[DAVID] Thank you for seeing me.
I'm feeling much, much better.

Are you still seeing
images of your brother?

[g*n FIRING]

Hey, baby.

Homestead Village, just waiting
for the right opportunity.

My name is Marissa Eugene,

PA Associates is
ill-equipped to handle...

Mr. Young, do you have your survey?

We are still in the process of hiring.

- I accept.
- No, wait.

The Commission will suspend

- JG!
- It's good to be home.

[ALL EXCLAIMING]

- See, all this f*gg*t sh*t.
- At my house?

I think it's time for us to head home.

[JG] I'm gonna stay for a while.

[SHELLA] Jonathan Greg.

You can't get rid of me that easy.

The visions, they're a symptom of trauma

that hasn't been worked through.

You don't need it anymore.

[JESSOUP] We're experiencing
a high volume of calls.

Why? Is something happening
in the community

[JESSOUP] No, no, Miss Burke,
nothing like that.

We've just recently been inundated.

C'mon, Jessoup, this me.

It don't take nothing
for you to put pressure

Oh, well how about we just

You a liar. Ain't nobody tell

Okay, Mx. Elijah.

There wasn't no shade

You ain't got to get fresh with me

just 'cause I'm tryna tell

Where you want these

Move 'em to the right.

Damn.

A 'lil mo'.

No, they... Hold up, wait.

David? What you doing over here?

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

David?

David!

You just gonna stand there?

Damn, you still odd.

Huh. Yeah.

Look different?

Been years since you've
been over this way.

Ain't been that long.

You been here since Hertrude died.

[MX. ELIJAH LAUGHING]

Well, lookie here.

If it ain't the devil himself
come to pay us a visit.

Some would say prodigal son.

Well, ooh.

I'm glad you finally saw fit
to come around here, sir.

- Hi, Mx. Elijah.
- Hi, David.

Mm, Mr. Young.

As handsome as ever, ain't he, Shella?

- He a'ight.
- Mm.

I would hug you but I
don't know where you been.

How's Nicole?

How you know about that?

Oh, [SCOFFS] I gets all the tea.

Mm, you ain't seeing Tare no more. Mm.

Yeah, that's right,
Miss Glo, she keep me informed

on all things David.

[SHELLA] Mm-hmm. [CHUCKLES]

Wait here one second.

[SHELLA] Uh... Uh... Elijah,
don't come back down here.

I forgot... I'll be a second.

One second.

[SHELLA] Elijah, don't
be coming back down here...

- No, I just.
- I'll come up.

[MX. ELIJAH] I forgot something.
I'll be right back.

Bunion, shouldn't be coming
up and down them stairs.

What's that?

What?

In your hand.

Oh, the Ville's up for an upgrade.

Upgrade? What kinda upgrade?

The kind that's gonna make it
better for you to live here.

I thought you worked in urban planning.

- I do.
- Sounds more like construction.

It's redevelopment.

You mean G*ntrification.

Look... Look, I'm working
with a developer

who's gone help redevelop the Ville.

None of what you're saying
right now sounds good

for any of us already living here.

Look, before you jump all...

Jump all what?

Why are you really here, David?

- [MX. ELIJAH GROANING]
- Elijah.

Elijah? Elijah?

Oh, my God.

[DAVID] Elijah?

I'm fine.

- What happened?
- I'm fine.

I just slipped.

These damn stairs.

Just jumped right out
and tripped you, huh?

Yes, they did.

Let's get you upstairs.

I-I'm fine, I-I just lost my balance.

See. Look.

[MX. ELIJAH GROANS] Whoo.

That a scratch.

[SHELLA] Where's your alcohol?

Shella, now you know I don't drink.

Uh... Rubbing alcohol, Elijah.

Oh, right over there in
that medicine cabinet.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

I'ma grab some ice.

[GROANS SOFTLY]

When's the last time you went shopping?

Oh, don't worry about all that,
I can take care of it.

[SHELLA] There's no food in there.

Does it look like I'm hurting for food?

[MX. ELIJAH CHUCKLES]

'Sides, Jonathan Greg said he gone pick

- me up some groceries anyway.
- Mm.

Ooh, I need to call him.

You know if they got him out that coma?

They shouldn't have put him
under like that, no way.

Those doctors don't always
know what they doing.

He fine. He got out.

You don't remember me telling you?

'Course I remember.

How is he?

My grammie had a saying,

"God takes care of babies and fools."

That's JG up and down.

[SHELLA] Right?

[MX. ELIJAH] Mm.

Mm. You're one of the good ones.

I tell everybody.

Go ahead, ask 'em.

[CHUCKLES]

Hey.

It's gonna take damn near all day

for us to cover this property.

I had no idea it was
gonna be this expansive.

Sketch out the land, its boundaries,

and all the different elements
that make up the property.

What?

The exact definition
of your job, correct?

Yes, but...

Also do a map detailing
the property's legal boundaries,

provide a written
description of the property,

street address, locations
of the buildings

of adjacent properties
and any improvement

an investor can make to the land.

I leave anything out?

Nah, that's everything.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[MARISSA] Still do that thing, huh?

Staring off into space like you
got all the time in the world?

Sadly, I don't.

Can we get on with this?

Listen, when'd you stop liking me?

I don't not like you.

Though, at times, you've
given me plenty of reasons to.

I've been nothing but nice.

I mean, I invited you.

You're nice when you
want something, David.

Or when you've been caught off guard.

Didn't plan on having to
deal with land/water concerns

before you even drew plans, huh?

Surprise.

Yeah, you got me.

But I have nothing to hide...

You can stop. Science don't lie.

But people do.

What's all that yelling
going on down there?

We're not yelling.

This is how we communicate.

David, w-where all these men come from?

And trampling all up on my peonies.

Hey, sir, go around.

Please and thank you. Damn.

I told you, they're here
to survey the property.

They're here to redevelop
the entire property.

Tear it down and erect a luxury mall.

A mall? Ain't no room
for a mall around here.

That's the point, Elijah.

Ain't that right, David?

Elijah!

I guess I do got time today.

[TENSE MUSIC]

I can't believe you're
just gonna straight sell

us out like that.

Can I get a say, or no?

What you selling, Dai?

Bullshit.

That's not...

Look, look, let's start over.

You don't have to.

I know what you about.

I can see it.

Smell it.

Carrying your newly minted
bougie a*s to the Ville.

To the projects.

Flashing your pristine Nike Jays,

looking all concerned.

But I can see the calculations
in your head, sir.

Always have.

Listen...

Acting like you the Black savior

coming down off the mountaintop
to save us all.

That's not... Look, I ain't
come here to save anyone.

[SHELLA] Uh...

At least you admit it.

It's complicated.

Trust me on this.

How're we supposed to trust someone

hasn't been around in years.

You ain't got no problem
trusting somebody

who ain't never lived here.

You mean that hippie chick?

I don't trust her.

But she coming off a lot
more sincere than you.

[MX. ELIJAH] Dai...

is that why you stayed away for so long?

You don't get to come here
and disrupt our lives like this

and not expect pushback.

It's on.

See you later, Elijah.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

This how you take care
of the Ville, Dai?

[SCOFFS]

What's all this really about?

Best guess?

The upper middle-class
continues to build

and make strides west
into Broward County

which means the poor people
here need to make way.

By any means necessary.

Environment be damned.

And what's your stake in all this?

Underneath our feet
is the Biscayne Aquifer.

It flows like
an underground river, but slow.

Because this water supply
is so close to the surface,

it is highly susceptible
to contamination.

So pouring cement six feet
down to build a big a*s mall

would f*ck up the water we drink.

Exactly.

f*ck with Mother Earth and she
has a tendency to push back.

Yeah, but I can't worry
about the Earth just yet.

Not 'til I take care of my home
and my people first.

[TENSE MUSIC]

[MX. ELIJAH] Whew, bless you, David.

I constantly kept up on JG
about putting that fan in.

Mm.

No problem.

It's done now.

Ooh, I finally got me
some good air up in here.

Tell JG I don't need him.

Matter of fact, it's been
a minute since the last time

he come round here.

You don't remember?

- Shella ain't tell you?
- Tell me what?

No one tell me nothing no more.

Not so much no more.

Where are my manners?
Let me get you a glass of water.

You standing over there
in a puddle of sweat.

I'm good, Elijah. It's okay.

You sweating on my floor, sir.

Elijah, how you getting along?

It gets hard sometimes but
the kids, they look after me.

Mm-hmm.

Shella always fussing.

And JG, he come around.

I worry about him though.

I mean, whatever possessed
that boy to become a cop?

- I tried to tell him.
- [SCOFFS]

He can make a difference without b*ll*ts

whizzing past his ear.

Like you.

Mm-hmm.

Now I know you out there
making a difference.

And I'ma tell him too,
next time I see him.

Do more like David.

Mm-hmm.

[TAP WATER RUNNING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[SHELLA] We about to get started.

Okay, y'all.

Everybody sit down.

Shella, lookahere,
you don't have to make

any of these no more.

Uh... Thanks, Paul, now can you please.

[PAUL] Okay.

That is so silly.

[MS. CUEVA]
Shella, you talked to Andrea?

How's her boy Shalimar doing?

Unfortunately, not great.

Actually, I wanna
change the conversation

based off of what I just found out

from a few of our visitors today.

- Was that David I saw?
- Yep, that's him.

Looks like they plan
to tear down the Ville

and build a mall here.

The entire Ville?

But can they do that?

I don't know. I don't know.

But I plan to find out.

[WOMAN] That don't sound right, y'all.

Uh, look, y'all, this is our home.

- [WOMAN] That's right.
- [MAN] Yeah.

And other than the unfortunate incident

that happened between Shalimar and JG,

it's pretty much drama-free.

- [WOMAN] That's it.
- [MAN] Yeah.

But I guess the sh**ting gives
people the perfect excuse

to swoop in and deem the Ville blighted.

[WOMAN] She got a point.

And is David the one
heading up all this?

Far as I can see.

Like I get that your brother
got shot here,

but that don't mean you
should come up in here

- tearing down our sh*t...
- [MS. CUEVA] Shella.

[WOMAN] No.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, hold it.

We ain't got no money to go
up against the county on this.

- But you do have a voice.
- [MAN] That's what I'm sayin'.

And I got the time.

Okay, you right.

I'll be damned if I let
somebody like David Young

come up in here
and kick us outta our place.

Mm-hmm.

Unless he paying my rent
to live in Brickell,

- I'm staying put.
- All right.

Forget the county, what you
need to do is call his mama.

[ALL EXCLAIMING]

Call Glo, she don't play that.
She don't play that kinda game.

Okay.

Girl, use my phone to do it.

Here.

[TENSE MUSIC]

[locks door[

[CLANGING SOUNDS]

Jesus.

[CLANGING SOUND]

Sassy?

Smart? Don't play with me.

I'ma beat both y'all asses if
you scare the sh*t outta me.

- Oh!
- sh*t!

Bih, you don't even live here.

Look, I thought the dryers
were out of order.

Be glad it was me and not Ms. Cueva.

She would've shot both
of y'all nasty asses.

Ooh. Ooh

[DOOR SLAMS]

[SHELLA] He done lost his
damn mind, Miss Glo.

You need to talk some
sense into your son.

[GLORIA] Hello? Shella?

- Yeah.
- Oh, no. What's wrong?

Something happened to Jonathan Greg?

No. No. Oh, no.

I'm sorry, Miss Glo.

JG, he's good.

The other one, David.

What?

Yeah, he working with some
company about to tear us down.

And I ain't got that
kinda money to be moving...

Shella, slow down.

Dai says the Ville's being upgraded.

But then this save-the-whales
chick who over here studying

the dirt pops up talking
bout he really tearing

it down to make way
for some stupid-a*s mall.

A mall? Who building
a mall in Homestead?

That don't even sound right.

[SHELLA] The whales chick
say they gentrifying

over this way.

All the way out there?

Then I found him f*cking
on top of the dryer.

- Who?
- Dai and save-the-trees.

On the good dryer too, Miss Glo.

David?

[SHELLA] It's always
the weird ones is freaks.

Shella, I, I mean...

Whew, damn David.

He-He just, with Jonathan hurt
he got a lot on his mind.

I'll talk to him and get to
the bottom of everything.

Thanks, Miss Glo. Appreciate you.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

It's David.

[MX. ELIJAH] In here, David.

I just came to see if you need anything

before I head home.

Is this all you're eating?

It's all I'm hungry for.

I can go get you some food, Elijah.

Or maybe even order you something.

David, how long you been gone?

From here?

- Fifteen years.
- Exactly.

I'm still standing. Don't worry.

You're living your life,
I'm living mine.

I... I'll at least send over groceries.

Don't make promises you can't keep.

What do you mean?

I know you up to something.

Shella don't know you like I know you.

The last time you had a plan,

you got us out some serious sh*t.

Remember that?

Yeah.

So what's the plan here, sir?

I don't wanna hear no promises.

O-Okay.

Yeah, um. Okay.

Yeah, so, um,
the company I'm working for

is gonna demolish the Ville
and build condos.

Like, ultimately condos.

We're just using the mall
as a smoke screen

to draw some much needed
players to the field.

I wasn't expecting Marissa
and her crew to get involved

but, that's okay.

If I play this right,

and everything goes off without a hitch,

Elijah, I'm finally gonna
be in a position

to do some real good.

In a position where it matters
where the Ville is.

As right-hand man to the mayor
or maybe even something bigger.

And with the latitude to
make the kinda real moves

I've been wanting to make.

I mean, people seeing me, what I can do.

Including putting you in a place


with people taking care of you
for the rest of your life.

Maybe a place for all
the older folks in the Ville.

Now c'mon, doesn't
that sound good to you?

Boy, bye. You worried about all that?

You know you gonna make detective soon.

What happened to that?

Detective.

How long you been on the force?

Ooh, I gotta taste for some soup.

It surprised me.

They used to call you King David.

Sky's rightful successor.

Protector of the Ville.

And now you here
selling out your own people.

To get further, so we can
build something better.

By tearing it down?

This is my home. Used to be yours.

Yeah, well, that was a long time ago.

You get to come here
and destroy it then pretend

like it's somehow benefiting us?

Tomorrow I'm starting a petition

and I'm going straight to the board.

Get ready for a fight, Dai.

[CAR HORN HONKING]

Why you being all nasty

- Who is this hussy anyway?
- Marissa.

Marissa who?

From Middle school?

That nice girl from Galvin?

I-I thought you liked Nicole.

I did. I mean, I do.

And what about all this talk
about you tearing up the Ville?

Mom, I'm working with investors
to infuse money

back into that community.

David.

And when was the last time
you even saw Elijah?

Uh-uh, don't do that.
I see Elijah all the time.

They like to come and see the kids.

When is the last time
you visited them at their place?

In the Ville?

'Cause they not doing well.

What you mean?

He kept calling me JG.

Chile, I do that all the time
with all these kids up in here.

Barely any food in the fridge.

Place looks nothing like it used to.

Did you buy some groceries?

Wouldn't let me.

Taking the Ville away is not
going to make life better

for them, or you.

I didn't say it would for me.

But if I can make it so
they can go somewhere...

I mean, it's better than it is now.

I mean, living like that can't be easy.

I'm not saying the Ville is easy living

but it wasn't all bad.

There was fun and good times there too.

Sometimes those places
are the only places

holding you together.

Sometimes you need a place
to hold your memories.

You hated it? That much?

I knew you was an as*h*le, Dai.

But that's cold even for you.

Oh, here he go.

Trenise, grab your stuff
and come on. Let's go.

You ain't gotta yell, she been
listening behind the door

the whole time. Nosy, like her daddy.

[JG] So what, Dai?

You gonna personally
usher out Mx. Elijah?

Why you ain't tell me how Elijah been?

Ma, I told you I've
been checking in on them.

Hmm, need more than checking in on.

You couldn't even get groceries

when I was laid up,
shot in the hospital.

Wonder why we question you?

Come on, let's go.

Bye, Ma.

[GLORIA] Bye, baby. Be careful.

With Trish driving?

Bye, Grandma.

Bye, Uncle Dai.

Ma...

[GLORIA] David, I'm tired.
I'm going to bed.

We can talk more about this tomorrow.

Lock the door on the way out.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

I wasn't expecting to see you tonight.

I talked Trish into letting me
go get some groceries.

I needed some air.

David came by today.

I heard.

He finally put that fan in.

I've been done asked you
to put that in, JG.

I've been a little busy, Elijah.

You know, you could be
more like your brother.

Elijah, who here dropping
off groceries for you

and who the one tryna kick your a*s out?

- Outta where?
- Here.

You know what? That boy changed.

I told Gloria he should've went to

one of them Black universities.

Now he all uppity, talking about
he gone tear something down

and build it all up.

But, you know, I think
that boy up to something.

Maybe the old Dai,

but my brother's
not the same Dai you remember.

I guess.

Watch your back.

I'll be around more often
to check on you.

Bless you, Jonathan Greg.

Bye, Elijah.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

Hold on.

Hey, y'all cut that sh*t out.

Stop! Stop!

Move!

Hey, stop!

Stop!

[JG] Move!

[g*n FIRING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

JG?

Uh... You okay? Why you sweating?

Yeah, yeah, I'm-I'm fine.

I just ran down from Elijah's.

Brought them some groceries.

You didn't have to do that,
I told you I would.

You still recuperating.

Yeah, I know.
But I came to see you, too.

- Why?
- To thank you, again.

All your yelling got them
EMTs moving they asses

to get me to the hospital.

You woulda done the same for me.

All right, and I woulda threw
in some mouth-to-mouth, too.

Uh...

You know, just to ensure
that you'd be okay.

You are so dumb.

Don't play that sh*t down.

Better take your roses
while I'm givin' 'em out.

I'll take them, thank you.

So how you been?

I...

You gone think I'm crazy.

Oh, it's too late.

See?

I'm playing.

What?

The other day, I... I heard a sound.

Like a noise.

It brought me back to...

Yeah, ghosts.

It's a crazy thing.

I, um...

I don't know but seeing
you go down like that...

I know.

You scared the sh*t outta me.

You know me, I don't go down that easy.

I could see the fear in your eyes, JG.

[SHELLA SIGHS]

And now your brother coming around here,

threatening to kick us all out.

He says it's not what it is.

Now you defending him?

His little brother just
got shot over here.

I ain't feeling this place
much either these days.

When's the last time you heard

of someone sh**ting around here?

Shalimar was defending himself

against all those other n*gg*s
who've been sniffing him out.

So it's my fault I got shot?

No, but you not a victim either.

You just, you got caught up.

I didn't come here to get lectured.

Then what you come for?

To thank the person who saved my life.

But I can move on.

How's Shalimar?

Don't know.

His mama say his PD's
pushing him to plead guilty.

But you know how that go.

It's in the law's hands now.

He shot a cop.

Uh, how you think that's gonna go?

Like you said, he shot a cop.

He got scared and made a mistake

and now he gone pay for it
the rest of his life.

I got my own recovery to worry about.

[SCOFFS]

Could've been you back
in the day and you know it.

You stayed doing something stupid.
