All American (2018) s08e02 Episode Script

1
If we're serious about this showcase,
we got to start putting
out invites today.
Agreed. OK.
The coaches will already be in town
for the awards show,
but we gotta get them
to stay for the main event
Beverly versus Crenshaw
Championship Showcase
at South Crenshaw High.
Beverly High, you mean.
Seriously?
KOVAS: Never the
twos, you better run ♪
You better run ♪
Got nothing to lose ♪
Whatcha going do now? ♪
I Brought the whole crew out ♪
Show you them tools now ♪
Boom, boom, boom, boom ♪
Yeah, you know we're too wild ♪
This whole thing was my idea.
Mm-hmm. And the Chargers happen to be
state champions at the
championship showcase.
KOVAS: Roll up, we in it, squad up ♪
Great, great, Roll up, we in it ♪
Excuse me.
They can't wait, wait ♪
Roll up, we in it ♪
Squad up, great, great ♪
Roll up, we in it ♪
They can't wait, wait ♪
Got no competition ♪
Cover two, safety drops, slot fades.
What's your next move?
Check down, drag out, or go deep post,
depending on linebacker shade.
- OK. Let's go. 1-1-2.
- Come on.
South Crenshaw doesn't
have the infrastructure.
[STRAINING] Between Billy Baker field
and what Spencer did
to that weight room,
it is so much better than Beverly.
- It is toss-up at best.
- Ugh!
And your parking
situation is a disaster.
Parking? Parking?
KOVAS: Great, great, roll
up, we in it, they can't ♪
That's time.
Aah!
I never thought I'd
be the one saying this,
but pace yourself, man.
Ain't no time for that now
that Stanford fell through.
OK, so that's what this is about.
You were right about
things changing on a dime.
Now, neither of us has offers.
This showcase is it for us.
If it actually happens.
No. When it happens.
I have faith in my pops and JB.
Run it back. Let's work.
KOVAS: Too much
unleaded, pretty pathetic ♪
Keep it a hun, keep it a brick ♪
You ain't legit, I'm on it like Bun ♪
Underground King, been on some shhh ♪
Mentalist, keeping this vision clear ♪
This is not a decision
that we can wait on, right?
If we're calling coaches today,
we need to tell them where to go.
Damn. Lock your core, old man.
Unh! Man, shut up.
I know how to do pull-ups, all right?
All right.
Aah! Come on, come on, come on!
[TREADMILL BEEPING]
Let's go!
We so ready, we so
ready, we so ready ♪
[GASPS]
JORDAN: Hmm. 12.
Done ♪
- All right, man. You win.
- Hmm.
Showcase goes to South Crenshaw.
- Wait. Seriously?
- Don't get cocky, all right?
Truth is I need you
more than you need me.
You get the go-ahead from Coach Bobby,
we can start making
calls this afternoon, huh?
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. OK. All right. Copy you.
I, uh I'll talk to
him as soon as he gets in.
Oh, you real obnoxious
when you get your own way,
- you know that?
- Please. You're just mad
you didn't finish that pull-up set
old man.
[WATER RUNNING]
Ohh.
Hey. My bad. I didn't mean to wake you.
Oh. No worries.
I'm just catching up on sleep
- Nice.
- but I'm already dreaming
about our beachside
breakfast date today.
Or not.
It's just it it's this showcase.
I gotta go talk to Coach Bobby,
get his sign-off on using the facilities
so we can start sending out invites.
So no breakfast?
How about lunch? Right?
Lunch is just brunch
with commitment. Heh.
- Lunch it is.
- Cool.
So, um, things are
going well with Cassius?
Uh, yeah. Yeah.
I was a little wary of taking things
beyond the basketball court, but
Sorry, and when did that happen again?
Because yesterday at Smash 'N Crash
you were, like, dead set against it.
Um, after my talk with Khalil
and after I had a little bit
of quiet time to just think.
You had already left for the
club, though, so it was
Got it.
So you were saying that you and
you and Cassius are gonna figure out
this whole showcase thing?
Yeah. It's, uh it's
been fun, you know?
Uh, you know, we're
talking about lining up
scouts, coaches, media.
- This could be a game changer
- [CELL PHONE CHIMES]
for South Crenshaw.
It's, uh I'm sorry.
This is Coach Bobby.
- I gotta run, so, um
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah. Go ahead. Good luck. Mm-hmm.
Yep.
Welcome home.
[KEY READER BEEPS]
KJ: Yo, yo.
Yo, you want some of this?
KJ: Uh, yeah, sure.
I'll grab some after I shower.
Yeah. You and Khalil
got a good workout in?
- Khalil?
- Yeah.
Down at South Crenshaw.
Look, Jordan knows who's in and out
of those facilities, you know?
OK, look, I know we're
rivals and all that,
but, look, we've really
been pushing each other,
- and it's been
- Hold on.
Look. I agree. Actually, I'm
I'm glad it's not just
you alone in there anymore.
You're leaning on others.
That's growth.
Yeah. Wow.
I guess we don't have to worry
about keeping it a secret anymore.
Ooh. I would not make
that public knowledge.
You know, some of your
teammates may not like the idea.
Me? I think iron sharpens iron,
and I need you as sharp as it gets
for this championship showcase.
I will be.
BOBBY: So this is a combine?
Yes, but bigger, right?
By bringing in Beverly, we can we can
make it more of a showcase.
We market that rivalry front and center.
That's gonna get us
scouts and media, right,
and then as for coaches,
they're already gonna be
in town for the U.S.
Sports Honors Awards,
so it's an easy sell.
Now I don't know about that, Jordan.
What's not to know?
Look, I know that you
still have a soft spot
for your old school, but this rivalry
between Beverly and
South Crenshaw runs deep.
Now you sure you ain't just doing
your alma mater a favor?
This is not about Beverly.
This is about Khalil and every other
South Crenshaw kid that is
flying under the radar, Coach.
Look. They put their
hearts and their bodies
on the line on that field for us.
Least we can do is
give them an opportunity
to be seen, to make
it to the next level.
Wait. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
We bring scouts in every
year during the season.
How it's always been done.
Yes, but the game has
changed, Coach, all right?
NIL now allows for kids
to be recruited by agents
and boosters year round,
not just high school either.
College, too.
Look. It used to be that
that teams could wait
on high school talent, and
now coaches can just grab
a transfer from a different D1 program.
I get how recruiting
works these days, Jordan.
Then you get that that's fewer chances
and smaller windows
for our boys to be seen,
let alone earn a scholarship.
Look. Coach, college
recruitment has become
a whole new beast overnight.
If we don't adapt, then
we are failing our players.
I don't want that,
and I know you don't want that either.
No, I don't.
Now, I've been doing this long enough
to feel the ground shifting, but
I can't approve this as
a school-sanctioned event.
What? Why not?
I can't pair with a competitor,
but if you want to do
something that helps out
our boys, that's a different story.
What do you mean? That's
what I'm trying to do.
You just said I can't do that.
Listen, Baker, listen. I said I can't,
but someone else
So it can't be official.
Not on paper
and definitely not
here at South Crenshaw.
I mean, they're redoing
the parking lots.
- Parking? Seriously?
- Yeah. It's a disaster.
- I've heard.
- The point is
if this championship showcase thing
is gonna happen,
it's got to happen somewhere else.
Then we make it happen at Beverly.
Nope. Nope. Didn't hear that. Nope.
Not gonna lie. Things
are on fire right now.
I got my Jefferson and
Rimmer interview this week.
That's that Black-owned law firm
Breonna hooked you up with?
It is. They're amazing
and one of the best in the country.
I got my resume locked.
I've been running mock
interviews with Breonna,
and I even memorized
case law from, like,
10 years ago.
- Overachiever.
- Just prepared.
Plus, it's tort law.
Like, that's my lane.
- What?
- Nothing. Um, it's just
you were still figuring
it out before I left,
and even Breonna thought you'd, like,
specialize in something else.
OK. Well, she didn't pressure
me into it or anything.
I didn't think that she did.
Plus, it's I'm really good at it.
I mean, I tried a lot of things,
but torts stuck.
Yeah. Um, if you're happy, I'm happy.
I am.
Great.
Um, so does this interview
have anything to do
with the event that the, uh,
lounge is hosting tonight?
Oh, no. That's just a
thing Breonna's doing.
I mean, there's a lot
of dope Black women
in this industry, and she just wanted
to bring together the best of the best.
- Oh. Like you.
- Actually, it'll be
my first time going,
and if I'm being honest,
I'm a little nervous.
I mean, real lawyers
killing it in courtrooms,
owning boardrooms.
I just don't want to look
like some student pretending.
Coop, you're the real deal, OK?
You belong in that room.
[DOOR LOCK CLICKS]
- COOP: Amina?
- AMINA: Oh, my God!
Y'all scared me. What
are you doing here?
COOP: I live here.
What are you doing here?
Shouldn't you be at Dinsberg?
AMINA: Well, yeah. I decided
to come home for dead week.
Dead what?
It's the week before finals.
We don't have any classes,
so we can focus on studying.
What is this? Some bougie
private school thing?
Beverly we only got,
like, a couple days, so
Are you really gonna call
me bougie, Auntie Layla?
She got a point.
OK. I am just happy that my
favorite fancy teen is back
so I can see her before
I go back on tour.
Yes. Her and all of
her earthly belongings.
How nice.
Uh, it looks like everything
you took up there with you.
Hey, school laundry costs money.
Home spin cycle? Free 99!
OK, I gotta meet a friend,
so I'll catch y'all later.
Hmm.
KHALIL: Hey, what's up, Coach?
Hey. Aren't you supposed to be in class?
You don't recognize Mrs.
Brinkman's humiliating hall pass?
Heh heh heh. Fair enough.
Listen. Um, while I
got you here, I saw you
and KJ slipping in the
gym, early this morning.
Am I in trouble?
I'm just taking a page
out of your book, you know,
partnering with the enemy.
No, you are not in trouble, OK,
and they are not the enemy.
They are friendly ish rivals.
OK, but this showcase is
happening, though, right?
Yeah. Cassius and I are
still working on it. Yeah.
Um, Crenshaw is a no,
but I'm heading over
to Beverly right now to talk
to my old principal, so
What makes you think he'll say yes?
Well, he's always liked me, you know?
Honestly, don't even worry about it, OK?
I am going to make this happen.
- All right.
- Cool.
- Hey, coach.
- Hmm?
Look, I'm sure you got
a handle on everything,
but have you ever heard the saying
"Better to ask forgiveness
than permission"?
I don't know. Just a thought.
Hmm.
[TYPING]
Hey there.
You're back.
We're not open for business yet.
So I guess you know who I am now.
I do, Tash.
What I don't know is
why you keep coming back.
I don't want to cause drama.
Just
Look. I know I messed up.
I was 16 when I gave birth to Khalil.
I could barely take care of myself,
let alone a child, so I left,
made the kind of mistake
you don't get to take back.
I don't want to erase the past.
I just thought maybe
Khalil would want to
get to know me.
At least meet me halfway.
He doesn't owe me anything
but if there's anything
you can do to help,
I would be grateful.
I know he listens to you.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
KJ: Yo, what's up, bro?
Hey. What's up?
KJ.
Amina?
TORI: Well, this is a surprise.
- Tori, hey.
- Hey.
KJ didn't tell me you were back in town.
Yeah, it was kind of
a last-minute thing.
It's it's dead week at Dinsberg,
which is when we don't have any classes,
so we can focus on studying for finals.
I was just stopping by
on my way to The Hangout.
Got a lot of studying to do,
which is why I came home.
Studying.
Well, since you're back in town, um,
maybe we'll see you later.
You can take a break
from your studying.
What's that about?
Uh, I'm not too sure.
We're doing the showcase at Beverly.
You mean South Crenshaw.
Nope. Got approval for the showcase
but not the facilities.
It's got to be here.
OK. Yeah, I'll talk to London.
Nope. Wrong again.
OK. We are going to ask for forgiveness,
not permission.
That's a little bit of
street wisdom for you.
No, that's a pretty common saying,
but I'm not gonna lie.
I like where your head's at with this.
It's a lot harder to stop a train
once it's already moving.
So we're gonna just
start calling coaches,
media, and all that.
If there's any blowback from London,
we deal with it then.
OK, but London isn't your boss.
No.
He's yours, but I can already tell
you're into it.
- All right. Let's do this.
- That's the energy.
We can start calling coaches right now.
I mean, I got contacts from
My dad has more contacts
than both of us combined.
Heh. Fair enough.
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Check it out.
Well, easy there. I
think that, you know,
hearing from his son might
have a little bit more pull.
Coach Henry, Cassius Jeremy,
head coach down at Beverly High.
You got your own cards.
May the best man bring the most coaches.
You're on.
We got a thing going on.
CASSIUS: We are talking
the best of the best
Southern California has to offer, Coach.
You won't want to miss out.
Two-nil, Baker. Try to keep up!
JORDAN: Great. OK. Yes. You
know, my dad always did say
you had one of the best eyes for talent.
We'll see you there.
Uh-huh. That's 4 in a
row. Where are you at?
Yes, ma'am. No, no, I hadn't heard.
JORDAN: Yes. Uh, so you're
gonna exit Sunset, turn left.
I am very sorry for your loss.
SINGER: Real good,
good, no doubt about it ♪
You know, if you just put the address
in your phone, it could
Oh, of course, this is much easier.
SINGER: Real good,
good, no doubt about it ♪
Can't hate it, gotta love it ♪
JORDAN: That sounds great.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES]
OK. Damn it!
No. No, no, no. Sorry.
Not for you. Heh heh heh.
Uh, we will see you this weekend, Coach.
Sounds good.
SINGER: Nothing
better, yeah, I want it ♪
Nothing better, yeah, I want it ♪
Nothing better, yeah, I want it ♪
I see it, I want it, I get it ♪
[CELL PHONE CHIMES]
Hey, I didn't think I'd catch you here.
Oh, I was just checking
out some game tape
on my lunch period.
Oh, yeah. Jordan mentioned how hard
you've been training for the showcase.
Uh, hey, I'm not sure
I've told you how much
I appreciated you keeping
in touch while I was away
with, you know, all the
texts and memes and playlists.
You know, somebody gotta keep you young.
Really? You're gonna go there?
Heh. Just kidding.
Um, you mentioned your
mom popping back up,
and, you know, things
didn't really go so well,
but we never really talked
about exactly what went wrong.
She talked to you, didn't she?
What makes you say that?
Because she presents really
well when she wants to.
Got to me for a minute.
Now I see she's got you.
She stopped by the lounge.
I didn't know who she was at first.
That's her favorite move.
Shows up all shiny and put together,
says all the right things.
I already gave her another chance.
At least I tried to.
Khalil, I'm not trying to pry, OK,
and I know that it is not
the same for you and me,
but as someone who
lost her mother young,
I I know how immense
that void can feel,
so even if there's at least something
- still there
- There's not.
And you're right.
It's not the same for you and me.
- I'll let you get back to it.
- OK.
TORI: I mean, if they're already
inviting coaches, it sounds like
this showcase is happening.
Yo, keep your voice down, OK?
Apparently, they haven't gotten
the complete sign-off yet, but
it is trending in the right way.
Well, good for you.
You know, I wonder
if London will be cool
with you guys taking
a week off to prepare.
Call it, I don't know, dead week.
OK. I'll stop, I promise.
It's just Amina shows up out of nowhere?
Mid-semester study break?
I mean, that's not weird to you?
Uh, babe, I I don't know,
and plus, don't act
like these private PWIs
around here don't give their students
mad days off for no reason.
- OK.
- Yeah.
I'll see you.
JEAN ROOT: Can we go, can we go ♪
To a place where we'd be ♪
Letting go ♪
You, uh, still thinking
about ordering any food,
or are you good with the one iced tea?
No, I'm fine, thank you.
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]
- Hey, Auntie.
- COOP: Hey.
I'm grabbing a bite at Layla's
before the event kicks off.
Was seeing if you wanted
to stop by, catch up.
I wish I could, but I
am slammed with studying.
- Finals, you know.
- Are you sure?
I mean, it could be good
to get out for a bit.
Maybe later, OK? Thanks, though.
OK. All right. Well,
I'll talk to you later.
ROOT: I'm a sucker for self-blaming ♪
I'm looking for a place to hide ♪
OK.
What's up?
- Hey.
- Oh, you is fancy.
You going all out, ain't you?
Well, it's a big night.
I wanted something a little more
upscale than our typical trim.
- Amazon for the win.
- OK.
Is Amina coming?
Nah. She is too busy studying.
- Hmm.
- Did she seem off to you at all?
Yeah, a bit, but, I mean, to be fair,
everyone feels off to me
since I got back from tour,
so take it with a grain of jet lag.
Everyone, huh? That include me?
Yeah. Um, it's not
necessarily a bad thing.
I think I'm just getting
used to you and Breonna
being this big law super-couple.
What? You don't buy it?
I mean, it was you pushing me
to be honest that there
was something there,
even when I was her student.
Never mind. Um, I think it has way more
to do with me being
off than anyone else,
and plus being canceled
on twice in one day
has me not in the greatest of moods,
so just forget I said anything.
Hey, you were just telling me how
prepared you felt for this moment.
Own it, OK? You and Breonna both.
Yeah. All right.
JORDAN: Yes. Of course, Coach. Heh.
I'd be happy to sign an
autograph for your son.
We'll see you this weekend. OK.
Hmm, hmm, hmm.
What's this I'm hearing about some sort
of championship showcase
at my school this weekend?
Ahem. Look, uh, I'm sorry
we didn't come to you sooner,
but we just wanted to make sure that
we could pull this off, and we can.
Look with Beverly and South Crenshaw
teaming up, we can bring
in top-tier coaches,
scouts, media.
We're talking SEC, Big Ten,
like, real exposure for these kids.
JORDAN: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
And it's all going to happen
right here at Beverly High.
Picture this, London, OK?
Packed bleachers, camera crews,
Chargers and Eagles facing off
head to head individually in
strength, speed, agility tests,
athletic prowess on full display,
and then we wrap it
all up in the ultimate
7-on-7 championship rematch.
I mean, imagine the
headlines, the press,
the viral clips, the
hashtag BeverlyEaglesSoar.
Your boosters are gonna be on cloud 9.
It's a win for everyone.
How many programs said yes?
28, and we just started this morning.
And that is not counting the media.
You got Beverly.
Yeah!
Yes!
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
KHALIL: Hey. What's up?
- MIRANDA: How are you doing?
- KHALIL: I'm good. How are you doing?
I'm good.
Hey, Amina.
Oh, my God. Khalil. Hey.
You're Amina?
Yeah. Who are you?
I'm Miranda.
Yeah. We're, um
we've been hanging out.
AMINA: Cool. Well, nice
to meet you, Miranda.
I was I was actually just leaving,
so I'll see you around.
Wait. H-h-how are you in town?
I thought you were up north.
TORI: Amina, you're
still here after all.
Actually, I was I was gonna head out.
No. Stay. Right, KJ?
Oh, no, no, no.
I don't want to mess up your date.
It's not a date. It'll be fun. Come on.
KJ: Yeah. I mean, we
were just gonna catch up
with Khalil and Miranda anyways.
MIRANDA: Yeah. I mean, my
shift is pretty much over,
so I'll grab us some menus, OK?
TORI: Grab a chair.
SINGER: Gotta keep going ♪
Faster, faster, faster, faster, fast ♪
So, uh, did you meet Miranda?
She's awesome. You're gonna love her.
Yeah, yeah. Miranda
kept me hydrated all day.
TORI: While you were studying?
MIRANDA: Yeah. 4 iced teas
and a whole lot of checking
your phone is my favorite
study technique, too.
AMINA: No, I was.
Most of my notes are on my phone,
- so I was studying.
- MIRANDA: OK.
KHALIL: So, uh, how's Dinsberg?
- AMINA: Great.
- KHALIL: Nice.
How's everything here?
Uh, good. Yeah.
Yeah. Good.
Good.
PERFECT TIME: 'Cause
it'll be alright ♪
It'll be alright, girl ♪
Yeah, it'll be alright ♪

BREONNA: It's a good turnout, babe.
- COOP: Yeah. It's nice.
- BREONNA: Yeah.
Oh, babe, so Giselle
Johnson and Hodges
- COOP: Yeah.
- BREONNA: She likes her kids
almost as much as she
likes to party, so
OK?
Here you go.
- Got it.
- Giselle, this is Coop.
How are you?
Oh. So nice to meet you.
Sorry. I had to check in on my twins.
Ooh. Twins? You must be a superhero.
Actually, I'm taking the night off
and letting my husband be the hero.
Over-under who has a meltdown first,
the husband or the twins?
Oh, no. For sure, the husband.
[LAUGHTER]
Tonight, that's not my problem, though.
Well, let me help you with that.
- Oh!
- I see you getting low.
Oh. Thank you. Don't mind if I do.
Now, look who's a superhero.
And I will drink to that. Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
JORDAN: Cassius and
I were on fire today.
I mean, the way Principal
London came around.
- I mean, it it's happening.
- That's great.
This showcase is gonna be epic.
That's great, babe.
Oh, and get this, right?
I mean, I found my dad's old Rolodex.
We were calling up coaches that he knew
from way back in the day.
Mm-hmm. Sounds like a big day.
Yeah. I was racking
up coaches on my side
of the board like bing bing bing.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Oh, this is Cassius. I gotta take this.
Can you watch that for me?
Thank you. Hey!
KJ: My dad said that so
far most of the big programs
they're gonna be sending
at least one scout.
I mean, this showcase is
going to be a big deal for us.
Yeah, it's just dope
it's actually happening.
MIRANDA: Yeah, I bet, especially now
that Stanford fell through.
Look. I'm sorry about that, K.
KHALIL: It's all good.
KJ: I mean, it's all right
'cause we gonna show out this weekend.
Pbb! I'm already knowing.
Uh, I'mma get some refills.
Amina, you wanna
TORI: Let her chill, babe. I got it.
KJ: OK.
- KHALIL: Appreciate you, bro.
- KJ: Got you.
Um, so what happened with Stanford?
Uh, it just fell through.
Right, but how exactly?
I'm just trying to focus on what's next.
It's hard not to feel
like I'm already behind.
You won the championship, Khalil.
I mean, you balled out.
That doesn't just go away.
It's only 4 games,
and maybe it just doesn't go away,
but my highlight tape is
shorter than a YouTube ad.
Look, K. Stanford was
a long shot anyway,
but sounds like there's
gonna be tons of schools
at the showcase,
so you can just put out some more tape.
You'll catch someone's
eye, even if it's a JUCO.
Long shot? You make
it sound like he should
just accept a fallback plan.
There's more than one route to success.
Doesn't mean it's the wrong one.
Yeah, sure. It just feels
a little premature to
completely change direction, no?
All right. Refills for everyone.
KJ: Here you go.
Thank you.
Um, so, is anybody
up for a game of pool?
Yeah, let's go.
[HUSHED] Thank God.
Girls versus boys?
KJ: I mean, unless
Amina wants to join us.
No, she wants to be on
the winning team, right?
COOP: Have a good one. Good night.
- The one in the blue Audrey
- Mm-hmm?
she's big into community work,
especially the legal
aid for at-risk youth,
and she's a named partner
at Jefferson and Rimmer.
As in
As in founding partner of the firm
you're gonna be interning at soon, yes.
AUDREY: Breonna, when were
you going to introduce us?
Audrey Jefferson.
I'm Tamia Cooper,
a future intern at your law firm.
Oh, I like a woman who
knows what she wants.
You're off to a great start.
So what's the deal with Miranda?
- What do you mean?
- I don't know.
Like, where she goes
to school, you know.
Actually, she's in college.
Freshman at SoCal State.
She couldn't find a freshman to date?
They're almost the same age
and actually pretty great together
if you want to know the truth.
Plus, um, she's become
a really good friend.
You play, right?
We got a winning streak going.
Yeah, yeah. I've played before.

COOP: The moment I read
about J&R's wrongful eviction case
in South L.A., I was all in.
I mean, that's the type
of law that changes lives.
Not many law students
would bring up tort reform
and tenant rights in the same breath.
I mean, it's all connected, right?
I mean, who who gets protected?
Who's held responsible?
Well, with all of the money
you're going to make, Miss Cooper,
it wouldn't feel right
without giving just a little back.
Oh. Let me get you a fresh glass.
Oh, thank you.

It really is. I mean, Caz still has
a few coaches left to call, but, I mean,
they all said it's gonna be at least
Jordan, I'm sorry. Um
can can we talk about something else?
Of course. Yeah. Um, like what?
I don't know. Uh, like Coop.
You spent a lot of time
with her while I was on tour,
and she seems like
she's really committing
to this whole power couple thing
with Breonna and tort law.
Yeah.
Does she seem happy to you, or
Um, yeah, I think so.
OK.
Do you want to talk about
the European leg of the tour?
How are you feeling about it?
I feel like I'd like to be home for more
than a minute without
talking about leaving again.
OK? I just want to be here with you.
OK. I guess I just don't
know what that means.
Like, do you want silence, or do
- [SIGHING] Jordan.
- OK. So
you don't want silence,
I can't talk about my
showcase or your tour,
and apparently I'm in
trouble for not being able
to read the tea leaves on Coop, right?
So please, honey,
please do tell me what is
on the approved list of
things that we can talk about.
Just forget it. Um, you should go back
to showcase planning with Cassius
because clearly you'd rather be there.
[SIGHS]
OK.
[DOOR SLAMS]
You know, um, you're in
a suspiciously good mood
for someone who just got
her win streak snapped.
Oh, yeah. I gave it up the minute I saw
Amina's tragic break shot.
OK. So what is it?
Tonight made one thing very clear.
Amina she's Miranda's
problem now, not mine
and lucky for us, your
dad's working late.
[SQUEAK]
CASSIUS: Congratulations, Jordan.
You'll learn to not bet
against me soon enough, cousin.
Certainly won't bet
against you throwing around
that Baker name to get a win.
Please. People just like me.
Ahh. You got anything here
to celebrate my win or what?
- Scotch.
- Hmm.
Heh heh. But, uh, what
happened with your dinner plans?
They didn't go as planned.
Right. You know, um
sometimes after a long season,
I would get so excited
to spend some time with Ava.
Hmm.
But when we finally
made that time heh
it felt like we were just playing
catch-up with each other's lives.
It felt like work.
Wanna know why?
Because it was.
Because work is what it
takes to come back together,
so instead of having a drink,
why don't you go back, do the work?
[COOP SIGHS]
Man.
BREONNA: Listen. You were really great.
COOP: Mm-hmm?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
The more you keep telling me that,
the less I'mma believe you.
- Stop.
- Seriously, though.
I mean, I know we talked
about interview prep.
Then you just threw me to the wolves.
I just didn't think you needed to know
Audrey was gonna be there,
and I was right because now
there's no need for interview prep.
Audrey just texted me,
and she said she didn't
need to see another thing.
You got the internship.
- Wait, what?
- Heh heh heh.
Yeah. No interview needed.
Yeah, we're really doing this, Coop.
You and me are gonna rule the world.
You're damn right we are.
Mm-hmm.
Hey, Gia. I'm just heading
into the office for a bit.
No, don't wait for me.
Sorry. I wasn't sure about
coming to see you here.
And yet here you are. For the record,
you're not gonna like
what I have to say.
- Did you talk to Khalil?
- He said he gave you a chance.
You don't understand.
I have seen the depths
of Khalil's forgiveness.
If he can't forgive you,
then that says it all.
You need to stop showing up here
like he owes you something.
- He doesn't.
- Listen.
Maybe you think you
can speak for my child
because you've been around,
but at the end of the day,
you are not blood,
and I am tired of strangers telling
The only stranger here is you.
You need to leave my house now.
JORDAN: You heard my wife.
Mm-hmm. No. I can't believe
that she had the nerve.
Well, thank you for having my back.
Mm-hmm.
- But be honest.
- Hmm?
How much of that smoke
was actually meant for me?
- Mmm.
- Mm-hmm.
Heh heh heh.
Listen. I'm sorry, OK?
I just I got caught
up in the showcase,
and I forgot to bring you with me.
Well, I'm sorry, too.
I've just been feeling
off since I've been back,
and I know it was only 6 months,
but just kind of feels like the world
moved on without me
and, um, the world is
allowed to move on without me,
but you're not.
- Deal, OK?
- Heh. Yeah.
I think I've got a pretty great idea.
- Hmm.
- Follow me. Come here.
Hey. Busy day, huh?
It turned out that way.
Now it's gonna be a busy week.
Hey. Uh, I just wanted, to say thanks,
you know, for backing the showcase.
It's a great idea.
You pulled off something impressive.
You and Baker.
Good night.
[SIGHS]
You know, you didn't need
to stick around with me
while I close up tonight.
Look. I had to make sure
you weren't too upset
about losing at pool.
Well, maybe next time, we won't have
the infamous Amina on our team.
Infamous, huh?
To hear Tori tell it.
So I was thinking
we've been keeping this thing
kind of casual, which was cool,
but
what do you think about
making us not so casual?
I can get with that.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
OK.
- Let me go grab my bag.
- OK.

I'm telling you Breonna
never laughs at my jokes.
That's your takeaway after months
of hanging out with them? Ha!
Look. All I'm saying is I'm funny.
- People like me.
- See, Jordan, babe,
I don't think you're supposed
to be the one to say that.
Yeah, but they do.
Hmm.
