Beth, it is so good
to see you again.

It's so great to see you too.

Is this gonna be all?

That's gonna be all for now.

Do you have any
plans for Christmas?

Hopefully I can get
those kids to come home.

- Oh.
- Oscar would love

to see them more often.

He would love that,

and you would love that as well.

Yes.

What are they up to
anyhow, these days?

Noah's a big time producer.

Ooh, is he now?

Has he worked
with anybody famous?

Not yet, but I'm sure he will.

Of course he will.

- Oh, 26.89.
- Oh, yes,

here we go.

So what about Michael and Dani?

Well, Michael is determined
to get the Pulitzer

any way he can.

And Dani,

Dani is still
bossing people around

to get what she wants.

So you wanted a dream house,

a house that you could
start a family in,

a great neighborhood,

great schools.

This is it,

so are we sold?

Yes.

Yes.

Awesome.

Thank you.
,

let's check it out.

Yeah, let's go.

Yeah, they grow up so fast.

Yes, they do.

Yes, oh, I almost forgot.

Mary Anne,

have you heard of this,

Cyndi nonsense doll?

Well,

I had a couple of customers
come in and ask about it.

She's supposed to take
Christmas by storm.

I've been looking for the
thing all over the place.

My niece only wants
that for Christmas.

And if you start selling
that in the store,

please, please,
please do let me know.

As a matter of fact,

Oscar's working
on that right now.

Well, you tell
Oscar I love him,

and I'll see you later.

All right, sweetie.

- Bye, Darling.
- Bye, bye.

Sally.

Mr. Randall,

Franklin Toys,

is a community staple and,

we set up quality toys
with a little history

in it.

Mr. Franklin, we appreciate

the rich history that you
and your family have had

in your community,

for a long time.

We've done a lot of business
together over the years,

but these numbers
they're concerning.

I just don't see how you're
gonna be able to pull

a reasonable profit.

I know times are tough, but

haven't we always
come to look for you.

Yeah, you have.

But as of recently, just barely.

Look, we've had to shift
our focus to more of the big

retail chains and not so much

the little mom-and-pop shops.

Oh, look, look at the numbers.

Look at the numbers,
Mr. Randall,

if you look at the mom-and-pop,

statistics were
right up at the top,

shouldn't that
count for something?

It does,

it does, it shows that
you and your family

have created longevity.

Other companies have
not been able to,

and you guys have
something to be proud of.

Here's the thing,

you got a brand new, big
retail chain that's going up

right next to ya in the mall.

You got online competition.

I just don't see how you're
gonna be able to compete.

We're gonna compete the way
we've always been competing,

with hard work and,

and with quality products.

And that's where
your toys come in.

I get it, I do.

And I sympathize with
you, Mr. Franklin.

I really do.

It's just not in the numbers.

I'm gonna have to
get with the board,

and we'll be in touch.

I appreciate your time.

Yo, yo, yo.

It's your mama.

Be right back.

Yes, mama.

What about hello, mama?

I love you, mama.

I thought I raised
you better than that.

I'm sorry, mama.

How you doing?

I'm doing fine, but
you'd know firsthand

if you came home more often.

Mama, and I'm over here
trying to do this music thing.

And sometimes my schedule
gets the best of me.

I understand.

But I could try to come
home after the new year.

Okay.

We wanted you to come home
for Christmas with your

brother and sister.

I don't think I
could do that, mama.

I mean, I got a lot of artists

who are trying to release
music around that time.

I understand,
but I miss my baby.

Well, luckily for you,

you a two others ones now,

for sure they ain't me, but,

- Hey, yo,
- they are two,

You can't get back on this.

Mama,

I gotta go with, I love you.

I love you too son.

Michael Franklin here.

Your mother here,

How have you been,

I haven't heard
from you in weeks.

I have been on the assignment
and chasing down leads, ma.

Oh, anything fun
or interesting?

Corruption is not fun
nor is it interesting.

I hope you're being
careful, Michael,

these assignments
sound very dangerous.

Yes, I'm being careful ma.

But exposing the
fraud and corruption

in some of these
countries is necessary.

I agree.

Are you coming
home for Christmas.

Ma, let me call you back.

I'm on a stake and
I gotta go, bye.

Bye.

That was rude.

Dr. Torres
dial 1822, please.

Dr. Torres.

- Hey mom,
- 811.

how are you?

Oh,

finally one
of my children knows

how to answer the phone.

What,

what are you talking about?

Oh, don't worry
about it, honey.

Can I convince you to come
home for the holidays?

Oh, we're actually going
to Robert's parents house.

His mom really misses him.

I know how she feels.

Mom, it's not like that.

- Doctor,
- You know deployment,

is hard on families,

you were military wife.

Yes, I was.

I understand.

Oh, but I'll miss you.

Oh, hey mom,
something came up.

I'm gonna try to call you
later this week, okay?

I love you.

Bye.

Hello, Mrs.
Hughes, come on in.

Okay.

Honey, you will not
believe your children.

My children.

How come they're my children

whenever they done
something wrong.

I called all three of them.

Not one of them can
make it for Christmas.

Come on, they've
all full grown now,

and this is supposed to
be a blessing for us.

Oh yeah,

see, this is what they call

empty nesting.

But I miss my babies.

I miss my babies too.

But, all this mama bear stuff

is not gonna get these
kids home any sooner.

Is everything okay.

Yeah, everything is okay.

I'm just an old man and old man.

An old man that I
love to moon and back.

Well, all right.

Honey.

I thought I told
you that looked at.

I will, first
thing in the morning.

- No scouts on.
- Let's get outside.

Let me get you
some tea, come on.

I'll even but little
bourbon in it if you want.

All right.

Some sleep tea.

Oh my God.

Started on your
Christmas shopping yet?

Nope,
I don't have time.

You better
make some time.

Always working, man.

Well, we're gonna
keep you working,

you might not never get
to do more shopping.

What I wanted to say was,

nice work on the city
hall pay a house.

You're becoming a
lot more like me.

Thank you, Peter.

I wanted to pitch an
idea to you that I know

is gonna break wide open.

Oh, the proverbial pitch.

Wow me.

So you know about
the flood that

happened across town, right?

Yeah, the one that had silver
set of blocks and destroy.

Yeah, that one.

What if I told you
that the Councilman

that's in charge of hiring

the construction crew
to do the repairs,

is only hiring
contractors who've made

substantial contributions
to his campaign.

It just sounds like
more city corruption

that nobody even cares about.

Why don't you take the
holidays out to recharge,

and come back with
fresh ideas, okay.

Well I could,

or I could sit on
the suspicion that

that Councilman purposely
delayed the repairs

to the barrier that broke,
which led told her this damage.

Do you have proof of this?

Would I be sitting
here if I didn't.

I liked the way you think.

I'll tell you what?

Get this to me like yesterday.

I mean, you just gave me a
couple of days off to recharge.

Who, me?

Nah, that was a rubbish idea.

Go home and get to it.

I want it by Christmas.

I got you, man.

Take care of yourself.
All right,

I haven't a one now.
All right.

Georgia, what do we do?

The company is gonna
devour my toy contract,

what am I gonna do?

I can't take this
home to Mary Anne,

I gotta take care of my family.

Where am I gonna come
up with $100,000.

Georgia, come on.

Oscar,

Oscar, I'm sorry.

Now I've tried everything
within my power.

I'm hitting a road
block at every turn.

This cannot be happening,
what are we talking about here?

Well, unless then
you can come up,

with the money for
the back mortgage,

you're gonna lose the
house and the store.

I'm sorry.

But the loan that we got,

the loan that we got
from the refinancing

that was supposed to help us
not put us back in the hole.

where we,

where we were.
Are you okay?

You need something.

I should have known

that this company would
the deny my toy contract

after going through
my figures, I.

Oscar, look,

it was worth a try.

I mean, there was
always the hope that

they were gonna give
you this contract

Oh, yeah.

based on your
history with them.

Yeah, yeah, I know,

I know, I know.

Yeah, yeah.
Oscar,

Oscar,

go home, talk to
Mary Anne about this,

because I know when
the two of you all

put your heads together,

something amazing
is gonna happen.

What if she kills me first?

Well, I've got a
black dress already,

so there's nothing
to worry about.

Work together.

Take over for me here, huh?

Can I help you, sir?

Yes.

Lionel Ellis, Rigo Realty.

Mrs. Franklin.

You know my name.

I make it my business to
research potential business.

Tell me,

how long have you
been at this location?

Many years, why do you ask?

Well, honestly,

I've been watching the
foot traffic in this area,

and from what I see,

you're losing money
due to this location.

We've been doing
fine in the past.

Okay, I understand that.

But I believe that your
business would be better suited

for the Toy Time Franchise.

Isn't that that company

that's buying up all
the mom-and-pop stores?

I've heard about you people.

Were doing fine just as we are.

We see the struggle

a lot of the local
businesses are having,

and we are trying to help
the owners see the future.

Well, this is something
you should discuss

with my husband.

Whose answer will also be no.

Happy holidays, excuse me.

Sally,

could you help me,

get some these stuff back here.

Dani Franklin Hughes.

Hey baby, how are you?

Hey babe, why are you
calling my office phone?

I just read out the
last number, how are you?

I'm good.

Just working.

Nothing new.

Well, that's not true.

I wanted to be there for you.

You were there in spirit.

Dani, it was the
first sonogram.

Is it a boy?

I know it is, I can feel it.

It's too early to tell.

I wish I was there with you.

Listen, we didn't plan
for it to happen so soon,

you did just get reassigned.

Hopefully the assignment
doesn't last long.

But if there are any issues
you know how to reach me.

Robert, we'll be fine.

Have you told your folks yet?

No, I was planning
on telling them

after the holidays.

After we visit your parents.

Okay, I have to go.

Kiss the baby for me,
and I love you both.

We love you too, Daddy.

Say that again.

We love you too, Daddy.

Talk to you soon, baby.

I love you.

Bye.

Daddy loves you, munchkin.

Did you put the new
Christmas prices on there?

Yes, sir.

Great.

Did you want me to mark
the ones on the back shelf?

Oh, sure, why not?

And would you
please check to see

when the wrapping is arriving?

Okay, great.

Thank you.

Why don't you just do that and,

I'm gonna step
outside for a second.

Okay.

What are you doing

havering around

my store?

I just came by to see if you

took another look at my offer.

I think the terms
are more than fair.

I have told you
time and time again,

we are not

selling this

business has been in our
family for generations.

I understand that,

but I am giving you the chance

to take this store
into a better area,

with more customers.

What can be better than that?

I spoke with your
wife yesterday,

and she seems very interested.

Wait a minute.

What did you say to my wife?

I didn't say anything,

I'll let that bad
news come from you.

Just look over the perspectives.

I can tweak some things around
and make it worth your while.

I don't need,

to read the prospectus.

The answer is no,

and that's final.

Is the answer really
no, Mr. Franklin?

You see, from my understanding,

you're not only gonna
lose this store,

but the home you and
your wife reside in.

You don't know what
you're talking about.

I've got the
information right here.

Listen,

frankly speaking,

no pun intended.

I'm your only option,

unless you wanna
tell her the truth.

Look,

just think about it.

I am your only way out.

$100,000.

I don't know what to
be more shocked about.

Why didn't you
tell me something?

How did it get this bad?

The house and the store.

And if I don't come up

with all the money within
the short amount of time,

we're gonna lose everything.

What do you mean, you
come up with the money?

As far as I'm concerned,

we have to get us
out of this hole.

I thought that everything
was going to be fine, that,

the business was doing well,

but then the businesses
not doing too good.

And then,

before I knew it, we
were in over our head.

What are we going
to tell the kids.

I didn't think that it
was gonna go like this.

I thought that,

something would, would,
would turn for us.

And we could just say
goodbye to this whole thing.

Honey,

I admire you trying to
take care of this yourself,

but,

you can't keep me out of this.

That's what I'm here for,

to help you carry this burden.

You're absolutely correct.

And I do apologize.

I should have let you know,

I should have said
something to you.

Yeah.

I thought that I could
take care of everything,

and then I would let you know.

And I know that you're
very frustrated right now

because your children are not

coming home for the holidays.

So now they, my children.

Oh yeah, whenever
they do anything bad.

Oh, honey.

We're gonna get
through this just fine.

It for future reference.

Don't keep me

out of the loop.

Let me know what I'm up against.

Come on, no more secrets.

No more secrets.

Happy holidays folks.

Same to you.

Come on guys,

Good to see you,
where are you going,

honey,
Hey,

going this way.

Be good to your mum,

and keep it jazzy.

Hey Georgia, how are you?

- Hello,
- Good to see,

good to you too.

I've been calling all morning,
Oscar, please talk to me.

What's going on?

I thought you were my friend.

We have been like this,

since we're little kids.

But now you're
talking to this guy,

who wants to take
everything away from me.

I am confused, what?

Well,

I may have misspoke

to a person that I
thought was a colleague

not realizing that he wasn't.

It's this guy, right?

He's been coming in
here talking to me.

What about him?

His company

has taken on the debt

that is attached to this place,

and to our home,

and our friend here,

Ms. Sister Georgia,

with her loose lips

has been giving him

all kinds of information,

which he is then going to use

to bury us.

George,

how could you?

Like I was trying
to explain to Oscar,

this guy comes in making like

he's with the loan
company and everything,

and never once,

did he disclose who
he actually was,

or his true intentions.

I mean, look at here.

He had a lot of
financial detail already,

and,

I guess he just needed some
key information that I had.

I am so sorry.

I'm trying to make
everything all right.

You've got to believe me.

This is not my intention.

All right, all
right, all right.

It's okay.

We go back a long way,

and I know that this
place has a very deep

place in your heart.

Georgia, what are our options?

- Well,
- Hey.

you're back again.

According to this
vulture right here,

we don't have any option.

Season's greetings folks.

I woke up this morning
in the spirit of giving.

So I thought,

why don't I come by and
give you another chance

to get from under
this heavy load?

You are a snake,

sneaky snake.

You got a lot of nerves show
on your face up in here.

You're upsetting my husband.

I would like you to
just leave please.

Wait, I didn't come
here to upset anyone.

Look,

all I've been trying
to do is help.

This is the season
to be thankful.

I don't need to hear

anything else from you

and,

Oscar,

Oscar,

honey.

Some call 911.

Oscar,

honey.

Did you call the paramedics?

Hurry, please.

Is he gonna be all right?

Just leave.

Yes, Franklin Toy store, yes.

I need an ambulance.

Oscar.

No, Oscar.
Oscar, please.

All right guys,
give me some space here.

We need space here.

Back up, back up, back up.

What's his name?

What's his name?
Oscar.

Oscar,

Oscar, can you hear me?

Oscar, can you hear me?

Oscar,

come on baby.

Come on, Oscar.

Stay with me.

Oscar.

Okay, ma'am give
us a little space.

He's gonna be all right.

He's gonna be all right.

Let him go.

All right, Oscar, let's go.

Oscar, stay with me.

It's okay, ma'am.

He's in good hands.

Go on in.

All right, sir

Come on, honey,

come on.

Okay.

Yo, yo, what's going on?

Where are you going?

I got another session
across town, man.

Yo, I know I'm late

but the session
with Kenny, I mean.

Kind of like,

yo, you're five hours late.

The sessions are most over, man.

- My alarm didn't go off.
- I got,

didn't go off, man.

My fault.

Yo, you, Kenny is
not happy with you.

I gotta go, man,
I'll check you later.

I got a
flight to catch.

And you want to finish.

Go on.

Okay, so.

I will
see you on Monday,

Okay.

but, text
me on Saturday.

Saturday, and I'll
tell you the time.

Okay.

All right, see you later.

Safe travels.

- Thank you.
- All right.

How are you doing?

Hey.

Kenny, man.

I know what you're
gonna say you, right?

No, you don't know
what I'm going to say.

I gave you an opportunity

to do something big, magical,

and this is what you do.

And then you throw
it up in my face.

Kenny,

I can understand why
you had to cancel

the session with Kajun, man.

I'm sorry, my phone
didn't go off.

I over slept.

No, I didn't cancel it.

I gave it to someone else,

because I knew that this
was going to be a hit.

Yo, can't do that.

I reached out to her
to produce the single.

Yeah, I admit that I was late,

but you could have rescheduled.

No, reschedule.

Do you know how busy she is?

She's on a plane
right now, overseas.

Kenny you could've
did something?

I did, I gave it
to someone else,

because at first,

I gave it to someone
that I thought was loyal.

Someone that I trusted,

someone that I
thought I was grooming

to take over all of
this when I'm done.

Kenny.

Noah.

I said I was sorry, man.

All right, what more
do you want from me?

Sorry.

Sorry, everybody's
walking around here,

sorry.

I want you to take a vacation.

You need a break,

so you could get
back to being Noah.

'Cause I don't know who
this character is right now.

Yo, I can't take no vacation.

I got sessions booked up
until after the new year.

Oh, you got sessions booked
up to after the new year?

No, I canceled all of them.

Yo,

you tripping right now because,

you know I got all
these other studios

that wanna work with me,
but I've been loyal to you.

You've got all these studios,

and you been loyal to me.

And what have I been to you?

Nothing below you,

but you can go every corner
in every studio you find,

and you could go work for them.

You know why,
because I'm over it.

Good day Noah.

Kenny.

Good day.

Yeah, call me as
soon as you can.

No, I'm still waiting
to hear something.

I put a call into
the children and,

left messages but,

if they call the store, have
them call me immediately.

Thank you Sally, okay.

Any luck?

Sorry, not yet.

But they will call.

It'll be okay.

It'll be okay.

Mrs. Franklin.

Oh, I'm Mrs. Franklin.

Hi Mrs. Franklin,

Honey.

Hey,

what's going on with Dad?

Dad had a mild heart attack.

What?

But dad's the picture
of perfect health.

What is the doctor saying?

Where's mom?

Ma, is in the room with Dad.

Have you spoken to Noah?

No.

Have you?

No.

Everyone's calling,
he doesn't answer.

Come on, I'll show
you to the room.

Dani.

Oscar, can you hear me?

The children are here.

Dani and Michael are here.

Daddy,

it's your princess.

Can you hear us?

Yeah, he can hear
everything you say, honey.

He's just resting.

Hey pap, it's Michael.

If you wanted me to come over

and help you clean
up the garage,

you should have
just said something.

Gotta get up, mam.

Super heroes are not
supposed to be on their back.

I'll go after him.

Let him go.

Dad.

Boy need some time.

Hey.

Hey,

there is my sweet angel.

Okay, I thought I
was your sweet angel?

No,

you're my queen.

Old man, you scared us.

Yeah.

I scared myself.

Now, where did that doctor,

tell him to get in here?

I'm ready to go home.

No, no dad you need to rest.

If it's the store that
you're worried about,

me and Michael can handle it.

No, that's not it.

Where's Noah?

You need to rest.

- Sorry,
- I need no rest.

Dani is the one needing rest,

she's looking tired up on here.

Dad.

Dani, you and Michael go.

Meet Noah at the house,

I'll call you in a while.

And how do you know
Noah is at the house?

Because I know my son.

Well, bye dad.

I love you.

Why did you let me tell
the kids what's going on?

Because it's none
of their business.

Now, why don't you,

go home and get some rest?

I'm fine.

I'm a big boy.

You are fine

for sure.

I like being around my big boy.

Come you get closer.

I'll start making dinner.

I'll take the
bags to the room,

and then I give you a hand.

I guess all just,

Hey,

dad's gonna be okay.

I know.

I mean, I can't
imagine anything else.

Why don't you go,
get ready for dinner?

You know you're not
the boss of me, right?

Oh, I will always
meet the boss in here.

Whatever.

Love you.

Love you too.

Thank you for
closing up early, huh?

No problem, tell Mr.
Oscar I'm praying for him.

Oh, we appreciate
that, thank you.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Good afternoon, Mrs. Franklin.

I just wanted to stop by and
see how Mr. Franklin was doing.

I failed to see why you care,

but Mr. Franklin
is doing just fine.

Amazing.

I really am praying
for a speedy recovery,

'cause you know, his health
will not stop the inevitable.

Bottom line is all you care
about, isn't it, Mr. Ellis?

I say that to say
Mrs. Franklin, that

you can change your
family's future.

Look, I brought the paperwork

in case you wanted
to look it over.

Hey mama.

Noah.

How you doing?

Lionel Ellis.

How are you doing?

Her son, Noah.

Can I help you with something?

No, he was just leaving.

Good day,

Mr. Ellis.

Okay, you know how
to find me in case you

change your mind.

Who was that?

Nobody's special, I'll,

I'll tell you about it later.

I'm getting ready
to see your father,

and I want you to go with me.

Ma you know I
don't like hospitals.

You father needs to see you.

So let's go.

Okay.

Hey,

Hey mum.

Hi, darling,

it's so good to see you.

Hey mum.

Have a seat.

Don't.

Noah.

Hey boy.

Hey dad.

Come over hear.

Give your father a big huge.

There you go.

I gat you psych.

Well, that will be the
last time I touch you.

Oh my God.

I can see look on your faces.

I wish I had a camera in here.

Let's bring one tomorrow,
I'll do the same thing.

That'd be the last
time I touched you.

Oh, come on.

Have a sense of humor
about this thing, I do.

- Dad.
- Dad,

I don't see the
assistant humor in that.

Oh, you don't?

You don't see the humor in it.

You don't think it's funny,
Sweetheart.

I think it's

extremely funny.
Sweetheart,

not right now.

What is going on?

I think it's funny,

that your mother
called the three of you

to come home for Christmas,

and you had no respect
for that conversation.

And here I am

in my hospital bed,

and that's when you show up.

Dad, you know
we will have come,

but I mean, we
all got lives too.

I understand, baby.

Speak for yourself.

Oh, here's a doctor, come on in.

Hello Franklin family.

How are you doing doctor?

- Good Dr.
- All right.

Dr. Palin, dial 1,

Good news, Oscar.

You can go home in a few days,

providing you follow
strict instructions.

You hear that?

Strict instructions, okay.

To take it easy,

and get some real rest.

Thank you doctor, thank you.

Thank you.
You're welcome.

Oh.

Now,

I do have to run a couple more
tests on the heart attack.

Once I'm satisfied
for those results,

I can go ahead
and discharge you.

Okay?

Any questions at this time?

Anyone?

Nope, thank you.

Okay, y'all have a great day.

- Heart attack.
- Have a good afternoon.

Thank you.

Dad you had a heart attack?

I mean, does this have
something to do with that man

that was at a store earlier mom?

What man?

He's talking about Mr. Ellis.

Oh, that man.

That man.

Oh, that's just the man.

They wanted to take
our home, and our

shop.

Wait, what?

What'd you mean take the
house and the stores?

That's what I'm talking about.

What do you mean?

Why didn't you tell us?

I mean, we could've
helped or something.

Oh yeah.

Well I didn't wanna
bother you because

you see you're so
busy with your lives.

Okay.

- You couldn't possibly,
- Got it.

be there.

Get some rest.

I'll meet you guys back at home.

He said rest.

All right, they're here.

They are here.

We don't have to go into that.

Big baby.

Mama, what
was he talking about

with the store in the house?

Your father doesn't want
me to discuss this with you?

No offense, but

we have the right to know.

Okay,

we are going to lose

the store,

and this place.

- What?
- How?

Well,

the bad economy was

tough on our business

and we had a rough
couple of months and,

your father mortgage the house,

and it just got overwhelming.

Is that what caused
the heart attack?

It's possible.

Why didn't you tell us?

You're father's a proud man.

I didn't find out till
a couple of days ago.

What can we do to help.

Nothing, baby.

We only have a couple of
weeks to save the shop and,

will take a miracle to

get us out of this hole.

Ms. Georgia is
working on something

that could help us, I think.

Mama you look tired.

You need to go get some rest.

Thank you son.

Okay, I'm gonna go up
and take a shower and,

head back to the hospital.

Thank you son.

Your dad doesn't
like to be alone.

Where are you going?

I'm going to see Ms. Georgia.

Y'all coming?

Let's go.

It's so nice to see
all of you all here.

I just wish it was under
different circumstance.

Well, we appreciate you
letting us come in to see

what we can do to help.

Well, honestly,

it's like what your
mother told you.

It's gonna take a miracle.

This whole is pretty deep.

Who is this Mr.
Ellis character?

Mr. Ellis.

Mr. Ellis's company

bought the debt
associated with the house,

and it includes the store.

Sturgeon.

How did it get so bad?

And looking at these financials,

no bank would have
loaned him this much

without a substantial
amount of collateral.

Well, your father is a

well respected member
of this community.

And he's done business with
this bank for several years.

Your father has always
managed to pull himself

out of any hole.

Yeah, well not this time.

I mean, how much do we owe?

Like maybe we can pull
our resources together.

Yeah.

My piggy bank is not that big.

I mean, who do they
own the government?

Well, the economy has been
rough in these parts lately.

And although business
has picked up

because of the holiday season,

it's still not enough
to turn things around.

Well, what could they
do to turn things around?

They would need an
overflow of business,

but in the timeframe
that we have,

it's gonna be impossible.

Okay, so what will cause
an overflow of business?

Well, the only thing I can
think of is a new toy craze.

Now your father and I try
to get a toy contract,

but after the buyers
looked at the financials,

they felt that the store
did not generate enough

foot traffic or

customers to meet
their expectations.

I mean, I can
see that the sell

was definitely getting smaller.

But we have to do something.

We can't just let
everything they worked

their whole lives for
go down the drain.

I need to meet with
this. Mr. Ellis guy.

We don't have
this kind of money.

Yeah, but maybe toy
craze is our only option.

Ms. George.

Yes.

If we convinced
a buyer to give

the store a new toy contract,

would that help our parents?

You know what?

That could work.

But enough units would have
to be sold to cover the debt.

Okay.

And you'd have
to find some way to

drive the sales to the store.

But what's a toy that every
kid wants for this Christmas?

That would be the Cyndi doll.

The singer Cyndi has a doll?

Yes.

You know her?

No, but I mean,

I always wonder work with her.

Well then we need to contact
the toy distributor then.

Hey, let's go meet her.

She's at the mall
doing a CD signing.

Well, okay.

Even more good luck.

Thank you Ms. Georgia.

Ms. Georgia.

- Yes.
- Please,

don't tell our parents.

Your secret is safe with me.

Bye, bye babies.

See you later.

Toodles.

Okay, don't roll up in here
on my favorite color now.

- Come on.
- I love that.

How are you?

Thank you, nice to meet you.

So which, one's your
favorite on the album?

Number

Number four.

The sexy.

That is the sexy one girl,

yep-
Little something

for my ladies, okay.

What's your name
or should I make it

out to?
Grada.

Grada.

Have you even seen the way
she looks fine on those papers?

Yo.

She was looks so sexy.

Man, I'm sorry,

Hey, is everything okay?

Yeah, we just need to
help mom and dad ASAP.

Because I gotta get
back to my life.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, how is it going.

Oh, my God.
My name is,

Noah Franklin.
Noah Franklin.

Oh, wow, you know who I am?

Of course, I know.

Noah Frankly, who does it
know the super producer.

About the only one.

Hater.

I am gonna tell mom.

Well, my sister
was just leaving.

Hi, guys.

Hey, how are you?
How are you doing?

Good, good, good.

All right,

my brother was leaving as well.

Don't worry, Michael.

So, you know what's so crazy?

I was just about to call Kenny

to set up a session with you.

Okay, well was just,

I had to talk to you,

you know what forget all that,

I'm here.

You know,

you know how I do,
I'm good.

All right, thanks.

Well,

let me get back,

I don't need a mob of
angry fans on my hands so,

duty calls.

I was wondering later on,

if you wanted to
ask some drinks,

I wanted to talk to
you about some things.

Oh, you buying?

Drinks and dinner.

Oh, sounds good.

Well, if you're buying I'm in.

It was good to see you.

Nice to see you too.

Take care.

So what did she say?

We haven't dressed tonight
to discuss some things.

So did you get anywhere?

And I got a date.

You got a date.

You got a dat.

Mike.

Yeah.

Mike.

What's wrong?

Hey, babe.

Hey,

how are you feeling?

I hope you've been resting.

Not necessarily.

What does that mean?

Well, my dad had
a mild heart attack,

so I came to help my mom.

He's gonna be okay too, right?

Yeah, he just
needs lots of rest.

But there's a lot
going on right now.

He'll be in my prayers.

And I need you to take it easy.

Have you told them yet?

No, I,

I didn't have the
chance to tell them yet.

Whenever you feel is a
good time, then go for it.

My folks already know.

Yeah, but they
guessed it.

I have to get going.

I love you.

And please take it easy, Dani.

Yes, sir.

I love you too.

All right, baby.

You are my sister
from another mister.

That's it, that's
how it always will be,

no matter what.

Hi babies,

- Hi.
- So how are you?

Hey, Ms. Georgia.

Okay.

Look at the time.

I guess I got to be going.

Oscar, you do what
the doctor says,

and you stay off of that salt,

and you come on
out of here to us.

- Girlfriend.
- And thank you,

for coming by George.
Yes.

And if you need me for anything,

you give me a call,

- I will.
- and I'm gonna leave now,

because I know,

the kids wanna spend time

with their dear old dad.

Oh, okay.

Toodles.

Okay.

So, what y'all been up to?

It was their idea,

I just went along with it.

I see you still
can't hold water

And cries under pressure.

You leave my baby alone.

Thanks mama.

And I thought Noah
was a mama's boy.

I'm mama's favorite now.

Not mama's boy,
that's the difference,

right?

Stop hating.

George has said that you,

three have been out there,

trying to

deal with this
mess that we have.

Wow, so Ms. Georgia can't
keep no secrets either.

Yeah, me too.

Don't I know it.

And we appreciate it, we do.

But,

everything's got
to come to an end,

and you've got to move
on to new adventures

in this life.

Yeah,

your father and I are
at peace with this guys.

Besides that house is too big

for just the two of us
fumbling around in there.

If you haven't noticed,

your father is getting,

older.

Speak for yourself,
I look good.

I look good don't I?

I got it.

Right son?

It's the Franklin way.

You
got what, baby?

I'm not gonna
answer that question

not in my right mind.

Yeah, please don't.

Oh, God.

In all seriousness,

your mother and I do
appreciate everything

that you've done,

but we've got to
let this thing go.

Your mother and I okay.

Really,

really guys, we're fine.

No disrespect,
mom and dad, but,

we're not.

Yeah, we were
raised in that house.

We all had offers
jobs at the store.

And the store has been around

forever in our family.

Yes.

And that store is where I met

this beautiful woman right here.

And I haven't looked back since.

Grandpa built this
store in 1970s, right?

Oh no.

Oh no, that store was
built in the 1950s.

And it was the only store

on the block

to survive the riots in 1965.

Everybody else was putting
up signs that said,

"Black owned

soul brother".

Your grandfather stood in front

of the business.

So they knew that it was
black owned and operated.

Dial 112, please.

I gotta go check on something,

on my own.

I'll see you guys at the house.

- I will come kiss you.
- Mama.

- See you later.
- Pap.

All right, son.

All right, bro.

All right.

Dani, let's go
get some coffee.

Okay.

All right, baby.

Watch out for your
mama now, all right?

'Cause there's some
healthy mans out there.

Come on, dad.

I only have eyes for
you my sweet pumpkin.

- Oh, my God.
- Oh, baby doll,

look at you.

What did I do to
deserve that moment?

I don't know.

Oh my Lord.

Sit down.

I'm glad we had this little

time together.

- Dr. Florence dial 18,
- I,

Dr. Florence.

I don't know if you're
aware of it, but I,

came very close to.

I don't wanna hear that, Pap.

All right.

You're not going nowhere.

Hey.

Nobody gets out of
this life alive.

And,

if I have to check out of here

a little earlier
than expected I just

wanna let you know

that I

need you to take responsibility.

But I don't want it.

Pap, this is,

you're the head
of the household,

without you, I don't want it.

I don't want that.

I need you here, dad.

You're mother and your
sister will need your help.

And,

your brother's gonna
need a lot of help.

Even most secret.

You talk too much.

Oh, Lord.

And I'm younger than him.

He gets that from the
mother's side of the family.

Don't tell her I said that.

Hey,

listen,

I need you,

to take

care of this

family.

When you were born.

I said, "That's a leader."

And I need you to promise me,

to lead

this

family.

Like a Franklin man would.

Yeah.

Here you go.

Thank you.

What?

When are you due?

Mum,

that coffee has
you illuminating.

You're talking to your mother.

I know you girl.

So may I ask you again?

When is my first grandchild due?

♪ Oh oh

♪ Oh oh

In six months?

I knew, did you tell Robert?

Yeah, his parents
guessed it too.

And we wanted to tell
you guys together but,

Well, you gotta
tell your father

'cause he's gonna be so excited.

Yeah.

What?

It's just scary.

Him having a heart attack,

we almost lost him.

Oh, let's not go into
the, what ifs, honey,

'cause it'd drive you crazy.

Let's focus

on my first grandchild,

and how are we gonna
decorate the nursery?

♪ My baby's having a baby

mum.

Oh,

I'm so happy for you.

Hey.

Hi.

Dani Franklin.

Dani Franklin Hughes.

Nice to meet you.

Can I get you something?

No, I'm fine, thank you.

All right.

Well,

I was kinda surprised
when called me.

I understand you're
a real estate agent.

Yes, and I'm a broker
at a finance company.

Wow, I am certainly impressed.

I didn't say that for
you to be impressed.

So can I ask what the
purpose of this meeting is?

Your company is
taking possession of

my family's store and home.

So I'd like to know what
your plans are for it,

and what options
are on the table.

Well,

I asked for your father
just to sell me his store

so that I may use the property

for some other
commercial use, but

he refused to sell.

And was that the only option?

No.

Look,

didn't your father provide
you with all this information.

I'd like to hear
it from the source.

We then offered to
purchase the store

to add it to our
store chain but again,

he refused.

I'm assuming that when
you took on his debt,

you didn't realize it was
linked to our family home.

So you got a two
for one special.

What can I say?

I'm a lucky guy.

It's kind of weird how
I find great deals.

Well, I will review
this paperwork,

but for your sake,

I better not find
any irregularities.

Oh,

I can assure you,

that everything is
up for it on my end.

I've actually been very gracious

by letting them stay this long.

Most companies,

could have put them
out a long time ago.

Good day, Mr. Ellis.

Well, listen,

when that single hit number one,

I almost fell off my chair.

Yeah.

Yo, I almost, as if,

listen, I was just happy about,

the amount of radio time it got.

Well, listen, I just,

I hope you can do the
same thing for my single,

that's all I'm saying.

I got you.

Okay.

When you're trying to
release a new single?

I was hoping by like

Christmas,

What?

Yo, Christmas is
around the corner,

Duh.

Oh, you mean to tell
me that super producer,

Noah Franklin,

can't bang out a hit in
that short amount of time?

Listen if anybody can
do it you know I can.

All right, so why no?

But I'm just saying
like, what's the rush?

Well, I really was hoping
that it would coincide

with the launch of my new doll.

So,

Well look, speaking of that,

I told you about my mom
and my dad toys store.

I was hoping that we can
release the Cyndi doll

at my mama dad's store.

That's the only mom-and-pop
spot in the town.

And I think it'd be the
perfect fit for the Cyndi doll.

Okay, all right.

Well, I mean, honestly

my business manager and
the toy distributor,

they're the ones
that handle that,

but I do this one, right?

So Bruce is my business manager.

So I'll give you his number,

and he'll put you in touch
with the tour distributor

because they're the
ones that handle

when and where the
dolls are getting sold.

Done and done,

sound good.

So you mean in telling me
there's nothing I can do,

to persuade you,

to let me sell this
doll and my toys store.

Well, since we're
starting here,

maybe,

but I would much
rather talk about

this amazing single that
you're about to make for me.

I mean, if that's okay.

Super producer.

Let's get down in business.

Any work?

So far, I'm looking into the
history of between the riots

and this area.

I think there may be a way
to declare this location

a historical and
national landmark.

But I thought you
can only do that

if something
historical happened.

In some cases,
but not necessarily.

I have a friend of mine
in Washington, D.C.

who was looking into
the national records,

and Ms. George is looking
into the local ones.

The jet they amassed
is significant,

their loan should have been
cut off a long time ago.

Well, Ms. Georgia did say that

that dad was a long time
member and customer.

I understand that, but,

no one would have loaned
them that amount of money

with the current market
and a lack of collateral.

Maybe they thought
he could pull it off.

I guess he didn't.

Did you find out anything
about this, Mr. Ellis character?

Other than him being a snake?

No, not yet.

It seems like he and his
company are in the up-and-up,

but I'm still
researching a few things.

Something about
him buying the debt

just doesn't seem right to me.

Do you think we could
pull this off in time?

The all of us
working together,

anything is possible.

What's up, bro?

What's up man.

Hey,

I guess the day went well.

- Yeah.
- You want some tea.

No, I'm good, sis.

So, did she say
she would help us?

What's this?

She told me to call
her business manager.

She said he can handle
that type of stuff.

So is that a yes or
a no on the doll?

Did you even
discuss it with her?

Yeah.

We talked and stuff.

About the doll?

Yeah, I mean kinda, but look,

call that number 'cause
he should be able to help.

So what was the purpose of
you going to dinner with her?

She wanted me to
produce her new single.

She says that's gonna be
released with the doll.

Unbelievable.

So you producing
her new single

is more important than
our family legacy?

My legacy,

is to be the best
producer there ever was.

Now look, I told both of y'all,

I was gonna help,

so I need both of y'all
to get off my back.

Oscar,

my favorite patient.

How you feeling?

Hey, doctor.

I'm feeling good.

And I'm getting cabin
fever up in here.

I need to get back to my store.

I know you do.

Listen,

your test results came back
normal for the fast few days.

I'm go on ahead and release you,

but you gotta stay
home and rest.

That means no store
for a few days.

Maybe a few more weeks.

What?

I have a business to run.

I can't be in a way that long.

I understand Oscar, but
your body has to rest.

Okay, either you follow
my orders out there,

or I ma keep you in here.

All right, all right doctor,

I'll follow you instructions.

Okay.

When do I get to go home?

So, what I'm gonna do now is,

I'm gonna go ahead and
write your prescriptions,

and go ahead and get your
discharge papers, ready?

All right.

Mrs. Franklin, I need
you to keep them at home

and keep them away from that
store for me, okay, ma'am?

Yes, sir.

All right, I don't
wanna see you back in here

for quite some time, okay?

Get some rest,

and I'll see you soon.

And you heard
what he said now,

straight home.

Well, hello.

What's going on,

Kenny?
How are you?

I'm good.

Awesome.

I'm trying to get
my priorities together

and you told me to
take a vacation so.

Noah,

this is not a vacation.

When I say vacation,

I mean like a sand,
beach, the sun,

not another studio.

I mean, that's where I
feel most of the peace.

I understand,
I understand, but

telling me to come by, I'm here.

What's up?

Cyndi want me to
produce a song for her,

I'm producing this
so she stopped me by.

Come through.

Yeah, she'd
become about today.

You know that child can sing.

Yeah.

That child can say, and I
think that's good for you.

Maybe it'll help you get
back on track with things.

Yeah, for sure,

especially with
everything going on.

What's going on?

I mean,

my dad is sick.

We're losing the house
and the toy store.

Noah,

if you needed help,
why you didn't call me?

I don't know I just feel like
being my dad's youngest son,

I should have just been
there for my family.

Yeah, I understand.

But let me tell you,

at the end of the
day you work so hard,

you have to live life,

and don't forget that and
forget that family comes first.

All right, so what
should I do, Kenny?

Because I feel like all I
do is make people famous.

Noah,

what is your faith?

Are you serious right now?

Oh, are you serious?

I'm serious.

Noah, let me tell you,

the word says,

"Works

without faith is dead".

Now I need you to get up and
go out and get your faith,

that I know you
already got, okay?

- Yeah.
- And not Faith Evans.

I'm talking about the faith,

the size of a mustard seed.

I'm about to get out of here.

I gotta go, I have a
meeting in pia, but,

hit me up if you need me.

All right, Kenny.

All right, Noah.

- All right, man.
- Stop playing games.

Moms said dad's
being released today.

Well, hopefully we can
give her some good news

when we get home.

We got this.

Yeah, let's.

Yo,

did you hear that?

Oh my God, that was so amazing.

See,
Yeah.

I told you you
had the magic touch.

Oh man, no,

I can't take all the credit.

I mean, your voice,

it's amazing.

I thank you.

Thank you, I appreciate
that.

So, I mean, what's next?

So, what do we gotta do?

I mean, I just gotta
clean up the track,

and raise some
elements in the song,

Okay.

we should be good to go.

All right, all right.

That sounds good.

Well, I wanna release it
in a couple of days, so,

that gives you a
little time, but oh,

most important thing,

before you send it to
my business manager,

the final file, please,

please make sure
you are encrypted.

Lastly, I need is these hackers,

getting their hands on this hit.

Now, you know I'm
professional, right?

That is true.

Tusha,

All right, so then
I got you miss lady.

All right, all right.

Listen.

Ooh, look at that time.

All right, I've had to run,

- Okay.
- but as soon,

as you send it to me, text me.

I got you.

- All right?
- I got you.

You promise.

I got you.

All right.

Thank you, Mr. Noah.

You have a good day.
Super producer.

You too.

Enjoy your day.

Well, that was
a waste of time.

So they come in the ass
to protect their margin.

The store doesn't make
enough for customers old,

or new to flock to it.

If the store was in
that shopping mall,

there would be no problem.

Yeah, well, dad
didn't wanna sell.

Well, we all understand
the history behind it.

Ms. Georgia said
that guy, Mr. Ellis,

he offered to merge the store
with a toy store chain but,

dad said no.

Yeah, but that store has
been in the family for so long.

Dad would have said
no from the start.

There has to be another
option that we can explore.

Well, I'm still waiting
to hear back from my friend

in D.C. and Ms. Georgia.

- Dad.
- Hey dad.

Hey, ma.

Thanks son.

Come on, sit down.

Oh, no I,

I don't wanna sit down.

Where's Noah.

He's at the studio.

He should be coming home soon.
Any headway on a store?

Honey,

I gotta get you
out off your feet.

It's time to take
the medicine and,

we'll talk about the
store later on, okay.

Come on, come on.

Thanks, huh.

Georgia,

when you requested to see me,

I thought you wanted to
have a private meeting.

I did,

you,

me

and Dani.

Hi, Mr. Ellis,
long time no see.

Please have a seat.

Oh,

excuse me.

What?

So well,

what can I do for you?

Well, I had a
chance to look at

the paperwork that you
gave to Ms. Georgia,

and to my parents,

and I realized that
there's some things

that are not accurate with
the financial findings.

No,

I can assure you.

Everything is 100% accurate.

The estimated value of
their house in the store

are way more than their debt.

I fail to see your point.

The point is,

you can't take assets

that have more equity

than debt associated
with the principle.

And that is according to code.

12C, section 4-9, 18D.

That's it.

You know what?

I'm gonna have our
accountants look this over

because I'm sure that
this must be a mistake.

Well, in any case,

that makes the
deal null and void.

So my parents will not
be vacating their store,

or moving out of their house.

Ms. Georgia, we'll discuss

a financing options
for the store.

You know what?

I just thought about something,

you are right?

Your parents do have
enough equity in the home

to save the house,
but not the store.

We are working on funding,

and that shouldn't be a problem.

Judging by the
look on her face,

that doesn't seem likely.

Look, your only option,

is to give the store
to me willingly,

or vacation seven days.

But they had a
couple of weeks,

you can't speed up the process.

I'm sure that if you both
look over the paperwork,

you will see that the timeframe

was discretionary upon my parts.

Why are you doing this?

The store would
be a great addition

to the chain stores my
company has already acquired.

Look,

just be glad

you get to keep the house, okay.

Merry Christmas.

My God, I'm so sorry.

Noah,

Noah, did you,

did you see?

Somebody leaked the song?

I'm sure my team leaked the
song that you did for me,

it's been all over the radio,

haven't you?

No, I haven't heard it.

I've been trying
to finish the song.

I mean, well, what's going on?

Do people like it or
they're responding to it?

I mean, of course
people are gonna like it,

but I wanted to wait for
the release of the doll.

That would have
drove the single,

like crazy.

I know whoever leaked that,

got crazy pay.

Jeez.

What's,

what the matter?

You don't even seem like
you're listening to me.

Yeah, what for?

What?

It just I'm dealing with
a lot right now, all right.

My family gotta leave
the house for seven days,

and my siblings are
trying to find a way

to keep the store open.

Oh, well didn't I give you my,

my business managers number,

you did.
Yeah, you did,

and he said it was
nothing he could do.

Yo, was there any way you could

put it in a good word for me,

anyway?

Okay.

Okay, what?

I see.

I see what's going on here.

Damn Noah.

It's just so good
to be true, right?

It's another person,

out here trying to take
advantage of me, right?

I'm trying to take
advantage of you.

I'm trying to take
advantage of you

'cause I asked you
to help family?

I'm trying to take
advantage of you.

Oh, so today you wanna
ask me for a favor,

and then tomorrow what?

You want me to send you
some songs for free?

What do you think this is, Noah?

Yo, I don't even know
why you acting like this,

'cause you know
I'm not like this.

- I'm off this.
- All right.

Whatever, whatever.

You know why?

'Cause historically
what happens?

You asked for a favor one day,

and there's no ulterior
motive the next day.

I'm not doing it.

Wow.

I'm not doing it.

I'm not doing this.

Excuse me.

Yo,

you're tripping.

Bye Noah.

- You tripping.
- Good bye, Noah.

Really, Cyndi?

Yes.

Cyndi.

Cyndi.

Hey, mum.

Hey, Dad.

You always said that

one day this would

all belong to me.

Now on seven days,
it's gone out.

All belong to someone else.

Oscar, honey,

can I get you some coffee
or a snack or something?

No, baby, thank you so much.

Appreciate it.

Hey, mum.

How long has he been like that?

Since he came
back from the store.

We have to do something
to cheer him up.

I hate seeing him like that.

Maybe a little good
news will help.

Go.

Hey dad.

Hey, princess.

How are you doing, baby?

Is there anything I can
do to help cheer you up?

No.

Daddy's good.

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

You.

You who?

You are going to be a
grandpa in about six months.

I'm gonna be a grandpa?

Yeah.

Oh, my God,

oh, I'm sorry,

I didn't mean to.

Get some water or something,

my grand baby must be thirsty.

Some gin and tonic.

Dad, I'm okay.

It sounds just like when
I was pregnant with Michael,

he just worried
about everything.

Hey, hey,

Noah, hey,

you're gonna be an uncle.

I gonna be a grandpa.

That is great sis,
congratulations.

Thank you.

Or maybe the baby
should call me papa,

'cause grandpa, that's so old,

I don't want a baby
thinking that I'm old guy.

Noah, is everything all right?

I tried to get Cyndi to
release the Cyndi doll,

at the store, but,

she shot me down.

I don't know, I just felt
like I failed his family.

Let me have a little minute.

Would you some.

Let's go take
care of it, baby.

Come here, boy.

You,

sit down.

Sit down.

Let me tell you something.

Listen to me.

Don't you ever say that
you have failed our family.

If anyone has failed
I'm family, it is me.

It is your father.

Dad, I mean, you
don't care that

they're closing the store.

I mean, this is where all
our family history started.

Our family history started

the day that I met your mother,

all right.

That store is just a building,

and all good things
have to come to an end,

and you have to move forward
in this life and let go.

But it won't be
the same location.

It doesn't matter.

You see son, because,

if I am blessed,

I'll build a store else.

But the store is
not what matters.

Not in this life.

Oh no,

'cause you can't
take it with you.

You ever see a, you hoe,

behind a Hearst.

Huh?

No.

Let me tell you what matters?

You matter.

Your brother matters.

And your mother matters.

And your sister matters.

And that,

little bitty baby
that's on the way,

matters.

You got me?

You go on out
there in the street

and you represent yourself
as a Franklin man.

Now go on out there,

and do your thing.

Okay, let's
start with the CDs.

Pack those please.

Yes, ma'am.

Jesus.

We haven't done that in awhile.

No, we have not.

You know something.

I think that we need
to dance every day,

deal?

Deal.

Listen,

did I disappoint you?

Oh, no,

no.

And a lot of time here,

and,

and this is a lot of
the kid's life, but

no, you didn't disappoint me.

No, I did it,

I had to provide
for this family.

And you did an amazing job,

but these kids are
grown and gone, honey.

It is time.

Get back to us.

Oh, yeah.

Us.

Shut up.

Honey.

Old man, still got it, right?

Yeah, and love you always

for it.

Come on over here I wanna,

turn the security camera off.

Okay.

Okay, that
sounded really good.

All right.

So,

I,

I had to apologize to you

for the way I blew up
at you there the day.

I mean,

how was having somewhat
of a rough day and,

I didn't mean to take
it out on you, so,

I'm sorry.

It's all good.

Apology accepted.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

All right.

Well, I was thinking that

maybe we can

remix the song on
like a club beat,

what do you think?

- Yeah.
- I know this producer,

he has this movie deal going on,

and there's a potential that

we can put it in the
scene in a movie, like,

what do you think,
that's would be doop?

I'm down.

I'm gonna just call
my regular studio,

and it should be able to
book your appointment.

I probably use you probably
like right after the new year.

Regular studio,

what's wrong?

Like, Noah,

Noah, this is an opportunity
to get your track

on a soundtrack like,

this can help both of
our careers like crazy.

You know what's
so funny, Cyndi?

You want me to help you
further your career,

but I asked you for a
favor to help my family,

and you gave me your
business manager number.

Noah.

I,

don't do me like that.

I told, if I had,

I had nothing to do
with the toy launch,

like that, that wasn't
I couldn't do anything.

But you could
have did something.

All right, you got
the number one song

on the radio right
now because of me,

but you want me to help
you further your career?

Call my business manager,

she'll better help you
with an appointment.

Noah,

come on you know,

if there was something
that I could do,

I would do it.

Noah,

don't shut me out like this.

I'm not shutting you out.

I'm just trying to
immensely prepared and close

my family store, it has been
around since I was kids.

Look, you know what?

We all got our priorities.

My used to be about
being the best producer

that ever walked this earth.

Noah, you are.

But now it's about
being the best person,

to ever walk this earth.

Seriously.

All right.

I guess I'll head out then.

Cyndi,

merry Christmas.

Michael,

you have been reading,

and researching,

and working night and day.

Now, you're gonna
wear yourself out,

get yourself a rest here.

I'm just doing all I can

to make sure that we
didn't miss anything.

Well, if there was
anything to be found,

you'd have found it by now

I just never imagined the
store not being in our family.

It's home.

It's not home.

The family, that's home.

This house,

this house isn't even our home.

Is when we're all together,

wherever we are
that's home, honey.

Have you thought
about what you and dad

are gonna do after the store?

No, not as yet.

I put aside money.

So we're gonna be
good for awhile.

Maybe dad and I'll
start to travel.

I always wanted to to see Paris.

I should have been
here a little more.

At least helped you
a lot more often.

Son, son, son.

You can't chase your
pullet surprise from here.

You gotta get out and,

and bring the stories back and,

let us know what's
going on out there,

'cause I can't trust what they
put the television.

You always know what to say
to get me through the day.

That's what mothers are for.

Excuse me, ma.

I leave you.

Hello,

are you sure?

What are we going to
do without you guys?

Come on, it's
just as toy store.

It's not just a toy store.

I do not like big stores

for the customers get
lost in the shuffle.

All good things must
come to an end, Beth.

It doesn't have
to be like that.

Where are you gonna travel to?

Oh yes, I'm going to Florida,

and I'm going to sit on a beach.

Beaches, oh they're
very nice but,

how about Alaska or Iceland?

Hey you know the snow,

if you heard about
this thing called snow,

it's very cold.

You are such a big baby.

It's just, snow honey.

Look, if you make
the snow warmer,

I'm there with you.
Oh, God.

I'm there.

I'm there too.

Happy holidays.

Thank you.

Happy Kwanzaa, I'll
see you guys later.

Okay.

Mr. Ellis.

Mr. Ellis,

Mr. Ellis,

Mr. Ellis.

Mrs. Ellis.

Mr. Ellis.

What are you doing here?

Checking out your inventory.

Seeing if you have
anything worth any value.

Hey mom,

what is he doing here?

He's trying to
rattle your father,

but I don't think it's
gonna work.

Why did you come by?

I don't know,
Michael just told me

to get here as
soon as I could so.

What does that mean, Michael?

I don't know,

something's up thing's up.

Mr. Ellis,

did you find anything of value.

Eh,

I think we have a
bus map here for you,

there's a new metro station

at Crenshaw and Sloss.

So I came for a truce.

No, it's good.

It was my fault, all right.

I shouldn't have came
at you like that.

Apology accepted.

What's all this?

This is just a
little something

to say that I am so sorry
for the way I've been acting.

I mean,

it was wrong of me to be
out here expecting favors,

without being willing to
help do what I can, so.

So, I mean, I feel
like it's my fault

because I should have
made you feel obligated,

to help my family.

- No, I get it.
- Yeah.

Hi.

Hello?

I'm Michael,

the older,
Nice to see you.

More handsome brother.

Yeah, whatever man.

Finish
your make up later,

we need you inside.

All right, bro.

Hey, Ms. Georgia.

Hey, baby.

Dad.

Son.

What's going on Micheal?

Suddenly, you said
something is urgent.

This is what it is, what?

It is,

Dani, the envelopes, please.

This is exactly
why we rushed here.

Mr. Ellis,

can you come over here please?

Oh, Mum, dad,

this is Cyndi.

Cyndi this is my parents.

Hi, mum, nice to meet you.

- Hi, nice to meet you.
- Finally.

Thank you.

Dad,

Is that so soon?

Oh, come on.

Let me in.

Never too soon for that.

So what is this?

A family reunion.

How quite.

Listen,

I've been doing some
inventory and from what I see,

stuff here isn't worth much,

but I can't buy it
from you wholesale.

Just so you have a little
change in your pockets.

Mr. Ellis.

I really don't like you.

Mrs. Franklin,

I'm sorry to hear that.

Yo, can we kick him out now?

Let your brother handle this,

Michael.

Dad.

What's this.

I hope is not a nasty
letter 'cause you know,

I get enough of those already.

Son.

Come on, are you serious?

As serious as can be.

Now is the time for you to
read the letter Mr. Ellis.

Yes,

Mr. Ellis why don't you
read it out really loud?

Because there might be some hard

of hearing people up in here,

some senior citizens who can.

No, this is impossible.

And could be fraud.

Well, if you direct
your attention to the seal

at the bottom of the letter,

you'll see that that's
the seal of the mayor.

Well done, sir.

Allow me to sum it up for you.

Franklin Toys is now considered
a historical landmark

in this city.

Which means,

You can't find a store.

Boom.

- Yeah.
- Boom.

Boom.

No, I'm gonna have this
thoroughly researched,

'cause I believe it
could be made up.

But that just leaves
the issue of the debts.

Now see my company
purchased the debt

associated with the store.

So therefore it is
at our discretion,

as to when to recall
upon the payments.

Oh Bobo.

No, no, no, no, no.

Because you have to give
them at least 30 days

before you can collect
the money, honey.

Yo, what is so funny?

Yo, can we please
kick him out now?

Look, I just
find it funny that

you guys get to come up with
the money this whole time.

So as far as I'm concerned,

just stuck between a
rock and a hard place.

It's a striate

Nope, Nope.

You know what?

Watch and see.

Hey y'all it's your girl, Cyndi.

And guess where I am right now.

I am at the Franklin Toy
store on Hope Wild Street,

and I have a little something

for my loyal Cyndi fans.

You're ready?

So the Cyndi doll is
gonna be sold exclusively

right here at
Franklin Toy store.

And, because I love
y'all so, so much,

with the sale of each doll,

you're gonna get a copy
of my newest single

called "Holiday love"

produced by this
super cutie over here.

Come on over,

Noah Franklin.

Watsup yo.

So come on down
and get yours now,

before they're gone, gone.

Okay, okay.

Wow, that was good, Cyndi.

So, what exactly was
that supposed to do?

Oh my God, our

- Watch.
- social media is going crazy.

- What.
- See.

- Wow, look at that.
- Cyndi.

- Wow.
- Wow.

- That is great.
- Wow.

All of this means nothing,

okay.

I don't see that you guys
can make up the money needed

in that short amount of time.

And,

I like to call for
50,000, be paid tonights.

Or.

Or,

or I'll put a lien on the
store to the debt is paid.

- All right,
- Is that true?

what about the
historical designation?

What about all of that?

The landmark set is just
means he can't buy the store.

The debt owed is another story.

Is that true, huh?

Yes, Mary Anne.

They can recall the
debt at any time.

I'm sorry.
Collect the date at anytime.

Blah, blah, blah.

I can see all of that but,

does a check work.

Here you go.

Now I know what to pay for.

Kenny, you ain't
got to do that.

Kenny, oh, my goodness.

Listen, I promise
I ma pay you back.

You ain't got to pay me back

that show money.

What money?

This child,

her single,

is the number one
most downloaded,

- What?
- single in history.

What?

- The one we just did.
- Oh, my God.

- The one one you just did.
- Good for you.

How about that.

But you know what?

You know what?

I got something to say.

And you know they say,

this is the season
to be Charlie.

So I'm gonna need you to,

♪ Fala la la la

♪ La la la la.

Come on, get out.

Come on, get your check.

Get your check and you go.

Bye.

- Oh, my goodness.
- Bye bye.

- What?
- Oh, wow.

Okay, set up
the table at the front,

for you to do the signing,
Yes.

- Please, thank you.
- Yes, mum.

And you
take care of crap

- Thank you.
- And do please.

- Oh, thanks.
- Hey,

hey, y'all.

Hey.

Let me
see what is there.

This whole historical
designation thing

that we got from the city,

we always knew about it.

We always knew that we were

historically designated.

This is the only family owned
business in this community,

to survive the riots
in 1965 and the,

earthquake in 71,

the riots in 92, the
earthquake in 94.

And we are the only
business on this block

to have

a mirror

of nipsey on one side,

and on the other side we
have a beautiful mirror.

So Colby,

no chichi

I wanna thank

each one of you,

on behalf of mama,

I mean, which is,

Georgia,

Dani,

Cyndi and,

Noah,

and Kenny, and

Michael.T.

Franklin.

We called you.

We named them from Mike Tyson.

Mama didn't wanna do it.

She said, "He's so huddle."

But he came out fighting.

Merry Christmas,
honey.

Did Santa get you everything
you wanted for Christmas.

Oh yes, he did.

And a whole lot more.

Better come on inside,

it's gonna get cold out here.

Get your coat.

I'll be right in.

32,

4962,

89,

and right now.

Right now.
