171
00:13:10,249 --> 00:13:13,502
Thematically,
what does his narrative touch on?
172
00:13:14,086 --> 00:13:16,839
[student] How a community can
help each other through challenging times.
173
00:13:17,798 --> 00:13:19,967
It reflects core American values of unity.
174
00:13:21,844 --> 00:13:24,388
Obviously, Christianity becomes a theme.
175
00:13:24,888 --> 00:13:27,516
[teacher] All good points.
Let's continue the reading.
176
00:13:27,516 --> 00:13:29,309
Um, Casey.
177
00:13:30,978 --> 00:13:34,356
"The concrete highway was edged
with a mat of tangled, broken, dry grass,
178
00:13:34,356 --> 00:13:38,068
and the grass heads were heavy
with oat beards to catch on a dog's coat,
179
00:13:38,068 --> 00:13:40,863
and foxtails to tangle
in a horse's fetlocks."
180
00:13:41,405 --> 00:13:44,283
Never thought Phil
would get the opportunity
181
00:13:44,283 --> 00:13:49,955
to go to a place like Cedar Cove,
but it's not a lot of Black faces though.
182
00:13:51,123 --> 00:13:55,419
I mean, right now he's got
Black classmates, Black teachers.
183
00:13:56,295 --> 00:14:01,049
Here it's almost all white.
I mean, yeah, it's 15 to a class.
184
00:14:01,049 --> 00:14:04,887
There's like 35 students to a class
at Seat Pleasant. [sighs]
185
00:14:07,222 --> 00:14:08,223
[Ike sighs]
186
00:14:09,266 --> 00:14:10,642
What do you think of this place?
187
00:14:11,894 --> 00:14:14,313
[scoffs] It's only my second day here.
188
00:14:14,313 --> 00:14:18,609
Yeah, but you took the job.
Like, how come?
189
00:14:19,109 --> 00:14:20,527
A place like this...
190
00:14:24,031 --> 00:14:28,660
it can either make a kid,
or it could break a kid.
191
00:14:28,660 --> 00:14:30,829
Break a kid, like, how?
192
00:14:31,455 --> 00:14:35,751
If Cedar Cove makes Phil think he has
to be someone other than himself,
193
00:14:36,835 --> 00:14:38,670
then it's destructive.
194
00:14:41,507 --> 00:14:45,385
But if he could keep it a hundred
and do well,
195
00:14:46,762 --> 00:14:50,307
I don't know, it could open up some doors.
196
00:14:52,643 --> 00:14:53,644
[sighs]
197
00:14:56,271 --> 00:14:58,607
- The Jace Carson...
- Yeah, he coming.
198
00:14:58,607 --> 00:15:01,902
...taking time out
of his busy schedule to give me a tour?
199
00:15:01,902 --> 00:15:03,987
Wow, I'm honored.
200
00:15:03,987 --> 00:15:06,782
[counselor chuckles] I'll leave you
in his capable hands.
201
00:15:07,366 --> 00:15:08,867
- Thanks for everything.
- [phone chimes]
202
00:15:11,662 --> 00:15:14,164
What's up, Big Zero? What's good, boy?
203
00:15:14,164 --> 00:15:16,208
- [chuckles] What's up, bro?
- Cool, my man.
204
00:15:16,750 --> 00:15:18,544
- Hey, this place is crazy.
- [Royale] What's up, Phil?
205
00:15:18,544 --> 00:15:22,130
Damn, y'all really pulling
out the red carpet for a brother.
206
00:15:22,130 --> 00:15:23,215
What's up, dawg?
207
00:15:23,215 --> 00:15:26,844
Hey, the best player need the best NFTs.
Let me put you on real quick.
208
00:15:26,844 --> 00:15:28,053
{\an8}What?
209
00:15:30,055 --> 00:15:35,352
{\an8}Oh. Oh. That does hit different. [scoffs]
210
00:15:35,352 --> 00:15:37,020
- [chuckles] Right?
- [Phil] Okay.
211
00:15:37,020 --> 00:15:39,648
Hey, when you in your own lane,
Phil, there's no traffic.
212
00:15:39,648 --> 00:15:43,527
All right, look, you commit to Cedar Cove,
I'll consult you on your NIL portfolios.
213
00:15:43,527 --> 00:15:45,696
And, look,
between my debate team experience
214
00:15:45,696 --> 00:15:48,115
and my basketball skills,
I'm a one-stop shop.
215
00:15:48,115 --> 00:15:50,242
- He ain't lying.
- [chuckles] Okay, Royale.
216
00:15:50,242 --> 00:15:54,997
And listen, everyone comes to our games.
Think your little D1 offers are cool now?
217
00:15:54,997 --> 00:15:56,790
[Nick]
They'll triple the second you put on
218
00:15:56,790 --> 00:15:58,208
- a Cedar Cove jersey.
- That's right.
219
00:15:58,208 --> 00:15:59,543
Okay, Mendez.
220
00:16:00,836 --> 00:16:02,796
- I didn't even see you coming, fool.
- [Jace chuckles]
221
00:16:02,796 --> 00:16:05,966
Well, I mean,
I really do blend here, man. [chuckles]
222
00:16:05,966 --> 00:16:09,636
Well, get your chopsticks, bro.
They serve sushi in the cafeteria.
223
00:16:09,636 --> 00:16:11,221
- [Musa] Real talk.
- [Phil] For real?
224
00:16:11,221 --> 00:16:13,557
- Hi, Jace, who's your friend?
- Jessica,
225
00:16:13,557 --> 00:16:16,643
- this is your soon-to-be classmate, Phil.
- What's going on?
226
00:16:17,436 --> 00:16:19,062
- How you doing?
- Can I get a picture?
227
00:16:19,062 --> 00:16:21,148
- [Phil] Why not?
- [Royale] For sure.
228
00:16:21,148 --> 00:16:22,232
Come on, get in here.
229
00:16:25,068 --> 00:16:26,195
[Royale chuckles]
230
00:16:26,195 --> 00:16:30,407
- Your hair. It's so cool.
- [Royale groaning] Oh.
231
00:16:30,407 --> 00:16:32,159
- Bye, guys.
- [Nick] Ooh.
232
00:16:32,159 --> 00:16:33,327
Wow.
233
00:16:33,327 --> 00:16:35,245
- [Drew] Really?
- Oh, my God. Did you get it?
234
00:16:35,245 --> 00:16:36,455
- [Musa] Oh my-- Shit.
- Bruh.
235
00:16:36,455 --> 00:16:37,873
I feel you, no cap.
236
00:16:37,873 --> 00:16:41,335
- There's some things about this school.
- Yeah. [chuckles] Say less.
237
00:16:41,335 --> 00:16:44,254
Yo, at the end of the day, you got us.
238
00:16:44,838 --> 00:16:46,798
And come next year,
who knows where all of us are gonna be?
239
00:16:46,798 --> 00:16:48,050
[Royale] Yeah, man.
240
00:16:48,050 --> 00:16:50,552
You're not supporting cast.
You're the missing piece.
241
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,931
This is our last chance
to all be on the same team.
242
00:16:53,931 --> 00:16:56,600
If we gotta go out,
we should go out as brothers.
243
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:57,809
- That's right.
- [Royale] For real.
244
00:16:57,809 --> 00:16:58,977
[Musa] Back together, bro.
245
00:16:58,977 --> 00:17:04,191
Big Phil, this could be the best
birthday present you ever gave me.
246
00:17:04,191 --> 00:17:05,192
[chuckling]
247
00:17:29,967 --> 00:17:30,968
[sighs]
248
00:17:33,679 --> 00:17:35,180
[R & B music playing]
249
00:18:24,396 --> 00:18:25,898
Yo, big man.
250
00:18:25,898 --> 00:18:27,149
What's good, Crystal?
251
00:18:27,149 --> 00:18:30,569
I heard a rumor that you leaving us
for some country club school.
252
00:18:30,569 --> 00:18:31,653
[student] Hi, Crystal.
253
00:18:31,653 --> 00:18:33,822
I haven't made my mind up yet.
254
00:18:34,364 --> 00:18:37,367
Basketball-wise,
I'd get way more visibility,
255
00:18:37,367 --> 00:18:41,371
but I don't know about the culture
over there where it's all cool
256
00:18:41,371 --> 00:18:45,083
for white kids to come up to me,
investigate my hair.
257
00:18:46,043 --> 00:18:51,048
But I mean, between you and me,
I think I'm in love.
258
00:18:51,924 --> 00:18:53,008
What? With who?
259
00:18:54,218 --> 00:18:55,511
I don't know her name.
260
00:18:56,386 --> 00:18:58,472
You don't know her name, but...
261
00:18:58,472 --> 00:19:01,600
- She the one though. Like... [chuckles]
- Okay. [chuckles]
262
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,685
- Okay.
- Yo, you a bona fide menace.
263
00:19:03,685 --> 00:19:05,729
I'ma see you at Jace's birthday party?
264
00:19:07,439 --> 00:19:11,151
Uh, nah, I have a game, so...
265
00:19:11,151 --> 00:19:12,653
- [Phil] Oh.
- ...can't make that one. Yeah.
266
00:19:13,237 --> 00:19:15,155
- All right, well, get buckets, son.
- Yeah.
267
00:19:15,155 --> 00:19:17,866
Thirty-piece. Yeah.
268
00:19:20,661 --> 00:19:23,914
- Hey, you okay?
- Yeah.
269
00:19:24,414 --> 00:19:26,458
- Okay.
- Yeah.
270
00:19:27,626 --> 00:19:31,922
[principal] The opening day of the new
science building is finally here.
271
00:19:32,673 --> 00:19:34,383
[applause]
272
00:19:36,051 --> 00:19:39,555
It's all because of the generous donation
from the Gibbons family.
273
00:19:40,138 --> 00:19:41,723
[applause]
274
00:19:44,726 --> 00:19:46,478
[principal] But we wouldn't be here today
275
00:19:46,478 --> 00:19:50,566
if it weren't for
one very special student, Amber Gibbons,
276
00:19:51,483 --> 00:19:54,152
who has just received
early acceptance into MIT
277
00:19:54,152 --> 00:19:57,573
and is the very inspiration
for the building before you.
278
00:19:57,573 --> 00:20:00,158
And let's give it up
for our fearless leader,
279
00:20:00,158 --> 00:20:03,871
chairwoman of the board,
Diane Harrison-Fitzpatrick.
280
00:20:05,372 --> 00:20:07,165
[cheering]
281
00:20:09,459 --> 00:20:11,461
You have to smile. Be nice.
282
00:20:11,962 --> 00:20:13,130
I'm nice.
283
00:20:13,130 --> 00:20:16,341
Diane secured
the generous $20 million donation
284
00:20:16,341 --> 00:20:19,761
from the Gibbons family
and matched it in grants.
285
00:20:21,346 --> 00:20:23,223
- Champagne? No?
- [guest] No, thanks.
286
00:20:23,223 --> 00:20:25,934
Hey. How about you? Champagne?
287
00:20:25,934 --> 00:20:27,019
All right.
288
00:20:27,019 --> 00:20:30,230
Yeah. [clears throat] Yeah, all right.
289
00:20:32,232 --> 00:20:34,776
- How you doing? Nice to meet you.
- Hello. Hope you're well.
290
00:20:35,527 --> 00:20:37,404
[guest] Let's-- Ah, so, anyway...
291
00:20:40,657 --> 00:20:41,700
Megan Bailey.
292
00:20:42,451 --> 00:20:43,785
Camden Ryder, Senior.
293
00:20:43,785 --> 00:20:45,370
You owe me 20 bucks.
294
00:20:45,370 --> 00:20:46,496
Excuse me?
295
00:20:46,496 --> 00:20:48,749
For the loss against
the Pistons eight years ago.
296
00:20:49,541 --> 00:20:52,711
Wow. [chuckles] Okay.
297
00:20:53,295 --> 00:20:56,507
Your son CJ,
he's a promising young player.
298
00:20:57,257 --> 00:20:59,259
Happy to have him in the family business.
299
00:21:00,511 --> 00:21:03,180
You're the first female coach
he's ever had.
300
00:21:03,180 --> 00:21:05,390
That's not the first time I've heard that.
301
00:21:05,390 --> 00:21:11,480
Just so you know, I don't want you
to go easy on my son. He can take it.
302
00:21:13,690 --> 00:21:17,152
Diane Harrison-Fitzpatrick,
who needs no introduction.
303
00:21:17,152 --> 00:21:19,988
- [chuckles] Pleasure--
- Well, it's lovely to meet you. Tonya.
304
00:21:19,988 --> 00:21:23,325
Pleasure to meet you.
And pleasure to meet you as well.
305
00:21:23,325 --> 00:21:25,661
I love what you've done with this place.
306
00:21:25,661 --> 00:21:30,499
[chuckles] As you know, Diane,
the basketball team
307
00:21:30,499 --> 00:21:32,751
had earth-shattering success
under Coach Nichols,
308
00:21:32,751 --> 00:21:35,712
but the athletic department is thrilled
309
00:21:35,712 --> 00:21:39,132
to have Ike here on board
as the interim coach.
310
00:21:40,968 --> 00:21:44,304
He's taking night classes
towards his college degree
311
00:21:44,304 --> 00:21:46,765
and displaying a real commitment
to the Cedar Cove way.
312
00:21:46,765 --> 00:21:48,183
[chuckles]
313
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,895
My-- My son Johnny is on your team,
314
00:21:51,895 --> 00:21:54,481
and he's over the moon
to have you as his coach,
315
00:21:54,481 --> 00:21:57,651
so I can't wait to see what you do
at the season opener.
316
00:21:57,651 --> 00:22:00,153
- Thank you. Thank you.
- [chuckles] Yes.
317
00:22:00,153 --> 00:22:01,530
Excuse me.
318
00:22:02,614 --> 00:22:05,075
...red wine.
I've been usually a Bordeaux kind of guy.
319
00:22:05,075 --> 00:22:06,159
Hmm.
320
00:22:06,785 --> 00:22:08,328
- Hi.
- Hey.
321
00:22:08,829 --> 00:22:10,706
[Alonzo groans]
322
00:22:11,957 --> 00:22:13,542
I hope there are no hard feelings
323
00:22:13,542 --> 00:22:15,961
that Swagger decided not
to renew with Gladiator.
324
00:22:15,961 --> 00:22:18,672
No. No. No hard feelings at all. Stop.
325
00:22:18,672 --> 00:22:22,634
So, what brings you to the opening
of a science building?
326
00:22:22,634 --> 00:22:23,886
Oh, you didn't hear?
327
00:22:23,886 --> 00:22:25,762
Gladiator Sneakers is actually in business
328
00:22:25,762 --> 00:22:28,891
with a few prep schools,
namely Cedar Cove.
329
00:22:28,891 --> 00:22:31,351
So, as soon as that ink is dry,
330
00:22:31,351 --> 00:22:33,437
you guys will have some fresh new gear
coming your way.
331
00:22:33,437 --> 00:22:35,314
- Alonzo Powers.
- My man.
332
00:22:35,314 --> 00:22:37,274
I have someone I want you to meet.
333
00:22:37,274 --> 00:22:38,859
- Okay. Absolutely.
- Come this way. Excuse us.
334
00:22:38,859 --> 00:22:39,943
- Definitely.
- No worries.
335
00:22:39,943 --> 00:22:42,696
Sorry, Meg,
you haven't gotten rid of me yet.
336
00:22:46,325 --> 00:22:47,326
[chuckles]
337
00:22:47,910 --> 00:22:49,328
[Tonya] Did he say interim?
338
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:52,247
Setting me up to fall on my face.
339
00:22:52,998 --> 00:22:54,917
You remember
when my ex-boyfriend came over
340
00:22:54,917 --> 00:22:56,793
to my parents' house for Sunday brunch,
341
00:22:56,793 --> 00:22:59,087
and you were there
to meet my entire family?
342
00:22:59,087 --> 00:23:02,549
I couldn't go out like a punk in front
of your grandma and Uncle Bobby.
343
00:23:03,467 --> 00:23:06,887
You won the charm offense,
and I sent homeboy packing.
344
00:23:08,639 --> 00:23:09,806
Be that.
345
00:23:09,806 --> 00:23:11,642
- Champagne? Of course.
- Thank you.
346
00:23:12,309 --> 00:23:14,019
Let's light 'em up. [sighs]
347
00:23:32,955 --> 00:23:34,915
- [guest 1] A toast to Ike and Tonya.
- [Ike] Thank you.
348
00:23:34,915 --> 00:23:37,376
- [clamoring]
- [guest 2] Yes!
349
00:23:37,376 --> 00:23:39,378
Don't get me wrong, I love working,
350
00:23:39,378 --> 00:23:42,381
but there's also that part
of me that feels guilty.
351
00:23:42,381 --> 00:23:45,926
No, no, no.
It's a job to be a stay-at-home mom.
352
00:23:45,926 --> 00:23:48,345
You just can't put it on your résumé.
353
00:23:48,345 --> 00:23:50,389
Well, it's the hardest job I've ever had.
354
00:23:50,389 --> 00:23:52,766
I feel blessed to have been able
to have been there
355
00:23:52,766 --> 00:23:55,561
every step of the first few years
of my baby's life.
356
00:23:55,561 --> 00:23:59,314
I mean, it's complicated,
and we do it anyway.
357
00:23:59,314 --> 00:24:01,358
- [chuckles]
- So, moms and-- Hello.
358
00:24:58,373 --> 00:25:01,960
Fellow white people,
this one's an oldie but a goody,
359
00:25:02,586 --> 00:25:06,256
please stop touching Black people's hair.
360
00:25:06,256 --> 00:25:08,509
- [Musa laughs] You're crazy, Drew.
- [laughs]
361
00:25:08,509 --> 00:25:10,928
- [Phil] Drew, you really crazy, dawg.
- Swagger Prep!
362
00:25:10,928 --> 00:25:12,763
- [knocking]
- [Ike] Yeah?
363
00:25:12,763 --> 00:25:15,682
- Yo.
- Yo. Great practice today.
364
00:25:16,225 --> 00:25:18,477
- You wanted to see me?
- Yeah, uh, close the door.
365
00:25:21,647 --> 00:25:26,652
All right, so, Ohio State and Providence
hit me about you this morning...
366
00:25:26,652 --> 00:25:28,487
- Hmm.
- ...and I just got off the phone
367
00:25:28,487 --> 00:25:30,531
- with the University of Memphis.
- [whistles]
368
00:25:30,531 --> 00:25:33,283
All right, so there's a lot
of heat on you right now,
369
00:25:33,283 --> 00:25:35,619
and I just wanna know
where your head is at with it.
370
00:25:39,248 --> 00:25:40,749
- I'm excited...
- Mm-hmm.
371
00:25:40,749 --> 00:25:43,252
...but don't wanna to make any wrong moves.
372
00:25:43,252 --> 00:25:45,462
A coach could say he's dying to coach me,
373
00:25:46,004 --> 00:25:47,464
then have me riding the bench.
374
00:25:48,340 --> 00:25:51,593
You know what my strategy was
when I was getting recruited?
375
00:25:51,593 --> 00:25:52,845
What?
376
00:25:52,845 --> 00:25:55,055
Avoid a decision at all costs. [laughs]
377
00:25:55,055 --> 00:25:59,560
[laughs] Mine is be cool all day,
stress the hell out all night.
378
00:26:01,144 --> 00:26:02,354
Not getting much sleep?
379
00:26:03,981 --> 00:26:07,568
Nah. I kind of feel like something big
is about to happen.
380
00:26:11,321 --> 00:26:16,493
Well, uh, look, um,
it's not just coaches I'm hearing from.
381
00:26:17,744 --> 00:26:19,121
What do you mean?
382
00:26:20,497 --> 00:26:22,040
I heard from your pops.
383
00:26:23,292 --> 00:26:25,544
He's in town, and he wanna meet up
with you. I thou--
384
00:26:25,544 --> 00:26:26,628
Why is he calling you?
385
00:26:28,881 --> 00:26:32,009
He-- He said you wasn't replying
to his messages
386
00:26:32,009 --> 00:26:33,677
and that he couldn't find a way
to reach your mom.
387
00:26:33,677 --> 00:26:36,138
There's a reason nobody wants
to talk to him.
388
00:26:37,598 --> 00:26:39,975
Jackie won't talk to him.
389
00:26:40,642 --> 00:26:43,145
My mom probably been blocked his number.
390
00:26:43,145 --> 00:26:45,397
Okay. So how do you want to handle it?
391
00:26:45,981 --> 00:26:48,400
Because he's been calling me
every month asking about your life.
392
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,070
[scoffs, chuckles] Hold on.
393
00:26:52,070 --> 00:26:54,406
Listen. I know why you're upset,
394
00:26:54,406 --> 00:26:56,700
but if I could do it all over again
with my pops--
395
00:26:56,700 --> 00:26:58,285
I gotta go.
396
00:27:18,347 --> 00:27:20,516
- [phone ringing]
- [panting]
397
00:27:24,978 --> 00:27:25,979
[pants]
398
00:27:26,772 --> 00:27:28,232
[sighs, sniffles]
399
00:27:29,149 --> 00:27:32,861
Birthday boy... [sighs] ...it's been a while.
Good to hear from you.
400
00:27:36,698 --> 00:27:38,992
Yeah, um...
401
00:27:43,038 --> 00:27:44,581
Is something wrong?
402
00:27:48,794 --> 00:27:53,298
Coach told me that my father
really wanna see me.
403
00:27:53,298 --> 00:27:55,676
I don't really know how to feel
about that.
404
00:27:56,176 --> 00:27:57,928
I mean, with all that's going on.
405
00:27:59,513 --> 00:28:04,726
Recruiting pressure,
my school is hard as hell.
406
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:13,318
[sighs] I know I should be grateful...
407
00:28:15,779 --> 00:28:18,532
but all I wanna do is get back
to the court
408
00:28:18,532 --> 00:28:21,451
where everything disappears
for just a second.
409
00:28:21,451 --> 00:28:23,203
[phone static, breaks up]
410
00:28:24,830 --> 00:28:27,291
[sighs] Honestly, Crys...
411
00:28:34,131 --> 00:28:36,592
I'm-- I'm hoping you can come to my game
412
00:28:37,342 --> 00:28:42,306
'cause I don't really know how I'm gonna
do 18 without you.
413
00:28:43,098 --> 00:28:44,558
[phone line beeps]
414
00:28:45,976 --> 00:28:48,478
Hello?
415
00:28:56,570 --> 00:28:58,238
[thunder rumbling]
416
00:29:01,658 --> 00:29:02,659
[alarm beeps]
417
00:29:12,586 --> 00:29:14,296
[car engine starts]
418
00:29:17,090 --> 00:29:18,425
[Tonya] Hey, college boy.
419
00:29:20,302 --> 00:29:23,514
What does being in a geometry class at 33
420
00:29:23,514 --> 00:29:26,183
have to do with me
being a good basketball coach?
421
00:29:26,183 --> 00:29:27,476
[video game chiming]
422
00:29:27,476 --> 00:29:30,604
Isn't basketball a game of angles?
423
00:29:30,604 --> 00:29:33,232
I don't wanna admit that's true
in this conversation.
424
00:29:33,232 --> 00:29:35,859
- [laughs]
- [chuckles]
425
00:29:35,859 --> 00:29:38,362
I had a job interview today at Cedar Cove.
426
00:29:38,362 --> 00:29:40,531
What? Why didn't you tell me?
427
00:29:40,531 --> 00:29:42,407
I just thought it was
some coach's wife coffee tour
428
00:29:42,407 --> 00:29:45,160
with the head of the school,
but turns out there's an opening
429
00:29:45,994 --> 00:29:48,830
in the Department
for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
430
00:29:48,830 --> 00:29:51,208
- And they want you?
- They made an offer.
431
00:29:52,084 --> 00:29:55,295
Told 'em I'd think about it. [sighs]
What do you think?
432
00:29:55,295 --> 00:29:58,423
I think Cedar Cove would be lucky
to have you,
433
00:29:58,423 --> 00:30:00,676
as long as you're cool with,
you know, running into me.
434
00:30:00,676 --> 00:30:02,970
I'm kind of the big man
on campus now, but--
435
00:30:02,970 --> 00:30:04,930
Right, right. [chuckles] Well--
436
00:30:04,930 --> 00:30:06,014
I'm proud of you.
437
00:30:06,890 --> 00:30:08,100
Thanks, babe.
438
00:30:08,100 --> 00:30:10,143
- I mean, I haven't said yes yet.
- Mmm.
439
00:30:10,143 --> 00:30:12,646
You know I'm not trying to be the person
of color in the display window.
440
00:30:12,646 --> 00:30:15,524
- I'm sure you made that very clear.
- You know I did.
441
00:30:15,524 --> 00:30:16,608
[laughs]
442
00:30:17,442 --> 00:30:19,236
- Wha-- What's this?
- [giggles]
443
00:30:19,236 --> 00:30:21,238
I have to paint your fingernails.
444
00:30:23,282 --> 00:30:26,702
- I don't remember--
- You promised.
445
00:30:27,661 --> 00:30:30,372
[line ringing]
446
00:30:32,207 --> 00:30:33,667
[Ike] Yo, you okay?
447
00:30:34,543 --> 00:30:36,503
Yeah, you busy?
448
00:30:36,503 --> 00:30:40,632
Uh, Kathryn is painting my fingernails.
449
00:30:40,632 --> 00:30:42,009
Don't-- Don't ask.
450
00:30:44,887 --> 00:30:48,265
I don't need to. You a good dad.
451
00:30:53,103 --> 00:30:54,229
Thanks, man.
452
00:30:55,522 --> 00:31:00,777
Hey, I'm, uh-- I'm sorry I didn't let on,
uh, about your pops.
453
00:31:00,777 --> 00:31:02,487
I wanna meet up with him.
454
00:31:05,324 --> 00:31:06,533
Can you hook it up?
455
00:31:07,743 --> 00:31:10,078
Y-Yeah. Yeah, I got you.
456
00:31:10,078 --> 00:31:11,496
Thanks, Coach.
457
00:31:12,206 --> 00:31:14,583
All right. All right. Bye, man.
458
00:31:21,965 --> 00:31:23,133
[sighs]
459
00:31:28,222 --> 00:31:32,559
That is beautiful.
Look at that. Just amazing.
460
00:31:33,268 --> 00:31:36,355
Thank you so mu-- All right, you know.
461
00:31:37,356 --> 00:31:39,483
I think it looks great. What do you think?
462
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,694
It needs a little stripe.
463
00:31:43,403 --> 00:31:47,324
Okay, a little stripe.
That should match the uniform perfectly.
464
00:31:47,324 --> 00:31:48,825
[chuckles] Thank you.
465
00:31:48,825 --> 00:31:51,411
Yo, look what the cat dragged in.
466
00:31:51,411 --> 00:31:54,206
You know I wouldn't miss
seeing my bighead brother turn 18.
467
00:31:54,206 --> 00:31:57,960
Plus, we all know that you prefer
when I make the birthday pancakes.
468
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,420
- [chuckles] Mmm.
- Hey, Jack.
469
00:32:00,420 --> 00:32:01,922
Mmm. Hey, old man.
470
00:32:03,006 --> 00:32:04,258
What's up?
471
00:32:05,217 --> 00:32:06,385
What's wrong?
472
00:32:07,344 --> 00:32:09,012
[exhales deeply]
473
00:32:09,721 --> 00:32:13,433
Coach told me our father's
been reaching out to him.
474
00:32:16,645 --> 00:32:18,480
He wants to meet me in person.
475
00:32:19,565 --> 00:32:20,732
When?
476
00:32:21,567 --> 00:32:24,027
[Jace sighing]
477
00:32:27,531 --> 00:32:28,532
Tonight.
478
00:32:33,328 --> 00:32:35,539
The night before your 18th birthday?
[sighs]
479
00:32:36,832 --> 00:32:37,875
Yeah.
480
00:32:41,753 --> 00:32:44,798
The season's about to start,
and you don't need any distractions.
481
00:32:44,798 --> 00:32:50,846
It's always a distraction...
whether I see him or not.
482
00:32:55,726 --> 00:32:57,186
I'm about to be a man.
483
00:32:58,312 --> 00:33:00,522
And you wanna handle this like a man.
484
00:33:03,150 --> 00:33:04,151
Yes.
485
00:33:06,612 --> 00:33:10,032
If that's what you need, I get it.
486
00:33:17,122 --> 00:33:18,832
When did you get in town?
487
00:33:20,417 --> 00:33:22,669
I wanted to say happy birthday in person.
488
00:33:25,255 --> 00:33:30,594
I didn't know what to get you,
so I got you this.
489
00:33:31,345 --> 00:33:33,055
Nah, man.
490
00:33:33,055 --> 00:33:35,390
$1800. Hundred every year.
491
00:33:37,100 --> 00:33:40,687
- It's not a lot.
- [sniffs]
492
00:33:41,313 --> 00:33:43,482
But figured if I give you this,
493
00:33:43,482 --> 00:33:47,986
at least you could get something
that you want for yourself.
494
00:33:53,116 --> 00:33:57,079
If it's all right with you,
I'ma give this to my mom.
495
00:34:03,710 --> 00:34:04,920
[chuckles]
496
00:34:08,715 --> 00:34:13,344
I just, uh-- I needed to see you, man.
497
00:34:21,603 --> 00:34:23,230
I needed to see you too.
498
00:34:25,815 --> 00:34:27,818
I'm sure you got stuff
to get off your chest.
499
00:34:28,860 --> 00:34:30,112
I'm ready.
500
00:34:34,699 --> 00:34:36,034
I'm okay.
501
00:34:37,578 --> 00:34:40,371
- Hmm.
- I'm gonna be okay.
502
00:34:43,792 --> 00:34:47,670
I wanted to tell you that man-to-man.
503
00:34:55,304 --> 00:34:58,974
You know, for a while,
I thought I was sick or something.
504
00:34:58,974 --> 00:35:00,934
I thought there was something wrong
with me.
505
00:35:01,852 --> 00:35:06,857
- Dead-ass. I didn't think you left Mom.
- [sighs]
506
00:35:07,524 --> 00:35:11,236
I-It didn't even feel like you,
you know, left my sister.
507
00:35:11,236 --> 00:35:13,030
It felt like you left me.
508
00:35:16,033 --> 00:35:18,202
- I thought something was wrong with me.
- [sighs]
509
00:35:21,747 --> 00:35:23,207
Mmm. Mm-mmm. Mm-mmm.
510
00:35:23,207 --> 00:35:24,917
[sniffles]
511
00:35:25,792 --> 00:35:27,419
But I need you to know...
512
00:35:31,089 --> 00:35:32,591
I'm okay.
513
00:35:49,066 --> 00:35:53,320
All right, so as president,
I would just like to say,
514
00:35:54,446 --> 00:35:57,199
happy birthday, Jace Carson. [chuckles]
515
00:35:57,199 --> 00:35:58,784
[applause]
516
00:35:59,576 --> 00:36:01,370
Thank you, thank you, thank you, y'all.
517
00:36:01,370 --> 00:36:04,456
Thank you.
Let's continue the meeting, please.
518
00:36:04,456 --> 00:36:10,629
All right, in my English class, you guys,
we are on our third white author in a row.
519
00:36:11,296 --> 00:36:14,842
Now, I really do doubt our teacher
means any harm
520
00:36:14,842 --> 00:36:18,804
because he's just so excited
about us reading a story
521
00:36:18,804 --> 00:36:20,639
featuring the migrants movement.
522
00:36:21,473 --> 00:36:24,852
However, we are learning
that 400,000 settlers
523
00:36:24,852 --> 00:36:26,854
- moved to the West, right?
- Right. Mm-hmm.
524
00:36:27,646 --> 00:36:28,897
What about the Harlem Renaissance
525
00:36:28,897 --> 00:36:32,609
where six million Black people moved
from the South to the North?
526
00:36:32,609 --> 00:36:36,488
And this just goes to show that,
once again, it's like our authors,
527
00:36:36,488 --> 00:36:38,866
our voices and our stories are silenced.
528
00:36:38,866 --> 00:36:39,992
[students murmuring] Right.
529
00:36:39,992 --> 00:36:45,080
So, we are gonna be establishing
a committee to challenge the curriculum,
530
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,791
and we are looking for some volunteers.
531
00:36:47,791 --> 00:36:50,544
- [student 1] That's cool.
- [student 2] For sure. Okay.
532
00:36:55,132 --> 00:36:58,218
I'm Phil Marksby. I'm new here,
533
00:36:59,219 --> 00:37:03,182
but I, for one, am down for the cause.
534
00:37:03,724 --> 00:37:05,809
[students murmuring] Yeah.
535
00:37:05,809 --> 00:37:07,102
Okay, thank you.
536
00:37:11,481 --> 00:37:12,608
Man, what you doin'?
537
00:37:17,404 --> 00:37:19,198
[chattering]
538
00:37:20,991 --> 00:37:25,162
Hey, Rae.
I could kick it with you for a minute?
539
00:37:29,625 --> 00:37:32,336
[chuckles] I'm pretty busy right now,
540
00:37:32,336 --> 00:37:34,338
but I'm sure that one of your teammates
541
00:37:34,338 --> 00:37:36,089
that are just looking
to get club membership
542
00:37:36,089 --> 00:37:38,133
on their college transcript
could help you out.
543
00:37:39,676 --> 00:37:44,848
[scoffs] Wow, so you--
you got me all figured out then, huh?
544
00:37:45,390 --> 00:37:47,100
[clicks tongue] Don't I?
545
00:37:51,021 --> 00:37:52,022
[scoffs]
546
00:37:53,190 --> 00:37:58,111
{\an8}[announcer] And now,
your Cedar Cove Mustangs!
547
00:39:01,466 --> 00:39:03,552
- [Jenna] Hey. Thank you.
- Hey, Ms. Carson.
548
00:39:09,057 --> 00:39:11,894
[cheering]
549
00:39:30,871 --> 00:39:32,539
- Hey, Jackie.
- [Jackie] Crazy.
550
00:39:35,125 --> 00:39:36,210
I'm not doing this.
551
00:39:39,129 --> 00:39:41,298
Jackie. Baby girl.
552
00:39:41,298 --> 00:39:42,591
[Jackie] I'll be back.
553
00:39:44,301 --> 00:39:47,471
So as long as you're here,
it's a little late for this.
554
00:39:47,471 --> 00:39:49,848
I know that cash is just a little drop
in the bucket, Jenna.
555
00:39:49,848 --> 00:39:52,559
But I can't take it back.
556
00:39:59,233 --> 00:40:00,275
[Jenna] Let's go, boys!
557
00:40:01,026 --> 00:40:02,277
You must be Alonzo Powers.
558
00:40:02,277 --> 00:40:04,780
Dr. Lawson.
Man, I can't wait to work with you.
559
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:09,368
We should definitely talk.
The deal hit a bit of a snag.
560
00:40:10,077 --> 00:40:11,078
How so?
561
00:40:11,828 --> 00:40:14,122
Gladiator offered a one-year commitment.
562
00:40:14,623 --> 00:40:18,210
We-- [stammers]
I am looking for something longer.
563
00:40:18,710 --> 00:40:20,087
I-- I see.
564
00:40:21,255 --> 00:40:24,925
Well, you guys have Jace Carson,
Nick Mendez
565
00:40:24,925 --> 00:40:28,053
and Phil Marksby as your starters,
but they're seniors.
566
00:40:28,053 --> 00:40:31,014
So convince me that you'll be
as dominant next year,
567
00:40:31,014 --> 00:40:33,141
and then we'll have something to discuss.
568
00:40:34,017 --> 00:40:39,523
Uh, my advice to you though,
don't get in our-- my way.
569
00:40:41,650 --> 00:40:43,026
[crowd cheering]
570
00:40:43,026 --> 00:40:44,111
[Jace grunts]
571
00:40:51,827 --> 00:40:53,829
- [Drew] Ball, ball, ball!
- [Jace grunting]
572
00:40:56,790 --> 00:40:57,708
Come on, Jace!
573
00:40:58,876 --> 00:41:00,627
[cheerleaders] Defense!
574
00:41:00,627 --> 00:41:02,212
[Olympia Prep player 4] Move left!
575
00:41:04,006 --> 00:41:05,507
[speaks indistinctly]
576
00:41:06,216 --> 00:41:07,217
We gotta find out.
577
00:41:07,217 --> 00:41:09,261
[players grunting]
578
00:41:14,266 --> 00:41:16,768
- Oh, yes!
- [cheering]
579
00:41:26,486 --> 00:41:27,613
Happy birthday.
580
00:41:31,074 --> 00:41:31,909
[whistle blows]
581
00:41:33,202 --> 00:41:36,705
I, um... [sighs] ...heard glowing reviews
about your interview.
582
00:41:37,372 --> 00:41:41,543
Not to overstep,
but do you have any indication
583
00:41:41,543 --> 00:41:43,212
of which way you may be leaning?
584
00:41:45,964 --> 00:41:47,966
I haven't notified the head
of the school yet,
585
00:41:47,966 --> 00:41:51,470
but I've decided to take the job.
586
00:41:52,095 --> 00:41:56,183
- [chuckles] Congratulations.
- Thank you so much for everything.
587
00:41:56,183 --> 00:41:57,351
Of course.
588
00:41:58,060 --> 00:42:00,020
[spectator 1] There it is.
High-- That's high.
589
00:42:00,687 --> 00:42:02,523
- [cheering]
- [whistle blows]
590
00:42:05,067 --> 00:42:08,695
Hey, where's your head at?
Yo, where you at right now?
591
00:42:08,695 --> 00:42:10,113
Here, right here.
592
00:42:11,073 --> 00:42:13,492
Look at this pink fingernail.
You see this pink fingernail?
593
00:42:14,076 --> 00:42:15,077
What?
594
00:42:15,077 --> 00:42:17,955
I thought about scrubbing it off,
but then I thought,
595
00:42:18,747 --> 00:42:22,042
"This is where I am right now.
This is my new chapter."
596
00:42:22,042 --> 00:42:25,254
- Okay, Coach. I got it.
- Okay, then don't forget to play.
597
00:42:25,254 --> 00:42:27,673
- I am playing.
- Nah, man. Play.
598
00:42:28,173 --> 00:42:30,259
- [growls]
- Um...
599
00:42:30,843 --> 00:42:36,181
- [growls] Everybody! [yells]
- [yelling]
600
00:42:40,227 --> 00:42:42,187
- [yells]
- Let's go!
601
00:42:43,438 --> 00:42:45,190
[Musa] Let's go, let's go.
602
00:42:45,190 --> 00:42:47,025
- Cedar Cove on three.
- No, no, no!
603
00:42:47,526 --> 00:42:52,573
Forget Cedar Cove! Swagger Prep on three.
One, two, three!
604
00:42:52,573 --> 00:42:53,824
[all] Swagger Prep!
605
00:42:53,824 --> 00:42:55,117
[Ike] Let's go.
606
00:42:56,660 --> 00:42:59,830
- Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
- Right.
607
00:43:02,624 --> 00:43:04,501
[player] Whoo! Bring that baby.
608
00:43:04,501 --> 00:43:05,586
[chuckling] Yeah.
609
00:43:08,422 --> 00:43:09,965
[spectator] Yeah, let's go!
610
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,470
[Ike] Here's what I would say.
611
00:43:15,470 --> 00:43:19,933
Know who you love, know what you believe
and know what you stand for.
612
00:43:20,642 --> 00:43:21,977
'Cause the truth of it is,
613
00:43:22,561 --> 00:43:25,606
playing ball has very little
to do with being a man,
614
00:43:26,148 --> 00:43:30,235
but being a man has everything
to do with how you play ball.
615
00:43:30,235 --> 00:43:32,321
["Free Mind" playing]
616
00:43:33,864 --> 00:43:36,658
- [crowd cheering]
- Let's go!
617
00:43:39,828 --> 00:43:41,496
Let's go!
618
00:43:44,791 --> 00:43:46,960
[song continues]
619
00:43:52,799 --> 00:43:53,842
There he is!
620
00:43:53,842 --> 00:43:56,345
- Let's go!
- Let's go, Jace!
621
00:43:56,345 --> 00:43:58,514
[Crystal] Birthday boy!
622
00:44:00,265 --> 00:44:01,558
What you doing here?
623
00:44:03,018 --> 00:44:04,019
Yeah.
624
00:44:07,564 --> 00:44:09,066
[crowd cheering]
625
00:44:28,043 --> 00:44:29,169
[grunts]
626
00:44:29,169 --> 00:44:34,716
- [crowd] My Bad! My Bad! My Bad!
- My Bad!
627
00:44:35,592 --> 00:44:38,095
My Bad!
628
00:44:42,474 --> 00:44:44,059
My Bad! That's how you do it!
629
00:44:46,144 --> 00:44:47,980
[grunting]
630
00:45:00,784 --> 00:45:02,411
[player] Wait, hold up. Hold up.
631
00:45:08,542 --> 00:45:11,128
Yes! Way to hit, Johnny.
632
00:45:12,129 --> 00:45:16,133
Yeah! Yeah! Let's go!
633
00:45:18,093 --> 00:45:19,094
Go!
634
00:45:24,850 --> 00:45:25,893
[chuckles]
635
00:45:30,647 --> 00:45:31,773
[Jenna] Ooh.
636
00:45:34,234 --> 00:45:35,485
Three!
637
00:45:39,907 --> 00:45:42,159
- [cheering]
- [buzzer sounds]
638
00:45:42,159 --> 00:45:46,121
Yeah! Yeah!
639

[crowd] Jace Carson! Jace Carson!
640
00:46:07,643 --> 00:46:09,353
Jace Carson!

Swagger Prep! Swagger Prep! Swagger Prep!
642
00:46:14,233 --> 00:46:24,535
Swagger Prep! Swagger Prep! Swagger Prep!
643
00:46:24,535 --> 00:46:29,081
Crystal Jarrett, sorry to bother you.
I'm Krista Cooke with the Marylander.
644
00:46:29,081 --> 00:46:30,666
I know who you are.
645
00:46:30,666 --> 00:46:34,127
Last season you wrote
I'm "so good, it's scary." [chuckles]
646
00:46:34,127 --> 00:46:35,504
And I meant it.
647
00:46:39,383 --> 00:46:40,717
I'm told you might have knowledge
648
00:46:40,717 --> 00:46:42,719
about who attacked Joe Warrick
four years ago.
649
00:46:46,682 --> 00:46:49,268
[teammates]
Swagger Prep! Swagger Prep! Swagger Prep!
650
00:46:53,730 --> 00:46:57,109
Swagger Prep! Swagger Prep!
651
00:46:57,109 --> 00:46:59,695
Hey! I see you, Coach!
652
00:46:59,695 --> 00:47:03,073
[grunting] Whole world see you, kid.
