Queen Sugar (2016–…): Season 7, Episode 3 - Episode #7.3 - full transcript
Previously, on
"Queen Sugar"...
You ready for your interview?
- Yeah, I am.
- How about we talk over lunch?
- How about over a drink?
- Even better.
Not bad, rookie. Ten k,
your first time around.
Oh!
so did you call him?
I told him that
I need more time.
In or out? Make a choice.
Not much is ever in our
favor and we are still here.
development
will move forward.
It's my land now, Violet.
Ms. Parthena filed
more than three months ago.
Sorry, I can't help you.
- they're taking my...
- Hey!
They're taking...
Mmm,
sweet girl's tired.
Wanna go down?
Why don't you go down
for a nap?
The eviction
wasn't your fault.
Which one?
You're beating yourself up.
I wish you wouldn't.
Parthena, she will be okay.
She has us,
she has family,
she has people
that will take care of her.
Ms. Parthena's a proud woman.
She was looking
after herself...
...And they took that
from her...
...And her land.
- I mean, who's next?
- No one.
If we can help it.
We ain't got the kind
of money to help nobody, so...
Ralph Angel,
this is not all on you.
Times like these are exactly
why we started the co-op.
- To protect each other.
- And it didn't work
'cause we ain't protected.
it doesn't mean
we won't win the next one.
Look, Ralph Angel, I...
I know and you're right
and I agree with you.
we do need to turn a
larger profit, but we're close.
Gotta go.

Good morning!
You looking at a real
working artist, baby.
Remember that photo
I showed y'all before?
I sold it...
...As a nft.
- Wow.
- Nice.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Although selling doesn't
make you an artist.
It just means
the nft's commercial.
But it's the one you liked.
It's artistic and commercial.
Making money is exciting,
but it can't be your end goal.
Think about
what you're saying,
your message, what you're
putting out into the world.
They're gonna hold you
accountable for that.
♪ You can see my flow ♪
♪ I just wanna see your glow ♪
That's not the reaction
I was expecting.
Rahad's weary that the tech
bros are getting their grift on.
- So, are you two together or what?
- What?
Yeah, I mean, I'm cool
either way.
I'm just curious and...
...Wanted you to know
you can tell me anything.
Like, we're friends, right?
We used to be a lot more.
High school was
a long time ago.
- Ancient history.
- Yep.
- So, this guy?
- We're just friends.
Like, he's in the frat
with me. His name's Isaiah.
All right.
Good. No labels. Perfect.
Um, but you're single now?
Where is this going?
I am kind of
a legendary wing man.
- Oh, yeah?
- Mmm-hmm. You can ask any of my friends.
So, you looking?
Open?
I mean, I date.
Good.
My friends still can't
believe I dated Micah west.
Word, you been talking
to them about me?
Oh, I set them straight. I told
them you would never have made it
in St. Jo if it wasn't for me.
yeah,
you probably right.
Sorry that we had
to move our meeting up.
We had a family emergency
last night.
Is everything all right?
No, not really.
But we didn't wanna
have to reschedule again.
With everything
getting back to normal,
my niece, Darla, has been
on me to take
vi's pies national like you
and I tried to do.
When looking
at comparable businesses,
we think there's
a real opportunity here.
The market for frozen...
I'm sure your business plan
is brilliant, um, and...
I hope I didn't
waste your time, but...
...I don't think
I can help you right now.
Why not?
Well, I'm about to retire.
I wanted to tell you
in person.
Well, that's mighty
decent of you.
And congratulations
on the retirement
and I appreciate
your coming all this way.
And you don't think you're
getting off that easy, do you?
Look.
After the night we had
last night, we know...
...How all our hard work
can be gone in a minute.
So, we gonna get you a
piece of your favorite pie...
and then,
you gonna walk us through
the steps of distribution.
You know, your inability to take no
for an answer is gonna serve you well.
But it's gonna take
more than one piece.
Well, let's make a deal. What's your favorite?
And you know I can't
resist your pecan pie.
Pecan it is.
One slice of pecan for here
and two pies for the road.
Ah, that's a deal.
Mmm.
Hey, I must have...
I was waiting up for you.
What kept you out all night?
Parthena was evicted
late last night.
We had to be there for her.
I'm sorry to hear that.
That's terrible.
Why didn't you call me? I
would've come over to help.
I was meeting with mo when
I got the call. I wasn't thinking.
- I, I drove straight there.
- Mmm.
Co-op mo?
What time was that?
Yeah, after the council vote,
I had an idea.
Mo was telling me about a
ring shout she saw performed
at the site
where Freddie gray was killed.
Mmm.
They were up all night
thinking of how to stop
the landrys
from bulldozing our home.
If I could just get people to really
feel what happened there and...
They just can't...
I'm gonna stage
a ring shout on the land.
I feel like
I'm missing something.
You're planning a ring shout, you
know I'm a cultural anthropologist.
Well, I teach some of the
modern dances to my students.
Rashida bumbray,
baquin asetawa
along with the traditions
of the gullah people.
We'll even cover some of the origins
on our field trip to the Sudan next week.
Ah, who's calling the shout?
Are you using a traditional shout
or are you writing a new one?
'Cause I know some people do
it as a performance, but I would...
Man, I would think you would
want a more traditional dancer.
- What?
- You're a giant nerd.
- You know that?
- so I... Yeah, I have been told that.
It's not... I'm not
complaining. It's cute.
Mmm.
Parthena didn't deserve this.
Broke my heart seeing her cry.
She better
than I would've been.
Would've had to drag me out
kicking and screaming.
It's hard to say
until it happens.
I don't wish that on nobody.
What happened was malicious.
It was horrible...
...But we have power.
We have more power
than what they think.
Together we are stronger
than what they know,
but we gotta remember that.
I'm preparing
a complaint to file
with the us da tomorrow
on behalf of the co-op.
'Cause we not gonna
keep taking this abuse.
This has got to stop.
And we, that means all of us,
we gonna end it.
we got this.
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.
Vince?
Hello, sir.
you're here.
My goodness.
It's good to see you.
- Yeah, been awhile, son.
- Yeah.
Too long.
- looking really good.
- Yeah.
Well, it's good to see you.
Hi.
Hi.
How'd you find me?
Well, when the rental car GPS
started to go haywire on the back roads,
here to St. Jo, that was, uh,
that's when I needed
to ask for directions.
Directions that
consisted of...
...Drive ahead a spell and turn at the Rogers' place.
So, I asked, um,
what is a spell exactly?
Is it half a mile?
A quarter mile?
Uh, that didn't sit well.
I'm sorry for laughing.
When I finally found your
father's house, no one was home.
A pickup truck passed by, thankfully,
and they let me follow them here.
And said this is where
everyone was, so...
You know, and hey,
and I gotta say,
I never expected to see you up
there getting your Norma rae on.
Yeah, well, that makes
two of us
because I didn't expect
to see you just walk in.
Well, I had enough.
Enough of you putting me off.
Enough of giving me a few
hazy details here and there.
Enough of you telling me you're
coming home and then you don't.
- It's been over six months.
- I know.
Even Lila told me to stop moping
around the house and do something.
Yeah, well, our daughter is 19
and watches rom-come on the loop.
This is real life.
Oh, so, is it, really?
Like, I have no idea
because...
...If this is your real life, now I
thought this was the life you were trying
so hard to leave behind
all those years.
It was. It's different now.
Why? How?
Twenty years together, you
never wanted to come back here.
Never brought the kids.
I never wanted
to be here myself.
And now you don't seem
to wanna leave.
It's not that
I don't wanna leave.
I don't know
what I'm going back to.
You don't know what you're going
back to? You're going back home.
Back to our children.
Lila, Joseph.
Our kids are
in college, Vince.
Well then, you're coming
back to me.
Come on, Billie.
What's going on?
Vince, I wasn't ready to have
this conversation. I wasn't.
I'm sorry!
I don't know!
It's not real, but you managed
to sell the ntf anyway?
nft.
And it is real, it's just
not a physical piece of art.
It just stays on the Internet.
Okay.
I still don't get it.
Yeah, it's complicated, but...
...It's the future and...
...I'm on the forefront,
which means a lot to me.
Then that's all that matters.
- Yeah.
- It's your own thing.
All right, I get that.
All right, well, I'm gonna head
over to the actual cultural arts center
and hand out these flyers
about the ring shout.
And stop by the mft, maybe
they wanna see what this is about.
The more people, the better.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Well, I didn't know you were coming. What's up?
- I know, right?
- It's good to see you.
- You too. You too.
I was surprised to hear
I'm still on your list
or did you forget
to take me off?
No, it was intentional.
Even when we're on the outs,
you come through.
You have a gift.
You get people to turn up when
it's important and this is important.
True and I'll help you
get your numbers up,
but if we're gonna do this, just
remember that you needed me,
not the other way around.
No comment.
Come on here, girl.
♪ I woke up this morning
so fresh and dry ♪
So, how long were you married
before he passed?
About 25 good years
and about nine more.
He was a good man.
Had a hard life.
I'm grateful for that time.
It made me the person
I am today.
- Mmm.
- Hmm.
So did you, uh,
date anyone after?
No one special. And you?
I dated a few lovely women, but I
couldn't stop comparing them to Claire.
Then when covid came along,
I didn't...
...Reach out
to anybody or call.
But I think god look
over sometimes...
...'cause he brought me
to you.
- Prosper?
- Mmm?
You're the sky.
Everything else...
...Is just the weather.
Oh, that's beautiful.
I love it.
- Darla.
- Yeah?
Mr. Rawlings made
my head spin.
There's a lot of hoops
you have to jump through
before you get
the pies to the people.
If we do well here,
then we move up
to the French market next.
I don't know, maybe I'm biting
off more than I can chew.
I mean, I have loyal customers
in St. Jo.
I went from a home kitchen
spot to a local destination.
That is more success
than most businesses ever get.
Ms. Violet bordelon,
is that fear talking?
No, it's sense.
Sounds like fear.
Why are you pushing at me?
Because as long
as I've known you,
you never give up on things
that you want.
And you're saying that selling
my pies here will do that?
Yeah, I think
it's the next step.
Folks will be lining
all around the block for you.
And if we share a booth
with the co-op,
it's a win-win.
- I'll make sure to get that set up.
- Okay, great. Thanks.
So, he says that he has
a few stalls open
and that he'd cut you a
discount for the next two weeks
if you come in now
to fill up the space.
That's perfect.
Darla called earlier,
made it sound like it'd be a
whole month till we get me in there.
Well, he owes my mom a favor.
- Probably a few.
- Of course.
This place a lot bigger
than I remember.
It's a lot of competition.
You're not gonna screw it up.
Is it that obvious?
First year I was running the
business, I was scared out of my mind.
Second guessed every decision.
I mean, my mom built it from
nothing and now it was all on me
to keep it afloat.
They do not make horror
movies as scary as that.
Yeah, that's the thing.
I just wonder
if Darla gets it.
- Sometimes, I just feel like...
- okay.
I'm sorry, I'm gonna
stop you right there.
I know we're friends,
but we're not...
...Complain about spouses friends.
- Come on.
- I would not want my husband doing that to me.
Man, don't get me wrong, I got
one of the best girls in the world.
It's just when it comes to family
legacy and keeping up with all that,
I don't know if Darla gets it.
what don't I get?
What don't I get?
look, my bad, about earlier.
You know I don't mean
nothing by it.
mean
nothing by what?
Or do I not wanna know?
Mean nothing by sharing
all of his problems
with his ex-girlfriend
instead of his wife.
Yeah, I really didn't
need to know about that.
wasn't even
like that, that's my boss.
Just talking
about family business.
Thought she gets it,
that's all.
I get family businesses.
- I ain't say...
- I have been running this farm with you for years.
I'm helping vi
and the co-op was my idea.
- I get business.
- I know you get business.
I ain't say you don't
get business.
- That's not what I...
- you know, if you all would...
Vi.
I have been trying
to get you to go with me
to the farmer's market
for months.
It was my idea.
So for you to then take
what I've been trying to do
for this family,
for our co-op
- and go run it with someone else.
- It don't matter how we got...
It don't matter how
we got in the booth.
We got in the booth.
What's the problem?
I shouldn't have to keep
explaining myself to my husband
and you shouldn't be talking
about me to your boss.
Look, my bad. I'm sorry.
- I'm not hungry.
- Darla.
Damn.
a new coach, new qb,
it's a whole new era
for the saints.
The bears era is coming.
- Oh, sure.
- all right? Yeah, no doubt.
You know, St. Jo really is a
warm, little town. Good people here.
And your home...
...Is... It's well loved,
well lived in.
This house has let me back
in even when I didn't deserve it.
Yeah, I don't know what I
was picturing all these years.
I think I thought it was
this horrible place that...
...Billie never wanted
to come back to.
There were reasons.
well,
with all due respect,
it's time for me
to know the reasons.
I wanna understand what's
kept you away for so long.
It affects me too.
Something's changed, Billie,
and I need some answers.
I'm sorry if you weren't
ready to see me.
But I'm here now.
Well, it's a little late for me to start
giving fatherly advice, so I won't.
I just wanna say, Vince,
I'm really glad you're here.
You've always been welcomed
in my house and you always will.
Be true to your own heart.
I don't wanna hear it.
don't ya?
You went outside your
marriage to talk about problems
with a woman you used to date.
■ñ man, any fool could understand
how that was gonna go bad.
It's not like that.
She married, I'm married.
I was just venting.
She ain't wanna
hear it anyway.
That's pretty smart of her.
And you didn't listen because?
And Darla's family...
...They just different.
She walked away from
everything they wanna give her.
She was right to do it.
See, I can't walk away
from mine.
I lost everything
my daddy gave to me.
- I don't know if she understands.
- That's bullshit.
Look, Darla was crying right along
with you when y'all left ernestine's farm.
Baby on her chest. Barely
healed from childbirth.
Weeping her eyes out.
But still holding you up.
I'm supposed to be the one
holding her up.
Nah.
Nah, man, that ain't how it go.
Y'all supposed to hold each other up.
Look, I know that you, you
wanna take care of your woman.
Of your family.
But you gotta understand,
Darla ain't one of these
little girls
running around here
trying to get taken care of.
She wants to be your partner.
She wants to stand with you.
You know I know all too well what comes
along with being in the bordelon family.
Now, y'all, y'all ain't easy.
Worth every second,
but y'all ain't easy.
And you ain't done nothing
but making it harder on her.
You right.
Appreciate you.
Dry your hands and take this,
please.
I'm not taking your money.
This is not charity.
This is payment.
That business plan that you drew up
would a cost me an arm and a leg elsewhere.
You've been helping out right
and left and not asking for a thing.
- I like helping you.
- And I like having your help.
Which is why I am asking you
to let me pay for it.
Just like any other
business partner.
- Business partner.
- Your farmers market idea was good.
And you've had a half-dozen
other great ones just this week alone.
Ralph Angel doesn't think so.
Well, Ralph Angel is caught up
in his pride.
He'll take his head out of
his backside soon enough.
But you don't need Ralph Angel's
approval to know that you are smart, right?
You don't need anyone's.
But I still want it.
I'm good at this.
I want him to see that.
You sell yourself short, baby.
And I hate to think
that I might be part of that.
That I might be one of the
people that made you feel...
...Like you still had to earn
your way into this community.
And I'm sorry for that.
But now is a time to stand
tall and know your worth.

What?
I guess I'm just wondering
why it's me that's here helping you
with all this and not your new boo?
Or is this not his scene?
No, it's very much his scene.
Then why am I still here?
Because you won't get
your butt up off my chair.
lemme guess.
You're still doing that thing.
What thing?
That thing where you pull away
the moment your love life is working.
And you turn to everyone
but your partner
because you're scared
of depending on them.
What?
I've learned some things
in therapy.
It's not like that.
Pam.
You know, I'm...
I'm sorry. You, you got a lot
of my rough edges.
Oh, is that
what we're calling them?
The past.
All the mistakes,
the messiness with my family,
the way I let my ego about publishing
the book run ahead of my good sense.
I'm hoping that what comes of
the ring shout will rectify some of that.
Dominic is amazing.
I'm a different person
with him. But...
...Sometimes it still feels
too raw to let him into all that.
Well, that's gotta be the dumbest
thing I think I've ever heard you say.
Okay. No, no, no, no, no,
wait, wait. look.
You not perfect.
I mean, shit, who is?
And you could have
handled things better.
But it was not your book that dug
up your land and found a massacre.
It was the landrys
being selfish trash.
And 100 years ago,
it was people just like them.
That ain't on you.
And look. If you like
this Dominic guy...
...And you want things to work out,
you have to let him see you.
Warts and all.
You know, you spend so
much time trying to be right
that you forget all you need
to do is be you.
Let him in.
♪ let me blow your mind ♪
Oh, is this the new boo?
Not so new.
Dominic, this is, uh, my old friend
Chantal. Chantal, this is Dominic.
Well, he's an upgrade
from the white cop.
Thank you?
Really?
weren't you leaving?
Absolutely not.
You know, uh, no.
I need to warn this one
about all your bad habits.
Ohh. In that case,
she has to stay.
Oh. yeah.
We're gonna need more wine.
Okay. So how did you two meet?
your boy Zane
wasn't feeling any of these.
Yeah, you never gonna
get the tech bros to get this.
I thought you was all about
this nft life?
I'm about getting artists paid.
Yeah, just be careful, though.
That world is so random.
Ohh.
Wow. These are really good,
Micah.
Thanks, I just...
Really.
Zane said that they were too
"black history month", so...
And what does that even mean?
Just not on trend. Like, nfts
are all about selling a vibe, and...
...I don't know,
black pain isn't a vibe.
Yeah, they are all about
the disruptors,
until the real world,
then they bail.
You know what? I'm gonna
make them see it through my eyes.
What are you doing?
I...
...I'm selling
black history month.
okay.
Cheers to that.
To the disruptors.
To the disruptors.
'Sup, sugar foot?
You know, sometimes...
...Be so caught up just...
...Being whatever I think
a man's supposed to be...
...And I messed up.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to worry
about all that.
You know I be listening,
Darla.
Always.
May take a second
to get through my head, but...
I'm not jealous of trinh.
I mean, she's been
really good to us.
I just...
I just want you
to talk to me first.
We're better
when we're together.
I just want you to let me in.
And I want you
to be there for me.
You know,
when I look at you...
...I wanna be just like you.
Smart.
Beautiful.
And keeping daddy in line.
You can do that.
You okay, baby? Come on.
I've been afraid to have
this conversation with you,
because I don't know how to
express myself and not hurt you.
But the bottom line is,
what I'm feeling
has less to do with you
and more to do with me.
I have, um, found
some things out about my past.
and, uh,
you should know.
And I will tell you
when I'm ready.
I'm worried about you.
You know, how,
how you're managing,
and we're talking all the time while your
dad's recuperating from his fall, and...
But then days pass.
Then weeks.
Then months.
Always another excuse.
And now we're here.
Where I gotta get on a plane
to figure out what's going on.
It's not right.
Look. It's late.
Yeah.
Let's just...
Let's just, uh, get some sleep
and try again tomorrow.
Okay.
All right, then.
I'm gonna miss you so much.
Are we gonna be able to talk
at all while you're gone?
The WiFi is spotty in Sudan,
but we can figure it out.
Or you could come with.
I mean, you can write
from anywhere.
I can't just get up and leave.
You know, that ring shout
rehearsal today was transcendent.
It's gonna be a powerful day
tomorrow.
Hey.
Before this, I, I could have given
you a thorough history on ring shouts.
Their origins as a means of storytelling,
how the gullah still do them today,
and it would have been
pretty academic.
And I wouldn't have felt it.
But you made it real.
You have, you have a power...
...To, to make people feel things,
make me feel things, I didn't before.
Keep talking about
my magic powers.
look, I'm serious. I love the way you see the world.
And I have spent the last few
days worried about losing that.
What?
Why?
I, I can't help but think
that there are parts of you
that mo and Chantal will know
that I won't.
Because they're women?
Well, because they've seen
sides of you I haven't yet.
You can stay up all night
with mo,
and Chantal keeps you rooted
to this wild side you've got.
I don't wanna make you feel
like that.
I mean, but doesn't everybody
share different sides of
themselves with different people?
I, um...
I, I'm... I hope... I hope it's
okay that I'm bringing this up.
Of course.
I mean, look, mo and I
connected about dreams. Intuition.
Something I've been trying
to tap back into for a long time.
And Chantal only ever really
wanted the activist part of me.
I'm just wondering.
Is there a part of you
that only I will know?
Uh, well...
...I've only been with people who
understand one facet of me a time.
You...
...Get all of me.
I mean that.

Thank you.
People, workers, lived here.
They were gunned down
fighting for a better life.
There's a tendency in all
of us to lionize our dead.
To make martyrs and Angels
out of victims of injustice.
It gives us distance.
It blurs their faces.
It makes them an ideal,
rather than a group of living, breathing,
smoking, swearing and sexing human beings.
Just like us.
Our mother Trudy
is buried here.
And for my mother,
for my family,
for all the families
of those buried here,
I thank you, and I implore you
to listen to what they want.
Where they want
to stay buried.
Listen.

You ready for your interview?
- Yeah, I am.
- How about we talk over lunch?
- How about over a drink?
- Even better.
Not bad, rookie. Ten k,
your first time around.
Oh!
so did you call him?
I told him that
I need more time.
In or out? Make a choice.
Not much is ever in our
favor and we are still here.

more than three months ago.
Sorry, I can't help you.
- they're taking my...
- Hey!
They're taking...
Mmm,
sweet girl's tired.
Wanna go down?
Why don't you go down
for a nap?
The eviction
wasn't your fault.
Which one?
You're beating yourself up.
I wish you wouldn't.
Parthena, she will be okay.
She has us,
she has family,
she has people
that will take care of her.
Ms. Parthena's a proud woman.
She was looking
after herself...
...And they took that
from her...
...And her land.
- I mean, who's next?
- No one.
If we can help it.
We ain't got the kind
of money to help nobody, so...
Ralph Angel,
this is not all on you.
Times like these are exactly
why we started the co-op.
- To protect each other.
- And it didn't work
'cause we ain't protected.
it doesn't mean
we won't win the next one.
Look, Ralph Angel, I...
I know and you're right
and I agree with you.
we do need to turn a
larger profit, but we're close.
Gotta go.

Good morning!
You looking at a real
working artist, baby.
Remember that photo
I showed y'all before?
I sold it...
...As a nft.
- Wow.
- Nice.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Although selling doesn't
make you an artist.
It just means
the nft's commercial.
But it's the one you liked.
It's artistic and commercial.
Making money is exciting,
but it can't be your end goal.
Think about
what you're saying,
your message, what you're
putting out into the world.
They're gonna hold you
accountable for that.
♪ You can see my flow ♪
♪ I just wanna see your glow ♪
That's not the reaction
I was expecting.
Rahad's weary that the tech
bros are getting their grift on.
- So, are you two together or what?
- What?
Yeah, I mean, I'm cool
either way.
I'm just curious and...
...Wanted you to know
you can tell me anything.
Like, we're friends, right?
We used to be a lot more.
High school was
a long time ago.
- Ancient history.
- Yep.
- So, this guy?
- We're just friends.
Like, he's in the frat
with me. His name's Isaiah.
All right.
Good. No labels. Perfect.
Um, but you're single now?
Where is this going?
I am kind of
a legendary wing man.
- Oh, yeah?
- Mmm-hmm. You can ask any of my friends.
So, you looking?
Open?
I mean, I date.
Good.
My friends still can't
believe I dated Micah west.
Word, you been talking
to them about me?
Oh, I set them straight. I told
them you would never have made it
in St. Jo if it wasn't for me.
yeah,
you probably right.
Sorry that we had
to move our meeting up.
We had a family emergency
last night.
Is everything all right?
No, not really.
But we didn't wanna
have to reschedule again.
With everything
getting back to normal,
my niece, Darla, has been
on me to take
vi's pies national like you
and I tried to do.
When looking
at comparable businesses,
we think there's
a real opportunity here.
The market for frozen...
I'm sure your business plan
is brilliant, um, and...
I hope I didn't
waste your time, but...
...I don't think
I can help you right now.
Why not?
Well, I'm about to retire.
I wanted to tell you
in person.
Well, that's mighty
decent of you.
And congratulations
on the retirement
and I appreciate
your coming all this way.
And you don't think you're
getting off that easy, do you?
Look.
After the night we had
last night, we know...
...How all our hard work
can be gone in a minute.
So, we gonna get you a
piece of your favorite pie...
and then,
you gonna walk us through
the steps of distribution.
You know, your inability to take no
for an answer is gonna serve you well.
But it's gonna take
more than one piece.
Well, let's make a deal. What's your favorite?
And you know I can't
resist your pecan pie.
Pecan it is.
One slice of pecan for here
and two pies for the road.
Ah, that's a deal.
Mmm.
Hey, I must have...
I was waiting up for you.
What kept you out all night?
Parthena was evicted
late last night.
We had to be there for her.
I'm sorry to hear that.
That's terrible.
Why didn't you call me? I
would've come over to help.
I was meeting with mo when
I got the call. I wasn't thinking.
- I, I drove straight there.
- Mmm.
Co-op mo?
What time was that?
Yeah, after the council vote,
I had an idea.
Mo was telling me about a
ring shout she saw performed
at the site
where Freddie gray was killed.
Mmm.
They were up all night
thinking of how to stop
the landrys
from bulldozing our home.
If I could just get people to really
feel what happened there and...
They just can't...
I'm gonna stage
a ring shout on the land.
I feel like
I'm missing something.
You're planning a ring shout, you
know I'm a cultural anthropologist.
Well, I teach some of the
modern dances to my students.
Rashida bumbray,
baquin asetawa
along with the traditions
of the gullah people.
We'll even cover some of the origins
on our field trip to the Sudan next week.
Ah, who's calling the shout?
Are you using a traditional shout
or are you writing a new one?
'Cause I know some people do
it as a performance, but I would...
Man, I would think you would
want a more traditional dancer.
- What?
- You're a giant nerd.
- You know that?
- so I... Yeah, I have been told that.
It's not... I'm not
complaining. It's cute.
Mmm.
Parthena didn't deserve this.
Broke my heart seeing her cry.
She better
than I would've been.
Would've had to drag me out
kicking and screaming.
It's hard to say
until it happens.
I don't wish that on nobody.
What happened was malicious.
It was horrible...
...But we have power.
We have more power
than what they think.
Together we are stronger
than what they know,
but we gotta remember that.
I'm preparing
a complaint to file
with the us da tomorrow
on behalf of the co-op.
'Cause we not gonna
keep taking this abuse.
This has got to stop.
And we, that means all of us,
we gonna end it.
we got this.
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.
Vince?
Hello, sir.
you're here.
My goodness.
It's good to see you.
- Yeah, been awhile, son.
- Yeah.
Too long.
- looking really good.
- Yeah.
Well, it's good to see you.
Hi.
Hi.
How'd you find me?
Well, when the rental car GPS
started to go haywire on the back roads,
here to St. Jo, that was, uh,
that's when I needed
to ask for directions.
Directions that
consisted of...
...Drive ahead a spell and turn at the Rogers' place.
So, I asked, um,
what is a spell exactly?
Is it half a mile?
A quarter mile?
Uh, that didn't sit well.
I'm sorry for laughing.
When I finally found your
father's house, no one was home.
A pickup truck passed by, thankfully,
and they let me follow them here.
And said this is where
everyone was, so...
You know, and hey,
and I gotta say,
I never expected to see you up
there getting your Norma rae on.
Yeah, well, that makes
two of us
because I didn't expect
to see you just walk in.
Well, I had enough.
Enough of you putting me off.
Enough of giving me a few
hazy details here and there.
Enough of you telling me you're
coming home and then you don't.
- It's been over six months.
- I know.
Even Lila told me to stop moping
around the house and do something.
Yeah, well, our daughter is 19
and watches rom-come on the loop.
This is real life.
Oh, so, is it, really?
Like, I have no idea
because...
...If this is your real life, now I
thought this was the life you were trying
so hard to leave behind
all those years.
It was. It's different now.
Why? How?
Twenty years together, you
never wanted to come back here.
Never brought the kids.
I never wanted
to be here myself.
And now you don't seem
to wanna leave.
It's not that
I don't wanna leave.
I don't know
what I'm going back to.
You don't know what you're going
back to? You're going back home.
Back to our children.
Lila, Joseph.
Our kids are
in college, Vince.
Well then, you're coming
back to me.
Come on, Billie.
What's going on?
Vince, I wasn't ready to have
this conversation. I wasn't.
I'm sorry!
I don't know!
It's not real, but you managed
to sell the ntf anyway?
nft.
And it is real, it's just
not a physical piece of art.
It just stays on the Internet.
Okay.
I still don't get it.
Yeah, it's complicated, but...
...It's the future and...
...I'm on the forefront,
which means a lot to me.
Then that's all that matters.
- Yeah.
- It's your own thing.
All right, I get that.
All right, well, I'm gonna head
over to the actual cultural arts center
and hand out these flyers
about the ring shout.
And stop by the mft, maybe
they wanna see what this is about.
The more people, the better.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Well, I didn't know you were coming. What's up?
- I know, right?
- It's good to see you.
- You too. You too.
I was surprised to hear
I'm still on your list
or did you forget
to take me off?
No, it was intentional.
Even when we're on the outs,
you come through.
You have a gift.
You get people to turn up when
it's important and this is important.
True and I'll help you
get your numbers up,
but if we're gonna do this, just
remember that you needed me,
not the other way around.
No comment.
Come on here, girl.
♪ I woke up this morning
so fresh and dry ♪
So, how long were you married
before he passed?
About 25 good years
and about nine more.
He was a good man.
Had a hard life.
I'm grateful for that time.
It made me the person
I am today.
- Mmm.
- Hmm.
So did you, uh,
date anyone after?
No one special. And you?
I dated a few lovely women, but I
couldn't stop comparing them to Claire.
Then when covid came along,
I didn't...
...Reach out
to anybody or call.
But I think god look
over sometimes...
...'cause he brought me
to you.
- Prosper?
- Mmm?
You're the sky.
Everything else...
...Is just the weather.
Oh, that's beautiful.
I love it.
- Darla.
- Yeah?
Mr. Rawlings made
my head spin.
There's a lot of hoops
you have to jump through
before you get
the pies to the people.
If we do well here,
then we move up
to the French market next.
I don't know, maybe I'm biting
off more than I can chew.
I mean, I have loyal customers
in St. Jo.
I went from a home kitchen
spot to a local destination.
That is more success
than most businesses ever get.
Ms. Violet bordelon,
is that fear talking?
No, it's sense.
Sounds like fear.
Why are you pushing at me?
Because as long
as I've known you,
you never give up on things
that you want.
And you're saying that selling
my pies here will do that?
Yeah, I think
it's the next step.
Folks will be lining
all around the block for you.
And if we share a booth
with the co-op,
it's a win-win.
- I'll make sure to get that set up.
- Okay, great. Thanks.
So, he says that he has
a few stalls open
and that he'd cut you a
discount for the next two weeks
if you come in now
to fill up the space.
That's perfect.
Darla called earlier,
made it sound like it'd be a
whole month till we get me in there.
Well, he owes my mom a favor.
- Probably a few.
- Of course.
This place a lot bigger
than I remember.
It's a lot of competition.
You're not gonna screw it up.
Is it that obvious?
First year I was running the
business, I was scared out of my mind.
Second guessed every decision.
I mean, my mom built it from
nothing and now it was all on me
to keep it afloat.
They do not make horror
movies as scary as that.
Yeah, that's the thing.
I just wonder
if Darla gets it.
- Sometimes, I just feel like...
- okay.
I'm sorry, I'm gonna
stop you right there.
I know we're friends,
but we're not...
...Complain about spouses friends.
- Come on.
- I would not want my husband doing that to me.
Man, don't get me wrong, I got
one of the best girls in the world.
It's just when it comes to family
legacy and keeping up with all that,
I don't know if Darla gets it.
what don't I get?
What don't I get?
look, my bad, about earlier.
You know I don't mean
nothing by it.
mean
nothing by what?
Or do I not wanna know?
Mean nothing by sharing
all of his problems
with his ex-girlfriend
instead of his wife.
Yeah, I really didn't
need to know about that.
wasn't even
like that, that's my boss.
Just talking
about family business.
Thought she gets it,
that's all.
I get family businesses.
- I ain't say...
- I have been running this farm with you for years.
I'm helping vi
and the co-op was my idea.
- I get business.
- I know you get business.
I ain't say you don't
get business.
- That's not what I...
- you know, if you all would...
Vi.
I have been trying
to get you to go with me
to the farmer's market
for months.
It was my idea.
So for you to then take
what I've been trying to do
for this family,
for our co-op
- and go run it with someone else.
- It don't matter how we got...
It don't matter how
we got in the booth.
We got in the booth.
What's the problem?
I shouldn't have to keep
explaining myself to my husband
and you shouldn't be talking
about me to your boss.
Look, my bad. I'm sorry.
- I'm not hungry.
- Darla.
Damn.
a new coach, new qb,
it's a whole new era
for the saints.
The bears era is coming.
- Oh, sure.
- all right? Yeah, no doubt.
You know, St. Jo really is a
warm, little town. Good people here.
And your home...
...Is... It's well loved,
well lived in.
This house has let me back
in even when I didn't deserve it.
Yeah, I don't know what I
was picturing all these years.
I think I thought it was
this horrible place that...
...Billie never wanted
to come back to.
There were reasons.
well,
with all due respect,
it's time for me
to know the reasons.
I wanna understand what's
kept you away for so long.
It affects me too.
Something's changed, Billie,
and I need some answers.
I'm sorry if you weren't
ready to see me.
But I'm here now.
Well, it's a little late for me to start
giving fatherly advice, so I won't.
I just wanna say, Vince,
I'm really glad you're here.
You've always been welcomed
in my house and you always will.
Be true to your own heart.
I don't wanna hear it.
don't ya?
You went outside your
marriage to talk about problems
with a woman you used to date.
■ñ man, any fool could understand
how that was gonna go bad.
It's not like that.
She married, I'm married.
I was just venting.
She ain't wanna
hear it anyway.
That's pretty smart of her.
And you didn't listen because?
And Darla's family...
...They just different.
She walked away from
everything they wanna give her.
She was right to do it.
See, I can't walk away
from mine.
I lost everything
my daddy gave to me.
- I don't know if she understands.
- That's bullshit.
Look, Darla was crying right along
with you when y'all left ernestine's farm.
Baby on her chest. Barely
healed from childbirth.
Weeping her eyes out.
But still holding you up.
I'm supposed to be the one
holding her up.
Nah.
Nah, man, that ain't how it go.
Y'all supposed to hold each other up.
Look, I know that you, you
wanna take care of your woman.
Of your family.
But you gotta understand,
Darla ain't one of these
little girls
running around here
trying to get taken care of.
She wants to be your partner.
She wants to stand with you.
You know I know all too well what comes
along with being in the bordelon family.
Now, y'all, y'all ain't easy.
Worth every second,
but y'all ain't easy.
And you ain't done nothing
but making it harder on her.
You right.
Appreciate you.
Dry your hands and take this,
please.
I'm not taking your money.
This is not charity.
This is payment.
That business plan that you drew up
would a cost me an arm and a leg elsewhere.
You've been helping out right
and left and not asking for a thing.
- I like helping you.
- And I like having your help.
Which is why I am asking you
to let me pay for it.
Just like any other
business partner.
- Business partner.
- Your farmers market idea was good.
And you've had a half-dozen
other great ones just this week alone.
Ralph Angel doesn't think so.
Well, Ralph Angel is caught up
in his pride.
He'll take his head out of
his backside soon enough.
But you don't need Ralph Angel's
approval to know that you are smart, right?
You don't need anyone's.
But I still want it.
I'm good at this.
I want him to see that.
You sell yourself short, baby.
And I hate to think
that I might be part of that.
That I might be one of the
people that made you feel...
...Like you still had to earn
your way into this community.
And I'm sorry for that.
But now is a time to stand
tall and know your worth.

Micah.
Thanks, I just...
Really.
Zane said that they were too
"black history month", so...
And what does that even mean?
Just not on trend. Like, nfts
are all about selling a vibe, and...
...I don't know,
black pain isn't a vibe.
Yeah, they are all about
the disruptors,
until the real world,
then they bail.
You know what? I'm gonna
make them see it through my eyes.
What are you doing?
I...
...I'm selling
black history month.
okay.
Cheers to that.
To the disruptors.
To the disruptors.
'Sup, sugar foot?
You know, sometimes...
...Be so caught up just...
...Being whatever I think
a man's supposed to be...
...And I messed up.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to worry
about all that.
You know I be listening,
Darla.
Always.
May take a second
to get through my head, but...
I'm not jealous of trinh.
I mean, she's been
really good to us.
I just...
I just want you
to talk to me first.
We're better
when we're together.
I just want you to let me in.
And I want you
to be there for me.
You know,
when I look at you...
...I wanna be just like you.
Smart.
Beautiful.
And keeping daddy in line.
You can do that.
You okay, baby? Come on.
I've been afraid to have
this conversation with you,
because I don't know how to
express myself and not hurt you.
But the bottom line is,
what I'm feeling
has less to do with you
and more to do with me.
I have, um, found
some things out about my past.
and, uh,
you should know.
And I will tell you
when I'm ready.
I'm worried about you.
You know, how,
how you're managing,
and we're talking all the time while your
dad's recuperating from his fall, and...
But then days pass.
Then weeks.
Then months.
Always another excuse.
And now we're here.
Where I gotta get on a plane
to figure out what's going on.
It's not right.
Look. It's late.
Yeah.
Let's just...
Let's just, uh, get some sleep
and try again tomorrow.
Okay.
All right, then.
I'm gonna miss you so much.
Are we gonna be able to talk
at all while you're gone?
The WiFi is spotty in Sudan,
but we can figure it out.
Or you could come with.
I mean, you can write
from anywhere.
I can't just get up and leave.
You know, that ring shout
rehearsal today was transcendent.
It's gonna be a powerful day
tomorrow.
Hey.
Before this, I, I could have given
you a thorough history on ring shouts.
Their origins as a means of storytelling,
how the gullah still do them today,
and it would have been
pretty academic.
And I wouldn't have felt it.
But you made it real.
You have, you have a power...
...To, to make people feel things,
make me feel things, I didn't before.
Keep talking about
my magic powers.
look, I'm serious. I love the way you see the world.
And I have spent the last few
days worried about losing that.
What?
Why?
I, I can't help but think
that there are parts of you
that mo and Chantal will know
that I won't.
Because they're women?
Well, because they've seen
sides of you I haven't yet.
You can stay up all night
with mo,
and Chantal keeps you rooted
to this wild side you've got.
I don't wanna make you feel
like that.
I mean, but doesn't everybody
share different sides of
themselves with different people?
I, um...
I, I'm... I hope... I hope it's
okay that I'm bringing this up.
Of course.
I mean, look, mo and I
connected about dreams. Intuition.
Something I've been trying
to tap back into for a long time.
And Chantal only ever really
wanted the activist part of me.
I'm just wondering.
Is there a part of you
that only I will know?
Uh, well...
...I've only been with people who
understand one facet of me a time.
You...
...Get all of me.
I mean that.

Thank you.
People, workers, lived here.
They were gunned down
fighting for a better life.
There's a tendency in all
of us to lionize our dead.
To make martyrs and Angels
out of victims of injustice.
It gives us distance.
It blurs their faces.
It makes them an ideal,
rather than a group of living, breathing,
smoking, swearing and sexing human beings.
Just like us.
Our mother Trudy
is buried here.
And for my mother,
for my family,
for all the families
of those buried here,
I thank you, and I implore you
to listen to what they want.
Where they want
to stay buried.
Listen.
