00:00:01,135 --> 00:00:02,434
[narrator] previously
on queen sugar.
2
00:00:02,470 --> 00:00:04,186
I was in a tent in the sudan,
desperate to know
how you were,
3
00:00:04,205 --> 00:00:06,955
and you were here
with your ex-cop boyfriend
4
00:00:06,991 --> 00:00:08,507
that's the love of your life.
5
00:00:08,542 --> 00:00:09,808
Talked to blue this morning.
6
00:00:09,844 --> 00:00:11,110
Maybe we should tell him.
7
00:00:11,145 --> 00:00:12,678
I mean, everything comes out
eventually, darla.
8
00:00:12,713 --> 00:00:14,279
Not now.
9
00:00:14,315 --> 00:00:16,749
If we can find
a pattern of corruption,
10
00:00:16,784 --> 00:00:17,983
we can build a case.
11
00:00:18,019 --> 00:00:20,119
You're hiding so many secrets.
12
00:00:20,154 --> 00:00:22,621
Look, everybody
agrees this is skids.
13
00:00:22,656 --> 00:00:25,524
Whether or not betty flynn
has anything to do with this.
14
00:00:25,559 --> 00:00:27,926
She would stop it
if she could.
15
00:00:27,962 --> 00:00:29,661
It's best I do this on my own.
16
00:00:38,572 --> 00:00:40,406
-Hi, betty.
-Vi!
17
00:00:41,158 --> 00:00:42,524
Oh, my god. Is that you?
18
00:00:43,244 --> 00:00:44,676
What are you doing here?
19
00:00:45,362 --> 00:00:46,695
I needed to see you.
20
00:00:47,698 --> 00:00:49,865
I needed to look
into your eyes
21
00:00:49,900 --> 00:00:53,085
and know that you were still
the woman I knew.
22
00:00:54,672 --> 00:00:56,004
Betty, I need your help.
23
00:00:57,541 --> 00:00:58,757
I need you to come home.
24
00:00:59,910 --> 00:01:02,694
Vi, I can't go back there.
25
00:01:04,682 --> 00:01:09,852
You know I would not ask
if it wasn't important.

00:01:47,141 --> 00:01:48,207
Even my own family.
34
00:01:49,093 --> 00:01:51,710
My father, he couldn't
even look at me.
35
00:01:52,446 --> 00:01:54,096
Poor mama, she just cried.
36
00:01:54,982 --> 00:01:56,765
They all turned
their back on me.
37
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,650
Not me and ernest.
38
00:01:59,653 --> 00:02:01,136
And you're right.
39
00:02:01,155 --> 00:02:04,106
I would have never made it
out to california
if it wasn't for you two.
40
00:02:05,593 --> 00:02:08,076
Now, betty, I know
41
00:02:08,112 --> 00:02:10,462
that what I'm asking
for you to do is hard.
42
00:02:12,299 --> 00:02:13,932
But I need you.
43
00:02:13,968 --> 00:02:16,935
Vi's been trying to
reach you for months.
44
00:02:16,971 --> 00:02:20,422
We wouldn't have even came
all the way this way
if it wasn't serious.
45
00:02:21,759 --> 00:02:23,809
Y'all don't understand.
46
00:02:23,844 --> 00:02:27,162
I have not stepped foot
back at that place
47
00:02:27,181 --> 00:02:29,281
since I was
eighteen years old.
48
00:02:29,316 --> 00:02:32,151
Sam's father threatened
to kill us both
if I had the baby.
49
00:02:32,186 --> 00:02:34,153
Y'all were determined.
50
00:02:35,189 --> 00:02:38,724
Wasn't nobody gonna
tell you who you could love.
51
00:02:38,776 --> 00:02:43,395
Vi and ernest drove us
to another parish
about three hours away
52
00:02:43,430 --> 00:02:44,530
where we got married.
53
00:02:46,367 --> 00:02:48,834
[sighs] we thought that...
54
00:02:48,869 --> 00:02:50,636
...That we were gonna
be together forever.
55
00:02:52,373 --> 00:02:54,406
My grandmother left me
a little piece of land,
56
00:02:54,441 --> 00:02:55,908
so we were gonna
build a house,
57
00:02:55,943 --> 00:02:59,828
and, you know,
start our life together.
58
00:02:59,863 --> 00:03:01,780
[violet] we were packing up
betty's suitcase
59
00:03:01,815 --> 00:03:05,884
the day she and sam were
supposed to leave to go west.
60
00:03:06,787 --> 00:03:10,022
Sam shows up last minute
with a black eye
61
00:03:11,141 --> 00:03:12,491
and a wad of cash.
62
00:03:13,561 --> 00:03:15,661
His daddy beat
the mess out of him.
63
00:03:15,696 --> 00:03:19,031
Threatened to cut him off
if he went with betty.
64
00:03:19,066 --> 00:03:21,350
Oh, and I begged him.
65
00:03:22,570 --> 00:03:24,336
I begged him to come with me.
66
00:03:24,371 --> 00:03:29,608
But he was more afraid
of being broke
than being with me.
67
00:03:29,660 --> 00:03:31,810
-[hollywood] mmm.
-[violet] well, one thing
you can say about
68
00:03:31,845 --> 00:03:33,712
that sam landry
69
00:03:33,747 --> 00:03:35,414
is that money
didn't change him.
70
00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:39,001
Like that from the day
he was born.
71
00:03:39,753 --> 00:03:41,019
Lord, yes he was.
72
00:03:42,823 --> 00:03:45,324
But, you know,
that was a million years ago.
73
00:03:46,827 --> 00:03:48,126
I mean, it's all in the past.
74
00:03:48,178 --> 00:03:51,964
It ain't in the past
if you and sam
are still legally married.
75
00:03:52,016 --> 00:03:54,833
-Oh, vi, that old country
courthouse wedding--
-still legal.
76
00:03:54,868 --> 00:03:58,036
[hollywood] now right now,
your claim to that land,
77
00:03:58,072 --> 00:04:00,856
is the only thing standing
between us and the landrys.
78
00:04:00,891 --> 00:04:03,859
He wants to bulldoze
over ernest's farm.
79
00:04:06,780 --> 00:04:07,779
We need your help.
80
00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:13,318
So, where you staying
in the big apple?
81
00:04:13,354 --> 00:04:16,104
Uh, my grandma has
an apartment
on the upper west side,
82
00:04:16,123 --> 00:04:17,539
so I'm gonna kick it there.
83
00:04:17,574 --> 00:04:19,691
I hear she's setting you up
with some big fund person
or something.
84
00:04:19,727 --> 00:04:21,226
Yeah, there's
this fund manager
85
00:04:21,262 --> 00:04:23,528
that's interested in financing
the nft collective.
86
00:04:23,964 --> 00:04:24,796
So...
87
00:04:25,615 --> 00:04:26,431
[ralph angel] that's exciting.
88
00:04:27,368 --> 00:04:29,334
You don't sound
excited though.
89
00:04:29,386 --> 00:04:33,422
Last time I went down
this investor route,
it blew up in my face.
90
00:04:34,224 --> 00:04:35,590
It's hard to know
who to trust.
91
00:04:36,277 --> 00:04:37,109
I get it.
92
00:04:39,129 --> 00:04:39,978
All right.
93
00:04:40,931 --> 00:04:41,947
Ready.
94
00:04:45,886 --> 00:04:48,754
I actually wanna
chop with you before
you jet off to new york.
95
00:04:54,495 --> 00:04:55,327
So, what's up?
96
00:04:57,647 --> 00:04:58,797
Can't get him out my head.
97
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:00,332
Chase?
98
00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:04,569
Can't get him out
of my head either.
99
00:05:07,124 --> 00:05:10,258
I mean, one minute,
I'm back at my house,
100
00:05:10,294 --> 00:05:14,629
dealing with the store,
and the next, here he come,
101
00:05:14,664 --> 00:05:17,499
just messing up my peace.
102
00:05:17,518 --> 00:05:20,135
You feel like you were in
a peaceful place
before that night?
103
00:05:20,804 --> 00:05:22,854
I mean, yeah, mostly.
104
00:05:24,141 --> 00:05:25,474
I don't know.
105
00:05:25,509 --> 00:05:27,492
Got a job that provides,
106
00:05:27,528 --> 00:05:29,094
apartment I could afford,
107
00:05:29,780 --> 00:05:31,029
co-op been booming.
108
00:05:32,282 --> 00:05:35,150
I got darla, true, and blue.
109
00:05:37,204 --> 00:05:39,805
You still have
all of those things.
110
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:41,840
Yeah, but I'm in my head
now, micah.
111
00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:44,142
About it all.
112
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,112
I mean, how I'm just
supposed to let this man
113
00:05:47,147 --> 00:05:48,613
walk in my house
and do nothing?
114
00:05:49,683 --> 00:05:51,316
I'm supposed to
just let it go?
115
00:05:53,787 --> 00:05:56,288
I mean, you pulled me off him.
116
00:05:56,323 --> 00:05:57,789
Hollywood pulled me
off him, but...
117
00:05:58,976 --> 00:06:00,158
...I still wanna
make him hurt.
118
00:06:01,662 --> 00:06:03,645
I'm supposed to just let him
talk shit about blue,
119
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,497
like he's nothing,
talking crazy, like...
120
00:06:06,667 --> 00:06:07,599
[shudders]
121
00:06:07,651 --> 00:06:09,301
I could have killed him,
I swear to god.
122
00:06:09,336 --> 00:06:11,036
No, where would that
have left you?
123
00:06:11,872 --> 00:06:13,638
Or the people who love you?
124
00:06:13,674 --> 00:06:15,407
Yeah, but it don't change
how I feel, micah.
125
00:06:17,177 --> 00:06:18,910
Everybody expect me
to let it go...
126
00:06:20,013 --> 00:06:21,179
...And I'm trying.
127
00:06:22,349 --> 00:06:23,982
But I can't.
128
00:06:24,017 --> 00:06:25,200
That's just how I feel.
129
00:06:27,755 --> 00:06:29,454
Have you talked to
darla about it, or...
130
00:06:29,506 --> 00:06:31,123
I mean, she put it
all behind her.
131
00:06:31,175 --> 00:06:33,225
I bring it up,
I'm bringing up her pain.
132
00:06:35,879 --> 00:06:37,329
Your pain matters too.
133
00:06:39,032 --> 00:06:40,065
She's your partner.
134
00:06:40,517 --> 00:06:41,433
She loves you.
135
00:06:43,070 --> 00:06:44,403
You should just
chop it up with her.
136
00:06:47,191 --> 00:06:49,524
Is dominic joining us?
137
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:54,262
No, he has to help his student
with her thesis presentations.
138
00:06:54,281 --> 00:06:58,083
And did he apologize
for reading your piece?
139
00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:03,705
He did.
140
00:07:04,258 --> 00:07:05,240
We talked it out.
141
00:07:06,059 --> 00:07:07,292
But it still hurts.
142
00:07:09,563 --> 00:07:14,099
He apologized profusely
and I promised
to open up more.
143
00:07:14,134 --> 00:07:16,234
I mean, we've been
together for almost a year
144
00:07:16,270 --> 00:07:19,504
and all that time,
I thought I was really
letting him in.
145
00:07:19,540 --> 00:07:23,809
And I was in my own way,
but I'm still holding back.
I don't know.
146
00:07:29,049 --> 00:07:31,516
Okay, so six months ago,
147
00:07:31,552 --> 00:07:35,954
I thought that it was over
between me and vince
and then...
148
00:07:37,825 --> 00:07:40,058
...You couldn't have told me
that I was going to
149
00:07:40,093 --> 00:07:43,228
-propose to the man
after daddy's wedding.
-What?
150
00:07:43,263 --> 00:07:45,797
Girl, and got on one knee!
151
00:07:45,833 --> 00:07:47,449
Billie, are you serious?
152
00:07:48,135 --> 00:07:49,167
Wow!
153
00:07:51,505 --> 00:07:53,738
And he's... It's incredible.
154
00:07:53,774 --> 00:07:56,741
I mean, after all these years
of never wanting to me married
and now...
155
00:07:57,827 --> 00:07:58,910
Nova, now I do.
156
00:07:58,946 --> 00:08:01,012
Life is full of surprises,
isn't it?
157
00:08:02,349 --> 00:08:03,548
Bless you both.
158
00:08:03,584 --> 00:08:06,418
Thank you, girl.
We gonna need all
the blessings we can get.
159
00:08:08,589 --> 00:08:11,640
Well, actually there's
a reunification blessing
160
00:08:11,675 --> 00:08:13,892
that I can do for you
if you like.
161
00:08:13,927 --> 00:08:16,828
Aunt martha did it
for my folks when they
got back together.
162
00:08:16,864 --> 00:08:19,831
Yeah, I'd really
like that, please.
163
00:08:19,867 --> 00:08:20,932
Well, I'm past due to see her,
164
00:08:20,968 --> 00:08:23,685
so I'll drive
out there tomorrow,
165
00:08:23,704 --> 00:08:26,137
have her remind me
of everything I need
for you and vince.
166
00:08:29,042 --> 00:08:29,975
Wow.
167
00:08:31,378 --> 00:08:32,544
I'm really happy for you.
168
00:08:33,647 --> 00:08:34,613
Me too.
169
00:08:38,218 --> 00:08:40,151
"I'm here to speak
before the usda,
170
00:08:41,455 --> 00:08:43,855
about the inequities
in the treatment
of black farmers."
171
00:08:45,125 --> 00:08:45,957
[sighs]
172
00:08:47,361 --> 00:08:50,095
"I'm a fifth generation farmer
from st. Josephine."
173

to speak before the usda

00:08:52,699 --> 00:08:55,000
about the inequities
of..." [sighs]
175
00:08:56,303 --> 00:08:57,669
[darla] you're gonna
do great today.
176
00:09:00,207 --> 00:09:02,073
Somebody more
experienced should talk.
177
00:09:03,644 --> 00:09:08,413
You are the very best
person to talk.
178
00:09:14,755 --> 00:09:16,187
I know you're nervous.
179
00:09:16,223 --> 00:09:17,222
But you can do this.
180
00:09:20,661 --> 00:09:22,260
Thank you for being
a good partner.
181
00:09:23,897 --> 00:09:26,715
That is a very lovely thing
to hear out of nowhere.
182
00:09:27,851 --> 00:09:30,385
Thank you for being the same.
183
00:09:33,874 --> 00:09:35,574
I'll be sensitive sometimes.
184
00:09:36,193 --> 00:09:37,192
Sometimes.
185
00:09:39,746 --> 00:09:40,879
This chase thing...
186
00:09:42,249 --> 00:09:43,448
...Still got me messed up.
187
00:09:47,537 --> 00:09:49,738
I feel bad bringing it up.
188
00:09:50,624 --> 00:09:52,190
But I feel like I need
to let you know.
189
00:09:53,961 --> 00:09:55,243
I'm still not past it.
190
00:09:56,964 --> 00:09:58,530
We have the paperwork.
191
00:09:59,900 --> 00:10:01,533
We are free and clear of him.
192
00:10:03,887 --> 00:10:05,437
Please forget him.
193
00:10:05,472 --> 00:10:06,938
So, you don't wanna
make him pay?
194
00:10:08,375 --> 00:10:09,841
For what he did to you?
195
00:10:09,893 --> 00:10:11,676
I don't need that.
196
00:10:11,728 --> 00:10:14,429
And you ain't worried
about him being
in the same city as blue?
197
00:10:14,464 --> 00:10:16,598
He wants nothing to do
with blue, you heard him.
198
00:10:18,452 --> 00:10:20,402
And that ain't make you feel
some type of way?
199
00:10:21,638 --> 00:10:24,055
Him talking about
my little man
like he's nothing?
200
00:10:24,091 --> 00:10:26,941
It infuriated me, of course.
201
00:10:27,944 --> 00:10:30,395
But not as much as
him saying he wants blue
202
00:10:31,281 --> 00:10:33,031
and the nightmare
that that would be.
203
00:10:33,066 --> 00:10:34,783
We cannot have it both ways.
204
00:10:35,786 --> 00:10:37,285
Got an answer
for everything, huh?
205
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,253
Excuse me?
206
00:10:39,339 --> 00:10:40,171
Forget about it.
207
00:10:40,607 --> 00:10:41,773
Don't do that.
208
00:10:41,808 --> 00:10:45,043
-It's all good.
-Ralph angel, don't do that.
209
00:10:45,095 --> 00:10:47,412
-If you're gonna
start something, finish it.
-I'm finished.
210
00:10:56,390 --> 00:10:57,822
All right, you good?
You got your stats?
211
00:10:57,858 --> 00:10:58,723
Got it.
212
00:10:58,759 --> 00:10:59,991
Tell our story.
213
00:11:00,027 --> 00:11:00,892
Yes, sir.
214
00:11:03,096 --> 00:11:05,230
You know, all I did
to try and help you people
215
00:11:05,265 --> 00:11:07,582
and you gonna
pull a stunt like this.
216
00:11:07,601 --> 00:11:09,668
No stunt, it's just facts.
217
00:11:09,703 --> 00:11:11,336
Well, good luck in here,
you're gonna need it.
218
00:11:13,607 --> 00:11:15,206
Hey!
219
00:11:15,242 --> 00:11:17,976
[indistinct chatter]
220
00:11:18,011 --> 00:11:21,479
see, they got
a whole little club.
221
00:11:21,515 --> 00:11:23,615
They take care of each other
and make it worse for us.
222
00:11:24,584 --> 00:11:25,417
[scoffs]
223
00:11:29,790 --> 00:11:30,622
can I have a word?
224
00:11:33,727 --> 00:11:35,760
I just wanna share
one thing with you.
225
00:11:35,796 --> 00:11:37,195
Forget them white people.
226
00:11:39,115 --> 00:11:41,466
You're standing for us,
for yourself.
227
00:11:42,135 --> 00:11:43,268
For your father.
228
00:11:44,971 --> 00:11:47,839
Ernest would be so proud
of you right now.
229
00:11:47,874 --> 00:11:49,674
He is proud.
230
00:11:49,710 --> 00:11:52,610
He always knew that you would
grow into being the man
231
00:11:52,646 --> 00:11:55,280
that you were meant to be
and here you are.
232
00:11:57,451 --> 00:11:59,984
And just speak
from your heart.
233
00:12:01,722 --> 00:12:03,722
Speak for your father.
234
00:12:09,896 --> 00:12:10,762
Come on.
235
00:12:14,501 --> 00:12:16,668
So, what is the last time
you saw my daughter?
236
00:12:19,072 --> 00:12:21,740
Parker was at
the council meeting
237
00:12:21,775 --> 00:12:27,545
convincing them to overturn
the landmark on ernest's farm.
238
00:12:27,581 --> 00:12:33,167
Dig up our ancestors' remains,
her ancestors' remains.
239
00:12:33,186 --> 00:12:36,855
Oh, lord. I don't know
who she is anymore.
240
00:12:37,991 --> 00:12:40,558
This, this "parker" character
that she created.
241
00:12:40,610 --> 00:12:44,479
The name on that child's
birth certificate
is imani arsenault
242
00:12:44,514 --> 00:12:47,465
but you know what?
Sam got into her mind.
243
00:12:47,501 --> 00:12:52,103
And he told her that
she couldn't get into wharton
with a name like "imani."
244
00:12:52,139 --> 00:12:53,521
and she believed him.
245
00:12:53,540 --> 00:12:55,957
Rejected me and believed him.
246
00:12:55,992 --> 00:12:58,643
Your spirit is still in there.
247
00:12:58,678 --> 00:13:02,163
Everything that you
instilled in her, I see it.
248
00:13:04,701 --> 00:13:06,167
I gotta be honest with you,
249
00:13:07,454 --> 00:13:13,057
as much as I love you,
and as much as I owe you,
250
00:13:14,327 --> 00:13:17,662
if this were just
about the land,
251
00:13:18,865 --> 00:13:20,398
baby, I wouldn't come.
252
00:13:26,690 --> 00:13:29,174
Then that's exactly
what I'm gonna do.
253
00:13:30,527 --> 00:13:36,714
-And I am gonna be
right there with 'ya.
-Mmm.
254
00:13:36,750 --> 00:13:38,316
You don't have to do it alone.
255
00:13:43,089 --> 00:13:48,075
[sam] look everybody greases
the skids, that's just the way
it's been done here for years.
256
00:13:48,094 --> 00:13:49,427
-It's just business.
-[recorder clicked off]
257
00:13:51,865 --> 00:13:53,965
uh... [clearing throat]
258
00:13:54,017 --> 00:13:58,570
we'll now have a statement
from a local farmer
on the matter on the tape.
259
00:13:58,605 --> 00:14:02,390
Your statement will go
into the official records
of our regional branch,
260
00:14:03,193 --> 00:14:04,876
all who are present,
261
00:14:04,911 --> 00:14:10,582
as well as the state senator
representing louisiana's
agriculture committee.
262
00:14:13,236 --> 00:14:16,588
G'afternoon. [clearing throat]
263
00:14:16,623 --> 00:14:20,291
my name's
ralph angel bordelon,
outta st. Josephine parish.
264
00:14:21,378 --> 00:14:26,731
That tape you heard
is not an isolated incident.
265
00:14:26,766 --> 00:14:28,700
-Happens all the time.
-[man in room] right!
266
00:14:28,735 --> 00:14:35,673
The boudreaux and landry
family are now 18 months
past doin' their loans.
267
00:14:35,725 --> 00:14:39,544
18, and they still
occupy that property.
268
00:14:39,579 --> 00:14:43,314
Now, my neighbor,
miss parthena gilmore,
a black woman,
269
00:14:44,584 --> 00:14:47,552
she fell behind 90 days.
270
00:14:47,587 --> 00:14:53,358
90 days and got evicted
off some land her family
had for generations.
271
00:14:53,410 --> 00:14:59,130
Now the local u.S.D.A.,
it's no secret that
there's individuals
272
00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:02,033
that discriminate
against black farmers
273
00:15:02,085 --> 00:15:05,703
and has been discriminatin'
against black farmers, ever
since we had land to farm.
274
00:15:05,739 --> 00:15:08,606
Uh, mr. Bordelon,
uh, are you aware
275
00:15:08,642 --> 00:15:16,297
that the government paid out
an additional 1.2 billion
settlement funds in 2013?
276
00:15:16,332 --> 00:15:21,319
Uh, that woulda been
around the time that you were,
uh, incarcerated.
277
00:15:22,171 --> 00:15:22,971
Correct?
278
00:15:25,625 --> 00:15:26,474
That's correct.
279
00:15:27,861 --> 00:15:30,561
I was incarcerated
when I was younger.
280
00:15:30,597 --> 00:15:34,365
Made some mistakes,
I did some time,
and I paid for 'em.
281
00:15:35,335 --> 00:15:39,353
I came home ready
to work like my daddy,
282
00:15:39,372 --> 00:15:44,158
who worked to support
our family, tryin' to climb up
some ladder that don't exist.
283
00:15:45,462 --> 00:15:49,247
When men,
like sam landry, get
to play by their own rules,
284
00:15:49,282 --> 00:15:51,282
what ladder?
285
00:15:51,318 --> 00:15:56,721
My daughter girl, tru,
she ten months old,
my boy, he's 11.
286
00:15:58,207 --> 00:16:00,842
I'm not here today
on my behalf,
I'm here for them.
287
00:16:01,728 --> 00:16:04,696
In hopes,
that things'll be different,
288
00:16:04,731 --> 00:16:07,999
not only for them,
but hopefully
for their kids, too.
289
00:16:08,835 --> 00:16:10,318
I mean, it has to stop.
290
00:16:11,220 --> 00:16:12,937
I won't give up.
291
00:16:12,989 --> 00:16:14,339
-We need--
-ahem, all right,
thank you,
292
00:16:14,374 --> 00:16:17,141
uh, your remarks
will be duly noted.
293
00:16:17,177 --> 00:16:19,027
-Uh, next order of business--
-now, just a minute,
294
00:16:20,030 --> 00:16:22,030
I want to review these files.
295
00:16:22,065 --> 00:16:24,716
We'll put some time
on the schedule to discuss
at next week's meeting.
296
00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:30,521
I'll need all
of mr. Miller's case records
for the last decade.
297
00:16:30,557 --> 00:16:34,125
My office and I will be going
through these personally,
298
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,862
and we'll be sharing
our findings with the state
agricultural committee.
299
00:16:37,897 --> 00:16:41,532
I'll also need
sam landry's u.S.D.A.
Loan history, as well.
300
00:16:41,568 --> 00:16:45,520
-And what was the other name
you mentioned, sir?
-Boudreaux.
301
00:16:45,555 --> 00:16:51,309
Thank you, mr. Bordelon
for coming here and sharing
your experience with us today.
302
00:16:51,344 --> 00:16:53,411
Thank you
for your time today.
I thank you.
303
00:16:54,447 --> 00:16:56,397
[indistinct chatter]
304
00:17:00,086 --> 00:17:02,653
[reporter] with just
four weeks to go
until election day,
305
00:17:02,689 --> 00:17:05,923
progressive candidate,
charley bordelon,
trails by five points
306
00:17:05,959 --> 00:17:08,493
behind incumbent,
john green, in the polls,
307
00:17:08,528 --> 00:17:10,962
and this race will be
one to watch closely.
308
00:17:13,867 --> 00:17:15,099
Your mom's a badass.
309
00:17:17,704 --> 00:17:19,937
I sat on a panel
with her once at harvard,
310
00:17:19,973 --> 00:17:22,673
women changing
the cultural landscape.
311
00:17:22,726 --> 00:17:24,108
She had the audience
on their feet at the end.
312
00:17:26,746 --> 00:17:30,481
-I'm rae.
-Micah, it's nice
to meet you.
313
00:17:32,452 --> 00:17:36,354
Um, you know, when my grandma
said she was setting me up
with a fund manager named rae,
314
00:17:36,406 --> 00:17:39,290
-I was kind of expecting--
-a white tech bro?
315
00:17:39,325 --> 00:17:42,360
-[chuckling] a white
tech bro, yeah.
-Listen, I get it.
316
00:17:42,395 --> 00:17:45,329
It's what we're used to,
but it doesn't have to be
what it is.
317
00:17:45,999 --> 00:17:46,964
Amen.
318
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,300
That's exactly why I put
together my own fund.
319
00:17:49,335 --> 00:17:51,569
You know, my pitch
to investors was simple.
320
00:17:51,604 --> 00:17:53,871
Finding propulsive ideas that
are gonna shake up the world,
321
00:17:53,907 --> 00:17:56,908
should be spearheaded by those
who inherit the world.
322
00:17:56,943 --> 00:18:00,111
Young people, who know
what will appeal to us, right?
323
00:18:00,146 --> 00:18:02,947
-Absolutely.
-[waiter] can I take
your order?
324
00:18:02,982 --> 00:18:04,882
[rae] can you bring
us each one
a the small bites?
325
00:18:04,934 --> 00:18:05,933
-Thank you.
-[micah] thanks.
326
00:18:07,454 --> 00:18:09,654
-So...
-So...
327
00:18:09,689 --> 00:18:12,273
I wanna know what makes
an up and coming photographer
328
00:18:12,308 --> 00:18:14,292
leave an established place
and go out on your own?
329
00:18:15,595 --> 00:18:18,329
You're either crazy or brave.
330
00:18:18,364 --> 00:18:21,999
I don't know, I guess
I didn't know who I was
until I picked up a camera,
331
00:18:22,035 --> 00:18:24,986
and ever since then,
I felt this pull.
332
00:18:25,021 --> 00:18:30,458
I wanna create something
for us in web3, decidedly
and definitively black.
333
00:18:30,493 --> 00:18:31,309
World changing.
334
00:18:33,963 --> 00:18:37,315
-You sound like an idealist.
The best kind of people.
-[micah chuckling]
335
00:18:37,350 --> 00:18:41,252
but I didn't just build
this fund on dreams,
I built it on data.
336
00:18:41,287 --> 00:18:44,622
On the hard fact
that authenticity can be
profitable, I believe that.
337
00:18:44,657 --> 00:18:45,556
I agree.
338
00:18:47,694 --> 00:18:50,661
I'm gonna really need to delve
into your creative portfolio
and your business plan.
339
00:18:50,697 --> 00:18:52,180
I'm ready for that.
340
00:18:54,167 --> 00:18:58,469
-But are you ready for this?
'cause this looks incredible.
-[micah] oh, wow. Ooh.
341
00:18:58,505 --> 00:19:00,872
-We gotta eat while
we change the world, right?
-Yeah, right.
342
00:19:20,376 --> 00:19:21,375
Aunt martha?
343
00:19:24,764 --> 00:19:27,565
-Who's there?
-[exhaling] hi!
344
00:19:28,434 --> 00:19:29,867
I'm looking
for my aunt martha.
345
00:19:31,337 --> 00:19:32,570
Nova, right?
346
00:19:34,574 --> 00:19:37,875
I'm pearl, next house over.
347
00:19:37,911 --> 00:19:40,444
Hi, miss pearl.
Is... Is she around?
348
00:19:44,217 --> 00:19:45,850
Uh, I'm sorry, dear.
349
00:19:48,454 --> 00:19:51,572
Aunt martha crossed
over last month.
350
00:20:05,638 --> 00:20:06,487
Huh.
351
00:20:07,890 --> 00:20:09,707
The past few weeks been hard.
352
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,696
[pearl whimpering]
she led all our prayers.
353
00:20:21,387 --> 00:20:24,121
You look just like them.
354
00:20:24,157 --> 00:20:28,659
Oh, those lavoisier women
had a air about them.
355
00:20:28,695 --> 00:20:32,196
Regal, you could see
it in their eyes.
356
00:20:35,368 --> 00:20:38,569
-You knew my mother?
[exhaling]
-oh, yes.
357
00:20:38,605 --> 00:20:40,104
She had a gift.
358
00:20:43,176 --> 00:20:48,279
I haven't kept up this part
of me. I feel like
it's all lost now.
359
00:20:55,021 --> 00:20:56,854
She left that out for you.
360
00:20:58,791 --> 00:21:00,658
I'm gonna give you some time.
361
00:21:00,710 --> 00:21:03,127
I'll be right across the way
if you need anything.
362
00:21:04,631 --> 00:21:05,463
Thank you.
363
00:21:16,092 --> 00:21:17,475
[sighing]
364
00:21:24,217 --> 00:21:25,449
[sniffling]
365
00:21:41,434 --> 00:21:43,000
[exhaling]
366
00:22:07,827 --> 00:22:11,262
-[micah] I appreciate
you letting me tag along.
-Oh, it was my pleasure.
367
00:22:11,297 --> 00:22:14,148
We can't have you roamin'
these mean streets unattended.
368
00:22:14,183 --> 00:22:18,469
This isn't the hottest club
or whatever you did
with ivory, but it's a vibe.
369
00:22:18,504 --> 00:22:19,470
For sure.
370
00:22:22,608 --> 00:22:23,441
[softly] wow.
371
00:22:31,017 --> 00:22:33,117
♪ anybody here don't need
to count heads ♪
372
00:22:33,152 --> 00:22:35,086

373
00:22:35,121 --> 00:22:39,990
hey! The queen

374
00:22:40,026 --> 00:22:41,659
Hey.
375
00:22:41,694 --> 00:22:43,627
-Micah, this is blaze,
they're...
-Hey.
376
00:22:43,663 --> 00:22:45,129
...An incredible
performance artist,
377
00:22:45,164 --> 00:22:48,466
print makers, supported
by the ford foundation.
378
00:22:48,501 --> 00:22:51,602
Favorite
of darren walker, himself.
379
00:22:51,637 --> 00:22:56,006
-I mean, the ford foundation,
that's... Congratulations.
-Appreciate it.
380
00:22:56,042 --> 00:22:57,708
Micah west, right?
381
00:22:57,744 --> 00:23:00,778
-Amazing new artist
outta new orleans.
-I'm familiar.
382
00:23:00,813 --> 00:23:02,680
-Interesting work.
-Thank you.
383
00:23:04,083 --> 00:23:07,017
For the record, that nft
that I posted of my parents
384
00:23:07,053 --> 00:23:09,487
is a completely
different direction.
385
00:23:09,522 --> 00:23:12,623
Yeah, that one
was not the move.
386
00:23:12,658 --> 00:23:16,627
But then I saw your new stuff,
those photos
from the hurricane clean up.
387
00:23:16,679 --> 00:23:21,532
Out of all that
destruction and pain,
you capture connection.
388
00:23:21,567 --> 00:23:25,536
That's what it's
all about, connection.
We need more a that.
389
00:23:25,571 --> 00:23:27,705
-I agree.
-Ooh, let's
see what's cookin'.
390
00:23:29,876 --> 00:23:33,411
Liza works
for shenarri freeman
at cadence. You know it?
391
00:23:33,446 --> 00:23:37,415
-Um, no. No, should I?
-Damn, I shoulda
taken you there.
392
00:23:37,450 --> 00:23:39,517
The best vegan soul food
you've ever had.
393
00:23:39,552 --> 00:23:40,684
-[micah] okay.
-They made
the new york times
394
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,319
for the most
exciting restaurants.
395
00:23:42,355 --> 00:23:44,938
-Those sisters can burn.
-Mmm...
396
00:23:44,957 --> 00:23:46,207
-[rae] ready
to meet more people?
-Yeah.
397
00:23:46,793 --> 00:23:48,092
Come on.
398
00:23:48,127 --> 00:23:52,196
-Good people, this is micah
west, straight outta the no.
-No!
399
00:23:52,231 --> 00:23:53,664
What's up?
400
00:23:53,716 --> 00:23:56,500
I never imagined this much
drama to get this deal done.
401
00:23:56,552 --> 00:23:58,452
[sam] it's always somethin'
with those people.
402
00:23:58,471 --> 00:24:00,504
They always had to push.
403
00:24:00,540 --> 00:24:03,290
Well, maybe we played
the wrong hand with them.
404
00:24:03,309 --> 00:24:06,043
-Maybe we shoulda tried
finesse tactics.
-No.
405
00:24:07,146 --> 00:24:11,599
For people like them,
only dominance works.
406
00:24:14,136 --> 00:24:15,619
Well, it hasn't been working.
407
00:24:17,106 --> 00:24:18,572
Are you doubting me?
408
00:24:19,659 --> 00:24:21,275
Quite frankly, yes.
409
00:24:24,146 --> 00:24:28,616
I had no intention
of being here this long.
410
00:24:28,651 --> 00:24:33,087
-What we're
doing isn't working.
-It all ends today.
411
00:24:33,122 --> 00:24:36,540
The council will vote
in our favor,
and the bank issues,
412
00:24:36,592 --> 00:24:41,979
the permit issues,
the historical society issues,
all disappear.
413
00:24:42,014 --> 00:24:47,685
And you, a black descendent,
have domain over that property
as much as them.
414
00:24:48,921 --> 00:24:51,121
It's a full circle
moment for me.
415
00:24:52,942 --> 00:24:56,277
It's... It's fate.
416
00:24:56,312 --> 00:25:00,531
It's... Perfect.
417
00:25:04,670 --> 00:25:09,106
Thank you all for coming.
Usually our board
meetings are closed.
418
00:25:09,141 --> 00:25:15,813
But with a project like this
with the starts and stops,
we wanted full visibility.
419
00:25:15,848 --> 00:25:18,315
-So you know
it's real this time.
-[board chuckling]
420
00:25:18,351 --> 00:25:21,335
if there isn't
any further discussion
from the board,
421
00:25:22,305 --> 00:25:24,338
let's make this vote official!
422
00:25:24,373 --> 00:25:26,857
All in favor of finalizing
423
00:25:26,893 --> 00:25:29,093
the sale of land
for the commercial
development--
424
00:25:29,145 --> 00:25:34,498
uh, before a vote, uh,
at this time, outside remarks
must be heard.
425
00:25:34,534 --> 00:25:37,818
Now, that's, uh, according
to the hamilton bylaws.
426
00:25:38,905 --> 00:25:40,871
I'm a long time farmer
in this community,
427
00:25:40,907 --> 00:25:43,974
and a proud member
of the farmin' coop.
428
00:25:44,911 --> 00:25:48,646
Okay then,
community comments time.
429
00:25:48,681 --> 00:25:50,197
-[board chuckling]
-give it your best shot, sir.
430
00:25:59,425 --> 00:26:02,092
How are you gonna sell
land this isn't yours, sam?
431
00:26:06,332 --> 00:26:07,164
Mama?
432
00:26:08,568 --> 00:26:09,934
Surprised to see me, baby?
433
00:26:11,103 --> 00:26:14,355
Uh, yes. Yes, ma'am.
434
00:26:14,890 --> 00:26:16,256
What are you doing here?
435
00:26:16,275 --> 00:26:18,275
Something that I should have
done long time ago.
436
00:26:19,094 --> 00:26:20,244
I've come to get you.
437
00:26:21,697 --> 00:26:24,415
Uh... Get me?
438
00:26:24,450 --> 00:26:27,868
I've let your father turn
you into someone that
I don't even recognize,
439
00:26:27,903 --> 00:26:29,553
and for what?
440
00:26:29,589 --> 00:26:35,209
Baby, none of his... His money
and power is worth a damn
when you're miserable.
441
00:26:35,244 --> 00:26:37,428
I'm miserable,
and I think you are, too.
442
00:26:45,738 --> 00:26:48,622
Mother, please,
it's a done deal.
443
00:26:48,641 --> 00:26:51,442
I can't let you do this.
444
00:26:51,477 --> 00:26:53,460
It's the one that keeps
your checks coming
every month.
445
00:26:53,479 --> 00:26:54,728
Don't bite the hand, mom.
446
00:26:58,133 --> 00:26:59,917
W... Watch
your mouth, partner.
447
00:27:07,393 --> 00:27:14,114
Part of the land that
sam landry is leveraging
for this deal is mine.
448
00:27:20,473 --> 00:27:21,572
It's ours.
449
00:27:22,308 --> 00:27:25,309
Mine and my daughter's.
450
00:27:44,030 --> 00:27:47,881
-This marriage certificate
doesn't mean anything unless--
-he never filed for divorce,
451
00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:49,066
and I didn't either.
452
00:27:49,985 --> 00:27:53,003
This, this paper right here,
453
00:27:54,407 --> 00:27:58,809
it's signed by sam
and his father,
your grandfather.
454
00:27:58,844 --> 00:28:02,379
Violet and ernest helped
me figure out what to ask for.
455
00:28:02,415 --> 00:28:07,484
A lump sum,
plus quarterly payments
according to interest rates.
456
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:08,752
That was ernest's idea.
457
00:28:09,488 --> 00:28:11,722
Plus, full custody of you.
458
00:28:11,757 --> 00:28:13,123
-[betty] and--
-land.
459
00:28:13,159 --> 00:28:14,992
I think that's why
he never divorced me.
460
00:28:15,027 --> 00:28:17,461
He figured as long as we were
legally wed, it was his.
461
00:28:17,496 --> 00:28:20,564
But, I guess he counted
on me never coming back.
462
00:28:22,101 --> 00:28:23,417
Why are you back?
463
00:28:23,436 --> 00:28:24,835
You don't care
about this place.
464
00:28:24,870 --> 00:28:26,303
I came back for you.
465
00:28:26,338 --> 00:28:27,971
Mother, I live in atlanta,
466
00:28:28,007 --> 00:28:29,840
and could give a damn
about this place myself.
467
00:28:29,875 --> 00:28:31,175
I just want my money.
468
00:28:31,210 --> 00:28:32,376
That's what I care about.
469
00:28:32,411 --> 00:28:34,144
Well, I care about you.
470
00:28:34,180 --> 00:28:35,579
Selling out the bordelons,
471
00:28:35,614 --> 00:28:37,247
and bulldozing over
land that our family
472
00:28:37,283 --> 00:28:38,515
has worked on for decades?
473
00:28:38,551 --> 00:28:41,051
Letting your father take
what he promised to me?
474
00:28:41,087 --> 00:28:42,586
All that cannot abide.
475
00:28:42,621 --> 00:28:44,121
You cannot let this happen.
476
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:46,256
You are better than this.
477
00:28:46,292 --> 00:28:47,891
You come from
better than this.
478
00:28:48,461 --> 00:28:49,860
My side, good people.
479
00:28:50,863 --> 00:28:52,296
You are good.
480
00:28:53,466 --> 00:28:54,765
Walk away from this, imari.
481
00:28:56,235 --> 00:28:57,468
It's parker.
482
00:29:09,482 --> 00:29:12,049
[nova] I feel like
I let martha and my
mother down.
483
00:29:12,084 --> 00:29:13,517
I should have went
to see her more often,
484
00:29:13,552 --> 00:29:16,904
I should have been more
in tune with her all along,
485
00:29:16,939 --> 00:29:19,773
with everything on my
mother's side of the family.
486
00:29:19,808 --> 00:29:22,142
I lost my way.
I got distracted.
487
00:29:22,161 --> 00:29:23,444
My book, dominic.
488
00:29:24,113 --> 00:29:25,329
It's not me.
489
00:29:25,831 --> 00:29:27,281
I failed her.
490
00:29:27,316 --> 00:29:29,266
I failed all of them.
491
00:29:29,301 --> 00:29:32,736
Do you still feel
things for people?
492
00:29:32,772 --> 00:29:36,406
When you were little,
you'd get a feeling from
somebody, and just,
493
00:29:36,442 --> 00:29:38,942
I don't know, you'd kinda
go off in a trance somehow.
494
00:29:40,262 --> 00:29:41,378
Sometimes.
495
00:29:41,413 --> 00:29:43,630
My mom had it too,
but I haven't cultivated it.
496
00:29:43,665 --> 00:29:45,766
Practiced it.
I just let it go.
497
00:29:45,801 --> 00:29:49,503
I mean, I can barely remember
blessings and incantations.
498
00:29:49,522 --> 00:29:51,138
Chants, herbs...
499
00:29:52,274 --> 00:29:54,057
...I don't know
how I got here.
500
00:29:54,093 --> 00:29:55,342
[billie] you still
believe they're here?
501
00:29:55,361 --> 00:29:57,828
That those that have
gone before us are still
among us now?
502
00:29:57,863 --> 00:29:59,980
Yes, you know I do.
503
00:30:00,015 --> 00:30:01,448
Then it's not too late.
504
00:30:02,518 --> 00:30:04,334
Shut 'em down, nova.
505
00:30:04,370 --> 00:30:06,153
Do the work and get it back.
506
00:30:10,843 --> 00:30:11,842
What is she doing here?
507
00:30:12,795 --> 00:30:13,794
Who?
508
00:30:19,018 --> 00:30:21,201
That was me last year.
509
00:30:21,220 --> 00:30:23,720
Trying to find a place
to drown my memories.
510
00:30:27,042 --> 00:30:28,292
Think we should ask her over?
511
00:30:28,327 --> 00:30:29,343
Hell no!
512
00:30:30,045 --> 00:30:31,311
What are you even saying?
513
00:30:31,347 --> 00:30:34,631
Right now, she seems
like the enemy.
514
00:30:34,667 --> 00:30:36,967
But I'm gonna talk to her
like a human being.
515
00:30:37,002 --> 00:30:38,202
It might make a difference.
516
00:30:45,811 --> 00:30:47,778
Make it a whiskey,
and one for her, too.
517
00:30:47,813 --> 00:30:48,862
[bartender] yes, ma'am.
Coming right up.
518
00:30:48,897 --> 00:30:50,647
[chuckles]
519
00:30:52,901 --> 00:30:54,251
I'd ask for a martini,
520
00:30:54,286 --> 00:30:56,787
but I don't think they
know how to make that
in this podunk town.
521
00:30:56,822 --> 00:30:58,539
-[bartender] here
you go, ladies.
-You'd be surprised.
522
00:31:00,025 --> 00:31:02,359
So you look like you could
use some company.
523
00:31:04,163 --> 00:31:05,362
You wanna join us?
524
00:31:08,033 --> 00:31:09,032
No, thanks.
525
00:31:14,690 --> 00:31:15,689
Hey.
526
00:31:16,892 --> 00:31:18,308
You ever call that man?
527
00:31:18,344 --> 00:31:19,576
I did.
528
00:31:19,612 --> 00:31:21,311
And we're getting married.
529
00:31:21,363 --> 00:31:22,813
[gasps]
530
00:31:22,848 --> 00:31:24,581
because of my advice?
531
00:31:24,617 --> 00:31:26,049
[both chuckle]
532
00:31:26,085 --> 00:31:27,818
maybe a little.
533
00:31:27,853 --> 00:31:29,202
But you know, none of that
would have happened
534
00:31:29,238 --> 00:31:30,404
if I hadn't come home.
535
00:31:31,390 --> 00:31:32,406
Faced my past.
536
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,910
And we both know a little bit
537
00:31:36,945 --> 00:31:39,413
about coming home
and blowing things up.
538
00:31:41,133 --> 00:31:42,716
Where you been living again?
539
00:31:43,736 --> 00:31:44,735
Chicago.
540
00:31:45,754 --> 00:31:46,904
You're lucky you got out.
541
00:31:47,723 --> 00:31:48,922
I was run out.
542
00:31:50,626 --> 00:31:51,808
Just like you and your mother.
543
00:31:54,229 --> 00:31:55,812
You ever ask her why she left?
544
00:32:01,070 --> 00:32:02,402
I tried, but...
545
00:32:03,639 --> 00:32:04,938
...But she shuts down.
546
00:32:06,325 --> 00:32:10,294
And yet, she still came back
to face your father anyhow.
547
00:32:17,069 --> 00:32:18,068
[door opening]
548
00:32:22,007 --> 00:32:23,440
vi's cooking dinner later.
549
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,243
Wants us to come by
and meet betty.
550
00:32:27,780 --> 00:32:28,795
[ralph angel exhales]
551
00:32:33,168 --> 00:32:34,468
I'm scared.
552
00:32:34,503 --> 00:32:35,485
Of what?
553
00:32:37,022 --> 00:32:38,822
I thought that all this
was behind us.
554
00:32:39,992 --> 00:32:40,991
But I guess it was...
555
00:32:42,161 --> 00:32:43,143
...Only behind me.
556
00:32:44,363 --> 00:32:46,279
I'm scared to bring
all this back up again.
557
00:32:46,315 --> 00:32:47,698
I don't get the point.
558
00:32:50,369 --> 00:32:51,702
But if it's hurting you,
559
00:32:53,806 --> 00:32:55,072
I'll do it.
560
00:32:55,107 --> 00:32:56,273
[ralph angel] I'm not
trying to hurt you.
561
00:32:57,376 --> 00:32:59,376
But if I don't talk about it,
nothing changes.
562
00:33:00,112 --> 00:33:01,545
What do you wanna change?
563
00:33:03,615 --> 00:33:04,948
I think we should tell him.
564
00:33:07,286 --> 00:33:09,353
Tell him what?
565
00:33:09,388 --> 00:33:11,755
He already knows you're not
his biological father.
566
00:33:11,807 --> 00:33:13,256
What else do you
wanna tell him?
567
00:33:13,308 --> 00:33:16,126
I don't want him being
surprised if he finds out
about chase.
568
00:33:16,161 --> 00:33:17,995
I mean, they living
in the same city.
569
00:33:18,030 --> 00:33:19,663
What if he end up at school
with the man kids--
570
00:33:19,698 --> 00:33:22,132
I do not want our son
571
00:33:22,851 --> 00:33:24,501
to associate that night
572
00:33:26,038 --> 00:33:27,738
with what happened to me.
573
00:33:29,208 --> 00:33:30,474
With who he is.
574
00:33:31,710 --> 00:33:34,444
That's not his identity,
ralph angel, he's,
575
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,280
he's so much more
than where he came from.
576
00:33:37,332 --> 00:33:38,815
Ain't it better
coming from us?
577
00:33:38,851 --> 00:33:40,384
Ralph angel, he's only 11.
578
00:33:41,186 --> 00:33:43,153
He is too young.
579
00:33:43,188 --> 00:33:45,706
Blue is smart as hell.
Now he's too young?
580
00:33:46,658 --> 00:33:47,858
I don't want him catching up.
581
00:33:47,893 --> 00:33:49,960
I always want him to know
where he stands with us.
582
00:33:50,012 --> 00:33:51,795
You are doing
too much, ralph angel,
you are doing too much.
583
00:33:51,847 --> 00:33:54,664
It's his, this is
so unnecessary!
584
00:33:54,700 --> 00:33:56,500
-Where is this coming from?
-It's coming from my gut!
585
00:33:59,388 --> 00:34:01,671
Look, I remember when charlie
would come for summers.
586
00:34:02,941 --> 00:34:05,008
And I knew we have
the same mom.
587
00:34:05,044 --> 00:34:06,510
But pops never
talked about it.
588
00:34:08,113 --> 00:34:09,279
But it hurt.
589
00:34:09,848 --> 00:34:10,847
All of us.
590
00:34:11,717 --> 00:34:13,316
Look, I know how that feels.
591
00:34:13,368 --> 00:34:14,651
And I don't want
blue going through that.
592
00:34:14,686 --> 00:34:17,054
Blue isn't you, ralph angel.
593
00:34:18,390 --> 00:34:20,440
He is too young.
594
00:34:20,459 --> 00:34:21,958
And it is too soon.
595
00:34:26,465 --> 00:34:27,631
No.
596
00:34:29,201 --> 00:34:30,400
[exhales]
597
00:34:34,139 --> 00:34:36,089
[betty] you know,
she's never gonna forgive me.
598
00:34:36,124 --> 00:34:38,942
[exhales] I just feel
like I lost my daughter.
599
00:34:40,279 --> 00:34:41,261
Yeah, well.
600
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,263
I'm not a mother.
601
00:34:44,983 --> 00:34:48,068
But I know a little bit
about raising a baby,
602
00:34:48,103 --> 00:34:49,903
and letting them go.
603
00:34:51,156 --> 00:34:53,857
And I'm sure that
you made the choice
604
00:34:53,909 --> 00:34:56,493
that you thought
was best at the time.
605
00:34:58,814 --> 00:35:01,281
And I'm also sure
606
00:35:01,316 --> 00:35:06,570
that that girl has more of you
in her than she even knows.
607
00:35:09,641 --> 00:35:10,740
[violet] sam.
608
00:35:14,113 --> 00:35:15,112
Mm-mm.
609
00:35:16,331 --> 00:35:17,481
You're not welcome here.
610
00:35:18,250 --> 00:35:19,266
I'm okay about it.
611
00:35:21,653 --> 00:35:22,652
I'm okay.
612
00:35:37,202 --> 00:35:38,635
I brought you the paperwork.
613
00:35:39,605 --> 00:35:41,171
Giving you the land outright.
614
00:35:45,711 --> 00:35:47,911
I can't afford
for this to go public,
615
00:35:47,963 --> 00:35:49,379
after all these years.
616
00:35:56,471 --> 00:35:58,839
-You still take
my breath away--
-don't.
617
00:36:06,331 --> 00:36:09,166
You ever wonder
what our lives would
have been like,
618
00:36:09,201 --> 00:36:10,267
together?
619
00:36:10,302 --> 00:36:12,135
Yeah. I do.
620
00:36:14,740 --> 00:36:17,240
Everything would
have been different.
621
00:36:18,076 --> 00:36:20,510
Not just our lives.
Our daughter.
622
00:36:21,580 --> 00:36:24,381
This whole town
could have been different,
623
00:36:24,416 --> 00:36:26,883
and you could have
made that happen.
624
00:36:27,870 --> 00:36:29,002
Fight hatred.
625
00:36:29,755 --> 00:36:31,321
Set an example.
626
00:36:32,925 --> 00:36:34,090
But you were weak.
627
00:36:35,027 --> 00:36:36,526
You were a coward.
628
00:36:38,230 --> 00:36:39,546
So you took the easy way out.
629
00:36:40,582 --> 00:36:42,515
I wish I had
been stronger then.
630
00:36:47,539 --> 00:36:48,605
And now.
631
00:37:10,729 --> 00:37:13,163
-Hey, vi?
-[violet] hey, baby!
632
00:37:13,198 --> 00:37:15,665
-[ralph angel]
what's going on?
-Where's darla? And tru?
633
00:37:15,717 --> 00:37:18,735
Tru was fussing, so darla
stayed home with her.
634
00:37:18,770 --> 00:37:21,454
-Good to see you too.
-Mm. [chuckles]
635
00:37:21,473 --> 00:37:24,674
betty, this is my nephew,
ralph angel.
636
00:37:24,710 --> 00:37:28,245
He's the reason that I flew
to seattle to see you.
637
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,614
-[ralph angel] how you doing?
-Oh, look at you!
638
00:37:31,984 --> 00:37:34,100
Oh, I knew your daddy from,
639
00:37:34,135 --> 00:37:35,568
from almost the day
I was born.
640
00:37:35,604 --> 00:37:39,155
And I heard about
everything you're doing
in st. Jo with the co-op.
641
00:37:40,092 --> 00:37:42,275
Your daddy would be so proud.
642
00:37:42,310 --> 00:37:45,078
I don't know if we could
have held on without
you stepping in.
643
00:37:45,113 --> 00:37:47,530
Yeah, the arsenaults
and bordelons
644
00:37:47,566 --> 00:37:50,533
been shoulder to shoulder
a long time.
645
00:37:50,569 --> 00:37:52,469
And it's not gonna stop now.
646
00:37:53,238 --> 00:37:54,304
[chuckling]
647
00:37:54,339 --> 00:37:56,606
[betty] my daddy
was hard on me,
648
00:37:56,642 --> 00:37:59,075
but I knew deep down,
he loved me.
649
00:37:59,928 --> 00:38:03,446
And, he would
want me to do this.
650
00:38:03,482 --> 00:38:06,483
This is the property deed
to the land sam stole.
651
00:38:06,518 --> 00:38:08,802
My land, in my name,
like it should have been
all along.
652
00:38:11,523 --> 00:38:13,990
That land's just been sitting
there, all these years.
653
00:38:15,494 --> 00:38:17,110
So I know you're gonna
put it to good use.
654
00:38:27,039 --> 00:38:28,271
This is for the co-op?
655
00:38:28,774 --> 00:38:30,240
For the bordelons.
656
00:38:30,275 --> 00:38:32,642
I mean, build a new
house on it, farm it,
657
00:38:32,678 --> 00:38:34,611
sell it and get
your land back, whatever.
658
00:38:34,646 --> 00:38:36,379
Just make good use of it.
659
00:38:37,983 --> 00:38:39,833
Make it mean something.
660
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,358
Feels like one thing
after another since
we lost our land.
661
00:38:48,393 --> 00:38:50,226
Not knowing if
I'm doing the right thing.
662
00:38:51,146 --> 00:38:52,312
Going the right way.
663
00:38:54,232 --> 00:38:55,465
And you bless me with this.
664
00:38:59,071 --> 00:39:00,937
-Lets me know
he's still watching.
-[betty] mm.
665
00:39:00,972 --> 00:39:02,339
Telling me to keep going.
666
00:39:03,892 --> 00:39:05,358
Thank you ain't
enough, miss betty.
667
00:39:07,546 --> 00:39:09,562
You just keep going, baby.
668
00:39:09,581 --> 00:39:11,181
Keep going.
669
00:39:12,551 --> 00:39:13,900
[ralph angel] thank you.
670
00:39:13,919 --> 00:39:15,118
[betty] you're welcome.
671
00:39:15,170 --> 00:39:16,486
[all laughing]
672
00:39:16,521 --> 00:39:18,021
I'm telling you,
now these two,
673
00:39:18,056 --> 00:39:20,957
they used to follow
me and ernest around
like puppies.
674
00:39:20,992 --> 00:39:22,525
[all laughing]
675
00:39:22,561 --> 00:39:25,862
asking him all these questions
about the kind of music
he was listening to,
676
00:39:25,897 --> 00:39:27,697
what's his favorite
movie that he watched--
677
00:39:27,733 --> 00:39:29,499
well, of course we did!
What did you expect?
678
00:39:29,534 --> 00:39:30,800
We were 10, and you were,
679
00:39:30,836 --> 00:39:34,237
-you guys were, what,
uh, 17 and 18?
-Wow.
680
00:39:34,272 --> 00:39:36,506
-Shoot, you was
the coolest people we knew!
-We didn't know no better!
681
00:39:36,541 --> 00:39:38,308
-[laughing]
-well, I'd have
gave anything to see
682
00:39:38,343 --> 00:39:40,210
a 17-year-old mr. Prosper!
683
00:39:40,245 --> 00:39:42,712
But I bet you was cooler
than a polar bear's toenails.
684
00:39:42,748 --> 00:39:43,897
Still hella cool!
685
00:39:43,932 --> 00:39:45,515
-Yeah! I'm nice!
-Hey!
686
00:39:45,550 --> 00:39:48,084
I had the biggest
crush on ernest.
687
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,153
Ah, but vi, you knew that.
688
00:39:50,188 --> 00:39:52,021
Every girl in town did.
689
00:39:52,057 --> 00:39:53,823
By the time I was old enough,
690
00:39:53,859 --> 00:39:56,025
you know, he was
already with trudy,
691
00:39:56,061 --> 00:39:58,061
and then sam
started coming around.
692
00:40:00,031 --> 00:40:02,465
You ever wonder
what could have been?
693
00:40:03,135 --> 00:40:04,784
Don't do no good, baby.
694
00:40:04,803 --> 00:40:06,770
'cause boy,
I coulda been your mama.
695
00:40:06,805 --> 00:40:09,739
[all laugh]
696
00:40:10,442 --> 00:40:11,808
[knocking on door]
697
00:40:27,993 --> 00:40:28,992
uh...
698
00:40:32,414 --> 00:40:33,780
...I came to apologize.
699
00:40:35,567 --> 00:40:37,267
I didn't know the whole story.
700
00:40:38,670 --> 00:40:40,620
I didn't know
he abandoned you.
701
00:40:42,674 --> 00:40:43,606
Us.
702
00:40:46,244 --> 00:40:47,460
Why didn't you tell me?
703
00:40:48,630 --> 00:40:50,713
Because I didn't want you
704
00:40:50,765 --> 00:40:52,765
to walk through this world
with the bitterness
705
00:40:53,435 --> 00:40:55,135
that I held on for so long.
706
00:41:05,363 --> 00:41:06,429
[violet] parker.
707
00:41:07,649 --> 00:41:08,765
Baby, come on. Sit down.
708
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,600
We got all this food here,
709
00:41:10,635 --> 00:41:12,785
it's just us,
come be yourself.
710
00:41:12,821 --> 00:41:13,820
Please, baby.
711
00:41:15,157 --> 00:41:16,289
Stay.
712
00:41:37,162 --> 00:41:39,362
This man was just
in the middle of a lie.
713
00:41:39,397 --> 00:41:41,865
[stammering] here,
here we go! Here we go!
714
00:41:41,900 --> 00:41:43,666
