1. - Previously on "Bel-Air"...
Copy !req
2. - My advisory team is saying
that the Black voters
Copy !req
3. are feeling
disconnected from me.
Copy !req
4. - Come on, Yamacraw.
Show me what you got.
Copy !req
5. - Let's see it, Yamacraw.
Copy !req
6. - After a long discussion,
Copy !req
7. Reverend Lamont agreed
to support my campaign.
Copy !req
8. - Mom and Dad said
that you were out here
Copy !req
9. for a better education.
Copy !req
10. Well, I hope one day
Copy !req
11. we can talk about
why you're really here.
Copy !req
12. - You just couldn't stand
that my life was taking shape
Copy !req
13. not as fast as you want.
Copy !req
14. - It's been two years, Hilary.
Copy !req
15. What have you got
to show for it?
Copy !req
16. What have you even figured out?
Copy !req
17. - I figured out
that you don't believe in me.
Copy !req
18. - You have a gift, Viv.
Copy !req
19. - Had a gift.
Copy !req
20. - The world needs
to see your talent again.
Copy !req
21. What's stopping you, Philip?
Copy !req
22. - Bro, you need
to see this shit.
Copy !req
23. - I've found you, you
little cocky motherfucker.
Copy !req
24. - You've been doing
okay lately, Carlton?
Copy !req
25. - Feeling better
than I was last week.
Copy !req
26. Let's just play.
Copy !req
27. Tick tock, old man Yamacraw.
Copy !req
28. - That's check,
and that's mate.
Copy !req
29. - You had me three moves ago.
Copy !req
30. - Oh, really?
'Cause I counted five.
Copy !req
31. - Mm.
Copy !req
32. I gotta stop going easy
on you, son.
Copy !req
33. - Oh, easy?
You wanna run that back?
Copy !req
34. - I would, but I gotta handle
a few things
Copy !req
35. before tomorrow's
campaign events.
Copy !req
36. - Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
37. High-stakes day tomorrow.
You feeling good?
Copy !req
38. - I am.
Copy !req
39. Particularly excited about you
Copy !req
40. and Will pounding
the pavement together, huh?
Copy !req
41. Getting folks
registered to vote.
Copy !req
42. - Look, about that.
Copy !req
43. Did Mom put you up to the whole
Kobe-Shaq Carlton-Will combo?
Copy !req
44. - First of all,
Copy !req
45. those two won rings
when they worked together.
Copy !req
46. Secondly, your mom and I,
we move as one.
Copy !req
47. You know that.
- Fair enough.
Copy !req
48. But look, I just don't see
what I stand to gain
Copy !req
49. from the whole forced
Will arrangement.
Copy !req
50. - Is me not grounding you for
six months incentive enough?
Copy !req
51. - I'm pretty sure you said
Copy !req
52. that fear isn't
an effective motivator
Copy !req
53. in that one NPR interview
you did.
Copy !req
54. - All right, you're making me
reconsider my stance.
Copy !req
55. What's your pitch?
Copy !req
56. - If Will and I register
30 voters with no drama,
Copy !req
57. I get VIP seats
to the Grand Prix at Monaco.
Copy !req
58. - 50 voters.
- Done.
Copy !req
59. - You should've countered
at 40.
Copy !req
60. See you, son.
Copy !req
61. - Hey, Lisa.
Copy !req
62. So you trying and come over for
a little study session or what?
Copy !req
63. - The class is not
that difficult.
Copy !req
64. - Come on now, for you.
Copy !req
65. I mean, you grew up going
Copy !req
66. to all those art museums
and whatnot.
Copy !req
67. I didn't.
Copy !req
68. My auntie talked me into taking
this art history elective.
Copy !req
69. - You know,
you could have taken ballet.
Copy !req
70. You know, I would pay
to see you in a leotard.
Copy !req
71. - Oh, you got jokes.
Copy !req
72. Nah, but for real,
Copy !req
73. I need somebody
to do this term paper on.
Copy !req
74. Who you doing?
- Kara Walker.
Copy !req
75. She's an installation artist.
Copy !req
76. She uses silhouettes,
drawings, collages,
Copy !req
77. all to make a statement
on power,
Copy !req
78. race, and gender relations.
Copy !req
79. And she's definitely not afraid
to make people uncomfortable.
Copy !req
80. - That's fire.
Okay, I see you, Kara Walker.
Copy !req
81. - Yes, and she's
a Cali girl, too.
Copy !req
82. She was my mom's
favorite artist.
Copy !req
83. - Was, as in past tense?
Copy !req
84. - My mom died three years ago.
Copy !req
85. Lupus.
Copy !req
86. - Damn, I'm sorry.
I didn't know that.
Copy !req
87. - I usually only talk about her
to people that knew her,
Copy !req
88. you know, that understand
how amazing she was.
Copy !req
89. But if we're gonna be friends,
it's part of who I am.
Copy !req
90. - That's real.
Copy !req
91. I appreciate you
sharing that with me,
Copy !req
92. and I'm glad we're friends.
Copy !req
93. - Me too.
Copy !req
94. - So
Copy !req
95. you still coming to my uncle's
fundraiser tomorrow, or what?
Copy !req
96. 'Cause I'm really trying to see
Copy !req
97. what you do
on those skates, a'ight?
Copy !req
98. - Oh, please, I glide.
- Okay.
Copy !req
99. - Okay, you know that roller
skating scene in "ATL"?
Copy !req
100. That's me.
Copy !req
101. - Oh, that's you?
- It's me.
Copy !req
102. - Okay, okay,
we gon' see New New Wilkes.
Copy !req
103. Don't make me have
to snatch that chain.
Copy !req
104. - Ay!
Copy !req
105. - When my mother used
to braid my hair,
Copy !req
106. we used to talk,
Copy !req
107. and I'd ask her
all the questions
Copy !req
108. I had about becoming
a woman and...
Copy !req
109. Girl, who are you texting?
Copy !req
110. - Oh, nobody.
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
111. Well, tell nobody that somebody
needs to be still
Copy !req
112. so they can get
their hair done.
Copy !req
113. - Why can't I just wear a hat
to Dad's thing tomorrow?
Copy !req
114. I mean,
it's at the skating rink,
Copy !req
115. not the DNC.
Copy !req
116. - Ashley, they're gonna be
a lot of eyes
Copy !req
117. and a lot of press.
Copy !req
118. This is one
of the biggest donor events
Copy !req
119. of your dad's campaign,
which means we need—
Copy !req
120. - We need to be perfect?
Copy !req
121. - Look, I know this campaign
hasn't been easy.
Copy !req
122. Trust me, I'm feeling it, too.
We all are.
Copy !req
123. - So why do you do it?
Copy !req
124. - 'Cause I love your father.
Copy !req
125. And he spent years going
to all my gallery openings
Copy !req
126. and art shows,
Copy !req
127. and now it's his turn
to be in the spotlight,
Copy !req
128. and we need
to all be there for him, hmm?
Copy !req
129. Okay.
Copy !req
130. - Bro, are you sure?
Like, 1,000% sure?
Copy !req
131. - On God, bro.
I'm telling you.
Copy !req
132. Rashad knows
you're in Bel-Air.
Copy !req
133. - Bro, how did he find out?
Copy !req
134. Only you and my mom know
I came out here.
Copy !req
135. Did you say anything
to anybody?
Copy !req
136. - Man, hell no.
Copy !req
137. I heard he's tapped in
out there in LA,
Copy !req
138. got some people heavy in the
streets looking for you, bro.
Copy !req
139. He wants us both
in the ground.
Copy !req
140. - When is this shit gonna end?
Copy !req
141. - I don't know,
Copy !req
142. but we need to dead this shit
before it's too late.
Copy !req
143. - Wha gwan, Will?
You're up early.
Copy !req
144. - Yo, G, do you know
where Uncle Phil is?
Copy !req
145. - He ain't about.
Copy !req
146. He's at a meeting.
Copy !req
147. You need something?
Copy !req
148. - Um...
Copy !req
149. Do you know why I'm here
from Philly?
Copy !req
150. - Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
151. Little scrap
on the ball court got nasty.
Copy !req
152. Now some badman from Philly
want to deal with you.
Copy !req
153. Rashad Denton, right?
Copy !req
154. - Yeah.
Copy !req
155. Yo, Rashad, man,
Copy !req
156. he's not trying
to squash this beef.
Copy !req
157. He sent a shooter for Tray,
Copy !req
158. and now apparently he knows
I'm in Bel-Air.
Copy !req
159. So we've got
to figure something out.
Copy !req
160. 'Cause I'm not trying—
- Don't trouble yourself, Will.
Copy !req
161. I'll handle the situation.
Copy !req
162. - But how are you gonna ha—
- I said I'll handle it.
Copy !req
163. No need to worry.
Copy !req
164. No need
to trouble your aunt and uncle.
Copy !req
165. I'll take it from here.
Copy !req
166. - Look, I know you're probably
considering a lot
Copy !req
167. of options right now.
Copy !req
168. I feel like
I should tell you,
Copy !req
169. we're one
of the top influencer houses
Copy !req
170. on the planet,
Copy !req
171. and we're growing
exponentially by the day.
Copy !req
172. So why don't you tell me
Copy !req
173. why you think you'd be
a good fit for this house?
Copy !req
174. - So I've got
50,000 Instagram followers
Copy !req
175. and 275,000 TikTok followers,
Copy !req
176. and Black women
are my core audience.
Copy !req
177. My cooking tutorials
have high engagement levels,
Copy !req
178. and I'm averaging about
eight percent monthly growth
Copy !req
179. in followers.
Copy !req
180. I would be honored
to live in the Crib Crystal.
Copy !req
181. No, I don't think
my content only appeals
Copy !req
182. to a Black audience.
Copy !req
183. I can't say that
I've given much thought
Copy !req
184. to teaming up
with a white co-host.
Copy !req
185. African American cuisine
is American cuisine.
Copy !req
186. Thank you!
Copy !req
187. I look forward to hearing
from you real soon.
Copy !req
188. Bye.
Copy !req
189. - Care to help?
Copy !req
190. - No, I just came to see
if it was true
Copy !req
191. that you were ready
to start painting again.
Copy !req
192. - I am so ready, Joan.
Copy !req
193. - Well, you've had
your hands full
Copy !req
194. with Phil and the campaign.
Copy !req
195. - Yeah, I do, but I mean,
Copy !req
196. why should his goals
crowd out mine?
Copy !req
197. You know, it was never
my decision to stop painting.
Copy !req
198. I just got swept away with Phil
and the kids' schedules,
Copy !req
199. but now I'm reclaiming my time.
Copy !req
200. - Yes, ma'am.
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
201. - I have wanted you to get back
in your studio for years.
Copy !req
202. - Yeah, just gotta
get my space back.
Copy !req
203. - Oh.
Copy !req
204. Oh, it is still
so amazing to me
Copy !req
205. that all of y'all hit the scene
at the same time.
Copy !req
206. Mickalene Thomas,
Amy Sherald,
Copy !req
207. Vivian Smith.
Copy !req
208. - Used to drive me crazy
Copy !req
209. when people
would group me with them.
Copy !req
210. Now, I'd do anything just
to be mentioned
Copy !req
211. in the same breath.
Copy !req
212. - You are every bit
as talented.
Copy !req
213. - Talent is not enough.
You need opportunities, luck.
Copy !req
214. - Well, this is all
perfect timing,
Copy !req
215. because Reid Broderick
is back in Los Angeles,
Copy !req
216. and he is setting up an annex
for his gallery.
Copy !req
217. Now, his main spot
in Manhattan—
Copy !req
218. honey, they are having
a real moment.
Copy !req
219. - I heard he's been doing well.
Copy !req
220. - He's making a name
for himself
Copy !req
221. by rediscovering artists.
Copy !req
222. I mean, this could be
the perfect way for you
Copy !req
223. to reenter the art world.
Copy !req
224. So should I set up a meeting?
Copy !req
225. - Not bad, cuz-o.
Copy !req
226. Did you take lessons
or something?
Copy !req
227. - Yeah, yeah,
Copy !req
228. I used to take lessons
Copy !req
229. from this old woman at church,
Copy !req
230. but I didn't have a piano
of my own,
Copy !req
231. so my mom—she used to, uh—
Copy !req
232. she used to draw the piano keys
on cardboard,
Copy !req
233. and I'd practice that way.
Copy !req
234. - That is crazy.
Copy !req
235. I served ten years
on them keys.
Copy !req
236. You sound way better than me.
Copy !req
237. - What's wrong?
Copy !req
238. Huh?
Copy !req
239. What's got you in a funk?
Copy !req
240. - So I've been interviewing
for a spot
Copy !req
241. at these
content creator houses,
Copy !req
242. and it's like no one sees
the potential in what I do.
Copy !req
243. - Man, squash that, a'ight?
Squash it.
Copy !req
244. Just keep searching
for the people
Copy !req
245. who are gonna champion you
like you deserve.
Copy !req
246. - It's not that easy, Will.
Copy !req
247. I mean, my parents were like,
"You need to move out,
Copy !req
248. take care of yourself,
grow up ASAP."
Copy !req
249. - You know
they're bluffing, right?
Copy !req
250. - Maybe.
Copy !req
251. And I tried to look
for an apartment.
Copy !req
252. I can't even afford
to live how I want.
Copy !req
253. - Oh, okay, so this is like
the first time
Copy !req
254. that you don't have enough
money to buy what you need?
Copy !req
255. - Yes, it's like I'm poor.
Copy !req
256. I don't think
I'm cut out for it.
Copy !req
257. - Yeah, I know the feeling.
Copy !req
258. Yep, felt the same way
when I was born.
Copy !req
259. - Shut up, Will.
Copy !req
260. Anyway,
Copy !req
261. so you ready to hit the streets
and help Dad with his campaign?
Copy !req
262. - Yep, just gonna follow
Carlton's lead.
Copy !req
263. - At least he's getting
something out of it.
Copy !req
264. - Wait, what do you mean?
Copy !req
265. - He made a deal.
Copy !req
266. As long as he gets enough
voters and plays nice with you,
Copy !req
267. Dad's gonna take him
to the Grand Prix.
Copy !req
268. - Oh, so that's why
he's been so smiley.
Copy !req
269. - Yeah.
Copy !req
270. Look, Carlton knows
how to work the system.
Copy !req
271. You better figure it out, Will.
Copy !req
272. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I got you, Aunt Viv.
Copy !req
273. - Oh, thanks, Will.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
274. It's so beautiful out here,
Aunt Viv.
Copy !req
275. I really wish Tray
could come see it.
Copy !req
276. - Oh, well he's more
than welcome to come out
Copy !req
277. for a visit one day.
Copy !req
278. We can fly him out here
and take care of everything.
Copy !req
279. - Could he come tomorrow?
Copy !req
280. - Is everything okay
back in Philly?
Copy !req
281. - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
282. It's just, you know,
with everything that happened.
Copy !req
283. You know, I came out here,
Copy !req
284. and he got stuck,
and it's just not fair.
Copy !req
285. - I know.
Copy !req
286. It's a shame how our fortunes
diverge from those we love.
Copy !req
287. - Well, what if you
and I made a deal?
Copy !req
288. - Oh.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Copy !req
289. Since you want me and Carlton
to get along,
Copy !req
290. how about, if we work
together today with no beef,
Copy !req
291. maybe Tray could come out here
by the end of the week?
Copy !req
292. - Well, that sounds fair.
Deal.
Copy !req
293. - Thank you, Aunt Viv.
- Oh, okay.
Copy !req
294. - Thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you.
Copy !req
295. All right.
Copy !req
296. - Hey, hey.
Copy !req
297. - Oh, my fault.
Copy !req
298. - Okay, today's outreach effort
is critical.
Copy !req
299. And remember, when you're not
talking to voters,
Copy !req
300. you're still
sending them a message.
Copy !req
301. - This will probably be
the only time these voters get
Copy !req
302. to see us in the flesh
Copy !req
303. and get the chance
to interact with us,
Copy !req
304. so be respectful,
be thoughtful.
Copy !req
305. Just be yourself.
Copy !req
306. - Just better versions?
Copy !req
307. - All right,
let's talk assignments.
Copy !req
308. Carlton, Will,
you'll hit the streets
Copy !req
309. and knock on doors
to register voters.
Copy !req
310. - Question.
Copy !req
311. Does it matter that
I've never done this before?
Copy !req
312. - Hey, don't worry.
I'll show you the ropes.
Copy !req
313. - Thank you, Carlton.
- Yes, thank you, Carlton.
Copy !req
314. - Hilary, Ashley, you two will
go to local business owners
Copy !req
315. and ask if they'll put
our campaign signs
Copy !req
316. or stickers up
in their windows.
Copy !req
317. - And who could say no
to me and Ash?
Copy !req
318. And your father and I will be
meeting with community leaders
Copy !req
319. in Rev. Lamont's office.
Copy !req
320. If we're lucky,
nobody will show up.
Copy !req
321. - Hey, yo, G, yo,
everybody's got an assignment.
Copy !req
322. What are you gonna be doing?
- I'll be around.
Copy !req
323. - All right,
thank you, one and all.
Copy !req
324. We roll at noon.
Copy !req
325. - All right.
Copy !req
326. - Viv,
can I have a word, please?
Copy !req
327. - Oh, come on, Phil.
I was kidding.
Copy !req
328. - I get that, honey,
but not everyone else does.
Copy !req
329. There's been some polling data.
- Oh, okay.
Copy !req
330. I already changed my hair
thanks to polling data.
Copy !req
331. What else do you
want me to give?
Copy !req
332. - But it's mostly
been positive.
Copy !req
333. Yeah, voters see you
as intellectual,
Copy !req
334. accomplished, and creative.
Copy !req
335. - Mm-hmm, but?
Copy !req
336. - But you can also come across
as sarcastic,
Copy !req
337. dismissive, and arrogant,
not my words.
Copy !req
338. - Okay, maybe you should go
without me today.
Copy !req
339. - Whoa, whoa, no, no, baby.
I want you next to me.
Copy !req
340. I need you next to me.
Copy !req
341. Look, I know
that you're a woman
Copy !req
342. who speaks her mind freely,
Copy !req
343. and that's what
I love about you.
Copy !req
344. - Uh-huh?
Copy !req
345. - But for now,
Copy !req
346. maybe you don't have
to say everything
Copy !req
347. you're thinking out loud.
Copy !req
348. Hey, remember what you said
Copy !req
349. when I first went with you
to the LA art show?
Copy !req
350. I started explaining
American football
Copy !req
351. to David Hockney,
remember that?
Copy !req
352. - I remember
begging you to stop.
Copy !req
353. - You said this is your world
and to not pull focus.
Copy !req
354. - I said that?
Yeah, I said that.
Copy !req
355. - Yes, you said that.
And what did I do?
Copy !req
356. I took a back seat
and let you shine.
Copy !req
357. - Okay, I guess I can hold
my tongue until the election,
Copy !req
358. but once every vote is counted,
I make no promises.
Copy !req
359. - Yeah, I know, Viv.
And that's why I love you.
Copy !req
360. - Hi, good afternoon.
Copy !req
361. We're going door to door
for Phillip Banks,
Copy !req
362. your next
LA district attorney.
Copy !req
363. - Hey, good afternoon.
Copy !req
364. We're here
for Phillip Banks, your—
Copy !req
365. Hey, good afternoon.
Copy !req
366. We are going door to door
for Phillip Banks,
Copy !req
367. your next LA District—
Copy !req
368. Your next
LA District Attorney.
Copy !req
369. - Why should I vote for a nigga
with that much money?
Copy !req
370. - Look, it's actually
a good thing
Copy !req
371. that Phillip Banks
is rich, right?
Copy !req
372. Because that means
that he can't be bought off
Copy !req
373. by special interest groups.
Copy !req
374. - Or special interest
done already bought him,
Copy !req
375. and they already using him
as they puppet.
Copy !req
376. - That's just ridiculous
conspiracy thinking.
Copy !req
377. Look, let's get real,
all right?
Copy !req
378. You need to vote for someone,
Copy !req
379. and Phillip Banks
is the best option.
Copy !req
380. - I ain't gotta vote
Copy !req
381. for none of them
slave overseers in suits.
Copy !req
382. Gwan.
Copy !req
383. - Oh, my God.
Copy !req
384. We'll never get
to 50 voters this way.
Copy !req
385. These people don't wanna vote,
Copy !req
386. and then they're gonna bitch
about the government.
Copy !req
387. - Or these people are
telling you
Copy !req
388. how much they
don't trust the system,
Copy !req
389. and you just don't want
to hear it.
Copy !req
390. - Yeah, because apathy
isn't a solution.
Copy !req
391. - All right, check it.
Copy !req
392. I'ma give you two options.
Copy !req
393. You want me to kick you
in the face,
Copy !req
394. or you want me
to kick you in the nuts?
Copy !req
395. - What?
Neither.
Copy !req
396. - Exactly.
Being asked to choose
Copy !req
397. between two shitty options
is bullshit.
Copy !req
398. - Okay, well,
if you know so much about this,
Copy !req
399. why don't you tell me how
to get through
Copy !req
400. to these people?
Copy !req
401. - Carlton, first, stop calling
them "these people," a'ight?
Copy !req
402. And I don't think you can,
Copy !req
403. especially 'cause
all you wanna do is go
Copy !req
404. to some fancy-ass car race.
Copy !req
405. - Oh, and you're just
being good to me
Copy !req
406. out of the kindness
of your own heart?
Copy !req
407. We both need this
to work, all right?
Copy !req
408. And clearly, I don't have
the Midas touch, so—
Copy !req
409. - So?
So you need my help.
Copy !req
410. - Yeah, sure, whatever.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
411. - Hilary, are you campaigning,
Copy !req
412. or just getting
your 10,000 steps in?
Copy !req
413. - Girl, back off.
Copy !req
414. I'm trying
to find a decent place to live.
Copy !req
415. - Now I know that ain't Ashley
swinging through.
Copy !req
416. - Hey, Jazz.
Copy !req
417. Is it cool if I put
my dad's poster in the window?
Copy !req
418. - Yeah, do your thing.
Copy !req
419. - Hey, I've seen you
around before,
Copy !req
420. but I don't think
we've officially met.
Copy !req
421. I'm Jazz.
Copy !req
422. - Yeah, I've seen you
around the house with Will.
Copy !req
423. I'm Hilary.
- Hilary, lovely name.
Copy !req
424. Now I don't have to call you
Copy !req
425. the tall honey
in the pool house no more.
Copy !req
426. - And I don't have
to call you the Uber driver
Copy !req
427. who looks like Tupac.
Copy !req
428. I didn't know you also worked
at a record store.
Copy !req
429. - Oh, actually,
I own the place.
Copy !req
430. - Okay, multiple hustles.
I respect that.
Copy !req
431. - You know, I'm just not afraid
of hard work.
Copy !req
432. And besides, nobody's making
bank selling vinyl anyway.
Copy !req
433. - So why do you do it?
Copy !req
434. - I just love the way
music sounds
Copy !req
435. when it's coming off
of an actual groove in wax.
Copy !req
436. - Okay, I feel that.
Copy !req
437. - I'm gonna go
to the next store.
Copy !req
438. - Okay, be careful.
Copy !req
439. So what's your
social media presence like?
Copy !req
440. - Nonexistent.
- Really?
Copy !req
441. I can fix that.
What's your Instagram?
Copy !req
442. - I ain't got an Instagram.
Copy !req
443. - Shut up.
Wait, are you being serious?
Copy !req
444. - Yeah.
- Give me your phone.
Copy !req
445. - Well, I hope I can count
on your vote.
Copy !req
446. - You've given us a lot
to think about.
Copy !req
447. - It's been bugging me
since I walked in.
Copy !req
448. Where do I know you from?
Are you an actress or a singer?
Copy !req
449. - Oh, no, no, not at all.
Copy !req
450. - She used to be a painter.
Copy !req
451. - Yes, yes.
Copy !req
452. You painted that
beautiful mural on the side
Copy !req
453. of Jerome Brady Elementary.
Copy !req
454. I was a teacher there.
Copy !req
455. - Oh, yes.
Yeah, I painted that.
Copy !req
456. - It was a shame that school
had to close.
Copy !req
457. - Yeah, mural's gone, too.
Copy !req
458. - Well, thanks again
for coming.
Copy !req
459. - Yes, anytime.
Copy !req
460. - Take care.
- All right.
Copy !req
461. - Bless.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
462. - I can't believe everyone
we're meeting with
Copy !req
463. is so damn noncommittal.
Copy !req
464. - Why did you say
I used to be a painter?
Copy !req
465. - Hm?
Copy !req
466. Oh, I just meant
you're not currently painting
Copy !req
467. at a professional level.
Copy !req
468. You're an ex-artist.
Copy !req
469. - Artists don't cease
from being an artist,
Copy !req
470. even if it's been years
from their last work.
Copy !req
471. - You're right, you're right,
and I apologize.
Copy !req
472. - I mean, you aren't
telling these voters anything
Copy !req
473. they haven't heard before.
Copy !req
474. - Keep going.
Copy !req
475. - You sure?
Because earlier you—
Copy !req
476. - No, forget about what I said.
I need your help.
Copy !req
477. I'm all ears.
Copy !req
478. - Okay.
Well, you're playing it safe.
Copy !req
479. I mean, people know when
they're being politicianed.
Copy !req
480. Like that one sister
who mentioned her nephew
Copy !req
481. got convicted
Copy !req
482. by the testimony
of a crooked cop.
Copy !req
483. - Well, if I'm DA,
Copy !req
484. I intend to stop
using dirty cops as witnesses.
Copy !req
485. - Then say that.
Copy !req
486. - The police union'd
be all over my Black ass.
Copy !req
487. - If you don't start
saying things that address
Copy !req
488. what Black voters really need,
you ain't gonna have to worry
Copy !req
489. about what the police union
think about your Black ass.
Copy !req
490. Listen, I know what
you stand for, but they don't.
Copy !req
491. Speak from your heart,
Copy !req
492. because,
at the end of all of this,
Copy !req
493. you still gotta be you,
or else what's the point?
Copy !req
494. - Look who made it.
- Told y'all I would.
Copy !req
495. - Hey.
Copy !req
496. - Ooh, I'm jumping in.
Copy !req
497. - A'ight, but don't be
buying up a billion coins
Copy !req
498. for DNA upgrades.
Copy !req
499. Play fair.
- That ain't how I win.
Copy !req
500. You're mad 'cause I got skills.
- Yeah right.
Copy !req
501. - Where's Lucia?
Copy !req
502. I thought
she was coming over today.
Copy !req
503. - Supposed to.
She's always late.
Copy !req
504. - And finally,
the best part of the store,
Copy !req
505. my favorite section,
Copy !req
506. probably y'all
favorite section,
Copy !req
507. the Afrobeat section.
Copy !req
508. We got Fuse ODG.
Copy !req
509. We got Aya Nakamura.
Copy !req
510. We got that man,
Burna Boy, you know?
Copy !req
511. Ey, and the list goes on,
and on, and on.
Copy !req
512. - All right, Hilarystas,
you heard it here first.
Copy !req
513. Check out Charlie's Vinyl,
period.
Copy !req
514. I love how you
catalog the music
Copy !req
515. in the different genres.
Copy !req
516. - Thanks.
Copy !req
517. - You know,
you're like that one guy
Copy !req
518. off that old movie
about the record store.
Copy !req
519. - What movie you talking about?
Copy !req
520. - You know,
the one with John Cusack
Copy !req
521. and Jack Black?
Copy !req
522. - Are there Black people
in this movie?
Copy !req
523. - Lisa Bonet.
- "High Fidelity."
Copy !req
524. - Yes, that's the one.
- There it is.
Copy !req
525. - Anyway, your first post
Copy !req
526. and your first follower.
Copy !req
527. - Oh, okay, I see you.
Copy !req
528. - All right, first one's free.
Copy !req
529. - Yo, I'm not gonna lie.
Copy !req
530. You pretty good
at this social media stuff.
Copy !req
531. - Not good enough, apparently.
Copy !req
532. - What you mean?
Copy !req
533. - I'm trying to move out
of my parents' house
Copy !req
534. and make my own way,
Copy !req
535. but it just seems like
the real world has other plans.
Copy !req
536. - Got it.
Copy !req
537. Kind of scary letting
go of that safety net, huh?
Copy !req
538. - Yeah, it is.
Copy !req
539. - My uncle Charlie
opened up this shop,
Copy !req
540. put everything he had into it.
Copy !req
541. I'm just trying
to keep the legacy alive.
Copy !req
542. Good days, bad days.
Copy !req
543. But hey, I'm doing what I love,
and I'm still standing,
Copy !req
544. and you'll find your way, too.
Copy !req
545. - I should get back
to the campaign trail.
Copy !req
546. - Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
547. - Yeah, and maybe
find your sister.
Copy !req
548. - That too. I'll see you.
Copy !req
549. - All right.
- Bye.
Copy !req
550. - There's no need to increase
our security measures
Copy !req
551. for the family,
Copy !req
552. but do reach out to your
associates in Philadelphia.
Copy !req
553. Rashad Denton is making noise.
Copy !req
554. We gave him ten grand
to shut it down.
Copy !req
555. - Unfortunately,
Mr. Denton has discovered
Copy !req
556. how wealthy our employer is,
wants more.
Copy !req
557. - How much more?
Copy !req
558. - I didn't bother to ask
Copy !req
559. because we have
no intention to pay him.
Copy !req
560. - All right, thanks again.
Yeah.
Copy !req
561. - No problem.
- Have a great rest of the day.
Copy !req
562. - Okay.
Copy !req
563. - Another one.
Your boy is on fire.
Copy !req
564. - You're slandering
Dad's opponents
Copy !req
565. and equating
Blue Lives Matter with racism.
Copy !req
566. - And?
Copy !req
567. - I don't always agree
with them,
Copy !req
568. but you can't just call
all conservatives racist.
Copy !req
569. - I can, and it's working.
So why are you bitching?
Copy !req
570. - Because you trample
every rule that you don't like,
Copy !req
571. but somehow
you end up the winner.
Copy !req
572. And you're completely
ignorant of everything
Copy !req
573. outside your beloved hood.
Copy !req
574. - Yo, I'm not fucking ignorant,
and trust me, the next time—
Copy !req
575. - Oh, you're gonna beat my ass
Copy !req
576. 'cause that's how they do it
in Philly?
Copy !req
577. Yo, give it
a goddamn rest already.
Copy !req
578. - Every hood is the same,
a'ight?
Copy !req
579. And that's the reason
why I can walk around here
Copy !req
580. and get all these signatures,
Copy !req
581. and you walking around here
with nothing.
Copy !req
582. - You know,
I'll give you something, Will.
Copy !req
583. You're a much better bullshit
artist than I ever will be.
Copy !req
584. Really, and you can talk
your talk and do your thing.
Copy !req
585. You might have everyone else
fooled, but not me.
Copy !req
586. Did you really come out here
for a better education, Will?
Copy !req
587. Hmm?
Copy !req
588. Your friend Tray getting shot.
Copy !req
589. Was that just
some random coincidence,
Copy !req
590. or is there more to the story?
Copy !req
591. Yeah, that's what I thought.
Copy !req
592. See, I knew you were full
of shit from the moment
Copy !req
593. you walked through our door.
Copy !req
594. - Man, fuck you.
I'm out.
Copy !req
595. - Ashley, are you ready to go?
Copy !req
596. - You must be proud
of yourself for finding me.
Copy !req
597. - Hilary gave me a call
after you gave her the slip.
Copy !req
598. Very clever.
Copy !req
599. And do you really imagine
your dad would bother
Copy !req
600. keeping me on the payroll
Copy !req
601. if I allowed a 12-year-old
to outsmart me?
Copy !req
602. - Are you gonna tell my parents
about this?
Copy !req
603. - Romario Viotti and his lot
pose no security risks.
Copy !req
604. So I suppose we could keep it
between us
Copy !req
605. on the condition
you stop sneaking around, Ash.
Copy !req
606. There's no need for it.
Copy !req
607. - Mom and Dad would never
let me go to South LA
Copy !req
608. to see my friends
I met gaming online.
Copy !req
609. - Look, to be honest with you,
I think they'd be happy
Copy !req
610. that you're getting
out of the Bel-Air bubble.
Copy !req
611. Even if it's because
you have a crush
Copy !req
612. on someone you met
on the internet,
Copy !req
613. but hey, just be mindful, Ash.
Copy !req
614. There are unsavories out there
that would love nothing more
Copy !req
615. than to use you to extort money
Copy !req
616. from your mum and dad.
Copy !req
617. In you get.
Copy !req
618. What's up, Philly?
Copy !req
619. I see you're finally done
knocking on doors.
Copy !req
620. - Nah, man.
Copy !req
621. Needed to take a break
before I killed Carlton's ass.
Copy !req
622. - Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hey, watch it.
Copy !req
623. - Hey, yo, Jazz.
I got an emergency.
Copy !req
624. - Oh, shit, Buddy.
Copy !req
625. - "Oh, shit."
Who is this nigga?
Copy !req
626. - This my boy, Will.
- Cool, cool, cool.
Copy !req
627. Look, I'm going to the studio
tomorrow with Pharrel.
Copy !req
628. I need some new sounds.
Copy !req
629. You got something that sound
like the hungry caterpillar
Copy !req
630. ate 20 tabs of acid with a side
of shrimp and grits?
Copy !req
631. You got something like that?
Copy !req
632. - Got it, oh,
Copy !req
633. I got exactly what you need
right now.
Copy !req
634. - That's my boy right there.
- Ha-ha, boom!
Copy !req
635. Afreka, "Demon Fuzz."
Copy !req
636. - My fucking guy.
Copy !req
637. - Oh, do you mind
if I get a pic for the 'gram?
Copy !req
638. - For the 'gram?
Copy !req
639. When the fuck
did you get an Instagram?
Copy !req
640. - Yeah, when fuck
you get an Instagram?
Copy !req
641. - Your cousin Hilary
came by earlier.
Copy !req
642. She got me trying
something new.
Copy !req
643. - Oh, okay.
Trying something new.
Copy !req
644. - All right, then.
Come on.
Copy !req
645. - Nigga, if you don't get
in the picture...
Copy !req
646. - Ooh, ooh.
Copy !req
647. - What's good?
We smiling or we mobbin'?
Copy !req
648. - We mobbin'.
- We mobbin', all right.
Copy !req
649. - Oh, there we go.
Copy !req
650. - Hey, appreciate you, Jazz.
Look, hey, put it on my tab.
Copy !req
651. - Oh, I got you.
- All right, dude.
Copy !req
652. - All right, man.
Copy !req
653. Sheesh, that was crazy.
Copy !req
654. - Who, Buddy?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
655. - That nigga here
at least once a week.
Copy !req
656. - Man, that's dope.
Copy !req
657. - So... you and Carlton.
Copy !req
658. Who got you teamed up with your
Sunken Place cousin anyway?
Copy !req
659. - Well, I made a deal
with my aunt that if me
Copy !req
660. and Carlton got along
while we were canvassing,
Copy !req
661. she'd let Tray fly out here.
Copy !req
662. - Oh, okay,
so if you bail on Carlton,
Copy !req
663. then your boy Tray shit
out of luck?
Copy !req
664. I hope that argument
y'all had was worth it.
Copy !req
665. - Yo, you registered
any more voters?
Copy !req
666. - Yeah, but I think
this guy gave me a fake name.
Copy !req
667. Does Nino Brown sound legit?
Copy !req
668. - Yeah, remind me
to show you "New Jack City."
Copy !req
669. All right, man,
give me some more forms,
Copy !req
670. and we'll work opposite sides
of the street.
Copy !req
671. We got a dozen more to do,
then we both get what we want.
Copy !req
672. Flying Tray out here
is my only priority.
Copy !req
673. - You're a good friend to him.
Copy !req
674. Look, what I said earlier is—
Copy !req
675. - Forget it, all right?
Copy !req
676. Our problem is, we keep talking
Copy !req
677. like we're gonna change each
other's minds, and we're not.
Copy !req
678. So we just gotta say less.
Copy !req
679. - I'll start on the other side
of the street.
Copy !req
680. - All right, all right.
Thank you. See you tonight.
Copy !req
681. - Yeah.
- Okay.
Copy !req
682. - I got you.
Copy !req
683. - Hold on.
Get that curb.
Copy !req
684. - Here?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
685. - Wait, you did what?
Copy !req
686. - I invited everyone I could
to the skating rink tonight.
Copy !req
687. - It's supposed
to be a private fundraiser.
Copy !req
688. - Well, make it public,
because a lot more people
Copy !req
689. are gonna register there.
Copy !req
690. And I told them that Uncle Phil
Copy !req
691. is gonna cover food
and admission.
Copy !req
692. - Look, the campaign's
been working
Copy !req
693. on this event for weeks, Will.
Copy !req
694. Plus, my dad really
needs this to work out
Copy !req
695. 'cause supposedly
he hasn't been connecting
Copy !req
696. with the Black community.
Copy !req
697. - Okay, well,
this is the perfect opportunity
Copy !req
698. to fix that, right?
Copy !req
699. - Only if he doesn't
kill you first.
Copy !req
700. - Well, he won't
if you back me up.
Copy !req
701. Come on,
this is a great opportunity
Copy !req
702. to open it up to the public.
Copy !req
703. Look, the more people
that show up,
Copy !req
704. the more registration we get.
Copy !req
705. It's better for us
and the campaign, isn't it?
Copy !req
706. - Look, I'm not the one
you have to convince.
Copy !req
707. - I don't see why
this is such a big deal.
Copy !req
708. - I'll have to return the money
to all the donors
Copy !req
709. who paid for exclusive access.
Copy !req
710. Plus, there's no way to vet
the people you invited,
Copy !req
711. which means
there's no predicting
Copy !req
712. what questions
they'll ask me during the Q&A.
Copy !req
713. Will, you're throwing me
into the lion's den.
Copy !req
714. - Phil, maybe
that's where you need to be,
Copy !req
715. mixing up with people
who can't afford $500 tickets.
Copy !req
716. - Yeah, Dad.
Copy !req
717. Look, you're playing it
a little safe, right?
Copy !req
718. Maybe this will spark
voter turnout.
Copy !req
719. - Look, Uncle Phil,
Copy !req
720. we can invite
all of our friends, right?
Copy !req
721. We'll make it fun.
Copy !req
722. We could turn this jawn out
for you.
Copy !req
723. - My campaign staff isn't
gonna love this.
Copy !req
724. But I'm down for it.
Copy !req
725. Okay, let's go meet the people.
Copy !req
726. - Lisa!
Copy !req
727. - I'm so happy you're here!
Copy !req
728. Wait, let me get a look at you.
Gorgeous, simply gorgeous.
Copy !req
729. - Thank you, Auntie Viv.
Copy !req
730. - Look, I realized
that the breakup
Copy !req
731. between you and Carlton
has been awkward for a while,
Copy !req
732. but we should have one of our
girls' nights again, you know?
Copy !req
733. Me, you, Ashley, Hilary?
Copy !req
734. - I'd love that.
Copy !req
735. - And we also need to talk
about the plans
Copy !req
736. for this year's
Lupus fundraiser.
Copy !req
737. I mean, the sorors came through
Copy !req
738. with some amazing donations
and sponsors.
Copy !req
739. - Mama loved her sisters.
Copy !req
740. - And we loved her, too.
Copy !req
741. Oh, girl, come here, oh.
Copy !req
742. - Being a kid's tough, right?
Copy !req
743. You wait till you become
an adult.
Copy !req
744. That's a whole another story
for a whole another day.
Copy !req
745. In the meantime,
Copy !req
746. I took the liberty
of inviting your new friends.
Copy !req
747. - Hey, Ashley.
- Hey, guys.
Copy !req
748. - Lucia.
- Hi, Ashley.
Copy !req
749. This is awesome.
Copy !req
750. - Phil's nephew.
Will, right?
Copy !req
751. - Yeah, you're Lisa's dad.
Copy !req
752. She didn't tell me
you were a cop.
Copy !req
753. - Los Angeles Chief of Police.
Copy !req
754. You all right, son?
- Yes.
Copy !req
755. Yeah, it's just,
Copy !req
756. when I met you
at my aunt and uncle's party,
Copy !req
757. I didn't realize
you were a cop.
Copy !req
758. Just kinda throws me.
Copy !req
759. - Don't worry, kid.
You're not in trouble.
Copy !req
760. - I don't understand why
it matters if my dad's a cop.
Copy !req
761. - He's the chief of police.
Copy !req
762. And if it didn't matter,
why don't you tell me?
Copy !req
763. - I wasn't hiding anything.
Copy !req
764. It's not like you told me
what your dad did for a living.
Copy !req
765. - Oh, sorry,
I can't answer that question
Copy !req
766. 'cause I haven't seen
the sorry-ass nigga
Copy !req
767. since he walked out.
Copy !req
768. - I'm sorry.
I didn't know.
Copy !req
769. - It's fine.
Copy !req
770. My dad's not worth
talking about.
Copy !req
771. - Will.
- It's fine, a'ight?
Copy !req
772. Have fun.
- Wait, Will.
Copy !req
773. - Ladies and gentlemen,
Copy !req
774. thank you
for all coming out today
Copy !req
775. and showcasing your skills
on the rink.
Copy !req
776. And now for the person
we're all here to see,
Copy !req
777. LA's next district attorney,
my dad, Phillip Banks.
Copy !req
778. - Big Phil, Big Phil, Big Phil!
Copy !req
779. - Thank you, son.
Copy !req
780. Hope this one goes better
than my Big Boy interview.
Copy !req
781. Look, I'm not here to bore you
all with speeches and promises.
Copy !req
782. No, today...
Today, I wanna hear from you,
Copy !req
783. so please speak freely
and ask your questions.
Copy !req
784. - I wanna know if you plan
to keep using
Copy !req
785. the gang enhancement laws
to lock up our boys for longer,
Copy !req
786. often for non-violent
first offenses.
Copy !req
787. Yeah.
Copy !req
788. - Good question.
Copy !req
789. I hear you, ma'am,
and I do share your concern.
Copy !req
790. The gang enhancement laws
have been used far too often.
Copy !req
791. And if elected,
I will prohibit the prosecutors
Copy !req
792. from pursuing
sentencing enhancements
Copy !req
793. for what would be non-violent
first-time offenses.
Copy !req
794. - All right!
Copy !req
795. - What do you plan to do
about the crooked LAPD?
Copy !req
796. - Oh, defund, defund!
Copy !req
797. - Defund!
- Defunding!
Copy !req
798. - I think
Copy !req
799. defunding the police
is critical.
Copy !req
800. - Yeah!
- Whoo!
Copy !req
801. - Our justice system is
failing us,
Copy !req
802. and a wholesale change needs
Copy !req
803. to be made from policing
to prosecution.
Copy !req
804. - Yes!
- Yeah!
Copy !req
805. - And I'm prepared to fight
for a new approach,
Copy !req
806. even if that makes me unpopular
with the mayor's office
Copy !req
807. or the LAPD.
Copy !req
808. Because the DA
shouldn't be working for them.
Copy !req
809. Should be working for you.
Copy !req
810. Thank you.
Copy !req
811. Next question.
Copy !req
812. - Yo!
Nah, but that was a good time.
Copy !req
813. - That was really fun.
We have to do that again.
Copy !req
814. - Yes.
- I really want to.
Copy !req
815. - Now, that was
a fun campaign event.
Copy !req
816. - Hell, yeah.
I could have gone all night.
Copy !req
817. - You might just be
going all night.
Copy !req
818. - Hm, is that a promise?
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
819. - Ew, what the hell?
Copy !req
820. - Oh, come on now!
Come on now!
Copy !req
821. - Why would you do that
in front of us?
Copy !req
822. - I'm so glad I don't share
a wall with y'all.
Copy !req
823. - Whoa, whoa, whoa,
you do realize
Copy !req
824. that this kind of talk brought
you into this world, right?
Copy !req
825. - Ew, no one wanted
to know that at all.
Copy !req
826. - Before you retire, Romeo,
Copy !req
827. I need to have a quick chat
with you.
Copy !req
828. - You are such a buzzkill.
- Mm.
Copy !req
829. - Hold that thought.
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
830. - All right, all right.
My office.
Copy !req
831. - So you're gonna admit
I was right,
Copy !req
832. or do I gotta say
I told you so?
Copy !req
833. - Look, I backed your idea
Copy !req
834. in front of my parents,
didn't I?
Copy !req
835. - Only because Uncle Phil
was gonna agree anyway.
Copy !req
836. - Point is,
I didn't fight you on it.
Copy !req
837. Look, we just
keep it like this.
Copy !req
838. Quit trying to trip
each other up.
Copy !req
839. - I can get with that.
Good night, C.
Copy !req
840. - Good night, Will.
Copy !req
841. - Thank you.
Copy !req
842. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
843. Tonight just got even better!
I'm moving out.
Copy !req
844. - Really?
- Yes.
Copy !req
845. So I got accepted
into an influencer house.
Copy !req
846. So I'm gonna be living
Copy !req
847. with other social media
content creators.
Copy !req
848. - Influencer house.
Copy !req
849. - Yes, it's a thing.
Copy !req
850. So Will's friend Jazz
has a record store,
Copy !req
851. and when they saw what I did
with his IG in one day,
Copy !req
852. they said I was in.
Copy !req
853. - Whoa, whoa, whoa,
what kind of strings
Copy !req
854. are attached
to that arrangement?
Copy !req
855. - None. It's free.
Copy !req
856. - Hilary, nothing is free.
Copy !req
857. - Would it kill you to just say
congratulations for once?
Copy !req
858. - You don't have to say
everything out loud, Viv.
Copy !req
859. Will, can I have
a word with you?
Copy !req
860. - Yeah.
Is everything okay, Aunt Viv?
Copy !req
861. - I just wanna say
I am so proud
Copy !req
862. with how you and Carlton
worked together today.
Copy !req
863. - Yeah?
Copy !req
864. - And we'll fly Tray
out to Bel-Air this Friday.
Copy !req
865. - Oh, oh, thank you,
thank you, thank you!
Copy !req
866. - You and Tray are gonna have
a great time.
Copy !req
867. I'll see to it.
Copy !req
868. - Oh, thank you,
thank you, thank you.
Copy !req
869. Oh!
Copy !req
870. - Yo, what's good?
Copy !req
871. - Yo, yo, boul!
Copy !req
872. You flying out to LA!
No kidding!
Copy !req
873. - Yo, that's crazy, bro.
Copy !req
874. Hey, I got
some great news, too.
Copy !req
875. - What's up?
Copy !req
876. - Rashad is dead.
Copy !req
877. - What?
Copy !req
878. - Rashad is dead, bro.
Copy !req
879. Fool got shot up
in a strip club.
Copy !req
880. - Oh, shit.
Copy !req
881. And who pulled the trigger?
Copy !req
882. - Who cares, bro?
Copy !req
883. Rashad in the grave
puts us in the clear.
Copy !req
884. We gotta celebrate that shit
when I fly out.
Copy !req
885. - Yeah, yeah, we're
definitely gonna celebrate.
