00:00Previously on Bel Air.
00:13You have a gift, Viv.
00:15The world needs to see your talent again.
00:18Let's talk about the need of an autistic fellowship.
00:21This is Judge Roberts.
00:23I heard a lot about you, Will.
00:24Hey, I'd rather meet you out here at a fancy dinner party than at a courtroom.
00:27And I can do it my way, without you.
00:30If you leave, all the content you've created in this house belongs to me and you owe me a kill fee.
00:35This special election's gotten complicated since you jumped in.
00:38Our debate should decide which one of us continues to stand in the election.
00:43The loser bows out, throwing his full support behind the winner.
00:46Hey, Mom. Can we talk?
00:48About what, baby?
00:49About my dad.
00:51I need you to do me a favor.
00:52Look into my pops.
00:54Maybe you should try a different type of Will's dad, huh?
00:56If you knew Lou, you wouldn't say that.
00:58He's not someone Will needs in his life right now.
01:00Now, why'd you really leave Philly?
01:02I came here from Philly.
01:04For a better education.
01:10I trust you, Will.
01:11Come in.
01:27Good morning, Will.
01:30Morning.
01:31Your uncle wants you to hurry up.
01:33All right, I'm almost done.
01:34Yo, can you help me fix my time?
01:36Of course.
01:38All right.
01:40What have you done here?
01:45There.
01:47Thanks, G.
01:48Yo, uh, about what I asked for.
01:51It's in the works.
01:52But today, what we need to worry about is your uncle.
01:56This is important for him.
01:57You understand?
01:58Yeah.
01:59Okay, but how do we know what kind of political environment we're walking in on?
02:15Ashley, you were baptized at Lily of the Valley.
02:17It's one of the oldest black churches in Los Angeles.
02:20Besides, everyone there votes just like us.
02:22Okay, I see you, Will.
02:24Happy Sunday, y'all.
02:25Yeah, so handsome.
02:27You know, I wish I was speaking after your solo son, because you're going to bring the house down.
02:31Yeah, I'll try not to steal your thunder, Dad.
02:33Wait, um, solo as in Carlton singing?
02:38Yeah, you didn't know?
02:39Your cousin has an amazing voice.
02:41Carlton, you look so handsome.
02:43Thank you, Mom.
02:45You too, baby.
02:46You look great.
02:47Hold up, Will.
02:48We don't have time for that.
02:49Just, uh, grab an apple or something.
02:50Hillary will be here in a second, then we're leaving.
02:52Of course she's late, per usual.
02:55Viv, Reverend Lamont is eager to showcase our big, happy family.
02:59Folks, I don't want to see no drama.
03:00And by folks, you mean voters?
03:04Prepare yourselves.
03:05I'm here.
03:09Oh, okay.
03:10Hillary, you look gorgeous.
03:12Hey, Hillary, get off my neck, yo.
03:13What does that even mean?
03:14Thank you, Will.
03:15I'll tell you later.
03:16Okay, come on, everybody.
03:17We don't want to be in the last pew.
03:19Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up, hold up.
03:23You know, looking at you all makes me realize how blessed I really am.
03:26Not just today, but every day.
03:29Amen.
03:29God has been good to us.
03:31He sure has.
03:32Let's go give him proper thanks.
03:34And if we're worthy enough, hopefully he'll continue to shed his blessings.
03:38Hey, won't he do it?
03:39Oh, won't he?
03:40We will.
03:40Man, I cannot wait to hear you sing today.
04:03So wait, so what type of singer are you?
04:05Um, I don't know.
04:06It's just kind of like my own thing.
04:08But like, if you were like in Boyz II Men or whatever, like, would you be like, Wanya,
04:11like Nate, like...
04:13Oh, yo.
04:14What up, Reverend?
04:14Gentlemen, how are you?
04:15Good, good.
04:16Morning.
04:17Morning.
04:18Promise I won't do no stepping this time.
04:20Well, you never know where the spirit might lead you.
04:24See you guys in there.
04:25Looking forward to it, all right?
04:26Thank you, sir.
04:26Oh, okay, Ashley, here's your chance.
04:30Well, I was saying that the church needs to put more people who identify as LGBTQ plus
04:35in higher positions beyond the choir director.
04:37That's a thoughtful observation, Ashley, and a work in progress here.
04:41But, uh, keep it in mind, okay?
04:44Well...
04:45Hi, brother.
04:46Reverend Lamar.
04:47What's up, brother?
04:47I'm good.
04:48How are you?
04:48All as well.
04:49Listen, I was, uh, wondering if the church was going to mobilize us to turn out the boat shuttle
04:53service for this special election.
04:55Oh.
04:56You just, just curious?
04:58You know, I mean...
04:59Well, that question just came to you for no reason.
05:01Drop down.
05:02Well, I mean...
05:03I admit it would aid in my campaign, and, uh, you know, it wouldn't hurt to show that
05:06our people do turn out to vote whenever there's an election.
05:08All right.
05:09We'll see what we can do.
05:10All right.
05:11Appreciate it.
05:11Yes, sir.
05:12All right.
05:14Ivy?
05:16Oh, my God.
05:17Hillary?
05:19Yes!
05:20Mwah!
05:20Mwah!
05:21Look at you, girl.
05:22All grown up.
05:23It's been a minute since you came through here.
05:25I know.
05:26Girl, do you remember when you taught me how to use eyeliner in the bathroom?
05:29Oh, my God.
05:30I was such a bad influence.
05:32But you?
05:33You were a quick learner.
05:34That's true.
05:35So, speaking of influence, okay, Ms. 10 Million Followers?
05:3810.2, but it was counted.
05:41Okay.
05:42Well, you know I'm also in the business myself.
05:44Oh, I know.
05:45Love your stuff.
05:46Really?
05:47Mm-hmm.
05:47Okay.
05:47Well, we should definitely collab if you'd be open to that.
05:51Uh, excuse me, ladies.
05:53Hillary, we got a yes.
05:54Okay.
05:55Well, talk.
05:56Yes.
05:56Okay.
05:57Good to see you on here.
05:58Yeah.
05:58Sounds smart.
05:58Great.
05:59Hey.
06:00Hi.
06:00Will Smith.
06:01Nice to meet you.
06:01Ivy.
06:02Stop.
06:03Hey, Ivy.
06:04What's up?
06:04Hi.
06:05Hi.
06:06Hi.
06:06What is this, Ed?
06:07How you doing?
06:07No, how you doing?
06:08I'm actually in my office looking for me.
06:10I don't know.
06:11I don't know.
06:11I don't know.
06:11I don't know.
06:12I don't know.
06:12I don't know.
06:13I don't know.
06:13I don't know.
06:13See, talk for a second, man.
06:18Yeah, what's up, bro?
06:20Um, look, there's something that's been bothering me.
06:25Okay.
06:26So it's like this door, right?
06:28And it's like, I really want to open it, but everybody's been warning me not to.
06:31Yo, bro, what are we talking about?
06:33My dad, man.
06:35Man, I had the opportunity to know who he is and why he left me, but I don't know if it's
06:39a good idea.
06:40What do you think?
06:41Um, jeez, well, that's big.
06:43Uh, look, I'm sorry.
06:46I don't really know what to say, but you're in a place where people come to see signs and
06:52find answers.
06:53Look, I'm sorry.
06:54I have to go back and join the choir, but you're all right?
06:56Yeah.
06:57Hey, good luck, man.
06:58Thanks.
06:59Thanks.
06:59Thanks.
06:59Thanks.
06:59Thanks.
07:01Thanks.
07:03Thanks.
07:04Thanks.
07:05Thanks.
07:06Thanks.
07:07Thanks.
07:08Thanks.
07:09Thanks.
07:10Thanks.
07:10Thanks.
07:11Thanks.
07:12Steven tells me that the thirsty chef's been scrubbed from every corner of the internet.
07:15Yes.
07:16You and your campaign manager can relax.
07:18I'll be perfect till election day.
07:20Look, I know we've been hard on you, but you should know that we're very proud of how
07:25you handle that situation with Kylo and get out of that contract.
07:28Who knows?
07:29Maybe law school is still in your future.
07:30Maybe law school is still in your future.
07:31Maybe law school is still in your future.
07:32You and Viv, my mom used to tell me stories about how you used to sing off key at church.
07:36My mom used to tell me stories about how you used to sing off key at church.
07:39Is that true?
07:40No, because I'm like, but I can't honor.
07:52The Bible warns us not to have true masters.
07:58Because we cannot divide our devotion and our ambitions anymore
08:02that we can divide our hearts and our souls.
08:07I see a lot of you all out there trying to serve three and four different masters.
08:13You want money, fame, power, and...
08:16Come on now.
08:18Eternal life.
08:21Now hear me.
08:23Lily of the Valley Church, you better choose the one who loves you back.
08:27You better choose God.
08:34Now for the real reason you all come here and tolerate my words,
08:39this young man hasn't graced our church with his voice in a few years.
08:44I'm so glad to have Carlton Banks back here with us today to share his gift.
08:49Come on.
08:49Come on.
08:51He saw the best in me
09:13When everyone else around me
09:20Could only see the worst in me
09:22I wish I had a witness tonight
09:28He saw the best
09:31Come on, see.
09:34When everyone else around me
09:38Could only see the worst in me
09:41It's alright, baby.
09:44Okay, son, you got this.
09:46Breathe.
09:47Breathe, son.
09:48He saw the best in me
09:50Come on, Carlton.
09:55My God.
10:02I'm sorry.
10:03I-I-I-I can't.
10:05I-I'm sorry.
10:09Amen, amen, amen.
10:11I have somebody check in on him.
10:13Uh, Brother Johnson, could you, uh, play something for the church?
10:16You're the choir, please.
10:16I know.
10:25Hey.
10:26Hey.
10:27Is Carlton okay?
10:29There's not something wrong you're not telling me about, right?
10:32No.
10:33Why would you think we'd hide anything from you?
10:36I don't know.
10:36It just seems like you and Dad like to keep things for me.
10:39For my own good.
10:39Listen, your brother is fine.
10:44So, what's up, then?
10:46Yeah, I was just noticing that you've gone from promoting climate change to championing LGBTQ causes, and I was just checking in about that.
10:59Civil rights and climate change are both very vital social issues.
11:02I agree.
11:02And I haven't traded one for the other.
11:05I'm just advocating on multiple friends.
11:07I get that.
11:08In fact, I love it.
11:10I was just wondering if there's a reason why gay rights has become more important to you.
11:14Seriously?
11:14I mean, the real question is, why aren't the human rights of any social group at the top of everyone's concerns?
11:20Of course.
11:21I mean, that's why your father and I donated to marriage equality.
11:25Commendable.
11:26Although, those issues have advanced beyond that.
11:28Listen.
11:29Listen, I just want you to know that you can talk to me about these issues.
11:35Or other issues.
11:37I mean, whatever's on your mind.
11:39Okay?
11:40Hmm?
11:41Okay.
11:42Thanks.
11:44Good.
11:44Okay, I'll talk to you later.
12:04God, I felt so bad for Carlton up there.
12:06Yo, he was killing it, too.
12:07No.
12:08He can really sing.
12:09I can't believe he just got stage fright like that all of a sudden.
12:12Do you really think it's just nerves?
12:15Yeah.
12:15What else would it be?
12:19What do you know, cuz?
12:21I don't know nothing.
12:23I mean, you do know your brother likes to party, right?
12:27Yeah, this is Bel Air.
12:28Everyone likes to party.
12:29No, I'm talking about the hard stuff.
12:32Coke.
12:34Xanax.
12:34What?
12:35How bad is it?
12:37I've seen it get scary.
12:38Wait, you really don't know about this?
12:40No.
12:40I guess I just wasn't paying attention.
12:43Okay, this is bad.
12:47Okay, Will, you need to go talk to him and figure out what the deal is.
12:50I don't know if he wants to talk to me.
12:51Look, sometimes family means checking in with people whether they want that or not.
12:56You think I want my parents all up in my business all the time?
12:58Then why don't you go talk to him?
12:59Well, I haven't seen what you've seen, so it'd be different coming from me.
13:03Besides, you two are really getting along now, right?
13:05Yeah, we are, actually.
13:09Okay, I'll talk to him.
13:18Oh, you mean, like, right now?
13:19Yeah.
13:20I'll keep your plate warm for you.
13:24Just let him sit.
13:25Will.
13:26Yo, what's good?
13:35Hey, are you free right now?
13:37I'm in.
13:46See you.
13:48Are you all right?
13:48I'm fine.
13:51Are you sure?
13:52What do you want, Will?
13:53I honestly just want to know how you're doing.
13:55And what happened up there?
14:00I didn't eat anything this morning.
14:02The church was hot as hell, and I felt dizzy.
14:04And I didn't want anyone to see me fall out.
14:06Happy?
14:07Okay.
14:10Well, don't give me okay.
14:12What are you getting at, Will?
14:13Listen.
14:14Last time, you got stage fright.
14:16You were supposed to do that poem with Lisa, but instead you were doing coke in your closet.
14:20And today I could tell you were nervous.
14:21I wasn't nervous!
14:23You owe no shit, Will.
14:25I suffer from anxiety.
14:28And the sad part is, I have anxiety about telling people I have anxiety.
14:31And so then it just builds on itself, and it just keeps going, and it gets louder and louder.
14:35And, you know, I used the drugs to cope with it.
14:40You know, it's funny, because I didn't even use them today.
14:51I probably should have.
15:00I knew I was going to struggle.
15:02I saw all the red flags, but my dad was just so excited to have me sing.
15:07I just want to make my dad proud of me.
15:11The grades.
15:12The sports.
15:14Carlton.
15:16Your dad thinks the world of you.
15:18And if you need me, I'm there for you whenever, wherever.
15:21You're struggling, let me know.
15:24If you think you need them drugs, look at me.
15:29Let me know.
15:30No judgment.
15:31This shit won't be so heavy if you let me carry it with you.
15:34I really appreciate you saying that, Will.
15:38Really.
15:38I think right now I just need to be alone, though.
15:49I think right now I just need to be alone.
16:19Let me count my figures, you know I'm going to deliver.
16:21Every single time I'm a long-term winner.
16:24You couldn't survive in a stone-cold desert.
16:27Okay, good.
16:28Nobody's here.
16:32I kind of wish Kyla was here so I could slap his tall ass.
16:35Look, I brought you here to help me get my stuff and keep lookout.
16:38I don't need you fighting anybody.
16:40But I appreciate the sentiment.
16:41Hey, whatever it takes.
16:43You know, I've been looking for an opportunity to impress you.
16:45Oh.
16:46Well, I'll be impressed if you could get up there
16:48and get my sign for me.
16:49Not a problem.
16:54Hey, Will, I got a question, though.
16:55Yes?
16:57I just don't understand why we're in here
16:59stealing your own stuff.
17:01Like, can't you just borrow 50 G's from your dad
17:04and all this will be over with?
17:05Let's not go there, okay?
17:06I need to do this on my own.
17:08Oh, you got to do things on your own?
17:10Okay.
17:12Well, with a little help from you, but don't tell nobody, okay?
17:18But no, I do owe you one.
17:19Oh, well, in that case, I was thinking that maybe after here,
17:25we can go back to my crib.
17:26Now, I'm not the type of cook that you are,
17:28but I can show you my cooking skills,
17:30cook you a little ding-ding.
17:31Hmm, that could be cute.
17:32Or I'm staying at this bungalow at this five-star hotel.
17:37Maybe we could go there and order room service.
17:40Yeah.
17:42Okay.
17:50Three, two, one.
17:52Oh!
17:53Anything is possible!
17:56Hey, what up, G?
17:59Hey.
18:03A comprehensive report on your father.
18:13Is he alive?
18:14Yeah, very much so.
18:23Have you read this?
18:26Of course.
18:29Do I want to read this?
18:31It has to be up to you.
18:33Look.
18:36What I will say is
18:37that if you do pursue this,
18:40it won't only change your life or your father's.
18:45It will impact this entire family.
18:47It will impact this entire family.
19:11He's a great.
19:12If Wilkes wants to go for the jugular,
19:14we're ready for him.
19:15And I'll tell you something else.
19:16Female voters are going to abandon him
19:18when they find out
19:19that he cheated on his first wife
19:20while she was dying of lupus.
19:22Game over, fellas.
19:24All right.
19:24Is using this an option or the game plan?
19:28Well, I guess that's up to you, Phil.
19:29The winner of this debate takes all.
19:34You're awfully quiet, Jeffrey.
19:36It'll make for a lively debate.
19:38Two black men up on stage
19:39turn each other down.
19:40They'll love it.
19:41That's politics, Jeffrey.
19:42Right.
19:43Feels too personal.
19:44Well, I can't see it any other way.
19:45Let's say Wilkes wins the coin toss
19:47and he gets to start the debate.
19:49What happens when the first words out of his mouth
19:51are about the unsavory clients that you represented?
19:54Or he paints a picture that you and your family
19:55are too rich and out of touch.
19:57What do you do then?
19:58Hmm?
19:59If you're going to look at me like that, Jeffrey,
20:01you might as well speak your mind.
20:08You want this as bad as you've ever wanted anything.
20:10And?
20:11So let's just be honest about it
20:12so we can be in the best position to win.
20:15You think I'm pretending to be uncomfortable
20:18about airing out that man's personal life?
20:20Not pretending out, right?
20:21It's just that you prefer to feel like
20:23you've been talked into doing things across the line.
20:26You need to tell yourself you had no choice, right?
20:29I think I'm in the wrong room
20:30because I came here for debate prep.
20:32But it feels like I walked into a therapy session.
20:36Apologies.
20:36I said more than I should.
20:45Look, Phil, you worked hard for this.
20:48And you can make a huge difference if you win.
20:50But playing nice is not going to cut it, brother.
20:59All right.
21:01You're both giving me a lot to think about.
21:04Ask me some debate questions.
21:10That's what I'm talking about.
21:11Can we put the tea and carpets away?
21:14Let's talk politics.
21:15Oh, Mrs. Banks.
21:32You weren't expecting to see the likes of us, were you?
21:36No.
21:37Well, it's usually white men sitting in those chairs.
21:41And it's usually a 25-year-old sitting in yours.
21:44Yeah, well, I guess a lot of things changed
21:47in the art world since I left.
21:50And I suppose both changes represent progress.
21:54Indeed.
21:55Shall we begin?
21:56Yes, I'm ready.
21:57All right, then.
21:58Miss Vivian Banks, tell Janice and I
22:01why you deserve this fellowship.
22:04Well, my paintings aim to capture the beauty
22:08and strength of ordinary black folk in portraiture.
22:13I don't typically pose my subjects.
22:16Instead, I just try to depict them as they are.
22:19My intention...
22:20We know all that.
22:22But what we would like to know today is
22:25why did you stop painting for so long?
22:27You know, I'm supposed to tell you
22:37that the demands of marriage and motherhood
22:40swept the paintbrush out of my hand.
22:43But the truth is...
22:44I just got tired of all the battles
22:50I had to face being a black female artist
22:53once the painting was done.
22:55Because painting is the easy part.
22:58It's natural.
22:59It's my gift from God.
23:01But once the paint dries,
23:03you have to explain who you are.
23:06Then you have to explain your work to these men.
23:10And then you have to fight to get into an exhibit.
23:12Fight to be noticed.
23:13And I got tired of trying to twist
23:16whatever I was doing
23:17to fit into whatever was popular on the scene.
23:20And then you have to fight even harder
23:22just to get your work to be sold.
23:24It's just too much.
23:25Then what brought you back?
23:30My nephew.
23:32He moved in with us.
23:34And he is just...
23:37so free.
23:38and unapologetically himself
23:43got this fire to just take life head on.
23:47And I was like,
23:48I used to be like that.
23:50And I realized
23:52I can still be like that.
23:56That realization
23:58got me excited to create again.
24:01And once I got started,
24:03I just wanted to do it more and more.
24:05And so now my perspective
24:07after all of these years
24:10is that
24:11my work
24:13can resonate out in the world
24:14without me having to define it
24:16on anyone else's terms.
24:18So
24:19I just want to work
24:20and I just want to shine.
24:22And I know you have a lot
24:25to think about.
24:26Well,
24:27actually, we don't.
24:30We decided before you came in today
24:32that we want to offer you
24:33the fellowship, Vivian.
24:35And your answers
24:42just reinforced our decision.
24:45But we can't make it official
24:47until you take the time
24:48to think about
24:49what the demands
24:50of accepting this fellowship
24:52would mean for you.
24:53What demands do you mean?
24:56Travel,
24:57speaking engagements,
24:59press.
24:59We just want to be sure
25:01that anyone who accepts
25:02the fellowship
25:02can fulfill
25:03all of the expected requirements.
25:06So take 24 hours
25:07to think on it
25:07and then
25:08let us know your decision.
25:14Yes, you and Councilman Tompkins
25:15have been very supportive
25:16and I assure you...
25:17Yeah.
25:20I'm on the phone.
25:22Uh, agreed.
25:23Agreed.
25:23Our ideas on reform align.
25:26All right.
25:26Goodbye.
25:32What's wrong, nephew?
25:35I asked Jeffrey
25:37to find my father.
25:47So he did.
25:54He found him.
25:55He said that
25:56there could be
25:57some stuff in here
25:57that could
26:00cause some problems.
26:05Which is why
26:05I don't want to open it.
26:08I don't want to know.
26:10Because the truth is
26:11you've been more of a father
26:12to me than any man ever has.
26:15And I love you
26:16as if you were my own boy.
26:17And I'm thankful
26:29that you're in our lives
26:30and in this family.
26:39That's why I don't need this.
26:46You're your own man, Will.
26:47I'm proud of you
26:49and I'm always here for you.
26:51And I'm good.
26:53I'm good.
26:54I'm good.
26:55I'm good.
26:56Yo.
27:17You good?
27:21Yeah.
27:21I, um, I know I was talking to you in church about it,
27:28but, um, I decided not to try to learn more about my father.
27:33Oh, why not?
27:34I'm happy.
27:37And I just feel like whatever I learned would hurt that.
27:41Oof, that sad-ass tune came from happiness?
27:44OK.
27:44No, that's how I feel every time I think about my pops.
27:48Well, just so you know, you can still feel the same way even if your dad is part of your life.
27:55You, uh, you stopped me from using today.
28:05I was this close right after you left, but then I thought about what you said.
28:10So I'm letting you know.
28:15Yeah.
28:16I'm glad I got hope.
28:17Proud of you.
28:18And I think you should toss that stuff, though.
28:21Yeah.
28:22Um, I flushed it.
28:25I'm done with that stuff.
28:27No bullshit.
28:29Good.
28:31Well, um, I'm about to get something to eat if you're hungry.
28:39No, man, I was actually supposed to be linking with Lisa, but she's not answering her phone.
28:42Have you heard from her?
28:43No, we kind of eased up communication after her dad joining the campaign race against my dad.
28:48Isn't that weird for you guys?
28:50Oh, no, we keep that church in state.
28:51You know what I'm saying?
28:52Good.
28:53I'm happy for you.
28:56But don't worry about it.
28:58All right, her phone probably died.
28:59She's usually pretty bad with that.
29:01You're good.
29:03Okay.
29:16Don't even think about answering that.
29:17We're not done.
29:18Dad, am I telling you?
29:19You're wrong about him.
29:20I wish I was, but I know for a fact he's trouble.
29:22You have to stop seeing him.
29:23You keep saying that, but how could you know anything about him?
29:29Judge Robertson sent me this after he decided to back me in my campaign.
29:34Will was arrested after a fight in Philadelphia.
29:37There was a gun involved.
29:39Philip Banks reached out to Robertson for a favor to make it all go away, which he did, unfortunately.
29:47I can't believe he'd stoop this low to win the election.
29:50Stoop?
29:51A man who would circumvent the law like that doesn't deserve to be DA, Issa.
29:54You're assuming that it really happened and it's not just some lies Robertson told you?
29:58Well, go ask Will yourself if that's what it's gonna take.
30:02But once you know the truth, that better be the last time you speak with him.
30:07How did you get your hands on that?
30:26He gave it to me.
30:28Yeah, apparently even Will realizes he doesn't need Lou in his life right now.
30:33Or he was too scared to open it alone.
30:37Maybe instead of taking the answer from him, we should have helped him to confront the truth.
30:50Why, man? Hmm?
30:53I asked you not to and you just went behind my back?
31:01I told you.
31:02I was uncomfortable if you ask.
31:04So all of a sudden you don't trust me to do what's right?
31:06Is that it?
31:08What I'm saying is that the boy has the right to know.
31:12You work for me, Jeffrey.
31:13You work for me.
31:15How could you forget that?
31:17Oh, come on, man.
31:18We both know my real job is to protect you and your family.
31:22Sometimes those two things don't align.
31:23You mean protect them from me.
31:25I mean to protect them from your ambitions.
31:27Because once those start stirring up inside you, everything and everyone gets steamrolled.
31:30Bullshit. Bullshit.
31:31The only reason you sided with Lou is because you feel guilty about leaving your own boy behind.
31:48I've watched you attain every dream you ever wanted.
31:53And that finish line just keeps moving.
31:55Yeah, well, that's how my children get fed and how you get paid.
31:58Oh, come on, man!
31:59You keep going on about me being an employee, but because I love you and your family, I just can't keep my mouth shut, even if it is my job.
32:05By all means, don't stop now.
32:08All right?
32:09Your wife's dream drowned underneath yours.
32:11Your son didn't even get a chance to develop his dream because he's just an extension of yours.
32:16Your daughter, hey!
32:18You're treading on very dangerous territory, my friend.
32:21All right?
32:22Fred Wilkes.
32:23He's a flawed man, but he's also a good man.
32:25And you are going to destroy him because when push comes to shove, you always do what it takes.
32:29Even at the expense of the people who love you.
32:46Sadly, I can't trust you anymore.
32:51You're fired.
33:02If you fire me, it'll raise too many questions that you don't really want to answer.
33:09So let's just say I'm going on immediate leave of absence.
33:18You had a family emergency.
33:20You have to attend without delay.
33:22Right.
33:23Right.
33:24You have to attend without delay.
33:27You're laughter.
33:28You're really cloοΏ½ned while.
33:29All right.
33:34Prove me wrong, Phil.
33:37Because if you don't, your family's going to split under the pressure.
33:49Oh, my God.
34:19Hey.
34:31Hey.
34:32Everything all right?
34:34Yeah.
34:36I just wanted to let you know that Will came to see me earlier
34:40and said he didn't want to know anything about his father.
34:43You know, you've been talking about telling him the real story,
34:45so I just wanted to let you know.
34:48Just like that?
34:50Why?
34:52He just didn't want to know.
34:56Maybe it was Church.
34:58I don't know.
34:59Or maybe he knows that no good could come from it.
35:04I figured you should tell Vi.
35:06Oh, I'm not so sure the issue's settled.
35:09Well, I just had it out with Jeffrey over this,
35:11so I think it should be settled until Will unsettles it.
35:15It's his choice, clearly.
35:17Speaking of Jeffrey, what is this about,
35:20that he has a family emergency that he's got to attend to?
35:23Well, I'm not sure, actually.
35:26Well, you know Jeffrey.
35:28He's so vague about it.
35:29Oh, it could come at a worse time.
35:32Your D.A. race couldn't be crazy enough,
35:34and if I get this fellowship,
35:36we're gonna need someone to be looking out for the kids.
35:38Viv, whatever the kids get into, we can handle it.
35:44We always do.
35:45It won't be that simple.
35:47We're both busier than ever, and for once,
35:49I just can't drop everything to take care of it.
35:53You're saying I'm not doing my part?
35:55I'm saying that maybe I shouldn't accept this fellowship.
36:00I mean, they want me lecturing all over the world for a year,
36:05and we're gonna need somebody here to hold down the home front.
36:11I can do that.
36:13Let me do that.
36:14As D.A.?
36:16Phil, you are not superhuman.
36:19Excuse me?
36:21Viv.
36:22Hey.
36:25Look at where we started, and look at where we are.
36:30I can do this, and I don't want you to be worried
36:33or concerned about anything when it comes to this family,
36:36because this family is strong.
36:38And when things get rough, I'll be here to handle it.
36:41Anyway, this is all a moot point,
36:48unless I do well in the debate tonight.
36:53I should get going.
36:54I'll see you there.
36:56Absolutely.
37:00Phil.
37:06Look, I know I've been busy,
37:09and I haven't been around as much.
37:15But I am so proud of you.
37:18I love you.
37:24Go out there and win this thing, hmm?
37:28I will.
37:30And I love you, too.
37:39I will be busy.
37:40I love you too.
37:42Let me
37:46do myζ΄» seah.
37:50After ...
37:53You were in a
38:08Ooh, girl, cause you may have, you may leave, girl,
38:18you may leave, oh, light it up, light it up,
38:24honey, I'll let you know.
38:27Hello?
38:28Hi, Janice.
38:29This is Vivian Banks.
38:31Vivian?
38:32I didn't expect to hear from you until tomorrow.
38:35Yeah, well, I've been doing a lot of thinking
38:38since our meeting today, especially the part
38:40where you went over the guidelines for everything.
38:45Did you have a question?
38:46No, I, listen, it's like this.
38:52My husband is in the middle of a campaign
38:54running for district attorney, and I
38:55think he has a real shot of winning.
38:58And then my nephew just moved in with us,
39:01which has been an adjustment to say the least.
39:03Then my son, who's had anxiety issues in the past,
39:06seems like he's starting to struggle with that again.
39:08Oh, and then I have a daughter walking around hiding secrets
39:11from me because she thinks I can't handle it.
39:13And I got another daughter who's sharing all
39:15her business on social media.
39:16So when I put all that together in terms
39:18of what I should do instead of what I can do,
39:22I really just don't think this is the right time for me.
39:24Vivian, as I told you, our policy
39:27is to give artists 24 hours to consider
39:30whether or not to accept.
39:32Now, we have good reasons to be strict about that policy.
39:35So I cannot and I will not accept an answer from you
39:39right now.
39:40I understand.
39:42Great.
39:43Well, we'll speak to you tomorrow
39:45after you've fully considered the matter.
39:47OK, well, I guess I'll talk to you tomorrow then.
39:52Bye-bye.
40:06Damn, man, we're out of my mom's leftovers.
40:08Yeah, you can blame me for that one.
40:10Well, you better be hitting up some delivery apps, man,
40:11because I was looking forward to reheating them greens.
40:14And I am not going to the debate on an empty stomach.
40:16You feel me?
40:22You're going to get that?
40:26Are you?
40:28OK, wait, where's Jeffrey?
40:37Hey, what's up?
40:39Tell me this isn't you, Will.
40:41How did you find that?
40:53Does it matter?
40:55Is it you?
40:56This isn't what it looks like, Lisa.
40:57Shut up, Carlton.
41:02Are you going to speak?
41:07Lisa, hold on, hold on, hold on.
41:08Don't leave, don't leave.
41:09Then tell me something that doesn't make it seem so bad
41:12that you lied to me about who you really are
41:14and why you're here.
41:15Lisa.
41:16I took up for you every time my dad told me
41:19to stay away from you.
41:20And like an idiot, I defended you
41:22when he told me that you were trouble.
41:24Oh, I can't believe he was right.
41:26Lisa, can we talk alone, please?
41:39Lisa, listen.
41:51I'm sorry, I'm sorry, and I have no excuse.
41:53I'm sorry, I'm sorry, and I have no excuse.
42:03This is so fucked up, Will.
42:06Why would you lie?
42:07Because I feel like I needed respect Uncle Phil
42:10when he told me not to tell you.
42:11I hid nothing from you.
42:13I caught hell for you, and damn it, Will, we had sex,
42:16and I...
42:19I feel like I don't know the first thing about you.
42:22Lisa, please don't say that.
42:24Like, I'll tell you everything.
42:27I will tell you everything.
42:30OK.
42:41Did you shoot someone?
42:44No.
42:45I shot a gun into the air to break up a fight.
42:51So your uncle did break the law?
42:54Yeah, to help me.
42:56Shit, I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for him.
43:00Well, thank you for finally being honest.
43:05But my dad knows, Will, and he's going to use it
43:07against your uncle at the debate.
43:09Judge Robinson told him.
43:10Fuck, Lisa.
43:11Please, you cannot let that happen.
43:12There's nothing that I can do.
43:14You did what you did, and he did what he did.
43:16You can't blame anyone else for what happens now.
43:21I gotta go.
43:22Lisa.
43:30Oh, fuck.
43:51Fuck.
44:06If you get nervous, just picture everybody naked.
44:13I think you've wandered into the wrong green room, Carl.
44:17We had a rock solid plan, Phil.
44:19Hmm.
44:20Too bad you couldn't stick to it.
44:22It only turns out I've done better without your endorsement.
44:26Whoa, whoa, whoa.
44:28Whoa, this is a restricted entrance.
44:29Unless you got campaign passes, you can't go backstage.
44:31Hey, you don't understand?
44:32Phillip Banks is my father.
44:33Yo, trust me, it's an emergency.
44:34We need to see him.
44:35Then call him.
44:35Yo, we already tried, man.
44:36He's not answering.
44:38Yeah.
44:40It feels good to be my own man,
44:43unshackled from your agenda and political favor bullshit.
44:50Those favors got your nephew out of prison, didn't it?
44:54The high road has no place in politics.
44:59And just remember, it didn't have to be this way.
45:03Sir, you can escort us if you want,
45:12but I need to go in there and see my father now.
45:15Can't leave my post.
45:16Yo, Uncle Phil!
45:17Uncle Phil!
45:18Hey, hey, hey, got your text, what's going on?
45:22They're all right, they're with the Banks campaign.
45:25All right.
45:25What's got you two so worked up?
45:28It's a family matter.
45:39Uncle Phil, I'm so sorry we tried to stop you.
45:40Dad, you need to call off the debate.
45:41Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
45:43One at a time.
45:44Carlton, what's the matter?
45:45Fred Wilkes knows about Will's arrest
45:47and the strings he pulled to get him out of, uh, trouble.
45:57How does he know?
45:58Lisa said something about a judge telling her dad?
46:01Look, it's got to be Judge Robertson, right?
46:05Well, yeah.
46:09Dad, what are you going to do?
46:13Don't worry about it.
46:14It's OK.
46:14I, um, yeah, I know how to handle this.
46:18Wait, wait, but if you go out there, he's going to.
46:19It's going to be fine.
46:21I promise.
46:22And I appreciate you both trying to keep a lid on this
46:24and racing down here to warn you.
46:25Uncle Phil, I swear, man, if I could go back to that night,
46:28I'd tell my mom not to drag you into all of this.
46:30And that would have been a waste of your life.
46:31And you wouldn't have been the only one who was worse off for it.
46:36Hey, I don't regret a thing.
46:44It's time.
46:47Still good?
46:50Yeah.
46:52I'm ready.
46:57Let's do this.
47:06Ladies and gentlemen, good luck, Daddy.
47:10You're going to do great.
47:11Thanks, Chris.
47:11All right.
47:14Hey, if you'll let any moment he's got you on the ropes,
47:17remember, you've got the knockout punch.
47:21I know.
47:22Thanks, Steven.
47:29Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our candidates,
47:32Fred Wilkes and Philip Banks, to the stage.
47:48Welcome to the LA Pacific Post Debate
47:50for the Los Angeles District Attorney.
47:53And thank you to our two candidates,
47:54Police Chief Fred Wilkes and Philip Banks.
47:58Tonight's debate will be 90 minutes long.
48:01Candidates will have one minute to answer each of my questions,
48:04and then 30 seconds for rebuttals.
48:07We will begin with opening statements by the candidates.
48:10By virtue of a coin toss, Mr. Banks will make
48:13the first opening statement.
48:22Good evening.
48:24When I launched my campaign, I did so with my family by my side.
48:30I believe you can tell a lot about a person by taking a hard look
48:34at how they treat their loved ones.
48:40Are they loyal?
48:41Are they trustworthy?
48:44Do they put the needs of their family above their own desires?
48:48As a husband and a father, I have strived to put my family ahead of all else.
48:56I have failed at times.
48:59But not today.
49:03No.
49:04Today...
49:14Today...
49:14I'm withdrawing from the race to be the next District Attorney.
49:24I need to be a dependable husband and father more than I need to be District Attorney.
49:30And because I'm no longer seeking public office, I'm asking that the press respect the privacy
49:34that my family and I cherish and deserve.
49:37Lastly, I want everyone to know that I've made my decision wholeheartedly.
49:44Because I am confident that Fred Wilkes will be the greatest District Attorney that this
49:50city has ever had.
49:52Fred, you have my support.
49:56And I urge everyone who is going to vote for me to cast their ballots for you.
50:03God bless you all.
50:05And good night.
50:06Congratulations.
50:07Do me proud.
50:09Oh my God, baby.
50:10Promise me you'll take that fellowship.
50:11Phil!
50:12Promise me.
50:13You're gonna be great.
50:26Come on.
50:28Come on.
50:30Come on.
50:31Come on.
50:33Come on, yeah.
50:36Hey, I'm okay.
50:41And the time moves slow when you get to the end
50:49Running away is easy, it's the leaving it's hard
50:59Running away is easy
51:03Running away is easy
51:10It's the leaving it's hard
51:13And loving you was easy
51:17It was you leaving it's hard
51:20But what was I to do?
51:28Just couldn't help myself falling in love with you
51:32What could I say?
51:40Oh, if I had enough chance to make you stay
51:45Cause when you ran away
51:52What do you think?
51:54What do you think?
51:55What do you think?
51:57I'm like, what?
51:58You
