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.

WELL, WELL, WELL.
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
WITH YOU ALL LATER.
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
DOING THE BIG COOKIE--
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
TO YOU LIKE THAT.
FORGET THIS.
DILLON, LISTEN, MAN.
OLIVIA: IT'S OK.
WE'LL--WE'LL
GET ANOTHER ONE.
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
IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
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.

[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

-I'M GONNA CHECK ON DILLON.
-NO, NO, NO, NO. I GOT IT.
YOU NEED TO GO

I AIN'T REALLY IN THE WHOLE
PARTY VIBE RIGHT NOW.
NO, NO. DON'T GIVE
THAT WOMAN OR THOSE
COPS THAT POWER.

HEY, YOU WERE PRETTY
BAD-ASS, TOO.
I DIDN'T DO THAT MUCH.
YOU CALLED THE OWNER
OUT ON HER B.S.
YOU SPOKE UP.
YEAH, 'CAUSE SHE TRIED
TO BLOW UP OUR LIVES
THE SAME WAY
BARBECUE BECKY DID.
I GUESS I CAN ADD

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.
