Oh, here's our buddy.

- Oh, good morning, Jeffrey.

See you up early this morning.

You going out sailing?

- Actually, I'm returning.

I like to be out by Cedar Point.

When the sun comes up, it is breathtaking.

- Oh, I can imagine.

Me and the boys are going out on Brandon's charter,

- You are a busy man, Mr. Johnson.

Everett Simpson speaks highly of you.

I wasn't aware you two knew each other.

- We had a meeting.

You know, just trying to move the process along, Jeffrey.

You can understand that, can't you?

- [laughs] What you don't seem to realize

is that there is a process.

- What you don't seem to realize

is that I'm a businessman, Jeffrey,

and what I understand is winning.

Now, my wife and I patiently waited for you to call us

for over three weeks.

We took matters into our own hands,

when all that was really necessary

was for you to make a simple phone call to Everett.

- Sometimes, my friend, things aren't as simple as they look.

However, I have spoken to my client.

He's made his intentions very clear,

and he will be here this afternoon

to sign the paperwork.

- That's all I wanted to hear.

- I bet.

Let's just hope this doesn't turn into another

Peterson situation.

I'm sure you remember the Petersons, Reverend Chauncey.

- I do. - Well, then let's catch

our friend here up to speed.

Good luck with your fishing, gentlemen.

Thank you.

So with that said, I assume you're not from around here.

- No. I'm from Brooklyn.

- Dale Peterson killed himself right over there

by Cedar Point.

- What?

Really? Why?

- Well, rumor has it he just couldn't take it anymore,

but I think he was just tired of fighting.

- Fighting what?

- Sarah Peterson and Carolyn didn't like each other

from the start.

You know, two queens in the kingdom.

But when Dale purchased the yacht

that Moses Britton had been bragging about buying

behind his back, it was on.

- They fought over a boat?

- Yep, and after Dale bought the boat,

the Brittons purchased both the Peterson's mortgages

and threatened foreclosure.

And when that didn't work,

they bankrolled their competitor

and put 'em right out of business.

- That's insane. - [laughs]

That's the Brittons.

This is just business.

But Aunt Carolyn heard that Everett was here and decided

to come by and say hello.

- Carolyn, it's nice to see you.

Are you gonna be down in West Palms this winter?

- Oh, cut the crap, Everett.

Why are you doing this?

You know you're supposed to sell that land back to me.

- Back? What do you mean?

- When Moses and I were first married,

his father was having trouble keeping the bank.

So to help his father, Moses sold the land

to Everett's granddaddy, with a stipulation

that if it was ever sold,

ownership would be offered to the Brittons

at fair market value.

- Is that true?

- That may have been mentioned a time or two.

My grandfather and old man Britton, they were friends.

So they would help each other out from time to time.

- Exactly.

Which is why it had no business being

announced at a community meeting, with what,

just anybody to hear?

You know good and damn well that your father

promised to sell that deed back to us

right before he got sick.

- He may have.

But Carolyn, I'm not my father

or my grandfather.

I have to live off of this estate.

I mean, other than this land and the house

we sold on River Road, you know, Daddy really didn't

leave me much to live on.

- Oh, poor Everett.

Fool, I would have offered you fair market value.

- That's only $4 million.

I'm getting eight, unless of course, you want

to bid a little higher.

I mean, we haven't signed the deed yet, right? So-

- This is exactly what you wanted to happen.

You purposefully created a bidding war.

You manipulative, conniving, little-

- Pot meet kettle.

I guess you'll just have to decide how much this property

really means to the Brittons.

And if it means that much to you,

then I guess you'll have no problem

doing what needs to be done.

Jeffrey, why don't we give Carolyn an extra couple of days

to think about it?

- If that's what you want. Carolyn, I'll walk-

always a pleasure seeing you.

- You too, Clef. Just don't be a stranger.

- I will not be, now that your bestie is Anthony Johnson.

- Mm-hmm. - Big things are goin' on.

- I hear you. Okay. - All right. Hey.

Pleasure, man. Thank you so much.

And listen, I already texted my guy.

We're gonna make sure we get you one of those phone

I just met Wyclef Jean!

Ohh, whoo!

Yo, Vanessa, this was major!

- Mm-hmm. - I don't know how I'm

gonna repay you.

- Well, I mean, the night's still early, and I am starving.

You could buy me dinner,

and then we could hit the after party.

- Oh, I can definitely do that. - All right.

- My treat. - Let's go.

- Yeah. [laughs]

- You should be proud of yourself.

The way you handled that Anthony Johnson

and Sing situation was brilliant.

- [chuckles]

Yeah, it was masterful, wasn't it?

- It was.

And sexy as hell, might I add.

I love a boss who knows his power.

- Not the boss I wanna be yet.

But if I keep following my father's footsteps,

soon coming.

So am I gonna see you this weekend or what?

- I don't think so.

Richard asked me to go to Provincetown this weekend.

- And you're going?

- Yes.

I'm tired of being your little secret.

But let me let you in on a little secret.

Richard proposed to me last week with a ring.

- And what did you say?

And remember, you told me you two weren't that serious.

- The fact that that man loves me and doesn't care who knows

makes me see how serious he is.

- You never answered my question.

What did you say?

- I told him I was coming here for the Fourth of July.

- [sighs]

- And I'd give him an answer when I returned.

His parents love me.

- You can't marry him, Morgan.

You love me.

- You're right.

I do.

But as much as I love you, I'll never have with you

what I can have with him. - Don't say that.

We've got ten years invested in this.

If you're looking for a commitment,

then that's what you'll get.

- Well, we both know that we can't have that.

It's been over ten years, and you haven't even

told your mother about us.

- Then that's what I'll go do right now

if it's gonna stop you from marrying Richard.

I can't lose you, Morgan.

I'm willing to do anything to prove it.

- Malcolm? - Yes.

He's decided to take things to the next level with Morgan.

I'm sorry, and I wanna make things right.

the error in your ways.

getting married this weekend?

Carolyn, I don't know how to-

I don't know how to thank you.

I just wanna see the two of you happy,

No offense, Uncle Martin, but you did it last time,
