If you do cut ties with Erika's firm,
you're gonna need a big client to fill that gap, you know?
Exactly.
This big development, I checked it out.
And like you said, it's got the potential
to bring in some serious money.
This project is gonna get a lot messier
than a vandalised bulldozer.
I saw you kiss Jazz at Dad's party.
You know this has to stay between us.
Then tell your fiancé the truth.
You left us!
I was in the middle of a fucking war, Pen!
Yeah, I know. I was right there with you, remember?
And Roman said he was gonna take care of you.
Well, he couldn't really do that from his prison cell,
could he?
All of a sudden, I just feel, you know, like
if I don't get out of there, I'm gonna lose control.
You can't take on anybody else's problems, Carlton,
your parents' or Amira's.
I want to know everything.
Your father was a half-assed dreamer.
He created mess, and I cleaned it up.
Lou's not trustworthy. Listen to me.
He's a con man who was convicted of robbing an old man
he said owed him money.
Look, I don't know your situation.
But the fact that your old man is still out there
means it ain't never too late.
No one's family is perfect, I guess.
You either try to make it better,
or you live with it the way it is.

Yo, I appreciate you pouring a little out with me.
Hmm, for Charlie's, how could I say no?
♪ ♪
I remember the stories your Uncle Charlie used to tell us,
how the Black Panthers used to meet in the back room.
And after the riots, the neighbourhood would gather
right here to talk recovery.
Yeah, and I can't survive a couple of Starbucks
and a Whole Foods opening. - [chuckles]
But you always stay hustling.
In high school, you were selling those little
thumb drives with bootleg music.
[laughs]
I can't believe you remember that shit.
I think you still got a little hustle left, Jazz.
You keeping this place open
means something more to this community
than you realise.
If you sell, what hope do the rest have?

When you came into this world,
all I wanted was to protect you from harm and disappointment
so you could fly.
You have.
But when I saw you with Lou today,
I was reminded how much he--
in his own way--
he just wanted to do the same.
So you think sitting down was a good thing?
[sighs]
I mean, it was hard.
Yeah.
Mostly because I allowed my issues
with Lou to become yours.
And that's not fair,
not to you or him.
Now, you gon' always be my baby.
[soft music]
And no one should clip your wings,
especially not your own mother.
Mm.
And I never want to stand in the way
of anything you want, Will,
or don't want.
[sighs] - Mm.
And that includes a relationship with your father.

Maybe every two years.

How come you never told me?
I just didn't want our relationship
to be defined by my mess.
When you disappear like that...
it drives me crazy.
How about this?
I...
am sharing my location with you.
Now you'll always know where I am.
Cool.
You don't have to hide.
I want to love all of you.
Mess and all?
Especially the mess.
I love you too.
