- The little twit, Sydney Johnson,

is taking this real personal.

Oh, but she has no idea just how

personal this is about to get.

- No, no, no.

Please don't let this man be dead.

- You can leave and be a broke ass with your Brooklyn boo,

or you could help your brother and me continue

to build the Britton legacy.

Now, your brother, he understands the importance

of keeping up appearances.

- I now pronounce you husband and wife.

- Yeah, I came out here because I have somebody

that I want you to meet.

- Anthony, I must admit, I'm impressed,

which is why I propose that we discuss

a new partnership, Anthony.

- Government dropped all the charges against your husband.

Uncle Moses is free to come home.

- Oh! BTB in the house!

Yo!

- The key is in the car.

- The champ is here!

- All right. OK.

- I said the champ is here!

Come on!

- Wait, isn't that, um--

- Bobby the Beast Boy.

- Yeah?

The middleweight champion of the world?

- At least it looks like.

Ain't anybody else could be that damn arrogant.

- Look at you!

Look at you!

- Now, I know that's not what I think it is.

- You know what it is.

- Come on!

'Bout to go buy some art.

God!

Girl, you look good as shit!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whew!

- Hey, hey.

He ain't worth your time, man.

- ? Pull up, pop out ?

- Hey, Martin.

Why don't we go inside?

All right, the others are waiting.

- What's wrong? You good?

What's wrong?

- Yeah, I'm OK.

I'm just not used to people staring at me.

- Oh, no, baby, they ain't staring at you.

They staring at me.

You know, technically, after all, I am the champ.

[laughs] But don't worry about it.

You will get used to people staring at you.

You're my lady now.

That's what they're supposed to do.

If they wasn't, well, then, I'd be doing something wrong.

You know what I'm saying? - Yeah.

- Mm, I'm going to get you later.

[laughter]

- Yeah. - All right.

- Hey.

I know what you're thinking, but doing

anything wouldn't be in your best

interest or your family's, OK?

You wouldn't want to end up on "Page Six"

doing something stupid.

- I'd listen to her if I were you, Mr. Britton.

Like I said, he's not worth your time.

[light percussive music]

? ?

- All right, come on. Let's go.

Let's go.

That's a little something for you.

- Thank you. - You take care of that.

- Most definitely. - My man, I appreciate you.

Baby!

? ?

- Hey, Dad.

What do you think about this one?

Tania said it caught her eye. What about you?

- I don't know, son.

Let's ask your Uncle Martin.

He's the art expert.

What do you think?

Mother said not to come home empty-handed.

Is this the one?

- Karon, let's be clear.

Everything here is amazing.

But, um, I don't think this is the one that we came here for.

As you know, our tastes vary vastly when it comes to art,

among other things, too.

- True.

My mother didn't minor in art.

You did.

This is the perfect time to purchase the winning

investment that we can display in our new

Westchester offices.

- Well, see, if that's the case,

I know just the one that will make us a real brand.

- That's what I like to hear.

- And it's a Britton thing, baby.

- Lead the way, baby bro. - Come on, now.

- Excuse us.

[birds chirping]

- Mrs. Britton, your guest has arrived at the gate.

- Oh, great.

Please show him in.

And afterwards, Dominic, you may take

the rest of the day off.

[sighs] This shit better work.

[light music]

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Lookit here.

- Yeah, Bobby, this is my sister, Sydney.

- Hi. - Hey.

- And this is my brother-in-law, Anthony.

Syd, Anthony, this is Bobby--

- We know who this is.

Bobby the Beast Boy.

Respect, champ!

- Please, why don't you call me Bobby?

Champ seems so formal in front of family, you know?

- Well, you met my wife.

This is my right-hand man, Mike D.

- Hey, man.

It's a pleasure, brother.

- Mike D, nice to meet you, too.

Nice to meet you, too. Now, wait a second now.

I thought you said this was your older sister.

That's what you said to me. Oh, Lord.

- Yes.

- This woman could be your twin.

- Oh.

Well, you know, I hit the gym, you know.

You know, moisturize.

- OK, well, you keep doing that.

[laughs] Keep doing that.

- Well, we're about to go shop for some Black art.

- I promised your sister a little commission

if she could find a piece for my place out in Vegas.

- We're gonna find some pieces.

- We're gonna find pieces!

- Pieces.

- She talkin' about multiple commissions.

Come on, girl. Trying to get all my money.

Come on. - Bye.

- Bye.

- Nice to meet you.

- My man.

- I thought you said she was with Martin Britton.

- Oh, they broke up.

Thank God.

- That's one hell of a rebound, dude,

if I ever seen one What's he worth?

Like, what, 150 mil?

- Easy.

- You know my sister.

She never stays down long, OK?

But I got to admit, I'm pretty impressed.

- I need a drink.

- [laughs]

- I don't know if we're going to be able to take her on.

- Now, see, this magnificent piece right here,

my brother, this is the one we need to invest in.

I mean, look at it.

It speaks for itself.

It's called "Freedom."

- Mm.

- Look at the combinations of the color.

This is the one.

That my style bank.

- I'll admit, I like it.

But are you sure?

It says the bidding starts at 40K.

This ain't no cheap piece, Martin.

- Yeah, and we may pay upwards of 100K, but I guarantee you

that we'll double, maybe triple our money in about two years

with this painting.

All right?

And not only is Adora Sinclair fine as shit,

but she's the future of pan-African art as well, man.

- OK.

This is the one.

But 100K is going to cut into half our budget for tonight.

- Money well spent.

[chuckling]

We're taking this home.

- I see. - [chuckles]

[phone buzzes]

- Oh, that's beautiful.

- I have to take this.

- Jeffery, come on now.

- It's important.

- Jeffery.

- I will be outside if you need me.

- [sighs]

- [laughs] Wow, Mrs. Britton.

You look amazing.

- Thank you.

I was going to that charity art auction,

but this is far more important.

- You're stunning.

- Thank you for coming, Christopher.

Dominic, you may leave.

Thank you.

- Well, you know how it is.

You call, I come.

And plus, my mother, she sends her regards.

- Well, I hope that I see her out here this summer.

And how are the renovations on the home going?

- Slow.

[laughs] You know how these Hampton contractors are.

They're all overpriced, and they

always try to double book.

I'm pretty sure we're six months behind and at least

30% over budget, but what the hell can you do?

- Oh, tell me about it.

It took us almost a year just to renovate

this wing of the house.

[sighs]

- Well, it looks fantastic.

- Thank you.

Please, have a seat.

- Thank you.

- So, Christopher, I haven't seen

you since we bumped into each other at Aspen last year.

And I do believe you were chasing

my chief of staff, Kimberly?

- No, I believe that's the other way around.

I actually had my eye on someone else.

- Oh. - Yeah.

- Well, you are a strapping young man.

You probably nailed it.

- We had fun, Mrs. Britton.

- Oh, I'm sure you did.

- Yeah.

- Are you a cognac man like your father?

- Not as much as my father, but yes,

I definitely love a good nightcap.

- Good.

I want you to try this.

I think you'll like it.

- Thank you.

Cheers.

- Cheers.

- Wow.

Yeah.

That is smooth.

- Mm-hmm.

- [chuckles] Let me guess.

Remy Martin.

Louis XIII if I'm not mistaken.

- Yes.

So indeed, indeed, you are a connoisseur like your father.

- [chuckles] No.

Actually, I'm more of a connoisseur

of curiosity, Mrs. Britton.

Because when we spoke on the phone,

you mentioned that you had work for me.

So is this a business meeting, or is it just social?

- I'm in need of legal counsel that doesn't mind

getting their hands dirty.

And everybody knows that Johnson LLP

has the reputation of getting

the job done, no matter what.

- How are you, - Anthony, how are you?

- I would say welcome to the Hamptons,

but I got a feeling you know a lot more people

out here than we do.

How are things?

- Well, it's a pleasure being here.

- Yes, sir, same here.

- I don't think you've formally met my son Aries.

You've been communicating. - Oh, yeah.

OK. Absolutely.

- Anthony. - Yes, sir.

- Pleasure to meet you. - Ant AJ.

Ant Boogie, you know.

We know we clean up. We keep it real.

- I like that.

- [laughs] Hey, man.

IPO, baby.

- Hey.

- [laughs] Big things. - Yes, absolutely.

- All right. Talk to you later.

[laughs]

- I like this guy.

- So what did he just say?

- I have no idea.

But what do you think about that painting?

Should we bid on it?

- Go for it.

- All right. - And you owe money.

[laughter]

[upbeat percussive music]

- No, no, my budget is less than that today.

So don't even think about it.

Now hold on, baby.

I'll be right back. OK?

- All right.

- All right, excuse me.

- Hey, lady.

Excuse me.

? ?

- What's up with that?

- With what?

- Why is Vanessa Britton all in your husband's face

like that?

I mean, wasn't she the one that he was with the night

he was drugged, right?

- Mm-hmm.

That's her.

- Well, come on, let's go fuck her up.

- OK. Hold on. Come on.

- No, let's go. - No, for real.

No, stop, stop.

Because they just over there talking business.

I mean, my husband knows what he has at home, OK?

And Miss Thing there just got married,

so I ain't tripping about her, and neither should you.

- Your man, your problem, but something don't seem right.

Trust me.

You know what?

Let me mind my business and go find my man

for some random thing that they could just come up

and start talking business with him.

You know what?

Yeah.

I'll be back.

[indistinct chatter]

He saw you. He freaked out.

- Well, I thank you, Mrs. Britton,

for that vote of confidence.

But I also happen to know that you

already have competent legal representation

in Jeffery Bowen.

He's been your family lawyer for, what, years now, right?

- Yes, Jeffery represents Amistad Bank and Trust,

but I need personal representation.

- Are you in some type of legal jeopardy, Mrs. Britton?

- No, not at the moment.

But there is something that I need

you to deal with concerning the court system.

- Let me guess.

This has something to do with your husband's

legal situation, right?

- It does.

- I'm not going to lie to you, Mrs. Britton.

I wish that you and Moses would have came to me

as soon as he got indicted.

Like I said, Jeffery is a very competent lawyer when it comes

to real estate and banking, but when it comes down to getting

dirty, we are the best.

But I'm just afraid that it may be a little too little,

too late, and I'm so sorry.

- I know that.

And that is exactly why you are here.

But it's not for what you think.

[tense piano music]

? ?

- I'm at an event with my wife.

And it's really not a good time.

[sighs]

Yeah, OK.

Yes.

[sighs] I have to go back to the house

to send off a motion.

It's time-sensitive, and it's an emergency.

- An emergency, Jeffery?

The auction hasn't even started, and we just got here.

- I know, and I will try to be back before the auction ends.

- Jeffery.

- Leslie, this is important.

I'll be back.

Excuse me, here.

- Oh! - Oh!

- Oh.

I am so sorry.

Are you OK?

I'm so sorry. - Sorry.

Uh, it's fine. - Are you OK?

- Yes, I'm fine.

Thank you.

- You're Leslie Bowen, right?

The real estate agent.

- Yes, I am.

Have we met?

- No, not officially.

I've been in town a few days, and I've seen

your picture on your signs.

I have to admit, you are even more beautiful in person.

- [laughs] OK.

Thank you, Mister--

- Cora.

Aries Cora.

- Oh. Any relation to Alexander?

- My father.

- Mm, OK.

Uh, well, it was very nice meeting you, Aries.

And I'm going to go call my husband.

- Uh... - Enjoy the auction.

- Do you have a business card?

I'm actually in the market for a new home.

- Oh, yes, absolutely.

How soon are you looking to buy?

- As soon as possible.

- OK, well, my husband and I are going sailing tomorrow.

But if you're free this weekend,

I would love to talk and start the process.

- Perfect.

I'll give you a call tomorrow.

- Great. Sounds good.

Enjoy.

- [laughs] She's pretty, isn't she?

- Very.

That woman is marrying material.

- Too bad she's already married.

- [laughs] For now.

None of us know what the future holds.

Like, I didn't know I was buying

a home a few minutes ago.

- Touch�, my brother.

- Touch�.

- This piece is called "Galaxy Shift."

You know, we're just living in a world that's constantly

shifting, changing, evolving.

And so, when I think of the galaxy, when I think of space,

it just brings me a sense of peace.

So it's like me trying to find the peace within the shift,

within the chaos, you know?

- You totally nailed it.

It's fantastic. - Thank you.

Thank you.

- The color palette is stunning.

- Thank you. Thank you, thank you.

It's abstract, but I think some people will connect with it.

- Oh, absolutely.

- I'll show you the rest of the pieces.

- Mm, awesome.

- OK.

- [indistinct].

Hmm.

What you think?

- This is kind of dope.

- Yeah.

- It has like a masculine feel, but nothing

that a woman can't appreciate. - Yeah.

- Mm-hmm.

- I can feel that. - Yeah.

- I got to admit, though, it's speaking to me, you know?

I think it's the colors, right?

It'd look perfect in my Vegas spot.

- Then you definitely should get it.

- Oh, I got to have this.

- And maybe add like the light or something,

like, to, like, really--

- Interesting.

You know, I was thinking of bidding on this piece myself.

It'd be a great addition to the collection that I already own.

- Oh, yeah?

Mm, I don't know about that, my man.

You might want to look at some of these other paintings.

This one?

This one mine.

- Yeah, I don't think so, because I want this one.

- Fighting for what I want, man--

that's what I do for a living.

And I ain't never lost.

- First time for everything. You heard that, right?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

You might want to ask your friend, because this art

world is my area.

- Mm. - Yeah.

- Excuse me.

I just want to let you know that bidding

will start in three minutes.

Please take your seats. - All right.

Thank you. - Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Appreciate it.

Appreciate it.

Hope you brought enough money, my man.

I got like 300K right here.

I'm about to pay for this thing on the spot.

- [laughs] You wanna talk money, huh?

This is who you came with?

That's cute.

But listen, my man.

I own a damn bank, all right?

I don't need to carry cash around.

I can write a check for way more than what you

got in that little-ass bag.

Trust me.

See you in the auction.

- Do you even know who that was?

- I don't give a shit who that was.

I'm Bobby the Beast.

That's all that matters.

And I want this painting. - This is pretty.

- This?

- Yeah, worth every penny.

- Well, hello. - Hey.

- Hey. - Hi.

- How are you?

- Thank you so much for coming.

You look absolutely stunning.

- Thank you so much for the invite.

- You're welcome.

- Thanks to you. - Thank you.

Thank you.

- You're pretty in pink.

- Do you mind if I speak to your dad just for a minute?

- Of course.

I'm going to go get a snack.

- All right, excuse us.

- [laughs] Oh, my God.

She's beautiful.

- I know.

Adorable.

I can't believe it.

- Are we still on for Monday?

- Absolutely.

Matter of fact, we better be, because Alexander is very

confident about things moving quickly,

in the next six months even.

So we need to make sure we have our ducks in a row.

And let's be prepared,

because the phones arrive tomorrow.

- Yes.

That is music to my ears.

- So am I wrong to assume that you

still haven't told your family about our

business relationship?

I mean, given the history between the Brittons

and the Johnsons, it's probably best that we

keep this close to the vest.

- No worries.

Let's just say this is my insurance

policy in case my marriage is short-lived again.

- I don't know how you people do it.

I don't envy you.

I really don't, Vanessa.

I mean, I don't think that keeping secrets,

especially a secret like this, is the best

way to start a marriage.

- All right, well, don't get me wrong.

I mean, I do--

I love my husband, but let's just

say that this isn't the first time I've been

married to Malcolm Britton.

- Touch�.

- OK, I'll talk to you later.

[light piano music]

? ?

- Morgan.

- Hello, Malcolm.

You're looking well.

How are the wife and kid?

- What are you doing here?

Shouldn't you be on your honeymoon?

- Things didn't work out.

He wanted me to sign a prenup.

I'm better than that.

- So you two broke up?

Why didn't you call me?

- Like I said, I'm better than that.

Why would I jump off a sinking ship to jump onto another one?

You went and got married on me, Malcolm,

without a phone call or a damn explanation.

You don't think that hurt?

I had to read about it on "Page Six."

- I know.

I know.

It was wrong and insensitive, but--

- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, save your buts.

I'm good.

And I'm very content with my new beau.

- New beau?

What new beau?

- Hello, Malcolm.

- Everett.

I wasn't aware you two knew each other.

- We met on the vineyard.

I was trying to play hard to get,

but Everett here is very persistent.

Well, when you meet the right one, you have to jump on it.

You know, I can't think of anyone I would rather spend

my long, hot summer days with, or my warm,

humid summer nights with.

- Ev, we should hurry and get to our seats.

You promised to win me that painting, remember?

- [laughs] How could I forget?

Oh, and congratulations, Malcolm.

I mean, you are a very, very lucky man.

Vanessa is a lovely woman...

if you're into that sort of thing.

[tense piano music]

? ?

[light funky music]

- I just won.

- Yeah, and spent half a fucking

million dollars doing it.

Mom's gonna kill us, man.

- True, but to be honest, it might be worth it.

- You're welcome.

Excuse me, Martin.

I have someone I want you to meet.

Adora Sinclair, this is Martin Britton, the gentleman

who just bought your painting.

- Nice to meet you, Adora.

I'm Martin.

I'm a big fan of your work.

- Oh.

Well, thank you for your support and your purchase.

- My pleasure.

- I was just telling Adora that we were taking the boat

over tonight to Block Island.

- Oh, yeah, yeah, we are.

Would you care to join?

- I'd love to.

- All right.

So, um, let's get the car.

[phone buzzing]

- I take it that the auction is over

and this is my heads-up.

- Kind of.

I just wanted to tell you that the boys, Vanessa,

and Tania are headed over to the yacht for the remainder

of the night.

- Oh, really?

Now that's interesting.

Are you sure about that?

- I am.

I'm actually on the boat now waiting for them.

We're going to sail over to Block Island.

- Mm, good.

Well, thanks for letting me know.

- So I guess that's my cue to leave.

It's been fun.

But let's not wait another nine months to do this again, huh?

- Who said anything about you leaving?

We still have work to do, and tonight

is still way too young.

[light piano music]

? ?

Now get your ass in this tub.

- Yes, ma'am.

? ?

- Hmm.

? ?

[laughs]

[sensual music]

- Yes, I am on the way.

I will be there.

? ?

Well, damn.

Well, this is very, very tempting, but I can't.

- What do you mean, you can't?

- I have a very important appointment

that I have to attend.

I'm already late.

- What appointment, Jeffery?

- It's with a client, a very special client.

- More special than me?

- Well...

[laughs]

- Did you forget what today is?

Damn it, Jeffery.

We've been using this fertility app for three months now,

and now you're going to act like you

don't know what today is?

- I must have missed the alert, baby.

I'm sorry.

- Fine, just alert your clients,

and let them know that you need to reschedule.

Because your appointment with me is more important.

- Oh, it is. It is. But I can't.

It's not like that. I can't call.

I can't reschedule.

- Are you fucking kidding me right now?

- Leslie, do not be like that.

You know some things are attorney-client privilege.

All right, I already told you I have to go.

Now I will be back in a few hours.

And I promise you I'll bring a smile to your face

when I return.

- Jeffery, do I need to remind you that you're the one that's

talking about having a baby?

- And I want that, OK, as well as everything

else that we have dreamed of.

But that means that I have to put in the work,

not just here at home, but also on the job.

OK, and I need for you to understand that, Leslie.

- No.

I am trying to prioritize us and expand our family.

And in order for me to do that,

you are required to participate.

I can't have this baby by myself.

- You're overreacting.

- Jeffery.

Jeffery.

[sighs] Shit.

[light funky music]

? ?

- [gasp] Ooh, look.

Ooh, this is a good one right here.

We look like a real power couple.

? ?

Malcolm, are you listening to me?

Malcolm!

- [sighs] I'm sorry, baby.

Mother is going to kill me when she finds out how

much I spent on this painting.

- OK, kill is a little bit dramatic,

but yeah, things are definitely going to get ugly.

But I don't know.

Maybe, maybe we'll get lucky and Carolyn will just not ask.

- What, are you delusional?

This is my mother we're talking about.

And half a million dollars is not a drop in the bucket,

even to a family who owns a bank.

- Oh, honey.

You're gonna not be happy when you see this.

She's definitely gonna know by the time you get home.

- Jesus Christ.

- All right, perhaps you should just fall on your sword,

take what is coming to you, and be done with it.

- [sighs] I don't think I have any other choice.

- [sighs]

- So, what do you have on your agenda

for the rest of the day?

- Oh, well, I am running errands,

and then I have a meeting later this morning.

- You seem to be taking a lot of meetings lately.

- Mm-hmm.

- Care to tell me what's going on?

- No, not yet.

But I am working on something very promising

that I think you will be impressed with

and might just bring a huge client

to the bank in the process.

Mm-hmm.

- Sounds interesting.

- Oh, yeah, very.

What's your agenda?

- Well, first order of business is to deal with Mother.

And if that doesn't take all day,

I'll probably spend the rest of the day

at our Hamptons branch.

- OK, I'm gonna go up top and make some coffee

and get my day started.

- OK.

- Love you.

- Love you back.

- Don't worry.

Mother isn't gonna kill you.

- From your mouth to God's ears.

- [laughs]

[light funky music]

? ?

- Come on.

- Give me your glass.

Yes.

- Yes, yes, yes, yes.

- Cheers to us. - To us.

- And we time!

[indistinct chatter]

- Mmm!

- All right. - Mmm.

- I told your ass.

- I told you, too.

- Oh.

Hey, Ma, I'm going to catch you later.

I'm going to go hang out with Mya and them.

- OK.

- Love you. - Mwah!

Hey, y'all be safe.

- Will do.

- Hey, y'all! I'm here!

- How are you? - I'm good.

How are you?

- Hey, what's the mood for this weekend, sis?

- Uh, I don't know.

You tell me.

What are you thinking?

- How about a bonfire?

- Ooh. - A bonfire.

- Yeah. - That sounds--

- See, I knew y'all would like that one.

All right, so look, bonfire Saturday.

I need each and every one of y'all there.

- Yes. Hey, don't worry.

I'm gonna get the drinks.

- Ooh, and I'll bring snacks.

- Simone, are you going to come get me?

- Yeah, I got you. - We'll be there.

- Actually, I'll be down by your side.

I'll bring you over.

- OK.

Well, you better keep your word.

- She say that boy better keep his word!

[laughter]

- There's Sydney right there. - Oh, come on over.

Come join us. - Hey, lady.

- Hey.

I wasn't going to intrude, because I

didn't bring anything.

- Oh, girl, you're fine.

I mean, we got plenty to sip on, as you can see.

- There is more than enough,

and we'd love to have you join us.

So, please.

- We love it, baby.

- I feel it only appropriate to serve

this week's sip and spill with a toast to welcome our guest.

Sydney, welcome to the beach circle.

- Welcome.

- Well, thank you.

Oh, this is good.

- Uh-huh.

- It's real good.

So you guys do this every week? - Yeah.

- Yeah. - Pretty much.

I like to call it our special we time.

Right, girls?

- We get together, swap wine, and spill the tea.

Respectfully, of course.

- Of course.

- She's back?

I thought she was going to sell the house after she won it

in that settlement, especially after she

found out about the side chick, him being all up in there.

Or she doesn't give her mother in Boston.

- Right. - Yeah.

Hey, Brenda.

- Hey, girl.

- Good to see you.

Wanna join us?

- No, thanks.

I'm fine.

Why don't you-- you ladies just enjoy.

- It's, so, so, so sad.

I feel sorry for her.

- Girl, why?

She got everything in the settlement,

plus alimony check.

Listen, Bill is the real loser.

Lost half his money, and his affair with Britton 2.0

didn't even last a year.

- Britton 2.0?

- Oh, girl, you didn't know?

Vanessa Britton's nickname.

Child.

They call her that because she done remarried

about three or four times, but somehow

always remains a Britton.

Child, where they do that at?

- I mean, you gotta hold on to your man

when that one's around.

- Wait, didn't she just remarry Malcolm Britton?

- Mm-hmm.

I'm still trying to figure out that shit.

Kelly can't stand her ass.

- Oh, honey, she's scandalous as hell.

But I must admit, she does bring the best wine

when she comes to the beach.

- Oh, yes, because that Chateau Mouton Rothschild

was amazing last week!

Wasn't it?

- I mean, who else brings $600 bottles straight from France?

Not you.

- You're right.

It ain't me.

However, I did make us something a little stronger

to sip on this week straight from my secret stash.

Ha-ha-ha!

- Ooh!

- Ooh.

- Girl, is that Martell?

- It sure is.

See, I bring my stuff, too, OK?

And I don't got to sleep with your man

and go with him to France to get it.

- Melissa, that is not nice.

We've got a guest.

- Mm-hmm.

- And she should know that as good-looking as her

husband is, she needs to keep him far,

far away from that woman.

Better we let her know now.

- Yeah, well, thanks for the heads-up, ladies.

But that's the one thing I'm not

concerned about, my man stepping

outside of my marriage.

- Mm.

- There's not anything that Vanessa Britton's

skinny ass or any other woman has

that my man wants.

- OK.

All right.

- You sound just as confident as Brenda did until she found

out Bill and Vanessa had been sleeping

together for over a year.

- Now, you know what they always say.

The wife is always the last to know,

because that Brenda never saw it coming.

- But we did. - Ah! Ah! But we did!

- Yes, we did. - Cheers, ladies.

- Yes.

- [sighs]

[light percussive music]

? ?

What's good, man?

Is Sydney here?

- Um, no.

She's out on the beach somewhere hanging out.

What's up with you?

Why are you acting all weird, man?

What's up?

- Man, we got a problem.

- Like what?

What's going on?

- These phones don't work.

- Come on, man.

- None of them work.

- Mine's working just fine.

- That's because yours isn't from the latest shipment.

Now that last shipment of semiconductors

we got from Korea, all of them are faulty.

All of them!

- All right.

You're kidding me.

Mike, that's 100,000 phones, bro.

I mean, it would take weeks to remanufacture them.

You know we got to tell Cora.

- No the hell we don't.

We don't have to tell him nothing.

- Mike, he's our business partner in this.

All right, this is definitely going

to impact our bottom line, and not to mention Aries

is putting together final paperwork

for additional investors.

We need Cora.

- I probably should have told you this before,

but you had already signed the deal,

and things were moving pretty smooth.

But did you do any due diligence

before entering into this partnership with Cora?

- Maybe you forgot.

This partnership with Alexander Cora

basically saved our company from sure bankruptcy

and financial ruin.

I mean, what kind of due diligence

was really necessary?

We didn't have the time.

And it's Alexander Cora.

Everybody knows who Alexander Cora is.

- Listen to me, Anthony.

Folks know that Alexander Cora, he wants them to know.

But from what I hear, our new business partner is

not one to take bad news well.

- What's that mean?

You think he'll pull out of the deal?

- My brother, him pulling out of the deal

might be the least of our worries.

[tense music]

? ?

- Attorney Bowen.

- Yes, sir.

- You're here to pick up Moses Britton, huh?

- That I am.

- Too bad he's not being released this morning, though.

? ?

- What the hell is going on?

? ?

You told me I would be released today.

Why am I still here?

- You were supposed to be released.

I was assured that you were going to be released today,

but according to the administrator,

there was some kind of mix-up with the paperwork.

- Mix-up?

You mean I'm sitting here for a typo?

How is that even possible?

Get me the fuck out of here, Jeffery!

- I am doing everything I can,

but I can't get the attorney general on the phone

to get this fixed today.

But you got to know that I'm working on it,

and you won't have to be in here much longer.

- I shouldn't be in here at all.

- I know.

But you're gonna need to sit tight

for another day, maybe two, but that is it.

- This is some bullshit.

- You're right.

But I can't do anything about it until I get the U.S.

attorney on the phone and get this all straightened out,

which I will.

I'll be in touch.

- Yeah, I'm not holding my breath.

- [knocking]

- Jeffery...

this has Carolyn written all over it.

[tense music]

? ?

- ? I promise you all that pushing, all that fighting ?

? All that running, all that climbing ?

? It won't be, it won't be, it won't be for nothing ?

? I promise you all that pushing, all that fighting ?

? All that running, all that climbing ?

? It won't be, it won't be, it won't be for nothing ?

? For nothing, nothing, yeah ?

? Hey, give it to me ?

? Hey, hey, give it to me ?

? Hey, hey, give it to me ?

? Hey, hey, hey, give it to me, yeah, yeah ?

? Give it to me ?

? Hey, give it to me ?

? Hey, hey ?
