[TV reporter] Mr. Johnson, can you elaborate on the

racial discrimination allegations at MACC Enterprises?

[Jarvis] This is the first I've heard about all of this.

- Uh, are you upset that you were used as a pawn to cover

the scrutiny from the Black community?

No comment. No comment.

Please!

[remote rests]

Baby...

I am so sorry.

I should've never pushed you into working with Kevin.

I am so so sorry!

Did you see my edge up?

Man, they got me out here lookin' bad.

How'd you let me leave the house like that?

You're worried about your hairline right now?

It's not your fault. It's on me.

It's on me. I had a funny feelin' about them from the start.

[sighs]

- But you know what I'm a do? - What?

I'm gonna finish my interview. Yeah.

That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna control my narrative.

Okay.

Yeah, but first....

I'm a swing by the barbershop.

* Strength in numbers

Nothing but net, baby!

Hell good lookin bruh. Stay up.

* I'm gon' ride for my bros

* You know if I got then you got it homie

* You ain't gotta ask no questions

* 'Cause what I look like working hard just to be selfish

* You ain't gotta ask

* If I'm my brother's keeper, keeper

* That's my shine

[knocking]

[door creaks]

- [Naomi sighs] - Hi.

Caleb, your dad's here!

Wow, this is a...

pretty interesting.

So you don't like it.

No, I did not say...

- I know what interesting means. - ...I didn't like it. I did not say I didn't...

- ...like it. Hey, Caleb! - Aw, what's up?

Listen, I bought you somethin'.

Oh look, Mom. A football!

- Yeah, I see. - Oh!

- Caleb, don't throw it in the house. He can throw.

Can we at least go to the park and throw it?

- In the rain? - Hey, Caleb...

next weekend we can do whatever we want because it's gonna be a

- ...guys only weekend. [laughs] - Only weekend!

- Guys only weekend, okay? - The weekend.

Oh you excited about that, huh?

- Be excited. - Yeah.

Well your dad and I still got a couple things to talk about,

and you gotta behave.

Caleb, why don't you uh, go upstairs and turn on

the 2K game, and I'll be up there in a minute.

- You ain't ready. - [Omar] What?! - [laughter]

- I ain't ready? You ain't ready! - Aye, aye, aye!

Still ain't ready.

[laughter] You better be ready when I get up there.

- A'ight.

[Omar laughs]

Our son is somethin' else.

- Yeah, he is. - Yeah.

You uh, you want somethin' to drink?

Yeah...yeah, sure.

[clacking heels]

There's no way that you can kick me and my husband out!

This has to be illegal!

Well technically I'm reclaimin' my property under Section C 1.2.

It's in the fine print.

Fine-- Uh...hello? Are you not gonna say anything?

Fine!

We are gonna write you a scathing review, buddy. How do you like that!?

Well how about I give you 10% off your next stay?

Okay, so I can admit that I was a little short

with you in court.

Meditation has provided some clarity.

Short? You barely had 2 words to say to me.

Well you know I don't like to lose.

[glass rests]

Well like I said, I just wanna do what's best for Caleb.

No egos.

Right.

- Look I really appreciate everything you do for our son.

- Wow...you've never said that to me before.

Well I do.

I always have.

Even after we separated because of that postpartum thing,

I was just doin' what I thought you needed.

It's not what I needed.

[sniffles]

What I needed...

was to know that you would be there for me...

when things got rough, Omar. [crying]

[shuddering breath]

I couldn't even control myself.

- [sniffling]

Naomi,

[shuddered breathing]

I'm sa-- I'm sorry. I don't know

[sniffles]

I don't know why I'm getting so emotional. I'm just...

I think that I thought

[shuddered breathing]

having Caleb would make my relationship better with my dad.

[sniffling]

And with you.

[shuddered breathing]

- [sniffling] - Naomi, kids don't solve problems.

[sniffles]

They highlight them.

["There for You" by DeCarlo plays]

- Mm. - It's up to us to fix the problems if we want to.

* Cast out all of your anxiety

* I will love you through your hardships

* Even though there's no guarantees

* I will never break a promise

* When you smile

* Down that aisle

* Lately I've been imaginin'

* If guests collide I will be your defense

* I'll protect you

- There are several lawsuits that allege discrimination

in the hiring and housing process at MACC Enterprises.

- And that's why I brought you here today, Angela.

To clear the air.

Now I in no way support, condone, or stand by

any of their reprehensible actions.

- Some people are looking at it like you already took the bait.

And indirectly supported the very company that

charges more per square foot in commercial leases for Blacks

than for any other race.

That's my fault.

I take 100% responsibility

in not fully vetting and doing my due diligence before partnering with the firm.

Have you seen the memes? They're calling you a sellout.

That's not the first time I've heard that, Angela.

You know, in fact I've gotten that my entire life

because of my education, who I chose to marry.

You know, Black people are not monolithic people.

We're complex.

And I think we should celebrate each other's differences

- ...instead of just canceling each other out.

Now I'll admit, I have high standards for my people

- and sometimes I can come off a little pretentious. - Oh we his people now?

Mm hm.

But I love my people.

And I intend to show it.

And how do you plan to do that?

Well first, I plan to start a scholarship fund and create a

internship for HBCU students.

Now I'm a start that with my own money, alright. I'm not gonna wait.

But I will reach out to some of my business associates and friends.

That's you too.

- Now we're friends. - We're friends.

- Does that include MACC Enterprises. Are they friends?

That's everyone except MACC.

All money's not good money.

- Okay, look at you tryin' to get un-canceled.

- I am. Black Twitter is destroying me!

- [laughter] - I need your help.

- One guy said the Black delegation wanted to trade me for G-Eazy.

- Well, damn. [laughs] - Right?

- That's what I said. - The internet is undefeated!

But we can beat 'em if you help me.

- [Eugene] It is one beautiful night

in the city.

And the place to be

is 95 Peters Street.

A young artist, Keith Johnson,

he's having a photo exhibition. His photo exhibition

is called Changing the Narrative.

And the best part about this stunning, uh, debut

is that it is free.

Now me, I would have charged you

probably a substantial amount, but Keith

has decided against that.

So the least we can do is go support him.

- Jarvis! - Yo, what's up?

[Omar] Hey, what's up?

- Hey Lisa, how you doin'? - Hey...

good to see you.

Hey, your boy got this joint packed out!

- I heard your Uncle Gene's shout out on the radio.

- Yeah. - I'm like man, I'm so glad we're not the only ones here.

Hey listen, that would be a tragic.

Uh...bartender I will do a

- ...Crown Royal neat. - Mm.

- Thank you. - Hey, don't even worry about though, I

got you, man. You can just pay me later.

[Lisa] Babe, it's an open bar. You know that right?

- Why are you messin' up the hustle, babe?

- Come on, mama. - Why were you tryin' to scam me...

- I'm not tryin' to sc-- - ...at an open bar, Jarvis?

I'm tryin' to set somethin' up for later.

Who the hell are all these people? I know Keith ain't got this many friends.

Hey, they here to see the art, Greg.

- What's up, baby? - What's up?

What's up, Greg?

- What's up, Jarvis.

- Lisa. - Hey, Greg.

I uh...saw your interview.

Yeah?

- Oh. - What'd you think?

- I mean you know, you were sweatin' like you stole somethin',

- but other than that, you know it was a'ight. - [Omar laughs]

- I'll admit, I was nervous, Greg. - Mm.

Felt like I was on trial.

Nah, I think it's great what you're doin' for the HBCU's, man.

I'm proud of you.

I think people can tell your heart is in the right place.

Includin' me.

Awe.

I appreciate that, G.

I know that was terribly difficult for you to say just now!

The hardest thing I've ever done in my life. [laughs]

[cheering and applause]

- Yo!

- [chanting] Speech, speech, speech, speech! - Okay.

Speech!

- Alright, alright...um

I just wanna thank everybody for comin' out tonight.

And joining me tonight for my very first exhibit,

Changing the Narrative!

[cheers and applause]

Let's go!

It means the world to me.

Um...heh!

Many of you have come from far and near

[Keith] I just wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart.

There's a lot of amazing pieces here, but this next one

is extra special to me.

Can I get a little help?

* Sun came out to just bless you

- [Greg] Oh, okay! - [Omar] Wow.

- Okay. - Oh.

- [Greg] When? - [Jarvis] When did you do this?

In elementary school

we all had to line up in alphabetical order for lunch.

And these guys were next to me because we all had the same last name.

And we've been inseparable ever since.

I grew up an only child, but

these guys are my brothers.

And the only reason I have this beautiful gallery.

So thank you.

Thank you everybody for being here tonight.

Enjoy the exhibit.

[cheers and applause] - Salut!

Salut.

- Salut!

Oh my god, congratulations!

Oh I'm so proud of you.

- So proud of you, bro. - Appreciate you.

- Good goin', man. - Thank you man.

- Congrats. - I couldn't of done it without you guys.

I didn't know you was this good.

[laughter]

No, look...as annoying as this guy is with the camera,

he takes some damn good photos.

[Omar] He's incredible, look.

* Man it's something I can't stop

* Looking at, I wanna touch it

* But I can't, it's too hot

I got to go to the bathroom.

I'll be right back.

- Okay. - Thanks for lettin' us know.

What time is it?

[sighs]

Hey, Bianca!

What are you doing here?

What am I doing here?

What are you doing here?

I'm here to support my friend.

I'm here to support my friend too.

[Simultaneously] Who?...Keith!

I didn't know you were friends with Keith.

Yes, I am friends with Keith and you should not be here.

- Why not? - I know that Keith likes you...a lot.

And you do not feel the same way. I don't even know why you would come.

Why wouldn't I? Because it would make you feel uncomfortable?

Keith wants me here.

Listen Bianca, what we did that night

was a mistake. We shouldn't have done it.

I don't even remember that night.

- Wait...

uh...what?

Honestly it's all a blur. I'll blame it on the alcohol.

So you're sayin' it wasn't--

Omar, just relax, okay. I'm not gonna say anything.

I came here to look at the photographs, and I'm gonna leave.

Look, Keith is a sweetheart.

And I don't wanna hurt him. I'll break his heart.

[door slams shut]

[Keith scoffs]

Oh, please finish. [scoffs]

Don't stop on my account.

Not now anyway.

Keith, listen. I, I can explain, bro.

What is there left to explain?

- Hm?

Nothing.

[loud speaker feedback] Hello?

Heh, this thing on? Um...sorry.

You know what I just don't understand about--

when you thought that you--

when you th--

[ice rattles]

Huh.

- [exhales] - You know...

my mother used to say to me that

if you listen to someone long enough,

they'll tell you who they really are...

(whispering) - What is he talking about? - I--

...but it's up to you to listen.

And you know what?

I hear you loud and clear.

Um...

thank you all for coming out tonight.

Thank you so much. Have a good night.

[rumbling] - Wait, what?

Yo, yo, Keith.

Keith!

Okay, [ice rattling]

uh...

[slurring] Okay, everyone.

there a... that was a poem

that Keith wrote

a wha-- to describe one of the photos, and it's up to you

to f-- to, to find out which photo.

It's all about experience, folks. [laughs]

Yup...kay, um...

enjoy.

[stumbling]

- [muted clapping] [Lisa] You just-- you okay?

I have never seen him that mad. What was wrong with him?

- I don't know.

I don't know Jarvis.

Well this is not fun. Look, me and Lisa, we gonna just take off.

- [sighs] Alright, man. - Take that for you?

- No, I got it, I got it. - You good? Okay.

- You be safe, man. - Alright.

- [Lisa] Bye, guys. (mumbling) - [Jarvis] He not sharing his drink.

- Huh.

He found out about Bianca, huh?

Can't you tell?

[Eugene] Have you guys ever had one of those days?

One of those days where you have to reflect

and evaluate whether life

is moving in the right direction, whether you're being true

to whatever ideas you've had of yourself and dreams you've ever had.

I've had them far too often.

Jarvis, I, I think we're getting pulled over.

- Really?

[police siren wails]

[Jarvis] We ga-- we ga-- we alright. We just gonna relax.

- [Lisa] Yeah. - Big day.

[passenger door shuts]

- [Jarvis] Alright. What we gonna do? Alright. - There ya go.

Hi, uh officer.

How are you doing tonight?

Driver's license, registration, proof of insurance, please.

Yes, sir. Of course.

Hey, officer. [laughs] Sorry about that.

A sometimes my wife has a heavy foot. So she'll make sure to slow down, sir.

Yeah, a I'll make sure.

- I wasn't talking to you, buddy.

Let me talk to the driver.

Uh...okay. [laughs]

He's serious, right?

What's up, brother?

[laughs] Ah, it's good to see you.

[unlatches buckle]

Look, it's good to see you out here, man.

Heh, you know we gotta police our own community, right?

You know, am I right?

- Can I see your ID please? - Look, well I,

what you need my ID for?

I'm not, I'm not drivin'.

- It's just standard practice with the department, sir. - Come on, bro!

Come on. You know me. Come on, bro.

- Your ID. - [Jarvis laughs]

What? Nah.

Nah, nah, nah that ain't legal. That ain't legal, babe.

- That ain't legal. - Babe, babe, babe, just give him your ID.

- For what? - Sir, we can either do this the easy way or the hard way.

Oh we touchin' now? We touchin'?

Listen, the easy way, right, is for you

to just write us a ticket and be about your business.

Now come on, man. I got great lawyers. Quit playin' with me.

Man, get out of the car.

Get your hands outta my car, dude!

- Get out of the car! - [Lisa] What are you doing?

- Get out of the car! - He hasn't done anything wrong!

- I ain't gettin' out. I ain't gettin' out. - You're gettin' out.

- I ain't gettin' out. - Get him out.

- I ain't gettin' out. I ain't gettin' out. - Get him out.

[groans in pain]

Get off me!

She's made me a better man.

Do you love her, Greg?

I do.

[Eugene] It is hard, very hard to

find true friends.

- But when you do find them,

- hold on to 'em.

Now, they might not be perfect,

but guess what?

neither are you.

* Yeah I let you go, yeah
