Medic!
Black male, 26, cardiac arrest.
Patient's heart stopped. Continuing CPR.
En route to Help the Heart Hospital.
Three minutes out. - Copy.
DDM 47.

And if they find out that we were street racing--
Carlton, he's bluffing.
Okay? No one's gonna find out.
Morning, y'all. all: Morning.
Big day. Let's get into it.
Everything we're doing is in preparation
for our culminating event, Investor Day.
That's where you get the opportunity
to get in front of the moneymakers
that can take your businesses to the next level.
Starr, how are you looking with the wastewater nonprofit?
Almost done forming my advisory board.
I'm thinking of asking a certain duchess
whose name rhymes with Beggin' Barkle.
Okay, feelin' that.
If that's what you want, go for it.
Will, Carlton.
Step up to the plate, young bloods.
[clears throat] Well...
we present to you all
our lifestyle brand, Blackccess.
It's a term we coined which stands for "Black access."
It's for those who have the chance to dream big...
And for those who have the access to make it happen.
So we did some street marketing downtown.
You know, not to toot our own horns,
but people were really liking the concept,
especially the part where 50% of our profits
will go to Black-owned businesses.
Okay, we love the message.
Anybody got any comments, questions?
What's your cost per goods?
Our average cost per shirt is $6.50 wholesale.
We're gonna be selling these bad boys
for, like, 40, 50 a pop.
[chuckles] Look, feel this.
That's luxury right there, my boy.
Embroidery is about $1.75 per shirt,
plus another $0.50 for packaging.
What's your CPA?
Oh, like an accountant? [laughter]
Cost per acquisition.
- CPA. - I-I got this, Will.
With T-shirt sales looking to rise 3%
in the next five years, we think we can get
a cost per acquisition of under $10.
You know, we know the market's there.
We just need to capitalize on it.
Exactly.
Okay.
So T-shirt prototypes is cool,
but how are we looking with real inventory
so you could get some cash flow going?
Well, actually, we've run into some inven--
Yeah, our product will be here, like, any day.
So when we know, you will know.
Okay, you gotta do a little better than that.
Because the goal is for everyone
to have businesses up and running and profitable
by the end of the summer.
Clock is ticking.
Dante.
So I'm working on a new device
that can translate over--
So what's up with our shirts, man?
I hit your boy up a couple times.
Haven't heard back.
That is Tony.
He just don't be texting like that.
Who doesn't text? Man, I need an update, Jazz.
Yeah, you're probably not gonna get that.
Why not?
Bro, it's called a hookup.
He's already advancing the shirts he has on credit.
Well, that's because we don't have
any startup capital for inventory.
Which, again, I'm sure my dad would be
more than happy to provide.
Look, I already told you-- no handouts from Uncle Phil.
Another unilateral decision made by you,
just like the car racing and with Frederick.
- You're still on that? - Yes, I am.
Look, this is easy for you
because your ass isn't the one on the line.
It was your decision to drag him
out with us to the car race.
And in fact, all your decisions lately
have been leading to pretty bad places.
Carlton, can we focus on the business?
Oh, right. Yeah, I'm sorry.
You mean the advanced shirts with no clear arrival time
from bootleg Tony who doesn't know how to use a cell phone?
Dude, Tony, he just works on his own time, okay?

Thank y'all for rescuing me tonight.
- That's what we're here for. - Mm-hmm.
Ooh, and I needed it.
I just haven't had the energy to even talk to Phil.
Well, you can't talk to your husband about everything.
I also don't have the energy to do anything else
with Phil either.
How long has it been?
Two months.
And until I feel trust again, I'm just not feeling it.
Take your time.
I thought we were over all the dumb shit in our marriage.
But here I am,
arguing with my husband over another woman.
Wait, how come I don't remember
this chick from Howard?
Because you never went to class.
[laughter]
Wait, what's her last name?
Baker.
Erika "bitch-ass" Baker.
Sounds like she needs her bitch ass whupped.
Where she live at?
[laughter]
[sighs]
All marriages go through rough patches.
Hmm.
Posing on Instagram.
Meanwhile, shit's falling apart in the background.
Mm-hmm.
But just keep smiling
and show up for work and show up for your family.
Hold up. I found two Erika Bakers in LA.
She live downtown?
- That's her. - Bingo.
Let's roll up.
That's right.
Let's go bust up some shit.
So how come we're not moving?
Yo, I can't even feel my feets.
[laughter] I can't even feel my feet.
That part.
I don't know how we gonna get there.
Oh, God.
I'll beat her up next week. [laughter]
- I wish I wore-- - Can she come to us?
Girl. [laughter]

Home with ten minutes to spare.
I haven't missed it yet, and I don't plan to.
It's not gone unnoticed.
G, actually, um, do you have a sec?
Always.
The other night, when you picked us all up...
We were street racing.
I was sober,
but the pressure to keep spinning lies,
it feels like the old me,
and I don't wanna go back to that place.
It takes a big man
to come clean on his own accord.
[soft music]
Also... [sighs]
I don't wanna come between you and Frederick, but--
You leave Frederick to me.

It isn't.

What's up?
Look, if we're gonna be partners,

Yeah, or this whole thing's over before we even started.
I mean, you're already boardroom ready.
Uncle Phil had you buying stock when you were in diapers.
You know, I was inconsolable when I learned
LEGO was a privately-held company.

I'm playing catch-up, but I'll get there.
Trust me.
