[Micah] I want to create
something for us

in Web3 definitively black.
4
00:00:05,381 --> 00:00:07,589
I'm gonna really need to delve
into your creative portfolio.
5
00:00:07,591 --> 00:00:08,674
I'm ready for that.
6
00:00:08,676 --> 00:00:11,427
Aunt Martha crossed over
last month.

00:00:11,429 --> 00:00:13,178
[Nova] I should have been
more in tune

00:00:13,255 --> 00:00:15,305
with everything
on my mother's side
of the family.
9
00:00:15,307 --> 00:00:17,891
I've been on an island
loving you.
10
00:00:17,893 --> 00:00:20,477
-And you've been
struggling to love me.
-Dominic.
11
00:00:20,479 --> 00:00:22,521
I don't want him
being surprised
if he finds out about Chase.
12
00:00:22,523 --> 00:00:24,565
This is so unnecessary.
13
00:00:24,567 --> 00:00:26,567
-Where is this coming from?
-It's coming from my gut!
14
00:00:26,569 --> 00:00:28,402
Should we think
about fostering again?
15
00:00:29,905 --> 00:00:31,613
[hopeful music playing]
16
00:00:37,580 --> 00:00:40,122
Is all this really necessary?
17
00:00:40,124 --> 00:00:43,709
I mean, it hasn't changed
since you were here last.
18
00:00:44,253 --> 00:00:45,878
Standard practice.
19
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,504
I have to make sure
everything's in order
20
00:00:47,548 --> 00:00:49,465
before we assign you a child.
21
00:00:51,469 --> 00:00:53,427

about the sherry
laying around anymore.
25
00:01:07,443 --> 00:01:09,693
We... We took the notes
that you gave us
the last time.
26
00:01:09,695 --> 00:01:12,029
We just kicked it up.
[chuckles]
27
00:01:16,077 --> 00:01:19,536
Uh, well you can see
that we just put in
one bed this time.
28
00:01:19,538 --> 00:01:20,746
But we saved the other one
29
00:01:20,748 --> 00:01:22,706
in case
another child needs us.
30
00:01:23,417 --> 00:01:25,793
And um, we...
We're gonna paint.
31
00:01:27,505 --> 00:01:30,005
Look, I know
y'all are good people.
32
00:01:30,091 --> 00:01:32,132
I saw how you took care
of the Avila boys.
33
00:01:32,209 --> 00:01:33,634
But you won't know
the kid this time
34
00:01:33,710 --> 00:01:35,302
and there is a process.
35
00:01:35,304 --> 00:01:38,597
Look Miss Carmichael,
we respect that.
36
00:01:39,558 --> 00:01:40,933
But this right here.
37
00:01:42,061 --> 00:01:44,353
This is the most important
thing to us right now.
38
00:01:46,023 --> 00:01:47,940
Okay, I'm approving you.
39
00:01:48,567 --> 00:01:50,016
You are now officially
on the roster
40
00:01:50,018 --> 00:01:52,444
as permanent foster parents
in the state of Louisiana.
41
00:01:52,446 --> 00:01:55,614
I'll turn in my report
and you'll be notified
about assignments.
42
00:01:55,616 --> 00:01:58,075
Could be as early as 72 hours

as 90 days or more.

46
00:02:04,458 --> 00:02:07,501
Okay, now do you know
if we'll get a girl or a boy?

00:02:07,503 --> 00:02:10,337
[chuckles] I won't know
until there's a need.

You know,
it doesn't even matter.
49

whoever you bring over here.
-Absolutely.

00:08:56,945 --> 00:08:59,538
So you not only got
Dads on Patrol,
177
00:08:59,540 --> 00:09:00,997
but you're running
for school board too?
178
00:09:01,041 --> 00:09:03,208
Sure am.
Whatever it takes, man.
179
00:09:03,285 --> 00:09:04,960
These schools need
some fixing up.
180
00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:07,337
Yeah well, I don't know why
181
00:09:07,339 --> 00:09:08,421
you have to debate
that sucker.
182
00:09:08,423 --> 00:09:09,923
He's just gonna make a scene.
183
00:09:09,925 --> 00:09:12,008
I mean, you can't reason
with these people.
184
00:09:12,052 --> 00:09:13,385
They got their own
set of facts.
185
00:09:13,387 --> 00:09:14,803
Oh, you're right.
You're right.
186
00:09:14,805 --> 00:09:16,805
But it's a part
of the election process.
187
00:09:17,683 --> 00:09:19,975
And the school board's got
some real power, man.
188
00:09:19,977 --> 00:09:21,226
Now look,
if I can get in there,
189
00:09:21,303 --> 00:09:23,979
then I won't have to do
Dads on Patrol.
190
00:09:23,981 --> 00:09:26,815
I can be able to affect change
from the inside.
191
00:09:27,150 --> 00:09:28,400
We need more power.
192
00:09:28,944 --> 00:09:30,110
And I intend on getting it.
193
00:09:30,112 --> 00:09:32,445
[chuckling]
194
00:09:32,447 --> 00:09:33,780
Anybody with any sense
will know that
195
00:09:33,782 --> 00:09:34,906
you the right man for the job.
196
00:09:34,908 --> 00:09:36,408
You care more about these kids
197
00:09:36,410 --> 00:09:37,600
than some of
their own folks do.
198
00:09:37,602 --> 00:09:38,760
-[cashier] Here you go.
-Thank you.
199
00:09:38,837 --> 00:09:40,561
Well, I appreciate you
for believing in me.
200
00:09:40,563 --> 00:09:43,290
Sandy wants me to pick up
some flyers to pass out
at the hospital.
201
00:09:43,292 --> 00:09:46,042
Well man, here you go.
How are you all settling in?
202
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:49,796
I love her to the moon,
but I can't find
a thing anymore.
203
00:09:49,831 --> 00:09:51,840
[laughs] I remember
those days, man.
204
00:09:52,426 --> 00:09:54,593
Y'all are so used to
living alone.
205
00:09:54,595 --> 00:09:56,261
It's gonna take some time
getting used to it.
206
00:09:56,263 --> 00:10:00,807
But she rearranged
everything in the house.
207
00:10:00,809 --> 00:10:01,975
[laughing]
208
00:10:01,977 --> 00:10:05,270
And if she didn't move it,
she threw it away.
209
00:10:05,347 --> 00:10:07,981
[both laughing]
210
00:10:07,983 --> 00:10:10,567
Oh man.
I love every second of it.
211
00:10:10,611 --> 00:10:11,610
Uh-huh.
212
00:10:11,686 --> 00:10:14,112
You know,
we're the lucky ones.
213
00:10:15,532 --> 00:10:17,032
Brother, you ain't never lie.
214
00:10:23,874 --> 00:10:24,831
Never lie.
215
00:10:27,836 --> 00:10:29,044
Darla?
216
00:10:30,756 --> 00:10:31,630
[door closes]
217
00:10:36,094 --> 00:10:37,010
What's going on?
218
00:10:37,638 --> 00:10:38,695
Hey.
219
00:10:39,723 --> 00:10:43,224
-[sighs] Is she asleep?
-Yeah.
220
00:10:43,977 --> 00:10:46,311
-How was your day?
-Nothing new.
221
00:10:47,397 --> 00:10:49,564
I stopped by Nova's
to talk about Aunt Martha.
222
00:10:50,317 --> 00:10:52,108
She can't believe she's gone.
223
00:10:52,110 --> 00:10:55,820
Brought back memories
of my mom and my dad
224
00:10:56,657 --> 00:10:58,823
-and just how they were.
-Oh, yeah?
225
00:11:01,870 --> 00:11:02,744
Look, I don't want to fight.
226
00:11:03,705 --> 00:11:04,829
Neither do I.
227
00:11:05,791 --> 00:11:07,707
But I still disagree with you.
228
00:11:07,784 --> 00:11:09,042
And I think he needs to know.
229
00:11:09,628 --> 00:11:12,295
And I still disagree with you.
230
00:11:12,297 --> 00:11:15,256
But I'm gonna keep
trying to convince you
that he doesn't.
231
00:11:15,333 --> 00:11:17,092
[scoffs] That's fair.
232
00:11:20,222 --> 00:11:24,099
Actually, my campaign
is starting now.
233
00:11:25,602 --> 00:11:27,435
And I'm definitely
not playing fair.
234
00:11:29,815 --> 00:11:31,231
[soft music playing]
235
00:11:34,361 --> 00:11:36,736
-You rang?
-Blue?
236
00:11:36,813 --> 00:11:38,530
What were you doing
hiding in there, man?
237
00:11:38,532 --> 00:11:40,448
Come here. [grunts]
238
00:11:40,450 --> 00:11:43,034
-[laughs]
-Are you happy to see me?
239
00:11:43,036 --> 00:11:44,744
[hums]
240
00:11:44,821 --> 00:11:46,746
[chuckling]
241
00:11:46,748 --> 00:11:48,498
I missed you so much, man.
242
00:11:49,209 --> 00:11:51,334
[Blue] Oh, I missed you too.
243
00:11:51,336 --> 00:11:53,294
You're definitely
not playing fair.
244
00:11:53,371 --> 00:11:54,796
Man, it's good
to see you, boy.
245
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,260
So this is it.
246
00:12:00,262 --> 00:12:02,721
-What you think of
our new home, son?
-It's cool.
247
00:12:03,598 --> 00:12:05,348
-I like it a lot.
-You do?
248
00:12:06,184 --> 00:12:07,475
Even though it's smaller
than the farm?
249
00:12:07,477 --> 00:12:09,644
It's big enough for us.
250
00:12:09,646 --> 00:12:14,232
-Grandma's house is so big
I get lost in it sometimes.
-[chuckles]
251
00:12:14,234 --> 00:12:17,360
Like, I'm on the second floor.
She's on the first floor.
252
00:12:17,362 --> 00:12:19,779
Granddad is in the office
above the--
253
00:12:19,781 --> 00:12:22,073
They have a three-car garage,
254
00:12:22,075 --> 00:12:23,616
but they only have two cars.
255
00:12:23,618 --> 00:12:25,827
You know what they say
about different strokes.
256
00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:27,454
Different strokes
for different folks.
257
00:12:28,165 --> 00:12:30,415
-[chuckling]
-[Blue] Right.
258
00:12:32,377 --> 00:12:33,710
What's this doing here?
259
00:12:36,590 --> 00:12:37,505
Reminding me of home.
260
00:12:38,175 --> 00:12:40,258
And you.
261
00:12:40,260 --> 00:12:41,926
You know, if you ever want
to talk to us, you can, right?
262
00:12:44,723 --> 00:12:46,723
Oh, can you measure me?
263
00:12:46,725 --> 00:12:49,184

-[chuckles]

[phone vibrating]
285
00:13:40,445 --> 00:13:42,111
[sighs] Sorry.
286
00:13:46,284 --> 00:13:47,492
[laughs]
287
00:13:48,954 --> 00:13:50,370
Who has you smiling?
288
00:13:50,372 --> 00:13:53,414
I'm waiting on a call
from the studio museum.
289
00:13:53,416 --> 00:13:56,751
-[Keke] Mmm-hmm.
-I met a curator there
and sent some of my work.
290
00:13:56,753 --> 00:14:00,004
-So you loved it there?
-I did, yeah.
291
00:14:00,882 --> 00:14:04,968
New York was eye-opening,
you know?
292
00:14:04,970 --> 00:14:07,428
I mean, it's not like
I haven't been there before,
'cause I definitely have,
293
00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:11,057
but something
about this trip was just...
294
00:14:12,602 --> 00:14:14,060
I don't know.
It hit different.
295
00:14:14,896 --> 00:14:16,729
The vibe, the people.
296
00:14:17,774 --> 00:14:18,940
It kind of felt like home.
297
00:14:19,901 --> 00:14:21,401
Or what I want
home to feel like.
298
00:14:24,823 --> 00:14:26,406
Sounds like you have
something to say
299
00:14:26,482 --> 00:14:28,575
and the Keke I know
don't bite her tongue, so...
300
00:14:28,577 --> 00:14:31,661
It's just this is what you do.
301
00:14:31,663 --> 00:14:34,831
Ever since I've met you,
you're always looking
for the next thing.
302
00:14:34,833 --> 00:14:37,000
No, it's not like that.
303
00:14:37,043 --> 00:14:38,960
I went to New York
because I was looking
304
00:14:38,962 --> 00:14:41,504
to secure an investment
for our collective here.
305
00:14:41,506 --> 00:14:43,882
Like, LA is my parents' city.
306
00:14:43,884 --> 00:14:47,886
Like, I grew up there,
but it was their way of life.
307
00:14:47,888 --> 00:14:51,347
It's not necessarily
the way of life
I would choose for myself.
308
00:14:51,349 --> 00:14:54,183
And I took that trip to Paris
for the summer
and that was cool,
309
00:14:54,185 --> 00:14:57,020
but again,
something was missing.
310
00:14:57,063 --> 00:15:02,734
And New Orleans is beautiful
and comfortable
311
00:15:02,736 --> 00:15:04,235
and amazing and magical,
312
00:15:04,237 --> 00:15:08,031
but I'm trying to step
outside of my comfort zone.
313
00:15:09,409 --> 00:15:11,618
That's exactly what I felt
when I went to New York.
314
00:15:12,329 --> 00:15:13,828
Just in the best way.
315
00:15:15,749 --> 00:15:16,956
Then, that's where
you should be.
316
00:15:20,045 --> 00:15:21,494
I think so too.
317
00:15:22,839 --> 00:15:26,132
Plus, I can work
on the collective
from anywhere.
318
00:15:27,677 --> 00:15:29,218
Just dreaming.
319
00:15:30,347 --> 00:15:32,513
Dream away. [giggling]
320
00:15:35,352 --> 00:15:37,435
-[Prosper] What do you think?
-I mean, I love it.
321
00:15:37,812 --> 00:15:39,896
Sandy has great taste.
322
00:15:39,898 --> 00:15:42,231
[Prosper]
Yeah, I'm still trying to
get used to it myself.
323
00:15:43,985 --> 00:15:46,736
See, I don't know
how you put up with
all my crap for so long.
324
00:15:46,738 --> 00:15:49,030
Well you know,
it has a certain charm.
325
00:15:50,325 --> 00:15:52,200
But what I can't believe
is that she let you keep
326
00:15:52,276 --> 00:15:53,826
that old raggedy chair
of yours.
327
00:15:53,828 --> 00:15:55,662
-Watch that!
-[Billie wheezing]
328
00:15:55,738 --> 00:15:57,705
If this chair could talk,
it'd have stories.
329
00:15:57,707 --> 00:15:59,916
It ain't going nowhere
until I do.
330
00:16:00,752 --> 00:16:02,109
[Billie] Okay, well then,
do you know what?
331
00:16:02,111 --> 00:16:04,379
I hope it stays around
for years to come then.
332
00:16:04,381 --> 00:16:05,630
-[Prosper] Thank you.
-Okay.
333
00:16:05,707 --> 00:16:07,548
[both chuckle]
334
00:16:07,625 --> 00:16:12,679
Oh, uh, now that Dominic
is back over at Nova's,
335
00:16:12,714 --> 00:16:14,555
you are welcome to stay here
if you want. No problem.
336
00:16:15,684 --> 00:16:17,809
Thank you, daddy,
but I'm moving back to Chicago
337
00:16:17,811 --> 00:16:24,023
as soon as this whole
Laundry land business is in
a better shape for the co-op.
338
00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:26,651
Shouldn't be too much longer.
Maybe a couple weeks.
339
00:16:26,653 --> 00:16:28,027
Mmm, sure you ready to go?
340
00:16:29,406 --> 00:16:30,405
I am.
341
00:16:31,282 --> 00:16:32,532
I mean, coming here has...
342
00:16:33,535 --> 00:16:35,243
...has changed so much.
343
00:16:36,204 --> 00:16:38,121
Me and you being
most important.
344
00:16:39,207 --> 00:16:40,623
I feel the same.
345
00:16:40,667 --> 00:16:42,917
I mean, it really has
been wonderful, Daddy.
346
00:16:42,919 --> 00:16:44,585
-I mean...
-Really.
347
00:16:44,587 --> 00:16:47,046
Yeah, well, I wouldn't
have met Sandy
348
00:16:47,048 --> 00:16:48,965
if it hadn't been for you.
349
00:16:48,967 --> 00:16:50,675
-Meddling. [chuckling]
-I mean...
350
00:16:50,752 --> 00:16:52,343
Making me have a nurse.
351
00:16:52,345 --> 00:16:53,928
I mean, facts!
352
00:16:54,431 --> 00:16:56,097
[laughing]
353
00:16:59,436 --> 00:17:00,601
I'm gonna miss you.
354
00:17:07,610 --> 00:17:09,110
You know, we've been
through a lot.
355
00:17:11,906 --> 00:17:13,322
I'm gonna miss you,
too, Daddy.
356
00:17:17,078 --> 00:17:20,788
His niece was teaching
your kids CRT.
357
00:17:20,790 --> 00:17:22,874
-[crowd murmuring]
-I mean, he's not
even a parent.
358
00:17:22,950 --> 00:17:26,377
So now he's gonna be
in charge of brainwashing
your kids.
359
00:17:26,379 --> 00:17:27,712
[crowd applauding]
360
00:17:32,761 --> 00:17:34,719
Well, unlike my opponent here
361
00:17:34,721 --> 00:17:36,429
who's just running
his mouth...
362
00:17:36,431 --> 00:17:38,097
[crowd chuckling]
363
00:17:39,601 --> 00:17:41,726
...I'm doing something to make
it better for your kids.
364
00:17:43,271 --> 00:17:45,021
I'm here for more than just
365
00:17:45,065 --> 00:17:46,773
a drop and pick a child up.
366
00:17:47,484 --> 00:17:50,151
I started Dads On Patrol
367
00:17:50,228 --> 00:17:51,527
to help all of you out.
368
00:17:52,739 --> 00:17:54,405
And I see your kids.
369
00:17:54,482 --> 00:17:55,656
They're struggling.
370
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,301
Scared.
371
00:17:58,303 --> 00:18:00,536
Trying to make sense
of a world where they
have no control.
372
00:18:01,915 --> 00:18:03,581
So, I volunteer my time away
373
00:18:03,583 --> 00:18:05,333
from my businesses
in this community,
374
00:18:05,335 --> 00:18:07,543
my own place, the Real Spot,
375
00:18:07,545 --> 00:18:09,087
my beautiful
wife's restaurant,
376
00:18:09,089 --> 00:18:11,005
Vi's Prized Pies and Diner.
377
00:18:11,007 --> 00:18:13,382
-[applause]
-That'll do it. Tell her!
378
00:18:13,426 --> 00:18:16,135
I volunteer my time
because I care.
379
00:18:17,180 --> 00:18:19,472
And contrary
to popular belief,
380
00:18:19,474 --> 00:18:21,265
caring is not just a domain
381
00:18:21,342 --> 00:18:22,934
of a biological parent,
382
00:18:22,936 --> 00:18:26,604
it's the domain
of every human being
383
00:18:26,606 --> 00:18:28,648
who wants to better
their community,
384
00:18:28,650 --> 00:18:29,732
our community.
385
00:18:29,776 --> 00:18:31,275
[applause]
386
00:18:31,277 --> 00:18:33,486
So, how are you gonna
educate our kids?
387
00:18:33,563 --> 00:18:35,696
[chuckling] You didn't
even finish high school.
388
00:18:36,199 --> 00:18:37,406
[crowd murmuring]
389
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:41,035
All right, he's not lying.
390
00:18:42,664 --> 00:18:44,122
School wasn't easy for me.
391
00:18:45,166 --> 00:18:47,208
Everything was okay
till I got to high school...
392
00:18:48,169 --> 00:18:49,368
...then I fell behind...
393
00:18:50,463 --> 00:18:53,339
...and I was too ashamed
to ask for help...
394
00:18:54,717 --> 00:18:56,300
...and nobody noticed
I struggled.
395
00:18:57,220 --> 00:18:59,595
So, when my
mother got laid off...
396
00:19:00,598 --> 00:19:03,266
...I told her that
I would get a job.
397
00:19:03,309 --> 00:19:06,018
Now, she didn't know that
I was gonna be working
full-time,
398
00:19:06,095 --> 00:19:09,147
but when she found out,
boy, she was hotter than
fish grease.
399
00:19:09,223 --> 00:19:11,107
[laughing]
400
00:19:12,902 --> 00:19:15,570
So, by the time
graduation rolled around,
401
00:19:15,572 --> 00:19:17,530
nobody even noticed
I didn't even show up.
402
00:19:18,533 --> 00:19:20,074
I fell through the cracks,
403
00:19:20,151 --> 00:19:21,993
and that's what I see
with these kids.
404
00:19:21,995 --> 00:19:25,288
They are falling through
the cracks just like me,
405
00:19:25,290 --> 00:19:27,165
and there's nobody
there to catch them.
406
00:19:29,335 --> 00:19:30,501
But me and my wife...
407
00:19:31,379 --> 00:19:32,545
...we wanna be there.
408
00:19:33,381 --> 00:19:37,133
We just found out
that we were approved
409
00:19:37,135 --> 00:19:40,178
to become foster parents.
410
00:19:40,254 --> 00:19:42,221
So we wanna help out
as many kids as needed.
411
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:44,557
And that is why
412
00:19:44,559 --> 00:19:46,601
I am running
for the school board.
413
00:19:47,812 --> 00:19:49,729
I want to make a difference.
414
00:19:49,764 --> 00:19:51,171
Or at least try.
415
00:19:53,693 --> 00:19:56,444
So, thank you for considering
giving me your vote.
416
00:19:57,530 --> 00:19:59,113
My name is
Hollywood Desonier...
417
00:20:00,742 --> 00:20:02,742
...and to me,
all kids are a star.
418
00:20:02,744 --> 00:20:03,951
[applause]
419
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:11,292
[cheering]
420
00:20:13,963 --> 00:20:14,921
[mouthing]
421
00:20:14,997 --> 00:20:16,964
[mouthing]
422
00:20:22,472 --> 00:20:24,263
[Darla] You don't need
to wear your hard hat, Blue.
Nothing's up yet.
423
00:20:24,265 --> 00:20:26,641
[Blue] I like it. Makes me
feel in charge.
424
00:20:26,717 --> 00:20:28,226
Don't need no hat for that.
425
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,437
That's where
the cane goes, right?
426
00:20:31,439 --> 00:20:33,606
-[Ralph] It goes in on top.
-[Darla] Mmm-hmm.
427
00:20:33,683 --> 00:20:36,484
And then it gets chopped
up and turns into sugar.
428
00:20:36,486 --> 00:20:39,195
Then the juice is
extracted and boiled.
429
00:20:39,197 --> 00:20:42,406
I did a science fair project
on processing sugar.
430
00:20:42,483 --> 00:20:45,868
Most kids in D.C. have no idea
where their food comes from.
431
00:20:46,788 --> 00:20:48,913
Spoken like a true Bordelon.
432
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:50,998
You know you got sugar
cane in your blood, right?
433
00:20:51,167 --> 00:20:52,583
Perfect amount.
434
00:20:52,660 --> 00:20:54,669
[Blue] That's what I tell
my friends. I like farming.
435
00:20:54,671 --> 00:20:56,754
We have a garden at Sidwell
436
00:20:56,756 --> 00:20:59,382
Mrs. Obama started when Sasha
and Malia were there,
437
00:20:59,384 --> 00:21:02,260
but really small
compared to ours, Pops.
438
00:21:04,931 --> 00:21:06,764
I'm gonna go check
out the part numbers.
439
00:21:08,518 --> 00:21:10,268
See, he's fine.
440
00:21:10,344 --> 00:21:11,769
When he's with us.
441
00:21:12,563 --> 00:21:14,021
I'm worried about
when he's away.
442
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:17,191
You worry too much.
443
00:21:26,661 --> 00:21:28,369
Purple?
444
00:21:28,371 --> 00:21:30,162
Baby, what if the kid
don't even like purple?
445
00:21:30,239 --> 00:21:32,164
That is not plain old purple,
446
00:21:32,166 --> 00:21:34,292
that is electric violet.
447
00:21:34,294 --> 00:21:35,793
It's for the accent wall.
448
00:21:35,795 --> 00:21:37,044
Well, it's a bold choice.
449
00:21:37,797 --> 00:21:39,130
Everybody loves violet.
450
00:21:40,425 --> 00:21:41,716
I know I do.
451
00:21:41,718 --> 00:21:42,800
[chuckling]
452
00:21:43,511 --> 00:21:44,760
Oh, okay.
453
00:21:44,762 --> 00:21:47,513
You know,
I just wish I knew if,
454
00:21:47,515 --> 00:21:50,099
you know, we were preparing
for a girl or a boy
455
00:21:50,101 --> 00:21:51,809
or knew anything about them.
456
00:21:51,811 --> 00:21:54,687
In fact, baby, are they
gonna tell us
457
00:21:54,764 --> 00:21:56,647
why the child
is in foster care?
458
00:21:56,649 --> 00:21:58,316
You know?
459
00:21:58,318 --> 00:22:00,818
Are we gonna know
anything about what
they've been through?
460
00:22:00,895 --> 00:22:02,945
I don't know, baby.
461
00:22:02,989 --> 00:22:05,906
We're just gonna take it
one day at a time, okay?
462
00:22:07,493 --> 00:22:08,409
Well, I guess you're right.
463
00:22:08,411 --> 00:22:09,327
[chuckling]
464
00:22:09,403 --> 00:22:10,494
I hear you.
465
00:22:11,497 --> 00:22:14,123
Hollywood... [chuckling]
466
00:22:14,125 --> 00:22:17,043
-...I keep thinking about
you in that debate.
-[chuckling]
467
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,920
That man did not
know what hit him.
468
00:22:19,997 --> 00:22:22,381
Ah, baby, I did my best.
469
00:22:22,383 --> 00:22:24,717
I just said what I felt
and just spoke the truth.
470
00:22:25,011 --> 00:22:26,418
Now we'll see what happens.
471
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:29,263
Yeah, well, whatever happens,
I'm so proud of you.
472
00:22:29,340 --> 00:22:31,307
Baby, look around...
473
00:22:32,435 --> 00:22:34,060
...I'm proud of us.
474
00:22:36,272 --> 00:22:37,229
[chuckling]
475
00:22:53,164 --> 00:22:54,705
Place is a time capsule.
476
00:22:54,707 --> 00:22:56,040
[Dominic] Did you spend
a lot of time here?
477
00:22:56,042 --> 00:22:58,501
[Nova] I guess I was here
a lot when I was little,
478
00:22:58,544 --> 00:23:02,421
and, uh, I know this
may sound weird,
479
00:23:02,423 --> 00:23:05,091
but I dreamt about this
place my whole life.
480
00:23:05,093 --> 00:23:06,967
I wasn't always sure
if it was real
481
00:23:06,969 --> 00:23:08,928
or if I made it up, but...
482
00:23:09,806 --> 00:23:11,204
...it felt like home.
483
00:23:13,976 --> 00:23:16,894
I come from a long line
of women, powerful women.
484
00:23:16,896 --> 00:23:18,120
Mmm.
485
00:23:20,858 --> 00:23:22,400
I felt that in you
the minute I met you.
486
00:23:27,198 --> 00:23:29,740
Oh, she really put space
487
00:23:29,742 --> 00:23:31,450
between her and the rest
of the world.
488
00:23:32,370 --> 00:23:34,078
Well, it wasn't all by choice,
489
00:23:34,155 --> 00:23:36,997
uh, all the women
in my family have a gift.
490
00:23:37,708 --> 00:23:39,583
But her father
saw it as a curse
491
00:23:39,585 --> 00:23:40,918
and sent her away.
492
00:23:43,881 --> 00:23:45,131
Did she ever confront
him about it?
493
00:23:46,008 --> 00:23:47,299
No.
494
00:23:47,301 --> 00:23:49,343
He died when she was in Haiti,
495
00:23:49,420 --> 00:23:51,137
but she said he visited
her in her dreams
496
00:23:51,764 --> 00:23:52,888
and they made peace.
497
00:23:55,476 --> 00:23:56,600
Does Ernest come to you?
498
00:23:58,980 --> 00:23:59,895
He does.
499
00:24:00,773 --> 00:24:01,730
Sometimes.
500
00:24:02,817 --> 00:24:03,691
And my mother.
501
00:24:08,072 --> 00:24:09,029
See?
502
00:24:10,575 --> 00:24:12,199
She was writing her story.
503
00:24:13,411 --> 00:24:15,119
The story of this land...
504
00:24:15,997 --> 00:24:16,996
...the house.
505
00:24:19,208 --> 00:24:20,708
This is Trudy's room.
506
00:24:21,836 --> 00:24:23,185
That's my mother.
507
00:24:24,213 --> 00:24:27,131
Martha says, "Trudy's room
gets the best light.
508
00:24:28,384 --> 00:24:30,134
You have to come
to this room...
509
00:24:31,095 --> 00:24:32,011
...when you're ready."
510
00:24:58,414 --> 00:24:59,413
I guess...
511
00:25:00,249 --> 00:25:01,332
...guess I'm not ready.
512
00:25:14,597 --> 00:25:15,930
This collective is gonna work.
513
00:25:15,932 --> 00:25:18,766
It is, we're gonna
revolutionize web three.
514
00:25:18,768 --> 00:25:21,060
Shame it needs
revolutionizing.
515
00:25:21,136 --> 00:25:22,436
And it's just starting.
516
00:25:23,397 --> 00:25:25,147
But white supremacy
works fast.
517
00:25:25,149 --> 00:25:27,691
Well, we're gonna move faster.
518
00:25:27,693 --> 00:25:29,193
[chuckles]
519
00:25:30,613 --> 00:25:31,695
They emailed me.
520
00:25:32,657 --> 00:25:34,198
What was that?
521
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,158
It's just one of the responses
I've been waiting on.
522
00:25:36,494 --> 00:25:37,943
One that I really want.
523
00:25:39,747 --> 00:25:42,414
And it's the law enforcement
accountability project.
524
00:25:42,416 --> 00:25:44,291
They match artists
with projects
525
00:25:44,293 --> 00:25:45,960
that amplify
police aggression.
526
00:25:45,962 --> 00:25:47,628
That's perfect for you.
527
00:25:47,705 --> 00:25:48,771
I know.
528
00:25:48,773 --> 00:25:51,298
Um, what are we
waiting for? Move.
529
00:25:52,176 --> 00:25:53,217
[computer beep]
530
00:25:53,636 --> 00:25:56,262
"Micah, I'm thrilled to share
531
00:25:56,264 --> 00:25:59,515
that on the merits of your
grassroot activism
532
00:25:59,517 --> 00:26:01,850
and your current art practice,
533
00:26:01,852 --> 00:26:04,270
we'd like to invite you
to accept the position
534
00:26:04,346 --> 00:26:06,480
of East Coast
Artist Coordinator
535
00:26:06,557 --> 00:26:09,358
-for the law enforcement
accountability project."
-Are you serious?
536
00:26:10,403 --> 00:26:12,152
-Micah!
-I got a job?
537
00:26:13,823 --> 00:26:15,030
I have a job!
538
00:26:15,032 --> 00:26:16,699
[laughing]
539
00:26:18,911 --> 00:26:20,119
A good job!
540
00:26:20,195 --> 00:26:21,912
-Yes!
-An important one.
541
00:26:22,915 --> 00:26:25,499
You did! And in New York.
542
00:26:29,046 --> 00:26:32,172
Remember prom night when we
were stuck in that hotel
543
00:26:32,174 --> 00:26:35,050
and everybody was talking
about their dream job?
544
00:26:35,094 --> 00:26:37,011
Yeah, I remember that.
545
00:26:37,013 --> 00:26:40,806
You said you would end
up in something "respectable"
546
00:26:40,808 --> 00:26:41,765
like a hedge fund.
547
00:26:41,767 --> 00:26:42,975
[chuckling]
548
00:26:42,977 --> 00:26:45,394
But you didn't.
549
00:26:47,189 --> 00:26:49,898
You blew off Harvard
550
00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:52,401
and stayed here
because it was right for you.
551
00:26:53,654 --> 00:26:55,195
New York is right for you.
552
00:26:55,656 --> 00:26:57,489
You're gonna do big things.
553
00:26:57,491 --> 00:26:59,617
It's just a huge
decision, like, I gotta...
554
00:27:00,786 --> 00:27:02,703
...I can't rush into it,
I got school...
555
00:27:03,581 --> 00:27:05,331
...family,
you and the collective.
556
00:27:05,333 --> 00:27:06,624
Don't worry about us.
557
00:27:07,209 --> 00:27:08,292
We all here.
558
00:27:08,919 --> 00:27:10,628
I'll hold her down.
559
00:27:10,630 --> 00:27:14,131
A collective success
doesn't always have
to fall on one person.
560
00:27:14,634 --> 00:27:16,175
And you can do it
from New York.
561
00:27:16,251 --> 00:27:18,344
My parents are gonna
freak out if I drop out.
562
00:27:19,096 --> 00:27:22,097
You're parents want
you to be happy.
563
00:27:22,099 --> 00:27:23,599
No, they want me
to make them happy.
564
00:27:25,478 --> 00:27:26,727
I don't believe that.
565
00:27:27,605 --> 00:27:29,438
My entire life they've
told me I can...
566
00:27:30,274 --> 00:27:33,359
...do anything,
I can be anything,
567
00:27:33,361 --> 00:27:36,236
just within their
idea of success.
568
00:27:36,313 --> 00:27:38,113
Maybe you misread that.
569
00:27:39,033 --> 00:27:40,407
Either way, it's your life,
570
00:27:40,409 --> 00:27:43,535
and if you want it,
convince them.
571
00:27:45,998 --> 00:27:47,239
[chuckling]
572
00:27:54,048 --> 00:27:55,506
You know, I would have
been really lost...
573
00:27:56,967 --> 00:27:59,677
...when I came to New Orleans
if I hadn't met you.
574
00:27:59,753 --> 00:28:02,262
Remember that when I need
a place to stay in New York.
575
00:28:02,264 --> 00:28:03,222
[laughing]
576
00:28:03,224 --> 00:28:04,765
I'm serious, I'm serious.
577
00:28:07,228 --> 00:28:08,894
I really came
into my own here,
578
00:28:08,896 --> 00:28:10,521
and you had so
much to do with that.
579
00:28:12,441 --> 00:28:15,401
It's like you are
New Orleans to me.
580
00:28:42,096 --> 00:28:44,805
He used to put his hat
on my head so I couldn't
see anything.
581
00:28:46,016 --> 00:28:47,391
He did that to me
when I was little, too.
582
00:28:50,396 --> 00:28:51,729
I miss Pops.
583
00:28:52,314 --> 00:28:53,522
[Blue] I miss Papa, too.
584
00:28:55,526 --> 00:28:57,526
Where do you think
we go when we die?
585
00:28:59,488 --> 00:29:00,612
That's a tough question.
586
00:29:02,199 --> 00:29:03,298
We live on.
587
00:29:03,993 --> 00:29:05,701
In people's hearts
that love us most.
588
00:29:06,996 --> 00:29:08,162
That's all we can do.
589
00:29:12,793 --> 00:29:13,792
[phone ringing]
590
00:29:17,006 --> 00:29:18,279
Mr. Prosper.
591
00:29:20,259 --> 00:29:22,509
Wait, slow down, you said
Cardale said what?
592
00:29:26,974 --> 00:29:29,183
What's going on, Mr. Prosper?
593
00:29:29,185 --> 00:29:31,894
Never thought I'd be happy
to see someone get evicted,
594
00:29:31,896 --> 00:29:32,936
but he deserves it.
595
00:29:34,064 --> 00:29:35,689
Who deserves
something so horrible?
596
00:29:35,766 --> 00:29:37,441
[Billie Denton] Landry.
597
00:29:37,443 --> 00:29:39,318
[Sam Landry] Is this
necessary? Do you really
have to do this?
598
00:29:39,904 --> 00:29:41,336
Look, you know,
599
00:29:41,338 --> 00:29:42,488
you know this is all
just a big misunderstanding?
600
00:29:42,564 --> 00:29:44,031
Never thought
I'd see this day.
601
00:29:44,992 --> 00:29:46,492
Didn't come soon enough.
602
00:29:47,203 --> 00:29:48,994
He got away with so much.
603
00:29:49,497 --> 00:29:50,996
For way too long.
604
00:29:50,998 --> 00:29:52,790
My daddy would
love to see this.
605
00:29:52,792 --> 00:29:55,292
Hmm, yeah, well,
606
00:29:55,369 --> 00:29:56,877
he's looking down on it
right now and loving it.
607
00:29:56,879 --> 00:29:58,186
That's right.
608
00:29:58,188 --> 00:30:00,964
You know they're gonna
auction of his land.
609
00:30:00,966 --> 00:30:02,424
My land right
in the middle of it.
610
00:30:03,093 --> 00:30:04,051
Ralph...
611
00:30:05,054 --> 00:30:05,928
...we will get it back.
612
00:30:07,056 --> 00:30:08,222
Don't give up hope.
613
00:30:09,975 --> 00:30:11,058
Hey, Landry!
614
00:30:13,229 --> 00:30:14,536
What are you doing?
615
00:30:14,538 --> 00:30:16,814
Want him to see who
exposed him to the USDA.
616
00:30:18,943 --> 00:30:20,943
That was the Borderlons
617
00:30:20,945 --> 00:30:22,945
and the black farmers
from St. Joe.
618
00:30:23,447 --> 00:30:25,072
We did that!
619
00:30:40,130 --> 00:30:42,506
[lady in background]
Hi, Dr. Barnes, how are you?
620
00:30:43,968 --> 00:30:45,592
[Dr. Barnes in background]
Thank you, thank you so much.
621
00:30:46,887 --> 00:30:48,095
Man of the hour.
622
00:30:48,514 --> 00:30:49,847
[laughing]
623
00:30:49,849 --> 00:30:50,889
How are you doing?
624
00:30:50,891 --> 00:30:53,642
Hey, new must be
Wifi's girlfriend?
625
00:30:53,644 --> 00:30:55,077
Wifi?
626
00:30:55,079 --> 00:30:56,669
[Dr. Barnes] Whole time
we were in the dessert,
627
00:30:56,671 --> 00:30:59,523
all he's thinking about
is finding wifi so he can
call you.
628
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:00,816
Oh!
629
00:31:00,818 --> 00:31:02,401
Hmm. [chuckling]
630
00:31:02,403 --> 00:31:04,361
Giving away all my secrets?
631
00:31:04,363 --> 00:31:06,864
Wonderful to meet you,
Miss Bordelon.
632
00:31:06,866 --> 00:31:07,948
Thank you for hosting us.
633
00:31:07,950 --> 00:31:09,199
It's my pleasure.
634
00:31:09,201 --> 00:31:11,535
This is Dr. Barnes,
he's our program chair.
635
00:31:11,537 --> 00:31:12,786
At least he is
for a few more months.
636
00:31:12,788 --> 00:31:14,997
He's one of the few
Black archaeologists
637
00:31:14,999 --> 00:31:17,666
who chairs a university
program and is basically
my hero.
638
00:31:18,294 --> 00:31:19,359
[chuckling]
639
00:31:20,045 --> 00:31:21,503
Something I wanna
talk to you about.
640
00:31:21,547 --> 00:31:22,880
Yeah, certainly.
641
00:31:22,882 --> 00:31:24,590
It's not public yet,
642
00:31:24,592 --> 00:31:27,926
but Tulane University
643
00:31:27,928 --> 00:31:31,847
has been chosen to participate
in an international delegation
644
00:31:31,849 --> 00:31:34,683
for a landmark dig
645
00:31:34,685 --> 00:31:37,144
in Bamako, Mali.
646
00:31:37,220 --> 00:31:40,063
Congratulations!
That is massive.
647
00:31:40,691 --> 00:31:41,940
I'd like you to lead it.
648
00:31:45,154 --> 00:31:46,612
[stuttering]
649
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:51,116
Uh, thank you,
Dr. Barnes, I...
650
00:31:51,994 --> 00:31:53,535
...I, are you sure?
651
00:31:53,537 --> 00:31:54,786
I mean, this is your dream.
652
00:31:54,788 --> 00:31:56,705
Our dreams shine brighter
653
00:31:56,749 --> 00:31:59,458
when they're stepping
stones for others.
654
00:31:59,460 --> 00:32:01,710
It's your turn, young man.
655
00:32:03,088 --> 00:32:04,296
[stuttering]
656
00:32:07,092 --> 00:32:09,426
I... I... Thank you.
657
00:32:10,137 --> 00:32:11,803
I don't know what to say.
658
00:32:12,598 --> 00:32:14,431
The dig will start
end of spring,
659
00:32:14,433 --> 00:32:17,309
16 months in a cradle
of civilization.
660
00:32:17,386 --> 00:32:18,435
You earned it.
661
00:32:19,104 --> 00:32:20,562
I can think of no one better
662
00:32:20,564 --> 00:32:23,315
to represent me
and our university.
663
00:32:24,443 --> 00:32:25,817
Think about that.
664
00:32:36,330 --> 00:32:38,455
I don't wanna be away
from you that long again.
665
00:32:39,083 --> 00:32:40,958
Not so soon, not like this.
666
00:32:41,034 --> 00:32:42,125
But...
667
00:32:43,212 --> 00:32:46,630
...this is everything
you've wanted.
668
00:32:46,632 --> 00:32:49,216
Everything you've been working
toward your whole career.
669
00:32:49,218 --> 00:32:50,968
This is it!
670
00:32:51,044 --> 00:32:54,221
Yeah, I know, but I don't
wanna do it without you,
though, Nova.
671
00:32:54,297 --> 00:32:55,430
I don't, like...
672
00:32:57,893 --> 00:32:59,101
Would you come with me?
673
00:32:59,144 --> 00:33:00,227
Would you...
674
00:33:01,605 --> 00:33:02,813
Would you move
to Africa with me?
675
00:33:02,815 --> 00:33:04,398
[stuttering] Whatever this is,
676
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,234
I wanna experience it together
with my love, with my...
677
00:33:07,987 --> 00:33:09,302
...my best friend.
678
00:33:09,379 --> 00:33:11,613
You're one of my favorite
people in the world.
679
00:33:12,825 --> 00:33:14,324
You're one of my
favorites, too.
680
00:33:15,869 --> 00:33:18,996
But Dominic, this is your
destiny not mine.
681
00:33:18,998 --> 00:33:20,998
This is your path
and you have to follow it.
682
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,791
My path leads here.
683
00:33:34,096 --> 00:33:35,721
You changed my life.
684
00:33:37,266 --> 00:33:38,265
I feel the same.
685
00:33:56,785 --> 00:33:57,993
[message alert]
686
00:34:07,921 --> 00:34:09,212

687

[laughing]
688
00:34:10,549 --> 00:34:12,132
Very funny.
689
00:34:12,134 --> 00:34:15,135
[Billie] You okay?
I know breakups are hard.
690
00:34:15,137 --> 00:34:18,013
I'm just writing, um...
691
00:34:18,057 --> 00:34:22,434
Been inspired lately
to tackle a new subject.
692
00:34:22,436 --> 00:34:24,603
[Billie] Well, you sound lik
you're in a good place.
693
00:34:24,605 --> 00:34:30,358
Listen, if you need to cry,
or scream, or go get a drink
694
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,862
I'm here for you.
Don't be too strong
to fall apart, okay?
695
00:34:34,865 --> 00:34:36,323
I hope you don't mind
me saying that.
696
00:34:36,408 --> 00:34:38,784
No, no, that's fine. That's...
697
00:34:38,860 --> 00:34:41,953
I'm just following where
the universe is taking
me. [chuckles]
698
00:34:44,625 --> 00:34:48,710
Local business man Sam Landr
behind on loan payments,
699
00:34:48,712 --> 00:34:51,880
was accused of bribing
local USDA officials.

00:34:51,882 --> 00:34:54,883
The land seizure is set
for auction this week.
701
00:34:54,927 --> 00:34:58,970
One of the largest
asset seizures
in Louisiana history...
702
00:34:58,972 --> 00:35:00,889
[Parthena] I wouldn't
wish that on my worst enemy.
703
00:35:02,518 --> 00:35:04,392
All that land.
704
00:35:04,436 --> 00:35:06,603
[Billie] Most of it's stolen
from black farmers.
705
00:35:06,605 --> 00:35:09,189
It's the only piece
that matters to me.
706
00:35:09,191 --> 00:35:11,566
Might as well just
auction off my daddy.
707
00:35:11,610 --> 00:35:14,361
Look, we have Nova's
advance money
708
00:35:14,437 --> 00:35:17,280
and everyone in the co-op
is willing to pitch in.
709
00:35:17,282 --> 00:35:19,007
Same as they did for Parthena.
710
00:35:19,009 --> 00:35:21,618
Yeah, well, all our money
together couldn't
help out Parthena.
711
00:35:21,620 --> 00:35:23,703
She got less land
than Landry got.
712
00:35:23,705 --> 00:35:26,081
Look, all these companies
and people,
713
00:35:26,125 --> 00:35:28,208
they coming out
the wood works
for this property.
714
00:35:28,210 --> 00:35:32,212
Uh, I don't wanna cause
an alarm, but I just heard
715
00:35:32,214 --> 00:35:34,214
from Hugh over at
the hardware store.
716
00:35:35,134 --> 00:35:37,592
Sam's not going down
without a fight.
717
00:35:37,636 --> 00:35:40,262
Now he's calling in old favors
718
00:35:40,264 --> 00:35:42,806
and his friends
are talking about
showing up at the auction.
719
00:35:42,808 --> 00:35:45,809
Win or lose, we have to try.
720
00:35:45,811 --> 00:35:48,353
All his friends
got deep pockets.
721
00:35:48,355 --> 00:35:52,691
They have deep pockets
but I know folks here
with bigger hearts.
722
00:35:54,069 --> 00:35:56,278
But hey, y'all. Listen up.
723
00:35:57,406 --> 00:36:00,490
Now, y'all seen the news,
you know what's going on.
724
00:36:00,492 --> 00:36:04,369
All right? Now we
have to band together
to help Ralph Angel.
725
00:36:04,371 --> 00:36:06,955
-[woman] Mmm-hmm.
-[Prosper] He and his family,
they've come through for us.
726
00:36:06,957 --> 00:36:09,624
Now it's time for us
to come through for them.
727
00:36:09,626 --> 00:36:13,003
All right, now they're
gonna auction off
his land in two days.
728
00:36:13,005 --> 00:36:14,629
So, every little bit helps.
729
00:36:15,841 --> 00:36:17,549
Okay? Please.
730
00:36:17,551 --> 00:36:21,678
[indistinct murmuring]
731
00:36:28,353 --> 00:36:30,896
If it comes down to a fight,
we're right there with you.
732
00:36:31,857 --> 00:36:33,523
Thank you, Mr. Prosper.
733
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,323
Like you always told me,
one step at a time.
734
00:36:44,328 --> 00:36:47,454
So, you know,
I was in New York
735
00:36:47,456 --> 00:36:52,209
and I met with an investor,
Grandma knows her,
but this is not about her.
736
00:36:52,586 --> 00:36:54,127
I just...
737
00:36:55,672 --> 00:36:56,955
[Charley] What's
going on, Micah?
738
00:36:56,957 --> 00:36:59,549
Mom, I got a job offer
while I was in New York.
739
00:36:59,551 --> 00:37:03,428
-So, plan is to drop out
of Xavier...
-[Charley] What?
740
00:37:03,505 --> 00:37:06,681
...and start
a new chapter there.
741
00:37:06,683 --> 00:37:08,749
[Charley sighs] Micah,
you're starting to make
742
00:37:08,751 --> 00:37:11,102
choices that you'll
have to live with
for the rest of your life.
743
00:37:11,104 --> 00:37:12,604
-Are you, are you even
thinking about that?
-Mom, Mom, Mom.
744
00:37:12,606 --> 00:37:14,046
You don't get it.
745
00:37:14,048 --> 00:37:18,568
I have never felt more sure
about anything, ever.
746
00:37:20,405 --> 00:37:22,096
[Charley] I don't know
what to say.
747
00:37:22,098 --> 00:37:26,493
This is the part
where you say,
"Congratulations, Micah."
748
00:37:27,162 --> 00:37:28,787
"I knew you could do it."
749
00:37:28,789 --> 00:37:30,872
[Charley] I just
don't know anymore.
750
00:37:30,874 --> 00:37:32,707
I just thought you'd
be happy for me.
751
00:37:33,293 --> 00:37:35,252
Everyone else is.
752
00:37:35,254 --> 00:37:38,838
This is a great opportunity
for me to explore,
to move forward in my life.
753
00:37:38,915 --> 00:37:41,174
[Charley] Think about
your future.
754
00:37:41,176 --> 00:37:43,134
You could have talked
to us first before you went-
755
00:37:43,211 --> 00:37:44,719
I'm not asking
for your permission.
756
00:37:46,473 --> 00:37:47,672
I'm an adult.
757
00:37:49,351 --> 00:37:51,226
You just insist on
treating me like a kid.
758
00:37:51,228 --> 00:37:53,019
[Charley] Then stop
acting like one!
759
00:37:53,021 --> 00:37:55,188
I'm not act--
You're not even
listening to me.
760
00:37:55,190 --> 00:37:58,233
Like, I'm not going to
New York to just live there.
761
00:37:58,277 --> 00:38:00,944
This is exactly what I've been
working for.
762
00:38:00,946 --> 00:38:03,196
This is exactly what
I wanna do with
the rest of my life.
763
00:38:03,273 --> 00:38:06,199
Make art, make community.
764
00:38:06,201 --> 00:38:09,619
Have a job, I'm gonna have
access to so many people
765
00:38:09,696 --> 00:38:12,622
who actually see me
for who I am.
766
00:38:13,959 --> 00:38:15,608
I have to be there.
767
00:38:15,610 --> 00:38:17,919
[Charley] Well, we'll talk
more later. I gotta go, bye
768
00:38:33,979 --> 00:38:36,313
Now, this room
is better, right?
769
00:38:36,315 --> 00:38:39,983
I mean, it's closer.
That way, if they need us,
we can hear 'em.
770
00:38:40,060 --> 00:38:43,028
And I tell you, baby, this,
this electric violet,
771
00:38:43,030 --> 00:38:45,363
it's the right choice,
baby, you nailed it.
772
00:38:45,365 --> 00:38:46,364
You think they'll like it?
773
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:48,325
We can always repaint.
774
00:38:49,328 --> 00:38:52,203
I thought we would have
gotten the call by now.
775
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,456
Do you think that
there's a problem?
776
00:38:54,458 --> 00:38:57,417
I think our baby will
come right on time.
777
00:38:57,919 --> 00:38:58,960
I don't know.
778
00:38:59,629 --> 00:39:00,879
[sighs]
779
00:39:02,132 --> 00:39:04,049
I mean, maybe our time
has passed.
780
00:39:04,468 --> 00:39:05,792
You know?
781
00:39:05,794 --> 00:39:08,511
Maybe this, this isn't
the right thing to do.
782
00:39:08,588 --> 00:39:10,889
I am not a young woman.
783
00:39:10,891 --> 00:39:13,975
You, Violet Bordelon,
are timeless.
784
00:39:13,977 --> 00:39:16,061
-I'm serious.
-And so am I.
785
00:39:18,607 --> 00:39:21,191
You can imagine me,
a baby and me?
786
00:39:21,193 --> 00:39:23,568
With parents that
are barely Micah's age?
787
00:39:23,570 --> 00:39:26,988
I could see any child
being lucky calling you Mama.
788
00:39:26,990 --> 00:39:29,824
Do you think Belinda
has changed her mind?
789
00:39:29,826 --> 00:39:31,493
Just need to be patient, baby.
790
00:39:31,995 --> 00:39:33,203
Just a little bit.
791
00:39:40,253 --> 00:39:42,295
[Nova gasps] Miss Pearl.
792
00:39:46,593 --> 00:39:49,010
[Pearl] So pleased
that you came back.
793
00:39:50,263 --> 00:39:52,430
Say prayers for
Miss Martha's journey.
794
00:39:52,891 --> 00:39:54,599
She was a good woman.
795
00:39:55,602 --> 00:39:57,602
She deserves this.
796
00:40:02,275 --> 00:40:04,609
Ladies, shall we begin?
797
00:40:05,195 --> 00:40:06,820
-Yes.
-[woman murmuring]
798
00:40:19,251 --> 00:40:24,295
We ask in the name
of our beloved
Martha Lavoisier.
799
00:40:25,924 --> 00:40:29,134
That as her soul
separates from her body,
800
00:40:29,136 --> 00:40:32,220
she be granted peace.
801
00:40:32,889 --> 00:40:35,306
May her homegoing
path be clear
802
00:40:35,308 --> 00:40:39,894
and her journey be filled
with euphoric joy.
803
00:40:39,896 --> 00:40:44,357
May our hearts
be strengthened.
804
00:40:44,359 --> 00:40:48,987
We know and believe
that while absent in mind,
she is present in spirit
805
00:40:48,989 --> 00:40:54,033
and in spirit she is mighty.
