I think we should chill on having sex
until you take me on a real date.
We're too old to be going on dates.
If you want to keep me,
you better step up.
You were right.
I can't just demand your love.
I gotta earn it.
Now...
I'm gonna make sure I do everything it takes
to make sure I don't lose you again.
I love you.
I love you too.
[Jemma] This can't be happening.
I can't be pregnant.
Want to hold my hand?
[Jake] So what we gonna do?
I'm just gonna have to take care of it.
So I have no say in this?
I care about what you think,
but this is my body,
so the decision is mine.
All right, now. Look at you.
If I'ma be city councilman,
I figure I should dress the part.
You wear it well.
You want to get out of here?

Not here.
[Shaad] Guess you can sleep on the couch for now.
The proper response is "thank you."
Thank you.
What's wrong?
Some fool tried to rob Smokey's today.
Are you serious?
[Emmett] Hell yeah.

I'm a grown-ass man.
[Jada] Mm.
-Hey. -Yeah.
It's you for me.
So what you saying?
You know, I'm putting in my retirement papers.
I'm like MJ in '98, baby.
I'm quitting while I'm still on top.
-Shit. -Oh, my God.
Put in some hall of fame numbers in my career,
but it's time for old Darnell to walk away from the game.
You know you crazy, right?
Completely crazy, completely crazy.
Mm. Yeah, crazy 'bout you.
You know the next man I live with
gonna be my husband, right?
See? That's what I thought.
You're so good at that.
[Emmett] I'm a Scorpio, baby.
You know what I'm saying?
-[Emmett laughs] -You stupid.
I know that look.
You do?
[Emmett sighs]
I know all your looks.
I'm your look translator.
What am I thinking?
You thinking about me.
What else?
You want to know what this.
What is it?
This can be whatever we want it to be.
What do you want it to be?
I want you to be the last ex I get back with.
What?
Nah, nah, I don't mean it like that.
I'm saying...
I don't want to do this shit no more.
I want to be with you for good.
You been riding with me for a long time.
Yeah, we've been through a lot.
So you in this with me or not?
Yeah, I'm in it with you.
Shit.
You change your mind already?
No.
I'm realizing between us, we got four kids.
-[laughs] -Hell yeah.
What'd I get myself into?
Some real love.
Are you worried?
Hell no.
Ronnie like my son anyway.
I got us.
We got us.
[Emmett chuckles]
You know what we got to do now, right?
Mm-hmm, we got to go to round two.
No, we gotta tell Tiff.
What?
No, we don't.
She's my friend, and she's your soon-to-be ex-wife.
Right now, she living with some random nigga.
He's not random.
I think he's the one for her.
That's cool, but why we talking about them niggas?
Because we can't hide that we're together, Emmett.
Tiff didn't tell me shit.
So I ain't gotta say shit to her.
[scoffs] You really about to have me
smelling like weed in church.
Tell Tierra I'm sorry.
I take it you're not a believer.
Why you say that?
Oh, my fault. I shouldn't be assuming.
I believe in all the gods.
-[Victor] Mm. -All right?
[Fatima chuckles]
[Victor groans]
Mm.
I wish I could lay here all day.

Okay. You want people to remember it?
People gonna remember me.
Just let me send you a playlist
of some great rap songs with catchy hooks.
Okay, but that don't mean I'm gonna add one.
I'm just trying to help.
[Maisha] Did I ask for your help?
Yes!
You asked for my feedback.
I wanted you to say it was good.

Look, if we're gonna do this,

Never mind.
No.
What do you mean by-- [phone chimes]
Oh, shit.
What?
I just got invited to this underground gaming group.
What's that?
It's like this secret group for gamers
where they compete for teams
and, you know, play for money.
Is it a lot of money?
Can be.
Hm. Well, congrats.
Want to come with me?
Not really.
Aw, come on.
You know I'm not into gaming.
Yeah, but you into me.
That doesn't mean I want to go.
But I'll come and give you good energy.
Thank you.
What?
I want to meet your supplier.
Why?
'Cause sometimes I feel like I work for you.
You know we partners.
Then come up off that contact.
My connect like to be discreet.
Don't you trust me?
Seem to me like you the one
that got a hard time trusting folk.
I don't like depending on anybody.
I can see that.
I just want a little bit of independence.
All right.
I'll set it up.
You will?
Yeah.
You surprised?
Maybe.

I like surprising you.

Ooh.
I told you it was some shit.
But she's right.
See, I knew you was gonna agree with her.
Now that's why ain't want to tell you nothing.
You always on her side.
You can't hide your new relationship
from the mother of your child.
I'm not trying to hide my relationship.
I'm trying to be drama-free.
How you trying to be drama-free,
and you don't want to have the hard conversation?
Why do niggas always do dumb shit,
but then don't want to fess up to it?
I fessed up to fucking you.
And look where it landed you.
Right where you supposed to be.
Mm-hmm.
I see what you saying.
When are y'all gonna learn?
Everything falls into place when you tell the truth.
So the truth will set me free?
I mean, it did almost get your father clocked
for calling me your mother's name when we was having sex.
Can we not talk about you fucking my father, please?
I'm saying, your mother is gorgeous,
and if he was honest, then I could have been the third.

Perfect.
Thank you.

We need more of this in our world.

Sister Peele, your kind words mean so much to us.
Now, Sister Peele, if I decide to run for city council,
can I count on your vote?
You better believe it.
Yes.
And you know I'll have a block club meeting
and tell all my girls what to do.
-Oh-- -Yes, you tell 'em.
Now, you let us know if you need
a ride to the fundraiser tonight.
We'll have someone pick you up, okay?
Thank you, baby.
-Of course. Of course. -Thank you.
Love her.
-Yeah, she's everything. -Oh, my gosh.
This is great. How you feeling?
Hey. Have you, uh, made a decision
on when you're going to announce your candidacy?
-Well-- -Sometime in the spring.
We haven't quite confirmed it yet.
So we'll keep that between us?
-Of course. -Thank you.
I wanted to offer up the church
as a location, for when the big day comes.
Announcing your candidacy in a church is a great idea.
What do you think, honey?
Uh, we'll think about it.
[Tierra] Whatever you think is best.
Let's get one with the three of you.
Praise the Lord.
[both] Praise the Lord.
I'm gonna go get some air.

that Tierra is something special.

Emmett, this better not be no last-ditch effort
to get me back, okay?
I'm not trying to hear you beg right now.
Just come over!
What's going on? You straight?
I don't know.
But it better be fucking important.
This community has come a long way in the past year.
Fix your posture.
[Victor] Sup, Mom?
You mind if I listen?
[Tierra] That is a great idea.
Victor, let's take it from where we left off.
Okay.
But this is only the beginning.
Don't forget to make eye contact.
But how am I supposed to make eye contact
and read the speech at the same time?
This is why we're practicing.
Okay.
[clears throat]
Our journey reminds me of a battle
my mother is currently facing.
I'm still working on this part.
[Tierra] Again, that's why we're here.
Continue.
She's currently battling her addiction to alcohol,
and by watching her journey to recovery,
I've learned that...
somber music
I-I can't do this.
[Tierra] Victor.
We've discussed this.
You have to be vulnerable.
No. I don't know about this.
[Tierra] Maybe she could inspire
someone else's sobriety.
Okay. Let's go again.
[door clicks]
[faint music playing on stereo]
[sighs] Shit. All right.
[breathing deeply]
Why ain't we talking at the house?
I wanted to do this in a public place.
What's wrong with you?
You want some pop or something?
-No. -[Emmett mumbling indistinctly]
Now, what you gotta tell me?
All right.
[sighs]
Me and Kiesha...
...want to be together.
-Emmett... -[Emmett] But we wanted you
to know.
I just wanted to put it out there.
Everything is-is out there.
I just wanted to tell the truth.
This is the new me.
What happened to you being celibate?
[Emmett] Uh...
...I decided to break the pact--
-So y'all fucked? -Wait.
Hold up.
When was the first time, Emmett?
I ain't bring you here to interrogate my ass.
Were y'all fucking when we were together?
Hell nah.
It just started.
Out of all the bitches in Chicago,
you had to go and fuck Kiesha?
It's not just sex, Tiff.
I can't believe this shit.
You the one that said you ain't want to be my wife no more.
-Remember that? -Is that why you doing this?
No, but you moved on. So can I.
That morning when I left,
was that Kiesha you was dreaming about?
Wow.
Fuck you.

Mom, can I tell you a secret?
What kind of secret?
A big one.
Okay, now you're scaring me.
Jemma pregnant.
Oh, Lord.
I'm sorry.
Don't apologize now.
What y'all gonna do about it?
I want to keep it.
What does she want?
I don't know.
Who else have you told?
Just her dad.
What about Victor?
I tried to tell him, but I got scared.
What are you afraid of?
Him being mad.
You are gonna be a better parent to your child
than I was to you.
You did the best you could.
Thank you.
You gotta tell him.

Baby, you move me

You make me wanna dance

Don't it make you move
Oh, yeah
-Wait, hold up, hold up. -What?
We at the O'Jays concert?
No. No, no, no, no.
Not quite. Come on.
[Darnell] Damn.
-Uh-huh. -Okay. All right.
All right. Here we-here we go.
Ay! [laughing]
You brought me to the Stepper's Set.
Aw, shucks.
-Woman, you something else. -[Jada] Mmm.
-You know that? -[Jada] Mm-hmm.
I had to take my date out for the best.
Yeah, well, I hope you ready to sweat your hair out.

-Come here, woman. - Baby, you move me
- Just like that old song - Like a love song
You make me wanna dance
And sing along, yeah, yeah
Well, lovin' like this...
[Victor] But this is only the beginning.
Our journey reminds me of a similar one
undertaken by my...
...by my dearest friend, Rashaad.
We call him Shaad for short.
Shaad was once described
as being a menace to society,
when he was judged by a jury of 12 people
who had no idea what it was like to walk in his shoes.
They took years from his life,
and he became a man behind bars.
But now, now he's dedicated his life
to mentoring boys who remind him of his younger self.
It's been an honor to watch him flourish in his freedom
and set others free as well.
Now, for those that have said they want to see
more positive images of Black men in our community,
they don't need to look any further than Rashaad.
He is proof that who you were
isn't who you always have to be,
and I can't think of a more positive image than that.
So please join me as I give a round of applause
to my brother from another, Rashaad.
[cheers and applause]
dramatic music
[laughter]
-[Victor] Let's do it. -[person] Absolutely.
This is Peaches, Victor's mother.
Ah, you must be so proud.
[Peaches] I am.
Can I talk to you?
Yes. Excuse us.
What happened?
I wasn't ready to be vulnerable.
You think I'm gonna relapse, don't you?
No, I-I just think we should give it more time, that's all.
The hell that supposed to mean?
Look, this is not just your story to tell.
It's me and Jake's, too,
and I want to know how it ends before I decide to tell it.
What's up, man?
[indistinct conversation]
Did she tell you about the initiative, right?
[indistinct chatter]
[laughter] Thank you.
I would like to thank each and every one of you
for coming out to support the ROCK.
From what I'm hearing, we've already exceeded
our expectations for tonight's fundraiser.
[applause]
You have any idea what this is about?
-Nobody told me anything. -Hm.
[Roselyn] Well, ladies and gentlemen,
now it's time for me to unveil
what tonight is really all about--
the future.
In 2024,
this will be our new ROCK Center.

-What? -[Roselyn] With your continued
support, we plan on breaking ground
on the new facility next fall.
[indistinct murmurs]
You ain't know about this?
Fuck no.
May I have a minute?
So how long y'all been plottin' that shit?
-I can't tell you everything. -Mm.
Look, y'all can't be making moves without telling us.
You know you work for us,
not the other way around.
Hold-hold on. We ain't done.
Excuse me.
Hey--
-What? -Where Ma go?
Man, give me a minute, all right?
Nah, I want to know now.
Hey, man, don't be talking back to me.
Give me a minute.
[Darnell] Yeah.
We getting old, woman.
-[chuckles] -[Jada] Mm-mm.
-[Darnell] Yeah. -Please, I ain't getting old.
We would have still been out there
if you wouldn't have thrown out your back.
[both laugh]
Hey, I told you I can only dip you once.
Nobody told you to be showing off.

Thank you for tonight.
This was really nice.
Well, the night ain't over yet.

Yeah.
Family just stressing me out, that's all.
I know the feeling.
Are we really making a difference?
Or are we wasting our time?
Depends on the day.
I feel like I'm losing myself.
No. Tonight, it looked like
you finally stepped into yourself,
like that's where you were always supposed to be.
I feel like I'm playing a role.
It's working.
What about you?
What you mean?
I mean, don't you feel like everything we built
is slipping through our fingers?
Sometimes, I feel like I don't have
what it takes to be the face of ROCK.
There would be no ROCK without you.
You started all of this.
You're a real light in this community.
I got a dark side too.
soft dramatic music
I'm the reason why Coogie got killed.
What?
I sent Ronnie after whoever killed our son,
and for whatever reason...
...Coogie had on Jason's chain that night,
and Ronnie shot him.
That's-that's not your fault.
You were hurting.
Well, Coogie and Bakari are friends,
and that's why he killed Ronnie.
It was retaliation.
Shit.
Sometimes, I think I did all this
just to try to prove to people that I'm a good person.
Well, you-you are a good person.
How can I be?
-I just-- -You know,
hurt people do fucked up shit sometimes.
It don't make us bad people.
Just...
...just means we're human.
Yeah?
[indistinct chatter on TV]
Hey.
Hi.
Guess who got recruited.
Recruited to what?
You're not supposed to tell anyone.
Ah, yeah.
Oh, now y'all got secrets.
Not me.
So you're not gonna tell me what it is?
It's supposed to be a secret, you know?
Your girl knows.
Yeah, but she was there when I got the text.
Yeah, 'cause y'all glued at the hip.
No.
-Nah. -[Kevin] Yeah.
No. No, we're not.
Yes, y'all are.
I barely see your ass anymore.
My bad.
You gotta get better at time management.
I told you we should have talked to her together.
You being there would not have helped.
I get it.
Did you text her?
Yeah.
She text you back?
No.
When you send the text?
Four hours ago.
Fuck.
I hate this.
It's gonna be a'ight.
Promise.

[line ringing]
[voicemail] The mailbox is full.
Headstrong don't make you intellectual
Just 'cause you got an opinion
That don't make you right
Just like two wrongs, that don't make a what?
And if you in the wrong situation
And it always coming up
Listening to your story
Something just ain't adding up
Really good off, they're always keeping me a back-up
So much going on in the world, can you back up?
Turned over a new leaf, please don't make me act up
Bitch, you hear that?
It's just a bunch of lies
Blaming everybody else
'Cause you can't prioritize...
You finna tell me what's wrong?
Nothing.
You lying.
I don't want to talk about it.
-It's that bad? -Yes!
If we gonna do this,
we gotta talk to each other.
Emmett and Kiesha are together now.
[Rob sighs] Your Kiesha?
Yes, my Kiesha.
I guess she his now.
[Tiff] This not funny, Rob.
Why do you care?
Because that's my ex-husband
and one of my closest friends.
But let's just put the emphasis
on it being your ex-husband.
Our divorce ain't final.
That's still messy as hell.
Love is messy.
Rob, why you can't ever just take my side?
Damn!
soft music
Look,
this ain't gonna be the easiest of situations,
but we grown.
Grown as hell.
You only get one life to live.
If she can make dude happy...
...let's let them be happy.
You sure you want to do this?
Yeah. Yeah.
Wow.
Are you excited?
I'm scared.
Me too.
But...
I'm happy.
Same.
[both chuckle]
[knock on door]
[volunteer] Peaches?
If you're in there, can you open up, please?
[knock on door]
Okay, Peaches, we're gonna come in.
Guess she didn't come home last night.
It happens.
Yeah.
I know.
[volunteer] Maybe she'll realize this is where
she needs to be, and she'll make her way back.
I hope so.
Thank you.
somber music
[Peaches] I don't know how my story will end...
...but I know I don't want it to end
with my boys feeling like I've disappointed them again.
So I'm gonna leave you with the memory
of me being sober and clear.
I love you both with all my heart.
Goodbye for now.
