didn't.
I still think you should have called me.
You not my protector no more.
dramatic music
Where you get this car?
Friend loaned it to me.
What kind of friend?
A rich one.
Can I ask you something?
What?
Want to go somewhere after prom?
Like where?
Out the way.
My homey got a phat-ass crib in the burbs that we can stay at.
Yeah, that sound cool, but don't be expecting nothing.
- I'm not. - Mm-hmm.
- What? - You know what.
Girl, you crazy.
smooth music
Hey, I...
I love you.
I love you too.
Baby, why ain't nobody tell me Tiff growing her own weed now?
And did you know Douda's boys jacked her car today?
What? No.
- This shit crazy. - Is she OK?
Yeah, it's fine.
She just--she got it back.
Tiff not even trippin'.
I lost my job today, Emmett.
Wait, what?
What happened?
Budget cuts.
At least now you won't be so overwhelmed.
What?
I mean, you been juggling a lot.
Yeah, I been juggling a lot trying to help you.
That's why they couldn't justify keeping me on.
This job meant a lot to me.
I finally found something that gave me purpose,
and it's gone.
You can get a job at another school.
It's not that simple.
Well, what you want me to do?
I want you to stop leaning on me for everything.
All right, fine. Uh...
just speak up next time.
Why is it on me to speak up?
- 'Cause I can't read your mind. - You don't have to, Emmett.
You can see I'm overwhelmed. Why I got to say that?
It's not my fault if providing for my family
means I need your help around the house a little more.
I'm not about to be sitting at home
letting the world pass me by
while you out here living your best life.
What? Kie--
dramatic music
Man, it ain't never took me that long
to put no dresser together.
Yeah, that's 'cause the instructions
- were in Chinese. - I guess.
Oh, yeah. Shit. Here you go, dog.
- Hey! - Good work.
That's what I'm talking about.
- Hold on. - Mm.
$100?
Nigga, that's it?
Yeah, How much was you expecting to make?
Well, shit, more than this.
Man, we've been working since 6 a.m.
I told you, it's slow money for right now.
Hey, we recruit a few more brothers,
man, could be a big business.
Damn.
Man, why you really sweating this money?
Just honestly, man, I'm sick and tired of feeling
like I ain't bringing nothing to the table.
Yeah, yeah, I get that.
It's like, our whole lives, man, we been told
we got to be the provider, the protector,
the pipe layer.
Yeah.
Yeah, but I mean, sometimes
it's just cool to support these women.
And if they further along than us,
then, man, shit, it's good for us
to be just chill at the crib
making sure everything's smooth.
And if you can't handle that right now,
you better speak up or forever hold your peace.
Come on, man, we got to roll.
A'ight.
Your dad wants to see you.
Damn, can you knock?
That dress is hideous.
I'm aware.
- Did you buy it online? - Yeah.
That was your first mistake.
Can you not judge me right now?
I'm in a crisis.
I'm happy to take you shopping.
I'll figure it out.
How? Isn't prom tonight?
Yeah.
Come on, don't be silly. We can make a day of it.
I don't want to make a day of it.
Fine, but you cannot go to prom like this.
Yeah, I know.
It's either me or your dad, your choice.
mellow music
Come on.
Please, let's go.
You know, I really don't appreciate all that activity
you had going on last night.
Activity? You mean texting?
I had a hard time sleeping.
Really? It wasn't even that serious.
You think it's OK to be texting your ex
into the wee hours of the night?
You tweaking. It was only eleven o'clock.
That's still too late to be texting
somebody you used to fuck.
OK, coming from you, that's a little crazy.
I'm not about to be sitting at home
letting the world pass me by
while you out here living your best life.
- Hi, Kiesha. - Hey.
I'm going upstairs to get Ronnie ready.
Thank you.
I've officially turned into my mama.
Why you say that?
You know what she said to you
about living your best life?
Yeah.
It's exactly what I said to Emmett
before I left the house.
Wow. Now, that's crazy.
I know.
Look, I love your mother.
- I know. - All right?
We just got a little heated.
I didn't know you was coming in.
Y'all can argue in front of me.
- I'm grown. - OK.
Well, I just want to let you know
that I'm not fucking my ex, all right?
We just been hanging out a little bit lately.
That's it. It's nothing inappropriate.
- I swear. - I believe you.
So what's wrong?
I lost my job.
Oh, Kiesh, I'm sorry to hear that.
I thought everything was going great.
Budget cuts.
Damn, why they always got to come for the teachers first?
Right?
So how you feeling?
I feel like a failure.
Oh, come on now, Kiesh, you know that's not true.
No, no, I just--
I feel like I can't get nothing right.
You still in therapy?
I couldn't really keep up with it.
You know you got to remain consistent
in order for it to work.
Can't you just be my therapist?
No. Hell no.
I know way too fucking much.
But I think I might know somebody who you might like.
I'll hit her up right now, all right?
- Thanks, Dre. - Mm-hmm, no problem.
dramatic music
Look, man, I already told you now... no.
How long you gonna be a kept man, Shaad?
Hey, man, what the fuck you say?
What happened to the nigga that helped me
get my shit together?
I helped you get your shit together the right way.
I'd never do nothing to put you in danger.
What you think you doing?
Ain't nothing gonna happen.
Yeah, that was the last thing I heard
before I did something that got me locked the fuck up.
Look, I just--
I just need you to hold 'em--
For a little while.
Yeah, I know the drill.
Nigga, I got two racks in my pocket.
You want it or nah?
Tax-free.
- How long's a little while? - Not long.
Appreciate you, Shaad.
Yeah, whatever, nigga.
intense music
OK.
Shit.
Mm, I love that we have the whole place to ourselves.
Yeah, I don't do gen pop.
What?
- General population. - Oh.
I like that.
So do you really like my dad, or are you just using him?
Please, I've dated men and women
more powerful than he is.
So what is it?
We both just realize that we've been
running from love our entire lives.
My mom loved him.
Yeah, and then she left him.
Yeah, she left me too.
It's hard to fall in love when you've been
burned by it so many times.
Until you meet someone who makes you believe in it again.
Exactly.
So are you excited about prom?
Yeah.
And I'm super excited that I got a man
so I don't have to worry about who gon' take me or not.
Jake, right?
Right.
Mm. How'd you two meet?
Um...
I kind of used to date his best friend.
Oh, I knew I liked you.
dramatic music
Douda!
Hey, where the fuck Douda at?
Why the fuck y'all touch Tiff's car?
You know I bought her that shit.
Your broker helped me get it.
You are a day late and a dollar short, young man.
Your woman already came in here with two other niggas
to help her handle that.
It's not my fault that, um, you wasn't one of them.
I guess she know your ass wasn't built for that.
Now, get the fuck on.
Fuck you.
Hey, chill the fuck out.
I'm sorry. Uh, what did you say?
You heard what I said.
I will kill your ass right now.
And then your little boys will grow up without a father,
and your mama will have to pick out a nice gray suit
to bury your ass in, and your father,
he'd be crying like a little bitch.
And I'll pull up to your repast wearing gaiters
and a motherfucking pinkie ring.
Mm.
Is that what you want?
Looking sharp, boy.
So you got a date to this thing tonight?
Yeah.
Hmm. So who's the lucky lady?
You wouldn't know her.
I need to meet her.
We ain't that serious... yet.
Well, you better not be serious about nobody.
You know what I mean.
Well, are you picking her up, like a gentleman?
She's meeting me at the send-off.
Well, you just make sure
that you act godly tonight.
Do I got to?
Hmm.
When you walk out that door,
everything you do is a reflection of me.
So you need to behave like I'm always watching,
even if I'm not there.
mellow jazz music
I hear you.
Look, I know I'm hard on you,
but it's because there's a lot of sin out there in the world,
and I don't want you to be enticed by it.
No one can be godly all the time.
I need space to be myself.
Yo, what up?
OK, I see you in all black.
You know, just keeping it simple.
Where's your tux?
Nah.
That ain't really my style.
Well, you kids love breaking rules.
I think we just like doing it our own way.
Well, I'ma pray for both of y'all.
I'm assuming you're going with Lynae.
Yeah.
You look a little nervous.
You OK, boy?
She want me to meet her older brother.
That's a good thing, right?
Yeah, it is.
I just--
I just don't want the nigga trying to punk me and shit.
- Like-- - Language, son, language!
My bad.
soft music
Look, just remember these three things:
always look them in the eye,
extend your hand first,
and when you walk away, do it with confidence,
no matter what transpires.
- Yes, sir. - All right.
Well, y'all come on.
Let's take a picture so y'all can get out of here.
Do we have to?
Boy, if you don't take this picture.
Yo, get up.
Come on, get in here.
All right. How's that?
It's not the best, but I'll take it.
If y'all don't get out of here before I decide that prom
ain't nothing but the devil and tell y'all y'all can't go.
- We out. - All right, Padre.
Are you OK?
Hmm?
Yeah.
I'm OK.
I think I need to go back to therapy.
Are you OK?
I'm overwhelmed, and I need to talk to someone
other than you and Tiff.
What's wrong with me and Tiff?
Nothing. I need to see a professional.
I've done couples therapy before.
I don't mind doing it again.
Emmett, this is not about us as a couple.
This is about me.
Well, we good?
Yeah. I--
I know it's been a lot lately.
I'm committed to this relationship and our family.
I just--I feel like I'm pouring
into everyone except myself,
and I feel empty.
I feel lost.
OK, well, I don't-- I don't want that.
- Neither do I. - All right.
And do you maybe want to do some one-on-one therapy?
I think it'll be good for you.
No, I'm doing this group therapy thing with Victor,
and I'm-I'm-I'm good.
Group therapy is great, but that one-on-one hit different.
Nah, I'm good.
I promise.
somber music
She's coming down.
- Put the paper away. - OK, fine, all right.
You're gonna love it.
Ah!
So pretty.
Turn around.
Do you love it?
- It's so cute. - Beautiful.
Go upstairs and change right now.
And take off some of that makeup.
You're not leaving the house looking like that.
Daddy, this is--
No, but don't "Daddy" me.
Go upstairs now.
- Tierra, can you tell him-- - Uh-huh.
She's not your parent. I am.
But, Dad, it's prom.
Keep talking and I'll make you stay home.
It's OK. I'll talk to him.
Go upstairs. It's OK.
Are you crazy?
No, but you must be.
How could you possibly think that dress
is appropriate for a teenage girl?
She's not a child.
She's my child.
She's a young woman now whether you like it or not,
and she has a right to express herself.
She can express herself without looking
like a fucking hooker.
What do you think I look like?
Wow.
So, Kev, you really not finna tell us
who you going to prom with?
Yeah, why you being so secretive and shit?
Y'all got all these questions about my date.
Where is y'all's at?
Upstairs, nigga.
Oh. Oh, yeah.
Uh, Jemma said she running late.
She got an issue with her dress.
Yeah, Kenya probably running fashionably late too.
She on her way?
Nah, she can't make it no more.
She probably kicking it with her real boyfriend tonight.
Actually, she told me to come by after prom,
so once I'm done with childish activities,
I'ma slide through her crib and get
into some grown-folk shit.
Oh, shit.
I see you, Papa.
Yeah.
Hold up, hold up, hold up.
What y'all getting into?
Don't worry about all that.
Yes.
upbeat R&B music
Maybe in time, we'll find a way
Maybe we'll love through all the pain
If you look in my eyes...
Okay!
We'll live in a world of better days
All this pressure
Weighing on my mind
Gotta catch up
I'm so tired
Can I prosper
Without losing pride
Can I offer
What's inside
Oh, hope, don't fail me now
Oh, hope
Don't hold me down
Mistakes don't hold me down
I know we mess it up
Somehow
And start all over again
Maybe in time, we'll find a way...
You got one job, one job only:
keep my sister safe.
You hear me?
I hear you.
Don't get her caught up in none of your bullshit.
She all I got.
Trust me, I won't.
Start all over again
So how long have you been back?
Not that long.
And why didn't you call me?
I've been busy.
- Look, you're here now. - Well, I should be.
I mean, I am the one who invested in the place.
And I paid you back.
And I'm still a silent investor.
You haven't been silent since we signed that paperwork.
Place looks really good.
- Yeah. - Mm-hmm.
The barbershop in the front is a nice decoy.
Only the cool kids know what goes on in the back.
Very smart.
Although I've heard that this has become a place
for hoodlums to hang out.
I mean, is that the kind of word of mouth
you want on the street?
By, um..."hoodlum,"
you mean Douda?
I don't mind if he hangs out in our establishment.
It's my establishment.
I just don't want this to become a place for violence
and gang activity.
Mm.
That would ruin everything
that we've worked so hard to build.
Well, Douda knows this place is for leisure use only.
Just make sure that him and his little friends
don't do anything stupid.
He only uses it when we're closed.
Oh.
And why does he get these special privileges?
Because we're friends.
Oh.
Yeah, well, you know he used to work for my brother.
I know all about him.
Yeah, I heard about what happened.
I am so sorry for your loss.
dramatic music
I'm sure you are.
Thank you for making time for me.
You believed in me when no one did.
I will always make time for you.
But just remember...
you owe me a favor.
Oh, I know.
You ready to cash that in?
Not right now.
But when I am, you'll know.
Mm.
Very nice.
Yep.

Thank you.
Here's to you, Victor.
A man who leads by example.
You're a constant reminder to all of us
that change is possible.
And it's an honor working alongside you.
And I know it's only up from here.
Congratulations.
Thank you, thank you.
- Cheers. - Cheers!
- All right, Vic. - All right!
D, hey!
- How are you? - Good.
Quincy's right over there.
Hey, everyone.
Uh, this is my fiancé, Deondray.
- What's up? - Hey, D.
- What's up, Bro? - Hey, man.
- You're late. - Yeah, my bad.
Yeah, but you missed my toast.
Yeah, you want to do it again when we get home?
You're not funny.
Well, you're not with me for my sense of humor.
Yeah.
Let me introduce you to Victor.
All right. I got you.
What's up, man?
Do you want something to drink?
- Yeah? - Please. Thank you.
Yeah, well, it's nice to finally meet you.
- It's nice to meet you too. - Yeah, yeah.
- I love this house. - Thank you.
Yeah, Fatima's been sprucing up the place.
I remember when it was in bad shape.
It's come a long way, OK?
I've had my eyes on it for a while.
Oh, yeah?
You know, he's in real estate.
Oh.
Yeah, I'd hold on to this place if I was y'all.
A house like this could be worth a lot of money one day.
Oh, really?
Yeah, the property value will only go up
with all the construction happening around here.
- That's good to know. - Yeah.
I actually sold Otis a house
over here not too long ago.
Douda?
Yeah, he was my first client.
When things were slow for me,
he gave me a loan to keep me afloat.
I don't know where I'd be if it wasn't for him.
Hey, Quincy, can I talk to you for a second?
- Sure. - Yeah.
Hey, it's good to meet you, brother.
Yeah, nice to meet you.
Yeah, yeah. Be right back.
Douda is dangerous, man.
Yeah, I don't like him either,
but we never had any issues.
Yeah, for now.
What's going on?
Look, if this is gonna work,
you got to be more transparent.
I don't need any more surprises.
What happened?
dramatic music
I helped him dump a body.
- Hey, babe. - Hmm?
They're looking for you.
I'll be right there.
No, uh, uh, no
All of this, I'm feeling love
I'm feeling love...
Hey, nigga.
Have fun.

Don't got no obligations, at least for today
At least you could stay for as long as you care, babe
As long as you want to
Everything's in the air...
How much do you know about Otis?
How much do you know about Victor?
I mean, I know he's honest.
He lied his whole campaign.
Yeah, but that's different.
Please.
Look, Otis is dangerous.
And that's all I know.
Feel like I'm wasting time...
Come here.
I'm not your option
I'm not your baby

Tried to find you, tell you
Warn you the end is near
All I see is danger
Danger
Tried to find my way again
But the end is near
All I see is danger
Danger
I don't want to see you leave
But it's killing me for you to stay
I don't want to live without you
'Cause you're the one to numb the pain
Halted by these memories
Wishing they'd just go away
This was never meant to be
It's danger
Tried to find you, tell you
Warn you the end is near
All I see is danger

It's danger, it's danger, it's danger
It's danger, it's danger, it's danger, it's danger
Hold my hand, hold my hand
Guide me, Lord, to that promised land
Guide me, great Jehovah, day and night
Lamp unto my feet, pathway the light
Never let me wrong, you led me right
I'ma walk by faith and die by sight
- Hold my hand - Hold my hand

To that promised land
- Hold my hand - Hold my hand
Hold my hand

Guide me, Lord, to that promised land
- Who's that? - I don't know.
Victor Taylor?
Yeah.
I'm Jason Gorn with the FBI.
Wait, what's going on?
Need you to come with me and answer a few questions.
Uh, no, right now?
Shouldn't take long.
Babe, what is--
It's OK, it's OK.
I'll be right back.
tense music
Took you long enough.
OK, well, I'll, um--
I'll make it up when we get back to the house.
- Oh, is that right? - Mm.
Um, Alicia paid me a visit today.
What did she want?
She just knows that you've been
hanging out at the lounge.
So, what, is that against the fucking law?
She's just being possessive.
No, what she's doing is trying to control you.
You don't think I know that?
Did she say anything about her brother?
I gave her my condolences.
Just do me a favor and keep her at bay, OK?
Did you kill him?
Don't ask me questions you already know the answers to.
Why?
- Because he was being messy. - OK.
Who else knows?
Just one of my guys.
Is he loyal?
He better be.
So, Kiesha, what brings you here?
Well, um,
I was kidnapped...
sexually assaulted.
My son is a product of the assault.
I'm in a new relationship with my high school sweetheart,
and he has three kids by three different women.
Um, he's helping me raise my son, so we're just,
you know, figuring that out.
And we recently moved into a new home.
But he's been leaning on me a lot to help with the kids
and support him while he expands his business.
And I just lost my job because I've just
been stretched so thin, and I just--
I feel lost.
And I'm exhausted and...
confused.
Wow, that's a lot.
But we can get through it.
dramatic music
OK.
Now, it won't be easy.
We have a lot of work to do, but if you're committed
to this practice, I think we can get you to a better place
and help you find some balance in your life.
I'm ready.
R&B music
Reminiscing on the old times...
What do you think about LA?
I don't think about it.
OK.
Would you move there if it meant
you could benefit your career?
- Hell yeah. - For real?
Absolutely.
What about your friends and family, though?
They'll be all right.
I'm not about to give up on my dream
just so that I can be close to them.
You only get one life, Kev,
and you got to live it to the fullest,
even if that means leaving some people behind.
Mm.
Wow.
So you wouldn't mind leaving me behind?
Hmm.
To another chapter, to a different phase...
- Yo, you good? - Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm good.
Reminiscing on the old times
dramatic music
Hey, babe.
You back. How was therapy?
What the hell is this?
I want to do it.
Thank you.
I-I look forward to coming out there.
No, no, I-I haven't been.
All right.
I'll be on the lookout.
