MARK: Life is about the choices we make.
The foods we eat. The clothes we buy.
Even the people we love.
Because love isn't just a feeling.
In any given moment, you can make
the best decision for your life or the worst one.
But when temptation comes, and it will come,
will you make a difference choice?
Ultimately you may have to choose
who you love more: that other person or yourself.

The evidence on this drive will show that my client
Randall Jarvis is not guilty of a heinous murder.
He exhibited a clear display of self-defense.
Mrs. Jarvis attacked my client, unprovoked,
and made several attempts to stab him,
which threatened his imminent death.
He reacted in fear of his life.
And, unfortunately, this was the end result.
Actions that are protected under the law.
When you watch this, I want you to really think
about what you're seeing.
And ask yourself this:
if someone is wielding a knife at you,
how would you react?
Thank you.
[reporters clamoring]
Do you have a comment, please?
Mr. McCullough, this is Cecilia from Duke's Dirt.
How does this win affect your investigation?
This win has nothing to do with that.
This is to get an innocent man out of prison.
It was justice, fair and square.
This is Blake English with The California Daily.
Mr. Jarvis, how does it feel now that you are a free man?
Feels great. It's been a long couple of months.
I just wanna thank my brilliant attorney
for bringing the truth to light so I can put this behind me.
What's next for you, Mr. Jarvis?
Well, I can't give you all my secrets,
but I have some business ventures in the works,
and a huge announcement coming soon,
but for now I'm just gonna get myself
a hot meal and a warm shower. Thank you.
- [reporters clamoring] - [phone ringing]
Hey... I can't really talk right now.
Oh, sweetie pie, you want to hear this.
- Mark is in town. - Why? Does he have Zoe?
I don't know, but he's staying at a hotel in Pasadena.
I don't know why the hell he wouldn't tell me
- he was coming. - Does that even matter?
All I know is you need to get over to Pasadena
and straighten this shit out.
Okay. Text me the address.
The goddess Isis returns.
Hi.
I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for me.
You could start by giving me
an advanced copy of your next book.
Oh, did you read the first one already?
Devoured it. It felt like
I understood every word you wrote.
I don't think anyone has ever gotten it
like you did and put it in such obvious perspective.
Well, I'm glad it resonated with you.
And I got you on the next one.
I mean, I'm already working on it so...
- Got to keep your fans happy. - Yeah...
"happy" is not the adjective I would use.
You know, I would say something more along the lines of keeping
- my people nourished. - Mm.
I'm sure a lot of people have tons of questions
- about your arrest. - That is very true.
The people are very hungry for the knowledge
that I've obtained since my arrest.
So time is money. What's up?
I've received some troubling information recently.
Stuff that ties you to an underground extremist group.
Have you heard of the Black Fish Tribe?
"Have I heard of the Black Fish tribe?"
I mean, what are they saying now?
Am I planning to kill the president
- or kidnap the first lady? - More like the senator.
Oh, my God. No, not Senator Barclay.
[laughing]
God forbid someone does something
to the master Of all the Black folks
here in California. Let me guess:
some white person grabbed all this stuff
off the Internet and threw it in your face.
- How'd you know? - I thought you read my book.
I outlined that blueprint in the very first chapter.
First step towards discrediting our movement
is discrediting our leaders.
So I don't have anything to worry about then?
Remember, we have attorney- client privilege here.
The real question is, what are you willing to do
to eliminate this influence from your life?
I quit working for Lacey.
So I won't be around that person
on a regular basis anymore.
No-no-no-no,
I didn't say "avoid." I said "eliminate."
See, violence is a man recreating himself.
It's the only language that our oppressor
truly understands.
So, counselor, what kind of violence
are you willing to inflict for your rebirth?
- Hello? - Hey, how are you doing?
- Just checking in. - Did everything work out?
Well, we'll see.
- Is Zoe around? - Yeah, she's right here.
Hold on.
- ZOE: Hey, Daddy. - Hey, baby.
I'm just out here taking care of a few things.
Is Mommy with you?
No, baby, listen.
Mommy's not with me.
Can you go get her? I miss her.
Hey, listen, when I get back,
we're going to have a long talk about Mommy, okay?
Just you and me.
I promise.
Okay! Love you.
I love you, too, baby.
TONY: "And although the long term impacts
"of Alphonso Triplett's release
"is still yet to be seen,
"one thing is for certain:
"his partnership with attorney Britney Deveaux
"positions him as the leading civil rights advocate
for Los Angeles's Black and brown populations."
Brava, Britney. It pays to have friends
- in the media, doesn't it? - [coughs]
- Excuse me? - I know about you and Terrence.
Smart move, having one of his friends
write this article, too.
Don't want anyone to catch on.
We all need our own secrets, don't we?
Indeed.
I want to discuss a new endeavor.
I'm starting a resource center
and a legal aid foundation
for those in our community who can't afford an attorney.
We had it in the works before I went away.
The South LA
Community Resource Center.
Justice through Faith.
The 501[c][3] is filed,
and we just secured office space,
as you can see.
All you have to do
is commit to the work you love.
What do you think?
This is amazing. Like, this, everything.
[laughing] Indeed.
And it will be.
Please don't take this the wrong way,
Miss McCullough, but does Lacey know about this?
My resignation is fresh from the firm,
and I don't want to create any discord within the family.
Don't worry.
We have enough discord as it is.
You know...
I still can't believe Lacey would let you leave.
You're the most valuable player she has
over in that makeshift office of hers.
Yeah, I wouldn't know.
- Really? - I've never been.
Sounds like it's time for a field trip.
- Follow me. - Yes, ma'am.
[ominous music]
- Tell me this wasn't your idea. - I had nothing to do with this.
- Did you know about this? - No.
What a nice... surprise.
Should have told your sister you were coming through.
I'm free to roam the earth as I please, Dee.
Even though Miss Deveaux decided
to part ways with my daughter's firm,
I thought it was important for her to see
the diligent work you all have been putting in.
Give her motivation for her own personal endeavors.
- Isn't that right, Britney? - Yes.
Motivation, indeed.
Why don't I take you on a walking tour?
I think I'll take myself.
Sis...
now, I know you feeling yourself since you out and all,
but Lacey specifically asked for Britney not to be here,
and I doubt if she changed her mind.
D, Lacey's approval was
a necessary evil during my incarceration.
- Not anymore. - I don't get it.
What is going on with you and Lacey?
I just think it's time that I reclaim my power.
That's it. That's all.
I saw her making a mess
when I was on the inside,
ruining everything we've built,
and I'll be damned if I continue to allow that to happen.
She is doing the best she can.
She is not you, Tony.
Exactly. She is not me.
I love my daughter with everything in me.
Sometimes that love means
protecting her against herself.
Is Lacey going to see it like that?
She doesn't have to like it,
nor does she have to understand it.
I did prison time for this family,
so Lacey nor anyone else
can tell me what I won't do
to protect the McCullough name or reputation.
Period, pooh.
[distant sirens]
You know, you came a long way since you first met Lacey.
That's what hard work does.
And some backstabbing.
Let's be real. But don't worry.
That nonsense you found connecting Alphonso
to the Black Fish Tribe was flimsy at best.
Besides, he has public opinion on his side,
and no one will care.
Yeah, well, that nonsense is way above your head.
I don't expect you to understand.
- Hm. - I wasn't trying
to fuck you over.
It sure did look that way.
Okay. Like I said,
you wouldn't understand.
Congratulations on winning his case anyway.
It's good to see you finally did something useful for Lacey.
You know, I read his book.
It's a great read if you get a chance.
He doesn't spend a lot of time on the whole
antiracist thing, but he does think
that it's a ploy by white liberals
to ingratiate themselves into black culture.
- Come on. - He also says
that those who's closest to you
serve the biggest threat.
So, if I were you, I'd be more concerned
with what's going on in this warehouse,
versus what Britney's doing.
I don't work here anymore.
She went off campus to meet her boyfriend
in some fancy, rich lake house in Big Bear
the night of homecoming.
He had a ton of money.
Bought her all kinds of jewelry.
She used to wear this...
little silly ladybug necklace
he got for her whenever I was around.
Dad, it's Chelsea... Ladybug.
Have a great day at school, ladybug.
Boo-yah! You can't teach talent like that.
Boy looks like Al B. Sure, got a jumper like Trae Young.
[laughing]
At Game Breakers Sports Management,
our vision is simple: we wanna help
the best athletes get the deals they deserve
and set them up to expand outside of sports
- the moment they sign with us. - And that's exactly why
I signed with Game Breakers Sports Management.
Y'all know what he can do.
But my son is more than just a gifted athlete.
Sure, he can throw it down,
got a sweet jumper, post game,
and a high basketball IQ.
But more importantly,
he wants to use his global status
to bring generational wealth
into the Black community.
Cecilia from Duke's Dirt. Randall, how long
have you been planning all of this?
And how did you put it all together
- while you were in prison? - Well, actually,
while Randall was away, I was the one who was
spearheading everything to lead up--
Come on, now, y'all. Y'all know my mentality.
When am I never not working?
I like to think of myself as the late, great
Muhammad Ali. Peace and blessing be upon him.
They tried to lock him up just like they locked me up.
And even then, they couldn't stop me.
- [laughter] - Really?
You're not seriously considering that offer?
Ssh. This is important.
[laughing] Fine.
I'm gonna spend some money,
take me to Fredo's. I need a new something.
I mean, who could blame him, right?
Daniel, now that you've landed Savoy Austin,
do you expect to attract more top prospects?
Yeah, that was always the plan.
But first, what we want to do is--
Work out the competition.
That's what we do at Game Breakers Sports.
That's what I've always done.
Come on, you all know me.
I make miracles happen, baby.
Randall, did you ever expect a few months back
that you'd be here or out of prison at all?
What was going through your mind back then?
Randall, are you at all concerned that circumstances
surrounding your incarceration
may have negative effects on your business dealings?
Of course not. I was wrongfully convicted,
but justice was served.
I'll humor you.
Um, what happened, I would hope,
would preserve all of our faith
in the American judicial system.
I just want to go on the record right now and say
I'm happy to be an American. God bless America.
But I also want to serve as a source of inspiration
to not only my community but to all of my clients
about being persistent and rising like
a phoenix from the ashes in the midst of adversity.
So I wanna let everybody know, the King is back.
I'm back on my throne, and Game Breaker Sports will
rule the day. Savoy Austin, y'all.
Randall, are you at all concerned
about the rise of those ashes
regarding you and your partner's past criminal history--
No-no-no-no, let me stop you right there.
Those charges against Daniel were all dropped.
He's innocent, like me.
Look, I am personally going to mentor
this young man and take him under my wing.
And I can guarantee you all right here, right now,
you know, in a couple of years,
he'll be the number two agent in all the game,
right behind me, of course.
Now, I got a business to run.
It won't run itself. I got deals to make.
Okay, let's take some pictures now.
- All right. - [cameras snapping]
[cameras snapping]
[soft chatter]
I was saying something similar...
actually, excuse me one second.
- Thank you so much. - Yeah, I saw you.
All right then. Hey, look, you and me now,
you ain't got to worry about nothing.
You call me if you need something.
Yeah, yeah. I'mma head out.
- All right, baby. - Savoy...
Yeah? Hey, I'm great, baby.
Great work out there. I'mma holler at ya.
You see that? See that look of ungratefulness?
I'm out here dancing for these reporters and shit.
And he's standing in the corner, looking somebody stole
his fucking bike. Nick, what the fuck is wrong
- with your face? - What's wrong with you, nigga?
What was all that shit at the press conference?
"I'm always working. I'm always working."
This nigga look like Al B. Sure? You Muhammad Ali?
When did Muhammad Ali kill his fucking wife?
It's called being media savvy, okay? Maybe if you keep
your mouth closed, you might learn something, little nigga.
Yo, if it wasn't for me, your ass would still be sitting
in the fucking jail right now, all right?
You can show me some motherfucking respect in here.
It's all right.
Now, I really appreciate
what you and your sister did for me.
I really do, gettin' me out of jail and shit.
This little bullshit you just pulled,
don't ever do that shit again.
If you try and boss up on me like that,
there's gonna be some real motherfucking consequences.
You understand me?
Ssh.
Just get the fuck up out of before I do
something I might regret.
[muttering to self]
[phone dialing]
[phone ringing]
- Hello? - Hey.
You're not gonna believe this shit.
- What? - Tony brought her
into the warehouse.
What the hell? Why would she...
I'll just stop by myself. I'll be there in a few.
Okay.
So I see your little girlfriend has
managed to weasel her way back in.
- Nora, not today. - No, not today?
Oh, what about tomorrow?
Or will you still be busy chasing after Britney?
We are not having this discussion.
Whatever I do or don't do with Britney
has nothing to do with you.
Therefore it is none of your concern.
None of my concern?
Okay, so just damn your sister, right?
I have had your back when no one else has.
I'm trying to protect you.
And you spending all that time with her isn't good.
Isn't good for who, though?
For you?
Are you kidding?
In case you've forgotten, do you remember
you had to cover a body for her?
That reporter's disappearance is all over the news.
If it links back to Britney, it links back to you.
You need to cut ties with her. It is too dangerous.
Whoever this is, whatever this is you're doing,
it's not a good look for you.
You need to let that go. Excuse me.
AARON: Wow.
Fucking son of a bitch.
- You wanted to see me? - Boy, stop being formal,
and get your ass over here.
- What's going on? - Nothing.
Oh, so you're just gonna stand there in my face
and lie?
You know better than that. I'm worried.
This isn't like you.
Sneaking around, lying about
going to parties. What's really going on?
Mom, it's not that serious.
All right, we had a small little problem,
but it's taken care of now, all right?
- We handled it. - Benjamin, please.
Whatever this is, you know I can fix it.
But if you wait, I can't promise to protect you. Tell me.
Does this have anything to do with that little girl, Britney?
Why would you think it has something to do with Britney?
Because you like her, that's why.
- No, I don't. - And I find it mighty strange
that that reporter she's dating is missing.
Yeah, uh-huh, it's all over the news.
Do you know anything about that?
No, I don't.
Oh, he know something about that.
Hey.
Hey, I'm gonna have to call you back.
- Have you seen my mom? - She and Britney already left.
Damn it. Why did she bring her here?
Child, you know Tony gonna do what Tony wants to do.
I know. That's the damn problem.
Listen, I wanted to give you a heads up.
You know that reporter Britney was dating?
His disappearance is all over the news.
I heard. What does that have to do with me?
Uh, just the fact that he was dating Britney,
and now he's nowhere to be found.
Now, I can't say what's going on.
I'm just trying to make sure she don't bring
her personal problems all up in here.
Technically, she doesn't even work here anymore,
so whatever Britney's into, she's on her own.
I get what you're saying,
but folks are asking questions,
and they digging around trying to find out
what happened to him. And if there's foul play
and they link it back to Britney,
they can link it back to you.
Look, I have to go.
I'll have the twins look into this.
Let me know if we find anything.
I will.
- [phone ringing] - What is it?
That nigga's on some bullshit.
What are you talking about?
Randall. After everything
we did to get him out, this motherfucker's
out here acting like he's the one who got
all this shit done for Savoy. Acting like it all came
from his mind and how this was all his idea.
Get the fuck out of here.
He's not giving me any credit, Lace.
Should have left his bitch ass in jail.
That is your business partner, Daniel. Remember?
You and Mom made that abundantly clear
with this little business venture of yours.
I know, I know,
but I wasn't expecting him to be on this type
of power trip, right?
Like, how can I make this shit stop?
Like, legally speaking, he can't... do that, right?
Look, maybe it's best that you just let him
take the lead on this anyway.
This is his expertise.
What damn difference does it make?
You wanted your sports agency, you got it.
You wanted Randall out, you got it.
You wanted Savoy, you got him.
This shit's not fucking fair, Lace.
I'm the one who did all the fucking work.
Oh fucking well. Such is life.
This is your business.
So handle it.
Fuck!
[soft chatter]
[romantic piano playing]
You look lovely.
You know, I could get used to this.
Us, together, out in public.
It's nice. It's very nice.
So, now that we're here,
will you finally tell me why?
You are looking at the next chief of police for the LAPD.
- Really? - Yeah.
I mean, the police commissioner has already signed off on it,
and I'm just waiting on the city council vote,
which I've been told is all but done.
Wow.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
You know, this... this job,
it carries with it two five-year terms.
That could really...
Sasha, that could lay the foundation
for a normal life.
Normal relationship.
Normal would be nice right now.
I really needed this.
Shit's getting crazy with Lacey.
Crazy how?
Today Tony brought Britney by the warehouse.
- Lacey didn't even know. - What the fuck?
Right?
I don't know what's going on between them,
but I'm not trying to get in the middle
of this little family drama.
It's fucking exhausting.
Think you need to talk to Lacey about it?
[sighing] I don't know. Maybe.
- [phone ringing] - Oh, sorry.
Um, sorry, I need to get this.
Hello?
How did you-- wait, you're where?
Okay, just stay there.
No, don't do anything. I'll be right there.
I'm sorry.
It's an emergency. I have to go.
Sasha, whatever it is, Lacey, she can wait.
Warren, it's not Lacey, okay?
I'm sorry, look...
this was great.
Let's do this again.
I'll call you soon.
♪ The rhythm♪
♪ As pure as the...♪♪
Daniel, need a ride?
Ride share prices are a bitch these days.
Got my own business now, Frank.
- I can afford it. - I heard about that.
Savoy Austin's a big catch.
- Congratulations. - Well, thank you.
If you're smart, you'll draft him number one.
Then maybe the fans will forget about
Trent Murphy OD-ing in your living room.
Maybe you should draft Savoy yourself.
I saw your face in the press conference.
I've been in a lot of negotiations to know
when someone's pissed off. So how about this?
You run the Cheetahs player personnel department
for me, and I make sure
no assholes like Randall get in your way.
It'll be your own outfit, top to bottom.
And you would trust me with all of that?
Even after everything that happened with your wife?
Absolutely.
This is about money, Daniel.
Anyone who can land a big time talent
like Savoy Austin is someone
I need on my side. You're not convinced?
By the time we get to your place, I'll fuck off.
Well, the ride apps have been fucking up.
Let's see what you got to say.
Shit.
Your wife's not gonna be in here, right?
Let's find out.
- You can't be serious. - Well, it's a small ask.
I'm not gonna stand here and let you blackmail me.
Alexandra, no one's blackmailing you.
It's Sasha!
I stopped going by that name after you abandoned me.
Look, you send me a little money every month.
And your secret's safe with me.
How much?
Eh, $5,000.
- There's no way. - What, you expect me
to live on Social Security?
I can't.
Now's not a good time.
- Warren, please. - Yo.
- Warren! - I don't know who you are,
but you got about ten seconds to get up--
What, am I supposed to be afraid of you, big man?
I don't care what you gotta be, man-- get out the way.
- [overlapping shouting] - Fuck you, man.
- Warren, stop! Stop! - Shut up!
Stop it! Warren, that's enough.
[Sloan muttering]
I thought you was done turning these tricks.
- It's not what you think. - Then who the fuck is that?
Who is that, Sasha?
- Who is that? - My father!
That's my father.
Honestly, I never thought I'd see him again.
It's been years since I left Bakersfield.
Apparently, he watched me
during Lacey's press conference and saw dollar signs.
Why didn't you ever tell me you was adopted?
A white girl adopted by a Black family?
How far do you think that story would have gotten me in life?
My foster parents moved us to Atlanta
when I was in middle school.
Nobody asked questions.
Everyone just thought I was fair-skinned.
My parents told me to ride it through,
see where it takes me.
I got a scholarship to an HBCU.
I even made a bounce in Magic City to pay the rent.
[laughing]
The whole time I was living a lie.
And now you know. I'm a fraud.
Been waiting a long time for you to be
completely honest with me.
Because I can't have any secrets
with the woman that I wanna spend the rest of my life with.
[R&B instrumental]
[sighing]
[sighing, moaning]
Right this way, Mr. Ericsson.
[knocking on door]
One minute.
Here, uh...
LACEY: May I come in?
- I was just leaving. - Please.
Zoe's not here.
I left her with my dad.
Why did you come back to LA, Mark?
That's none of your business.
Okay, you're right.
But I would think that, like, you would at least,
I don't know, call me if you were coming to town.
For what?
Because I'm still your wife.
- And that would mean I would-- - Mark!
--wanna see you, right?
Okay, listen. I made a mistake.
Okay?
I can't take back what I did,
and I can't change what I should have done.
Okay? But knowing that I hurt you
- is killing me inside. - Lacey.
Othello? Why Othello, Lacey?
It wasn't a you-versus-Othello thing.
He and I just have a history.
You know, that night just happened, okay?
Neither one of us was prepared to get pregnant,
and so we needed a good father.
So why didn't you tell me?
Why didn't you just tell me it was Othello?
Why would you keep that from me, Lacey?
Because at the time, I thought it was
- best for everyone. - Best for everyone?
- Yes, everyone! - Everyone, Lacey, huh?
Or best for you?
No.
As far as I'm concerned, you've always been
Zoe's father, in every sense of the word.
Why would I disrupt that or make you feel uncomfortable
because Othello and I worked together?
I was wrong, Mark. I'm sorry.
I'm not perfect.
Knowing what I know now,
how much my actions
and what I did affected you and our family,
I would take it back in a heartbeat if I could.
So you wouldn't cheat on me?
I didn't cheat on you.
So what the hell do you call the kiss then?
A kiss.
I never had sex with anybody else.
So that's the extent of it?
Not fucking? A kiss?
Never mind the intimacy with you and another man.
No, never mind that.
Never mind the emotional connection
that you had with a man that you still
have feelings for, by the way.
So you think that this is okay?
No.
So, imagine...
imagine if you caught me kissing my assistant Kendra.
How would you feel?
Would you forgive and forget so easily?
Or maybe if she had my baby, how would you feel, Lacey?
You still don't think you did anything wrong, do you?
I do. It was a mistake.
Mark-- Mark!
I love you.
I want to be with you,
not Othello.
When you sent me those divorce papers,
it broke my heart.
I want to fight for us,
for our marriage, for our family.
You and Zoe are the best parts of me.
I'm sorry.
That I can't be the man
that you really, really want.
I'm so sorry.
I swear, I will spend
the rest of my life making it up to you.
I need you.
You know...
I knew I was never the one for you.
But somewhere...
deep inside, I always believed
that you would love me...
half as much as I love you.
I do.

AARON: I don't think Alphonso's what he says he is.
- I trust him. - Okay, so you believe him?
I have no choice but to.
Alphonso is a tough nut to crack.
But I do think he's a man of integrity at his core.
What about Terrence? What about him?
His name is all in the news. His disappearance?
Yeah. Good thing he ain't coming back, right?
- I'm serious. - Listen, it's over with.
It's done.
Nothing to worry about.
How can you get so used to this?
I mean, it's not that difficult, really.
Trust me. It gets much easier.
The first one is always tough.
But then it gets easier
and easier until you don't feel anything at all.
Easier and easier.
Is that the big secret? Is that what you do for Lacey?
I do whatever needs to be done for Lacey.
And if that means handling something this delicate...
it's no question.
Just like I did for you.
I don't think I ever thanked you for your help.
You're welcome.
I'm sorry, but...
Nah-- it's not you, it's me, I'm sorry.
No, it's not.
It's just... it's too soon.
And everything's moving really fast for me right now.
I get it.
So, um...
Just keep me updated...
if you hear anything.
Okay? Deacon, I wanna try this for the service.
The history of mankind...
has been marked by vengeance.
Now, I don't want you to confuse that with revenge.
Now, when somebody wrongs you,
your spirit cries out for justice.
But I want to remind you,
let God
take up your vengeance.
I've decided the risk of being an informant
is no longer worth it.
Randall Jarvis's release doesn't change anything.
It changes everything.
You no longer have leverage,
and we have nothing else to discuss.
The Bible says, "Vengeance is mine,
sayeth the Lord."
You and I both know
you're withholding information.
Whatever it is, you're much safer
telling me than Lacey.
Or maybe I won't tell anyone.
REVEREND: God is a good God.
But also...
IfI'm withholding information.
But thank you for your concern,
but I think I'll take the risk.
God is a merciful God.
Our god is a forgiveness god.
[thunder rumbling]
What's up, man? Everything all right?
Yeah, I think it's my tire.
Do you really want Lacey's life?
All that anxiety that comes with wearing the crown,
constantly looking over your shoulder for your enemies.
So I want you to cast all your fears,
all your cares upon Him.
Get the fuck off me!
Because, make no mistake,
as soon as you step out of this car,
you can add my name to that list.
Well, I'll make sure it's at the very top.
- [groaning] - [both muttering]
Watch your head-- throw him in there.
Throw him in there, all right, go-go-go-go.
And let God... avenge for you.
Because our god is a god of justice.
