Previously onTommy... The Hollywood Day Glow Spa

is a massage parlor in Carson.

A front for prostitution.

We've been trying to build cases

against not only the workers and the owners,

but the johns, too. It's just nice to see you all together.

I just sent you a report on the cases

we can put together.

Customers of the Day Glow Spa.

There's this guy

I've sort of been flirting with,

and now he wants

to take it up a notch.

How?

Weekend in Malibu?

That's a notch.

If I'm overstepping, I apologize.

And if you would like me to withdraw the invitation,

I will.I appreciate that.

Should I?

GPS is showing two hours to get downtown.

The PCH to the 10,

or the 101 to the 110.

Either way, it, it's a disaster.

What's the rush? Look at this view.

It's easy to be relaxed

when you have a car and a driver.

I have to be in South Central at 9:00

for an event, and if Uber's on time, I can get home,

change, and maybe make it.

Whose idea was Malibu?

It was mine. Isn't it beautiful?

Yeah. It is.

Whose house is this?

A friend. Come here.

Next time, if you have to be somewhere in the morning,

tell me. I'll make sure it's not a schlep.

What, why was that the wrong thing to say?

There's nothing about this situation

I need explained.

I understand why we need to be discreet.

I get why you can't tell me which donor gave you the keys

to this amazing house.But...?

I took a leap coming here. A pretty big one.

Blake, I enjoy talking to you so much

that I make up excuses to do it.

I was starting to doubt if I would ever be this happy again.

I'm not planning on moving on anytime soon.

That's my ride. I got to go.

Is this all your homework, honey?

Yes.Okay, good.

All right, why don't you go put your shoes on.

Henry is sending me the sweetest memes.

Look.

That's nice, I guess.

I am almost scared to say it,

but I feel like

we're turning a corner.

Honey, that's great.Yeah.

We haven't worked everything out as much as put it behind us,

but we decided we wouldn't get anywhere

if we kept rehashing the past.

Mm. Good. So you're just gonna move on?

Well, it's not a therapeutic approach

they endorse in grad school,

but it is working.

All right, I got to get to this thing

in South Central.

Oh, what are you doing?

We're trying to improve our relations

with the African-American community.

Well, good luck with that.

You've only got a hundred years of history to make up for.

Hey. Where's Blake?Running late.

She deputized me to be your guide.All right.

Reverend Wallace Twohy.

Minister at Bethlehem AME Church.

Very influential in the community.

Ah. Reverend Twohy. Abigail Thomas.

Ah, Chief Thomas. Thank you for coming.

It's a rare pleasure to welcome an LAPD chief

to the neighborhood.

Well, first of many visits, I hope.

Let me introduce you to some folk.

Hi, hello.This is Ms. Johnson...

Is it over? Did I miss it? Is she mad at me?

No, she barely noticed. Relax.

What happened?

What do you mean?

You're late. You're never late.

I, I overslept.

It could happen to anyone.Okay.

Yo!

Hey, my name's Vic.

I make music.

Now this is Crenshaw Complex.

It may not look like much now,

but when we're finished, this is gonna be a place

where our people can dream.

Our youth, and more.

Black-owned businesses will thrive here.

Now it took a lot, but we bought it. We own it.

This is ours.

Now I want to welcome up somebody who was with me

on every step of this journey. Coco? Come on up here, girl.

Hey, everyone. How's everyone doing today?

Thanks for coming out.

Now...

now most of you may know Coco as a singer.

But what you don't know is

she is an educational entrepreneur.

We're opening a charter school

that she has poured her heart and soul into.

Inaugural class enrolling now.

Hey, yeah, I got you.

Chief Thomas. Thanks for coming.

It's my pleasure, Mr. Mazy.

Uh, people like you have enormous influence,

and it's great to see you use it the way you do.

Influence? I don't know about that.

I can get people to stream a cut,

show up here, but you have power.

That's real.

Something on your mind?

The gang database.

LAPD's real quick to put a name on it,

very slow to take a name off.

This can be a problem for community members

trying to find a job. Start over.

Well, we get 16 gang-related crimes reported to us every day.

Some right here in this neighborhood.

Do you want us to do less?Not less.

Better. Some guys have been on that database for decades.

And you try to get off, they tell you you got to go to court.

Some of these people can't afford lawyers.

I have a list of names of people I'll vouch for.

Community members who aren't involved with gangs anymore.

I'm asking you directly. Can you help?

I'll take a look. I can't promise you anything.

I'll take that. Thank you.Nice to meet you.

We need to head back or the rest of your day's

gonna be a disaster.Okay.

Chief, did the LAPD endorse Vic Mazy and his business...Alan, Alan, Chief Thomas is here

to be with the community, not the press. Thank you.

Where was that?

Help! Help!

Call for an RA! Now!

All right.

All right. You're gonna be all right.We got this.

They're-they're on their way.

Stay with us.

Stay calm.

Hello, Jonathan.Buddy. Doug.

Sit, sit.

You know, I've never been quite sure about honeydew.

It's the color. It unsettles me.

But this is delicious, try some.

Thanks.

Jonathan, no offense, but I put off meeting

about 27 other people because Doug told me

you needed to talk to me right away, so here I am.

The city owns some properties

adjacent to the Crenshaw Complex project.

I have a mind to buy them.

Think we could make that happen?

Aw, Jonathan.

Now those properties are earmarked

for affordable housing,

transitional units for the homeless,

part of the homeless initiative.

Uh, it's a priority for us.

You know, it's legacy stuff.

I've got units down by the harbor.

I'll sell them to you for nothing,

and you can get your affordable housing,

and clean up.

And the harbor's miles away from South Central.

We're trying to provide housing where the homeless are.

Buddy, you're offering people

living in plastic bags a roof over their heads

and central air. You think they're gonna balk

at a street address?

I can't do it. I'm sorry.

Well...

...this is disappointing.

How was the house? You have a good time last night?

You going there?I'm just asking.

If you enjoyed the use of my residence.

I did. Thank you.

Jonathan, we know you really wanted

the Crenshaw Complex.

Unfortunately, Vic Mazy got his hands on it.

But you know what? There are other development prospects

in the city. We'll help you find them.

Doug, no offense...

you couldn't find a development prospect

if it was on your ass.

The Crenshaw Complex is what I want.

And Vic Mazy doesn't his hands on anything.

What do you mean?
