1
00:00:00,357 --> 00:00:02,085
Previously, on
"Queen Sugar"...
2
00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:04,822
we knew this day
was coming and we pray for it,
3
00:00:04,907 --> 00:00:06,024
for their sake.
4
00:00:06,202 --> 00:00:08,254
I just didn't know
it would hurt so much.
5
00:00:08,338 --> 00:00:09,626
They're calling
a school board meeting
6
00:00:09,710 --> 00:00:11,399
to vote on banning your work.
7
00:00:11,483 --> 00:00:13,702
This is insane.
We can't back down.
8
00:00:13,786 --> 00:00:15,966
- You raped me.
- You really wanna out yourself?
9
00:00:16,050 --> 00:00:17,205
You did what you did
10
00:00:17,289 --> 00:00:18,874
and I will make sure
that you pay.
11
00:00:18,958 --> 00:00:21,430
No, if you're saying
that the summer with her
12
00:00:21,514 --> 00:00:22,900
is the summer
that changed everything.
13
00:00:22,984 --> 00:00:23,760
Hey.
14
00:00:23,844 --> 00:00:25,594
I didn't think you want
to hear from me.
15
00:00:25,678 --> 00:00:27,693
I would love to catch up.
16
00:00:38,125 --> 00:00:41,756
- You still go to skate country?
- Skate country?
17
00:00:42,921 --> 00:00:45,415
Not since tearing up
the rink for Billy.
18
00:00:45,499 --> 00:00:47,100
And you.
19
00:00:47,184 --> 00:00:48,873
You could barely skate,
but please,
20
00:00:48,984 --> 00:00:50,712
with those little Booty shorts..
21
00:00:50,796 --> 00:00:52,163
Don't treat me like that.
22
00:00:52,273 --> 00:00:54,758
By the end of junior year,
I was putting y'all to shame.
23
00:00:54,842 --> 00:00:57,394
It just took me a minute
to get my legs.
24
00:00:57,478 --> 00:00:59,439
Okay, okay,
if that's your story.
25
00:00:59,523 --> 00:01:00,588
It is
26
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,128
and I'm sticking to it.
27
00:01:05,194 --> 00:01:06,802
Oh.
28
00:01:09,039 --> 00:01:10,943
You know when I look
at you now...
29
00:01:12,507 --> 00:01:14,678
Feels like time stood still.
30
00:01:14,762 --> 00:01:17,392
Like I'm a teenager
all over again
31
00:01:17,476 --> 00:01:18,596
minus the press and curl.
32
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,932
Oh, the press and curl
was fire.
33
00:01:21,016 --> 00:01:22,675
Those little Alia bangs.
34
00:01:22,861 --> 00:01:24,668
You look sexy as hell.
35
00:01:24,903 --> 00:01:26,154
Thanks.
36
00:01:26,238 --> 00:01:28,282
But never will a hot comb
torch my ears again.
37
00:01:28,366 --> 00:01:31,977
- Yeah.
- Some things are better left in the past.
38
00:01:32,077 --> 00:01:34,769
I'm glad our connection
is the one of them.
39
00:01:37,699 --> 00:01:39,306
I'm happy we're back in touch.
40
00:01:40,068 --> 00:01:41,525
Me too.
41
00:01:41,753 --> 00:01:43,310
Hmm.
42
00:01:44,089 --> 00:01:46,674
So you stay pretty close
to home.
43
00:01:46,758 --> 00:01:47,625
Mm-hmm.
44
00:01:47,709 --> 00:01:49,451
You never wanted to move away?
45
00:01:49,983 --> 00:01:51,124
Not really.
46
00:01:51,930 --> 00:01:53,654
I love Louisiana.
47
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:57,803
There's something about
this little piece of the world.
48
00:01:59,420 --> 00:02:03,191
The way the cypress trees sway
and got that one rhythm.
49
00:02:03,275 --> 00:02:06,477
Big sky filled with 1000 stars
at night.
50
00:02:06,561 --> 00:02:10,221
And people not always behaving
the way you'd like, but...
51
00:02:11,232 --> 00:02:13,017
Loving you no matter what.
52
00:02:13,101 --> 00:02:15,726
I wish I saw this place
the way you do.
53
00:02:16,955 --> 00:02:19,063
And I love St. Joe,
it's just...
54
00:02:20,408 --> 00:02:22,233
Didn't always love me.
55
00:02:25,079 --> 00:02:29,663
You know, I think that idea
that this place
56
00:02:29,747 --> 00:02:31,071
didn't always love you.
57
00:02:32,253 --> 00:02:34,389
It's a story you've told
yourself.
58
00:02:36,898 --> 00:02:39,540
Maybe it's time you told
yourself a new story.
59
00:02:40,812 --> 00:02:43,204
One where you're not
the victim.
60
00:02:43,982 --> 00:02:45,423
You're the hero.

Joaquin, I'm just glad
that y'all are getting settled.
70
00:03:25,690 --> 00:03:27,925
What you remember
what I told you?
71
00:03:28,009 --> 00:03:32,380
We're family. So you need
anything, let us know.
72
00:03:32,464 --> 00:03:35,883
We're here.
Okay, hold on, hold on.
73
00:03:35,967 --> 00:03:37,374
Thank you.
74
00:03:38,136 --> 00:03:39,954
Joaquin, my man.
75
00:03:40,038 --> 00:03:42,907
Hey, don't forget to tell
Dante that I need
76
00:03:42,991 --> 00:03:45,599
y'all help getting true
north back on that water.
77
00:03:45,877 --> 00:03:48,412
. Yeah.
78
00:03:48,496 --> 00:03:49,887
All right.
79
00:03:57,889 --> 00:03:59,163
Come here, baby.
80
00:04:01,393 --> 00:04:03,417
Come here, my love.
81
00:04:05,063 --> 00:04:06,620
Yeah.
82
00:04:07,565 --> 00:04:09,173
Yeah, I miss him too.
83
00:04:10,051 --> 00:04:12,626
I mean, it's ripe, you know?
84
00:04:13,321 --> 00:04:15,323
They're with their father.
85
00:04:15,407 --> 00:04:19,133
Lord knows they deserve
to be a family again.
86
00:04:19,694 --> 00:04:23,564
It's just....
87
00:04:23,648 --> 00:04:26,817
I had given up all thoughts
of having children
88
00:04:26,901 --> 00:04:28,526
and then the boys...
89
00:04:30,205 --> 00:04:32,974
Had me feeling things
that I pushed down
90
00:04:33,058 --> 00:04:35,132
way deep inside of me.
91
00:04:35,527 --> 00:04:37,345
And those...
92
00:04:37,429 --> 00:04:40,487
Feelings have started
to come back.
93
00:04:41,599 --> 00:04:42,990
Shae.
94
00:04:43,918 --> 00:04:46,126
You know it ain't got
to be that way.
95
00:04:47,772 --> 00:04:50,674
All those empty spaces
that you got,
96
00:04:50,758 --> 00:04:52,633
and they can be filled.
97
00:04:54,446 --> 00:04:57,431
Baby, you got a whole lot
of loving.
98
00:04:57,515 --> 00:04:59,807
There's children out there
who need it.
99
00:05:02,887 --> 00:05:05,162
Should we think about
fostering again?
100
00:05:08,776 --> 00:05:11,212
I thought about it.
101
00:05:11,296 --> 00:05:15,689
But no one that, we gotta
let him go, that's hard for me.
102
00:05:16,918 --> 00:05:19,837
With blue, with the boys.
103
00:05:19,921 --> 00:05:21,205
They move on.
104
00:05:21,289 --> 00:05:23,457
Well, maybe.
105
00:05:23,541 --> 00:05:28,185
Maybe you could take that love
that you have for that one child
106
00:05:29,447 --> 00:05:31,632
and give it to the next one.
107
00:05:31,716 --> 00:05:35,636
And then after that,
you give it to the next one
108
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,824
and pretty soon you'll have
a whole world of children.
109
00:05:39,908 --> 00:05:44,852
Knows what the love of Violet
bordelon-desonier feels like
110
00:05:45,663 --> 00:05:48,022
and that should be enough
to keep you going.
111
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,504
Talked to blue this morning?
112
00:06:10,588 --> 00:06:11,912
Mm-hmm.
113
00:06:12,340 --> 00:06:14,208
He talked my ear off.
114
00:06:14,292 --> 00:06:15,893
He has a field trip later.
115
00:06:15,977 --> 00:06:19,920
So, you know how much he loves
his explorations.
116
00:06:21,099 --> 00:06:23,974
Like him being in
the same city is at best.
117
00:06:24,852 --> 00:06:26,443
Don't sit right with me.
118
00:06:27,372 --> 00:06:31,909
I know, but... He's okay.
119
00:06:31,993 --> 00:06:36,320
He will never find out
what any of this.
120
00:06:37,549 --> 00:06:42,570
Not until or if we ever decide
to tell him.
121
00:06:42,654 --> 00:06:45,122
Maybe we should tell him.
I mean, what if he finds out
122
00:06:45,206 --> 00:06:47,308
- on his own?
- Not yet.
123
00:06:47,392 --> 00:06:50,834
- I mean, everything comes out eventually, Darla.
- Not now.
124
00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:03,457
And he ain't say nothing
about making him pay
125
00:07:03,541 --> 00:07:05,409
for the part of the plant.
126
00:07:05,493 --> 00:07:07,251
He's not paying.
127
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,656
He's donating to the farmers,
128
00:07:14,385 --> 00:07:16,110
to this community.
129
00:07:16,737 --> 00:07:18,612
He's not paying for blue.
130
00:07:19,257 --> 00:07:20,948
He's not paying me.
131
00:07:23,428 --> 00:07:25,169
And once a month,
132
00:07:27,031 --> 00:07:28,983
I'll have to face
what he did to me.
133
00:07:30,418 --> 00:07:32,686
I don't think he think
about nothing but himself.
134
00:07:32,770 --> 00:07:35,356
You might be right, but does it
even really matter what he thinks.
135
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,114
It matters what I think.
136
00:07:38,209 --> 00:07:42,669
And since that day, I've
been thinking differently.
137
00:07:44,616 --> 00:07:46,156
I'm not afraid.
138
00:07:47,852 --> 00:07:49,660
I'm ashamed.
139
00:07:50,588 --> 00:07:51,895
I'm here.
140
00:07:55,059 --> 00:07:56,533
And all is well.
141
00:08:00,798 --> 00:08:02,539
Well, I'm proud of you.
142
00:08:04,602 --> 00:08:06,487
An Orion's get together.
143
00:08:06,571 --> 00:08:08,789
We here to talk what we came
to talk about.
144
00:08:08,873 --> 00:08:10,958
That's all the most of y'all
are in, right?
145
00:08:11,042 --> 00:08:13,494
The real dads on duty,
they started shreveport
146
00:08:13,578 --> 00:08:16,870
armed with nothing
but fatherly love
147
00:08:17,315 --> 00:08:18,732
and dad jokes.
148
00:08:18,816 --> 00:08:20,534
And that may change lives.
149
00:08:20,618 --> 00:08:22,853
Now I propose that we do
something like that down here.
150
00:08:22,937 --> 00:08:24,188
Okay.
151
00:08:24,272 --> 00:08:26,574
And our kids, man, they're
getting hit with way too much for us
152
00:08:26,658 --> 00:08:28,392
not to be guiding them.
153
00:08:28,476 --> 00:08:30,411
You got the pandemic,
you got black folks
154
00:08:30,495 --> 00:08:33,581
dying on tape and being shown
on TV with ease.
155
00:08:33,665 --> 00:08:37,251
Got trump's foolishness,
social media manipulation,
156
00:08:37,335 --> 00:08:38,619
mass shootings.
157
00:08:38,703 --> 00:08:40,588
Things have definitely gotten
worse since I was in high school.
158
00:08:40,672 --> 00:08:42,323
And you know why?
School was supposed to be
159
00:08:42,407 --> 00:08:44,525
a safe place, a safe
environment to learn
160
00:08:44,609 --> 00:08:46,510
and to grow. Not to be seeing
all of these fights
161
00:08:46,594 --> 00:08:47,595
and being bullied.
162
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,264
Especially hard for
the sensitive kids like blue.
163
00:08:50,348 --> 00:08:53,234
- All these kids be stressed, really.
- Posttraumatic stress.
164
00:08:53,318 --> 00:08:55,219
You know, we got them school
board meeting's coming up.
165
00:08:55,303 --> 00:08:57,888
Tensions are high. We
can be there to calm it down.
166
00:08:57,972 --> 00:09:01,609
Not for the parents, yes.
But especially for the kids.
167
00:09:01,693 --> 00:09:04,511
And that principal over there,
he ain't doing nothing
168
00:09:04,595 --> 00:09:06,413
but sitting around waiting
for retirement
169
00:09:06,497 --> 00:09:09,066
while kids like Dante,
and them other young 'uns
170
00:09:09,150 --> 00:09:11,619
over there suffering
and losing they way.
171
00:09:11,703 --> 00:09:13,787
Any kid shouldn't have
to go through that at school.
172
00:09:13,871 --> 00:09:16,190
Or getting shot. You know,
now getting a education
173
00:09:16,274 --> 00:09:17,324
has you in the line of fire.
174
00:09:17,408 --> 00:09:20,294
We should have kids at school
thinking they're safe.
175
00:09:20,378 --> 00:09:21,945
One day they don't come home
no more.
176
00:09:22,029 --> 00:09:23,530
- That ain't right.
- That's a damn shame.
177
00:09:23,614 --> 00:09:25,299
I'm about with whatever
you're doing.
178
00:09:25,383 --> 00:09:27,268
- Count me in.
- Count me in. I'm there.
179
00:09:27,352 --> 00:09:28,552
Yeah, me too.
180
00:09:28,636 --> 00:09:31,621
Bottom line is, fellas, if we
don't step up and show up,
181
00:09:31,705 --> 00:09:32,706
who will?
182
00:09:32,790 --> 00:09:34,708
We ain't gonna be waiting
for nobody else.
183
00:09:34,792 --> 00:09:36,793
No, we have to make
the change.
184
00:09:36,877 --> 00:09:39,263
We are for change.
185
00:09:39,347 --> 00:09:40,781
- Right.
- Who's with me?
186
00:09:40,865 --> 00:09:42,316
- Hey, man.
- Let's do it.
187
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,740
Dads on patrol!
188
00:09:44,235 --> 00:09:45,119
. I'm down.
189
00:09:45,203 --> 00:09:48,638
So what did I miss
at the last one of these?
190
00:09:48,722 --> 00:09:52,109
- Just give me the highlights.
- Okay. Um...
191
00:09:52,193 --> 00:09:55,779
I went to college, traveled
a little.
192
00:09:55,863 --> 00:09:58,449
Not as much as I wanted to,
but I'd love to get a feel
193
00:09:58,533 --> 00:10:00,150
for the world, what's out
there.
194
00:10:00,234 --> 00:10:01,318
Um...
195
00:10:01,402 --> 00:10:05,956
Then got real activated
and settled on the ninth.
196
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,492
Worked for a newspaper.
Wrote a book.
197
00:10:08,576 --> 00:10:09,743
Hmm.
198
00:10:09,827 --> 00:10:11,151
I read it.
199
00:10:12,413 --> 00:10:14,631
I'm glad you're still writing.
200
00:10:14,715 --> 00:10:16,633
I always said you were
gonna be the next bell hooks.
201
00:10:16,717 --> 00:10:19,002
I don't know about that.
202
00:10:19,086 --> 00:10:21,495
I still have that book of hers
that you got me.
203
00:10:22,890 --> 00:10:25,526
You used to read me
passages out in the cane.
204
00:10:25,610 --> 00:10:27,668
Looking up at the stars.
205
00:10:29,030 --> 00:10:30,814
"The moment we choose
to love..."
206
00:10:30,898 --> 00:10:33,507
"...We begin
to move towards..."
207
00:10:35,753 --> 00:10:38,522
All right, your turn.
Highlights, please.
208
00:10:38,606 --> 00:10:41,191
Well, after high school,
209
00:10:41,275 --> 00:10:43,360
I worked in the store
210
00:10:43,444 --> 00:10:45,319
and I moved to St. Martin's.
211
00:10:45,963 --> 00:10:47,521
I met my wife.
212
00:10:48,382 --> 00:10:49,833
Ex-wife.
213
00:10:49,917 --> 00:10:52,686
Pretty recent, it's been
about two years.
214
00:10:52,770 --> 00:10:56,380
But we're good. We never
really stopped loving someone.
215
00:10:57,275 --> 00:11:00,728
And we share the kids.
We got that right.
216
00:11:00,812 --> 00:11:02,396
How many kids do you have?
217
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,522
Two. A boy and a girl.
218
00:11:07,151 --> 00:11:09,069
- The boy's just like you.
- Oh.
219
00:11:09,153 --> 00:11:11,545
Just can't wait to get out
of here.
220
00:11:13,407 --> 00:11:15,159
You got kids?
221
00:11:15,243 --> 00:11:18,395
No. Never felt like my path.
222
00:11:18,479 --> 00:11:22,866
But I love having kids around,
I have two nephews
223
00:11:22,950 --> 00:11:24,391
and a baby niece.
224
00:11:33,411 --> 00:11:35,012
That last day I saw you...
225
00:11:35,096 --> 00:11:37,904
We were supposed to go
to that graduation party.
226
00:11:39,750 --> 00:11:41,502
Have our first dance
in public.
227
00:11:41,586 --> 00:11:44,087
I'm sorry I never called.
228
00:11:44,171 --> 00:11:46,380
Or that I didn't show up.
229
00:11:46,858 --> 00:11:48,298
What happened?
230
00:11:52,697 --> 00:11:57,424
You were the best thing
that happened to me back then.
231
00:11:58,436 --> 00:12:03,597
But I was outed to my father
and, um...
232
00:12:05,042 --> 00:12:06,917
He ain't never looked at me
the same.
233
00:12:09,814 --> 00:12:11,488
I mean up until then,
234
00:12:12,016 --> 00:12:13,924
I adored him and...
235
00:12:14,868 --> 00:12:16,426
He adored me.
236
00:12:18,306 --> 00:12:19,946
And then...
237
00:12:20,374 --> 00:12:25,102
There was a sadness...
238
00:12:26,163 --> 00:12:27,581
In his eyes.
239
00:12:27,665 --> 00:12:30,273
And it broke me.
240
00:12:31,736 --> 00:12:33,510
I'm sorry.
241
00:12:38,142 --> 00:12:41,468
Well, Mr. Ernest would come by
the store.
242
00:12:42,713 --> 00:12:44,832
He always seemed like
he wanted to talk,
243
00:12:44,916 --> 00:12:48,402
but then he'd just order
number six
244
00:12:48,486 --> 00:12:50,527
and a strawberry cold drink.
245
00:12:53,174 --> 00:12:55,148
When he suggested
that I call you.
246
00:12:57,011 --> 00:12:58,762
I wish I had it.
247
00:12:58,846 --> 00:13:00,987
. You don't know
how much...
248
00:13:02,433 --> 00:13:06,543
It means to me that
he said that to you.
249
00:13:15,446 --> 00:13:17,821
That was a long time ago.
250
00:13:27,441 --> 00:13:28,792
What up, uncle wood?
251
00:13:28,876 --> 00:13:31,184
Here you go..
252
00:13:32,346 --> 00:13:33,830
Come here.
253
00:13:33,914 --> 00:13:35,499
Oh, my gosh.
254
00:13:35,583 --> 00:13:38,835
- She's growing like a weed.
- Doctor says she gonna be tall like me.
255
00:13:38,919 --> 00:13:40,370
She at the 98th percentile.
256
00:13:40,454 --> 00:13:42,839
Ooh, look at you, supermodel.
257
00:13:42,923 --> 00:13:45,375
Ah, she gonna be a scientist.
Ain't that right, baby?
258
00:13:45,459 --> 00:13:47,144
There ain't nothing wrong
with being a farmer.
259
00:13:47,228 --> 00:13:48,845
Oh, baby.
260
00:13:50,698 --> 00:13:52,816
To be a farmer, that's why.
261
00:13:52,900 --> 00:13:53,984
A farmer...
You gonna be...
262
00:13:54,068 --> 00:13:55,953
Tell Mr. Prosper
you don't like farming.
263
00:13:57,705 --> 00:13:59,880
Take these. We got to get
some more dads out.
264
00:14:00,908 --> 00:14:02,459
I know technically I'm not
a father,
265
00:14:02,543 --> 00:14:04,795
but after watching
Dante come home.
266
00:14:04,879 --> 00:14:07,464
Being bullied at school, I just
couldn't sit around and do nothing.
267
00:14:07,548 --> 00:14:10,090
You don't have to be
a biological father to father.
268
00:14:12,119 --> 00:14:13,343
That's right.
269
00:14:14,488 --> 00:14:16,222
So, dig it, man.
270
00:14:16,306 --> 00:14:18,542
I put in my paperwork
to foster again.
271
00:14:18,626 --> 00:14:20,077
- Whoa, look at you.
- Are you for real?
272
00:14:20,161 --> 00:14:22,579
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
273
00:14:22,663 --> 00:14:24,815
- Whoo.
- Anybody be lucky to call you dad.
274
00:14:24,899 --> 00:14:27,251
Yeah, you and vi
gonna make good parents.
275
00:14:27,335 --> 00:14:28,919
- All right.
- I'll see you in a second.
276
00:14:29,003 --> 00:14:30,710
I'll see you in a second,
Mr. Prosper.
277
00:14:31,806 --> 00:14:33,897
Just sit down
for a minute, will you?
278
00:14:37,244 --> 00:14:40,530
So, I mean how's everything
with you and Darla
279
00:14:40,614 --> 00:14:42,766
after everything, you know,
went down last night
280
00:14:42,850 --> 00:14:44,024
with chase?
281
00:14:46,854 --> 00:14:49,422
Ever think about
therapy, wood?
282
00:14:49,506 --> 00:14:51,608
I've never done it,
but I know it does a whole lot
283
00:14:51,692 --> 00:14:53,393
of people a whole lot of good.
284
00:14:53,477 --> 00:14:55,602
Can't stop thinking about
what he did to her.
285
00:14:57,314 --> 00:14:59,349
It's been on my mind,
you know?
286
00:14:59,433 --> 00:15:00,934
I get it.
287
00:15:01,018 --> 00:15:05,038
And I remember when Jimmy Dale
come by the house,
288
00:15:05,122 --> 00:15:08,231
you always hear people talking
about snapping, but brother...
289
00:15:08,859 --> 00:15:10,927
. I was so close.
290
00:15:11,011 --> 00:15:13,297
All I saw was just red.
291
00:15:13,381 --> 00:15:16,466
But, Ralph, we gotta learn
to let them things go.
292
00:15:16,550 --> 00:15:18,451
Nothing good ever comes
from that type of thinking.
293
00:15:18,535 --> 00:15:21,405
It only hurts you
way more than it hurts them.
294
00:15:21,489 --> 00:15:23,430
And you're saying
I should just...
295
00:15:25,159 --> 00:15:27,144
Let it go?
296
00:15:27,228 --> 00:15:29,413
How am I supposed
to let it go, wood?
297
00:15:29,497 --> 00:15:31,815
What? I'm supposed
to just move on?
298
00:15:31,899 --> 00:15:34,508
After he did what he did
to the woman I love?
299
00:15:35,986 --> 00:15:37,777
To my wife?
300
00:15:41,008 --> 00:15:43,110
I can't wrap my mind
around that one.
301
00:15:43,194 --> 00:15:45,302
I sure as hell
can't let it go.
302
00:15:48,182 --> 00:15:50,450
Listen, man.
303
00:15:50,534 --> 00:15:54,594
Your job is to protect
and love your wife.
304
00:15:55,222 --> 00:15:58,141
Focus on her. Not on him.
305
00:15:58,225 --> 00:16:01,611
He's not worth your attention,
your time
306
00:16:01,695 --> 00:16:03,537
or your energy.
307
00:16:04,899 --> 00:16:06,606
No, brother.
308
00:16:07,384 --> 00:16:09,459
Change the way you think.
309
00:16:11,439 --> 00:16:12,946
He's not worth it.
310
00:16:19,580 --> 00:16:22,505
These are photos I took
for your insurance claim.
311
00:16:22,900 --> 00:16:24,024
Thank you.
312
00:16:25,386 --> 00:16:27,037
All right.
313
00:16:27,121 --> 00:16:29,322
You know I wanted to talk
to you about that one.
314
00:16:29,406 --> 00:16:31,007
I could barely stand.
315
00:16:31,091 --> 00:16:33,850
I would like to use this photo
in our show
316
00:16:34,578 --> 00:16:36,019
with your permission.
317
00:16:36,730 --> 00:16:38,548
You gonna hang this up
like it's art?
318
00:16:38,632 --> 00:16:39,616
It is art.
319
00:16:39,700 --> 00:16:42,152
Some of the best photos
I've ever taken.
320
00:16:42,236 --> 00:16:44,971
This photo can bring to life
the real burden
321
00:16:45,055 --> 00:16:46,580
that black farmers face.
322
00:16:47,224 --> 00:16:48,982
Storms are getting crazy.
323
00:16:49,877 --> 00:16:51,795
Talk about climate change
and the real people
324
00:16:51,879 --> 00:16:52,846
that it affects.
325
00:16:52,930 --> 00:16:56,216
- And you see all that in this picture?
- I do.
326
00:16:56,300 --> 00:16:57,707
And when it sells,
327
00:16:58,769 --> 00:17:01,378
I want to donate
all the proceeds to the co-op.
328
00:17:04,074 --> 00:17:06,433
If it weren't for the co-op,
I wouldn't be here.
329
00:17:06,911 --> 00:17:08,335
Ronnie, young blood.
330
00:17:09,296 --> 00:17:10,520
Thank you.
331
00:17:10,764 --> 00:17:11,938
Yeah.
332
00:17:15,002 --> 00:17:16,486
Mike...
333
00:17:16,570 --> 00:17:18,688
What's up?
334
00:17:18,772 --> 00:17:21,908
Remember when you had
your picture hanging up here,
335
00:17:21,992 --> 00:17:23,994
- at the...
- Mm-hmm.
336
00:17:24,078 --> 00:17:29,216
You and your friend. I had no
business running my mouth about it.
337
00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:32,836
It's clear that you have vision,
you can see things I don't see.
338
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,079
See, when I was coming up,
it was a different time.
339
00:17:36,807 --> 00:17:39,192
But it still don't make it
right.
340
00:17:39,276 --> 00:17:41,611
So I'm just glad that you
don't gotta live like that,
341
00:17:41,695 --> 00:17:44,104
- young blood.
- Thank you.
342
00:17:45,099 --> 00:17:46,750
Thank you. I appreciate you
saying that.
343
00:17:46,834 --> 00:17:48,942
- I love you, boy.
- I love you too.
344
00:17:56,644 --> 00:17:57,661
Where'd that come from?
345
00:17:57,745 --> 00:18:00,297
An old mill over in ho um a
is selling off some parts.
346
00:18:00,381 --> 00:18:01,798
We could probably fix up
the harvester.
347
00:18:01,882 --> 00:18:03,266
Yeah, I think we should
try it.
348
00:18:03,350 --> 00:18:04,978
I mean, it can only increase
the value.
349
00:18:17,164 --> 00:18:18,648
Thank you for coming.
350
00:18:18,732 --> 00:18:20,140
Thank you for calling.
351
00:18:21,468 --> 00:18:23,553
I haven't been here
for so long.
352
00:18:23,637 --> 00:18:26,296
Charlie was so driven
to make this happen.
353
00:18:27,741 --> 00:18:29,743
I want to talk to you about
your book and your movie.
354
00:18:29,827 --> 00:18:32,312
Uh... . I already
told the publisher
355
00:18:32,396 --> 00:18:34,614
that it's not happening.
The movie is dead.
356
00:18:34,698 --> 00:18:35,765
I promise you, Darla.
357
00:18:35,849 --> 00:18:37,918
No, no, no.
358
00:18:38,002 --> 00:18:40,627
I see now what you were trying
to do with your books.
359
00:18:41,689 --> 00:18:43,106
I don't like how you did it.
360
00:18:43,190 --> 00:18:45,498
You told my story without
my permission.
361
00:18:46,894 --> 00:18:51,081
But you also put light
into what I hid too long
362
00:18:51,165 --> 00:18:53,456
- in the dark.
- And I didn't intend to hurt you.
363
00:18:55,252 --> 00:18:58,328
But I did. Deeply.
364
00:18:59,256 --> 00:19:00,797
And I'm sorry.
365
00:19:01,425 --> 00:19:02,816
I believe you.
366
00:19:04,011 --> 00:19:06,530
And I forgive you.
367
00:19:06,614 --> 00:19:12,559
After seeing chase here,
where I live, where I fell in love.
368
00:19:13,220 --> 00:19:15,995
Or I died and came back
to life.
369
00:19:17,524 --> 00:19:21,127
I realized that he has
no power over me that
370
00:19:21,211 --> 00:19:22,836
I don't allow him to have.
371
00:19:24,064 --> 00:19:27,507
He didn't break me.
I took him down.
372
00:19:28,585 --> 00:19:32,195
That's what I want people
to know.
373
00:19:33,741 --> 00:19:36,249
Your book ended
in the middle of my story.
374
00:19:38,145 --> 00:19:39,519
I won.
375
00:19:42,383 --> 00:19:44,591
Add that to your movie
and you'll have my blessing.

All right, fellas.
387
00:20:15,499 --> 00:20:18,051
Y'all enjoy the calm
before the storm.
388
00:20:18,135 --> 00:20:21,144
These kids be getting out
of class in an actual minute.
389
00:20:21,905 --> 00:20:22,956
Steel yourselves.
390
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,791
I'm ready to go.
391
00:20:24,875 --> 00:20:26,626
Sounds like we're going
to war.
392
00:20:26,710 --> 00:20:28,411
Feel like it sometimes.
393
00:20:28,495 --> 00:20:30,780
I don't know the last time
you was in school.
394
00:20:30,864 --> 00:20:32,582
Was school problematic
for you?
395
00:20:32,666 --> 00:20:34,190
How about he was the problem?
396
00:20:36,203 --> 00:20:38,638
Look, I had my moments
trying to balance school life
397
00:20:38,722 --> 00:20:41,675
and home like a tug of war.
398
00:20:41,759 --> 00:20:44,427
Either withdrawal or act out.
399
00:20:44,511 --> 00:20:45,679
Yeah, and neither one is good.
400
00:20:45,763 --> 00:20:46,930
- That's right.
- Yeah.
401
00:20:48,766 --> 00:20:50,300
Here we go.
402
00:20:52,252 --> 00:20:53,993
Good afternoon, kids.
403
00:20:55,105 --> 00:20:59,342
Hey, man, what was that?
404
00:20:59,426 --> 00:21:01,695
- I didn't see him.
- Oh, come on, man.
405
00:21:01,779 --> 00:21:03,530
I got eyes, you expect me
to believe that?
406
00:21:03,614 --> 00:21:05,782
- What's your name?
- Kyle.
407
00:21:05,866 --> 00:21:07,067
Kyle.
408
00:21:07,151 --> 00:21:10,153
My main man, Kyle. Now, look,
my name is Hollywood, all right?
409
00:21:10,237 --> 00:21:12,706
And there's a simple rule that
good people like me and you have
410
00:21:12,790 --> 00:21:14,124
to always follow.
411
00:21:14,208 --> 00:21:17,994
If you do something like that,
you got to stand by it.
412
00:21:18,078 --> 00:21:19,629
If you can't stand by
those actions,
413
00:21:19,713 --> 00:21:21,281
then just don't do it.
414
00:21:21,365 --> 00:21:22,705
All right?
415
00:21:23,434 --> 00:21:25,201
All right.
416
00:21:25,285 --> 00:21:27,320
- I'll be seeing you around, Kyle.
- Okay, Mr. Hollywood.
417
00:21:27,404 --> 00:21:28,578
All right, man.
418
00:21:32,259 --> 00:21:33,960
You think he was picking up
what I was putting down?
419
00:21:34,044 --> 00:21:36,312
I don't know, but I felt like
I got a life lesson.
420
00:21:36,396 --> 00:21:39,165
Yeah, I was getting ready to go
to my locker and write that down.
421
00:21:39,249 --> 00:21:41,001
Ain't no locker. Come on..
422
00:21:41,085 --> 00:21:42,569
Fellas.
423
00:21:42,653 --> 00:21:45,355
I stand here tonight,
424
00:21:45,439 --> 00:21:47,490
asking members
of the school board
425
00:21:47,574 --> 00:21:49,476
to please...
426
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,894
Do the right thing.
427
00:21:51,978 --> 00:21:54,330
. Speak, sis!
428
00:21:54,414 --> 00:21:55,898
You got this.
There's no way
429
00:21:55,982 --> 00:21:57,734
they're gonna ban your book
after that speech.
430
00:21:59,453 --> 00:22:01,778
Oh, this reminds me
of old times.
431
00:22:02,456 --> 00:22:04,230
What did you think?
432
00:22:04,508 --> 00:22:06,242
As a parent?
433
00:22:06,326 --> 00:22:08,878
Oh, um, as a parent,
I just...
434
00:22:08,962 --> 00:22:11,070
I just want what's best
for my kids.
435
00:22:12,299 --> 00:22:16,192
But some of those parents
aren't gonna see it like that.
436
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,395
So he's into it.
437
00:22:19,857 --> 00:22:21,274
Pour some sugar on it.
438
00:22:21,358 --> 00:22:23,266
You mean tone it down?
439
00:22:25,011 --> 00:22:26,379
Subtle.
440
00:22:26,463 --> 00:22:28,014
It's not really my thing.
441
00:22:28,098 --> 00:22:29,439
Hmm.
442
00:22:30,767 --> 00:22:32,075
I got you.
443
00:22:36,807 --> 00:22:40,060
Hello. Can I get you
some coffee to start?
444
00:22:40,144 --> 00:22:44,247
Sure. And I'd like to try one
of each of your pies, please.
445
00:22:44,331 --> 00:22:47,867
Well, baby, you must be hungry
because that's seven slices.
446
00:22:47,951 --> 00:22:49,202
I'm gonna try them all.
447
00:22:49,286 --> 00:22:51,137
I'll have one here
and the rest of to go.
448
00:22:51,221 --> 00:22:52,395
You choose.
449
00:22:54,224 --> 00:22:55,375
All right.
450
00:22:55,459 --> 00:22:57,410
Uh, Simone, baby.
451
00:22:57,494 --> 00:23:00,096
Come and package up
this order please.
452
00:23:00,180 --> 00:23:06,119
And my friend, you get
our last slice
453
00:23:06,203 --> 00:23:08,455
of today's apple pie special.
454
00:23:08,539 --> 00:23:09,679
Thanks.
455
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,415
- You enjoy it.
- Thank you.
456
00:23:18,882 --> 00:23:20,400
Wow.
457
00:23:20,484 --> 00:23:22,001
Mmm, mmm, mmm.
458
00:23:23,554 --> 00:23:25,962
Interesting's right.
This is pretty spectacular.
459
00:23:31,028 --> 00:23:33,680
Who on earth is Demetrius
and what is this about?
460
00:23:33,764 --> 00:23:35,014
Let me show you something.
461
00:23:35,098 --> 00:23:37,350
Yo, yo, Demetrius here.
462
00:23:37,434 --> 00:23:39,519
What in the world?
You're Ms. Violet, right?
463
00:23:39,603 --> 00:23:42,171
- Yes.
- My daughter showed me this gal on tiktok.
464
00:23:42,255 --> 00:23:44,424
He reviews everything.
465
00:23:44,508 --> 00:23:46,960
And he is crazy about
your pies.
466
00:23:47,044 --> 00:23:48,695
My daughter and all her
little friends stand in line
467
00:23:48,779 --> 00:23:50,363
at the farmers market
for an hour
468
00:23:50,447 --> 00:23:52,115
just to get a slice
before it sells out.
469
00:23:52,916 --> 00:23:54,868
Well, I ain't never met
this man.
470
00:23:54,952 --> 00:23:57,704
- Here you go.
- Oh, I love Demetrius.
471
00:23:57,788 --> 00:23:59,772
He's so funny.
He loves you, Ms. Violet.
472
00:23:59,856 --> 00:24:02,308
- You know about this?
- Everyone knows about him.
473
00:24:02,392 --> 00:24:03,877
He's got, like,
a million followers.
474
00:24:03,961 --> 00:24:05,335
I told you.
475
00:24:05,896 --> 00:24:06,980
Martin Henderson.
476
00:24:07,064 --> 00:24:11,017
I am a buyer for Hayes
farm fresh foods.
477
00:24:11,101 --> 00:24:12,635
And we've got two stores here
in Louisiana,
478
00:24:12,719 --> 00:24:14,871
but we've got them
in every state too.
479
00:24:14,955 --> 00:24:17,423
I want to talk to you about
getting your pies in our stores.
480
00:24:18,141 --> 00:24:20,560
Well, thank you, Martin.
481
00:24:20,644 --> 00:24:22,378
Uh...
482
00:24:22,462 --> 00:24:24,230
It's flattering, indeed
483
00:24:24,314 --> 00:24:30,052
and I would need to discuss
this with my business partner.
484
00:24:30,136 --> 00:24:33,706
And then we'll get back to you
about our interest.
485
00:24:33,790 --> 00:24:35,008
Of course. Of course.
486
00:24:35,092 --> 00:24:39,529
- Here you go.
- Well, I look forward
487
00:24:39,613 --> 00:24:40,747
to hearing from you.
488
00:24:40,831 --> 00:24:42,482
Enjoy your pies.
489
00:24:42,566 --> 00:24:44,440
- Thank you.
- Thanks for stopping.
490
00:24:55,412 --> 00:24:58,287
Don't mind me. Don't mind me.
491
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,242
Lord have mercy!
492
00:25:06,073 --> 00:25:06,990
You're poisoning
our kids' minds.
493
00:25:07,074 --> 00:25:08,725
You're the ones
that are teaching hate here.
494
00:25:08,809 --> 00:25:11,277
I'm done with it. Let's
keep the politics out of it.
495
00:25:11,361 --> 00:25:13,596
I don't need a bunch of books
teaching my kid
496
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,749
he was born a racist..
497
00:25:16,833 --> 00:25:18,418
Quiet down.
498
00:25:18,502 --> 00:25:19,986
. That's right.
499
00:25:20,070 --> 00:25:23,029
Nova bordelon,
you have three minutes.
500
00:25:25,926 --> 00:25:28,461
We may not share
the same point of view,
501
00:25:28,545 --> 00:25:31,497
but I'm hoping that you listen
with an open heart.
502
00:25:31,581 --> 00:25:35,301
I know what it's like
to be blinded by anger.
503
00:25:35,385 --> 00:25:37,336
I know what it's like
to be made to feel small
504
00:25:37,420 --> 00:25:39,689
and judged by
outside perceptions.
505
00:25:39,773 --> 00:25:41,357
Which is why it is
so important that
506
00:25:41,441 --> 00:25:43,676
we fight for the truth.
507
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,530
Not my opinion.
Not a theory. The truth.
508
00:25:47,614 --> 00:25:49,866
No matter how ugly or harsh,
we need to face the truth.
509
00:25:49,950 --> 00:25:53,369
Brainwashing our kids
into hating themselves.
510
00:25:53,453 --> 00:25:56,706
Baby, my niece is speaking.
She listened to you,
511
00:25:56,790 --> 00:25:58,074
please let her talk.
512
00:25:58,158 --> 00:25:59,976
It's her talking to our kids that
got us here in the first place.
513
00:26:00,060 --> 00:26:03,513
With all due respect,
these are good kids.
514
00:26:03,597 --> 00:26:05,315
You're gonna sell
your son short.
515
00:26:05,399 --> 00:26:08,184
- Isolation is not the answer.
- Don't tell me how to raise my kids.
516
00:26:08,268 --> 00:26:10,576
Quiet down.
517
00:26:11,755 --> 00:26:14,190
I'm asking you to raise
your children
518
00:26:14,274 --> 00:26:17,026
knowing that truth
is not the enemy.
519
00:26:17,110 --> 00:26:21,064
We're willing to give our kids
a gun before a book.
520
00:26:21,148 --> 00:26:23,733
- Something's broken.
- Now she wants to take away our guns.
521
00:26:23,817 --> 00:26:25,668
That is not what she said.
522
00:26:25,752 --> 00:26:28,688
- Stop putting words in her mouth.
- Everybody, please.
523
00:26:28,772 --> 00:26:32,365
Miss bordelon still has
the floor. Let her continue.
524
00:26:33,894 --> 00:26:35,361
I'm saying...
525
00:26:35,445 --> 00:26:40,199
Arm your children
with knowledge, not weapons.
526
00:26:40,283 --> 00:26:43,019
The great Angela Davis said
I am no longer accepting
527
00:26:43,103 --> 00:26:44,053
the things that I cannot
change...
528
00:26:44,137 --> 00:26:45,188
You know, I'm not gonna
sit here
529
00:26:45,272 --> 00:26:47,557
and listen to you preach
at me. You need to shut up.
530
00:26:47,641 --> 00:26:49,592
You know what,
watch your mouth.
531
00:26:49,676 --> 00:26:50,660
I'm about tired of your ass.
532
00:26:50,744 --> 00:26:53,536
- You need to be quiet.
- I'm sorry, Ms. Bordelon.
533
00:26:55,098 --> 00:26:57,890
We're out of time,
we need to vote.
534
00:27:20,941 --> 00:27:23,649
By a vote of three to two,
535
00:27:24,711 --> 00:27:30,099
the board has ordered a ban
of all texts with mentions
536
00:27:30,183 --> 00:27:32,802
to race, sexuality.
537
00:27:35,055 --> 00:27:37,073
They can't do this.
538
00:27:37,157 --> 00:27:40,333
They're erasing our,
our stories.
539
00:27:41,027 --> 00:27:42,301
Our history.
540
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,605
Oh, I'm sorry, baby.
541
00:27:47,033 --> 00:27:49,619
You're the only one in there
that made any sense.
542
00:27:49,703 --> 00:27:52,488
Most of our greatest things
have been banned at some point.
543
00:27:52,572 --> 00:27:54,157
Consider yourself
in good company.
544
00:27:54,241 --> 00:27:55,758
There's got to be more
we can do.
545
00:27:55,842 --> 00:27:58,978
I knew they were mad, but I
hope they wouldn't take it that far.
546
00:27:59,062 --> 00:28:01,130
Yeah, well, the loudest man
in the room
547
00:28:01,214 --> 00:28:02,615
is the weakest man
in the room.
548
00:28:02,699 --> 00:28:05,975
It was two to two
and the last man just gave up.
549
00:28:06,736 --> 00:28:08,237
Who's gonna take his place?
550
00:28:08,321 --> 00:28:10,406
We'll have to schedule
a special election.
551
00:28:10,490 --> 00:28:13,933
I just hope we don't end up
with one of those maga zealots.
552
00:28:14,895 --> 00:28:16,702
And what you gotta do to run?
553
00:28:19,032 --> 00:28:20,640
You interested?
554
00:28:22,752 --> 00:28:24,120
Somebody's gotta do
something, right?
555
00:28:24,204 --> 00:28:26,112
Well, you love kids.
556
00:28:26,606 --> 00:28:28,124
And these ones need you.
557
00:28:28,208 --> 00:28:29,826
I think it's a perfect idea.
558
00:28:29,910 --> 00:28:32,528
You will need 1000 signatures
to get on the ballot.
559
00:28:32,612 --> 00:28:33,963
That's doable.
560
00:28:34,047 --> 00:28:37,200
Between the diner,
real spot and co-op.
561
00:28:37,284 --> 00:28:39,435
Local hands on work.
562
00:28:39,519 --> 00:28:40,953
- That's the key.
- That's right.
563
00:28:41,037 --> 00:28:43,973
People focus on the president,
senators, congress people
564
00:28:44,057 --> 00:28:46,609
but the day to day decisions
of the local school boards,
565
00:28:46,693 --> 00:28:48,544
police boards,
district attorneys,
566
00:28:48,628 --> 00:28:51,447
city councils. That's the stuff
that really affects our lives.
567
00:28:51,531 --> 00:28:52,855
You got that right.
568
00:28:53,433 --> 00:28:54,817
Baby.
569
00:28:54,901 --> 00:28:58,137
Mel and nova and others
out here fighting for these kids
570
00:28:58,221 --> 00:29:01,414
only to be shut down
and banned over politics.
571
00:29:04,110 --> 00:29:06,485
- Count me in.
- All right.
572
00:29:17,407 --> 00:29:19,058
Congratulations.
573
00:29:19,142 --> 00:29:20,576
You sold it.
574
00:29:20,660 --> 00:29:22,361
It's a big deal to sell
something like this.
575
00:29:22,445 --> 00:29:25,832
I sort of can't believe it.
You know, it just feels good.
576
00:29:25,916 --> 00:29:28,050
This is the direction I want
to go with my work.
577
00:29:28,134 --> 00:29:29,685
Yeah, it's dynamic.
578
00:29:29,769 --> 00:29:32,889
Your voice. You're finding it.
You're fighting for it.
579
00:29:32,973 --> 00:29:35,158
We're hot. Good to see
you. Dope show, man.
580
00:29:35,242 --> 00:29:36,893
We should definitely
incorporate a few of these pieces
581
00:29:36,977 --> 00:29:37,927
in our next campaign.
582
00:29:38,011 --> 00:29:39,395
What the hell
are you doing here?
583
00:29:39,479 --> 00:29:41,898
Bro, you're selling these...
Dude, this is, this is good.
584
00:29:41,982 --> 00:29:43,232
We could make a lot
of money off of this.
585
00:29:43,316 --> 00:29:45,268
Do you hear yourself?
586
00:29:45,352 --> 00:29:47,770
Look, it's not a big deal,
all right?
587
00:29:47,854 --> 00:29:49,105
We just need to get back
in the game.
588
00:29:49,189 --> 00:29:52,264
- I know an investor.
- That's not how I want to do this.
589
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,244
What so, that's it?
590
00:29:55,328 --> 00:29:57,713
You're just got to drop me
after I put you in the game?
591
00:29:57,797 --> 00:30:00,082
- Yo, what you gonna do without me?
- I'll figure something out.
592
00:30:00,166 --> 00:30:02,708
You ever heard the phrase,
"be the change you want to see"?
593
00:30:05,038 --> 00:30:06,756
Aw, that's cheesy as hell.
594
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,926
I want to thank you actually
for showing me
595
00:30:10,010 --> 00:30:11,727
everything I never want to be.
596
00:30:11,811 --> 00:30:15,548
Up close and personal,
the greed, the desperation,
597
00:30:15,632 --> 00:30:17,156
the hollowness.
598
00:30:17,851 --> 00:30:20,036
I want to feel full.
599
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,262
If that's cheesy,
then so be it.
600
00:30:31,464 --> 00:30:34,173
Felt good being back at school
with the other dads.
601
00:30:35,568 --> 00:30:37,136
Took me all the way back.
602
00:30:37,220 --> 00:30:38,938
I hated high school though.
603
00:30:39,022 --> 00:30:40,629
What were you like?
604
00:30:41,408 --> 00:30:44,016
- Chip on my shoulder.
- Why?
605
00:30:45,362 --> 00:30:48,164
My ma and pop just
wanted me to excel.
606
00:30:48,248 --> 00:30:51,150
He's some kind of a student.
He's nothin' like blue.
607
00:30:51,234 --> 00:30:53,169
You felt like
you disappointed him.
608
00:30:53,253 --> 00:30:54,503
Definitely.
609
00:31:01,995 --> 00:31:03,412
It works.
610
00:31:03,496 --> 00:31:05,771
That's going to add a lot
to the property value.
611
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,452
I thought you said
all these parts came from
612
00:31:09,536 --> 00:31:10,770
a shuttered mill.
613
00:31:10,854 --> 00:31:13,089
That's what he said.
614
00:31:13,173 --> 00:31:14,757
That the owner's selling off
the parts.
615
00:31:14,841 --> 00:31:17,683
Landry selling his parts
to a mill?
616
00:31:18,244 --> 00:31:19,802
That don't sound right.
617
00:31:20,747 --> 00:31:23,199
We should take it over there,
see what's up.
618
00:31:23,283 --> 00:31:24,690
Come on.
619
00:31:36,563 --> 00:31:38,704
This is where he got
the spare parts.
620
00:31:40,116 --> 00:31:42,285
That's the edge
of Landry's land right there.
621
00:31:42,369 --> 00:31:43,986
. What's up with
the property lines?
622
00:31:44,070 --> 00:31:45,721
. Construction markers.
623
00:31:45,805 --> 00:31:48,858
If we let him sneak us this
time, that'll be it for the co-op.
624
00:31:48,942 --> 00:31:51,494
Surround us in concrete
and block our water.
625
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,314
We need to figure out
what they're planning.
626
00:31:55,398 --> 00:31:56,655
Asap.
627
00:32:01,988 --> 00:32:05,508
Well, now, that's nice.
628
00:32:05,592 --> 00:32:07,510
What do you think, Hollywood?
629
00:32:07,594 --> 00:32:09,545
Sharp as a tack just like
the rest of him.
630
00:32:09,629 --> 00:32:12,748
I don't know, just. My sleeve's
gonna need the alteration
631
00:32:12,832 --> 00:32:14,317
and the pants too.
632
00:32:14,401 --> 00:32:16,986
I mean the jacket's a little
snug around the shoulder.
633
00:32:17,070 --> 00:32:18,921
I don't think this my color.
634
00:32:19,005 --> 00:32:21,657
Prosper, you have tried on
five suits.
635
00:32:21,741 --> 00:32:23,075
You need to make the choice.
636
00:32:23,159 --> 00:32:25,918
- The wedding's in a few days.
- Yeah, well, I know.
637
00:32:27,447 --> 00:32:29,515
Hell, I might as well say it,
I'm nervous
638
00:32:29,599 --> 00:32:30,900
and I want it to be perfect.
639
00:32:30,984 --> 00:32:34,387
Well, marrying the woman you
love is gonna be perfect, baby.
640
00:32:34,471 --> 00:32:36,839
You know, it's...
641
00:32:36,923 --> 00:32:38,941
It's been a while since
I've had to live up
642
00:32:39,025 --> 00:32:40,609
to somebody else's
expectations.
643
00:32:40,693 --> 00:32:43,346
I mean, I love Sandy leflore.
I love that woman.
644
00:32:43,430 --> 00:32:44,587
But...
645
00:32:45,965 --> 00:32:49,852
You know, I wonder if
I still have enough left
646
00:32:49,936 --> 00:32:50,936
to give.
647
00:32:51,020 --> 00:32:52,788
Oh, prosper denton,
648
00:32:52,872 --> 00:32:56,625
you are a good man. One
of the best I have ever known.
649
00:32:56,709 --> 00:33:01,197
You're kind, honest.
Your heart is full of love.
650
00:33:01,281 --> 00:33:03,949
Not a mean bone in your body.
651
00:33:04,033 --> 00:33:07,036
You have all that.
That's a full tank.
652
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,122
And that's everything a woman
really wants.
653
00:33:10,206 --> 00:33:12,124
You are more than enough,
my brother.
654
00:33:12,208 --> 00:33:14,076
Sandy should be lucky
to have you.
655
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:15,945
Amen. Now...
656
00:33:16,029 --> 00:33:19,915
You go on back in there
and keep trying on these suits
657
00:33:19,999 --> 00:33:22,468
and we're gonna find
the right one.
658
00:33:22,552 --> 00:33:23,652
Yes, ma'am.
659
00:33:25,572 --> 00:33:28,013
- What's up, Mr. Prosper?
- Dylan, how you doing?
660
00:33:30,343 --> 00:33:32,084
All right.
661
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,598
- What's wrong?
- So we drove by Landry's
662
00:33:35,682 --> 00:33:36,899
and we saw construction
markers.
663
00:33:36,983 --> 00:33:38,791
Feel like
they planned this out.
664
00:33:43,223 --> 00:33:45,841
- This is Betty's land.
- It sure is.
665
00:33:45,925 --> 00:33:47,109
- Who?
- Betty.
666
00:33:47,193 --> 00:33:48,377
Parker's mama.
667
00:33:48,461 --> 00:33:50,296
Let 'em on the land, you don't
want nobody to know about it.
668
00:33:50,380 --> 00:33:53,916
- That's her indeed.
- But he don't have no right to do anything there.
669
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,420
I mean, if this is one
of Sam's schemes,
670
00:33:57,504 --> 00:33:59,255
she'd have no part in it.
671
00:33:59,339 --> 00:34:00,806
All right, she then keep up
with the land
672
00:34:00,890 --> 00:34:02,174
the Landry's to handle it.
673
00:34:02,258 --> 00:34:03,426
I doubt she knows anything.
674
00:34:03,510 --> 00:34:04,527
But it's her.
675
00:34:04,611 --> 00:34:06,278
Yeah, well on paper. Yeah.
676
00:34:06,362 --> 00:34:08,954
I can check with the parish
and review the land records.
677
00:34:09,782 --> 00:34:10,966
We need to find out.
678
00:34:11,050 --> 00:34:12,868
Baby, you sure you want
to open up that though?
679
00:34:12,952 --> 00:34:14,203
The whole lot back there.
680
00:34:14,287 --> 00:34:16,989
I've let her be.
I respected her choices.
681
00:34:17,073 --> 00:34:20,192
But this is different now.
This isn't just Landry.
682
00:34:20,276 --> 00:34:25,164
You see that school board?
Their voices, their faces.
683
00:34:25,248 --> 00:34:28,951
What they did? Banning books.
684
00:34:29,035 --> 00:34:30,486
Stealing land.
685
00:34:30,570 --> 00:34:33,889
No, I was here
when it was bad.
686
00:34:33,973 --> 00:34:36,142
We cannot let it back slide.
687
00:34:36,226 --> 00:34:38,160
- You're damn right.
- I know her.
688
00:34:38,244 --> 00:34:39,995
She would help
if she can.
689
00:34:40,079 --> 00:34:41,497
She knew better.
690
00:34:41,581 --> 00:34:46,519
And that's why I need to
see her face to face myself.
691
00:34:46,603 --> 00:34:47,870
Because I know her.
692
00:34:47,954 --> 00:34:50,322
And I know she would help
if she could.
693
00:34:50,406 --> 00:34:51,390
I just need to find her.
694
00:34:51,474 --> 00:34:53,422
Well, I got some people
who can help with that.
695
00:35:02,635 --> 00:35:04,620
All right, everybody.
696
00:35:04,704 --> 00:35:07,323
Just want to say thank you all
for coming out tonight.
697
00:35:07,407 --> 00:35:12,495
Those images at the showcase,
they really mean a lot to me.
698
00:35:12,579 --> 00:35:14,163
It's definitely
a turning point
699
00:35:14,247 --> 00:35:15,998
in how I've been thinking
about things
700
00:35:16,082 --> 00:35:19,692
and I just want to say
thank you for inspiring me.
701
00:35:20,086 --> 00:35:21,770
Um...
702
00:35:21,854 --> 00:35:25,975
My family is from a small town
just outside of New Orleans.
703
00:35:26,059 --> 00:35:28,611
- Kiki's from there too.
- Shout out to St. Joe.
704
00:35:28,695 --> 00:35:30,179
Shout out to St. Joe.
705
00:35:30,263 --> 00:35:34,250
Um, and I've been thinking about how
the people from St. Joe never give up.
706
00:35:34,334 --> 00:35:36,485
I was just a part
of this collective
707
00:35:36,569 --> 00:35:38,487
that sold nfts recently.
708
00:35:38,571 --> 00:35:42,491
I'm talking private jets,
trips around the world.
709
00:35:42,575 --> 00:35:44,126
Yeah, it was cool.
It was cool.
710
00:35:44,210 --> 00:35:45,510
But...
711
00:35:45,594 --> 00:35:47,947
I don't know,
it didn't feel right.
712
00:35:48,031 --> 00:35:51,767
And it didn't last,
the business crashed.
713
00:35:51,851 --> 00:35:54,036
I feel like the stuff
that they were selling,
714
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:55,955
it wasn't a part
of the solution.
715
00:35:56,039 --> 00:35:58,007
It was disposable.
716
00:35:58,091 --> 00:35:59,842
It's a temporary high.
717
00:35:59,926 --> 00:36:01,810
That's why...
718
00:36:01,894 --> 00:36:04,369
I want to make something
with each of you
719
00:36:04,797 --> 00:36:06,698
that lasts.
720
00:36:06,782 --> 00:36:10,052
Our own collective,
for us by us.
721
00:36:10,136 --> 00:36:12,671
One that centers
people of color and women
722
00:36:12,755 --> 00:36:16,125
of all kinds, queer people,
all those people
723
00:36:16,209 --> 00:36:19,718
who have been on the outside
of that popular box.
724
00:36:20,279 --> 00:36:21,680
People who never give up.
725
00:36:21,764 --> 00:36:24,633
- That's the dream.
- It could be a reality.
726
00:36:24,717 --> 00:36:27,870
Yeah. He's been kinda
showing me the ins and outs.
727
00:36:27,954 --> 00:36:32,808
I've learned a lot.
But it starts right here.
728
00:36:32,892 --> 00:36:38,497
In this moment, in this room,
we can do this.
729
00:36:38,581 --> 00:36:41,417
But I feel like we can raise
this thing up
730
00:36:41,501 --> 00:36:43,552
with our love of the game.
731
00:36:43,636 --> 00:36:45,354
You know, see how far
that gets us
732
00:36:45,438 --> 00:36:47,513
and then figure out
the rest.
733
00:36:53,279 --> 00:36:54,363
Cheers..
734
00:36:54,447 --> 00:36:56,098
Cheers.
735
00:36:56,182 --> 00:36:57,723
Cheers.
736
00:36:59,585 --> 00:37:02,094
I got it.
737
00:37:10,530 --> 00:37:11,970
It's Mr. Randolph.
738
00:37:13,349 --> 00:37:14,756
Come on in.
739
00:37:16,602 --> 00:37:17,943
Thank you.
740
00:37:20,206 --> 00:37:22,958
Hey, is everything okay
with our loan?
741
00:37:23,042 --> 00:37:27,062
No. But I want you
to hear this from me.
742
00:37:27,146 --> 00:37:29,765
I was fired today in
retaliation for helping y'all.
743
00:37:29,849 --> 00:37:31,467
- Fired?
- Mm-hmm.
744
00:37:31,551 --> 00:37:33,569
You're being punished
for doing your job.
745
00:37:33,653 --> 00:37:36,739
In that house, helping black
farmer ain't part of the job.
746
00:37:36,823 --> 00:37:38,641
Miller's been taking advantage
for years.
747
00:37:38,725 --> 00:37:40,893
Every time I report him,
I get demoted.
748
00:37:40,977 --> 00:37:42,311
He gets moved up.
749
00:37:42,395 --> 00:37:46,899
But I knew this was coming,
so I started making a copy
750
00:37:46,983 --> 00:37:48,901
of all of these
a few months back.
751
00:37:48,985 --> 00:37:50,425
Take a look at these.
752
00:37:54,190 --> 00:37:56,408
These are all
the applications
753
00:37:56,492 --> 00:37:59,895
Miller's been sitting on.
These are all black farmers.
754
00:37:59,979 --> 00:38:01,997
Here's Ms. Christina's.
755
00:38:02,081 --> 00:38:05,668
Darla, I'm so sorry.
I should have spoke up soon.
756
00:38:05,752 --> 00:38:07,819
But I figured if I gotta go,
757
00:38:07,903 --> 00:38:10,105
we'll make some noise
on my way out.
758
00:38:10,189 --> 00:38:13,482
So, and look at this.
This is Sam Landry's file.
759
00:38:16,729 --> 00:38:19,004
- Sam Landry?
- Mm-hmm.
760
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,153
They haven't made payments in
their loans in almost 18 months.
761
00:38:24,237 --> 00:38:26,755
That's what he's saying. You
got farmers begging for more time,
762
00:38:26,839 --> 00:38:29,091
when Landry gets a pass?
763
00:38:29,175 --> 00:38:30,993
Nonetheless he slide
'cause he can
764
00:38:31,077 --> 00:38:33,362
and then they slide him
a few dollars in return.
765
00:38:33,446 --> 00:38:35,597
- They bribe him.
- Exactly.
766
00:38:35,681 --> 00:38:39,368
These people in a bad way.
They're desperate.
767
00:38:39,452 --> 00:38:42,104
They carry a lot of debt,
a whole lot.
768
00:38:42,188 --> 00:38:44,273
Always have.
769
00:38:44,357 --> 00:38:45,974
It's not what it looked like
from the outside.
770
00:38:46,058 --> 00:38:48,834
We found out they've been
selling their mills for parts.
771
00:38:49,862 --> 00:38:53,549
Desperate people
do desperate things.
772
00:38:53,633 --> 00:38:55,184
They don't want to get caught
in that fire.
773
00:38:55,268 --> 00:38:57,676
It will make me want
to start one of our own.
774
00:39:03,626 --> 00:39:06,178
So is this where you'd sit
with my dad?
775
00:39:06,262 --> 00:39:08,253
Usually took it to go, but...
776
00:39:08,981 --> 00:39:10,756
Sometimes we'd sit out here.
777
00:39:11,300 --> 00:39:13,709
That's just... Wow.
778
00:39:15,438 --> 00:39:18,230
Just the thought of him
driving out here,
779
00:39:18,941 --> 00:39:20,526
having a burger.
780
00:39:20,610 --> 00:39:22,544
Hanging with you
for a little.
781
00:39:22,628 --> 00:39:25,837
Wanting to connect somehow.
782
00:39:26,282 --> 00:39:28,373
That just blows my mind.
783
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,238
It makes me feel closer
to him.
784
00:39:33,322 --> 00:39:35,424
You know, all these years
I wonder what would happen
785
00:39:35,508 --> 00:39:37,049
if he didn't find out.
786
00:39:38,594 --> 00:39:40,569
If I hadn't been scared.
787
00:39:41,514 --> 00:39:44,032
So I did what I wanted to do.
788
00:39:44,116 --> 00:39:46,425
I'd have gone
to that graduation party.
789
00:39:47,620 --> 00:39:50,746
Dance with you back then
in public.
790
00:39:51,757 --> 00:39:53,465
Who knows?
791
00:39:54,594 --> 00:39:56,752
Might have led to
a completely different life.
792
00:39:58,531 --> 00:39:59,915
Yeah.
793
00:39:59,999 --> 00:40:01,784
That's something else
when you think back to times
794
00:40:01,868 --> 00:40:03,852
it could have been
turning points.
795
00:40:03,936 --> 00:40:06,755
Most of the time, we don't
even recognize them as that.
796
00:40:06,839 --> 00:40:08,924
There's so many decisions
we make every day
797
00:40:09,008 --> 00:40:12,100
that lead us to the steps
on our path.
798
00:40:13,195 --> 00:40:18,083
And I just... I have
to believe that
799
00:40:18,167 --> 00:40:21,109
we all are where
we're supposed to be
800
00:40:21,554 --> 00:40:23,328
at any given moment.
801
00:40:23,823 --> 00:40:25,941
Even the tough ones,
802
00:40:26,025 --> 00:40:29,601
especially the beautiful ones.
803
00:40:34,700 --> 00:40:38,276
You know what? Bump that.
804
00:40:39,322 --> 00:40:41,346
No use wondering anymore.
805
00:40:42,041 --> 00:40:43,799
It is our time.
806
00:40:44,477 --> 00:40:45,917
Let's take it back.
807
00:40:49,048 --> 00:40:50,489
Let's dance.
808
00:40:51,484 --> 00:40:53,692
. Okay.
809
00:40:54,837 --> 00:40:56,595
- Let me see..
- "Weak" by swv playing...
810
00:40:58,357 --> 00:40:59,741
It's perfect.
811
00:40:59,825 --> 00:41:01,343
Yeah, it's perfect.
812
00:41:01,427 --> 00:41:02,845
