[Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" plays]

Dre: Upsets...

[Horn blares]

they're as American
as apple pie... and obesity.

Yep, America has a love affair

with upsets.

As a matter of fact, that's
how the country got started.

Those scrappy kids from
the East Coast beat an empire.

Here's the thing
with an upset, though...

Someone wins and someone loses.

And when that happens,
the losing side always tries

to look for where things went wrong.

Yep. At the end of the day,

no one wants to be on
the losing side of an upset.

But what happens when
the winners and the losers

are supposed to be on the same team?

- Reporter: And there is it.
- Rainbow: Oh!

We're officially calling it
a win for Donald Trump.

Dre: I'm really asking.

Seriously, what happens?

No, no, no, no.

It had been over two months
since the election,

but everyone was acting like
it had only been two minutes.

Bow, what's going on, dude? Seriously?

What? Everything you're wearing

is from an NPR commercial.

No, it's from a Barney's sale.

- Really?
- Yeah.

These UNICEF flip-flops
are from a Barney's sale?

And this Covenant House sweatshirt

and Habitat for Humanity sweatpants,

Black Lives Matter button... Barney's.

Uh-huh.

And why aren't you guys
dressed for school?

We don't have school today.

They gave us a day of reflection.

- A day of what?
- Reflection.

It's a lot to think about.

Much needed, if you ask me.

My first 90 days as student-body
president have been rough.

Valley Glen Prep is
a pressure cooker about to blow.

And he tried to tell me
I stole his phone.

- Gomez: Joey. Joey.
- "No, I didn't steal your phone."

- "I stole your computer."
- Joseph Peterson,

will you please get back in your seat?

I don't have to listen to you,
Ms. Gomez.

They're about to ship you
back to your country.

- [Students gasping]
- Ship her back.

[All chanting "Ship her back"]

To be fair, Ms. Gomez is from
Spain, her visa is expiring,

and she is looking forward
to seeing her abuela.

But I'm pretty sure those kids
did not know that at that time.

They did not.

So, yeah, we got the day off
to prep for the Healing Rally.

They asked me to read MLK's
"I Have a Dream" speech at it,

so I'm trying to memorize it.

Oh, that's fantastic!

Healing Rally?

Day of reflection?

Are they gonna prorate your tuition?

- Dre.
- Bow, that school is not cheap.

- I know.
- Four kids times two days.

That's a pair of Jordan 3s and a hoodie.

Oh, my God. What?

I don't need comforting?

[Sighs]

Ignore him. I am very proud
of you, sweetheart.

And why don't you take
this Trevor Project scarf.

Wear it around your throat
while you're practicing, huh?

What are you doing for
the Healing Rally, Zoey?

I'm making lemonade.
Looking up recipes now.

Oh, I get it.

The country gives you lemons,
and you make lemonade, right?

Nope.

Oh, I see.

You're doing it more as
a symbolic thing, like Beyonc?.

How she uses lemonade
as a symbol for women

and their self-knowledge and healing.

Yeah, that's good.

No, I mean it as

a non-carbonated refreshment thing.

My friends are not really soda people.

Okay.

Yeah, that's good, too.

I mean, it's not scarf good,
but... do better.

Your mother's unraveling.

I'm probably gonna have to get a lawyer

to help me take both of you.

I've always wanted to testify
against one of my parents.

I don't know why you guys don't
want to try my "stay positive"

New Year's resolution.

I'm telling you, it helps.

Like, I don't see
this glass as half empty,

I see it as half full.

But it's completely empty.

But I see it as half full.

It's also a bowl.

In his own sweet-smiled,
misunderstood way,

Jack's confusion with metaphors
seemed to echo

the same polarizing emotions
I saw everywhere I turned.

[Shouting indistinctly]

The world had become
a giant mixed vortex

of anxiety and elation,
and we seemed to be

more openly divided
than we'd been in a long time.

I wish I could say work
was better, but it wasn't.

Nope. Even the usually impenetrable,

cartoonish walls of Stevens & Lido

had been affected
by the real uncertainties

of what our world was going to become.

- Come on, guys.
- Hey! Whoa.

We've got till 5:00
to get this Boxable pitch ready.

- Whoa. Hold on. 5:00 today?
- Yeah.

How the hell did we let this
creep up on us like that?

Yeah, when did we get that pitch?

November 8th.

Guys, listen up. Listen up.

Just got off the phone,
and we got the Boxable pitch.

[Cheers and applause]

This is huge.

So huge, in fact,
that we brought back Lucy,

completely unrelated to
the lawsuit we can't talk about.

- [Neck cracks]
- The point is, we have got to

knock this pitch out of the park.

- I said "pitch."
- Did you?

Didn't sound like it.

Look, the good news is,
we have plenty of time,

so I want you all to go home,
'cause tonight should be

a pretty uneventful election night.

[Cheers and applause]

We're gonna make history tonight.

Reporter: boisterous rally last night,

Trump and his supporters, along...

Everybody go home.

There's no way we're
getting any work done today,

so we'll reconvene tomorrow.

I can't believe this.

I just read that he may not
even live at the White House!

What?! That is a donkey punch
to the back of the head.

This day is a wash.
We'll start fresh tomorrow.

Daphne: This is ridiculous!

I hear Sean Hannity's already suggesting

he basically do a reality show
inside the White House.

Sweet mother of God,
that man is an evil genius.

That's an outstanding idea.

Look, there is no way we are
getting any work done today.

No, no, no. We're gonna leave
the pitch for tomorrow.

Now, come on, we got to get
some work done, all right?

Now, these are the areas
that we need to focus on.

- Got to say, Leslie...
- [Groans]

I still can't believe
you didn't vote for him.

You guys don't know me at all, okay?

Look, I am a ferocious Republican,

but Trump is just not my kind of guy.

Now, you give me a true
conservative like Mitt Romney...

A beautiful, coiffed-haired tax genius

made in a president factory? Mm-mmm!

Also, your entire life runs on the backs

of an absurdly low-priced,
extremely diligent workforce

Trump is looking to deport.

Also, there's that. - Mm.

Come on. We got to move on.

- Mm-hmm.
- Dre's right.

I mean, we've tricked off the
last two months of work on this.

- Yeah.
- Look, it's a new year,

fresh start, clean slate.

Curtis: Uh, speaking of Slate...

Did y'all see what they put up today?

- What?
- Trump is in a Twitter beef

with Dikembe Mutombo.

- Oh, hell.
- Guys!

- Guys!
- That's crazy.

[All talking]

Junior: I have a dream.

[As Martin Luther King Jr.]
I have a dream.

[As Malcolm X] I have a dream.

I have a dream that

blah-de-blah-de-blip-blip yadda-yadda.

You know this "I have a dream" stuff

is not the whole speech, right?

It isn't?

It most certainly is not.

There's a whole lot of that speech

that they do not want you to hear.

And when I say "they,"
I do mean the white man,

if I was not clear.

I'm not feeling this scarf, Junior.

This was my life now.

The idea of business as usual

had become anything but usual.

Nobody knew how we got here,
but everybody had their ideas.

Hey! Keep it down, okay?

'Cause we all know
whose fault this really is.

I'm actually mad at myself
for not having started here.

Okay.

- Oh.
- What?!

It was the blacks.

You just can't give us
that capital "B," huh?

Not today, Charles. Not today.

How is this our fault?

If you all had turned out for Hillary

the way that you turned out
for Barack...

Hold on. Are you comparing
Barack Obama to Hillary Clinton?

That's exactly what he's doing.

T-That's just crazy.

You're talking about the man
who had a left-hand jumper

and smoked menthols.

Coolest president we ever had.

I mean, no offense to Hillary,

but that's like comparing
Jay Z to K.D. Lang.

- Mm-hmm.
- I don't know about

left-hand jumpers
or what a K.D. Lang is,

and as much as I do love

the cool legendary rush of a menthol,

all I cared about was that he was black.

- Yes.
- Yes.

- There it is.
- He could've punched a baby

in the face.

- Broke his nose!
- What?!

It wouldn't have mattered.
Look, come on.

We talking about
the first black president ever.

Okay. We had to come out.

Don't even care that
he was a Republican.

- Uh...
- Sorry?

Oh. Um...

He was... He was a Democrat, Charlie.

Both times?

- Oh.
- Yeah, both times.

Hmm. I'm gonna look that up.

- Wow.
- Maybe you should come up

- with an idea for this pitch.
- Well...

No, no, no. I'm... I'mma do this.

Truth is, you got to rep your people.

That's why who we really
need to blame is white...

Hold on one damn minute, now!

Women!

Let's hear her out, guys.

I think she's got something to say.

When black folks had the chance
to put up one of ours,

we did what we had to do.

- That's right.
- Come on now.

Showed up and showed out.

And, Dre, I got to be honest.

- Yeah.
- I still don't see anything

on here about that whole
Barack-Democrat thing.

I'm gonna go to the library,
see what I can dig up.

Okay.

Also, I have to return a DVD.

I do not recommend "Young Guns II."

- What?
- He might love it.

It's a classic.

Look. Okay, seriously.

That pant-suited white woman
could've been

the first female president,
so can someone explain

how 53% of white women voted for
the orange [bleep] grabber?

I've always said
the American white woman

is as fickle as a Pinot Noir.

Lucy, I mean,
as the resident white woman,

if there was ever a cue for
you to talk, it would be now.

Why didn't your sisters
turn out for Hillary?

Why is she just staring at me?

Please, dear God, just say something.

- [Sighs]
- Lucy?

Well, first, white women aren't sisters.

We hate each other.

- Okay.
- And second, if you must know...

I voted for Trump.

- [Screaming]
- Oh, my God!

No, you didn't!

Pinot Noir.

Unh-unh. She ain't worth it.

And there will be neither rest
nor tranquility in America

until the Negro is granted
his citizenship rights.

The whirlwinds of revolt will continue

to shake the foundations of our nation

until the bright day of justice emerges.

Oh, my God.

You were right.

That's a battle cry.

It's like something from "Braveheart."

Martin had a lot more Malcolm
in him than people thought.

It's like two different speeches.

Why don't they teach us this part?

'Cause it's their job to pacify you,

and when I say "they,"
I do mean the white man,

if I wasn't clear.

It's a scam!

Sure, they give us the hook,

but they don't give us the verse.

You can find me up in the club,

but what else is going down there?

Oh, a whole lot, son. A whole lot.

Well, go ahead. Have a sip.

No, no, don't do that. Don't do that.

Besides, you're underage

and you look like
you might have the gene.

I can feel it sometimes.

Look, I know you're
feeling duped right now.

I've been there. But you
can't let it get you down.

The day you realize that
there are things going on

between the lines is a special day.

But how can I read this one section

knowing it's not the complete message?

It's just a choice you're gonna
have to make for yourself.

Thank God I got alcohol to help me

with these difficult decisions.

You... You're on your own.

Can I have, like, a sip?

Oh, I'm definitely gonna
have to keep my eye on you.

Stevens: Lucy, you sound stupid, okay?

There's all this yappity-yap
about female empowerment,

and still you don't care enough

to elect the first female president?

Of course I want a female president.

I just didn't want it to be her.

- Why?
- Why?

You guys just said that
you would've voted for

anyone who was black,
but what if instead of Obama,

it was Clarence Thomas
or Herman Cain or Ben Carson?

- Oh, God, no.
- Definitely not that fool.

Dude is a weirdo.

Yeah, exactly. Well, in my mind,

Hillary Clinton is
the Ben Carson of white women.

- Oh.
- What?!

- Outrageous.
- Is Ben Carson even black?

But Trump's a misogynist.

I mean, t-t-the boob jokes,

the Miss Universe comments,
the [bleep] grabbing?

- Ah.
- Man, totally ruined Tic Tacs for me.

Look, as stupid as those
comments were, and they were,

at least I know
he says what's on his mind.

Who knows what Hillary's
actually thinking?

What was she even about?

Oh, my God. Stop it!
What was she even about?

She was the most qualified candidate

to ever run for president.

Look, I'll admit, I don't think
Donald Trump is a great guy.

No, he is the devil, and I should know.

- What?
- Hmm?

But look, Hillary's no angel, either.

I'm not some crazy
right-wing nut, you guys.

I voted for Obama twice.

I even got my Republican parents
to vote for him.

He felt different.

I believed he was gonna change stuff.

- He did!
- But it's eight years later,

and my dad's still out of work,
my hometown's about to go under,

and Hillary comes out saying

she's basically gonna
keep everything the same.

I'm sorry, but that doesn't work
for me or my family.

Okay, I-I-I hear what you're saying.

But what about all the other families

that are gonna be affected...

Gay families, Muslim families,
immigrant families?

And we're in here fighting against

the greatness of America again,
aren't we?

Pumpkin, that is not how I raised you.

What? I was allowed to hit the help.

Uh, that was just exercise.
You were pudgy.

I'm sorry, but just think about
it for a second.

This country at its core
is just a company.

I mean, I know we don't like
to think of it that way,

but America is a corporation, okay?

It's the world's biggest
and most important corporation.

So is it so crazy to think
that maybe a businessman,

who runs big corporations,
might not be such a bad idea?

He runs them into the ground.

- Exactly.
- That idiot goes bankrupt

like Khlo? Kardashian
changes black dudes.

Well, guess what. He won, okay?

So can we please give this man a chance?

- To do what?
- Hell no!

- Chance to what?
- At least give him a chance.

Dre: Guys!

Guys, the pitch is today, all right?

Can we get back to work?

- Fine.
- Fine.

As long as she knows
that a vote for Trump

is a vote for racism.

- Yep, very true.
- Oh, I'm racist?

- Mm-hmm.
- I'm a racist?

- Yep, pretty much.
- I'm a racist?

Please, don't say it.

I have black friends.

- Oh!
- Oh, my God. She said it.

- It's racist to say that.
- They're real. They're real.

- Lunch!
- I do!

It's lunch.

Rainbow: So, for my donation,

I get a water bottle and a Frisbee.

That is awesome.

Go, Hillary!

Yeah, I-I know.

- Thank you.
- [Telephone beeps]

Still working on your lemonade, huh?

I am.

Okay.

Did you know the yellower the lemon,

the more tart the taste?

Did you know that the Earth
has lost more

than half of its wildlife
in the last 40 years?

Whoa. That's a lot.

- That's a lot.
- Thank God for zoos.

How about while that's cooking,

you and I just take 15 minutes

and hop on a Planned Parenthood
phone bank

and make them some money?

'Cause we're women, sweetie,
and people hate us.

I can't, Mom.

Got to keep stirring this
60 rotations a minute,

or else it'll clot.

You know what else will clot?

Untreated rectovaginal fistulas.

I've really got to focus on this.

- How is he getting Mexico...
- I want you to explain that.

He's gonna start arresting women
for having abortions.

He walked that back, and maybe you
wouldn't have to worry about that

if 650,000 e-mails didn't disappear...

[All shouting]

We're talking about e-mails.
Not policy, e-mails.

See what I did there?

Look, all I know is that man
would never be my president.

- Agreed.
- Agreed.

What about the electoral college?

I mean, there is still time
to overturn that.

No. No, no, no.

[Chuckles]

Wait, no, no, no. Hold on.
W-What's so funny, Dre?

Yeah, you haven't had nothing to
say about any of this all day.

Why do you not care about
what's happening to our country?

What did you say to me?

Hmm?

You don't think
I care about this country?

I love this country,

even though at times,
it doesn't love me back.

For my whole life,
my parents, my grandparents, me,

for most black people, this
system has never worked for us.

But we still played ball,
tried to do our best

to live by the rules even though we knew

they would never work out in our favor.

Had to live in neighborhoods
that you wouldn't drive through,

send our kids to schools
with books so beat up

you couldn't read them,

work jobs that you wouldn't even
consider in your nightmares.

Black people wake up every day
believing that our lives

are gonna change, even though
everything around us

says it's not.

Truth be told,
you ask most black people,

and they tell you that no matter
who won this election,

they didn't expect the hood
to get better.

But they still voted,

because that's what
you're supposed to do.

You think I'm not sad
that Hillary didn't win?

That I'm not terrified about
what Trump's about to do?

I'm used to things not going my way.

I'm sorry that you're not
and it's blowing your mind,

so excuse me if I get a little offended

because I didn't see all of this outrage

when everything was happening
to all of my people

since we were stuffed
on boats in chains.

I love this country

as much, if not more, than you do,

and don't you ever forget that.

Okay! I found the perfect way
for you to get involved.

Mannequin challenge. Ha!

Just have to stand still.

You literally don't have to do anything.

And then you can post it.

You know, to raise awareness
on whatever you want?

- I'm not doing that, Mom.
- Why not?

Zoey, what's wrong with you?

You have to have a voice.

You don't want me to have a voice,

you want me to have your voice.

- Yeah.
- You think I don't see

what's going on around us?

That's why I made this lemonade
for the Healing Rally.

It's not Liberal lemonade.
It's not Conservative lemonade.

It's just lemonade
that I made with love.

That's what I want my
contribution to be... love.

I'm sorry that I have been acting

the way that I've been acting.

I'm just... I'm really upset.

And I'm scared.

And I don't want to hate people,
but I kind of do.

'Cause honestly, I feel hated.

I feel like I failed you.

What are you talking about?

Because as a mom, it is
my job to deliver a world

where the values that I raised
you to believe in mattered.

And they didn't! They didn't!

I mean, half of our country
rejected them!

Hey, Mom, our values don't disappear

just because our side lost one election.

And in the next one,

me and my friends will be voting.

We're gonna pick up
right where you left off.

I know you will.

Thank God.

[Chuckles]

Mm.

Not bad?

I mean, seriously.

- Yeah.
- This is fantastic.

- I'm really good.
- [Laughs]

This is crazy.

Tell me what I'm gonna say.

Ain't nobody's pawn.

What's going on here, boy?

I've been such a fool!

Nothing is what it seems!

The constitution, the JFK assassination,

"The Star Spangled Banner."

Have you heard verse four?

It's about killing slaves!

Yeah, you won't hear them
singing that at the Super Bowl.

I'm gonna give a speech,
but it's gonna be

a different kind of speech
that shakes the world.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Sit down, now.

This is not what I meant.

When I asked you to read MLK's speech,

it's 'cause I wanted you
to learn the truth,

to know exactly
what you were talking about,

but I didn't want you
to change who you are.

But I'm woke now.

And that's a beautiful thing,

but you can't let that turn you
into another angry black man.

That's what I am.

Hell, so is your daddy,
especially when he's hungry.

But not you, son.

That beautiful, bright way you have

of looking at the world
is what makes you special.

I never want to take that from you.

Now, look, there was
something I didn't tell you

about the speech.

When Dr. King was giving
the speech, he was fired up.

Now, there was a famous singer
named Mahalia Jackson

sitting right there with Dr. King.

She screamed at him, she said,

"Tell them about your dream, Martin!

Tell them about your dream!"

You see what I'm saying?

You know I don't.

Mahalia had heard Dr. King speak
in church a few nights before.

She heard the speech...
The part about the dream.

She was moved.

So when Martin heard her screaming,

he knew immediately what she meant.

The people needed to hear
that we should be fighting.

But they also needed to hear

what we should be
fighting for... the dream.

Martin knew that. You need to know that.

And you especially need to know
it with where we are now.

I'm feeling this look on you, too.

Look, I'm sorry
for blowing up like that.

This election is driving me crazy, too,

and I know how hard it is
to deal with the gut punch

that we are all feeling right now.

It sucks.

And all I'm trying to say
is that maybe instead

of letting this destroy us,
we take the feeling

you guys felt the day after
the election...

and say that morning we all woke up

knowing what it felt like to be black.

It is a nightmare.

I thought I'd feel taller.

Yeah, well, maybe we can
get past all that racial B.S.

that's held us up for so long
and work with each other

to make sure that whatever
happens next in this country,

we do together.

How do we work together
when the other half is nuts?

- O-Okay, okay.
- Mm-hmm.

We have to stop that, too.

All right, do I understand
what anybody in their right mind

could have seen in Trump?

No! But maybe that's why we lost.

Over 50 million people felt something.

And I'm not saying that they were right.

But I don't think it...
It's possible that all, half,

or even most of them were nuts...

or racists...

or hated women.

So then what were they thinking?

Daphne, I don't know.

But I do feel it's time that we
stop calling each other names

and we start trying to have
those conversations.

If we don't, we'll
end up being in a country

that's even more divided
for a long time.

King: There will be neither rest
nor tranquility in America

until the Negro is granted
his citizenship rights.

The whirlwinds of revolt will continue

to shake the foundations of our nation

until the bright day of justice emerges.

I have a dream that one day
on the red hills of Georgia

the sons of former slaves

and the sons of former slave owners

- will be able to...
- Dre: I've been lucky enough to raise

four beautiful children
in the world that showed them

Jay Z and Beyonc? as king and queen,

a black family in the White House,

and a woman run and almost win

the presidency of the United States.

So if you ask me if I love America,

the answer is yes, warts and all.

Can it be better? I hope so.

And I hope that we as a people
have it in us to come together

and make lemonade out of our lemons.

And sing in the words
of the old Negro spiritual,

"Free at last! Free at last!

Thank God Almighty,
we are free at last!"
