'William Jeremiah Sanders.'

What it says
on my birth certificate.
26
00:01:56,986 --> 00:01:59,902
And my mom, Beatrice
passed away six months ago.
27
00:01:59,989 --> 00:02:02,122
Just always told me
he was a drunken bum.
28
00:02:02,209 --> 00:02:03,775
So, why the sudden interest?
29
00:02:03,862 --> 00:02:05,255
My kid came home
the other day

00:02:05,342 --> 00:02:07,214
'and asked me
to help him with this.'
31

Reminded me of when I had
the same project back in school.

00:02:11,218 --> 00:02:12,741
Now my son is asking
about my dad.
33
00:02:12,828 --> 00:02:14,308
You couldn't tell him anything.
34
00:02:14,395 --> 00:02:16,875
Just wanna maybe find out
somethin' about him.
35
00:02:16,962 --> 00:02:18,225
You know,
fill in the blanks.
36
00:02:18,312 --> 00:02:20,009
So your mom told you
he was murdered?
37
00:02:20,096 --> 00:02:21,837
No, no. Old"PhillyTribune"
had a blurb
38
00:02:21,924 --> 00:02:24,056
about a Billy Sanders
killed in 1970.

00:02:43,554 --> 00:02:46,340
Um, disorderly conduct
outside a bar.
46
00:02:46,427 --> 00:02:48,298
And just the one time.
Could happen to anybody.
47
00:02:48,385 --> 00:02:51,954

on Wharton Street, 1500 Block.

he was doing down there?'

- Don't know.

- Dad's side of the family?
- 'Nothing.'

Well, the dad was a reverend.

Billy played the organ
at his church.

have been the old flimflam.

- A trick gets lured in..
- Pimp cracks his skull.

00:04:57,906 --> 00:04:59,211
Takes his cash.
90
00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:00,909

like a bottle.

near the victim.'
92

the wound to his skull.

Could only go a couple times
before I got drafted.

Ran every Friday,
same night Billy was killed.
100
00:05:20,145 --> 00:05:21,756
I heard of this place,
it was in the basement
101
00:05:21,843 --> 00:05:23,105

102
00:05:23,192 --> 00:05:25,977

smelly, crowded.

to have a Jack of Clubs.

Long shot, but let's check out
the bottle.
106
00:05:33,811 --> 00:05:35,770
See if we can track where
it might have come from.
107
00:05:35,857 --> 00:05:38,033
- What about next of kin?
- Reverend Thomas Sanders.
108
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,383
Never mentioned his son played
the clubs back in the day.
109
00:05:40,470 --> 00:05:42,646
You remember any of the
musicians from that place, Will?
110
00:05:42,733 --> 00:05:47,521
Not by name. Owner was
a tough broad, the Queen Bee.
111
00:05:47,608 --> 00:05:49,087
She'd sit at the end
of the bar

smoke like a chimney.
113
00:05:50,524 --> 00:05:52,656
Maybe she's still buzzin'
around.
114
00:05:52,743 --> 00:05:54,528
Can tell us if Billy was there
the night he died.
115
00:05:54,615 --> 00:05:56,051
And talk to the dad too.
116
00:05:56,138 --> 00:05:58,532
See if any of this new info
sparks a memory.
117
00:06:00,838 --> 00:06:03,014

[dramatic music]
139
00:06:59,636 --> 00:07:01,682
We played music for the Lord.
140
00:07:01,769 --> 00:07:04,249
Billy played an organ
the angels envied.

[Vera]
'Is that Billy's brother?'
142
00:07:05,642 --> 00:07:07,862
Tom Jr. was going
to be a preacher
143
00:07:07,949 --> 00:07:09,951
in the Sanders tradition.
144
00:07:10,038 --> 00:07:12,301
My eldest was taken
by the jungle.
145
00:07:12,388 --> 00:07:14,129
My youngest, by the streets.
146
00:07:14,216 --> 00:07:16,871
Both jungles,
just different terrain.
147
00:07:16,958 --> 00:07:18,873
I served over there as well.
148
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,309
You got something
on my son's murder?
149
00:07:20,396 --> 00:07:22,093
[Vera]
'We're looking into it.'
150
00:07:22,180 --> 00:07:24,269
Was there anyone at church
that had a problem with Billy?
151
00:07:24,356 --> 00:07:25,880
On the contrary
152
00:07:25,967 --> 00:07:28,186
when he died, they buried him
like a king.
153
00:07:28,273 --> 00:07:30,014
His casket, his headstone
154
00:07:30,101 --> 00:07:32,974
the flowers, all courtesy
of the congregation.
155
00:07:33,061 --> 00:07:34,541
Any chance we could get a list
156
00:07:34,628 --> 00:07:36,238
of the congregation members
back then?
157
00:07:36,325 --> 00:07:38,762
I'll check and see,
but why?
158
00:07:38,849 --> 00:07:42,200
Tom, you familiar
with The Hive?
159
00:07:42,287 --> 00:07:43,767
After-hours jazz club
back in the day?
160
00:07:43,854 --> 00:07:45,334
[Tom]
'Why would I be?'
161
00:07:45,421 --> 00:07:47,815
I don't associate
with those kinds of people.
162
00:07:47,902 --> 00:07:50,382
Ever mention a girl
named Beatrice Sloan?
163
00:07:50,470 --> 00:07:52,646
What are you implying
about my son, detective?
164
00:07:52,733 --> 00:07:55,431
Nothing. Just trying to find out
what happened.
165
00:07:55,518 --> 00:07:58,042
Well, when his brother died..
166
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:01,350
...it was rough on everyone.
167
00:08:01,437 --> 00:08:02,960
Me and Billy
drifted apart a bit.
168
00:08:03,047 --> 00:08:04,962
He in some kind of trouble?
Drugs, money?
169
00:08:05,049 --> 00:08:07,182
No, no.
Not that I knew of.
170
00:08:07,269 --> 00:08:10,315
I just think he may have started
to question his faith.
171
00:08:10,402 --> 00:08:12,230
Know anyone
he was hanging with
172
00:08:12,317 --> 00:08:13,667
outside the church
before he died?
173
00:08:13,754 --> 00:08:15,625
I'm sorry. I don't.
174
00:08:15,712 --> 00:08:18,672
But may the weight of the Lord
be on their soul.
175

good to Billy?

I know that song. It was
a pretty big hit, huh?

I still have the sheet music.
530
00:23:49,166 --> 00:23:52,648
You know, Billy footed the bill
for all those musicians.
531
00:23:52,735 --> 00:23:54,258
Where did he get that money?
532
00:23:54,345 --> 00:23:56,870
Well, not from what Ronde
paid him, I'll tell you that.
533
00:23:56,957 --> 00:23:59,089
I don't remember
a woman's voice on the track.
534
00:23:59,176 --> 00:24:01,048
When they recorded it,
they swapped me out
535
00:24:01,135 --> 00:24:04,268
for three men who sang
falsetto and could dance.
536
00:24:04,355 --> 00:24:07,837
Ronde's call.
That's just the way it was.
537
00:24:07,924 --> 00:24:09,709
Oh, Billy didn't get the cash
from the old man.
538
00:24:09,796 --> 00:24:11,798
He'd never approve.
539
00:24:11,885 --> 00:24:13,713

into the donations basket.
540

541
00:24:15,541 --> 00:24:19,327
Well, the father could tell us
who handled the church finances.

sole credit for the track

you cuffed his song?

the dark bottles back in 1970.
701
00:30:53,503 --> 00:30:55,157
Well, they can ID it,
maybe they know
702
00:30:55,244 --> 00:30:56,202
where the bottle was shipped.
703
00:30:56,289 --> 00:30:57,246
I already sent them the label.
704
00:30:57,333 --> 00:30:58,291
Had an interesting chat
705
00:30:58,378 --> 00:30:59,727
with my buddy in Vice.
706
00:30:59,814 --> 00:31:01,163
Geraldine was more
than a numbers runner.
707
00:31:01,250 --> 00:31:02,643
You don't say.
708
00:31:02,730 --> 00:31:03,644
Yeah, investigated her
a few years back
709
00:31:03,731 --> 00:31:05,037
for loan sharking.
710
00:31:05,124 --> 00:31:06,821
Not enough to charge her,
I take it.
711
00:31:06,908 --> 00:31:08,867
No, but one sap they picked up
begged to stay in lockdown.
712
00:31:08,954 --> 00:31:11,347
Scared her goons would break
his legs over 200 bucks.
713
00:31:11,434 --> 00:31:13,001
Billy owed a lot more than that.
714
00:31:13,088 --> 00:31:14,655
That's why he needed money
from Ronde.
715
00:31:14,742 --> 00:31:16,613
Maybe heading to pay her
back when he got jumped.
716
00:31:16,700 --> 00:31:19,007
Oh! Hey, come on, Serpico.
717
00:31:19,094 --> 00:31:21,357
It's your lucky day. Time
for some real detective work.
718
00:31:26,101 --> 00:31:28,321
Nice to see you again,
Queen Bee.
719
00:31:28,408 --> 00:31:30,366
Don't see numbers
running on the menu.
720
00:31:30,453 --> 00:31:32,891
I told you everything
I know about Billy.
721
00:31:32,978 --> 00:31:35,589
Left out you were pretty heavy
in the loan sharking game.
722
00:31:35,676 --> 00:31:37,547
Not afraid to pop some kneecaps.
723
00:31:37,634 --> 00:31:38,940
Billy owed you some major coin.
724
00:31:39,027 --> 00:31:41,073
Okay, you got a warrant?
725
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,466
Oh, you want a warrant?
Yeah, that's cool.
726
00:31:43,553 --> 00:31:45,468
Yeah, it'll just take,
say, a few weeks.
727
00:31:45,555 --> 00:31:48,123
In the meantime, your
friendly neighborhood officer
728
00:31:48,210 --> 00:31:51,431
will stand post, make sure
business is on the up and up.
729
00:31:51,518 --> 00:31:53,346
Okay, alright, listen.
730
00:31:53,433 --> 00:31:55,087
Billy did owe me money
731
00:31:55,174 --> 00:31:57,350
and he paid me back.
732
00:31:57,437 --> 00:31:59,961

I've never seen Tom so shook up.
747
00:32:38,913 --> 00:32:40,915
I mean, he had a reputation
to protect.
748
00:32:41,002 --> 00:32:42,351
That's a pretty big scandal
749
00:32:42,438 --> 00:32:43,918
you hitting it
with the reverend.
750
00:32:44,005 --> 00:32:45,615
Not my proudest moment.
751
00:32:45,702 --> 00:32:46,921
But being with him..
752
00:32:48,314 --> 00:32:49,837
...made me feel better
about myself.
753
00:32:51,665 --> 00:32:53,275
Tom know Billy saw
the cufflinks?
754
00:32:53,362 --> 00:32:56,017
I lied, said he hadn't.
Tom didn't believe me.
755
00:32:56,104 --> 00:32:57,845
So, he went after him?
756
00:32:57,932 --> 00:32:59,194
I don't know for certain.
757
00:32:59,281 --> 00:33:00,326
I mean, considering
what happened..
758
00:33:01,631 --> 00:33:02,937
...I sure hope not.
759
00:33:05,113 --> 00:33:08,073
Hey, Billy didn't take
from the church, but get this.
760
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,770
Clerk said she got
an anonymous donation
761
00:33:09,857 --> 00:33:11,772
right after Billy died
with orders for his headstone.
762
00:33:11,859 --> 00:33:13,078
Twenty five hundred bucks.
763
00:33:13,165 --> 00:33:14,514
That's the exact amount
Billy had on him.
764
00:33:14,601 --> 00:33:15,819
Hey, found where
our label came from.
765
00:33:17,125 --> 00:33:18,735
Philadelphia Winery.
766
00:33:18,822 --> 00:33:20,172
Communal wine.
767
00:33:20,259 --> 00:33:21,869
Explains why our label
wasn't in a state store.
768
00:33:21,956 --> 00:33:24,219
Oh, it was shipped
to church supply shops
769
00:33:24,306 --> 00:33:26,830
including one down the street
from Tom's church.
770
00:33:26,917 --> 00:33:28,223
Father catches son
on the street
771
00:33:28,310 --> 00:33:29,616
and get into an argument.
772
00:33:29,703 --> 00:33:31,096
Dad gets the last word.
773
00:33:31,183 --> 00:33:32,662
Well, it looks like
that anonymous donation
774
00:33:32,749 --> 00:33:33,924
was made with blood money.
775
00:33:39,452 --> 00:33:40,844
You told us
you didn't know anything
776
00:33:40,931 --> 00:33:43,021
about a place
called The Hive, Tom.
777
00:33:44,370 --> 00:33:45,936
That's true.
778
00:33:46,024 --> 00:33:48,243
So you don't know anything
about Geraldine Watkins either?
779
00:33:48,330 --> 00:33:51,420
Miss Watkins is a part
of the congregation.
780
00:33:51,507 --> 00:33:52,813
Has been for 50 years.
781
00:33:52,900 --> 00:33:54,423
On Sunday, sure.
782
00:33:54,510 --> 00:33:57,078
But you were tending flock
with a separate congregation
783
00:33:57,165 --> 00:33:58,427
on the side.
784
00:33:58,514 --> 00:34:00,560
[sighs]
785
00:34:00,647 --> 00:34:04,303
Believe me, I've been making
amends over that for 39 years.
786
00:34:05,782 --> 00:34:07,045
[Jeffries]
Recognize this?
787
00:34:09,786 --> 00:34:11,571
Bottle of wine from our church.
788
00:34:11,658 --> 00:34:13,703
Same kind of bottle
that killed Billy.
789
00:34:13,790 --> 00:34:16,750
Must have hurt when he found out
you were a liar and a cheat.
790
00:34:16,837 --> 00:34:18,447
Not to mention
a hypocrite, Tom.
791
00:34:18,534 --> 00:34:22,277
I-I know I was flawed
as a husband and as a preacher
792
00:34:22,364 --> 00:34:23,670
but I loved my son.
793
00:34:23,757 --> 00:34:25,541
Did you go after Billy
that night, Tom?
794
00:34:27,413 --> 00:34:29,197
I did.
795
00:34:29,284 --> 00:34:31,591
Searched all over.
796
00:34:31,678 --> 00:34:35,508
I only wish it would have gone
differently when I found him.
797
00:34:42,776 --> 00:34:43,820
I was at the house.
798
00:34:45,300 --> 00:34:47,172
Mother said
you packed some things.
799
00:34:47,259 --> 00:34:48,477
Everything okay, son?
800
00:34:50,697 --> 00:34:51,698
Something on your mind?
801
00:34:56,311 --> 00:34:58,270
I'm leaving home, dad.
802
00:34:58,357 --> 00:35:00,228
I'm gonna start my life
away from your church.
803
00:35:00,315 --> 00:35:01,490
You'll do no such thing.
804
00:35:01,577 --> 00:35:03,013
The music I do,
it's not some sin.
805
00:35:04,667 --> 00:35:07,670
It's me. You'd know that
if you'd just listen to it.
806
00:35:07,757 --> 00:35:09,498
What does it profit a man
to gain the whole world--
807
00:35:09,585 --> 00:35:11,021
The whole world
and lose his soul?
808
00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:12,414
I can quote scripture too.
809
00:35:12,501 --> 00:35:13,763
I just see things different.
810
00:35:13,850 --> 00:35:16,549
What I do, it's like
my own sermon, you know?
811
00:35:18,246 --> 00:35:20,161
How dare you disgrace me
like this?
812
00:35:20,248 --> 00:35:22,903
- How am I disgracing you?
- Hanging with that element.
813
00:35:22,990 --> 00:35:25,253
Going around town,
borrowin' money.
814
00:35:25,340 --> 00:35:26,776
How do you know about that, huh?
815
00:35:28,213 --> 00:35:29,127
From Geraldine?
816
00:35:31,346 --> 00:35:33,479
You've got no right to question
me, boy. I'm your father.
817
00:35:33,566 --> 00:35:34,915
Then act like it for once.
818
00:35:38,092 --> 00:35:39,485
Your brother's
lookin' down on you now.
819
00:35:39,572 --> 00:35:41,530
I'm not Tommy.
Don't you get it?
820
00:35:41,617 --> 00:35:43,141
He told me he was glad
that he got drafted.
821
00:35:43,228 --> 00:35:44,446
Don't you talk
about your brother.
822
00:35:44,533 --> 00:35:46,274
So he could get away from you.
823
00:35:46,361 --> 00:35:47,493
They took the wrong son.
824
00:35:55,153 --> 00:35:56,328
You judge me..
825
00:35:58,286 --> 00:36:00,158
...but your preaching
is as empty as your soul.
826
00:36:07,991 --> 00:36:12,300
The sins of the father
do visit the son.
827
00:36:12,387 --> 00:36:14,476
What did you do
after Billy left, Tom?
828
00:36:14,563 --> 00:36:16,391
Went home to my wife.
829
00:36:18,001 --> 00:36:19,438
Couldn't even look her
in the eye.
830
00:36:19,525 --> 00:36:21,570
[Vera]
'One thing
keeps troubling us.'
831
00:36:21,657 --> 00:36:24,094
A stranger makes a donation
for Billy's headstone
832
00:36:24,182 --> 00:36:25,879
and you're cool with it?
833
00:36:25,966 --> 00:36:28,447
That headstone was gorgeous.
834
00:36:28,534 --> 00:36:31,928
It was inscribed with Psalm 145.
835
00:36:32,015 --> 00:36:34,670
"The Lord is good to all
836
00:36:34,757 --> 00:36:36,237
and his tender mercies--"
837
00:36:36,324 --> 00:36:39,458
"Are on all his works."
838
00:36:39,545 --> 00:36:41,895
Whoever did that
knew my son better than me.
839
00:36:43,505 --> 00:36:45,464
All he wanted was my acceptance.
840
00:36:46,682 --> 00:36:49,250
And I couldn't give it to him.
841
00:36:49,337 --> 00:36:51,165
[Jeffries]
'Billy has a son
who wants to meet you.'
842
00:36:53,820 --> 00:36:55,604
Maybe now, you got
a second chance.
843
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,609
Who else had access
to the wine, Tom?
844
00:37:02,698 --> 00:37:05,135
We heard it was
the choir director.
845
00:37:05,223 --> 00:37:07,181
Still is.
846
00:37:07,268 --> 00:37:09,444
[Valens]
'We got this at the church.'
847
00:37:09,531 --> 00:37:10,880
Who's that..
848
00:37:10,967 --> 00:37:12,926
...listed as the choir director
from '70 to '71?
849
00:37:14,536 --> 00:37:16,712
Delia Patterson.
850
00:37:16,799 --> 00:37:18,497
You don't recognize
your own mother, Chandra?
851
00:37:18,584 --> 00:37:21,282
What does any of this have
to do with Billy?
852
00:37:21,369 --> 00:37:23,980
It was exciting being at
the studio with Billy, huh?
853
00:37:24,067 --> 00:37:27,201
- The one time, yeah, but--
- It wasn't for you.
854
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:31,423
[sighs]
I always just felt better
in the church.
855
00:37:31,510 --> 00:37:34,339
But we got the contracts
from Ronde's office.
856
00:37:34,426 --> 00:37:36,645
You didn't leave your backup
gig like you told us.
857
00:37:36,732 --> 00:37:38,908
Uh, you were fired
about a week after Billy died.
858
00:37:38,995 --> 00:37:42,042
That's why you dedicated
your talents to the church.
859
00:37:42,129 --> 00:37:44,653
You might have had the talent,
but you didn't have the look.
860
00:37:44,740 --> 00:37:47,177
You know, you were only there in
the first place 'cause of Billy.
861
00:37:47,265 --> 00:37:49,876
Without him, you were nothin'.
862
00:37:49,963 --> 00:37:52,139
In fact, you were always
overlooked.
863
00:37:52,226 --> 00:37:54,228
By Ronde, then by Billy--
864
00:37:54,315 --> 00:37:56,056
Billy never overlooked me.
865
00:37:56,143 --> 00:37:58,232
[Rush]
'Lot of pressure on Billy.'
866
00:37:58,319 --> 00:38:01,670
The church, the studio, I'm sure
trying to help you added to it.
867
00:38:01,757 --> 00:38:03,716
Good thing he had support
from someone like Beatrice.
868
00:38:03,803 --> 00:38:05,587
What? Why?
869
00:38:05,674 --> 00:38:06,849
Well, she loved him.
870
00:38:06,936 --> 00:38:08,286
Love? Please.
871
00:38:08,373 --> 00:38:09,635
She didn't even know him.
872
00:38:09,722 --> 00:38:11,245
Paid for his headstone
after he died.
873
00:38:11,332 --> 00:38:12,638
She didn't pay for it.
I..
874
00:38:14,901 --> 00:38:16,729
I kept hearing
about this headstone.
875
00:38:16,816 --> 00:38:18,296
Wanted to see it for ourselves.

[Rush]
'"The Lord is good to all'
877
00:38:21,603 --> 00:38:24,693
and his tender mercies
are on all his works."
878
00:38:24,780 --> 00:38:26,216
Psalm 145.
879
00:38:26,304 --> 00:38:29,524
An ode to Billy.
Your atonement.
880
00:38:29,611 --> 00:38:31,221
'Now, how did you pay
for it, Chandra?'
881
00:38:31,309 --> 00:38:34,137
With the exact amount Billy had
on him when he was killed?
882
00:38:34,224 --> 00:38:36,531
And the groundskeeper
at the cemetery..
883
00:38:36,618 --> 00:38:37,837
...says you were there
at least once a month.
884
00:38:46,802 --> 00:38:47,890
[sobbing]
I loved Billy.
885
00:38:54,244 --> 00:38:55,550
Ever since I was little..
886
00:38:57,422 --> 00:38:59,032
...he was there for me.
887
00:38:59,119 --> 00:39:01,382
And when Billy needed you..
888
00:39:01,469 --> 00:39:02,818
...you were there for him,
weren't you?
889
00:39:05,038 --> 00:39:06,822
[sobbing]
890
00:39:06,909 --> 00:39:07,997
He called.
891
00:39:10,130 --> 00:39:13,307
Said he needed a ride
to the bus station.
892
00:39:15,831 --> 00:39:17,006
[sighs]
893
00:39:19,008 --> 00:39:20,880
You don't understand.
894
00:39:24,100 --> 00:39:27,321
I couldn't lose him.
895
00:39:27,408 --> 00:39:29,454
He was the only one
who believed in me.
896
00:39:31,891 --> 00:39:34,502
Ooh! Thought I'd have
to walk the whole way.
897
00:39:34,589 --> 00:39:35,764
I owe you tons.
898
00:39:35,851 --> 00:39:37,549
Oh, it's not a problem.
899
00:39:37,636 --> 00:39:39,594
Why you jumping to get
to the bus station anyway?
900
00:39:39,681 --> 00:39:41,988
Gotta get to Baltimore.
901
00:39:42,075 --> 00:39:44,207
I finally stood up
to my old man, Chandra.
902
00:39:44,294 --> 00:39:45,470
'I'm gonna move out on my own.'
903
00:39:45,557 --> 00:39:46,645
- Really?
- And look.
904
00:39:48,255 --> 00:39:50,083
I told Ronde to kiss my ass..
905
00:39:50,170 --> 00:39:51,780
[chuckles]
...and he actually paid me.
906
00:39:53,042 --> 00:39:54,261
You shove it, Ronde.
907
00:39:54,348 --> 00:39:56,263
[both laughing]
908
00:39:56,350 --> 00:39:58,831
But you're still gonna work
for him though, right?
909
00:39:58,918 --> 00:40:00,833
What? No.
910
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,226
I'm gonna do myownthing.
911
00:40:03,313 --> 00:40:06,621
But you're the only one
promoting me there.
912
00:40:06,708 --> 00:40:09,711
[chuckles]
You said we were gonna make
a record together.
913
00:40:10,843 --> 00:40:12,018
'I believed you, Billy.'
914
00:40:13,411 --> 00:40:15,238
A-and we can someday.
915
00:40:15,325 --> 00:40:17,893
Someday? When?
916
00:40:17,980 --> 00:40:20,940
Without you around,
I'm just a ghost.
917
00:40:21,027 --> 00:40:23,203
You can't just leave.
918
00:40:23,290 --> 00:40:24,900
I have to.
919
00:40:24,987 --> 00:40:26,554
I'm gonna go get Beatrice
and bring her back here.
920
00:40:26,641 --> 00:40:28,121
- So we can start a label--
- Beatrice?
921
00:40:28,208 --> 00:40:29,775
You know, it's because of her
that I'm, I-I..
922
00:40:29,862 --> 00:40:31,211
I have the guts to do all this.
923
00:40:31,298 --> 00:40:33,213
Because of her?
924
00:40:33,300 --> 00:40:36,695
Some a-assistant wants to leech
off of you
925
00:40:36,782 --> 00:40:39,001
'cause she knows
you'll be something?
926
00:40:39,088 --> 00:40:40,612
'No, it's not
like that at all.'
927
00:40:40,699 --> 00:40:42,918
- She believes in me.
- Ibelieve in you.
928
00:40:45,747 --> 00:40:47,270
She's pregnant.
929
00:40:47,357 --> 00:40:48,663
'And I wanna be with her.'
930
00:40:48,750 --> 00:40:50,186
This is something
that I need to do.

00:40:52,972 --> 00:40:54,495

No.

We make, we make magic, Billy.
935
00:40:59,674 --> 00:41:01,546
You know, you know
what I can do.
936
00:41:01,633 --> 00:41:03,069
- You're the only one.
- Chandra, calm down.
937
00:41:03,156 --> 00:41:05,201
You said-you said
we were gonna make it--
938
00:41:05,288 --> 00:41:06,768
- You just calm down.
- Together.
939
00:41:06,855 --> 00:41:08,117
It will be okay.
You're great.
940
00:41:08,204 --> 00:41:09,728
We'll make a record someday.
941
00:41:12,034 --> 00:41:13,558
This is not about the record.
942
00:41:16,691 --> 00:41:17,649
I'm sorry.
