All language subtitles for Bel-Air - S02E10 (2022) WEB.eng

[Phil] Previously, on Bel-Air.

I feel like I'm stabbin' Janice
in the back.

I learned to stop giving
so much consideration

to the people
who haven't done the same for me.

I'm going to accept
the Executive Director position.

You need to make the decision.

[Viv] I've got my eyes on Erika.

Welcome to the team, Philip.

I thought you were a stuck-up mean girl.

I'm just kinda shy.

I am too.

Stalkin' Jazz's IG?

It's okay to say you miss him...

I do not.

Jazz is the past,
let's focus on your future.

[Hilary] Is that hot tub invite
still open?

We know you've been lookin' for Frederick.

Keepin' him safe
has been our first priority.

Mine too.

I need to talk to you
about the Founder's Award.

May the best man win.

This video came out
and now everyone thinks I'm the villain.

Sooner or later, your truth
will have no choice but to reveal itself.

I'm not on drugs!

Yo! You have the stuff?

I do.

Bro, he's only lookin' out for himself.

-Y'all can't see that?
-Look, Doc is all we got.

Yeah, and when you walk outta here,
you walkin' to a new Lex

and a nice crib.

So, what, Doc was plottin'
to get at my uncle this whole time?

He has connections, right?

I just need a little bit
of that Philip Banks gangsta shit.

Lorenzo, he's threatenin' to expose me
if I don't give him what he wants.

Which means,
every single player on this team

will be ineligible to play college ball.

Even Will.

[Lou] I came here
to make things right for that boy!

[Will] How 'bout you take your fuckin'
bum ass, and get the fuck up outta here!

If basketball gets taken away,
he'll be devastated.

Which is the only reason
I'm even considering helping Doc.

And how does he think you're supposed
to fix this Lorenzo problem anyway?

I dunno. I'll make some calls,
see who I know.

If Will loses out on everything
he's worked so hard for...

I dunno what that would do to him.

Who grandpa is this? C'mon, man, check up.

Old-ass nigga... C'mon! You suck!

Hey, this my shit! You can't fuck with me!
If I let you score, you gonna go home?

[Will] Shit, man, that was shit!

I'ma put you on skates, man, what's up?

You wanna know why?

Cause I'm the shit, boy!

[hip-hop music]

Stop playin' with me boul, I'm really him!

This shit is embarrassin'. Check up.

Man, shorty runnin' his mouth
is gettin' old.

Only thing gettin' old is you, bitch.

-Bitch?
-[Will] Yeah!

-Where you from, little nigga?
-What the fuck?

-I'm from West Philly, nigga!
-Hey, chill!

-Hey, chill! Hey, hey, hey!
-You want some of this?

Forgive my cousin, okay?

-He is not from here.
-He better watch his fuckin' mouth.

-Or what?
-Hey, hey, hey.

We don't want any problems, okay?

I promise you. Ain't that right?

That's right, right?
Lemme talk to you for a second.

You got a death wish now?

What the fuck are you doin'
here anyway, Jazz?

Man, JB called me
and told me you was wilin'.

-Ain't you supposed to be in school?
-I don't need no daddy, Jazz.

Look, I know you goin'
through stuff, a'ight?

But you can't turn to street shit
every time life don't go yo' way.

You better than that.

-You don't know who I am.
-I don't know who you...

Nigga, look around.

This is not West Philly.
You don't have to be that guy.

Man, fuck you, Jazz.

Really?

[sniffs]

[Mrs. Bassin] Morning, Carlton.

Hi.

You ready for today's
mental health kick-off?

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

I talked you up
to the Princeton recruiter.

She wants to set something up.

Wait, are you being serious?
That's fantastic.

You are ending junior year strong.

Everything you wanted
is within your reach.

Including the Founder's Award.

Your win is gonna make
Bel-Air Academy history.

Eh, well, I haven't won yet.

[Mrs. Bassin] I know, but I'm hopin'
for good things tomorrow.

And just know,

this one is a win for all of us.

[school bell rings]

[background chatter]

[Lisa] Hey, boy, hey.

Lis...

[Lisa] Got your message.

Seems like you needed a friend.

Oh, nah...
[sighs]

I was just buggin'.

You didn't have to drive
all the way out here.

You were there for me.

Let me be here for you.

The court was the one place

where I felt in control.

Like nobody else
was in charge of my future but me.

Nobody else.

Turns out even that shit wasn't true.

My mom used to say,

"Life doesn't always give you
what you want,

but it gives you what you need."

You just gotta figure out
what that means for you.

[waves crashing]

Hey.

Thanks for showin' up.

It's what friends do.

And so you feel like
that's what's best for us?

Just bein' friends?

I do.

["Déjà Vu" by Easy McCoy playing]

♪ It's like déjà vu,
I see it all the time... ♪

♪ Yeah, it's like déjà vu,
I see it all the time... ♪

♪ Yeah ♪

Hmm.

Wow. That...

-That was delicious.
-[chuckles]

[in French] You haven't lost your touch.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[in English] Mm. Four years of AP French.
We still got it.

And what if I told you

that could come in handy real soon?

My bye-week starts tomorrow.

You and me could be
on a transatlantic flight

to the city of lights.

Paris?

[chuckles]

Yeah, right.

Yeah, we can walk down the Champs Élysées,

take a private boat down the Seine.

You know I got the hookup
at all the Michelin Star spots.

I don't know.

It's just, you know, the House
is finally getting a lot of publicity.

I have a lot of content
to edit and upload.

What I'm hearing is

you need a break.

Listen,

after the night we had...

I'm not tryin' to read too much
into it, but...

it felt amazing.

Yeah.

-You definitely remember what I like.
-Mm.

But honestly, this trip's not about that.

I just think it'd be a chill way
to reconnect.

Tomorrow?

[in French] Let me think about it.

Absolutely.

[Erika in English] Hello?

Hello?

Hey.

Thanks for comin'.

You were, uh,
pretty mysterious on the phone.

What is this place?

Well, hopefully, the new home
of Philip Banks and Associates.

My new law firm.

Yeah, James is all set up
to run the legacy firm,

I'm co-counsel
to keep Garrison happy, but, uh...

it's time for me to think
about my next big move.

Well, your next big move
is at Carson and Lake.

That was our deal.

And, I'll take all those big clients
your firm promised me.

But, instead of being an in-house lawyer,

I'm gonna be a smaller firm that
Carson and Lake outsources business to.

[chuckles] Yeah, I don't know
if the partners are gonna go for that.

Might help to remind them
that less than 1%

of the outside firms that they hire
are minority-owned.

Look, it's not lost on me
the value that my face brings, okay?

I'll still show up
at all the client lunches,

I'll sit in on all the right meetings.

-Yeah.
-The optics.

I'm sure you know what that's like.

Help your partners see
that this is a win-win.

I mean, either way, you got me.

Isn't that what you wanted?

I was surprised
that you wanted to stop by.

I wanted to talk to you right away.

The Essie Green Gallery
wants to feature five of your pieces

in their latest exhibition.

[Viv] What?

Oh. That's amazing...

I made some phone calls on your behalf,

but I wanted to come
and deliver the good news in person.

Something wrong?

No, no... I'm just... [exhales]

I'm just in shock.
Oh, thank you so much, Janice.

You sure you're okay?

-Of course.
-All right then.

Oh, one last thing...

I heard that the Neeman Board
wants you to replace me

as Executive Director.

[sighs]

Okay. Yes...

But, they came to me.

And after all that I have done for you.

For me?

You mean to me.

Ever since I've accepted this Fellowship,
you have done nothing

but squeeze the life out of me.

And I didn't ask for that job.

Good. 'Cause it's never gonna happen.

I am not giving up my position.
Not without a fight.

And that's a fucking promise.

Good day.

[door closes]

[students chattering]

So lemme get this straight,

you and Will both skipped first period
and now you're sneakin' in together?

You wanna ask me somethin', Drew,
just ask it.

Okay, look, I'm just lookin'
for a little honesty.

Yeah?

Oh, right,
like the locker room video of Carlton.

Anything I should know about?

Well, I got nothin' more to say.

[Tyler] Yeah, I'll catch up with you guys.

[boy] Later, Ty.

What's up, Will?

Or should I say
Future Founder's Award winner.

[chuckles]
Not yet, man.

Hey, but congrats, I see you guys
are playin' to get to the semis.

Thanks. Yeah.

But we got Saint Paul next.

-They're fucking vicious.
-Ah.

Would've been sweet to go the whole way.

[Carlton laughing]

[Tyler] Since when are Carlton
and Connor boys again?

Carlton has been
on his own shit lately, bro.

I can't help anybody
who doesn't wanna help themselves.

[indistinct chatter]

Hey.

So, the Carson and Lake power move
might just come through, babe.

-I'm hearin' they like my offer.
-Yeah?

-[Phil] Yeah.
-That's... That's great.

What's wrong?

Yvette just called to say
the Executive Director position

may not work out.

Janice...

She's threatening to go to the media

and say the Board is pitting
two Black women against each other.

And I'm just some pawn goin'
along with it.

Come on.

I was actually startin'
to get excited about the real influence

-I could have in that position.
-Look, babe, babe.

I know that this Fellowship journey
has had more lows than highs.

Well, you ever think
it could be time to just...

let it go?

Wow, déjà vu.

Like when my art started
to get too difficult,

you told me to just walk away.

No, no...

I just don't like seeing you so stressed.

-You sure?
-Yeah.

'Cause there's definitely a pattern.

Opening a new office,
starting your own firm.

Wouldn't it be great
if I just had a lot of free time

to focus on you and your needs?

Wait, where is this coming from?

I am always encouraging you
to run through your obstacles.

I wish you'd stop telling me
to run from mine.

[Viv sighs]

[phone rings]

Hey, baby.

I know, I know... It's all right.

I know you've been
dealin' with a lot lately.

[sniffs]

[Will] I wish I could just move on.

And pretend he never existed.

Doc?

Lou.

I looked him dead in his face
and I told him I didn't need him.

So, why do I still feel like I do?

[sobs]

[Vy] Well, he's your father, baby.

You can hate him
and need him at the same time.

I just keep puttin' my faith
in people who keep lettin' me down.

What's wrong with me, Ma?

[Vy] I know you're searchin'
for somethin' outside yourself.

But no one else holds your destiny, son.

Not Lou.

Not your uncle. Not Doc.

Maybe it's time

to stop looking for the answers
in someone else

and be that answer for yourself.

[Hilary laughing]

Here you are, honey bee.

Thanks, Daddy.

Ugh, my suitcase was way too small
for all the fabulous Parisian outfits

I'm gonna pack.

I had no idea you and LaMarcus
were even gettin' serious again.

I wouldn't say that we're serious.

I mean, there was a lot of drama
with me and Jazz,

and it's just easy with LaMarcus.

Good.

You deserve a man
who'll give you the moon and the stars.

Mm-hm. Just be careful.

Careful about what?

Even though guys like LaMarcus
wanna give you the world,

don't get so sidetracked by the comfort,

that you lose sight of your own goals.

[Hilary] Right.

And if I do choose a guy like LaMarcus,

what does that say about me?

Like material things are more important?

I'm sorry, when did it become wrong
to appreciate nice things?

Well, Jazz accused me of being superficial.

And now I'm packing for a trip to Paris.

Was he right?

Maybe I need to cancel this.

No. No, the right kinda brother
would wanna step up his game

and not make you feel guilty about yours.

As long as he supports the things
that are important to you.

But there's nothin' wrong with a man
who wants the best for you.

That's not a crime.

So...

I should go?

Honestly, it's your choice.

You do what's best for you, honey bee.

[scoffs]

And all of this doesn't even touch
on the fact that Bel-Air Academy

is a place that demands excellence.

But at what cost?

We need to talk about
the enormous pressure

that students put themselves under
with very little room for failure.

Carlton, we wanna thank you.

As we finish out this school year,

we're hoping that
this is just the beginning

for putting initiatives in place
to help all of our students.

-I'm so proud of you.
-Thank you.

[students applauding]

-Nice job, Carlton.
-[Carlton] Thank you so much.

[students chatter]

Appreciate it. Thank you so much.

[clicks tongue]

I gotta give it to you.

You're a genius.

What?

Now you're hating
on mental health advocacy?

No. No matter how much
I rooted against you.

No matter how much I tried
to tell everyone exactly who you are.

Everyone loves you.

Yeah, well, um, it's called hard work.

Maybe you should try it.

Is that really the lie you tell yourself?

C'mon, you're not that stupid.

You know who you are.
You're a fuckin' fraud.

And somehow,

Lisa is still on your side.

But I'm not the bad guy. No.

You are.

[soft tense music]

-Hey, Uncle Phil.
-Hey.

Hey, I wanted to talk to you about Doc.

And see where your head was at.

I've decided not to help him.

And if your eligibility gets called
into question, I promise I'll fight it.

You haven't done anything wrong
and you won't be punished.

Trust me, I got you.

Nah, I know you got me, Uncle Phil.

And I appreciate that.

But my mom helped me
see things differently.

Maybe there's more
that I could do to help.

So, before I walk away,
I was hoping that you'd listen

to what they have to say.

Come on in, guys.

[soft hip-hop music]

Okay. So, uh,

what's up, boys?

Well, when I first came
to the team about Doc,

they all stood by him.

And I, I didn't understand why,

but now I do.

Okay, let's hear it.

Look, none of us were happy to hear
that Doc was takin' money on the side,

and we didn't even know about it.

It started out with me and Lorenzo

and our love for the game.

-We just wanted to help these boys.
-[Jerrell] He's not some monster.

He makes sure that none
of us go without, you know?

Then I started seein'
how corrupt the system was.

How a billion-dollar industry
was earnin' off the sweat of our kids,

and before NIL deals
when they couldn't even earn a dime.

So, I found a way to get in on the hustle.

But not just for myself...

My mom lost her job,
an envelope full of cash

just showed up in my gym bag.

That was Doc lookin' out.

He got my pops a new suit
for a job interview.

Doc came through with groceries,
gas money...

[chuckles]
Hell, he even paid for my dog's food.

[laughter]

We don't really talk about it,
'cause a coach givin' us money

could raise flags
and we don't want any problems.

They know

whatever they need,
they can come to me and I got it.

I'm just holdin' it down for them now
'til they can do it for themselves.

Look. Uh...

I know I can walk outta here
and you'd find a way for me to be fine.

But what about them?

Tell me more about this Lorenzo.

-Thanks for coming, Janice.
-I'm a very busy woman.

But you said you wanted to apologize?

I am sorry...

that it's come to this.

Do you really want
to smear my name in the press?

I have worked very hard to get where I am.

Do you think I'm just gonna roll over?

You know, it is a very clever strategy.

Stirrin' up division in the ranks.

I mean, they're gonna have
a field day with this one.

-What do you mean?
-Oh, come on...

Two Black women tearin' each other apart?

They already think
that we can't get along.

That we'd rather fight
for the few scraps they'd give us.

So, why not hand them one more
ugly narrative that they'd love to tell?

Or...

we can hand them another one.

A press release?

I'd rather write a story
about you bein' an innovative leader

who opened up doors
and transformed the art world

for people like me.

But now, you've decided to retire.

Travel.

Write your books.

Spend more time
with your grandchildren in Detroit.

-So, you're not backing down?
-No, I'm not.

Janice...

it's time to move on.

Look, if it's not me,
it's just gonna be somebody else.

And there is no guarantee that
that someone will even look like us.

Do you want the legacy
that you built to continue?

Then pass the torch to a woman
who'll hold it just as high as you.

I got this.

I thought you were ready to negotiate?

I am. Meet my lawyer.

[Phil sighs]

Just a couple questions, won't take long.

[Phil] Got a look at your record.

Petty theft,

property damage, resisting arrest.

Oh, and then there's this one...
busted in a drug raid.

Two of your buddies
are still serving time, but not you.

-How do you explain that?
-Charges were dropped.

Simple.

[Phil] Could be.

Or it could be that you
have friends at the LAPD.

I know I do.

Chief of Police. Nice guy.

He knows a lot of people.

Some might even say
that you are cooperating

with these "friends" in exchange
for a little freedom of your own.

And one call from me
and your paperwork's online.

Think the homies
might be interested in that?

Look, man, when it come down to it,
between me and you?

They got my back. All day.

[Doc] Man, get real, 'Zo!

How long you gon' hold on
to this petty ass grudge?

'Til you come off your fuckin' high horse.

What? Hood money no good for you now?

Nigga, you the one who forgot
where you came from.

-Fuck you.
-No, fuck you!

And fuck you too.

I don't think the conversation is over.

Listen, I'm happy to walk outta here
and leave you two to figure this out.

But these boys put their life
in your hands.

And they're all at home right now
scared to death

that their dreams could get snatched

because two grown-ass men
can't get past their own bullshit.

I know you two set out
to do something great.

And trust me,
I know that not all partnerships

are meant to last forever.

But he's offering you
a very generous buyout.

Twice of what it was before, yeah?

You can go build your own team,

take money from whoever you want.

But let these boys
have the future they deserve.

[pen scribbling]

♪ I used to kick a mean flow, nigga ♪

♪ Walkin' down Madison ♪

♪ Some things mean more
When you used to not... ♪

You gonna tell us why we're here, Coach?

We doing surfing drills?

Not quite.

[Coach Johnson] What's up, Will?
I'm glad you called.

Thanks for comin' through, Coach.

Of course.

[Will] What's up, y'all?

What's goin' on, man?

You've had my back since I got here, Ty.

So, it's my turn to return the favor.

Look, you guys have come way too far
not to make it to the semifinals.

So,

we're gonna show you a few tricks.

-"We"?
-[Will] Yeah.

Brought some of my boys.
We're gonna run a scrimmage.

Oh, shit. Zenith?

[Will] Yeah, man,
those guys play at a different speed.

But if you guys wanna beat Saint Paul,

it's time to level up.

Let's do it.

Thanks, man. Appreciate you, bro.

[Coach Johnson] Hey, Will.

It takes an unselfish player
to wanna see his team succeed,

even when he's no longer on it.

That's all I wanted to see.

You want your spot back on the team
next season, you come talk to me.

-Thanks, Coach. You know I will.
-All right.

A'ight, let's run it!

[players chatter]

Well, it's official.

Okay, so... I got one more question.

Why is your office
so much bigger than mine?

[both laugh]

Hey, are you ready to build an empire, G?

Ya don' know.

I just don't know why we waited this long.

-Right?
-[both laugh]

[phone buzzing]

Everything okay?

I, uh...

keep gettin' missed calls
from an unknown number.

When I answer, no one picks up.

[Erika] Hello, hello...

Nice to see you again, Geoffrey.

Erika.

I, uh, just wanted to say congratulations.

-I hope I'm not interrupting?
-No, no, no.

Actually, you're a very big part
of making this all happen, so.

Well, the partners agreed.
It's a smart business move.

-I'll, uh, look over that lease.
-[phone buzzing]

So,

how does it feel?

Fucking fantastic.

[laughs]
Ah, you deserve this. We deserve this.

-[Phil] Yeah.
-Oh.

Uh, I'm... I'm sorry.

We really gotta keep
this professional, Erika.

-That cannot happen.
-No, I agree.

I just got caught up in the moment.

-Won't happen again.
-Good.

Uh, how 'bout you
and Viv enjoy this later, huh?

Right. Yes. Thank you.

Congratulations again, Phil.

Thank you.

There's, uh, still time
to re-think this, ya know.

No. No. This is happening.

A woman that desires you like that?

Feels good for any man.

Careful, Phil.

I know how to handle Erika.

Part of it is just playing
her game a little.

But I can manage this.

"Being a leader is demonstrating that..."

Nah, nah.
"Being a leader is sacrificing..."

[Will] Wow, thanking your fans
before you even win?

Isn't that bad luck?

Can I help you with anything, Will?

I always wondered
what it would be like to have a brother.

And now I know.

Sometimes you just wanna just...

just kick that muhfucka's ass.

You know, we had our ups and downs,
but we got through junior year

without killin' each other,
and that is a win in my book.

Right?

Look, man, I... [sighs]

I know what it's like to have

my foot in two different worlds.

I fought so hard to hold on

to West Philly Will.

Whatever that is.

And the truth is I'm just

not the same guy.

And neither are you.

And that's okay.

Look, man, this whole you and Connor vibe?

You don't have to go back
to bein' that dude.

And I know I been distant. I know.

But I'm here, C.

I'm still your ace.

Got it.

Thanks, I'll, uh...

I'll see ya downstairs.

[Will chuckles]

How do I look?

You look great. How you feel?

-I feel good!
-[Phil] Yeah?

I mean, it's my first time wearin' a tux.

Well, get used to it, all right?
'Cause your future's bright, Will.

You steppin' up to help everybody out?

I'm proud of you.

Well, thank you for helpin' out the team.

-Oh.
-Givin' 'em a second chance?

Yo, they all said they wished
they had an Uncle Phil.

[both chuckle]

Yeah, and I'm sure glad I do.

-Love you.
-I love you too.

Yo, and seein' you in action,
I think I might have a lil' lawyer in me.

-Is that right? Yeah?
-Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I was thinkin' 'bout sports law, right?

-You know?
-Okay, yeah...

We need some more good guys lookin'
out for us athletes.

-Mm-hm.
-Like, uh, Will Smith and Associates.

-Oh, I like that.
-You like that?

-I see it. A very nice ring to it.
-[Will] Yeah, yeah...

Wow. Look at you two, so handsome.

[Phil] Yeah, like two young kings.

-Mm.
-Now, listen,

no matter who wins tonight,
it's still a celebration, okay?

And I'm lucky to have
two big brothers to look up to.

You know, after all the stuff
with the protest and Ms. Hughes,

I never really got a chance
to say thank you.

So, thank you, Will, for not letting me
give up when I wanted to.

You told me to keep going,
and I'll never forget that.

And Carlton,

you showed me it's okay
to be unapologetically myself.

I have the courage to be me,
and that's all because of you.

Thanks, Ash.

This night is just so huge
and you're both my heroes.

-[Will] Bring it in.
-[Ashley chuckles]

[Will laughs]

Thank you.

[Ashley] Mm-hm.

Thank you.

[Viv] Oh, that's great, sweetie.
I love it.

[soft upbeat music]

[indistinct chatter]

Hey.

You good, G? You been kinda quiet.

I, uh...

I traced those calls
comin' from that unknown number.

They're comin' from a phone
in East London.

You look beautiful tonight.

Thanks.

[clears throat]

Uh, I did leak that video.

Look, I know I can be
an asshole sometimes,

but it's 'cause I call bullshit
when I see it.

And I'm callin' it right now.

This thing between you and Will?

Until you get past that,
you'll never be open to me or anybody.

And you can deny it, but,

you know, then you're the one
who's not being honest.

[chuckles]

Much rather see you like this
than on a street court.

[chuckles]

You look fly, bro. I ain't gonna lie.

-Hey, man, I'm tryna keep up with you.
-C'mon, man...

C'mon. [chuckles]

[sighs]

Hey, man, I appreciate you.

Always lookin' out,
puttin' up with my bullshit.

Don't trip.

You my brother.

-We cool.
-[chuckles]

Yeah.

So, uh, is Hilary on her way or...

Oh, man, what if I told you
that she was on a plane right now

with LaMarcus on the way to Paris?

What? Fuck, I knew...

I saw the IG, man.

Can't say I didn't see this shit comin'.

Hey, LaMarcus aside,

how do you feel?

I feel like I might've messed
up the best thing

that's ever happened to me, Will.

That's good to know,

'cause it's not too late to tell her.

But, I mean, you just said that...

Well, I, I said,
"What if she's on a plane."

Her flight leaves in a couple hours.
You better get up outta here.

-Good luck, man. I love you, bro.
-Love you too.

-West Philly.
-[Will] Hey.

-What's up, man?
-What's up, Doc?

Your uncle gave me the invite.

Well, I mean, I did tell him
that the only reason I stayed in the race

was because of your advice.

I'm glad you listened, man.

I'm proud of you.

-I'ma go holla at the fam.
-All right.

[indistinct chatter]

[Jackie] Congratulations.

[Will] Oh, Jackie, uh...

Seems like

everybody made up except for us.

Yeah.

Um, Doc's your family, I get it.

Things just got complicated.

Yeah.

[exhales heavily]

I just wish, um...

I just wish things could've started
a little differently.

Well,

we still got time for a do-over.

[Viv] Jackie!

-Hi, Mrs. Banks!
-[Viv] Oh my goodness! Oh...

-[Jackie] So good to see you.
-[Viv] Oh, so great to see you.

-You look beautiful.
-Oh, thank you!

Excuse me for a second.

Sure. And I...

-Ashley.
-[Ashley] Hi, Olivia.

[Ashley giggles]

-Love the pantsuit.
-Thanks.

Love your rainbow pin.

-Do you wanna hang this summer?
-Definitely.

[chuckles]

[exhales deeply]

[Will] Lisa,

about what you just saw.

-Jackie and I, we're not...
-You don't have to explain.

We're just friends, Will.

And I was serious about that.

No one has to get hurt.

No feelings have to be involved.

But what if it's too late for that?

Look, you told me

that life gives you what you need.

Well, I need you in mine.

-But I thought we said...
-Fuck what we said.

How do you feel?

♪ 'Cause you've always been mine ♪

[sniffing]

Aah.

[sniffs]

[Ashley] What are you doing?

[Carlton] Um...

Uh. It's, uh, it's just Xanax.

Uh. It helps calm my nerves.
And tonight, I've got a bunch, so...

What's up?

Just wanted to give you these.

Oh.

Oh, wow.

Thanks. I would've been totally
screwed without these.

-[locker door closes]
-Uh, we should get going though, yeah?

That's not Xanax.

What, uh...

What do you mean?

I'm not stupid.

C'mon, Ash.

You should, uh...

You should just let it go.

For me.

-I can't do that.
-No, hey, hey!

Hey, don't you say a goddamn thing.

Okay?

Okay!

I won't.

[suspenseful music]

[breathing heavily]

[knocking on door]

Uh, one second.

Sorry, can you give me five min...

Jazz?

-[door closes]
-[Jazz] Heard you're leaving.

[Hilary] Jazz,

now is not a good time.

I'll take whatever time I can get, okay?

I just don't want any regrets,
or leave anything unsaid.

What is there to say?

Hilary, you're perfect.

You're beautiful. You're smart.
You're funny.

You're sexy as hell.

You got your career shit goin' for you...

There's no way in hell
I deserve a girl like you.

So, all that shit that I said and I did...

You know, I...

I guess I was just pushin' you away
before you could do it to me.

I didn't get out of bed for days.

Sent every call to voicemail.

I canceled all my appointments.

'Cause that's how hurt I was.

While you were protecting your heart,

no one was protecting mine.

I never meant to hurt you, Hilary.

I don't wanna feel that way ever again.

[Jazz] I know.

But love hurts.

Yes.

I love you, Hilary.

And I've never told any other woman
that besides my mom.

Can you promise me

that it's not gonna hurt again?

No.

No, I can't.

But I'm willin'
to take that chance on you.

Are you willin' to take it on me?

I don't know.

Well, when you do,

you know where I'll be.

[soft music]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[host] And now here to present
this year's Founder's Award recipient,

Mrs. Bassin.

[applauding]

The Founder's Award is Bel-Air Academy's
most prestigious honor.

For decades, it's been granted to a junior

who exemplifies dignity,
excellence, and leadership.

And tonight, it gives me great pleasure

to present this year's
Founder's Award to...

-Carlton Banks!
-Hey!

[crowd cheering]

Yeah!

[Will] Whoo!

Congrats, bro!

Hey, your crown is waitin' for you, C.

Oh, I'm so proud!

[Carlton] Wow. Thank you all.

First, I would like to thank the trustees,

the faculty,
and the students for this honor.

[Carlton chuckles]

Um... and...

and, and to my family. 'Cause, uh...

Because... [chuckles]

Uh...

Without you, I, uh...

Uh...

I'm sorry.

I'd like to apologize,

because I've led you all to believe
that I'm worthy of this award, and, um...

I'm not.

Because, uh...

Because I'm a drug addict.

[indistinct mutter]

[Carlton sniffs]

A really fuckin' good one too. I, uh...
[sniffs]

I'm high on coke most days.

In fact, I'm high right now. And, uh...

[somber music]

I know how to say and do what I need
to get everyone to believe

what I want them to.

And I look at the people
who love and support me every day...

and I lie to them.

And I feel like shit.

[sniffles]

And I don't want to anymore.

I'm definitely nobody's hero.

I'm sorry.

[murmuring]

We'd like to have a moment alone
with Carlton, please.

[Will] Hey.

Took a lot of courage, C.

Whatever you need.

-I love you, man.
-Thanks, Will.

Look, Ash, I'm sorry.

Carlton.

I don't even know where to start.

Cocaine?

[sighs]

This is serious.

[Phil] How long?

How long have you been doin' this shit?

-Okay, Phil...
-No, just lemme talk to my son.

Please.

How long?

Um... [clears throat]

Two, maybe three...

Years?

[exhales heavily]

Where do you keep it?

Um, I, uh... Uh...

In this house?

[Carlton] Look, I just...

-I...
-Where do you get it?

Look, it's not that hard to find.

-Who do you do it with?
-Everyone, Dad. It's Bel-Air.

Okay, how do you pay for it?
'Cause you sure as hell don't have a job.

-I mean, I have money.
-[Phil] Right.

You get a weekly allowance
for doin' not a goddamn thing!

Don't... Don't look at her.
She's not gonna bail you out.

-Not, not this time.
-Okay, okay...

Uh, maybe we just need
to take a breath. Just...

-Now is just not the time, Phil...
-[Phil] Then when is the time, Viv?

When we find him strung out in his room?

In the streets?

Or, oh! When we're burying him
because he didn't have the backbone

to say "no" to what everyone else
was doin' at Bel-Air!

I'm sorry, Dad. Look, all right, I...

[Phil] Whatever you needed,

we made sure you have it.

The best schools,
tutors, therapists, assessments, doctors.

I've given you the best
of everything I've got. And...

And you wish that you had a stronger son,

right?

Right? A son that didn't need meds,
or have anxiety, or panic attacks...

Look, trust me, Dad,
I know I'm not the son you dreamed of!

If I grew up
with half the things you have...

The opportunities.

-I didn't have any of this shit!
-[Phil] Right.

You came from nothing,
and you never let me forget

how lucky I am!

How many times do I have to apologize

for giving everybody else
a great fucking life!

Well, I'm done taking the blame!

[dramatic music]

Give him time.

We're gonna get you better.

That's a promise.

Look, I know I didn't respond great,
I just need a moment with this, okay?

It's, it's okay.

We all need to give each
other grace right now.

I mean, after all we've done and tried.

I just... I just feel like...

We failed.

Are we that busy?

That checked out?

How did we miss it?

And now with the moves we're makin',

our lives are only getting busier.

And he's gonna need our support
more than ever.

Yeah, well...

We'll figure it out.

Yeah, we will.

We're gonna be there for C, though.

For sure.

[exhales heavily]

And as wild as that night was,
I'm glad it's finally all out there.

Yeah, same.

He's gonna be okay.

I could definitely use a break
from this place, though.

Yo, I'm ready
to let Bel-Air know what's up.

-Oh, now you're ready?
-Oh, yeah...

Yeah, the prince has arrived, baby.

[chuckles]

Hey, yo, senior year's gonna be dope.

Oh, slow down.
We've still got summer first.

Right.

What's summer like in Bel-Air anyway?

[chuckles]

You have no idea.

What's that supposed to mean? What?

Okay, so, I know you be at the parties...

-It's crazy.
