Post by bunniefuu »

[man] You all right?

[school bell rings]

You bagged it.

Bagged it means
you made a choice.

Hey, I"ll see you, bro.

Jessie Edward,
are you ready?

- [grunts]
- Hey!

Why you gotta see
the counselor?

She"s worried I'm not
getting everything I need.

- I"m not supposed to be seeing you.
- And yet?

[man 1] People need to see your
eyes, Dai. Keep your head up.

What the f*ck you doing, n*gga?

Playtime"s up.

- Your mom lets you hang out with dealers?
- No.

[man 1] Let"s make this paper.

[man 2] Don"t look!

[g*nsh*t]

I"m not nothing.

[man 1] You talk to your
friends about this side of you?

About your home life?

I"m an addict.

I wasn"t here then.

I"m here now.

I"m here now.

[man 1] How you take care
of your brother?

-[grunts] -[David]
J.G. doesn"t think first.

[man 1] That would be hard,
having to split yourself like that.

- [both] Don"t say it.
- You in my head but you dead!

Don"t be salty, Dai.
You can still get it.

Ms. Shella!

[man 3] What"d I tell you
about the Ville, huh?

- It"s crazy around here.
- I live here.

[man 1] What about Seren?

[woman] He gone.

You can"t save everyone, Dai.

You try to go to Hurston,
young Dai?

[David] I just came to ask you
for your recommendation.

I"d like to speak with
admissions about David Young.

Am I better?
Am I?

[man 1] You the man.

[young David]
You try to track it down...

that moment.

That moment
that it all changed.

The moment that
you forgot to wake up.

[gasps]

[sighs]

[sighs]

I wish this sh*t would stop.

[sighs]

[upbeat music playing]

Mr. D! Regular like a clock.
Time to put in the work.

Yeah.

[panting]

[woman moaning]

[water shuts off]

- [water turns on]
- [woman moaning]

[water shuts off]

- [woman] Yeah. Mm-hmm.
- [man] You like that?

- [man] Yeah? You like that?
- [woman moaning]

Oh! Oh!

[water shuts off]

Creep.

Luck and opportunity.

[phone chimes]

[intercom beeps]

[woman] Next stop,
Government Center.

[indistinct radio transmission]

Whoa!

You gotta watch
where you"re going, sir.

[woman] You"ve arrived.
Government Center.

[man] Watch the doors.
Watch the doors.

Excuse me.

[intercom beeps]

[woman] Next stop, Downtown,
Business District.

Hey.

I said you need
to pay attention.

Watch where you"re going.

You in a hurry?

You can"t stop for a second
to say sorry?

For what?

Oh, so you can see me.

I thought you might"ve
been blind or something.

Man, you are an officer
of the law.

- You bumped into me.
- I didn"t bump...

We bumped into each other.
I"ll go first.

"I"m sorry, sir."

Look at you.
Can"t even say "Good morning."

- Good morning.
- Hey.

Hey, man!
I gotta get ready for work!

f*ck! Can I do that?
Can I please get ready for work?

- Calm your a*s down.
- [siren chirps]

Everything all right, Officer?

Yeah, it"s cool.

This my brother.

You play too f*cking much, J!

[laughs]

I"ma tell Mama,
you out here cussing.

[laughs]

Call Ma.

- [Gloria] Hello?
- Ma, David out here cussing.

- [Gloria] Leave David alone.
- Yeah, loud as hell, too.

[Gloria] I ain"t got time...

[upbeat music playing]

Thanks, man.

Dr. Menus, I got your Times
"cause I know you hate the Journal.

All right, Mr. Young.
Thank you.

"Mr. Young"? Why so formal?
We got company?

Oh, yeah.

[Jessie] There you are, DJ.

Man, I was wondering
when you were gonna get here.

Jessie Edwards.

Hey, listen, I know
I"m talking to you

before you"ve even
hit your office...

Phil Jackson talked to Kobe
before the court.

What?

I don"t need you
to hold my hand.

This is important to me, too.

Well, I wanna give you
a heads-up.

The proposal...
Would you slow down?

The meeting you"re prepping
me for is this way, right?

Everyone.

David Young,
our best strategist.

And, David,
you know Mr. Padilla.

Good to see you, David.

Joe, please.
My nephew, Elan.

Sup, man.

They came down from
their offices at PA Associates

to hear your pitch for the
Homestead Village redevelopment.

I know it"s supposed to be an
in-house work session first, David, but...

Ready?

- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.

Stay ready,
don"t have to get ready.

[font color=#00FF00]Season 02 Episode 01[/font]

Episode Title: [font color=#FFc30f]" Barrel of Oranges"[/font]
Aired on: [font color="#00ffff"]June 22, 2021.[/font]

Two things made Miami:

Luck and opportunity.

Julia Tuttle,
out-of-work speculator,

hearing of a frost that destroyed an entire
citrus crop north of Palm Beach in 1894,

sent a barrel of oranges from
her own grove here in Miami,

to Henry Flagler,
railroad titan.

Mrs. Tuttle wanted to show him
and his company

how lucky Miami was to have
missed the frost completely

and enticed him to invest
in a station here.

And it worked.

Flagler extended his railway

from Jacksonville
to this very spot,

making Mrs. Tuttle
the founder of modern Miami.

[chuckles] Denise.

[beeps]

Thank you.

You all don"t know how many
times she and I practiced that.

[chuckles]

So what"s the luck here?

Well, PA Associates, your firm,
would like Edward"s, us,

to pitch your plan for
redevelopment for a piece of land

east of the Redlands
and Urban Development Line:

Homestead Village,

a relatively quiet
and rundown housing project,

known only to
the county district 14 voters,

who, for years, have urged
Commissioner Corey Roberts to get rid of.

But almost nothing can.

It survived Hurricane Andrew,

and the last decade
of political storms.

But here"s how you know
you"re in luck,

you"re talking to someone that
spent the first 15 years of his life

living there, and who knows,
without a shadow of a doubt,

that it was poor then, now blighted,
and is screaming for redevelopment.

But where"s the opportunity?

[ringing sound]

Stop the transcript.

Just type: "Mr. Young improvises
a joke, blah blah blah."

David, we always record...

I know, we didn"t practice this,
but right now I just need you...

Mr. Padilla,
I need you to clear the room.

- Pardon?
- I got something I need to tell you.

And I guarantee
it"ll be worth your while.

I"d like to speak alone.

Thank you.

Go ahead, Elan. Just a moment.

You wanna make money
or a name?

[scoffs] David.

This plan for redevelopment
will eventually pass.

[David] You"ll muscle
your way through it.

You have the money,
the lawyers,

the means to drag this out for
what, six, seven, eight years?

Ram it down
the commissioners" throats.

They"ll hate you for it,

but you will get the redevelopment
of Homestead Village.

But that"s not what you want.

- What do I want?
- Opportunity.

What if I told you I can get your plan
permitted and approved in six months?

David, that"s really fast.

That"s why I said it out loud.

You have my attention.

First, we do this.

That... that"s the mall
we secured in Clearwater.

I know.

It was hell trying post-COVID

to get that approved,
even in Tampa.

I bet.

Thank you for your time.

Mr. Padilla! Joe!

You"re gonna get so much
pushback from this monstrosity.

No offense.

But every commissioner
is gonna get involved.

And not just Corey Roberts.

Yes, it"s his district, but all.

Why? Because this, they know,
has no chance in hell of happening.

They"re gonna alert the press.
They"re gonna call the state.

Why would they want people
to see it not proceed?

Because in reality, Jessie,
he doesn"t want the money.

Do you, Mr. Joe?

Look, I didn"t think to present
this to you today. I didn"t.

I didn"t know
if you were serious

or if you were just someone Jessie
set us up with to milk for money.

[stammers] - But I think
we have something you want.

After the fallout
from the press,

we immediately halt the plan
to build that mall.

We pivot and pitch the plan for
the residential redevelopment,

the one you wanted anyway,
ready to break ground, humane.

No one sees
that it"s still condos

that most people who used to
live in the Ville can"t afford.

They"re still reeling from the fact
that you took back that big a*s mall

they was all ready
to fight you on.

All they see is Joe Padilla
listened to the people.

And then you have them.

You have the money.

You have their respect.

But to have the voice
of the people? Whoo.

That"s enough real appeal
and cache to launch

your own very successful run
for strong mayor of Miami-Dade.

After all,
isn"t that what you want?

[chuckles]

[indistinct chatter]

Mr. Young.

You gave us
something to think about.

We will be in touch.
Thank you.

How did you know
he wanted to be mayor?

Miami billionaire comes to you

wanting to revitalize
blighted neighborhoods for fun?

[laughs] Only in Miami.

f*ck, man,
if this goes well, D!

Yeah, I know, J,
it could be huge.

I mean, if it works out,
maybe he"ll use us for his run.

His campaign, I mean.

f*ck that. No.
You wanna run an election?

[scoffs]

My dad will wanna make you
partner if this goes well.

With me, of course.

I told Joe if he decided this plan
was the one he wanted to go with,

we"d have to up the fee.

Oh, yeah, naturally.
We"ll be doing more work faster.

Can we handle that?

I can handle it.

Uh, hey, he said he wanted
your number; I hope that"s okay.

You gave Padilla my cell?

Yeah, yeah. He said
he wanted to talk some more.

He seemed excited, right?

[grunts]

Don"t f*ck this up by getting
into sh*t you don"t understand!

You gave out my number?

Now I gotta be
on guard everywhere?

Let me play this my way.

Don"t f*ck this up.
It"s too big for me.

Hey, David, that cool?

Oh, yeah. That"s fine.

Okay.

- You okay?

Apologies, just expecting a
really important client to call.

Still on work hours?

So I guess yoga is a no?

Oh, yeah, my bad, I stopped
at my mom"s real quick.

- Definitely don"t want to be thinking about work here.
- Why, what"s work?

The redevelopment
of the spot I grew up in.

I"m not sure
they gonna see it the same.

David, just cut them some slack.

Explain it to "em.

David?

You gonna help me

[chuckles] How do you ask?

[chuckles]

Just "cause your daddy show up,

Then why is it called
"Robin"s Nest"?

[laughs] - [Gloria] Get your

And don"t let Ashok do all them
problems, he supposed to help.

J, are you doing
the math sets with her?

She do "em with you.

Rocket scientist, me.

You and Trisha

- Ma, "C"s are...
- Cousins to "D"s.

David, what"s this? How you?
Ooh, you look tired.

JG, stop harassing him
on the way to work.

He ain"t gotta ride with you
to work all the time.

David, would you ride

- Please?
- Tell him.

Don"t start on Trish.

Dani Yelle, get online.

See if we can make
a Met Gala something!

[sighs]

You all right?

I"m good. How you?

[sighs] I"m tired as f*ck.

Running these kids
all around town is draining.

And I be glad when we won"t

We just cut "em loose.

- Okay.

and the foundation that manages the charity,
they think we could do better up north.

There"s a whole lot of kids up there crossing
that corridor between Orlando and Miami.

So y"all gonna stop fostering?

No. Boy! No.
You know your mama would never.

She said after your friend,
Seren, she just...

She gonna always wanna make
a space for kids like that.

And it"s getting bougie
around here. It"s hard.

It"s hard to make the pickneys
we do got feel welcomed.

I hear you. You know,
I was thinking when I walked...

You know, the other day I got
a courtesy lot upkeep letter.

In East Little Havana.

Now, you got all these people

But we getting a citation

And Ma"s okay with it?

[sighs] I can"t believe

Ah, it"s okay.
I mean, she"ll tell...

Hey, David.

[clears throat]

[hip hop music playing]

[Elijah] Not everything is fine in here.
I"m talking about the ones outside.

[JG]
Okay, Elijah, what did you hear?

[Elijah] I heard a loud noise.
And you know these kids.

[JG] What kind of a noise?
A different noise or the same?

[Elijah] Will, you just

Ooh, thank you, these gonna

Just go down there. I know it"s

Just go over there and talk to them about the
bird and the bees before they start acting crazy.

Elijah, this ain"t
even my jurisdiction.

Ain"t you supposed
to serve and protect?

The Ville ain"t even my area.

Okay, now, come on, you know
I just came to see you.

That"s a lie, David.
You know damn well...

I"m JG.

You know what I meant.

Gloria"s kid.

Jonathan Greg.

Thank you.
I"ll give you the rest later.

I don"t want your money,
Elijah. I want you to be safe.

Now, you go inside

And you stop calling me every
time someone break a window.

[chuckles]

You a gentleman.

I try.

Just go down there and look.

[TV playing]

Have you lost your mind?

Shella, Mx. Elijah told me
to come and talk to you.

See, look what you...

- Oh, yeah?

You trying to have

It"s for my old girl. You know

They say the cannabis

It does.
Oh, let me get her a bottle.

- Okay.
- Oh. I"ll be back.

Shella, I can"t come in?

Nope, "cause I keep

[dramatic music playing]

I need some help! Please!

[screams]

[distant siren wails]

[indistinct P.A. announcement]

We weird.

[door opens]

Okay.

We got some good news.

J.G. is breathing
on his own.

We can"t see him right now
because he is in intensive care.

They are... They believe
they will have to operate,

- but that can"t be determined...
- [ringing sound]

...until they"ve ran some scans.

- The good news is...
- [ringing sound]

The good news is,

they don"t think the b*llet
hit any vital organs,

but there"s still some
internal bleeding,

and they have to find out where.

He"s not awake,
but he"s still with us.

That"s all we know, Trenise.

[ringing sound]

David?

[soft laughter]

- Hey!
- [shouting]

[door opens]

[Gloria speaking indistinctly]

[beep]

[indistinct P.A. announcement]

[Gloria] No.

Thank you.

You know what?
You right.

I appreciate that,
but my son is in I.C.U.,

and I"m here,
so we gon" deal with that.

Good night.

[phone beeps]

I"m sorry you had to hear
all that.

She just... she just
worried about J.G. too.

She might be right, Ma.

I mean, yeah,
she right to worry,

but, David, don"t.

Your brother...

you know your brother
is a fighter.

She"s just worried about you.

I mean, she"s right to be.

[exhales]
I"m okay.

I am.

I"m okay.

I would love for them
to turn that A.C. up in here.

I thought hospitals
supposed to be cold.

But this kind of stress, Ma,
might not be good for you.

I mean... chaos and boredom?

What?

I"m just sayin', I just
want to make sure you"re good.

I mean, this whole thing
could be really triggering.

Go home, David.

- Ma, wait.
- Go home!

You really bringin" up
me bein" an addict now?

Right now? In case I,
what, forgot?

I remember every day
that I wasn"t there for y'all.

It"s on my heart.

It"s on my hands, David.

I am sorry for those times
but, for the record,

I have been clean 15 years.

One-five.

But you wouldn"t remember that

because every time we celebrate
something, you got work.

Just go home.
Huh.

David, we have
all changed, baby.

We have... me, your brother.

It"s you that's the same.

And I... I know that"s scary.

You had to do a lot of
growing up quick,

but you got
a chance here to see

that the world has changed
before it"s too...

Huh. Go on home.

Go home, David.

Go find you some calm.

[ringing sound]

[Trisha]
David!

[respirator pumping]

Go back!

[steady droplets fall]

[soft moans]

[soft moans continue]

[David]
Happy?

[soft chuckle]
So far.

Nice?

Yes.

Now rough?

Yes, please.

[soft moan]

You like that?

[soft moans]

You know you can come in.

No, thank you.

[soft sigh]
Well, that was new.

The coaching.

Oh. You mean
that was cool?

I liked it.
It"s just...

trying new things on me now?

Coaching orgasms...

sex on sheetless beds.

[soft chuckle]

My bad. Sorry, I...

I picked up
some new ones, but...

I didn"t get a chance
to put "em on.

You met me at the door.

What happened to the old ones?

Sweated them out.

You and whom else?

Me. Just me.

Hm.

Mm-hmm.

[chuckles]
What?

I know you be bringin"
other girls through here.

There is no other girls.

I mean...
unless you into that.

But I"m not cheating.

Okay, first of all,
relax your eyebrows.

Who said cheating?

I"m open. You're open.

We"re open, until we
decide to be closed.

This a trap?

[soft laughter]

Not unless
you want to get caught.

Just be honest.

Did you tell them?

Your family,
about the redevelopment?

I mean, it won"t be
for a while, anyway.

And you"re
in there somewhere.

It"s sweet
when you come out.

My breath tastes like d*ck.

Text me when you get home.

Yeah? So you can let your other girl
know that it"s safe to come through?

- What?
- Or other guy.

- Wild.
- Ha!

David Young"s a freak.

Good night, Nicole.

Bye.

[muted laughter]

Call Ma.

[phone ringing]

[Gloria]
Hello?

Hey, Ma, you still there?

- Yeah, still here.
- Yeah, how is he?

We haven"t heard
anything new.

- That"s a good thing, I guess.
- Okay.

I promise, I will call you
as soon as I hear anything.

I"m about to go to bed. I just
wanted to call and make sure.

[no audible dialogue]

Look, I"m praying.

I know, baby.
Thank you.

- I love you.
- I love you too.

Okay, let me get back
in case the doctor comes.

Hey, Ma, look,
I"m sorry about earlier.

I was...

Hello?

Hello?

[ethereal music playing]

[soft exhalation]

[lightly percussive
jazz music playing]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[cell phone rings]

Hello?

Hey.

Thanks for coming.

I have a choice?

What?

At work you"re accommodating,

but at home...
private, guarded?

[sighs]

What you drink?

I don"t.

Ah, I"ve heard that.

That can"t be why you
called me up here, Mr. Padilla.

Joe.

That can"t be why
you called my private line

at 3:00 a.m., Mr. Padilla.

That plan today...

bold as brass.

Risky.

It"ll work.

How?

I"ll make it work.

I believe that.

Question is... why?

What do you want?

- We all want...
- No, no, no, no, no, no.

Not we.

You.

What do you want?

I can"t tell.

I can"t tell
if you don"t know, or...

just aren"t saying.

I want to do my job.

That"s a lie.

You don"t present a plan
like that,

selling out the place
you grew up...

It"s not easy.

[laughs]
That"s right.

That"s right, it's not.

You could easily have
let me waste my money

for six years
fighting city hall

on a plan that eventually
would have gotten done.

But you knew better.

You still can,
if that"s what you want.

Mmm... not what I asked.

I"ll start.

It"s true.

I want to be mayor.

I want a legacy,

right here in Miami.

Nepotism and shortsightedness

have made this place almost
un-f*cking-tenable for business.

And they don"t get it.

The commissioners,
the mayors,

they don"t get it.

In order for business to...

just to stay here,

business needs to live here.

People have to want
to put down roots...

not just party.

You do that

by investing
in longevity.

Infrastructure.

For me to win mayor...

people need to see progress.

Quick, bold progress.

And your plan can get them to
notice without buying attention.

I want that.

I do.

That"s what I want.

What do you want, son?

- I want to do that for you.
- Why?

"Cause I want to make
partner at Edwards.

[laughter]

Edwards don"t know
sh*t from shine.

Otherwise, he would have never
let you run that meeting.

And I"m hoping you do
know the difference.

You know I do.

How "bout if you do this?

If it comes to pass
exactly as you predicted...

I become mayor...

you resign from Edwards.

[chuckles]
And why would I do that?

You have to quit
in order for me to appoint you

county executive.

Fair?

Nothing"s fair.

[Padilla chuckles]

Barrel of oranges.

[both chuckle]

So, am I hired?

Until you are fired.

Let"s see if you have more

than just vision.

An officer was shot
out there tonight.

In the Ville.

All over the news.

Think it can hurt us?

What we are doing.

No.

Good.

Good night, David.

Buenas noches.
