- CAM: I think I really like this girl.
- You don't even know her.

- I got instincts.
- CASSIE: Well, I'm just hoping for a sign

for help with my last
corporal act of mercy

but Mary's not talking.

You could go up to
Boston and see Rodney.

Me and your mama were
no Romeo and Juliet,

but I wrote a few times early on.

I never got any letters.

He's a convict!

Stop trying to make him
into something that he's not.

Oh, Chen, thank you so much
for including me on this one.

Read the prospectus. I'll
need a wire by the rd.

Beginning when you were ,

I welcomed with an open mind

every young man you
presented for approval.

I eat tapas with Ronaldo,

played tennis with Cheech,

introduced Marcus high and low.

But I was not going to
let a husband come and go

and leave you wanting for anything

or paying for his life.

So? What do you think?

- I think Chen is a billionaire for a reason.
- I know, right?

I should probably offer
Cam a piece of my piece.

Look, if it's the amount of money

- you're worried about...
- It is not.

Good. Because half of
it's coming from me.

I'm asking my parents to open the trust.

- Yeah, will do.
- Hey, stay close.

- You'd best hope I do.
- [CHUCKLES]

This area's a bit rough, eh?

Nah, man, no rougher
than where we came from.

Probably some good stories
came out of these streets.

- Hoping we can tell some more.
- Yeah, yeah, all right.

What are we doing here,
man? Setting the stage

- for the next Dungeon Family?
- [CHUCKLES]

You laugh, but sh*t, Outkast...

- Goodie Mob.
- Sleepy Brown.

- Hey, k*ller Mike.
- Ah, second generation, but sure.

- What, you schooling me now?
- Ah.

All right, so what
is the deal with this?

The deal is this is a deal that is

the kind of deal you only get word of

when you know the right people.

I am still no closer to
understanding what the deal is.

- I'm ramping up.
- Okay.

We know the right people, so
we got a sh*t at this deal.

A deal to turn battered
public property, like this,

into a vibrant multi-use property

for lofts, shops, and cafes.

- Here?
- Yeah, here. And you know,

a few other spots bundled up with here.

But why here?

Well, you know, unless this
place is alive and well,

people like, uh...

well, Big d*ck Dwayne and Cucci B,

they may never meet
and express their love,

a love that, it may not be as
well funded as you and Allison's,

but it's just as rich and passionate.

Not exactly sure what that means.

What this means, what this represents,

is one of parcels
of disused public land

that we got opportunity to buy.

Well, f*cking Big d*ck Dwayne
and... and Cucci B, right?

- Okay.
- Hey, don't laugh, this is...

this is true love,
Cam. True f*cking love.

♪

Allison, what's that ring on
your hand with that big rock?

What, you won a
championship or something?

Mike, you are with a patient.

MIKE: 'Course I am. Allison,
Jasmine. Jasmine, Allison.

- Allison, that ring is dope.
- Thank you.

- So, is it the left ankle or the right ankle?
- It's always the right ankle.

- Oh, it's... it's actually the left.
- Oh, my bad.

- But that ring, though.
-Thank you.

I know what that ring is for.

- Who gave her that ring?
- You know that boy Cam?

- That boy Cam be balling.
- Wait.

Cam Calloway gave you that big-ass ring?

- Mike.
- You can't fool Mikey C.

Did he do something wrong? 'Cause
that looks like an "I'm sorry" ring.

'Course he did. It had to be the...

the girl from the strip
club around the corner.

Nah, it gotta be the
one from across town.

She fly, too, I ain't gonna lie.

- I ain't gonna lie.
- Wait, wait, wait.

- Did he hook up with Selena Gomez or something?
- Selena Gomez?

I love that girl.

Selena Gomez has absolutely
nothing to do with this ring.

Okay? This is literally just
good, old-fashioned love.

- So then when are you due?
- I'm not pregnant.

- Is he hitting you? Is... is he roughing you up?
- Whoa, whoa.

- I'm just saying!
- Whoa, listen.

You know me and you peoples. Either way,

ring or no ring, we peoples.

If somebody messing with
you, you know I got that team.

You know I got that street team.

We're gonna leave them in the streets.

Okay, I'll go on and
take you, all right?

- Let me wheel you down there.
- Yeah, do that.

Look, I met a guy. We started
hanging out, we fell in love.

And that's the story
you're sticking with?

He asked me to marry him.

- You really sticking to that story?
- That's it.

Okay, I see you, Allison.

- Okay.
- I love you.

Will you marry me?

♪

- You didn't tell me this was a school.
- Was a school.

- No longer a school.
- Why?

Probably a bad school.

- That's sad.
- [CHUCKLES] In theory.

No, a bad school is sad.
It ain't theory, it's fact.

Like, we went to some
bad schools. It was sad.

Yeah, but then we went on to
a nice Catholic high school,

got on the road to success,

a road that I like to
continue to walk on.

But what made this a bad school?

I don't know, Cam. I
don't know this school,

but what I do know is that
it's no longer a school.

Now it's an investment opportunity.

- Our opportunity.
- Okay.

Was it bad teachers, bad
policies, bad government

bad people making sure that tax dollars

bought more prisons and less schools?

[CHUCKLES] You know
what? I'll research it.

- Regardless, this is no longer a school.
- Sad.

Man, this is an oil well,

in plain sight ready to
be soaked for profits,

profits that we should partake in.

Hmm. How?

Well, we happen to be
associated with a man

Da Chen Bao, who's in the deal flow.

He's offered us the
opportunity to join him

in this particular
tributary of that flow.

Developing schools into Jamba
Juices and Old Navys, right?

No, no, no. By buying
this land for a low price,

and then selling it for a
high one to developers who,

yeah, they may decide to build
some Jamba Juices, you know.

- Healthy smoothies for everybody.
- Feels weird.

Only because you have been
conditioned to think it's weird

by people who want to keep the money.

Not let a couple guys
like us get that money.

And you know the only reason
they got most of the money?

Because they don't want guys like us

to know the easy ways
to make that money.

Cam, you drive the lane every night,

you risk getting clotheslined
by guys like Draymond Green.

You earn your money.
This is the beginning

of the money you ain't got to earn.

Hey, you know how many
idiots have said that

before they lost a f*ck-ton of money?

[CHUCKLES] Cam, you hear
more from the... the idiots

than you do from the
guys who made a f*ck-ton

'cause the guys who made a f*ck-ton,

they want to keep that sh*t quiet.

This is a place where
little kids went to school.

Exactly. Kids "went to."

- It's no longer a school.
- They got slides.

Like, I can still hear
the kids playing, man.

I can hear kids being bullied.

I can hear them being sent to detention.

Look, we can attach whatever
fictional narrative we choose.

Don't make this out to be a Shangri-La.

Shangri-Las don't get shut down.

I just think that there are some kids

who could still use a place like this.

Maybe, just maybe,
those kids have grown up

and you know what they
could use right now,

is a cafe, man, where they come in,

they get an espresso...

- Man...
- ... a apple fritter.

- You know what I'm saying?
- Diabetes.

What the f*ck you talking about,
from o... one apple fritter?

No, I'm... you naming a whole
bunch of sh*t that kids don't need.

- All right, well, f*ck it. They come in
- I'm just saying,

- and get a kale salad, Cam.
- ... they need a school.

They can get a kale
salad, get some protein.

I don't give a sh*t, okay?

- Hear me out.
- I'm hearing you.

What if we turn this back into a school?

We can get some local
politicians involved.

- This school right here?
- This school.

How do you think the
land got to be for sale?

Politicians, Cam! Come on, baby.

There's some kids who could
still use this school, Reg.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Hey, I'm just saying, the
pill, widely available.

People have learned how to
f*ck without making kids.

Maybe this area is just

making fewer kids
that go to this school.

- I guess.
- You guess? Cam.

They sh*t episodes of "The
Walking Dead" right here.

We're not the problem.
We're the solution.

- All right, man, let me think about it.
- Ah...

All right, well, just, think
quick. We under a bit of a deadline.

CAM: Okay, good to know.
I'll call you later.

- Great. What'd he say?

- Uh, he said he's thinking about it.

Yeah, he said he's thinking about it.

- MISSY: How is that good?
- Well, it's not bad yet, you know.

- Glass half full.
- MISSY: Well, what the hell is he thinking about?

Whether or not he
wants to invest, Missy.

- Aren't you the guy who vets things for him?
- REGGIE: I am.

And aren't you the guy who then tells
him what vetted sh*t to invest in?

Hey, why are we having a conversation

when we both know the answers?

MISSY: Because he usually
says, "Whatever you think, Reg,"

- but he hasn't.
- Yet.

MISSY: I thought that's why he had you,

so there's no "yet" to be said.

Once you say it's to be done, it's done.

That has been the pattern, yes.

So what's changed?

Apparently the pattern, Missy.

Look, I'm confident that
he will do what I ask.

Well, it doesn't matter whether
he says he's doing it or not.

- We're still doing it.
- REGGIE: We are.

There's a time limit on this.

Hey, what else can we say to one another

- that we both already know?
- You know what,

I hate how much of our lives

are contingent on Cam's whims.

I know, I know, I know,

but this is gonna be
good, with or without him.

You just get your trust

MISSY: Trust, no "fund."

Yeah, whatever, just

Oh, man.

[SIGHS] You know...

you know, I can put in a request

for a family visit if you
want to revisit our youth.

I think it's best to let you
and Cam do what you been doing.

You know?

- Mm-hmm.
- Writing, communicating.

I don't want to, um, intrude, and...

insinuate myself into
some false family trio.

No.

That's not the type of family
visit I was talking about.

Mm, mm. No.

That's how we ended up with a son.

- Oh, he turned out all right.
- Yeah,

he did.

He did.

He did.

Wish I'd have been there.

Yeah.

Me, too.

So, um, I have a question, and I'm...

hoping it doesn't sound like
what it might sound like,

but why now?

Well, I was in the neighborhood,
I thought I'd stop by.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Oh, you know how they say God is
never late, He's always on time?

And, um,

when you and I were together
we were nothing more than kids.

I know we thought that
we were grown, but...

[CHUCKLES] No, the state
certainly thought I was.

Yeah. You couldn't tell us nothing.

Because of that and

because of our youth,

our ignorance, our
strengths, our fearlessness...

because we were kids acting like adults,

we, um...

we did things.

We made decisions.

And things happened and
things can't unhappen.

- This is indisputable.
- [SIGHS]

I mean, I thought I was grown.

But now when I look at Cam, and

- I look at Mary Charles, it's just...
- Oh, man.

How is Mary Charles?

She's good.

- Yeah?
- She's good.

Rodney, I'm seeking my
Catholic confirmation

and part of that is
corporal acts of mercy.

You know, practicing mercy
on others, like Jesus did.

You know,

feed the hungry,

shelter the homeless,

visit the sick and imprisoned.

[SCOFFS]

So...

I am... I'm just a part of your
checklist for your spiritual journey?

Huh.

Well...

if I can just be to
you a good deed done,

then I can be that.

I came because I wanted to see you.

I'm sorry for...

- moving on with life.
- No, I get it.

No, no, no, no, no.
Don't just say you get it.

I get it.

Look,

I made some decisions that
I thought were good decisions

that may not have been.

Selfish decisions.

Will you forgive me for
not making the effort

to have your son know you?

Mm.

Was that a yes?

Yeah, yes.

Yes, you forgive me?

Yes, Cassie.

Yeah, I, um...

Yeah, I... I... I forgive you.

Think you know, I did some dumb things.

Driving getaway cars.

Getting violent in a

Now look at me.

It's good to look at you.

So Cam has brought me up

- sentence and stuff.
- [MUTTERS] ... Way too damn wise.

Well, now, it's gonna be a bit longer

- And when that happens?
- I'll...

yes, I'll come over for dinner.

I wish, um...

there was more that I could
do while you're in here.

I mean, I wish I could be of more help.

Really?

Yeah.

Why don't you stand up,

Uh... [LAUGHS]

I am not gonna stand up

What? [SCOFFS]

Well, get me some candy. What,

I mean, you got these quarters.

I'll text Ma, M-Chuck, Reggie and Missy.

Don't you think it should
just be immediate family?

- It is my immediate family.
- Cassie and M-Chuck.

Your mother and your sister.

That's different from
your cousin and his wife.

What's different from
your cousin and his wife?

We're having a... an engagement-
slash-meet-the-family dinner.

Oh. What family's meeting?

You and Cassie and my mom and dad.

Reggie and Missy don't make the cut?

If they come, then I
have to invite my cousins.

I never introduced you guys to Tanya.

[CHUCKLES] You've never mentioned her.

Because she's insufferable,

and I don't want you to suffer.

- Mm.
- Also, when my dad tells my uncle

that we had a family engagement dinner

and your cousins were
there and mine weren't,

- it won't be good.
- Yeah, that's where our families differ.

Apparently yours values open
communication and kindness

whereas ours values secrecy and
passive aggression, but don't worry.

Reggie and Missy will never find
out from me that you shut them out,

no matter what kind of ugly argument

you and I get into years from now.

- It's not like I got the memory of an elephant.
- No cousins.

Reggie will understand, Missy, too.

The... she's a beast for protocol.

I thought we weren't telling them.

You thought that.

Why are you texting Reggie
and Missy separately?

Because one, stay out of my phone,

and because two, I hate group texts.

No, but why text them at all?

Like "I'm having a... I'm
having a family dinner.

Just letting you know
you're not invited.

Love, Cam, your assh*le cousin."

- Yeah, I guess I didn't think that through.
- That's why I'm here.

- Call Ma.
- [LINE RINGING]

CASSIE ON RECORDING: Hi,
it's Cassie. Leave a message.

Ma, it's me. Uh, read your texts.

Oh, Ma doesn't like texts.
She likes voicemails.

She spent most of her life
without all this technology

and so I think the mere presence
of a cell phone in her hand

makes her feel like she's in a...

in a scary, unfamiliar world

that is as dangerous as
the one she barely escaped

by the skin of her teeth, thanks
to my dipshit brother here,

and his freakish ability to dribble
a small, inflatable piece of leather.

- [CHUCKLES]
- Remember that any time you talk to anyone old.

They're petrified.

Y'all are nuts.

- Done.
- Not done.

- Where?
- My house.

This mansion might make
my folks feel intimidated.

Why? I'm sure the house you grew up in

is a mansion compared
to where we grew up.

We mostly grew up in one room shitholes

- with a hole in the floor you sh*t into.
- She exaggerates.

Uh, the winter we spent in Hull?

- That was for like two months.
- And where did we sh*t?

In a hole. But it went in a bucket.

It's not like we lived in a sh*t hole.

We lived in a room that surrounded it.

I didn't mean to imply that

- you guys were sh*t...
- Okay, Allison, look. We are regular people.

- Your folks should come witness that.
- Yeah, we sh*t in bathrooms now.

I love that you see
yourself as a regular dude,

but you are a superstar NBA player.

And as regular as it
feels for you to be that,

to regular people who
are not superstars,

this house is daunting.

Yeah. Also this is the house
you f*ck his daughter in,

so you probably want
to stay far, far away.

Your parents' house?

- Done.
- Cool.

So just, you know, text me.

♪

There she is. Thank you.

MISSY: Hi, Daddy.

I told you you didn't have to come.

SAMUEL: Oh, but I did.

You see, transactions of this nature,

for the uninitiated,
should be handled in person.

Remember that should
you ever find yourself

on the delivery end of
this type of largesse,

that you will want to look
the recipient in the eye

to see what they look like,

hear first-hand how they sound,

so you have some idea
as to whether or not

the thing you are about to do

is, in fact, a good thing to do.

Then you see resolve.

I see that you're nervous.

Or better, anxious.

That's good.

Better than cocky.

I appreciate that you know
you've resolved to taking a risk,

rather than being
foolish enough to think

that you can convince
me that you aren't.

I appreciate this.

The point of having had
money set aside for you

is so that you have the opportunity

to take risks and make discoveries

without betting the farm, per se.

Even if you lose every
dime of this money,

you will have learned something.

One thing being how easy
it is to lose your money

two years before it's
supposed to be yours.

[CHUCKLES] And the other being

something not yet apparent

that I imagine one day you will perhaps

phone me to explain.

You keep talking as if
you know it won't work.

I don't know if it will or not.

I do know that it was working

and growing at a reasonable,

profitable safe rate over
time since your birth.

I know that you've been exposed
to the extraordinary sudden wealth

of a professional athlete,

and that may have
obscured your thinking.

I also know that should this work out,

you will feel smart and accomplished,

and you may forget all of
that anxiety you're feeling.

I want you to remember.

Is this the end of your speech?

Well, you try putting
a half million dollars

into your child's hands and see
how little you have to say about it.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

to take Atlanta into double overtime.

- Whoa! That's my baby! Nice.
- A double overtime?

Yeah, they played and ended
regulation in a tie score

then ended the extra

He knows better than that. You

We've been having plans
like that ruined for years.

Well, after you two are married,

- you still plan on working?
- I love my job.

I didn't go to school and
study for all these years

just to get married and quit.

Well, you are atypical with that!

I mean, most girls marry
a guy like my brother

can't wait to quit.

And that's if they ever
even get anything started.

Usually their job is to get knocked up

as soon as humanly
possible, and then negotiate

about the upbringing of the baby-to-be.

Clearly you're not that type. I...

I daresay you don't have
a thot bone in your body.

Well, you might need one,

'cause these girls
around here are serious.

I'm telling you, all
these ballplayers do

is get with these girls, have babies

and pay child support
and keep it moving.

But Cam, he's the marrying kind.

So how long y'all been married?

- years.
- Before the babies!

- Impressive!
- Not at that time.

long line of fathers,

- and they don't play that.

lots of grandbabies. I can't wait.

- We actually haven't talked about kids.

speaking as the only
other possible vessel

by which Ma here is gonna
get those grandbabies

she's been lusting
after with a vengeance,

I'm kind of hoping that
you'd be good for it,

'cause look, I'm not in a
place in my life right now

where I could even be entertaining
carrying lives inside of me.

So if you could pop out,
like, a niece and nephew

or two or three, that'd be great.

I mean, Ma ain't the best ma.

She's getting better.
You... you're getting better.

But grandma? I mean, I
feel like she'd crush that.

Uh, so what you gonna
do if Cam gets traded?

- Traded?
- Yeah, if he signs with another team.

I know what "traded" is,
but why would Cam get traded?

'Cause this league is full
of money-grubbing bastards

who couldn't care less
about where you wanna live

or who you gotta drag along with you.

As long as they're
making money whenever,

whatever happens, happens.

I'm not saying that Atlanta is bad.

I'm just saying the one
reason why we're here is...

this is where the money is.

Ma, M-Chuck and her parents.

On a night after the game?

- Don't ask.
- All right. Squeeze driving you?

- No, I got my car.
- Cool.

Yo, so, about that, uh, school thing.

- All right.
- I don't want to do it.

Ah, we ain't gotta talk about it now.

We just talked about it.

Yeah, but before you said
you was gonna think about it,

and then we'd talk about it.

Yeah, well, I thought about
it, we talked about it,

and the thinking and
the talking are done.

Oh, ah... double overtime loss,

never a good time for
business chats, so...

Dude, don't treat me
like I'm some kid that...

that... that can't have one feeling,

disappointment over a
game, and then another,

not wanting to do a business
deal for sound reasons,

at the same time.

I'm sorry it came across that way.

Apology accepted.

- All right, well, I gotta go.
- Yeah, uh, listen,

and I know we just talked about it,

but for my own record-keeping purposes,

why don't you want to do this?

Told you why I don't want to do it.

I just... I don't like the idea
of us turning what was once schools

into places to buy sh*t.

I don't want to make money like that.

It don't feel right
because it ain't right.

I mean, have you looked around, man?

You see how stupid this country is?

- [CHUCKLES]
- We need more schools and less nail salons,

- not the other way around.
- Wait, so nail salons are the problem,

not the m*llitary industrial complex?

Hey, you wanna start some
schools, let's start some schools.

Let's make some more money,

and then we can tell people
how they supposed to live.

Reg, come on, man. You
saw that neighborhood.

If they knocking down schools,

they should be building
up baseball fields.

- Eh, it's a dying sport.
- Okay, well, soccer fields, and whatever else.

They need to create a space for
people to play more, not buy.

I don't want to be associated with it.

Chen might, but I ain't Chen.

You ain't either, man. We're different.

We come from places
like that neighborhood.

We need to honor those
people and speak up for them,

- and the neighborhood.
- [STAMMERS] I hear you.

I'm all about that, but Cam,
this is a really great deal, man.

Oh, for f*ck's sake,
Reggie, I told you, man.

I thought about it.
I don't want to do it.

I don't think that you
should do it, either.

It ain't what we wanna be.

Okay, when you say you
don't think I should...

- That means I'm sure you shouldn't.
- And when you say you're sure...

Reg, are you gonna make me say it, man?

I'm trying to be respectful.

I do not want you to do it.

There will be plenty
of other opportunities

that we will feel better about.

Just as good, man. Watch.

I gotta go, man. My fiancée's waiting.
