1
00:00:27,215 --> 00:00:29,467
Maybe we should just call it
a night, okay?
2
00:00:29,549 --> 00:00:31,010
Before one of us says something
that we can't take back.
3
00:00:31,093 --> 00:00:33,845
Like, the fact that maybe we
shouldn't be together anymore?
4
00:00:57,703 --> 00:01:00,456
I haven't heard Xavier's
name in years.
5
00:01:04,126 --> 00:01:07,130
We had an affair.
I got pregnant.
6
00:01:16,012 --> 00:01:18,141
Damon...
7
00:01:18,599 --> 00:01:20,017
I think you're that baby.
8
00:01:23,146 --> 00:01:27,316
No. The man who raised me,
who adopted me,
9
00:01:27,399 --> 00:01:29,943
he wouldn't have lied
to my face my entire life.
10
00:01:30,026 --> 00:01:33,238
I'm sorry, but Xavier
is your biological father.
11
00:01:33,322 --> 00:01:34,948
- You're our son!
- No, Ma.
12
00:01:35,575 --> 00:01:37,534
That would make Damon
and I brothers, and we're not.
13
00:01:38,619 --> 00:01:41,456
I know this is hard for both
of y'all, but you just got to...
14
00:01:41,539 --> 00:01:45,750
No, mom, listen, we took a
DNA test. We're not brothers.
15
00:01:46,377 --> 00:01:50,046
So either the DNA test is wrong
or you're wrong, Ms. Raymond.
16
00:01:51,173 --> 00:01:55,011
- So which one is it?
- Neither.
17
00:01:58,598 --> 00:02:00,892
Do you remember how sick
you were as a kid?
18
00:02:00,975 --> 00:02:03,936
Having aplastic anemia isn't
something that you forget easily.
19
00:02:05,897 --> 00:02:08,064
The surgery was a bone
marrow transplant.
20
00:02:08,148 --> 00:02:10,067
Ma, I know.
21
00:02:10,485 --> 00:02:15,031
Over time, your DNA merges
with the donor's, essentially...
22
00:02:16,448 --> 00:02:18,950
creating a new one.
23
00:02:19,035 --> 00:02:20,744
Which is why
our DNA didn't match.
24
00:02:22,078 --> 00:02:24,707
So y'all should. So y'all two
are the ones that need
25
00:02:24,789 --> 00:02:27,210
to take the DNA test.
26
00:02:27,292 --> 00:02:29,754
If all this is true,
why'd you give me up?
27
00:02:29,836 --> 00:02:33,341
There were a lot of reasons.
But I swear, I only did
28
00:02:33,423 --> 00:02:37,553
what I thought was best
for everyone, including you.
29
00:02:38,303 --> 00:02:41,224
Best for me? Being lied to?
30
00:02:42,807 --> 00:02:45,477
Well, my entire life not knowing
who my birth parents were,
31
00:02:45,561 --> 00:02:49,440
that was what's best for y'all,
that wasn't what's best for me.
32
00:02:51,359 --> 00:02:52,860
Damon.
33
00:03:13,381 --> 00:03:16,591
Episode 11
34
00:03:20,096 --> 00:03:22,889
Okay, that's time.
Test to the front of the room.
35
00:03:33,359 --> 00:03:35,360
My bad!
36
00:03:37,904 --> 00:03:41,117
Was it me or was Professor
Corte's midterm crazy hard?
37
00:03:43,077 --> 00:03:47,038
It's just you. I'm not trying
to brag but I killed it.
38
00:03:49,541 --> 00:03:51,334
Very humble.
39
00:03:57,341 --> 00:04:00,011
How was your fall break?
LA was good?
40
00:04:01,928 --> 00:04:04,723
Yeah. It's fine.
41
00:04:17,819 --> 00:04:21,698
Did I just witness another episode
of the Damone awkward chronicles?
42
00:04:22,032 --> 00:04:24,619
Don't start. Nate,
what are you doing here?
43
00:04:24,701 --> 00:04:26,704
I wanted to check on you.
Since you got back you've been
44
00:04:26,786 --> 00:04:29,456
like Rihanna's next album,
nowhere to be found.
45
00:04:29,874 --> 00:04:33,126
Well, between studying for
midterms, work, and practicing
46
00:04:33,210 --> 00:04:36,422
for the professional qualifying
tennis tournament, I've been busy.
47
00:04:36,504 --> 00:04:39,966
This "I'm fine with the break-up"
act isn't a good look.
48
00:04:40,509 --> 00:04:42,969
Well, I have other things to focus
on other than my break-up, Nate.
49
00:04:44,930 --> 00:04:47,182
When Nico and I split, I thought
I could just go through the motions
50
00:04:47,265 --> 00:04:51,187
and the pain will go away
on its own. That ain't the truth.
51
00:04:52,020 --> 00:04:55,232
Life is like a tape. You can't fast
forward through the hurt.
52
00:04:56,107 --> 00:04:59,235
You have to let the tape play or
the bad's gonna keep on repeating.
53
00:05:01,988 --> 00:05:06,243
Well, thank you for the advice
but I'm fine. Pinky promise.
54
00:05:11,831 --> 00:05:14,417
All right. See you all next week.
55
00:05:18,047 --> 00:05:20,173
That was quite the turnout.
56
00:05:20,632 --> 00:05:23,093
My students know better than
to miss my midterms.
57
00:05:23,176 --> 00:05:25,596
If I recall, you had to learn
that the hard way.
58
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,683
- See, that was past Ralph.
- What brings present Ralph by?
59
00:05:29,266 --> 00:05:33,186
I'm writing a story on Terry Tucker
and the PED scandal in the majors.
60
00:05:33,269 --> 00:05:35,439
And I I thought it would be useful
to get the perspective
61
00:05:35,523 --> 00:05:37,232
of a former teammate.
62
00:05:37,315 --> 00:05:38,608
You mean Marcus?
63
00:05:38,693 --> 00:05:40,986
And you think because I know him,
I could talk him into giving you
64
00:05:41,070 --> 00:05:42,488
an interview?
65
00:05:42,570 --> 00:05:44,989
Well, it's harder for the source
to say no when the request comes
66
00:05:45,073 --> 00:05:46,534
from someone that they trust.
67
00:05:46,616 --> 00:05:48,243
- I taught you that trick.
- Has it worked?
68
00:05:49,035 --> 00:05:51,747
Sorry, but you're gonna have
to seek him out all by yourself.
69
00:05:51,830 --> 00:05:53,833
All good. It's worth the shot.
70
00:05:54,542 --> 00:05:56,126
This could have been
a phone call, Ralph.
71
00:05:56,459 --> 00:05:58,504
I know.
72
00:05:59,087 --> 00:06:00,964
I wanted to stop by in person
and get an update
73
00:06:01,048 --> 00:06:02,799
on the Bringston financial story.
74
00:06:04,385 --> 00:06:07,888
I don't have one. I've been
distracted by Veronica Skinner.
75
00:06:08,305 --> 00:06:10,516
Not only did she try to get me fired
but her reasons for being
76
00:06:10,598 --> 00:06:12,684
at Bringston are a little suspect.
77
00:06:12,767 --> 00:06:14,310
Okay. Well, I get it.
78
00:06:14,394 --> 00:06:16,439
But why does it feel like
you're missing my mid-term?
79
00:06:16,522 --> 00:06:18,815
You know what, I received that.
80
00:06:19,274 --> 00:06:22,945
I need to refocus. I'll pull the minutes
from the latest board meeting.
81
00:06:23,028 --> 00:06:25,071
Maybe there's something in
them that will be useful.
82
00:06:25,155 --> 00:06:26,698
- Okay.
- Okay.
83
00:06:41,672 --> 00:06:44,757
Well, you're getting better
at controlling your forehand.
84
00:06:45,592 --> 00:06:47,427
- Your accuracy in on point.
- Thanks.
85
00:06:49,430 --> 00:06:52,182
Thea, are we okay?
86
00:06:52,265 --> 00:06:54,517
You were kind of mad at me
before fall break.
87
00:06:54,601 --> 00:06:58,771
I'm sorry about that.
I wasn't actually mad at you.
88
00:06:59,230 --> 00:07:02,817
I was just dealing with my PTSD
from Kevin and took it out on you.
89
00:07:03,526 --> 00:07:05,945
But all good now.
90
00:07:06,572 --> 00:07:08,908
Well, I'm proud of you
for how you handled that situation.
91
00:07:10,158 --> 00:07:12,660
So now you can focus on tennis
and whooping ass tomorrow
92
00:07:12,745 --> 00:07:14,622
at the qualifying tournament.
93
00:07:14,705 --> 00:07:17,166
Actually, I've been playing
in pro-tournaments all summer.
94
00:07:17,249 --> 00:07:20,169
So I qualified for this tournament
months ago.
95
00:07:20,503 --> 00:07:23,213
But you're going to do great.
I know it.
96
00:07:23,881 --> 00:07:25,673
Thank you.
97
00:07:26,007 --> 00:07:29,469
And just open your hips a pinch
when you're going crosscourt.
98
00:07:29,969 --> 00:07:33,140
It will help you with your depth.
And an added bonus is you might
99
00:07:33,224 --> 00:07:35,434
even put some poor girl
onto her butt.
100
00:07:36,226 --> 00:07:37,853
- Hold on.
- Yeah?
101
00:07:39,647 --> 00:07:43,692
Compliments. Advice.
Red carpet smile.
102
00:07:44,819 --> 00:07:48,531
You got some new boy in your orbit.
103
00:07:49,907 --> 00:07:51,241
Is it that obvious?
104
00:07:51,325 --> 00:07:54,078
Yes, it's giving me "I got a bae",
but I'm not mad at it.
105
00:07:54,912 --> 00:07:56,704
- It's a good look on you.
- Yeah.
106
00:07:57,413 --> 00:07:59,040
So you're not
gonna tell me his name?
107
00:07:59,123 --> 00:08:01,293
My courts are for training,
not socializing.
108
00:08:01,377 --> 00:08:03,504
Get back to it.
From Coach Loni.
109
00:08:03,587 --> 00:08:06,131
She really does
have eyes everywhere.
110
00:08:07,465 --> 00:08:10,385
All right, make way, boys!
Make way!
111
00:08:10,468 --> 00:08:12,595
We got ourselves
a legend coming through!
112
00:08:13,179 --> 00:08:14,390
You know, chill, chill, chill,
I ain't a legend yet.
113
00:08:15,057 --> 00:08:16,724
Give me a few more games
then we'll talk about it.
114
00:08:16,809 --> 00:08:19,060
No, no, we won the game
because of you, man.
115
00:08:19,144 --> 00:08:21,230
If that play was an NFT,
you'd make a fortune.
116
00:08:21,564 --> 00:08:24,483
That was the absolute worst
baseball I've ever seen you play.
117
00:08:25,401 --> 00:08:27,068
Did you even wanna be out there,
Damon?
118
00:08:27,151 --> 00:08:29,655
Coach, I'm sorry, all right?
I got a lot of personal...
119
00:08:29,737 --> 00:08:34,492
No excuses! Okay? Pull your head
out of your ass before it rides
120
00:08:34,576 --> 00:08:37,413
the pine this season,
you got me? Come on now!
121
00:08:53,469 --> 00:08:55,847
- What's up?
- Hey! Congrats on the win.
122
00:08:56,222 --> 00:08:59,310
Thank you, but it,
it wasn't really my best game.
123
00:08:59,810 --> 00:09:01,353
So you're aware. Great.
124
00:09:01,436 --> 00:09:04,398
I thought I was gonna have to pretend
that your pitching wasn't awful.
125
00:09:04,481 --> 00:09:07,066
Well, you would only know that
if you came to my game.
126
00:09:07,150 --> 00:09:09,945
So I didn't know that you were
such a big Damon Sim's fan.
127
00:09:10,028 --> 00:09:13,156
Slow down, big guy.
It wasn't about you.
128
00:09:13,490 --> 00:09:15,868
- I just like the uniforms.
- Yeah. I bet you do.
129
00:09:24,293 --> 00:09:26,461
You don't need to take that?
130
00:09:26,545 --> 00:09:29,714
No. What I need to do is,
I need to take you on
131
00:09:29,798 --> 00:09:31,424
that date that we were
supposed to go on.
132
00:09:33,552 --> 00:09:35,470
So what do you say
we try for tonight?
133
00:09:35,888 --> 00:09:37,890
- I'm in.
- All right.
134
00:09:39,183 --> 00:09:40,433
Come on.
135
00:09:40,516 --> 00:09:43,770
But Damon, whatever
you're hiding from...
136
00:09:44,229 --> 00:09:46,440
you're gonna have to face
it sooner or later.
137
00:09:55,074 --> 00:09:57,867
Terry "TNT" Tucker has been
suspended indefinitely
138
00:09:57,952 --> 00:10:01,621
from professional baseball for using
performance enhancing drugs.
139
00:10:01,705 --> 00:10:03,415
- Yo, didn't you play with him?
- Yeah, what about it?
140
00:10:03,791 --> 00:10:05,250
I don't know, it just makes me wonder
how many guys
141
00:10:05,334 --> 00:10:07,419
we know that's taking this stuff.
142
00:10:07,836 --> 00:10:10,797
I guess we'll find out in due time.
Truth always comes out.
143
00:10:13,217 --> 00:10:16,260
Hey! Our boy made play of the day.
144
00:10:17,221 --> 00:10:21,016
Oh, snap! Yo, between the boys
playing like they're playing
145
00:10:21,099 --> 00:10:24,435
and the HBCU Baseball highlights
and now this extra media coverage
146
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,854
on JR's play.
147
00:10:26,562 --> 00:10:28,565
Man, the trustees would be
blind not to see us as
148
00:10:28,648 --> 00:10:30,526
a championship
caliber team again.
149
00:10:31,568 --> 00:10:34,779
Yeah. As long as we don't get hit
with another scandal.
150
00:10:35,154 --> 00:10:37,740
Why would we? There's nothing
scandalous left.
151
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,103
Yo, when I said a date, I meant
like, like a movie or something.
152
00:11:06,811 --> 00:11:08,521
Yeah, I know. But I thought
you needed something
153
00:11:08,605 --> 00:11:10,774
a little more healing.
154
00:11:11,357 --> 00:11:14,445
Healing?
Thea, where the hell are we?
155
00:11:15,487 --> 00:11:19,866
Athlete heaven. Time for
a little physical therapy...
156
00:11:21,076 --> 00:11:22,411
Thea May style.
157
00:11:26,914 --> 00:11:29,000
All right.
Breathe through it, okay?
158
00:11:43,181 --> 00:11:44,724
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
159
00:11:46,643 --> 00:11:49,521
- Are you ready for the best part?
- There's a best part?
160
00:11:55,943 --> 00:11:57,653
How was this the best part?
161
00:12:02,284 --> 00:12:06,120
- How are you not cold?
- I'm cold. I'm just not a baby.
162
00:12:08,873 --> 00:12:11,334
But I bet I last
in here longer than you.
163
00:12:11,794 --> 00:12:14,171
- What do I win?
- What do you want?
164
00:12:14,962 --> 00:12:16,882
I get to shave your legs.
165
00:12:18,300 --> 00:12:23,846
Bet. But if I win,
I get to take you out on a real date.
166
00:12:24,848 --> 00:12:27,059
It's cute you think you've got
a chance to win.
167
00:12:33,648 --> 00:12:35,316
Hey, Ma. What you doing here?
168
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,611
I know you said you needed
some space but...
169
00:12:38,779 --> 00:12:40,905
I got the DNA test results back.
170
00:12:43,867 --> 00:12:46,536
Damon is my biological son.
171
00:12:49,581 --> 00:12:52,835
- Did you tell him?
- He won't answer my calls.
172
00:12:53,668 --> 00:12:56,045
Could you blame him?
Ma, you abandoned him.
173
00:12:56,130 --> 00:12:58,340
How could you do that?
174
00:12:58,423 --> 00:13:01,343
Blended families exist,
y'all could have made it work.
175
00:13:01,969 --> 00:13:04,804
Your father refused to raise
another man's child.
176
00:13:05,472 --> 00:13:07,390
Then you got sick,
and with all the treatments
177
00:13:07,474 --> 00:13:09,143
and the bills adding up,
I couldn't...
178
00:13:09,225 --> 00:13:12,896
So you had to decide between
keeping Damon or taking care of me.
179
00:13:13,479 --> 00:13:16,524
Baby, no.
That is not what I'm saying.
180
00:13:16,607 --> 00:13:18,235
Are you sure, Ma?
181
00:13:18,317 --> 00:13:20,152
'Cause that's exactly what
I'm hearing, and that's
182
00:13:20,237 --> 00:13:23,615
what Damon is gonna hear.
I gotta go. Coach texted me.
183
00:13:37,086 --> 00:13:40,464
Young blood in the slick suit.
What can I do for you?
184
00:13:40,549 --> 00:13:42,717
Sorry to disturb you but,
if you have a moment I wanted
185
00:13:42,801 --> 00:13:44,720
to talk to you about Terry Tucker.
186
00:13:44,802 --> 00:13:46,721
Yeah, what about him?
187
00:13:46,805 --> 00:13:49,558
I'm doing a story on the rise
of PED use in the MLB.
188
00:13:49,933 --> 00:13:52,476
When you two played together
back in o-five,
189
00:13:52,811 --> 00:13:55,229
did he exhibit any suspicious
behavior?
190
00:13:56,230 --> 00:13:58,275
I didn't notice anything.
191
00:14:00,235 --> 00:14:02,361
And was there any indication
of other players on the team,
192
00:14:02,446 --> 00:14:04,781
using PED's as well?
193
00:14:05,781 --> 00:14:08,160
One bad player and you wanna call
the integrity of an entire team
194
00:14:08,242 --> 00:14:09,745
into question.
195
00:14:09,827 --> 00:14:11,746
Come on, Marcus. Terry couldn't
have been the only player
196
00:14:11,830 --> 00:14:13,873
in that locker room playing dirty.
197
00:14:13,956 --> 00:14:16,959
Like I said, man,
I didn't notice anything.
198
00:14:18,629 --> 00:14:22,883
Really? Or was it maybe just
easier to ignore what you saw?
199
00:14:22,965 --> 00:14:25,802
Are you digging up a quote
about Terry or about me?
200
00:14:25,886 --> 00:14:28,138
Look, I know you have
a thing for Amara.
201
00:14:28,220 --> 00:14:30,640
But do you think taking me down
is the best way to impress her?
202
00:14:31,225 --> 00:14:34,895
My feelings for Amara have nothing
to do with you or my work.
203
00:14:35,353 --> 00:14:38,190
I don't know if you have
any more questions, but my answer
204
00:14:38,273 --> 00:14:42,444
to all of them is, no comment.
So see yourself out, Ralph.
205
00:14:54,164 --> 00:14:58,085
Marcus, this
is Dr. Epps calling again.
206
00:14:58,167 --> 00:14:59,752
The Pharmacy said you still have
not picked up your refill
207
00:14:59,835 --> 00:15:03,298
for Aripiprazole. Marcus, it's not
effective if you don't take it daily.
208
00:15:08,052 --> 00:15:10,847
I'm gonna grab a juice before
I I see you at night, all right?
209
00:15:12,849 --> 00:15:14,350
- Sorry.
- My bad.
210
00:15:16,061 --> 00:15:18,229
You good?
211
00:15:18,313 --> 00:15:21,441
I could ask you the same question.
I heard about the game.
212
00:15:22,901 --> 00:15:24,403
We won.
213
00:15:24,485 --> 00:15:27,155
Despite your pitching.
What happened out there?
214
00:15:28,198 --> 00:15:31,201
Just, I had one bad game.
That's it.
215
00:15:31,283 --> 00:15:34,329
- Why do I feel like you're lying?
- I don't know.
216
00:15:35,579 --> 00:15:39,500
Hi. Sorry, I don't mean to interrupt.
Hi, Simone.
217
00:15:40,376 --> 00:15:42,421
Hey, D,
I'm gonna grab us a table.
218
00:15:42,878 --> 00:15:44,338
All right.
I'll see you in a sec.
219
00:15:46,842 --> 00:15:49,552
Since when did you two
become besties?
220
00:15:51,095 --> 00:15:52,930
I'll see you around, all right?
221
00:16:02,733 --> 00:16:04,900
Chocolate, like...
222
00:16:05,777 --> 00:16:08,071
I have been looking for you.
223
00:16:10,406 --> 00:16:12,324
- Hey, Auntie.
- Don't "Hey, Auntie" me.
224
00:16:12,742 --> 00:16:15,077
Why haven't I seen you since
you've been back from LA?
225
00:16:15,162 --> 00:16:16,580
Why you look so exhausted?
226
00:16:16,662 --> 00:16:18,998
And, most importantly, why did
Professor Corte just give me
227
00:16:19,081 --> 00:16:21,668
a heads-up that you're getting
a C on your midterm?
228
00:16:22,294 --> 00:16:25,589
That can't be right. Auntie
I'm all A's in his class.
229
00:16:25,964 --> 00:16:27,840
Which is why he's concerned.
230
00:16:29,300 --> 00:16:33,263
I guess balancing studying, work
and tennis is harder than I thought.
231
00:16:33,638 --> 00:16:35,724
But everything will be fine
after the match tomorrow.
232
00:16:35,806 --> 00:16:37,600
That was nice and rehearsed.
233
00:16:39,519 --> 00:16:41,438
Okay, I'll dig.
What happened in LA?
234
00:16:41,771 --> 00:16:44,358
Because I'm guessing
this all has to do with that.
235
00:16:47,736 --> 00:16:52,032
- Jordan and I broke up.
- Simone, I am so sorry.
236
00:16:52,949 --> 00:16:55,702
No, I'm fine. Seriously.
237
00:16:56,118 --> 00:16:58,204
Jordan was a
major part of your life.
238
00:16:59,121 --> 00:17:02,459
Pretending that losing him
is just another Tuesday isn't healthy.
239
00:17:02,834 --> 00:17:06,338
I hear you, but I'm good.
I promise. I need to focus
240
00:17:06,420 --> 00:17:08,423
on getting my American Lit
grade up, so...
241
00:17:09,216 --> 00:17:10,926
what do you think?
242
00:17:11,008 --> 00:17:13,052
Do you think Professor Corte
will give me another shot?
243
00:17:13,637 --> 00:17:16,014
I don't know, baby girl.
It's worth asking.
244
00:17:19,850 --> 00:17:22,978
Just know it's okay not
to be okay.
245
00:17:23,729 --> 00:17:27,984
And if you find yourself
in that place, I'm here.
246
00:17:41,540 --> 00:17:44,750
- Glad you could finally make it.
- Sorry, Coach. My mom stopped by.
247
00:17:46,086 --> 00:17:47,962
Actually, can I get your advice
on something?
248
00:17:48,046 --> 00:17:50,924
I get it. Now that you've made
"Play of the Day" you big time now.
249
00:17:51,799 --> 00:17:53,592
You don't care about other
people's schedules, son?
250
00:17:53,676 --> 00:17:56,512
That's not true. Not at all.
Sure, everybody been hitting me up
251
00:17:56,596 --> 00:17:59,431
about it, but I thought you'd be
happy for me. It's good press, right?
252
00:17:59,766 --> 00:18:03,269
Wrong. Bringston doesn't
need any more press right now, son.
253
00:18:03,687 --> 00:18:07,398
Wasn't the HBCU Baseball
highlights about media attention?
254
00:18:08,190 --> 00:18:09,775
Coach, this is a good look for me.
255
00:18:09,859 --> 00:18:12,487
Look, everything isn't about you,
JR. All right, if they're putting
256
00:18:12,571 --> 00:18:15,322
a focus on you, it'll come at the
cost of someone else.
257
00:18:15,407 --> 00:18:18,243
Now, the homecoming game against
Hawk is the end-all be-all for us.
258
00:18:18,326 --> 00:18:20,786
And if we don't focus on that,
we're finished.
259
00:18:20,871 --> 00:18:23,622
Now, do you wanna be the reason
that Bringston Baseball doesn't make it
260
00:18:23,707 --> 00:18:24,957
to the spring?
261
00:18:25,375 --> 00:18:27,878
I need you focused on the team!
262
00:18:27,961 --> 00:18:30,464
You understand me?
Do you understand me, son?
263
00:18:33,299 --> 00:18:37,678
- I asked you a question.
- Yes, sir. I get it.
264
00:18:41,056 --> 00:18:42,850
Yeah.
265
00:18:44,518 --> 00:18:47,439
So, I've been over the minutes
from all the financial meetings.
266
00:18:47,522 --> 00:18:50,191
Remember the trustee
I was telling you about?
267
00:18:50,609 --> 00:18:52,110
Veronica or something.
268
00:18:52,194 --> 00:18:54,571
Skinner. Right.
Well, she's all over these minutes.
269
00:18:54,653 --> 00:18:57,531
Why is that strange?
She's a board member.
270
00:18:57,616 --> 00:19:00,035
A new intern board member.
She didn't even take a second
271
00:19:00,117 --> 00:19:02,037
to get the lay of the land.
272
00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:05,539
She jumped in day one pushing to
increase funding in the engineering
273
00:19:05,623 --> 00:19:07,042
and liberal arts departments.
274
00:19:07,666 --> 00:19:09,251
And they seem
to be listening to her.
275
00:19:10,002 --> 00:19:12,297
Wait, if Bringston
is having financial problems,
276
00:19:12,379 --> 00:19:14,465
why are they giving any extra
money to any programs?
277
00:19:15,174 --> 00:19:17,427
I don't know. But I'm starting
to think my financial story
278
00:19:17,511 --> 00:19:20,679
and whatever Veronica is doing
at Bringston are one and the same.
279
00:19:21,222 --> 00:19:23,767
You have any sources close to her?
280
00:19:23,849 --> 00:19:26,143
One. Her sister.
281
00:19:26,477 --> 00:19:29,481
Great. So, work your Amara magic
and then break the story.
282
00:19:31,190 --> 00:19:33,610
It's going to be a little more
complicated than that, Ralph.
283
00:19:33,984 --> 00:19:37,112
But I'm figuring it out.
284
00:19:41,952 --> 00:19:44,912
So I ended up
speaking with Marcus.
285
00:19:46,455 --> 00:19:48,458
Okay, how did it go?
286
00:19:48,540 --> 00:19:53,045
Something's going on with him.
He got pretty, aggressive with me.
287
00:19:53,504 --> 00:19:58,593
Aggressive? Marcus Turner? I'm
sure you're misreading the situation.
288
00:19:59,051 --> 00:20:00,971
Yeah, trust me, I'm not.
289
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:09,020
Ralph, just because I stopped
pursuing something romantic
290
00:20:09,104 --> 00:20:11,272
with you doesn't mean you
get to take that...
291
00:20:11,356 --> 00:20:12,898
What is it with you two?
292
00:20:12,983 --> 00:20:15,610
Look, I'm a grown-ass man
that can handle rejection just fine.
293
00:20:16,277 --> 00:20:20,574
But I've got two eyes,
and what I saw wasn't right.
294
00:20:22,033 --> 00:20:26,704
Look, If I was you, I would give
him some space. I should go.
295
00:20:35,504 --> 00:20:39,593
Is it me or does it feel like
we're in a cheesy romantic novel?
296
00:20:40,135 --> 00:20:41,595
I'm gonna need you
to retract your shade.
297
00:20:42,137 --> 00:20:44,888
- I love romance novels.
- Thea, I know you don't.
298
00:20:45,765 --> 00:20:48,393
No, you're right.
They're corny and unrealistic.
299
00:20:48,476 --> 00:20:51,895
At least so I've heard.
I do love this though.
300
00:20:52,521 --> 00:20:55,942
It's been the best night.
301
00:20:56,942 --> 00:20:59,445
Yeah.
302
00:21:00,029 --> 00:21:02,198
Nah, it really has.
303
00:21:02,656 --> 00:21:05,660
Damn, I didn't mean to...
304
00:21:05,743 --> 00:21:08,412
Yeah, well, you did. All right?
305
00:21:09,621 --> 00:21:12,541
- What's going on, man?
- DNA test results came in.
306
00:21:15,711 --> 00:21:17,504
It's cool, bro.
I already filled her in.
307
00:21:19,882 --> 00:21:23,386
She's your mother.
We're half-brothers, man.
308
00:21:25,639 --> 00:21:27,431
Look, I know this may be hard,
but ignoring our mother
309
00:21:27,515 --> 00:21:29,100
isn't gonna make it any easier.
310
00:21:29,183 --> 00:21:31,227
I don't care what the
DNA test says, all right?
311
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,021
She's never gonna
be my mother.
312
00:21:33,563 --> 00:21:35,439
Bro, she gave me up without
even a second thought!
313
00:21:35,522 --> 00:21:38,735
Okay, D, I hear that.
I do. But what about us?
314
00:21:40,402 --> 00:21:42,780
So ghosting me has
been intentional.
315
00:21:43,365 --> 00:21:45,575
Say it, Damon.
316
00:21:45,657 --> 00:21:47,201
Look, you were sick,
all right?
317
00:21:47,285 --> 00:21:49,162
And she took care of you
and got rid of me.
318
00:21:49,244 --> 00:21:50,789
You are literally
the chosen son.
319
00:21:50,871 --> 00:21:52,499
Okay. Damon,
if I could change it, I would.
320
00:21:52,582 --> 00:21:55,334
But you can't. And so, now
every time that I look at you,
321
00:21:55,418 --> 00:21:58,212
I'm reminded that it was more
important to take care of JR
322
00:21:58,296 --> 00:21:59,463
than it was to keep me.
323
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,553
Understood.
324
00:22:11,433 --> 00:22:15,730
I'm sorry about this,
all this family drama.
325
00:22:17,357 --> 00:22:19,693
That is not how I wanted
our date to end.
326
00:22:20,275 --> 00:22:21,736
You didn't deserve that.
327
00:22:23,113 --> 00:22:25,907
Yeah. And JR didn't
deserve that.
328
00:22:27,784 --> 00:22:29,660
Wait, his mom literally
gave me away.
329
00:22:29,743 --> 00:22:33,122
Yeah, she did. Not him.
Neither of you asked for this.
330
00:22:33,914 --> 00:22:36,626
Look, I understand that
you're hurt, and you need to do
331
00:22:36,708 --> 00:22:38,293
what's best for you.
332
00:22:38,378 --> 00:22:40,421
So talk to your birth
mom or don't.
333
00:22:40,505 --> 00:22:42,382
But burning your new found brother,
who's been your best friend
334
00:22:42,464 --> 00:22:45,218
since you got here,
won't do you nor him any good.
335
00:23:04,403 --> 00:23:06,573
Jessie Raymond, that hair!
336
00:23:06,655 --> 00:23:08,282
You're supposed to be
in my chair every two weeks.
337
00:23:08,366 --> 00:23:10,243
Yeah. I'm actually not here
for a haircut. I'm here to talk.
338
00:23:11,244 --> 00:23:14,164
Sorry, I wish I could,
but I got a big tournament.
339
00:23:14,246 --> 00:23:16,832
Well, I was here to talk to Nate but,
you do wanna look like you need
340
00:23:16,915 --> 00:23:18,667
a vent session.
341
00:23:18,750 --> 00:23:19,960
You good?
342
00:23:20,043 --> 00:23:22,964
Simone, your face just called.
I think it needs you to pick it up.
343
00:23:23,630 --> 00:23:25,049
Whatever.
344
00:23:25,884 --> 00:23:28,051
- Is this about Damon?
- I got this.
345
00:23:29,094 --> 00:23:30,971
You go handle your business
on the courts, missy.
346
00:23:31,598 --> 00:23:33,141
Bring home something shiny
for the room,
347
00:23:33,224 --> 00:23:35,268
since you've yet to add
anything to the decor.
348
00:23:38,938 --> 00:23:40,647
Since you're here,
I might as well get you right.
349
00:23:47,154 --> 00:23:49,490
You know, I found out Damon
is my biological brother.
350
00:23:51,074 --> 00:23:54,579
That was not on my bingo
card. You two must be thrilled.
351
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,081
Actually, he don't want nothing
to do with me.
352
00:23:58,750 --> 00:24:00,251
I just...
353
00:24:00,335 --> 00:24:02,544
I feel like my illness
always takes things from me.
354
00:24:02,629 --> 00:24:04,714
First, my brother. Baseball.
355
00:24:05,507 --> 00:24:07,592
I can't do anything
about the brother part.
356
00:24:09,510 --> 00:24:11,595
But look at the views
your video has gotten.
357
00:24:11,678 --> 00:24:14,014
Peep the comments.
If they aren't talking about
358
00:24:14,098 --> 00:24:16,226
which MLB team you're gonna
be on, they're talking about
359
00:24:16,308 --> 00:24:17,727
who's gonna date you.
360
00:24:18,728 --> 00:24:21,606
So I would say no one and nothing
has ever taken baseball from you.
361
00:24:22,105 --> 00:24:23,775
I don't know. Now Coach is saying
I'm taking too much attention
362
00:24:23,857 --> 00:24:25,734
away from the team.
363
00:24:25,819 --> 00:24:27,528
You know, is that who I am?
364
00:24:27,612 --> 00:24:29,571
Do people get kicked
to the curb because of me?
365
00:24:29,655 --> 00:24:30,864
Now, you listen to me.
366
00:24:30,948 --> 00:24:33,033
You cannot blame yourself
for the choices your mother made.
367
00:24:33,117 --> 00:24:35,369
You didn't choose to be sick.
Damon will see that.
368
00:24:35,787 --> 00:24:37,789
As far as your coach,
don't let him steal this moment
369
00:24:37,872 --> 00:24:40,458
because you've earned it on
and off the field.
370
00:24:41,333 --> 00:24:42,626
Yeah.
371
00:24:42,710 --> 00:24:45,295
Matter of fact, I'm gonna work with
you as your social media manager
372
00:24:45,380 --> 00:24:48,049
to make sure you don't
miss this moment.
373
00:24:54,096 --> 00:24:56,057
So, it's for real?
374
00:24:57,642 --> 00:25:00,143
I know you'll never be able
to forgive me.
375
00:25:00,686 --> 00:25:06,025
But I do love you. And I'm here,
if and when you're ready
376
00:25:06,108 --> 00:25:07,943
to have a relationship.
377
00:25:08,278 --> 00:25:10,320
- You love me?
- Yes.
378
00:25:11,489 --> 00:25:14,741
But how? You don't know me.
For eighteen years you knew
379
00:25:14,826 --> 00:25:17,828
that I was out there, and you
never bothered to contact me.
380
00:25:18,412 --> 00:25:20,914
No phone calls on Christmas,
no birthday cards, nothing.
381
00:25:23,584 --> 00:25:25,503
Because that's
what Xavier wanted.
382
00:25:26,128 --> 00:25:28,590
My dad wanted
to keep you away from me?
383
00:25:30,632 --> 00:25:35,972
He had just married your mom
when I called to tell him about you.
384
00:25:37,139 --> 00:25:40,852
He didn't wanna lose her, so...
385
00:25:41,436 --> 00:25:43,730
I agreed to stay away.
386
00:25:44,230 --> 00:25:46,441
Not only did my dad lie
to me my entire life,
387
00:25:46,982 --> 00:25:51,695
but he kept my birth mother
away from me because he didn't want
388
00:25:51,778 --> 00:25:53,740
to own up to his mistake?
389
00:25:53,822 --> 00:25:55,783
Damon, I'm...
390
00:25:56,950 --> 00:25:59,745
- I gotta go.
- I'm sorry.
391
00:26:07,962 --> 00:26:10,255
You can see
the Dunnett from here.
392
00:26:10,964 --> 00:26:13,259
Yeah,
I was fortunate to find this place.
393
00:26:13,342 --> 00:26:16,470
Fortunate? Girl,
I am sure you earned it.
394
00:26:16,888 --> 00:26:18,513
That was always your MO.
395
00:26:19,097 --> 00:26:21,267
I think your sister,
Veronica would beg to differ.
396
00:26:23,895 --> 00:26:26,938
Look, Jada, I'm sorry for
what happened in college.
397
00:26:27,523 --> 00:26:30,193
You got caught up in my activism
wake and I got you suspended.
398
00:26:30,567 --> 00:26:33,904
Stop. I got myself suspended.
You didn't make me do anything
399
00:26:33,987 --> 00:26:36,782
that I wasn't gonna
already do anyway.
400
00:26:37,908 --> 00:26:39,535
Sometimes trouble's
the price you pay for doing
401
00:26:39,619 --> 00:26:41,286
the right thing.
402
00:26:41,371 --> 00:26:44,207
But then if you truly don't blame me,
why is Veronica here
403
00:26:44,290 --> 00:26:46,249
at Bringston with a vendetta?
404
00:26:46,334 --> 00:26:47,751
She tried to have me fired.
405
00:26:47,835 --> 00:26:50,296
I am so sorry that
she has been coming after you.
406
00:26:50,797 --> 00:26:53,424
And now she's meddling
in Bringston's finances.
407
00:26:53,507 --> 00:26:55,259
Is that somehow
about me too?
408
00:26:55,342 --> 00:26:57,636
Veronica doesn't mix personal
with business like that.
409
00:26:58,012 --> 00:27:00,098
And Bringston isn't the only
board that she's a part of.
410
00:27:00,847 --> 00:27:04,142
- What other board is she on?
- Willis Cobb. It's a...
411
00:27:04,226 --> 00:27:06,019
PWI in Marietta.
412
00:27:06,104 --> 00:27:08,231
Yes. They're having money
troubles just like Bringston.
413
00:27:09,065 --> 00:27:11,525
She's helping them get their
finances in order too.
414
00:27:12,025 --> 00:27:15,445
This is what she does for a living,
Amara. She's good at it.
415
00:27:16,488 --> 00:27:19,492
So, you're saying it's possible that
Veronica is here to help Bringston?
416
00:27:20,033 --> 00:27:22,245
I wouldn't go that far.
Wherever Veronica goes,
417
00:27:22,328 --> 00:27:27,332
whoever she quote,
unquote helps, ends up sold.
418
00:27:35,133 --> 00:27:37,468
Girl, you won. You qualified
for your first pro tournament.
419
00:27:37,551 --> 00:27:39,053
How are you not screaming
right now?
420
00:27:39,136 --> 00:27:40,929
I am excited. I'm just tired.
421
00:27:41,014 --> 00:27:43,598
You got to get it together, girl. We
are going out to celebrate, right now.
422
00:27:44,015 --> 00:27:45,392
Becca...
423
00:27:45,476 --> 00:27:46,977
I know you probably wanna
call your boyfriend and celebrate
424
00:27:47,061 --> 00:27:49,480
with him first, but you got
twenty minutes with him,
425
00:27:49,563 --> 00:27:50,690
and then we're going out.
426
00:27:50,773 --> 00:27:53,109
Tell Jordan I said what's up.
427
00:28:05,412 --> 00:28:07,915
Hey....
What's going on?
428
00:28:10,876 --> 00:28:14,087
How can I help? Simone.
429
00:28:14,172 --> 00:28:18,467
No. Damon, I'm fine.
You can go now.
430
00:28:19,343 --> 00:28:20,636
You are not fine, all right?
431
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,179
You're a worse liar than me.
432
00:28:26,099 --> 00:28:29,978
I'm going through some stuff
right now and I'm having
433
00:28:30,063 --> 00:28:32,814
a really hard time handling
it on my own.
434
00:28:34,525 --> 00:28:36,402
But I can't talk
to you about it.
435
00:28:36,485 --> 00:28:39,613
Look. I know that things
have been weird between us since
436
00:28:39,697 --> 00:28:42,366
we got back from Chicago,
and I know that I crossed the line
437
00:28:42,449 --> 00:28:44,534
and I need to respect the boundaries
between you and Jordan.
438
00:28:44,911 --> 00:28:49,123
Damon, I cannot talk to you about
this! Please, just leave!
439
00:28:50,208 --> 00:28:52,460
So what, we can't support
each other anymore?
440
00:28:52,543 --> 00:28:54,003
Come on, is
this who we really are now?
441
00:28:54,087 --> 00:28:57,673
Yes. And I need you to figure
yourself out without me.
442
00:28:58,466 --> 00:29:00,675
And I need to take care
of my stuff without you.
443
00:29:34,460 --> 00:29:40,466
Yes. Okay. The body
is bodying. This is great.
444
00:29:41,467 --> 00:29:44,053
I can get three Yard Yak
videos off this one workout.
445
00:29:48,431 --> 00:29:50,143
I appreciate you helping me out
with everything.
446
00:29:50,225 --> 00:29:52,853
I meant it when I said you have
to take advantage of this moment.
447
00:29:53,229 --> 00:29:56,149
Just don't forget my ten percent
when you get that first pro-baller check.
448
00:29:57,065 --> 00:30:00,236
Are you hard of hearing or just
plain stupid?
449
00:30:00,694 --> 00:30:02,655
Now, I told you to focus on
baseball and let go
450
00:30:02,737 --> 00:30:05,073
of this social media crap, JR!
451
00:30:05,615 --> 00:30:08,994
I do not need another
Damon Sims on this team!
452
00:30:09,453 --> 00:30:11,455
You don't have another Damon Sims
on this team.
453
00:30:12,331 --> 00:30:14,083
You got a Jessie Raymond, Jr.
And you know what?
454
00:30:14,165 --> 00:30:16,042
I'm not gonna apologize
for what I've been through
455
00:30:16,127 --> 00:30:17,919
or who I am.
456
00:30:18,254 --> 00:30:20,882
I'm not breaking any school rules,
so you'll just have to get used
457
00:30:20,964 --> 00:30:22,925
to seeing my name trending.
458
00:30:26,345 --> 00:30:28,723
They're all looking at you
because you were doing
459
00:30:28,805 --> 00:30:30,558
a lot just now.
460
00:30:31,182 --> 00:30:32,894
Respectfully.
461
00:30:46,823 --> 00:30:51,078
- So, are you going to say it?
- You were right.
462
00:30:53,079 --> 00:30:55,291
And remind me which thing
I was right about?
463
00:30:55,373 --> 00:30:57,208
'Cause I'm right
about almost everything.
464
00:30:57,709 --> 00:30:59,544
I lashed out 'cause I was hurt.
465
00:31:00,213 --> 00:31:02,590
But you've made me realize
that I can't burn my friends
466
00:31:02,672 --> 00:31:04,257
and family.
467
00:31:04,634 --> 00:31:06,260
Not now when
I need them the most.
468
00:31:06,343 --> 00:31:09,763
Well, look at that. An athlete
learning something useful in college.
469
00:31:10,263 --> 00:31:12,725
Yeah. Like, you helped give me
the wake-up call that I needed
470
00:31:12,808 --> 00:31:14,976
to talk to my birth mom.
471
00:31:15,061 --> 00:31:16,811
How'd that go?
472
00:31:16,896 --> 00:31:20,274
It was hard. And learning that
my dad had a part in it
473
00:31:20,358 --> 00:31:22,151
on top of everything, just...
474
00:31:24,110 --> 00:31:26,530
But, like, just being
around you these past few days,
475
00:31:26,988 --> 00:31:29,951
you really helped me
together.
476
00:31:31,994 --> 00:31:37,123
It's cool because you and me,
it was not complicated or messy.
477
00:31:38,751 --> 00:31:41,128
It just feels right.
478
00:31:43,464 --> 00:31:45,674
Yeah.
479
00:31:46,466 --> 00:31:49,386
I want to give this a shot.
Like, a real shot.
480
00:31:51,305 --> 00:31:54,934
As in us being like a couple?
481
00:31:55,726 --> 00:31:59,771
Yes.
What do you think?
482
00:32:03,025 --> 00:32:04,734
Well...
483
00:32:05,361 --> 00:32:09,698
- It's like that?
- No. I would like that, too.
484
00:32:28,884 --> 00:32:30,970
All right.
I'll call you later.
485
00:32:31,052 --> 00:32:33,014
Yeah. You better.
486
00:32:38,852 --> 00:32:41,187
I have a boyfriend.
487
00:32:45,150 --> 00:32:46,192
- Hey.
- Hi.
488
00:32:46,277 --> 00:32:47,862
You know that black scarf
I let you borrow?
489
00:32:47,945 --> 00:32:49,447
I'mma need it back.
490
00:32:49,529 --> 00:32:51,448
Oh, okay.
What's the occasion?
491
00:32:51,948 --> 00:32:54,576
Simone and Jordan broke up and
now she's ready to deal with it.
492
00:32:55,161 --> 00:32:58,413
Still doesn't explain the scarf
but whatever.
493
00:32:59,748 --> 00:33:01,332
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
494
00:33:16,015 --> 00:33:19,977
I owe you an apology, man,
for how I've been acting lately.
495
00:33:21,812 --> 00:33:23,564
It's all just been a
little much, you know.
496
00:33:23,647 --> 00:33:25,691
Yeah. Life's been heavy.
497
00:33:26,816 --> 00:33:30,737
Yeah.
I sat down with Celine, man.
498
00:33:33,199 --> 00:33:35,326
And?
499
00:33:35,742 --> 00:33:38,036
I'm not ready to take it
to the next step with her.
500
00:33:38,870 --> 00:33:41,706
But even though I'm not sure
about her, I know for a fact
501
00:33:41,791 --> 00:33:43,249
that I'm ready to get
to know my new brother.
502
00:33:48,130 --> 00:33:50,048
I feel like we've done said these
words to each other before,
503
00:33:51,091 --> 00:33:53,468
but somehow we keep ending up
in the same spot.
504
00:33:53,552 --> 00:33:57,014
Yeah, but J, this time it's different,
right? All the secrets are out, man.
505
00:33:58,098 --> 00:34:01,518
We are family. And I'mma always
have my brother's back.
506
00:34:11,070 --> 00:34:13,279
Boy, you something else.
507
00:34:16,033 --> 00:34:19,202
So, Mr. Play of the Day.
508
00:34:20,204 --> 00:34:22,790
So now that we officially brothers,
do I get like a family discount
509
00:34:22,872 --> 00:34:26,127
or I got to pay full price for my,
autograph?
510
00:34:27,335 --> 00:34:29,296
Nathaniel's helping me take it
to the next level.
511
00:34:29,921 --> 00:34:32,340
But that's if Coach
still let me play.
512
00:34:33,467 --> 00:34:35,218
Okay, hold on, what do you mean?
513
00:34:35,302 --> 00:34:38,263
He yelled at me yesterday for
going viral, like, out of nowhere.
514
00:34:39,639 --> 00:34:41,559
Almost like Coach wasn't himself.
515
00:34:41,641 --> 00:34:44,437
Okay. You too? He chewed me out
for not being on my game.
516
00:34:45,187 --> 00:34:47,064
He didn't even ask what
was up or anything.
517
00:34:47,647 --> 00:34:48,982
You think something's
wrong with him?
518
00:34:49,316 --> 00:34:52,528
I don't know, man.
I think I know somebody that would.
519
00:35:03,205 --> 00:35:06,083
When did you find time
to dig this hole?
520
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,252
Don't ask questions to things
you don't want the answer to.
521
00:35:17,135 --> 00:35:20,848
Dearly beloved, we have
gathered here today not
522
00:35:20,931 --> 00:35:24,852
to mourn the loss of Simone's first
love, but to celebrate what it was.
523
00:35:29,190 --> 00:35:30,524
These were...
524
00:35:36,196 --> 00:35:38,616
They were some of the best days
I've ever had.
525
00:35:40,283 --> 00:35:46,290
But I know that there are other
best days to come, right?
526
00:35:47,123 --> 00:35:49,502
Hey.
527
00:36:01,137 --> 00:36:03,015
I'm in love with you, Simone.
528
00:36:11,231 --> 00:36:13,816
This is your graduation.
Our alternative graduation.
529
00:36:24,202 --> 00:36:26,788
I know they say it's bad luck
to see your bride with her dress
530
00:36:26,871 --> 00:36:29,792
on wedding day but
I can't stop staring at you.
531
00:36:34,380 --> 00:36:39,300
This is the only copy
of our wedding photo that I have.
532
00:36:42,596 --> 00:36:44,097
I felt so loved on that day.
533
00:36:49,644 --> 00:36:51,896
I just hope
I never forget that feeling.
534
00:36:53,439 --> 00:36:58,027
You'll have this feeling again.
It's okay.
535
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:01,698
Just release.
536
00:37:09,707 --> 00:37:15,045
May the memories of our love
create a safe place
537
00:37:15,546 --> 00:37:19,382
for these beautiful flowers to grow.
538
00:37:42,989 --> 00:37:45,242
- I love you.
- I love you, too.
539
00:37:48,619 --> 00:37:50,621
- It was so beautiful.
- I'm sure it was.
540
00:37:51,457 --> 00:37:54,126
I'm so proud of you
for letting the tape play.
541
00:37:54,209 --> 00:37:56,837
But between you and JR,
I'm exhausted.
542
00:37:58,255 --> 00:38:00,257
So unless y'all paying me
by the hour, I'll be stepping
543
00:38:00,341 --> 00:38:02,926
away from my therapist duties
for the night.
544
00:38:08,766 --> 00:38:10,641
Who's that?
545
00:38:11,476 --> 00:38:12,853
- Hey.
- Oh, hey.
546
00:38:12,936 --> 00:38:15,313
Sorry to pop up like this,
we just really need to talk to you.
547
00:38:15,397 --> 00:38:16,982
Okay.
548
00:38:18,108 --> 00:38:21,027
Actually, now is probably
not a good time.
549
00:38:21,111 --> 00:38:23,529
No, it's fine.
We were just leaving.
550
00:38:23,613 --> 00:38:25,031
No, we can just
head out, it's okay.
551
00:38:25,991 --> 00:38:29,243
Now, I don't know what's happening
here, but leave it in the hallway.
552
00:38:30,286 --> 00:38:32,955
In here, we are family, got it?
553
00:38:34,917 --> 00:38:36,960
Now, if no one murdered
anyone, go wash your hands.
554
00:38:37,043 --> 00:38:39,088
Dinner isn't gonna cook
itself.
555
00:38:40,923 --> 00:38:43,008
Hello?
556
00:38:47,388 --> 00:38:49,555
- Where you going?
- I was just...
557
00:38:50,557 --> 00:38:52,350
Aren't coaches supposed to yell?
558
00:38:52,434 --> 00:38:54,936
Yeah, but look, this time
it felt different, all right?
559
00:38:55,020 --> 00:38:56,437
He came and just told me
that I suck, didn't even try
560
00:38:56,521 --> 00:39:00,066
to make me better or anything.
That's not him.
561
00:39:00,691 --> 00:39:02,528
Okay. He just wants what's
best for you.
562
00:39:03,152 --> 00:39:04,737
Sometimes that means figuring
things out for yourself.
563
00:39:05,531 --> 00:39:08,283
Yeah, but what's the explanation
for how he went off on me?
564
00:39:08,366 --> 00:39:09,992
I'm trying to tell you,
Coach is bugging.
565
00:39:10,076 --> 00:39:11,704
Are you sure you're not being
just a little dramatic?
566
00:39:12,078 --> 00:39:14,038
They're not the ones being dramatic.
567
00:39:14,373 --> 00:39:17,875
I told you to focus on baseball and
let go of this social media crap, JR!
568
00:39:18,376 --> 00:39:22,798
Now, I do not need another
Damon Sims on this team!
569
00:39:23,173 --> 00:39:26,717
You all just go ahead and eat.
I'll go check on Marcus.
570
00:39:37,645 --> 00:39:39,481
Hey, is everything okay?
571
00:39:40,065 --> 00:39:44,153
You tell me. I'm not the one sending
reporters snooping around my office.
572
00:39:45,571 --> 00:39:48,156
Marcus, I didn't intend
for anything...
573
00:39:48,240 --> 00:39:52,911
Did he have to pay you to sell me
out, or did he give that for free?
574
00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:00,294
Look, I don't know
what's going on with you, Marcus,
575
00:40:01,295 --> 00:40:04,381
but something is wrong.
Let me help you.
576
00:40:04,465 --> 00:40:07,468
No, I don't need your
damn help, okay? I never did.
577
00:40:18,769 --> 00:40:20,731
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
578
00:40:24,151 --> 00:40:27,905
God, this amount of secondhand
awkwardness cannot be healthy.
579
00:40:32,366 --> 00:40:33,993
What you doing?
580
00:40:34,077 --> 00:40:36,996
Yeah, what's with all these articles
about Willis Cobb University?
581
00:40:37,079 --> 00:40:39,458
No clue. But my homegirl
just transferred from there
582
00:40:39,540 --> 00:40:41,084
and she's pissed.
583
00:40:41,167 --> 00:40:44,837
They axed the engineering program
and cut the funding to the liberal arts.
584
00:40:44,921 --> 00:40:47,257
She's an engineering
and English double major.
585
00:40:47,758 --> 00:40:49,592
That's weird 'cause one
of my frat brothers go there,
586
00:40:49,675 --> 00:40:51,512
and he said they building
a new business school.
587
00:40:51,594 --> 00:40:53,555
He said the old building
was fine, they just got that bag
588
00:40:53,638 --> 00:40:55,806
and they gotta find a way
to spend it.
589
00:40:55,890 --> 00:40:58,017
So, wait, they're cutting funds
in two major departments
590
00:40:58,101 --> 00:41:00,061
but have enough to rebuild
something that
591
00:41:00,145 --> 00:41:01,939
doesn't need rebuilding?
592
00:41:02,940 --> 00:41:04,441
That's hella weird.
593
00:41:04,525 --> 00:41:05,859
Yes, it is.
594
00:41:08,903 --> 00:41:11,572
You all should get going.
I have some work to do.
595
00:41:23,293 --> 00:41:25,712
Ralph, I know it's late.
But I've got it. Willis Cobb
596
00:41:25,796 --> 00:41:28,214
is cutting engineering
and liberal arts,
597
00:41:28,298 --> 00:41:31,093
but Bringston is adding funding
to those programs.
598
00:41:31,175 --> 00:41:34,303
All the programs Bringston is cutting,
Willis Cobb is adding funding to,
599
00:41:34,387 --> 00:41:37,850
and vice versa. Ralph,
Bringston isn't being sold.
600
00:41:38,350 --> 00:41:41,395
It's gonna merge with this
predominantly white Institution,
601
00:41:41,478 --> 00:41:44,106
which means it won't be
Bringston anymore.
