00:00:17Hey, bruh, I'm telling you, the street shit ain't where it's set.
00:00:20It's like every other day I'm hearing about someone who looks just like me and you losing their life out
00:00:25here.
00:00:28Even worse than that, it's someone that looks just like us that's doing the killing.
00:00:32Swann, my cousin's got arrested last week for murder.
00:00:35See, that's two young brothers' lives lost.
00:00:39Let me grab that cooler.
00:00:43Wrench this thing out.
00:00:46All right, let go.

00:01:06They gentrifying the hood.
00:01:09Rent prices getting high.
00:01:12Folks ain't got no choice but to hustle.
00:01:15Yeah.
00:01:16Selling poison to our own people.
00:01:19Bruh, I fear you.
00:01:20Social media has these young girls out here looking after strippers and popping pills.
00:01:25Beat one side.
00:01:27We still live.

00:01:31Bad as fuck.
00:01:33And irony of it is, we live in Atlanta.
00:01:37Birthplace of the MLK, creator of the Civil Rights Movement.
00:01:40I bet Dr. King is turning his grave over at the monument right now, looking at what we've become.
00:01:45Savages.
00:01:47I'm telling you, that's why I'm just trying to stack my paper, get this car, pay my way through college,
00:01:53and get out of these streets.
00:01:54Once I get my degree in graphic design, I'm going to start my own company.
00:01:58Become an entrepreneur?
00:02:00Hell, I might even make it on the cover of Black Enterprise one day.
00:02:03This is my best friend, Dolo.

00:05:51I'm just out here selling water.
00:05:53Oh, brother, you're not just selling water.
00:05:55You're running your business.
00:05:56This $60 is an investment in your future business.
00:06:00We believe in you.
00:06:02All right, king.
00:06:16All right, king.
00:06:21We were constantly competing for corners with other water buds and drug dents.
00:06:43This is Junior.
00:06:44Him and his crew move different than us.
00:06:46They pack guns, sell drugs, and behave like criminals.
00:07:02Unfortunately, this was just the cost of doing business.
00:07:07We had to watch our backs any time that it was around.
00:07:15They would be out here trapping in bright daylight.
00:07:20And 12 wasn't doing nothing about it.
00:07:36Let's go, water!
00:07:39Let's go, water!
00:07:51Let's go, water!

00:08:49Can't we got that fire on us?
00:08:51Mm-hmm.
00:08:52This ain't playing.
00:08:54Ready to do it.
00:08:56They were one of the most murderous gangs in the whole city.
00:09:05They were known for hitting licks and killing folks.
00:09:12Lil' Zoo would never hesitate to bust his gun.
00:09:21All these niggas out here, y'all trying to fuck with us, man.
00:09:23It's my block, Lil' Bro.
00:09:24You know I need to end on everything.
00:09:26Although Jun and his crew was trapped, they knew not to even try with the zoo.
00:09:29See what I'm saying?
00:09:31I need to end on that, too.
00:09:45Hey, y'all.
00:09:47Woo!
00:09:50Let's do it.
00:09:57How are you doing today?
00:10:01I'm doing fine.
00:10:02Especially now that you and Miss Officer.
00:10:06So when you gonna let me take you on the date or something?
00:10:08When you about 20 years older.
00:10:12But then you'll be too old for me by the end.
00:10:14Oh, you done tried it.
00:10:16You know, black don't crack around here.
00:10:17Yeah, I know.
00:10:19So what about me?
00:10:24Good, sweetie?
00:10:25Yeah.
00:10:26Yeah, I'm good.
00:10:30Y'all be safe around here.
00:10:32Sure.
00:10:32Come on.
00:10:36Come on.
00:10:36Let's get back to work.
00:10:38Don't forget about our date.
00:10:44What the hell we doing about Lil' Zulu?
00:10:46I ain't worried about it.
00:10:48I keep telling y'all we need a fire.
00:10:50Oh, see, that's playing right into their hands, my brother.
00:10:53If you live by the gun, you die by the gun.
00:10:55Yeah, he go without it, my brother shit.
00:10:57Man, go without it.
00:10:58Y'all, I think Lil' all right, though.
00:11:00We do need some protection on him.
00:11:03No, we don't.
00:11:04When you have a gun, it creates gun problems.
00:11:06And?
00:11:07Look, I'd rather be called witty than without it.
00:11:10Hell yeah.
00:11:11Whatever.
00:11:13Hey.
00:11:16Shelling water, bro.
00:11:17Why are we so gangsta?
00:11:18Water.
00:11:22Water.
00:11:34Tonight, Mayor Thomas held a press conference regarding the out-of-control street vendors
00:11:40called the Water Boys.
00:11:42You may have seen them on your local street corner selling ice-cold beverages.
00:11:46But some say they have a much more sinister motive.
00:11:50You may also recall that 17-year-old Christopher Hearns was slain over a minor dispute with a fellow water
00:11:57boy.
00:11:57Here's what Mayor Thomas had to say.
00:12:01Now, we are all four young people embracing the entrepreneurial spirit.
00:12:07However, what will not be tolerated is the mob-like mentality some young men have displayed.
00:12:17There have been assaults, car thefts, and unfortunately, a teenager was killed.
00:12:26Now, my office and I, we are working on resolutions to end this type of behavior.
00:12:36Hey, Mama.
00:12:37Hey.
00:12:38How you doing?
00:12:40I am tired.
00:12:43Been out here working double shifts and all I get in the mail is a stack of damn bills.
00:12:59Where did you get that from?
00:13:01Selling water.
00:13:02I told you.
00:13:03It's a good hustle.
00:13:04A good hustle.
00:13:06You know what I'm saying.
00:13:10You don't have to do that.
00:13:12Yes, I do.
00:13:14I'm grown now.
00:13:15And I need to do my part.
00:13:17Oh, you grown now.
00:13:19A couple little hairs on your face don't make you grown, boy.
00:13:23Oh, oh, you trying to play?
00:13:26I almost got a full mustache.
00:13:28Look.
00:13:30I see a little something.
00:13:32What you want for dinner?
00:13:34You don't have to cook anything.
00:13:36I'll make something.
00:13:37You gonna cook?
00:13:39Mm-mm.
00:13:40No child of mine is going to bed on top ramen and what's that you make, grilled cheese?
00:13:45You trying to say I can't cook?
00:13:47I didn't say that, but I said what I said.
00:13:52You like the food?
00:13:53Of course.
00:13:57You know, I've been thinking.
00:13:59I'm getting real worried about you selling that wood on them corners.
00:14:03I brought you out here from New York when you was a baby to provide you with a safer environment.
00:14:09Mom, look, there's no way I can make this kind of money.
00:14:12Unless, what, I get like an academic scholarship or something.
00:14:16Rich is super rare.
00:14:17I gotta stack my money up.
00:14:19I know that.
00:14:21But these corners are dangerous.
00:14:23You know I just read online about the little boy who got shot selling water?
00:14:29Well, there are a few bad seeds in the bunch.
00:14:31Boy, don't be trying to use my quotes against me.
00:14:35I promise you.
00:14:36I'll be safe.
00:14:38College is my only way out.
00:14:41It's our only way out.
00:14:42You gotta where?
00:14:44The trap.
00:14:45The trap?
00:14:46Does this, does this look like the trap to you?
00:14:50Mom.
00:14:51You should see where I grew up.
00:14:52Mom, our house is nice, but there are drug dealers that live right next door.
00:14:55Boy, you've always been smart and ambitious and hard-headed, just like your father.
00:15:06I just wish he could see you.
00:15:11He would be so proud.
00:15:15My ambitions are different, though.
00:15:19Yeah, I know that.
00:15:32Excuse me.
00:15:34Excuse me.
00:15:34Excuse me.

00:15:35Excuse me.
00:15:37Excuse me.
00:15:54Excuse me.
00:16:00My father was murdered in the streets when I was young.
00:16:03I never really dealt with his death.
00:16:06The black community doesn't believe in therapy.
00:16:10I'm sure I needed it.
00:16:12My way of dealing with it was not talking about it, which can't be healthy.
00:16:25I'm better than I ever been, ever been, it's because of my melanin, my melanin, got super powers, heaven sent,

00:17:54No cash?
00:17:57Let's go.
00:17:58Let's go.
00:17:59Let's go.
00:18:09After this, I knew it was going to be a hot summer.
00:18:14Police are currently on a citywide manhunt for a water boy who carjacked a woman on the west side of
00:18:20Atlanta earlier today.
00:18:22This is a...
00:18:24Hey.
00:18:25Hey, ma.
00:18:27You got some mail on the table?
00:18:43We regret to inform you that your application has been denied.
00:18:50Baby, don't even worry about that.
00:18:52You know things happen exactly the way they're supposed to.
00:18:56And patience is key.
00:18:59I know.
00:19:01It's frustrating.
00:19:02I know.
00:19:03You ever thought about applying to local colleges?
00:19:08I really want to go out of state.
00:19:10And I really want you to stay home.
00:19:12I want to get us out of here.
00:19:14At least out of this neighborhood.
00:19:18Yeah, I know.
00:19:20It's like ever since your father passed, you became the man of the house.
00:19:25Mm-hmm.
00:19:26I had to.
00:19:27Who else is going to protect you?
00:19:29Protect me?
00:19:30I ain't no punk now.
00:19:32I could take care of myself.
00:19:35You remember...
00:19:36You remember Marvin?
00:19:38Of course.
00:19:39The only guy you dated since dad?
00:19:41Yes.
00:19:41The only guy and the last guy.
00:19:44Thank God.
00:19:45Hey, you remember that time y'all was arguing in your bedroom?
00:19:48And I was standing outside with the bat?
00:19:50How could I forget?
00:19:52Yeah.
00:19:53He was about to get it.
00:19:55You were eight.
00:19:56Yeah, but I had a cold swing.
00:19:59You did.
00:20:01I love you.
00:20:03I love you too, mama.
00:20:06You know, I was watching on the news what happened to the water boys.
00:20:12Mom, I told you.
00:20:14I'm good.
00:20:17That stuff just really makes me afraid for you.
00:20:20Remember what you told me?
00:20:22What's that?
00:20:23Fear and faith can't occupy the same space.
00:20:27Yes, but that doesn't mean you intentionally go put yourself in harm's way.
00:20:32Them corners is dangerous.
00:20:35I'll be alright.
00:20:40Will you just humor me and try to get a job doing something else?
00:20:48Okay.
00:20:50Just try it.
00:20:56I felt my mother's concerns and decided I would give the job her one last try.
00:21:03Do you have any experience in retail?
00:21:07I don't, but I'm a quick learner.
00:21:10Yes.
00:21:11Positive attitude.
00:21:13Do you have any experience in retail?
00:21:17I like to shop.
00:21:21Shopping.
00:21:22Alright, so, have you ever been convicted of a crime?
00:21:26Absolutely not.
00:21:27I try my best to avoid trouble at all times.
00:21:30Yes.
00:21:35Have you ever been convicted of a crime?
00:21:47So, what would you consider a crime?
00:21:51A crime?
00:21:54That'll be all.
00:21:56Make it a job?
00:21:58Uh, no.
00:22:00Uh, no.
00:22:02Wait.
00:22:03It's because I'm black.
00:22:07Okay.
00:22:09Looks like I've seen everything I need.
00:22:11Congratulations.
00:22:13Welcome aboard.
00:22:15Um, when do I start?
00:22:16Next week.
00:22:17We're going to start you off part-time in the stock room.
00:22:19The stock room?
00:22:20I applied to be the cashier.
00:22:22Oh, I know.
00:22:22But, you know, everyone starts off in the stock room.
00:22:25It's a great learning experience.
00:22:26And you'll start at $7.25 an hour.
00:22:29Minimum wage.
00:22:30$7.25?
00:22:32Part-time?
00:22:33That's like $150 a week.
00:22:37Math skills.
00:22:38That's good.
00:22:39Yeah.
00:22:40I want you to take this as a learning experience.
00:22:43Okay?
00:22:44Rome wasn't built in a day.
00:22:45And I, myself, started off in the stock room, man.
00:22:50You know.
00:22:52Look at me now.
00:23:00He offered me the job.
00:23:02Oh, really?
00:23:03Yeah.
00:23:04Minimum wage, though.
00:23:05In the stock room.
00:23:06Part-time?
00:23:08$150 a week?
00:23:10I can make that in a couple hours selling water.
00:23:12You dig what I'm saying?
00:23:23As opposed to making $30 a day, sweating it in the stock room at Walmart,
00:23:27I chose to stick to selling water.
00:23:31Hey, look.
00:23:33I'm talking about where you from.
00:23:35What's up?

00:57:17Let me go give you a tour real quick, all right?
00:57:30Let me go.
00:58:16Oh, it's crazy, man.
00:58:17I grew up in the projects a mile and a half away from here.
00:58:19Now this is what I see.
00:58:23So what's going on in your world right now?
00:58:28Things could be better.
00:58:30Why do you say that?
00:58:32In these corners are getting dangerous, man.
00:58:37It's like we starting to deal with the same type of drama we would have if we were selling drugs.
00:58:41Yeah, I heard about that shooting on the news.
00:58:44Yeah, that was me.
00:58:46Doing the shooting?
00:58:47No, no.
00:58:48Getting shot at.
00:58:50Drew, what is your end game, man?
00:58:52What do you mean?
00:58:53I mean, what do you want to get out of selling this water?
00:58:56I'm just trying to save enough money to get a car so I can enroll in college.
00:59:00What you want to study?
00:59:02Graphic design.
00:59:03So you draw?
00:59:03Yeah.
00:59:05You know how to use a computer?
00:59:06I know how to use my iPad and my iPhone.
00:59:08No, I mean a real computer.
00:59:11Um, no, but look at some of the stuff I've done on my phone.
00:59:17Oh, wow.
00:59:20Dang, bro, this is you?
00:59:21This is impressive.
00:59:25Well, look, I got a graphic design department here.
00:59:28Now my internship program is a little bit full, but a lot of the kids are going home for the
00:59:33summer.
00:59:34Why don't you fill out the application?
00:59:35I'll put yours on top of the pile.
00:59:37I will, thank you.
00:59:40So have you considered going to any local colleges?
00:59:43Nah, I want to go out of state, you know?
00:59:46See something different.
00:59:47Well, if you reconsider, just know I got a little sway around these parts, all right?
00:59:53Okay, I'll keep that in mind.
00:59:54All right.
00:59:55Well, let me go back into this office, brother.
00:59:57But please, make me one promise, Drew.
01:00:02Promise me you're going to be safe on these streets, brother.
01:00:06I will.
01:00:11You're right now.
01:00:13Talk to you.
01:00:19In response to the recent violence surrounding waterboys, the mayor has ordered a citywide crackdown.
01:00:28The mayor finally took action to try to shut us down.
01:00:36We will not tolerate these thugs fronting as entrepreneurs, terrorizing our street corners.
01:00:44Therefore, I have called an immediate crackdown on the so-called waterboys.
01:00:54If they do not have a vendor's license or behave accordingly, they will not be allowed to sell waters on
01:01:02these corners.
01:01:12We didn't even do nothing to you.
01:01:14We didn't even do nothing to you.
01:01:37Get in.
01:01:43You guys are going to have to find something else to do.
01:01:48Like what?
01:01:50Sell drugs?
01:01:52There is nothing else out here for us.
01:01:56Name.
01:02:00Why you think they call it the truck?
01:02:04Once you know, there ain't no eye.
01:02:08I would think the police would muck right outside of selling water and kicking in for a door.
01:02:16Look, I totally understand that, but with all the drama surrounding the waterboys, it's going to be nearly impossible for
01:02:23y'all to continue to operate, at least within the land of city limits.
01:02:28Mm-hmm.
01:02:29I don't 12 have better shit to worry about, like all the violence in the city.
01:02:35It's Atlanta.
01:02:38I promise you, these little incidents with us, that ain't nothing compared to what's really going on out here.
01:02:42Look, this is true, but once members of the community start flooding the mayor's office with complaints, he has to
01:02:51do something.
01:02:52He's a publicly elected official.
01:02:55Therefore, us serve the people.
01:03:00Sure are the people, huh?
01:03:04What people?
01:03:06Where are these people from?
01:03:08What do these people look like?
01:03:12Because it sure enough don't feel like he'll serve us.
01:03:15Listen, I have a teenage nephew, so I understand what you guys are up against.
01:03:21You are too smart, ambitious young man.
01:03:25So I'm sure y'all figure something out.
01:03:32Think about what I said, all right?
01:03:36Be careful.
01:03:51We didn't have no choice but to keep selling water.
01:03:55We just had to find another corner to stand on.
01:04:10Hey, see, I told you we would be straight.
01:04:14I guess you're all right.
01:04:16Ain't no competition out here, and business is booming.
01:04:19Y'all got to listen to your boys sometime.
01:04:21Well, what up?
01:04:33Y'all got something that you're doing here.
01:04:37Shit, making money.
01:04:39What it look like?
01:04:40I want a hard song.
01:04:42Oh, look.
01:04:43I got you.
01:04:44I got you for sure.
01:04:48Oh.
01:04:49Oh.
01:04:50Oh.
01:04:51I don't know.
01:04:54Griff don't need your money.
01:04:56It's my corner.
01:04:57Griff want my corner bag.
01:04:59Yo, corner.
01:05:00Boy, you homeless.
01:05:02You ain't got no corner.
01:05:03Yeah?
01:05:05I am, Atlanta.
01:05:06Matter of fact, I need some money back.
01:05:10Give me all your goddamn...
01:05:11Hey, whoa!
01:05:12Calm down.
01:05:13We ain't got to do this.
01:05:14Boy, we ain't giving you shit.
01:05:17Matter of fact, back your stupid ass up.
01:05:19Boy, I popped your ass out here.
01:05:21Yeah.
01:05:23Gifted him on this problem.
01:05:25Yeah.
01:05:25I know you don't.
01:05:27So beat it then, nigga.
01:05:33Go on.
01:05:38Boy, I told y'all we need that straw.
01:05:41Where the fuck did you get that?
01:05:43Don't worry about it.
01:05:44We do not need a gun out here.
01:05:46Like hell.
01:05:48You got to get rid of that.
01:05:49No, I don't.
01:05:50Well, y'all trained.
01:05:51Y'all saw what just happened.
01:05:52We need that fine.
01:05:53Then we can't be in business no more.
01:06:01Fine.
01:06:04Now I go find my own block to stand on.
01:06:08Who?
01:06:13You know, I can't believe you acting like a bitch
01:06:16when I just say that.
01:06:18When I just say that.
01:06:19When I just say that.
01:06:22Me.
01:06:26Always saving you.
01:06:33And for what?
01:06:37Y'all feel the same way?
01:06:41No.
01:06:42I'm a feel.
01:06:44My dog.
01:06:48And let's see how I make some money without your black.
01:06:56Let's get back to work, bro.
01:06:59Come on.
01:06:59Let's get back to work.

01:07:30That night, I couldn't stop thinking about what happened between me and Dolo.
01:07:35go to work.
01:07:36Yes.
01:07:39Do.
01:08:57What's happening?
01:09:01You see that same little nigga from the party the other night, ain't it?
01:09:06Ain't this little buddy from the party that was talking that shit?
01:09:09Mm-hmm.
01:09:11You so hard now, little nigga.
01:09:13Matter of fact, run them pockets, little niggas.
01:09:14What?
01:09:15Run them pockets.
01:09:16I said run them pockets.
01:09:19Mm-hmm.
01:09:19And I'm gonna need a water too.
01:09:29Mm-hmm.
01:09:32Hell nah.
01:09:33Say what?
01:09:47Back up.
01:09:48Get your little ass back till you be next.
01:09:51Told you to give me a water, little nigga.
01:09:57No!
01:09:57No!
01:10:10Come on, come on.
01:10:12Come on, come on.
01:10:14Keep breathing, bro.
01:10:16Somebody get out!
01:10:18Don't go.
01:10:19Keep breathing, bro.
01:10:21Come on, Emily!
01:10:24No!
01:10:29Don't go.
01:11:13I never felt so much rage in my life.
01:11:16I want it blurred.
01:11:17Oh.
01:11:39Baby, you home?
01:11:42I had to work late, so it's no dinner, but we could order something.
01:11:50Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:11:54What are you doing?
01:11:58What happened?
01:12:00They killed Dolo.
01:12:02Who?
01:12:03Lazoo. The dude who showed up to the party.
01:12:07I see, I see.
01:12:10And what do you plan on doing with that?
01:12:16Baby, no.
01:12:19Killing somebody is not going to bring your friend back.
01:12:22It's only going to cause another black woman to grieve.
01:12:26I know that you're hurt, and you have every right to be.
01:12:31But violence only begets more violence.
01:12:36I cannot and will not watch you throw your life away in a fit of rage.
01:12:42You're the only thing I got left.
01:12:46All right, all right, all right, all right.
01:12:48Now just calm down.
01:12:52Let me take the gun, and let's talk about this.
01:12:56Let's just talk about it.
01:13:01It's going to be all right.
01:13:04So sorry.
01:13:06He's gone.
01:13:08Yeah, he's gone.
01:13:10Oh, no, I don't.
01:13:11I know.
01:13:30It's a sad day for our city.
01:13:34Our community, our church, and our family.
01:13:44But you must remember that you are not alone.
01:13:52And Matthew 11 to 28 says,
01:13:58Come to me,
01:14:01all of you that are weary
01:14:05and carry heavy burdens,
01:14:09and I will give you rest.
01:14:15Take my yoke upon you.
01:14:19Let me teach you,
01:14:21because I am humble and gentle at heart.
01:14:26And you will find rest for your souls.
01:14:33For my yoke is easy to bear.
01:14:40And the burden that I give to you
01:14:44is light.
01:14:47Amen?
01:14:48Amen.
01:14:50Now, Brother Vashon Mitchell
01:14:53is going to sing a wonderful hymn for you guys.
01:14:56And as he sings,
01:14:57we can say our final goodbyes
01:15:00to this young man
01:15:03gone way too soon.
01:15:16Greetings, family and friends.
01:15:18I just want to let you know
01:15:19that it won't always be like this.
01:15:20It's turning around for you.
01:15:29Sometimes discouraged
01:15:32but not defeated
01:15:35Cast down
01:15:38But not destroyed
01:15:43There are times I
01:15:46Don't understand
01:15:50But I believe
01:15:53It's turning around for me
01:16:00I've had trouble
01:16:03And disappointment
01:16:06I've had trouble
01:16:06And disappointment
01:16:07There are times I
01:16:11Felt so alone
01:16:16Some of my friends
01:16:19They let me down
01:16:23But I still believe
01:16:26It's turning around
01:16:30For me
01:16:32Around for me
01:16:35Around for me
01:16:39Around for me
01:16:43It's turning around for me

01:16:53into the atmosphere
01:16:54Around for me
01:16:57Around for me
01:17:00It's turning around
01:17:01It's turning around for me
01:17:04God is making a way
01:17:08A change is coming
01:17:11A day
01:17:12God is making a way
01:17:16A change is coming
01:17:19For me
01:17:20If I stay strong
01:17:21If I stand strong
01:17:23And believe
01:17:24There's no reason to doubt
01:17:28I'm the oldest one
01:17:29The oldest one

01:20:01Hi
01:20:08That day, I lost my best friend in the whole world.
01:20:13I didn't know if I could carry on without him, but I knew I had to.
01:20:22Get a couple of bottles of water off you, young fella.
01:20:28Hey, Mr. Williams. How'd you find me here?
01:20:31Your address was on the application. Your mother told me I might find you here.
01:20:36Figured.
01:20:37Why don't you jump in the car, man? We got some lunch.
01:20:43You got some real good news you might want to hear.
01:20:53You heard about your friend, Drew. Man, I'm sorry for your loss.
01:20:58Thanks.
01:20:59How you been holding up?
01:21:00It's been rough, but I've been making it through.
01:21:05Yeah, I'm sure. But look, I didn't come to talk about that.
01:21:09I actually came to give you some good news.
01:21:11Oh, yeah? What is it?
01:21:13A summer internship opened up my office.
01:21:16Really?
01:21:17Yeah, and it's a paid position. You'll be working in the graphics department.
01:21:21Are you serious?
01:21:22Does it look like I'm joking?
01:21:24Nah. Thank you so much, Mr. Williams.
01:21:27That's no problem. You're welcome.
01:21:31You know, man, you remind me so much of myself when I was your age.
01:21:36Single mother, big dreams, very little resources.
01:21:40But I found my way, and I never took no for an answer.
01:21:44You got that same spirit.
01:21:47Appreciate it.
01:21:48Yeah.
01:21:49And I got another surprise for you, so finish on up, we can go back to my office.
01:22:04So, me and a few of my business partners, we got together, pitched in, got you a car.
01:22:13Woo!
01:22:14Hey, for me?
01:22:16Yeah, for you.
01:22:16Look, it's not a Maserati, all right?
01:22:18But it'll get you from work to home every day.
01:22:22Mr. Williams, Charles, how will I ever repay you for this?
01:22:25You'll repay me by being good yourself.
01:22:27I got you.
01:22:28Yeah, yeah.
01:22:29Where the keys?
01:22:31Yeah, get your license first, all right?
01:22:33Then I'll give you the keys.
01:22:34Hey, come on, let me show you the car real quick, man.
01:22:35I got it easy.
01:22:36Just like that, everything changed for me.
01:22:41I passed my driver's test.
01:22:47I was a standout employee at Mr. Williams' company.
01:23:00Not too long after that, the police arrested Lil' Zoo for Dolo's murder.
01:23:12I took Charles Williams' advice and applied to a local college.
01:23:16Tomika decided to stay in Atlanta and got accepted to the same college.
01:23:35Despite the continued violent incidents amongst Atlanta's water boys,
01:23:39they are still in business with no end in sight.
01:23:42As you can see, we are here near a local college campus.
01:23:49First day of class.
01:23:50How you feel?
01:23:52I mean, this is the moment I've been waiting for my entire life.
01:23:56I'm happy for you.
01:23:59What about you, Miss Valedictorian?
01:24:00Well, you know.
