1
00:00:01,076 --> 00:00:02,817
[man] Previously on
Queen Sugar.
2
00:00:02,819 --> 00:00:05,004
[Hollywood] We knew this da
was coming and we pray for i
3
00:00:05,006 --> 00:00:06,213
for their sake.
4
00:00:06,215 --> 00:00:08,257
I just didn't know
it would hurt so much.
5
00:00:08,259 --> 00:00:09,383
They're calling
a school board meeting
6
00:00:09,385 --> 00:00:11,385
to vote on banning your work.
7
00:00:11,462 --> 00:00:13,762
This is insane.
We can't back down.
8
00:00:13,839 --> 00:00:15,848
-You raped me.
-You really wanna out
yourself?
9
00:00:15,850 --> 00:00:17,141
You did what you did
10
00:00:17,184 --> 00:00:18,809
and I will make sure
that you pay.
11
00:00:18,811 --> 00:00:21,478
No, if you're saying
that the summer with her
12
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:22,771
is the summer
that changed everything.
13
00:00:22,773 --> 00:00:24,005
Hey.
14
00:00:24,083 --> 00:00:25,441
I didn't think you want
to hear from me.
15
00:00:25,443 --> 00:00:27,609
I would love to catch up.
16
00:00:38,122 --> 00:00:42,708
-You still go to
skate country?
-Skate country?
17
00:00:42,785 --> 00:00:45,502
Not since tearing up
the rink for Billy.
18
00:00:45,504 --> 00:00:47,129
And you.
19
00:00:47,206 --> 00:00:49,256
You could barely skate,
but please,
20
00:00:49,333 --> 00:00:50,591
-with those little
booty shorts.
-[laughs]
21
00:00:50,593 --> 00:00:52,051
Don't treat me like that.
22
00:00:52,053 --> 00:00:54,845
By the end of junior year,
I was putting y'all to shame.
23
00:00:54,847 --> 00:00:57,598
It just took me a minute
to get my legs.
24
00:00:57,674 --> 00:00:59,224
Okay, okay,
if that's your story.
25
00:00:59,301 --> 00:01:00,768
It is
26
00:01:00,770 --> 00:01:02,144
and I'm sticking to it.
27
00:01:04,982 --> 00:01:06,607
Oh.
28
00:01:08,986 --> 00:01:11,153
You know when I look
at you now...
29
00:01:12,198 --> 00:01:14,865
Feels like time stood still.
30
00:01:14,867 --> 00:01:17,326
Like I'm a teenager
all over again
31
00:01:17,328 --> 00:01:18,619
minus the press and curl.
32
00:01:18,695 --> 00:01:20,996
Oh, the press and curl
was fire.
33
00:01:20,998 --> 00:01:22,664
Those little Alia bangs.
34
00:01:22,666 --> 00:01:24,458
You look sexy as hell.
35
00:01:24,794 --> 00:01:26,143
Thanks.
36
00:01:26,145 --> 00:01:28,337
But never will a hot comb
torch my ears again.
37
00:01:28,413 --> 00:01:32,007
-Yeah.
-Some things are better left
in the past.
38
00:01:32,084 --> 00:01:34,760
I'm glad our connection
is the one of them.
39
00:01:37,765 --> 00:01:39,306
I'm happy we're back in touch.
40
00:01:40,101 --> 00:01:41,517
Me too.
41
00:01:41,727 --> 00:01:43,310
Hmm.
42
00:01:44,146 --> 00:01:46,647
So you stay pretty close
to home.
43
00:01:46,649 --> 00:01:47,689
Mm-hmm.
44
00:01:47,766 --> 00:01:49,316
You never wanted to move away?
45
00:01:49,860 --> 00:01:50,943
Not really.
46
00:01:51,737 --> 00:01:53,612
I love Louisiana.
47
00:01:54,949 --> 00:01:57,616
There's something about
this little piece
of the world.
48
00:01:59,286 --> 00:02:03,122
The way the cypress trees sway
and got that one rhythm.
49
00:02:03,124 --> 00:02:06,583
Big sky filled with 1000 stars
at night.
50
00:02:06,627 --> 00:02:10,254
And people not always behaving
the way you'd like, but...
51
00:02:11,132 --> 00:02:13,006
loving you no matter what.
52
00:02:13,008 --> 00:02:15,759
I wish I saw this place
the way you do.
53
00:02:16,971 --> 00:02:19,096
And I love St. Joe,
it's just...
54
00:02:20,266 --> 00:02:22,224
didn't always love me.
55
00:02:25,062 --> 00:02:29,481
You know, I think that idea
that this place
56
00:02:29,558 --> 00:02:30,941
didn't always love you.
57
00:02:32,111 --> 00:02:34,236
It's a story you've told
yourself.
58
00:02:36,824 --> 00:02:39,491
Maybe it's time you told
yourself a new story.
59
00:02:40,828 --> 00:02:43,203
One where you're not
the victim.
60
00:02:43,831 --> 00:02:45,722
You're the hero.
61
00:02:51,422 --> 00:02:56,049

Take flight as

62

00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:24,912
Joaquin, I'm just glad
that y'all are getting
settled.
68
00:03:25,581 --> 00:03:27,915
What you remember
what I told you?
69
00:03:27,917 --> 00:03:32,502
We're family. So you need
anything, let us know.
70
00:03:32,546 --> 00:03:35,964
We're here.
Okay, hold on, hold on.
71
00:03:36,041 --> 00:03:37,424
Thank you.
72
00:03:38,010 --> 00:03:39,843
Joaquin, my man.
73
00:03:39,845 --> 00:03:42,971
Hey, don't forget to tell
Dante that I need
74
00:03:43,048 --> 00:03:45,599
y'all help getting
True North back
on that water.
75
00:03:45,935 --> 00:03:48,518
[laughs] Yeah.
76
00:03:48,562 --> 00:03:49,895
All right.
77
00:03:52,316 --> 00:03:54,024
[sighs]
78
00:03:57,905 --> 00:03:59,154
Come here, baby.
79
00:04:01,533 --> 00:04:03,450
Come here, my love.
80
00:04:05,079 --> 00:04:06,703
Yeah.
81
00:04:07,581 --> 00:04:09,206
Yeah, I miss him too.
82
00:04:10,084 --> 00:04:12,626
I mean, it's ripe, you know?
83
00:04:13,295 --> 00:04:15,379
They're with their father.
84
00:04:15,381 --> 00:04:19,216
Lord knows they deserve
to be a family again.
85
00:04:19,551 --> 00:04:23,637
It's just... [sighs]
86
00:04:23,714 --> 00:04:26,807
I had given up all thoughts
of having children
87
00:04:26,809 --> 00:04:28,558
and then the boys...
88
00:04:30,312 --> 00:04:33,105
had me feeling things
that I pushed down
89
00:04:33,181 --> 00:04:35,148
way deep inside of me.
90
00:04:35,442 --> 00:04:37,442
And those...
91
00:04:37,444 --> 00:04:40,529
feelings have started
to come back.
92
00:04:41,490 --> 00:04:43,031
Shae.
93
00:04:43,826 --> 00:04:46,118
You know it ain't got
to be that way.
94
00:04:47,788 --> 00:04:50,789
All those empty spaces
that you got,
95
00:04:50,791 --> 00:04:52,624
and they can be filled.
96
00:04:54,461 --> 00:04:57,379
Baby, you got a whole lot
of loving.
97
00:04:57,381 --> 00:04:59,798
There's children out there
who need it.
98
00:05:03,012 --> 00:05:05,220
Should we think about
fostering again?
99
00:05:08,642 --> 00:05:11,268
I thought about it.
100
00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:15,731
But no one that,
we gotta let him go,
that's hard for me.
101
00:05:16,942 --> 00:05:19,943
With Blue, with the boys.
102
00:05:19,945 --> 00:05:21,069
They move on.
103
00:05:21,071 --> 00:05:23,572
Well, maybe.
104
00:05:23,607 --> 00:05:28,201
Maybe you could take
that love that you have
for that one child
105
00:05:29,371 --> 00:05:31,747
and give it to the next one.
106
00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:35,792
And then after that,
you give it to the next one
107
00:05:35,794 --> 00:05:39,963
and pretty soon you'll have
a whole world of children.
108
00:05:39,965 --> 00:05:44,843
Knows what the love
of Violet Bordelon-Desonier
feels like
109
00:05:45,679 --> 00:05:48,055
and that should be enough
to keep you going.
110
00:06:09,036 --> 00:06:10,577
Talked to Blue this morning?
111
00:06:10,579 --> 00:06:11,953
Mm-hmm.
112
00:06:12,414 --> 00:06:14,164
He talked my ear off.
113
00:06:14,166 --> 00:06:15,957
He has a field trip later.
114
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:19,961
So, you know how much he loves
his explorations.
115
00:06:21,131 --> 00:06:24,049
Like him being in
the same city is at best.
116
00:06:25,010 --> 00:06:26,510
Don't sit right with me.
117
00:06:27,304 --> 00:06:31,890
I know, but... he's okay.
118
00:06:31,892 --> 00:06:36,353
He will never find out
what any of this.
119
00:06:37,439 --> 00:06:42,609
Not until or if we ever decide
to tell him.
120
00:06:42,686 --> 00:06:45,237
Maybe we should tell him.
I mean, what if he finds out
121
00:06:45,239 --> 00:06:47,447
-on his own?
-Not yet.
122
00:06:47,449 --> 00:06:50,826
-I mean, everything comes
out eventually, Darla.
-Not now.
123
00:06:53,997 --> 00:06:54,996
[sighs]
124
00:06:58,710 --> 00:07:00,210
[exhales]
125
00:07:01,088 --> 00:07:03,630
And he ain't say nothing
about making him pay
126
00:07:03,632 --> 00:07:05,507
for the part of the plant.
127
00:07:05,509 --> 00:07:07,300
He's not paying.
128
00:07:09,513 --> 00:07:12,722
He's donating to the farmers,
129
00:07:14,393 --> 00:07:16,143
to this community.
130
00:07:16,812 --> 00:07:18,645
He's not paying for Blue.
131
00:07:19,314 --> 00:07:21,022
He's not paying me.
132
00:07:23,402 --> 00:07:25,193
And once a month,
133
00:07:27,156 --> 00:07:28,947
I'll have to face
what he did to me.
134
00:07:28,949 --> 00:07:30,532
[scoffs]
135
00:07:30,534 --> 00:07:32,784
I don't think he think
about nothing but himself.
136
00:07:32,786 --> 00:07:35,287
You might be right,
but does it even really matter
what he thinks.
137
00:07:35,363 --> 00:07:37,164
It matters what I think.
138
00:07:38,250 --> 00:07:42,711
And since that day,
I've been thinking
differently.
139
00:07:44,673 --> 00:07:46,214
I'm not afraid.
140
00:07:47,926 --> 00:07:49,718
I'm ashamed.
141
00:07:50,596 --> 00:07:51,928
I'm here.
142
00:07:55,142 --> 00:07:56,558
And all is well.
143
00:08:00,898 --> 00:08:02,606
Well, I'm proud of you.
144
00:08:04,568 --> 00:08:06,526
An Orion's get together.
145
00:08:06,528 --> 00:08:08,778
We here to talk what we came
to talk about.
146
00:08:08,780 --> 00:08:11,114
That's all the most of y'all
are in, right?
147
00:08:11,116 --> 00:08:13,617
The real dads on duty,
they started Shreveport
148
00:08:13,619 --> 00:08:16,953
armed with nothing
but fatherly love
149
00:08:17,372 --> 00:08:18,788
and dad jokes.
150
00:08:18,832 --> 00:08:20,707
And that may change lives.
151
00:08:20,784 --> 00:08:22,876
Now I propose that
we do something like
that down here.
152
00:08:22,953 --> 00:08:24,728
Okay.
153
00:08:24,730 --> 00:08:26,588
And our kids, man,
they're getting hit
with way too much for us
154
00:08:26,590 --> 00:08:28,381
not to be guiding them.
155
00:08:28,383 --> 00:08:30,342
You got the pandemic,
you got Black folks
156
00:08:30,344 --> 00:08:33,720
dying on tape and being shown
on TV with ease.
157
00:08:33,722 --> 00:08:36,890
Got Trump's foolishness,
social media manipulation,
158
00:08:36,967 --> 00:08:38,683
mass shootings.
159
00:08:38,685 --> 00:08:40,602
Things have definitely gotten
worse since I was
in high school.
160
00:08:40,604 --> 00:08:42,229
And you know why?
School was supposed to be
161
00:08:42,231 --> 00:08:44,606
a safe place, a safe
environment to learn
162
00:08:44,608 --> 00:08:46,274
and to grow. Not to be seeing
all of these fights
163
00:08:46,276 --> 00:08:47,751
and being bullied.
164
00:08:47,753 --> 00:08:50,153
Especially hard for
the sensitive kids like Blue.
165
00:08:50,197 --> 00:08:53,114
-All these kids
be stressed, really.
-Posttraumatic stress.
166
00:08:53,116 --> 00:08:55,116
You know, we got them
school board meeting's
coming up.
167
00:08:55,118 --> 00:08:57,786
Tensions are high.
We can be there
to calm it down.
168
00:08:57,862 --> 00:09:01,665
Not for the parents, yes.
But especially for the kids.
169
00:09:01,708 --> 00:09:04,751
And that principal over there,
he ain't doing nothing
170
00:09:04,786 --> 00:09:06,461
but sitting around waiting
for retirement
171
00:09:06,538 --> 00:09:09,047
while kids like Dante,
and them other young 'uns
172
00:09:09,049 --> 00:09:11,633
over there suffering
and losing they way.
173
00:09:11,710 --> 00:09:13,885
Any kid shouldn't have
to go through that at school.
174
00:09:13,887 --> 00:09:16,263
Or getting shot. You know,
now getting a education
175
00:09:16,265 --> 00:09:17,781
has you in the line of fire.
176
00:09:17,783 --> 00:09:20,350
We should have kids at school
thinking they're safe.
177
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:21,935
One day they don't come home
no more.
178
00:09:22,012 --> 00:09:23,562
-That ain't right.
-That's a damn shame.
179
00:09:23,638 --> 00:09:25,438
I'm about with whatever
you're doing.
180
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,107
-Count me in.
-Count me in. I'm there.
181
00:09:27,109 --> 00:09:28,733
Yeah, me too.
182
00:09:28,735 --> 00:09:31,570
Bottom line is, fellas,
if we don't step up
and show up,
183
00:09:31,572 --> 00:09:32,821
who will?
184
00:09:32,823 --> 00:09:34,864
We ain't gonna be waiting
for nobody else.
185
00:09:34,866 --> 00:09:36,866
No, we have to make
the change.
186
00:09:36,868 --> 00:09:39,327
We are for change.
187
00:09:39,404 --> 00:09:40,912
-Right.
-Who's with me?
188
00:09:40,914 --> 00:09:42,414
-Hey, man.
-Let's do it.
189
00:09:42,416 --> 00:09:43,832
Dads on Patrol!
190
00:09:44,084 --> 00:09:45,250
[man] I'm down.
191
00:09:45,252 --> 00:09:48,587
So what did I miss
at the last one of these?
192
00:09:48,589 --> 00:09:52,048
-Just give me the highlights.
-Okay. Um...
193
00:09:52,050 --> 00:09:55,802
I went to college, traveled
a little.
194
00:09:55,879 --> 00:09:58,555
Not as much as I wanted to,
but I'd love to get a feel
195
00:09:58,557 --> 00:10:00,015
for the world, what's out
there.
196
00:10:00,017 --> 00:10:01,415
Um...
197
00:10:01,417 --> 00:10:06,062
Then got real activated
and settled on the Ninth.
198
00:10:06,064 --> 00:10:08,607
Worked for a newspaper.
Wrote a book.
199
00:10:08,683 --> 00:10:09,816
Hmm.
200
00:10:09,818 --> 00:10:11,151
I read it.
201
00:10:12,237 --> 00:10:14,696
I'm glad you're still writing.
202
00:10:14,698 --> 00:10:16,573
I always said you were
gonna be the next bell hooks.
203
00:10:16,575 --> 00:10:18,908
I don't know about that.
204
00:10:18,952 --> 00:10:21,494
I still have that book of hers
that you got me.
205
00:10:22,873 --> 00:10:25,498
You used to read me
passages out in the cane.
206
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:27,626
Looking up at the stars.
207
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,754
"The moment we choose
to love..."
208
00:10:30,797 --> 00:10:33,506
"...we begin
to move towards..."
209
00:10:35,636 --> 00:10:38,595
All right, your turn.
Highlights, please.
210
00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:41,181
-[both laugh]
-Well, after high school,
211
00:10:41,183 --> 00:10:43,433
I worked in the store
212
00:10:43,435 --> 00:10:45,310
and I moved to St. Martin's.
213
00:10:45,979 --> 00:10:47,520
I met my wife.
214
00:10:48,231 --> 00:10:49,689
Ex-wife.
215
00:10:49,766 --> 00:10:52,609
Pretty recent, it's been
about two years.
216
00:10:52,611 --> 00:10:56,363
But we're good. We never
really stopped loving someone.
217
00:10:57,199 --> 00:11:00,825
And we share the kids.
We got that right.
218
00:11:00,827 --> 00:11:02,494
How many kids do you have?
219
00:11:02,496 --> 00:11:05,538
Two. A boy and a girl.
220
00:11:06,249 --> 00:11:07,165
[both laughing]
221
00:11:07,242 --> 00:11:09,167
-The boy's just like you.
-Oh.
222
00:11:09,244 --> 00:11:11,544
Just can't wait to get out
of here.
223
00:11:13,382 --> 00:11:15,173
You got kids?
224
00:11:15,175 --> 00:11:18,468
No. Never felt like my path.
225
00:11:18,512 --> 00:11:22,931
But I love having kids around,
I have two nephews
226
00:11:22,933 --> 00:11:24,391
and a baby niece.
227
00:11:33,276 --> 00:11:34,984
That last day I saw you...
228
00:11:35,028 --> 00:11:37,946
We were supposed to go
to that graduation party.
229
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:41,533
Have our first dance
in public.
230
00:11:41,609 --> 00:11:44,119
I'm sorry I never called.
231
00:11:44,121 --> 00:11:46,329
Or that I didn't show up.
232
00:11:46,665 --> 00:11:48,331
What happened?
233
00:11:52,713 --> 00:11:57,424
You were the best thing
that happened to me back then.
234
00:11:58,301 --> 00:12:03,596
But I was outed to my father
and, um...
235
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:06,933
he ain't never looked at me
the same.
236
00:12:09,813 --> 00:12:11,521
I mean up until then,
237
00:12:12,065 --> 00:12:13,940
I adored him and...
238
00:12:14,943 --> 00:12:16,443
he adored me.
239
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,946
And then...
240
00:12:20,449 --> 00:12:25,118
there was a sadness...
241
00:12:26,204 --> 00:12:27,704
in his eyes.
242
00:12:27,748 --> 00:12:30,331
And it broke me.
243
00:12:31,626 --> 00:12:33,501
I'm sorry.
244
00:12:38,049 --> 00:12:41,426
Well, Mr. Ernest would come by
the store.
245
00:12:42,637 --> 00:12:44,846
He always seemed like
he wanted to talk,
246
00:12:44,848 --> 00:12:48,391
but then he'd just order
number six
247
00:12:48,435 --> 00:12:50,518
and a strawberry cold drink.
248
00:12:53,148 --> 00:12:55,148
When he suggested
that I call you.
249
00:12:56,902 --> 00:12:58,693
I wish I had it.
250
00:12:58,695 --> 00:13:01,029
[sighs] You don't know
how much...
251
00:13:02,491 --> 00:13:06,618
it means to me that
he said that to you.
252
00:13:15,504 --> 00:13:17,837
That was a long time ago.
253
00:13:29,392 --> 00:13:30,892
What up, Uncle Wood?
254
00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:33,144
Here you go. [cooing]
255
00:13:34,314 --> 00:13:35,730
Come here.
256
00:13:35,807 --> 00:13:37,707
Oh, my gosh.
257
00:13:37,709 --> 00:13:40,944
-She's growing like a weed.
-Doctor says she gonna be
tall like me.
258
00:13:40,987 --> 00:13:42,237
She at the 98th percentile.
259
00:13:42,239 --> 00:13:44,906
Ooh, look at you, supermodel.
260
00:13:44,983 --> 00:13:47,367
Ah, she gonna be a scientist.
Ain't that right, baby?
261
00:13:47,369 --> 00:13:49,202
There ain't nothing wrong
with being a farmer.
262
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,829
-[laughs]
-Oh, baby.
263
00:13:50,905 --> 00:13:52,539
-[crying]
-[tongue clicking]
264
00:13:52,541 --> 00:13:54,707
To be a farmer, that's why.
265
00:13:54,709 --> 00:13:56,084
A farmer...
You gonna be...
266
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:57,877
Tell Mr. Prosper
you don't like farming.
267
00:13:57,879 --> 00:13:59,629
[laughs]
268
00:13:59,631 --> 00:14:01,923
Take these. We got to get
some more dads out.
269
00:14:02,843 --> 00:14:04,342
I know technically I'm not
a father,
270
00:14:04,344 --> 00:14:06,719
but after watching
Dante come home.
271
00:14:06,796 --> 00:14:09,556
Being bullied at school,
I just couldn't sit around
and do nothing.
272
00:14:09,558 --> 00:14:12,100
You don't have to be
a biological father to father.
273
00:14:14,104 --> 00:14:15,311
That's right.
274
00:14:16,398 --> 00:14:18,147
So, dig it, man.
275
00:14:18,191 --> 00:14:20,608
I put in my paperwork
to foster again.
276
00:14:20,610 --> 00:14:22,068
-Whoa, look at you.
-Are you for real?
277
00:14:22,070 --> 00:14:24,487
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
278
00:14:24,489 --> 00:14:26,781
-Whoo.
-Anybody be lucky
to call you dad.
279
00:14:26,858 --> 00:14:29,158
Yeah, you and Vi
gonna make good parents.
280
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,869
-All right.
-I'll see you in a second.
281
00:14:30,945 --> 00:14:32,704
I'll see you in a second,
Mr. Prosper.
282
00:14:33,790 --> 00:14:35,915
Just sit down
for a minute, will you?
283
00:14:39,045 --> 00:14:42,589
So, I mean how's everything
with you and Darla
284
00:14:42,665 --> 00:14:44,716
after everything, you know,
went down last night
285
00:14:44,718 --> 00:14:46,009
with Chase?
286
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,347
Ever think about
therapy, Wood?
287
00:14:51,349 --> 00:14:53,474
I've never done it,
but I know it does a whole lot
288
00:14:53,476 --> 00:14:55,393
of people a whole lot of good.
289
00:14:55,470 --> 00:14:57,604
Can't stop thinking about
what he did to her.
290
00:14:59,357 --> 00:15:01,274
It's been on my mind,
you know?
291
00:15:01,276 --> 00:15:03,026
I get it.
292
00:15:03,028 --> 00:15:07,113
And I remember when Jimmy Dale
come by the house,
293
00:15:07,115 --> 00:15:10,199
you always hear people talking
about snapping, but brother...
294
00:15:10,869 --> 00:15:12,869
[exhales] I was so close.
295
00:15:12,871 --> 00:15:15,330
All I saw was just red.
296
00:15:15,365 --> 00:15:18,416
But, Ralph, we gotta learn
to let them things go.
297
00:15:18,418 --> 00:15:20,418
Nothing good ever comes
from that type of thinking.
298
00:15:20,420 --> 00:15:23,504
It only hurts you
way more than it hurts them.
299
00:15:23,581 --> 00:15:25,423
And you're saying
I should just...
300
00:15:27,135 --> 00:15:29,135
let it go?
301
00:15:29,137 --> 00:15:31,512
How am I supposed
to let it go, Wood?
302
00:15:31,589 --> 00:15:33,890
What? I'm supposed
to just move on?
303
00:15:33,934 --> 00:15:36,517
After he did what he did
to the woman I love?
304
00:15:37,854 --> 00:15:39,729
To my wife?
305
00:15:42,943 --> 00:15:45,109
I can't wrap my mind
around that one.
306
00:15:45,111 --> 00:15:47,236
I sure as hell
can't let it go.
307
00:15:50,033 --> 00:15:52,450
Listen, man.
308
00:15:52,527 --> 00:15:56,621
Your job is to protect
and love your wife.
309
00:15:57,123 --> 00:16:00,291
Focus on her. Not on him.
310
00:16:00,293 --> 00:16:03,711
He's not worth your attention,
your time
311
00:16:03,713 --> 00:16:05,546
or your energy.
312
00:16:06,925 --> 00:16:08,591
No, brother.
313
00:16:09,427 --> 00:16:11,427
Change the way you think.
314
00:16:13,473 --> 00:16:14,931
He's not worth it.
315
00:16:18,436 --> 00:16:20,228
[exhales]
316
00:16:21,648 --> 00:16:24,524
These are photos I took
for your insurance claim.
317
00:16:24,943 --> 00:16:26,025
Thank you.
318
00:16:27,278 --> 00:16:29,070
All right.
319
00:16:29,072 --> 00:16:31,239
You know I wanted to talk
to you about that one.
320
00:16:31,315 --> 00:16:33,157
I could barely stand.
321
00:16:33,192 --> 00:16:35,827
I would like to use this photo
in our show
322
00:16:36,496 --> 00:16:37,996
with your permission.
323
00:16:38,748 --> 00:16:40,540
You gonna hang this up
like it's art?
324
00:16:40,542 --> 00:16:41,741
It is art.
325
00:16:41,817 --> 00:16:44,168
Some of the best photos
I've ever taken.
326
00:16:44,170 --> 00:16:46,963
This photo can bring to life
the real burden
327
00:16:46,965 --> 00:16:48,548
that Black farmers face.
328
00:16:49,217 --> 00:16:50,925
Storms are getting crazy.
329
00:16:51,845 --> 00:16:53,636
Talk about climate change
and the real people
330
00:16:53,638 --> 00:16:55,071
that it affects.
331
00:16:55,073 --> 00:16:58,141
-And you see all that
in this picture?
-I do.
332
00:16:58,143 --> 00:16:59,726
And when it sells,
333
00:17:00,687 --> 00:17:03,396
I want to donate
all the proceeds to the co-op.
334
00:17:06,109 --> 00:17:08,443
If it weren't for the co-op,
I wouldn't be here.
335
00:17:08,987 --> 00:17:10,361
Ronnie, Youngblood.
336
00:17:11,364 --> 00:17:12,530
Thank you.
337
00:17:12,866 --> 00:17:13,948
Yeah.
338
00:17:17,037 --> 00:17:18,411
Mike...
339
00:17:18,488 --> 00:17:20,747
What's up?
340
00:17:20,823 --> 00:17:23,750
Remember when you had
your picture hanging up here,
341
00:17:23,826 --> 00:17:26,127
-at the...
-Mm-hmm.
342
00:17:26,204 --> 00:17:31,090
You and your friend.
I had no business running
my mouth about it.
343
00:17:31,167 --> 00:17:34,844
It's clear that you have
vision, you can see things
I don't see.
344
00:17:34,846 --> 00:17:38,056
See, when I was coming up,
it was a different time.
345
00:17:38,683 --> 00:17:41,142
But it still don't make it
right.
346
00:17:41,144 --> 00:17:43,561
So I'm just glad that
you don't gotta live
like that,
347
00:17:43,638 --> 00:17:46,105
-young blood.
-Thank you.
348
00:17:47,025 --> 00:17:48,775
Thank you. I appreciate you
saying that.
349
00:17:48,777 --> 00:17:50,943
-I love you, boy.
-I love you too.
350
00:17:58,703 --> 00:18:00,136
Where'd that come from?
351
00:18:00,138 --> 00:18:02,330
An old mill over in Houma
is selling off some parts.
352
00:18:02,332 --> 00:18:03,790
We could probably fix up
the harvester.
353
00:18:03,792 --> 00:18:05,333
Yeah, I think we should
try it.
354
00:18:05,409 --> 00:18:06,793
I mean, it can only increase
the value.
355
00:18:19,224 --> 00:18:20,640
Thank you for coming.
356
00:18:20,642 --> 00:18:22,141
Thank you for calling.
357
00:18:23,561 --> 00:18:25,436
I haven't been here
for so long.
358
00:18:25,438 --> 00:18:28,314
Charlie was so driven
to make this happen.
359
00:18:29,609 --> 00:18:31,943
I want to talk to you about
your book and your movie.
360
00:18:31,945 --> 00:18:34,362
Uh... [stutters] I already
told the publisher
361
00:18:34,438 --> 00:18:36,697
that it's not happening.
The movie is dead.
362
00:18:36,774 --> 00:18:37,657
I promise you, Darla.
363
00:18:37,659 --> 00:18:40,034
No, no, no.
364
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:42,620
I see now what you were trying
to do with your books.
365
00:18:43,706 --> 00:18:45,039
I don't like how you did it.
366
00:18:45,116 --> 00:18:47,500
You told my story without
my permission.
367
00:18:48,753 --> 00:18:53,131
But you also put light
into what I hid too long
368
00:18:53,133 --> 00:18:55,508
-in the dark.
-And I didn't intend
to hurt you.
369
00:18:57,303 --> 00:19:00,429
But I did. Deeply.
370
00:19:01,307 --> 00:19:02,807
And I'm sorry.
371
00:19:03,434 --> 00:19:04,851
I believe you.
372
00:19:05,812 --> 00:19:08,688
And I forgive you.
373
00:19:08,690 --> 00:19:14,610
After seeing Chase here,
where I live, where I fell
in love.
374
00:19:15,113 --> 00:19:18,030
Or I died and came back
to life.
375
00:19:19,492 --> 00:19:23,119
I realized that he has
no power over me that
376
00:19:23,121 --> 00:19:24,829
I don't allow him to have.
377
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,500
He didn't break me.
I took him down.
378
00:19:30,503 --> 00:19:34,213
That's what I want people
to know.
379
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,259
Your book ended
in the middle of my story.
380
00:19:39,971 --> 00:19:41,470
I won.
381
00:19:44,350 --> 00:19:46,601
Add that to your movie
and you'll have my blessing.

Y'all enjoy the calm
before the storm.
394

These kids be getting out
of class in an actual minute.
395

Steel yourselves.
396
00:20:25,049 --> 00:20:26,891
I'm ready to go.
397
00:20:26,893 --> 00:20:28,601
Sounds like we're going
to war.
398
00:20:28,603 --> 00:20:30,436
Feel like it sometimes.
399
00:20:30,438 --> 00:20:32,813
I don't know the last time
you was in school.
400
00:20:32,890 --> 00:20:34,482
Was school problematic
for you?
401
00:20:34,484 --> 00:20:36,192
How about he was the problem?
402
00:20:38,154 --> 00:20:40,655
Look, I had my moments
trying to balance school life
403
00:20:40,657 --> 00:20:43,699
and home like a tug of war.
404
00:20:43,743 --> 00:20:46,452
Either withdrawal or act out.
405
00:20:46,454 --> 00:20:47,745
Yeah, and neither one is good.
406
00:20:47,822 --> 00:20:49,038
-That's right.
-Yeah.
407
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,831
[school bell ringing]
408
00:20:50,833 --> 00:20:52,416
Here we go.

[all clamoring]
410
00:20:54,295 --> 00:20:56,045
Good afternoon, kids.
411
00:20:57,131 --> 00:21:01,342
Hey, man, what was that?
412
00:21:01,419 --> 00:21:03,803
-I didn't see him.
-Oh, come on, man.
413
00:21:03,805 --> 00:21:05,721
I got eyes, you expect me
to believe that?
414
00:21:05,723 --> 00:21:07,682
-What's your name?
-Kyle.
415
00:21:07,684 --> 00:21:09,341
Kyle.
416
00:21:09,343 --> 00:21:12,270
My main man, Kyle.
Now, look, my name
is Hollywood, all right?
417
00:21:12,346 --> 00:21:14,647
And there's a simple rule
that good people like me
and you have
418
00:21:14,649 --> 00:21:16,107
to always follow.
419
00:21:16,109 --> 00:21:20,069
If you do something like that,
you got to stand by it.
420
00:21:20,071 --> 00:21:21,737
If you can't stand by
those actions,
421
00:21:21,739 --> 00:21:23,447
then just don't do it.
422
00:21:23,449 --> 00:21:24,782
All right?
423
00:21:25,618 --> 00:21:27,326
All right.
424
00:21:27,328 --> 00:21:29,453
-I'll be seeing you
around, Kyle.
-Okay, Mr. Hollywood.
425
00:21:29,455 --> 00:21:30,937
All right, man.
426
00:21:34,127 --> 00:21:35,835
You think he was picking up
what I was putting down?
427
00:21:35,911 --> 00:21:38,296
I don't know, but I felt like
I got a life lesson.
428
00:21:38,298 --> 00:21:41,299
Yeah, I was getting ready
to go to my locker
and write that down.
429
00:21:41,375 --> 00:21:43,092
-Ain't no locker. Come on.
-[all laughing]
430
00:21:43,094 --> 00:21:44,593
Fellas.
431
00:21:44,595 --> 00:21:47,430
I stand here tonight,
432
00:21:47,432 --> 00:21:49,515
asking members
of the school board
433
00:21:49,517 --> 00:21:51,600
to please...
434
00:21:51,644 --> 00:21:54,020
do the right thing.
435
00:21:54,022 --> 00:21:56,314
[clapping] Speak, sis!
436
00:21:56,390 --> 00:21:58,065
You got this.
There's no way
437
00:21:58,067 --> 00:21:59,817
they're gonna ban your book
after that speech.
438
00:21:59,819 --> 00:22:01,485
[squeals]
439
00:22:01,487 --> 00:22:03,863
Oh, this reminds me
of old times.
440
00:22:04,532 --> 00:22:06,324
What did you think?
441
00:22:06,576 --> 00:22:08,242
As a parent?
442
00:22:08,319 --> 00:22:10,828
Oh, um, as a parent,
I just...
443
00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:13,164
I just want what's best
for my kids.
444
00:22:14,375 --> 00:22:18,252
But some of those parents
aren't gonna see it like that.
445
00:22:19,005 --> 00:22:21,464
So he's into it.
446
00:22:21,924 --> 00:22:23,424
Pour some sugar on it.
447
00:22:23,426 --> 00:22:25,301
You mean tone it down?
448
00:22:27,055 --> 00:22:28,554
Subtle.
449
00:22:28,556 --> 00:22:30,139
It's not really my thing.
450
00:22:30,141 --> 00:22:31,515
Hmm.
451
00:22:32,727 --> 00:22:34,101
I got you.
452
00:22:38,858 --> 00:22:41,984
Hello. Can I get you
some coffee to start?
453
00:22:42,028 --> 00:22:46,280
Sure. And I'd like to try
one of each of your pies,
please.
454
00:22:46,282 --> 00:22:49,909
Well, baby, you must be hungry
because that's seven slices.
455
00:22:49,911 --> 00:22:51,410
I'm gonna try them all.
456
00:22:51,487 --> 00:22:53,329
I'll have one here
and the rest of to go.
457
00:22:53,331 --> 00:22:54,497
You choose.
458
00:22:56,334 --> 00:22:57,416
All right.
459
00:22:57,493 --> 00:22:59,627
Uh, Simone, baby.
460
00:22:59,629 --> 00:23:02,171
Come and package up
this order please.
461
00:23:02,173 --> 00:23:08,302
And my friend, you get
our last slice
462
00:23:08,379 --> 00:23:10,554
of today's apple pie special.
463
00:23:10,556 --> 00:23:11,764
Thanks.
464
00:23:12,350 --> 00:23:14,517
-You enjoy it.
-Thank you.
465
00:23:20,942 --> 00:23:22,566
Wow.
466
00:23:22,643 --> 00:23:24,151
Mmm, mmm, mmm.
467
00:23:24,153 --> 00:23:25,569
[laughs]
468
00:23:25,571 --> 00:23:28,030
Interesting's right.
This is pretty spectacular.
469
00:23:30,410 --> 00:23:33,035
[camera shutter clicking]
470
00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:35,746
Who on earth is Demetrius
and what is this about?
471
00:23:35,748 --> 00:23:36,997
Let me show you something.
472
00:23:36,999 --> 00:23:39,291
Yo, yo, Demetrius here.
473
00:23:39,368 --> 00:23:41,627
What in the world?
You're Ms. Violet, right?
474
00:23:41,704 --> 00:23:44,255
-Yes.
-My daughter showed me
this gal on TikTok.
475
00:23:44,331 --> 00:23:46,340
He reviews everything.
476
00:23:46,417 --> 00:23:48,968
And he is crazy about
your pies.
477
00:23:49,044 --> 00:23:50,761
My daughter and all
her little friends stand
in line
478
00:23:50,838 --> 00:23:52,513
at the farmers market
for an hour
479
00:23:52,590 --> 00:23:54,140
just to get a slice
before it sells out.
480
00:23:54,892 --> 00:23:57,101
Well, I ain't never met
this man.
481
00:23:57,103 --> 00:23:59,770
-Here you go.
-Oh, I love Demetrius.
482
00:23:59,772 --> 00:24:01,856
He's so funny.
He loves you, Ms. Violet.
483
00:24:01,858 --> 00:24:04,483
-You know about this?
-Everyone knows about him.
484
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,026
He's got, like,
a million followers.
485
00:24:06,028 --> 00:24:07,403
I told you.

00:24:07,905 --> 00:24:09,113
Martin Henderson.
487
00:24:09,115 --> 00:24:13,159
I am a buyer for Hayes
Farm Fresh Foods.
488
00:24:13,235 --> 00:24:14,535
And we've got two stores here
in Louisiana,
489
00:24:14,612 --> 00:24:16,996
but we've got them
in every state too.
490
00:24:16,998 --> 00:24:19,331
I want to talk to you about
getting your pies
in our stores.
491
00:24:20,251 --> 00:24:22,668
Well, thank you, Martin.
492
00:24:22,670 --> 00:24:24,295
Uh...
493
00:24:24,297 --> 00:24:26,213
It's flattering, indeed
494
00:24:26,290 --> 00:24:32,136
and I would need
to discuss this
with my business partner.
495
00:24:32,213 --> 00:24:35,723
And then we'll get back to you
about our interest.
496
00:24:35,725 --> 00:24:37,099
Of course. Of course.
497
00:24:37,101 --> 00:24:41,604
-Here you go.
-Well, I look forward
498
00:24:41,647 --> 00:24:42,771
to hearing from you.
499
00:24:42,815 --> 00:24:44,565
Enjoy your pies.
500
00:24:44,567 --> 00:24:46,525
-Thank you.
-Thanks for stopping.

Don't mind me. Don't mind me.

Lord have mercy!
505
00:25:08,532 --> 00:25:09,748
You're poisoning
our kids' minds.
506
00:25:09,750 --> 00:25:11,425
You're the ones
that are teaching hate here.
507
00:25:11,427 --> 00:25:14,011
I'm done with it.
Let's keep the politics
out of it.
508
00:25:14,013 --> 00:25:16,430
I don't need a bunch of books
teaching my kid
509
00:25:16,432 --> 00:25:19,558
-he was born a racist.
-[all agreeing]
510
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,101
Quiet down.
511
00:25:21,103 --> 00:25:22,686
[woman] That's right.
512
00:25:22,688 --> 00:25:25,814
Nova Bordelon,
you have three minutes.
513
00:25:28,778 --> 00:25:31,111
We may not share
the same point of view,
514
00:25:31,188 --> 00:25:34,156
but I'm hoping that you listen
with an open heart.
515
00:25:34,158 --> 00:25:37,993
I know what it's like
to be blinded by anger.
516
00:25:37,995 --> 00:25:40,037
I know what it's like
to be made to feel small
517
00:25:40,039 --> 00:25:42,498
and judged by
outside perceptions.
518
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:44,083
Which is why it is
so important that
519
00:25:44,085 --> 00:25:46,377
we fight for the truth.
520
00:25:46,453 --> 00:25:50,256
Not my opinion.
Not a theory. The truth.
521
00:25:50,258 --> 00:25:52,633
No matter how ugly or harsh,
we need to face the truth.
522
00:25:52,710 --> 00:25:56,178
Brainwashing our kids
into hating themselves.
523
00:25:56,180 --> 00:25:59,265
Baby, my niece is speaking.
She listened to you,
524
00:25:59,267 --> 00:26:01,058
please let her talk.
525
00:26:01,060 --> 00:26:02,768
It's her talking to our kids
that got us here
in the first place.
526
00:26:02,770 --> 00:26:06,105
With all due respect,
these are good kids.
527
00:26:06,181 --> 00:26:08,107
You're gonna sell
your son short.
528
00:26:08,183 --> 00:26:10,901
-Isolation is not the answer.
-Don't tell me how to raise
my kids.
529
00:26:10,978 --> 00:26:13,362
-[all clamoring]
-Quiet down.
530
00:26:14,407 --> 00:26:16,907
I'm asking you to raise
your children
531
00:26:16,984 --> 00:26:19,660
knowing that truth
is not the enemy.
532
00:26:19,662 --> 00:26:23,872
We're willing to give our kids
a gun before a book.
533
00:26:23,874 --> 00:26:26,375
-Something's broken.
-Now she wants to take away
our guns.
534
00:26:26,377 --> 00:26:28,335
That is not what she said.
535
00:26:28,337 --> 00:26:31,505
-Stop putting words
in her mouth.
-Everybody, please.
536
00:26:31,507 --> 00:26:35,092
Miss Bordelon still has
the floor. Let her continue.
537
00:26:36,554 --> 00:26:38,220
I'm saying...
538
00:26:38,264 --> 00:26:42,933
arm your children
with knowledge, not weapons.
539
00:26:42,935 --> 00:26:45,811
The great Angela Davis said
I am no longer accepting
540
00:26:45,813 --> 00:26:46,878
the things that I cannot
change--
541
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,330
You know, I'm not gonna
sit here
542
00:26:48,332 --> 00:26:50,399
and listen to you preach
at me. You need to shut up.
543
00:26:50,401 --> 00:26:52,109
You know what,
watch your mouth.
544
00:26:52,186 --> 00:26:53,444
I'm about tired of your ass.
545
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,322
-You need to be quiet.
-I'm sorry, Ms. Bordelon.
546
00:26:57,867 --> 00:27:00,701
We're out of time,
we need to vote.
547
00:27:08,753 --> 00:27:11,086
[all speaking indistinctly]
548
00:27:23,643 --> 00:27:26,393
By a vote of three to two,
549
00:27:27,563 --> 00:27:32,941
the board has ordered a ban
of all texts with mentions
550
00:27:32,943 --> 00:27:35,653
to race, sexuality.
551
00:27:35,729 --> 00:27:37,738
[all clapping]
552
00:27:37,740 --> 00:27:40,032
They can't do this.
553
00:27:40,034 --> 00:27:43,118
They're erasing our,
our stories.
554
00:27:43,871 --> 00:27:45,120
Our history.
555
00:27:46,165 --> 00:27:48,415
Oh, I'm sorry, baby.
556
00:27:49,669 --> 00:27:52,419
You're the only one in there
that made any sense.
557
00:27:52,421 --> 00:27:55,297
Most of our greatest things
have been banned
at some point.
558
00:27:55,341 --> 00:27:56,715
Consider yourself
in good company.
559
00:27:56,792 --> 00:27:58,509
There's got to be more
we can do.
560
00:27:58,585 --> 00:28:01,762
I knew they were mad,
but I hope they wouldn't
take it that far.
561
00:28:01,764 --> 00:28:03,972
Yeah, well, the loudest man
in the room
562
00:28:03,974 --> 00:28:05,432
is the weakest man
in the room.
563
00:28:05,509 --> 00:28:08,811
It was two to two
and the last man just gave up.
564
00:28:09,397 --> 00:28:10,896
Who's gonna take his place?
565
00:28:10,898 --> 00:28:13,232
We'll have to schedule
a special election.
566
00:28:13,308 --> 00:28:16,694
I just hope we don't end up
with one of those
MAGA zealots.
567
00:28:17,697 --> 00:28:19,530
And what you gotta do to run?
568
00:28:21,742 --> 00:28:23,409
You interested?
569
00:28:25,496 --> 00:28:26,954
Somebody's gotta do
something, right?
570
00:28:26,956 --> 00:28:28,914
Well, you love kids.
571
00:28:29,375 --> 00:28:30,791
And these ones need you.
572
00:28:30,793 --> 00:28:32,668
I think it's a perfect idea.
573
00:28:32,670 --> 00:28:35,254
You will need 1000 signatures
to get on the ballot.
574
00:28:35,330 --> 00:28:36,797
That's doable.
575
00:28:36,799 --> 00:28:39,967
Between the diner,
real spot and co-op.
576
00:28:40,043 --> 00:28:42,094
Local hands on work.
577
00:28:42,171 --> 00:28:43,628
-That's the key.
-That's right.
578
00:28:43,630 --> 00:28:46,765
People focus on the president,
senators, congress people
579
00:28:46,767 --> 00:28:49,643
but the day to day decisions
of the local school boards,
580
00:28:49,645 --> 00:28:51,395
police boards,
district attorneys,
581
00:28:51,397 --> 00:28:54,356
city councils.
That's the stuff
that really affects our lives.
582
00:28:54,358 --> 00:28:55,691
You got that right.
583
00:28:56,026 --> 00:28:57,860
Baby.
584
00:28:57,862 --> 00:29:00,946
Mel and Nova and others
out here fighting
for these kids
585
00:29:00,948 --> 00:29:04,199
only to be shut down
and banned over politics.
586
00:29:06,954 --> 00:29:09,329
-Count me in.
-All right.
587
00:29:20,217 --> 00:29:21,925
Congratulations.
588
00:29:21,927 --> 00:29:23,284
You sold it.
589
00:29:23,286 --> 00:29:25,053
It's a big deal to sell
something like this.
590
00:29:25,055 --> 00:29:28,640
I sort of can't believe it.
You know, it just feels good.
591
00:29:28,642 --> 00:29:30,726
This is the direction I want
to go with my work.
592
00:29:30,728 --> 00:29:32,394
Yeah, it's dynamic.
593
00:29:32,438 --> 00:29:35,522
Your voice. You're finding it.
You're fighting for it.
594
00:29:35,599 --> 00:29:37,983
We're hot. Good to see
you. Dope show, man.
595
00:29:37,985 --> 00:29:39,485
We should definitely
incorporate a few
of these pieces
596
00:29:39,561 --> 00:29:40,669
in our next campaign.
597
00:29:40,671 --> 00:29:42,154
What the hell
are you doing here?
598
00:29:42,156 --> 00:29:44,698
Bro, you're selling these...
Dude, this is, this is good.
599
00:29:44,775 --> 00:29:45,949
We could make a lot
of money off of this.
600
00:29:45,951 --> 00:29:47,993
Do you hear yourself?
601
00:29:47,995 --> 00:29:50,579
Look, it's not a big deal,
all right?
602
00:29:50,581 --> 00:29:52,122
We just need to get back
in the game.
603
00:29:52,124 --> 00:29:55,042
-I know an investor.
-That's not how
I want to do this.
604
00:29:56,504 --> 00:29:58,020
What so, that's it?
605
00:29:58,022 --> 00:30:00,339
You're just got to drop me
after I put you in the game?
606
00:30:00,415 --> 00:30:02,925
-Yo, what you gonna do
without me?
-I'll figure something out.
607
00:30:02,927 --> 00:30:05,427
You ever heard the phrase,
"Be the change you want
to see"?
608
00:30:07,681 --> 00:30:09,515
Aw, that's cheesy as hell.
609
00:30:09,517 --> 00:30:12,559
I want to thank you actually
for showing me
610
00:30:12,636 --> 00:30:14,520
everything I never want to be.
611
00:30:14,596 --> 00:30:18,273
Up close and personal,
the greed, the desperation,
612
00:30:18,275 --> 00:30:19,900
the hollowness.
613
00:30:20,528 --> 00:30:22,694
I want to feel full.
614
00:30:22,696 --> 00:30:26,031
If that's cheesy,
then so be it.
615
00:30:34,166 --> 00:30:36,917
Felt good being back at school
with the other dads.
616
00:30:38,254 --> 00:30:39,962
Took me all the way back.
617
00:30:39,964 --> 00:30:41,630
I hated high school though.
618
00:30:41,632 --> 00:30:43,298
What were you like?
619
00:30:44,343 --> 00:30:46,802
-Chip on my shoulder.
-Why?
620
00:30:48,138 --> 00:30:50,889
My ma and pop just
wanted me to excel.
621
00:30:50,891 --> 00:30:53,976
He's some kind of A student.
He's nothin' like Blue.
622
00:30:53,978 --> 00:30:55,978
You felt like
you disappointed him.
623
00:30:55,980 --> 00:30:57,354
Definitely.
624
00:30:57,356 --> 00:30:59,731
[machinery powering down]
625
00:31:04,822 --> 00:31:06,104
It works.
626
00:31:06,106 --> 00:31:08,532
That's going to add a lot
to the property value.
627
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,244
I thought you said
all these parts came from
628
00:31:12,321 --> 00:31:13,453
a shuttered mill.
629
00:31:13,455 --> 00:31:15,831
That's what he said.
630
00:31:15,833 --> 00:31:17,541
That the owner's selling off
the parts.
631
00:31:17,543 --> 00:31:20,419
Landry selling his parts
to a mill?
632
00:31:21,088 --> 00:31:22,504
That don't sound right.
633
00:31:23,549 --> 00:31:25,883
We should take it over there,
see what's up.
634
00:31:25,885 --> 00:31:27,426
Come on.
635
00:31:39,148 --> 00:31:41,398
This is where he got
the spare parts.
636
00:31:42,693 --> 00:31:45,068
That's the edge
of Landry's land right there.
637
00:31:45,070 --> 00:31:46,612
[Darla] What's up with
the property lines?
638
00:31:46,614 --> 00:31:48,447
[Ralph] Construction markers.
639
00:31:48,449 --> 00:31:51,658
If we let him
sneak us this time,
that'll be it for the co-op.
640
00:31:51,660 --> 00:31:54,161
Surround us in concrete
and block our water.
641
00:31:54,163 --> 00:31:56,246
[camera shutter clicks]
642
00:31:56,248 --> 00:31:58,081
We need to figure out
what they're planning.
643
00:31:58,083 --> 00:31:59,416
ASAP.
644
00:32:04,715 --> 00:32:08,175
Well, now, that's nice.
645
00:32:08,177 --> 00:32:10,344
What do you think, Hollywood?
646
00:32:10,346 --> 00:32:12,387
Sharp as a tack just like
the rest of him.
647
00:32:12,431 --> 00:32:15,390
I don't know, just.
My sleeve's gonna need
the alteration
648
00:32:15,392 --> 00:32:17,059
and the pants too.
649
00:32:17,061 --> 00:32:19,686
I mean the jacket's
a little snug around
the shoulder.
650
00:32:19,688 --> 00:32:21,688
I don't think this my color.
651
00:32:21,765 --> 00:32:24,316
Prosper, you have tried on
five suits.
652
00:32:24,393 --> 00:32:25,776
You need to make the choice.
653
00:32:25,778 --> 00:32:28,695
-The wedding's in a few days.
-Yeah, well, I know.
654
00:32:30,157 --> 00:32:32,032
Hell, I might as well say it,
I'm nervous
655
00:32:32,034 --> 00:32:33,766
and I want it to be perfect.
656
00:32:33,768 --> 00:32:37,037
Well, marrying the woman
you love is gonna be
perfect, baby.
657
00:32:37,114 --> 00:32:39,539
You know, it's...
658
00:32:39,616 --> 00:32:41,583
It's been a while since
I've had to live up
659
00:32:41,627 --> 00:32:43,460
to somebody else's
expectations.
660
00:32:43,462 --> 00:32:46,088
I mean, I love Sandy Leflore.
I love that woman.
661
00:32:46,090 --> 00:32:47,447
But...
662
00:32:48,801 --> 00:32:52,678
you know, I wonder if
I still have enough left
663
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:53,553
to give.
664
00:32:53,555 --> 00:32:55,472
Oh, Prosper Denton,
665
00:32:55,549 --> 00:32:59,518
you are a good man.
One of the best I have
ever known.
666
00:32:59,553 --> 00:33:03,939
You're kind, honest.
Your heart is full of love.
667
00:33:03,983 --> 00:33:06,650
Not a mean bone in your body.
668
00:33:06,652 --> 00:33:09,778
You have all that.
That's a full tank.
669
00:33:09,780 --> 00:33:12,864
And that's everything a woman
really wants.
670
00:33:12,866 --> 00:33:14,950
You are more than enough,
my brother.
671
00:33:14,952 --> 00:33:16,743
Sandy should be lucky
to have you.
672
00:33:16,745 --> 00:33:18,662
Amen. Now...
673
00:33:18,664 --> 00:33:22,749
you go on back in there
and keep trying on these suits
674
00:33:22,826 --> 00:33:25,252
and we're gonna find
the right one.
675
00:33:25,328 --> 00:33:26,336
Yes, ma'am.
676
00:33:26,413 --> 00:33:28,338
[knocking at door]
677
00:33:28,340 --> 00:33:30,757
-What's up, Mr. Prosper?
-Dylan, how you doing?
678
00:33:33,012 --> 00:33:34,803
All right.
679
00:33:36,306 --> 00:33:38,348
-What's wrong?
-So we drove by Landry's
680
00:33:38,350 --> 00:33:39,641
and we saw construction
markers.
681
00:33:39,643 --> 00:33:41,518
Feel like
they planned this out.
682
00:33:45,983 --> 00:33:48,734
-This is Betty's land.
-It sure is.
683
00:33:48,736 --> 00:33:49,359
-Who?
-Betty.
684
00:33:49,361 --> 00:33:51,028
Parker's mama.
685
00:33:51,030 --> 00:33:53,021
Let 'em on the land,
you don't want
nobody to know about it.
686
00:33:53,023 --> 00:33:56,867
-That's her indeed.
-But he don't have
no right to do anything there.
687
00:33:56,869 --> 00:34:00,245
I mean, if this is one
of Sam's schemes,
688
00:34:00,322 --> 00:34:02,080
she'd have no part in it.
689
00:34:02,082 --> 00:34:03,582
All right, she then keep up
with the land
690
00:34:03,658 --> 00:34:05,042
the Landry's to handle it.
691
00:34:05,044 --> 00:34:06,251
I doubt she knows anything.
692
00:34:06,328 --> 00:34:07,169
But it's her.
693
00:34:07,212 --> 00:34:09,129
Yeah, well on paper. Yeah.
694
00:34:09,131 --> 00:34:11,715
I can check with the parish
and review the land records.
695
00:34:12,509 --> 00:34:13,942
We need to find out.
696
00:34:13,944 --> 00:34:15,594
Baby, you sure you want
to open up that though?
697
00:34:15,596 --> 00:34:17,095
The whole lot back there.
698
00:34:17,172 --> 00:34:19,639
I've let her be.
I respected her choices.
699
00:34:19,641 --> 00:34:22,934
But this is different now.
This isn't just Landry.
700
00:34:22,936 --> 00:34:27,981
You see that school board?
Their voices, their faces.
701
00:34:27,983 --> 00:34:31,693
What they did? Banning books.
702
00:34:31,695 --> 00:34:33,320
Stealing land.
703
00:34:33,322 --> 00:34:36,615
No, I was here
when it was bad.
704
00:34:36,617 --> 00:34:38,867
We cannot let it back slide.
705
00:34:38,869 --> 00:34:40,994
-You're damn right.
-I know her.
706
00:34:40,996 --> 00:34:42,621
She would help
if she can.
707
00:34:42,623 --> 00:34:44,372
She knew better.
708
00:34:44,416 --> 00:34:49,294
And that's why I need
to see her face to face
myself.
709
00:34:49,371 --> 00:34:50,712
Because I know her.
710
00:34:50,756 --> 00:34:53,048
And I know she would help
if she could.
711
00:34:53,092 --> 00:34:54,482
I just need to find her.
712
00:34:54,484 --> 00:34:56,051
Well, I got some people
who can help with that.
713
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,480
All right, everybody.
714
00:35:08,482 --> 00:35:11,274
Just want to say thank you all
for coming out tonight.
715
00:35:11,351 --> 00:35:16,446
Those images at the showcase,
they really mean a lot to me.
716
00:35:16,523 --> 00:35:18,198
It's definitely
a turning point
717
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,033
in how I've been thinking
about things
718
00:35:20,035 --> 00:35:23,662
and I just want to say
thank you for inspiring me.
719
00:35:23,831 --> 00:35:25,622
Um...
720
00:35:25,624 --> 00:35:30,001
My family is from a small town
just outside of New Orleans.
721
00:35:30,003 --> 00:35:32,129
-Kiki's from there too.
-Shout out to St. Joe.
722
00:35:32,205 --> 00:35:34,131
Shout out to St. Joe.
723
00:35:34,133 --> 00:35:38,218
Um, and I've been thinking
about how the people
from St. Joe never give up.
724
00:35:38,295 --> 00:35:40,428
I was just a part
of this collective
725
00:35:40,430 --> 00:35:42,514
that sold NFTs recently.
726
00:35:42,516 --> 00:35:46,601
I'm talking private jets,
trips around the world.
727
00:35:46,603 --> 00:35:48,103
Yeah, it was cool.
It was cool.
728
00:35:48,105 --> 00:35:49,437
But...
729
00:35:49,439 --> 00:35:51,857
I don't know,
it didn't feel right.
730
00:35:51,859 --> 00:35:55,735
And it didn't last,
the business crashed.
731
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:58,113
I feel like the stuff
that they were selling,
732
00:35:58,115 --> 00:35:59,990
it wasn't a part
of the solution.
733
00:35:59,992 --> 00:36:02,075
It was disposable.
734
00:36:02,152 --> 00:36:03,827
It's a temporary high.
735
00:36:03,829 --> 00:36:05,912
That's why...
736
00:36:05,914 --> 00:36:08,331
I want to make something
with each of you
737
00:36:08,709 --> 00:36:10,625
that lasts.
738
00:36:10,669 --> 00:36:13,962
Our own collective,
for us by us.
739
00:36:13,964 --> 00:36:16,548
One that centers
people of color and women
740
00:36:16,550 --> 00:36:20,218
of all kinds, queer people,
all those people
741
00:36:20,253 --> 00:36:23,722
who have been on the outside
of that popular box.
742
00:36:24,308 --> 00:36:25,557
People who never give up.
743
00:36:25,559 --> 00:36:28,518
-That's the dream.
-It could be a reality.
744
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,855
Yeah. He's been kinda
showing me the ins and outs.
745
00:36:31,857 --> 00:36:36,693
I've learned a lot.
But it starts right here.
746
00:36:36,695 --> 00:36:42,532
In this moment, in this room,
we can do this.
747
00:36:42,534 --> 00:36:45,410
But I feel like we can raise
this thing up
748
00:36:45,412 --> 00:36:47,579
with our love of the game.
749
00:36:47,656 --> 00:36:49,331
You know, see how far
that gets us
750
00:36:49,333 --> 00:36:51,499
and then figure out
the rest.
751
00:36:57,341 --> 00:36:58,465
-Cheers.
-[glasses clinking]
752
00:36:58,467 --> 00:37:00,091
Cheers.
753
00:37:00,168 --> 00:37:01,718
Cheers.
754
00:37:03,597 --> 00:37:06,097
-[knocking at door]
-I got it.
755
00:37:14,524 --> 00:37:15,982
It's Mr. Randolph.
756
00:37:17,361 --> 00:37:18,777
Come on in.
757
00:37:20,489 --> 00:37:21,947
Thank you.
758
00:37:24,076 --> 00:37:26,826
Hey, is everything okay
with our loan?
759
00:37:26,828 --> 00:37:31,081
No. But I want you
to hear this from me.
760
00:37:31,083 --> 00:37:33,959
I was fired today
in retaliation
for helping y'all.
761
00:37:33,961 --> 00:37:35,293
-Fired?
-Mm-hmm.
762
00:37:35,295 --> 00:37:37,629
You're being punished
for doing your job.
763
00:37:37,631 --> 00:37:40,715
In that house, helping
Black farmer ain't part
of the job.
764
00:37:40,717 --> 00:37:42,717
Miller's been taking advantage
for years.
765
00:37:42,761 --> 00:37:44,761
Every time I report him,
I get demoted.
766
00:37:44,763 --> 00:37:46,304
He gets moved up.
767
00:37:46,306 --> 00:37:50,934
But I knew this was coming,
so I started making a copy
768
00:37:50,936 --> 00:37:52,894
of all of these
a few months back.
769
00:37:52,896 --> 00:37:54,437
Take a look at these.
770
00:37:58,277 --> 00:38:00,443
These are all
the applications
771
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,822
Miller's been sitting on.
These are all Black farmers.
772
00:38:03,824 --> 00:38:06,032
Here's Ms. Christina's.
773
00:38:06,109 --> 00:38:09,619
Darla, I'm so sorry.
I should have spoke up soon.
774
00:38:09,696 --> 00:38:11,746
But I figured if I gotta go,
775
00:38:11,748 --> 00:38:14,124
we'll make some noise
on my way out.
776
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,502
So, and look at this.
This is Sam Landry's file.
777
00:38:20,507 --> 00:38:23,008
-Sam Landry?
-Mm-hmm.
778
00:38:25,178 --> 00:38:28,179
They haven't made payments
in their loans
in almost 18 months.
779
00:38:28,181 --> 00:38:30,807
That's what he's saying.
You got farmers begging
for more time,
780
00:38:30,809 --> 00:38:32,934
when Landry gets a pass?
781
00:38:32,936 --> 00:38:35,061
Nonetheless he slide
'cause he can
782
00:38:35,063 --> 00:38:37,272
and then they slide him
a few dollars in return.
783
00:38:37,274 --> 00:38:39,607
-They bribe him.
-Exactly.
784
00:38:39,609 --> 00:38:43,570
These people in a bad way.
They're desperate.
785
00:38:43,605 --> 00:38:46,072
They carry a lot of debt,
a whole lot.
786
00:38:46,074 --> 00:38:48,199
Always have.
787
00:38:48,276 --> 00:38:49,951
It's not what it looked like
from the outside.
788
00:38:49,995 --> 00:38:52,871
We found out they've been
selling their mills for parts.
789
00:38:53,790 --> 00:38:57,500
Desperate people
do desperate things.
790
00:38:57,577 --> 00:38:59,210
They don't want to get caught
in that fire.
791
00:38:59,287 --> 00:39:01,713
It will make me want
to start one of our own.
792
00:39:07,596 --> 00:39:10,180
So is this where you'd sit
with my dad?
793
00:39:10,182 --> 00:39:12,265
Usually took it to go, but...
794
00:39:12,976 --> 00:39:14,768
Sometimes we'd sit out here.
795
00:39:15,187 --> 00:39:17,729
That's just... wow.
796
00:39:19,399 --> 00:39:22,192
Just the thought of him
driving out here,
797
00:39:22,861 --> 00:39:24,527
having a burger.
798
00:39:24,529 --> 00:39:26,571
Hanging with you
for a little.
799
00:39:26,573 --> 00:39:29,824
Wanting to connect somehow.
800
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,327
That just blows my mind.
801
00:39:34,748 --> 00:39:37,248
it makes me feel closer
to him.
802
00:39:37,325 --> 00:39:39,417
You know, all these years
I wonder what would happen
803
00:39:39,494 --> 00:39:41,044
if he didn't find out.
804
00:39:42,506 --> 00:39:44,547
If I hadn't been scared.
805
00:39:45,384 --> 00:39:47,967
So I did what I wanted to do.
806
00:39:48,044 --> 00:39:50,428
I'd have gone
to that graduation party.
807
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,724
Dance with you back then
in public.
808
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,394
Who knows?
809
00:39:58,605 --> 00:40:00,730
Might have led to
a completely different life.
810
00:40:02,359 --> 00:40:03,858
Yeah.
811
00:40:03,860 --> 00:40:05,652
That's something else
when you think back to times
812
00:40:05,654 --> 00:40:07,737
it could have been
turning points.
813
00:40:07,739 --> 00:40:10,657
Most of the time, we don't
even recognize them as that.
814
00:40:10,659 --> 00:40:12,909
There's so many decisions
we make every day
815
00:40:12,911 --> 00:40:16,037
that lead us to the steps
on our path.
816
00:40:17,082 --> 00:40:22,043
And I just... I have
to believe that
817
00:40:22,087 --> 00:40:25,046
we all are where
we're supposed to be
818
00:40:25,507 --> 00:40:27,257

especially the beautiful ones.

You know what? Bump that.
822
00:40:43,316 --> 00:40:45,316
No use wondering anymore.
823
00:40:46,027 --> 00:40:47,819
It is our time.
824
00:40:48,447 --> 00:40:49,904
Let's take it back.
825
00:40:53,034 --> 00:40:54,451
Let's dance.
826
00:40:55,328 --> 00:40:57,662
