1
00:00:00,195 --> 00:00:01,840
previously on queen sugar...
2
00:00:02,004 --> 00:00:04,470
I'm just afraid that he's
gonna be able to track us down here.
3
00:00:04,628 --> 00:00:06,562
I've been where you've been.
4
00:00:06,747 --> 00:00:09,480
We're not gonna be able
to hide away in a cabana.
5
00:00:09,505 --> 00:00:11,756
Then maybe it's time
we tell the family.
6
00:00:11,858 --> 00:00:13,402
I'm billie denton,
prosper's daughter.
7
00:00:13,426 --> 00:00:15,320
she says that
I can't visit prosper.
8
00:00:15,344 --> 00:00:17,428
Not at the hospital
or at the house.
9
00:00:17,513 --> 00:00:19,491
look, we may
not be prosper's blood,
10
00:00:19,515 --> 00:00:20,981
but we are family.
11
00:00:21,067 --> 00:00:22,067
And you owe me.
12
00:00:22,168 --> 00:00:24,001
You are having a little girl.
13
00:00:24,103 --> 00:00:25,336
Yeah.
14
00:00:25,438 --> 00:00:27,850
You're gonna love your baby
girl better than I loved mine.
15
00:00:27,874 --> 00:00:30,194
it ain't over till
it's over, mr. Prosper.
16
00:00:32,612 --> 00:00:34,089
- oh.
- hey, hey.
17
00:00:36,249 --> 00:00:39,283
I can do it, it's just
making too much fuss.
18
00:00:39,368 --> 00:00:41,930
a few more weeks of physical
therapy and you'll be good as new.
19
00:00:41,954 --> 00:00:43,599
no, better than new.
20
00:00:43,623 --> 00:00:46,068
Gonna have to put up a fist to
keep the ladies away, right?
21
00:00:46,092 --> 00:00:49,009
You gave us quite
a scare, prosper.
22
00:00:49,095 --> 00:00:51,023
ah, that's
just the first round.
23
00:00:51,047 --> 00:00:53,130
He'll come back like ali, huh?
24
00:00:53,232 --> 00:00:54,765
you look good.
25
00:00:54,867 --> 00:00:56,033
Mmm.
26
00:00:56,135 --> 00:00:57,601
welcome, baby.
27
00:00:58,221 --> 00:00:59,804
Can I get you anything?
28
00:00:59,889 --> 00:01:01,272
no, I'm fine.
29
00:01:02,608 --> 00:01:05,204
Unless you got some of
that pecan pie with you.
30
00:01:07,613 --> 00:01:11,198
I told hollywood that
you were gonna want some.
31
00:01:11,284 --> 00:01:13,534
I got you.
32
00:01:13,619 --> 00:01:16,787
Yeah, you know, I wish I could
see your face behind that mask.
33
00:01:16,906 --> 00:01:19,573
I can feel the love,
though. Yeah, thank you.
34
00:01:31,771 --> 00:01:33,170
hey.
35
00:01:35,091 --> 00:01:36,390
how are you?
36
00:01:36,476 --> 00:01:39,009
This can't be easy
for either of you,
37
00:01:39,095 --> 00:01:41,345
stepping into these new roles.
38
00:01:41,430 --> 00:01:43,564
He's so open with your family.
39
00:01:43,649 --> 00:01:45,716
just
give it some time.
40
00:01:45,818 --> 00:01:48,652
When you're in chicago,
all he talks about is you.
41
00:01:48,771 --> 00:01:52,690
And when I'm here, all he
talks about is the bordelons.
42
00:01:52,775 --> 00:01:55,855
then there's love
on both sides of the equation.
43
00:01:58,614 --> 00:02:01,765
Just think about
this as a do-over,
44
00:02:01,868 --> 00:02:05,503
you know, a chance to make
it what you want it to be.
45
00:02:10,009 --> 00:02:12,187
I'm so glad to see
you out of that hospital.
46
00:02:12,211 --> 00:02:13,331
yeah. Me, too.
47
00:02:13,379 --> 00:02:15,713
Yeah, counting my blessings.
48
00:02:15,798 --> 00:02:19,133
Keep thinking about all those
people that couldn't come home.
49
00:02:19,802 --> 00:02:22,502
Amen. Too much pain this year.
50
00:02:23,356 --> 00:02:25,806
But you waking up
was a ray of light.
51
00:02:27,310 --> 00:02:30,060
Keep shining on us, okay?
52
00:02:30,146 --> 00:02:32,780
I intend to. You
know, I intend to.
53
00:03:11,103 --> 00:03:12,381
- yeah.
- ooh.
54
00:03:13,856 --> 00:03:15,334
- oh, baby.
- hey, baby.
55
00:03:15,358 --> 00:03:17,002
oh, is this
all for my grand opening?
56
00:03:17,026 --> 00:03:18,837
We're gonna need more
napkins for the ribs.
57
00:03:18,861 --> 00:03:22,363
No, sir. Your supplies are
already boxed up in the back.
58
00:03:22,448 --> 00:03:24,159
What's this big, old
box? Who is it for?
59
00:03:24,183 --> 00:03:27,117
My customers. Stop
being so nosy.
60
00:03:27,203 --> 00:03:29,286
You need to mind
your own business.
61
00:03:29,372 --> 00:03:32,289
Hey, can you pick
up the rentals?
62
00:03:32,375 --> 00:03:34,353
They're reserved
under the real spot.
63
00:03:34,377 --> 00:03:35,759
I'm on it.
64
00:03:35,878 --> 00:03:37,044
I'm on it, I'm on it.
65
00:03:56,649 --> 00:03:58,899
you sure? How low?
66
00:03:58,985 --> 00:04:00,367
really low.
67
00:04:00,453 --> 00:04:03,048
So basically you're saying
both cane hauls is a bust?
68
00:04:03,072 --> 00:04:04,632
- Yeah.
- Damn.
69
00:04:06,158 --> 00:04:07,708
All right.
70
00:04:07,793 --> 00:04:10,044
If you could salvage
anything, I appreciate it.
71
00:04:10,129 --> 00:04:11,629
Will do.
72
00:04:11,747 --> 00:04:13,907
- see you in a minute.
- yep.
73
00:04:14,433 --> 00:04:16,133
You okay, ralph?
74
00:04:16,252 --> 00:04:18,302
What's up with
them arbitrations?
75
00:04:18,421 --> 00:04:19,448
Some of us ain't gonna make it
76
00:04:19,472 --> 00:04:21,316
if those remedy checks
don't come in soon.
77
00:04:21,340 --> 00:04:23,507
Look, if you need anything, I...
78
00:04:23,592 --> 00:04:25,570
- you know, right?
- It's a little deeper than that, charley.
79
00:04:25,594 --> 00:04:27,811
We wouldn't be in this
mess without the usda.
80
00:04:28,748 --> 00:04:30,014
They need to pay up.
81
00:04:31,484 --> 00:04:33,562
hopefully we'll
get some answers today.
82
00:04:33,586 --> 00:04:35,266
- Oh, hi.
- hey.
83
00:04:35,788 --> 00:04:37,165
- What up, there?
- Hi.
84
00:04:37,189 --> 00:04:38,267
- hey.
- what's up?
85
00:04:38,291 --> 00:04:39,918
- hi.
- hi.
86
00:04:39,942 --> 00:04:41,225
hi.
87
00:04:41,327 --> 00:04:43,694
Prosper asked her
to stand in for him.
88
00:04:43,779 --> 00:04:46,591
You know, she be doing her little
real-estate thing in chicago.
89
00:04:46,615 --> 00:04:48,010
Well, I'm just a paralegal,
90
00:04:48,034 --> 00:04:50,312
but I've been helping with
redlining cases for years.
91
00:04:50,336 --> 00:04:52,903
It's all legal
mumbo-jumbo to me.
92
00:04:53,005 --> 00:04:55,600
Good to have somebody who speak
their language on our side.
93
00:04:55,624 --> 00:04:57,602
I just want my daddy's
paperwork to be right.
94
00:04:57,626 --> 00:05:00,746
And if I can help anyone along
the way, I'm happy to do so.
95
00:05:02,114 --> 00:05:03,213
I'll see you inside.
96
00:05:03,332 --> 00:05:05,466
- Nova.
- afternoon.
97
00:05:07,303 --> 00:05:08,635
Don't let her fool you.
98
00:05:08,721 --> 00:05:10,532
She talks a good game,
but you can't trust her.
99
00:05:10,556 --> 00:05:13,307
What I'm not gonna do is get
between y'all little beef.
100
00:05:13,392 --> 00:05:14,675
Come on.
101
00:05:21,851 --> 00:05:23,233
sheriff,
102
00:05:23,853 --> 00:05:25,019
can I help you?
103
00:05:25,805 --> 00:05:26,854
No, ma'am.
104
00:05:27,857 --> 00:05:29,823
Let me be more specific.
105
00:05:29,909 --> 00:05:31,275
What are you doing here?
106
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,827
Oh, we got a call from
a concerned citizen.
107
00:05:33,913 --> 00:05:34,913
about what?
108
00:05:35,031 --> 00:05:36,725
It's a meeting for the
farmers collective.
109
00:05:36,749 --> 00:05:38,499
The black farmers collective.
110
00:05:38,584 --> 00:05:40,529
you're saying black
folk can't have a meeting?
111
00:05:40,553 --> 00:05:42,397
What are you saying, I can't
attend a public meeting
112
00:05:42,421 --> 00:05:44,054
paid for by my tax dollars?
113
00:05:46,042 --> 00:05:47,391
Of course you can.
114
00:05:51,047 --> 00:05:52,496
Of course I can.
115
00:05:55,351 --> 00:05:56,600
what is this, charley?
116
00:05:57,553 --> 00:05:58,936
Feel like a setup.
117
00:06:16,555 --> 00:06:18,555
you want to tell
me what's going on?
118
00:06:35,608 --> 00:06:37,441
hey, celine. It's okay.
119
00:06:38,277 --> 00:06:41,445
He knows. This is
hollywood, my husband.
120
00:06:41,530 --> 00:06:43,363
He wanted to meet you.
121
00:06:43,449 --> 00:06:45,227
Nice to meet you,
mr. Hollywood.
122
00:06:45,251 --> 00:06:48,168
- and who is this?
- Come on.
123
00:06:48,287 --> 00:06:53,156
This is my son gabriel, named
after the angel from the bible.
124
00:06:53,259 --> 00:06:55,442
Are you famous, mr. Hollywood?
125
00:06:55,544 --> 00:06:58,545
I'm famous at tic-tac-toe.
You know what that is?
126
00:06:58,798 --> 00:06:59,996
No, sir.
127
00:07:00,099 --> 00:07:01,598
Oh, we gonna have to fix that.
128
00:07:10,459 --> 00:07:14,111
that is the first time I've
seen my baby smile in weeks.
129
00:07:15,648 --> 00:07:18,031
I sure can't seem to
make him smile anymore.
130
00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:21,685
He will smile again when
you can smile again.
131
00:07:21,787 --> 00:07:24,138
You've got a lot on
your shoulders, baby.
132
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,206
But you're surviving.
133
00:07:26,325 --> 00:07:29,525
Ma'am, I feel like I've been barely
surviving now for over a year.
134
00:07:30,296 --> 00:07:33,080
It just won't let up.
135
00:07:33,182 --> 00:07:35,499
We was all trapped in that house
136
00:07:35,584 --> 00:07:38,218
when greg lost his
job because of covid,
137
00:07:38,337 --> 00:07:42,756
no work for either of us,
no school for gabriel.
138
00:07:42,842 --> 00:07:47,544
I thought, "that man has been
taken his frustrations out on me
139
00:07:47,646 --> 00:07:49,012
since we got married.
140
00:07:50,149 --> 00:07:51,815
I'm getting used to it."
141
00:07:52,852 --> 00:07:54,518
but then,
142
00:07:54,603 --> 00:07:57,688
them little pops in the mouth
turned into fists in my face.
143
00:07:59,108 --> 00:08:01,358
I felt my soul slipping away.
144
00:08:02,027 --> 00:08:03,193
I thought I could take it.
145
00:08:03,279 --> 00:08:05,612
I've been taking it
all these years but...
146
00:08:07,833 --> 00:08:09,449
Ooh, ms. Vi,
147
00:08:09,535 --> 00:08:14,004
the man started taking his
frustrations out on gabriel
148
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,239
and I had to go.
149
00:08:16,876 --> 00:08:19,960
Nobody is hurting my baby.
150
00:08:21,530 --> 00:08:22,880
you're right.
151
00:08:22,965 --> 00:08:26,967
Nobody's hurting your baby and
nobody's hurting you, not anymore.
152
00:08:28,387 --> 00:08:32,756
That's all because you
took a stand for yourself.
153
00:08:32,841 --> 00:08:34,808
You got out of there.
154
00:08:34,894 --> 00:08:40,731
You're smart. You came to a
parish where he don't know folks.
155
00:08:41,534 --> 00:08:43,266
And, baby,
156
00:08:43,369 --> 00:08:46,236
you connected with the
right people, baby.
157
00:08:46,906 --> 00:08:50,574
You are here, you are safe.
158
00:08:51,493 --> 00:08:53,944
And you are going
to get through this
159
00:08:54,046 --> 00:08:57,297
and have a beautiful testimony.
160
00:08:57,416 --> 00:08:58,999
Believe that.
161
00:09:10,095 --> 00:09:12,796
look, I
understand your frustration
162
00:09:12,898 --> 00:09:14,938
and I'll get to all
of your questions.
163
00:09:15,198 --> 00:09:17,531
There's only one
question that matters.
164
00:09:18,187 --> 00:09:20,437
When y'all gonna make
receipts for our claims
165
00:09:20,522 --> 00:09:22,584
and when y'all gonna cut our checks?
that's right.
166
00:09:22,608 --> 00:09:25,253
We have to take every allegation seriously.
mm-hmm.
167
00:09:25,277 --> 00:09:27,088
And that's caused some
unexpected delays.
168
00:09:27,112 --> 00:09:28,907
now we've been
jacked around long enough,
169
00:09:28,931 --> 00:09:30,175
- y'all need to pay us.
- pay us.
170
00:09:30,199 --> 00:09:32,799
Pay us! Pay us! Pay us!
171
00:09:32,901 --> 00:09:36,536
First, you got to be black to
get a vaccine and now this?
172
00:09:36,639 --> 00:09:38,171
Where's our special fund?
173
00:09:38,274 --> 00:09:40,290
okay,
this fund was set up
174
00:09:40,376 --> 00:09:42,709
to cover generational
discrimination.
175
00:09:42,795 --> 00:09:45,295
Seems like it's about
reparations to me.
176
00:09:45,381 --> 00:09:46,830
this isn't reparations.
177
00:09:46,932 --> 00:09:50,017
Reparations will be paying
back the $5.9 trillion
178
00:09:50,135 --> 00:09:52,197
owed to our ancestors
and their descendants.
179
00:09:52,221 --> 00:09:54,282
- See, she admits it, right out of her mouth.
- oh, yeah, thief.
180
00:09:54,306 --> 00:09:56,890
You stole proceedings
from our vaccine drive!
181
00:09:56,976 --> 00:09:58,358
You're stealing right now.
182
00:09:58,477 --> 00:10:02,029
We're processing these
claims as fast as we can.
183
00:10:02,147 --> 00:10:04,564
But the more claims,
the slower the process.
184
00:10:04,650 --> 00:10:08,035
All claims have to be
fully investigated.
185
00:10:08,153 --> 00:10:10,821
It can take time, longer
than you might expect.
186
00:10:12,291 --> 00:10:15,692
sir, pigford v. Glickman
already set the legal precedent.
187
00:10:15,794 --> 00:10:17,806
The patterns of
discrimination are clear.
188
00:10:17,830 --> 00:10:19,641
There's no point in
dragging this out.
189
00:10:19,665 --> 00:10:21,748
Pay these farmers
what they are owed
190
00:10:21,834 --> 00:10:24,479
or they'll be forced to take their
grievances to court for emergency relief.
191
00:10:30,976 --> 00:10:32,320
that's
the update we have.
192
00:10:32,344 --> 00:10:33,672
We'll have another
in about six weeks.
193
00:10:33,696 --> 00:10:35,073
- six weeks?
- six weeks?
194
00:10:35,097 --> 00:10:36,508
what do you
mean six weeks, huh?
195
00:10:36,532 --> 00:10:38,932
What am I supposed to
do for six weeks? Hey!
196
00:10:39,034 --> 00:10:40,600
Six weeks!
197
00:10:46,692 --> 00:10:48,025
why you ain't tell me, vi?
198
00:10:49,194 --> 00:10:52,079
Now what if... What if
her husband showed up?
199
00:10:52,197 --> 00:10:54,237
And I ain't even
know where you were.
200
00:10:54,700 --> 00:10:56,177
This is what I'm always
talking about, vi.
201
00:10:56,201 --> 00:10:58,368
And that's why I
didn't tell you.
202
00:10:59,672 --> 00:11:02,405
'cause I knew this is
exactly how you would act,
203
00:11:02,508 --> 00:11:06,910
telling me that I'm always
helping everybody else.
204
00:11:07,012 --> 00:11:09,441
I just didn't want to fight
anymore about how I do me.
205
00:11:09,465 --> 00:11:12,193
That's what you think about
me, just a broken record.
206
00:11:12,217 --> 00:11:15,635
Look, you and me,
we're the same.
207
00:11:15,721 --> 00:11:20,390
The real spot is just you taking care
of everybody else instead of yourself.
208
00:11:22,861 --> 00:11:23,894
Wow.
209
00:11:56,311 --> 00:11:58,461
- yeah, what?
- yeah, what?
210
00:11:58,564 --> 00:12:01,982
I know I raised you better
than to answer the phone like that.
211
00:12:02,101 --> 00:12:04,162
sorry, I
didn't see it was you.
212
00:12:04,186 --> 00:12:06,436
I just want to remind
you about dinner tonight
213
00:12:06,522 --> 00:12:09,472
with your dad and the
family at aunt vi's.
214
00:12:09,575 --> 00:12:12,655
That's a sentence I never
thought I'd hear you say again.
215
00:12:16,615 --> 00:12:19,199
Well, um, do you want
to talk about it,
216
00:12:19,752 --> 00:12:20,951
talk it through?
217
00:12:23,622 --> 00:12:26,873
Your feelings about all of this
are important to us, micah.
218
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,159
I hope you know that.
219
00:12:29,261 --> 00:12:30,994
No, no.
220
00:12:31,096 --> 00:12:34,598
I just want you to be happy.
221
00:12:34,683 --> 00:12:35,803
I want him to be happy.
222
00:12:35,851 --> 00:12:38,096
So if you two think that
you can be happy together,
223
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,220
then, by all means, go for it.
224
00:12:42,124 --> 00:12:43,423
All right? Um,
225
00:12:44,585 --> 00:12:46,665
I don't want you to
hurt like that again.
226
00:12:47,899 --> 00:12:50,019
I don't think either
of us could take it.
227
00:12:50,748 --> 00:12:52,828
Thank you, baby,
for... For saying that.
228
00:12:54,403 --> 00:12:55,403
I hear you.
229
00:12:55,487 --> 00:12:57,449
I'll, um, I'll see
you later tonight?
230
00:12:57,473 --> 00:12:58,638
I'll see you tonight.
231
00:12:58,740 --> 00:12:59,873
Bye, sweetheart.
232
00:13:01,464 --> 00:13:03,965
Guess I thought he'd be happier
233
00:13:04,003 --> 00:13:05,336
that we were back together.
234
00:13:07,763 --> 00:13:10,314
He used to talk about
it all the time.
235
00:13:10,752 --> 00:13:12,886
He won't be alone
in his reservations.
236
00:13:16,141 --> 00:13:19,843
you know, some of your family might
not be too happy seeing us together.
237
00:13:21,072 --> 00:13:23,134
And no one in your family
is gonna hold back.
238
00:13:23,159 --> 00:13:26,666
Well, I know some
might be surprised,
239
00:13:27,065 --> 00:13:30,099
but I don't think anyone
is gonna be opposed.
240
00:13:30,312 --> 00:13:31,644
Well,
241
00:13:32,074 --> 00:13:35,492
I am ready to plead my case
with the court of the bordelons.
242
00:13:36,862 --> 00:13:39,340
- I have my opening remarks ready, my rebuttals.
- Wow.
243
00:13:39,364 --> 00:13:42,916
Yeah, and I just have to
withstand the cross-examination
244
00:13:43,035 --> 00:13:45,168
so that I can get to
my closing argument.
245
00:13:45,254 --> 00:13:46,786
They are indeed a handful.
246
00:13:48,540 --> 00:13:51,424
May not be easy,
but you're up to it.
247
00:13:51,543 --> 00:13:53,009
Ain't no other way to be.
248
00:14:11,146 --> 00:14:13,708
I saw your talk with
tarana burke on your live.
249
00:14:13,732 --> 00:14:15,232
It was powerful.
250
00:14:15,317 --> 00:14:18,068
Thank you. Thanks very much.
251
00:14:18,153 --> 00:14:19,764
- Did you watch?
- Of course I did.
252
00:14:19,788 --> 00:14:21,788
Excellent, as always.
253
00:14:21,907 --> 00:14:24,352
You got me thinking about our
intersection with whiteness.
254
00:14:24,376 --> 00:14:28,712
It's a lot to unpack.
A lot to process.
255
00:14:29,748 --> 00:14:32,282
What, am I being too dramatic?
256
00:14:32,384 --> 00:14:34,279
No, you should just check
out my uncle's new space
257
00:14:34,303 --> 00:14:36,064
the real spot one of these days.
258
00:14:36,088 --> 00:14:37,782
It's a place for men to process.
259
00:14:37,806 --> 00:14:39,551
I'm not sure what
goes on in there,
260
00:14:39,575 --> 00:14:42,120
but maybe you can give us ladies
a scoop on what happens inside.
261
00:14:42,144 --> 00:14:44,064
yeah, we want the scoop.
262
00:14:44,096 --> 00:14:45,240
Oh, no, ma'am. No, ma'am.
263
00:14:45,264 --> 00:14:46,991
If the real spot is
a spot just for men,
264
00:14:47,015 --> 00:14:49,911
then what happens at the real
spot stays at the real spot.
265
00:14:49,935 --> 00:14:51,818
Oh, you got slogans.
266
00:14:51,937 --> 00:14:54,070
I've been writing them down.
267
00:14:54,156 --> 00:14:55,488
Bye, y'all.
268
00:15:19,881 --> 00:15:22,799
never thought I'd see the day
davis was back in this house.
269
00:15:22,884 --> 00:15:24,601
Me neither,
270
00:15:24,686 --> 00:15:30,340
- but life is about change and davis has changed.
- I heard that.
271
00:15:30,442 --> 00:15:33,509
I've never met him before
the change. What was he like?
272
00:15:33,612 --> 00:15:39,182
Well, some men don't know what
they have until it's gone.
273
00:15:39,284 --> 00:15:40,878
We never have a chance
to make mistakes.
274
00:15:40,902 --> 00:15:45,538
Well, I for one, am excited
that the hook-up has come back.
275
00:15:47,409 --> 00:15:48,491
man.
276
00:15:48,577 --> 00:15:50,526
Ernest used to be so proud.
277
00:15:50,629 --> 00:15:53,830
"yeah, my son-in-law
davis west."
278
00:15:53,915 --> 00:15:55,893
him and prosper be on the
court looking like kings,
279
00:15:55,917 --> 00:15:59,636
on that courtside, ooh,
those were the days.
280
00:15:59,721 --> 00:16:02,450
Well, he might not be able
to get you front-row seats,
281
00:16:02,474 --> 00:16:03,807
since those go to the players,
282
00:16:03,892 --> 00:16:07,978
but if this coaching gig that
he's up for comes through,
283
00:16:08,063 --> 00:16:08,979
second row ain't bad.
284
00:16:09,064 --> 00:16:10,575
Hey, beggars can't be choosers.
285
00:16:21,994 --> 00:16:23,576
if it ain't the man himself.
286
00:16:24,246 --> 00:16:25,362
Mr. Davis west.
287
00:16:25,447 --> 00:16:26,896
Hey, what's up, big brother?
288
00:16:26,999 --> 00:16:28,476
- it's good to see you, man.
- It's been a minute.
289
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:30,478
- How are you?
- I grew up a little bit.
290
00:16:30,502 --> 00:16:32,369
Yeah, yeah. We all...
291
00:16:32,454 --> 00:16:35,038
Look, congrats on the
wedding and the baby.
292
00:16:35,123 --> 00:16:36,423
I'm happy for you, bruh.
293
00:16:36,541 --> 00:16:37,424
- What's up, mama?
- Hey, baby.
294
00:16:37,542 --> 00:16:38,853
- You good?
- yeah.
295
00:16:38,877 --> 00:16:40,772
-I appreciate you. Welcome back.
- thank you, bro.
296
00:16:40,796 --> 00:16:42,240
- yes, indeed.
- There he is.
297
00:16:42,264 --> 00:16:44,409
-Hollywood.
- oh, big man. Good to see you.
298
00:16:44,433 --> 00:16:45,882
oh, man.
299
00:16:45,967 --> 00:16:48,518
Come on, man. Come
on, pull up a chair.
300
00:16:50,889 --> 00:16:51,771
hey, nova.
301
00:16:51,890 --> 00:16:54,557
- Nice to see you again, davis.
- You too.
302
00:16:54,643 --> 00:16:57,027
- Darla, hi.
- Hi. It's nice to see you.
303
00:17:00,365 --> 00:17:01,793
- Hey, baby.
- How are you?
304
00:17:01,817 --> 00:17:02,817
I'm good.
305
00:17:02,901 --> 00:17:03,750
good to see you.
306
00:17:03,852 --> 00:17:05,251
Davis.
307
00:17:05,370 --> 00:17:06,736
evening, aunt vi.
308
00:17:07,989 --> 00:17:09,622
These are for you, and, um...
309
00:17:11,076 --> 00:17:12,375
Thanks for having me over.
310
00:17:13,378 --> 00:17:15,795
Well, you're welcome. Thanks.
311
00:17:18,750 --> 00:17:20,750
guys, before
we get started,
312
00:17:22,087 --> 00:17:26,172
if I could just say that it's
been on my heart for a long time
313
00:17:28,427 --> 00:17:30,427
to apologize to all of you.
314
00:17:33,432 --> 00:17:34,898
Breaking your trust in me.
315
00:17:36,485 --> 00:17:38,902
I'd never really had
much of a family,
316
00:17:40,155 --> 00:17:42,805
but when I first came
home with charley,
317
00:17:42,908 --> 00:17:45,191
you guys took me in
like I was one of yours.
318
00:17:46,695 --> 00:17:47,911
So, uh,
319
00:17:50,699 --> 00:17:52,619
thank you for the second chance.
320
00:17:55,454 --> 00:17:56,836
Especially you.
321
00:17:58,373 --> 00:17:59,589
I love you, charley.
322
00:18:01,209 --> 00:18:02,375
I love you, too, micah.
323
00:18:04,463 --> 00:18:07,046
- Let's eat, y'all.
- Yes, let's do it.
324
00:18:08,517 --> 00:18:11,446
Micah west, I don't know, we
haven't done this in a while,
325
00:18:11,470 --> 00:18:14,504
but we say grace
around before we eat.
326
00:18:14,606 --> 00:18:16,834
- I'm sorry.
- All right, now let's get into it.
327
00:18:16,858 --> 00:18:18,836
- Let's get into it.
- Come on, come on, come on.
328
00:18:18,860 --> 00:18:20,059
yes.
329
00:18:20,812 --> 00:18:23,697
Now, we all know this
has been a hard year,
330
00:18:25,108 --> 00:18:28,259
lost a lot of people, friends,
331
00:18:28,307 --> 00:18:29,556
co-workers,
332
00:18:30,402 --> 00:18:31,735
mothers,
333
00:18:32,063 --> 00:18:35,798
but this year has also
given us the opportunity
334
00:18:36,419 --> 00:18:39,086
to put stock on what's important
335
00:18:39,815 --> 00:18:42,116
and to let go of what
we need to let go of
336
00:18:42,141 --> 00:18:45,309
and hold tight to
things that we want,
337
00:18:47,186 --> 00:18:49,186
and remember what
matters the most.
338
00:18:49,496 --> 00:18:51,656
- That's real.
- is each one of us
339
00:18:53,733 --> 00:18:55,900
to be the guiding force
340
00:18:55,946 --> 00:19:00,082
and not to let our ego and our
pain and our past guide us,
341
00:19:00,685 --> 00:19:05,488
but be guided by something
that is more mighty, wiser,
342
00:19:05,574 --> 00:19:07,824
- and stronger forever, god.
- Yep.
343
00:19:07,909 --> 00:19:12,045
And, lord, we ask you to
bless each and every one of us
344
00:19:12,147 --> 00:19:14,258
and bless this food that
we're about to receive.
345
00:19:14,282 --> 00:19:15,676
- Amen.
- amen.
346
00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:17,567
Amen. Dr. Reverend hollywood.
347
00:19:25,919 --> 00:19:27,018

348
00:19:27,121 --> 00:19:28,121
Ha-ha.
349
00:19:28,188 --> 00:19:31,740
Baby, I am so glad for you.
350
00:19:31,825 --> 00:19:35,377
This is a dream you've
been holding a long time.
351
00:19:35,462 --> 00:19:36,828
Thank you, cher.
352
00:19:36,914 --> 00:19:39,915
Okay, so I got you set
up with food and spirits
353
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,168
and I'm gonna get out of here
and go to my ladies night.
354
00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:45,837
- Baby, I am so happy.
355
00:19:45,923 --> 00:19:48,340

356
00:19:48,425 --> 00:19:49,619
- Wood.

357
00:19:49,643 --> 00:19:50,703
I want you to meet my people.
358
00:19:50,727 --> 00:19:52,739
- I'm done, I'm going.

359
00:19:52,763 --> 00:19:53,895

00:19:56,683 --> 00:19:58,328

Oh, yeah?
371
00:20:18,338 --> 00:20:19,454
Nice to meet you, man.
372
00:20:19,540 --> 00:20:21,067

373
00:20:21,091 --> 00:20:22,235

00:20:22,259 --> 00:20:23,853

00:20:23,877 --> 00:20:26,272

376
00:20:26,296 --> 00:20:28,830
- Oh, no, that's prosper.
- Hey!
377
00:20:28,932 --> 00:20:30,298
Prosper!
378
00:20:30,384 --> 00:20:33,363
Old friends, good to see you in
that old rickety chair of yours.
379
00:20:33,387 --> 00:20:36,805
Right, watch it. After all the
damn painting I did down there,
380
00:20:36,890 --> 00:20:38,835
I wouldn't miss this for
nothing in the world.
381
00:20:38,859 --> 00:20:40,537
- Hey, get better soon.
- That's right.
382
00:20:40,561 --> 00:20:43,441
You missed a couple spots
that I had to patch up.
383
00:20:44,064 --> 00:20:46,181
come on,
dad. You need to eat.
384
00:20:46,283 --> 00:20:48,567
I made you some steamed chicken.
385
00:20:48,652 --> 00:20:50,068
I'm coming, I'm coming.
386
00:20:51,321 --> 00:20:52,687
All right.
387
00:20:52,789 --> 00:20:56,741
I invited all of you here because
you brothers are important to me.
388
00:20:56,827 --> 00:20:59,694
You're important
to the community.
389
00:20:59,796 --> 00:21:02,108
And most of all, you negros
got your vaccinations.
390
00:21:04,168 --> 00:21:07,419
but seriously, this place,
391
00:21:07,504 --> 00:21:08,703
it's just for us.
392
00:21:08,805 --> 00:21:10,233
- That's right.
- yeah.
393
00:21:10,257 --> 00:21:13,592
For us to convene, vibe, and work
out whatever's going on with us.
394
00:21:13,677 --> 00:21:15,277
- Yeah.
- Just be.
395
00:21:16,730 --> 00:21:18,813
So, who wants to go first?
396
00:21:20,484 --> 00:21:22,350
Come on, maybe...
397
00:21:22,436 --> 00:21:25,386
Maybe we could talk about
whatever's on our minds,
398
00:21:25,489 --> 00:21:26,988
whatever we're thinking about.
399
00:21:27,074 --> 00:21:30,058
And you know your boy wood
has come prepared, huh?
400
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,840
- uh-huh.
401
00:21:32,946 --> 00:21:34,496
But,
402
00:21:34,581 --> 00:21:37,032
you gets no yak if you
don't start yakking.
403
00:21:39,753 --> 00:21:40,869
yeah.
404
00:21:40,954 --> 00:21:44,956
Well, he'll see how hard it
is to get men to open up.
405
00:21:46,210 --> 00:21:47,459
Pulling teeth.
406
00:21:48,512 --> 00:21:50,106
Everything okay
with you and wood?
407
00:21:50,130 --> 00:21:51,858
just a
little speed bump,
408
00:21:51,882 --> 00:21:55,217
- but we all got 'em this year, right?
- Mmm.
409
00:21:55,302 --> 00:21:58,303
Feels good to finally have
everything out in the open.
410
00:22:05,529 --> 00:22:06,561
What?
411
00:22:08,815 --> 00:22:11,233
we're just happy for you, girl.
412
00:22:11,318 --> 00:22:13,558
Do your political folks
know about you and davis?
413
00:22:15,122 --> 00:22:17,789
It's none of their business
how I feel about my man.
414
00:22:18,625 --> 00:22:20,585
how do you
feel about him?
415
00:22:21,995 --> 00:22:23,915
Are you in love with him again?
416
00:22:27,134 --> 00:22:28,633
I'm close.
417
00:22:30,137 --> 00:22:31,886
Definitely in my feelings.
418
00:22:31,972 --> 00:22:35,123
Well, the fact is you
all are public figures
419
00:22:35,225 --> 00:22:37,509
and folks are gonna
have their opinions.
420
00:22:39,279 --> 00:22:40,957
so, micah, maybe
you want to start it off?
421
00:22:40,981 --> 00:22:42,480
Why I got to go first?
422
00:22:43,817 --> 00:22:45,684
'cause you're generation emo.
423
00:22:45,769 --> 00:22:48,164
You all share everything on
the gram every day long, huh?
424
00:22:48,188 --> 00:22:50,133
Man, I'll go first if
I get some of that yak.
425
00:22:50,157 --> 00:22:52,135
Oh, no, no, you're
gonna be real good
426
00:22:52,159 --> 00:22:53,803
- with that cold drink right there.
- Mmm.
427
00:22:56,446 --> 00:22:58,530
I feel like
428
00:22:58,615 --> 00:23:01,283
I'm getting a second
chance, you know?
429
00:23:02,419 --> 00:23:03,868
I just...
430
00:23:03,954 --> 00:23:06,321
I don't want to
mess anything up.
431
00:23:06,423 --> 00:23:09,257
You won't and nothing
bad's gonna happen.
432
00:23:10,594 --> 00:23:11,988
I don't... I don't
know if it's like,
433
00:23:12,012 --> 00:23:14,796
um, the hormones or what,
434
00:23:16,466 --> 00:23:18,433
but I just can't, um...
435
00:23:18,518 --> 00:23:21,853
I cannot shake this feeling
436
00:23:23,106 --> 00:23:24,606
like something's coming,
437
00:23:25,892 --> 00:23:27,592
something I'm not gonna like.
438
00:23:27,694 --> 00:23:29,644
Uh-uh. Nope.
439
00:23:29,730 --> 00:23:32,063
Nope, we're not doing that.
440
00:23:32,149 --> 00:23:33,732
Nope.
441
00:23:33,817 --> 00:23:35,667
That's how the world wants us.
442
00:23:37,204 --> 00:23:41,573
Got us so messed up that we
not even trusting in joy.
443
00:23:43,627 --> 00:23:45,076
Well, we need to.
444
00:23:46,330 --> 00:23:47,528
Trust joy.
445
00:23:47,631 --> 00:23:50,882
You know, I met
this kid yesterday,
446
00:23:51,885 --> 00:23:53,418
his name was gabriel.
447
00:23:54,421 --> 00:23:59,874
It's funny 'cause that's my mama's
favorite angel in the bible, yeah.
448
00:23:59,976 --> 00:24:02,811
He was living with
his mommy in a motel
449
00:24:02,896 --> 00:24:05,430
and the way that he was
clinging onto her just
450
00:24:06,650 --> 00:24:10,101
reminded me so much
of me at that age.
451
00:24:10,187 --> 00:24:13,427
Vi's been sort of on me about
going through my mama's things, so,
452
00:24:14,024 --> 00:24:15,523
the other day,
453
00:24:15,609 --> 00:24:18,026
I did and I found this hat
454
00:24:18,111 --> 00:24:19,994
that reminded me of a time
455
00:24:20,831 --> 00:24:22,447
when my mama went hat shopping
456
00:24:23,333 --> 00:24:25,083
and this white saleslady
457
00:24:26,203 --> 00:24:28,123
wouldn't even let her try it on.
458
00:24:29,039 --> 00:24:33,007
I was hugging up on
my mother's hips,
459
00:24:36,380 --> 00:24:40,432
'cause to me, she was
everything in the world.
460
00:24:42,552 --> 00:24:44,052
But to that woman,
461
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,022
she was nothin'.
462
00:24:53,613 --> 00:24:56,114
Some people are just bad news.
463
00:24:56,983 --> 00:24:59,067
Billie was one of those people.
464
00:24:59,152 --> 00:25:00,652
Ralph angel,
465
00:25:00,737 --> 00:25:04,322
he always talked about
billie, like, um,
466
00:25:04,408 --> 00:25:06,769
like she was a third
sister back in the day.
467
00:25:06,793 --> 00:25:08,960
He was so young,
he wouldn't know.
468
00:25:10,464 --> 00:25:14,416
You two were almost
inseparable, what happened?
469
00:25:14,501 --> 00:25:18,169
I'll just say when someone
shows you who they are,
470
00:25:18,271 --> 00:25:20,555
- believe them the first time.
- mmm.
471
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,674
She caused a lot
of damage for me.
472
00:25:25,145 --> 00:25:26,478
And for me.
473
00:25:29,266 --> 00:25:32,550
There was a rumor that
474
00:25:32,652 --> 00:25:35,904
billie was messing around with
jimmy dale while we were married.
475
00:25:36,239 --> 00:25:37,856
Oh.
476
00:25:37,941 --> 00:25:40,074
I mean, he was always
disrespecting me,
477
00:25:41,161 --> 00:25:44,362
chasing any and every skirt,
478
00:25:46,950 --> 00:25:48,032
but that one,
479
00:25:49,569 --> 00:25:51,302
it almost broke me.
480
00:25:53,507 --> 00:25:55,590
I mean, the girl
was like family.
481
00:25:57,344 --> 00:26:00,512
Some things and some people
should remain in your past.
482
00:26:07,354 --> 00:26:09,053
hey, man.
483
00:26:09,139 --> 00:26:10,199
It's good to see you, bruh.
484
00:26:10,223 --> 00:26:11,868
- Good to see you, too, bruh.
- For real.
485
00:26:11,892 --> 00:26:15,109
Look, you good? You looked
stressed back there.
486
00:26:15,195 --> 00:26:16,728
Just got a lot on my mind.
487
00:26:16,813 --> 00:26:17,979
I'm straight.
488
00:26:18,064 --> 00:26:20,949
Man go for money problems
or woman problems.
489
00:26:21,034 --> 00:26:23,952
Ain't no woman problems. A
lot with the baby coming.
490
00:26:24,037 --> 00:26:25,403
I got you.
491
00:26:25,489 --> 00:26:27,021
If you need me to, you know,
492
00:26:27,123 --> 00:26:30,523
get you a little something while you
wait on that money, I can help, bruh.
493
00:26:30,660 --> 00:26:32,961
In fact, I got a way
you can make some cash.
494
00:26:34,164 --> 00:26:35,797
Nah, t.
495
00:26:35,882 --> 00:26:36,962
I'm out that life now.
496
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,945
Me, too. That's why I'm
telling you about this.
497
00:26:38,969 --> 00:26:40,468
It's easy, it's an inside job
498
00:26:40,554 --> 00:26:42,565
where you ain't gotta
get out of the van.
499
00:26:42,589 --> 00:26:46,641
We unload the truck, you drive
it off, it's that simple.
500
00:26:46,726 --> 00:26:49,043
- What's in the truck?
- It's computer equipment.
501
00:26:49,145 --> 00:26:50,740
They store it for, like,
an office or something,
502
00:26:50,764 --> 00:26:52,742
which means ain't
nobody gonna miss it.
503
00:26:52,766 --> 00:26:55,016
It's a warehouse called,
um, landry industries.
504
00:26:55,101 --> 00:26:56,851
- Landry?
- Yeah.
505
00:26:56,937 --> 00:26:58,102
I know that family.
506
00:26:59,406 --> 00:27:01,167
I ain't tryin' to get
mixed up with them.
507
00:27:01,191 --> 00:27:03,071
Look, I appreciate you, though.
508
00:27:03,326 --> 00:27:05,827
Ain't hurt to ask, man.
509
00:27:05,912 --> 00:27:08,830
- All right, it was good to see you, boy.
- Bruh.
510
00:27:08,915 --> 00:27:10,999
Too good. Good to
see you, big homie.
511
00:27:11,084 --> 00:27:13,095
- You stay up, brother.
- Man, drive safe.
512
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:14,669
I will.
513
00:27:14,754 --> 00:27:16,182
I got a little
something for you, man.
514
00:27:16,206 --> 00:27:17,839
- Man, no.
- Yeah.
515
00:27:20,627 --> 00:27:22,410
no.
516
00:27:22,512 --> 00:27:24,512
It's a gift for the
baby, all right?
517
00:27:39,246 --> 00:27:42,080
I think that I speak for
both myself and my husband
518
00:27:42,198 --> 00:27:44,010
when I say that we
loved meeting you.
519
00:27:44,034 --> 00:27:45,344
And we would really like for you
520
00:27:45,368 --> 00:27:47,680
to help us bring our baby girl
into the world as our doula.
521
00:27:47,704 --> 00:27:49,671
oh, I would love that.
522
00:27:49,756 --> 00:27:51,876
- You will be amazing parents.
- Thank you.
523
00:27:54,544 --> 00:27:56,678
Have you decided
on your midwife?
524
00:27:56,763 --> 00:27:58,046
I thought you was the midwife.
525
00:27:58,131 --> 00:27:59,881
do we need both?
526
00:27:59,966 --> 00:28:03,601
We work together, but the midwife
has more medical expertise.
527
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,054
And her focus is on
the health of the baby,
528
00:28:06,139 --> 00:28:08,773
while I focus on
the mom, on you.
529
00:28:08,892 --> 00:28:10,391
gotcha.
530
00:28:10,477 --> 00:28:11,776
That sounds expensive.
531
00:28:11,895 --> 00:28:13,260
Does sound expensive.
532
00:28:13,363 --> 00:28:16,731
Well, if you have insurance,
generally they'll cover some of it.
533
00:28:20,236 --> 00:28:22,265
look, let me put together
some recommendations,
534
00:28:22,289 --> 00:28:24,489
and send them over, and
we could keep talking.
535
00:28:25,992 --> 00:28:27,292
okay.
536
00:28:28,995 --> 00:28:30,235
thank you for coming.
537
00:28:46,012 --> 00:28:48,293
maybe we should just have
the baby at the hospital.
538
00:28:49,182 --> 00:28:51,465
I want you to have the
birth experience you want,
539
00:28:52,152 --> 00:28:53,496
not just the one
we could afford.
540
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,603
I appreciate that but, I mean,
541
00:28:55,689 --> 00:28:57,300
is the harvest really
gonna cover all of that?
542
00:28:57,324 --> 00:29:01,025
I mean, the expenses are piling
up and that doula is not cheap.
543
00:29:03,496 --> 00:29:06,616
The harvest is not really
booming like I want it to by now.
544
00:29:08,335 --> 00:29:10,446
- But when the remedy checks come in...
- if they come in.
545
00:29:10,470 --> 00:29:11,703
They will.
546
00:29:11,788 --> 00:29:13,432
We already maxed
out on payday loans,
547
00:29:13,456 --> 00:29:16,541
I mean, maybe we need to
just like swallow our pride
548
00:29:16,643 --> 00:29:18,960
- and ask for help.
- Darla,
549
00:29:20,213 --> 00:29:21,929
don't give up on me.
550
00:29:22,015 --> 00:29:23,926
I just need a little more time.
551
00:29:23,950 --> 00:29:25,049
All right?
552
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,470
I know, we're in this together.
553
00:29:29,556 --> 00:29:31,300
- Are you sure?
- We'll figure it out.
554
00:29:31,324 --> 00:29:32,557
All right.
555
00:29:36,563 --> 00:29:39,814
It's the mix of passion
and protest that gets me.
556
00:29:39,899 --> 00:29:41,544
You know, but you can't
just watch the film.
557
00:29:41,568 --> 00:29:43,801
You have to read
baldwin's words.
558
00:29:43,903 --> 00:29:45,436
holy shit!
559
00:29:45,538 --> 00:29:46,849
all
available reports...
560
00:29:46,873 --> 00:29:48,793
scared the crap out of me.
561
00:29:56,166 --> 00:29:57,498
micah.
562
00:29:58,168 --> 00:29:59,917
Breathe, man.
563
00:30:02,422 --> 00:30:03,755
Oh.
564
00:30:05,175 --> 00:30:06,641
Where is he?
565
00:30:06,726 --> 00:30:09,193
- who?
- the cop, the cop.
566
00:30:12,198 --> 00:30:13,976
Micah, I think you're
having a panic attack.
567
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,433
Have you had one before?
568
00:30:16,853 --> 00:30:18,147
- No, no.
- Okay.
569
00:30:18,171 --> 00:30:19,937
You're gonna be okay.
570
00:30:20,023 --> 00:30:23,085
- Just, just take slow, deep breaths.
- I can't, I can't breathe.
571
00:30:23,109 --> 00:30:25,276
- It's just a security guard.
572
00:30:25,361 --> 00:30:26,861
no one's here.
573
00:30:27,864 --> 00:30:29,080
Micah, look at me.
574
00:30:30,366 --> 00:30:31,366
Breathe.
575
00:30:38,258 --> 00:30:39,540
should I call someone?
576
00:30:41,061 --> 00:30:43,261
No, just stay right there
right there for sec.
577
00:30:46,216 --> 00:30:48,382
just breathe.
578
00:30:56,776 --> 00:30:58,109
Hello, beautiful.
579
00:30:58,728 --> 00:30:59,977
mmm.
580
00:31:01,114 --> 00:31:02,563
Oh, yeah.
581
00:31:03,316 --> 00:31:04,615
you know what?
582
00:31:05,318 --> 00:31:06,901
I got one of those.
583
00:31:07,620 --> 00:31:08,903
Only bigger.
584
00:31:08,988 --> 00:31:10,321
How big?
585
00:31:10,406 --> 00:31:12,490
Well, it's big enough
for me to ride.
586
00:31:12,575 --> 00:31:13,708
whoa.
587
00:31:13,793 --> 00:31:15,743
- That's cool, huh?
- Yeah.
588
00:31:17,330 --> 00:31:20,010
- You want me to fix that for you?
- Okay.
589
00:31:28,258 --> 00:31:30,069
- Magic.
- look at that.
590
00:31:30,093 --> 00:31:31,259
How'd you do that?
591
00:31:31,344 --> 00:31:33,122
-What are you gonna say? Come on.
-Thank you.
592
00:31:33,146 --> 00:31:34,345
Oh, you're welcome.
593
00:31:42,522 --> 00:31:43,604
yay.
594
00:31:57,537 --> 00:31:58,703
is prosper inside?
595
00:31:58,788 --> 00:32:00,988
Promised I'd bring him
some of vi's leftovers.
596
00:32:01,958 --> 00:32:03,457
He's sleeping.
597
00:32:04,127 --> 00:32:05,426
Oh.
598
00:32:05,512 --> 00:32:08,796
Okay, well, could you give him
this and tell him I came by?
599
00:32:08,882 --> 00:32:10,047
Sure.
600
00:32:14,137 --> 00:32:16,637
You know it's childish that
we don't talk about things.
601
00:32:19,142 --> 00:32:20,725
How would you like to start?
602
00:32:20,810 --> 00:32:22,310
You could try an apology.
603
00:32:25,565 --> 00:32:27,031
We were kids.
604
00:32:27,150 --> 00:32:28,566
It was an accident.
605
00:32:28,651 --> 00:32:29,951
An accident?
606
00:32:30,036 --> 00:32:32,464
What you said to my father
damaged my relationship with him
607
00:32:32,488 --> 00:32:33,804
for the rest of his life.
608
00:32:36,159 --> 00:32:37,686
He never looked at me the same.
609
00:32:37,710 --> 00:32:40,461
We were 18, we both
did things back then.
610
00:32:40,547 --> 00:32:42,458
No, you don't get to
get off that easy.
611
00:32:42,482 --> 00:32:44,627
You knew exactly what you were
doing, that's what made it worse.
612
00:32:44,651 --> 00:32:46,667
You did it on purpose.
613
00:32:46,753 --> 00:32:48,564
Nova, I don't remember
all the details.
614
00:32:48,588 --> 00:32:51,138
All I remember is
that I was hurting.
615
00:32:51,224 --> 00:32:52,673
And you hurt me, too.
616
00:32:54,344 --> 00:32:58,095
You told my father you were worried
about my soul because I might be gay.
617
00:33:00,016 --> 00:33:01,566
You outed me, billie.
618
00:33:04,020 --> 00:33:07,154
I came home to questions I
wasn't prepared to answer,
619
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,023
for me or for myself.
620
00:33:09,108 --> 00:33:12,228
And for you to sit here and say
that it happened accidentally
621
00:33:13,079 --> 00:33:14,245
is vile.
622
00:33:15,198 --> 00:33:16,914
Vile?
623
00:33:17,033 --> 00:33:18,532
No, I'll tell you what's vile.
624
00:33:20,086 --> 00:33:22,703
Abandoning your best friend
when she needed you the most.
625
00:33:22,789 --> 00:33:24,233
When did I abandon you, billie?
626
00:33:24,257 --> 00:33:25,506
Me and jimmy dale.
627
00:33:25,592 --> 00:33:26,752
Oh, so the rumor is true.
628
00:33:26,793 --> 00:33:27,875
Ah, you...
629
00:33:28,962 --> 00:33:31,762
You are so high and mighty on tv
630
00:33:31,881 --> 00:33:33,609
and in your books
and in your articles,
631
00:33:33,633 --> 00:33:36,767
crusading for justice
and women's rights,
632
00:33:38,638 --> 00:33:40,688
but you couldn't see then or now
633
00:33:40,773 --> 00:33:42,223
what is really happening.
634
00:33:44,277 --> 00:33:48,145
I was 18 years old, nova.
635
00:33:48,231 --> 00:33:51,782
He was over 33. There
was no me and jimmy dale.
636
00:33:51,884 --> 00:33:54,880
There was a 30-something-year-old
man going around town
637
00:33:54,904 --> 00:33:57,904
telling people that an
18-year-old senior in high school
638
00:33:57,957 --> 00:33:59,290
was good in bed.
639
00:34:00,627 --> 00:34:02,126
And not one of you,
640
00:34:03,579 --> 00:34:07,498
not my best friend, or
anyone in her family
641
00:34:07,583 --> 00:34:10,418
thought to inquire
about the circumstances.
642
00:34:10,503 --> 00:34:12,219
What are you saying, billie?
643
00:34:12,305 --> 00:34:13,671
I'm saying
644
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,808
the same thing that I
wanted to tell you then.
645
00:34:18,645 --> 00:34:22,596
I tried to tell
violet and my father
646
00:34:23,182 --> 00:34:24,849
and everybody back then.
647
00:34:28,021 --> 00:34:29,487
It wasn't my choice.
648
00:34:32,659 --> 00:34:34,108
But nobody would listen.
649
00:34:35,662 --> 00:34:37,611
nobody.
650
00:34:37,697 --> 00:34:40,598
So, as soon as I
graduated, I left.
651
00:34:42,118 --> 00:34:44,835
And on my way out, I
stepped by the farm
652
00:34:44,954 --> 00:34:47,371
to speak with your father
to see if he would listen.
653
00:34:48,841 --> 00:34:50,207
And he did.
654
00:34:51,210 --> 00:34:53,961
And he was so kind, nova.
655
00:34:56,132 --> 00:34:58,212
I think he might have
even believed me.
656
00:35:00,353 --> 00:35:01,635
I saw in him
657
00:35:02,472 --> 00:35:03,637
a good person.
658
00:35:05,475 --> 00:35:07,024
A father who listened,
659
00:35:09,645 --> 00:35:11,195
and mine didn't,
660
00:35:12,865 --> 00:35:16,150
and that made me so, so sad,
661
00:35:17,236 --> 00:35:18,736
and mad.
662
00:35:20,206 --> 00:35:22,490
And I didn't want you to
have what I didn't have.
663
00:35:24,911 --> 00:35:26,877
So I told him you liked girls.
664
00:35:31,334 --> 00:35:33,501
Just to fight back what
was happening to me.
665
00:35:35,922 --> 00:35:38,339
I left this town and
I never looked back.
666
00:35:50,019 --> 00:35:53,020
to you, for picking
up the pieces,
667
00:35:54,073 --> 00:35:57,742
making amends,
humbling yourself,
668
00:35:57,860 --> 00:36:00,945
studying, networking,
669
00:36:01,030 --> 00:36:05,783
stepping out on faith,
and nailing the job,
670
00:36:05,868 --> 00:36:09,420
mr. New head coach of
the los angeles dynasty.
671
00:36:09,539 --> 00:36:11,539
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
672
00:36:11,624 --> 00:36:13,707
And to you,
673
00:36:15,878 --> 00:36:18,379
for not letting my
mistakes take you down,
674
00:36:19,766 --> 00:36:21,432
for rising above the mess,
675
00:36:21,551 --> 00:36:24,769
for coming here and
helping your family,
676
00:36:25,388 --> 00:36:27,271
finding a greater cause,
677
00:36:27,390 --> 00:36:31,559
for running and
winning an election,
678
00:36:31,644 --> 00:36:33,539
and grabbing the
attention of the party.
679
00:36:33,563 --> 00:36:37,982
Baby, you are the hottest emerging
black woman political figure
680
00:36:38,067 --> 00:36:39,984
in the country right now.
681
00:36:41,404 --> 00:36:43,537
- The sky's the limit.
- For both of us.
682
00:36:43,623 --> 00:36:45,383
- Mm-hmm.
683
00:36:49,745 --> 00:36:51,162
mmm.
684
00:36:53,249 --> 00:36:54,331
Wow.
685
00:36:54,417 --> 00:36:56,097
- Hmm.
686
00:36:59,755 --> 00:37:02,317
- you don't get stars like this everywhere.
- Mmm.
687
00:37:02,341 --> 00:37:03,724
This is something special
688
00:37:03,810 --> 00:37:05,976
I only see in places
where there's no smog,
689
00:37:06,095 --> 00:37:07,815
- or city lights.
- Hmm.
690
00:37:11,434 --> 00:37:13,514
Would you give this
all up for politics?
691
00:37:15,822 --> 00:37:17,822
I'm not giving up
anything anymore.
692
00:37:20,026 --> 00:37:22,276
- I want it all.
- Mm-hmm.
693
00:37:24,614 --> 00:37:26,574
See, that's what
I love about you.
694
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,116
Fearlessness.
695
00:37:29,202 --> 00:37:30,929
I got to admit, I'm
a little scared about
696
00:37:30,953 --> 00:37:34,421
what the feedback will be
once my announcement goes up.
697
00:37:34,507 --> 00:37:37,820
I hate that it's something you got to
think about while dealing with the party.
698
00:37:37,844 --> 00:37:41,679
We'll get out ahead of it and
control what they're saying.
699
00:37:41,797 --> 00:37:45,182
The party, the sports press will
think what we want them to think.
700
00:37:45,635 --> 00:37:46,967
Remember,
701
00:37:47,803 --> 00:37:51,138
we set the tone and this,
702
00:37:51,807 --> 00:37:53,307
us,
703
00:37:54,310 --> 00:37:55,809
we're a feel-good story.
704
00:37:56,979 --> 00:37:58,679
Golden couple
705
00:37:59,482 --> 00:38:01,402
who lost themselves in the fame,
706
00:38:02,151 --> 00:38:04,034
separated,
707
00:38:04,153 --> 00:38:06,287
found themselves separately,
708
00:38:06,372 --> 00:38:09,323
and reunited to be
stronger than ever.
709
00:38:12,161 --> 00:38:13,994
I swear, charley, you...
710
00:38:15,331 --> 00:38:17,665
You have such a gift
with this kind of stuff
711
00:38:17,750 --> 00:38:19,710
'cause you make
it sound so easy.
712
00:38:22,221 --> 00:38:24,255
But I don't want to lean on you,
713
00:38:24,340 --> 00:38:26,557
to rehabilitate my image.
714
00:38:26,676 --> 00:38:27,876
I don't even want an image.
715
00:38:29,011 --> 00:38:31,645
I just want to go
about my work quietly,
716
00:38:31,731 --> 00:38:33,514
contribute to a good team,
717
00:38:34,684 --> 00:38:36,724
enjoy the games, and
come home to you.
718
00:38:38,571 --> 00:38:39,853
I don't need the other stuff.
719
00:38:41,607 --> 00:38:43,407
I want people to see you
720
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:45,776
the way I see you.
721
00:38:52,418 --> 00:38:54,451
I only care how you see me.
722
00:38:54,537 --> 00:38:55,920
I want you to be proud of me.
723
00:38:58,624 --> 00:39:01,709
You know, go back to
california, excel at this job,
724
00:39:02,762 --> 00:39:05,095
fix up our house, and
make it a home again.
725
00:39:08,801 --> 00:39:10,801
Would you ever
consider moving back?
726
00:39:16,776 --> 00:39:18,726
My life is in st. Jo now.
727
00:39:20,112 --> 00:39:22,563
I have a calling,
a community here.
728
00:39:26,118 --> 00:39:30,988
But long weekends in la
with you sound magnificent.
729
00:39:31,073 --> 00:39:32,323
They do.
730
00:39:36,579 --> 00:39:38,379
In the meantime,
731
00:39:38,464 --> 00:39:41,298
we're gonna have some bumps
in the road to smooth over
732
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:42,933
for both of us.
733
00:39:44,770 --> 00:39:47,021
- Leave the image stuff to me.
- Yep.
734
00:39:48,107 --> 00:39:50,027
No time like the present, right?
735
00:39:50,693 --> 00:39:51,976
Come on.
736
00:39:56,449 --> 00:39:57,731
oh, we're doing this?
737
00:39:57,817 --> 00:39:59,537
- We're doing this.
- Oh.
738
00:40:03,072 --> 00:40:04,872
okay, what's the caption?
739
00:40:04,957 --> 00:40:10,077
Hashtag blackloveneverdies
with a black heart emoji.
740
00:40:15,051 --> 00:40:16,800
wow. It's working.
741
00:40:22,008 --> 00:40:23,424
Pick me up.
742
00:40:30,099 --> 00:40:32,232
- It's all gonna be okay.
- Mmm.
