All language subtitles for Bel-Air.S03E08.WEB.x264-TORRENTGALAXY.srt - eng(2)

Previously on "Bel Air"...

Your uncle's client,
Omar Campbell,

is shutting down
peaceful protests.

I just don't want you caught
up in what we're about to do.

Go home.

You said you had connections.

I need you to do your job,
or I'll find a lawyer who can.

Angela, you are
a guest in my house.

You can either kindly sit down,
or I can kick you out myself.

We're leaving.

Everything we're doing
is in preparation

for our culminating event--
Investor Day.

Get in front of the moneymakers

that can take your businesses
to the next level.

Tell me this is not
what I think this is.

[tense music]

Mom, this is Eli.

You know there's no boys
allowed in the room.

Eli's nonbinary,
and he uses he/they pronouns.

How does it feel
to be so in demand?

I just signed
with this big agency,

and I'm excited
to see what's next.

Your sister's
kind of blowing up.

If you walk away,

all your current clients
come back in-house to us.

Staking your entire firm's
future on Omar Campbell,

it's a huge mistake.

That was not
a part of the plan.

The plan's changed.

*

[laughter]
- Oh, wait.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

So she wasn't a real nurse.

No, she was just
some thirsty fan.

She stole the uniforms,
the key cards, everything.

I was like, I don't remember
requesting a sponge bath.

Luckily, the hospital
caught her just in time.

Oh, the price of fame.

But, look, groupies aside,

glad to have you
feeling better, man.

Yeah, man, you had us
worried about you for a second.

Thanks.
Yeah, I'm not 100% yet, but...

getting stronger.

And in the meantime, you two
launched a whole-ass business.

[scoffs]
A whole-ass business.

And Investors Day is tomorrow.

We got a big presentation,
right, Carlton?

We've been practicing
so much

that I'm, like, dreaming
about it at this point.

I'm proud of you guys,

because you know
I'm all about building a brand.

Wait, hold on, Hilary.

Didn't you sign with,
like, a big agent recently?

Yeah, I mean, I know
you got something going.

You were totally
about to blow up.

- Yeah.
- What happened to that?

I...
I haven't really had the time

to think about career stuff.

Because she's been
taking care of me--

ordering meds,
talking to doctors,

coordinating appointments.

[sighs]

Never left my side.

But we're not here
to talk about that.

Right.
[laughs]

Carlton, Will...
[exhales deeply]

I'd love if you'd both be
groomsmen in our wedding.

- Oh.
- Wow.

- Wow. What?
- Groomsmen.

Yeah, having Hilary's fam
standing with me,

it'd mean a lot.
- To both of us.

[chuckles]
Well, I mean,

my body was made
to be in a tuxedo.

Yeah, you know,
we are about to be CEOs

of a Fortune 500 company,
so, like, scheduling-wise--

Oh, my gosh!

Why do y'all have
to be so extra?

Just say yes.

- Yes, Hil.
- Yeah, man, of course.

- For sure.
- [squeals]

[laughter]
- Thank you.

For sure.
[both laugh]

Oh, my God. Wow.

♪ Thinking nobody like you

Now, look, I'm not gonna lie,
Aunt Viv.

I'm super excited.

I've never been a part
of a wedding before.

Oh, you're gonna love it.

We're gonna have so much fun.

Oh, hey, babe, you just
missed Hilary and LaMarcus.

Sorry, I've been
on the phone all morning

dealing with this arson attack
at Campbell Square.

It's just so awful
that someone would do that.

Are there any suspects?
- No, not yet.

But Fred Wilkes
is getting involved,

so that should lead
to some answers.

Ooh, the DA.
Bringing in the big guns.

Omar's convinced
that Yolonda Porter

is somehow behind it all.

Wait, Yolonda Porter?

I feel like Will might know
something about that.

Will? Why might Will know
something about that?

I don't.

Well, I just figured
since you went to that meeting

at Jazz's store that--
I don't know--

What--what meeting?
[doorbell rings]

That meeting.
Yeah, yeah.

I went to go drop off
some Blackccess gear,

and they were having
a community meeting.

So I stayed to see what
people were talking about.

That's all.

Omar and DA Wilkes
have arrived.

Great.

Uh, Will, join us.
- Me?

I was just about to get
to these dishes.

[chuckles]
- That can wait.

You might have
some useful information.

Okay.

[Easy McCoy's "Déjà Vu"]

♪ Oh, yeah

*

♪ Oh, yeah, oh, yeah

About how many people
attended this meeting?

I don't know.
Uh... a dozen, give or take.

Anyone seem
particularly angry?

Any talk
of destroying property?

And what exactly did
Yolonda Porter say?

Because you don't have to set
a fire to be culpable.

Even if she suggested
illegal action, right?

No, no, no.
It was nothing like that.

It was just people
voicing their concerns

about changes
in the neighborhood.

You know, Will spent
the summer starting a business

to help a lot of people
in that community.

I'm really proud
of the work he's doing.

Yolonda Porter has
an extremist agenda.

And her community has been
vandalizing my site for months.

Listen, I know
you're hungry for an arrest,

but there's nothing illegal
about a peaceful gathering.

Appreciate your help, Will.

If you remember anything, uh,

please let your uncle know.

Yeah, absolutely.

Now, can I, uh...
- Yeah.

The grocery store
from across the street--

they may have caught something

on one
of their security cameras.

Thank you.

I'll send someone by
to get the footage.

Appreciate it, Fred.

Thanks for coming.
[chuckles]

Figured I'd just come by
with my dad.

What'd you want to show me?

Um, okay,

so it is me and Amira's
three-monthiversary,

and...

I got her...

[chuckles]
This.

What do you think?

[chuckles]

What? Is--is--is it
too much, not enough?

I mean...

do you think you might be
moving a little fast?

[box snaps closed,
clatters on table]

I just want everyone to stop
worrying about our relationship

and just support us for once.

You know I do.

Okay, well, I thought
you and Amira were friends.

So what is it?

I just want
what's best for you.

Then act like it.

You of all people know how hard

relationships have been for me.

When was the last time
you've see me this happy, Lis?

[sighs]

You're right.

[soft music]

*

And it is beautiful.

She's gonna love it.

Yeah.

I think she will.

*

If any of these die,
the country club has an arcade.

We got a pool
and a sunny day.

What else do we need?
- [chuckles] Right.

Oh. Hey, Phil.

Hello, Eli.

I prefer Mr. Banks, though.

Ashley...

can you help me with something
over here, please?

Don't you think that skirt's
a little short?

No.

Well, I do.

I don't feel comfortable

with you wearing that
out of the house.

I don't dress
for your comfort.

What?

Oh, I'm just looking to see
who you're talking to,

'cause I know for sure
it's not me.

Okay, but you don't police
what Will and Carlton wear.

Listen, I will shut this
whole day down if I have to.

[sighs]

So, Eli, you've been
hanging out here a lot.

Uh, yeah, yeah.
Me and Ashley have a good time.

- How good?
- Uh...

Eli, do you mind
loading the car?

You got it.

See you, Mr. Banks.

- I don't like how slick he is.
- Mm-hmm.

And when did Ashley get
so mouthy?

Did you buy her
that little skirt?

Okay, relax.
Breathe.

You went through the same thing
with Hilary, remember?

I thought she was into girls.
What is it, boys now?

And what do we know
about this kid?

I know that he's got
a boyfriend.

Mm-hmm, and that they like
hanging out with each other.

Look, I'll be
with them all day.

I got this, hmm?
- [sighs]

Happy now?

You look beautiful, baby.

And there was this guy there.
His name was Terrell.

He just went rogue.
He started burning shit.

There was nothing I could do.

Well, except maybe just not
being there in the first place.

Look, Carlton,
when we started Blackccess,

it wasn't just
about the name, right?

It was about helping people,

and I'm still down
with that message.

When did our message become
about burning shit down, Will?

Do you ever think
before you act?

At least I'm not
being a hypocrite!

At least I'm not trying

everything we've been building
all summer!

For some cause

Well, at least
I picked a side.

Oh, my God, Will.

You're lying to yourself
if you don't think

this isn't
about something else.

- What are you talking about?
- We started Blackccess

because we both had something
to prove, right?

That--that your dad was wrong,

that basketball wasn't
all that you were,

and that I'm not
just some druggie rich kid

who ruined his life.

Aunt Viv, hey.

I didn't know
you were here today.

I was hoping
I'd see you here.

Yeah, Ashley wanted
to hang out with a friend.

Oh, reminds me
when I used to watch you

and Carlton just run
all over this place.

Mm, I miss those days.
[cell phone chimes]

And now I'm late.
- Oh.

Ooh. Um, new purse?

- No, little brother duty.
- Ah.

I just dropped Leo off
at the kids' club,

and I left the diaper bag
in my car.

Oh, aren't you a good sister?

I mean, I do love him,
but he is a lot.

He's not sleeping.
He won't take the bottle.

He's got all these allergies.
- His mother's not helping?

I mean, one minute,
Angela wants him,

and then the next,
she's mad and distant.

Sometimes I come home,

and she's just asleep
while he's crying.

But, you know, my dad's
always at work, so...

Well, Will told me
how overwhelmed you've been.

[sighs]

Yeah.

Look, you know,
I can always help.

You can always drop Leo
off at the house sometime.

Sometimes everything
just feels hard--

work, swim practice...

friends, life.

Well, what can I do?

Think maybe you could talk
to my dad?

Sometimes he feels
like a brick wall.

Lisa, shift change in ten.

I got to get changed
for work.

But you know what, if this is
too much, I totally understand.

Thanks for listening.
It means a lot.

I love you.

I love you too.

[light hip-hop music]

Seven years ago was
my last time in the Octagon.

Broke two bones in my foot
and a rib.

Made 2 million.
- Damn.

Ten days later, I took
a meeting with a tech VC

who purchased
my first business idea.

I made 3 million
in ten minutes.

- [exhales sharply]
- No broken bones.

- Now I see why you retired.
- Come on, now.

[laughter]
That was just the beginning.

I started investing in stocks
and my other business ideas.

Then I became the VC.

Last I checked, your net
worth is worth 1.2 billion.

Thank you, Dante.

But last time I checked,
it was a little more than that.

- GOAT status.
- Boom.

Now, Investor Day
is tomorrow,

and I know we all got
some nerves.

We're gonna release that.

So we're gonna do
a little exercise

with the help of my friend,
WWE Superstar Bianca Belair.

How y'all doing?
all: Good.

I know a lot of y'all
may know me

as the first Black woman
to headline WrestleMania.

But I started out
as a little kid

practicing diving chops
off my mom's sofa in Knoxville.

It took a lot of hard work,
but now I'm the EST of WWE.

- EST?
- Yep.

The strongest, the fastest,
the roughest, the toughest,

the quickest,
the greatest, the best.

[laughter]

And all of you guys can be
the EST in your life too.

All right, come on, y'all.
Partner up.

Let's get it rolling.

- Oh, my God, this is so cool.
- Hey, do you want to pair up?

- Do you want to?
- Oh, sorry, I'm with her.

Hey.

[indistinct chatter]

[tense music]

Pool day.

[camera shutter clicks]
[both laugh]

Noah's been watching
all my stories.

- Really?
- Yeah.

This one's gonna make him
real jelly.

Thought we were gonna be
something special.

What happened?

I was just going through
something with my parents,

and Noah just
kind of checked out,

like he only wanted the fun me.

[scoffs]
Yeah.

That was me and Olivia all day.

I mean, like, I guess my life
was too much drama for her.

Mm.

Here, one more.

Summer vibes.
- And good times.

[camera shutter clicks]
[both laugh]

I just can't believe
that there are not

more people here today, huh?

But there's definitely enough
lounge chairs

for everyone to have their own.

- Mom.
- It's all good.

All good.
Got ya.

What is going on
with you and Daddy?

Like, you're being
so extra with Eli.

It's embarrassing.

Listen, it's just that
you're getting older.

And we're doing
our best, but...

there's just a lot
to wrap our heads around, okay?

Well, you didn't have
a problem with me and Olivia.

You even let her
stay the night.

The rules for you
are more complicated,

trying to figure out
who's more than a friend,

who's not.

Well, you don't have
to worry, okay?

Me and Eli are just friends.

Can you just trust me?
- Of course.

[chair scraping]

[funky music]

*

Mm-hmm.

All right, y'all,
like Quentin said,

tomorrow is all about
letting go of your nerves

so that you can shine.

Now, this move is
gonna teach you

how to surrender your fear.

So you ready to try it?

- Yeah.
- Let's do it.

Put your hand right here.
Great.

Now, when I twist,
you're gonna go with me, okay?

- Okay.
- All right, ready?

- Yeah.
- One, two.

[crowd gasps]
- Oh!

Nice!
Good job.

Now, you see how my partner--

she went with the flow
and she didn't resist?

That's how you gonna do it.

- You ready?
- Yeah.

Let's do it.

All right, man, I'ma go gentle
on you, all right?

- Mm-hmm.
- I know you got a small frame.

So I don't want to hurt--
[groans]

- Banks statement.
- Yo, what the fuck?

Oh, you know, can't beat
the element of surprise.

All I need's a gas can
and a little match.

- That's how it is?
- Mm-hmm.

Come on. Let's go.
Come on.

Hit me, then, Slow S.

Shut up, Carlton.

[crowd muttering]

[both grunting]

Carlton, Will.
[Will and Carlton shouting]

Yo, yo!
Yo, yo. Hey, chill, man.

Is everything all right?

both: Yeah.
- Of course.

Because the last place
we want to find out

that it's not is in front of
the investors tomorrow.

- Yeah.
- Blackccess all the way.

Yeah, of course.

[dramatic hip-hop music]

*

All right,
let's get back at it.

I need everyone to lock in
and focus.

*

I'm thrilled
you called, Hilary.

Thank you so much
for your patience.

I'm so excited
to jump back into work.

That's fab news.

And thanks
for joining us, LaMarcus.

I'm so glad
your surgery was successful.

Everyone at the agency
was praying.

I appreciate that.

You two have
the perfect story--

overcoming adversity,
your recovery,

your undying love and support,

leading to the wedding
of the year.

We're calling it
Hilary's Happily Ever After--

a 360 social media campaign

documenting the journey
from the ER to the altar.

I was expecting
more cooking-related projects.

I understand,

but you've both had
to press pause on your careers

because of the injury.

And now you're gonna
spend the next year

planning the wedding.

Why not capitalize
on all that work?

#LaMilary.

What about capitalizing
on the things

that I asked for,

like getting
my own cookware line?

Or publishing a cookbook
of your family recipes.

And we'll get to all of that.

I just hate to see you miss out

on all the doors
this opportunity could open.

But I hired you
to open doors,

not just to do what's easy.

I'm sure you'll be able
to earn your 10%.

[soft dramatic music]

*

Mm-hmm.
I'll let the team know.

Thanks.

*

The fire damaged a trailer,

but it hasn't changed
our completion date.

I'm prepared to talk timeline
and deliverables.

We invested
in Campbell Square

because of your passion, Omar.

It was a noble mission,

which is why we wanted to put
our resources behind it.

And Omar's mission
remains intact--

creating jobs
and financial security

for long-term
community empowerment.

We've had protests
at our jobs, our houses.

And these press reports,
it's all been too much.

And this woman running
for city council?

I can handle Yolonda Porter.

That's what you said
last time.

But now she's filing
zoning appeals,

threatening lawsuits.

She's steamrolling
all over you.

We've had to maneuver
delicately.

The people in South LA
need to know that this project

is in their best interest.

There's a legacy, a history.

There's value
in protecting that.

But it's also meant delays

that have already cost us
more than we expected.

We need to renegotiate
the terms.

"Renegotiate"?

[papers shuffling]

Our new proposal.

Have a look.
Get back to us.

And...

if this doesn't work for us?

We'll cut our losses
and move on.

[dramatic hip-hop music]

Right.

*

[knock at door]

Vivian. This is a surprise.

- Fred--uh, DA Wilkes now.
- Fred is fine.

- You got a minute?
- Of course.

What's going on?
- Well, I wanted to check in.

I'm...

I'm just concerned about Lisa.

You know,
I always promised Gayle

that I'd be there for her.

And she seems to be under
a lot of pressure at home.

Well, newborn in the house

always shakes things up
for a while.

Right.

Um, it's more
about the way Lisa

talks about Angela.

I mean...

sleeping a lot, not tending
to the baby, mood swings.

Are you here to help Lisa
or to criticize Angela?

You've had issues with her
from day one.

Look,
that's not why I'm here.

I'm just trying to help.

Look, I know the signs
of postpartum depression.

I mean, I've dealt
with it myself.

I can take care
of my family, Viv.

You just take care of yours.

[tense music]

What's that supposed to mean?

It means...

I need to get back to work.

*

[sighs]

[cell phone clicking]

[sighs]

Bro. Come on, man.
The clock is ticking.

Where you been at?

You heard Quentin.
It's time to lock in.

Yo, chill out, okay?

I needed to clear my head.
I went on a walk with Amira.

[scoffs] Man, is your focus
right here or with her?

Uh, it's in a lot
of places, actually.

Did you know
the Campbell Square investors

threatened to back out?

Wait, what?

- Yeah.
- Oh, fuck.

Looks like
your little midnight mission

was the final nail
in the coffin.

I got to talk to Uncle Phil.

Uh, hey, after we get
through Investor Day.

All right?

Like I said,
the walk cleared my head.

I didn't bust my ass all summer
just for this to die

at the finish line
because you fucked up.

I need us
to crush this pitch, okay?

Okay, so we practice tonight

so we walk out tomorrow
with a win.

And then you come clean
with my dad.

Is it too soon
to forget our worries

and go back to Punta Mita?

[chuckles]
Just say the word.

[chuckles]

- How'd it go with Fred?
- [groans]

I swear I went there with
the best of intentions, and...

all he saw were criticisms.

And maybe I said too much.

You never could hide
your loyalty to Gayle.

Lisa's trying her best

to step out of her comfort zone
and ask for help.

I just want to be there for her
when she needs me.

Well, it's got to be hard
for Fred too, right?

Raising a teenage daughter,

new baby, stressful job.

[sighs] Maybe he's just doing
the best he can.

[groans softly]
- Same as you.

These investors
want to renegotiate.

I didn't start my own practice

to throw my weight behind
projects I don't believe in.

Hey, then don't.

I also have a whole firm
of nervous lawyers

without a lot of work
right now.

I know losing
all those clients with Erika

left you in a bad place.

But you will rebuild your firm

on integrity, not compromise.

[soft music]

*

Thanks for looking out
for me with Aunt Viv.

That was really sweet.

Yeah, hope everything
went well.

Just trying to do a better job
of checking in.

Yeah.
It was good to talk to her.

But, you know, you just
can't tell her everything.

[indistinct chatter]

Hey, guys, I got these.

It's cool.
- Cool. Thanks, Will.

What's going on, Lis?

I don't want to distract you
before your big pitch.

Hey. It's fine.

Look, if you're going
through something,

I want you to tell me,
all right?

Okay.

Um...

when we were hanging out at
your house the other night...

Mm-hmm.

I found cocaine
in Amira's purse.

- Wait, seriously?
- Yeah.

And she swore to me
that she wasn't using,

and I really do
want to believe her,

but if she's not sober,
she needs help.

And it just feels
like I'm reliving

Carlton all over again.

You think he knows?

I promised her
that I wouldn't say anything.

But that doesn't feel right.
- No.

And I just--I can't bring
myself to tell him because--

- It'll break his heart.
- Yeah.

- Fuck. Well, look...
- Hmm?

You don't have to be strong
for all of us, okay?

- Yeah.
- We'll talk to him together.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

*

A lot of comments here, Phil.
Seems excessive.

Their proposal has
a lot of loopholes.

Hmm.
So give me the Cliff notes.

No local contractors,

no rent caps
for family housing,

no minimum guarantee
for Black-owned retail spaces,

community gardens.

Too much resistance
is gonna feel

like a slap in the face.

Good.

You need to show them
that you're not desperate.

And you still need language

that protects
your original vision...

if that's
still important to you.

What's important to me
is the deal closing tonight

so I stop hemorrhaging
any more money.

This deal is gonna be
death by a million compromises.

And as your legal counsel,

I can't advise you
in good faith to sign it.

As your client,
I'm telling you,

it's fine as is.

[tense music]

[sighs]

Okay.

[groans]

*

Well, I guess
our time together

has come to an end, then, Omar.

[sighs, scoffs]

[knocks on desk]

I knew you weren't
ready for this.

*

Blackccess aims to be
the premier lifestyle brand

for those concerned
about the community.

And the fit and the function
of Black style--

Blackccess lifestyle--
- Hey, Will.

Big day for Carlton.
Uh, I wanted to wish him luck.

Where is he?
- Yeah, big day.

So maybe we should just let
Carlton focus on the pitch.

That's probably best.

How about we let Carlton
decide what's best for him?

You really want to talk
about what's best for Carlton?

What's that supposed to mean?

[scoffs]

Hello?
[scoffs]

- Nothing.
- Will.

There you go again...

avoiding and shit.

Look, we don't have
to be friends.

We don't have to be cool,
but I've been here before,

and you need help, Amira.

What are you talking--

You know
what I'm talking about.

- Does Carlton know?
- Not yet.

Is that a threat?

Look, I don't want to have
to be the one to tell him.

And neither does Lisa.

But we will if we have to
because we care about him.

And we thought you did too.

You just feel threatened

by how close
me and Carlton are,

trying to drive us apart
like everybody else.

You know what?
Maybe that's a good thing.

You know what?
Go ahead and tell him.

Who do you think
he's gonna believe, huh?

Who?

You...

or me?

Nah.

Um, someone new.

Mm.

Who is he?
[both laugh]

Uh...

"I've been holding back.
We can't pretend.

I want you to know
you're more than a friend."

Maybe your parents are being
so extra with me

because they can sense
how I'm feeling.

[indistinct chatter]

Oh, my God.
Where the hell have you been?

I, um, went for a walk.

Had to clear my mind.
- What?

Yo, yo. What's good, y'all?

We got a full house out there.

I'm about to start calling
y'all in one by one.

You've done the hard part.

Today, you're just letting
other people know about it.

Focus on the pitch.
Let everything else go.

Let's get this money.
- Yes, sir.

Man.

Amira said
she was gonna stop by.

Let's just, um...

let's run it again, come on.

Come on, man.
- Okay.

Okay, so, um, you know,

obviously, I start
with the whole spiel...

[tense music]

- Here you go, Lisa. Enjoy.
- Thank you.

Bye, guys.

Amira, hey.

I trusted you...

on some girl-code shit,

and then you go
and snitch to your boyfriend?

Whoa.
It's not like that.

I told Will because I was
worried about Carlton and you.

Yeah, well,
he just threatened

to tell Carlton everything.

And I can't lose him, Lisa.

Well...

Amira, if you are using, we do
need to get you some help.

I don't need
your fucking help, okay?

I thought that we were
friends for real.

You know what?

How could I expect
for you to stand up for me

when you can't even stand up
for your damn self?

What?
What is all this about?

[sighs]

You put your whole career
on hold to help me recover.

I don't want it staying on hold
to plan a wedding.

Okay.

It's been all about me.

But I want you to be free
to focus on you.

Will you marry me,
Hilary Banks?

I already said yes.

But will you say yes
to marrying me

in one week
at Martha's Vineyard?

A week?

Your doctors haven't even
cleared you to travel.

I don't care.

Life threw us a curveball.
I say we throw one right back.

No LaMilary, just you, me,
and the people we love most.

- Then I say, hell yeah!

What?
Y'all were in on this?

[laughter]

Welcome to Investor Day
for Young, Gifted, and Black.

Appreciate that.
Thank y'all.

I started this as a platform
for our young people

to jump-start
their business ideas,

to give them
the opportunity, exposure,

and resources
they need to be successful.

Black-owned companies attract
only 1% of VC funding,

despite African Americans
making up 14%

of the nation's population.

There's
a growing opportunity here,

and we need the investment
community to lean in.

I'm committed to empowering
diverse founders,

and I handpicked
everyone in this room

because I know
you believe the same.

So it's time to put your money
where your mouth is.

[laughter, applause]

- Thanks, man.
- Thank you.

[cell phone ringing]

[laughter]

[indistinct speech]

[cell phone chiming]

Oh, my God, dude, at least
turn your phone on silent.

Yo, what did you say
to Amira, Will?

Uh...

nothing.

Will, come on.

All right, look, it's not
nothing, but it can wait.

We got to stay focused on this.
- What?

No, I'm not getting
up on that stage

until you tell me what the fuck
is going on with Amira.

Okay, look, man...

[sighs]

Lisa found drugs
in Amira's purse.

Wait, what?

But Lisa flushed the drugs.
Amira never took them, okay?

I told her she had to tell you,
and things just--it got messy.

And coming
to the stage first,

a team that's special to me,

and I know you're gonna
feel the same.

Will Smith and Carlton Banks.

[applause]

All right, look, Carlton,
this is your future.

You said it yourself.

Don't blow this moment.

[tense music]

Bit of a slow start, huh?

Don't worry.
They'll be out in a minute.

[crowd muttering]

I don't know,
maybe they should just skip

to the next person.

[feedback whines]
- What up, y'all?

How you doing?

[chuckles]

It's a beautiful day.

[sighs]

Okay.

Um, you know, I know you all
are probably expecting

some fancy slideshow
presentation, right?

[chuckles] But we don't need
to do that, you know?

Uh, because...

I am the presentation.
How about that?

["The Message" playing]

I'm from West Philly,

and I grew up
learning how to improvise.

And I learned really fast
how limited my options were.

But I didn't grow up with...

♪ Rats in the front room,
roaches in the back ♪

♪ Junkies in the alley
with a baseball bat ♪

You know this song?
Here we go.

It's a party.
Hey.

♪ Don't push me
'cause I'm close to the edge ♪

♪ And I can't lie, y'all

♪ It's like
a jungle sometimes ♪

♪ It made me wonder
how I keep from going under ♪

Hey, it was like a jungle
sometimes coming from--

anybody from Philly
in the room?

No? No Philly?
Okay, it's all good.

You, man, I see you don't know
the words.

Just--you know, just try
to follow the message.

Actually, just get up.
- Uh, all right.

All right, everyone.
- Just get up one second.

I would like to apologize.

My business partner, Will,
can't quite control himself

once he is in front
of an audience.

So I'm here
to rescue your ears.

[chuckles]

You're welcome.

Ready?
- It's all good, man.

I was just warming them up
for you, all right?

So I gave you a little sample
about who I am.

So now we're gonna
tell you who we are.

We are here today
to represent...

both:
Blackccess.

- I'm Will Smith.
- And I'm Carlton Banks.

And like I said before,
I'm from West Philly.

I grew up
in a all-Black neighborhood.

And I'm from Bel-Air.
I did not.

[laughter]

And we're cousins,
believe it or not.

[chuckles]
But before I got to Bel-Air,

I didn't really realize
what was available to me.

My concept of access
was limited.

And I grew up
feeling like I had

all the access in the world.

But I don't take
for granted the doors

that have been opened for me.

So we want to marry
our unique perspectives

and bridge the gap
between them.

Not just with ideas

but with the tangible means
to grow.

Or getting
some of that paper.

[laughter]

We founded
a profitable business

that is sustainable, scalable,
and with a charitable component

but also carries
a strong message

about privilege, class, race,

and the complexities
of Black identity.

And you can do it all
while looking fly as hell.

We branded our message
and turned it into merch.

Sweats, tees, swag.

But it's not just a brand.
It's a lifestyle.

That's right.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Blackccess is now global.

We are in China, Australia.
- South Africa.

- Other parts of Africa.
- Peru!

Brazil.

And as of this moment
right here...

In this room.

[knock at door]

[door clicks]

[sighs]
Long day.

There's been a development
in the arson case.

Omar Campbell is no longer
my client nor my problem.

You'll still be interested
in this.

They identified
one of the suspects

from the security footage.

Who is it?

They just arrested
a young man

by the name
of Jalil Az-Zahir Ahmad.

It's Jazz.

He's in custody as we speak.

[dramatic music]

[sighs]

Amira, baby, um,
look, everything's good.

I just--I just need
to hear from you.

Can you call me back, please?

If you thought
Amira was using again,

why the fuck
didn't you tell me?

- We were planning to.
- Oh, what?

Did you think I wouldn't get up
on that stage if I knew, huh?

The timing wasn't exactly
convenient for you, huh, Will?

Guys, we just need
to find her, okay?

She's not answering
any of my calls,

and, oh, God,
she seemed really upset.

- Okay, where would she go?
- Wait. I forgot.

She shares her location
with me.

She--she's at the country club.

She's here.
She's--

*

[breathing heavily]

[echoing]
I want to love all of you.

[echoing] Promise me
you won't tell Carlton.

I trusted you.
I trusted you.

I thought we were friends.
I thought we were friends.

I've been here before.
You need help, Amira.

I don't need
your fucking help.

I do know you.

Lose him. Lose him.

I can't lose him, Lisa.
I can't lose him.

*

Wait.
Where is she?

Oh, my God, Carlton,
she's in the water!

Amira!
No!

- Call 911!
- Got it.

We're at the Beverly Hills
Country Club!

[somber music]

She's 17.

Come on, Amira.
We got you. Amira?

Oh, my God,
she's not breathing.

Hey, Carlton!
I found this.

Oh, shit,
it could be laced with fent.

I have Narcan in my kit.
Will, my bag.

- I got it. Here.
- Okay, where? Where?

Front pocket, front pocket,
front pocket.

Amira, it's time to wake up.

Amira?
- Please. Please, Amira.

Paramedics are almost there.

[crying]
Come on, baby, please.

Come on, Amira, please.
Amira, please.

Open your eyes.

Please, Amira.
Come on, come on, come on.

- [gasps]
- Oh, she's breathing!

She's breathing!
- [coughing]

Oh, thank God.

She's breathing.
She's breathing.

Oh, my God.
