Previously on The Chi

Where my wifey at?

Darnell.

I got to tell you something.

It's about your son.

I f*cked him.

I just wanna be with someone

who I can have

an intelligent debate with.

Why would I wanna debate with you?

I love you.

I was thinking we could skip

the massage tonight.

I wanna take you to dinner.

- To dinner?

- Don't worry.

I'm still gonna have you for dessert.

Who the f*ck you think you is,

Fresh Prince of Inglewood?

Man, shut yo' punk ass up.

Don't end up like your brother.

Man, f*ck you.

Yo. Yo. Yo.

Hey. Hey! ID.

Nah, f*ck that.

Agh! I

- Stop resisting.

- What I do? Get off me!

Yo, man, get off me, man!

Please, let him go!

Get on the ground!

On the ground! Now!

Sir, what did he do?

sh*t, what's wrong with y'all?

Maybe if I had my uniform on,

I would have walked away, too.

I walked away 'cause

I listened to the police.

You should have had my back.

What was I supposed to

do, fight the police?

Kevin, when you go through

something like this,

nobody knows what to say,

so they just wind up

saying nothing at all.

Then it's just you, all by yourself,

with no one to talk to,

so you start telling yourself sh*t like,

"I deserved it. Maybe

nobody wants me around.

What would the world be

like if I wasn't here?

Does anybody even care?"

You hear about what

happened with those kids

that got b*at up by the police?

Well, what are you gonna do about it?

I'ma handle this.

Man, I want blood.

They got my little brother

in here shackled to a bed

like a f*cking animal.

He's coming.

Hold on, hold on, Tiff.

Can we just talk about this, please?

Talk about what? How you f*cked Dom?

Did she call you "Daddy"?

I know you like that freaky sh*t.

Why you gonna come at my freaky side?

'Cause you think this sh*t is funny.

You think this sh*t is a game.

What you gonna do, k*ll me?

With our baby in the next room, asleep?

Hell, yeah, m*therf*cker.

Put that m*therf*cking Kn*fe down.

Or what? What you gonna

do? f*ck Dom again?

Emmett. Emmett.

m*therf*cker.

Emmett.

Aah!

Emmett, wake yo' ass up.

Boy, what's wrong with you?

Damn.

You okay?

Uh, I-I must have been

having a nightmare.

That's what you get.

What? Huh?

I told you stop eating them Flamin' Hots

before you go to bed.

So so you not mad at me?

Why? Should I be?

No.

No.

Good.

Get off the phone.

- Why?

- 'Cause I said so.

Dre and I are getting ready to go.

- Okay, bye.

- Boy, don't get smacked.

You always talking about how

you gonna smack somebody,

but you never do, so it's

Can I get my phone back, please?

Yo. You lucky we still let you

have a phone with all the sh*t

you been pulling around here lately.

- Like what?

- Like coming in here drunk.

And high.

Look, I know you going through a lot.

But that does not mean you

need to start self-medicating.

So? Am I grounded or something?

Well, that hasn't really

been working recently,

so we gonna try something else.

Like getting rid of that TV

and those video games.

And we gonna give you a flip phone.

Cool?

Bet.

So are you at least excited

about the college tour?

Damn.

These kids these days

don't be excited about sh*t.

Why would I be excited

about walking around college?

'Cause it's college, Kev.

Girls. Freedom. Party.

He doing all that already.

That's the problem with these kids.

What we did in college,

they do in high school.

That part.

Where the cheese puffs?

Where you think?

Ah, she eats everything

in this damn house.

Yo, that's 'cause she

eating for two now, Kev.

- Just chill out.

- She need to hurry up and have this baby

so we can go back to normal.

Well, if she don't hurry

up and find a family,

we gonna have another mouth to feed.

f*ck that.

Ah! That hurt.

It was supposed to.

Morning.

Hey, y'all.

Dang. What?

He mad you ate the cheese puffs.

Oh, my bad.

Come on, baby. We out.

So you really not gonna let me take you

to your high-school reunion?

- No.

- Why not?

'Cause I don't want people

mistaking me for Angela Bassett

in How Stella Got Her Groove Back.

Oh, so you worried

about what people think.

- No.

- That's what it sounds like.

We don't even know what we are yet.

How am I supposed to introduce you?

- Tell them I'm your masseuse.

- Right.

It's the truth.

You're more than that.

And what am I?

I don't know yet.

Should we talk about it?

Hmm I don't really feel like talking.

What you feel like doing?

Good morning.

Hey, babe.

So what do you think

about lemon pepper wings for the party?

That's cool.

You sure you don't want

me to come with you?

No, I got it.

Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm good.

You did what you had to do.

I know. But it's just a temporary fix.

What do you always tell me?

That we can't save the world.

That's right.

This sh*t's gotta stop.

I love you.

You better.

What did I tell you about

putting sugar in my grits?

That's mine's.

I fixed a pot for you over there.

Okay. Thank you.

You know, one of these days,

you gonna have to learn

how to eat grits the right way.

- I know how to eat grits.

- No, you don't.

Not if you putting cheese

in them m*therf*ckers.

I feel weird just making that sh*t.

Can I get in here? Can I get in here?

I mean, you want me to be

right here, all over you?

You okay?

Emmett. You okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

You sure?

Yes.

Don't get snippy with me.

My bad, my bad.

No. I'm already late, Emmett.

I already told you, the weed

woman can never be late.

She always right on time.

I'm known for my customer service.

And I can't be late,

'cause I don't know how long

they gonna be in the studio.

What studio you trying to go to?

Gravity.

- Gravity?

- Yeah.

Uh-uh. n*gg*s be sh**ting over there.

You can't go up in there

all by yourself.

Boy, I'm grown, and I'm not scared.

The n*gg*s that rap in there

actually do the sh*t

that they rap about it's dangerous.

Just 'cause you got your

sh*t together a little bit

don't mean you can follow

me around all the time.

This ain't even about me.

This is about you and

making sure you good.

Can I do that for my wife?

It's a female rapper, Emmett.

Oh, that's different. Who?

Dreezy.

Aw, hell, nah.

She always rapping about,

"n*gg*s ain't sh*t".

'Cause y'all ain't sh*t.

You wasn't till you got

your sh*t together.

Maybe she just attracting sh*t n*gg*s.

Well, maybe they just

not as lucky as me.

All right, I'm gone.

- Man, he can't tap no ass

So we're on our way to

our first college tour,

and I'm thinking about

studying molecular engineering

and getting a master's

in polymer science.

What about you, Kevin?

Uh, um, I don't know yet.

Kevin, I can't post that.

Why?

'Cause you don't look like my equal.

Just 'cause I don't have

my whole life planned out?

I just want people to know

that we're equally yoked.

"Equally yoked".

Are you okay?

Yeah.

- Kevin.

- I said I'm fine.

Jake. Jake.

How's your arm?

It's all right.

Doctor said I'll be good in two days.

Cool.

Yeah.

Hey, Jake.

Hey, Dakota.

You poor baby. How's your arm?

Real bad the doctor said

it won't be right for a couple months.

I just want you to know

I think you're a hero.

For what?

The way you stood up to

that r*cist police officer.

It was really brave.

Thank you.

Black lives will always matter to me.

I really wish there was

something I could do

to make you feel better.

I can think of a few things.

Those are a little crooked.

And I like when the

price stickers are all

in the same place on each item.

I'm OCD. I know.

I'm sorry, y'all. One second.

Sorry. See, the trick really

is to pull it like this.

It's all in the wrist.

Please don't lean on the counter.

If we ask the customers not

to do it, we shouldn't either.

Excuse me. Do y'all sell purses?

- Syd.

- Kiesha!

Oh, my God. Hey, girl.

I didn't know you worked here.

Yeah.

How you been?

I've been here.

Yeah, I feel you.

So you good?

Yeah.

The purses, they're on that back wall.

Thank you.

See ya.

Go backs.

Now! On the ground!

What did he do?

- Dude!

- What's wrong?

He's just a kid!

Looks like Chicago's finest to me.

The DA has this and

still hasn't done sh*t?

Well, you know these things take time.

How long are we supposed to wait?

This is the other

information you wanted.

Look, I know it's hard,

but try not to let your past

influence what you're doing here.

- My past is what got me here.

- I helped get you here, too.

So what are you trying

to say? I owe you?

It's a little too early

for you to be getting a big head.

You just remember, I'm

the head n*gga in charge.

You know what? I got this.

Why so much security? You scared?

Should I be?

I don't know. Did you

do something wrong?

So is this how it's gonna be?

Every time one of us does

something you don't like,

you're gonna send one

of your g*ons to come

and teach us a lesson?

Are you accusing me of breaking the law?

Mayors tend to do that around here.

Not this one. And you do realize

you're my subordinate, right?

- Jake Taylor att*cked me.

- Define "att*cked".

I asked him to get on the ground,

put his hands where I could see them.

He refused.

So that's why he had a

black eye and a busted lip.

- I asked him for his ID.

- Why?

- It's procedure.

- I don't think it is.

I like to know who I'm talking to.

Judging from the tape, you

wasn't doing too much talking.

I got your file here.

Looks like you have a lot of run-ins

with young Black boys

just minding their own business.

I've been on the force for 18 years.

Of course I'm gonna

have a few complaints.

More than a few.

At this point, it's looking

more like a pattern.

Are you a bad cop, Officer Reeves?

What?

Are you a bad cop?

I'm a w*r vet that

fought for my country.

I got a wife and four boys.

Every time I leave the house,

they don't know if I'm coming home.

Yeah.

Well, I know the feeling.

What do we want? Justice.

When do we want it? Now.

What do we want? Justice.

When do we want it? Now.

What do we want? Justice

Mayor Perry. Mayor Perry.

What do you think about

the bodycam footage

of Officer Reeves and Jake Taylor?

The Black community

is calling you to arrest

the cops that assaulted him

would you like to comment?

How do you feel about the looting?

People are more valuable than property.

As of today, Officer Reeves

will no longer be a member

of the Chicago Police Department.

r*cist cops will not be

tolerated on my watch.

What do we want? Justice.

When do we want it? Now.

What do we want? Justice.

When do we want it? Now.

What do we want? Justice.

It's all we got.

Why can't you just rent a studio

and do your podcast there?

I don't have that kind of money.

You would if Emmett

paid you under the table.

I know, but he's finally

getting his life together,

and I don't wanna be his downfall.

What?

I keep thinking about what

happened with the police.

I wish I could have

done more to stop it.

Cops harass us every day.

What happened to Kevin

and Jake ain't nothing new.

But if you keep talking about it,

maybe it won't happen as much.

You think my podcast

gonna be that powerful?

Well, not at first, but you never know.

One day, Papa's Pulpit

gonna be worldwide.

Who's gonna be your first guest?

Van Jones.

n*gga, Van Jones ain't coming over here.

I DM'd him and asked if he would.

- And?

- And he said,

"Hey, young man.

Appreciate your support".

You don't say that unless you're coming.

You putting way too much on it.

So you don't believe in me?

Of course I believe in you.

I just don't believe Van Jones

is gonna come do your podcast.

Wow.

And I thought you was

supposed to be my Coretta.

That don't mean I can't be honest.

Hoo-hoo!

What's up, G?

Now, who you supposed to be,

Taye Diggs or some sh*t, n*gga?

- Oh, man.

- Come here, dog.

You definitely been in prison too long.

Let me look at you.

What's up?

Look good, boy.

Oh, sh*t.

n*gga, this car right here.

When this sh*t come out?

sh*t, about a while ago.

Lot of sh*t's changed, bro.

I see.

Come on, let's slide up out of here.

Hold on, man. What you doing?

Last thing you need is to get

pulled over without a license.

- Yeah, you right.

- Uh-huh.

I know I'm right.

- Come on.

- Yeah, yeah, let's go.

It's cold as sh*t out here.

- Hey, uh

- Hmm?

So I heard you living in

Reg old trap house, huh?

Yep.

Hey, but I also hear

you got a bad bitch on

your arm nowadays, too

First of all, don't call her a bitch.

Oh, I'm sorry.

What should I call her?

Your Nubian queen?

Nah, n*gga, you supposed

to call her Imani.

- Imani?

- Yeah.

Sounds sexy.

She's super sexy.

Keep your hands to yourself, Shaad.

Well, I'ma try my best.

No, I need you to try harder than that.

Hey, uh, I mean, is your

girl gonna be cool with me

staying with y'all and sh*t?

Yeah, man, she be all right.

What's this? Ooh.

- You need anything else?

- Bullshit.

I need me a bitch with

small titties and big ass,

you know, and low standards

n*gga, you know how I do.

- Always specific, bro.

- Come on.

Man, I'm so glad to be up

out that m*therf*cker, G.

Man, I bet you are.

All I got to say is,

f*ring a Chicago police officer

would not have been my

first big move as mayor.

Okay, but if you want different results,

you have to do different things.

Well, the result is utter chaos.

CPD is targeting Black neighborhoods.

And Black folks are

rightfully pushing back.

Question is, what happens next?

All I know is whatever

Mayor Perry's next move is

We can't control him.

That's not necessarily a bad thing.

Yes, it is.

He can't just go around

saying whatever he wants.

Works for some politicians.

Yeah, the white ones.

Let me guess y'all

in here talking about me.

Well, you stay giving

us something to talk about.

I'm glad Black Twitter

is happy with you,

but you've alienated

a big part of your base.

I'm done campaigning.

They made their choice.

You're always campaigning.

I have to be bold,

and that cop needed to be fired.

Well, thanks to you,

now they're on a warpath

in our neighborhoods.

So now it's my fault that

the police are r*cist?

Uh, have you forgotten

we're still trying to

get this Olympic bid?

Oh that's your mission, not mine.

It's one of the reasons I endorsed you.

No, you endorsed me

because you didn't want

to work for a woman.

- I don't work for you.

- You do.

And I didn't come this

far by following the rules.

Well, do me a favor.

Don't fire any more police officers

without consulting us first.

You know what? I'm sorry.

I can't make that promise.

You know, sometimes I

just gotta go with my gut.

Well, don't let your gut get you k*lled.

Was that a thr*at?

No.

I'm only trying to protect you.

Well, I don't need protection,

because I'm good wherever I go.

As an institution, we pride ourselves

on our immersive campus experience.

Today we're going to

cover academic, athletic,

and social settings.

I'm really starting to wonder

if higher education

is just a scam.

Thought you wanted to go to college.

I like the idea of college.

Meeting new people, being

exposed to new ideas,

and mainly being away from my dad.

But at the end of the day,

it's all a business,

and businesses have to make money.

What's wrong with that?

sh*t, I got to go here

so I can make some money one day.

And there lies my issue.

All your life, you're told

that you have to go to college

if you wanna make good money.

But while you're at college,

you're accumulating

so much debt, no matter what you make,

you can't even enjoy it,

because you're worried

about trying to pay off

your student loans.

And nowadays, you can't

just have a college degree.

You got to have a master's or a Ph.D.,

which means you're

accumulating even more debt.

So once you're done

with all your classes

and you've gotten all your diplomas,

all you'll have left is

a few pieces of paper

to hang on the wall and a pile of debt

you'll be paying off for

the rest of your life.

And you know what's the

crazy thing about all of this?

Some of the world's richest people

don't even have a college degree.

Yeah, like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.

Exactly.

Chances of me being

Steve Jobs is pretty slim,

don't you think?

- Says who?

- I don't know.

- Hey, stop thinking small.

- Stop telling me how to think.

Look

I'm gonna go look for Jake.

- Oh, so you're mad at me now?

- No.

I'm just tired of hearing you talk.

Sounds like toxic masculinity to me.

Whatever, Jemma.

Man, you need to tell her

and deal with the consequences.

Man up and stop acting

like a little bitch.

You the one who told

me not to tell Tiff.

Boy, I ain't talking to

you. I'm on the phone.

Think you the only one with problems?

Hey, man, let me hit you back.

Hey, what's up, Kiesha?

Hey, Darnell. What y'all doing here?

Shopping for his reunion.

Hey, you think you can hook us up

with an employee discount?

Really?

No, but the men's section is

over in that corner, Darnell.

All right.

Pssh.

Sorry. He's such a hot-ass mess.

Boy, please. Y'all cut

from the same cloth.

What's wrong?

You know, if you need

advice, I'm here to help.

That's the thing

I don't need no advice,

'cause I already know what I gotta do.

What you gotta do?

Tell Tiff the truth.

Boy, I been told you that.

I know, I just don't wanna

hurt her any more, you know?

I'm tired of always being that dude.

Well, tell her the truth and

don't be that dude no more.

You right.

I know. I know this.

How are you, though? For real?

Stressed.

I'm sure.

I'm just trying to make

sure this baby is okay,

and all these books keep

telling me what I should do,

what I shouldn't do.

Ah, f*ck them books.

All my baby mamas ate was Flamin' Hots

and pickles they whole pregnancies.

All my kids turned out fine.

I still got to decide who gets

this baby after it's born.

Damn.

How you know who to give it to?

I don't.

Just got to trust my instincts

and do what I gotta do

to take care of myself.

You're gonna be all right, Kiesha.

No matter what.

Believe that.

Thank you. Always checking in on me.

Of course.

I'm here if you need anything.

All right?

Hey, Darnell, where you at?

Yo, Jake.

- Damn, where you been?

- Huh?

Were you with Dakota?

n*gga, mind your business.

See, I f*ck with video games,

but not that much.

You know, people get

scholarships for that sh*t now.

- Word?

- Yeah.

Damn.

Maybe I do need to

step my game up, then.

Here. Go smoke those fools.

Nah, I'm good.

Come on, bro. I believe in you.

Bro, I don't wanna waste your money.

Then double that sh*t.

That's all my money

for the rest of the month.

Hey, you about to run out of time.

- Yeah.

- Oh.

- Can I get in?

- Yeah, sure.

Masterful.

Hey, hey, better luck next time for you.

I'm tired of us feeling like

I'm done waiting.

Today I'm gonna change our city forever.

I've decided to defund the police

Have you spoken to the chief of police?

That's our lead.

Effective immediately.

We spend $1.9 billion on CPD,

and we barely see

anything back in return.

It's time to do things differently.

- Thank you.

- Is this

in retaliation to what

happened to Jake Taylor?

How do you plan to handle

the backlash from the CPD?

I know you guys have a lot of questions,

but I'm not prepared to

answer them right now.

We'll figure this out.

Until then, God bless you,

I'm just surprised that

Mr. Jones hasn't arrived yet.

I DM'd him at least three times,

and he keeps leaving me on Read.

Wow, Van. I'm shocked.

Actually, I'm bewildered.

I thought you were for the people,

but I guess all skinfolk ain't kinfolk.

Uh, according to his Twitter,

he is attending the

Red Table Talk today.

So that's probably why

he couldn't make it.

Well, let's all lift Brother

Jones up in prayer

as he gets ready to make

his debut appearance

on the famed Red Table Talk.

But let's also hope he can

make time for the little people

as well

at some point in the near future.

Papa

I'm sorry for believing

he wouldn't come.

But he didn't.

I mean, yeah. But I should've had faith.

It's okay, queen.

But I did come up with a backup plan.

I taught you well, boy.

Get out of my head, Darnell.

She's unlike anybody

I've ever been with.

From what I hear, you've been around.

That was just to make ends meet.

I got my sh*t together now.

She's the only one getting

happy endings these days.

She deserves a happy ending.

Not like that. You know what I mean.

I know what you mean.

I wanna give her the world.

I don't think she wants the world.

I just think she wants

somebody to grow old with.

I'd love to be that person.

You got to earn that spot.

I intend to.

You have a reason to be here right now?

Hands. Give me your hands.

Up against the wall.

You understand you were

disturbing the peace?

You hear me?

I'm sorry.

You can't loiter in front

of this establishment.

- Stop resisting.

- I was just hanging out.

Yeah, well, you can't do that.

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

Hey, what's the problem?

- Back up, please.

- Hold on. I know him.

- This doesn't concern you.

- Yeah, it does. That's my cousin.

- Now he's your cousin?

- Yeah, I consider him family.

See, this is exactly why we

don't want you m*therf*ckers.

We don't need y'all here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Y'all trying to be famous? Huh?

Y'all wanna be famous?

Everybody know him.

Man, this man would not hurt a soul.

Everybody know that around here.

Everybody, take your

phones out right now!

Take your phones out, man.

- Let me take him home.

- Let us do our job.

We ain't your job no more, man.

Let me take him home.

I don't got time for this sh*t.

See him here again, we're arresting him.

I don't care how many

people you got filming it.

Yeah, we'll see about that.

Good night, everybody.

Yeah, whatever.

I got you, man. You all right?

Let me take you home, shorty.

Shotgun!

Yeah. Shotgun.

Ew.

- That's what you get.

- Shut up, Kiesha.

Can't believe you got

kicked off the tour

out here acting like you

don't got no home training.

You don't know how good you got it.

All you gotta do is do your homework

and act like you got some sense,

and you can't even do that.

I'm supposed to be at college.

Instead, I'm picking your

ass up from a college tour

'cause you don't know how to act.

I'm sorry.

You lucky I'm not telling Ma.

- I know.

- And you owe me.

You know you done f*cked up, right?

Don't be scared.

After all we did to get here,

and this is what you do.

Are you finished?

I didn't sign up for this.

Yes, you did.

What?

What's this?

Boy, don't you think I know my body?

That lump has been there for years.

I get it checked out

every birthday. It's fine.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

Want me to get it checked out again?

That would be nice.

What if I don't feel like being nice?

Then I might have to smack that ass.

Might?

- Yeah.

- You might?

Well, probably!

Yo, yo.

If you not ready to go in two minutes,

you getting left.

Come on, y'all.

How you gonna leave me?

What's good? I thought

you wasn't feeling well.

I'm not, but I'm still coming.

All right. Come on. We out.

Blood levels are great.

Oxygen level's perfect.

You have a very healthy baby, Kiesha.

I wanna run a few more tests.

They'll be more extensive,

and we'll do a biopsy

to determine what stage the cancer's in.

Then based on those results,

we can talk about your options.

I'm so sorry to be giving you this news.

Is there someone I can call?

A family member or

friend to be with you?

Do you wanna know the sex?

No.

What's that?

It's the baby's heartbeat.

Oh.

She just being quiet.

When a Black woman is being quiet,

that's when you need to be afraid.

This cancer's more aggressive

than we thought.

Don't worry. You're gonna do great.

If you promise to have my back on this,

I'll never let you down.

Let's stop pointing finger at each

other, and start coming together.

'Cause if we don't, we'll never survive.
