Well, I'm sorry to say,

Sorry, Sergeant.

Anything you say can

- What the hell do you think
you're doing to my grandson?

- There.
- Mm.

- You talking
about this hooligan?

Yeah, he's under arrest
for underage drinking,

contributing
to the delinquency of a minor,

and resisting arrest.
- Grandma-

- Officer, let me
make something very clear.

You are going
to take those handcuffs off

of my grandson now,

or you won't have a job
in the morning.

- [chuckles]

The cuffs are staying
right where they are.

And if you don't move your
highfalutin ass out my way,

you're going to be
wearing a matching pair.

Have I made myself clear?

- So you're new around here,

because you don't
understand what you're doing

and the consequences
of your actions.

- Oh, I'm just doing my job,

and I'm not going
to warn you again.

Interfering with a police
officer is a serious offense.

- [laughs]
Oh.

Martin.

- One second, all right?

You might want to take this.

- Is this a joke?

Am I supposed

But I'll tell you

And you had a 17-year-old girl

Come to you and say,
"Hey, Dad,

"we're about to have
a ton of people at the house,

so we're going to be drinking

Boy, I swear, man.

- I'm just saying, honey,
if I would have had a heads up,

I could have generated
more interest.

- The client wants it announced
at the HOA's meeting.

Now, I am giving you
this listing

not because you are my wife

but because you are the best
real estate agent I know.

However, I can give it
to someone else.

- You wouldn't dare.

- You've been married to me
a long time.

You know what I would
and wouldn't do.

- Yeah, I guess I do.

Jeffery, I don't know.
This could go bad.

You know how she gets when
she doesn't get what she wants.

- Well, stop worrying.

This is not my first time
at the rodeo.

Besides, as a lawyer, I have
an obligation to the client

as do you as its realtor.

Now, we are talking
a six-figure commission.

Do you want it or not?

- Of course I want it.

- Good.

Remember, you represent
the seller, not the buyer.

Your responsibility is to him,
not your family.

Just follow my lead.

- Okay, I just hope you're
not leading me off a cliff.

- Never.

- Lord,
this is a sacred place.

We're moving forward
with the vows of our ancestors.

Please bless us all

so our babies
may continue to run free.

In thy name, amen.

all: Amen.

- All right.

[indistinct chatter]

- Welcome, everyone.

I motion that the Memorial Day
weekend meeting

for the Black Hamptons
Homeowners Association

be called to order.

- I second that motion.

- Thank you, Mr. Bowen.

And thank you, Carolyn,

for opening up your home
for the meeting.

The first order of assignment
is the payment,

or nonpayment rather,

of this year's
association fees.

We have a community
of nearly 100 homes,

and those residents
whose fees remain unpaid

will be posted
to the community website

and social media platform
as a friendly reminder.

- Please tell me
you paid our dues.

I do not want
to be on that website

like the Petersons and Browns
were last year.

Leslie
and her so-called beach circle

were talking about them
like a dog all summer.

- Don't worry.

Now, I haven't paid them yet,

but I'm about to.

All right?
- Okay.

- Now that we've taken care
of old business,

I'd like to address a topic

that we've been trying
to address for quite some time,

and that is the policing
of our community.

- Oh, Lord, I seen
the police lights last night.

Don't tell me
one of those white bastards

done shot one of our boys.

- No, Brenda, that is
what we're trying to prevent.

And I am happy to announce,

after lobbying city council
for someone more sympathetic

to our plight
to patrol our community,

they have finally listened.

Ladies and gentlemen,
I'd like to introduce to you

Sergeant Thomas Lane.

[applause]

- Yes, I wasn't planning
on making any speeches,

but thank you.

- Sergeant Lane will be
our new community liaison

for the Sag Harbor
Police Department.

- Well, thank God.

Now, I don't have to worry
about my grandbaby being shot.

- Or being pulled over
for driving while Black.

I'm a 60-year-old doctor,
not a drug dealer.

So what?
I got a Ferrari.

- Well, thank you, Ms. Bowen.
- Yes.

- I am very happy to be here.

I'm also a proud member of the
Sag Harbor Police Department.

I'm not exactly quite sure
what you meant

by being sympathetic
to your plight,

but I am definitely qualified

considering my previous years
of law enforcement.

- What she meant is that
we requested a person of color

to patrol our community.

We thought that
it would be safer

not only for our sons

but for our fathers,
and our husbands,

and our nephews,
and our grandsons as well.

I hope we were right.

- I see.

Well, this would be a good time

to address the community
as a whole

and let you know
that I will treat

all non-law-abiding citizens
the same,

no matter the color of their
skin, sex, creed, culture.

I do not plan
on showing any bias.

I am more
than a Black police officer.

I am a sworn public servant,

hired to protect and serve.

- Well, as long
as you keep that gun holstered

and remember
that your salary is provided

by the good people
of this community

that you were hired
to protect and serve,

then I'm sure
we won't have any problems.

- With all due respect, ma'am,

my salary is paid
by the town of Sag Harbor,

not you directly.

- I know you would like
to think that,

but you might want
to call your boss about that

before you make
any more foolish statements

moving forward.

- Thank you, Carolyn,
for your clarity.

And thank you, Thomas Lane,
for stopping by.

We look forward
to working with you.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

The final item on the agenda
is that the vacant lot

on 22 Beach Lane has recently
become available for purchase.

My real estate office
will be handling the sale.

And as you know,
we like to keep the properties

within
the Black Hamptons family,

so if you know anyone
who is interested,

please let me know.

We can only keep it exclusive
and off the MLS for so long.

- That is Simpson's property.

- Yep, it sure is.

- Why would Les
put that on sale

without letting us know,
Mother?

- I don't know,
but I want that land.

Do you hear me?
both: Yes, Mother.

- Ahem, I would like some
information on the property.

My husband and I
are very interested.

- That property
actually belonged

to the Simpson family.

The Brittons and the Simpsons

had
a long withstanding agreement

that that property
would be sold to our family

at fair market value

should the Simpsons
decide to sell.

- Then why are we even
having this discussion?

Surely if that was the case,
the Simpsons would not even

have brought this opportunity
to the group.

- Young lady,
I don't give a damn

what opportunity you may
or may not think you had,

but that property over there

that's adjacent
to my home here, no.

The Simpsons and the Brittons
had a deal.

- It is also adjacent
to our property,

and we plan
on putting in a pool.

- What's the asking price?

- The estate
would like $5 million.

- Okay, well,
we'll give 5.5, cash.

both: We'll match that.

- Okay, then I guess
we'll up into 6 million.

- No.
No, I see where this is going.

And we are not going
to do this in public.

You do not sell that property
until you get my offer.

And, honey,
let me tell you one thing.

That property is mine,

and you are way out
of your league.

- Syd, calm down.

We're gonna get the property,
all right?

I'll make sure of it,
even if we have to overpay.

- Really, baby?
- Yes.

I love you, babe.
- Mm-hmm.

[cell phone ringing]

- Yes, Leslie?

- Hey, I'm here
with Carolyn Britton.

As you know, things got
a little out of hand,

and I felt that
maybe a face-to-face chat

might help you see
Mrs. Britton's perspective

about the property.

- Sure, we'd love to talk.
Come on in.

- [clears throat]

- Hello.
How are you?

- Good. How are you?
- Good.

So right this way.

♪ ♪

- Okay, so as you know,

things got a little out of hand
at the meeting,

and I thought
a face-to-face chat

might help you see
Mrs. Britton's perspective

about the property.

- Okay.
Well, yeah.

Sure, we'd love to hear
what you have to say,

but I can tell you our minds
are pretty much made up

about still wanting
the property.

- Well, I'm sure this all
can be resolved easily.

The most important thing is

that everyone gets
what they want.

- Of course.

- So before
you left the meeting,

you mentioned
that you wanted the property

to build a pool, correct?

- Yes, so if you remember,

when you were first
showing us houses here,

I mentioned to you that my wife
really wanted a pool, right?

So we settled
on this particular property.

I mean, it's beautiful,

but it at least had beachfront,
right?

- Right.
Yes, I do remember that.

So what would you say
if I can give you that pool

and give Mrs. Britton
what she wants?

- Well, I'd say I probably have
to hire you at Sydney Tech

because you know
how to resolve conflicts.

- Well...

So on the northeast parcel
of your property,

there's a 20-foot sliver

that connects to a lot
on Waterside Drive.

My suggestion is that you buy
that lot and put in your pool.

- Uh-uh.
No way.

- What my wife
is trying to say-

- No, honey,
what I meant was bullshit,

'cause that's exactly
what this is.

- That's not
what this is at all.

Mrs. Britton and I are here
to resolve this dispute

for the sake of all parties.

We're all neighbors, and-

- And again, bullshit.

We're not neighbors.

We're just some people
who happen to be able

to afford
the same damn zip code.

Neighbors are friends,
people who have common goals,

and y'all people think
y'all better than us.

- That's not true, okay?

And as HOA president,

I can't begin to tell you
how wrong you are.

We are friends.
- Okay.

Listen, lady,
save it,

'cause I haven't even seen
the inside of your house yet.

And she damn sure
wasn't acting neighborly

when she disrespected me
at the meeting.

Shit, she can't even
fix her face

to give me a proper apology.
- Okay, look-

- I can see
that intelligent conversation

isn't your wife's strong suit,
so I'm gonna address you.

- Oh, hell no.

Mm-mm, see, 'cause look,
I'm right here

and this is my damn house.

So I don't even know who
the hell you think you are,

but if you're not
gonna address me directly,

you can get the hell on out.

- Oh, I know exactly who I am,

and I know plenty of wannabes
just like you, little girl.

Find a man with a little money,

and then you think
you're somebody.

- Oh, you think
you said something, huh?

Well, for the record,
he didn't have anything

when I first met him, okay?
- True.

- And we built
Sydney Technology together

to what it is today.

And I love my husband.

He's my partner,
unlike your man.

From what I hear, you met his
ass in the secretarial pool.

- Ooh, you sure have
a lot of mouth

for someone who comes
from such humble beginnings.

However, you have said
one thing correctly.

I don't think that
I'm better than you.

I know I'm better than you.

- Okay, we're done here.

Mrs. Britton, I'm gonna have
to ask you to leave.

This conversation is over.

- Oh, this is far from over.

I can promise you that,
sweetheart.

- Well, I welcome
the challenge, sweetheart.

you haven't already proven

- Oh, of course not.

I mean, you've got

No, he's new money,

he's got a lot of money.

Have you heard

having a relationship

- I'm not sure you know this,

in the country.

- Oh, no,

As a matter of fact,
it's very important for us

to do business

But I got to tell you,

my wife won't allow me
to do any business with you

until she gets an apology
from your mother

based on the way
she spoke to her.

- Apologize for what?

If anybody need to apologize,

it need to be your wife
apologizing to my mother.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I think we need to let
the ladies have that discussion

and handle that
amongst themselves

while we handle
our business here,

partnering Sydney Tech
and Amistad together.
