Amara: Today, they came for us.
Their goal was to terrorize us,
to disrupt our lives and instill fear,
but I have one thing to say to them:
We shall not be moved.
[Music playing]
Yeah, I like it.
Nope. Blue top, brown bottoms.
Simone: OK, fine.
Let's focus on lunch, and do not say tuna salad.
Shade. What did tuna ever do to you?
Because it's giving lunchtime loneliness.
Ain't no kid want to trade for tuna salad.
Keisha: I would.
Damon: What's all this?
Simone: It's a vision board
for Shay's first day of preschool.
Shanelle found a beginner's preschool program.
So what, like, pre-preschool or something?
More like day care but with classes.
Yeah, Shanelle and I have been planning
the perfect first day for weeks.
I cannot wait for her to send us pictures and videos.
I know.
I think it's dope that you're working with Shay's adopted mother.
Simone: Are you regretting
your mom and birth mom meeting up on campus tomorrow?
Uh, I mean, I know it's time to clear the air with everybody,
but I can't help but feel like
this is gonna be a complete disaster.
I mean, you never know.
Keena and Celine, they might surprise you.
Look at me and Shanelle.
Ayelle: ♪ Every time I start... ♪
Stop thinking about your moms.
[Chuckles]
Well, I mean, I would if I had something else to think about.
Hmm, OK.
You mean something like this?
♪ They won't leave me alone ♪
♪ And I start to reminisce upon ♪
♪ All the ways that I've gone wrong... ♪
OK, it's getting late. I should go.
[Exhales]
Hey, what's that on your shoulder there?
What? Oh, um, I just had, like,
a bad reaction to a new skin cream.
Uh, you know, Cam is gonna be at Keisha's tonight,
so you can just stay the night if you want.
Look, we can sleep, just sleep, all right?
I appreciate that. I do.
I just--I sleep better in my own bed.
Do you, though?
I mean, since you've been back from your trip,
doesn't look like you've been sleeping well.
Are you saying I look tired?
No, you always look great. It's just--
OK, then what are you saying, Damon?
I'm saying that I'm worried, all right?
I just want to make sure that everything's good.
Yeah, aside from this conversation, everything's great.
I got to go.
J.R.: How bad you think it'll get?
[Scoffs]
No clue. That's why we meeting in a public place.
That's smart. That's real smart.
[Damon exhales]
Damon: Damn. Like, I wish my mom kind of got here first,
so we could, like, ease her into things.
Don't worry. Whenever she get here, we'll make sure she OK.
Is everything OK?
That's my mom. She said she can't make it.
Nathaniel: Keisha, I don't understand
why you won't give Nico another chance.
One--he's not good for you
and two--he got our family dinner canceled
via a Yard Yack post, so...
If you spent any time with him,
you'd see how amazing he is.
And I asked him about the post. It wasn't him.
And you believed him? Yeah, OK.
No offense, Cameron. This is a private conversation.
Not when it costs me a free meal, plus leftovers.
No, it ain't.
Ah, Simone.
Can you please tell Keisha
that she's overreacting about Nico?
No. It's giving tension,
and I don't do friend drama.
Thea: Oh. Hey, guys.
Nathaniel: Hey. Keisha: Hey.
Oh, so you don't do friend drama?
Doesn't count. She ain't my friend.
But, anyway, y'all need to figure this out.
No man is worth y'all's friendship.
Cam: As for me, if Keisha hates him,
I hate him, too.
Oh, you're a good man.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
Keisha, I'm not letting this go.
I would expect nothing less.
Good...
'cause I invited Nico to study with us.
[Telephone rings]
[Ring]
President Amara Patterson's office.
Hey, Cam, I'm headed to the budget meeting.
You're gonna need to reschedule it.
Why? Who was that on the phone?
Um, Damon, will you please
confirm to Mom that I gave you the photo album?
Even though I told her I did,
she keeps asking.
Uh, my bad. I guess I could've texted you or something.
I hope you like it.
No, actually, I thought it was dope.
Maybe you can add some photos of you and Miss Thea.
I look forward to meeting her one day.
No rush.
Wait, wait, wait. How do you know about Thea?
Oh, I saw some pictures you posted online.
So you follow me online?
No.
Celine: I mean...yes.
Jessie: My invite to the family meeting
must've gotten lost in the mail.
Celine: Jessie, please don't ruin this.
Marcus: Let's head to the meeting, Jessie.
I'm gonna get some air, all right?
Hold up, bro.
Amara: Everyone, can I have your attention, please?
Damon.
Amara, what's going on?
Please have a seat.
Student: What's going on?
OK, what is going on?
[Alarms sounding on cell phones]
Amara: The FBI and the Atlanta P.D. are
investigating a bomb threat made against us this morning.
The threat involves the area immediately surrounding
west campus, which is currently being evacuated.
Please avoid this area as the investigation continues.
For those in other areas on campus,
please, please shelter in place until further notice.
This is not a drill.
There's no longer access in or out of Bringston University.
Amara: Have you called your mother?
Yeah, I had to convince her not to hop on the next plane.
And Shanelle?
Not yet, but hopefully, she can still send me
pictures and videos of Shay's first day.
That'll help keep me distracted.
You're handling all of this well, baby girl.
It would be natural if the bomb threat stirred things up.
Auntie, I love you.
[Sighs] I love you, too.
[Knock knock]
Marcus, hey.
Hey. How can I help?
[Exhales]
I've been president all of 2 seconds.
I have no idea.
It's not your fault.
You're doing everything you can.
President Patterson, I'm Special Agent Louis Hunt.
We need to talk, privately.
Cam, please. Please, please, please, please pick up.
Pick up, pick up. Pick up. Pick up...
Cam on voicemail: Hey, this is Cam.
Do the damn thing after the beeeeep.
[Beep]
[New text chime]
Oh, hey, Simone. Sorry.
Uh, yeah.
My bad. I would stay and talk, but I got to--
People to call. Yeah, me, too.
Listen, if you got fam at East Lennox University,
call them first.
People are saying there was a bomb threat made there, too.
And if it's true, this could be a coordinated attack.
Uh, maybe you should just not say that too loudly
before we know for sure, OK?
People are scared enough.
Yeah.
Thea: I mean, I can't believe you're stuck there with Jessie and Celine.
I can't believe any of us are stuck anywhere.
Right? This is wild.
It almost doesn't feel real.
Like, how is this still happening?
All this because we're a Black school?
[Exhales]
And, also, Damon, about last night,
like, I feel like I may not have been my best self...
Whoa, whoa. Hey, hey, babe, don't apologize like
we never gonna see each other again, OK?
I mean, Damon, we may not.
Look, this is how this is gonna go.
You're gonna stay mad at me,
and I'm gonna stay confused about why.
[Chuckling] We'll talk in person.
Tonight, all right?
OK, got it. I am staying mad.
And I'm gonna stay confused.
OK. I will see you tonight.
All right. Bye.
How are you holding up?
You know, I thought the worst thing that would happen to me today
would be my mom not showing up,
even though she said that she would come and meet Celine.
We got the bomb threat, and I just...
[Chuckles]
Honestly, I don't know how I feel, Coach.
But the fear I see is not the cause of a bomb threat
or the anger of your mom not being here.
Jessie and Celine said when they gave me away, it was for the best.
But I've really thought about it,
and...
Right? That's cap. Come on, Coach.
If you were a parent, you would fight for your kids, right?
If they really loved me, if they really wanted me,
they would've made it work.
You need answers, OK?
And the people that have them are right here, Damon.
Hunt: The evacuation of west campus is complete.
We've begun a sweep to look for any explosive devices.
How can I help, Agent Hunt?
Honestly, by letting us do our job
and staying out of the way.
No one knows this campus better than I do.
Be that as it may, my previous comment stands.
Who was on the phone when the bomb threat was made?
My assistant, Cam Watkins.
After I take a look at the phone records,
I need to speak with him.
When you do, I want to be there.
That's not typically how we do things.
Be that as it may, my previous comment stands.
J.R.
Why didn't you tell me your mother was coming?
That's what you want to talk about?
We're sheltered in place because of a bomb threat.
Exactly. A threat, not an actual bomb.
You don't know that.
There could be a bomb somewhere on campus.
I need you to understand the assignment.
And I think the students seeing a coach staying calm
is the assignment.
You realize that you haven't asked me am I OK?
You have two sons in the same building with you.
It's like you really don't see me or Damon.
Shanelle.
Shanelle: Simone. Oh, my God. Are you OK?
Well, more or less, I think.
We've been praying for y'all.
The bomb threats are all over the news.
"Bomb threats"? Plural?
Yeah, another HBCU, East Lennox University.
They just confirmed it.
How's Shay?
Are you guys safe?
I mean, who knows what else could happen today?
Shay's a little fussy, but other than that, he's fine.
Want to say hi?
I would really love that.
[Shay crying]
Shanelle, what happened? Is everything OK?
[Alarm sounding]
Shanelle? Hello?
[Labored breathing]
It was the cell phone tower, the noise.
It was being shut down.
How do you know?
I can see the truck from here.
Look, the Wi-Fi's down, too.
It's probably just the FBI doing their thing, OK?
I'm good, I'm good. Thank you.
OK. Breathe in for 4 seconds,
hold your breath for 7,
and then exhale for 8 seconds, OK?
[Inhales]
[Both exhale]
[Both inhaling]
[Both exhale]
4-7-8 breathing.
You get panic attacks, too?
Got them a lot as a kid when my dad was deployed.
You were scared he wasn't gonna make it back.
Yeah.
Now the parent is worried about the child.
We were on the phone when everything went down.
I have a son--Shay.
We were on the phone when everything went down, so...
Your panic attack was about him.
[Exhales]
These coordinated bomb threats are just a reminder...
that there are spaces that Shay won't be accepted in
just because of how he looks
and there's nothing I can do about it.
For now, Shay's safe, OK?
But there is something you can do.
I see a lot of people who could use a friend
or some help.
Look, J., about Celine and Jessie, I...
um, actually, um, mental health check.
How you handling all this, bro?
You'd think I'd be used to the fear of losing my life by now.
When I was a kid, I thought
aplastic anemia had my number.
I even made a bucket list.
For real?
What was on it?
Oh, the usuals--
kiss a girl, fight a ninja.
Ninja? Ha ha!
Damn if Mom and Dad ain't try to hit every item
as if they ain't have enough to deal with.
What do you mean, what they had to deal with?
You was the one that was sick, bro.
Mm-mm. If one person in the family is that badly sick,
everyone is.
Damon, Mom and Dad argued a lot,
about my care, how to pay for it.
And the stresses of that led to...
led to Mom's affair.
Growing up, I fooled myself into thinking
that our lives were perfect,
that we were happy.
And we weren't and they weren't.
And for 18 years, you didn't know where you came from
because Mom and Dad couldn't handle two kids.
My illness hit different for all of y'all,
and I feel responsible for it.
Look, no, I know I shouldn't, but I do.
I'm working through it with my shrink.
Why did it take a bomb threat
for you to tell me all this?
Felt selfish given everything.
You can talk to me about anything.
You hear me?
Damon...
I'm scared, bro.
Yeah, man.
Me, too.
Nico: As your SGA president, I'll demand that
Dr. Patterson make our safety her priority.
First order of business,
adding police officers to campus.
Student: Yup, mm-hmm.
Nathaniel: I don't--
I don't know about that.
Bringing cops to a school full of Black students
doesn't seem like the move.
People who make bomb threats against HBCUs
are violent individuals who need to be met with strength and force.
Nathaniel: But sometimes...
the people that are supposed to have our backs
end up being our greatest threat.
Nate, I love you, but you're wrong about this, so why don't you--
Keisha: Excuse me. Nate: Keisha, it's OK.
No. no. For the record, Nate knows exactly what she's talking about.
She's stood up to more cops on this campus
that tried to shut down our right to protest
than anyone else in this building.
That's funny. So the former president's daughter,
who lives in a big house, knows about struggle.
Keisha: OK, well, at least I'm not an insecure man
who feels the need to silence other people
to make himself feel better.
No. I'm the guy trying to get things done for this student body.
Well, then maybe you should do less talking
and more listening because it's clear you're only about yourself.
I would argue that's your issue.
Nate, I hope you're seeing this.
Simone: Excuse me, everyone. Can I please have your attention?
A lot of you may not know me, but my name is Simone Hicks.
And as uncertain and scary as today is,
we have to be here for each other.
We should really talk about what's happening.
It might do us some good.
What did the caller say exactly?
Agent Hunt, what are you doing?
I mentioned I'd need to speak to Cam Watkins
since he's the one answered the call.
And I said I wanted to be there when you did.
Mr. Watkins, what did the caller say exactly?
That he hid explosives in the west campus,
and he chose Bringston because...
there are too many Black students here.
Thea: Well, being a majority Black school makes us a target.
So does being the only Black speck at a PWI.
We should get to have our own space, right?
That's naive.
We all know that when we come together,
excellence happens, and that threatens them.
-Exactly. -Right, right.
We put ourselves in the line of fire.
You're playing their game.
Whenever we get terrorized, they always find a way to flip it and blame us.
Hunt: Mr. Watkins, your memory of the call's impressive.
Most people in your situation
wouldn't be able to remember so thoroughly.
Look, man, if you got something to say, just say it.
Your responses seem rehearsed.
Was this call real, or is this a prank?
Maybe you heard about the threat at East Lennox and wanted--
Man. I ain't got to do--
Uh-uh.
Cam Watkins is
one of the most upstanding students on campus.
If he says the call happened, it did.
This isn't a prank. It's a pattern.
How do you not see that?
The 16th Street Baptist Church bombing,
the Tulsa Race Massacre,
the Charleston church shooting.
Guys, we have a long history of attacks against us.
Exactly. This isn't new, which is why I'm
shrugging off this bomb threat.
It's just another instance of fill in the blank while being Black.
Well, it's really sad that you're desensitized
to your own trauma.
Maybe this is how I'm strong and resilient.
Lando: The problem with being told
to stay strong and persevere is
that it invalidates our human emotions.
But our society constantly validates
people who commit violence against people of color
when more needs to be done to protect Black students.
Cam.
Tootie: Yeah, and maybe this whole discussion thing
was a really bad idea, Simone.
[Indistinct conversations]
Amara: Your line of questioning
was out of line.
Cam is a victim.
Trust me.
Cam Watkins doing this as a prank
would have been preferable.
To what exactly?
The other threat, at East Lennox University.
My colleagues just radioed in.
They found a device.
They were able to defuse it a few minutes ago.
So if the Bringston bomb threat isn't a prank
and is part of a pattern--
There's a good chance a device
really is somewhere at Bringston.
Yo, hey, we saw the FBI interrogating you.
What--what's up?
[Scoffs]
How long it take 'em?
Five minutes.
I went from a victim to a suspect in 5 minutes
just sitting in a damn chair.
J.R.: That's messed up.
The whole situation is trash, bro.
Man, Bringston's supposed to be different than the rest of the world.
Supposed to be safe.
It's like they want us to know we ain't safe nowhere.
And an education? [Scoffs]
Forget about that.
Hey, bro, today doesn't change what Bringston is.
For us, by us.
Those are dope words and all,
but the truth is, they gonna always find a way
to tear us down.
Hey! Where the hell are you going?
None of your business.
Fine. I hope wherever you're going is worth risking your life.
I'm going to find Damon, OK?
[Sniffles]
God. I can't believe this. It happened.
I have become the woman willing to do anything for a guy.
No. You sound like a woman
who's willing to do whatever for the man that they love.
I mean, if it'll help, I've done
something out of love that I'd later regret.
To take my mind off of worrying about Shay,
I basically tried to mother everyone else.
Yeah. It feels really weird loving someone so much
that I wasn't even thinking of the harm to myself.
I just...
hope I get the chance to tell him.
And you will.
You have to hold on to that belief that we'll make it out.
We all do.
Hey, since we're having this nice moment,
I need you to do something for me.
OK. I messed up.
I was wrong earlier.
Talking is not what we should be doing.
And sitting around, waiting for our world to end ain't it either.
Simone: And I don't know about y'all, but I want to fight back.
I want to hit something, feel alive.
Hence, dodgeball.
Thea: They're used for tennis drills, but they'll get the job done.
Tootie: So your plan is for us to run around here,
hitting each other with tennis balls?
Tootie, I'm not the only one with pent-up energy.
You're not. I'm in. Lando's in.
You know what? Whatever. Let's do it.
All right.
Student: All right, all right.
Student 2: Whoo! Let's go.
Get the answer to your question?
Uh, yeah,
but I know what I want, Coach,
but what if it blows up in my face?
I don't know the words for this.
You'll find them. I have no doubt.
But don't let anything that should be said
go unsaid, OK?
Keisha: Seriously? We're in the middle of a bomb threat
and your partner is missing.
Why aren't you worried?
Because I'm positive that Nate is somewhere safe
and she'll come back when she's ready.
She gets like this. She just needs a minute.
Wow. You really are trash.
Am I? Or is it the fact that I know Nate better than you
and that is what's really bothering you?
No. What really scares me is that Nate
won't see you for who you actually are,
and that one day, when she really needs you,
you won't be there.
Let's just hope that day isn't today.
[Knock on door]
Hey.
[Door shuts]
They found a device at the other HBCU
that was threatened today.
OK. All right. It's just us.
Let it out.
Mm-mm. I'm the president.
I have to focus on our kids.
Who is focused on Amara Patterson?
Because the last time I checked,
the president doesn't exist without her.
If you want to help me, go check on our kids.
That's what I need.
Look, I told Damon not to let things that should be said
go unsaid.
If this is the end of the road,
I just want you to know that I love you, Amara Patterson.
I am grateful to you
for everything.
[Door opens and shuts]
When you gave me up, you said it was for the best.
And, look, I'm not gonna lie. I thought it was an excuse,
that y'all didn't want me to mess up
your perfect little family.
Now I know that your lives weren't perfect. They were far from it,
and what you actually gave me was...
was a gift.
I had an amazing life with my adoptive parents,
a life I might not have had had you not given me up.
So I don't know what a relationship with you looks like, but...
I want to find out.
[Sniffles]
It means a lot, you giving us a second chance.
Yeah. Um, what I said was for Celine,
not you.
I know I have more to atone for.
I pushed her to give you up out of my own selfishness,
but I apologized for that.
Don't shut me out because of my past mistakes.
I don't have to look at the past, Jessie.
Come on. After you found out that I was your son,
you didn't hit me up, not once.
Did you really try to get to know me outside of baseball,
but yet you're sitting here, asking me for my forgiveness?
That's just something that I don't give away, man.
You got to earn it.

[Cheering and applause]
Simone, I got to tell you something.
-Mm-hmm? -You're at a disadvantage.
Really? How so?
As a pitcher, my speed and accuracy are on point,
and I'm gonna tag you.
OK. Well, as a tennis player,
my speed and my ability is gonna make it hard for you to hit me.
Plus, I got a little secret weapon.

[Simone laughing]
Are you OK?
Uh, yeah, I'm good. I'm good.
You're impressive.
Well, you didn't think I had that arm, did you?
Actually, I was talking about this.
You tabled your fear and worry for your son
and helped everybody else.
That's impressive.
Well, I did have a little help.
[Chuckles]
[Cell phones ringing]
[Cell phones chiming]
Lando: I guess the cell service is back.
I can call Shay.
Uh, OK. Where is my phone?
Uh, here. Use mine.
What? There's no one you want to call?
It can wait. Talk to your son.
J.R.: I got to say,
how you handled Mom and Dad,
I'm proud of you.
Yeah, well, don't be proud yet.
I still got one parent I haven't figured out.
[Sighs]
I don't know what to do with my anger that I have towards my dad.
You got to release it.
Get on that train of forgiveness with him, too.
He lied to me and my mom for years, bro.
Like, how do I forgive a man who can't answer for what he's done
because he doesn't remember what he did?
It's not always about him being able to answer.
I mean, in therapy, I had a lot of conversations
with my dad of where he wasn't present.
Really?
It sounds crazy, but it helped.
Having the other person there sometimes
just gets in the way of letting the pain out.
Yeah, I don't know, J.
You know, that's not really me.
I got to hear dude's voice, you know?
Then call him. 'Cause given his condition,
he's not gonna be present for the conversation either.
Nate, are you in there?
No.
Nathaniel Hardin, let me in, please.
Why did you run off?
I was really, really worried about you.
You know... [Inhales]
you and Nico arguing
sound like a married couple when they're getting a divorce.
Not like a married couple getting divorced...
your parents.
Nate, I'm so sorry that I did something
that could trigger you that much.
And with the bomb threats,
I felt like my life was imploding.
I'll be OK. I just...
I need a little me time,
and then I will come out when I'm ready, OK?
Nico was right.
I'm guessing you chewed him out.
I may have said a few words.
He's a good guy, Keisha.
I know that he's rough around the edges,
but the part in the middle is good.
[Inhales and exhales]
Uh, hey, Natalie, it's Damon.
Uh, yeah, I'm good.
Um, how's my dad doing today?
You think he'd be up to talking?
Uh, cool, yeah. Um, no worries.
I'll call him later.
Damon.
Look, now is not really a good time.
What you said, I heard you.
J.R. said you like the diner on Lennox.
I'm gonna be there every Wednesday night, 7 p.m.
I'll keep showing up until you're ready.
[Knock on door]
I've got good news.
We didn't find a device on campus.
You have the all-clear.
Oh, thank God.
[Exhales sharply]
But you did find something somewhere, didn't you?
We found a suspect, a known local radical.
He had two devices.
He was literally two blocks away, Dr. Patterson.
Whenever you're ready, Dr. P.
OK.
Today, they came for us.
Their goal was to terrorize us,
to disrupt our lives and instill fear,
but I have one thing to say to them:
We shall not be moved.
Caly Bevier: ♪ Racing empty boulevards ♪
♪ There I go ♪
♪ Tryin' to make this life an art... ♪
Amara: When you come for us, we band together as a family.
Bevier: ♪ Not afraid to look back ♪
♪ But I don't gotta look back... ♪
Amara: And once the crisis is gone,
though we may go back to our regular lives,
we are not unchanged.
We're stronger, even if we don't know how.
Bevier: ♪ All I know is with my head held high ♪
I know today must have brought back a lot of memories
from when you were sick.
It did. But, for real, I'm good.
Well, I brought something for you.
-Hmm? -Mm-hmm.
Whoa.
[Chuckles]
This--it's my bucket list.
I found it when I was moving into my new place.
I was gonna give it to you before...
everything happened.
Really? Why?
Because sometimes, especially on a day like today,
we need reminders of what we want out of our lives.
[Chuckles]
Ma, this was written by an 8 year old.
I doubt there's anything left on here worth fighting for.
Read it.
"Make it to the MLB."
Wow. Mom, when I wrote this list,
the miracle was I had just enough energy
to swing a bat occasionally.
Maybe it's time you start believing in miracles again
and pursue your dream.
Amara: When you seek to tell us
what we can and can't have...
I love you, Ma.
Amara: that's when we dream big
and realize that the sky is nowhere close to our limit.
Simone: Hey, y'all.
Looks like we made it, huh?
Ohh.
Yes. And we are stronger because of it.
Simone: OK. What you got going on today?
We like Nico now?
Girl, that would be a no.
If anything, I'm more sure now than ever that he's got to go.
She's not like her full, vibrant self with him.
Eventually, it's gonna blow up in her face,
so I'm just sticking close.
I love you.
Love you, too.
Hey.
Are you good?
Yeah.
Uh, did you get my text?
Probably.
I have so many unread messages today.
Yeah, it's all good. Heh!
Look, I probably should head to my room.
Thea's gonna be there soon.
Says she's got something important to tell me, so...
Then you should get going.
Right. Um, I'll see you later.

You need anything else, Dr. P.?
No. I'm good, Cam. Thank you.
All right.
Um...
Thanks for having my back today.
You sure you don't need nothing else?

you will fail
because we are learning we don't have to fear
the things we feel.

Today reminded me
not to let anything that should be said go unsaid.
And so...
I wanted to say I love you, Thea.
And I understand if you can't say it back yet. It's just--
I love you, too.
And about last night, Damon, you were right.
I haven't been handling my recovery as well as I thought I--
Hey, it's OK.
All right. Peaks and valleys.
I'm down for whatever.
You know why?
'Cause you love me.
Because I love you.
Amara: There is no power on Earth
that can conquer Black love.
Y'all gonna learn that the hard way.

Hey. What are you doing here?
You still have my phone.
Oh. Right. Um, sorry.
I was gonna get that to you later, eventually.
And I wanted to check on you.
Uh, yeah. Today was a hard day.
Yeah.
Uh, you want to go somewhere?
Amara: And when we come out the other side
of the attack you thought would take us out,
we'll find something new
that may be just what we need.
No.
