Too Sweet: No! No! No!
Oh, man!
Nova: Too Sweet!
Too Sweet.
- ( Too Sweet yelping ) - Too Sweet. Too Sweet!
Too Sweet! Too Sweet! Wake up, baby. It’s Nova.
You’re dreaming.
It’s okay. It’s okay.
( shushing )
( Too Sweet sobbing )
They was beating me.
They wouldn’t stop.
You’re okay. You’re okay.

Hollywood: Now, it has been a week.
I paid $139 for expedited services.
Now, where I’m from, "expedited" means faster
than your normal slow-ass service.
Yeah.
Yeah, I hear you.
Well, y’all need to tighten up over there,
is all I’m trying to say.
( phone beeps off )
What’s that all about?
Me and Leanne paid for one of them quickie divorces.
There ain’t nothing quick about it.
And I can’t pull up on your aunt without some proof.
You ain’t never lied.
You know, I never really even noticed it before.
But you sitting behind his desk,
you look like your daddy spit you right out.
Got that same look on your face and everything.
What look’s that? Worry?
I’ll go and handle this business.
I’m going to holler at you in a little while.
( cell phone vibrates )
Charley’s voice: Hi, you’ve reached Charley Bordelon-West.
I can’t come to the phone right now.
Please leave a message.
We got to figure out this mill deal.
We don’t grind, that’s $1.5 million worth of cane
just being left out to rot.
Call me back, Charley.
( phone beeps off )
- What do you think? - Too risky.
Good things usually are.
The equipment’s not up-to-date.
That’s not going to cut it.
Well, not now, but I’ll buy new equipment.
You know, I’ll clean it up.
Charley, that’ll take you at least six months to set up.
By that time we will have missed harvest.
Come on, we can do it in less time than that.
How much is it?
Owner says the Boudreauxs are offering 8.
But he said if I get closer to 9, it’s mine.
But they want an offer by the end of next week.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait.
- Nine million dollars? - Yeah.
Charley, Farm and Loan wouldn’t lend you enough money
to get through harvest.
How are you going to come up with $9 million in a week?
I have an investor in mind.
Frank Rovner, the New Orleans Stingers owner.
I’m meeting him this afternoon.
He’ll go in for half.
Hopefully.
Tell me why.
Because this is beating the Boudreauxs at their own game.
They’ll never see this coming.
So this is a revenge purchase?
You said I needed to go all in.
Yeah, I meant with the farm.
But you know I’m not a farmer, Remy.
I’m a businesswoman.
A CEO.
Someone in control of their own destiny.
And what I plan to do with this,
is turn it into my own business.
Yeah, I’m sure the Durands
had that the very same thing in mind.
This parish is littered with abandoned mills,
and people like you who took on Goliath and lost.
No, I’ve taken on bigger giants than the Boudreauxs before.
And won.
And if you help me,
maybe host a potluck for some of those farmers that I met before?
Ah, here we go.
- What? - I’m going to be honest.
Okay.
Feeling a little bit used.
Remy!
- A little bit. - ( scoffs )
That’s okay. It’s okay.
We could talk about it tonight over dinner and wine.
- Remy Newell... - Hm?
Are you asking me out on a date?
Uh...yeah.
I guess I am.
- ( Keke laughing ) - Micah: Uh, what?
- It’s okay. - You’re positive?
Yes.
Also, Boogie wants you to come to dinner,
now that me and you are a thing.
So, wait, you and I are like...?
Aren’t we?
You kiss me all the damn time.
Yeah. Yeah.
Okay.
But, wait, he’s met me before.
Why does he want me to come over?
Have you dated a black girl before?
Why are you asking me this?
- Because... - Does it matter?
You in the South now.
When you date a black girl, then you meet her daddy.
He makes sure you got manners, and put a little fear in you.
Got it.
I meant to ask you, why do you call your dad Boogie?
Boogie’s my stepdad.
My real dad left me when I was little.
But Boogie’s been way more of a dad than he ever was.
Have you, um...
talked to your dad?
No.
I mean, what’s the point?
So he can tell me that he’s sorry again?
So he can tell me that I don’t understand?
I mean, Keke, he was sleeping with prostitutes for years,
acting like this perfect dad.
I don’t even know who he is anymore.
Micah, your dad loves you.
And that stuff is just between him and your mom.
Okay, well, it affected me too,
so why do I have to talk to him to make him feel better?
You’re right. You shouldn’t.
Come here.
I’m sorry.
I didn’t mean to be all...
No.
Don’t apologize for saying what you feel.
( laughs )
You sure you can’t come over after school?
Not if I want to pass Calculus.
Let me help you study for Calculus then.
You sure you remember?
You’ve been out of school for a while now.
- I’m think it’ll all come back. - ( laughs )
You know, once we start it’ll start to--
All right.
( cell phone vibrates )
Hey, Nova. What’s up?
Nova over phone: It’s me and Rah.
Hey, where are you guys?
At my place.
He came by to tell me about this really impressive idea he has for the harvest,
without a Landry or Boudreaux in sight.
Hey, Charley.
Can’t call me back?
I went out to St. James. They real nice.
We could grind with them.
No, St. James is too far.
It is.
But I researched a trucking company
that leases out refrigerated trucks, you know,
for like produce and stuff.
We could haul our cane in that,
that way the sugar and the cane don’t crystallize,
and we shouldn’t be out nothing except, what,
the trucks and the diesel costs,
which ain’t cheap,
but what other choice we got?
I told you I’m handling it, Ralph Angel.
You didn’t sign anything?
No, but I want to. That’s the point.
I told you to wait.
Aren’t we partners?
I mean, maybe if you listen--
I’m working on something.
I told you, I’ve got it handled, you guys.
Just let me get things in order. I’ve got to go, okay? Bye-bye.
Hi.
Come on. ( phone signal beeps )
I know she didn’t just hang up.
Yeah, she did.
Ain’t nothing new, though.
If she don’t come up with the idea,
she don’t want to hear about it.
At least she picked up your phone call.
She sent me straight to voicemail.
I’ll get into it.
Mm-hmm.
That’s a pretty damn good idea.
Good thinking.
I’m proud of you.
Appreciate that.
Frank: Charley.
- Frank. - ( Frank chuckles )
- How are you? - I’m well.
- How’s your son? - He’s doing well.
Good. Uh, please.
Thanks.
You want some water, or--?
I’ll have what you’re having. But I’ll take it neat.
You’re a woman after my own heart.
( laughs )
So, I think Davis
would consider coming to play for the Stingers
if the offer is competitive.
I told you, a marquee player like Davis
is too rich for my blood.
If I could arrange a sit-down with Davis,
would you hear my proposal?
Tell me this, honestly.
Would Davis West throw down 25, 30 points a game
without Felix Evans feeding him the assists?
Because before Felix got to the Gladiators,
Davis wasn’t putting up those kind of stats.
So you’re saying you’d like them both?
I’m saying that’s not an option.
Felix and Davis have all but signed on the dotted line
to play together in New York.
Well, you can’t compete unless you make an offer.
I’m meeting with Felix tomorrow,
if I can get his agent to quit jerking me around.
( laughs )
And Davis?
( sighs )
Respectfully, Charley,
do you have the access and the approvals
to even negotiate on Davis’s behalf?
The access?
He’s my husband, Frank.
That answer should be obvious.
And the approvals?
I am the approval.
Always have been.
Nothing’s changed in that department.
Charley, you don’t have to rush out.
No, I see I have something to prove to you. But that’s okay.
I’ve been underestimated before.
Hmm!
It’s always a great vantage point
in negotiations, am I right?
Have a good day, Frank.
I’ll be in touch.
I look forward to it.
( sighs )
Hey, I didn’t hear you come in.
Blue’s asleep.
What’s wrong?
Just Charley.
Same old, same old.
Won’t let me do anything, say nothing.
It’s all her,
all the time.
Can’t even do nothing without her permission.
Like she running this farm and not me.
You’re the one taking care of this place.
But she don’t see that.
It doesn’t matter what she does.
All that is you.
You’re the one up at dawn planting and weeding
and taking care of this place day after day after day.
You’ve accomplished so much around here, Ralph Angel.
Your daddy would be so proud of you.
I’m proud of you.
You know what you’ve done, and that’s all that matters.
( phone rings )
Lena over phone: Hello?
Hi, Lena.
It’s Charley. How are you?
Oh, my God, Charley. So good to hear your voice.
I heard a little rumor that you might be in town.
You know I’m living just outside of New Orleans, right?
I forgot your family was living out here.
I got a sister here, too.
I remember. You staying with her?
No, Felix and I are staying at The W.
You know how it is staying with family.
They think you’re bougie because you like espresso
and your own bathroom.
( Lena laughs )
( laughing )
Right, right.
So, while you’re in town, we should get dinner.
You know, catch up.
Oh, Felix and I are leaving tomorrow.
Oh, perfect. We can go out tonight.
Just us girls.
Okay.
That-- That would be great, Charley.
I’ll come to you. Hotel bar, 7-ish?
Can’t wait.
( door opens )
- Hey, Aunt Vi, - Violet: Hey, you.
Smells good.
That for me or Hollywood?
( chuckles )
Well, I admit, I drove by earlier this morning
and saw his truck.
I didn’t think he was coming back
from the rig until Saturday.
I thought I’d drop by, say hello.
Got back a few days ago.
Sorry, he got back when?
A few days ago. ’Wood, you got a visitor.
Hey, Vi.
I thought I smelled your macaroni and cheese.
Hollywood,
you’ve been back almost a week
and you ain’t thought to stop by?
Not to the High Yellow, or my house?
( no audible dialogue )
- Baby, I can explain. - Don’t bother.
Come on, Aunt Vi.
Aunt Vi.
( door opens )
- My bad, ’Wood-- - ( door closes )
- Vi! - Don’t, Hollywood.
I’m late for work.
Hollywood: Come on, Vi.

I told Felix I would divorce his ass
if he signed with Milwaukee.
It’s like winter eight months out of the year.
And if you haven’t noticed,
there’s not a lot of black folks living there.
Why don’t you convince Felix to move here?
He and Davis can play together.
You know they make a powerful combo.
Well, yeah--
Or are they already planning that?
It’s too early to talk about it.
Oh, you should talk to Davis. I’m sure he’ll tell you.
( phone line ringing )
- ( cell phone vibrating ) - Sorry, let me grab this.
Oh, my God, I am so, so, so sorry.
Remy ( over phone ): So you did stand me up.
Not really.
Okay, so you’re on your way?
No.
Then you stood me up.
And let me tell you something,
I’m looking pretty fine, if I do say so myself.
I know you are.
( laughter, chatter )
Wait, wait, wait, are you out on our date without me?
No, no. I--
I had to meet a friend who flew into town,
and I spaced...
I will make it up to you, I promise.
You better.
Okay. I got to go.
I’ll call you soon.
Bye.
( phone beeps off )
( sighs )
Sorry. Forgot I had other plans tonight.
A date?
You and Davis were the perfect couple.
Honestly, like a fairy tale.
Isn’t there some way you two can work it out?
I know too much now.
I mean, don’t you?
How could you go back to Felix?
What do you mean?
Wait, didn’t Felix ever tell you what happened that night?
She was a prostitute that extorted money from us?
So you never met with her?
Milena Galoudian?
No, just paid her off like you.
No.
I met with her.
So, do you know what happened that night?
Just the truth.
You’re going to convince Felix
to withdraw from the New York deal.
- What? - I don’t want Davis up there.
I want him here, close to Micah.
You refuse to go to Milwaukee.
You want to be here, close to family.
Your sister and your friends.
Me.
Felix will do what you want.
And this is what you want.
Are you threatening me?
It’s all about spin.
About reputation.
I am not going to be blackmailed.
( laughs )
If you don’t convince Felix to play in New Orleans,
a tape of Milena Galoudian
re-telling what your husband did to her that night
will be on every gossip site
you’ve ever heard of by tomorrow.
I guarantee it’ll ruin the Knicks deal.
It’ll ruin Felix’s career.
And if you’re anything like me,
it’ll ruin your fairy tale.
I told his cheap ass I didn’t play Double Dutch
when I was a girl,
and I don’t pay "Dutch" now that I’m a woman.
( both laugh )
You should have seen his face. He was looking stupid.
"Pay Dutch."
Well, I don’t pay my wait staff
to sit around and talk while they’re on the clock.
So, get up and get on back to work.
Uh, what work? Ain’t nobody in here.
Well, you better find some work to do,
because this little open mic night
comedy session you got going on?
Closed.
You know you need to get out, girl.
Get your mind off Hollywood.
Dance a little bit. Have some fun.
You’ll forget all about him.
Oh, hey, baby.
Put those over in the corner, thank you.
Of course, miss. No problem.
Mm, you should come out with us to the Juke tonight.
The Juke?
What y’all know about that?
We know enough.
What you got to say about it, Mr. Delivery Man?
My name’s Dayo.
Me and a few of my boys are going to be there.
We going to be there, too.
What?
Well...
I hope you let me buy you beautiful ladies a drink then.
He going to buy us drinks.
( laughs )
Girl, get to work.
( singing ) Gonna go party!
( laughs )
- ( knock at door ) - Come on in.
Sorry. Mr. Des Champs? Nova Bordelon.
"New Orleans Daily News."
Right. Have a seat.
So, you want to know
about the life of a public defender?
I’m flattered, but--
Actually, I’m here about something else.
The interview was just a ruse to get past the guard dogs.
Oh. You can see I’m busy, so--
I’ll be fast.
I’m here about one of your cases.
It’s a kid by the name of DeVonte Bonclair.
He goes by "Too Sweet."
I was told you were his assigned defender.
He’s been out on bail for a couple of months, and he hasn’t heard anything back--
No offense, Miss Bordelon, but I don’t have a clue
who you’re talking about, and I’m not going to know,
not until his folder works its way up that stack,
and that stack over there.
You say that like it’s okay.
Look, this isn’t some law show
where the good guy represents the innocent kid
and everyone goes home happy.
In real life we’re so backed up here,
we can’t even represent folks.
We’re turning people away.
The cases we do have aren’t going to trial for years.
So this kid is supposed to just live in limbo?
Don’t know if he can move on with his life
or if he’s going to get thrown back in jail?
Do you know what that does to a person?
- It’s inhumane. - Absolutely.
We don’t have the money or the manpower to move faster.
It’s like purgatory. For all of us.
I’m sorry.
So am I.
Hollywood: And after all these years,
she don’t give me the time of day?
Like I’m somebody off the street.
No, no, I deserve better than that.
- You’re right about that. - And I been good to Vi.
Ain’t nobody say you ain’t, except Aunt Vi.
- Ain’t that the truth. - I ain’t lying.
Darla: Blue, we’ve already read three books.
Blue: Please, Mommy, just one more.
Listen to your mom, Blue.
- Blue: But, Pop... - Go to bed.
Enough about me. What’s up with Darla?
What, you talking about us?
Nothing. You know, just...
Mm-mm. Don’t give me that "nothing," now.
I ain’t seen you grin this hard
since hush was a puppy and tater was a tot.
Things just good.
That’s all.
- ( knock on door ) - Boogie: Hey! Hey, I hear you.
- Who that? - Hollywood: Boogie!
Boogie, come on in here, boy!
- What do you say, Boogie? - Hey, Ralph Angel.
H-town.
Y’all know what Goddamn day it is?
- Friday. - All right! So where the party at?
Mm-mm.
Boogie: Hey, we got to live.
Especially you.
Walking around with your head all down,
looking like your dog died.
Because you sad about Violet?
Come on, man, let’s hit up a place.
I appreciate it, all right? But today just ain’t the day.
You killing me, ’Wood.
I’m going to go check on Darla and Blue.
’Wood, we going to do this.
Hollywood: Oh, we are, huh?
Ralph Angel: Get your head in the game.
- Talk to him, Boogie. - All right, man.
- Get your head in the game. - Hollywood: Mm-mm.
Now, you heard what he said, now.
Don’t be making us look old in front of young blood.
Old? That’s you over there with that Halloween candy cane shirt.
( both laugh )
Okay, all right. So come on, then.
A little bit of fun ain’t never killed nobody.
Right? Just one night.
One night.
( hip-hop music playing )
( indistinct chatter )
Thank you, baby.
( laughs )
All right. So you can’t just stand here.
- Come on. - Ah.
( laughs )
( indistinct chatter )
That’s what I’m talking about, man.
Hey, all right, man. I’ll grab us some drinks.
- All right. - All right? I got you.
You know what I’m drinking though, huh?
Boogie: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got it.
- He’s so excited. - I know.
( both laugh )
Man, I’m glad you came out, though.
All right. I’m doing good, okay?
- Ralph: All right. - Okay.
Let’s see what’s happening.
( laughing )
All right, hold up. Hold up.
You don’t want to do that.
Look, I’m out.
Nah, ’Wood...
You tell Boogie I bounced.
’Wood, hold up.
Hold...
I didn’t know you could move like that.
Well, now you do, Dayo.
( chuckles )
Yeah.
Night.
Wait, now. The night ain’t got to end like this.
Well, me and Roberta, we--
I got my own ride home, Vi.
See there?
I got music back at my place.
We could pick up right where we left off.
I had a really nice night.
( clears throat )
But it’s late and I’m going home, get in bed.
By myself.
And I will see you the next delivery date.
Welcome to our conversation series on social justice.
I’m Melissa Harris-Perry and joining me on stage today
is Nova Bordelon.
She’s an award-winning investigative reporter
with the "New Orleans Daily News,"
and my soror.
Welcome.
Thanks for having me.
Now, Nova, our conversation today is going to focus on
the idea of the journalist as activist.
And looking at your body of work,
of which I’m a big fan,
you’ve covered everything from police corruption
in low-income communities,
to the problem of the American migrant workforce.
When you think of your role as a journalist,
do you feel a sense of responsibility
to take an advocacy position in your work?
I absolutely do.
I’ve worked hard to get to a place
where I can choose the stories I want to cover,
and it’s important for me to reflect humanity in my work.
And so there’s definitely an advocacy component
in everything that I write.
I think it’s critical that you use your platform,
whatever that is--
blogs, Twitter, social media, whatever--
to empower as well as--
As educate.
( applause )
Let’s talk about a piece you wrote earlier this year,
on the for-profit prison complex and over-policing.
I understand that you were able to help the young man
featured in that story. His name is Too Sweet.
Yes, that’s correct. He’s been released on bail,
but we still have a huge uphill battle
to get his charges dropped.
The Public Defenders’ office in Louisiana
is woefully underfunded,
yet they are sure happy to keep the bail money coming in.
It could be years before Too Sweet gets a trial.
But I just want to reiterate, his charges are quite serious.
I mean, intent to distribute, assault on an officer.
So those are-- Those are pretty serious charges.
Serious charges if they were true.
Now, regardless, no minor should be held in an adult prison.
They are not equipped to handle
the emotional and psychological trauma of prison culture.
It’s a good point. That’s a form of PTSD
- that we rarely talk about. - Yeah.
Now, I know you’re not publicly affiliated
with the Black Lives Matter network or movement,
but BLM has really changed the way
that civil rights and social justice are articulated,
and the way they’re executed in this country.
But now, with one tweet, you can move the needle.
So as a journalist, give me your thoughts
on the Black Lives Matter movement as a whole.
The BLM energy was formally birthed in response
to the 2012 acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s killer.
And there have been chapters around the world
that respond to incidents of anti-blackness
and state-sanctioned violence against black people.
The movement is for people who are interested
in the liberation of black lives.
And yet there’s serious criticism of BLM.
What do you make of those critiques,
especially of their relationship with law enforcement?
Nova: The one criticism that frustrates me the most
is this idea that there’s a need for a leader,
which is this coded language for--
meaning that there’s no straight male leader at the helm.
But truth is, civil rights work
has been organized by communities of women, queer,
and gender-non conforming people of color.
Secondly, there’s this misconception
that anything pro-black means anti-white.
It doesn’t.
Anybody who wants to fight for equity and justice
should feel empowered to do so.
I mean, reality is, law enforcement in this country
is built on anti-black racism.
As a community, we need to interrogate
our relationship with the police.
It’s critical for our survival.
We deserve to be served and protected,
and I want to work hand in hand with the brave men and women
who agree with that on the force.
Because they do exist.
I know that for a fact.
Melissa: I want to thank Xavier University
for sponsoring and supporting us today,
and also for all the folks on Twitter here
for being willing to talk about social justice.
- ( applause ) - Thank you for engaging with us.
I’m so sick of this.
We got one more. Let’s do the last one.
So slope equals rise over run.
Slope M is equal to...
- One-half. - Yes.
What you talking about, you needing help...
Girl: Mm-hmm, sure.
( indistinct chatter )
( cell phone chimes )
Mom. Hey.
Hey, sweetie.
So, this is your study group?
Micah: Yeah, yeah. You remember Keke.
Keke, Mom.
And these are her friends Latisha and Caesar.
Hi, Mrs. West.
Hi, Keke.
And just Charley is okay.
Miss Charley, I follow you on Twitter, and I love your style.
It’s so good to meet you.
Thank you.
Micah, isn’t it getting a little late?
Well, yeah, we’re just gonna finish up a couple problems,
and then we’ll be done.
Okay. Well, don’t stay up too late. Good luck on your finals.
- Thank you. - Thank you. Good night.
Love you.
- Love you? - ( all laugh )
Oh, my God.
Your mom? Fabulous.
- Latisha: Fabulous. - Fabulous.
That’s Miss West for you.
Latisha: I’m going to be just like her.
Micah: All right, number five.
- Latisha: All right. - Keke: Focus.
( indistinct chatter )
Hey, Davis.
It’s about Micah.
No, no, no, he’s-- He’s fine.
But I’m really worried about him, though.
No, he’s-- He’s been acting out.
He’s hanging with the wrong crowd.
No, he won’t listen to me.
He needs you here.
Yes I do.
You should get down here as soon as you can.
Okay.
( laughter )
Micah: No, that’s a no.
That’s a no!
( laughter )
Latisha: Thank you.
Darla: That’s weird.
Ralph Angel: She be dealing with crazy folk.
Darla: She’s nice.
Ralph Angel: You still talk to her? That’s crazy.
Darla: I do...
( talking indistinctly )
Ralph: Hold up for one second.
I’ll be right back.
What you say, ’Wood?
Darla don’t drink no more,
and I’m having trouble finishing this one.
Nah, good ahead.
- Nah, man. - Come on.
Nah, nah.
You headed back to the rig already?
Thought you just got done.
I figure if I leave early in the morning,
I can pick up a shift.
But I’ll just stay down there. Get me a crib.
No use in rushing back here If I ain’t got nobody.
You hear me?
You know my door’s always open to you.
Ain’t no asking needed.
Thank you, man.
But you don’t need no roommate no more.
You got new life.
All right.
Darla: You okay?
Ralph Angel: Oh, no, I’m all right.
You sure you got to do this?
Maybe you should tell Aunt Vi you’re leaving.
Look, if them divorce papers come,
you just send them to me, all right?
Not that I even need them no more.
You know you always going to be my unc, right?
Me and Blue, we’re going to come visit.
All the time.
Oh, I’d like that.
You take care of yourself, Ralph Angel.
Love you, ’Wood.
Love you too, partner.
( car engine start )
( Darla sighs )
It took three books,
but Blue is finally asleep.
I promised him we could make blueberry pancakes
when I come back in the morning, so...
What are you doing picking up my purse?
Maybe you should stay here for the night,
and I’ll go to the store in the morning.
- Hollywood--? - Moved out today.
We got the place to ourselves.

Nova over phone: Hello?
Hello, beautiful.
Hi, Calvin.
You were dazzling on that stage.
Thank you.
( sighs )
It meant a lot to see you there.
It’s been too long.
For me, anyway.
Yeah. For me, too.
What you said...
The world needs more people like you in it.
You believe in Too Sweet, so I do, too.
Due to insufficient evidence,
all charges against Too Sweet have been dismissed.
He’s a free man.
Wh-- What?
How?
I have a contact at the DA.
I just kind of called in a favor.
I don’t know if I’ll ever be able
to thank you enough for this.
Don’t. You never have to say thank you to me.
Nova...
I love you.
( sighs )
We can’t keep doing this.
Falling back together again.
I can’t handle being broken again.
I miss you.
But I can’t share you anymore.
I need to move on, and...
you’re not mine to have.
I left my wife, Nova.
