Munchy!
Hey, Nana.
You okay?
Your mama's downstairs waiting on you.
Yeah, I'm okay.
[ Sighs ]
[ Speaks indistinctly ]
Shit.
Mama, why you got him carrying this big old box?
I tried to help. He wouldn't let me.
He's as stubborn as his mother.
Yeah, I done heard that before.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Sighs ]
All right, it's time to hit the road, kid.
And, Mama, we will only be stopping for gas
and bathroom breaks.
Alright, I still got to sign the lease and get the keys.
Of course. I-I understand.
Mama, if there is something you want to say,
please just say it.
You know I can't stand these awkward moments.
I don't like this. This is not the time to be adventurous.
And I don't understand why you have to up and relocate
to a city 600 miles away where you have no support system
in order to get your "life back on track."
A.J. needs to be here, and you know that.
So forgive me if I'm not overly thrilled that my only child
and my grandson are leaving me.
Mama, we are not leaving you.
And I completely disagree. A.J.'s going to be just fine.
We've already talked about this.
There hasn't been any new confirmed cases
in nearly six months.
This is not healthy.
There are plenty of opportunities
for kids in Atlanta, and this is a huge opportunity for me.
It's not just that, and you know that.
Look, the first time they offered me
that recruiter position, I turned it down,
and you know that.
Now it's come around a second time, and I can't pass that up.
If I don't take this leap now, I will always wonder.
You're right. You are absolutely right.
You can't pass it up.
And I admit I'm being a little selfish,
but the two of you are all I've got.
Look, always remember.
If things don't work out...
And I'm not putting it out there,
but you can always come back home.
Don't go chasing after anyone or anything.
And, Munchy, I'm gonna miss you most of all, something awful.
I'll miss you, too, Nana.
Well, time for you all to get going.
It's starting to rain, and I need to get back inside.
Right, Mama.
Come here, babe.
One more thing, baby.
When things get challenging, and I assure you they will,
don't lean on man, baby.
You lean on God, you hear?
All right. Close the door, babe.
We'll call you when we're on the road, okay?
Okay.
[ Sighs ]
[ Engine starts ]
This is a terrible idea.
I know. I just put it on.
You should have had it on the whole way.
You know that, right?
I forgot.

What's wrong, chick? Why you acting funny?
Well, I thought you were supposed to come over

I mean, I was.
But what had happened was
I was -- Tyronne, you know?
-Right. -Yeah.
Go talk to your nephew.
That's quite fine with me.
I don't want to talk to you no way.
I didn't approve this move.
Hey, nephew, how you doing, young king?
What up, Aunt Jo? What's up?
You know, I'm just grinding, doing what I do.
Can your mama hear me? I need to ask her something.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Yeah, I can hear you.
So you really think this is a wise move,

Don't even answer that.
Sam, I just want to say that I'm...
I'm proud of you.
I really didn't think y'all was going to really make this move.

I'm Samantha. Samantha Jones.
I'm here to pick up the keys to my apartment.
I'm so sorry I'm late. We just drove in from Maryland.
WOMAN: Okay, I'm sorry, honey, but we're closed.
But I guess I can look up your information.
[ Sighs ]
So there's been a change of plans.
Someone at my job got our arrival date mixed up,
so we won't be staying here.
But not to worry.
I Googled it, and there are plenty of hotels in the area.
We'll just -- we'll stay there until we get this all
figured out, okay?
Guess I'm gonna just take a nap since it seems like this is
where we're going to be sleeping anyway.
-[ Sighs ] -WOMAN: Morning, everyone.
Breaking news out of [speaks indistinctly]
this morning, where police are on scene of a mass shooting.
Two people were killed, 14 others injured.
They going all the way to Georgia.
MAN: Neil, I'm not sure if this city has seen anything
-quite like this. -See, that's where they going.
-Two of them fatally. -Why does she need
-to get her life in order. -They were pronounced dead
here at the scene.
Speaking of the scene, I want you to take a look at it
right over my shoulder.
It is expansive, covering several streets.
We're on North Bidman right now on the northern side
of the crime scene. -Lord, I'm just asking you.
And we're going to show you some video from earlier this morning,
as Maureen mentioned. -Save her.
[ Clears throat ]
Well, guess it's safe to say I'm not getting my own bed.
Baby, you will have your own bed when we get our place.
This is temporary.
You know what? I'm going to go get my N95 mask.
Come on.
We won't be here long.
I can promise you that.
[ Sighs ]
Look, we got a long day ahead of us.
Let's just try to get some rest, okay?
15 years old, get to sleep in his bed with his mommy.
[ Chuckles ]
Hey.
Don't look at me like that.
[ Laughs ]
I know things are hard.
Okay?
I know it's been a tough couple of years,
but I want to let you know I appreciate you having my back.
You know, through the good, the bad, the thick and the thin,
you are the only one who has remained consistent.
The only one that always makes me smile
and work harder than I ever thought possible.
I love you.
And I know that this is
a rancid place to stay,
and it's far from what you're used to,
but, honey, I promise things will get better.
Okay?
Yeah.
[ Sighs ]
Well...
let's try to get some sleep.
Just -- Let's just sleep on -- on the covers.
We don't need -- we don't need to go underneath.
Yeah.
I'm scared.
What are we doing?
The answers are not always laid out.
Sometimes what you fear is exactly what you need
to be running toward.
Feels more like we're running away.
We have to face this.
The world is serious. It's not just gonna go away.
And A.J...
he's so angry.
He hates being away from you.
Sammy, baby, listen to me.
I'm gonna take of that boy. I promise.
Don't worry about A.J.
A.J.'s strong.
We raised him up good.
He's going to adjust just fine.
What I need you to do is focus.
Focus on this opportunity.
You got this.
No, no, no, wait.
Please.
Just -- just stay.
Munchy would be so happy to see you in the morning.
[ Sighs ]
Okay, so the most important room on this floor is the bathroom.
I frequent it often.
It has a full-length mirror, so it's great for selfies.
-Got it. -Uh, compensation and benefits
is two doors down on the right.
Across from compensation and benefits is risk management.
This is the game room. It's mostly just boy stuff.
So most of the staff is at home working virtually right now.
But I learned this orientation pitch,
so I am going to give it.
Um, labor relations is next to
employee selection and recruitment,
which is where you're going to be.
So, any questions so far?
Uh, no.
Just trying to remember everything.
[ Laughs ] You'll get it. It's only your first day, Sam.
And believe me, we are just so happy to have you, really.
It has been a hard year.
There have been so many people that have been laid off
and pay cuts and all of that.
So having some fresh energy in here is just what need.
And maybe we'll get back to normal soon.
Thank you. You're really sweet. I appreciate it.
Yeah, no worries.
Um, I am required to send you to lunch.
So here is your meal voucher.
-Okay -And if you want,
I can totally meet you downstairs in 15 minutes
and do lunch together.
Yes, please. I would love that.
-Great. -[ Chuckles ]
-Okay, there you go. -Thank you!
Oh, uh, take the elevator down to the right, to the left.
You'll find it.
-Okay. -Right.
[ Elevator dings ]
Which room are you looking for?
Um, 238.
World history. Mrs. Schwartz.
Yeah, okay, down this way.
I'm heading over in that direction.
I just have to stop at my locker first.
Okay, that's fine, yeah.
Okay.
So your parents decided to throw you at school, too, huh?
What you talkin' about?
The government,
the re-assimilation school program.
Like, how does it feel to be a lab rat?
We're literally all test run dummies to see
if they can safely open schools back up again.
Like, personally, I liked staying home.
But my mom says it's not natural or healthy.
Human beings are supposed to interact.
I don't know.
I don't really care about going back to school, honestly.
But I mean, how is this school?
It's all right, typical I guess.
I transferred here last semester from L.A.
-L.A.?! -Mm-hmm.
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Okay, I wouldn't say all that.
You're the one with the custom kicks.
[ Both laugh ]
So where are you from?
I'm from B-more.
So, how's it going so far?
-Well -- -How do you feel about
the big move?
-It's going really good. -Mm?
Yeah, I mean, of course it's new,
but I think the universe has been pushing us
towards this for a while now.
Mm! Alignment. Yes, I love it.
Well, if you need anything, just ask, okay?
Girl, thank you. You're so sweet.
[ Chuckles ]
I'm not just blowing smoke up your ass.
I'm serious.
I have totally been where you are.
So I understand. Just let me know.
-Well... -Yeah?
Since you mentioned it, girl, there has been this huge mix up
with the apartment that the company set up for us,
and we have been scrambling ever since.
-What? -Yes, it's crazy.
I mean, of course I have a list, but do you --
do you happen to know of anywhere in the area
worth checking out?
Yes. Yes, I do actually.
Okay, it just has to be close,
Not too far from my son's school.
And most importantly, please just let it be safe.
I know the perfect spot.
Okay, because we have been staying at this
extended stay for an extended amount of time.
And, honey, we are driving each other crazy.
[ Laughs ] Yes, I bet you and your husband
are just dying for a good night's sleep, not PG, right?
[ Chuckles ]
Hey.
You okay?
Yeah, yeah.
Um, I'm fine.
About that -- that, uh, that apartment.
You say that you know the perfect place.
Right? Uh, yes.
Freeman Like apartments, and it's on Terror Lake Drive.
It's about a 15 minute walk from here.
Affordable, really quiet neighborhood, super pretty.
Wait, did you just say Terror Lake Drive?
Yes, but it's spelled T-E-R-O-R.
-I know it's weird. -It's weird.
[ Laughs ] It's weird, but it's the perfect spot.
And I stayed there, and I mean, we only left because
our lease was going and we're trying to
start a family, so we bought our own place.
But I'll just send you the information,
and you can look into it yourself, you know?
Okay.
Hey.
You're here, right?
I'm sure you made a ton of sacrifices.
But you took a leap.
Sky's the limit.
You know what? You're right.
-I can only go up from here. -Mm-hmm.
-Say it again. -You can only go up from here.

Yes, of course. Please have a seat.

No, thank you.
