Good Trouble

What are you doing about this manifesto?

"Why the women engineers at Speckulate aren't equal to the men"?

The email came from Raj.

So you have feelings for me.

But I have a boyfriend who I really love.

-Please. I can explain. -I'm sure you can.

You're the best con artist I know.

How would you like to audition for the Comedy Be

TV Diversity program?

And Alice, what about you?

Maybe we can do it again sometime.

I really need to be single for a while.

So the city attorney doesn't want this trial.

-I think you call their bluff. -What, you think doing time

is some type of badge of honor or something?

-How about a little respect? -Yo, you don't deserve my respect.

You don't need my approval to do kids' parties with Isabella.

You're an amazing guy, okay?

Sometimes, uh, my chest gets tight.

Have you ever talked to anyone about anxiety?

I don't think I'm gonna stay the night tonight.

I kind of feel like I need to be alone.

God bless you!

-Hands! Let me see your hands! -No, no!

No, no, no, he's not violent!

At the last minute, they asked me to step in

on this negotiation today.

The development company is giving them cash vouchers

to voluntarily move out of their homes.

This is a whole lot better than what they're gonna get.

It's still wrong.

Trap Heals is about reshaping social ideas

that honor and heal the tribes we come from.

We exist to create dope events that celebrate our culture,

our music, and promote healin.

What are you doing?

Security to blue team, please. Thank you.

Can I have your attention?

How long have you known they're planning to build

a mental health jail on the South Solano apartment site?

That's just one of the proposals on the table, along with the condos.

The Trap is a place where both the buyer and the seller

were caught with their fists in the jar.

Easy entries, impossible exits.

We've done an internal investigation into the source

of the recent manifesto that was sent to the company Slack.

And Raj, you're fired.

What? I didn't do it.

-I didn't do anything. -You need to leave the building now.

Are you kidding me?

Is this a joke?

This is bullshit! I...

Please leave that here. We'll have your property sent to you

once it's wiped clean of all Speckulate work product.

Is this for real?

-No way. -Whoa.

Can we talk about why you're going through the files in my briefcase?

I'm sorry.

I was just curious why Anwei doubled the payout offer to the tenants.

You could have asked me.

I did.

You didn't tell me the truth.

Heal the trap within to heal the trap without.

It was Raj?

Are you sure that we should be here?

Because I don't want to insert myself

into something that's not meant for me.

White people are uncomfortable in black spaces, because we live in

a social environment that insulates us from race-based stress.

You really need to read White Fragility.

Hey, what are you guys doing here?

-Oh, my God. -Hi.

Malika invited us. What are you doing here?

I love trap music, and I love Trap Heals! Yes!

-Yeah, right. -Peace, Kelly!

Peace, Damon! Oh, my God!

Oh, it's so good to see you.

-Come here, come here. -Yes. Damon, this is Davia and Dennis.

-Peace. -You guys, this is Damon Turner.

-Hi! -He's the founder of Trap Heals.

-Oh, thank you so much for having us. -Of course.

She's our friend.

Yeah, Malika.

-Wow! -She invited us, so we came.

And it's like, way dope.

Yeah, the, the team killed it.

-Let me know if y'all wanna spark up. -Ooh!

-Okay. Thanks. -Uh, thank you.

-I'm first on rotation, bro. -'Course you are.

Listen, y'all have fun. Let me know if you need anything.

-All right. -Will do.

-Peace. -Yeah.

What was that about being uncomfortable in black spaces?

I'm not.

Yep.

-I need a drink. Do you want anything? -No, I'll be right here.

Okay.

This is my son, Jacob.

I told someone else I live with about Jacob.

This is why I don't tell people. They get weird.

Or judge how I've been living my life.

How can I smile, or laugh, or do anything? How...

Are you sure that's them, or you?

Maybe this is why you isolate from people.

You project your judgments onto them,

-and that's painful. -I wasn't a good father.

Damn it, Jacob! I said go back to bed!

Dennis, everyone loses patience with their children.

Can I give you some homework?

Can you try to remember the times

you were a good father to Jacob?

Okay, so we write wishes.

Or confessions, or affirmations?

Yeah. Whatever you want.

You have feelings for your boss?

That is a private confession.

-That everyone can read? -Strangers. Not people you know.

Okay, so, these feelings for your boss.

Where does that leave Raj?

Sam?

What did you do?

You told me to make sure it couldn't be traced back to us.

I didn't tell you to frame Raj for it.

What are you so mad about? He's a great cover.

He's on the women's side, you idiot.

You know what? "You're a classic example

"of the inverse ratio between the size of the mouth,

and the size of the brain."

How dare you use "Doctor Who" against me!

-"Allons-y!" -Listen, just, if you shut up about it...

-Good call. -If you shut up about i-

-"Doctor Who." -If you shut...

-The tenth. -You shut up.

-Hey. -Hi.

Hey.

I should go.

-Maybe get some acupuncture, you know. -Sure.

-Ha ha ha. -Aah!

What's, uh... What's with her?

No idea.

Hey.

Hi. You know Raj.

Yeah. Hi, Raj.

-Hi. -I brought fresh drinks!

-Oh, that's okay. -Oh, no. I can get another one.

Hi.

What?

Just... hello.

Oh.

I'm gonna go get that drink.

Look at Mr. Paul.

-You're getting me all hot and bothered. -Okay. All right.

Hey, come meet my team.

Yeah, yeah, in a... in a bit.

I... I need to chill for a bit.

Grab a drink.

You know, if you really wanna chill, they've got some amazing healers here.

They got acupuncture and Reiki.

Okay. Um, we'll see.

Okay.

Where you going?

To celebrate this healing with my friends.

Okay.

I'm really trying to be here for you.

I know you are.

But you can't be here for me if you're not taking care of yourself.

Look, I love you, and I'm not going anywhere.

But I can't count on you or my family to be there for me

in the states y'all are in, so just...

have a drink. Chill.

It's okay.

Wait, so this is gonna align me?

No, I really can't feel anything. I'm into it.

Hey.

Oh, my... Oh, my gosh. Hi!

I thought that was you.

Well, must have been the needles in my face.

Not an easy look to pull off, but I like it on you.

You do?

So, I never heard back from you.

Oh. Well, you made it pretty clear that it was a one-time thing, so...

About auditioning for the comedy program.
