485, 86, 87...
That's 10 dollars' worth of nickels. That's 497.
That mean I owe you three more dollars.
This should be worth five bucks.
You just keep the change.
Thank you.
Yo, I got some exciting news.
-Guess who got his car fixed. -Uh-uh.
I don't have time for guessing games, Booker.
Jason Momoa just cut his leg,
and he-- he took his shirt off to make a tourniquet.
Mama, that's Aquaman.
You won't even get your hair wet.
For Momoa, I'll take my wig off.
That's a weird thing to say in front of your son and your dad.
What are you going on about?
I got my car fixed.
Janine is ready to roll.
So, you're telling me you raised the funds on your own,
bought an engine,
hired a mechanic to put it in your car
without any help from either one of us?
Yep.
[both laughing]
-He got jokes, ain't he? -Why you lying? You lying.
I got-- I'm serious.
Oh, hi, Serious. I'm Mrs. Jason Momoa.
I'm not kidding.
Look, here's the receipt.
Oh, wow.
Oh, wow! He actually did it.
-Why do you sound so surprised? -'Cause I am surprised.
I'm proud of you.
Well, Ma, riding on that pride,
I'm gonna ask you something. You have to promise me you won't say no.
I can't promise, but I'll try my best.
Okay.
Will you let me drive my car to the basketball game tonight?
Yes, Booker, you cannot.
♪ Ha ha! Let me tell you something♪
♪ Had my vision all worked out♪
-♪ But then life had other plans ♪ - Tell 'em, Mom♪
♪ It's crazy when things Turn upside down♪

[laughs] Yep, that's us.
Oh, come on, Mom. Why can't I drive to the game?
Yeah, Rae, why won't you let him drive?
You sound like somebody who's afraid to let their baby bird fly out the nest.
Yeah, yeah, and this baby bird, he need to fly.
If he could fly, he wouldn't need to drive.
I get it, Raven. You're nervous.
I was a wreck, too, the first time you got behind the wheel.
And when did you stop being so nervous?
I'm hoping any day now.
Look, I been in the car with Booker. He's an excellent driver.
Yeah, yeah, and the school's not that far away.
I promise, Ma, I'll drive super careful, all right?
I'll drive like an old man.
I'll drive like Grandpa Vic.
I'm done helping.
Please, Ma?
Okay, but listen, Booker.
When that game is over, I need you to come straight home.
-Don't stop. Don't go anywhere. -Deal.
-Okay, and no on the phone and driving. -No problem.
And I don't want anybody else in that car, Booker. Not one person.
The only person in that car will be me, all right?
So-- So can I go?
-Yeah, you can go. -Yes!
Thank you, Ma! I better go figure out what I'ma wear.
How about a shirt, some pants, and a seat belt?
-You're doing the right thing, Raven. -Uh-uh. Don't talk to me.
Mr. "I'ma get him a car with no engine. Ooh, he'll never get it fixed."
Who knew he'd be so responsible?
I thought he'd take after you.
Hey, Alice.
You excited about going to Dylan's birthday party?
What? Dylan's party isn't today.
I'm going to the dentist.
Dylan's party is today, but Tasha wasn't invited.
So I'm gonna need you to watch her.
Watch her? She's just a doll.
"Just a doll"? What if I called you "just a Pop -Pop"?
[gasps]
Hurts, doesn't it?
Here are her favorite things,
a list of instructions and emergency contacts.
Emergency contacts? What do you think is gonna happen to her?
Nothing, if you follow the instructions.
[car honking]
That's my ride. I'm out.
Have fun.
I'm gonna open Tasha's eyes to the riveting world of pro football.
[snickers] Oh, Pop-Pop. Check page 42 of the instruction manual.
Tasha doesn't do sports.
I'll see you later.
What's up, Booker?
The price of gas.
How would I know?
Because I drove here.
So that's why you were walking down the hall in slow motion.
Nah, I was traveling at the speed of cool.
-Hey. -Hey.
Booker drove Janine here.
Nice, dude.
Did you do a few laps around the school so people could see you?
Tell me you're not a dude who needs that kind of attention.
-Ivy, you know me. -You did it.
Of course I did it.
Yeah, I tried that,
but since I don't have a car, people just thought I was jogging, so...
Okay. Yeah, I'm coming.
You don't have to yell.
[snickering] The mouth on that guy.
All right, see you after the game.
I'll be the guy in the parking lot
-leaning on his car. -Why are you yelling?
How else are people supposed to hear that I have a car?
-[sports crowd on TV] -Come on, ref. Call something.
We haven't seen a flag since the national anthem.
Go. Go.
Go, go, go, go, go, go! Yes!
-Ha, ha. -[snaps]
Ooh. That didn't sound good.
-[referee on TV] Unnecessary roughness.-Unnecessary roughness?
But it was an accident.
[referee on TV] Fifteen-yard penalty.
If Alice sees this, it's definitely gonna be a penalty.
[Booker] Hey, that was a great game.
Who knew Neil was gonna hit the game-winning shot?
Yeah, not me. I lost five bucks.
Oh, yeah, you did. Pay up.
I never would've figured Evelyn Darksoul for a basketball fan.
She came to last year's championship game.
She even smiled.
-Did you guys win? -No, we lost.
The whole team was crying.
She loved it.
I gotta go.
Oh, hey, can I get a ride?
-In my car? -No, on your back.
Yes, in your car.
Oh, you're giving Ivy a ride? Cool. Can you drop me off too?
-I don't know. -What do you mean you don't know?
I helped you run that hotel to get money for your car.
And I didn't talk you two out of running that hotel to get money for your car.
So when you think about it, this is basically our car.
Yeah, but...
[whooshing]
Dropped everyone off and didn't get in trouble.
So, you giving us a ride or what?
And please don't say "or what."
Looks like I'm giving you two a ride. [laughs] Just the three of us.
Why are there five people in this car?
I am not telling him that his car smells like feet and onions.
Cuda says thanks for giving him a ride home, Booker.
You're welcome.
Hey, why'd you offer Darksoul a ride home?
I'm trying to make more female friends.
We'll get there.
Ooh. There's a Blimpo's! Let's go through the drive -through.
Nope. Nope. I just wanna get everyone to their destinations without any mishaps.
But it's right there!
I could eat.
I know Cuda's hungry, and I heard Darksoul's stomach growling.
Or she was growling. Either way, we should go to Blimpo's.
Guys, no.
[both] Blimpo's! Blimpo's! Blimpo's! Blimpo's!
-Blimpo's! Blimpo's! Blimpo's! -Okay, fine!
Fine, we'll go to Blimpo's.
-Yes! -Yeah!
[Alice] Thank you! See you next time!
Hey, Alice.
You're back. I bet you're exhausted.
Why don't you go upstairs and take a nap?
Or maybe you're hungry for ice cream or candy
or for anything that's not in this room.
What's going on?
Tasha's fine.
Why'd you say Tasha's fine?
Because she is. Do you want candy or not?
They only had carrot cake at that party, so yes.
-[door opens, shuts] -[murmuring] Oh, boy.
This is not good. What am I gonna do?
[gasps] Ooh.
Hey, Dave, it's Victor.
I need your help.
No, I'm not stuck on a slackline again.
It was one time!
Does everyone know what they want?
'Cause we gotta be in and out.
[server] Welcome to Blimpo's, home of the delicious Lemon Pie.
Would you like to try our delicious Lemon Pie?
-No, thank you. -Wait a minute, Booker.
-Pie sounds good. -[server] One pie.
-Actually, make that two. -[server] Two pies.
-Actually, make that four pies. -[server] Four pies.
-You don't want a pie? -Fine. Five pies.
[server] I'm sorry, sir. We're out of pies.
-Then why'd you ask if I wanted pie? -[server] Because we're Blimpo's.
Home of the delicious Lemon Pie.
[cell phone ringing]
[gasps] It's my mom! Be quiet!
[server] Who are you telling to be quiet? Don't make me come out there.
Oh, no, I'm sorry. Um, I wasn't talking to you. Just give me a second.
Shh. Everybody, be quiet. I'm not supposed to have anyone in the car with me.
Wait, what?
Hey, Mommy.
You said, "Mommy." What's wrong?
You in peril, Son? Sounds like you're in peril.
No, no. I'm fine, you know?
I'm just on my way home,
by myself, like you said.
I also said no talking and driving.
I pulled to the side of the road to answer so you wouldn't worry.
[server] What do you want? You're holding up my line.
Who was that? Who was that? Wait a second.
You at Blimpo's?
Yeah, uh, this is where I pulled into, you know?
I figured I'd get some food, and it'd be okay since it's on the way.
[server] Did you want anything else besides the five pies?
Five pies?
Yeah, I was, um-- I was getting some for the family.
[chuckles] You know, like a responsible kid.
That's nice.
That's real nice.
Okay, Son. Well, get home safe.
-I will. -[Raven] Oh, wait, uh, Booker. Hey,
why don't you pick me up a sweet tea, a fry, ooh, ooh, and a lemon pie.
[server] For the last time, we're out of pies!
Out of pies? How you out of pies?
Why are you even open, Blimpo's? That don't make no sense!
Oh, thank goodness!
You're a lifesaver, Dave.
Wait, how'd you get the doll so fast?
You know what? Probably best I don't know.
-[door opens] -Hey, Pop-Pop.
-Hey, Alice. -[door closes]
-Where's Tasha? -Tasha's right here.
Thanks for watching her. [chuckles]
My pleasure.
Um, Pop-Pop.
Can I ask you something?
Sure, Alice.
Who is this?
Wh-What do you mean, "Who is this?" [chuckles]
That's Tasha.
This is not Tasha.
Oh, what's that? Mm-hmm.
[speaks Spanish]
Just as I suspected.
This girl speaks Spanish.
Spanish?
I left you with, "What's that, Tasha?"
And you're trying to give me...
[speaks Spanish]
Alice, there's something I need to tell you.
[gasps] Tasha!
It was an accident.
We were watching the football game, and I got excited,
and Tasha got sat on.
I tried to put her back together, but nothing worked.
So you thought you could fool me with a fake Tasha?
A mother knows her child.
But this doll brand new.
You could get to know her. Problem solved.
Solved?
Me and Tasha had plans.
We were gonna go to ESSENCE Fest.
I'm sorry, Alice.
Wait.
What's that, Tasha?
[sighs] Take your time, girl.
What's she saying?
What do you think she's saying?
She's saying, "Put my head back on."
Come on, man.
Hey.
Do you think there's something going on between Cuda and Evelyn Darksoul?
He was staring at her all night.
It's probably because his eyes are on the side of his head.
Hey, thanks for the ride.
You know, you could've just told us your mom said not to have anybody in the car.
Well, I was going to, but you guys wouldn't stop talking about my car.
You wouldn't stop talking about your car.
The point is, everyone was talking about my car.
And I didn't wanna let you down.
We're your friends. We would've understood.
[door creaks, slams]
Uh. Door.
Hey, I'll wait here till you get inside.
Thanks. Good night, Booker.
Dropped everyone off and didn't get in trouble.
Hey. Finally, a vision actually worked out.
[police siren beeps, wails]
Yep.
I spoke too soon.
Okay, Booker, stay cool.
Remember what Mom told you. All right?
Keep your hands on the steering wheel, no sudden moves,
and only use "sir" or "ma'am."
Hello, sir or ma'am. What seems to be the problem?
What are you doing in this neighborhood? You lost?
-No, sir. -Where you coming from?
A basketball game. I was just dropping my friend off, I--
License and registration.
Slowly.
Here you go.
Not my best photo.
I was going through this weird JAY-Z phase.
-Booker, what happened? -Whoa, this doesn't concern you.
-But he-- -I'm not gonna tell you again.
Go.
Excuse me, Officer, can I ask why you pulled me over?
As an officer of the law, I have the right to stop anybody who looks suspicious.
Suspicious?
What's that I smell on your breath?
Blimpo's. They ain't had no pie though.
All right, funnyman, get out of the car.
-Glue gun. -Glue gun.
-Pliers. -Pliers.
Be careful! You're gonna nick the elastic!
I can't get it. My hands are shaking. It's too much pressure.
Out of the way.
I've almost got it.
Quench me.
[slurps]
Either this works, or we lose her.
I've done all I can do.
It's up to her now.
-Did it work? -Shh.
[whispering] Sorry.
What's that, Tasha?
You knew I went to the party?
And not the dentist?
Aw, she's back.
And she's mad.
I'm just glad she's okay.
Alice, I am sorry I didn't take better care of Tasha.
And I'm even more sorry that I lied to you about it.
The important thing is that we learn from our mistakes.
-I made a mistake too, today. -What's that?
Leaving her with you.
-[both laugh] -[cell phone rings]
Ivy?
What?
Stopped by the cops?
Alice, I want you to stay right here.
I'm gonna be right outside.
-So this is your car, huh? -Yes, sir.
Then why's it say it's registered to a "Victor Baxter"?
That's my granddad. He gave it to me.
Does he know he gave it to you?
Wait, you-- you think I stole this car?
Guys that look like you usually do.
I'm telling you the truth. And I swear, if you let me call my granddad--
You can call him from down at the station. Give me your hand.
-Hey, hey, hey! What's going on? -This doesn't concern you, sir.
That's my grandson, so it does concern me.
-So he really is your grandson? -Isn't that what he told you?
Grandpa, he said I look suspicious.
I'm just doing my job, okay?
-I see a kid like him-- -A kid like what?
Oh, come on. You know what I mean.
Unfortunately, I do.
Sir, this is not about race.
I didn't bring up race. You did.
If you have a complaint, there is a number you can call.
Oh, I don't need the number.
I will talk to my friend, Chief Thomas,
when he comes to my restaurant tomorrow morning for coffee.
-You know Police Chief Thomas? -I do.
And I'll make sure that he knows you, Officer Riley.
[sighs]
Uh, this is a-- This is just a misunderstanding.
Uh, have a good night.
-[Alice] Booker! -[Ivy breathing heavily]
Are you okay?
Ivy, can you take Alice upstairs and help her get ready for bed?
Come on, Alice.
Grandpa, I don't get it.
All right, I didn't do anything wrong,
and that cop still treated me like I'm a criminal just because I'm Black.
-It's not fair. -You're right. It's not.
Grandpa, I followed the rules. Okay?
I did everything you and Mom told me and it still happened,
-so what's the point? -The point?
The point is to keep you safe.
I don't feel safe.
You know, sometimes, neither do I.
Unfortunately, the-- the system is broken.
There's-- There's still a lot of bad cops out there, and tonight--
Hm-hmm.
Tonight, you met one of them.
Man, this is so messed up.
It is.
That's why we're gonna hold 'em accountable.
That's how we change the system.
We need to speak up and continue to speak up.
You okay?
I don't know.
I'm scared.
I'm angry.
But you're alive.
["Wake Up Everybody" playing]
Hey, Grandpa, can we keep this little incident between us?
Keeping this from your mom is gonna be harder than you think.
-Why? -[Raven] Booker!
-Because you already told her? -Yeah.
Mom, I can explain, all right? They shouldn't have--
I don't care. You're safe.
[sighs] I love you so much.
I love you too, Mom.
