The first 200 lines.
Previously on "All American"...
You said that Dillon wanted you
to give me a chance.
Dillon doesn't remember having a dad,
and then one day, he's just gone.
Looking at you now brings all that anger back, man.
You guys are open all night, right?
We are.
Don't want to go home, huh?
Is the D.A. Office still looking
for a way to take down Tyrone?
Yeah, I know for a fact that they are.
Everybody know what you did to Shawn, and they coming for you.
Who's coming for me, exactly?
Your own bloods; I'm just trying
to give you something you didn't give Shawn,
and that's a way out. It's over, Ty.
I guess y'all leave me no choice.
Preach!
Preach!
There's something I need to tell you.
Is everything ok?
I had an affair with Grace James.
I'm so sorry, baby.
We were both in a really dark place at the time.
I was in a dark place when dad took off and you left me there.
I think we should talk.
I'm done caring what you think.
State championship, man. We made it.
Only one of us can win.
You ain't got no business wearing that Crenshaw ring no more.
You don't belong here.
You don't have to feel guilty
about accomplishing something great.
You earned this, Spencer.
You're a hard man to track down these days.
Clearly not that hard.
Big game this week.
Working for this all season.
All practices and workouts are private this week,
even individual ones.
Just checking on my son, Billy,
since he's been in Beverly Hills all week.
Yeah, I understand that, but, uh, rules are rules.
I got to shower before class, so...
I'm glad preach is alive,
but we need him conscious to I.D. Tyrone as his shooter.
Preach not gonna snitch.
That's not how it work here.
Regardless,
the cops are on the lookout for Tyrone.
He's still a person of interest in preach's attempted murder.
If he resurfaces,
the cops are going to find him.
How do we keep Coop safe in the meantime?
I think you should just move back in here with us,
just until all of this blows over.
Thanks, Ms. Grace,
but I'll be fine. I'm being careful.
Yeah, you will be fine because you're gonna move back home with us.
What happened to me no longer being welcome?
Well, whatever our differences,
we can't work them out if you're not alive.
Well, I'll be in touch if I get any word on Tyrone.
- I'll walk you out. - That's ok.
I know where the door is.
Yo, the police ain't the way to go.
I agree. We'll take out Ty ourselves.
Nothing else is gonna work; I mean, I tried to run him off,
but preach ended up almost dying. He still might.
A'ight. What's the plan?
For starters, Andre, I need you
to keep an eye on preach at the hospital.
Jamar, I need you to move the money drops asap.
- Why? - 'Cause he gonna need money
if he trying to go off the grid.
Malik, I need you to check Ty's spot out.
He might go back there for some of his things,
or he might have a stash there.
Problem?
Yeah...
'Cause you giving out orders like you Queen of Sheba.
Ain't nobody died and left you in charge.
You got a better plan? Speak up, then, fool.
'Cause what I ain't gonna do is sit around
and wait for Tyrone to come back and finish
preach off or come after one of us next.
I'm just making sure you're ready, Coop.
I mean, you calling all these shots.
I mean, what you gonna do if Ty run up on you?
If Ty dumb enough to run up on me...
I'm gonna be ready for him.
Again!
Dude, days away from championship, we're in full-blown practice?
I thought it was just supposed to be a walk-through, man.
Ain't no chitchat! Run it again!
Again!
Jordan, hang back?
- This about football? - Well, no, but...
Then we have nothing to say to each other.
Where the hell you been?
Crenshaw. Look, I thought this practice was just a walk-through. My bad.
I understand that you may be upset with people. That's no excuse.
Coop is in some real trouble, a'ight?
Mrs. Baker trying to help her out.
Oh.
Well, we've got to trust that Coop's in good hands
'cause I need your head in this championship game.
How can you focus on a game right now with everything that's going on?
It's easy. This is all I have left.
And what? You were hoping you give Jordan this win,
y'all two can start over?
Look, I just need to know that you're ready
to go out and get this win for us.
I'll be ready.
I understand how important Crenshaw is to you.
If you want to be a professional athlete,
you got to learn how to compartmentalize all those personal feelings.
I need to know that my star wide receiver,
when he walks out on that field, he is clear
whose team he's playing for.
You got to pick your family...
Or else you might end up with neither.
There he is. My son.
He's playing in the state championship.
Yes!
I thought I'd get a more enthusiastic response on that last part.
State championship is the biggest thing
to happen to Crenshaw in a long time.
And you're playing for the other team.
I get it.
Never thought I'd feel like a stranger in my own 'hood.
You're not a stranger here.
Making the finals with another team
does not diminish your accomplishments, baby.
Have you talked to Chris
or your other friends?
No, not yet.
Not like you need validation from anyone,
but maybe you should reach out.
It might help clear your mind.
Yes, ma'am.
Ha ha! Ok. I know. Oh, you're not...
Ohh!
Ok, um, ha! Oranges.
- Apples? - No. Ha ha!
No, I mean "oranges" is the code word
I talk to my sponsor if I feel a relapse
coming on, but don't feel like talking.
You... not talking?
- Ok. Ok. - Ha ha ha!
Oh, here it goes.
Hey.
I was just stopping by to say hi,
but you were sleeping, so...
Olivia hung out just to make sure
I didn't burn down the kitchen.
And we didn't, so going good.
Let me get out of your way.
Thanks again for the tip.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You ok?
Yeah, it's just, uh...
It's been a long time since I heard my dad laugh.
It's a nice way to wake up.
Yeah, well, glad I could help here.
Feeling pretty useless at my house.
How you guys holding up?
I'm just worried about Jordan.
I mean, at least I said my piece, you know?
Jordan's barely said two words to our dad, and now he still
has to go out and play a championship game with him.
I could reach out to him.
You... need to sit,
and you're going to rate my progress. Come on, go.
Sit down.
There's a little cheese.
All right, what you got?
Show me what you got. Ah! Uh-uh! Uh-uh!
What's up?
- Whoo! - Yeah! Ha ha!
Yeah.
All right, little man. Water break.
What? I'm just getting started.
Well, take pity on an old man.
All right.
Oh.
Look like you need it.
Ha ha! I can't believe he's not winded.
So what's the plan?
You sticking around,
or is this just a temporary visit?
I'm done running
from my mistakes, my fears.
I'm up for a couple local jobs.
No offers yet, but I'm working on it.
A'ight.
How would you feel about me sticking around?
I ain't asking for me. I'm asking for Dillon.
I'm supposed to believe that?
No comments yet. Be the first to leave one.
