I'm gonna really need to delve
into your creative portfolio.

I'm ready for that.

last month.

more in tune

on my mother's side

I've been on an island

-And you've been
struggling to love me.
-Dominic.

00:00:20,683 --> 00:00:22,900
I don't want him
being surprised
if he finds out about chase.
12
00:00:22,919 --> 00:00:24,652
This is so unnecessary.
13
00:00:24,687 --> 00:00:26,788
-Where is this coming from?
-It's coming from my gut!
14
00:00:26,823 --> 00:00:28,489
Should we think
about fostering again?

[hopeful music playing]

00:00:37,934 --> 00:00:40,268
is all this really necessary?

I mean, it hasn't changed
since you were here last.
18
00:00:44,507 --> 00:00:46,107
Standard practice.
19
00:00:46,142 --> 00:00:47,742
I have to make sure
everything's in order
20
00:00:47,777 --> 00:00:49,544

that you gave us
the last time.
26
00:01:10,066 --> 00:01:12,033
We just kicked it up.
[chuckles]
27
00:01:16,239 --> 00:01:19,774
uh, well you can see
that we just put in
one bed this time.
28
00:01:19,809 --> 00:01:20,975
But we saved the other one
29
00:01:21,010 --> 00:01:22,760
in case
another child needs us.
30
00:01:23,646 --> 00:01:25,847

We're gonna paint.

Look, I know
y'all are good people.
32
00:01:30,153 --> 00:01:32,320
I saw how you took care
of the avila boys.
33
00:01:32,355 --> 00:01:33,821
But you won't know
the kid this time

until there's a need.

00:08:57,133 --> 00:08:59,767
So you not only got
dads on patrol,
177
00:08:59,802 --> 00:09:01,135
but you're running
for school board too?
178
00:09:01,187 --> 00:09:03,337
Sure am.
Whatever it takes, man.
179
00:09:03,372 --> 00:09:04,939
These schools need
some fixing up.
180
00:09:05,608 --> 00:09:07,474
Yeah well, I don't know why
181
00:09:07,510 --> 00:09:08,509
you have to debate
that sucker.
182
00:09:08,544 --> 00:09:10,093
He's just gonna make a scene.
183
00:09:10,112 --> 00:09:12,146
I mean, you can't reason
with these people.
184
00:09:12,181 --> 00:09:13,581
They got their own
set of facts.
185
00:09:13,616 --> 00:09:15,015
Oh, you're right.
You're right.
186
00:09:15,051 --> 00:09:16,784
But it's a part
of the election process.
187
00:09:17,853 --> 00:09:20,187
And the school board's got
some real power, man.
188
00:09:20,222 --> 00:09:21,455
Now look,
if I can get in there,
189
00:09:21,490 --> 00:09:24,124
then I won't have to do
dads on patrol.
190
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,827
I can be able to affect change
from the inside.
191
00:09:27,330 --> 00:09:28,412
We need more power.
192
00:09:29,081 --> 00:09:30,331
And I intend on getting it.
193
00:09:30,366 --> 00:09:32,633
[chuckling]
194
00:09:32,668 --> 00:09:33,934
anybody with any sense
will know that
195
00:09:33,970 --> 00:09:35,135
you the right man for the job.
196
00:09:35,171 --> 00:09:36,604
You care more about these kids
197
00:09:36,639 --> 00:09:38,005
than some of
their own folks do.
198
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:38,973
-[cashier] here you go.
-Thank you.
199
00:09:39,008 --> 00:09:40,708
Well, I appreciate you
for believing in me.
200
00:09:40,743 --> 00:09:43,627
Sandy wants me to pick up
some flyers to pass out
at the hospital.
201
00:09:43,646 --> 00:09:46,296
Well man, here you go.
How are you all settling in?
202
00:09:46,315 --> 00:09:49,984
I love her to the moon,
but I can't find
a thing anymore.
203
00:09:50,019 --> 00:09:51,885
[laughs] I remember
those days, man.
204
00:09:52,688 --> 00:09:54,822
Y'all are so used to
living alone.
205
00:09:54,857 --> 00:09:56,323
It's gonna take some time
getting used to it.
206
00:09:56,359 --> 00:10:01,028
But she rearranged
everything in the house.
207
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,029
[laughing]
208
00:10:02,064 --> 00:10:05,499
and if she didn't move it,
she threw it away.
209
00:10:05,534 --> 00:10:08,085
[both laughing]
210
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,821
oh man.
I love every second of it.
211
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:11,822
Uh-huh.
212
00:10:11,841 --> 00:10:14,174
You know,
we're the lucky ones.
213
00:10:15,678 --> 00:10:17,077
Brother, you ain't never lie.
214
00:10:23,953 --> 00:10:24,852
Never lie.
215
00:10:27,957 --> 00:10:29,089
Darla?
216
00:10:30,860 --> 00:10:31,692
[door closes]
217
00:10:36,232 --> 00:10:37,064
what's going on?
218
00:10:37,867 --> 00:10:38,699
Hey.
219
00:10:39,969 --> 00:10:43,270
-[sighs] is she asleep?
-Yeah.
220
00:10:44,273 --> 00:10:46,373
-How was your day?
-Nothing new.
221
00:10:47,643 --> 00:10:49,643
I stopped by nova's
to talk about aunt martha.
222
00:10:50,613 --> 00:10:52,413
She can't believe she's gone.
223
00:10:52,448 --> 00:10:55,883
Brought back memories
of my mom and my dad
224
00:10:56,919 --> 00:10:58,886
-and just how they were.
-Oh, yeah?
225
00:11:01,957 --> 00:11:02,790
Look, I don't want to fight.
226
00:11:03,893 --> 00:11:04,892
Neither do I.
227
00:11:05,995 --> 00:11:07,895
But I still disagree with you.
228
00:11:07,930 --> 00:11:09,063
And I think he needs to know.
229
00:11:09,965 --> 00:11:12,466
And I still disagree with you.
230
00:11:12,501 --> 00:11:15,402
But I'm gonna keep
trying to convince you
that he doesn't.
231
00:11:15,438 --> 00:11:17,154
[scoffs] that's fair.
232
00:11:20,443 --> 00:11:24,144
Actually, my campaign
is starting now.
233
00:11:25,781 --> 00:11:27,514
And I'm definitely
not playing fair.
234
00:11:29,952 --> 00:11:31,251
[soft music playing]
235
00:11:34,657 --> 00:11:36,924
-you rang?
-Blue?
236
00:11:36,959 --> 00:11:38,759
What were you doing
hiding in there, man?
237
00:11:38,794 --> 00:11:40,561
Come here. [grunts]
238
00:11:40,596 --> 00:11:43,163
-[laughs]
-are you happy to see me?
239
00:11:43,199 --> 00:11:44,932
[hums]
240
00:11:44,967 --> 00:11:46,967
[chuckling]
241
00:11:47,002 --> 00:11:48,635
I missed you so much, man.
242
00:11:49,472 --> 00:11:51,572
[blue] oh, I missed you too.
243
00:11:51,607 --> 00:11:53,440
You're definitely
not playing fair.
244
00:11:53,476 --> 00:11:54,875
Man, it's good
to see you, boy.
245
00:11:58,631 --> 00:11:59,980
So this is it.
246
00:12:00,015 --> 00:12:02,282
-What you think of
our new home, son?
-It's cool.
247
00:12:03,385 --> 00:12:04,952
-I like it a lot.
-You do?
248
00:12:05,955 --> 00:12:07,387
Even though it's smaller
than the farm?
249
00:12:07,423 --> 00:12:09,523
It's big enough for us.
250
00:12:09,558 --> 00:12:14,027
-Grandma's house is so big
I get lost in it sometimes.
-[chuckles]
251
00:12:14,063 --> 00:12:17,097
like, I'm on the second floor.
She's on the first floor.
252
00:12:17,133 --> 00:12:19,533
Granddad is in the office
above the--
253
00:12:19,568 --> 00:12:21,902
they have a three-car garage,
254
00:12:21,954 --> 00:12:23,403
but they only have two cars.
255
00:12:23,456 --> 00:12:25,622
You know what they say
about different strokes.
256
00:12:25,658 --> 00:12:27,074
Different strokes
for different folks.
257
00:12:27,910 --> 00:12:30,043
-[chuckling]
-[blue] right.
258
00:12:32,148 --> 00:12:33,330
What's this doing here?
259
00:12:36,302 --> 00:12:37,151
Reminding me of home.
260
00:12:38,087 --> 00:12:40,020
And you.
261
00:12:40,055 --> 00:12:41,555
You know, if you ever want
to talk to us, you can, right?
262
00:12:44,643 --> 00:12:46,527
Oh, can you measure me?
263
00:12:46,562 --> 00:12:48,896
-That's a good idea. Come on.

[phone vibrating]
285
00:13:40,115 --> 00:13:41,715
[sighs] sorry.
286
00:13:46,071 --> 00:13:47,120
[laughs]
287
00:13:48,657 --> 00:13:50,374
who has you smiling?
288
00:13:50,409 --> 00:13:53,276
I'm waiting on a call
from the studio museum.
289
00:13:53,295 --> 00:13:56,463
-[keke] mmm-hmm.
-I met a curator there
and sent some of my work.
290
00:13:56,498 --> 00:13:59,533
-So you loved it there?
-I did, yeah.
291
00:14:00,569 --> 00:14:04,705
New york was eye-opening,
you know?
292
00:14:04,740 --> 00:14:07,224
I mean, it's not like
I haven't been there before,
'cause I definitely have,
293
00:14:07,259 --> 00:14:10,644
but something
about this trip was just...
294
00:14:12,348 --> 00:14:13,647
I don't know.
It hit different.
295
00:14:14,583 --> 00:14:16,350
The vibe, the people.
296
00:14:17,403 --> 00:14:18,552
It kind of felt like home.
297
00:14:19,688 --> 00:14:20,988
Or what I want
home to feel like.
298
00:14:24,743 --> 00:14:26,159
Sounds like you have
something to say
299
00:14:26,195 --> 00:14:28,528
and the keke I know
don't bite her tongue, so...
300
00:14:28,581 --> 00:14:31,398
It's just this is what you do.
301
00:14:31,433 --> 00:14:34,635
Ever since I've met you,
you're always looking
for the next thing.
302
00:14:34,670 --> 00:14:36,870
No, it's not like that.
303
00:14:36,922 --> 00:14:38,755
I went to new york
because I was looking
304
00:14:38,791 --> 00:14:41,341
to secure an investment
for our collective here.
305
00:14:41,377 --> 00:14:43,827
Like, la is my parents' city.
306
00:14:43,846 --> 00:14:47,848
Like, I grew up there,
but it was their way of life.
307
00:14:47,883 --> 00:14:51,151
It's not necessarily
the way of life
I would choose for myself.
308
00:14:51,186 --> 00:14:53,921
And I took that trip to paris
for the summer
and that was cool,
309
00:14:53,956 --> 00:14:56,723
but again,
something was missing.
310
00:14:56,759 --> 00:15:02,362
And new orleans is beautiful
and comfortable
311
00:15:02,398 --> 00:15:04,064
and amazing and magical,
312
00:15:04,116 --> 00:15:07,634
but I'm trying to step
outside of my comfort zone.
313
00:15:09,071 --> 00:15:11,204
That's exactly what I felt
when I went to new york.
314
00:15:12,107 --> 00:15:13,373
Just in the best way.
315
00:15:15,461 --> 00:15:16,543
Then, that's where
you should be.
316
00:15:19,915 --> 00:15:20,964
I think so too.
317
00:15:22,551 --> 00:15:25,719
Plus, I can work
on the collective
from anywhere.
318
00:15:27,423 --> 00:15:28,839
Just dreaming.
319
00:15:30,259 --> 00:15:32,142
Dream away. [giggling]
320
00:15:35,064 --> 00:15:37,064
-[prosper] what do you think?
-I mean, I love it.
321
00:15:37,733 --> 00:15:39,733
Sandy has great taste.
322
00:15:39,768 --> 00:15:41,802
[prosper]
yeah, I'm still trying to
get used to it myself.
323
00:15:43,572 --> 00:15:46,606
See, I don't know
how you put up with
all my crap for so long.
324
00:15:46,642 --> 00:15:48,608
Well you know,
it has a certain charm.
325
00:15:50,112 --> 00:15:51,995
But what I can't believe
is that she let you keep
326
00:15:52,031 --> 00:15:53,647
that old raggedy chair
of yours.
327
00:15:53,682 --> 00:15:55,315
-Watch that!
-[billie wheezing]
328
00:15:55,351 --> 00:15:57,484
if this chair could talk,
it'd have stories.
329
00:15:57,519 --> 00:15:59,453
It ain't going nowhere
until I do.
330
00:16:00,622 --> 00:16:01,788
[billie] okay, well then,
do you know what?
331
00:16:01,824 --> 00:16:04,007
I hope it stays around
for years to come then.
332
00:16:04,043 --> 00:16:05,425
-[prosper] thank you.
-Okay.
333
00:16:05,461 --> 00:16:07,327
[both chuckle]
334
00:16:07,363 --> 00:16:12,248
oh, uh, now that dominic
is back over at nova's,
335
00:16:12,267 --> 00:16:14,134
you are welcome to stay here
if you want. No problem.
336
00:16:15,471 --> 00:16:17,587
Thank you, daddy,
but I'm moving back to chicago
337
00:16:17,606 --> 00:16:23,744
as soon as this whole
laundry land business is in
a better shape for the co-op.
338
00:16:23,779 --> 00:16:26,279
Shouldn't be too much longer.
Maybe a couple weeks.
339
00:16:26,315 --> 00:16:27,614
Mmm, sure you ready to go?
340
00:16:29,151 --> 00:16:30,033
I am.
341
00:16:30,986 --> 00:16:32,119
I mean, coming here has...
342
00:16:33,372 --> 00:16:34,871
...Has changed so much.
343
00:16:35,891 --> 00:16:37,724
Me and you being
most important.
344
00:16:39,061 --> 00:16:40,360
I feel the same.
345
00:16:40,396 --> 00:16:42,696
I mean, it really has
been wonderful, daddy.
346
00:16:42,731 --> 00:16:44,297
-I mean...
-Really.
347
00:16:44,333 --> 00:16:46,800
Yeah, well, I wouldn't
have met sandy
348
00:16:46,835 --> 00:16:48,702
if it hadn't been for you.
349
00:16:48,737 --> 00:16:50,370
-Meddling. [chuckling]
-I mean...
350
00:16:50,406 --> 00:16:52,039
Making me have a nurse.
351
00:16:52,074 --> 00:16:53,507
I mean, facts!
352
00:16:54,176 --> 00:16:55,675
[laughing]
353
00:16:59,214 --> 00:17:00,147
I'm gonna miss you.
354
00:17:07,356 --> 00:17:08,688
You know, we've been
through a lot.
355
00:17:11,693 --> 00:17:12,859
I'm gonna miss you,
too, daddy.
356
00:17:16,899 --> 00:17:20,700
His niece was teaching
your kids crt.
357
00:17:20,736 --> 00:17:22,536
-[crowd murmuring]
-I mean, he's not
even a parent.
358
00:17:22,571 --> 00:17:25,989
So now he's gonna be
in charge of brainwashing
your kids.
359
00:17:26,008 --> 00:17:27,290
[crowd applauding]
360
00:17:32,514 --> 00:17:34,381
well, unlike my opponent here
361
00:17:34,416 --> 00:17:36,332
who's just running
his mouth...
362
00:17:36,351 --> 00:17:37,717
[crowd chuckling]
363
00:17:39,354 --> 00:17:41,354
...I'm doing something to make
it better for your kids.
364
00:17:43,025 --> 00:17:44,758
I'm here for more than just
365
00:17:44,793 --> 00:17:46,426
a drop and pick a child up.
366
00:17:47,229 --> 00:17:49,863
I started dads on patrol
367
00:17:49,898 --> 00:17:51,098
to help all of you out.
368
00:17:52,468 --> 00:17:54,067
And I see your kids.
369
00:17:54,103 --> 00:17:55,202
They're struggling.
370
00:17:56,538 --> 00:17:57,771
Scared.
371
00:17:57,806 --> 00:18:00,107
Trying to make sense
of a world where they
have no control.
372
00:18:01,643 --> 00:18:03,243
So, I volunteer my time away
373
00:18:03,278 --> 00:18:05,045
from my businesses
in this community,
374
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,247
my own place, the real spot,
375
00:18:07,282 --> 00:18:08,849
my beautiful
wife's restaurant,
376
00:18:08,884 --> 00:18:10,684
vi's prized pies and diner.
377
00:18:10,719 --> 00:18:13,120
-[applause]
-that'll do it. Tell her!
378
00:18:13,155 --> 00:18:15,722
I volunteer my time
because I care.
379
00:18:16,892 --> 00:18:19,059
And contrary
to popular belief,
380
00:18:19,094 --> 00:18:21,027
caring is not just a domain
381
00:18:21,063 --> 00:18:22,696
of a biological parent,
382
00:18:22,731 --> 00:18:26,266
it's the domain
of every human being
383
00:18:26,301 --> 00:18:28,268
who wants to better
their community,
384
00:18:28,303 --> 00:18:29,552
our community.
385
00:18:29,571 --> 00:18:30,971
[applause]
386
00:18:31,006 --> 00:18:33,140
so, how are you gonna
educate our kids?
387
00:18:33,175 --> 00:18:35,308
[chuckling] you didn't
even finish high school.
388
00:18:35,944 --> 00:18:36,977
[crowd murmuring]
389
00:18:39,681 --> 00:18:40,647
all right, he's not lying.
390
00:18:42,484 --> 00:18:43,700
School wasn't easy for me.
391
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,786
Everything was okay
till I got to high school...
392
00:18:47,789 --> 00:18:48,755
...Then I fell behind...
393
00:18:50,259 --> 00:18:52,959
...And I was too ashamed
to ask for help...
394
00:18:54,429 --> 00:18:55,829
...And nobody noticed
I struggled.
395
00:18:56,932 --> 00:18:59,132
So, when my
mother got laid off...
396
00:19:00,269 --> 00:19:03,103
...I told her that
I would get a job.
397
00:19:03,138 --> 00:19:05,605
Now, she didn't know that
I was gonna be working
full-time,
398
00:19:05,641 --> 00:19:08,909
but when she found out,
boy, she was hotter than
fish grease.
399
00:19:08,944 --> 00:19:10,677
[laughing]
400
00:19:12,481 --> 00:19:15,248
so, by the time
graduation rolled around,
401
00:19:15,284 --> 00:19:17,117
nobody even noticed
I didn't even show up.
402
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,819
I fell through the cracks,
403
00:19:19,855 --> 00:19:21,788
and that's what I see
with these kids.
404
00:19:21,823 --> 00:19:24,991
They are falling through
the cracks just like me,
405
00:19:25,027 --> 00:19:26,726
and there's nobody
there to catch them.
406
00:19:29,031 --> 00:19:30,063
But me and my wife...
407
00:19:31,166 --> 00:19:32,048
...We wanna be there.
408
00:19:33,068 --> 00:19:36,770
We just found out
that we were approved
409
00:19:36,805 --> 00:19:39,839
to become foster parents.
410
00:19:39,875 --> 00:19:41,975
So we wanna help out
as many kids as needed.
411
00:19:42,010 --> 00:19:44,277
And that is why
412
00:19:44,313 --> 00:19:46,213
I am running
for the school board.
413
00:19:47,482 --> 00:19:49,449
I want to make a difference.
414
00:19:49,484 --> 00:19:50,600
Or at least try.
415
00:19:53,322 --> 00:19:56,072
So, thank you for considering
giving me your vote.
416
00:19:57,192 --> 00:19:58,692
My name is
hollywood desonier...
417
00:20:00,412 --> 00:20:02,395
...And to me,
all kids are a star.
418
00:20:02,431 --> 00:20:03,530
[applause]
419
00:20:09,571 --> 00:20:10,937
[cheering]
420
00:20:13,675 --> 00:20:14,874
[mouthing]
421
00:20:14,910 --> 00:20:16,576
[mouthing]
422
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,750
to wear your hard hat, blue.
Nothing's up yet.
423
00:20:23,785 --> 00:20:26,152
[blue] I like it. Makes me
feel in charge.
424
00:20:26,171 --> 00:20:27,504
Don't need no hat for that.
425
00:20:29,091 --> 00:20:31,007
That's where
the cane goes, right?
426
00:20:31,043 --> 00:20:33,159
-[ralph] it goes in on top.
-[darla] mmm-hmm.
427
00:20:33,178 --> 00:20:36,012
And then it gets chopped
up and turns into sugar.
428
00:20:36,048 --> 00:20:38,848
Then the juice is
extracted and boiled.
429
00:20:38,884 --> 00:20:41,885
I did a science fair project
on processing sugar.
430
00:20:41,937 --> 00:20:45,188
Most kids in d.C. Have no idea
where their food comes from.
431
00:20:46,358 --> 00:20:48,325
Spoken like a true bordelon.
432
00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:50,260
You know you got sugar
cane in your blood, right?
433
00:20:50,896 --> 00:20:51,995
Perfect amount.
434
00:20:52,030 --> 00:20:54,197
[blue] that's what I tell
my friends. I like farming.
435
00:20:54,232 --> 00:20:56,266
We have a garden at sidwell
436
00:20:56,301 --> 00:20:58,868
mrs. Obama started when sasha
and malia were there,
437
00:20:58,904 --> 00:21:01,538
but really small
compared to ours, pops.
438
00:21:04,276 --> 00:21:06,042
I'm gonna go check
out the part numbers.
439
00:21:07,879 --> 00:21:09,746
See, he's fine.
440
00:21:09,781 --> 00:21:11,047
When he's with us.
441
00:21:11,967 --> 00:21:13,300
I'm worried about
when he's away.
442
00:21:15,220 --> 00:21:16,503
You worry too much.
443
00:21:26,064 --> 00:21:27,797
Purple?
444
00:21:27,833 --> 00:21:29,566
Baby, what if the kid
don't even like purple?
445
00:21:29,601 --> 00:21:31,601
That is not plain old purple,
446
00:21:31,636 --> 00:21:33,703
that is electric violet.
447
00:21:33,739 --> 00:21:35,205
It's for the accent wall.
448
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,356
Well, it's a bold choice.
449
00:21:37,175 --> 00:21:38,441
Everybody loves violet.
450
00:21:39,845 --> 00:21:41,077
I know I do.
451
00:21:41,113 --> 00:21:42,145
[chuckling]
452
00:21:43,015 --> 00:21:44,314
oh, okay.
453
00:21:44,349 --> 00:21:46,983
You know,
I just wish I knew if,
454
00:21:47,019 --> 00:21:49,586
you know, we were preparing
for a girl or a boy
455
00:21:49,621 --> 00:21:51,254
or knew anything about them.
456
00:21:51,289 --> 00:21:53,990
In fact, baby, are they
gonna tell us
457
00:21:54,026 --> 00:21:56,393
why the child
is in foster care?
458
00:21:56,428 --> 00:21:57,694
You know?
459
00:21:57,729 --> 00:22:00,330
Are we gonna know
anything about what
they've been through?
460
00:22:00,365 --> 00:22:02,332
I don't know, baby.
461
00:22:02,367 --> 00:22:05,168
We're just gonna take it
one day at a time, okay?
462
00:22:06,805 --> 00:22:07,771
Well, I guess you're right.
463
00:22:07,806 --> 00:22:08,738
[chuckling]
464
00:22:08,774 --> 00:22:09,806
I hear you.
465
00:22:10,842 --> 00:22:13,610
Hollywood... [chuckling]
466
00:22:13,645 --> 00:22:16,446
-...I keep thinking about
you in that debate.
-[chuckling]
467
00:22:16,481 --> 00:22:19,449
that man did not
know what hit him.
468
00:22:19,484 --> 00:22:21,785
Ah, baby, I did my best.
469
00:22:21,820 --> 00:22:23,987
I just said what I felt
and just spoke the truth.
470
00:22:24,623 --> 00:22:25,789
Now we'll see what happens.
471
00:22:25,824 --> 00:22:28,658
Yeah, well, whatever happens,
I'm so proud of you.
472
00:22:28,693 --> 00:22:30,627
Baby, look around...
473
00:22:31,830 --> 00:22:33,329
...I'm proud of us.
474
00:22:35,667 --> 00:22:36,533
[chuckling]
475
00:22:52,684 --> 00:22:54,184
place is a time capsule.
476
00:22:54,236 --> 00:22:55,452
[dominic] did you spend
a lot of time here?
477
00:22:55,487 --> 00:22:57,987
[nova] I guess I was here
a lot when I was little,
478
00:22:58,023 --> 00:23:01,858
and, uh, I know this
may sound weird,
479
00:23:01,910 --> 00:23:04,477
but I dreamt about this
place my whole life.
480
00:23:04,496 --> 00:23:06,362
I wasn't always sure
if it was real
481
00:23:06,398 --> 00:23:08,164
or if I made it up, but...
482
00:23:09,334 --> 00:23:10,333
...It felt like home.
483
00:23:13,271 --> 00:23:16,239
I come from a long line
of women, powerful women.
484
00:23:16,274 --> 00:23:17,173
Mmm.
485
00:23:20,262 --> 00:23:21,711
I felt that in you
the minute I met you.
486
00:23:26,685 --> 00:23:29,152
Oh, she really put space
487
00:23:29,187 --> 00:23:30,753
between her and the rest
of the world.
488
00:23:31,890 --> 00:23:33,556
Well, it wasn't all by choice,
489
00:23:33,592 --> 00:23:36,309
uh, all the women
in my family have a gift.
490
00:23:37,028 --> 00:23:39,062
But her father
saw it as a curse
491
00:23:39,097 --> 00:23:40,196
and sent her away.
492
00:23:43,235 --> 00:23:44,484
Did she ever confront
him about it?
493
00:23:45,470 --> 00:23:46,836
No.
494
00:23:46,872 --> 00:23:48,705
He died when she was in haiti,
495
00:23:48,740 --> 00:23:50,406
but she said he visited
her in her dreams
496
00:23:51,126 --> 00:23:52,125
and they made peace.
497
00:23:54,813 --> 00:23:55,879
Does ernest come to you?
498
00:23:58,333 --> 00:23:59,165
He does.
499
00:24:00,118 --> 00:24:00,984
Sometimes.
500
00:24:02,137 --> 00:24:02,986
And my mother.
501
00:24:07,492 --> 00:24:08,324
See?
502
00:24:09,978 --> 00:24:11,461
She was writing her story.
503
00:24:12,797 --> 00:24:14,397
The story of this land...
504
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:16,232
...The house.
505
00:24:18,603 --> 00:24:20,003
This is trudy's room.
506
00:24:21,339 --> 00:24:22,238
That's my mother.
507
00:24:23,675 --> 00:24:26,409
Martha says, "trudy's room
gets the best light.
508
00:24:27,779 --> 00:24:29,445
You have to come
to this room...
509
00:24:30,448 --> 00:24:31,281
...When you're ready."
510
00:24:57,809 --> 00:24:58,641
I guess...
511
00:24:59,644 --> 00:25:00,543
...Guess I'm not ready.
512
00:25:13,708 --> 00:25:15,041
This collective is gonna work.
513
00:25:15,076 --> 00:25:17,794
It is, we're gonna
revolutionize web three.
514
00:25:17,829 --> 00:25:20,163
Shame it needs
revolutionizing.
515
00:25:20,198 --> 00:25:21,331
And it's just starting.
516
00:25:22,467 --> 00:25:24,133
But white supremacy
works fast.
517
00:25:24,169 --> 00:25:26,669
Well, we're gonna move faster.
518
00:25:26,705 --> 00:25:28,137
[chuckles]
519
00:25:29,591 --> 00:25:30,573
they emailed me.
520
00:25:31,810 --> 00:25:33,209
What was that?
521
00:25:33,245 --> 00:25:35,078
It's just one of the responses
I've been waiting on.
522
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:36,579
One that I really want.
523
00:25:38,817 --> 00:25:41,451
And it's the law enforcement
accountability project.
524
00:25:41,486 --> 00:25:43,319
They match artists
with projects
525
00:25:43,355 --> 00:25:44,887
that amplify
police aggression.
526
00:25:44,923 --> 00:25:46,689
That's perfect for you.
527
00:25:46,725 --> 00:25:47,624
I know.
528
00:25:47,659 --> 00:25:50,193
Um, what are we
waiting for? Move.
529
00:25:51,246 --> 00:25:52,061
[computer beep]
530
00:25:52,731 --> 00:25:55,298
"micah, I'm thrilled to share
531
00:25:55,333 --> 00:25:58,635
that on the merits of your
grassroot activism
532
00:25:58,670 --> 00:26:00,903
and your current art practice,
533
00:26:00,939 --> 00:26:03,506
we'd like to invite you
to accept the position
534
00:26:03,541 --> 00:26:05,508
of east coast
artist coordinator
535
00:26:05,543 --> 00:26:08,244
-for the law enforcement
accountability project."
-are you serious?
536
00:26:09,414 --> 00:26:11,047
-Micah!
-I got a job?
537
00:26:12,751 --> 00:26:14,017
I have a job!
538
00:26:14,052 --> 00:26:15,618
[laughing]
539
00:26:17,922 --> 00:26:19,155
a good job!
540
00:26:19,190 --> 00:26:20,790
-Yes!
-An important one.
541
00:26:22,027 --> 00:26:24,427
You did! And in new york.
542
00:26:28,199 --> 00:26:31,234
Remember prom night when we
were stuck in that hotel
543
00:26:31,269 --> 00:26:34,170
and everybody was talking
about their dream job?
544
00:26:34,205 --> 00:26:36,005
Yeah, I remember that.
545
00:26:36,041 --> 00:26:39,776
You said you would end
up in something "respectable"
546
00:26:39,811 --> 00:26:40,793
like a hedge fund.
547
00:26:40,829 --> 00:26:42,011
[chuckling]
548
00:26:42,047 --> 00:26:44,280
but you didn't.
549
00:26:46,318 --> 00:26:48,851
You blew off harvard
550
00:26:48,887 --> 00:26:51,254
and stayed here
because it was right for you.
551
00:26:52,657 --> 00:26:54,057
New york is right for you.
552
00:26:54,726 --> 00:26:56,559
You're gonna do big things.
553
00:26:56,594 --> 00:26:58,461
It's just a huge
decision, like, I gotta...
554
00:26:59,848 --> 00:27:01,597
...I can't rush into it,
I got school...
555
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,300
...Family,
you and the collective.
556
00:27:04,336 --> 00:27:05,468
Don't worry about us.
557
00:27:06,237 --> 00:27:07,170
We all here.
558
00:27:07,806 --> 00:27:09,639
I'll hold her down.
559
00:27:09,674 --> 00:27:12,975
A collective success
doesn't always have
to fall on one person.
560
00:27:13,745 --> 00:27:15,244
And you can do it
from new york.
561
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,246
My parents are gonna
freak out if I drop out.
562
00:27:18,199 --> 00:27:21,117
You're parents want
you to be happy.
563
00:27:21,152 --> 00:27:22,485
No, they want me
to make them happy.
564
00:27:24,622 --> 00:27:25,621
I don't believe that.
565
00:27:26,658 --> 00:27:28,358
My entire life they've
told me I can...
566
00:27:29,361 --> 00:27:32,328
...Do anything,
I can be anything,
567
00:27:32,364 --> 00:27:35,264
just within their
idea of success.
568
00:27:35,300 --> 00:27:37,033
Maybe you misread that.
569
00:27:38,103 --> 00:27:39,402
Either way, it's your life,
570
00:27:39,437 --> 00:27:42,472
and if you want it,
convince them.
571
00:27:45,110 --> 00:27:45,975
[chuckling]
572
00:27:53,201 --> 00:27:54,384
you know, I would have
been really lost...
573
00:27:56,054 --> 00:27:58,588
...When I came to new orleans
if I hadn't met you.
574
00:27:58,623 --> 00:28:01,290
Remember that when I need
a place to stay in new york.
575
00:28:01,326 --> 00:28:02,291
[laughing]
576
00:28:02,327 --> 00:28:03,626
I'm serious, I'm serious.
577
00:28:06,331 --> 00:28:07,930
I really came
into my own here,
578
00:28:07,966 --> 00:28:09,399
and you had so
much to do with that.
579
00:28:11,636 --> 00:28:14,303
It's like you are
new orleans to me.
580
00:28:41,232 --> 00:28:43,699
He used to put his hat
on my head so I couldn't
see anything.
581
00:28:44,919 --> 00:28:46,269
He did that to me
when I was little, too.
582
00:28:49,407 --> 00:28:50,573
I miss pops.
583
00:28:51,342 --> 00:28:52,375
[blue] I miss papa, too.
584
00:28:54,512 --> 00:28:56,379
Where do you think
we go when we die?
585
00:28:58,383 --> 00:28:59,465
That's a tough question.
586
00:29:01,252 --> 00:29:02,101
We live on.
587
00:29:02,971 --> 00:29:04,554
In people's hearts
that love us most.
588
00:29:05,940 --> 00:29:07,023
That's all we can do.
589
00:29:11,729 --> 00:29:12,695
[phone ringing]
590
00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:17,066
mr. Prosper.
591
00:29:19,304 --> 00:29:21,370
Wait, slow down, you said
cardale said what?
592
00:29:26,110 --> 00:29:28,211
What's going on, mr. Prosper?
593
00:29:28,246 --> 00:29:30,847
Never thought I'd be happy
to see someone get evicted,
594
00:29:30,882 --> 00:29:31,814
but he deserves it.
595
00:29:33,084 --> 00:29:34,717
Who deserves
something so horrible?
596
00:29:34,752 --> 00:29:36,385
[billie denton] landry.
597
00:29:36,421 --> 00:29:38,221
[sam landry] is this
necessary? Do you really
have to do this?
598
00:29:38,890 --> 00:29:39,922
Look, you know,
599
00:29:39,974 --> 00:29:41,540
you know this is all
just a big misunderstanding?
600
00:29:41,559 --> 00:29:42,892
Never thought
I'd see this day.
601
00:29:44,062 --> 00:29:45,428
Didn't come soon enough.
602
00:29:46,231 --> 00:29:47,897
He got away with so much.
603
00:29:48,566 --> 00:29:49,982
For way too long.
604
00:29:50,018 --> 00:29:51,934
My daddy would
love to see this.
605
00:29:51,970 --> 00:29:54,270
Hmm, yeah, well,
606
00:29:54,305 --> 00:29:56,205
he's looking down on it
right now and loving it.
607
00:29:56,241 --> 00:29:57,173
That's right.
608
00:29:57,208 --> 00:29:59,942
You know they're gonna
auction of his land.
609
00:29:59,978 --> 00:30:01,344
My land right
in the middle of it.
610
00:30:02,113 --> 00:30:02,945
Ralph...
611
00:30:03,948 --> 00:30:04,814
...We will get it back.
612
00:30:06,084 --> 00:30:07,116
Don't give up hope.
613
00:30:08,987 --> 00:30:09,952
Hey, landry!
614
00:30:12,357 --> 00:30:13,456
What are you doing?
615
00:30:13,491 --> 00:30:15,758
Want him to see who
exposed him to the usda.
616
00:30:18,096 --> 00:30:19,929
That was the borderlons
617
00:30:19,964 --> 00:30:21,881
and the black farmers
from st. Joe.
618
00:30:22,634 --> 00:30:24,000
We did that!
619
00:30:39,384 --> 00:30:41,450
[lady in background]
hi, dr. Barnes, how are you?
620
00:30:43,021 --> 00:30:44,487
[dr. Barnes in background]
thank you, thank you so much.
621
00:30:45,823 --> 00:30:46,956
Man of the hour.
622
00:30:47,492 --> 00:30:48,791
[laughing]
623
00:30:48,826 --> 00:30:49,825
how are you doing?
624
00:30:49,861 --> 00:30:52,662
Hey, new must be
wifi's girlfriend?
625
00:30:52,697 --> 00:30:54,030
Wifi?
626
00:30:54,065 --> 00:30:55,431
[dr. Barnes] whole time
we were in the dessert,
627
00:30:55,466 --> 00:30:58,534
all he's thinking about
is finding wifi so he can
call you.
628
00:30:58,570 --> 00:30:59,869
Oh!
629
00:30:59,904 --> 00:31:01,304
Hmm. [chuckling]
630
00:31:01,339 --> 00:31:03,439
giving away all my secrets?
631
00:31:03,474 --> 00:31:05,875
Wonderful to meet you,
miss bordelon.
632
00:31:05,910 --> 00:31:07,310
Thank you for hosting us.
633
00:31:07,345 --> 00:31:08,311
It's my pleasure.
634
00:31:08,346 --> 00:31:10,680
This is dr. Barnes,
he's our program chair.
635
00:31:10,715 --> 00:31:12,048
At least he is
for a few more months.
636
00:31:12,083 --> 00:31:13,983
He's one of the few
black archaeologists
637
00:31:14,018 --> 00:31:16,586
who chairs a university
program and is basically
my hero.
638
00:31:17,322 --> 00:31:18,254
[chuckling]
639
00:31:19,090 --> 00:31:20,556
something I wanna
talk to you about.
640
00:31:20,592 --> 00:31:21,857
Yeah, certainly.
641
00:31:21,893 --> 00:31:23,826
It's not public yet,
642
00:31:23,861 --> 00:31:26,979
but tulane university
643
00:31:26,998 --> 00:31:30,866
has been chosen to participate
in an international delegation
644
00:31:30,902 --> 00:31:33,736
for a landmark dig
645
00:31:33,771 --> 00:31:36,205
in bamako, mali.
646
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,008
Congratulations!
That is massive.
647
00:31:39,711 --> 00:31:40,876
I'd like you to lead it.
648
00:31:44,248 --> 00:31:45,514
[stuttering]
649
00:31:47,952 --> 00:31:50,019
uh, thank you,
dr. Barnes, I...
650
00:31:51,055 --> 00:31:52,555
...I, are you sure?
651
00:31:52,590 --> 00:31:53,856
I mean, this is your dream.
652
00:31:53,891 --> 00:31:55,725
Our dreams shine brighter
653
00:31:55,777 --> 00:31:58,427
when they're stepping
stones for others.
654
00:31:58,463 --> 00:32:00,596
It's your turn, young man.
655
00:32:02,100 --> 00:32:03,199
[stuttering]
656
00:32:06,104 --> 00:32:08,304
I... I... Thank you.
657
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:10,706
I don't know what to say.
658
00:32:11,743 --> 00:32:13,442
The dig will start
end of spring,
659
00:32:13,478 --> 00:32:16,379
16 months in a cradle
of civilization.
660
00:32:16,414 --> 00:32:17,380
You earned it.
661
00:32:18,216 --> 00:32:19,582
I can think of no one better
662
00:32:19,617 --> 00:32:22,218
to represent me
and our university.
663
00:32:23,588 --> 00:32:24,754
Think about that.
664
00:32:35,333 --> 00:32:37,400
I don't wanna be away
from you that long again.
665
00:32:38,102 --> 00:32:40,102
Not so soon, not like this.
666
00:32:40,138 --> 00:32:41,070
But...
667
00:32:42,473 --> 00:32:45,574
...This is everything
you've wanted.
668
00:32:45,610 --> 00:32:48,544
Everything you've been working
toward your whole career.
669
00:32:48,579 --> 00:32:49,945
This is it!
670
00:32:49,981 --> 00:32:53,249
Yeah, I know, but I don't
wanna do it without you,
though, nova.
671
00:32:53,284 --> 00:32:54,283
I don't, like...
672
00:32:56,871 --> 00:32:58,170
Would you come with me?
673
00:32:58,206 --> 00:32:59,088
Would you...
674
00:33:00,658 --> 00:33:02,008
Would you move
to africa with me?
675
00:33:02,043 --> 00:33:03,426
[stuttering] whatever this is,
676
00:33:03,461 --> 00:33:06,178
I wanna experience it together
with my love, with my...
677
00:33:07,165 --> 00:33:08,164
...My best friend.
678
00:33:08,199 --> 00:33:10,533
You're one of my favorite
people in the world.
679
00:33:11,869 --> 00:33:13,202
You're one of my
favorites, too.
680
00:33:14,972 --> 00:33:18,007
But dominic, this is your
destiny not mine.
681
00:33:18,042 --> 00:33:20,009
This is your path
and you have to follow it.
682
00:33:20,044 --> 00:33:21,677
My path leads here.
683
00:33:33,157 --> 00:33:34,623
You changed my life.
684
00:33:36,294 --> 00:33:37,193
I feel the same.
685
00:33:53,611 --> 00:33:54,710
[message alert]
686
00:34:04,722 --> 00:34:06,021
[phone ringing]
687
00:34:06,057 --> 00:34:07,123
[laughing]
688
00:34:07,558 --> 00:34:09,024
very funny.
689
00:34:09,060 --> 00:34:12,061
[billie] you okay?
I know breakups are hard.
690
00:34:12,113 --> 00:34:15,097
I'm just writing, um...
691
00:34:15,133 --> 00:34:19,535
Been inspired lately
to tackle a new subject.
692
00:34:19,570 --> 00:34:21,737
[billie] well, you sound like
you're in a good place.
693
00:34:21,773 --> 00:34:27,376
Listen, if you need to cry,
or scream, or go get a drink,
694
00:34:27,411 --> 00:34:30,646
I'm here for you.
Don't be too strong
to fall apart, okay?
695
00:34:31,783 --> 00:34:33,115
I hope you don't mind
me saying that.
696
00:34:33,151 --> 00:34:35,918
No, no, that's fine. That's...
697
00:34:35,953 --> 00:34:38,654
I'm just following where
the universe is taking
me. [chuckles]
698
00:34:41,592 --> 00:34:45,427
local business man sam landry,
behind on loan payments,
699
00:34:45,463 --> 00:34:48,764
was accused of bribing
local usda officials.
700
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,867
The land seizure is set
for auction this week.
701
00:34:51,903 --> 00:34:55,771
One of the largest
asset seizures
in louisiana history...
702
00:34:55,807 --> 00:34:57,606
[parthena] I wouldn't
wish that on my worst enemy.
703
00:34:59,510 --> 00:35:01,277
All that land.
704
00:35:01,312 --> 00:35:03,546
[billie] most of it's stolen
from black farmers.
705
00:35:03,581 --> 00:35:06,048
It's the only piece
that matters to me.
706
00:35:06,083 --> 00:35:08,584
Might as well just
auction off my daddy.
707
00:35:08,619 --> 00:35:11,287
Look, we have nova's
advance money
708
00:35:11,322 --> 00:35:14,072
and everyone in the co-op
is willing to pitch in.
709
00:35:14,091 --> 00:35:15,424
Same as they did for parthena.
710
00:35:15,459 --> 00:35:18,561
Yeah, well, all our money
together couldn't
help out parthena.
711
00:35:18,596 --> 00:35:20,729
She got less land
than landry got.
712
00:35:20,765 --> 00:35:23,098
Look, all these companies
and people,
713
00:35:23,134 --> 00:35:25,167
they coming out
the wood works
for this property.
714
00:35:25,203 --> 00:35:29,171
Uh, I don't wanna cause
an alarm, but I just heard
715
00:35:29,207 --> 00:35:31,006
from hugh over at
the hardware store.
716
00:35:32,059 --> 00:35:34,426
Sam's not going down
without a fight.
717
00:35:34,445 --> 00:35:37,196
Now he's calling in old favors
718
00:35:37,231 --> 00:35:39,698
and his friends
are talking about
showing up at the auction.
719
00:35:39,734 --> 00:35:42,601
Win or lose, we have to try.
720
00:35:42,620 --> 00:35:45,187
All his friends
got deep pockets.
721
00:35:45,223 --> 00:35:49,391
They have deep pockets
but I know folks here
with bigger hearts.
722
00:35:50,878 --> 00:35:52,995
But hey, y'all. Listen up.
723
00:35:54,332 --> 00:35:57,600
Now, y'all seen the news,
you know what's going on.
724
00:35:57,635 --> 00:36:01,337
All right? Now we
have to band together
to help ralph angel.
725
00:36:01,372 --> 00:36:04,006
-[woman] mmm-hmm.
-[prosper] he and his family,
they've come through for us.
726
00:36:04,041 --> 00:36:06,508
Now it's time for us
to come through for them.
727
00:36:06,544 --> 00:36:09,812
All right, now they're
gonna auction off
his land in two days.
728
00:36:09,847 --> 00:36:11,347
So, every little bit helps.
729
00:36:12,683 --> 00:36:14,550
Okay? Please.
730
00:36:14,585 --> 00:36:18,420
[indistinct murmuring]
731
00:36:25,229 --> 00:36:27,663
if it comes down to a fight,
we're right there with you.
732
00:36:28,900 --> 00:36:30,266
Thank you, mr. Prosper.
733
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,007
Like you always told me,
one step at a time.
734
00:36:41,379 --> 00:36:44,213
So, you know,
I was in new york
735
00:36:44,248 --> 00:36:48,951
and I met with an investor,
grandma knows her,
but this is not about her.
736
00:36:49,553 --> 00:36:50,853
I just...
737
00:36:52,523 --> 00:36:53,772
[charley] what's
going on, micah?
738
00:36:53,808 --> 00:36:56,341
Mom, I got a job offer
while I was in new york.
739
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:00,279
-So, plan is to drop out
of xavier...
-[charley] what?
740
00:37:00,314 --> 00:37:03,666
...And start
a new chapter there.
741
00:37:03,701 --> 00:37:05,768
[charley sighs] micah,
you're starting to make
742
00:37:05,803 --> 00:37:07,937
choices that you'll
have to live with
for the rest of your life.
743
00:37:07,972 --> 00:37:09,705
-Are you, are you even
thinking about that?
-Mom, mom, mom.
744
00:37:09,740 --> 00:37:10,956
You don't get it.
745
00:37:10,992 --> 00:37:15,327
I have never felt more sure
about anything, ever.
746
00:37:17,448 --> 00:37:18,914
[charley] I don't know
what to say.
747
00:37:18,966 --> 00:37:23,285
This is the part
where you say,
"congratulations, micah."
748
00:37:24,171 --> 00:37:25,754
"I knew you could do it."
749
00:37:25,806 --> 00:37:27,723
[charley] I just
don't know anymore.
750
00:37:27,758 --> 00:37:29,458
I just thought you'd
be happy for me.
751
00:37:30,661 --> 00:37:32,194
Everyone else is.
752
00:37:32,229 --> 00:37:35,898
This is a great opportunity
for me to explore,
to move forward in my life.
753
00:37:35,933 --> 00:37:38,067
[charley] think about
your future.
754
00:37:38,102 --> 00:37:39,935
You could have talked
to us first before you went--
755
00:37:39,987 --> 00:37:41,403
I'm not asking
for your permission.
756
00:37:43,407 --> 00:37:44,340
I'm an adult.
757
00:37:46,277 --> 00:37:48,226
You just insist on
treating me like a kid.
758
00:37:48,245 --> 00:37:49,712
[charley] then stop
acting like one!
759
00:37:49,747 --> 00:37:52,114
I'm not act--
you're not even
listening to me.
760
00:37:52,149 --> 00:37:55,250
Like, I'm not going to
new york to just live there.
761
00:37:55,286 --> 00:37:57,736
This is exactly what I've been
working for.
762
00:37:57,755 --> 00:38:00,155
This is exactly what
I wanna do with
the rest of my life.
763
00:38:00,191 --> 00:38:03,125
Make art, make community.
764
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,462
Have a job, I'm gonna have
access to so many people
765
00:38:06,497 --> 00:38:09,331
who actually see me
for who I am.
766
00:38:11,218 --> 00:38:12,401
I have to be there.
767
00:38:12,436 --> 00:38:14,636
[charley] well, we'll talk
more later. I gotta go, bye.
768
00:38:30,821 --> 00:38:33,322
Now, this room
is better, right?
769
00:38:33,374 --> 00:38:36,992
I mean, it's closer.
That way, if they need us,
we can hear 'em.
770
00:38:37,044 --> 00:38:39,862
And I tell you, baby, this,
this electric violet,
771
00:38:39,897 --> 00:38:42,164
it's the right choice,
baby, you nailed it.
772
00:38:42,199 --> 00:38:43,065
You think they'll like it?
773
00:38:43,634 --> 00:38:45,000
We can always repaint.
774
00:38:46,203 --> 00:38:49,138
I thought we would have
gotten the call by now.
775
00:38:49,173 --> 00:38:51,173
Do you think that
there's a problem?
776
00:38:51,225 --> 00:38:54,143
I think our baby will
come right on time.
777
00:38:54,678 --> 00:38:55,644
I don't know.
778
00:38:56,514 --> 00:38:57,579
[sighs]
779
00:38:58,933 --> 00:39:00,749
I mean, maybe our time
has passed.
780
00:39:01,419 --> 00:39:02,618
You know?
781
00:39:02,653 --> 00:39:05,454
Maybe this, this isn't
the right thing to do.
782
00:39:05,489 --> 00:39:07,806
I am not a young woman.
783
00:39:07,825 --> 00:39:10,909
You, violet bordelon,
are timeless.
784
00:39:10,945 --> 00:39:12,778
-I'm serious.
-And so am I.
785
00:39:15,433 --> 00:39:18,200
You can imagine me,
a baby and me?
786
00:39:18,235 --> 00:39:20,536
With parents that
are barely micah's age?
787
00:39:20,571 --> 00:39:23,756
I could see any child
being lucky calling you mama.
788
00:39:23,791 --> 00:39:26,658
Do you think belinda
has changed her mind?
789
00:39:26,677 --> 00:39:28,210
Just need to be patient, baby.
790
00:39:28,846 --> 00:39:29,945
Just a little bit.
791
00:39:37,221 --> 00:39:39,021
[nova gasps] miss pearl.
792
00:39:43,561 --> 00:39:45,761
[pearl] so pleased
that you came back.
793
00:39:47,131 --> 00:39:49,198
Say prayers for
miss martha's journey.
794
00:39:49,733 --> 00:39:51,400
She was a good woman.
795
00:39:52,436 --> 00:39:54,403
She deserves this.
796
00:39:59,210 --> 00:40:01,376
Ladies, shall we begin?
797
00:40:02,246 --> 00:40:03,579
-Yes.
-[woman murmuring]
798
00:40:16,293 --> 00:40:21,130
we ask in the name
of our beloved
martha lavoisier.
799
00:40:22,833 --> 00:40:26,101
That as her soul
separates from her body,
800
00:40:26,137 --> 00:40:29,004
she be granted peace.
801
00:40:29,940 --> 00:40:32,274
May her homegoing
path be clear
802
00:40:32,309 --> 00:40:36,912
and her journey be filled
with euphoric joy.
803
00:40:36,947 --> 00:40:41,250
May our hearts
be strengthened.
804
00:40:41,285 --> 00:40:45,754
We know and believe
that while absent in mind,
she is present in spirit
805
00:40:45,789 --> 00:40:50,926
and in spirit she is mighty.
