1
00:00:01,189 --> 00:00:03,559
Previously on Queen Sugar...
2
00:00:03,591 --> 00:00:05,951
I got memories
that I'd left in the past
3
00:00:05,993 --> 00:00:07,753
seeping into my bones again.
4
00:00:07,795 --> 00:00:10,325
You're just insecure,
lying trash who'll never
5
00:00:10,364 --> 00:00:13,664
be more than what she's
always been, irrelevant.
6
00:00:13,701 --> 00:00:15,061
I can get at the real story.
7
00:00:15,103 --> 00:00:16,833
You don't have to do
all this on your own.
8
00:00:16,871 --> 00:00:18,631
My past led me to you,
9
00:00:18,673 --> 00:00:21,943
and that led me to want
to be a better man.
10
00:00:21,976 --> 00:00:23,846
One minute, you were
downing jello shots
11
00:00:23,878 --> 00:00:25,548
before he dragged you
upstairs.
12
00:00:25,580 --> 00:00:28,520
Don't no man have
the right to take
advantage of you.
13
00:00:28,549 --> 00:00:30,089
No means no.
14
00:00:31,385 --> 00:00:33,255
-Am I doing this right?
-[Charley] Come on, smile.
15
00:00:33,287 --> 00:00:35,387
-[camera beeps]
-Mom, be careful
with that thing.
16
00:00:35,423 --> 00:00:37,253
I got the settings
just how I like it.
17
00:00:37,291 --> 00:00:39,091
Hush. I'm doing this.
18
00:00:39,127 --> 00:00:41,797
[Hollywood] Charley,
don't be messing with
the boy's camera.
19
00:00:41,829 --> 00:00:44,569
-Ma, you're not even
holding it right.
-Okay, all right. Fine, fine.
20
00:00:44,599 --> 00:00:46,969
[Hollywood] A young Prince
and Nona Gaye. All right, now.
21
00:00:47,001 --> 00:00:48,631
-[laughter and chattering]
- Who?
22
00:00:50,071 --> 00:00:52,571
I poured sparkling cider so we
can all toast this gorgeous,
23
00:00:52,607 --> 00:00:55,347
smart couple
before they head out.
24
00:00:57,478 --> 00:00:59,548
We celebrate this young queen
and king today,
25
00:00:59,580 --> 00:01:03,050
not only for their beauty,
but also for their brains.
26
00:01:03,084 --> 00:01:05,154
Round of applause
to Keke,
27
00:01:05,186 --> 00:01:07,156
who's going
to my Tulane University,
28
00:01:07,188 --> 00:01:08,528
on a full
visual arts scholarship!
29
00:01:08,556 --> 00:01:10,186
-[all cheer]
-That's right.
30
00:01:10,224 --> 00:01:11,624
Go, Green Wave.
31
00:01:11,659 --> 00:01:12,829
[laughs]
32
00:01:12,860 --> 00:01:14,530
And our dear Micah West,
33
00:01:14,562 --> 00:01:17,392
who's taking his talents
all the way across the country
34
00:01:17,431 --> 00:01:20,161
-to...
-[all] Harvard.
35
00:01:20,201 --> 00:01:23,061
My baby's going
to Harvard.
36
00:01:23,104 --> 00:01:24,504
[Hollywood]
All right, now.
37
00:01:24,539 --> 00:01:26,379
Gonna be like my man,
um, who's always looking
38
00:01:26,407 --> 00:01:28,377
for people's roots
and family trees on TV.
39
00:01:28,409 --> 00:01:29,979
The next Henry Louis Gates.
Yes.
40
00:01:30,011 --> 00:01:32,741
Yeah, well, I think
we've had enough
roots-finding
41
00:01:32,780 --> 00:01:36,050
and done dodged enough trees
to fill a whole forest.
42
00:01:36,083 --> 00:01:37,883
[laughter]
43
00:01:37,919 --> 00:01:39,289
Thank you, Uncle Hollywood.
44
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:41,260
-Cheers.
-Thank you, Auntie Nova.
45
00:01:41,289 --> 00:01:42,929
[all]
Cheers.
46
00:01:42,957 --> 00:01:45,227
All right, well, we took
enough photos at Keke's house.
47
00:01:45,259 --> 00:01:46,899
Can we go? Yeah?
We're gonna be late.
48
00:01:46,928 --> 00:01:49,228
For which part?
The pre-prom, the prom,
49
00:01:49,263 --> 00:01:51,093
the post-prom,
the prom proposal,
50
00:01:51,132 --> 00:01:52,332
the prom entrances?
51
00:01:52,366 --> 00:01:53,736
I mean,
it's just so much.
52
00:01:53,768 --> 00:01:55,868
Nah, we're just gonna
keep it simple.
53
00:01:55,903 --> 00:01:57,803
We're just linking
with some friends
before we go to the prom.
54
00:01:57,838 --> 00:01:59,838
Couple of us put in
for a hotel suite, so...
55
00:01:59,874 --> 00:02:02,544
Okay, well, ordinarily,
I would say be home by 11:00,
56
00:02:02,577 --> 00:02:06,477
but tonight I'm just
gonna say have a good time.
57
00:02:06,514 --> 00:02:07,574
Thank you.
58
00:02:09,016 --> 00:02:11,616
Here, let me get
in there right quick.
Let me get in there.
59
00:02:11,652 --> 00:02:12,482
Flower.
60
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,120
Prom party
at the hotel, huh?
61
00:02:14,155 --> 00:02:16,185
-[chuckles]
-I remember them days.
62
00:02:16,224 --> 00:02:19,154
Now, all I'm gonna
tell you, brother,
is just be responsible.
63
00:02:19,193 --> 00:02:20,653
-Okay, young blood?
-Yeah, I hear you.
64
00:02:20,695 --> 00:02:23,165
-I hear you. I promise.
-All right.
65
00:02:23,197 --> 00:02:24,567
[Charley]
Hey, here you go.
66
00:02:24,599 --> 00:02:26,139
-Just in case.
-It's fine, Mom.
67
00:02:26,167 --> 00:02:27,437
-Just in case.
-No.
68
00:02:27,468 --> 00:02:29,038
The forecast said
light showers at most.
69
00:02:29,070 --> 00:02:31,210
Plus, we're gonna be inside
most of the night.
70
00:02:31,239 --> 00:02:32,639
Okay.
71
00:02:32,673 --> 00:02:34,373
-I'm good.
-Okay. Have fun.
72
00:02:34,408 --> 00:02:35,908
-Have fun.
-[Micah] Thank you.
73
00:02:35,943 --> 00:02:38,173
-Shall we?
-We shall.
74
00:02:38,212 --> 00:02:40,412
[Vi] Y'all have
a good time.
75
00:02:40,448 --> 00:02:42,718
All right. Bye, Auntie.
76
00:02:42,750 --> 00:02:44,720
[Charley] Turn around,
and give a little wave.
77
00:02:44,752 --> 00:02:46,352
Just over the shoulder.
Just a little wave.
78
00:02:46,387 --> 00:02:47,917
-Gosh.
-Just do it!
79
00:02:47,955 --> 00:02:49,485
[Hollywood] Looking like
a young El DeBarge over there.
80
00:02:49,523 --> 00:02:51,853
-[all laugh]
-Oh, Lord.
81
00:02:55,096 --> 00:02:56,596
¶ Dreams never die ¶
82
00:02:56,631 --> 00:02:59,131
¶ Take flight
As the world turns ¶
83
00:02:59,166 --> 00:03:00,596
¶ Dreams never die ¶

00:03:00,635 --> 00:03:02,365
¶ Take flight

00:03:02,403 --> 00:03:04,533

¶ Take flight ¶
87
00:03:07,141 --> 00:03:08,471
¶ Dreams never die ¶

00:03:14,448 --> 00:03:17,518
¶ Keep the colors

89
00:03:18,886 --> 00:03:21,656
¶ Keep the colors
In the lines, take flight ¶
90
00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:25,500
I remember
when Micah was a baby,
91
00:03:25,526 --> 00:03:27,796
just holding him
on my shoulder.
92
00:03:27,828 --> 00:03:29,798
He was so tiny.
93
00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:31,640
And now look at him.
94
00:03:31,666 --> 00:03:33,466
He's almost a grown man.
95
00:03:33,501 --> 00:03:36,161
Mm-hmm. You worried about what
he might be doing with Keke.
96
00:03:36,203 --> 00:03:38,573
No, I am not worried
about that.
97
00:03:38,606 --> 00:03:42,446
I raised him to do
the right thing.
98
00:03:42,476 --> 00:03:44,606
And I plan to keep myself
very busy
99
00:03:44,645 --> 00:03:47,415
not worrying about it
with this town hall
100
00:03:47,448 --> 00:03:48,718
to prepare for.
101
00:03:48,749 --> 00:03:50,489
-Sounds like a good plan.
-I just--
102
00:03:50,518 --> 00:03:51,858
I need to be
ready for anything
103
00:03:51,886 --> 00:03:54,486
the Landry-Boudreauxs
throw my way.
104
00:03:54,522 --> 00:03:56,922
The polls have tightened.
I can't take any chances.
105
00:03:56,957 --> 00:04:01,297
Oh, hey, well, the diner
is ready for your walk-through.
106
00:04:01,329 --> 00:04:04,129
You've got the key. If you need
anything, you just call me.
107
00:04:04,165 --> 00:04:06,035
-Thanks, Aunt Vi.
-[Vi] You're welcome, baby.
108
00:04:17,478 --> 00:04:20,778
I know you're worried
about the polls.
109
00:04:20,815 --> 00:04:23,245
I didn't want to share this
when we weren't speaking,
110
00:04:23,284 --> 00:04:25,284
but now...
111
00:04:25,319 --> 00:04:26,819
What is it?
112
00:04:26,854 --> 00:04:28,684
I learned something
on my book tour
113
00:04:28,723 --> 00:04:30,383
that I think you should know.
114
00:04:30,424 --> 00:04:32,624
I figured it's something
you could use at the debate
115
00:04:32,660 --> 00:04:35,070
to keep Jacob
off balance.
116
00:04:35,096 --> 00:04:39,066
Just in case you need more...
ammunition.
117
00:04:45,473 --> 00:04:46,703
[Deesha]
Cold and freshly made.
118
00:04:46,741 --> 00:04:48,971
Ah. Thank you.
Appreciate it.
119
00:04:49,009 --> 00:04:51,009
And you, of course.
120
00:04:51,045 --> 00:04:53,415
[children laughing]
121
00:04:53,447 --> 00:04:55,747
-Joie!
-Whoa! Ahh. Whoa, now.
122
00:04:55,783 --> 00:04:57,683
Joie Sonnier,
where are your manners?
123
00:04:57,718 --> 00:05:00,618
You didn't even speak
to Mr. Bordelon when he came in.
124
00:05:00,654 --> 00:05:02,754
Hello, Mr. Ralph Angel.
125
00:05:02,790 --> 00:05:04,230
And?
126
00:05:04,258 --> 00:05:05,698
-And thanks.
-Mm-mm.
127
00:05:05,726 --> 00:05:07,396
Thank you
for bringing Blue over.
128
00:05:07,428 --> 00:05:09,568
You are very welcome,
Miss Joie.
129
00:05:09,597 --> 00:05:12,467
Joie, you have to see
the spaceship Pops got.
130
00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:15,540
It has flames painted
on the wings and everything.
131
00:05:15,569 --> 00:05:17,009
Oh, it's right there.
132
00:05:21,208 --> 00:05:24,648
I can't tell you how sorry I am
for missing our last date.
133
00:05:24,678 --> 00:05:26,618
I should have
just been real with you
134
00:05:26,647 --> 00:05:28,387
about what's going on.
135
00:05:29,884 --> 00:05:31,484
Things happen.
136
00:05:34,088 --> 00:05:36,158
But is everything okay?
137
00:05:36,190 --> 00:05:40,230
I mean, it took a playdate with
our kids for me to even see you.
138
00:05:40,261 --> 00:05:42,491
Is there anything
I need to know?
139
00:05:43,531 --> 00:05:46,591
It's just kind of complicated.
140
00:05:47,835 --> 00:05:49,065
Well...
141
00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:55,849
Better get some snacks
before these kids get too antsy.
142
00:05:55,876 --> 00:05:58,006
-[thunder rumbling]
-[sighs]
143
00:05:58,979 --> 00:06:01,049
[Nova]
Try that last bit again.
144
00:06:02,450 --> 00:06:04,820
"My goal in running
for city council
145
00:06:04,852 --> 00:06:08,422
is to continue
to build a community
146
00:06:08,456 --> 00:06:09,956
that's better
for all of us.
147
00:06:09,990 --> 00:06:13,130
Just as St. Jo has made me
a better person,
148
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,200
I hope to give back--"
149
00:06:15,229 --> 00:06:16,999
Don't forget the people
in the side booths.
150
00:06:17,031 --> 00:06:18,191
Oh, right. Uh...
151
00:06:18,232 --> 00:06:19,892
"I welcome...
152
00:06:19,934 --> 00:06:23,064
I-I-I welcome
this opportunity today
153
00:06:23,103 --> 00:06:24,863
to help you get to know me
154
00:06:24,905 --> 00:06:28,745
and how we can use Prop K
to stop the incoming highway
155
00:06:28,776 --> 00:06:30,506
and fracking industry--"
156
00:06:30,544 --> 00:06:32,614
Miss Bordelon,
Jacob Boudreaux was born here,
157
00:06:32,646 --> 00:06:34,746
raised here.
Why should we trust you?
158
00:06:34,782 --> 00:06:37,642
A carpetbagger basketball wife
from Tinseltown?
159
00:06:37,685 --> 00:06:40,055
Wait. What? I'm not--
160
00:06:40,087 --> 00:06:42,127
I know, but if Jacob
throws you off like that
161
00:06:42,156 --> 00:06:44,626
or if you feel like
you're losing the crowd
or the local press,
162
00:06:44,658 --> 00:06:47,298
then you have got to change
the power dynamic.
163
00:06:47,328 --> 00:06:48,898
Turnabout is fair play here.
164
00:06:48,929 --> 00:06:51,129
-Throw him off his game.
-Control the narrative.
165
00:06:51,165 --> 00:06:54,665
Of course.
He's going to attack my past.
166
00:06:54,702 --> 00:06:56,902
My life is an open book now,
right?
167
00:06:56,937 --> 00:07:00,337
But theirs isn't.
Not yet.
168
00:07:00,374 --> 00:07:03,974
This would be the time to use
the info from the lineages book.
169
00:07:04,011 --> 00:07:06,911
It's completely unexpected,
puts them on the defensive,
170
00:07:06,947 --> 00:07:10,417
and shifts the narrative
back in your control.
171
00:07:10,451 --> 00:07:13,181
Are you even sure
that it's accurate?
172
00:07:14,421 --> 00:07:16,681
I mean, it's a lot.
173
00:07:16,724 --> 00:07:19,624
It is, but I went
back to the show
174
00:07:19,660 --> 00:07:21,630
to see the evidence
for myself.
175
00:07:21,662 --> 00:07:23,722
It's legit.

you just got good news.

Calvin.

00:07:33,908 --> 00:07:35,708
He's coming for my birthday.
180

Belated,
but he's coming anyway.
181
00:07:38,712 --> 00:07:41,212
Well, better late
than never.
182
00:07:41,248 --> 00:07:42,418
Go.
183
00:07:42,449 --> 00:07:44,689
Get home, and freshen up.

to be able to focus,

Yo, what happened to Ant?

00:10:29,850 --> 00:10:31,990
I thought he was gonna
ride over with you guys.
240
00:10:32,019 --> 00:10:34,189
Yeah, he called last minute
saying he wasn't really
like, feeling well,

-so he was gonna pass.
-Man.
242

You know, he probably
didn't feel comfortable

being around
a bunch of people.
244
00:10:39,126 --> 00:10:40,596
We just got to,
you know,

00:10:40,627 --> 00:10:42,067
-give him time.
-Right.
246
00:10:42,096 --> 00:10:45,066
Well, I suggest
we raise a toast.
247
00:10:45,099 --> 00:10:47,599
All right, y'all, to Ant.
248
00:10:47,634 --> 00:10:50,664
-And to his future.
-[all] To Ant.

Oof. Mm.
250
00:10:52,873 --> 00:10:54,373
Okay, I definitely
didn't need...
251
00:10:54,408 --> 00:10:56,378
-That's something.
-We should hold up on that

until the after-party.
253
00:10:57,711 --> 00:10:59,571
We at least want
to walk into prom sober.

What's the fun of that?

So speaking
of the after-party...

00:11:02,950 --> 00:11:05,020
so there was a little mix-up
when I went to check in.

but it seems like
somebody in this room

booked themselves a private room
down the hall.

I'm assuming for later.

get this one.

take our land, build a highway,

in order to support
fracking operations
280
00:12:01,842 --> 00:12:04,702
that will only build wealth
for a chosen few.

we can create a future."

scheduled for tomorrow morning.

This is my time.
287
00:12:22,529 --> 00:12:24,429
I know.
288
00:12:24,464 --> 00:12:26,134
I wanted
to talk to you,
289
00:12:26,166 --> 00:12:28,236
but you've ducked
my calls.
290
00:12:28,268 --> 00:12:31,568
Because I don't want
to talk to you.
291
00:12:31,605 --> 00:12:33,135
We're competitors.
292
00:12:34,007 --> 00:12:36,177
To say we're competitors
293
00:12:36,210 --> 00:12:38,310
would mean either one of us
could win this thing.
294
00:12:38,345 --> 00:12:40,915
But the truth is,
295
00:12:40,948 --> 00:12:43,418
you don't have
a chance to win.
296
00:12:43,450 --> 00:12:45,290
At all.
297
00:12:45,319 --> 00:12:46,459
I'm sorry.
298
00:12:48,188 --> 00:12:50,228
You think you've
got it in the bag?
299
00:12:50,257 --> 00:12:51,757
Charley, I've been told
it's a done deal
300
00:12:51,792 --> 00:12:53,422
and that I've already won.
301
00:12:53,460 --> 00:12:57,830
But I want to urge you
to get out before it's too late.
302
00:12:57,865 --> 00:13:00,195
The arrogance
of mediocre white men
303
00:13:00,234 --> 00:13:02,834
never ceases
to astound me.
304
00:13:02,870 --> 00:13:05,410
It's not arrogance,
Charley.
305
00:13:05,439 --> 00:13:06,779
It's power.
306
00:13:06,807 --> 00:13:08,207
I told you,
307
00:13:08,242 --> 00:13:10,972
my family stops at nothing
that gets in their way.
308
00:13:15,682 --> 00:13:18,512
My mother, for some reason,
is suddenly livid with you.

-I'll bet she is.
-Believe it or not,
310
00:13:21,521 --> 00:13:24,981
everything that's happened
'til now is just business.
311
00:13:25,025 --> 00:13:27,795
But she and the people
she's working with,
312
00:13:27,828 --> 00:13:30,598
they intend to destroy you
and your family...

Now it's gotten personal.

Now it's gotten
personal?

are weak,

didn't get wet.

for that motorcycle of yours?

Mm-hmm. You know
I wanted to ride today

They got all wet.

your receipt.

That's a bet you gonna lose,

I ain't getting on that thing.

You've been
a little quiet.
360
00:16:02,049 --> 00:16:03,389
I'm okay.
361
00:16:04,351 --> 00:16:06,381
Just got a lot
on my mind.
362
00:16:07,654 --> 00:16:09,484
I'm not mad or nothing.

What?
365
00:16:18,398 --> 00:16:21,098
I mean, since
it's looking doubtful
366
00:16:21,134 --> 00:16:24,304
we'll get out of here safely,
367
00:16:24,337 --> 00:16:27,437

some of my moves.

¶ It's the sweetest thing... ¶
377
00:17:01,441 --> 00:17:03,701
I'm sorry I didn't tell you
about the other room.
378
00:17:03,743 --> 00:17:08,773
I just kept it as a surprise.
379
00:17:08,815 --> 00:17:10,585
I know we made plans,
but...
380
00:17:12,152 --> 00:17:14,082
I didn't want
to assume anything.
381
00:17:15,155 --> 00:17:16,925
I didn't want you
to feel pressure.
382
00:17:16,957 --> 00:17:18,557
You know?
383
00:17:18,592 --> 00:17:20,922
I didn't want to be unprepared,
though, so I just got it--
384
00:17:20,961 --> 00:17:22,761
It's okay, Micah.
385
00:17:26,766 --> 00:17:29,336
I didn't want
to be unprepared, either.
386
00:17:29,369 --> 00:17:32,879
So that's why I went
on birth control pills
387
00:17:32,906 --> 00:17:34,606
six weeks ago.
388
00:17:36,877 --> 00:17:38,247
Okay.

[sighs]
390
00:17:41,515 --> 00:17:44,345
So we should get
the other room, or...
391
00:17:45,318 --> 00:17:47,518
I don't--I don't know.
392
00:17:47,554 --> 00:17:50,854
It doesn't feel like
what I thought it would be.
393
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,329
Yeah, I feel that way, too.

Ah...

I didn't make it back
to the farm today.
421

There's, um...
422

something I've been meaning
to tell you.

I ain't been all the way
honest with you, Deesha.
424

I've been going
to see Darla every day

for the last
two weeks now.
426

She, uh--
427
00:19:36,896 --> 00:19:38,726
she had a relapse

the night I missed
our date.
429
00:19:44,404 --> 00:19:47,034
Is she going to be okay?
430
00:19:47,073 --> 00:19:49,273
How is Blue doing
with all of this?
431
00:19:49,309 --> 00:19:50,849
Don't even know yet.
432
00:19:52,479 --> 00:19:53,849
She's trying to, you know...
433
00:19:55,482 --> 00:19:59,182
do all the steps
to recover first.
434
00:19:59,219 --> 00:20:04,459
Well, at least she's taking
her recovery seriously.
435
00:20:05,825 --> 00:20:07,725
Yeah. She is.
436

You didn't have
other obligations?
441
00:20:30,417 --> 00:20:34,787
Thing is,
ain't even obligations. I...
442
00:20:36,289 --> 00:20:37,959
I could just see now that...
443
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,370
if she hurtin', I'm hurtin'.
444
00:20:43,396 --> 00:20:46,396
If she bleed, I bleed.

of a choice at this point.

I'm still in love
with Darla.

What you just said is one
of the most beautiful things

a man could say to a woman.

But I'm not the woman
you're talking about,

to play second fiddle.

00:25:58,411 --> 00:26:02,071
Wow, so there's-- there's
nothing that you can do?
529
00:26:02,115 --> 00:26:03,985
I can promise to work with you
once I'm in office.
530
00:26:04,017 --> 00:26:06,687
No. No, that is
not good enough.
531
00:26:07,553 --> 00:26:09,283
Do better.
532
00:26:11,624 --> 00:26:14,594
I can't just drop out
of the race.
533
00:26:15,895 --> 00:26:19,225
But maybe I can find a way
to make myself unelectable,
534
00:26:19,265 --> 00:26:21,895
you know, throw the race.
535
00:26:26,172 --> 00:26:28,932
I think I can help you
with that.
536
00:26:38,851 --> 00:26:40,281
What are you doing
with a picture
537
00:26:40,319 --> 00:26:42,759
of my great-grandmother
Landry?
538
00:26:47,226 --> 00:26:48,596
Oh.
539
00:26:48,628 --> 00:26:50,198
God bless the rain.
540
00:26:52,198 --> 00:26:55,168
-Oh, we needed this, baby.
-Mm-hmm.
541
00:26:55,201 --> 00:26:57,001
No diner, no family.
542
00:26:57,036 --> 00:26:58,366
Just us.
543
00:26:58,404 --> 00:27:00,034
Shoot, I don't even remember
544
00:27:00,073 --> 00:27:01,973
the last time
I was this relaxed.
545
00:27:02,008 --> 00:27:03,648
See?
546
00:27:03,676 --> 00:27:06,716
You guys make fun
of us ladies
547
00:27:06,746 --> 00:27:10,086
for going for our spas
and massages.
548
00:27:11,818 --> 00:27:14,288
You need a little bit
of self-care yourself.
549
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,120
You ain't got
to convince me, baby.
550
00:27:16,155 --> 00:27:18,285
It's them other Joes
you talking about.
551
00:27:18,324 --> 00:27:20,994
I wonder if I could
convince them, though.
552
00:27:21,027 --> 00:27:22,697
I been hearing
about these places
553
00:27:22,729 --> 00:27:24,529
popping up
around the country.
554
00:27:24,564 --> 00:27:28,464
Black men just coming together,
sitting around,
555
00:27:28,501 --> 00:27:30,001
talking,
556
00:27:30,036 --> 00:27:32,136
giving each other advice.
557
00:27:32,171 --> 00:27:35,071
Lift each other up
when times get tough.
558
00:27:35,108 --> 00:27:36,608
Now, that's something
I could get down with.
559
00:27:36,642 --> 00:27:38,042
Ah, a support group?
560
00:27:38,077 --> 00:27:39,747
Nah, I can't call it that,
though.
561
00:27:39,779 --> 00:27:41,349
[both laugh]
562
00:27:41,380 --> 00:27:43,050
Thinking about calling it
"The Hangout."
563
00:27:43,082 --> 00:27:46,882
That sounds like a place
where folks get arrested.
564
00:27:46,919 --> 00:27:48,189
-You can do better.
-Okay.
565
00:27:48,221 --> 00:27:49,921
Well, what about--
what about...
566
00:27:49,956 --> 00:27:53,696
the St. Jo's Men's Social Club?
567
00:27:53,726 --> 00:27:56,426
Well, you told me
that I'm the only one
568
00:27:56,462 --> 00:27:59,622
where you feel like you could
talk to about the real stuff.
569
00:27:59,665 --> 00:28:01,195
Right?
570
00:28:01,234 --> 00:28:02,894
Well, if that's what you want
for this place,
571
00:28:02,935 --> 00:28:04,565
well, I don't know,
572
00:28:04,604 --> 00:28:07,904
maybe call it "The Real Stuff."
573
00:28:07,940 --> 00:28:12,450
Well, what about
"The Real Spot"?
574
00:28:12,478 --> 00:28:14,418
There it is. I like that.
575
00:28:14,447 --> 00:28:17,117
-[Hollywood] The Real Spot.
-[Violet] Yeah.
576
00:28:20,620 --> 00:28:22,490
[thunder rumbling]
577
00:28:22,522 --> 00:28:23,682
Thank you.
578
00:28:23,723 --> 00:28:25,183
Hey.
579
00:28:25,224 --> 00:28:28,524
You didn't have to do that
in all this rain.
580
00:28:28,561 --> 00:28:30,361
It's all good.
581
00:28:30,396 --> 00:28:32,696
Just wanted to see
how you getting through today.
582
00:28:32,732 --> 00:28:34,062
Like you did
the day before last
583
00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:36,540
and the day before that.
584
00:28:36,569 --> 00:28:40,209
Got you some chicken soup before
the rain shuts stuff down.
585
00:28:41,274 --> 00:28:43,244
That kind you like
from Poppa Joe's.
586
00:28:44,243 --> 00:28:45,273
Yeah.
587
00:28:46,345 --> 00:28:47,615
How you feeling?
588
00:28:47,647 --> 00:28:49,347
I took some time
off of work.
589
00:28:50,850 --> 00:28:52,220
I called Marlene.
590
00:28:52,251 --> 00:28:56,481
I'm trying to send her
my actions right now
591
00:28:56,522 --> 00:28:59,122
and not my feelings.
592
00:28:59,158 --> 00:29:00,958
That's what's up.
593
00:29:02,028 --> 00:29:04,368
Yeah, that's what's up.
594
00:29:05,598 --> 00:29:06,938
[sighs]
595
00:29:08,601 --> 00:29:11,031
Blue been wondering
about you.
596
00:29:12,238 --> 00:29:13,908
Told him you ain't
been feeling too good
597
00:29:13,940 --> 00:29:16,810
so you went down
to your mama's.
598
00:29:21,380 --> 00:29:23,250
Look, Darla, just...
599
00:29:25,284 --> 00:29:27,414
please don't take too long
before you see him.
600
00:29:28,788 --> 00:29:31,458
I really want
to see him, but, um...
601
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,670
but I just need
a little bit more time
602
00:29:37,697 --> 00:29:41,467
to make sure that I'm in
the right condition to do that.
603
00:29:48,741 --> 00:29:50,941
You know, I was
never really sure
604
00:29:50,977 --> 00:29:53,547
when we were gonna
see each other again.
605
00:29:55,081 --> 00:29:57,511
Didn't bother me
so much then.
606
00:29:59,151 --> 00:30:00,311
[laughs]
607
00:30:00,353 --> 00:30:01,583
But...
608
00:30:03,289 --> 00:30:06,329
to be honest
and tell my radical truth...
609
00:30:07,393 --> 00:30:08,393
that worked for me.
610
00:30:08,427 --> 00:30:10,827
It was painful
to be away from you,
611
00:30:10,863 --> 00:30:13,333
but I convinced myself
it was my choice.
612
00:30:13,366 --> 00:30:19,066
At all times,
I remained in control.
613
00:30:19,105 --> 00:30:21,505
[thunder rumbles]
614
00:30:23,142 --> 00:30:24,972
But I can't say
I was happy.
615
00:30:28,314 --> 00:30:29,914
And now?
616
00:30:29,949 --> 00:30:32,889
One thing about
writing a memoir,
617
00:30:32,919 --> 00:30:36,519
you have to face your fears
if you're gonna be authentic.
618
00:30:36,555 --> 00:30:39,485
I can see now that every
relationship I've ever been in
619
00:30:39,525 --> 00:30:45,325
had a built-in, impenetrable
barrier guarding my heart.
620
00:30:45,364 --> 00:30:49,134
With you, it was your race,
621
00:30:49,168 --> 00:30:52,538
your marriage, your kids...
622
00:30:53,639 --> 00:30:55,279
your job.
623
00:30:56,409 --> 00:30:57,809
And now--
624
00:30:57,843 --> 00:30:59,303
Living in two cities.
625
00:31:01,580 --> 00:31:05,520
Maybe our schedules
are something else.
626
00:31:08,587 --> 00:31:10,957
So you're saying I have
a fear of commitment.
627
00:31:10,990 --> 00:31:12,960
No, I'm saying
you were able to commit
628
00:31:12,992 --> 00:31:14,852
because we had distance.
629
00:31:14,894 --> 00:31:16,294
[scoffs]
630
00:31:23,135 --> 00:31:25,265
What if we didn't
have the distance?
631
00:31:27,039 --> 00:31:29,179
What if we threw caution
out the window?
632
00:31:29,208 --> 00:31:33,048
Maybe our happiness
is on the other side
633
00:31:33,079 --> 00:31:35,319
of what we're
comfortable with.
634
00:31:37,016 --> 00:31:39,286
And out of living
in other people's boxes.
635
00:31:42,888 --> 00:31:44,188
Not even our own.
636
00:31:44,223 --> 00:31:47,693
¶ Starve my heart of ecstasy ¶
637
00:31:47,727 --> 00:31:49,797
[thunder crashes]
638
00:31:49,829 --> 00:31:54,039
¶ When you're not
The one in front of me ¶
639
00:31:55,901 --> 00:31:57,831
¶ So I crave no other ¶
640
00:31:57,870 --> 00:32:01,710
¶ Said I'm cravin' you ¶
641
00:32:04,944 --> 00:32:07,514
-Okay, Malik, you start.
-[Malik] All right.
642
00:32:07,546 --> 00:32:11,146
Where do I see myself
10, 20 years from now?
643
00:32:11,183 --> 00:32:13,453
Well, by then,
I'll have at least five Grammys.
644
00:32:13,486 --> 00:32:15,916
-[Asha] Five?
-Mm-hmm. Go big, or go home.
645
00:32:15,955 --> 00:32:17,455
That's what I always say.
646
00:32:17,490 --> 00:32:19,260
-Since when?
-[Malik] Since right now.
647
00:32:19,291 --> 00:32:22,991
I'm gonna be
living bicoastal,
648
00:32:23,029 --> 00:32:24,729
producing albums
for all the top artists,
649
00:32:24,764 --> 00:32:28,264
and all just dying
for that Strickland sound, brah.
650
00:32:28,300 --> 00:32:29,800
That Strickland sound.
651
00:32:29,835 --> 00:32:31,135
That actually sounds dope.
652
00:32:31,170 --> 00:32:33,540
-Yeah, it does.
-What about you?
653
00:32:33,572 --> 00:32:36,772
I plan to have a whole chain
of urgent care clinics
654
00:32:36,809 --> 00:32:38,149
all throughout Louisiana,
655
00:32:38,177 --> 00:32:40,177
just offering
low-cost healthcare
656
00:32:40,212 --> 00:32:43,712
to those who can least
afford to pay.
657
00:32:43,749 --> 00:32:45,089
That's awesome, Asha.
658
00:32:45,117 --> 00:32:46,487
And you're gonna do it.
659
00:32:46,519 --> 00:32:47,589
[all]
Yeah.
660
00:32:47,620 --> 00:32:50,130
And the slogan
posted in all my offices
661
00:32:50,156 --> 00:32:52,556
is gonna be,
"Do no harm..."
662
00:32:52,591 --> 00:32:53,951
[all]
"...But take no shit."
663
00:32:53,993 --> 00:32:55,823
Y'all already know.
664
00:32:55,861 --> 00:32:58,421
And when them whack-ass
insurance companies
try to shut you down,
665
00:32:58,464 --> 00:33:00,664
I can defend you
with my law firm.
666
00:33:00,699 --> 00:33:02,969
Oh, so you're finally going
to put that big mouth to--
667
00:33:03,002 --> 00:33:06,362
-I mean, that big voice to use?
-All right, whatever.
668
00:33:06,405 --> 00:33:08,175
Wow.
669
00:33:08,207 --> 00:33:09,407
-Right.
-But, yeah.
670
00:33:09,442 --> 00:33:11,272
I plan to start a bail bond
671
00:33:11,310 --> 00:33:13,310
for all our brothers
and sisters, you know,
672
00:33:13,345 --> 00:33:16,415
the ones locked up
for months or years pretrial
673
00:33:16,449 --> 00:33:18,819
because they can't, what,
come up with a hundred
674
00:33:18,851 --> 00:33:20,281
or a couple thousand dollars?
675
00:33:20,319 --> 00:33:21,789
-[Asha] Yeah.
-Yeah.
676
00:33:21,821 --> 00:33:24,821
Think of it like
an Innocence Project and ACLU
677
00:33:24,857 --> 00:33:27,227
-all wrapped in one.
-[Micah] Wow, I respect that.
678
00:33:27,259 --> 00:33:29,059
[Keke]
Well, in ten years,
679
00:33:29,095 --> 00:33:31,025
I will be flying to New York
680
00:33:31,063 --> 00:33:33,993
to present my latest
art installation
681
00:33:34,033 --> 00:33:36,533
right before I jet off to D.C.
682
00:33:36,569 --> 00:33:39,339
to unveil
my commissioned collection
683
00:33:39,371 --> 00:33:41,401
in the African-American Museum.
684
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:42,810
Okay.
685
00:33:42,842 --> 00:33:45,372
That's what's up.
That's what's up.
686
00:33:45,411 --> 00:33:47,511
Well, how about you, Micah?
687
00:33:52,918 --> 00:33:54,458
I don't know.
688
00:33:56,021 --> 00:33:58,581
I don't know. I'm...
689
00:34:01,460 --> 00:34:04,000
I mean, I guess I'm...
690
00:34:04,029 --> 00:34:06,699
liking my photography
more and more.
691
00:34:07,766 --> 00:34:10,336
I hear a "but" coming.
692
00:34:10,369 --> 00:34:12,809
-But, uh...
-There you go.
693
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,740
I don't know. I feel like,
when it's all said and done,
694
00:34:16,775 --> 00:34:18,805
I'll be doing
something respectable,
695
00:34:18,844 --> 00:34:23,344
like investment banking
or hedge funds.
696
00:34:23,382 --> 00:34:25,412
-Hmm.
-All right.
697
00:34:28,354 --> 00:34:31,124
I've made up my mind
about something,
698
00:34:31,157 --> 00:34:33,327
and I hope
you like it.
699
00:34:35,094 --> 00:34:37,664
Now I'm curious.
700
00:34:37,696 --> 00:34:38,826
What is it?
701
00:34:39,632 --> 00:34:41,562
I'm moving back
to New Orleans.
702
00:34:42,835 --> 00:34:45,565
I would much rather commute
to work in Baton Rouge,
703
00:34:45,604 --> 00:34:47,874
if that allows us
to have something real.
704
00:34:50,242 --> 00:34:53,772
I don't want any more
strange looks from your family,
705
00:34:53,812 --> 00:34:56,142
whether or not
I'm that married cop
706
00:34:56,182 --> 00:34:57,682
who played around
on his wife.
707
00:34:59,818 --> 00:35:02,358
That guy in your book,
I'm not that guy.
708
00:35:06,759 --> 00:35:08,559
Sounds nice.
709
00:35:10,029 --> 00:35:11,729
Like a dream.
710
00:35:11,764 --> 00:35:14,194
It could be real.
711
00:35:16,101 --> 00:35:17,531
Say yes.
712
00:35:17,570 --> 00:35:18,840
To what?
713
00:35:18,871 --> 00:35:20,471
To us.
714
00:35:22,575 --> 00:35:24,375
To happiness.
715
00:35:39,525 --> 00:35:41,325
This soup hitting,
ain't it?
716
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,230
And it's the perfect day
for it.
717
00:35:43,262 --> 00:35:45,092
Mm-hmm.
718
00:35:45,130 --> 00:35:46,330
[sighs]
719
00:35:46,365 --> 00:35:48,065
Thank you, Ralph Angel,
720
00:35:48,100 --> 00:35:49,910
for keeping me company.
721
00:35:51,470 --> 00:35:53,340
I know you didn't have to.
722
00:36:07,786 --> 00:36:09,316
It's all good.
723
00:36:11,023 --> 00:36:12,683
[sighs]
724
00:36:15,027 --> 00:36:16,967
[thunder crashing]
725
00:36:29,308 --> 00:36:31,808
You don't owe me
anything.
726
00:36:31,844 --> 00:36:33,744
I know that.
727
00:36:33,779 --> 00:36:35,819
But I...
728
00:36:35,848 --> 00:36:37,748
I would like to know...
729
00:36:39,251 --> 00:36:41,211
why do you keep coming?
730
00:36:43,922 --> 00:36:45,522
Just 'cause
we ain't together
731
00:36:45,557 --> 00:36:48,657
don't mean I don't care
about you no more.
732
00:36:51,797 --> 00:36:52,997
I have to.
733
00:36:55,267 --> 00:36:57,407
For my own peace of mind,
really.
734
00:36:58,504 --> 00:36:59,974
What do you mean?
735
00:37:03,008 --> 00:37:05,348
All I could think about...
736
00:37:09,081 --> 00:37:12,011
is them
two piece-of-shit bastards
737
00:37:12,051 --> 00:37:13,881
that hurt you.
738
00:37:13,919 --> 00:37:16,259
Ain't nobody
was there for you then.
739
00:37:17,389 --> 00:37:20,059
I don't ever
want you to feel like
740
00:37:20,092 --> 00:37:22,252
nobody's there for you again.
741
00:37:23,195 --> 00:37:24,965
Keep it a hundred,
742
00:37:24,997 --> 00:37:26,467
relapsing...
743
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,610
man, it scared the hell
out of me, Darla,
744
00:37:30,636 --> 00:37:31,866
a lot.
745
00:37:33,405 --> 00:37:35,475
For Blue. Yeah.
746
00:37:38,877 --> 00:37:40,317
For me, too.
747
00:37:41,313 --> 00:37:42,643
[sighs]
748
00:37:44,550 --> 00:37:46,550
It scared me, too.
749
00:37:46,585 --> 00:37:49,415
I ain't felt like that since...
750
00:37:49,455 --> 00:37:51,885
since we first
got together...
751
00:37:54,426 --> 00:37:55,926
before we had Blue.
752
00:37:57,663 --> 00:38:02,463
Man, I spent so much time
just worrying about you.
753
00:38:02,501 --> 00:38:05,301
"Did she make it
in her dorm okay?"
754
00:38:05,337 --> 00:38:07,707
"Hope she had
a good breakfast."
755
00:38:09,475 --> 00:38:11,445
Stupid stuff like that.
756
00:38:13,112 --> 00:38:15,112
It's not stupid.
757
00:38:15,147 --> 00:38:16,617
It's sweet.
758
00:38:17,816 --> 00:38:20,316
Thing is,
759
00:38:20,352 --> 00:38:21,682
nobody tell you...
760
00:38:22,888 --> 00:38:27,458
that loving somebody
could hurt so much.
761
00:38:27,493 --> 00:38:30,763
Always terrified
762
00:38:30,796 --> 00:38:33,466
of losing all the things
you prayed for.
763
00:38:36,001 --> 00:38:37,861
I prayed for you.
764
00:38:38,937 --> 00:38:40,507
I still do.
765
00:38:43,342 --> 00:38:44,772
I pray that...
766
00:38:46,178 --> 00:38:48,318
you could forgive me
one day.
767
00:38:48,347 --> 00:38:50,517
I already told you, I do.
768
00:38:51,884 --> 00:38:54,014
I mean it.
769
00:38:54,052 --> 00:38:55,412
I mean...
770
00:38:56,288 --> 00:38:58,428
really forgive me.
771
00:38:59,558 --> 00:39:01,998
-Forgive me enough to go back...
-[sighs]
772
00:39:04,263 --> 00:39:06,363
to what we had before.
773
00:39:20,946 --> 00:39:23,916
Think you could
ever think about...
774
00:39:25,951 --> 00:39:27,511
us again?
775
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,788
I always do.
776
00:39:33,559 --> 00:39:36,099
I don't think
I never really stopped.
777
00:39:39,898 --> 00:39:41,898
Thanks again for that info.
778
00:39:41,934 --> 00:39:46,204
I think it's going to work in
ways we couldn't have imagined.
779
00:39:46,238 --> 00:39:47,408
Turn on the news.
780
00:39:47,439 --> 00:39:49,409
[types]
781
00:39:49,441 --> 00:39:52,941
It's come to my attention
that Landry Enterprises
782
00:39:52,978 --> 00:39:55,818
has a biased pricing structure
based on race.
783
00:39:55,848 --> 00:39:57,548
That is unacceptable to me.
784
00:39:57,583 --> 00:40:01,253
In order to be a better
candidate for all of St. Jo,
785
00:40:01,286 --> 00:40:02,916
I know I must own
my responsibility
786
00:40:02,955 --> 00:40:05,125
in how things have been done.
787
00:40:05,157 --> 00:40:07,327
That is why I pulled out
of tonight's town hall
788
00:40:07,359 --> 00:40:10,259
and instead have ordered
an immediate audit
789
00:40:10,295 --> 00:40:12,425
to overhaul
the pricing structure
790
00:40:12,464 --> 00:40:14,134
at Landry Enterprises.
791
00:40:14,166 --> 00:40:17,436
Enough talk.
It's time for action.
792
00:40:17,469 --> 00:40:18,839
What is th--
793
00:40:18,871 --> 00:40:20,061
Wait for it.
794
00:40:20,105 --> 00:40:21,605
Recently I have
received information
795
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,280
that has impacted me
to my core.
796
00:40:24,309 --> 00:40:26,449
I share it with you today,
797
00:40:26,478 --> 00:40:28,748
because I believe
all of us in St. Jo
798
00:40:28,780 --> 00:40:31,420
should see each other
as one big family.
799
00:40:31,450 --> 00:40:33,920
I have learned
my great-grandmother Landry
800
00:40:33,952 --> 00:40:36,652
was a proud
African-American woman.
801
00:40:36,688 --> 00:40:38,958
She was, in fact,
802
00:40:38,991 --> 00:40:41,421
secretly a member
of the Bordelon family.
803
00:40:41,460 --> 00:40:45,900
I never expected this,
but I wish to say publicly,
804
00:40:45,931 --> 00:40:49,291
I embrace the diversity
of my heritage.
805
00:40:49,334 --> 00:40:53,604
Going forward,
my goal is to educate myself
806
00:40:53,639 --> 00:40:55,279
on the histories
between our communities
807
00:40:55,307 --> 00:40:57,877
and use that knowledge
to be an ally
808
00:40:57,910 --> 00:41:01,350
and support real change
in St. Jo.
809
00:41:01,380 --> 00:41:02,780
Thank you.
810
00:41:02,814 --> 00:41:04,544
[Nova] Now,
that's a bold move,
811
00:41:04,583 --> 00:41:06,683
but this won't
win him more votes?
812
00:41:06,718 --> 00:41:09,288
If we play this right,
he'll lose 10%,
813
00:41:09,321 --> 00:41:12,051
maybe 15% of his white voters,
814
00:41:12,090 --> 00:41:13,960
the ones who are
blatantly racist.
815
00:41:13,992 --> 00:41:17,722
And the small percentage
of black supporters he has
816
00:41:17,763 --> 00:41:19,723
will reconsider their support
once they start to feel
817
00:41:19,765 --> 00:41:23,635
he's pandering
his newfound ethnicity.
818
00:41:23,669 --> 00:41:25,439
And that should be enough
819
00:41:25,470 --> 00:41:27,580
to tip the race
in my favor.
820
00:41:27,606 --> 00:41:29,476
It's bold, Charley,
821
00:41:29,508 --> 00:41:30,778
Risky,
822
00:41:30,809 --> 00:41:32,879
for you and Jacob.
823
00:41:32,911 --> 00:41:34,911
The Landrys,
the Boudreauxs,
824
00:41:34,947 --> 00:41:36,817
and whomever else they're
working with behind the scenes,
825
00:41:36,848 --> 00:41:40,518
I don't think they handle losing
very well.
826
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,090
Yeah, well...
827
00:41:43,121 --> 00:41:44,751
neither do I.
828
00:42:24,896 --> 00:42:26,966
[woman]
Go, Ree-Ree.
