1. - Previously on "Bel-Air"...
Copy !req
2. - Mrs. Banks.
Copy !req
3. - We want to offer you
the fellowship.
Copy !req
4. - You'll be great, Vivian.
Copy !req
5. Audiences will be
throwing roses at your feet.
Copy !req
6. - And her roses
are long overdue.
Copy !req
7. - Philip!
Copy !req
8. - I haven't told
my parents yet,
Copy !req
9. but I told Kylo to fuck off
and I quit the house.
Copy !req
10. - Mm.
- I'm staying
Copy !req
11. at this bungalow
at this five-star hotel.
Copy !req
12. Maybe we could go there
and order room service.
Copy !req
13. - Yeah.
Copy !req
14. - Will is almost a man.
Copy !req
15. I might tell him
about his father.
Copy !req
16. - He might hate us.
Copy !req
17. - Yo, what up, G?
- A comprehensive report
Copy !req
18. on your father.
Copy !req
19. - Is he alive?
- Very much so.
Copy !req
20. - I don't want to know him,
because the truth is
Copy !req
21. you've been
more of a father to me
Copy !req
22. than any man ever has.
Copy !req
23. - Sadly, I can't
trust you anymore.
Copy !req
24. You're fired.
Copy !req
25. - So let's just say...
Copy !req
26. - You had a family emergency.
Copy !req
27. - Right.
Copy !req
28. - Tell me this isn't you, Will.
Copy !req
29. Why would you lie?
Copy !req
30. - Fred Wilkes knows
about Will's arrest
Copy !req
31. and the strings you pulled
to get him out of trouble.
Copy !req
32. - When I launched my campaign,
Copy !req
33. I did so with my family
by my side.
Copy !req
34. Today, I'm withdrawing
from the race
Copy !req
35. to be the next
district attorney.
Copy !req
36. - Hey, I know him.
Copy !req
37. - Yeah.
Yeah, your aunt really captured
Copy !req
38. some of your
best qualities here.
Copy !req
39. Courage. Resilience.
Copy !req
40. And your ability
to adapt and shine.
Copy !req
41. - You see all of that
in this painting?
Copy !req
42. - I do.
Copy !req
43. Most importantly,
I see all that in you.
Copy !req
44. - Well, I mean,
that's all thanks to you.
Copy !req
45. And Aunt Viv.
Copy !req
46. Seriously.
Copy !req
47. You know, growing up
without a dad was hard.
Copy !req
48. But you stepped up
and gave me a second chance.
Copy !req
49. You saved my life.
Copy !req
50. I never talked to you
about everything that happened
Copy !req
51. since, you know,
you stepped back.
Copy !req
52. But I just wanted to say
that I'm sorry.
Copy !req
53. You know, if I—
Copy !req
54. - Hey. Hey.
Copy !req
55. It's all right, Will.
Copy !req
56. What was meant to be
was meant to be.
Copy !req
57. - You mean
I didn't ruin everything?
Copy !req
58. - No.
Copy !req
59. Helping you is a decision
I'll never regret.
Copy !req
60. - Thanks, Uncle Phil.
Copy !req
61. - Hey. Come on, now.
Copy !req
62. - Look at her.
Copy !req
63. It's crazy
what us West Philly kids can do
Copy !req
64. when you give us
an opportunity, huh?
Copy !req
65. - So beautiful.
Copy !req
66. - Excuse me.
- Hi.
Copy !req
67. - Oh, my goodness!
Hi, Denise!
Copy !req
68. Isn't this just like old times?
Copy !req
69. - Oh, this is better.
Copy !req
70. You know, even back then,
Copy !req
71. we all knew that you were
destined for something great.
Copy !req
72. - It's just that,
I don't know,
Copy !req
73. I just feel a little guilty.
Copy !req
74. I mean, usually
this fellowship goes
Copy !req
75. to young, emerging
artists of color,
Copy !req
76. not someone living
in a mansion.
Copy !req
77. - You are reemerging, Vivian.
You deserve this.
Copy !req
78. - I know.
Copy !req
79. I just want to use my platform
to discover new talent.
Copy !req
80. - So, um, is that fine man
Copy !req
81. with the light eyes
gonna be helping out?
Copy !req
82. - Reid?
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
83. And where is he at?
Copy !req
84. - Yeah, well,
he swung through earlier,
Copy !req
85. but he didn't stay long.
Copy !req
86. He thought it was best
for the focus
Copy !req
87. to be on me and Phil tonight.
Copy !req
88. Makes a lot of sense,
Copy !req
89. after all the drama
in San Diego.
Copy !req
90. - Oh.
Copy !req
91. Well, Reid finds
new artists, doesn't he?
Copy !req
92. - Excuse me.
- Oh!
Copy !req
93. I wanted to come
give you congratulations.
Copy !req
94. - So good to see you again.
Copy !req
95. Denise, this is my friend
Hebru Brantley.
Copy !req
96. - Such an honor.
- It's nice to meet you too.
Copy !req
97. I gotta say,
I am so proud, Viv.
Copy !req
98. - Amen.
Can we get a cheers for Viv?
Copy !req
99. - To Vivian.
Copy !req
100. - Girl, this party, or whatever
you want to call it, is fire.
Copy !req
101. I mean, I knew you had money,
Copy !req
102. but I didn't realize you ran
with such a bomb-ass crowd.
Copy !req
103. - Oh, so it's giving.
- Oh, sis. It's giving.
Copy !req
104. - Okay.
Copy !req
105. So much of what I do pulls
inspo from this crowd, yo.
Copy !req
106. And if you think about it,
what we do is art.
Copy !req
107. And you should
embrace that shit.
Copy !req
108. Especially if you want to,
Copy !req
109. you know, break free from
that whole Kylo entanglement.
Copy !req
110. - Girl, ain't nobody entangled
with that white boy.
Copy !req
111. I'm trapped, okay?
Copy !req
112. But look, let's not talk about
that situation too much.
Copy !req
113. I haven't told
anybody about it.
Copy !req
114. - Ooh, haven't told anybody
about what?
Copy !req
115. - My love life, Mom.
Boundaries, please.
Copy !req
116. - Oh...
Copy !req
117. - Evening, ladies.
Copy !req
118. - Oh, hey, Jazz.
How you doing?
Copy !req
119. - How you doing?
Good. How are you?
Copy !req
120. - Excuse me. Mrs. Banks?
Copy !req
121. Can we grab you
for some photographs, please?
Copy !req
122. - Oh. I'll talk to y'all later.
Bye.
Copy !req
123. - Bye.
Copy !req
124. - So what's up?
Copy !req
125. Y'all enjoying this
little soiree thing going on?
Copy !req
126. - Not soiree.
What, you think you fancy?
Copy !req
127. - Hey, do not underestimate
a brother
Copy !req
128. from Compton, all right?
- Okay.
Copy !req
129. Oh, sorry, this
is my cousin's friend Jazz.
Copy !req
130. Jazz, Ivy. Ivy, Jazz.
Copy !req
131. - Ivy. Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
132. You're not gonna
poison me, are you?
Copy !req
133. I don't know, maybe.
Copy !req
134. - Jealous?
Copy !req
135. - What? Oh. Nah.
Copy !req
136. Nah. Absolutely not.
Copy !req
137. You know, I don't really
get the crown, though.
Copy !req
138. What do you think it means?
Copy !req
139. - That someone should have
watched the throne
Copy !req
140. a little closer.
Copy !req
141. - Maybe a little.
Copy !req
142. - Phil?
- Mm.
Copy !req
143. Hey. Reverend Lamonte. Henry.
Copy !req
144. - Yamacraw.
- Yo.
Copy !req
145. You know, I thought I felt
Copy !req
146. some alpha energy
step into the event.
Copy !req
147. - You know
we wouldn't miss it, frat.
Copy !req
148. - Been going to art exhibits
for a few years now.
Copy !req
149. Wife says
I'm becoming "cultured."
Copy !req
150. - Cultured, huh?
- Speaking of,
Copy !req
151. now that you're
out of the DA race,
Copy !req
152. what's next for you, Yamacraw?
Copy !req
153. Back to private practice?
Copy !req
154. - You know, I don't know yet.
Copy !req
155. But right now, the plan is to
spend more time with my family.
Copy !req
156. - May the Lord answer
your prayers.
Copy !req
157. - Oh, he already has, Reverend.
Copy !req
158. - Yeah.
Copy !req
159. - Good to see you, gentlemen.
- All right.
Copy !req
160. - Enjoy the night.
- All right, brother.
Copy !req
161. - All right.
Aw, give me some.
Copy !req
162. - Oh. There it is.
- Aw, yeah.
Copy !req
163. - Hey. Want me to ask them
Copy !req
164. if they can make you a Philly
cheesesteak or something?
Copy !req
165. - No, thanks.
Copy !req
166. I'm here for your aunt
and not you, okay?
Copy !req
167. - Look, Lisa,
can we... just start over?
Copy !req
168. - There's nothing
to restart, Will.
Copy !req
169. You lied to me.
Copy !req
170. And I gave you a chance
Copy !req
171. to tell me everything
without any judgment.
Copy !req
172. And you looked me in my eyes,
and you lied to me.
Copy !req
173. And then we slept together.
Copy !req
174. - Lisa, I had no other choice.
Copy !req
175. Look, what my uncle did for me
Copy !req
176. could have got him
in a lot of trouble.
Copy !req
177. And it still can.
Copy !req
178. What was I supposed to do?
Copy !req
179. - You just don't get it.
Copy !req
180. - Lisa. Lisa.
Copy !req
181. - She still mad, huh?
Copy !req
182. - Look, I'm trying
to apologize to her, man,
Copy !req
183. but it's just...
Copy !req
184. - Maybe "sorry"
ain't the magic word.
Copy !req
185. Ever just try to tell her
how you feel?
Copy !req
186. - Mm-mm.
Copy !req
187. - Bro,
then just tell her anyway.
Copy !req
188. If you get curved,
you get curved.
Copy !req
189. I get curved all the time.
Copy !req
190. But at least you know
you gave it a shot.
Copy !req
191. Oh, they got scallops?
I ain't never had a scallop.
Copy !req
192. - Listen, I gotta say my piece,
Copy !req
193. and then I won't
bother you anymore.
Copy !req
194. - Why can't you just accept
the fact that this is over?
Copy !req
195. - Because I love you.
Copy !req
196. I love you.
Copy !req
197. That's why.
Copy !req
198. And I can't let you walk away
without knowing that.
Copy !req
199. - You're just saying that
to try and get me back.
Copy !req
200. - I'm not. I promise.
Copy !req
201. Lisa, you have my heart.
Copy !req
202. I have never felt
this way before
Copy !req
203. about anyone in my life.
Copy !req
204. And if you can't forgive me,
Copy !req
205. then I just gotta
live with that.
Copy !req
206. But I had to let you know
how much you mean to me.
Copy !req
207. - We can't do this now.
We're here.
Copy !req
208. But...
Copy !req
209. you should know that I...
Copy !req
210. We'll talk tomorrow.
- Lisa.
Copy !req
211. - Hey, real talk?
- Hmm?
Copy !req
212. - I'm really glad you left
the influencer house.
Copy !req
213. - Yeah, but don't get used
to this hotel, okay?
Copy !req
214. When my parents see
this credit card bill,
Copy !req
215. I'm gonna have
some explaining to do.
Copy !req
216. But this is nice.
Copy !req
217. - I'm trying to keep
whatever this is going
Copy !req
218. for as long as possible.
Copy !req
219. - Yes! I am a genius.
I'm a genius.
Copy !req
220. Okay, so Ivy's post
at my mom's gala
Copy !req
221. got her followed
by Edward Enninful
Copy !req
222. and Aurora James.
Copy !req
223. - Oh, that's—that's great!
Copy !req
224. Uh...
Copy !req
225. am I supposed to know
who the fuck those people are?
Copy !req
226. - Basically,
the level of clout they are on,
Copy !req
227. Ivy hasn't even
tapped into that yet.
Copy !req
228. This is big.
Copy !req
229. - Hey, and you got her there.
Copy !req
230. Just like you got my record
store up to 5,000 followers.
Copy !req
231. - Aww.
Copy !req
232. I love how proud you are
of such a small number.
Copy !req
233. - Okay, you can keep the jokes,
but I mean, the truth is,
Copy !req
234. you know how to strategize,
Hil,
Copy !req
235. and I just feel like
that's worth way more than
Copy !req
236. just posing
for some pics, you know?
Copy !req
237. - But I look good
in those pictures, though.
Copy !req
238. Period.
Copy !req
239. - Oh, I know you look good
in those pictures.
Copy !req
240. But I'm just saying, I want you
to just stop thinking of Ivy
Copy !req
241. as some lifeline
Copy !req
242. and start thinking
about her as a partner.
Copy !req
243. - Oh, my God, it's Will.
Copy !req
244. Sorry, cuz.
Copy !req
245. - Oh, shit.
Hey, this is Will too.
Copy !req
246. Uh...
Copy !req
247. Yo. Will, what up?
Copy !req
248. - Yo, Jazz, can you
put Hilary on the phone?
Copy !req
249. - Uh, I don't know
what you talking about.
Copy !req
250. Why would I be with Hilary?
Copy !req
251. - What?
Copy !req
252. - Bro, come on.
I seen y'all at the reception.
Copy !req
253. You ain't fooling me.
Come on, put her on.
Copy !req
254. - Well, he knows, so...
Copy !req
255. - Will, I swear to you,
if you say anything—
Copy !req
256. - Listen, Hil, I won't.
Copy !req
257. Listen, okay, I really,
really need your help, okay?
Copy !req
258. Lisa said that she'd
give me one last chance
Copy !req
259. to talk to her today,
Copy !req
260. and I just need your advice
on how not to miss my shot.
Copy !req
261. - Okay. Yes. Of course.
Copy !req
262. What's going on, cuz?
Copy !req
263. - Come in.
Copy !req
264. - Morning, son.
Copy !req
265. I just wanted to see
what you had planned
Copy !req
266. for the rest of the day.
Copy !req
267. - I was just gonna go work out
Copy !req
268. and then maybe go
sneaker shopping after.
Copy !req
269. Why, what's up?
Copy !req
270. - Well, I know it's been
a while since we spent
Copy !req
271. some quality time together,
Copy !req
272. and, well,
I heard a couple F1 teams
Copy !req
273. are in town training
for Grand Prix West.
Copy !req
274. - Wait, like, we're gonna go
watch time trials?
Copy !req
275. - Better.
I called in a couple favors
Copy !req
276. and arranged for each of us
to get some time on the track.
Copy !req
277. - Holy shit!
Copy !req
278. Dad, wait, that's—
that's amazing!
Copy !req
279. Wow!
Does Will know about it yet?
Copy !req
280. - Well, I thought it could be
just me and you, Carlton.
Copy !req
281. You know? I mean,
unless you want him there.
Copy !req
282. - No. I mean, yeah.
Copy !req
283. But he doesn't really like
racing that much anyway.
Copy !req
284. - Then it's settled.
Copy !req
285. We can leave
when you get back from the gym.
Copy !req
286. - Great.
- All right.
Copy !req
287. It'll be fun.
Copy !req
288. - Yo, C.
- Yo.
Copy !req
289. - Let me fix you up
some cheese eggs, man.
Copy !req
290. - No, thanks. I am all good.
Copy !req
291. Trying to eat healthy.
Copy !req
292. Which is impossible, because
we have no food in the house.
Copy !req
293. Yo, what gives?
Copy !req
294. - Just another side effect
of not having Geoffrey around.
Copy !req
295. - All right. Well, good thing
he's coming back soon.
Copy !req
296. - Doubt it.
- What are you talking about?
Copy !req
297. I thought he went on vacation.
Copy !req
298. - Vacation?
Copy !req
299. No—no, Uncle Phil told me
he had a family emergency.
Copy !req
300. - See?
This is why I checked his room.
Copy !req
301. And guess what.
All of his stuff is gone.
Copy !req
302. - But Geoffrey wouldn't leave
without saying anything.
Copy !req
303. - I'm not so sure about that.
Copy !req
304. - Do you know something?
Copy !req
305. - You remember when I told you
that I had an opportunity
Copy !req
306. to find out about my father,
but I chose not to?
Copy !req
307. - Yeah.
- Right.
Copy !req
308. Well, Geoffrey
found out that info,
Copy !req
309. and Uncle Phil
was not happy about it.
Copy !req
310. - So you think Dad
fired Geoffrey?
Copy !req
311. - Okay, no. Stop. No.
Copy !req
312. What could Geoffrey
possibly have found
Copy !req
313. that would cause him to leave?
Copy !req
314. - I don't know.
I don't know.
Copy !req
315. I didn't read the info before
I gave it to Uncle Phil, so...
Copy !req
316. - Vivian?
Copy !req
317. I wasn't expecting
to see you today.
Copy !req
318. To what do I owe the pleasure?
Copy !req
319. - Well, for obvious reasons,
Copy !req
320. we haven't spoken much
since San Diego.
Copy !req
321. And you're a big part of why
I was awarded the fellowship,
Copy !req
322. and I just wanted to let you
know how much I appreciate it.
Copy !req
323. - Helping artists such
as yourself share their gift
Copy !req
324. with the world
is what makes me happiest.
Copy !req
325. - Which is why I would like
Copy !req
326. to work with you
to help other artists of color
Copy !req
327. to get the same opportunity
I have.
Copy !req
328. I mean, you have an amazing
network, great expertise.
Copy !req
329. I mean, clearly you have
an eye for talent.
Copy !req
330. - I'm honored, Vivian. Truly.
Copy !req
331. But how does your husband
feel about that?
Copy !req
332. - Phil and I have moved past
all of his initial objections
Copy !req
333. to me working with you.
Copy !req
334. - So anyway, what do you think?
Copy !req
335. - Hey, it's Lisa.
Copy !req
336. Leave a message,
Copy !req
337. and I'll get right
back to you.
Copy !req
338. - Lisa, um, it's me.
Copy !req
339. I was calling
because I was hoping
Copy !req
340. that we could continue
last night's conversation.
Copy !req
341. You know, I'm on my way
to basketball practice,
Copy !req
342. but, uh, call me back.
Copy !req
343. Please.
Copy !req
344. - Carlton!
Copy !req
345. Let's go, son.
The racetrack awaits.
Copy !req
346. - Be right down.
Copy !req
347. - Lou.
Copy !req
348. - How you been, Phil?
Copy !req
349. - What the hell
are you doing here?
Copy !req
350. - I heard my son asked for me.
Copy !req
351. - After the British guy
filled me in on...
Copy !req
352. How bad my son
wanted to see me,
Copy !req
353. I hopped on the next plane.
Copy !req
354. Figured I might be able
to do some good, you know?
Copy !req
355. - We both know you could have
done that three years ago,
Copy !req
356. when you got out of prison.
Copy !req
357. - Huh.
Copy !req
358. No ex-con wants to look
his boy in the eyes,
Copy !req
359. especially when my room
at the halfway house
Copy !req
360. was worse than my prison cell.
Copy !req
361. And I couldn't find
a job for months, so...
Copy !req
362. - I don't doubt your life's
been hard, Lou.
Copy !req
363. But you put your selfish pride
ahead of your own son.
Copy !req
364. - Hmm.
Copy !req
365. Now, why am I not surprised
Copy !req
366. that you would see it
that way, Phil?
Copy !req
367. Rich folk always say the rest
of us are being prideful
Copy !req
368. whenever us common folk insist
on holding on to our dignity.
Copy !req
369. There he is.
That's the Lou I remember.
Copy !req
370. Can't believe it took you
this long
Copy !req
371. to throw my money in my face.
Copy !req
372. - Oh, come on.
Copy !req
373. Don't act like money
don't matter, Phil.
Copy !req
374. I've been out for three years,
and I'm still scraping by.
Copy !req
375. You know I had to ask my pastor
to pay for my plane ticket?
Copy !req
376. And I've been working hard,
Phil.
Copy !req
377. Too damn hard.
Copy !req
378. And I ain't got nothing
to show for it.
Copy !req
379. And then your man Jeremy—
- Geoffrey.
Copy !req
380. - Whatever his damn name is,
Copy !req
381. he shows up, and he tells me
Copy !req
382. my son needs me.
Copy !req
383. And he says you're against it.
Copy !req
384. - What, you're surprised?
Copy !req
385. Hmm?
Copy !req
386. - I ain't the same man
you used to know, Phil.
Copy !req
387. I wouldn't be here if I was.
Copy !req
388. - Well, Will lives in my house,
under my care,
Copy !req
389. so I'll talk to Vivian about
it, and I'll let you know.
Copy !req
390. - What the hell am I supposed
to do till then?
Copy !req
391. - Well, you've waited 13 years.
Copy !req
392. I think you can wait
a little longer.
Copy !req
393. I'll be in touch.
Copy !req
394. - All right.
Copy !req
395. - I mean, why would he
just show up like this?
Copy !req
396. - 'Cause he wants something
from us, Viv.
Copy !req
397. It's all a game.
Copy !req
398. - I mean, did he ask
for anything,
Copy !req
399. other than to see Will?
Copy !req
400. - No. But think about it.
Copy !req
401. I mean, he could have
reached out to Will
Copy !req
402. over the past three years,
but instead he decides
Copy !req
403. to finally show up
Copy !req
404. when Will's staying
in a Bel-Air mansion.
Copy !req
405. - I don't know, Phil.
Copy !req
406. - Well, you remember
why he went to prison
Copy !req
407. in the first place.
Copy !req
408. - People change.
Copy !req
409. Isn't that the reason
why you ran for DA,
Copy !req
410. to give people a second chance
who made a mistake?
Copy !req
411. And, I mean, he's always
maintained his innocence.
Copy !req
412. - Yeah, well, I was his lawyer,
and trust me, he wasn't.
Copy !req
413. - Hey, Will.
Copy !req
414. - Hey, Mighty Mouse.
Aren't you supposed to be
Copy !req
415. zipping around a track
at like 200 miles an hour?
Copy !req
416. - Yeah, um, we had to postpone.
Something came up.
Copy !req
417. Look, I have to tell you
something.
Copy !req
418. I'm gonna need you to sit down
so I can tell you what it is.
Copy !req
419. I'm not even sure
if I should tell you.
Copy !req
420. - Bro, whatever it is,
just lay it on me, a'ight?
Copy !req
421. - While you were away,
Copy !req
422. your dad came by the house.
Copy !req
423. - What?
What are you talking about?
Copy !req
424. My dad was here? Today?
Copy !req
425. - Yeah. And he talked to my dad
for, like, a while,
Copy !req
426. and then he just left.
Copy !req
427. - What—what—what did he want?
Copy !req
428. What did he say?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
429. But my dad doesn't even know
that I know.
Copy !req
430. In fact, he lied about why we
had to postpone the racetrack.
Copy !req
431. He said it was
a business emergency.
Copy !req
432. - So how do you know
it's my pops?
Copy !req
433. Hold up. Hold up.
Hold up. Hold up.
Copy !req
434. No, I told Uncle Phil
I didn't want to read that.
Copy !req
435. Bro, I don't want
to read that, a'ight?
Copy !req
436. I just want to—
Copy !req
437. I want to close the door
on this whole situation,
Copy !req
438. so just...
Copy !req
439. - I know.
Copy !req
440. That wish
isn't gonna come true.
Copy !req
441. Your dad's here, and mine
isn't giving straight answers,
Copy !req
442. and this folder has all
the answers you need.
Copy !req
443. - Prison.
Copy !req
444. - Look, I think the best thing
that we can do is offer Lou
Copy !req
445. a chance to come back out here,
Copy !req
446. only after we've had the chance
Copy !req
447. to make sure that Will
can handle meeting him.
Copy !req
448. - How do we decide
if he's even ready, Phil?
Copy !req
449. And who's to say it's even
our right to decide?
Copy !req
450. - It's our right because
he's under our roof,
Copy !req
451. and he's part
of our family now.
Copy !req
452. - Okay, I get that,
but we should call Vy
Copy !req
453. and see what she thinks, right?
Copy !req
454. Will.
Copy !req
455. - I figured you two
were talking about me.
Copy !req
456. And my pops?
Copy !req
457. Don't bother
trying to cover up.
Copy !req
458. I know he was here.
Copy !req
459. So you all really
weren't gonna tell me.
Copy !req
460. - We were just discussing...
- Yeah.
Copy !req
461. - What the next steps
should be.
Copy !req
462. And now that you know, I mean,
Copy !req
463. do you want
to meet with your father?
Copy !req
464. - Well, that depends.
What does he want with me?
Copy !req
465. What? What is with you two?
Copy !req
466. Why can't y'all just answer
a simple-ass question?
Copy !req
467. - It's complicated. Okay?
Copy !req
468. Listen.
Copy !req
469. To be blunt, your father's
saying all the right things,
Copy !req
470. but Lou's not trustworthy.
Copy !req
471. Now, listen—listen.
- Not trustworthy.
Copy !req
472. - He's a con man
who was convicted
Copy !req
473. of robbing an old man
he said owed him money.
Copy !req
474. - And you were his lawyer.
Copy !req
475. Right?
Copy !req
476. Yeah. I read the report.
Copy !req
477. - Report?
Copy !req
478. - I asked Geoffrey
to look into my father,
Copy !req
479. and Uncle Phil wasn't too happy
about it, were you, Unc?
Copy !req
480. - Is that why Geoffrey left?
Copy !req
481. - The decision to part ways
was mutual.
Copy !req
482. - Not on my part.
Copy !req
483. Listen, we'll pick this up
later, okay?
Copy !req
484. What else did you learn
from this Geoffrey report?
Copy !req
485. - That my pops
had it rough from the jump.
Copy !req
486. His daddy was a gangster
who got killed in jail.
Copy !req
487. His mom died when he was 15.
He dropped out of school at 19.
Copy !req
488. He got arrested
for stealing a car,
Copy !req
489. so he already had a prior
Copy !req
490. when he was facing
the assault charges.
Copy !req
491. He didn't have a second chance
like I did.
Copy !req
492. - That's a sympathetic view
of your father, Will.
Copy !req
493. - And he doesn't
deserve sympathy?
Copy !req
494. Is that what you're saying?
Copy !req
495. You know,
reading that report...
Copy !req
496. I realized that I've been wrong
about him my whole life,
Copy !req
497. because everyone told me
he walked out on me.
Copy !req
498. Like he had a choice.
Copy !req
499. But the truth
is he got arrested,
Copy !req
500. and my mom just cut him off.
Copy !req
501. - You see...
Copy !req
502. That's where it gets
complicated, Will.
Copy !req
503. Your father is volatile
and unpredictable,
Copy !req
504. and we didn't want you
in contact with someone
Copy !req
505. who would manipulate you
or disrupt your life.
Copy !req
506. I'm sorry, Will.
Copy !req
507. That's why we were
determined to keep you
Copy !req
508. from reaching out to him.
Copy !req
509. And that's why I didn't
want you to track down somebody
Copy !req
510. who could have reached out
to you all these years
Copy !req
511. when he was in prison,
but didn't.
Copy !req
512. And I didn't want him
to hurt you
Copy !req
513. any more than he already had.
Copy !req
514. - And he showed up here today.
Copy !req
515. - Yeah.
Copy !req
516. - The decision to see him
or not is still yours to make.
Copy !req
517. What do you want to do?
Copy !req
518. - Hey, baby.
What's up?
Copy !req
519. - My dad is here.
Copy !req
520. - What? How?
Copy !req
521. - I—I mean, it's my fault,
actually, I—
Copy !req
522. I didn't know he would come,
but I'm the reason he's here.
Copy !req
523. - Oh, God. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
524. Okay, what—
what did he say, Will?
Copy !req
525. - Nothing.
I haven't talked to him yet.
Copy !req
526. I wanted to talk to you first.
Copy !req
527. Why didn't you tell me
he was in prison?
Copy !req
528. - Um...
Copy !req
529. Because we—we thought it was
Copy !req
530. what was best
at the time, Will.
Copy !req
531. You were four years old.
Copy !req
532. Baby, how do you think
Copy !req
533. you would have handled
hearing that?
Copy !req
534. But I'm not four anymore.
Copy !req
535. Why did you all think
it was okay
Copy !req
536. to lie to me
these past 13 years?
Copy !req
537. Mom...
Copy !req
538. - I'm sorry if you feel like
we made the wrong decision,
Copy !req
539. but you need to know
Copy !req
540. that we made that
terrible choice out of love.
Copy !req
541. I love you so much, baby.
Copy !req
542. I'm sorry you had
to find out this way.
Copy !req
543. - I want to talk to him.
Copy !req
544. - There it is.
Copy !req
545. - Good? Okay.
Copy !req
546. - What do you think?
Copy !req
547. - Girl, you look amazing.
I mean, you look gorgeous.
Copy !req
548. - Thanks.
Copy !req
549. But if I wanted my ass kissed,
I would have asked one of them.
Copy !req
550. What's up?
Copy !req
551. - Nothing's up.
Copy !req
552. It's just,
the picture relies a lot
Copy !req
553. on your dress and your body,
but where's the reference?
Copy !req
554. Where's the story?
Where's the drama?
Copy !req
555. How are you more than just
some thot playing dress-up?
Copy !req
556. I mean, I only say this
because it's hard
Copy !req
557. to get your audience to see you
in a different light.
Copy !req
558. Trust me.
I learned the hard way.
Copy !req
559. - Okay, well, don't stop now.
Copy !req
560. - Okay.
Copy !req
561. Well, the dress is hiding
your shoes, which are killer.
Copy !req
562. So give me some movement.
Give me a twirl.
Copy !req
563. Give me Michelle Obama
"Elle" cover 2018.
Copy !req
564. - I like that idea.
We'll give it a try.
Copy !req
565. - Cool.
Copy !req
566. - I wish someone on my team
had ideas like that.
Copy !req
567. - Well, you know, I could be
the person on your team.
Copy !req
568. - I thought you had
your own thing, though.
Copy !req
569. - Oh, no, I do. I do.
Copy !req
570. But when I saw the boost
Copy !req
571. that you and I
both got from one event,
Copy !req
572. I realized we can do
a lot more together than alone.
Copy !req
573. - I don't know, Hilary.
Copy !req
574. After a while,
Copy !req
575. just going to upscale events
is gonna get played out.
Copy !req
576. - Which is why I think
Copy !req
577. you should buy Kylo
out of my influencer house.
Copy !req
578. - Uh-huh.
- Just think about it.
Copy !req
579. We clear out Kylo,
Copy !req
580. and we rebrand
as this female-forward space.
Copy !req
581. You, me, Fanta, Monica.
Copy !req
582. - Right,
because if I buy the house,
Copy !req
583. then I buy your contract,
Copy !req
584. and then you
no longer owe Kylo.
Copy !req
585. - Consider it an investment in
the brand and the partnership.
Copy !req
586. I mean, we could do books,
jewelry, podcasts.
Copy !req
587. - I like it. I do.
Copy !req
588. - Okay. Great.
Copy !req
589. - Okay.
Copy !req
590. Let me chop it up
with my accountant.
Copy !req
591. But I think we need
to start planning
Copy !req
592. to take over that house.
Copy !req
593. - Okay.
- Yep.
Copy !req
594. And I'm gonna work
on my Michelle Obama twirl.
Copy !req
595. - Okay. You work on that.
Go get it.
Copy !req
596. - Okay, what's next?
Copy !req
597. - Yes!
Copy !req
598. - Uh, Phil will bring Will down
in a moment.
Copy !req
599. Can I get you anything
to drink?
Copy !req
600. - Yeah, some water.
Thanks.
Copy !req
601. - Lou, I know we haven't
always seen eye-to-eye, but...
Copy !req
602. - Yeah, you always thought
your sister could do better.
Copy !req
603. - Let's not go there.
Copy !req
604. I just want to talk
about Will right now.
Copy !req
605. - Okay. I'm listening.
Copy !req
606. Thank you.
Copy !req
607. - Look, I don't know if you
changed for the better or not.
Copy !req
608. But while you're with Will,
Copy !req
609. I need you to act like you
are Father of the Year.
Copy !req
610. I need you to tell him
that you thought about him
Copy !req
611. every single day,
and bringing him into the world
Copy !req
612. was the best thing
you ever did in your life.
Copy !req
613. And if you fail
to make that boy happy,
Copy !req
614. I swear
I'll kick your Black ass
Copy !req
615. out of my house myself,
you feel me?
Copy !req
616. - That's cute.
Copy !req
617. Yeah. I got you.
Copy !req
618. I see you still got
that West Philly in you.
Copy !req
619. - Don't you forget it.
Copy !req
620. - Sup, Will?
Copy !req
621. - Yo, Uncle Phil, Aunt Viv,
can you—
Copy !req
622. can you let me and him talk
for a second?
Copy !req
623. - Will, I don't think
that's a good idea.
Copy !req
624. - Well, that's how I want it,
Uncle Phil.
Copy !req
625. - Let them have their privacy.
- All right. All right.
Copy !req
626. - We'll be in your uncle's
office, okay?
Copy !req
627. - 13 years since
I've seen or heard from you.
Copy !req
628. What you got to say
for yourself?
Copy !req
629. - How come you never reached
out to me from prison?
Copy !req
630. - 'Cause I didn't want you
Copy !req
631. to see me locked up
in a damn cage, okay?
Copy !req
632. That would have been bad
for us both.
Copy !req
633. And I didn't want that.
Copy !req
634. - Fuck what you wanted.
Copy !req
635. What about what I needed?
Copy !req
636. Man, you don't know how bad
that shit fucked up my head.
Copy !req
637. Sometimes imagining you
with another family and happy.
Copy !req
638. Other times imagining you dead.
Copy !req
639. Shit, you probably would have
been better off that way.
Copy !req
640. - I know you're angry.
Copy !req
641. I know you're angry.
Copy !req
642. But you can't tell me
I didn't think about you
Copy !req
643. every moment I was locked up
in that cell—
Copy !req
644. - Come on, come on.
That's bullshit.
Copy !req
645. - You know, my daddy was locked
up when I was a little boy.
Copy !req
646. Seeing him all them years
behind that glass,
Copy !req
647. it changed me.
Copy !req
648. Seeing the man I idolized
become so broken.
Copy !req
649. So cold.
Copy !req
650. Like a shell of himself.
Copy !req
651. Every time I went to visit,
it got worse.
Copy !req
652. For us both.
Copy !req
653. When it was my turn
to do my time...
Copy !req
654. I made the choice I made
Copy !req
655. 'cause I didn't want that
for you.
Copy !req
656. You deserved better.
Copy !req
657. Still do.
Copy !req
658. - Man, this might sound crazy,
but I think I remember
Copy !req
659. you taking me to a Sixers game
when I was like three or four.
Copy !req
660. - Ha!
- Did that happen?
Copy !req
661. - Yeah!
Copy !req
662. Yeah, that happened.
Copy !req
663. Yo, I had scalped floor seats.
Copy !req
664. One of my partners,
he worked security,
Copy !req
665. so he got us in the locker room
for a second.
Copy !req
666. - Yo, that's right, 'cause
we had snuck in that joint.
Copy !req
667. - Yeah, and then your little
ass started wandering off
Copy !req
668. while I was trying
to get Iverson's autograph.
Copy !req
669. Yo!
Copy !req
670. Man, I was like, "Yo, your mom
is gonna kill me."
Copy !req
671. - Oh, yeah, she'd have been
on your ass.
Copy !req
672. - Yeah, it didn't matter.
Copy !req
673. Still jumped on my back
as soon as we got home,
Copy !req
674. 'cause we came in late.
Copy !req
675. - Mm.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
676. I never could win
with that woman.
Copy !req
677. - So, um, what happened
between you two?
Copy !req
678. - I mean, we was good
for a while,
Copy !req
679. and then, um...
Copy !req
680. and then Viv and Phil
started getting rich.
Copy !req
681. Well, Phil started
getting rich.
Copy !req
682. And then all the sudden,
Copy !req
683. I wasn't bringing in
enough money.
Copy !req
684. - Mm, Mom said you was always
Copy !req
685. trying to find an angle,
scheming and shit.
Copy !req
686. - Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
687. Yeah, she would
put it all on me.
Copy !req
688. Right? You know,
'cause she never does no wrong.
Copy !req
689. Truth is, she's the one
Copy !req
690. that put the pressure
on me to hustle.
Copy !req
691. - Mm.
Copy !req
692. So it was her idea to rob
Copy !req
693. and beat that old man
half to death.
Copy !req
694. - Nigga. She pushed me.
Copy !req
695. On my back, 24/7,
365 on my back, bro.
Copy !req
696. And then her ungrateful ass
never appreciated anything—
Copy !req
697. - Yo, watch your mouth
talking about my mom.
Copy !req
698. - You want to know
the truth, boy?
Copy !req
699. - What's up?
- Being with your mama
Copy !req
700. was the worst mistake
I ever made in my life.
Copy !req
701. - You better chill the fuck out
talking about my mom like that.
Copy !req
702. - Boy, you better back up.
Copy !req
703. Take that bass out your voice.
Copy !req
704. - What's up, man?
I ain't scared of your bum ass.
Copy !req
705. - Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Copy !req
706. - You don't know me!
You don't know me!
Copy !req
707. - You don't know me, bitch!
- Hey, back up.
Copy !req
708. Don't you touch him, Lou!
Copy !req
709. - I didn't come here
to be disrespected.
Copy !req
710. - You ain't earn no respect!
Copy !req
711. - Nigga, you the one that came
looking for me, remember?
Copy !req
712. - And if I hadn't,
would you have showed up?
Copy !req
713. That's right.
I didn't think so.
Copy !req
714. - I was trying
to get on my feet.
Copy !req
715. Here he go, still lying.
Copy !req
716. - You being unfair now, son.
Copy !req
717. - Don't you ever fucking
call me "son" in your life!
Copy !req
718. You ain't earn that shit!
Copy !req
719. You think you can
walk up in here
Copy !req
720. and make all those years
of lies disappear?
Copy !req
721. You crazy?
Copy !req
722. - That's why I'm trying
to start over
Copy !req
723. and rebuild
what we had, you know?
Copy !req
724. - By trying to place the blame
on my mom for what you did?
Copy !req
725. Nah, I got a better idea.
Copy !req
726. How about you take
your fucking bum ass
Copy !req
727. and get the fuck
up out of here?
Copy !req
728. I don't ever want
to see you again.
Copy !req
729. You go find a ditch
and you fucking lay in it.
Copy !req
730. 'Cause I don't need you.
Copy !req
731. Bitch-ass nigga.
Copy !req
732. - Lou, he's just a boy.
Copy !req
733. Listen, if you care about him
and you want to fix things,
Copy !req
734. you just—I don't know,
Copy !req
735. you just gotta give him
a little time.
Copy !req
736. - I came here to make things
right for that boy!
Copy !req
737. But he made his choice.
Copy !req
738. Now he's gonna be the one
that has to live
Copy !req
739. with the consequences, not me.
Copy !req
740. - Uh, Lou's gone.
Copy !req
741. - Good.
Copy !req
742. - Hey, do you want
to talk about this?
Copy !req
743. - Talking ain't done
no good today, man.
Copy !req
744. - Will? Yo, Will.
Copy !req
745. Will, stop!
Where are you going?
Copy !req
746. Stop. Will!
Copy !req
747. Hey. Listen, man.
Just hold up a second.
Copy !req
748. Don't leave, man.
Copy !req
749. - I'm not staying here
another night.
Copy !req
750. - Will. Will, please.
Copy !req
751. maybe you should just
sleep on it
Copy !req
752. before you make
a rash decision.
Copy !req
753. - You sleep on it
before you put
Copy !req
754. all this bullshit in motion?
Copy !req
755. - Listen, I know you're hurt
and confused,
Copy !req
756. but I promise you
we can fix this as a family.
Copy !req
757. - We are not a family!
- Will.
Copy !req
758. - You abandoned me and my moms,
just like my pops.
Copy !req
759. Ten years, ain't had one visit.
Copy !req
760. And you call that family?
Copy !req
761. And you stood right there,
right there, and you told me
Copy !req
762. you would give me
every opportunity
Copy !req
763. to create the future I want.
Copy !req
764. - And I meant that.
- No, you didn't.
Copy !req
765. You lied, and you clipped
my wings from the start.
Copy !req
766. You let me think
my dad abandoned me.
Copy !req
767. And now I can't trust
none of y'all.
Copy !req
768. - Hey. Hey. Will. Will.
Please, man, don't go.
Copy !req
769. - Carlton. Carlton.
Copy !req
770. - Please, wait.
- Carlton. Carlton.
Copy !req
771. - You don't—
you don't have to leave.
Copy !req
772. - Look, Carlton, man,
Copy !req
773. Ashley, Hilary...
Copy !req
774. I love you all.
Copy !req
775. But I gotta do
what's right for me.
Copy !req
776. - Will.
- Will.
Copy !req
777. Will!
Copy !req
778. - Yeah, I understand, but if
Copy !req
779. you could make this happen
as soon as possible,
Copy !req
780. we'd appreciate it.
Copy !req
781. - What do they say?
Copy !req
782. - They say that if Geoffrey's
the only one
Copy !req
783. who set up the car GPS,
Copy !req
784. then he's the only one
who can track it.
Copy !req
785. - It's our car.
- I know.
Copy !req
786. - Okay, have you been able
to get in touch with Geoffrey?
Copy !req
787. It's been three hours.
Copy !req
788. - Unless we report
Will as missing,
Copy !req
789. we're stuck at the moment.
Copy !req
790. - Dad.
- Hmm?
Copy !req
791. - How come Geoffrey
isn't returning our calls?
Copy !req
792. - I have no idea.
Copy !req
793. Hopefully,
we'll hear back soon.
Copy !req
794. - Where are you going?
Copy !req
795. - I'm going to find Will.
Copy !req
796. - It's Vy.
- You should answer it.
Copy !req
797. Maybe she's heard something.
Copy !req
798. - Dad. We know about Geoffrey.
Copy !req
799. - Hey, Vy.
Copy !req
800. - What happened with Lou?
Is he still there?
Copy !req
801. - No. He left.
Copy !req
802. - Okay, then what happened?
I heard from Will.
Copy !req
803. I keep calling and texting.
He won't answer.
Copy !req
804. - That's because it didn't go
so well between Lou and Will.
Copy !req
805. - How bad?
- Very bad.
Copy !req
806. That boy ran out of here
with tears in his eyes.
Copy !req
807. We're trying to find him now.
Copy !req
808. - Find him now?
Copy !req
809. What you mean, he left, and you
just—you just let him go?
Copy !req
810. I should have known
this was gonna happen.
Copy !req
811. I should have told that boy
the truth myself.
Copy !req
812. Because I'm the one
who made that choice
Copy !req
813. to keep Lou
out of Will's life.
Copy !req
814. And I could have
been there for him.
Copy !req
815. If I had been there for him,
Copy !req
816. this never would have happened.
Copy !req
817. - We're going to find him, Vy.
Copy !req
818. - What have I done, Viv?
Copy !req
819. What have I done?
Copy !req
820. - Hey.
Copy !req
821. - What are you doing here,
Carlton?
Copy !req
822. - Hey. I need you
to help me find Will.
Copy !req
823. He's gone missing.
Copy !req
824. - Missing.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
825. He left a few hours ago,
and no one knows where he is.
Copy !req
826. - He stood me up today,
Carlton.
Copy !req
827. After he told me he loved me,
he stood me up.
Copy !req
828. - His dad showed up
at the house today.
Copy !req
829. - Oh, my God.
Copy !req
830. - Yeah.
Copy !req
831. And it was bad, Lisa.
It was so bad.
Copy !req
832. It's like everything
that he was afraid of
Copy !req
833. about his father is true.
Copy !req
834. But it's somehow worse,
Copy !req
835. 'cause my parents have been
lying to him this whole time.
Copy !req
836. I think it was all too much
for him to take,
Copy !req
837. and so he ran away,
Copy !req
838. and—and I don't know
if he's gonna come back,
Copy !req
839. so you have to help me
find him, Lis.
Copy !req
840. He never turned his back on me.
Copy !req
841. And I needed that.
Copy !req
842. And I need that now.
Copy !req
843. So please, Lis,
help them find him.
Copy !req
844. Please.
Copy !req
845. - Your whole family is worried
about you, Will.
Copy !req
846. Even Carlton.
Copy !req
847. What the fuck
are you doing up here, man?
Copy !req
848. - They lied.
Copy !req
849. Man...
Copy !req
850. Man, I spent
my whole life wondering
Copy !req
851. why I ain't have a dad.
Copy !req
852. Just 'cause they lied.
Copy !req
853. - They thought they was
looking out—
Copy !req
854. - That's bullshit!
Copy !req
855. My dad said he was looking out
for me by not being in my life.
Copy !req
856. My mom said she was looking out
for me by sending me out here.
Copy !req
857. It's like nobody wants me.
Copy !req
858. - There is a house
full of people
Copy !req
859. in Bel-Air
that want you around, man.
Copy !req
860. All you gotta do
is get in your car and go back.
Copy !req
861. I promise, everything
will work itself out.
Copy !req
862. - No. It's done.
Copy !req
863. It's over.
Copy !req
864. You told me that the city
would try to make me forget
Copy !req
865. who I am and where I come from.
Copy !req
866. And you were right.
Copy !req
867. - Remembering
where you come from
Copy !req
868. doesn't mean you can't change
your life for the better, Will.
Copy !req
869. The key to happiness
is staying true
Copy !req
870. to who you are
no matter where you are.
Copy !req
871. And I ain't saying
it's gonna be easy.
Copy !req
872. But it's possible.
Copy !req
873. Now, this whole moment
right now, man,
Copy !req
874. it's all you, Will.
Copy !req
875. You got all these possibilities
and choices
Copy !req
876. right in front of you.
Copy !req
877. But your mom ain't here.
Copy !req
878. Your aunt not here.
Your uncle not here.
Copy !req
879. So you gotta make a choice.
Copy !req
880. Where do you want to go?
Copy !req
